Chapter 24 Yunzhong Prefecture Guardian Envoy
Chapter 24 Yunzhong Prefecture Guardian Envoy
Seeing the long-bearded Elder cut off communication, Elder Lu put away the jade token and fell into deep thought.
"What does old man Fang mean by this?"
"First he asked about Zhang Yuhe's Cultivation Realm, and then he said that I would be greatly shocked after seeing him."
"Could that brat have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"
"That's impossible, right?"
He naturally had a deep impression of Zhang Yuhe, the Inner Sect Disciple who joined holding a token.
After all, it had been nearly one hundred thousand years since the Dao Saint Sect issued the tokens, and the other tokens had long since been recovered.
This last token had been quiet for many years, and he even thought it might have been lost.
When Zhang Yuhe took out the token back then, he was somewhat surprised.
However, what surprised him was not Zhang Yuhe himself, but that this last token could actually be found.
As for the person Zhang Yuhe, he didn't pay much attention to him.
A brat in his twenties at the Qi Refinement Stage must have very ordinary Aptitude; what was there to pay attention to?
Anyway, according to the Sect's rules, for those holding a token, neither talent nor Aptitude was looked at, and background and origins were not questioned; as long as they were not lackeys of the Demon Race, they could be admitted into the Inner Sect.
Since Zhang Yuhe could take out the token, he just needed to act according to the rules.
Elder Lu was named Lu Mingfang. As an executive Elder of the Dao Saint Sect, he was responsible for the management affairs of Disciples within the Sect.
He had handled quite a few matters of this kind and considered himself unlikely to misjudge.
Elder Fang suddenly brought up Zhang Yuhe, which made him very puzzled.
"Could I have really misjudged him back then? Is this brat a Cultivation Genius?"
"Forget it, I'll know once I go over and take a look, and by the way, I can arrange his post."
Lu Mingfang rose to his full height and turned into a stream of light, flying toward Galaxy Peak.
…
Galaxy Peak.
Zhang Yuhe was practicing the Heavenly Desolate Flying Immortal Art. Although his Comprehension Ability was off the charts and he could learn anything at a glance,
but knowing how to do something and being proficient at it were two different things. For life-saving means like the Heavenly Desolate Flying Immortal Art, it was naturally better to practice more.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and he stopped practicing the Heavenly Desolate Flying Immortal Art.
"Why is someone looking for me?"
Sensing someone tapping 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 knew hardly anyone. There shouldn't be anyone looking for him.
Zhang Yuhe took out the jade token and activated the Formation of Galaxy Peak, only to see Lu Mingfang hovering outside the peak.
Seeing this situation, he immediately flew over and respectfully shouted,
"Disciple Zhang Yuhe greets Elder Lu."
He naturally recognized the Elder who had brought him into the Sect, and Zhang Yuhe could roughly guess Lu Mingfang's purpose.
He estimated that he was going to be arranged a Guardian Envoy post.
To be honest, Zhang Yuhe had no interest in going out to take up a Guardian Envoy post.
Although going out as a guardian could earn twice as much merit as cultivating inside the Sect, and as a representative guarding a region for the Dao Saint Sect, it was simply too easy to make some side gains.
Despite this, he still had no interest; going out to guard would delay his Cultivation.
How great it was to stay inside the Sect where he didn't have to manage anything and no one disturbed him, and the Spiritual Qi of the Dao Saint Sect was abundant, making it simply a Holy Land for Cultivation.
If he went out to guard, he wouldn't have such a good Cultivation environment, and he might have to deal with some local trivial messes from time to time.
It was quite annoying.
However, he had no choice; the rules of the Dao Saint Sect were like this.
Inner Sect Disciples had to rotate for guardian posts every hundred years, and he had to go honestly whether he was willing or not.
Since he enjoyed the comfortable Cultivation environment provided by the Dao Saint Sect, he naturally had to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.
People who were unwilling to shoulder responsibilities would not end up well anywhere.
…
A hundred years later, when he saw Zhang Yuhe again, Lu Mingfang could hardly believe his eyes.
"Soul Transformation Late Stage? How is this possible?"
He sensed the aura emanating from Zhang Yuhe's body once more.
"It is indeed the Soul Transformation Late Stage."
"Could it be that I was wrong back then? That brat wasn't at the Qi Refining Stage back then; he was already at the Foundation Establishment, or even the Golden Core Realm?"
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfang couldn't help but shake his head. Back then, it was naturally impossible for him to have seen it wrong.
For a Qi Refinement Stage Disciple to hide their aura in front of him, a Body Integration mighty figure, that was an impossible thing.
Then the question came: this brat was now at the Soul Transformation Late Stage, which was correct.
That is to say, this brat spent one hundred years cultivating from the Qi Refinement Stage to the Soul Transformation Late Stage.
Such a Cultivation speed completely broke through his imagination.
Lu Mingfang's mouth opened, and he didn't know where to start. After a good while, he finally opened his mouth to ask.
"You have cultivated to the Soul Transformation Late Stage?"
"Yes, this Disciple Cultivates diligently every day and has fortunately made some progress."
Zhang Yuhe replied carefully. He also felt that his Cultivation speed was too fast and was somewhat worried about being caught by these old monsters of the Dao Saint Sect to be sliced up and studied.
If not for having the identity of a player and being able to resurrect after death, he wouldn't even dare to show his face in front of these old monsters.
Perhaps after exchanging for a Cultivation Technique, he would find a deserted place to Cultivate quietly, and he wouldn't dare to come out and move around until he was invincible in the world.
"Not bad."
Hearing Zhang Yuhe's reply, Lu Mingfang nodded in approval.
Before coming over, he had checked Zhang Yuhe's information and found that ever since this brat entered the Sect, apart from going to collect a Cultivation Technique once, he had never gone out again.
Not to mention walking out of the mountain gate, this brat hadn't even stepped out of the peak where he was located.
Such drive for seclusion and bitter Cultivation made even an old monster like him who had cultivated for over ten thousand years feel inferior.
With such Heart-Nature, why worry about not succeeding in Immortal Cultivation?
Of course, the more crucial thing was still this brat's talent and Aptitude, which might be extremely Heaven-Defying, perhaps some kind of spiritual body.
It's just that when he first joined the Sect, he didn't test Zhang Yuhe's Aptitude, and now that he had already entered the Sect, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask again.
Seeing that Lu Mingfang didn't ask in detail, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
He was just afraid that these old monsters would get to the bottom of things, but now it seemed they didn't.
In fact, it was always like this in the Immortal Cultivation world; everyone would have their own secrets, and even close mentors would not ask in detail.
Lu Mingfang looked at Zhang Yuhe with full approval and said in a gentle tone,
"Inner Sect Disciples need to take up Guardian Envoy posts every hundred years. Do you know about this?"
"I know."
Zhang Yuhe nodded to show his understanding.
"Since you have already cultivated to the Soul Transformation Late Stage, the guardian post is easy to arrange. The guardian Disciple of Yunzhong Prefecture in Hezhou is close to a Breakthrough and applied last month to return to the Sect for seclusion. You will go and take up the post as the guardian of Yunzhong Prefecture."
"Okay."
Zhang Yuhe nodded in agreement. To him, going anywhere was the same; anyway, he wasn't familiar with anywhere.
However, what was intriguing was that Yunzhong Prefecture was precisely his starting point when he entered Yu Fantian.
As the saying goes, where one comes from is where one returns; things in this world were just so wondrous.
"Give me your identity jade token."
Zhang Yuhe hurriedly handed over his identity jade token.
Lu Mingfang took the jade token, his fingers forming incantation gestures, and then tapped toward the jade token.
The jade token instantly underwent changes. The front read Dao Saint . Galaxy Peak Zhang Yuhe, while the back, which was originally blank, now showed the words "Yunzhong Prefecture Guardian Envoy".
