Chapter 385: The Situation of the Ascended Monks
At this point, the man in white sneered and said:
"Brother Ye has come at a good time. If it weren't for Zen Master Jin Yue and Master Lei Luo, two seniors who were ascended monks, becoming members of the Tianyuan City Elder Council and being able to influence the decisions of the Elder Council to a certain extent, the situation of the ascended monks would be much worse than it is now!"
"But even so, Tianyuan City's treatment of local cultivators and ascended cultivators is still unfair. Brother Ye, you must be careful when you go there!"
Ye Changsheng's expression calmed down after listening to the words of the man in white. He knew all these things before he came up.
"What do you mean by saying this, Brother Xu?" Ye Changsheng asked calmly, his eyes flashing.
Seeing that Ye Changsheng didn't want to beat around the bush, the head of the Xu family got straight to the point:
"In order to survive better, the ascended monks in Tianyuan City often stick together for warmth. Xu happens to know of such a small circle of ascended monks, and I can recommend Fellow Daoist Ye to join. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ye is willing to join?"
"It seems that the small circle he was talking about is the group of ascended monks who are on good terms with their Xu family!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He secretly thought that the Xu family was quite capable, as they were able to organize a small circle among the cultivators in Tianyuan City. If these people all had a good relationship with the Xu family, it would mean that the Xu family directly controlled a very powerful foreign aid.
At this time, Xu Ye on the side also laughed and said, "Brother Ye, it is definitely worthwhile to join this circle. The leader of this circle is the disciple of Master Lei Luo!"
"A lot of information and resources that cannot be obtained through official channels on weekdays can be exchanged here. Joining this kind of circle has many more advantages than disadvantages!"
Listening to their words, Ye Changsheng had a faint smile on his face, looking noncommittal, and did not express his opinion for the time being.
Seeing him like this, the two brothers of the Xu family couldn't help but secretly sigh that these ascended monks were indeed of outstanding character and each of them was very shrewd.
However, the more Ye Changsheng did this, the more the two Xu brothers felt it was valuable to make friends with him.
After a moment, Ye Changsheng slowly asked: "Have Senior Brother Xiang and the others joined this group? "
The man in white immediately said, "They also hesitated like Brother Ye, but in the end they all joined in!"
"In that case, I might as well join in!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile on his face.
The two brothers of the Xu family were delighted when they heard this. The man in white immediately said, "Brother Ye definitely made a wise choice!"
"Brother Ye, please take this token. When you arrive in Tianyuan City, you can use it to find a Tianwei senior named Zhao Wugui. He will bring you into the circle of ascended monks!"
The man in white said this and handed over a light blue token.
"Tianwei!" Ye Changsheng took the token and murmured in his heart.
At this time, Xu Ye on the side was heard saying: "Tianwei is a relatively senior position in the Tianyuan City Guard, usually only Lianxu monks can take up this position!"
"The guards of Tianyuan City are mainly composed of three types of members. The lowest level is the Black Iron Guards, which are usually Yuanying cultivators!"
"The ones above are the Qingming Guards. Only the Divine Transformation cultivators can hold this position. Of course, not every Divine Transformation cultivator can join Tianyuan City as a Qingming Guard!"
“In the three realms and seven lands, there are actually quite a few gods who want to join Tianyuan City, but many of them cannot pass the assessment because their combat power is not strong enough!”
Xu Ye said, looking at Ye Changsheng, and said with a smile: "Of course, with Brother Ye's strength, you don't have to worry about this assessment. As long as you ascended monks go to Tianyuan City, you will automatically join the Qingming Guard!"
"Above the Qingming Guards are the Heavenly Guards I just mentioned. There are not many Heavenly Guards in the entire Tianyuan City. This Lord Zhao Wugui is a famous one among them!"
"Zhao Wugui? Judging from the original novel, this person is not bad!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He weighed the token a few times and then put it away.
For him, joining the circle of ascended monks was an insignificant thing.
But there are always some benefits to joining in, at least you will be much more informed.
In many cases, getting important information in time can save lives.
So, after considering these, Ye Changsheng did not refuse to join this small circle.
Next, the man in white introduced Ye Changsheng to the circle of ascended monks in Tianyuan City.
This so-called circle of ascended monks is not limited to first-generation ascended monks like Ye Changsheng.
The descendants of those ascended monks are also among them.
There are many descendants of ascended monks gathered in Tianyuan City, because the offspring born by the ascended monks still have a strong aura of other worlds.
After these people break through to the Nascent Soul stage, they must go to Tianyuan City to serve as soon as possible and use the Dust-Mieting Pill to wash away the aura .
This alien aura will continue for five generations before it completely disappears.
Naturally, these people from the Xu family no longer have the aura of other worlds, but because their ancestors were ascended monks, they still maintain close ties with the circle of ascended monks.
"When do you plan to set off, fellow Daoist?" asked the head of the Xu family at the end of their conversation.
"Do it as soon as possible. We don't know when the first heavenly tribulation will come!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, don't worry about the heavenly tribulation. You cultivators who have just ascended still have a buffer period!" said the man in white, laughing.
"Daoyou Xiang and his friends stayed in our Xu family for a few days and learned about the situation in the spirit world before leaving!"
"Brother Ye, why don't you stay for a few more days and read some books about the spiritual world before leaving?" said the head of the Xu family with a smile.
Ye Changsheng hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Okay, I'll bother you then!"
The head of the Xu family immediately said, "You are too polite, fellow Taoist!"
So, Ye Changsheng stayed in the Xu family for three days. During these three days, he read a large number of Xu family books, most of which were introductions to various common sense about the spiritual world.
These things gave him a more detailed understanding of the spiritual world and the human and demon races.
Three days later, when Ye Changsheng was about to leave, the head of the Xu family suddenly stopped him and said, "Brother Ye, wait a moment. I have something to ask of you!"
"Please speak, Patriarch Xu!" Ye Changsheng calmly raised his guard and said indifferently.
"This is a private matter that has nothing to do with our Xu family and only concerns me!"
"It's like this. During the two days when Brother Ye arrived, my daughter just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and came out of seclusion. According to the predetermined plan, she will go to Tianyuan City to train for a period of time. I would like to ask Brother Ye to help take care of her!" The head of the Xu family suddenly said this.
"With the help that the Xu family has given to me, it will naturally not be a problem for me to take care of your lady a little!" Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng immediately agreed.
"Haha, Brother Ye, you misunderstood. What I meant by taking care of my daughter is actually to let her join your team!"
"Brother Ye, as a member of the Qingming Guard, can command ten Black Iron Guards. Can a little girl be added to the list of ten people?" the man in white asked with a smile.
"Oh? Could it be that fellow Daoist can influence the allocation of quotas for the Black Iron Guards?" Ye Changsheng asked with narrowed eyes.
“Haha, which Black Iron Guards are assigned to which Blue Sky Guards, these things are decided by the Heavenly Guards. It just so happens that Lord Zhao Wugui, whom I know, has this power, so…” Patriarch Xu stopped there and said with a smile.
However, what he proposed still surprised Ye Changsheng. He frowned slightly and said:
"Fellow Daoist has said before that we, the first generation of ascended monks, are carrying out tasks with a relatively high degree of danger in Tianyuan City!"
"Aren't you afraid that your lady will encounter danger after you arrange for her to come in?"
After hearing this, Patriarch Xu sighed and his face darkened. He said helplessly:
"Brother Ye, you don't know that although our Xu family has been based in the spiritual world for nearly ten thousand years, the aura belonging to the other world has long disappeared!"
“But in the eyes of some monks, we, the descendants of ascended monks, are still not considered native monks. Therefore, when assigning us tasks in Tianyuan City, they still tend to assign us some more dangerous tasks!”
“Therefore, even if I don’t join Brother Ye’s team, my daughter will still be in danger. Instead of this, it is better to arrange her under Brother Ye’s command!” The head of the Xu family said with a gloomy face.
At this time, Xu Ye, who was standing aside, also echoed: "Brother Ye, think about it, the Qingming Guards command ten Black Iron Guards. When the elders assign dangerous tasks to you Qingming Guards, are the Black Iron Guards also taking risks?"
“Among the ascended monks, there are only the Spiritualization Stage and no Nascent Soul Stage. So the Nascent Soul monks commanded by these ascended monks can only be selected from the descendants of the ascended monks!”
"Anyway, the native monks of the Spirit World are not very willing to join the team of these ascended monks, because the risk is really too great. Whenever they encounter danger, the first to die are usually these Nascent Soul monks!"
"So, even if my eldest brother didn't ask you, Brother Ye , my niece would still be arranged to be under the command of other ascended monks!"
Ye Changsheng showed a thoughtful look on his face: "If that's the case, why not arrange for the lady to serve under a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization, but instead find someone like me who is in the early stage of the Spiritualization?"
"Brother Ye, you don't know this. A cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm is more willing to accept subordinates in the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul Realm. How could they be willing to accept someone like my daughter who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"
“Moreover, the ascended cultivators in the late stage of Spirit Transformation have a higher proportion of taking on dangerous missions, so Xu found Brother Ye!” said the head of the Xu family.
After hearing the two people's explanation, Ye Changsheng's doubts gradually dispelled.
If this is the case, then it is understandable that the head of the Xu family wants to force his daughter to serve under him.
After all, the head of the Xu family has already done him a favor and has established a good relationship with him, so it would naturally be more appropriate to send his daughter to work under someone he is more familiar with.
"In that case, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse. I will take care of you to the best of my ability!" Ye Changsheng agreed with a smile on his face.
"But!" Then, he changed the subject and said, "Let me be frank. If something extremely dangerous really happens while you are on a mission and your daughter gets into trouble, then it's not Ye's fault!"
"Of course. If something like that really happens, then it's just my daughter's bad luck!" The head of the Xu family said immediately.
"Okay, then please ask Brother Xu to invite the lady out!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Xu family laughed and immediately sent out a sound transmission note, which turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the mountains in the distance.
"This time, you are going to Tianyuan City with my daughter. If I can lead the way, it should save you a lot of unnecessary trouble!"
"That's great!" Ye Changsheng nodded and said.
After a while, a streak of light appeared on the horizon from afar, passing through the sea of clouds.
The light faded away, and a young woman stood in front of the three people.
This woman was very young, probably in her twenties, but her face was as white as jade, almost transparent, and her eyes sparkled like stars.
This pair of eyes is extremely unique. Ye Changsheng was deeply impressed at first sight and immediately felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
After a brief recollection, he found the source of this familiar feeling.
Ice Soul Fairy!
When the restriction on Xu Ling Palace was opened in Xiaoji Palace, the phantom of Fairy Bingpo appeared on Xu Ling Palace.
Although the body and appearance of the phantom could not be seen clearly, the pair of bright and star-like eyes were very impressive.
"Greetings, father and third uncle!" After the girl appeared, she immediately bowed to the Xu brothers.
"Qianyu, this is Fellow Daoist Ye Changsheng. After you arrive in Tianxing City, you will serve as a Black Iron Guard under him!" The head of the Xu family introduced Ye Changsheng to his daughter.
"Meet Senior Ye!"
The woman named Xu Qianyu immediately bowed to Ye Changsheng.
"You're welcome, Fairy Qianyu. I see that the martial arts you practice seem to have a familiar aura!" Ye Changsheng's eyes flashed and he said slowly.
"Oh? It seems that Fellow Daoist Ye has come into contact with the descendants left behind by ancestor Bingpo in the human world. Qianyu is one of the few people in the clan who can directly practice the ancestor's skills, so she has some similarities with the ancestor!" said the head of the Xu family.
"It seems that Senior Brother Xiang and the others are very tight-lipped and have not told the people from the Xu family about the matters of Xiaoji Palace!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
After these few days of contact, he found that the people in the Xu family knew very little about the Xiaoji Palace in the human world, and had no idea that he was the controller of the Xiaoji Palace when he was in the human world.
This should be because Xiang Zhili and the others did not mention this matter.
Ye Changsheng also kept his mouth shut and did not say anything about this matter, nor did he reveal the Qianlan Bingyan and Xutian Ding.
Because he didn't know how the Xu family would react if these were exposed.
If you can avoid unnecessary complications, it is better to avoid them.
