Chapter 157: One Life for One Life
"Except for brutes, any kind of blood is fine." Taishang Laojun opened his mouth and said, his brows furrowed, "Now you should understand, why Heavenly Court has no way to save Bai Ze, right?" Exchanging one life for another, this kind of thing, Heavenly Court can't do. โ
Yuan Bao nodded, his face a little blank: "Disciple understands." โ
Taishang Laojun wanted to speak and stopped, but finally only sighed lightly and said: "Everything has a life, you ...... Think for yourself. The Jade Emperor recently went to the West Heaven to discuss the Dharma with the Buddha, and Benjun decided for the Jade Emperor. โ
Pulling the corners of his mouth, Yuan Bao smiled a little sarcastically and asked: "Lao Jun, you have dragged on until now, in fact, just to let us save others, so that you don't have to bear any responsibility, right?" โ
was told that he had something to do, Taishang Laojun's face turned slightly red, and he looked away in embarrassment, and said, "Anyway, this is voluntary after all, we ...... and I have not forced you. After a pause, he said: "One day in the sky, one year on earth, in order not to delay your actions, if you think about it, I will send you to a cave in my world, where the spiritual energy is abundant, and you can cast spells." โ
"Understood." Yuan Bao said lightly, "I'm sorry for the trouble." โ
So, Taishang Laojun swept away the dust and brought Bai Ze and Yuanbao to the cave house in his own world, where there is also a pool, although it is not as good as Yao Pond, but it is also a place full of spiritual energy.
Putting Bai Ze on the pool, Taishang Laojun turned around and said to Yuanbao: "This is the cave when I came to the mortal world to practice, you cast spells here, and no one usually comes to ask." I'll let the boy watch you out there, so you won't be disturbed by anyone. โ
Yuan Bao nodded, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "Thank you, Laojun." โ
Taishang Laojun didn't know what to say, and finally held back a sentence "That Benjun left first", and then as if something was chasing him behind him, he fled and soon disappeared.
Yuan Bao knelt in place, turned his head sideways, and looked at Bai Ze on the surface of the pool in the cave. After a while, he slowly walked over and stood by the pool, expressionless.
He suddenly remembered the appearance of Ye Aoxue and Bai Ze when they talked before, as long as they were in front of Bai Ze, Ye Aoxue was very relaxed and would not stiffen her face; He suddenly remembered the scene he saw when he followed Lingdie into the cave that day, saw Ye Aoxue's eyes red, saw Chu Litian and Xiao Dai dead, and watched Ye Aoxue leave lifelessly; He also remembered that a long time ago, with the smile on the corner of Bai Ze's mouth when he spoke, Bai Ze always had a kind of magic, even if he entered the demon path, he could still smile and make people feel like a spring breeze.
Stretching out his hand, he conjured a dagger, and the blade was cold.
It was the first time that Yuanbao's face had such a solemn look.

Early in the morning, Ye Aoxue opened her eyes from her sleep, and after a brief freshening up, she walked out of the cabin. The courtyard is full of all kinds of herbs, and they can be sold for a high price of 10 million taels if they are taken out casually, but in Ye Aoxue's eyes, these are useless.
Walking into the alchemy room, the traces of last night's alchemy failure were still there, but Ye Aoxue rolled up her sleeves and continued to sort out the alchemy furnace, and after a while, she lit the fire again and began to put herbs into the alchemy furnace.
Since Ye Aoxue left the cave, she took Chu Litian back to Lingshan, and found an alchemy room built on the mountain when the ancestor of the Netherworld was still there, and settled down here.
The spiritual energy around Lingshan is abundant, nourishing a lot of precious medicinal materials, which saves her a lot of time in collecting materials.
Slowly closing the lid of the alchemy furnace, Ye Aoxue stood up, but suddenly her eyes were dark, she stumbled for a moment, and almost fell, and hurriedly stretched out her hand, held the pillar next to her, and stood still.
My eyes were dark for a while, and I don't know how long it took to gradually get better, and I saw what was in front of me. The alchemy furnace was still burning, but the fire had begun to get smaller.
Immediately cast a spell, increasing the flames, and the fire under the alchemy furnace suddenly increased. Withdrawing her hand, Ye Aoxue held on to the pillar and panted softly, her face was not very good, there was a faint layer of cyan under her eyes, it was obvious that she had not rested well during this time.
Stretching out his hand and gently stroking the gourd tied around his waist, Ye Aoxue smiled slightly, no matter how tired and sleepy she was, when she thought of Chu Litian, Ye Aoxue felt that she would definitely be able to hold on.
Suddenly, a demonic aura approached, making Ye Aoxue suddenly raise her vigilance, looked out of the door, stretched out her hand behind her, shook it, and took out the demon whip.
The demonic qi was getting closer and closer, but it was not coming to the alchemy room, but to the side of the courtyard. Ye Aoxue slowly pushed open the door, and through the crack in the door, she saw a white figure entering the courtyard.
Slowly narrowing her eyes, Ye Aoxue had a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, even if she couldn't use those medicinal herbs herself, she wouldn't let these demons and monsters steal them lightly!
A white fox jumped up and down in the courtyard, and when it landed, it didn't make a sound at all, and after a while it had several medicinal herbs in its mouth, and finally because the prototype couldn't hold too many medicinal herbs, it had to transform into a human form, hold a cloth bag, and throw the medicinal herbs in the yard into the bag the same.
Ye Aoxue stood outside the courtyard gate, but the stupid fox had been immersed in the excitement of stealing medicinal materials, and didn't notice anything at all, Ye Aoxue thought about it, put away the demon whip, and conjured an ordinary whip, with a wave of his hand, the whip broke through the air, flew out, and wrapped around the fox spirit's wrist.
Startled, the fox demon turned his head and saw a woman dressed in dark blue standing in the doorway, holding a whip in her hand, connected to the whip wrapped around her hand.
The heart was not good, and the fox demon wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that the ordinary whip was wrapped very tightly, and she couldn't struggle at all.
"Put down the herbs." Ye Aoxue said lightly, "I will spare you from death." โ
The fox demon struggled violently, and was finally freed, and immediately rolled over the wall, trying to escape directly over the wall, but the whip followed her like a shadow and threw her to the ground.
was whipped down in mid-air, and the fox demon slammed to the ground, being smashed to pieces, and the cloth bag in his hand fell out, scattering medicinal herbs all over the ground.
"Put your things down and you're good to go." Ye Aoxue leaned against the courtyard gate and said coldly, "Don't let me say it a third time." โ
The fox demon wolf got up bรจi, knowing that he couldn't beat the mortal in front of him, but he still said unwillingly: "I've been watching it around for a long time, and you can't use these medicines at all, but you just pick them and waste them here!" Why can't you give it to me? โ
Ye Aoxue had a cold face: "I'm willing." โ
"You ......" The fox demon was angry, but he didn't dare to scold, he blushed, and only held back one sentence: "You are quite unreasonable!" โ
Ye Aoxue sneered, shook the whip in her hand, and asked, "I'm just quite unreasonable, so what?" If you have the ability, you can take these medicinal materials from me, if you don't have the ability, hurry back to your cave and cultivate well! โ
The fox demon glared at her angrily, and also understood the disparity in strength between himself and Ye Aoxue, so he turned into a prototype in frustration, jumped on the wall, turned around, and said angrily: "Mortal, you wait for me, I will definitely come back!" โ
Ye Aoxue watched the fox demon jump off the wall and leave, then looked at the cloth bag containing medicinal herbs on the ground, and frowned slightly.
The next day, when the little fox came, he found a cloth bag hanging in the middle of the courtyard door from a distance. Seeing that the doors of the two rooms of the cabin were closed, he couldn't help but feel happy, and quietly approached the cabin, jumped up, and wanted to take the cloth bag down directly, and then leave immediately.
However, what the fox demon didn't expect was that he jumped, not only did he not approach the small cloth bag, but a flash of light, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange forest.
"This ...... Where is this? The fox demon looked at the unfamiliar environment and couldn't help but be a little scared.
This is, Ye Aoxue's cold voice came from mid-air: "Little fox, you have now entered the formation I have placed, there are seven seven and forty-nine tempering in it, as long as you walk out of the formation intact, whatever herbs you want, as long as I have it, you can take it." โ
Seventy-seven forty-nine grinds? How long is that going to be?
The little fox suddenly collapsed: "You mortal deceive people too much! โ
Ye Aoxue sat in the house, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "I just deceive people too much, so what?" โ
The little fox in the formation was lying on the ground, with two front paws covering his face, and cried whimperingly, looking pitiful, but Ye Aoxue didn't appreciate it at all, and said lightly: "Don't worry, although it is in the formation, the things inside are real, and you can't starve to death." Don't make this appearance, I'm a woman, I won't be confused by your trick, and then I pity you and let you go. โ
The little fox complained in his heart, thinking that you don't have the compassion that a woman should have, okay? If it was an ordinary woman, shouldn't she be motherly when she saw such a cute and pitiful little fox, and then let go of such a cute and pitiful little fox with a soft heart?!
Obviously, Ye Aoxue is not an ordinary woman, so she will not have any maternal hair on a fox who came to the door twice to steal medicinal herbs.
So, the little fox still had to get up obediently and break through the level seriously.
Ye Aoxue sighed lightly, turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, her eyes were a little confused. I don't know how many years I have been in the mountains, she has been living alone here all day long, and she has been alchemizing, and she doesn't know how much time has passed.
