Xia Rui continued: "Elder Ye, I really don't want you to go, I know that you definitely won't stay here for a long time, but I hope you can stay a few more days and let me repay the favor." "Since Xia Rui met Ye Fan, he did help Ye Fan a little, but compared to Ye Fan's life-saving grace, those small favors can only be regarded as a drizzle.

Now that Ye Fan was finally fooled up the mountain, and Ye Fan was appointed as an elder, Xia Rui also planned to take advantage of Ye Fan's time of recuperation to repay his kindness, if Ye Fan left, Xia Rui would not be happy.

Ye Fan took a puff of cigarette, in the smoke, Ye Fan thought about it a little, if he left now, there would be a lot less trouble, but it was almost impossible to think of a cultivation resort with such a strong aura. If he didn't leave, the Great Elder who had returned last time would definitely find a chance to solve the problem. Moreover, Ye Fan could see from the Great Elder's attitude towards Xia Rui that the Great Elder did not approve of Xia Rui.

After pondering for a while, Ye Fan spoke: "Okay then, I'll stay a few more days." "When the decision was made, Ye Fan was already ready to deal with the Great Elder, and by the way, he assisted Xia Rui to stabilize the position of the future successor of the Wuji Gate Master, if Xia Rui really became the Master of the Wuji Gate, it would also be of great help to Ye Fan's future growth.

Seeing that Ye Fan agreed, Xia Rui said excitedly: "It's really good, I'll take you around first, and meet with the people of Wujimen, and in the future, the people of Wujimen will go out to do errands, and when they meet you, they will also take care of each other." ”

Ye Fan smiled and said, "According to my guess, you shouldn't be the only candidate for the future sect master, you also have a lot of competitors, and the strength of the other party is no less than yours, am I right?"

Hearing this, a trace of shock flashed on Xia Rui's face, then he sighed and said, "Elder Ye, your wisdom is unmatched, you have only been in Wuji Gate for a few days, and you have spent most of your time in retreat and cultivation, but you can still see some clues. You're right, although I'm the number one candidate, I still have a lot of competitors, and there are a few powerful elders in the Council of Elders, and I have secretly cultivated several candidates, and they are also very competitive, so who doesn't know who the final winner will be until the last moment. ”

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, Ye Fan smiled slightly, and said: "The Great Elder came to me for trouble, in addition to wanting to give me a dismount, but also because I have a relatively close relationship with you, there is one more elder who is good friends with you in Wuji Gate, then the chance of you successfully sitting in the position of the sect master has increased." Moreover, the reason why the sect master made me an elder is not only because of my alchemy, but also because of my relationship with you, I hope I can fully support you. ”

Xia Rui nodded and said, "Elder Ye, although you are very young, you have seen things very thoroughly. ”

"So, I decided to stay and help you. Ye Fan said with a smile.

Help me?" Xia Rui looked at Ye Fan suspiciously, and said, "Elder Ye, you have helped me enough, I don't want you to have a bad relationship with the Great Elder because of me, the Great Elder is very strong, in case the Great Elder kills you, you will be in danger." ”

Ye Fan laughed and said, "I really didn't take the Great Elder in my eyes, okay, let's not talk about the Great Elder, let's talk about you, according to my observation, after this period of recuperation, your injuries have healed, and your strength has also been improved, and it has reached the level of a half-step level." ”

"To be honest, you're the most gifted martial artist I've ever seen, not one of them. Ye Fan continued, although Xia Rui's growth speed could not be compared with Ye Fan, compared to other martial artists, he was already quite strong, and he was also the most talented person Ye Fan had seen so far.

Xia Rui smiled modestly and said, "Compared to you, I am nothing at all. "This is from the heart, before he met Ye Fan, Xia Rui had always been the pride of the sky, and he was regarded as a top genius in the entire Wuji Gate and even in the entire martial arts world, and at the age of forty, he had already reached the high level of the Xuan level, close to the level of half a step of the ground level.

After returning from the ancient ruins, Xia Rui, who had recovered from his injuries, made a small breakthrough and became a half-step ground-level existence, and in his forties, he became a half-step ground-level powerhouse, and in the entire martial arts world, he couldn't find a few.

"You have encountered a bottleneck now, and with a little more effort, you will be able to reach the ground-level martial artist, and it is estimated that by then, you will be the youngest ground-level master in the entire martial arts world. Ye Fan said with a smile, Ye Fan had already had an idea in his heart, before leaving, to assist Xia Rui to successfully advance to the ground level, with the assistance of Ling Dan and Ye Fan, it was not difficult for Xia Rui to advance to the ground level.

From this, Ye Fan also thought of himself, Ye Fan had been in the same place for a long time in the realm of the half-step ground level, and after the retreat, he still could not successfully enter the ground level, and Ye Fan, who cultivated the True Cultivation Technique, had much greater difficulty in advancing than ordinary martial artists.

Prefecture-level!

This is the realm that many martial artists dream of, but there are very few martial artists who can reach the ground level, and it can be described as rare.

Xia Rui, who has always been very strong, has been thinking about entering the prefecture level as soon as possible after entering the Xuan level, but unfortunately, he has spent ten years on the Xuan level, and now he has touched the threshold of the ground level, but it is too difficult to go further.

"Now for me, becoming a ground-level martial artist is still a relatively distant dream, although it is only half a step away, but this half step is equivalent to a moat. Xia Rui said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily, I've observed, your talent is extremely high, if supplemented by the elixir, you can reach the ground level in a short time. Ye Fan opened his mouth and said, just now Ye Fan used his divine sense to investigate, which made Ye Fan very surprised, Xia Rui, who had just entered the half-step ground level, actually had the conditions to enter the ground level.

Hell, talent is really jealous.

Even Ye Fan was a little jealous.

Well?

Really? Xia Rui looked at Ye Fan excitedly and said, "Elder Ye, what you said is true?" After being excited, a wry smile flashed on Xia Rui's face and said, "Even if what you say is true, but you need a spirit pill, Elder Ye, although you are a master of alchemy, alchemy requires a treasure of heaven and earth." ”

Ye Fan looked around, saw that there were only two servants standing around, waved his hand to signal the servants to retreat, although Xia Rui said that the servants were extremely loyal, but in order to prevent the news from leaking, Ye Fan still chose to let the servants leave.

Then, Ye Fan leaned into Xia Rui's ear and said using his true qi transmission: "You are right, I do lack the heavenly and earthly treasures of alchemy now, but your master has it. ”

A trace of suspicion flashed on Xia Rui's face, and suddenly, Xia Rui showed a suddenly realized expression and said, "Are you talking about a hundred-year-old Zhuguo?"

Ye Fan nodded and said: "That's right, it's a hundred-year-old Zhu Guo, strengthening the meridians, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the Yuan, it can improve the skill of twenty years, and refining the elixir with Zhu Guo, the effect is the best, not only can you reach the ground level, but also quickly stabilize your strength, and in a very short period of time, let you become a real ground level master." ”

In fact, the door master has been keeping Zhu Guo just to use it for Xia Rui when he hit the ground level, but Xia Rui doesn't know, and Ye Fan doesn't know either.

Xia Rui frowned and said, "Elder Ye, I once heard Master say that when Master got the Hundred-Year-Old Zhu Fruit, he once convened the alchemy masters in the sect to discuss, and asked if he could use the Hundred-Year-Old Zhu Fruit to refine the elixir, and the effect of directly swallowing the Hundred-Year-Old Zhu Fruit was not as good as refining it into an elixir. But the alchemists said that it was impossible, because the difficulty was too great, and there was no one in the world who could refine the elixir with a hundred-year-old Zhu Guo. ”

Ye Fan patted Xia Rui's shoulder and said, "When I was in retreat, I thought about it for a while, and I was sure that I could use Zhu Guo to refine a first-grade spirit pill, Peiyuan Dan. ”

Prior to this, Ye Fan had used a hundred-year-old royal jelly crystal, and the four treasures of Mount Tai had refined Pei Yuan Dan, although it was also a first-grade spirit pill, but the effect was effective, if a hundred-year-old Zhu Guo was used as a raw material to refine Pei Yuan Dan, the effect would be enhanced several times, enough for Xia Rui to advance to the ground level, and Ye Fan could also use Pei Yuan Dan to successfully advance to the ground level.

Xia Rui immediately stood up and said excitedly: "Now let's go to the master, as long as you can really refine the Peiyuan Dan, I believe that the master will definitely be very happy." ”

The two of them went out of the room and went straight to the main hall, the main plate of the Wuji Gate was sitting on the futon, holding a thread-bound book in his hand, reading with relish, there was a stove on the coffee table next to him, and a small teapot was placed on the stove, steaming with the slightest heat, and the refreshing fragrance of tea permeated the room.

After Ye Fan and Xia Rui entered the main hall, Ye Fan gave a peer salute and bowed his hand slightly, while Xia Rui bowed deeply.

The door master put down the book, stood up, and said with a smile: "Elder Ye, Xia Rui, you are here, hurry up and sit down, it happens that I just made the tea." ”

After taking his seat, the door master handed Ye Fan a teacup and said, "I was going to talk to you in the past few days, but I didn't expect you to retreat and cultivate that night, and you will be in retreat for seven days." ”

Ye Fan took the teacup, said thank you, and then continued: "In the ancient ruins, when I was fighting with others, I was seriously injured, so I need to retreat and recuperate. ”

"Seeing that your complexion is good now, your breath is stable, you should have recovered. The doorkeeper asked.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "The injury has healed." ”

The door master smiled, took out the box containing the hundred-year-old vermilion fruit from behind him, handed it to Ye Fan, and said, "Listen to Xia Rui, you are an alchemy master who is rare to see in a hundred years, so I want to make a deal with you." ”

After seeing the jade box, Ye Fan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Door master, it turns out that you have already guessed our intention, let's say, how do you want to trade?"

The door master laughed and said, "I want to know, how many spirit pills can you refine with this Zhu Guo?"
