In the silent and barren landscape, time passes day after day.

Bei Ye knelt elegantly in front of the statue, his magnificent face was flat, and he was quietly cultivating with his eyes closed, making the evil feeling of belonging to the demon clan much less.

There was a miserable white bone sword stuck in his side, and if you looked closely, you would see that there was a faint red light flowing inside. The floor of the temple was paved with solid rock, but it pierced through most of it as easily as tofu. If it weren't for the horizontal sword bones to support it, I'm afraid the entire sword would have to sink into the ground.

Beiye has been cultivating in this way for ninety-nine days, and when Mu Shi entered the altar that day, the idol refused to enter. However, Beiye didn't worry about Mu Shi's life, so he didn't force it, and sat in the temple while cultivating while waiting for Mu Shi to come out.

That's three months.

Because of the influence of the life and death contract, Beiye can receive the simultaneous benefit of Mu Shi's strength improvement, and during this time, he was also forcibly promoted by one level, which made Beiye secretly surprised. It stands to reason that the sharing of life and death contracts will only work when there is a leap between each big class, for example, the promotion of the North Night to the emperor will give Mu Shi great benefits.

Because at this time, it is the energy of heaven and earth that is inexhaustible, so that the power of the contract can be triggered.

However, Beiye clearly felt that although Mu Shi's strength was improving, he was not strong enough to break through to the level of the Dharma King, and after thinking about it, he could only blame it on the perversion of the Lu Shi clan.

You must know that Beiye is now an emperor-level powerhouse, and each level of improvement requires extremely terrifying energy accumulation, if you don't use unconventional means, it will be difficult to improve the first order for ten years.

Mu Shi's bloodline awakening helped Beiye save a decade, and it's no wonder that Beiye lamented the perversion of the Lishi clan. However, Beiye also sensed that Mu Shi had been suffering from pain, and knew that this strength was not easy to come by.

Today is the hundredth day.

The scene outside is like spring all year round, making it difficult to distinguish the season. The mild sunlight hit the graves in the fields, and it looked more gloomy and cold.

The figure in the temple, like a round of death, waits day after day.

Finally, the idol's eyes began to glow. It was only a faint little at first, but it became brighter and brighter as time went on. Finally, both eyes were filled with a brilliant silver light.

The eyelashes that drooped down in the northern night trembled slightly, and then flapped gently like the wings of a butterfly, revealing a pair of dark red peach blossom eyes. He looked up at the idol, smiled faintly, got up and took a few steps back, and his movements were so smooth that he couldn't tell that he had been kneeling for a hundred days.

There was so much silver light that it was about to surge out of the eyes of the idol, and after reaching a critical point of silence for a moment, it seemed that it could not be held back, and a silver ray shot out towards the northern night.

The silver light fell in front of Bei Ye, quickly distorting the space, and a black spatial vortex. Beiye looked at it with interest for a while, and took a few steps back again.

The spatial vortex surged for a moment, and then suddenly shuddered violently, highlighting an unidentified object.

Bei Ye looked like he had already prepared, and stretched out his hand to catch the thing he spit out, the weight was not low, which made Bei Ye's whole arm sink a little, and he had to hold it up again.

The spatial vortex slowly dissipated after spitting out, and the temple regained its calm.

What is in the arms of the North Night is a person, more figuratively, a human-shaped object. The whole body and hands are covered with a layer of black and red blood scabs, and it is impossible to see the appearance of people at all.

Beiye didn't dislike it at all, his eyes looked at the face in the crook of his arm for a moment, and even lowered his head and kissed it, and said in a low voice, "It's hard work." ”

By the time Mu Shi came to his senses, it was already night. The warm light of the fire enveloped him, driving away the coldness of the night. Mu Shi moved his body, and suddenly felt that his skin was tight and very uncomfortable.

"Are you awake?" The deep voice was so familiar, but it felt like I hadn't heard it for a long time, Mu Shi recalled the painful time of days and nights, his body shivered slightly, and he responded in a low voice.

"I've checked your body and there's nothing wrong with it. And ......" Bei Ye paused, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, "Congratulations, you are now a Sixth-Order Venerable. ”

"Sixth Order?" Mu Shi was stunned, although he knew that with the blessing of the origin of the eight elders, his strength might improve by leaps and bounds, but he never expected that he would be able to skip the sixth rank in an instant, which was even more terrifying than the benefits that Beiye brought to the emperor level.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually very reasonable, this is the origin energy of the eight king-level powerhouses, or the people of the Lishi clan who have the same root and origin as Mu Shi. If it weren't for the fact that skipping too many grades would lead to a vain foundation, the elders would even want Mu Shi to become a big fat man in one go.

"I'm also curious, what happened to your awakening, and even took me up a level." Bei Ye said with interest, and walked over to help Mu Shi up, "But the most important thing now is that you first clean up the blood scabs on your body." ”

was reminded by Beiye, Mu Shi finally noticed the reason for the tightness of his skin. With an exclamation, Mu Shi stood up in disgust, and just wanted to directly twist a water magic cleansing, but suddenly thought that Beiye was on the side, and walked silently behind the statue with a red face. Fortunately, his face was also covered with blood scabs, and he couldn't tell what his complexion was.

Kitaya sat by the fire, holding the fire with a branch and digging it out for a while, while holding his head to look at the aqua blue splendor that came out from behind the idol.

"The power of the elements is getting more and more mellow......" Bei Ye commented to himself, Mu Shi's progress this time was obvious.

After picking off all the blood scabs on his body and cleaning them and changing his clothes, Mu Shi walked out by touching the skin of his face with a strange face.

After hearing the movement, Beiye gathered his gaze, and when he saw the person who came out, he was also distracted for a moment.

Perhaps because of the awakening of the bloodline, the current Mu Shi has faded away from his original youthful and lovely image, and his facial features are more like the bright and magnificent that the Lu Shi clan should have. After the blood scab fades, the new skin is as soft and smooth as a baby, and there is a faint layer of luster, which you can't put down when you look at it.

The slender but not thin figure, with a white skirt, is an ethereal aura between walks.

"Ahem." Mu Shi was a little embarrassed to be stared at by the northern night, pretended to cough twice, touched his face and said stupidly, "Have you become very unaccustomed?" ”

Bei Ye smiled, stood up and walked in front of Mu Shi, gently stroked Mu Shi's other face and looked at it carefully, "No, it just feels like I grew up overnight." ”

"I'm not too young. I'm eighteen. Mu Shi protested.

"No, it's nineteen." Beiye corrected Mu Shi's mistake, and in Mu Shi's somewhat stunned eyes, he conjured a bracelet out of nowhere, held Mu Shi's hand and put it on, and a gentle and deep voice sounded in Mu Shi's ears, "Happy birthday." ”

This bracelet is very beautiful, the whole body is glass-like gold, like a medicine fire in Mushi, and the red gems are embellished among it, but it is difficult for Beiye to know where to find it.

Mu Shi blinked, suppressed the waves in his heart, and touched the bracelet with some surprise, "Is today my birthday?" ”

Bei Ye used the fire element in his hand to dry Mu Shi's damp long hair, pinned a strand of dry broken hair behind his ear before replying, "You have entered a hundred days, and your birthday was actually a month ago, so I can only make up for you." ”

"I don't remember it myself." Mu Shi smiled, raised his wrist to watch for a while, took the initiative to reach out and hug Beiye's neck, and said sincerely, "Thank you." ”

"I'll remember it later." Beiye wrapped his arms around Mu Shi's waist and responded with a light smile.

"I'm ashamed of you." Mu Shi's expression was stupid, she didn't know Beiye's birthday, and she never asked, and she didn't have a birthday in her previous life. This feeling is the first time, and I have to say that Mu Shi likes this warm feeling very much.

"Then I'll remind you later, you have to prepare something for me." Beiye hooked his lips slightly, revealing a calculating smile.

"Okay." Mu Shi, who felt that he was at a loss, nodded, and after a while, he felt that something was wrong, "No, I feel like I've suffered a loss?" ”

"Is there one?"

"Yes!"

After a fight, the two calmed down, and after Mu Shi told Beiye what happened in the altar, Beiye was also embarrassed.

"It seems that your elder is quite sane, if he really stuffs all the origin energy into you, it will be difficult for you to make an inch of progress in this life." Bei Ye talked about business, and his face calmed down. Mu Shi heard his tone so serious, and there was a chill behind him, "It's not so serious, is it?" ”

Bei Ye glanced at Mu Shi, "After all, it is the blessing of external forces, if you directly break through to the Dharma King, what do you think you will be vain?" ”

Mu Shi thought for a while, and then lost his voice.

"Your elder is also smart, and he feels that you are the best at elemental power, and gives you the wind and fire that you are best at and the gentlest gold wood to avoid direct conflict." Beiye's tone was obviously relieved, "The remaining four, the conflict between light and darkness is too great, and the water and soil are not very suitable, I suggest that you next rely on your own steady absorption of energy to cultivate to the Dharma King, and then absorb the remaining four." ”

"Okay." Mu Shi nodded and agreed very simply. In terms of cultivation, Beiye is still much stronger than himself, and he is indeed his own teacher.

"It's been a long time since we've been away, the space here is closed, and we don't know what the outside world is like, so we'll rest for the night tonight, and we'll want to go out tomorrow." Beiye thought about it and said.

"Well, I'm also worried, I didn't expect it to take so long." Mu Shi sighed lightly and swept around the empty temple, "Grandpa Meng's corpse ......"

"I have buried him in the field, and I think he also wants to return with his people." Beiye looked at the door, with a hint of sigh in his tone.

"I think so too." After hearing this, Mu Shi thought of what happened to the Lishi clan, and couldn't help but feel sad, and his head leaned on Beiye's shoulder and looked at the statue in a daze, "Thank you, Beiye." ”
