A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

"Everyone, Black Moon City is just ahead."

Ye Yun stood at the front of the deck, pointing to a quiet city ahead.

At this moment, everyone from the Xu family gathered around and glanced in the direction he pointed.

They were all astonished when they saw the well-established and impressive empty city ahead.

I originally thought they would be assigned to a remote, small town.

But now it seems that the city in front of us is quite good in terms of both its terrain and size.

Moreover, the houses in the city are intact and can be moved into immediately.

"This Black Moon City is actually so huge?"

"Indeed, the profound energy is quite abundant, making it quite suitable for cultivation."

"Moving here doesn't seem so bad!"

"..."

The crowd gazed at Black Moon City ahead, discussing amongst themselves, and most seemed satisfied.

Xu Qingyan and Xu Mei, gazing at Black Moon City from afar, all nodded with delight.

"Great, great, this place is really great!"

"Yes, if we develop it properly, it should be quite good!"

Although it's not as big as Baiye City, it has the advantage of being the only force of their own here.

From now on, all development inside and outside Black Moon City can be exclusively controlled by them.

Ye Yun was also taken aback when he looked at Black Moon City.

"Wow, it's been cleaned so thoroughly!"

When I last came here, many houses were destroyed due to fierce fighting, but now they have all been cleared away.

Looking down from the sky, the entire city, apart from some damaged buildings, looks brand new.

It's been a while since Ye Yun last visited Black Moon City.

Because this place was massacred by evil cultivators, few people are willing to come here to live and develop.

Only to prevent the place from being taken over by evil cultivators again, some inner and outer disciples were specially sent to guard it.

These are probably the people who managed to turn Black Moon City into this state; they should be rewarded later…

"This is the territory of the ancient sacred land. Who goes there?!"

As the three airships approached Black Moon City, several people dressed in the uniforms of disciples of the Ancient Holy Land immediately came up to them.

The leader was dressed in elder's robes, and his cultivation level seemed to have just entered the Core Formation Realm.

The group consisted of one Core Formation Elder, two inner disciples, and six or seven outer disciples.

This is considered a very standard guard configuration for many outposts.

"Don't be nervous, we're on the same side."

Ye Yunfei stepped forward and showed the group his identity jade token.

Upon seeing this, the men's expressions changed, and they all bowed respectfully.

"So it's Peak Master Ye! Please forgive me for not greeting you sooner!"

Clearly, none of them had actually seen Ye Yun in person; they only recognized the identity jade token in his hand.

"Alright, no need for formalities."

Ye Yun waved his hand and smiled faintly.

"You should have been told by your superiors, right? A cultivator family from the Southern Continent will come and take over Black Moon City."

Upon hearing this, the leading Dan-transforming elders all spoke respectfully.

"Yes! So we've been cleaning up the entire city these past few days, just in time to move in!"

To be fair, people who are willing to work voluntarily without prior notice are extremely rare.

Only someone who truly identifies with and genuinely loves the Holy Land would act this way, which greatly pleased Ye Yun.

Just as the other party said, the whole street was spotless at a glance, which must have taken a lot of effort.

"Well done, this is your reward."

Ye Yun smiled faintly, and with a wave of his hand, flawless pills floated in front of them.

He gave the outer disciples Ascension Pills and the inner disciples Breakthrough Pills, both of which could help them advance further.

The elder at the Core Formation stage gave him a bottle of Myriad Spirit Pills, which could help him quickly stabilize his realm and advance to a higher level.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the pills in front of them.

"This, this is far too valuable!!"

These are all flawless elixirs!

Even just one is something they never dared to dream of before!

Ye Yun smiled faintly at this.

"No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. Remember to keep up this diligent spirit of contributing to the Holy Land in the future."

"Yes, yes! We will certainly dedicate ourselves to the Holy Land!"

The group nodded repeatedly and bowed repeatedly with great excitement.

"Thank you very much, Peak Master!"

It's only because they're in the sky that they'd all be kowtowing to Ye Yun. Otherwise, they would all be bowing and scraping to him.

Even many members of the Xu family watching from behind were astonished.

This young master is far too generous! Are you saying flawless quality pills are free?!

"Alright, there's no need for that."

Ye Yun waved his hand, then spoke to Xu Qingyan and the others behind him.

"So, are you all satisfied with Black Moon City?"

"Satisfied! Extremely satisfied! It completely exceeded my expectations!"

Xu Qingyan replied with a smile, and the people behind her all nodded in agreement.

After all, they had just survived a massacre, and everyone had essentially escaped death.

Now there's a quiet, safe, and move-in ready city here – it couldn't be more comfortable!

"I'm satisfied."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and gave instructions.

"From this moment on, this city belongs to your Xu family."

"The Holy Land will send someone over later to complete the handover with you."

"After this, you are free to make your own decisions, whether you want to change the name or attract investment and development."

"Then the Holy Land will also provide some assistance to help you get through the difficult initial period."

"In short, it still comes down to what I said before."

"As long as you do not associate with evil cultivators or cause harm to others, you do not need to worry about being expelled."

According to Ye Yun, he had resolved almost all of their worries.

Without a doubt, this was extremely considerate of them!

Everyone was extremely grateful and bowed deeply to Ye Yun.

"Thank you, young master!"

"Hmm... then let's develop it well."

Ye Yun smiled calmly and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I will come back to inspect it again after some time."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan nodded and solemnly guaranteed on behalf of the clansmen.

"Please rest assured! Our Xu family will certainly not fail the trust placed in us by you, young master!"

If members of the Xu family were to cause trouble, she would probably be the first to object.

Fortunately, the rest of the clan members are also people who know how to repay kindness.

Seeing this, Ye Yun felt relieved. After observing the Xu family members for the past few days, he realized that they were all of good character.

As he was pondering this, Ye Yun suddenly slapped his forehead, as if something had come to mind.

"Oh no, I completely forgot about her at the Azure Dragon Imperial Palace!"

Thinking only of the Xu family's affairs, Han Yu was left at the Azure Dragon Imperial Palace, so I still need to go and pick her up as soon as possible.

However, this is also a good opportunity to return the token that Cang Lan lent him.

He immediately instructed Xu Qingyan.

"Qingyan, I have some things to take care of, and I'll head straight back afterward."

"As for you, you can go back directly after you've finished dealing with things here."

Xu Qingyan paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, I understand!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Yun impatiently transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

In the blink of an eye, only the Xu family members and a few ancient Taoist disciples stationed there remained at the scene.

Even later on, they would still stay here.

Every ancient holy city under the jurisdiction of the Dao would have a garrison stationed there to understand the local situation, and this was no exception.

At this moment, the leading Elder of the Core Formation Realm looked at everyone with a smile on his face and said.

"Esteemed seniors, let me first show you around Black Moon City."

Thanks to the pills Ye Yun had just given him, he was now filled with energy!

These outsiders, though their origins are unknown, are clearly all people of considerable ability.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan nodded.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

At this moment, Xu Ling came closer and asked curiously.

"By the way, who exactly was that young master just now?"

Upon hearing this question, the elder who had just undergone the Core Formation stage looked at him with some surprise.

"Don't you know? That's our Ancient Holy Land's newly appointed Peak Master Ye!"

"Peak Master Ye?"

Xu Ling and those around her were stunned for a moment.

"Is he very good?"

"Of course!"

The elder who had reached the Core Formation stage grinned, his face full of emotion.

"I...I'm someone who's decided to become cultivation partners with Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"

After he finished speaking, he gave everyone a strange look.

"But seriously, how come you all didn't know about something this important?"

"The Holy Maiden's Daoist partner?!"

Anyone in the Xu family who knew anything about them was shocked.

The Holy Maiden's Daoist partner—doesn't that mean he's very likely to become the second-in-command of the Ancient Dao Holy Land in the future?!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Xu Mei, standing to the side, exclaimed, "No wonder he has such strength!"

Upon hearing this, the Elder of the Core Formation Realm became more and more enthusiastic, and laughed smugly.

"Of course! Peak Master Ye, you rose from a menial disciple to a peak master in just one year!"

"His strength is practically invincible among those of the same level!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was utterly stunned.

They had all heard of exceptionally talented individuals who remained faithful to their chosen path, no matter how powerful they were.

Such a case, which can be described as a model of a comeback, is truly unheard of!

"That's really, really terrifying."

Many people took a deep breath, filled with disbelief.

"Alright, everyone will know more about him later. For now, let's get familiar with Black Moon City."

Just then, Xu Qingyan looked at everyone and spoke slowly, then seemed to remember something and gave instructions.

"Also, let's all get together later tonight, as I have some things to discuss with you all."

As soon as she spoke, everyone responded.

"Yes, Chieftain!"

……

On the other side, after flying on his sword, Ye Yun soon arrived at the Eastern Boundary City.

Although even extraordinary cultivators cannot fly directly from one side to the other on a sword, Ye Yun has the advantage of having a lot of pills.

When the Xuan Qi is about to be exhausted, take a recovery pill and continue flying.

After taking up his post, he easily traveled through the continental teleportation array to reach the Southern Realm City, returning to this familiar place.

"Looks like those guys have given up."

Ye Yun glanced at Nanjie City. Although the guards were stricter than before, it had not yet reached the point of being sealed off.

He used the Thousand Illusion Mask to disguise himself and easily got away with it.

After that, they headed straight for the capital of the Azure Dragon Empire, and then embarked on another long journey.

After some time, we were finally able to see the magnificent capital city in the distance.

Ye Yun let out a long sigh and murmured a sigh.

"Sigh, I still need to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible, otherwise this is too tiring."

Once one's cultivation reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm, with the support of the power of the Great Dao, the speed of flying by controlling objects can be greatly increased.

And as long as it's not too far, there's no need to use recovery pills during the journey...

Before long, Ye Yun transformed into Nangong's image and directly entered the Azure Dragon Imperial Palace by scanning his face.

Now that things have come to this, the guards outside the Azure Dragon Imperial Palace have stopped questioning him and are letting him pass as soon as they see him.

In the Azure Dragon Imperial Palace, in the Azure Blue Study.

Ye Yun exchanged a glance with Cang Lan, returned the borrowed jade token, and smiled faintly.

"Miss Azure, this is the jade pendant you borrowed last time. Now it's returned to its rightful owner."

Looking at the official order that the other party had returned, Cang Lan took it in her hand and played with it for a while, then looked up and chuckled.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, how are things going on your end?"

"It went pretty smoothly, not bad."

Ye Yun nodded slightly and gave an ambiguous reply.

The main thing is that I always feel like the other person is implying something, so I have to be careful.

Sure enough, shortly afterward, Canglan asked another question.

"By the way, didn't Fellow Daoist Nangong attend the Xu family's matter this time?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun instantly understood.

It seems that the female cultivator in green from last time was indeed one of her people, and she reported everything to Canglan afterwards.

However, at that time, I wasn't using Nangong's image, so I naturally felt that I hadn't gone.

Of course, this was something he did intentionally.

To avoid letting people know that the mysterious and powerful Nangong couldn't even defeat a Dao-building cultivator.

Ye Yun smiled faintly and gave the reason he had already prepared.

"It's a trivial matter involving a female slave, and with Miss Azure's help, I won't bother going there myself."

"So I asked someone to take care of it."

Logically, this explanation is plausible.

I just don't know if Azure believed it or not.

She seemed thoughtful at first, then smiled and said.

"I see... Anyway, I hope everything goes smoothly."

Ye Yun nodded slightly and smiled faintly.

"I've come here for two reasons: to return the official decree and to receive Han Yu."

Upon hearing this, Cang Lan smiled gently.

"No problem, she's resting in her guest room right now."

"I have some official business to attend to, so I won't see you off. You can just pick her up yourself."

Mainly because recently, she has driven to work several times during her commute.

She had already annoyed the officials outside, who had jointly petitioned her several times, asking her not to run around during her work hours.

Ye Yun had no objection to this and nodded.

"No problem, you can go ahead and get back to work."

Before leaving, Canglan mentioned it again.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Nangong, don't forget to tell the two holy lands about them."

"Furthermore, if I find any information related to the Ascension Sect, I will send it over immediately."

She clearly knew that Ye Yun would definitely tell the two holy houses about the future of the Ascension Sect.

Bringing it up now is just to get the two holy lands to hold their positions until she personally produces an investigation result.

"Yes, I understand."

Ye Yun waved his hand and smiled faintly.

"See you next time then."

After that, Ye Yun left, and Cang Lan personally escorted him out of the study.

Watching his departing figure, a strange light flickered in his azure eyes.

As she had more and more contact with the other party, a question lingered in her mind.

"Which one is the real you?"

……

After that, Ye Yun skillfully returned to his guest room and met Han Yu, who had been waiting for him.

When Han Yu saw Ye Yun return, she stood up in surprise as she was meditating.

"Senior, you're finally back!"

For the past few days, she has been so preoccupied with worrying about when he will return that she has lost her appetite.

I even had a slight doubt that my senior might have forgotten about me here?

At this moment, Ye Yun patted her shoulder and chuckled.

"I've come here specifically to pick you up this time."

Han Yu's small mouth was slightly open.

"That would be an honor!"

It seems she never expected that she would be so important to this person.

Ye Yun smiled faintly and waved his hand.

"Alright, hurry up and pack your things. Next, I'll take you to Dongzhou."

"Okay! Almost done!"

Han Yu nodded and said repeatedly.

Actually, there wasn't much to pack, since we came empty-handed.

After a short while, she tidied up the room a little and then smiled at Ye Yun.

"Senior, we're all packed up!"

"Okay, let's go."

Ye Yun nodded slightly and led her out of the room.

However, a small incident occurred just as they were about to leave the palace.

To be precise, I ran into an acquaintance.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong?"

The newcomer glanced at Ye Yun, his expression shifting between light and dark.

Seeing this, Ye Yun also took a closer look and then chuckled.

"Oh, isn't this His Highness the Crown Prince? Long time no see!"

The man before me is none other than Crown Prince Cang Jiuxuan.

He hadn't seen the other person since the last birthday celebration.

Han Yu, who was standing beside him, immediately bowed respectfully upon hearing that the Crown Prince was standing in front of him.

At this moment, Cang Jiuxuan glanced at Ye Yun and Han Yu beside him and asked.

"What brings you two here?"

Ye Yun smiled faintly and explained.

"I've finished my business and am about to leave."

Cang Jiuxuan nodded, but then his eyes turned colder.

"However, I have a few questions for you, fellow Daoist."

He stared intently at Ye Yun, his expression somewhat unfriendly.

Ye Yun naturally understood why he was looking at him like that.

But on the surface, Ye Yun remained calm and asked with feigned confusion.

"Oh? What's the problem?"

Cang Jiuxuan narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Why didn't you use Xu Qingyan, the furnace I gave you last time, for your stamina? And why did you help her break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

After all, he had been in contact with Xu Qingyan and knew that in her current state, it was still a long way off for her to break through to the Dao Foundation stage on her own.

As for why there was no suspicion, it was Ye Yun who saved the Xu family back then.

It's also because Ye Yun is now so high-class that Cang Jiuxuan believes that if the other party were to make a move, no one would be able to come back alive.

So, he only suspected it, and Ye Yun let him go and even helped him break through.

Even so, in his view, this was a huge betrayal of himself!

"We're in the same boat, aren't we?"

Ye Yun was not embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she looked at him with a self-righteous attitude and said.

"Does Your Highness think I'm unaware of what you left on Xu Qingyan?"

"If you dare to try and track me down, I will naturally have to do something about it."

These words left Cang Jiuxuan speechless.

"you……"

I originally thought that the restriction was so well hidden that no one should be able to find it.

Just then, Ye Yun said calmly.

"In short, this incident is just a small lesson."

"If there is a next time, I will make Your Highness regret what you have done."

After saying that, he glanced at Han Yu behind him with an extremely nonchalant air and said indifferently.

"let's go."

"Uh, yes..."

Han Yu nodded and quickly jogged after him.

He was deeply shocked.

This senior is amazing! He can be so tough even when facing the crown prince of the empire!

The key point is that the other party was left speechless, which is really too domineering!

"..."

Cang Jiuxuan, standing behind him, watched his departing figure, unable to recover for a long time.

After a long pause, he took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.

"One day, I'll make you regret it!"

Judging from the current situation, recruiting them seems unrealistic.

If that's the case, then the other party is an enemy on my path to the throne!
