74. The Chaser
Since Qing Yi knew that it was not that there was something wrong with the technique she cultivated, but that her cultivation progress had greatly exceeded Ye Kong's expectations, she had been smirking excitedly for several days.
However, even so, Qingyi's cultivation was still very hard, and he did not slack off in the slightest.
Moreover, after Ye Kong allowed her to start taking Xuanyuan Pill to cooperate with her cultivation, Qingyi's cultivation speed increased almost geometrically.
This point is another place that Ye Kong did not expect at all.
Although entering the Xuan Realm is only a realm for the monks to break through the foundation, and it is the transformation of the body of the most basic monks in all the cultivation realms, in fact, it is not an easy thing to break through at each realm level.
Generally speaking, even for those genius disciples who have been carefully cultivated by top families and great sects, it will take at least three months to enter the fourth layer to the fifth layer. Of course, if you take the elixir and use the spirit stone without any scruples, then this process can naturally be shortened by more than a month, but in fact, this kind of behavior is cutting off your own cultivation future, so there will not be such a stupid monk.
In the monastic world, the biggest difference between a genius and a mediocre person is the conversion rate and speed when absorbing the aura.
To make a simple comparison, if it takes a total of 100 points of aura to break through from the fourth layer of the Xuan Realm to the fifth layer of the Xuan Realm, and an ordinary monk can only accumulate a little aura every three days, and a slightly better monk may be able to accumulate a little aura every two days, then the so-called genius is able to accumulate a little or even a little five aura every day. Of course, these assumptions are not very accurate, because in fact, it also involves the bloodline talent, the fit of the exercises, the belonging of the five elements of yin and yang, and so on, so the actual cultivation time is also long and short.
Qingyi's talent is not inferior to the genius disciples carefully cultivated by those big sects and top families, even if he doesn't cooperate with Xuanyuan Dan's cultivation, he can break through to the fifth layer of Xuanyuan within five months. According to Ye Kong's estimation, with the perfect fit of the technique of "Taiyin Xuanshui Jue" and the cooperation of Xuanyuan Dan, Qingyi should be able to break through to the fifth layer of Xuanxuan within three months, which is faster than the geniuses of ordinary sects and families.
But when Qing Yi actually started to take Xuanyuan Pill to cultivate, her progress was still much beyond Ye Kong's expectations.
If the so-called genius disciples can grow by one to one point five per day in the transformation of spiritual energy, then the growth rate of Qingyi is two points per day.
At this rate, in fifty days at most, that is, in less than two months, Qing Yi would be able to break through to the fifth layer of the Xuan Dynasty. And this is at most, it refers to such a place where the aura is relatively thin, if it is in some areas where the aura is relatively strong, the cultivation speed of Qingyi can be improved again.
Because it's a question of conversion rate.
Suppose that in an area where the aura is thin, the amount of aura is ten, then a normal monk can only convert to 0.1 every time he absorbs it, then they need to absorb it ten times before they can convert it into one of their own true elements. But some monks, every time they absorb it, they can convert it into 0.3, 0.4 or even 0.5, so they only need to absorb it twice to increase their true essence a little.
And if in a place where the aura is strong, for example, the content of the aura is twenty, thirty, or even higher, then the more true essence the monks can transform each time they absorb it, which can naturally greatly increase their cultivation speed.
It's just that in terms of conversion rate, absorption speed and other data, Ye Kong can't see it.
He could clearly see all of Qingyi's data, including her innate attributes, the five elements of yin and yang, her personal cultivation martial arts, realm cultivation, etc., but he couldn't see her conversion rate and speed when absorbing aura. However, now, by observing Qingyi's cultivation speed after taking the elixir, Ye Kong can roughly know that Qingyi is very fast in terms of both the conversion rate and the absorption speed of the aura.
A disciple with such a talent can be said to be a genius among geniuses.
If she wasn't a beggar, even if she was just a child of an ordinary family, I am afraid that she would have been picked up by the major sects and raised as a baby.
In the town, the Zhang family's caravan was originally planned to stay for only two days, but due to a small accident, it caused the itinerary to stay for three more days.
If it was before, Ye Kong might be a little dissatisfied.
However, after discovering that Qingyi had such a fast aura absorption and transformation speed, Ye Kong naturally didn't say anything. With Qingyi's current situation, it is true that a more stable cultivation state is needed, although sitting in a carriage can maintain a relatively stable state, but after all, it is still not as good as being in a place like an inn. The only thing that made Ye Kong feel pity was that the inn in this village did not have a spirit gathering array.
However, in this regard, Ye Kong naturally couldn't force it.
Three days later, after everything was ready again, the caravan of the Zhang family began to hit the road again.
……
And just two days after the caravan of the Zhang family left the village, several fierce middle-aged men also came to the village.
The person in the lead was the middle-aged man who was almost killed by the prince of Guanhai in the restaurant of the Golden City that night.
His aura is full of amazing, and there is a faint sense of breaking the void, obviously he is already half a cultivator who has stepped into the breaking realm, and what he lacks now is just an opportunity. And the three people who followed him, the aura on their bodies was mellow and wishful, obviously a circle realm cultivation, but there were high and low.
When he came to this village, his face was extremely gloomy.
No matter what, he can't forget that night more than a month ago, if it wasn't for Mr. Aoyama to come to his rescue, he would have been killed by Prince Guanhai. So after getting the pardon at that time, he naturally hated all the people of the Shen family, and he was even ready to take revenge as long as he found those people from the Shen family.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he found someone, the other party had already turned into a corpse.
There were seven people, except for one who had a severed hand and one whose heart was pierced, and the other five were all killed by a single blow.
Naturally, the storage bags on their bodies must have been missing.
It was impossible for him to hide this matter, so he could only go back and report it to the prince of Guanhai.
But what surprised him was that the prince of Guanhai did not punish him this time, but went to the place where the corpses were hidden for inspection. And the final conclusion also made him feel frightened, and even faintly glad that he did not go to this promised place in advance to wait for them, but went there in time, otherwise, maybe even he would die there.
Because of these seven people, six of them died under the unique sword technique of Mu Wangfu.
As we all know, the unique knife technique of Mu Wangfu is the "Eight Desolations and Liuhe Knife Method", which is an extremely domineering and fierce knife technique, which can suppress almost all melee weapons in one-on-one combat. So far, except for the nine great families that are as famous as Mu Wangfu and those big sects and big forces, there are hardly any martial arts outside the door that can compete head-on with this "Eight Desolations and Six Knife Techniques".
No matter how confident the middle-aged man is, he doesn't think that he can compete with the big men of Mu Wangfu who can perform the "Eight Desolations and Six Knife Techniques".
And the other corpse, the corpse with the chest pierced and the heart directly pulled out, was also identified by Qingshan as having a strong filthy corpse gas on it, and there was even a residual ghost dead qi around it, obviously there was an unknown earth-shattering battle here in the stable where the merchant group was stationed.
Based on the speculation of Guanhai Gongzi and Qingshan, it should be that these people from the Shen family accidentally provoked some ghosts, and they were attacked and killed by that ghost. The master of Mu Wangfu should be chasing this ghost, and the six people who died under the sword technique of Mu Wangfu should also be unlucky ghosts who were accidentally involved. After all, with the domineering spirit of the children of Mu Wangfu, they will definitely not care about these wastes with mediocre strength, and naturally they will not have any merciless thoughts when they make a move.
Of course, it is also possible that the strength of the ghost thing is too strong, so that Mu Wangfu disciple does not dare to keep his hand at all.
This is the battle situation that the two of them speculated about.
As for the loss of the items, they believe that someone else, and even the hiding of these corpses is probably done by someone else.
Because Mu Wangfu is one of the nine great families after all, how could he do such an act of looting corpses? Not to mention Mu Wangfu, even a monk with a little background or strength in general, it is impossible to do such a thing. And ghosts have never needed this kind of external objects, especially in the face of a Mu Wangfu disciple chasing and killing, of course they won't, and it is impossible to have time to search for corpses.
After coming to this conclusion, the middle-aged man spent a lot of time investigating the merchant group residence in the Golden City.
In the end, it turned out that there was indeed a little girl and a coffin in the stable that day, but how and when they left afterwards is not clear. Because all the staff of the stable left one after another under the coercion of that Shen family disciple, no one knew what happened later.
So the only one who knew what was going on, or the only one who could have taken those Shen family storage bags, was the little girl.
After that, after inquiry, the middle-aged man learned that the little girl had already left the Golden City with the Zhang family's caravan and came in the direction of Tianshui City. So after receiving the instructions, he immediately led a few people to chase all the way from the Golden City. Although they could almost be said to have been on the road day and night, because it had been a few days since the departure of the Zhang family's caravan, and they had not traded along the way, they were still a step slow when they arrived at the village.
"Chief, the village elder said that the Zhang family's caravan has been away for two days." After inquiring about the situation, a Circle Realm monk immediately came back to report to the middle-aged man.
"Chase." Without the slightest hesitation, the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "The thing that Childe wants is likely to be on that little girl's body, and we must get it back no matter what." Otherwise, we can't explain. ”
"What if the little girl denies it?" Someone else spoke.
"Then it's up to them." The middle-aged man said coldly, "It's just a caravan of the Zhang family, if you really want to compete, I don't mind letting them know the rules." ”
