Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1520 - 670: Majestic Presence (Part 2)

Miao Yunhu, leading Lin Xuankong, passed through dozens of heavily guarded checkpoints before arriving at the entrance of the Profound Immortal Tavern.

Guarding the entrance was a familiar face—Liang Yucheng, the General Trainer, who used to be focused solely on pursuing the Miao Family’s Third Miss, Miao Wan’er. Due to Ding Ye’s influence, this fellow had already been promoted three ranks, becoming the General Trainer of the four Defense Camps of Qingyuan City. In terms of power, he was even a notch higher than the County Magistrate of Qingyuan City, with a grade higher in official rank.

Upon seeing Miao Yunhu and Lin Xuankong approach, Liang Yucheng quickly walked over, saluted Miao Yunhu, and said, "Elder Miao and Brother Lin are both here."

Liang Yucheng’s politeness made Miao Yunhu feel a bit embarrassed, after all, Liang Yucheng, in terms of official rank, was a full three grades above him now!

Miao Yunhu mimicked the salute to Liang Yucheng before asking, "General Liang, how are things here? No unexpected incidents or troubles, I hope!"

Liang Yucheng shook his head, smiling:

"Today’s the day our Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye gathers fine jade and exotic stones from the world. Who would dare to cause trouble today? Aren’t they afraid of incurring the wrath of the Immortal Venerables from the Blood Cloud Sect and the Ancestral Soul Sect of the Great Yan Kingdom?

Not to mention today, in the entire Qingyuan City, there hasn’t been a serious criminal case for dozens of days, right?"

Miao Yunhu nodded and said, "Indeed! Two months ago, as the little chief of the Qingyuan City Inspection Bureau, I was quite distressed by the frequent criminal cases in various districts. Two months later, Qingyuan City has almost become a paradise, not only incredibly prosperous, but also so peaceful that it feels like a dream for me as the little chief of the Inspection Bureau!

However, thinking about it, it’s normal. After all, Qingyuan City is the place where the renowned Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable first manifested, and it is also the hometown of the Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye. Even someone with a screw loose wouldn’t dare to cause trouble in Qingyuan City!"

Liang Yucheng laughed, "With this in mind, the peace in Qingyuan City is a great blessing for you, Elder Miao. Probably no Inspection Bureau Chief in the entire Great Yan Kingdom is as relaxed as you are, hahaha!"

Hearing this, Miao Yunhu was taken aback but soon shook his head with a smile, "That’s true! With the intimidation of the world’s greatest Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable and that Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye, no minor villain in Qingyuan City dares to show their face!"

Liang Yucheng nodded repeatedly, then turned to look at the entrance of the Profound Immortal Tavern, saying:

"Today is bound to be very peaceful. Not to mention minor villains, even Immortal Venerables from other countries certainly wouldn’t cause trouble in our Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye’s territory! Elder Miao, you don’t need to patrol back and forth so arduously. Come into the Profound Immortal Tavern with me and rest for a while! I just saw the Third Miss Miao go inside with the old Patriarch of the Sima Clan; you can go in and meet her. I heard it’s been dozens of days since Third Miss Miao returned to the Miao Mansion!"

Hearing this, Miao Yunhu gave Liang Yucheng a careful look, "Hey, you’re not even with the Inspection Bureau, how do you know so much about my family’s affairs, even that Wan’er hasn’t returned to the Miao Mansion for dozens of days?"

Of course, I know; I have my men stationed near your Miao Mansion’s entrance every day! Now that I, Liang Yucheng, am the foremost General Trainer in Qingyuan City, arranging such small matters is a piece of cake!

Liang Yucheng thought this in his heart, but he muddled through with his words, "I happened to run into one of your mansion’s stewards that day and learned from our chat that it’s been a long time since Third Miss Miao returned, hehe... come on, Elder Miao, Brother Lin, let’s go into the Profound Immortal Tavern and chat!"

Miao Yunhu and Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but laugh at Liang Yucheng’s words.

Lin Xuankong certainly knew Liang Yucheng’s little thoughts, and although Miao Yunhu seldom paid attention to such matters, he had been young once too and clearly understood Liang Yucheng’s intentions towards his daughter!

However, as for his daughter Miao Wan’er, Miao Yunhu knew her very well...

As he followed Liang Yucheng towards the Profound Immortal Tavern, he shook his head slightly, sighing silently in his heart:

Yucheng is a very good child, with a high official rank and wealth, meeting people like Lin Qiang and me without putting on any airs!

Moreover, Yucheng is quite accomplished for his age, achieving a status and accomplishments that far exceed those of me, the little chief, by his early twenties!

Yet, Yucheng’s achievements, although enviable in Qingyuan City, might not catch the eye of my daughter at all!

The present Wan’er, staying by the side of the Sima Dongming Patriarch, mingles with the top dignitaries and tycoons of the entire Great Yan Kingdom, even having opportunities to interact with the Immortal Venerables from the Blood Cloud Sect and the Ancestral Soul Sect! Given such opportunities and Wan’er’s nature to admire strength, how could she possibly hold someone like Yucheng, a military officer, dear to her heart... Let’s just hope they don’t end up awkward! After all, Yucheng is someone I watched grow up!

Soon, the three of them had reached the entrance of the Profound Immortal Tavern, heading inside.

The guards ensuring the safety of the Profound Immortal Tavern were Liang Yucheng’s elite subordinates. Naturally, they didn’t stop the three, respectfully saluting them before stepping aside to let them into the tavern.

Once in the first-floor hall, Liang Yucheng led the two to a corner table, speaking in a low voice, "Elder Miao, those coming to the Profound Immortal Tavern today are the most significant figures in the Great Yan Kingdom. It is said even those Immortal Venerables revered above those great figures from the Blood Cloud Sect and the Ancestral Soul Sect are here! So, we officials of Qingyuan City are not eligible to go upstairs to the second floor, only able to sit here on the first floor!"

Miao Yunhu nodded, "I understand. How could I not know that the attendees at the Profound Immortal Tavern today are colossal figures! Besides, even if was allowed to go to the second floor with Lin Qiang, we would still be ill at ease, afraid to speak, and utterly tense, better to relax here in this corner on the first floor!"

Lin Xuankong was slightly puzzled as he looked out the window. With the effect of the Brahma Heaven Seal, a mere heart thought was enough to lock onto Ding Ye’s position. His confusion lay in the fact that, though Ding Ye was sitting in the largest private room on the third floor of the Profound Immortal Tavern according to his senses, he seemed to be frowning, as if something was worrying him!

Ding Ye’s talent is extremely rare, the likes of which Lin Xuankong had never encountered in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm or the Supreme Origin Realm - the topmost talent!

Based on Lin Xuankong’s estimation, even if Ding Ye’s multifaceted talent didn’t match his, it likely wouldn’t compare to Xiao Xiuyi’s talent in artifact refining. However, in the path of cultivation and battle prowess, it would definitely rival that of the legendary Eldest Princess of the Candle Dragon Race, perhaps even surpass her!

With such an astonishing talent and the five thousand times amplification from Lin Xuankong’s own old and wise talent and his familial talent, Ding Ye’s cultivation speed surpassed that of Lin Xuankong during his Transcendence Realm days in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm by many multiples!

With such cultivation talent, and following his world-renowned triumph at Chaokou Pass, Ding Ye could mobilize countless resources effortlessly, especially in cultivating the Blood Spirit Technique. Resources wouldn’t be an issue, at least until Transcendence Realm Level Four!

Ding Ye was indeed diligent. Besides arranging for Lin Xuankong the collection of fine jade and exotic stones and promoting the fame of the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, he was wholly devoted to cultivation, skyrocketing his skills within just a few dozen days, having reached the Tier Two Perfection Realm of Transcendence, just a half-step short of Level Three!

With such prowess, with such prowess and progression speed, what could Ding Ye possibly be troubled by now that he would appear distressed?

Is it about the fine jade and exotic stones, or has an issue arisen elsewhere?
