In the early morning of the next day, in the Qingyu River on the outskirts of Yijing City, there was a delicate young man floating on the clear water, his eyes slightly closed, allowing the flowing water to wash his body.

After a long time, Yechen opened his eyes and sniffed carefully on his body, "After soaking all night, the smell is finally gone." ”

Last night, after using the stinky liquid, Yechen never encountered a beast again, and successfully swam out of Wuling Mountain from the Qingyu River as planned. Ye Chen was going to go home directly, but found that the stench on his body still did not dissipate, and in desperation, Ye Chen had to soak in the river all night.

"I can finally go back. Yechen sighed, looking very tired, to avoid being swept away by the river, he almost didn't sleep all night.

Ye Chen turned over, swam to the shore with all his might, wiped the water on his face, and sorted out the clothes on his body by the way, so that he didn't look so embarrassed, before walking towards Yijing City.

The people in the city have already started their new day, and the market is full of people.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Ye Chen smelled the rich aroma of rice, and after being hungry all night, his stomach suddenly "growled" a few times.

At this time, her mother Liu Rubing came out of the kitchen with a big bowl of fragrant rice porridge, "I'm back, why did I get soaked?"

"Something happened, I'm going to take a shower, you guys eat first. Ye Chen smiled, put down his backpack and walked to the back room.

When Yechen changed into clean clothes and returned to the living room, in addition to her mother Liu Rubing, there was a cute little girl of five or six years old on the dining table, with two pigtails on her head, drinking rice porridge in small sips.

"Brother. Seeing that the night morning came, the little girl called sweetly.

"Well, eat quickly. Ye Chen smiled at his sister, then picked up the steamed buns on the table and ate one in two or three bites.

"Eat slowly, don't choke. Liu Rubing said: "If it's not enough, there is still a kitchen." ”

"That's enough to eat. Ye Chen nodded, and quickly wiped out the steamed buns and rice porridge on the table.

"I'm full. Ye Chen wiped his mouth with satisfaction, then took out a wooden box from his body and pushed it to Liu Rubing, "Mother, take a look, this is the blood source fruit I picked back." ”

Liu Rubing picked up the wooden box, and as soon as she opened the lid, a refreshing fruity fragrance suddenly wafted out, permeating the entire room.

"It's delicious, it's definitely delicious. As soon as she smelled this fragrance, the little girl immediately smashed her mouth, her eyes staring directly at the Blood Source Fruit, and she didn't blink.

Liu Rubing nodded with satisfaction, closed the lid of the box, and smiled at Ye Chen: "No wonder you insist on going into the mountains to pick it, I have indeed never seen such a good quality blood source fruit." ”

"Of course, the first time I saw that Blood Cordyceps, I knew that the Blood Fruit it produced was anything but ordinary. Ye Chen said proudly: "That blood-derived cordyceps seems to be preparing to evolve, which is why the spiritual power of this blood-derived fruit is so abundant. ”

"Evolution, how do you see it?" Liu Rubing was a little surprised.

"It's not me, it's the Celestial Shadow who sees it. Ye Chen scratched his head and said.

At this time, my sister came over, pulled Yechen's sleeve and said, "Brother, can you give me this?"

Ye Chen squatted down, looked at his sister's big watery eyes, and said softly: "Xiao Ling, you can't eat this fruit, otherwise your stomach will swell and hurt." ”

"Really?" Ye Xiaoling was also a little scared when she heard that her stomach hurt.

"Of course, when did my brother deceive Xiaoling. Ye Chen smiled and patted his sister's little face.

"Then I'll eat a little, just a little, so it won't hurt. Ye Xiaoling crooked her neck and thought for a while, and said carefully.

"Okay, just a little. Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to agree.

"Mother, look ......," Ye Chen got up and said.

"I hear you. You're going to get used to your sister. Liu Rubing smiled, and said to Ye Xiaoling: "Not more, just a little." ”

"Hmm. Ye Xiaoling nodded immediately.

"Chen'er, I see that your mental state is not very good, go and sleep, this baptism liquid is not something that can be prepared in a while. Liu Rubing looked at Ye Chen again and said.

"Got it. Ye Chen nodded, bent down and touched his sister's little head, and said, "Xiaoling, my brother is too tired now, I'll play with you when I wake up, okay?"

"Good. Ye Xiaoling nodded obediently.

After a busy half a night, and a sleepless night, Ye Chen was already physically and mentally exhausted, and couldn't wait to go back to the room to sleep.

When Yechen opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside the window, and when he got up to wash up, he found that it was just in time for dinner at home.

"Brother, look. Ye Xiaoling came to Ye Chen with a glass of clear red juice as if offering a treasure.

"Well, it's so fragrant, isn't it delicious?" Although it was a little light, Ye Chen knew that it was the smell of blood fruit as soon as he smelled it.

"Delicious. Ye Xiaoling said with a smile.

"You can't drink too much if it's delicious, you know?" Ye Chen said as she smiled and scratched her sister's nose and pulled her back to the dining table.

"Where's my father, hasn't he come back yet?" asked Ye Chen, looking around.

"The fog of Wuling Mountain has lifted, and your father has gone with the city lord to investigate. Liu Rubing said.

"When did the fog lift?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.

"It is said that it began to disperse in the second half of the night yesterday, and this morning the Wuling Mountain has completely returned to its original appearance twenty years ago. Liu Rubing said.

In the second half of the night, Yechen was stunned all of a sudden, wouldn't that be when he and Lin Tianying were separated.

Could it be that this twenty-year-long fog blockade is just to find that cave? But isn't that cave nothing but blood-derived cordyceps? Could it be a high-level spirit insect buried under blood-derived cordyceps? This is impossible, or there is an enchantment in the cave, so he didn't see it, so Skyshadow wants to find a helper?

Ye Chen's mind suddenly flashed thousands of possibilities, but unfortunately none of them could be proven, for a moment Ye Chen even thought about discussing this matter with his mother, but seeing his mother's calm appearance, Ye Chen was a little suspicious that his mother also knew the truth of the fog, so he was so calm.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly wanted to confirm the matter with his mother, but he quickly thought of Lin Tianying's embarrassed appearance before, and his mother didn't seem to have the slightest intention of continuing to discuss this matter, Ye Chen swallowed the words that came to his lips stiffly.

Sure enough, throughout the dinner time, her mother Liu Rubing didn't take the initiative to mention this matter again, and Yechen had an answer in her heart.

After the meal, Liu Rubing put the two vials on the table, handed them to Ye Chen, and instructed: "These two bottles of baptismal elixir, one bottle is used for medicinal baths, and the other bottle is taken directly." Remember, be sure to fully accuse yourself to the medicated bath before taking another bottle of elixir. ”

"But shouldn't you be baptized at the same time?" asked Ye Chen.

"The blood source fruit you brought back is very powerful, far beyond the ordinary blood source fruit, use it as the main ingredient to prepare these two bottles of baptism elixir, if you use it at the same time, I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear it. Liu Rubing explained.

"In addition, you can't pass out during the baptism, you must stay conscious, if you really can't bear it, you will stop the baptism, and you must not joke with your own life, understand?" Speaking of the back, Liu Rubing's tone also became serious.

"Understood. Ye Chen nodded earnestly.

Ye Chen put away the spiritual liquid and did not go to the baptism immediately, but played with his sister Ye Xiaoling for a long time, and it was not until Ye Xiaoling should go to sleep that he returned to the room to prepare for the baptism.

Ye Chen took out the bath bucket that had been prepared long ago, filled it with hot water, and poured one of the bottles of spiritual liquid into it, the originally clear and transparent water instantly turned blood red, Ye Chen took off his clothes and sat naked in the potion.
