"He Yiming, I'd like to ask you for a favor," Venerable Xu said with a smile.
"Senior, please speak," He Yiming said seriously, "As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely do it for you."
Venerable Xu nodded slightly. At this moment, his attitude towards He Yiming was completely different from before, and there was no doubt that he was being kind.
"I wonder if there are any talented disciples in the Xu Castle who have the potential to reach the Innate Stage?"
He Yiming was slightly startled. After pondering for a while, he finally said, "Senior, as far as I know, there's no one in the Xu Castle who has reached the tenth level of inner strength with two interrelated elements."
His words were already a tactful answer to Venerable Xu's question, but it was not so direct that it would make the other party angry.
Venerable Xu laughed and said, "It's easier said than done to have two interrelated elements. It's basically impossible to find such a talent in a family."
He Yiming felt the same way. Although the Hengshan Sect had more than one disciple with two interrelated elements, how could a sect and a family be compared to each other?
After pondering for a while, He Yiming said, "Senior, the fourth master of the Xu Family, Xu Xiangqian, isn't even 50 years old this year, but he's already cultivated the ninth level of the fire element technique. If he takes a few Golden Energy Pills and stays in a place with abundant Qi of Heaven and Earth for two years, he should be able to reach the peak of the tenth level of inner strength."
He Yiming stopped at this point. His words were very clear. If Xu Xiangqian wanted to reach the Innate Stage, he would need a Golden Energy Pill, but he could not provide such a precious thing.
Venerable Xu smiled and said, "Nephew, please take a seat for a while. I will be back soon."
He turned around in a carefree manner. Sure enough, he returned to the hall a moment later. There was an additional jade bottle in his hand.
Just from its appearance, this jade bottle was not an ordinary item, and He Yiming could vaguely guess what was inside.
Sure enough, Venerable Xu brought the jade bottle to He Yiming and said, "There are two fire elemental Innate Gold Pellets inside. Take a look and see if there are any mistakes."
He Yiming's eyes lit up. "Since Senior is the one who took it out, it can't be wrong."
Venerable Xu was increasingly satisfied. He nodded gently and said, "You should have guessed what I want to ask of you."
He Yiming said respectfully, "Xu Xiangqian, the Fourth Master of the Xu Clan's Fort is extremely talented. It is only right for him to advance to the Innate Stage."
Venerable Xu faintly smiled. However, he immediately let out a long sigh and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"
He Yiming hesitated for a while. He could not figure out the relationship between this person and the Xu Clan's Fort. However, since the person had given the order, he had to do it properly no matter what.
"I understand. Elder Yu from Mount Heng went to Taicang County and accidentally met Xu Xiangqian. He praised Xu Xiangqian's talent and made an exception to take him in as his disciple to help him advance to the Innate Stage."
Venerable Xu nodded and said, "I Xu Zili. If you're willing, you can call I Uncle."
He Yiming was overjoyed. How could he hesitate? He quickly stood up and went to Venerable Xu. He bowed deeply and said, "Nephew greets Uncle."
Xu Zili laughed out loud and personally helped him up. There was an undisguised look of admiration in his eyes.
However, He Yiming could vaguely feel that the reason why the old man treated him like this was because he had saved the Xu family from destruction. That was why Venerable Xu was so affectionate to him, even with a hint of gratitude.
"This is the first time we've met, so I've prepared a gift for you. I hope you don't mind it." Xu Zili put a small package on the table and said with a smile.
He Yiming quickly said, "Uncle is too polite. I really don't deserve it."
Shaking his head, Xu Zili said, "I heard that you have a 20-year agreement with the Totem Clan?"
"Yes." He Yiming's face also became serious. He said, "I have a 20-year agreement with the Wolf and Snake Clans. After 20 years, I will go to the mountains and settle my grudges with them."
"Good. You're indeed I's nephew. You're really heroic." Xu Zili praised and said, "After 20 years, I will accompany you."
He Yiming suddenly raised his head. There was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
It was impossible for the old man to not know the strength of the Totem Clan. His promise was truly a huge favor that was difficult to repay.
"Uncle, this is my own matter …"
Xu Zili waved his hand and said, "Since you've called I your uncle, then your matter is I's matter. Besides, I's trip this time is not to help you. " A proud smile appeared on his face. He said, "Saint Feng Lang of the Wolf Totem Clan had some conflicts with I in the past, so I want to see if this old man has made any breakthroughs in the past few decades."
He Yiming opened his mouth and finally bowed deeply again.
If the previous bow was only a gesture of selfishness, then this bow was completely sincere. At the same time, He Yiming's opinion of the old man in front of him had changed greatly. He even no longer treated him as an outsider.
Accompanying him deep into the Totem Clan was no joke. Even with Ai Wenbin's relationship with the Hengshan bloodline, and even Li Mingxuan's respect for Yuan Lixun, she had not expressed anything like this. It was evident from this.
The two of them chatted for a while more before He Yiming bid farewell and left.
Not long after He Yiming left, a person walked out from the back of the courtyard. It was He Min, Venerable Xu's close friend.
"Venerable Xu, are you really going to accompany him to the Totem Clan deep in the mountains?"
Xu Zili smiled and said, "I's promise is not empty words."
He Min frowned and said, "In the deep mountains, there are as many experts as there are clouds. If there was only one Saint Feng Lang, it would be fine, but if there were a few experts of the same level, even you would be in danger."
Xu Zili's gaze was indifferent, as if he did not care about these dangers at all.
"Venerable He, there are some favors that should be repaid with one's life."
He Min snorted angrily and said, "Didn't you already swear that you will no longer be a member of the Xu Clan in this life? Even if you watch it collapse, it has nothing to do with you."
Xu Zili's gaze gazed into the distance, as if passing through the clouds in front of him, passing through the infinite space and returning to the time and space in his memory.
After a long while, he murmured, "Young and frivolous … Fallen leaves return to their roots …"
He Min wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he sighed deeply and said, "Fine, if you want to die, I will accompany you."
Xu Zili was slightly startled and said, "Venerable He …"
He Min's face was in high spirits, and his body was full of heroic spirit. "I don't believe that if you and I join forces, plus that little guy 20 years later, we can't retreat from the deep mountains unscathed."
Venerable Xu finally showed the same smile. The two Venerables laughed at the same time, and their laughter was full of a kind of unscrupulous taste. It was as if at this moment, they had both returned to the time when they were young and full of passion.
Their laughter spread far and wide, and some people on the Cloud Peak of the main branch of Mount Heng were full of doubts.
Could it be that these two old guys had gone crazy together …

He Yiming returned to the courtyard, and his heart was full of emotions. He did not expect to receive such a heavy promise today. This was really a pleasant surprise.
After thinking for a moment, He Yiming first went to find Yu Jinglei, took out the two Primordial Golden Elixirs, and told him about Venerable Xu's request.
With Yu Jinglei's deep foresight, he immediately understood how to deal with it. Looking at the two fire-type Primordial Golden Elixirs in the bottle, his old face was full of smiles.
If Xu Xiangqian had succeeded in breaking through to the Primordial level with only one Golden Elixir, then the other one naturally belonged to the Mount Heng branch.
Such a good thing could not be found anywhere else.
"Elder Yu, when will we return to Mount Heng? Do you still want to keep those core disciples in the main branch? "
Yu Jinglei pondered for a moment and said, "Elder He, since you and Xiong Wuji have made that bet, Mount Heng will be safe for at least 20 years. Therefore, this old man has decided to bring everyone back. After all, it doesn't feel good to live under someone else's roof. "
He Yiming naturally agreed with his choice. After discussing for a while, the two decided to set off in three days. However, most of the disciples would follow Yu Xichen back to Mount Heng first, while the two of them and the Medicine Man would take a detour to Taicang County.
Of course, apart from the two of them, the other elders of Mount Heng could not know that they had taken Xu Xiangqian as their disciple. If this matter was leaked, who knew if Venerable Xu Zili would vent his anger on others?
After the discussion, He Yiming returned to his courtyard. However, before he could sit down, another disciple of Mount Heng reported that Jin Zhanjiang had come to visit.
He Yiming felt a headache coming on.
After He Min's persuasion, He Yiming had decided to avoid Jin Zhanjiang for the time being. He would only fight him after he had condensed the Gold Flower and formed a tripartite balance of forces. However, he did not expect that this guy would come to visit him personally.
After sighing to himself, He Yiming still invited him into the hall.
After a while, Jin Zhanjiang came to the hall and the two of them sat down. He Yiming did not ask for the purpose of his visit, but He Yiming went straight to the point. "Brother He, now that the Heavenly Lake Tournament is over, what are your plans?"
He Yiming was surprised. Could it be that he was not here to challenge him?
He pondered for a while and said, "I plan to return home, then travel the world and strive to succeed in the Summit Assembly within 20 years."
Jin Zhanjiang said cheerfully, "Brother He, Senior Brother Zhang and Elder Yu from your sect have discussed and decided to send the formula for the Ageless Pill to the Grand Spirit Palace. Once we get the formula, we'll refine the pill in the Grand Spirit Palace. Brother He, if you plan to travel the world, why don't you come with me to the Grand Spirit Palace first? If you succeed in refining the pill, you can decide on your next move after you get the Ageless Pill. What do you think? "
He Yiming was moved. Although he was unwilling to travel far because of the elders in his family, he finally made up his mind when he thought of the 20-year promise.
"Since Brother Jin has invited me, I dare not disobey."
Jin Zhanjiang's eyes lit up and he looked satisfied. He immediately bid farewell and left.
After He Yiming inexplicably sent Jin Zhanjiang away, he suddenly realized that if he were to travel with them, then wouldn't he have a lot of opportunities to "spar" with him openly?
He smiled bitterly. It seemed that this guy was not an honest person. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, support the author, support the original reading!)
