Chapter 1 Unwillingness
To the east of the Jin Kingdom, near the Endless Sea, a sword light rose up like a straight dangerous peak, breaking through the sky, and the faint silver sword light exuded a fierce momentum, covering it for thousands of miles. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the leading immortal cultivation faction in the Jin Kingdom, the Heavenly Sword Sect!
Three years ago, twelve-year-old Ye Yun left his hometown and passed the layers of assessments, so he became a miscellaneous disciple.
The miscellaneous disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect are also enough to make the local officials and martial artists of the Jin Kingdom look up to in the world.
However, in the Heavenly Sword Sect, miscellaneous disciples like Ye Yun were as many as ants. In their own place, there are nearly a thousand people, who have no status at all, and can be said to be the lowest slaves.
However, once the miscellaneous disciples pass the assessment and become outer disciples, they will once turn into a dragon and rise to the top.
In the outer courtyard, miscellaneous disciples shuttled back and forth, everyone's face was full of hurry, and there were countless tasks waiting to be completed every day.
"There is only one month left until this year's outer disciple assessment, and with my current cultivation, I don't know if there is any hope. Ye Yun stood on a mountain rock, his eyes looked into the distance, as if he had passed through the clouds, and saw the building hall looming in the depths of the clouds, which was a place where only the official disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect could go.
Syllable!
The whirring sound of breaking the air exploded on Ye Yun's back.
"Ye Yun, the hundred feather grasses have not yet been collected, but you are wasting time here?" Liu Daolie, who was wearing a cloud-patterned brocade robe, appeared behind him, carrying a whip in his hand, his face full of mockery.
Ye Yun gritted his teeth slightly, and a hot pain came from his back.
Liu Daolie is his uncle, and the nearly 1,000 miscellaneous disciples in the Medicine Valley here are under the jurisdiction of Liu Daolie on weekdays. Liu Daolie's cultivation qualifications are extremely ordinary, inferior to most of their miscellaneous disciples, but the entry time is early, and his cultivation is at least a small realm higher than all the miscellaneous disciples, his cousin Liu Yu is a disciple of Tianzhu Peak, and Tianzhu Peak is only an outer gate refining some medium-grade and lower elixirs in the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, but the official disciples of the outer gate can already have access to some real immortal cultivation methods, and their status is already very different.
Ye Yun was not less scolded by Liu Daolie on weekdays, but for the dream of cultivating immortals in his heart, he endured it.
Seeing that Ye Yun was silent for a while, Liu Daolie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly sneered, and the whip in his hand slapped Ye Yun's body again, "What, do you want me to ask again?"
This whip happened to hit Ye Yun's eyebrows, and suddenly there was a blood mark, and his scalp was so painful that he exploded, as long as it was lower, I am afraid that Ye Yun's eyes would be injured.
"Eighteen plants are missing. Ye Yun's blood surged onto his face, but he forcibly held it back, hung his head and said in a deep voice.
"There is so much difference, and you dare to waste time. Liu Daolie laughed, "It seems that you not only don't want this month's cultivation spirit stone, but you also want to go to the Spirit Beast Tower." ”
The Spirit Beast Tower is the place where the Heavenly Sword Sect specializes in domesticating demon beasts, and the domesticated demon beasts need to fight against people to increase their actual combat experience and run-in with their masters, and these miscellaneous disciples and some of the opponents captured by the Heavenly Sword Sect will often become the sparring partners of the demon beasts.
"Uncle Liu Daolie, before the end of the month, there are still eighteen feather grasses, so it should be in time. Ye Yun didn't feel much fear, but his heart burned with more fierce anger, but he knew that even if he let it go, he couldn't be Liu Daolie's opponent, so he could only forcibly endure it, and the nails in his palms were pierced into the flesh and blood because of excessive force.
"It was the end of the month, but now it's today. Liu Daolie looked at Ye Yun mockingly, and said, "There are changes in the Heavenly Candle Peak, and the required feather grass needs to be handed over before nightfall today." ”
"Before nightfall today?" Ye Yun jumped up almost suddenly, couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and shouted: "It's only less than three hours, how can it be in time." ”
"There are still three hours, how can it be too late, besides, I heard that you are also dissatisfied with me a lot, or it is more suitable for you to go to the Spirit Beast Tower instead. Liu Daolie laughed, glanced at Ye Yun with a mocking look, and turned away.
Ye Yun looked at his back, his fists clenched, and his whole body trembled.
Although it is not an extremely precious herb, it is almost impossible to find eighteen plants in less than three hours. It took more than half a month to turn 82 feather grass into feather grass before, but now it is necessary to gather 100 plants at once, how can it be so easy?
Hearing Liu Daolie's words, he knew that Liu Daolie had been eyeing him for a long time, and this time he seized such an opportunity and wanted to kill himself at once.
"Liu Daolie, although I am usually dissatisfied with you, but I also endure it, I never show it, at most I don't flatter you like some people, so you have to deal with me, I, Ye Yun, swear here, as long as I surpass you in cultivation one day, I must make you pay the price you deserve!"
Ye Yun's heart was beating violently, and every breath seemed to burn his chest and abdomen.
But he knew very well that he had to get through the current difficulties first.
......
The Yunlong Mountain Range, where the Heavenly Sword Sect is located, stretches for thousands of miles, with a forest of strange peaks and strange rocks. Monsters are rampant in the mountains, and strange flowers and plants can be seen everywhere. For thousands of years, the Heavenly Sword Sect had gradually driven the demon beasts into the depths of the mountain range, giving them a place to live, called the Demon Beast Valley, so as not to be attacked by the sect's disciples when they entered the Yunlong Mountain Range to collect spiritual materials for cultivation.
However, the Heavenly Sword Sect did not drive all the demon beasts together, but separated them according to their grades as much as possible, and laid down a forbidden formation to isolate the possibility of high-level demon beasts coming out of the depths of the mountain range, so that the Demon Beast Valley became a testing ground for the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and with the level of strength, they entered the area that could have a substantial trial effect.
Feather Grass is found in all areas of the Demon Beast Valley, and for the disciples of the outer gate, the outermost two layers are all low-level demon beasts, and they can be killed between turning their hands. However, for the miscellaneous disciples who have not obtained the true cultivation of the Heavenly Sword Sect, even the outermost layer is very dangerous.
"In the past half a month, I have searched almost all the areas of the outermost layer, and the feather grass has basically been lightened, and only by fighting hard and entering the second layer can it be possible to complete the collection in such a short time. ”
About twenty miles to the east of the outer courtyard, a towering ancient tree towers into the sky, and it can be seen in the outer courtyard, which is the sign of one of the entrances to the Demon Beast Valley.
Ye Yun appeared under the towering ancient tree with a sweaty head, glanced ahead, frowned slightly, and stepped into the Demon Beast Valley.
The moment you leap over the ancient tree, the scenery in front of you immediately changes dramatically, the clear sky disappears, the leisurely white clouds are nowhere to be found in an instant, and the whole world falls into darkness. From time to time, the roar and hiss of the demon beast came from the depths, and it seemed to be right in front of him, which made people tremble.
This is the Demon Beast Valley, the place where the Heavenly Sword Sect hone its disciples.
Ye Yun raised his hand and tapped it, and a faint soft light flew up from his body, staying above his head, slightly illuminating the space within a radius of tens of meters.
This soft light is called the Shimmer Technique, all miscellaneous disciples must cultivate, in the Demon Beast Valley, only the soft light of this Shimmer Technique can break through the darkness and see the surroundings clearly. Of course, if you become a disciple of the outer sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect, you will have a more advanced spiritual technique, or even a magic weapon, which is said to be able to sweep away the darkness within a radius of thousands of kilometers, and where the light shines, it will be subtle.
In half a month, Ye Yun relied on the faint brilliance brought by this shimmering light trick to almost search the outermost layer of the Demon Beast Valley, and found a full eighty-two feather grasses, which required luck in addition to unimaginable patience and tenacious will. You must know that although there are no too powerful demon beasts in the outermost layer of the Demon Beast Valley, if there are a group of demon beasts of the first or second order, they can also kill a miscellaneous disciple like Ye Yun.
In less than three hours, it was an impossible task to find eighteen feathered grasses. Unless, jump over the outermost first layer and enter the second layer. Because the number of feather grasses in the second layer will be much higher, and there will generally be no miscellaneous disciples who can enter, the outer disciples will naturally not waste time collecting this low-level elixir. As long as you go in, it is estimated that you will be able to complete the task in one hour, but the lowest level of the demon beasts in the second layer is also the second order, and the third-order demon beasts are even more infested from time to time.
A stone stele appeared in front of Ye Yun, and under the light of the faint soft light, the surface of the stele faintly flowed with a blood-red luster.
This is the boundary monument on the second level.
Now that he had made a decision, Ye Yun would no longer hesitate, took a deep breath, and jumped over the stone tablet in a flicker.
The soft light emitted by the glimmer suddenly seemed to be gently shaken by the candle flame blown by the wind, and then the field of vision became only ten meters.
Ten meters away, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
"No wonder the shimmer technique that the outer disciples will cultivate is even more advanced, it turns out that the second layer of this demon beast valley is so dark, I am afraid that if the shimmer technique I am cultivating now enters the third layer, it will have no effect. Ye Yun looked around with the help of a faint soft light, and his face became much more solemn. With such a vision, if you want to find the feather grass as soon as possible, the difficulty can be imagined.
Now that he had entered the second layer, Ye Yun didn't want to waste time, he hunched over and walked forward slowly, concentrating on finding the feather grass.
Basically, no miscellaneous disciples dared to enter the second layer, and the outer disciples rarely came in person to find worthless materials such as Hua Yu Cao, according to Ye Yun's thoughts, they should be able to find some.
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, in the faint soft light, a half-foot-tall grass appeared in Ye Yun's sight, blue rhizomes, blue leaves, this is the most significant feature of the feather grass, you can see it at a glance.
Ye Yun was overjoyed, he didn't expect to find one in the second layer so easily, at this speed, he might really be able to complete the task in more than two hours.
The second plant came easily, followed by the third plant, and the fourth plant......
Ye Yun really didn't expect to be able to find a large number of feather grasses so easily, but in just an hour's effort, he had already picked eight plants.
"Liu Daolie, you wouldn't have thought that I was so lucky, when I surpassed you, I must get back the humiliation of the past. Ye Yun saw the ninth feather grass again, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"No, how can there be so many feather grass growing in almost the same area?" Ye Yun found that he seemed to have overlooked something, "It's not good, feather grass is cold, and the third-level demon beast likes to eat feather grass to enhance the ice in the body, it can't be ......"
Shout!
Just when Ye Yun realized that something was wrong, a cold cold light appeared from behind him, cutting through the void and shooting straight at his vest with a sizzling sound.
Ye Yun's hair stood on end, and he subconsciously rolled forward. The pale blue glow brushed against his vest, slicing off the corners of his fluttering clothes.
Ye Yun looked up, only to see that less than ten meters away, two big white snakes were sitting cross-legged on the grass, exuding a cold chill in the faint glow, and the scarlet letter made a terrifying sound between the swallowing.
