In the quiet and bright stone room, Lin Yue stood motionless, looking at the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade in his hand in a daze, his fingertips trembling slightly.

"There's hope......

Lin Yue muttered, holding this jade pendant tightly in his hand, as if grasping the future.

It's been three months.

From the moment he knew Xia Honglie's true identity, he understood that he had fallen into a desperate situation.

He is an ordinary man, with a mediocre body, but he has provoked the most noble heir of the god emperor in the world, and he has reached the point of not dying!

When he sorted it all out, the despair in his heart could be imagined.

There are many levels of class difference.

What a desperate situation?

If it weren't for the glimmer of hope of innate supernatural powers, as well as this unknown glimmer of life, I'm afraid he would have collapsed a long time ago.

Before he came to this world, he was just an ordinary person with a little more experience, and he was also afraid when he killed people, and his daily life was the same as firewood, rice, oil and salt.

The people of grass mustard actually formed a mortal enmity with the prince of the Xia Hong clan?

It's no different from a dead end.

It's just a matter of morning and evening.

However, morning and evening are different after all, so he has struggled so far.

For three months, every day felt like being blindfolded and waiting for the butcher's knife to fall, and every moment of time felt like an urgent countdown to death.

He had no choice but to try his best to delay the moment of death.

But......

Now it's different.

"Finally alive......"

Lin Yue slowly closed his eyes, and for a while, he was full of emotions, and the corners of his eyes were faintly filled with tears.

After a while, he opened his eyes, looked at the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade in his hand, and took several deep breaths in a row, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.

It's not time to relax yet.

Although we have accurate goals and hopes, it seems that it is still difficult to achieve them.

"Think about what you can do with it."

Lin Yue forced himself to calm down and think as carefully as possible.

The deep voice said that anyone who has not broken the threshold can use it, and it is most suitable for those who take away or reincarnate.

That is, it is used exclusively for the mundane level.

Although he didn't know how to take it or reincarnate, he was a mortal man.

"Judging from the voice, this Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade was not left by the owner of this cave mansion."

Lin Yue thought for a moment and sat down quietly at the stone table.

The low voice he heard when he recognized the Lord when he was refining the blood jade of the Ten Thousand Spirits was still quite different from the voice of the body he was changing now.

Moreover, if it is the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Refining Jade refined by the master of this cave mansion, there is no need to leave the information in the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade, just leave it in the letter?

The master of this cave mansion attaches so much importance to this Ten Thousand Spirits Refining Blood Jade, maybe it is an adventure he gets?

"Inside this glass box is the blood and soul of the fire phoenix......"

Lin Yue looked at the glass box on the stone table, and suddenly understood a little in his heart.

It seems that this Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade, as well as the blood and soul of the Fire Phoenix, were prepared by the master of this cave for his apprentice, and in order to compensate the female apprentice, he left these things here before he died.

Lin Yue opened the letter again and looked at it, and found the time of payment at the end of the letter.

【Winter of the 11th Year of the Emperor's Tour】

"Imperial Patrol?"

Lin Yue looked at the year name and suddenly understood when this letter was written.

His Majesty Dayong has always been His Majesty the God Emperor and has never changed, so the imperial court has always used auspicious and major events to determine the year name.

The last era name was called 'Emperor Patrol', which was determined because His Majesty the Emperor inspected the world.

The 'Imperial Tour' has gone through a total of 49 years, and now it is the 15th year of Qingyuan, which means that this letter was left 53 years ago.

And since the owner of the cave was so sure that he would die, he thought that he would die not long after writing this letter.

"For more than fifty years, has that female apprentice not come?"

Lin Yue looked at this cave mansion and couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

Since the owner of this cave house thought that the apprentice could see this letter, it must be that female apprentice also knew the usage of 'the appearance of all beings' and how to enter the cave.

Once the body of the owner of the cave is found outside, and the appearance of the owner of the cave is changed into the appearance of the owner of the cave, the cave can naturally be opened.

It's just that......

I'm afraid that the master of the cave didn't expect that his apprentice never came.

I didn't expect that there was a special case of Lin Yue, who relied on his innate supernatural powers to discover the appearance of all beings, and also got the secret of entering the cave.

He's just an accident that shouldn't have existed.

It's like he, who doesn't belong to this world.

Just an accident.

Now he had to take the meaningful relic.

Lin Yue slowly turned around and looked at the leather corpse outside the door of the cave.

After being silent for a long time, he said softly: "After so many years, you haven't come, and I don't know if she will come, but the opportunity you left behind is my only hope for survival, so ...... I'm sorry, but if I can survive this time, I will do my best to repay you when I meet your apprentice in the future, this is what I owe her. ”

Although he is a traverser, he doesn't feel that he is very special.

After all, he is just a normal person with heart and lungs.

So he is very resentful and affectionate.

How can you forget the grace of life?

"Blood and Soul of the Fire Phoenix......"

Lin Yue glanced at the glass box in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Although he didn't know if the fire phoenix was a divine beast, the name of the phoenix didn't need to be said, even if it wasn't a divine beast, it wouldn't be much worse.

If he can meet the conditions for the first step of the blood sacrifice, and then use the blood and soul of this fire phoenix, he should be able to turn the blood and magic of the fire phoenix into his own, and the path of cultivation will definitely be extremely wide and flat.

Unfortunately, for him, this option is equivalent to non-existence.

If he doesn't solve Xia Honglie, even if he can refine the fire phoenix bloodline, facing the high-flying Xia Hongclan, I'm afraid it will be a dead end.

Therefore, his only choice was to refine Xia Honglie's bloodline and soul.

The creator of this Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade, since he dared to call the God Emperor an 'old thing', he was so rebellious, even if he was not as good as the God Emperor, he must be one of the few peerless people in the world.

Moreover, the people of the Demon Dao were originally listed as must-kill by the Xia Hong clan, for fear that they would not hide deep enough.

Since such a person proposed that the bloodline of the God Emperor was the best choice, he was just afraid of the calamity that the God Emperor would descend on, so he didn't do it, so he thought about it......

I'm afraid that the resonance of heaven and earth caused by the death of the prince, the curse of the soul and resentment, etc., can also be solved by this Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade.

After all, the death of the prince resonated with heaven and earth, and it was also because of the strange bloodline, and the curse of resentment was because of the soul.

Of course, Lin Yue also speculated based on the known information.

How, he couldn't be sure.

But at least in his opinion, the odds are not small.

There is no such thing as a perfect thing.

Now that he has come this far, he will not back down.

"As for the source of the Xia Hong clan's bloodline, His Majesty the Divine Emperor will bring calamity to ...... because of this."

Lin Yue's eyes were very calm, and he didn't mean to waver at all.

I then thought about other issues.

"To urge all spirits to refine blood jade, you must first go through a blood sacrifice, that is, soak the jade pendant in blood."

"This first step of the blood sacrifice requires nine cultivators who have broken through the Five Elements Heavenly Pass to donate half of their essence blood, or one cultivator who has broken through the Four Elephants Heavenly Pass to donate half of their essence blood."

Lin Yue frowned slightly, and then glanced at the glass box placed on the stone table.

This glass box contains the blood of the fire phoenix and its soul, anyway, he won't use it to refine and fuse, maybe it can be used for blood sacrifice?

However, the deep voice said that it required the essence blood of the cultivator, and there were also realm requirements.

He also didn't know whether the blood of this fire phoenix was considered the essence blood of a cultivator, nor did he know what the realm of this fire phoenix was before his death, and he was even more uncertain whether the blood of an inhuman species like the fire phoenix could be used for blood sacrifices.

But, after all, you have to give it a try.

It would be great if he could refine Xia Honglie's bloodline and soul now.

When the time comes, he will use the appearance of all beings to turn into Xia Honglie, return to Qingdu to see Baili Fengzhi, find a reason to let the old drunkard go, and then think of a way to get out.

Although there will be a lot of hidden dangers in this way, Xia Hong's side may still track it down, and Baili Fengzhi will definitely have some suspicions, but it is indeed more convenient.

Follow-up troubles can be solved later.

"Try it now."

Lin Yue couldn't help but look forward to it.

Of course, he didn't rush to leave the cave to find Xia Honglie, but first cut his finger with a knife, wiped a drop of blood on the center of his eyebrows, lifted the change in the appearance of all beings, and soon returned to his original appearance.

Immediately, he didn't reveal the faces of all beings, but with a movement of his mind, he once again turned into the great beauty like jade in the surging torrent.

As long as the person who has been decomposed and dissected by the appearance of sentient beings, it will be 'recorded' and can become a recorded person at any time.

After turning into the jade-like beauty again, Lin Yue subconsciously twisted slightly, revealing a touch of white shoulders.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he pulled up his collar with an expressionless face.

Then, with the jade pendant and the glass box containing the blood of the fire phoenix, he came to the door of the cave, and stepped over the two corpses and the rusty iron sword in the middle.

If he ignores this step, maybe he will be cut directly on the spot by this iron sword, so it's better to be careful.

In the footsteps, Lin Yue held the long pearl in his hand, walked quickly through the dark cave, and after a while, he came to Xia Honglie, who was still in a coma.

If the blood sacrifice is successful, it will be directly refined on the spot.

"Give it a try."

Lin Yue first took out the prepared gourd water scoop, put it on the ground, and then took out the small glass box.

After gently pushing the box open a crack, the strange musk mixed with the aroma of sycamore wood escaped.

Immediately, Lin Yue took out the piece of Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade again, and after placing it in the gourd water scoop, he tried to carefully tilt the glass box in his hand, and slowly poured a thin wisp of fire phoenix blood on the jade pendant.

The next moment, I saw that the blood of the fire phoenix glowing with gold came into contact with the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade.

But......

And nothing happened.

Soon, half of the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade was soaked in the blood of the Fire Phoenix, but it did not change in the slightest, as if it was just an ordinary jade pendant.

Lin Yue still didn't give up, and after a while, he filled this water scoop with the blood of the fire phoenix.

This small glass box seems to have the ability to store things, and it seems to be much smaller than the water scoop, but the water scoop is already full, and in this small glass box, the blood of the fire phoenix still doesn't feel less.

But what made Lin Yue most helpless was-

This Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade didn't react at all.

According to the deep voice, the jade pendant completely turned into the color of blood, which means that the blood sacrifice is completed, and the jade pendant can be urged.

And this jade pendant was soaked in the blood of the fire phoenix, but it did not change color at all.

Not even a little change or movement.

"Sure enough, it doesn't work......"

Lin Yue sighed a little helplessly, shook his head slightly, and slowly poured the blood of the fire phoenix in the water scoop back into the glass box, and the glass box also generated an invisible suction force on its own, completely sucking back the blood of the fire phoenix.

I don't know if it's because it has to be the so-called 'essence blood', or does it have to be the essence blood of a 'cultivator'?

In short, the situation is clear.

It is true that the blood of the fire phoenix cannot be used for the blood sacrifice, I am afraid that it can only wait for the blood sacrifice to be completed, and after the blood refining jade of all souls is triggered, the blood of the fire phoenix can be used as the bloodline of fusion and refining, and it can be turned into oneself.

After Lin Yue silently put away the blood of the fire phoenix again, he returned to the cave mansion and continued to think about what to do.

Failure was expected, and he wasn't discouraged.

If he didn't have such a little patience, he would have collapsed long ago after three months of torment.

Sit down again at the stone table in the cave.

"Now it seems that the biggest obstacle is the blood sacrifice of this first step."

Lin Yue slowly frowned, "I'm afraid that it will have to be necessary for nine cultivators who have broken through the Five Elements Heavenly Pass to donate half of their essence blood, or one cultivator who has broken through the Four Elephants Heavenly Pass to donate half of their essence blood." ”

For the Demon Dao master who refined this Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade, maybe this was indeed not difficult, so it was said to be a 'simple blood sacrifice'.

Even for the owner of this cave, this condition may not be difficult to achieve.

But for Lin Yue, this difficulty is incredible.

"Five Elements Heavenly Pass? Four Elephants Heavenly Pass? ”

Lin Yue sighed.

These days, he has read a lot of Taoist classics.

I also have a little understanding of the so-called 'Tianguan'.

This is the barrier set by Heaven for all the souls in the world.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to perceive the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and even if Qi is introduced into the body, it only attracts a trace of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and it is impossible to transform into a mortal body at all.

This is because of the first Heavenly Pass, the Five Elements Heavenly Pass.

Only when certain aspects such as spirit, body, and perception are enough to break through the Five Elements Heavenly Pass, can you use the Five Elements Vitality to cultivate, and you can be regarded as truly entering the category of cultivators and beginning to move towards transcendence.

For example—

The martial cultivation of entering the Tao with martial arts is to develop the mortal body to the extreme, practice the strength to the extreme, and after being as consistent, and then with the help of external forces or secret methods, it is possible to break the Five Elements Heavenly Pass and become a real martial arts practitioner.

The people of the Three Sects also need to meet certain conditions in order to break the Five Elements Heavenly Pass.

Even the Xia Hong clan of the royal family, if they don't break the heavenly barrier, they can't be extraordinary!

Any cultivator who breaks the Five Elements Heavenly Pass, to ordinary people, is a real great person.

For example, Wu Xiu, in the northwest border pass, can become the commander of ten thousand armies.

Even the captain of the Qingdu who governs the thousands of city guards is not a strong martial cultivator, and a strong martial cultivator will not condescend to this small Qingdu.

And the first step of the blood sacrifice actually requires nine such strong men to dedicate half of their essence blood?

It's a dream.

"There are fifteen ten thousand commanders over there in the Northwest Xiongguan, that is, fifteen martial cultivators of the Five Elements Heavenly Pass."

Lin Yue tried his best to diverge his thoughts: "If I disguise myself as Baili Fengzhi to go to the Northwest Pass, maybe it will be possible to get the essence blood of nine of them?" ”

But he immediately shook his head lightly and denied his thoughts: "It's too whimsical." ”

This method is too difficult to implement.

Even if he has the appearance of sentient beings, in order for him to become a hundred miles of phoenix, he first needs to get a part of her body, such as a few strands of hair with hair follicles.

Maybe he can become a maid and a servant of Baili Fengzhi and other characters to get close to her, but this kind of strong of martial arts powerhouses, his control of himself is almost perfect, how can he not notice that he has his hair pulled out?

Even if he really succeeds, he will go to the Northwest Pass.

He didn't know where the Northwest Pass was, let alone that Baili Fengzhi came with the Guards, if he entered the Northwest Pass alone, but there were no Guards to follow, it would already be very suspicious.

Moreover, those commanders are also martial cultivators, but they are military attachés with a high status in Dayong, but they are just subordinates, not slaves, how can they casually dedicate half of their essence and blood?

The other option is even more outrageous.

It was actually to ask a cultivator who had broken through the Four Elephants Heavenly Pass to donate half of his essence blood?

The strong people who can break the Four Elephants Heavenly Pass can be regarded as big names among cultivators.

Lin Yue didn't have to think about it to know.

The great commander of the Northwest Pass Border Army, Baili Fengzhi, the secret about her is the three-ring level, which is one level higher than ordinary martial arts cultivators and cultivators.

Speculating like this, she is very likely to be the strong one who broke the Four Elephants Heavenly Pass!

"Use the secret of Baili Fengzhi to threaten her to hand over half of her essence blood?"

A thought flashed through Lin Yue's mind, and he immediately gave up the idea of dying.

Let's not mention that his behavior of asking for half of the essence blood is very suspicious, he is an ordinary man, what does he want the essence blood of such a martial arts powerhouse like Baili Fengzhi?

Not to mention, he is not qualified to threaten Baili Fengzhi at all, and if he dares to make such a request, he is afraid that he will be slapped into slag with a slap.

Tu Laodao should also be a Taoist master who broke the Four Elephants Heavenly Pass, but Tu Laodao is being imprisoned and supervised by Baili Fengzhi, what reason should he use to get half of Tu Laodao's essence blood?

Not to mention......

He knew that Tu Laodao was already injured, and it was impossible for him to make Tu Laodao pay such a big price.

Therefore, you can only start with the captain of Baili Fengzhi or Northwest Pass.

Lost in thought.

"Wait...... It doesn't seem like there is no chance? ”

Suddenly, a strange thought popped up in Lin Yue's mind: "If that's the case, it should be possible, at least it's much more reliable than disguising Baili Fengzhi......"

After thinking about it for a long time, he already had the prototype of the plan in his heart.

The specific plan and its details still need to be slowly thought through and gradually deduced to perfection.

"However, there seems to be another difficulty."

The message left by this Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade, Lin Yue remembered it clearly.

"The master of this jade pendant said that those who have all the spiritual veins are the easiest to achieve, but I ...... If you don't have the cultivation qualifications, you don't have a spiritual vein at all, what is the probability of success? ”

He frowned tightly.

Whether it is martial arts, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, or other cultivation methods, any path requires people with spiritual veins to practice.

Spiritual veins.

That is, the human body is the channel through which the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is transported, just like the route used to transport materials in previous lives, and the more spiritual veins there are, the faster the cultivation speed will naturally be.

Even if there is only one spiritual vein, it is only a slow cultivation speed, and there is still hope for a breakthrough after all.

But if there is not a single spiritual vein, then it is impossible to break the Five Elements Heavenly Pass.

"I don't know how likely it is to succeed."

Lin Yue sighed and glanced at the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade in his hand again, "According to what the voice said, this method is against the harmony of heaven, there is only one chance, if it fails, maybe even if there is a second Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Refining Jade, it will be useless......"

Although the deep voice said that it was 'two pieces of jade pendant', it was obviously refining two pieces of Ten Thousand Spirits Refining Blood Jade, but after so many years, God knows where the other one is.

"Anyway, it's better to have hope than nothing, go back to Qingdu first."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, calmed himself down, glanced at the stone room, and stood up.

……

A moment passed.

The secret door of the cave slowly closed, but the cave was empty at this time.

Including the dilapidated dark blue futon that was originally placed in front of the stone statue of the stunning woman, it also disappeared at this time.

"Buzz—"

When he was about to leave, after Lin Yue turned into the jade-like beauty, he had just stepped over the rusty iron sword, but the iron sword suddenly let out a clear and rapid sword sound.

Seems to be very reluctant?

Lin Yue faintly heard the emotion in this sword roar.

He was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at the rusty iron sword, and said, "You wait here, I'll pick you up later." ”

He is now the sweet and glutinous voice of the jade beauty.

And the rusty iron sword seemed to really understand his words, and gradually stopped the sound of the sword.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yue's lips.

I'll come back alive.

……

By the time Lin Yue left the cave and walked out of the Phantom Array Enchantment, the sun had already begun to set in the sky.

When he left Qingdu with Xia Honglie today, it was just past midnight, and three or four hours had already passed at this time, and if he came out later, I was afraid it would be dark.

"Fortunately, it won't take an hour to go back soon, and I should be able to rush back before dark."

Lin Yue carried Xia Honglie, who had re-transformed into Su Ziqiu, and walked quickly through the stone forest, walked down the low mountain, and found the carriage after a while.

About an hour later.

The sunset reflected the setting sun, and the sky was as red as drunk, and it was eroded inch by inch by the deepening twilight, and it would not be long before the night would completely cover the earth.

The gate of the west city of Qingdu.

A rudimentary gray-canopy wagon finally returned to the city before the gates were closed.

I finally came back before dark, but fortunately, the days in Xiliang were relatively long...... Lin Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and drove the carriage all the way home from Qingque Road.

Rounding the corner of the street, when he was about to get home, his eyes suddenly changed slightly, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Under the residual sunset, it can be clearly seen that at this time, in front of the courtyard gate of his house, a team of armored soldiers is standing, as if waiting for him to return.
