Chapter 7 Experiencing the Turmoil
A month has passed. Ye Ruochen first cultivated the primary level of the Life and Death Needle Method, so in the following days, although he was on this continent with poor spiritual power, he could quickly absorb more spiritual power, so that the realm could rise relatively quickly.
"Hey, how did you reach the second star of the Spirit Sect, the ascent speed is too slow." Ye Ruochen thought dissatisfied.
If he let others know that he dislikes his slow rise in the realm, he will definitely be looked down upon by a large number of people. Because when the realm is getting higher and higher, it is a genius to be able to grow one star a year.
Ye Ruochen opened the contract and contacted, "Yoyo, how is it, can you find the two of them?" β
"Master, why did you contact me, I found them, but we had some trouble on the way back, we fell into a deep pit when we walked to a mountain range, and then fought with some people, and finally we were all injured, Bishuang Biling rested and healed, who knew that they both disappeared suddenly, and I didn't dare to run around, so I waited in the same place for half a month."
"Yo Yo, don't worry, you can feel if there are any spiritual power fluctuations around you."
"No, alas"
"Well, you leave your divine sense there, just say it and go to Lingxiao Academy to find me, and then you can come back." Ye Ruochen thought to himself that the two of them should have gotten some kind of opportunity, what the master said was really right, this continent has their chances.
"Well, okay. The host waited for me. β
"Trace, are you in there?"
"Well, Xiaoqing, come in." With that, he lifted the barrier with a wave of his hand.
"Xiaoji, you hurry up and pack up, there will be a freshman entrance conference in a while, although there are only three people in our major, it's not good to go late. Well, this is your school uniform, which was supposed to be given to you a long time ago, but when I came to you, I found that you had laid an enchantment, and I thought that you should be in retreat, so I never gave it to you. β
"Well, okay, thank you, I'll leave with you as soon as I'm done."
Ye Ruochen and Guan Xiaoqing arrived at the central square, and the dean had already begun to speak. Because everyone was in a good position, the sudden appearance of the two of them was very abrupt.
"Ruoji, Xiaoqing, here and here." Nanping saw the two of them and waved his hand.
Ye Ruochen and the two walked over in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I just came out of retreat." Ye Ruochen said apologetically to Nanping.
"It's okay, it's okay."
When the person next to her heard this, she turned her head and said to her friend, "It's still in retreat, a freshman who has just entered the school is still in retreat, thinking that he is a genius, and he is sure that he is greedy for fun and forgets the time." β
"What do you say, it's not a small trace." Guan Xiaoqing said unevenly for Ye Ruochen
"Xiaoqing, forget it, they can say whatever they like."
"But, little marks."
"It's okay, it's okay, and it's not going to drop a piece of meat."
On the stage, the dean said to Situ Yin, "Xiaoqing's side is the student you accepted as an exception?" β
"Yes."
"It looks good, not arrogant or impatient." Then the dean said loudly, "I called everyone here today to inform you that it has been almost two months since you entered the school, and it is time to conduct an assessment, the location of the assessment is in the secret realm of the mountain behind the college, and the assessment is judged by the point system, and the assessment item is to hunt monsters to collect magic cores, one point for the first-level magic core, three points for the second-level magic core, five points for the third-level magic core, ten points for the fourth-level magic core, fifteen points for the fifth level, twenty points for the sixth level, thirty points for the seventh level, fifty points for the eighth level, and one hundred points for the ninth level. Everyone has to do what they can, and after a while, they will distribute badges to everyone, the role of this badge is to store magic cores, and when everyone feels dangerous, they will immediately smash the badge, and everyone will be automatically sent out, but the achievements you have accumulated before will be reduced by half, which is also a warning to everyone, don't be overwhelmed. In addition, there are additional points, that is, to find these three herbs, fairy dew fruit, rejuvenating grass, and spirit wood, each of which is 150 points, which can be stacked. Those who place first in the assessment can go to the meditation pagoda to practice for one month, and will be given a five-grade high-grade elixir. The time to enter the secret realm is 10 days, and you will set off tomorrow, so don't be late. Okay, let's all disperse. Ahem, the two students who were late just now stayed. β
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion, "Look, look, I was arrogant and late shortly after I entered school, and it seems that I am going to be punished." "That's it, where did you get the confidence, even the royal family humbly gave our academy three points." "Hey, see for yourselves how beautiful that woman looks." "That's right, the dean was speaking on the stage at that time, and he didn't dare to look carefully, this is even more beautiful than Chu Youran." "I'll just say how Chu Youran's follower was angry with her just now, it turned out to be jealous." "Hehe, Chu Youran's title of the first beauty can be regarded as a change, and I don't know where she is from, she is so beautiful and has no name." "I guess it's from some backwood."
The dean also vaguely heard the following discussions, "You guys don't leave yet, do you want to go to the cliff and think about how to work hard tomorrow?" Immediately the crowd dispersed.
Ye Ruochen and the others walked to Situ Yin's side and said to the dean, "I'm sorry dean, I really just came out of retreat, Xiaoqing was also late for me, and I didn't know that there was going to be a conference today!" β
"I didn't mean to say what you meant, I just wanted to see what the apprentice who could make an exception for Situ look like." The dean looked at Ye Ruochen with a smile, but his spiritual power was suppressed.
Ye Ruochen reacted immediately and immediately resisted with his mental power, and after a while, the dean withdrew his spiritual power, but Ye Ruochen was already sweating profusely.
"The mental power is not bad, are you interested in learning alchemy?" The dean looked at Ye Ruochen with a smile.
"Old man Feng, did you come to me to dig the foot of the wall?" Situ Yin glanced at him.
"Hehe, you also know, there are few students with good mental strength, I only have one student in total now, she is very lonely, do you say Zhihan."
A female student with a delicate face and a birthmark on the left side of her face, but her dark and shining eyes didn't feel that the birthmark was so conspicuous at all The female student walked up to the dean, raised her eyes to look at Ye Ruochen, and thought to herself, "Why do you have a sense of awe when you see her?" It's weird. β
"What Master said is that Zhihan is very boring alone." Master seems to like her a lot.
"Master, she has a divine fire in her." Yu Jiu said.
Ye Ruochen's eyes looking at him became complicated, am I going to snatch her? I feel good about her, how can I do this, well, just keep her around.
On the other side, Shui Zhihan's contract beast also transmitted a message to her, "Master, this person is very dangerous. β
"Why?" Shui Zhihan questioned.
"Because she is attracted to Shenhuo, and Shenhuo is a little afraid of her, but I can't feel the existence of Shenhuo in her."
"Well, I see, I'll take notice." In this way, it is better to keep her by your side, preferably as a friend, and if she is an enemy, she will be in trouble.
"Ruoji, are you willing to refine medicine?" Situ Yin asked
"Ruoji has no talent for alchemy, thank you Dean for your love. But I like Shui Zhihan very much and want to be friends with her. β
"Okay, okay, I won't force you, old man, cheap Situ kid."
"Grandpa Feng, the little trace was originally accepted by the teacher first."
"Guan girl, don't tell the truth if you're fine." It turned out that Guan Xiaoqing's grandfather and the dean had been friends for many years, so they were very kind.
There was no expected punishment, but we chatted very kindly for a while.
On the second day, all the freshmen gathered at the entrance of the back mountain, but strangely even the intermediate and advanced students came.
"Xiaoqing, why are those people here too?"
"Of course, it's to look at the two famous people."
βοΌβ Ye Ruochen's face was full of question marks.
"Needless to say, Shui Zhihan was already a sensation when she entered the school, but she hasn't appeared since then, and she has been in retreat. Another one is naturally you, it is difficult for our teachers to accept students, not to mention that you did not enter the school at the normal time, and you were late that day, and you were not punished. The most important thing is, na, look, the person over there who is wearing white clothes, has a proud temperament, and has a beautiful face, she is Chu Youran. You've squeezed her out of the number one beauty. Naturally, everyone is going to come and see you. Speaking of which, our session is really amazing, Chu Youran was originally the first beauty on the first day, but now he has been compared. After saying that, he covered his mouth and snickered.
"Cut, I'm not a vase, I'm also very strong."
"Yes, yes, my little mark is the most powerful. By the way, I heard that the second prince Ling Yanlie also participated in the training this time. β
"Second prince?"
"Yes, I heard that he has been a student of the academy for a long time, but he has not come to the academy since he registered, and he has always gone out to practice by himself, and he has recently come back and officially enrolled in the school."
"Hey, one more competitor, if you exceed the second prince, you won't be punished, right?"
"Little trace, are you thinking too much?"
"Really? Hahaha. β
"Waka, can I join you?" Shui Zhihan walked over.
"Absolutely."
"Gee, it's great that you're with us, it's so much less dangerous." Guan Xiaoqing almost clapped her hands.
"I won't be lonely with you." After speaking, he looked at Ye Ruochen for a while, and then the two laughed at the same time.
"What do you two mean?" Guan Xiaoqing said and stomped her feet.
"By the way, Zhihan will introduce you to you, this is Nanping, a student of our major."
"Hello." Shui Zhihan nodded to Nan Ping.
"I have admired the daimyo for a long time." Nan Ping said blandly.
"Nanping is a dull person, everyone is not surprised." Guan Xiaoqing said happily.
Although Ye Ruochen was chatting here, his spiritual power was radiating, and he was always paying attention to the movements around him, and he really found an interesting news.
"Leisurely, you see that the two of them are really the same dog."
"Qiu Wen, don't be prejudiced against them, after all, you haven't done anything bad."
"Oh? You're right, but if you do, you'll ......," and whispered.
It looks like they're going to make a move, they're really restless.
"The dean is here," someone shouted, and then the audience fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you all ready?"
"Ready."
"Okay, then let's go." After saying that, several elders collectively cast spells, and the door of the secret realm opened.
About five hundred people entered the secret realm together, "Look, isn't that the second prince?" β
"Is that him?"
"Zhihan, do you know?"
"No, it's just that I passed through a forest before I entered the school and inadvertently fought with him for something and got it."
"He doesn't look very good either."
"Don't underestimate him, I had someone else to help me then." After saying that, he entered the memory, and his cheeks were a light crimson.
"Zhihan, you can't think of the man who came to the academy with you and made the dean awe-inspiring." Guan Xiaoqing gossiped
"Oh? What's going on? β
"Xiaoji, you came late, I don't know something, Zhihan is not only talented, but also seems to be very powerful, that man is handsome. But it seems that for some reason, he left, this should be the one Zhihan knows best, many people saw the farewell scene that day, and they were reluctant. β
"Xiaoqing, you are talking nonsense, we all have our own things to do. But I'll admit it, he's my man. β
"So happy, Zhihan, who is your man, is he a person worthy of trust, what is it called?" Ye Ruochen was also interested in gossip
"He's ...... People from other places have profound strength, so I have to work hard to cultivate so that I am qualified to stand by his side, since he is what I recognize, he is worthy of trust, his name is Xuanyuan Hao. β
"Xuanyuan Hao?" Is it the little brother, or is it just the same name? But he probably wouldn't have come to such a remote place.
"yes, what? Do you know him? β
"No, no, when are you going to take us to meet him?"
"I'll see."
"Everyone is almost gone, let's hurry up, we can't lose."
Ye Ruochen and his group of four people walked forward, and they also hunted a lot of third- and fourth-level demonic beasts along the way.
Just finished hunting a group of fifth-level unicorns, "We're really lucky, and everything we meet is quite easy to hunt." Guan Xiaoqing said happily while holding the crystal nucleus.
"It's not all Ruoji and Zhihan, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find it so easily. It's really good to have strong mental strength, but it's a pity that it's innate. Nanping finally said so many words, and it seemed that he had been infected by Guan Xiaoqing in the past three days.
"That's right, so how should we divide it? After all, the assessment results are considered individuals, not groups. Guan Xiaoqing said distressedly.
"Deuce." Ye Ruochen and Shui Zhihan said in unison.
"Hehe, I think all the encounters we encountered in the first seven days will be divided equally, and the next three days will be separated. The four of us also compete to see who is lucky. β
"That's what I thought, too." Shui Zhihan agreed.
"Okay, then let's hurry up, I want to get more in the next few days, or I may not get any in the next three days." Guan Xiaoqing was depressed.
After spending another four days in peace, Ye Ruochen wondered in his heart, what was Chu Youran's plan? Why didn't you take action for so many days?
"Let's all be separated today, everyone should be more careful, Xiaoqing, you are the lowest in our realm, you must pay attention to safety."
"Well, Anla, An, Xiaoji, you have to work hard, and strive to win the first place."
"Well, Zhihan, our competition has begun, and I won't show mercy!"
"Haha, that's right, we're each other. After saying that, he quickly disappeared.
"Nanping also has to work hard. I'm leaving. β
"You have to be careful." Nanping said with concern.
"Nanping, do you like small marks?" Guan Xiaoqing asked shyly.
"If it weren't for Brother Tanglin asking me to take care of you, I wouldn't have bothered to join you."
"I've asked you, what are you doing elsewhere, you hurry up."
Nanping was silent......
Ye Ruochen walked aimlessly, but found that the more he walked, the quieter the surroundings became, as if there was no life.
"Master, I feel the breath of spirit wood, and it is a 10,000-year-old spirit wood." Doll said
"In that direction?"
"In the northeast direction"
"Great, do you think I'm so lucky, I can meet the 10,000-year-old spirit wood just by walking around." Not far away, I saw a small black and translucent square hanging on a small twig bud, it should be the spirit wood, Ye Ruochen was about to step forward to get it.
"Master, wait a minute, take it off when it is in full bloom, and keep it in the jade box, so that it is really a 10,000-year-old spirit wood."
"Good"
Just when Ye Ruochen was about to fall asleep, the light suddenly shone brightly.
"It's now." The doll said urgently. Ye Ruochen immediately refreshed, rushed to the spirit wood, took it off and put it in the jade box. But while picking it, it felt as if it had been stung by something, and in an instant, Ye Ruojian's spiritual space began to collapse.
"Doll, what's going on, why is my mental space like this."
"This ......"
"Oh no, the master was stung by a soul wasp." Yu Jiu appeared, and immediately forced out the tail thorn on Ye Ruojian's hand.
"Ah~" Ye Ruochen now had a splitting headache, and fainted to the ground in an instant.
"Yu Jiu, Yu Jiu, what can I do about this."
Yu Jiu looked at the small twig bud that was about to wither, instantly got up and plucked it, and came to Ye Ruojian's side. "Doll, you guard this area."
"The doll knows."
Yu Jiu changed back into the body of the piano, and a melodious refuge resounded when he remembered that the small branch bud floated on the side of Ye Ruochen's mouth, and a drop of crystal clear green liquid dripped into Ye Ruojian's mouth, and the small branch bud instantly turned into powder, but the music surrounded it, and slowly moved to the place where Ye Ruochen was stung and covered and absorbed. After doing this, Yu Jiu recovered his body, but his face turned pale at this time.
"Yu Jiu, how are you, how is the master." The doll asked worriedly.
"Everything depends on the master's creation." After saying that, Yu Jiu changed and turned into the body of the piano for cultivation, if the master did not lose his memory, it would be good to seal the divine power.
At this time, Ye Ruochen was in the dark, "Doll, Yujiu, where are you?" "Where is this? At this moment, the space changed instantly, and an ethereal fairyland appeared, as if a pair of lovers were in the flowers, the woman in white was playing the piano, and the man in white was dancing the sword, and the two were like fairy couples. The picture changed instantly, and a woman in pink slapped the woman in white who was playing the piano just now, and said, "Seduce my fiancΓ©, I don't think you want to live." Hurry up and fuck me off, or the next time I see you will be your death. The woman in white looked haggard and her eyes were empty, and she muttered, "It's not true, you won't bear me." The picture turned again, it was a red palace, a couple of newlyweds were at the wedding ceremony, the man was handsome, and the woman was flawless, it was the man in white and the woman in pink. Suddenly, the woman in white broke into the palace: "You really bear me." β
The bride said softly, "Husband, what's the matter with her?" β
The man's face was gloomy and he didn't reply to his mother's words, but said sharply to the woman in white below, "This is not where you should be, go back to where you should go, there is no fate between you and me." β
"Hehe, there is no fate, you are a liar, from now on we will be passers-by, and we will never get along with each other." Outside the temple, a bolt of lightning struck the door of the temple.
The picture turned again, it was a battlefield full of corpses, and there was still a fierce fight, only to see a silver gun about to pierce a man's chest, the woman in white flew to block it, the woman in white slowly turned a large red on her chest, and the man held the woman in white and yelled. I only heard the woman say lightly, "I don't want to meet you again in the next life, so that I can live happily, and we will let each other go." Then nothing could be heard.
At this time, Ye Ruochen was actually heartbroken, as if he had experienced it himself. With a bang, Ye Ruochen's spiritual space completely collapsed, but it was reorganized, and the spiritual space was sublimated, and he officially entered the small consummation.
"Master, master, wake up, Yujiu can't hold on, master." Ye Ruochen heard the doll whispering in his ear.
Ye Ruochen woke up slowly, raised his eyes and saw a large group of wasps surrounding him, "What's going on?" β
"Master, great, you're awake."
"What's going on with the doll?"
"A lot of soul wasps are coming, it seems that they want to snatch the spirit wood."
"Then let's hurry into the space and take refuge."
"No, master, due to the last time I forcibly brought Bishuang Biling in, the space entered a dormant state, and people can't enter. Only when the power of the master's space reaches the fifth layer can the master enter, and the master has only reached the second layer now. β
"Is this the space that doesn't recognize me?" Ye Ruochen thought to himself, it's still a very temperamental space.
"Master, this ......, the space doesn't recognize you, but the doll recognizes you."
At this time, Yu Jiu's protective cover was completely shattered, and a huge buzzing sound quickly sounded in his ears.
"Yujiu, come." Yu Jiu immediately turned into the body of the piano and flew towards Ye Ruochen, Ye Ruochen sat cross-legged, stroked the body of the piano with both hands, played the hunting song, and instantly the body was full of killing intent, his hair was flying, his eyes changed from crystal black to blue that confused his mind, and his spiritual power filled the body of the piano. Countless soul wasps fell, but countless more soul wasps flew in.
"As long as you leave the spirit wood behind, this beast lord will let you go."
"You treat me as a fool, I killed so many of your children and grandchildren, it's strange that you can let me go. There's something that goes into my pocket, and you want me to hand it over, you're dreaming. β
"Then you will suffer death."
Ye Ruochen killed wave after wave, but it seemed that he could never finish killing, Ye Ruochen thought that he had to solve the beast king, life and death needle, yes, now he can only fight, otherwise his spiritual power and spiritual power will be consumed sooner or later. Ye Ruochen forcibly used the intermediate needle method, and the silver needle was dispatched instantly, everything depends on his own creation, if it is good, it is to solve the beast king, and if it is bad, it is to boost the beast power of the beast king. Suddenly, the beast king's beast power increased greatly, Ye Ruochen thought to himself, it seems that he is going to explain here! But before the beastmaster could be happy, he suddenly exploded and died! At the same time, Ye Ruochen came to his mind, reaching the intermediate level of the Life and Death Needle Method. Then the remaining soul wasps also fell, and the world suddenly became quiet.
Ye Ruochen raised his eyes and looked at the ground, densely packed with the corpses of soul wasps, it was too disgusting.
"Doll, you go collect their cores."
"Master, why am I going?"
"Because you didn't do anything just now, we're both physically and mentally exhausted now!"
"Master, can you not go, it's disgusting."
"That's good, you don't want to come out again in the future, you can't help anything anyway."
"Okay, okay, I'll go." Then he whispered, "If I hadn't sensed the spirit wood, would the master have been able to find it?" β
"Ahem, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have suffered this calamity."
"Master, I'll go right away." Flew away with a thud. Ye Ruochen rested on the spot and consolidated his mental strength and acupuncture skills.
"Master, you see, there are so many beast cores, although they are all three or four levels, but the beast king's is actually nine levels." The doll said excitedly.
"No wonder it has to get the Spirit Wood, it should want to be promoted to a holy beast." Yu Jiu said.
Suddenly, there was a white light in the south.
"Master, I feel the breath of divine fire there."
"Let's go." As he spoke, he quickly ran south.
