Stepping into the back garden, the wintersweet was in full bloom, and the entire tree was covered in flowers. The flowers were white with a tinge of yellow and green, and the petals were glossy and transparent as if they were carved from amber or jade. They looked clean and pure.
However, at this moment, the supreme elder Yu Jinglei, who was second to none in terms of seniority and strength in the Heng Shan faction, suddenly widened his eyes.
Ever since he had stepped into the Xiantian realm for nearly two hundred years, the number of times he had almost lost his composure after hearing a sentence from a junior could be counted with one's fingers.
His eyebrows twitched, but he calmed down in an instant. He asked, "He Yiming has entered the Innate Stage?"
"Yes." The Medicine Man replied proudly, "He Yiming is extraordinarily talented, and he's blessed by nature in martial arts cultivation. His talent is unmatched by others, and …" He paused, then a complicated smile appeared on his face. "He Yiming is only 17 years old this year."
If it was said that at the beginning when he heard that He Yiming was a Xiantian master, Yu Jinglei could still hold back his surprise. But at this moment, he really could no longer conceal his surprise.
"17 … Are you sure?"
The Medicine Man nodded solemnly. He knew that he could not joke about this. "Senior Uncle, Wu De would never lie to me."
He did not tell Yu Jinglei about how He Yiming cultivated the Withered Tree Art at a shocking speed, nor about the fact that He Yiming's current strength was not inferior to the Medicine Man's 100 years of hard work. At this critical moment, the Medicine Man kept an eye out for Spiritual Medicine Peak's future.
Yu Jinglei's eyes flickered with a strange light. After a brief moment, he asked in a deep voice, "Is his grandson a disciple from another sect?"
"No," the Medicine Man confirmed. "Wu De said that what He Yiming is practicing is just a copy of the acquired secret manuals he took with him when he left the sect," Medicine Man said with certainty. "That's all."
Yu Jinglei was startled. "He brought a copy of the skills with him when he was expelled from the sect?"
The Medicine Man looked embarrassed. He coughed dryly and said, "Well, perhaps I forgot to check it."
Yu Jinglei looked at him meaningfully. "Did He Yiming bring his grandson to Mount Heng because he wanted to join Mount Heng?"
The Medicine Man nodded repeatedly and said, "Uncle-Master's foresight is miraculous. Wu De painstakingly nurtured me into a Xiantian master so that I could join our Hengshan branch to make up for my past failures in alchemy." He heaved a long sigh and said, "Wu De is extremely loyal to Hengshan. It was indeed too much to expel him from the sect back then."
Yu Jinglei glared at him and said, "That's enough, you don't have to say anything about your thoughts. "Since Wu De was able to cultivate a Innate Stage Elder for Mount Heng, his past mistakes will be written off."
The Medicine Man chuckled. "Senior Uncle, when Wu De left the sect, he took the glaive from the armory with him in order to cultivate He Yiming. Now, it's passed to He Yiming and has become his weapon. It's clear that he has great foresight. "
Yu Jinglei was both amused and annoyed. "What great foresight? So when He Yiming was expelled from the sect, not only did you give him a copy of the sect's skills, you even went to the armory to choose a weapon for him …" He thought for a moment and said, "I remember now. He Yiming was born with great strength. That glaive that no one uses is very suitable for him."
The Medicine Man smiled but said nothing. He was one of the three elders of Mount Heng. Even if He Wude hadn't brought a XianTian realm elder to Mount Heng, he wouldn't have been punished in any way because of his status as one of the three elders of Mount Heng.
Yu Jinglei suddenly let out a long laugh and said, "Good, Yao Elder, you have done well. If you had not given these Houtian secret manuals and the glaive to He Wude, then he would not have been able to cultivate a Xiantian disciple. Even if he did cultivate a Innate Stage Disciple, he wouldn't have been able to return to the sect. " He sighed with emotion. "This time, Mount Heng was able to obtain a Innate Stage Elder to join us when we were in a shortage of Innate Stage Elders. It's all thanks to you."
The corner of the Medicine Man's mouth curled into a faint smile. He knew that since the Grand Elder had said this, He Yiming's position as an elder was already set in stone.
In fact, any sect that encountered such a situation wouldn't have rejected it unless all the Elders in the sect had turned into idiots. The Medicine Man was just too concerned.
He bowed slightly. "Thank you for your praise, Martial Uncle. I was just lucky."
Yu Jinglei rubbed his hands together and suddenly asked, "How did he cultivate to Innate Stage Cultivator at seventeen?"
The Medicine Man smiled wryly. "I don't know either, but Yiming once said that Elder He didn't take any golden pills."
Although he said he didn't know, he thought to himself, 'You wouldn't be surprised if you saw how fast he cultivated the Withering Wood Art with your own eyes. However, if you saw it with your own eyes, I'm afraid that the next Peak Lord of Spirit Medicine Peak will be out of the picture. '
Yu Jinglei murmured to himself, "He didn't take any golden pills and reached Innate Stage Cultivator at such a young age …"
The Medicine Man nodded in agreement. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and experienced the power of He Yiming's Goldwater Art, he wouldn't have believed it.
He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Martial Uncle, when Elder He was on his way to Heng Mountain this time, he encountered a mutated Two-headed Connate Spirit Beast. He killed it and retrieved 2 of its Connate Spirit Cores."
Yu Jinglei's eyes were filled with surprise and joy. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
A few elders and some disciples of Mount Heng who were at the tenth stage of inner force went down the mountain to search for Innate Stage Spirit Beasts, but they didn't find anything after more than ten years. However, this young genius elder who had just arrived at Hengshan Mountain was able to encounter an Innate Spiritual Beast along the way. What was even more precious was that this Spiritual Beast was a mutated two-headed species with two Innate Inner Cores. This made him feel pleasantly surprised, but at the same time, he also felt a faint sense of jealousy and disappointment.
After a while, he sighed deeply and said, "How does Elder He plan to deal with the two Innate Neidan Stage Spirit Beasts?"
"Elder He has already handed the Neidan to He Wude, but Wude gave the Neidan to me." The Medicine Man raised his head and said, "Martial Uncle, I've already agreed that if the two Neidan Stage Spirit Beasts can be successfully refined into Innate Golden Pills, I'll give them to Elder He. Then, I'll give one of them back to Elder He. "
Yu Jinglei nodded silently and said, "That's right. If we can really obtain two Innate Golden Pills, we'll give one to him no matter what."
Although the supplementary herbs for refining Golden Pills were also very precious, they were nothing compared to the Innate Neidan Stage Spirit Beasts. If two Innate Neidan Stage Spirit Beasts were refined at the same time and both were given to the sect, then any disciple who was lucky enough to obtain one in the future would not give it to the sect.
What's more, the one who sent the Golden Core this time was the Xiantian Elder He Yiming, who had just joined the Sect. If he offended this young Elder who had a limitless future and caused him to have second thoughts, then the loss would outweigh the gain.
The Medicine Man finally showed a satisfied smile and said, "Thank you for your permission, Martial Uncle. Now, I can answer to Elder He."
Yu Jinglei nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "Medicine Man, does Elder He Yiming live on Spiritual Medicine Peak?"
"Yes." The Medicine Man said with a smile, "Martial Uncle, Elder He has a special interest in the art of alchemy. I've already given him the Fire Technique and Withered Tree Technique, and I'm willing to transfer the position of Spiritual Medicine Peak Master to him."
Yu Jinglei was stunned, then he snorted unhappily and said, "Medicine Man, let's talk about this later."
The Medicine Man sighed in his heart, but he dared not disobey his Martial Uncle, so he could only respond respectfully. However, he was still worried. If the Supreme Elder saw He Yiming's strength and cultivation speed, the chances of He Yiming inheriting Spiritual Medicine Peak would be even slimmer.
Yu Jinglei pondered for a moment, then asked, "What cultivation technique did He Yiming cultivate?"
"Elder He originally cultivated the Metal and Water Dual Engendering Cultivation Method."
"The Metal and Water Techniques?" Yu Jinglei asked in disbelief, "If he cultivated the Metal and Water Techniques, why did you teach him the Wood and Fire Techniques?"
The Medicine Man chuckled and said, "Martial Uncle, not only does Elder He have the Metal and Water Techniques, but he also has the even more outstanding Fire and Wood Techniques. I can guarantee that as long as he cultivates these two techniques, his achievements in the future will definitely surpass the Fire and Water Techniques."
Yu Jinglei's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Elder He actually cultivates four of the basic five elements at the same time?" His figure swayed slightly, and he instantly disappeared from the courtyard, leaving only his voice echoing from afar, "I'll make a trip to Spiritual Medicine Peak …"
The Medicine Man shook his head and sighed without saying a word. After knowing He Yiming's cultivation talent, the Supreme Elder was really moved. Otherwise, he would not have disregarded his status and lowered himself to meet He Yiming at Spiritual Medicine Peak.
This was a great thing for the entire Hengshan Sect, but it might not be the same for Spiritual Medicine Peak. The Medicine Man's extremely young face showed a hint of worry. He sighed helplessly and also headed in the direction of Spiritual Medicine Peak.

He Yiming exhaled deeply and stored the newly absorbed essential Qi in his body into his dantian.
As He Yiming's essential Qi continued to improve, his inner vision also continued to improve. At this moment, he was using the Wood Attribute's Innate Withered Wood Technique. When the external power was transmitted into his body through the tree's meridians, he could only sense a patch of green.
This green energy slowly transformed into Xiantian True Qi and gathered towards his Dantian.
Nevertheless, the power that came from nature, which represented life, turned into chaos as soon as it entered his dantian.
When he focused his attention on his Dantian, all he could "see" and "feel" was darkness.
There was no color in his dantian. It was like a bottomless black hole that could accommodate all the energy and power in the world.
He knew that due to the fact that he cultivated many different techniques, the external power that he absorbed was also very heterogeneous. However, no matter what kind of energy entered his dantian, it would be transformed into a part of this chaos, and there would be no difference anymore.
Although He Yiming did not know what the dantian of other people was like, he was confident that no one else could have such a miraculous effect.
When he finished absorbing all the energy from the tree, He Yiming hesitated for a moment, then immediately used the Water Attribute's Ripple Technique. With him as the center, the air around him seemed to ripple mysteriously. This was the special feature of the Ripple Technique. After he comprehended the Way of Wind, Cloud, Rain, and Mist, the power that the Ripple Technique could unleash was not inferior to any other technique.
Suddenly, He Yiming's expression changed slightly, and his two ears quickly and strangely trembled in a small area. Although the trembling was not very big, it made him feel as if a huge wave had been set off in his heart.
When he first used the Innate Withered Wood Technique to absorb external energy, he focused all his energy on it, so he did not notice the Medicine Man's presence. However, after he stopped cultivating, he subconsciously used his clairaudient ability, and he instantly noticed something terrifying.
From afar, a person was approaching him at high speed. He only heard a little sound in the wind, but he could tell that the person was not much slower than him when he went all out.
Ever since He Yiming grasped the power of wind, he was very confident in his speed. However, he dared not say that he could definitely be faster than that person at this moment.
He opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. The True Qi in his body boiled up once again. However, this time, he wasn't trying to test out the Cultivation Method. Instead, he was fully focused and waiting.
He fixed his gaze in a certain direction, and after a brief moment, he saw a black figure appearing in front of him like a specter.
Yu Jinglei looked at He Yiming in surprise. As soon as he arrived at Spiritual Medicine Peak, he immediately sensed the abnormality in the herb garden, so he immediately rushed over cautiously. He originally planned to observe He Yiming secretly, but he did not expect the air in the herb garden to be filled with a powerful aura the moment he discovered him. It was obvious that He Yiming had discovered his tracks, which was why he was being cautious.
His brows suddenly furrowed slightly. How could a Xiantian master of the Hundred Scatter Heaven discover a powerhouse of the One-Line-Sky? Could it be that He Yiming practiced some strange secret technique?
After a few ups and downs, Yu Jinglei had already arrived at the herb garden. When he saw He Yiming with his own eyes and sensed the young man's powerful aura, he was shocked.
How could such a powerful aura be comparable to a master who had just entered the Xiantian Realm?
With just a glance, Yu Jinglei could immediately tell that He Yiming's true cultivation was definitely not inferior to the Three Great Elders of Hengshan.
He Yiming took a deep breath. When this person suddenly appeared, he relaxed a little. This was because he did not sense any malice from this person.
However, he discovered that this person's aura was extremely calm. If it were not for the fact that Yu Jinglei's clairaudience could hear the sound in the wind, he would not have been able to detect this person's arrival.
This degree of unity between man and nature was something that Yu Jinglei had never felt even from Shui Xuanjin. In front of this person, for the first time, Yu Jinglei felt oppressed.
With a thought, Yu Jinglei asked in a deep voice, "Are you one of the Three Great Elders of Hengshan?"
Yu Jinglei smiled and answered, "I'm Yu Jinglei, the Supreme Elder of Hengshan."
He Yiming's heart trembled, and his eyes narrowed. Then, he immediately calmed down and bowed deeply, "He Yiming greets the Supreme Elder."
Yu Jinglei laughed and waved his hand, "You're Wude's grandson, He Yiming, right?"
"Yes, my ancestor is He Wude."
Yu Jinglei's gaze seemed to materialize as he sized up He Yiming. After a long time, he asked loudly, "He Yiming, are you willing to join my Hengshan faction?" When he said this, his eyes could not help but be somewhat solemn.
He Yiming also said solemnly, "I'm willing."
"Good, good, good …"
Yu Jinglei's eyes faintly lit up, and he said the word 'good' three times in a row. Before meeting He Yiming, he already had extremely high expectations. But after meeting him in person, this Supreme Elder of Hengshan faction realized that he had seriously underestimated this person.
When the faction was lacking in manpower, such an outstanding Xiantian Master suddenly fell from the sky. How could he not be excited?
"Elder He, since you're willing to join my Hengshan faction, then from now on, you're one of the Elders of our faction." He casually drew a circle with his hand and said with a smile, "Within a hundred miles of the main peak of Hengshan, you can choose any peak you want to live on. Of course, if you trust I, then listen to a few words from I. "
"Please guide me," He Yiming said respectfully.
Yu Jinglei nodded slightly and said, "When us Xiantian Elders cultivate, we pay attention to the unity of man and nature. Only by living in a paradise that is most suitable for our cultivation will we be able to achieve the best cultivation results, and even have the possibility of entering an epiphany. So, when choosing a place to live for a long time, you must be careful. "
He Yiming was very curious. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Supreme Elder, how should I choose?"
Yu Jinglei smiled and said, "The wind is high, the water is deep, the fire is hot, and the ice is cold."
He Yiming's eyes flashed with understanding. It seemed that the choice of a place to live had a lot to do with one's cultivation method.
Yu Jinglei suddenly put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "Yiming, use all your strength and attack me." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
