Chapter 42: Underwater Ruins
What's more, that man also saved his daughter, and with this alone, he also has to help him block the Xue family's revenge!
Zong Yan's face was overjoyed, and he said, "Thank you, father!"
She ran away with a cheer, and the patriarch looked at her departing back and shook his head.
The sect mother walked to the side of the sect father and said softly, "What's wrong?"
Sect Father lit a cigarette, even if his cultivation had reached the peak of the Desolate Realm, he couldn't leave this thing.
He took a sharp puff and said in a deep voice, "It's not good news that Yan'er is interested in that guy. ”
When a woman becomes interested in a man, it means that she is most likely to fall in love with that man.
But according to what Zong Yan said before, that man was not interested in her at all. If Zong Yan can't keep his distance from that man, she will be the one who will be hurt in the end!
At this time, Ye Kong was eating the food sent by the maid.
He glanced at Sakura, who was wiping the blade of the knife beside him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he picked up a piece of cake and brought it to Sakura's mouth: "Ah." ”
Sakura's face was slightly red, and she opened her mouth writhingly.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Zong Yan broke in with a big grin, and at a glance he saw the cherry blossoms who were eaten by Ye Kong.
Before Sakura could bite down, she quickly turned her head, her face becoming more ruddy.
Ye Kong put down his fork in disdain, showed an embarrassed smile, looked at Zong Yan, and said, "Is there something wrong?"
"No, I just want to ask you if you are used to it. Zong Yan stood there a little confused, "I seem to have disturbed you?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Ye Kong hurriedly changed the topic, "Is your sect family in the pill business?"
As soon as he came in, he saw a lot of medicinal herbs piled up in the courtyard.
Zong Yan shook his head and said, "No, our own pills are not enough, how can we still sell them." ”
"What about those herbs......"
"Those medicinal materials were exchanged for pills with Wancai Company later. Zong Yan opened his mouth to explain, "The only force with an alchemist on the lake island is the branch of Wancai Company on the lake island, and there is a four-rank alchemist in charge. ”
It's so weak.
This was Ye Kong's first thought, he had already reached the second-grade alchemist, and if he didn't reach the third-grade, he just didn't have time to practice alchemy. His theoretical knowledge is completely comparable to that of a third-grade alchemist, and the rest is only practiced.
Even in Donghai City, which is considered backward in the empire, there is also the existence of a third-grade alchemist. And this lake island with Heavenly Dome Realm cultivators actually only has a fourth-grade alchemist.
He opened his mouth with some surprise and said, "Is there a shortage of alchemists here in the Endless Sea?"
Zong Yan nodded, and said a little helplessly: "After all, our side is not under the jurisdiction of the empire, and the development is naturally much slower. ”
Ye Kong thought for a moment and said, "Can you give me some medicinal herbs?" I will pay for it with pills." ”
The shortage of alchemists meant that the price of the same pill would be much higher on this side of the Endless Sea. Instead of spending a lot of expensive money to buy the pill, it is better to refine it yourself.
Ye Kong didn't need to pursue higher-quality pills, and the most suitable cultivation for the soul realm was the three-grade pill.
"You can refine the elixir?" Zong Yan exclaimed.
"It's a little bit better, there's still no problem in refining the second-grade pill. I haven't tried the Sanpindan. ”
Zong Yan's face was overjoyed, and he said, "Then what medicinal materials do you want?"
Unexpectedly, this time she actually brought back a second-grade alchemist!
Ye Kong picked up the pen and wrote it quickly, handed it to Zong Yan, and said, "That's all, just help me prepare ten copies, and the money will be settled with pills in the end." ”
Zong Yan quickly browsed it, what Ye Kong wrote were all common medicinal materials on the market, and they all had a lot of them.
She put away the paper and said, "I'll go and prepare." ”
Half an hour later, Zong Yan came with the medicinal materials Ye Kong needed, and Ye Kong took out the Dan Furnace from the Space Ring and began refining the Dan Medicine.
He glanced at Zong Yan, who was a little apprehensive beside him, and said, "Are you going to steal from school?"
"Ah, no. ”
Zong Yan's face became extremely red, she deliberately did not leave because she had this intention.
"I, I'll go. ”
She hurriedly walked out of the door, Ye Kong blinked his eyes and continued to refine the pill.
Ye Kong first took the second-grade pill to familiarize himself with the feel, and he used the spring rain to moisten things to refine the second-grade pill Blood Yuan Dan.
This is a relatively common elixir, which is used to replenish the power of qi and blood.
In the first furnace, Ye Kong made a slight mistake, and he showed a regretful gaze, looking at the six second-grade blood yuan pills in the Dan furnace.
Six pieces in one furnace is already considered excellent. The average second-grade alchemist basically looks like three or four pieces in one furnace. What's more, one by one.
But Ye Kong's limit is nine pieces in one furnace.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and continued to start alchemy.
He kept regaining his touch, and the pills beside him began to gradually increase.
After all the medicinal materials of the ten Blood Yuan Pills were consumed, Ye Kong refined a total of eighty-seven second-grade Blood Yuan Pills.
Except for the first furnace of six, the others are all nine in one furnace.
Ye Kong thought about it for a while, and took the twenty-seven second-grade blood yuan pills back into his spatial ring.
Nine pieces in one furnace are too terrifying, especially on the island of the lake, which is extremely short of alchemists.
Ye Kong then refined all the remaining medicinal materials of the second-grade pill, and also hid some of them, and then sat down in place to rest, recovering the spiritual power and soul consciousness he had consumed.
When his state returned to his peak, Ye Kong gently exhaled a breath of turbid air and began to challenge the refining of the Three Rank Pills.
He carefully put the medicinal herbs into the Dan furnace, and used the Spring Rain moisturizer with extreme caution to control the Dan fire.
Rumble!
The first furnace blew up without incident, and Ye Kong was not discouraged and continued to refine the elixir.
The second time, although there was no fryer, all the herbs were in the form of liquid medicine and were not formed at all.
Well, Danhuo should be a little milder.
Ye Kong once again alchemized, this time he was extremely careful to control the Danhuo, and his soul sense closely peeked at the medicinal liquid in the Dan furnace.
The liquid medicine began to take shape, and Ye Kong held his breath and concentrated, carefully gathering the liquid medicine and molding it.
This time, the liquid medicine was successfully turned into an elixir. Ye Kong's heart breathed a sigh of relief, he finally succeeded.
However, the level of one furnace and one pill is not enough, and a lot of medicinal power was wasted in the middle of the previous period, and you must improve your proficiency!
He continued to refine the elixir and immersed himself in it.
By the time Ye Kong came back to his senses, the sky had already become very dark.
With a tired look on his face, he opened the Dan furnace and looked at the nine third-grade rejuvenating elixirs lying quietly inside with satisfaction.
The last medicinal herb was finally made in one furnace of nine.
Ten medicinal herbs, and the final number of refining was thirty-four three-grade rejuvenating pills.
Ye Kong put away all the three-grade rejuvenating pills and glanced at the remaining ten medicinal materials of the third-grade soul nourishing pill.
He looked at Sakura, who was guarding the side, and said, "How long have I been refining?"
Sakura held up the sign: "Five days." ”
Five days......
Ye Qi took a breath and put away all the remaining three soul nourishing pill medicinal materials.
The difficulty of this thing is much higher than that of the Resurrection Pill, so I'll talk about it when I'm proficient.
The Soul Pill is used to restore spiritual power, while the Soul Nourishing Pill is the most demanded elixir for cultivators in the Soul Wandering Realm, and it is used to nourish the Soul Sea.
Ye Kong walked out of the door and asked the maid to take him to find Zong Yan.
He knocked on the door, and Zong Yan's voice came from the room: "Who?"
"I'm here to pay. Ye Kong said calmly.
Zong Yan quickly opened the door and motioned for Ye Kong to come in.
Ye Kong sat opposite Zong Yan and said, "How do you count?"
Zong Yan calculated carefully and said, "Two medicinal herbs and one pill." You have to give me five second-grade Blood Yuan Pills, five second-grade Explosive Spirit Pills, five third-grade Restoration Pills, and five third-grade Soul Nourishing Pills. ”
Ye Kong was slightly stunned, two medicinal materials and one pill...... Is this the hole on this side of the Endless Sea?
Zong Yan saw Ye Kong's gaze, and immediately whispered, "That...... If you are not satisfied, three parts of herbs and one pill will do. ”
Ye Kong covered his forehead and said, "What is the market price of the pill on your side?"
Zong Yan rubbed his hands and said nervously: "Generally, there are two medicinal materials and one pill, but when Wancai Company was attacked before, the price of the pill increased, and it became three parts of the herb and one pill." ”
Ye Kong sighed, looked at Zong Yan fixedly, and said, "I'll give you a medicinal herb and three pills." ”
Zong Yan's face was overjoyed, but then he said apprehensively: "You, you don't have any other requirements, right?"
She began to get nervous in her heart, if Ye Kong made some unreasonable demands on her, should she agree?
However, three pills for one medicinal herb are really cheap!
Just as Zong Yan was thinking nonsense, Ye Kong said lightly: "This is the reward, the reward for helping me block the Xue family's revenge." ”
Zong Yan was slightly stunned, and then said in a low mood: "That's ......"
Ye Kong took out the pill and said, "I haven't refined the Soul Nourishing Pill yet, can one Soul Nourishing Pill be offset with three Soul Rejuvenation Pills?"
Zong Yan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
After Ye Kong left the pill, he walked out of the door.
He returned to his room and began to refine the Soul Nourishing Pill again.
Another two days passed, and after Ye Kong practiced the Soul Nourishing Pill to the point that he could produce nine pieces in one furnace, he stopped.
He began to swallow the Soul Nourishing Pill and practice.
Sakura also began to retreat, preparing to storm the wasteland.
A few days later, Ye Kong strengthened his background and walked out of the door.
He used the Thousand Illusions to change his appearance, came to a roadside stall, ordered a bowl of noodles at random, and sat there to eat.
"Did you know? The Evil Bone Pirates have robbed another merchant ship of the Wancai Company!"
Ye Kong's right hand was about to put the noodles in his mouth, but he suddenly stopped for a short moment, and then began to eat with a calm face.
The voice came from the mouth of a man sitting next to him, and a man sitting in front of the man shook his head, sighed with emotion, and said, "That evil bone pirate group is really dead, and it actually offended Wancai Company so much!"
"Hey, who's to say it isn't. However, I heard from the second uncle of my uncle's cousin's friend of the child next door to my eighth aunt that the reason why the Evil Bone Pirate Group dared to do this was because the Wancai Company had recently discovered a submarine ruin from the ancient period, and they didn't have time to care about them. ”
"Isn't that a lot of good stuff?"
"Hey, no matter how many things there are, it has nothing to do with you and me. This kind of opportunity must have been targeted by those big people, where can we get it for casual cultivation. ”
"Too, drink!"
Ye Kong narrowed his eyes slightly, he originally came out to collect information about the Xue family, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain, the underwater ruins of the ancient period? It seems that you can take a look, but I don't know, is there this opportunity.
He sat for a while, and seeing that nothing else of interest to him had appeared, he got up and left the stall.
He flagged down a taxi, sat in the back seat, and said to the middle-aged man in the driver's seat, "Take me to the sewers." ”
The middle-aged man said slowly: "Guest, it's not a good place, there are a lot of rats. ”
"I'm just going to look for mice. Ye Kong said lightly.
The car began to drive, detouring many side roads along the way, and finally arrived in front of a dilapidated tavern.
Ye Kong got out of the car and pushed the door and walked in, came to the counter, and said, "Give me some garbage." ”
The man behind the counter raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "Guest, I don't know what kind of garbage is needed?"
"About the recent underwater ruins. ”
The man looked at Ye Kong with a smile and said, "This is easy to say, but this news is not simple, this money ......"
Ye Kong put down a Blood Yuan Pill and said calmly, "This is a tip." After that, the cost depends on the weight of your intelligence is not important. ”
The man's eyes suddenly lit up, he could use the second-grade blood yuan pill as a tip, this person is not small!
He grinned and accepted the Blood Yuan Pill, coughed lightly, and said, "This undersea ruin is in the deep sea not far from the lake island, and several people have already gone into the water to explore. But when I saw the ruins of the seabed, I was blocked out by the formation. ”
"In other words, you have to break the formation to enter?"
"No, no, no. The man shook his head, "This formation only blocks people above the Desolate Realm, and it is useless for cultivators below the Desolate Realm." ”
Ye Kong narrowed his eyes slightly, put down a Blood Yuan Pill again, and said, "Go on." ”
The man's eyes lit up and he began to talk endlessly.
......
Ye Kong walked out of the tavern, his eyes flickering.
The news of the undersea ruins somehow leaked out, and in addition to Wancai Company, there were other forces that were also interested in this undersea ruins.
Among them, there are Qianhaizong and Tongjia, who are the same first-class forces as Wancai Company.
In addition to these three giants, there are also second-class forces from various islands, and even some third-class forces have some thoughts.
For those of the Endless Sea, which are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Empire, they lack a variety of precious legacies. And some relics of the ancient period are extremely important to them.
The opening of the underwater ruins is just three days later!
Ye Kong pondered for a moment, he did not lack inheritance, but the relics of the ancient period could be taken a look.
Sakura's side......
That girl will definitely not let herself act alone, so go with her.
He returned to the clan and told Sakura about it, and Sakura nodded lightly, she hadn't yet reached the Desolate Realm and could enter it.
Three days later, Ye Kong said goodbye to Zong Yan and took Sakura to the entrance of the underwater ruins.
The sect family is expected to have ideas on their side, and maybe they will be seen in the ruins. But there was no need to form a team in advance, although from the time Zong Yan brought himself back to the Zong family, he knew that his identity was revealed.
However, this identity is just a soul wandering realm of slaying the desolate realm. The young master of the Ye family in the imperial capital, but it was not leaked.
On the Endless Sea side, it seems that the relationship with the Empire is not very good. It's better to have less contact with Zong Yan to save some extra trouble.
He came to the beach and looked around the crowds, and it seemed that the underwater ruins of this trip had made many people interested!
He pulled out the talisman, picked up Sakura and rode in the direction of the underwater ruins.
Fortunately, the underwater ruins were not far from the lake island, and Ye Kong had already arrived after consuming one-third of his spiritual power.
He jumped directly into the water, walked to the bottom of the sea, took out the elixir, and restored his consumed soul consciousness.
The spiritual power in his body turned into water spiritual power through the Bagua Array, which made Ye Kong's speed in the water speed up a lot, and he quickly went downstream, and the spiritual power in his body floated on the surface, resisting the pressure of the deep sea.
After a lot of consumption, Ye Kong arrived at the place where the underwater ruins were located, stayed in the water, and waited quietly.
After a while, other forces followed. They glanced at each other, then distanced themselves and stared at each other warily.
Suddenly, the ruins at the bottom of the sea began to shake violently, blooming with a golden glow.
Underwater Ruins, Open!
Everyone poured into it, and Ye Kong stood in the distance and did not break in directly.
He waited until everyone had almost rushed before he entered the room.
He crossed the barrier and fell to the ground.
Ye Kong shook his head and looked curiously at the place he was.
There is no water in this underwater ruin, but when you look through the barrier, you can see the deep blue water.
Ye Kong showed an interested gaze, is it a formation to block the sea water? In this way, this underwater ruin did not sink, but was at the bottom of the sea from the beginning? In this case, what kind of person is it that gave up the land and wants to live on the bottom of the sea?
His gaze moved to the murals on the surrounding stone pillars, which depicted what appeared to be half-human, half-fish.
Just as Haku was looking at the place, Sakura suddenly pulled out her long knife and stared closely at a woman walking over.
The woman smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I'm just curious why you don't go in and look for opportunities, but look at the murals here." ”
Ye Kong turned his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Personal hobby, if you're fine, let's go first! Otherwise, it's not good to have some misunderstandings!"
The woman still did not leave, but took a few steps closer and said, "Don't say that, meeting is fate, it's better to ......"
Before she finished speaking, Sakura, who had already pulled out her long knife, directly moved and slashed at her.
The woman took Sakura's slash lightly and said with a smile, "It's not good to do it directly, right?"
