A voice came from far away, Lu Ye felt cold and looked for the source of the sound.
In the distance, there is a birch forest. On the top of a birch tree, there is an old man with white hair and white beard standing.
This old man couldn't tell how old he was, but with his appearance, anyone could tell that he was already over 70 years old.
The black-armored stone insect that was in front of him just now was in the hands of the old man. It was just the black-armored stone insect that looked like a strong man just a moment ago. But now it was in the old man's hands and it didn't even dare to move.
"senior."
Lu Ye knew that the dazzling cold light and breeze just now were naturally caused by the old man, but seeing that he was not wearing the green shirt of the Qingyang Sect, Lu Ye felt confused and bowed in salute.
"Boy, you're not bad."
After Lu Ye finished his salute, the old man suddenly said these words with a smile. Under the wrinkles on his face, the old man's eyes could not even be seen.
But before he finished speaking, before Lu Ye could react, Lu Ye suddenly felt another gust of breeze blowing by, and the old man appeared directly in front of Lu Ye.
His eyes were filled with purple light. After experiencing such things twice, Lu Ye could see clearly the second time.
One breath ago, it was on top of the birch tree a hundred meters away, and the next breath, it appeared in front of him.
The distance of a hundred meters, plus the fact that Lu Ye had been investigating for a long time but could not detect the existence of the old man at first. In fact, in this old man, Lu Ye could not feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power, but he could not feel the fluctuation of spiritual power.
Lu Ye still felt that the old man in front of him was several times stronger than Feng Yang, the strongest man he had ever seen.
There is a world of difference between myself and the old man in front of me.
It's just that Lu Ye is a little depressed, why in the eyes of a strong man, what he says to him is "you are good"!
When resisting the Blood Knife Gang, Feng Yang, whose strength was comparable to that of the Danwu Realm, said that he was good when he met him. But now, when the white-haired old man in front of him saw him, he said that he was good again.
Lu Ye knew that the old man had no hostility towards him, so he relaxed and smiled slightly.
"Are you a disciple of Qingyang Sect?" The old man glanced at Lu Ye and asked softly while still holding the quiet Black Armored Stone Insect in his right hand.
"Exactly, I am Lu Ye, an outer disciple of the Qingyang Sect. I don't know, senior..." Lu Ye bowed again and responded quickly.
The old man chuckled, "I didn't expect that my strength has grown so much in the past few years, and that an outer disciple can be so smart and know how to use fire to attack black armored stone insects."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Lu Zhi trembled from the bottom of his heart.
Although the old man's words were quite satisfactory, Lu Ye still felt that the old man had a hint of ridicule towards the Qingyang Sect.
To be able to walk in the Qingyang Sect's territory so upright and speak so rudely, Lu Ye was about to break out in a cold sweat.
At this time, Lu Ye only expected that the old man had come to the sect to seek revenge.
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Lu Ye quietly. Lu Ye didn't know how to answer the old man, so he could only remain motionless and let the old man look at him.
On the contrary, the black-armored stone insect in the old man's hand seemed to be held by the old man, and he was much less afraid of the old man. As soon as his body moved, he would jump down and run away. This black-armored stone insect is not stupid. It had been with his before.
Like his companions, he was attracted by the scent of insects on the jade tablet and wanted to eat the jade tablet. But in the end he was trapped by the fire ball.
The incense on the jade tablet is only attractive to monsters and insects in the body-forging stage. After escaping, the Black Armored Stone Insect has strangely gained the strength of the Pulse Condensation Realm and is no longer interested in the incense.
In his eyes, there was only one Lu Ye. It was Lu Ye who trapped him and almost died!
Originally, the black-armored stone insect was about to pounce on Lu Ye and gradually devour him bit by bit, but he did not expect that a suction force suddenly appeared in the air, which directly dragged him. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in the hands of the old man.
The Black Armored Stone Insect's cultivation was one level higher than Lu Ye's, and the dangerous aura he felt in the old man's body was much stronger than Lu Ye's. He became sluggish for a while, not daring to move at all. But now, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
While the old man was talking to Lu Ye, he secretly escaped and fled here.
The old man seemed to have noticed it a long time ago. He smiled again and just made a hook with his right hand. No spiritual fluctuations appeared. The black-armored stone insect that was about to land was once again dragged back to his hand by an invisible force.
But when the old man did this action, Lu Ye frowned slightly.
Because when the old man's right hand made a hook in the air, Lu Ye suddenly felt a force flowing out from his fingers, directly absorbing the black armor stone insect. And with the help of the purple pupil, Lu Ye could clearly see that it was a
Lilac brilliance.
This brilliance was not dazzling, but once it appeared, Lu Zhi's heart suddenly moved, as if he was attracted by this brilliance!
"Huh?" The old man was looking at Lu Ye, and seemed to notice the change in Lu Ye's eyes. The old man sighed again, "I didn't expect that a person who has not yet entered the Pulse Condensation Realm can actually feel the existence of soul power.
.”
Lu Ye was startled again. He naturally knew the meaning of soul power. His green light short blade was forged by Ye Tiannan. And Ye Tiannan was the famous soul guide of Qingyang Sect.
As a soul guide, the natural soul power is different from ordinary people. The soul power can even condense the void into reality and forge weapons and elixirs. The soul power that ordinary people refer to is the soul power that the old man refers to.
Lu Ye smiled coquettishly and said nothing. Now Lu Ye understood that the old man had been ambiguous in his words, and there was no need to say anything. He could only judge in his heart, and just wait for the old man to leave, and then continue to detour.
Head to Cangling Peak.
"Boy, what did you say your name was?" the old man asked again.
Lu Ye had no choice but to bow and salute again, "Senior, I am Lu Ye, an outer disciple of the Qingyang Sect."
"Oh oh oh!" The old man laughed heartily, wiping his white beard, "Did you feel a force rushing out from my fingers just now? That's why this red-armored stone insect returned to my hand again."
"Exactly." Lu Ye paused, "It's just that this junior has something unclear."
The old man's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "But it doesn't matter."
"Although I have just entered the sect and become an outer disciple, I know a lot about the monsters in the Qingyang Mountains. This insect beast is called the Black-armored Stone Insect. Why did my predecessors call it the Red-armored Stone Insect."
The old man was stunned when he heard what Lu Ye said. What Lu Ye was looking at before was the middle finger of his right hand that released his soul power.
At a young age and with low cultivation, he could feel the existence of soul power, which made the old man somewhat happy. So when Lu Ye asked him sometimes, the old man thought that Lu Ye wanted to ask about soul power.
, but I didn’t expect that the person I was asking about was this black-armored stone insect.
The old man coughed a few times and felt that he had made a mistake. He was not angry and showed a rather profound smile.
The old man pointed to the red shell of the black-armored stone insect, "You can see it. The outer shell of the black-armored stone insect is completely black. But the outer shell of this red-armored stone insect is red."
"The Qingyang Mountains are where the Qingyang Sect is located. Although the red-armored stone insects are not too strong, they are still a great threat to many disciples of the Qingyang Sect who are weak in cultivation."
Speaking of this, the old man glanced at Lu Ye unconsciously, which made Lu Ye look a little embarrassed.
Lu Ye naturally knew that the old man's weak cultivation was referring to warriors like himself who had not yet advanced to the Pulse Condensation Realm.
The old man then continued, "Therefore, there are very few red-armored stoneworms in the Qingyang Mountains. Even in the entire Skyfire Territory, these red-armored stoneworms are rare."
"The red-armored stone insect is born with the cultivation of the Pulse Condensation Realm. Therefore, for ordinary warriors, this red-armored stone insect is indeed a bit dangerous. And the current red-armored stone insect, strictly speaking, is not pure
Red-armored stone insect. You saw it just now. It was you who surrounded it with blazing fire. The black-armored stone insect was burnt to pieces, and the strong energy and wind even blew the incense of the insects on the jade plaque onto your companions. So.
The red-armored stoneworm, which had no mind, devoured many of its companions."
"And precisely because of this, this black-armored stone insect mutated and evolved in such a weird way, becoming a black-armored stone insect."
The old man spoke eloquently. Although Lu Ye was a little dissatisfied with what he said before about his weak cultivation, he was able to explain in such detail to a mere outside disciple like himself without putting on airs. Lu Ye also treated the old man a little better.
Respect.
After the old man finished speaking, Lu Ye bowed again.
But when the old man saw Lu Ye like this, he smiled in approval and nodded.
"Do you know why I said you were good just now?" the old man said inexplicably.
Lu Ye shook his head, but smiled bitterly in his heart.
"At a young age, you are only at the ninth level of body training, but you are still calm when faced with so many black armored stone insects, and you can even deal with fire attacks. Your current ability is at the bottom even in Qingyang Sect. But.
You are smart enough, and as long as you work hard, you will definitely be stronger than Ye Tiannan, the number one soul guide of the Qingyang Sect!"
The old man said categorically, and when he spoke about Ye Tiannan, he was even more serious and serious, looking like he was seeking truth from facts.
Lu Ye, on the other hand, was a little happy when the old man said the first half of the sentence. But when the old man said about Ye Tiannan, Lu Ye smiled bitterly again.
Who is Ye Tiannan? Ye Tiannan is a famous person in Qingyang Sect, and is even one of the few powerful soul guides in the entire Skyfire Domain. Although this old man has used soul power before and looks like a soul guide, he is still so old-fashioned.
I look down upon Ye Tiannan very arrogantly.
What's more, it's okay that Lu Ye has never met Ye Tiannan. At the Ningwu slave hunting farm, Lu Ye met Ye Tiannan with his own eyes, and even had brief contact with Ye Tiannan.
His green light short blade was a gift from senior Ye Tiannan, and Ye Tiannan also had a good impression on Lu Ye. Lu Ye respected Ye Tiannan from the bottom of his heart. The old man was actually kind. Before he could finish a serious sentence, he started to criticize Ye Tiannan.
coming.
Seeing that Lu Ye had no reaction, as if he felt that he had spoken such authoritative words, Lu Ye sneered a little. The old man was anxious, "What, you don't believe it?"
Lu Yeyou smiled bitterly to himself, "Senior Ye Tiannan is a first-class expert in our Qingyang Sect. I am just a small outer disciple. The old man's words really shocked me."
After hearing what Lu Ye said, the old man was startled, silent for a long time, and then laughed.
"That's all. I have been looking for this red-armored stone insect for a long time, but unexpectedly I got the red-armored stone insect by you unintentionally. You have done me a small favor. It is fate that you and I meet each other. And you
You can also sense the existence of soul power, which shows that you may become a soul guide."
As he spoke, the old man flashed between his fingers, and a Xuanling Ring was revealed. Then, a jade slip suddenly appeared in the old man's hand.
The old man threw it away casually, and threw the jade slip directly towards Lu Ye, "This is a soul guide's secret method. It will be of great help to you if you read it more often. As an outer disciple, you also know. If it is true,
If you can become a soul guide, then it will not be difficult to enter the inner sect."
Lu Ye borrowed the jade slip and quickly bowed to the old man again.
Although the old man's words were a bit inappropriate, Lu Ye was sincerely grateful to the old man for gifting him a Soul Guider Secret Technique when they met for the first time.
Because Lu Ye knew very well that when Lu Ye was a lowly slave in the Qingyang Sect, the disciple he served was like this. That disciple was originally an outer disciple, but by chance he became a soul guide.
Although he is only the most junior soul guide, his cultivation level in the outer sect is only average. But just because he became a soul guide, he directly skipped the sect selection, directly entered the inner sect, and became an inner sect disciple.
After just a few words of conversation, Lu Ye saluted the old man several times. Seeing Lu Ye like this, the old man nodded secretly.
"I still have things to deal with, so I have to leave now. You and I are destined to meet again someday, but next time we meet, I hope you really become a soul guide." The old man nodded and said with a smile.
Lu Ye was startled, and was about to thank the old man. But the old man seemed to have remembered something, and said again, "I think it's not easy for you in the outer sect. You were actually plotted to plant the scent of insects on your jade plaque.
.Although you are at the ninth level of physical training, this incense of insects only has an effect on monsters in the body forging stage. But I see that you have exerted your energy repeatedly before, so you must have some strength in your body. I will use the incense of insects on your jade tablet.
erase?"
Lu Ye looked at the old man and felt grateful again. But to the old man's surprise, Lu Ye did not agree, but shook his head.
