After walking out of the shop, Ye Bai turned around and walked towards the front yard. A moment later, a majestic and broad square appeared in front of him. The ground was entirely made of bronze, and various birds and monsters were carved on it, all of them lifelike.
Unclearly, a railing made entirely of white marble surrounded the entire square, and you couldn't see the side at a glance. Under the railing, pedestrians passed by in a hurry, but no one dared to step onto the square, as if there was
Are there any general taboos?
In the center of this huge white marble square, stands a solitary ancient pavilion, with eaves spread like bird wings, with a total of five floors. Standing below and looking at it, you can only feel a thick and ancient atmosphere. No matter who is standing
Everyone in this building can't help but feel a trembling from the soul. It feels like a big mountain is pressing on the top of the head. All the disciples passing there take a detour, showing envy, yearning, and reverence, but they are absolutely
No one dares to offend.
This is the Xuanwu Pavilion of the Ye family. The Xuanqi cultivation techniques that the Ye family has collected for hundreds of years and countless powerful mystical techniques are all placed in it. These Xuanqi techniques are the foundation for the Ye family to establish a foothold in Huoyun City.
, every year, Xuanwu Pavilion is only open for three days, and is closed the rest of the time. It is said that there are ninety-nine and eighty-one prohibitions around the entire Xuanwu Pavilion. Anyone who sets foot on that square privately will immediately trigger the ban and die.
No burial place!
There is the center of the Ye family. Even the head of the Ye family cannot enter it privately without the consent of the Elders Council. This shows that the rules of Xuanwu Pavilion are strict. At the same time, there are also members of the Ye family there, from the first generation of the family head to the next.
It is a place where ordinary disciples like Ye Bai of the Outer Sect are most eager to enter.
Three months later, the exchange ceremony of the Ye family will be held there. All the disciples of the Ye family, as long as the family has enough contribution points, can enter it and exchange their accumulated contribution points for a mysterious formula.
Skills.
That time of year is when the Ye family is the busiest and most excited, and Ye Bai has been waiting for this day for three years!
Just to have a chance to enter it one day!
He lay down and stood there, looking up at this century-old ancient pavilion. Ye Bai's heart was full of mixed feelings. For a moment, he didn't know what it was like. His fingers subconsciously touched the inscription card in his arms. For a long time,
Ye Bai suddenly turned his head, dragged heavy steps, and left here step by step.
Going far around the solemn and majestic outer courtyard of the Ye family in front, passing through a dark and old alley, he finally came to a row of low and dilapidated houses. Ye Bai opened one of the wooden doors and walked in. It was completely dark outside.
Get down and light the oil lamp.
The house was extremely shabby, with nothing but a wooden bed and a wooden table. Ye Bai closed the door and walked to the bed. After thinking about it, he suddenly bent down and lifted up a corner of the bed. There, there was a fishy secret.
Ge, Ye Bai stretched out his hand and took out a piece of wood. His eyes fell on a small black bag below, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
He reached out to pick up the small black bag and opened it. Inside, there were three pieces of strange ore that were exactly the same as those he had given to Mr. Ye just now. The color was red, with a hint of purple in the middle. There seemed to be faint mercury flowing in the middle. The cold air overflowed. It was the strange cold light.
iron.
What Ye Bai didn't tell the old man was that what he got was not actually one piece of cold light iron, but four pieces. However, he didn't know what it was beforehand, so he took one piece to Mr. Ye just for the sake of it.
After hearing from Ye Lao that these iron pieces, which didn't seem to be anything special, turned out to be the third-level ore Hanguang Qirie, he immediately made up his mind, unless it was absolutely necessary or he had enough strength to guarantee them.
Before it was safe, he would never let anyone know that he was still carrying three pieces of cold light and strange iron.
As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he who possesses a treasure is guilty. Ye Bai deeply understands this truth. Hanguang Qiqi Iron is an essential material that can be used to refine mid-level mysterious weapons. Even the entire Ye family does not have many such things.
See, if someone knew about it, he would be afraid of causing strange disasters. He was weak in strength and had no strong backer. If he was discovered, he could kill people and take advantage of them. It was possible to destroy corpses and destroy them. Ye Bai didn't have to do it because of his carelessness.
, but put his own life on the line.
Even if this thing is not used now, it may have other uses in the future. Maybe one day I will have my own mysterious weapon. At that time, if I incorporate this cold light iron into it, the power will be doubled.
The increase is really a rare treasure that even money cannot buy.
Moreover, what Ye Bai didn't tell the old man was that even if the Ye family sent 10,000 people to the Hanbing River to salvage it, no matter how much time they spent, it would only be a waste of effort, because these four pieces of cold light iron were actually not the ones he had ever used.
What he got from the Ice River was the third level forbidden land, the Ice Punishment Forest. Ye Bai knew very well how wealth moved people's hearts, so naturally he was not stupid enough to tell others the specific information. However, Ye Bai deceived Mr. Ye from himself.
But she still feels a little guilty. After all, the only one in the Ye family who can take better care of Ye Bai is Old Ye. However, for his own safety, Ye Bai will never leak this secret.
For Mr. Ye's guilt, I can only wait for the opportunity to make up for it in the future.
Thinking of this, Ye Bai stretched out his hand to wrap up the three pieces of cold light strange iron again, put them back into the secret compartment, put them on the wooden board, thought about it, and felt that it was not closed like this. Ye Bai felt cruel and reached out to take it out from the corner.
He took out a paint bucket and repainted the entire bed. Finally, from the appearance, there were absolutely no hidden compartments on this bed. Moreover, no one would have thought that a poor man like Ye Bai would
The disciple may also possess some precious treasure, so no one will come here to investigate.
Even in this alley, no one from the high-ranking Ye family was willing to come in. Ye Bai did this just in case. Living alone in the Ye family, he saw all kinds of deceit and cunning.
Generations, fights between disciples of various branches of the family, fights between elders, and even fights between the head of the family and the deputy head of the family. In these big families, things like bullying and concealment, and things that change the relationship between people, are happening every day. For fear of being cautious,
Ye Bai, who has been alone since childhood, has already learned how to protect himself.
After handling the small package, Ye Bai frowned. The pungent smell of paint in the room could not be eliminated for a while. After thinking about it, Ye Bai reached out and took out a small wooden bottle from his arms, pouring some as if
Something like pollen was sprinkled everywhere randomly. After a while, the smell in the whole room became smoother, and the pungent smell just now was no longer there.
These pollens, called macaroni flowers, were encountered by Ye Bai by chance and found that they had the effect of repelling odors, so he picked a lot and collected them in this wooden vial to hide his traces from those pollen.
The beast with a keen sense of smell discovered it, but did not expect that it would be used as an odor repellent in his house today, but he found another wonderful use.
After putting away the wooden bottle, Ye Bai saw that he couldn't sit on the bed for the time being. Fortunately, he was practicing and didn't need to sleep at all. He pulled out a futon from under the bed and sat on it cross-legged. His expression suddenly became serious.
He slowly reached out and took out the small cloth bag containing three Fantasy Heart Grasses that he had just received from Mr. Ye, and then slowly opened the ground in front of him, and suddenly three pale grasses appeared in front of him.
It is the first-level low-level spiritual grass Huanxincao.
Then, Ye Bai reached out and took out one of the plants, broke it off, took a quarter of it, and put it into his mouth. Then he closed his eyes suddenly and started walking so slowly!
He actually took the hallucinogenic poisonous herb Huanxincao, which ordinary people avoid, and used it to practice?
If this scene were discovered by ordinary people, they would be stunned immediately and not believe their eyes.
However, Ye Bai was unaware of all this. At this moment, his whole body had already entered an endless illusion. The hallucinogenic effect of the Fantasy Heart Grass could easily torture a high-level profound practitioner to death.
On his forehead, beads of sweat as big as soybeans fell drop by drop, soaking his clothes, but he seemed unaware, his face turned as red as fire jade, one moment passed, two moments passed, Ye Bai's face turned red
His condition was getting worse and worse, his body was shaking involuntarily, and his face showed countless expressions, some were happy, some angry, some sad and angry, or desperate, sometimes calm, sometimes intense... Obviously, Ye Baizheng in the fantasy world encountered the most terrible thing.
During the critical period, at this moment, time passed so long, every second seemed to be extended into a year. Fortunately, until now, Ye Bai has not suffered from collapse.
One hour has passed, two hours have passed, three hours have passed...
The oil lamp beside the bed had long been extinguished by the wind, and the sky outside gradually turned a fish-belly color.
Suddenly, there was a "whoop" sound, and Ye Bai, who was sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of light flashed through the dim room in the early morning, like a bone-piercing lightning.
Immediately, Ye Bai slowly calmed down, tidied himself up, and found that all his clothes were wet, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water.
With a trace of fear on his face, Ye Bai raised his head and looked at the first ray of dawn coming from the small window above his head. A feeling of exhaustion, as if he was about to survive a disaster, instantly filled his body and mind. Every time he took the Fantasy Heart Grass,
A test of life and death. Fortunately, he successfully passed through it again. By the way, his profound energy cultivation also took a small step forward again. He was only one step away from the peak of the eighth level of profound energy.
far away.
And every time he woke up from the illusion, the feeling of exhaustion, like rebirth, was so wonderful. It gave him a special understanding of life, life, and cultivation that no one else had.
.
"I really don't want to bear this kind of pain, but for the sake of strength, and in order not to be dragged down too much by others... I have to do this, I have no choice!"
"Fortunately, I made it through again!"
A smile appeared on his face, which actually caused his body to shake. Ye Bai looked up at the sky. No one knew that he had a unique secret of his own, a secret of his own!
In everyone's eyes, the Magical Heart Poisonous Grass, which can only be charming and hallucinating, can actually be used to assist in cultivation. Ever since I accidentally ate a Magical Heart Grass for the first time, and experienced many illusions, but finally survived with my tenacious vitality,
He unexpectedly found that his profound energy cultivation had increased by one point. Don't underestimate this point. Under normal circumstances, this would have taken him several days or even more than half a month of practice to achieve. And this discovery
It made him ecstatic for a time.
His talent was not outstanding, and he did not have the elixirs distributed directly by the Deacon Hall every month to the inner sect disciples to assist in their practice. How could Ye Bai, a disciple of the outer sect, be tightly attached to the most elite disciples of the inner sect in such a poor situation?
Under the circumstances, the reason for everything is because of his secret!
Huanxincao contains a kind of energy from heaven and earth that can assist people in their cultivation. When absorbed into the body, it can be automatically transformed into profound energy. However, ordinary people cannot feel this energy, and even those with weak willpower will not be able to feel it.
If you eat it by mistake, you will secrete hallucinations and die unexpectedly. Therefore, no one has ever paid too much attention to such a low-level common fantasy heart grass like Ye Bai. If it hadn't been for that accident, Ye Bai would have paid too much attention to it.
The secret will not be discovered.
The most important thing is that it also had a certain impact on Ye Bai's character cultivation.
Every time at the end, Ye Bai in the illusion would face a desperate situation, but Ye Bai knew that it was just the magic of the Fantasy Heart Grass, so he told himself that everything was an illusion, everything was an illusion, so every time he relied on
With this tenacious belief, he persisted. Time and time again, the experience of these illusions made Ye Bai's mental cultivation reach a height that an ordinary person could not look up to. Even when he encounters the enemy in reality, Ye Bai will also
Tell yourself that everything is an illusion and can be broken. As long as you don't give up, you will succeed in the next moment.
Because everything in the illusion changes randomly. One moment it is an iceberg, and the next moment it may be fire. Only by perseverance can we win.
Therefore, every time he encountered a crisis, he relied on this persistent belief to get all the way to the present.
The only regret is that you can only take one plant of this magical heart grass per week, otherwise Ye Bai will not be able to bear it. Ye Bai always divides it into four parts, one each on one, three, five, and seven or four days, otherwise
If so, Ye Bai's cultivation level may have already reached the peak of the Mysterious Master, but Ye Bai is already very satisfied with this. Going too far is not enough. Everything has its limits. Ye Bai deeply understands this truth, so he has always understood it better than others.
Moderate and know better how to resist the temptation in your own heart.
Because now, even if he only takes less than a quarter of the Fantasy Heart Grass every day, he can still torment Ye Bai until he wants to die. Every time, he will wander at the door of the God of Death several times. If it weren't for his willpower
Already very comparable to others, I'm afraid he would have died due to his own boldness a year ago.
Fortunately, he survived, and as he persisted in recent years, the pain that the Fantasy Heart Grass caused him became less and less, while the improvement in his strength became more and more obvious every time.
