Chapter 681: Survival, Just Waiting for Destruction

With a "bang", Ye Shuo fell to the ground with his back facing the sky, and his body swelled rapidly, like a balloon that was constantly pressurized. Endless energy is raging wildly in the body, and the whole person seems to be bursting at any time.

But Ye Shuo has no time to pay attention to his spiritual veins at the moment, and the more imminent crisis is...... He choked on the power stone!

Initially, the fist-sized gem also shrank in size after being swallowed. But it happened to be stuck in the throat, and I couldn't swallow or spit it out, only a large amount of spiritual energy continued to pour into my body. Ye Shuo was choked and rolled his eyes, and even a marquee began to appear in front of him.

"Look at the good things you kid has done......" The Medicine King Valley Master was also shocked by Ye Shuo's actions for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he roared wildly, pounced forward, and pulled down Ye Shuo's throat. But before he could go deep into his palm, the energy stone emitted a protective shield on its own, and the Medicine King Valley Lord was defenseless, and he was shocked back on the spot, and sat down on the ground in embarrassment.

"What are you kidding......" The Medicine King Valley Lord was furious. But he also knew the power of the power stone's body protection, so he didn't dare to come hard this time, so he could only turn to hit Ye Shuo's abdomen vigorously. This was the way to save people from drowning, but it is unknown whether it will work.

Ye Shuo's body continued to bounce up with his movements, and there was a gagging sound of "hiccup" and "hiccup" in his throat, but the power stone never spit out.

Just as the Medicine King Valley Lord ruthlessly accelerated the frequency of hammering, behind him, a spiritual power cannonball suddenly fell. In the dazzling golden light, the Medicine King Valley Lord trembled and fell forward. The throat was sweet, and the blood was swallowed with great difficulty. Turning around with difficulty, he saw a group of soldiers in strong and resolute clothes standing in front of him, bright armor and weapons, reflecting in the hot sun.

"Royal Army?" it took a while for the Medicine King Valley Lord to identify the people, knowing that they were all vanguard troops directly subordinate to the royal family. Maybe it was because the subconscious didn't regard the other party as an enemy, or maybe it was because he had lost the energy stone, and it was in chaos that the Medicine King Valley Lord didn't think about the previous attack at all, and called out in surprise: "You guys came just in time, come and help me take out the energy stone!"

The sergeants did not answer, but they all bent their bows and arrows, and the bright arrows were all aimed at the Medicine King Valley Lord.

"You ...... What do you mean by that?" the Medicine King Valley Lord finally saw the situation clearly, but he was also shocked at the same time.

The leading sergeant said lightly: "What have you done for hundreds of years, don't you still understand? It is already Your Majesty's mercy that the royal family can tolerate you to this day." ”

The Medicine King Valley Lord's eyes slowly narrowed into a line at this time, and he had already understood the meaning of the other party's words.

For many years, he has always harbored a disobedient heart, and the royal family has never bothered with him, perhaps just thinking that he can't afford to become a big climate. But this time, he actually wanted to collude with the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor, once he succeeded, he would definitely kill the monarch and stand on his own, and the royal family would never tolerate leaving such an unstable element in the territory, so they decided to strike first......

Yes, there is nothing wrong with their concerns, and there is nothing wrong with their approach. He had long expected that the Medicine King Valley and the royal family would definitely have a day when they would break their faces, and from this time the lord refused to provide financial support for his experiment, it was already a signal that war was about to start...... He only hated, why did these people choose this time, when he lost the power stone and didn't even have the heart to kill......

In this case, it will only be a quick solution......

"Hahaha...... If you have the ability, come on!" Thinking of this, the Medicine King Valley Lord stood up arrogantly, the sleeves of his robe were wide open, and he laughed loudly.

Then, there was the sound of blades clashing. Large swaying figures were blurred by the sun. Soon, everything disappeared in front of his eyes, and Ye Shuo completely lost consciousness......

While time stands still in one direction, time is still running elsewhere. Perhaps it is not time that is stagnant, but the travelers who have been abandoned by time.

The sunlight penetrated the leaves, sprinkling large spots of light, and this dilapidated alchemy room also experienced the rising and setting of the sun and the moon again and again. Ye Shuo opened his eyes again, he didn't know how much time had passed, the energy stone that was stuck in his throat seemed to have been completely refined by him in the end. Now, if you move your limbs a little, you can feel the surging energy that fills your veins.

Thanks to the blessing of the power stone, your own strength ...... Ye Shuo took a deep breath, and finally officially advanced to the chemical qi level! The three years behind were finally made up, and in the future, he was a well-known young powerhouse again!

According to his estimates, it would take at least a few months to complete a jump promotion. But according to Qingxiang Xiong, it has only been about ten days now. I think it's the devouring power in the body that accelerates the absorption of energy stones. Coupled with the accumulation of spiritual power when he was in the bottleneck period, today's breakthrough can be regarded as a perfect natural success.

Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Ye Shuo stood up and punched and kicked hard, full of energy. But as his eyes fell on the medicine furnace on the side, looking at the figure buried in the furnace fire, the vicissitudes of life and emaciation, the joy in Ye Shuo's heart suddenly seemed to be like a corner of the air, a heavy sadness, overturned the river and the sea.

The figure of the millet temple has become so thin that it is almost transparent. But on his face, there was a sense of detachment without joy or sorrow. He moved his chapped lips and smiled palely.

"Young people nowadays have their own opinions, and they don't want to listen to a word of advice from the elderly. In your eyes, this is a personality, but in the eyes of those who have come before, it is confused......"

"Senior, is there any other way to save you?" The joy of advancing to the Qi level had completely disappeared, and Ye Shuo fell to the ground, his heart aching.

Xiaozi Temple shook his head slowly: "Now that my primordial spirit has been destroyed, I will soon be gone." When I die, it will turn into a medicinal herb, and you can put it away. It should be able to help you a lot in your future cultivation path......"

Ye Shuo buried his head deeply, sad and indignant. He could sense that the life of the Millet Temple was draining away rapidly, and all the comforts seemed so powerless when both sides were aware of it. But...... How could he accept this gift, what he wanted to walk was never a road paved by others with their lives!

"Senior, can I ask a question?" It took a while for Ye Shuo to raise his hazy teary eyes, and what he struggled to squeeze out was such a sentence, "Why...... Is it me?"

"We've only known each other for less than a day, but my predecessors have an extraordinary trust in me, and they even risk their lives with me, and now even the Blue Lotus Immortal Medicine has to be entrusted to me, why?"

Now that I think about it, when I was in the cell, it was Huang Zimiao who tried his best to push himself as the second candidate, otherwise with his popularity at that time, it would be impossible to get this opportunity.

According to the millet temple, it is because he is a qi cultivator and is very sincere, so even if it is so...... But when he proposed to find an alchemy pharmacy, the exit was already in sight, and he could completely ignore it, why, he still chose to continue to accompany him?

What he gave to himself was unreserved trust and support, but what did he do? He killed his ......!

"Maybe it's because we're similar. Looking at Ye Shuo, who was trembling in pain, the millet temple just smiled peacefully and said gently.

"My body is the elixir of the blue lotus root, and my mission in this world is to transform into my original form after meeting a destined person for him to eat. The purpose of my life is to wait for destruction, that sounds cruel, doesn't it?"

Ye Shuo was completely dumbfounded, came back to his senses, and hurriedly shook his head vigorously. Huang Zimiao ignored his futile comfort, and his voice was mixed with the gurgling medicinal soup, which seemed a little low.

"As an immortal medicine, I naturally have some immortal energy, and I have a little bit of insight into cause and effect. Although you are not my destined person, you are the person whose fate is most similar to mine.

The purpose of your life is to let another person completely replace you on the day of your destiny...... Although you are no longer the old you at that time, the future path is still closely related to your choices today...... All I can do is to let you feel more of the love and goodness of the world, and only in this way will the world in the coming world not be a catastrophe......"

"Senior, what are you talking about...... Ye Shuo felt that his brain couldn't keep up at all, "Let someone else completely replace me?"

Millet Temple shook his head: "I've said enough. If we continue to talk about it, we will all be punished by the laws of heaven and earth. Speaking of this, he seemed to sense something, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with a bit of holy brilliance.

"It's time to say goodbye...... "A large amount of light spread from the body of the Millet Temple, reflecting him as a golden man. But the eyes that gradually turned hollow never closed completely, as if he wanted to see the world he loved one more time, the last ...... The smile that was gradually blurred in the halo was like the last slanting sun on the horizon.

"Daoist Priest!" Ye Shuo stretched out his hand hard, at this time, the Huangzi Temple had completely become a golden shadow outline, the benevolent eyebrows were gone, the iconic green beard was gone, and even his figure was rapidly shrinking in the light.

The Taoist priest who has lived in the Taoist temple for many years, raises fish and farms in his spare time, is quite popular among the cottages, and has no quarrel with the world, just now, made a final farewell to the world. However, his destiny is not to become an immortal, but to be eternally destroyed. A hundred years of cultivation has been an empty cultivation after all.

After a few breaths, the light and shadow faded, and all that remained suspended in mid-air was a dark brown herb, only a few inches long, like an old tree root. On each side of each side is a row of green grass mustard, similar to the old beard of the Millet Temple. It is said that they can also be used as medicine, and have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying.

The legendary blue lotus fairy medicine turned out to look like this. From the outside, it's really unremarkable. And how many things in this world are so difficult to live up to the name, but how many people have been searching for that whitewashed brilliance until they have exhausted their lives?

Ye Shuo slowly stretched out his hand, and the blue lotus immortal medicine wrapped in the light cluster was sensitive, and it only trembled slightly, and it floated in his direction. Ye Shuo's five fingers tightened, feeling the coldness of his palm against the dark roots, and the tears that had just stopped flowed out again.

When refining the power stone, Ye Shuo's last memory was that the people of the royal army suddenly appeared, and the Medicine King Valley Lord also brazenly faced the battle. But now that the two sides are gone, although they don't know what the success or failure is, if it is the Medicine King Valley Master who wins, he should definitely not let himself break through, that is, this guy who is full of evil has really reaped the consequences?

Walking around the valley, Ye Shuo firmly believed in his own judgment. Now the entire Medicine King Valley has been completely turned upside down, and the corpses of the yellow-clothed messengers can be seen lying crookedly everywhere, and all the buildings have been destroyed. It seems that the royal army has also been prepared this time, and once it starts, it will be necessary to completely exterminate the Medicine King Valley!

Later, Ye Shuo also ran in all directions, calling Ah Zhi's name, but he never found him. As for the "medicinal herbs" that were previously imprisoned in the cell, they all took advantage of the fact that the Medicine King Valley was captured by foreign enemies and fled early. Seeing this, Ye Shuo was mixed with joy, and could only silently pray that with the strength of the Azhi Qi Sect, he could also get out of danger smoothly.

After everything was over, Ye Shuo dug a small soil pit outside the valley, and in the pit lay the precious Lotus Root Immortal Medicine. After kowtowing a few times to the herb, Ye Shuo raised the sand in his hand, and the surface of the immortal medicine was quickly sprinkled with wisps of broken sand.

"It's rare to find the legendary blue lotus immortal elixir, master, don't you really refine it?" The light and shadow flashed, and this time Qingxiang Xiong appeared directly beside him.

"If it weren't for my misjudgment, he wouldn't have died!" Ye Shuo clenched his fists, and the fine sand in his palms was also thrown in all directions with his trembling, "I have already harmed him once, how can I refine his body and ...... for my spirit after the death of my predecessor?"

Qing Xiangxiong nodded and said, "Even if you give up voluntarily, what about the other people who need this elixir?" For example, your friend who ruined half of her face last time, do you want her to wear that face for the rest of her life?"

Zhou Yuyan ......" Thinking of the helpless girl, Ye Shuo's movements suddenly stopped. Then, under the pleased gaze of Qingxiang Xiong, he slowly reached out and re-grasped the blue lotus immortal medicine.

This time...... Definitely won't let go again!

Ye Shuo held it very tightly, as if what he had in his hand was his only remaining dream.

……

After Ye Shuo left, in the ruins of the Medicine King Valley, two black-clothed men quietly stepped in.

Both wore wide hats with two layers of black veil hanging from the brim. Walking in a hurry, he turned a blind eye to the corpses around him, as if he was concentrating on finding something.

"Has the wasted really been to this place?" said one of them, in a low voice.

"According to the compass, spiritual power fluctuations are indeed coming from this direction. The other man held a strange-looking compass with large and small scales on the surface of the disk, and a pointer in the center, which was shaking aimlessly.

"It's really ugly, can't it all be done by waste?" Looking at the corpses everywhere, the man in black holding a compass sighed.

The other man in black looked back impatiently, as if he wanted to stop his talking. But then both of them clearly saw that the pointer on the plate shook again, and then it was fixed straight to the west!
