Chapter 25 - Chapter 24: Yunzhong Prefecture Town Guardian Envoy

Seeing the long-bearded old man cut off the communication, Elder Lu put away his jade token and fell into contemplation.

"What does that old ghost Fang mean?"

"First he asked about Zhang Yuhe's Cultivation Realm, then he said I would be greatly surprised after seeing him."

"Could that kid have already Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

"Impossible."

He naturally had a deep impression of Zhang Yuhe, the Disciple who joined the Inner Sect with a token.

After all, it had been nearly a hundred thousand years since the Dao Saint Sect issued tokens, and all other tokens had long since been recalled.

This last token had been silent for many years, and he even thought it might have been lost.

When Zhang Yuhe produced the token, he was somewhat surprised.

However, what surprised him was not Zhang Yuhe himself, but that this last token could still be found.

He hadn't paid much attention to Zhang Yuhe as a person.

A Qi Refining Stage kid in his twenties must have very ordinary Aptitude, what's there to pay attention to?

Anyway, according to Sect rules, for those holding a token, regardless of their talent or Aptitude, or their background, as long as they are not a Demon Race minion, they can be accepted into the Inner Sect.

Since Zhang Yuhe could produce the token, he just needed to follow the rules.

Elder Lu, named Lu Mingfang, served as an Elder of the Dao Saint Sect, responsible for Disciple management affairs within the Sect.

He had handled many such matters and believed he wouldn't misjudge.

Elder Fang suddenly bringing up Zhang Yuhe made him very curious.

"Did I really misjudge back then? Is this kid a Cultivation Genius?"

"Forget it, I'll know if I go take a look. It's also a good opportunity to arrange his duties."

Lu Mingfang stood up and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards Silver River Peak...

Silver River Peak.

Zhang Yuhe was practicing the Sky Wasteland Flying Immortal Art. Although his Comprehension Ability was off the charts, and he understood anything at a glance.

However, understanding and proficiency are two different things. For a life-saving technique like the Sky Wasteland Flying Immortal Art, it's naturally better to practice it more.

Suddenly, he frowned and stopped practicing the Sky Wasteland Flying Immortal Art.

"Why is someone still looking for me?"

Sensing someone knocking on the Formation outside, Zhang Yuhe felt a bit strange.

He had Cultivated in the Dao Saint Sect for over a hundred years, but he hardly knew anyone, so no one should be looking for him.

Zhang Yuhe took out his jade token and activated the Formation of Silver River Peak, only to see Lu Mingfang hovering outside the peak.

Seeing this, he immediately flew over and respectfully called out.

"Disciple Zhang Yuhe greets Elder Lu."

He naturally recognized this Elder who had brought him into the Sect, and Zhang Yuhe could roughly guess Lu Mingfang's intention.

He probably wanted to arrange his Town Guardian Envoy duties.

To be honest, Zhang Yuhe had no interest in going out to serve as a Town Guardian Envoy.

Although serving as a Town Guardian Envoy outside could earn double the merit points compared to Cultivating within the Sect, and as a representative of the Dao Saint Sect guarding a region, it would be incredibly easy to gain some benefits.

Despite this, he still had no interest. Serving as a Town Guardian Envoy outside would delay his Cultivation.

How good it was to stay within the Sect, with nothing to worry about, no one to disturb him, and the Dao Saint Sect's Spiritual Qi was abundant, truly a Cultivation Holy Land.

If he went out to serve as a Town Guardian Envoy, he wouldn't have such a good Cultivation environment, and he might even have to deal with some local troublesome matters from time to time.

It was very annoying.

However, he had no choice; that was the rule of the Dao Saint Sect.

Inner Sect Disciples rotated Town Guardian Envoy duties every hundred years, and whether he liked it or not, he had to go obediently.

Since he enjoyed the comfortable Cultivation environment provided by the Dao Saint Sect, he naturally had to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

Those unwilling to bear responsibility would not have a good end anywhere...

A hundred years later, when Lu Mingfang saw Zhang Yuhe again, he completely disbelieved his eyes.

"Late Stage Soul Transformation? How is this possible?"

He sensed the aura emanating from Zhang Yuhe again.

"It really is Late Stage Soul Transformation."

"Did I misjudge back then? Was this kid not at the Qi Refining Stage then? Was he already at Foundation Establishment, or even the Golden Core Realm?"

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfang couldn't help but shake his head. Of course, he couldn't have misjudged back then.

It was impossible for a Qi Refining Stage Disciple to conceal his aura in front of him, a Body Integration mighty expert.

So, the question is, this kid is indeed in the Late Stage Soul Transformation now.

This means that this kid went from the Qi Refining Stage to the Late Stage Soul Transformation in a hundred years.

Such a Cultivation speed completely broke through his imagination.

Elder Lu Mingfang's mouth gaped, and he didn't know where to begin. After a long while, he finally asked.

"You've Cultivated to the Late Stage Soul Transformation?"

"Yes, Disciple Cultivates diligently every day and fortunately made some progress."

Zhang Yuhe answered cautiously. He also felt that his Cultivation speed was too fast and was a bit worried that these old monsters of the Dao Saint Sect would capture him for dissection and research.

If he didn't have the player identity, where he could revive after death, he wouldn't dare show his face in front of these old monsters.

Perhaps after exchanging for a Cultivation Technique, he would find a deserted place to quietly Cultivate until he was invincible before daring to move around.

"Not bad."

Hearing Zhang Yuhe's answer, Lu Mingfang nodded in approval.

Before coming, he had checked Zhang Yuhe's information and found that this kid had never left the Sect since joining, except for one time to collect a Cultivation Technique.

Not to mention leaving the mountain gate, this kid hadn't even left the mountain peak he resided on.

Such dedication to secluded arduous Cultivation made even an old monster like him, who had Cultivated for tens of thousands of years, feel inferior.

With such Heart-Nature, how could one fail to achieve immortality?

Of course, more crucially, this kid's talent and Aptitude might be Heaven-Defying, perhaps some kind of spiritual body.

It's just that he didn't test Zhang Yuhe's Aptitude when he first joined, and now that he had joined, it was inappropriate to ask further.

Seeing that Lu Mingfang didn't ask in detail, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He was afraid these old monsters would ask too many questions, but now it seemed they wouldn't.

In fact, it was always like this in the Immortal Realm; everyone had their own secrets, and even close mentors wouldn't inquire too deeply.

Lu Mingfang looked at Zhang Yuhe with a face full of approval and said in a gentle tone.

"Inner Sect Disciples need to serve as Town Guardian Envoy every hundred years, you know about this, right?"

"I know."

Zhang Yuhe nodded in understanding.

"Since you have already Cultivated to the Late Stage Soul Transformation, then the Town Guardian Envoy duty is easy to arrange. The Disciple guarding Yunzhong Prefecture in Hezhou is nearing a Breakthrough and applied to return to the Sect for secluded Cultivation last month. You will go to serve as the Yunzhong Prefecture Town Guardian Envoy."

"Alright."

Zhang Yuhe nodded in agreement. For him, going anywhere was the same; he wasn't familiar with any place anyway.

However, what was intriguing was that Yunzhong Prefecture was exactly where he had entered Yu Fan Heaven.

As the saying goes, where you come from, you return to; the affairs of the world are just that miraculous.

"Give me your identity jade token."

Zhang Yuhe quickly handed over his identity jade token.

Lu Mingfang took the jade token, made a hand seal, and then pointed at the jade token.

The jade token instantly changed. The front was inscribed with "Dao Saint. Silver River Peak Zhang Yuhe," and the back, which was originally blank, now displayed the words "Yunzhong Prefecture Town Guardian Envoy"...
