Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

With that, he began to carefully explain to Chen Ye.

It turned out that the Lingyin Sect had planted quite a number of personnel in Hunyuan City, most of whom were under the management of Wang Fu.

As for Gu Tangyin, she was a particularly important subject of attention.

”So that’s how it is...”

Chen Ye understood.

It seems Lingyin Sect is not completely useless; they even know how to plant people to secretly monitor Gu Tangyin.

After all, Gu Tangyin came from the Ruins Country and is now apparently planning something big. If the sect didn’t pay attention to her, that would be unreasonable.

”Instructor. This young woman has been cultivating in the Ruins Country for years, she’s youthful and arrogant, and she might look down on us Yan Kingdom cultivators a bit...but don’t let this upset you.”

Wang Fu sighed and reminded,

”According to our sect’s intelligence, this time Gu Tangyin came to the Yan Kingdom with her mentor accompanying her...most likely, a Golden Core True Man from Huayue Mansion. If it were just a Golden Core True Man, our Lingyin Sect wouldn’t need to fear, but alas, it’s a Golden Core True Man from Huayue Mansion.”

He had just heard a report from his subordinates that said Chen Ye had a conflict with Gu Tangyin.

His heart was anxious, worried about any clash between Chen Ye and her, so he hurried over.

Chen Ye nodded.

Earlier, he also heard Gu Tangyin mention that it seemed her mentor was in Hunyuan City and would meet Daoist Miaofang.

Seeing Wang Fu’s considerable understanding of Gu Tangyin, Chen Ye’s heart stirred, and he asked, ”Guardian Wang, do you know who Gu Tangyin’s mentor is? What is her status in Huayue Mansion?”

”Since the Instructor knows of Huayue Mansion, then you should also know of the Qianlong and Fuyao Lists. While the Qianlong List is not as prestigious as the Fuyao List, to be listed on it means being a remarkable figure among people.”

Mentioning these two lists, Wang Fu displayed a look of admiration.

Chen Ye was well familiar with these lists.

The Fuyao List only lists Golden Core cultivators, covering the entire Lingxu Realm, evaluating the True Men of the world.

For instance, the Heart Slaughter Sword Master was once seventh on the Fuyao List!

Who is the Heart Slaughter Sword Master, you ask?

He carries the Gourd Sword, nurtures his soul on the Heart Slaughter, and even mastered the Seven Luminaries Soul Nourishing Technique and the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword Formation.

Be it martial arts or magical treasures, he is among the elite in the entire Lingxu Realm.

And yet, such a person was only seventh.

As for the Qianlong List, its prestige does not match that of the Fuyao List.

This list, established by Huayue Mansion, evaluates cultivators below the Golden Core from the Ruins Country.

”Being a cultivator of the Lingxu Realm, I have certainly heard of it. For example, isn’t that True Man Ye from the Refining God Sect in the Yan Kingdom once ranked twenty-second on the Fuyao List?”

Recalling True Man Ye, Chen Ye still had doubts.

This True Man Ye seemed to have been missing for two years now...

In all honesty, Chen Ye didn’t wish for this True Man Ye to have fallen.

Though the Refining God Sect has questionable actions, they are at least the current leader of the Yan Kingdom, and a part of the legacy of Songyang.

If True Man Ye successfully forms a Nascent Soul, the forces of the Ruins Country would not dare to interfere recklessly in the affairs of the Yan Kingdom.

Wang Fu chuckled, ”Indeed, True Man Ye is the top cultivator of the Yan Kingdom, with formidable strength.”

”Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp! (Yes! Yes!)”

The little white fox couldn’t help but crawl out of Qing Jun’s backpack, lying on the little girl’s shoulder, with bright eyes, looking very happy.

Qing Jun curiously exclaimed, ”Master, Master! Look, although Little White is a fox, it likes to listen to gossip!”

The little white fox disapprovingly rolled its eyes at Qing Jun.

What nonsense!

How can you say it likes listening to gossip!

As if it’s an ordinary granny!

It is, after all, a grand Spirit Fox!

Wang Fu looked at the little white fox in surprise. This white fox’s strength is ordinary, but its spiritual intelligence seems to surpass even that of Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts.

One must know.

Unless it’s a Spirit Beast, regular Demon Beasts can only develop some wisdom after reaching the Golden Core level.

He continued, ”But although True Man Ye is the top cultivator in the Yan Kingdom, she is only ranked twenty-second on the Fuyao List. As for Gu Tangyin’s mentor, the Lord of East Mountain, True Man Dongshan of Huayue Mansion, he is ranked thirty-ninth on the Fuyao List... Sigh, True Man Ye is the top cultivator in the Yan Kingdom, but True Man Dongshan in Huayue Mansion is just the lord of a mountain.”

With that, Wang Fu sighed deeply, somewhat helplessly.

The Yan Kingdom is ultimately just a remote area, and the gap with the Ruins Country is truly vast.

”Chirp chirp!”

The little white fox was unhappy, glaring angrily at Wang Fu.

This guy, how can he compare any cat or dog with True Man Ye!

She has been cultivating in the sect for so many years, how would others know her true strength!

Wang Fu noticed.

Hey?

This little white fox even dared to glare at him!

Although he respects Instructor Chen, he shouldn’t be bullied by a Spirit Beast, otherwise, wouldn’t his Lingyin Foundation Establishment lack spine!

He glared back at the little white fox:

”What do you creature understand? Although True Man Ye is impressive in our Yan Kingdom, didn’t she also fail in forming a Nascent Soul not long ago? The Refining God Sect claims she’s only missing, but everyone with clear eyes knows she failed to form a Nascent Soul and has already fallen... Despite the Refining God Sect sparing no expense, attempting to set up heavenly phenomena over Yan and Qi lands, ultimately it was unsuccessful in helping her reach Nascent Soul...”

”Cheep...”

Upon hearing this, the little fox, who was previously full of anger, suddenly felt downcast.

It sulked with its paws, feeling aggrieved.

”Oh no, Little White, don’t listen to him!”

The cold-blooded little girl, rarely gentle, hugged the little fox and began to soothe it... though it startled the little fox, making it feel uncomfortable all over.

Chen Ye glanced at Wang Fu, his tone cold yet with a hint of protection,

”True Man Ye is the backbone of our Yan Kingdom’s cultivation realm. Regardless of success or failure, the courage to challenge the Nascent Soul realm is worthy of respect. Even if fallen, she should not be treated lightly.”

Wang Fu was taken aback and hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth:

”The Instructor’s rebuke is right! I misspoke, I misspoke!”

The little white fox, lying sulkily in Qing Jun’s embrace, had its fox ears perk up slightly upon hearing Chen Ye’s words.
