21: Wu Qing's request

After handing over the silver, Ye Ming walked to the backyard of the mansion. With a casual toss, the flying boat expanded in the air and slowly descended to the ground.

Ye Ming walked onto the flying boat with his hands behind his back, and also activated the Grand Array.

After everything was done, Ye Ming took out the wild boar's carcass, preparing to make a delicious meal.

After he had sliced all the pork, he took out a grill, skewered the pork, and placed it on to roast.

A minute later, a meaty aroma filled the entire flying boat. Ye Ming quickly sprinkled on the seasonings, and a sizzling sound was heard.

An even richer barbecue scent emanated from the skewers. Ye Ming couldn't wait any longer; he picked one up and ate it in one bite.

"Delicious!"

Ye Ming's eyes lit up. He finally knew the taste of Yao Beast meat; it was too fragrant, incomparable to anything Mortal!

Three hours passed as he ate, and the entire wild boar was devoured by him.

At Peak Foundation Establishment, he wasn't afraid of overeating. The food he consumed could be digested by his magical power, and eating Yao Beast meat could even increase his cultivation!

After finishing the wild boar, Ye Ming went to Cultivate.

The next morning, Ye Ming left the mansion, intending to find Wu Qing, the City Lord.

He had very few Cultivation Techniques, and his attack methods were too singular. He needed to find a few Cultivation Techniques with offensive capabilities to Cultivate, and also find Cultivation Techniques that the Old Village Chief and the others could Cultivate.

His two Cultivation Techniques were not suitable for them; without a large amount of resources and time, it wouldn't work. Only he had a cheat, so he didn't have to worry about these things at all.

As Ye Ming pondered what Cultivation Technique to look for, he arrived at Wu Qing's City Lord's Mansion.

"Stop, this is the City Lord's Mansion! Idlers are forbidden to approach!"

As soon as Ye Ming approached the City Lord's Mansion, an armored man holding a large saber loudly stopped him, even placing his hand on the hilt of his saber. If Ye Ming dared to approach, the man would draw his saber without hesitation.

It was the first time Ye Ming had been reprimanded like this. He frowned, looked at the armored man, and at the same time, an invisible pressure began to bear down on the man.

Outside, he was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. His actions did not need to be controlled by others. Of course, if someone was stronger than him, he would just remember it and deal with them later.

But a Mortal dared to treat a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like this. If he wasn't punished, they might think the world belonged to them.

At this moment, just after the armored man finished his reprimand, he felt his body inexplicably heavy. As time passed, the pressure on him grew stronger, his body began to creak, and he was almost unable to breathe.

The man finally couldn't help but look up at Ye Ming, only to see his leng mo expression. The man immediately knew that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.

"Immortal, please forgive me, this humble one was blind..."

As soon as he spoke, the pressure on him instantly disappeared, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, relieved to have survived.

"Hmph, next time keep your eyes open. Don't reprimand people at every turn, or you might be obliterated by a single palm one day!"

Ye Ming snorted coldly and strode into the City Lord's Mansion, no longer bothering with the dog-like man.

At this time, in an antique study within the City Lord's Mansion, Wu Qing was reviewing documents. Standing beside him was a young girl in green, his daughter, Wu Yiting.

As soon as Ye Ming entered the room, he saw these two. The City Lord's Mansion was too large; he had to rely on his Divine Sense to find City Lord Wu.

The sound of the door opening drew the father and daughter's attention. Wu Yiting's beautiful eyes narrowed when she saw an unfamiliar young man walk in, and just as she was about to speak, Wu Qing stood up with a smile.

"Senior Ye, why did you come personally? Come, come, sit here!" Wu Qing's attitude was exceptionally good. He invited Ye Ming to sit in his main seat. Seeing his daughter still stunned beside him, he couldn't help but say to her, "Why aren't you brewing tea!"

"No need, I'm only here for one thing!"

Ye Ming smiled and refused, but Wu Qing still winked at his daughter, and only then did his daughter go to prepare tea.

His daughter also just remembered in her heart, was this young man the Senior her father had mentioned earlier?

As Wu Yiting left, she looked back at Ye Ming, a hint of brilliance flashing in her eyes.

After his daughter left, Wu Qing said to Ye Ming with a full smile, "Senior, if you have anything, please speak. As long as it's something I can do, I will do my best!"

"Hehe, it's nothing major. I just wanted to ask City Lord Wu, do you know where there's a large market? I need to get some things."

Ye Ming shook his head and asked with a chuckle.

"I know, I know. Senior, please wait a moment, I'll go get something!"

Hearing Ye Ming say this, Wu Qing nodded repeatedly, then took out a scroll from a corner of the study.

The scroll contained a map, not only of the Jin Dynasty but also other Dynasties. Sects and Schools were also recorded on it, but there were also many hidden forces not on the map, which Ye Ming had heard of.

For example, the Seven Fiends Sect was a hidden Demonic Sect.

Ye Ming glanced at the map and then heard Wu Qing speak.

"Senior, please look, there is a large market here. It is jointly managed by three Sects and is considered the largest market in our Mortal Realm. If Senior wishes to go, please take the map with you!"

Wu Qing pointed to a spot on the map. That location was a bit far from him, requiring a day's journey by flying boat, but there was enough time.

Ye Ming did not refuse Wu Qing's kind offer. He put away the map and was about to leave when Wu Qing's daughter happened to return with the tea.

"Senior Ye, wait a moment!"

Seeing his daughter return, a flash of inspiration crossed Wu Qing's mind, and he immediately called out to Ye Ming, who was about to walk out of the study.

Ye Ming stopped, turned, and looked at Wu Qing in confusion. Why was he calling him?

"My daughter has long yearned for a Cultivation life, but as her father, I have little to offer her. Now that Senior is here, I was wondering if my daughter could become your Disciple?"

As soon as he said this, Ye Ming looked at his daughter. If it was beneficial to him, he wouldn't mind teaching her a bit.

At this moment, Wu Yiting was standing at the doorway, holding the tea. She also heard what her father said. She indeed yearned for Cultivation, but her father hadn't taught her anything, saying it was a Sect rule.

If she could become a Disciple of the Foundation Establishment Senior before her, she could become a Cultivator, which was the life she dreamed of. Not only could she maintain eternal youth, but she could also fly and burrow through the earth.

This was simply a perfect life!

With this thought, Wu Yiting looked at the extraordinary young man.

Ye Ming also happened to look at her, only to find that she had a four-element miscellaneous Spiritual Root. Logically, with such a Spiritual Root, she could enter a Sect. Why didn't Wu Qing send her in?

When Ye Ming asked this question, Wu Qing sighed, "A miscellaneous Spiritual Root has a lowupper limit, and although she could Cultivate in a Sect by relying on a Spiritual Vein, her status would only be that of a Utility Disciple. Such a Disciple doesn't have much time for daily Cultivation and is subject to certain restrictions. I don't want my daughter to suffer there."
