Chapter 20: Uncertain Opportunities
The whole state lasted for an afternoon, and when Ye Liao opened his eyes again, twilight had already fallen, and it was pitch black all around. With his memory, he stumbled to find a candle in the darkness and lit it, and with the bright lighting, a letter appeared in front of Ye Liao's eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Liao was a little puzzled. In his impression, he didn't write a letter when he came back today, and he only closed his eyes all afternoon, and his six senses would not be closed for meditation like a cultivator, Ye Liao could be sure that no one came in during the period when he closed his eyes. To further make sure, Ye Liao held the candle to see if there were any signs of the door being opened. As he thought, there was not a trace of the door.
The letter was pressed by a water bottle so that it would not be blown away by the wind. Ye Liao hesitated for a moment and picked up the letter. But when it was opened, the letter was blank. But...... Immediately afterwards, the voice of the old man who took away Zhou Yilian sounded in Ye Liao's mind:
Although you have your own unavoidable reasons to let the little girl take away by the old man. But the old man still has to say, thank you for your trust. The old man also knows what you think in your heart, if it weren't for your little friend, your meridians would never have been abolished, you would never have made such a choice, but you also want to use your own strength to protect the little girl...... The old man thought about it and decided to give you a chance to fight, if you can reach a certain height in the future, then you will naturally find her, if you fail, or don't see each other again for eternity......
......
After finishing speaking, a list of herbs appeared in Ye Liao's mind. This list has never been seen before, but the medicinal herbs are not so complicated, many herbs can be easily obtained, and these herbs have one thing in common - they are all more or less toxic. However, the final requirement of this list made Ye Liao frown lightly, this material was the most critical material - the foundation building spiritual liquid.
Foundation building spiritual liquid is a kind of spiritual liquid that helps people consolidate and improve their foundation, so that people can cultivate better and faster. Before Ye Liao began to cultivate, he had used the foundation building spirit liquid to lay the foundation, which was also one of the reasons why he was able to advance to the Qi Refining Realm after three years of cultivation. Although the foundation building spirit liquid is precious, in the past, Ye Liao could still get it, but now, it is really a little powerless.
"This old man won't want to poison me, it's all poisonous herbs......"
Half a year ago, Ye Liao met the old man on an outing, and the old man at that time had already expressed his desire to take Zhou Yilian away, and asked Zhou Yilian where he lived, so as to obtain the consent of Zhou Yilian and her family. It's just that Ye Liao was full of talent at that time, young and vigorous, and directly rejected the old man. For a period of time after that, Ye Liao would be cautious when he went to Zhou Yilian's mansion, lest the old man follow him in any corner to find out Zhou Yilian's residence. But the old man never appeared again, as if the world had evaporated. Until a month ago......
Ye Liao thought about it for a long time, did the old man really disappear after that? his intuition told Ye Liao that it was probably not like this. What is a person's strength, you can guess about fifty percent from your expression. Moreover, Ye Liao couldn't feel any fluctuation of source qi in the old man's body, in this case, he was either an ordinary person, or his strength was strong enough to reach a certain realm. If Ye Liao's guess was right, the old man had been paying attention to him, or Zhou Yilian, since then......
............
"I swear by my cultivation path......"
............
Cultivators will never swear by their own cultivation future, because the way of heaven cannot be violated, no matter how strong you are, after all, you can't do the way of heaven, especially those who have reached the high realm, a small step breakthrough is a rare gift for them.
Now that you have chosen to believe, stop speculating......
His gaze returned to the list of medicinal herbs. Tsukiki Elijah...... Maybe the old man in the academy should have a way.
Arriving at the school, Ye Liao walked straight to the master's place. Wherever he walked by, some disciples involuntarily took a few steps back when they saw his figure. In the past, they didn't sneer at Ye Liao, but now Ye Liao, with his own strength, thwarted the ancient path of the Quadruple Forging Body Realm, this is simply not too terrifying, how did he do it! What he can do now is to avoid it, and never encounter this devil again......
"Ye Liao pays a visit to the master. Walking to the master's place, Ye Liao greeted the master sitting in the house.
The master slowly raised his head, looked at Ye Liao, and sighed, "Little guy, you are really a blockbuster this time." ”
But Ye Liao pretended not to hear his master's praise for him, walked into the house, and sat down in front of his master. He gritted his teeth slightly, and said to the master with a serious expression: "Master, I want to ask you a question, although it may sound a little strange...... Master, you ...... Do you know where to sell the Tsukiki Ichor in Sigo Town, or if there is any way to get the Tsukiki Elixir?"
"......" The master looked at Ye Liao's eyes and closed slightly: "The foundation building spiritual liquid is an excellent auxiliary elixir for cultivators, but I don't understand, you are no longer able to cultivate, why are you looking for the foundation building spiritual liquid?"
"I have my own usefulness for this, if the master doesn't know, then I will take my leave first. ”
At the moment when Ye Liao got up to leave, the master gave an unexpected but extremely satisfying answer to Ye Liao: "Yes." I have a way to get the Tsukiki Ilc. It's just that the conditions may be a little difficult to obtain. ”
"Just say. If I can do it, I will naturally do it. Ye Liao quickly replied.
The master nodded and said, "Every ten years, Xige and Xiliang will have a fight. On the surface, it is to let young people see the opponents and the world outside, but in fact, it is just a comparison of the strength of the younger generation between the two towns. ”
"Well, go ahead. ”
"However, in the past 80 years, we Xige have all been crushed by Xiliang. The Master sighed.
"Oh, eighty years...... In other words, Master, you should have participated in it when you were young. Failed too?"
"Hmm. ”
"So. What does this have to do with the foundation building spiritual liquid?" Ye Liao asked.
"The next month is the battle between Xige and Xiliang. Xiliang's strength has always been higher than ours, and many of them will go out to places that are more suitable for their training, and even join certain organizations. Therefore, in order to facilitate the competition for talents, these organizations will sponsor some elixirs or some high-grade weapons whenever we compete with each other. The prize for next month's competition is the Tsukiki Spiritual Liquid. ”
"If you can. I hope you will represent Sigo in this 'sparring'. ”
"Good. But with the preciousness of the Tsukiki Spiritual Liquid, there should only be one bottle. I'm curious, Master, how you'll divide the prize. Ye Liao agreed without hesitation.
"Huh. The master smiled, I don't know if it was for Ye Liao to be able to agree to his request or what. "I'm well aware that Sigo doesn't have any chance of winning. If Sigo wins, it's undoubtedly your credit. You are the one who bears the brunt of the credit, and you are entitled to receive a whole bottle of Tsukiki Elixir. I'm sure no one dares to have an opinion. ”
"Good. I'll come back when it's time to play. Ye Liao got up and left, without asking the master why he chose him, and there was no need to ask.
"We're going to go to the competition venue in half a month, but don't forget the time. The Master reminded.
Ye Liao, who had already walked out of the door, heard the master's reminder, nodded slightly, and then left without the slightest hesitation......
