Chapter 121: The Mysterious Old Man
Ye Xin'er was completely sober at this time, and when she saw Ye Chen's pale face, the blood at the corners of her mouth and the blood stains on her body, she was immediately frightened, and hurriedly reached out to wipe the blood on the corners of Ye Chen's mouth, and wiped the blood stains on his body for him. "Brother, how can this be, brother, don't scare Xin'er, okay......"
Ye Xin'er's tears wet her entire face like a torrential rain, her eyes were full of distress and panic, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain made Ye Chen's heart feel distressed. "Xin'er, my brother is fine, I can recover after going back to recuperate for a while, as long as you are fine. Ye Chen said and stretched out his hand to hold her face full of tears, gently wiped away her tears, and said softly: "Don't cry, the little face is not beautiful when it cries." ”
Ye Xin'er chuckled and said distressedly: "You are like this and make people laugh, it's all Xin'er who is not good, it's Xin'er who is too stupid, she was captured by Lin Gui's old thief, and her brother was so seriously injured......" "Silly girl, as long as you're okay, nothing matters." What is my brother's injury, it can be healed after a period of cultivation. Now let's get out of here and return to the family as soon as possible, otherwise Lin Guiruo will be in trouble if someone comes to find us." ”
"Well, let's hurry up!" Ye Xin'er couldn't help but shake when she heard Lin Gui's name, and she was a little scared and gritted her teeth. After walking out of the Northern Wasteland, Ye Chen found a safe place to breathe for a while, completely suppressed the injury and did not worsen, and then set foot on the journey home with Ye Xin'er for a full three days before Ye Chen and Ye Xin'er returned to Ye's house. One is that Ye Chen was injured and couldn't use his real power to increase his walking speed, and the other was that they didn't dare to take the official road and chose a small road. After all, Ye Chen couldn't be sure if Lin Gui would send people to look for him and his sister along the road after he escaped with serious injuries.
Back at the family mansion, Ye Chen didn't want the family to know about it, so he returned to his room, and Ye Xin'er followed, saying that he wanted to take care of him. Who knows, the housekeeper Ye Bo saw Ye Chen with a pale face and vain steps, and even knew that he was injured. And I haven't seen Ye Chen and Ye Xin'er in the mansion for a few days, something must have happened.
Ye Bo quickly found the head of the family, Ye Qian, and told him about it. When Ye Qian learned that Ye Chen was injured, his face sank suddenly, and before Ye Bo could react, he disappeared into the study like the wind and went straight to Ye Chen's courtyard. In Ye Chen's room, he was persuading his sister Ye Xin'er to hurry back and do her own thing, but Ye Xin'er didn't follow and had to stay to take care of him, which made Ye Chen feel helpless. "Bang bang bang!" Ye Chen's face was serious, and he wanted to say something to his sister, but when he heard a knock on the door, he was slightly startled, looked at Ye Xin'er, and motioned for her to open the door. opened the door and saw that it was her grandfather Ye Qian, Ye Xin'er pouted, and her tears of grievance almost fell.
"Xin'er, how is your brother? Ye Gan walked to Ye Chen's bed as he spoke, and saw him sitting cross-legged on the bed, his face was unusually pale, and he hurriedly checked his injuries, and his face became more and more heavy. "Chen'er, tell grandpa, who hurt you!" The anger in Ye Qian's eyes was almost about to erupt, he clenched his teeth, and a ridge bulged out on his old face. "Lin Gui of the Lin family, he pretended to be a swordsmith to deceive Xin'er's trust, and then captured Xin'er to the Northern Wasteland, and sent a message for me to go alone. Fortunately, although I was injured, I also rescued Xin'er, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”
When Ye Qian heard this, his forehead was bruised, and he was full of anger. He didn't expect Lin Gui to be so insidious and despicable, and he seriously injured Ye Chen at this juncture, and his heart was clouded with a layer of haze. "Grandpa, I'm fine, I can heal after a period of cultivation, and I won't get in the way. "Chen'er, you haven't been in Qingyang Town these days, and you don't know that important news has come from the Shenwu Gate of Wudu City. Now that you are seriously injured, I don't think it is possible to recover in a short time, so how can this be? Ye Gan's expression was very heavy, and he sighed deeply, looking worried. Ye Chen's heart was shocked, there was important news from the Shenwu Sect that had reached Qingyang Town, and he asked suspiciously: "Grandpa, what important news has reached us from the Shenwu Sect, and what does this have to do with my injury?"
"Of course it does. Ye Qian sighed, the expression on his face gradually became excited, and said, "Do you know that this time the Shenwu Sect is going to select disciples in our Qingyang Town, and there will be one or two places for outer disciples at that time. Originally, our Ye family only had your hope the greatest, but now that you were injured by that Lin Gui, I am afraid that it will be difficult to participate in the disciple selection competition in half a month. "The people of the Shenwu Sect want to come to our Qingyang Town to select disciples in person?" Ye Chen was taken aback, and for a while he didn't know what it was like. Originally, his father Ye Boyan wanted him to join the Shenwu Sect, and this time the Shenwu Sect selected disciples was the best opportunity, but he was seriously injured at this time.
Ye Qian glanced at Ye Chen and said, "This time, the way for the Divine Martial Sect to select disciples is to compete in the ring, the Lin family is our strongest competitor, Lin Yuanshan's eldest son Lin Yifeng and Lin Yuanfeng's son Lin Zhanbai are both martial artists of the Seven Realms of the Tongmai Realm. Originally, Grandpa was thinking, although only Qing'er in our Ye family has reached the Sevenfold Heaven of the Tongmai Realm, but Yichen'er, your strength is also equivalent to a sevenfold martial artist of the Tongmai Realm, but you are ...... now" "Grandpa, the matter has come to this, maybe this is luck." In fact, I had already recovered to the sevenfold realm of the Tongmai Realm before I left the family a few days ago, if it weren't for Lin Gui's conspiracy, I think the number of disciples selected by the Shenwu Sect this time must have been our Ye family. But if you can't get a place this time, it won't matter, and it's the same if you go to Wudu City to find an opportunity to join Shenwumen in the future. ”
"What, have you already recovered to the seventh level of the Tongmai Realm?" Ye Qian looked at his grandson in shock, how long had it been, and he had actually recovered from the fourth level of the Tongmai Realm to the seventh level, this kind of cultivation speed was even more astonishing than four years ago.
"Chen'er, do you know that if someone from my Ye family can become a disciple of the Shenwu Sect, even if it is only a disciple of the outer sect, then our Ye family can be said to have ascended to the sky in one step, and the entire family's industry will definitely develop rapidly, and no one dares to suppress us in such a small place. Therefore, the quota this time is very important, no matter what, I will not let the Lin family take away the quota, otherwise in the future, our Ye family will not be able to stay in Qingyang Town, and we will be eradicated by the Lin family!" "I naturally know this. Ye Chen nodded, and said helplessly: "It's a pity that my internal organs were shaken out of place by Lin Gui's palm power, and my meridians were also a little damaged, and I will definitely not be able to participate in this selection competition in half a month." ”
"Chen'er. Ye Qian looked at Ye Chen, as if he had made some decision, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is too important for our Ye family, and it is also a rare opportunity for you to come, grandpa must let you get better as soon as possible no matter what, and when the time comes, you will participate in the selection competition and win the place of the outer disciple!"
"But grandpa ......" "Don't say it, hurry up and adjust your breath, grandpa won't bother you, grandpa will surprise you tomorrow." With a loving smile on his face, Ye Qian patted Ye Chen's hand lightly, then turned around and left, and forcibly pulled Ye Xin'er out of the room. "You kid, girl's family, look at how dirty your hair and clothes are, and I don't know how to take a shower and change clothes. Also, grandpa knows that you feel sorry for your brother, but what he needs most now is pranayama, and only by constantly absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth to nourish his body can he recover from his injury, do you know "Ah!" Ye Xin'er exclaimed, touched her face, looked at her clothes, it was indeed very dirty, her delicate face was slightly red, and she said coquettishly: "Okay, people will go to take a bath and change clothes." ”
Ye Xin'er playfully stuck out her tongue at Ye Gan, and then ran away with a smoke. Looking at her back, Ye Qian shook his head, but a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he took a step and left this courtyard. In the room, Ye Chen endured all kinds of constant pain in his body, tried his best to calm his heart, and sat cross-legged on the bed to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, so as to nourish the five internal organs and those meridians that were injured.
This injury was really serious, and if it was only to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to nourish it like this, it was estimated that it would take at least more than 20 days to recover as before. Thinking of what his grandfather said before leaving, he knew that the surprise that his grandfather said must be an elixir that can quickly heal wounds, but what kind of elixir is it? A day passed quickly, and the news that the Shenwu Sect of Wudu City was going to hold a selection competition for outer disciples in Qingyang Town had spread to everyone, and the streets and alleys were talking about this matter.
The people of Qingyang Town know about the Shenwu Gate, but they also know that the Shenwu Gate is a big sect in the Wudu City, and the rest don't know anything about it. People were talking about the disciple selection competition of the Shenwu Sect after half a month, and the same thing was also being discussed in the Ye family's family hall. Directly above the hall, the head of the family, Ye Gan, sat on the right seat, looking at everyone in the family with solemn eyes.
"You also know how important the discipleship quota of the Shenwu Sect is to our Ye family this time, and it is related to the prosperity and demise of our Ye family. Our biggest competitor is the Lin family, but the overall strength of the Lin family's juniors is above us. "Father, in the past, the strength of the junior of the Lin family was indeed above our Ye family, but now Ye Chen has recovered a lot of real power, I think it should be about the same, we still have a chance in this disciple selection competition." Ye Bofeng said that the clenched hand also overflowed with blood, and his fingertips sank into the flesh and blood of his palm.
Although this pain was indescribable, Ye Chen still gritted his teeth and endured it, and controlled the profound true power to continue to push forward, opening up the eighth positive vein little by little. Because the true power is deep and pure, the process of rushing through the level is very fast, but in the great pain, it is very long for Ye Chen, after all, this process is like a sharp knife cutting the meridians.
"Boom!!" A heavy muffled sound came from Ye Chen's body, all the pain subsided instantly, and the true power in the eight positive veins fused with each other and flowed back and forth, endlessly. "Whirring ......"
Ye Chen gasped for breath, his clothes and black hair were soaked with sweat, but a smile appeared on his face. "The eightfold realm of the Tongmai realm has finally broken through!"
After a few more days like this, Ye Chen had already completely refined the medicinal power of the Spirit Yuan Fruit, and his cultivation had also reached the middle stage of the Eight Heavens of the Tongmai Realm, and it had been completely stabilized. Just as he was in the excitement of breaking through the realm, that mysterious voice came from the mysterious Neidan again.
"I didn't expect that your little family would have such a thing as the Spirit Yuan Fruit, but it's a pity that it was directly used by you like this, it's really a tyrannical thing!" Ye Chen was stunned, calmed down the excitement in his heart, and was full of surprise and doubts at the old voice in the mysterious inner pill. Thinking of the battle with Lin Gui in the Cliff Valley, the blood-colored dragon shadow that suddenly manifested had a lot to do with the owner of this voice.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen asked in his heart: "Senior, who are you, why are you in my mysterious inner pill, and why is that mysterious inner pill in my body?" "Who am I?" The old man's voice became a little erratic, and he was slightly silent for a while, and said: "In the future, you will call me Long Lao, as for the rest, you don't need to ask more." And with your current vision, even if you tell you, you can't understand it. ”
Speaking of this, Long Lao sighed, with a hint of desolation and loneliness, and said: "Back then, my lord was invincible in the world. But he didn't think that his divine pill would end up in such a poor and remote place, where birds don't lay eggs. If it goes on like this, I am afraid that in this life, I will not be able to wait for the day when the Ten Directions Blood Demon Dao will reappear in the Shenxiao Continent. Elder Long's words made Ye Chen puzzle in his heart, but he guessed that the mysterious Inner Dan in the dantian was most likely the inheritance of an amazing character, and it seemed to be very powerful.
What is the Ten Directions Blood Demon Dao in Long Lao's mouth? Ye Chen thought to himself, it sounded like a cultivation method, so he thought of the stone tablet in the mysterious Inner Dan, after all, the Heavenly Rank Martial Technique 'Blood Demon Enchantment' was obtained from that stone tablet. Thinking of this, Ye Chen was even more sure that the Ten Directions Blood Demon Dao that Long Lao said might be the mysterious stone tablet. Long Lao's lonely voice made Ye Chen's heart also rise with an inexplicable sense of sadness, after all, Long Lao had saved his life, deep down, Ye Chen was still very grateful to Long Lao, and immediately said: "Long Lao, don't worry, hasn't the Ten Directions Blood Demon Dao already appeared now? I will let it shine in the Shenxiao Continent." ”
"Do you mean this place, this place can also be called Shenxiao Continent?" Long Lao sneered, this is only the most remote and backward place in Shenxiao Continent, the real powerhouse will not come here at all, nor will they look here, and the people here will almost never know what the real Shenxiao Continent looks like for almost their entire lives. "This ......" Ye Chen was stunned, not quite understanding what Long Lao meant, so he asked, "Long Lao, if the Shenxiao Continent you said is not here, where would it be?"
However, Long Lao didn't respond to Ye Chen's question, didn't explain much, sighed, and his tone was full of helplessness: "Since you have already been put on the table, there is no other way." By the way, there is something wrong with your cultivation of the Blood Demon Enchantment, now listen to me explain to you the essence and a few points to pay attention to. Hearing Elder Long say that he wanted to instruct himself to cultivate martial arts, Ye Chen was overjoyed in his heart, and readily agreed, and immediately listened to Elder Long explain the essence and some difficulties in the cultivation of the 'Blood Demon Enchantment'.
"Martial arts, the essentials of movement are important, but the most important thing is to understand the truth, which is the essence. The 'Blood Demon Enchantment' is a heaven-level martial art, and it is impossible for you to truly comprehend the essence now, but at least you must be able to move as you like and send and receive freely. Every time you cast it, does it start with a larger vein and then flow into the veins all over your body?"
"yes, is there something wrong?" Ye Chen asked suspiciously. "Of course not! If you push like this, first of all, the speed of casting will be a little slower, and you will not be able to make the true power of all veins advance at the same time, and it will be difficult to exert the power it should have. This is a mistake, you can try to let the true power flow in the Baibai veins at the same time to urge it, and see how it works!"
"But there are clearly many meridians in the body that need to be continuously cultivated to smooth them one by one, can you use real power like this?" Ye Chen was full of surprise and dumbfounded, this is against common sense. Elder Long sneered and said, "Let you have a long experience, if there is nothing special, how can it be regarded as a heaven-level martial art." Of course, some meridians are not smooth, you just need to run your true power into the smooth meridians at the same time. ”
Ye Chen nodded secretly, with a puzzled attitude, and began to cultivate the 'Blood Demon Enchantment' according to the method that Elder Long said. Ye Chen once again cast the 'Blood Demon Enchantment', and found that the true power instantly penetrated through the hundred veins, smooth and accessible, and the floating blood qi power was much stronger than before, and the effect was greatly enhanced. "You can really do it like this!" Ye Chen was shocked inexplicably, and his face was a little sluggish while showing joy. Because his martial arts cultivation has been improved, he also feels very excited, and his body trembles a little.
Long Lao was a little surprised to see that Ye Chen had comprehended so quickly, and he also became a little interested in him, and said in an appreciative tone: "Yes, yes, it seems that you are not useless, this comprehension is barely qualified, as long as it is not rotten wood, you can carve it." I have a set of martial arts here, which is just right for you to cultivate now, so I will teach you the secret of cultivation, and listen to it. ”
"You want to teach me martial arts?!" Ye Chen was shocked, and then he was overjoyed, his expression was a little excited and full of anticipation. The martial arts taught by Elder Long are definitely not ordinary, you can imagine it just from his identity. At that moment, the dragon veteran slowly said the secret and information of the cultivation of martial arts, so that Ye Chen firmly remembered it in his heart. After teaching the cultivation mantra, Long Lao began to explain to Ye Chen: "There are three styles of this set of yellow-level advanced martial arts 'Thunder Palm', and its power is stronger than the other. Because this set of palms has the name of 'running thunder', so its three styles all have the word thunder, namely: thunder three thousand, thunder ten thousand, eight wilderness thunder. Listening to the names of these three styles, you can think that the attack of this set of palm techniques is the same as the thunder and the pass, and if you hit the opponent during the battle, your body will be paralyzed, such as being hit by lightning. ”
Ye Chen listened quietly, he liked this set of palm techniques very much, and his heart was also full of anticipation, and he had an urge to cultivate immediately. After all, among the martial arts cultivated now, there were no other powerful martial arts except for the heaven-level martial art 'Blood Demon Enchantment'. However, Ye Chen knew that he had to calm down and digest all the explanations explained by Long Lao, only in this way would his cultivation be faster. Long Lao also knew that Ye Chen was thinking about the key points of this set of martial arts that he explained, so he didn't disturb him.
After about two hours, a ray of essence appeared in Ye Chen's eyes, and he couldn't wait to jump out of bed, and he was about to start cultivating the 'Thunder Palm' in the room.
"Wait! What are you doing, you can't be so anxious when you want to cultivate. Ben Thunder Palm is moving loudly, and with your current realm, when you make a move, your real power surges, do you want to tear down this house?" Long Lao's words woke Ye Chen up, slightly embarrassed, and almost forgot about it in a hurry, if you really cultivate here and collapse the house, I don't know how many people will have to be attracted. "I was in a hurry, I almost caused an accident, I will go to the back mountain immediately, it is clean there, and no one will know about any big movement. Ye Chen opened the door and went straight to the back mountain from the path in the backyard. Coming to the place where he had cultivated, Ye Chen slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the cultivation method of the Ben Thunder Palm flashed in his mind, and a pair of palms slammed out.
Ye Chen's movements were very agile, his palms waved, and the rumbling thunder sounded immediately, and the fallen leaves around him seemed to be swept up by the wind, turning with the trajectory of his palms. Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen took a step and conjured up several phantoms, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the false. "Thunder three thousand!" Ye Chen snorted, his hands suddenly slapped forward, the true qi in his body surged out, and an arc of electricity flashed in the palm of his hand, and there was a thunderous "Bang!" The big tree with a thick bowl mouth in front of him immediately exploded, sawdust flew out, and then fell down with a bang. "Thunder!" Ye Chen's body suddenly turned, and the whole person shot out like an arrow off the string, a ray of thunder and lightning flowed from his arm to his palm, and then condensed into a fist-sized thunderball in the palm of his hand, shattering another big tree with a bang.
"Eight Desolations and Thunder!" Ye Chen didn't stop, and he performed the third form in one go, and it was also the most powerful one. I saw him swipe with his hands, and his true power spread out of his body, whirring and flowing in all directions of his body, and quickly turned into a thunder grid, making his whole person look as if he was in the center of thunder and lightning. A thunderball between his hands quickly condensed, from the size of a fist to the size of a skull, and then was violently pushed out by him. "Boom!!" The silver thunderball slammed into the boulder in front of it, instantly blasting the boulder into a deep pit. The power of the lightning flew in all directions, smashing the surrounding tree trunks into sawdust and flying all the sawdust.
"Okay! It seems that your comprehension is a little bit higher than I thought, and it would be good to be able to use the 'Thunder Palm' to this point at the beginning of your studies. However, there are still some deficiencies, you listen well, I hope that when I use it later, it can meet my requirements!" Long Lao's voice sounded in Ye Chen's mind, and he said the flaws when he cast the 'Thunder Palm' palm just now.
"The Thunder Palm is a martial art for the main attack, and the palm is domineering and has special effects. Although you have cultivated well, you still haven't realized the essence of Ben Thunder Palm. The so-called dance its shape, move its circle, and understand its spirit. And you have only done the first two points now, what is called understanding of the gods, you should have your own comprehension!" "The first form: thunder three thousand, the first thing is to show momentum, and you and others, let them recharge their energy and prepare for tomorrow's trials!" "Yes!" Everyone in the Ye family nodded, their faces were full of anticipation and excitement, and everyone's bodies trembled involuntarily. At the same time, in the hall of the Lin family, Lin Guiduan sat on the big seat of the family, a pair of gloomy eyes flashed with a fiery and gloomy light, glanced at everyone in the Lin family, and said: "The people of the Shenwu Sect have arrived, there is no room for any mistakes in tomorrow's selection competition, our Lin family must get a quota! This is a good opportunity for us to soar, I hope that tomorrow's Feng'er will be able to overwhelm all the younger generations!" "As long as tomorrow's Feng'er gets the quota, this Qingyang Town will be the world of our Lin family in the future, and even the surrounding towns will have to give us a nod and a waist!" ”
