Walking out of the shop, Ye Bai turned around, and walked towards the front yard, a moment later, a majestic and wide square appeared in front of him, the ground was all bronze pouring, carved with all kinds of birds and monsters, lifelike, countless, a railing completely carved from white marble surrounded the whole square, at a glance, under the railing, pedestrians hurried by, but no one dared to step on that square step, as if there was some taboo there.

In the center of this huge white marble square, there is a lonely quaint pavilion, the eaves are spread like bird wings, a total of five floors, standing below and looking at it, only feel a heavy thick and simple atmosphere spontaneously arises, no matter who stands in this building, will involuntarily feel a tremor from the soul, that feeling as if the head is oppressing a mountain, all the disciples who passed by there all detoured, showing envy, yearning, reverence, but no one dared to offend.

This is the Ye family's Xuanwu Pavilion, the Ye family's collection of Xuanqi cultivation exercises for hundreds of years, countless powerful Xuanwu techniques, all put in it, and these Xuanwu techniques are the foundation of the Ye family's foothold in Huoyun City, every year, Xuanwu Pavilion is only open for three days, and the rest of the time is all closed, and the entire Xuanwu Pavilion is said to have been banned by a full ninety-nine eighty-one people, once anyone sets foot in that square without permission, the ban will be triggered immediately, and there is no place to die!

There, it is the center of the Ye family, even if it is the head of the Ye family, if he does not get the consent of the elders, he will not be able to enter it privately, it can be seen that the rules of the Xuanwu Pavilion are strict, and at the same time, it is also the place where the people of the Ye family, from the head of the family to the ordinary disciples of the outer sect such as Ye Bai, are most eager to enter.

Three months later, the Ye family's exchange ceremony was held there, and all the Ye family's outer sect disciples, as long as the family's contribution points were sufficient, could enter it, and exchange the contribution points they had accumulated for a mystery, mystical technique.

At that time of year, it is also the time when the Ye family is the most lively and boiling, and waiting for this day, Ye Bai has been waiting for three years!

――Just to have a chance to enter it one day!

Stopped, stood there, looking up at this ancient pavilion that had been stormy for a hundred years, Ye Bai's heart was mixed, and he didn't know what it was like for a while, his fingers subconsciously touched the inscription card in his arms, and after a long time, Ye Bai suddenly turned his head, dragged heavy steps, and left here step by step.

Far bypassing the solemn and majestic Ye family's outer courtyard in front, passing through a dark and old alley, and finally coming to a row of low and dilapidated houses, Ye Bai pushed open one of the wooden doors and walked in, it was completely dark outside, and the oil lamp was lit.

The room was extremely simple, except for a wooden bed and a wooden table, there was nothing, Ye Bai closed the door, walked to the bed, thought about it, suddenly bent down, lifted the corner of the bed, there, there was a small dark grid, Ye Bai stretched out his hand, took out a piece of wood, his eyes fell on a small black bag below, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

Stretched out his hand to pick up the black bag and opened it, there were three pieces of strange ore lying in it that were exactly the same as the ones handed over to Ye Lao just now, the color was red, the black was purple, and there seemed to be a faint flow of mercury in the middle, and the cold air was overflowing, it was the cold light and strange iron.

What Ye Bai didn't tell the old man was that what he got was not actually a piece of Cold Light Strange Iron, but a whole four, however, he didn't know what it was beforehand, so he took a piece to Ye Lao, just to probe the mouth, but after hearing in Ye Lao's mouth that these pieces of iron didn't seem to be anything special, and it turned out to be a third-order ore Cold Light Strange Iron, he immediately made up his mind, unless it was a last resort, or until he had enough strength to ensure their safety, he would never let anyone know that he still had three pieces of Cold Light Strange Iron on his body。

As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, Ye Bai deeply understands this truth, Hanguang Qitie is enough to refine a necessary material for refining middle-level Xuan soldiers, this kind of thing is rare even in the entire Ye family, if once people know, they are only afraid of causing a strange disaster, their own strength is low, and they have no strong backers, they are discovered, killing people and seizing treasures is light, and it is possible to destroy corpses and destroy traces, Ye Bai does not want to put his life on the line because of his carelessness.

This thing, even if you don't use it now, maybe it will have other effects in the future, maybe one day you will have your own Xuan Bing, and at that time, if you integrate this cold light and strange iron into it, the power will increase exponentially, it is really a rare treasure, and money can't buy it.

Moreover, what Ye Bai didn't tell the old man was that even if the Ye family sent 10,000 people to the Cold Ice River to salvage, no matter how much time it spent, it would only be a waste of effort, because these four pieces of Cold Light Strange Iron were actually not obtained by him from any Cold Ice River at all, but the third-order forbidden land ice punishment forest, Ye Bai knew the truth of wealth and fortune, and naturally he was not stupid enough to really tell others his specific news, however, Ye Bai still had a little regret for deceiving Ye Lao, after all, the only one who could take care of Ye Bai a little bit in the Ye family was this Ye Lao, but for his own safety, Ye Bai would never leak this secret, and he felt guilty about Ye Lao, and only wait for the opportunity to compensate for one or two later.

Thinking of this, Ye Bai stretched out his hand to wrap the three pieces of cold light strange iron again, put them back into the dark grid, put them on the wooden board, thought about it, and felt that this was not safe, Ye Bai was ruthless, reached out and took out a paint bucket from the corner, and repainted the entire bed, and finally, from the appearance, there is absolutely no such thing as a dark grid on this bed, and no one would have thought that a poor disciple like Ye Bai might have any precious treasures, so no one would come here to investigate at all.

It's this way, no one in the Ye family who is high up wants to come in once, Ye Bai did this, just in case, he survived alone in the Ye family, and he saw a lot of all kinds of deception and cunning, the struggle between the disciples of the family, the fight between the elders, and even the fight between the head of the family and the deputy head of the family, in these big families, the things that deceive the upper and lower, and the warmth and coldness of the people, will happen every day, for fear of caution, Ye Bai, who has been lonely and unaccompanied since childhood, has already learned how to protect himself.

After dealing with this small package, Ye Bai frowned, the pungent smell of paint in the house could not be exhausted for a while, after thinking about it, Ye Bai reached out and took out a wooden vial from his arms, poured out something like pollen in it, and sprinkled it everywhere at will, and after a while, the whole room was full of breath, and there was no longer the pungent smell just now.

These pollen, named macaroni, were met by Ye Bai by chance, and found that they had the effect of driving away smells, so he picked a lot of them and collected them in this wooden vial to hide his traces so as not to be discovered by those beasts with a keen sense of smell, but he did not expect that today he would use it as a deodorant in his house, but he found another wonderful use.

Putting away the wooden bottle, Ye Bai saw that he couldn't sit on the bed for the time being, but fortunately, he didn't need to sleep at all while he was cultivating, so he pulled out a futon from under the bed, Ye Bai sat cross-legged, and his face suddenly became solemn.

He slowly stretched out his hand and took out the small cloth bag with three Phantom Heart Grasses that he had just gotten from Ye Lao, and then slowly opened the ground in front of him, and suddenly three pale grass plants appeared in front of him, which were none other than the first-order low-level spirit grass-Phantom Heart Grass.

Then, Ye Bai actually stretched out his hand, took one of the plants, broke it, took a quarter of it, and put it in his mouth, and then, he closed his eyes violently, and he actually started to practice so slowly!

The hallucinogenic poisonous grass Phantom Heart Grass, which ordinary people avoid, he actually took it and used it for cultivation?

If this scene is discovered by ordinary people, I am afraid that I will be immediately stunned and can't believe my eyes.

However, Ye Bai didn't know all this, at this moment, his whole person had already entered the endless illusion realm, and the hallucinogenic effect of the illusion grass could easily torture a high-level mystic to death.

On his forehead, beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell drop by drop, wetting his clothes, but he didn't seem to realize it, his face rose red like fire jade, a moment passed, two moments passed, Ye Bai's face became worse and worse, his body shook involuntarily, and countless expressions appeared on his face, or joy, or anger, or sadness, or despair, one moment calm, one moment intense...... Obviously, Ye Bai in the illusion is encountering the most critical time, at this moment, time has passed so long, every second seems to be extended into a year, fortunately, until now, Ye Bai has not shown signs of prostration.

An hour passed, two hours passed, and three hours passed......

The oil lamp at the head of the bed had long been extinguished by the wind, and the sky outside gradually lit up with a touch of fish belly.

Suddenly, with a "whew", Ye Bai, who was sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of light slashed through the dim room in the early morning, like a bone-piercing lightning.

Immediately, Ye Bai slowly calmed down, tidied up his body, and found that his clothes were all wet, and the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water.

With a hint of fear on his face, Ye Bai looked up at the first ray of dawn that came in from the small window above his head, as if the prostration of the rest of his life filled his body and mind in an instant, every time he took the Phantom Heart Grass, it was a test of life and death, fortunately, he succeeded in breaking through again, and by the way, his Xuan Qi cultivation also took a small step forward again, and he was only the last step away from the peak of the eighth layer of Xuan Qi.

And every time he woke up from the illusion, the feeling of prostration like rebirth was so wonderful, which gave him a special understanding of life, life, and cultivation that no one else had.

"I really don't want to bear this kind of pain, but for the sake of strength, in order not to be dragged down too much by others...... I have to do it, I have no choice!"

"Luckily, I've made it again!"

A smile appeared on his face, and his body shook for a while, Ye Bai looked up at the sky, no one knew, he had a unique secret of his own - a secret of his own!

In the eyes of everyone, the Phantom Heart Poisonous Herb, which can only be charmingly hallucinated, can actually be used to assist in cultivation, since the first time he accidentally ate a Phantom Heart Grass, and experienced many illusions but finally relied on tenacious vitality to survive, he actually found that his Xuan Qi cultivation increased by one point, don't underestimate this point, if in normal times, this is a level that requires him to practice for several days or even more than half a month to achieve, and this discovery made him ecstatic for a while.

The talent is not outstanding, and there is no pill directly distributed by the disciples of the Inner Sect every month to assist in cultivation, how can Ye Bai, a disciple of the Outer Sect, be tightly attached to the progress of the most elite disciples of the Inner Sect in such a clumsy situation, all the reason is because of this secret of his own!

In the Phantom Heart Grass, there is a kind of heaven and earth energy that can assist people in cultivation, and it can be automatically transformed into Xuan Qi when absorbed into the body, but this energy, ordinary people can't feel it, and even people who are not strong in willpower will be confused in the illusion and die of death once they eat it by mistake, so no one has ever paid too much attention to such a first-order low-level ordinary Phantom Heart Grass like Ye Bai, if it wasn't for that accident, Ye Bai would not have discovered this secret.

The most important thing is that it also has a certain impact on Ye Bai's mental cultivation.

Every time to the end, Ye Bai in the illusion will face a desperate situation, but Ye Bai knows that this is just a ghost of the illusion, so he told himself that everything is an illusion, everything is an illusion, so every time he relies on this tenacious belief to persevere, again and again, the experience of these illusions has made Ye Bai's mental cultivation reach a height that ordinary people cannot look up to, and even if he encounters danger in reality, Ye Bai will tell himself that everything is an illusion, everything can be broken, as long as he does not give up, the next moment is success。

Because everything in the illusion changes randomly, one moment it is an iceberg, the next moment it may be a fire, and only by persevering can we win.

Therefore, every time he encountered a crisis, he relied on this persistent belief to go all the way to the present.

The only pity is that this kind of phantom heart grass can only be taken once a week, otherwise Ye Bai will not be able to bear it, Ye Bai will divide it into four parts, one, three, five, seven or four days each, otherwise, Ye Bai's cultivation is afraid that he has already reached the peak of the Xuan, but Ye Bai is already very satisfied with this, too much, everything has a degree, Ye Bai deeply understands this truth, so he has always known how to control more than others, and he also knows how to resist the temptation in his heart.

Because now, even if he only takes less than a quarter of the amount of Phantom Heart Grass every day, he can still toss Ye Bai to death, and he will linger at the door of death several times every time, if it weren't for his willpower, he would have died under his bold attempt a year ago.

Luckily, he survived, and as soon as he persevered, in recent years, the pain that this phantom heart grass could bring him became lighter and lighter, and the improvement of his strength became more and more obvious again and again.
