The Path to Becoming Immortal

"Not bad! I'll take a look first!"

While speaking, the white-robed man opened his eyes slightly, with a smile on his face, nodding his head as he looked at the top-grade Qingling Pearl in his hand.

"Very good! Very good! Very good! Old man Ye, you did a great job this year, and it's worth my special visit. Very good!"

After a careful look, the white-robed man praised with great satisfaction.

Then, with a slight raise of his hand, a bottle of pills and the top-grade Qingling Pearls flew towards Ye Shoucheng, looking like he was doing business in a businesslike manner.

"This pill is a reward for you, take it! Okay, take it and deal with the ownership of these Qingling Pearls this year!"

Ye Shoucheng's face lit up, and he knelt on his knees and respectfully caught the pills and Qingling Pearls thrown to him with both hands, shouting.

"Thank you for the reward, Lord Immortal!"

Just at this moment, the white-robed man who was originally going to keep silent suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked at Ye Congde, who was excited at the moment, and said casually.

"You must have collected this top-grade Qingling Pearl! It's not easy to collect this top-grade Qingling Pearl if you haven't reached the Nascent Soul stage..."

"My Lord, this top-grade Qingling Pearl was collected by another person in the village! It wasn't me!"

Ye Congde honestly told the truth without thinking too much. There was nothing to hide.

And it was unwise to hide it from a great Lord.

It was obvious that this Lord seemed to know a lot about collecting Qingling Pearls.

There were two important reasons why these top-grade Qingling Pearls were rare.

One was that there would basically be competition from sea blind men, that is, Panlong earthworms, which was not something that a mere Jindan stage cultivator could deal with.

In addition, there were huge Qingmeng clams. Even if there were no competition from Panlong earthworms, Jindan stage cultivators couldn't do anything with them. Even if they had magic weapons in their hands, they couldn't open them.

"Oh!? Someone else..."

The man in white robes looked at Tie Niu outside.

After a flash of shock in his eyes, he immediately nodded slightly and said nothing.

Of course, this scene also fell on the eyes of those around him, and they also found Tie Niu who seemed a little abnormal in the crowd.

Then, the square gradually became lively around the ownership of the Qingling Pearl.

But by chance, no merchant took the initiative to mention the freshly baked top-grade Qingling Pearl, as if it didn't exist at all, and there was not even a curious person.

The liveliness in the square had nothing to do with other villagers, and Ye Zhuang and Ye Honggui were taken home by Ye Lin after fully enjoying the praise from all around.

"You two are really worrying. You actually ran to the deep sea trench and didn't come back immediately!"

As soon as they got home, Ye Lin scolded the two of them. It was really tormenting when they were waiting for them to come back on the sea surface.

"Sister, you didn't say it just now. We can't do anything about it!"

"Next time, next time we encounter this situation, Ye Zhuang and I promise to turn around and run! We are not experienced enough this time..."

Ye Lin was sensible at an early age. Although Ye Honggui is older than her, he is still a little afraid of Ye Lin. Like Ye Zhuang, he doesn't dare to talk back.

The two of them were naughty and mischievous on weekdays, but they were often scolded by Ye Lin.

"Next time! You, as a brother, are also fooling around with him, making me so worried!"

Ye Lin glared at Ye Honggui fiercely, and scolded him as well.

"Okay, sister, don't blame us this time!"

Ye Zhuang was also used to being scolded, and didn't care about it at all. He immediately thought of Tie Niu who had made great contributions.

"Sister, Tie Niu has done a great job this time! If it weren't for Tie Niu, we wouldn't have collected so many beads this time, and the top-grade Qingling Pearl was also Tie Niu's credit!"

"Oh? Then tell me in detail! It seems that you are still hiding a lot!"

Sure enough, Ye Lin's interest was also aroused by this.

On the way back, the two kept it a secret and only talked about it briefly. Even the top-grade Qingling Pearl was not known until they came back.

"Sister, let me tell you..."

Then, Ye Zhuang and Ye Honggui talked about what happened on the seabed in detail.

However, as for the killing of the three people from Liujia Village, the two kept their mouths shut and didn't reveal a single thing.

"More than a hundred Qingling Pearls...I didn't expect that you had so many things happen down there. Not to mention, it's all thanks to Tie Niu!"

Ye Lin had no idea about the Panlong earthworms that appeared in the deep sea, but even Ye Honggui's father was afraid of it, so it should be very dangerous.

Instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on Tie Niu, who was silent.

At this time, Tie Niu, as usual, was still sitting quietly on the stone slab under the eaves, his eyes still blankly looking at something.

"Alas, Tie Niu is also a poor man, with such good qualifications, but he is unconscious!"

Ye Lin looked at Tie Niu, who was still in a daze, and shook her head with regret.

"Don't be afraid, he has us, what is there to be afraid of! He won't starve with us."

"That's right, Tie Niu will be our partner in the future, and no one can bully him!"

Quietly, Ye Honggui's attitude towards Tie Niu also changed completely.

"Oh, I don't know who it is, he always said that we are a burden with Tie Niu! Now you see Tie Niu's good!"

Ye Lin glanced at Ye Honggui with a frown on her lips, and was very disdainful of his words.

"Ye Lin, I also heard others say so..." Hearing the other party say so, Ye Honggui's voice also weakened.

"Sister, we have collected so many beads this time, we should be able to buy the green silver sword you like!"

At this time, Ye Zhuang's thoughts also thought of another place from Tie Niu. The goal that was out of reach before seemed to be easily achieved today.

"I think you want it! There is no rush for magic weapons, it is better to exchange more elixirs, and you should practice well in the future."

"That's right, if we don't fight with others, there is no rush for magic weapons, and elixirs are more practical! When we can break through to the Golden Core Stage in the future, we can get more Qingling beads, and then the magic weapons will be easy to get!"

Ye Honggui also agreed with Ye Lin's words.

"Hmph, I think magic weapons are also important. If you have a magic weapon that works well with you, you won't have to be afraid when others bully you!"

While speaking, Ye Zhuang kept giving Ye Honggui a meaningful look.

"Ah...yes, that's right! What Ye Zhuang said makes sense. Sometimes safety is more important than cultivation!"

Ye Honggui immediately reacted and quickly agreed with Ye Zhuang.
