There must be something wrong with me-Chapter 668 - 251: Immortal! (Part 2)

...

Unbeknownst to him, several days had passed.

The day of the Profound Cloud Sect's recruitment arrived.

Clip-clop—

Several carriages that looked like a merchant convoy came driving from outside the city.

Sitting inside the carriages were several people dressed as merchants.

They were all cultivators from the Profound Cloud Sect.

As the carriages stopped at the city gates.

Several cultivators silently got off, accepting the inspection by the city guards like ordinary people.

Everything here was as usual.

The people and travelers in the back continued to line up, while teahouses and vendors on both sides in the distance continued to shout.

Travelers and sons and daughters from rich families resting at the stalls occasionally glanced at the long queue entering the city without noticing anything amiss.

Meanwhile. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

After surveying the surroundings, the cultivators nodded silently and communicated via spiritual sense.

'A few days ago, I had disciples come to inquire, and there were already forty-seven sects in the city.

For our sect's recruitment news not to leak is indeed difficult.'

'Indeed, indeed...'

After a few exchanges, they felt this was a good start.

Then they turned their gaze to the leading elder, also the leader this time, Steward Zhao.

He was an old friend of Zhang Feng and now had one foot into the Golden Core stage.

Even though his close friend's inner conflict was unresolved, his own comprehension and aptitude were not low.

With further insights into other mystical methods, he could endure or bypass challenges.

Much like Zhang Feng's cultivation, which progressed in leaps.

And in Zhang Feng's view, as long as the ultimate goal is correct, the path is essentially the same, only divided into 'easy to walk' and 'hard to walk'.

For now, Steward Zhao was taking the hard route.

Including this recruitment, which was originally not his matter.

But he wanted to personally verify the city's news to see if this 'Master Zhang Feng' was his friend.

This matter remained his inner conflict.

'Steward Zhao, leave the recruitment to us.'

At this moment, several cultivators passed a message to Steward Zhao, allowing him to focus on gathering information.

While they didn't believe an ordinary elder could unbelievably become a True Man, they wouldn't say that in front of Steward Zhao.

And they had some knowledge about Zhang Feng being an ordinary elder a decade ago.

Because Steward Zhao had once sent wandering disciples to look for him, and over time, everyone helped each other during their travels, and naturally, the news spread.

And they did not mock the matter, saying things like 'Can an old man become a True Man? Are you joking?' or similar.

Such words were unnecessary.

After all, it was clearly impossible.

'Thank you all.' Steward Zhao did not say much; he was focused entirely on searching now.

However, he didn't know.

Just a mile away, there were two Golden Core experts from the Profound Cloud Sect secretly protecting him.

Steward Zhao had extraordinary aptitude, essentially a future elder with a chance to be a sect leader candidate.

Such an identity, of course, needed protection.

'Nephew Zhao's heart knot is hard to untie...'

'Alas, only he can comprehend it himself...'

Just observing while following.

The two Golden Core experts felt somewhat helpless.

Worldly affairs are just like this.

If you understand, you find peace.

If you don't, the more you try to let go, the more troubled you become.

The two Golden Cores were experienced and knew that saying something a thousand times couldn't compare to personal insight.

Meanwhile, not far from them, on the ground.

A tiny ant was observing them back and forth.

The two Golden Cores were unaware, still following Steward Zhao into the city, observing his erratic movements within the city.

Steward Zhao, having come from a small town and spent his life in the sect, was suddenly in this bustling big city.

Honestly, he was a bit bewildered, not knowing where to start searching.

In this state of not knowing where to begin.

Steward Zhao deliberated for a long time, planning to visit other sects' stationed places to start gathering information there.

At this moment.

In a small courtyard.

Zhang Feng, through a tiny ant, saw his old friend arrive, yet he felt no emotional excitement.

Toward the feelings of the 'former self'.

Zhang Feng always let go with ease, as those were not his own experiences.

More like watching a movie.

Additionally, with nearly a thousand years of memory in his lifespan, the original memories had long been diluted.

Otherwise, if he had truly possessed this world's Zhang Feng from the beginning.

The eighty-plus years of memories would have certainly confounded him.

Even the earliest cultivators, appearing in their twenties, actually had protective mechanisms with the text.

It completely depends on needing a specific memory to recall it, not flooding in all at once.

And at this moment.

Zhang Feng, to test if he still had humanity, decided to activate his memories concerning Steward Zhao.

In an instant, with the aid of his primordial spirit, some hidden memories deep within his spiritual thought were unearthed.

They were fragmented.

Most complete memories were automatically cleared by the brain's original protection mechanism to avoid 'memory overload'.

But just these fragmented memories.

Zhang Feng suddenly felt a surge of excitement and questioning toward meeting his old friend.

The excitement was that, after decades, two elders would finally reunite.

The questioning was due to the resentment he felt before he almost died of old age toward this old friend.

Clearly, the old friend had entered the path of cultivation, so why hadn't he come to find him to give him a Lifespan Extension Pill?

These two emotions intertwined.

Making Zhang Feng realize that he harbored more grievances.

However, Zhang Feng had already investigated the Profound Cloud Sect and, at this moment, observed his old friend.
