In the mountains and forests, only a humanoid ice sculpture remains. The grim man in white held the fairy spirit flower, and without looking aside, he raised his hand and swiped flat in mid-air, and a twisted vortex appeared automatically. As the man stepped in, a large amount of spatial airflow emerged from the whirlpool, completely obscuring his back in the blink of an eye. And the whole whirlpool slowly dissipated behind it.

After a long time, cracks began to appear on the surface of the solidified ice sculpture. When the cracks are already like cobwebs all over the ice, it is a "bang" and explodes into Xiaoice pieces in the sky. Ye Shuo's figure also reappeared at this time. His eyebrows and hair were covered with layers of frost, and the embarrassment of a moment ago was still imprinted in his blood.

"What about the fairy spirit flower?" As soon as he got rid of his confinement, Ye Shuo hurriedly raised his head. Looking at the empty hands, he still didn't give up for a while, and asked the second daughter beside him.

Zhou Yuyan shook her head at him sadly, and said softly: "If there is no fairy spirit flower, there will be no more, the important thing is that the person is fine." ”

Kemei also echoed excitedly on the side: "Yes, that person just now is really amazing! He just raised his hand like this, and he froze Brother Ye with a 'boom', and Xiaomei was stunned on the side! Brother Ye can protect us from his hands, and he has already behaved great!"

Ye Shuo sighed silently, only to feel that all the strength in his body had been drained, and he was so tired that he didn't even want to say a word to them. Slowly turned around and staggered down the mountain.

On the way back, although the two daughters said that they didn't care about the gains and losses of the fairy spirit flower, and Zhou Yuyan even made an exception to comfort her, Ye Shuo still couldn't lift her spirits. Above him, it was as if a dark cloud was floating all the time, shrouding him in a deep darkness.

He knew very well that the person just now just didn't have killing intent, if the other party really wanted to kill them all, I was afraid that the three of them would have died a long time ago. It was he who made Zhou Yuyan see hope first, and then lost it, with his own strength, he couldn't even protect their safety, he really couldn't afford the gratitude and trust of the second daughter.

"Is it true that I have become so weak now?" Ye Shuo asked himself repeatedly along the way. Every time he asked, it also made the shadow in his heart a little heavier.

"I feel that you are not weaker now, but that you have lost your Dao heart. After he had asked himself many times, the voice of Qingxiang Xiong suddenly sounded in his head.

"Now, when you encounter a problem, the first thing you think of is 'I can't do it', not 'how can I do it', and you blame every failure on the lack of the past three years. Yes, you lost three years, which is irretrievable, but in your eyes, these three years are equal to a lifetime?

You only see the exceptions of your deceased who succeeded three years later, but you don't see the people who also face failure, but still strive for self-improvement. If you continue to be mired in self-pity, you will lose not only these three years, but your entire life!"

Ye Shuo's eyes widened suddenly, and every word of Qingxiang Xiong was like an unbroken Hong Zhong, which resounded deeply in his heart.

These are the things he once avoided confronting, but now they are so real in front of him...... Yes, people will always face many adversities in their lives, and face many strong enemies, which are originally the only way to grow. But after three years in a coma, he fell into a self-defeating mentality. All the difficulties and failures are attributed to the lost three years.

If you think about it carefully, even if he has cultivated well in the past three years, will he definitely be able to break through to the Tongtian Realm? The answer is naturally no. In that case, why can't he laugh at the ups and downs, and chase it back with double his efforts after three years less than others?

Looking back now, he would agree to help the second daughter find the fairy spirit flower, and the guilt was secondary, and the more important thing was actually to take a fancy to their strength at the Qi Gathering level. Only in front of them can he continue to maintain the self-esteem of a strong man and enjoy their admiration and worship in peace...... It's really shameful to be like this.

"Qingxiangxiong, thank you!" The dark clouds in Ye Shuo's heart were swept away, and the whole person suddenly brightened up, and he couldn't help but say loudly. Kemei and Zhou Yuyan on the side were taken aback by him.

***

Yin Wind Hell.

Luo Dixing and Yin and Yang Shuangsha were waiting anxiously in the cave, and there was an old man with a white beard standing beside him. The gorgeous badge on his chest proves that he is an eighth-rank alchemist.

Such a noble status is enough for him to become a guest of honor in the major prominent families. But at this time, standing beside the legendary Rakshasa Ghost Emperor, the old man was honestly standing with his head down, and he didn't even dare to raise the corners of his eyes by half a point without permission.

Luo Dixing's temper was very anxious today, and he paced back and forth in the cave with his hands behind his back, glancing at the entrance of the cave from time to time. Even the yin and yang swordsman, who was more familiar with him, didn't dare to ask more at this time.

In the midst of his eagerness, in the snow in front of the cave entrance, a spatial vortex finally slowly emerged. Sen Cang's figure is also becoming clearer and clearer under the wrapping of various air currents.

Luo Dixing's eyes lit up, he took the initiative to greet him, hurriedly stopped him from bowing down according to his routine, almost snatched the white lotus flower from his hand, and then hurriedly returned to the old alchemist and handed the lotus flower: "The fairy spirit flower has been taken, let's start refining the medicine quickly!"

Since the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor released the news that he needed to find a high-grade alchemist, the registration point was almost all leveled by the alchemists who came from all sides.

It is rare that this evil star has a request from others, if he behaves well and can become his royal alchemist, then his whole family will have a chance to rise to the top. Even if not, it is really a good thing to let the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor receive his own favor.

For a while, as long as there were some grades of alchemists, everyone's nose was high. And the people who are engaged in the other nine special professions are secretly regretting, why didn't they think of learning to refine medicine in the first place?

In order to compete for this only spot, all the alchemists used their housekeeping skills, and in the end, they even wanted to fight. And this old alchemist, it was with his excellent skills and experienced experience that he finally stood out in the fierce competition.

After all, in today's world, it is said that no one has reached the Nine Rank Alchemist for a long time. The eight-grade level has invisibly reached the pinnacle of the alchemy world.

Taking the fairy spirit flower, the old man carefully threw it into the medicine pod, raised his hand and made a move, and all kinds of auxiliary medicinal materials were automatically suspended on the side, and each medicinal material was wrapped in a tiny spiritual light cluster. With the manipulation of the old man's soul power, the medicinal herb light clusters were thrown into the tripod one after another, and under the spiritual power of the medicine tripod, a layer of blue and faint flames was automatically ignited under the spiritual power.

This is the fire of the primordial gods, the alchemy fire that is commonly used by high-level alchemists. This fire is connected to the soul of the alchemist, and it is often only a matter of a slight movement of the mind when manipulating. Therefore, the control of the heat is much higher than that of ordinary flames. But every time it is used, it will inevitably cause a great loss of soul power, which is difficult for low-grade alchemists to touch.

The Dao Dao light cluster churned slowly in the Ding Furnace, and gradually, a small amount of juice appeared on the surface of the medicinal materials, overflowing the light cluster, and had a subtle reaction with the ingredients extracted from other medicinal materials. The slight explosion sound was endless, and layers of bubbles floated one after another, and then exploded one after another.

The most difficult thing to refine is the fairy spirit flower. About half an hour later, a few drops of clear dew slowly flowed on the surface of the petals. Obviously, this is the legendary "fairy spirit jade dew" with many miraculous effects.

As soon as the fairy spirit jade dew entered the water, it gradually turned from the original clear and transparent to an ice blue color, and faintly, a kind of cold air overflowed from it. After being roasted by the flames, the ice-blue jade dew quietly flowed, condensing into a blue film, enveloping the rest of the medicinal herbs one after another.

The most critical moment is coming, and the old man is pushing the fusion of medicinal power with his soul power from time to time, and every action is meticulous. As a burst of strong medicinal fragrance emanated from the ding, several onlookers also held their breath.

All kinds of medicinal powers have been preliminarily mixed, and the pills have begun to take shape, and the next step should be the most important step, "Cheng Dan".

The blue flame under the Ding Furnace burned more and more violently, and the clear qi mixed with medicinal power continued to move closer to the center under the impetus of the old man's spiritual power. But just when the color of the pill was becoming more and more transparent, the energy in the entire Ding Furnace suddenly became greatly disturbed. Although Luo Dixing and the others were laymen, they all saw that there was something wrong with the elixir in this furnace at this time.

The old man's complexion also changed drastically at this point, and he hurriedly poured spiritual power into the furnace, trying to maintain the balance in the ding, but the fluctuations of the medicinal liquid in the whole furnace had become more and more violent, and even the entire ding furnace was shaking. Finally, with a "bang", the furnace exploded, and pieces of fragments mixed with the residue of the liquid medicine knocked over the ground.

The old man was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot, and said, "Lord Ghost Emperor, forgive your sins!"

Fu Mosheng came back to his senses first, and scolded in annoyance: "I wasted such an important fairy spirit flower, damn it!" He pulled out the long knife with a "swish", and the blade reflected a clear light in the sun.

The old man didn't have time to pay attention to the long knife on his body, so he only kowtowed to Luo Dixing again and again: "Lord Ghost Emperor Mingjian, this is really not an old and decaying skill...... This will happen, most of the time, the fairy flower is fake!"

Sen Cang, who had always been watching coldly, squinted his gaze when he heard this, and said coldly: "Impossible! I personally took the fairy spirit flower, how can it be fake?"

Luo Di Xing trusted Sen Cang, and his cold and slightly murderous gaze instantly turned to the old man.

"Lord Ghost Emperor doesn't know," the old man bowed his head deeply, "The essence of this furnace elixir is the harmony of yin and yang. With the fairy spirit flower as the guide, supplemented by the yang material, the fairy spirit jade dew is extremely cold and can neutralize the medicinal properties. However, the cold contained in this flower is not enough, and the heat overflows, which leads to the fryer...... What the old man said is true!"

Han Diyue on the side pondered for a moment and turned to Sen Cang: "Think about it carefully, this fairy spirit flower, did you really pick it from the fairy spirit platform? At that time, was there anyone else?"

Sen Cang thought for a moment and responded: "At that time, I also met a few humans, and I snatched this fairy spirit flower from those humans...... Could it be that he was replaced at that time?"

Fu Mosheng frowned: "We have already released a rumor before, saying that this fairy spirit flower is asked by the Ghost Emperor, who dares to be so bold?"

Sen Cang's mind turned sharply, and he bowed down to Luo Di Xing and said, "My subordinates will go to them again immediately!

Luo Dixing waved his hand indifferently, and said lightly: "That's it, since the other party can exchange this flower in advance, he must have been prepared for a long time, once he gets the real thing, how can he not immediately refine the fairy spirit jade dew? Even if you run again, it will probably be in vain, so let's think of other ways." ”

With a turn of his gaze, he helped the old alchemist to his feet and asked, "As far as you know, if you want to refine this flavor elixir, is there a similar medicinal material that can replace the fairy spirit flower?"

The Talisman Gate on the other side.

Komei sat in front of the vanity mirror, with a delicate saucer containing a small amount of clear liquid, about the bottom of the saucer. Kemei raised her hand and dipped it in the saucer, then evenly spread the liquid on her face, tilted her head slightly, and waited for her face to absorb the medicinal properties automatically.

"This fairy spirit jade dew really lives up to its reputation, after using it, the skin really becomes more delicate and shiny!" After a while, Kemei carefully looked at herself in the mirror, her hands lightly supported her smooth face, and from time to time she put on a few beautiful expressions in the mirror.

"If I told them early in the morning that this fairy spirit flower was clearly asked for by the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor, Brother Ye would definitely not go to help pick the flowers. Xiaomei really didn't hide it on purpose...... But Brother Ye, you are such a good person, you must not blame Xiaomei, right?"

After muttering a few words to herself, Ke Mei smiled mischievously at the mirror again: "Also, oh, if the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor wants to find trouble in the future, Brother Ye, you can also help take the responsibility by the way, hehe, Brother Ye is the best!"

Eyes rolled to the outside of the room, "By the way, at this time, everyone else has gone out to listen to the teacher's lecture, let's go and show Brother Ye and Yuyan how Meimei looks now!"

Outside the room, Ye Shuo and Zhou Yuyan were sitting side by side in front of a small coffee table. Ye Shuo persuaded her to come out more to bask in the sun, but Zhou Yuyan was always reluctant to step out of the room because of her mutilated appearance. Now it seems that in order to comfort Ye Shuo, she made a compromise temporarily.

"Brother Ye, don't take the matter of fairy flowers to heart anymore. You've helped us a lot, maybe, that's my life. Zhou Yuyan stared at the untouched tea in front of her and said softly.

"No, since there are fairy spirit flowers in the world, there must be other ways to heal your face!" Ye Shuo said resolutely, "I won't give up." In the past three years, I have always been ashamed to talk about it, but I forgot that it is not only me who has lost the three years that can struggle, but you are also depressed...... Now that I'm on my feet, I hope you can stand up too!"

Zhou Yuyan shook her head bitterly. Stand up...... How easy is it to say?

"There's one thing, maybe I should tell you. In fact, it was ...... in the middle of summer that year"

But before Zhou Yuyan's words were finished, Kemei ran out excitedly and showed a bright smile at the two.

"Brother Ye, Yuyan, look, is Xiaomei's complexion good today?"

Zhou Yuyan looked at her, so delicate and delicate, full of all the vitality that belonged to a girl...... Originally, I could have had such a perfect face......

Suddenly touching the pain in her heart, Zhou Yuyan couldn't sit down anymore, hurriedly got up, and fled.

"Hey, Brother Ye, why doesn't Yuyan seem to be very happy?, did Xiaomei say something wrong just now?"

Ye Shuo glared at her. He felt that Kemei was clearly intentional, he had lived with Zhou Yuyan for so long, what should he say and what should not be said, don't he have a score in his heart?

was interrupted like this, and he forgot to ask what Zhou Yuyan wanted to say before. But I don't think it's too important.
