Enlightenment!

"The eyes of the world are all on Luojing, so they won't care about how chaotic Yongzhou is.

"The Demon Extermination Order will make the immortal cultivators and spirit energy practitioners fear the power of the human race. They won't dare to do anything reckless. 

"Su Ming, you have to set your sights on the future. You have to make plans for the next 100 years.

"I won't be able to live for another 100 years."

Every word Dongfang Jing uttered made Su Ming widen his eyes.

He never thought that the Demon Extermination Order could solve so many things.

It was not that he did not want to consider it, but he cared about the people of Yongzhou. Others did not.

"You want to help the people of Yongzhou?" Dongfang Jing looked at Su Ming. "I can get His Majesty to make arrangements. If Yongzhou rebels, you will follow the Martial King's army to Yongzhou to suppress the rebels."

"The Martial King?" Su Ming was stunned.

The Martial King who had been guarding the border for 20 years?

"Hehe, His Majesty has been the emperor for so many years. Do you think he's that foolish?

"He's not bad at laying out plans for 100 years…"

Shaking his head, Dongfang Jing walked into a small residence with white walls and black tiles with his hands behind his back.

"Right, Mengmeng took my identity token and went through the books in my study. I don't know where she is now. Find her.

"She was your student in Yongzhou. 

"Speaking of which, your habits as a teacher aren't good enough. Although I told you to teach everyone without discrimination, I didn't ask you to teach demons…"

Su Ming stopped listening to Dongfang Jing's nagging. He turned around and left.

Dongfang Jing sat in front of a desk in a small room and narrowed his eyes. Intense spirit light flashed in his eyes.

"Three hundred years ago, among the banished immortal cultivators, there was one cultivator who was tasked with a mission from the cultivation world. After completing the mission, he returned to the cultivation world. It's said that he claimed to be a guardian elder."

"Is this person in Jing Yang Temple the guardian elder?"

"I don't have much time left to live."

"I'd like to a look at the cultivation world as well…"

...

"So, the great grandmaster, Dongfang Jing, asked you to find me so that I can help you," Zhang Li said softly. He was looking at a handsome youth in front of him who was wearing a green and white scholar's robe.

The young man held a jade tablet in his hand, which had the identity inscription of Minister Dongfang Jing.

The young man had entered Jing Yang Temple with this jade tablet and made his way to Zhang Li's courtyard.

Even Wang Qingyang dared not stop someone with this identity token.

However, this young man named Yu Meng had a faint demonic aura around him, and his face also had the gentleness of a woman.

Zhang Li was very curious about her identity.

A great grandmaster should be able to tell who was a demon, right?

Yu Meng had said with certainty that he was a guardian disciple from the cultivation world and that he had the ability to suppress water-type creatures in the Luo River.

Where did this girl get all this information from?

He wanted to ask her if she was part of Yu Honggu's clan, but he was afraid that he would scare the girl.

"Mr. Zhang, the disciples who guard the palace all have profound cultivations. My aunt... ahem, the minister of state said that you can capture the demons in the Luo River and send them to the Demon Subduing Pavilion."

Yu Mengmeng was wearing men's clothes and holding the jade tablet in her hand tightly.

This was her only chance to enter the Demon Subduing Pavilion.

"You want me to catch demons?" Zhang Li almost laughed out loud.

'You little demon, you want me to catch demons?'

Looking at Yu Meng, he suddenly had a thought.

Could this little fellow really be from Yu Honggu's clan?

Was she trying to save Yu Honggu?

She had no idea that with her cultivation, it was impossible to save Yu Honggu.

To be honest, Zhang Li himself did not know how to save anyone from the Demon Subduing Pavilion.

Was he supposed to tear down the Demon Subduing Pavilion?

"Mr. Zhang, look, the last time, it took an attack from three great grandmasters.

"If you capture the demon alone this time, not only will you get the reward, but everyone in the world will know your name."

Yu Mengmeng raised her head, her face filled with admiration.

"Mr. Zhang, didn't you come to the mortal world to do something big?"

Do something big?

This little demon in front of him was quite interesting.

He just did not know if she was the demon in the Luo River.

The demon or demons in the Luo River had killed several guardian disciples and caused many tragedies.

Was this little demon putting on an act to lure him to the Luo River?

However, she had the identity token of the great grandmaster, Minister Dongfang Jing.

Zhang Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not want to get involved in the messy affairs of the mortal world, but that did not mean he would allow others to scheme against him.

If the little demon before him meant him harm and Minister Dongfang Jing was behind it, he would not mind taking action.

His immortal cultivation was at Level 5 of the Spirit Refinement Realm, while his body-tempering technique had reached Level 3 of of the Spirit Refinement Realm. As for his martial arts, he was in the Spirit Condensation Realm. He was also familiar with all kinds of Dao protection methods.

He had many storage bags filled with various treasures to protect himself.

Zhang Li was just too lazy to make a move, but that did not mean he could not.

"Mr. Zhang, it's like this. You've come to the mortal world, but you're not making a name for yourself. You're not even sailing across the seven seas to explore the world. What's the point of hiding in Jing Yang Temple?"

"My teacher told me that cultivation also cultivates the heart, and it's very similar to sightseeing. You should stop and smell the roses sometimes. If you miss the things that are around you and only focus on cultivation, what kind of cultivation will it be?" Seeing that Zhang Li seemed to be moved, Yu Mengmeng whispered.

Cultivation of the heart...

Cultivation was like sightseeing...

Zhang Li felt the True Essence in his meridians churn and enter his center.

He had gotten an epiphany!

This was a wonderful cultivation insight.

Zhang Li did not worry about resources and thought that his cultivation should be step-by-step and steady. However, he did not think that a single sentence of comprehension could increase his cultivation.

Who would have thought that happiness would come so suddenly?

Zhang Li attached great importance to cultivation.

After transmigrating, he naturally had to cultivate properly.

Although he had suppressed himself and been cautious about using his golden finger on Misty Cloud Mountain, he never dared to neglect his cultivation.

After being in the mortal world for so long, he could freely use his spirit stones, pills, and other resources to cultivate. He did not slack at all.

Stepping into Level 5 of the Spirit Refinement Realm had made him slightly happy, but he never remained complacent.

He knew that his path of cultivation had just begun.

However, Yu Meng's words had stirred up his dormant True Essence.

True Essence needed to be slowly honed and raised. But right now, they surged, flowed and vibrated in his meridians.

Many of his meridians that had not been touched by the True essence began to accept it.

This was the prerequisite for improving one's cultivation!

As long as he opened up his meridians, he could infuse them with spirit energy and transform them into True Essence.

To Zhang Li, what he did not lack the most was spirit energy.

Sensing the changes in his body, Zhang Li looked at the expectant Yu Mengmeng.

"Who is your teacher?"

"Mr. Zhang, I am his teacher." A voice came from outside the courtyard.

With a solemn expression, Su Ming stood outside the gate and bowed before Zhang Li with his hands clasped in front of his chest.

Yu Mengmeng trembled and shrank to the side.

Zhang Li waved his hand and signaled the disciple on duty to let Su Ming in.

Su Ming walked into the small courtyard and bowed before Zhang Li once again. "Mr. Zhang, this disciple of mine is insensible. I would like to offer my apologies," he said.

After that, he turned his head and looked at Yu Mengmeng. "Give me your identity token."

Yu Mengmeng retracted her hand and finally handed him the jade tablet.

"Mr. Zhang, the minister didn't give him this tablet. Anything he says—"

Before Su Ming could finish speaking, Zhang Li's voice rang out. "Do you know what he told me?"

Su Ming was stunned.

He did not know.

However, he guessed that Yu Mengmeng must have asked Zhang Li to release the demon in the Demon Subduing Pavilion.

Yu Mengmeng had always wanted to come to Jing Yang Temple, but he never had the time to bring her there.

Hence, she stole the identity token and went there herself.

Zhang Li's gaze landed on the identity token.

How could Yu Meng steal the minister's identity token?

Dongfang Jing was doing this on purpose.

Was Dongfang Jing testing him, or was he testing Jing Yang Temple?

There was no supreme elder in Jing Yang Temple at the moment, so what was Dongfang Jing thinking about?

"He invited me to the Luo River to catch demons," Zhang Li said softly.
