Chen Youli came in and said to Ye Jingwen: "Brother Ye, is the person you mentioned a cultivator from the Ye family of Qingmeng Mountain?"
Ye Jingwen nodded: "Not bad. Did Brother Chen get any news about him?"
Chen Youli smiled and said, "Thats right, he bought something in our store not long ago."
"Oh?" Ye Jingwen exclaimed in surprise, "When did it happen, and where did he go again?"
Chen Youli said, "About a month or so ago, this person came to our store with a friend. From their conversation, one of them was Ye Jiang from Qing Meng Mountains Ye family, and the other was also from a cultivator family, surnamed Lu. The two seemed to be old friends, and the cultivator surnamed Lu was seeing Ye Jiang off. As for where they went afterwards, we dont know."
Ye Jingwen thought for a moment and then knew what was going on.
The Shou Jing Shi uncle asked his disciples to gather information at the time, and had heard that Ye Hai disappeared in Tian Mo Mountain many years ago. A few years later, other Xian families from Qing Meng Mountain came to their door, wanting to drive them out of the spiritual vein of Qing Meng Mountain. The Ye family only had one cultivator left, Ye Jiang, who was Ye Hais younger brother. This Ye Jiang couldnt compare to Ye Hais exceptional talent and could only barely reach the foundation-building stage. How could a foundation-building cultivator compete with those families that had Dan-forming cultivators? Ye Jiang had no choice but to send all the ordinary people in his family to the secular world, making them leave the Xian world from then on, and enjoy wealth and glory in the secular world. He himself became a wandering cultivator. He was already old and no longer thought about advancing, only traveling around, and the last time he was seen was near Qing Meng Mountain.
Chen Youli saw him thinking and came up with an idea: "Ye Shidi, the two of them are very familiar. As far as I know, there is also a family of cultivators in Qingmeng Mountain surnamed Lu. Its possible that the cultivator surnamed Lu is from this Lu family. Why dont you go to the Lu family and ask?"
Ye Jingwen had no other choice, thought about it and felt that this method was indeed feasible, so he said: "Thank you for your advice, Brother Chen. I dont know where the Lu family is located? What does the cultivator with the surname Lu look like, and what is his cultivation level?"
Chen Youli stroked his beard and said, "The Lu family is located on the west side of Qingmeng Mountain. If you see a mountain peak that resembles a palm, thats it. The cultivator with the surname Lu, according to the disciples who received him, is at the same level as Ye Jiang, both are in the foundation-building period, and their age seems to be about the same, apparently they also dont have much lifespan left."
Ye Jingwen nodded and stood up: "Thank you, Brother Chen. Ill set off now, goodbye."
"I dare not, I dare not." Chen Youli shook his head repeatedly. "As fellow disciples, this is what I should do. Farewell, young master."
Ye Jingwen bid farewell with a bow, took Mo Tian Ges hand and left the town, continuing their journey on the flying sword.
"Ye Ge, shall we go to Qing Meng Shan?"
"Yes, go ask around and youll soon find out news about your uncle."
Mo Tian Ge hesitated for a moment before looking up and asking, "Ye Da Ge, why did my uncle have to leave Qing Meng Mountain? Was it just because he couldnt beat others?"
Before answering, Ye Jingwen hesitated for a moment and finally told the truth: "You should know that the cultivation world is a world where strength is respected. Spiritual veins, techniques, and heavenly materials are all taken by those who have the ability. The spiritual vein of Qingmeng Mountain is quite good, so it was divided among the cultivation families. If you dont have the corresponding ability, you cant enjoy this benefit."
"Is it like that Li Yushan?" she muttered to herself, "Because he is stronger than me, so I can only listen to him. If I were stronger than him, I could make him listen to me, or even kill him!"
Ye Jingwen didnt respond for a good while. He thought back to when he was young and entered the sect, because he had no backing, he was always bullied by his senior brothers. Later on, he practiced diligently every day, and finally shone brightly in the small competition within the sect, allowing him to enter under Qingyuan True Persons tutelage, from then on surpassing those who used to bully him, they all came to offer gifts and apologize, changing their usual arrogance. He also thought about this little girls life experience, her parents had both passed away, in that ordinary household, no one loved her dearly, yet she possessed a pure yin physique, it could be imagined if people found out, this lifetime would not be peaceful...
He sighed: "Yes, only if you are strong enough yourself can you control your own destiny; otherwise, others will take charge."
Mo Tian Ge nodded calmly: "I understand."
At this time, a high mountain has already appeared underfoot. The mountain is over 100 zhang tall, with several peaks piercing the clouds, surrounded by spiritual energy, with a vast sea of clouds, and lush greenery covering the entire mountain, living up to its reputation as a sacred mountain.
Ye Jingwen rode his sword around in a circle, and indeed saw a mountain peak to the west that resembled a giant palm, with its sharp top resembling five fingers, and the center of the palm was where the pavilions and buildings were located.
He looked and flew in that direction.
As soon as the two of them landed, a cultivator of the Refining Stage came forward: "Greetings, senior."
Ye Jingwen nodded and asked: "Are you a member of the Lu family?"
This master has only cultivated the second layer of Qi, but his age seems to be around fifty. It appears that he has poor aptitude and no hope of advancing, so he is specially assigned to receive guests. Although this masters cultivation is low, he has a keen eye for observation. Seeing the Taiji cloud embroidery on Ye Jingwens clothes, he immediately recognized him as a disciple of the Xuanqing Gate, and at such a young age, he already had a foundation-building cultivation, so he must be an elite disciple. Therefore, he was exceptionally polite: "Thats right. I dont know what surname and name the senior has, but since youve come to the Lu family, what business do you have?"
"Yue Jingwen said: I am Yue Jingwen, a disciple of Xuan Qing Men. I came here to find someone."
"Ah?" The old man asked warmly, "I dont know who the senior is looking for? Whoever the old man knows will certainly tell everything."
Ye Jingwen didnt mince words: "The person Im looking for should also be a cultivator from the Lu family, at the Foundation Establishment stage, with an appearance and age similar to yours."
"Whats your name?"
"No."
"This..." The old mans face showed a look of difficulty, "Not to deceive you, my Lu family is not a big clan, there are more than ten foundation-building cultivators, and six or seven people who match the age you mentioned... I dont know what brings you here?"
No name was mentioned, and he didnt seem to be an acquaintance, only roughly the same age. The old man looked at Ye Jingwen with a somewhat guarded gaze, apparently worried that he had come seeking revenge.
Ye Jingwen didnt know, and from his bosom he took out a jade bottle, saying: "Im looking for someone to ask about another persons news. If I can find this person, there are ten Nourishing Qi Pills here as payment."
Looking at the jade bottle, the old man couldnt help but feel a little envious. Although the Nourishing Qi Pill was the most ordinary foundation-building pill for Qi-refining cultivators, it wasnt easy for a small cultivator like him to obtain one, let alone ten. The Lu family only allocated one per month.
"Please come in and take a seat, senior."
Ye Jingwen smiled slightly and followed the old man into the waiting hall, where spiritual tea was immediately served.
"I dont know where you heard about this person, but lets analyze it together, maybe we can figure it out."
Ye Jingwen said: "About a month ago, this person and a friend came to the store in Xiāng Qīng Gates market at the foot of the mountain."
"Oh?" The old man thought for a moment and said, "Apart from the closed-door cultivation and not being at home... I think I know who it is among my fellow disciples of the Lu familys foundation-building generation."
Seeing his gaze, Ye Jingwen tossed out the jade bottle in his hand: "If thats the case, Id be troubled to introduce you."
The old man received it with great joy and said repeatedly: "Senior, please wait here for a moment, Ill be back soon."
