Saying goodbye to the mountains and rivers, the two embarked on the return journey by high-speed train.

After sitting down on the seat, Ye Xiaoyao looked sideways at her friend, who was closing her eyes to rest: "Speaking of which, it turned out to be exposed."

Chi Shuangshuang didn't open her eyes and said, "Actually, you can easily guess the truth by just checking our check-in records."

Then she sneered, opened her eyes, and turned to look directly at Ye Xiaoyao: "I admit that your boss is a good talker and has a good appearance, but in private..."

"What happened in private?" Ye Xiaoyao asked curiously.

"I smelled this year's latest women's perfume on him." Her eyes were filled with mockery.

Ye Xiaoyao's smile froze, she lowered her head and said nothing, lost in thought.

It was already around four o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to Jianning's home.

Ye Xiaoyao ordered takeout and started playing the game.

As soon as he went online, Gaoshan Liushui sent a private message: "Did the trip go well?"

Ye Xiaoyao looked at this message with mixed emotions.

She thought about it for a long time along the way, and finally came to the undeniable fact that she already had a crush on this person.

But there was nothing wrong with her nose, so how could she not smell the scent of women's perfume?

Chi Shuangshuang pointed out the fact that she was most afraid to admit.

She couldn't face herself like this.

Ye Xiaoyao patted her cheek hard to clear her mind. After hesitating for a long time, she wrote: "The trip went well."

Not long after, the reply came from the other side: "Demolish the demon battlefield?"

Along with the reply came an invitation from Gao Shan Liu Shui to form a team.

Ye Xiaoyao refused without thinking and replied: "I prioritize the upgrading of life skills."

"Can I make a level 40 suit?"

"Well, we have an idea."

"Then go ahead and wait for your good news."

"OK."

After closing the dialog box, Ye Xiaoyao sighed for her escape. After renting a radium flower hand at Feiyu Station, she headed to the Grand Elder's Mansion.

As expected, she was stopped at the door of the house and asked to show her token.

Ye Xiaoyao searched every corner of her backpack anxiously, and finally found something that could barely be regarded as a token, which was the token that Shang Yongning had given her to allow her to freely enter and leave Qingliang Island.

The guard came in with the token and passed the news. Not long after, a nun came to lead the way and led her to the inner courtyard.

The Grand Elder's Mansion covers a large area, and the building is luxurious and gorgeous. From time to time, you can see the blue barrier opening up in the courtyard, like a large fish tank, in which rare sea beasts are raised, or rare undersea spiritual plants are placed. Corridors

The floor tiles are made of fine jasper stone, flowing with light as warm as water. The corridor pillars are carved with complicated patterns. Every once in a while on the top of the corridor, there is a sea-blue spiritual stone, emitting a mist of spiritual mist, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

The entire Grand Elder's Mansion felt like it was in a fairyland.

After walking for about twenty minutes, grandma stopped in front of the courtyard door and made a "please" gesture. Ye Xiaoyao looked up and saw four small seal words "Plum Blossom Appreciation Xiaozhu" engraved on the door.

Then I knew that this must be the residence of my master.

Sure enough, it was covered with snow and filled with plum blossoms, either red or white, blooming freely in this capital and season that did not belong to them.

Chi Wanhui stood quietly among the flowers. She was dressed in red and looked more beautiful than the flowers.

The beautiful woman turned around and smiled, filling the room with light.

But when Ye Xiaoyao looked at that smile, she felt that it was malicious.

"My dear disciple, you are here."

Chi Wanhui straightened her hair on her temples and led Ye Xiaoyao into the warm house with a smile.

She carefully took the tea brewed by her master. The jade-green teacup was worth a lot at first sight. She couldn't help but restrain herself a little and her movements became more graceful.

Taking a sip, the tea is sweet in the mouth and penetrates into the lungs. It is actually a fruit tea.

It’s still the passion-mango flavor that she loves.

"Jian Tong likes to drink green tea. As for me, I just like to drink some fruit tea. I researched this in my spare time. How does it taste?" Chi Wanhui introduced with a smile.

Ye Xiaoyao gave a thumbs up: "It tastes good."

Hearing her reply, Chi Wanhui chuckled, and then her expression straightened. Ye Xiaoyao knew that the main course had begun.

"You haven't slacked off in your recent practice, and I'm very satisfied that you finally entered the palace. Next, I will teach you the refining method of Ruyi Purple Thread."

As she spoke, she took out three gourds, namely white, green, and red, and placed them on the table one by one. She explained: "The Ruyi purple silk is not made from one kind of material. It is a mixed material. It is made from the cold Hantan water."

It can be reconciled with the hot magma with the gentle spiritual spring in the middle, and the meaning of yin and yang can be obtained, and the rotation of wishes can be achieved.

"These three gourds are for you to collect these three kinds of spiritual water. They contain the Haina Formation refined by the Shark Clan's Formation Master, which can roughly hold the water of two Emerald Cold Ponds.

"After you collect the spiritual water, use the Liangyi and the Combined Formation to adjust the proportions to get the Ruyi Purple Liquid, and then use the condensation water to condense them into Ruyi Purple Thread."

While speaking, Chi Wanhui waved her hand, and a system prompt sounded.

[System] Congratulations on learning the skill [Liangyi Hehe].

Ye Xiaoyao clicked on the life skills to check and found that there was an additional option of [Liangyi Harmony] in [Weaving Silk].

It seems that the fourth level skill is another big project. She has to move all the previous material coordinates aside.

The spiritual spring was okay, but the resource collection points on Emerald Island and Qingliang Island had not yet given birth to new spiritual springs and could not be collected, so her plan to make money had to be put on hold again.

Seeing Ye Xiaoyao's frown, Chi Wanhui asked: "What happened to the spirit-gathering objects I asked you to collect?"

Ye Xiaoyao shook her head and said regretfully: "I didn't find any new ones later."

Chi Wanhui sighed: "It's really hard to find something that gathers souls. Please pay more attention to it when you practice in the future."

After saying that, he raised his hand and placed four red beads on the table.

"What is this?" Ye Xiaoyao asked.

Chi Wanhui smiled and replied: "These are the remains of the flame-eyed starfish that you collected before. I refined them into spirit-gathering beads and only got four, which is barely enough."

Ye Xiaoyao picked up one and played with it in her hand. She could feel the red bead emitting bursts of suction, attracting the surrounding spiritual energy to her body.

She stared and read the information about the Spirit Gathering Pearl, and the content she got made her ecstatic.

【Spirit Gathering Pearl】(Gold Level)

Level:40

Introduction: Items that can speed up the gathering of spiritual power are twice as effective in fire-attributed spiritual lands.

"What is this?" She looked at her master with burning eyes.

"Placing this bead in a special formation can speed up the gathering of spiritual power, and help several spiritual places condense the spiritual energy needed to make shark squid faster." Chi Wanhui confirmed Ye Xiaoyao's guess.

"That's great, thank you, Master." Ye Xiaoyao jumped up excitedly and rushed to Chi Wanhui, preparing for a loving hug.

But the beauty master was already prepared, raised his hand to block her, and pushed her away with a look of disgust: "Go back and sit down, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Ye Xiaoyao had no choice but to return to her seat angrily, sitting upright with a cute look on her face.

"I have another task for you." Chi Wanhui said with a serious face.

"Master, please tell me."

"I want you to join the senior ranks of the Shark Clan's army."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoyao burst into tears: "Master, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

Chi Wanhui seemed to know that this request was difficult, but she was not going to let go: "As a teacher, I won't embarrass you. Just set a small goal and become a centurion in ten days."

Then there was only a "ding" sound, and the task had appeared in the task bar. Ye Xiaoyao was about to cry, but there was no room for rejection at all.

[Upgrade military rank 1] Contribute to the battlefield to eliminate demons, increase your reputation, exchange reputation for military rank, and become a brave centurion. The shorter the time, the more rewards you can get.

It's still a racing mission.

It seems that the trip to the demon-killing battlefield is imperative.

Ye Xiaoyao expressed heartbrokenly that she could no longer paddle.

The military positions on the demon-killing battlefield are divided into commanders, centurions, commanders of thousands, commanders, generals, and marshals. The highest commander position of the Qingyuan Army is called the Grand Marshal, which is a position that is established during war.

The current general marshal of the Shark tribe is Tianji elder Zhu Daiming.

This is a nine-foot-tall fierce man with extremely good military and strategic skills. He led the Qingyuan Kingdom's troops to resist dozens of demonic group attacks, firmly blocking them from the endless Feilang defense line.

To become a centurion, she needs 100,000 reputation points. In addition, she also has to make equipment to make money. In total, she has very little time to build reputation.

Moreover, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, her parents have urged her several times, and she has not yet decided whether to go back.

However, at this point, she had no choice but to bite the bullet. At worst, she would achieve her goal later and get less rewards.

Sure enough, Master is merciless every time he gives me a task.

Sighing, Ye Xiaoyao asked the last question.
