Chapter 13: The Ruins
Demon Beast Forest, Periphery.
Ye Tian lay on a big tree with a sigh, looking at the starry sky from afar. At this moment, Ziyue was already resting. The difference between Ziyue's beast body and Ye Tian's was mainly cultivated by devouring the Demon Pill. The little demon, on the other hand, was resting on Ziyue's back. For Ye Tian, the little demon was actually more affectionate to Ziyue, which made Ye Tian helpless for a while.
"It's finally the late stage of Qi refining. Ye Tian muttered. Ye Tian didn't remember how long it had been outside this demon beast forest, every day in addition to tearing and killing demon beasts was to find the elixir of heaven and earth, and now he finally refined the seventh layer of qi.
"This perimeter is no longer suitable for me, let's go into the inner perimeter. Ye Tian thought and sat up again.
Early in the morning, Ye Tian walked slowly towards the inner perimeter of the Demon Beast Forest.
Not long after, Ye Tian suddenly heard the voice of someone in front of him, Ye Tian slowed down and quietly followed.
"Are you saying that the news of the birth of the treasure is true?" said a man dressed in blue.
"I guess it's true, don't you see that so many people have arrived? It's all you, and you said that you know how to go, and lead the way to such a remote place. The other man, also wearing a cyan suit, was now complaining.
"Don't say it, let's go quickly, the treasure will be gone if it's late. The man who had spoken at the beginning urged.
Ye Tian retracted his breath and hid aside, "Treasure? Ye Tian nodded at Ziyue, only to see a magical scene happen, Ziyue walked slowly towards Ye Tian, until the moment of collision, the two figures actually fused together! Ye Tian's cultivation also continued to climb, eight layers of Qi refining, nine layers of Qi refining, foundation building period! In the early stage of foundation building, in the middle stage of foundation building, in the middle stage of foundation building, and finally Ye Tian's cultivation stopped at the Great Perfection of Foundation Building. Ye Tian changed his appearance slightly. Continuing to hide his breath, he followed the two men.
This is an ability that Ye Tian only discovered not long ago.
The cultivation of the two men was in the middle stage of foundation building, and they were constantly hurrying at the moment, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and at about noon, the two came to the inner circle of the demon beast forest.
When they came to the inner circle, the two of them invariably slowed down. One of the three forbidden places of Lanyuan Country, the Demon Beast Forest, its real horror is in the inner perimeter. It is rumored that even if they are masters of the Yuan Infant Stage, many of them have died in it.
The reason why the two dared to enter this time was not only because of the attraction of the treasure, but also because there were not a few people who also attracted the baby like the two of them.
Slowly, Ye Tian found that there were more people around him.
Ye Tian no longer followed the two people, but showed up.
"Hey, little brother, it's better to join us alone, as the saying goes, there is great power in numbers, and we have a better chance of encountering treasures. Not long after Ye Tianzheng walked, a small team stepped forward to say hello. Ye Tian thought about it for a moment in silence, and then nodded.
The big man who invited Ye Tian laughed a few times and said, "Little brother is so refreshing, my name is Golden Axe, I don't know what the name of the little brother is?" Ye Tian knew that Golden Axe was actually a nickname, so he didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Ye Tian." ”
At this moment, a man next to the golden axe said unkindly: "Hey, golden axe, don't always show your kindness, okay, this kid is only in the early stage of building the foundation, maybe he can't get the treasure by then, he is dragging his feet!" The rest of the people were also silent, obviously acquiescing to what the man said.
"Lin Yuan, it's your turn to decide when Lao Tzu decides!" said loudly to Lin Yuan without hesitation.
"You!" Lin Yuan couldn't imagine that the golden axe would scold himself for an outsider, and he suddenly felt extremely ashamed and angry, but he was afraid of the strength of the golden axe, so he didn't dare to attack, and suddenly glared angrily, staring at Ye Tian unkindly.
Ye Tian touched his head bitterly, and thought, "My feelings are lying down and I was shot!"
Soon, the six of them continued on their way.
"Brother Axe, have you heard what kind of treasure this time is?" Ye Tian asked strangely, because there were really a lot of people coming this time.
"Treasure, hee-hee, actually, the treasure is just a disguise. The real treasure is, a newly discovered relic!" said the Golden Axe with a grin.
"Ruins?" Ye Tian was even more confused.
"Isn't it, brother, you don't even know about the ruins?" said Golden Axe, slightly surprised.
Ye Tian smiled.
The Golden Axe didn't think too much about it, and continued: "Ruins, speaking of which, it is the desire of every one of our casual cultivators. There, you only have two outcomes, the first is to get rich overnight, and the second is to die without a body. Despite this, as long as the news of the discovery of the ruins comes out, it is enough to make all the casual cultivators go crazy, because the opportunities and dangers inside are just as great. ”
After hearing this, Ye Tian nodded thoughtfully.
"By the way, Brother Ye, do you know the three major families?" asked Golden Axe suddenly.
"Oh, Brother Axe is talking about the three major families of our country?" Ye Tian replied.
"Well, yes, they released the news of the ruins this time. Golden Axe nodded and said.
"Them?" Ye Tian asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Why, hehe, I guess they can't handle it, they just need some cannon fodder. Golden Axe sneered.
Ye Tianzheng wanted to ask why he was going like this, but then he reacted. What about cannon fodder for those who are casual cultivators? What day do they not tie their heads to their belts for the sake of life? What's more, even if you are cannon fodder, as long as you seize the opportunity, you will be able to become famous in one fell swoop! Therefore, sometimes it means that there are tigers in the mountains and that you prefer to go to the tiger mountains, which is actually the style of casual cultivation.
Just as Ye Tian and Jin Axe were chatting and hurrying, there were three people sitting in a tent. It is the three masters of Lan Yuanguo.
One was dressed in a black kaftan, looked to be in his sixties, and under the slightly wrinkled eyebrows were deep eyes. Although he looks like an old man, those deep eyes will make you feel that this person is not to be provoked. He is the current head of the Li family, one of the three major families in Lanyuan Kingdom, Li Feng. To the left of the head of the Li family is a middle-aged man. It is also the youngest of the three family heads, and the most famous one, the current head of the Hou family, Hou Qianzhi. On the right hand side of the head of the Li family, there is an old man, dressed in ordinary linen clothes, with messy hair, who looks like an ordinary old man, who is lazily leaning on a chair at the moment, squinting his eyes, as if he is about to fall asleep. This old man's name is Ye Jing, and he is the head of the Ye family.
"I called you here to discuss how to divide the ruins this time. The head of the Li family broke the silence and spoke first.
"How do you divide it? This time the ruins were discovered by my Hou family first, and my Hou family should take the lion's shares!" Hou Qianshu replied in a dull voice.
"Hmph, all treasures, those who have the ability to live in them, what about what you Hou Bao discovered, you have the ability to swallow it alone, and we have nothing to occupy!" Li Feng retorted without hesitation.
There was silence for a while. Indeed, although the ruins were discovered by his Hou Bao, he Hou Jia did not have the ability to swallow them alone. If you unite the two Li Ye families, you can still monopolize one head, but if you don't unite, it is rare.
"You guys are here, have you ever thought about the lord of the country, do you think he will let it go?" At this moment, Ye Jing, the head of the Ye family, spoke up, and his hoarse voice was full of sarcasm.
"Hmph, of course the lord of the country will leave one point, but we have to take the lion's share! I suggest how about three or three points!" Divided into three or three, each family accounts for thirty percent, and the remaining one percent is left for the lord of the country, and the head of the Li family wants to complete the relics this time.
"Hehe, you forgot about the scattered cultivation side. The head of the Ye family said sarcastically again.
This time, before the head of the Li family could say anything, Hou Qianshu sneered: "Loose cultivation? What kind of storm can loose cultivation make? But old man Li, this time, my Hou family will have to take four shares! Otherwise, everyone will not score!" Hou Qianshu said resolutely.
"Sifen?" Seeing that Hou Qianzhi was so resolute, the head of the Li family was silent for a while, and was about to open his mouth to give in, but Ye Jing said first: "Hehe, casual cultivation is nothing, I think you have forgotten that the founder of your family is also from casual cultivation." I don't care how you quarrel, anyway, my thirty percent will take out two percent and give it to the loose cultivators, if you have the ability, you can grab it. After Ye Jing finished speaking, he didn't care what they said, he got up and left.
After Ye Jing left, Hou Qianshou said sarcastically: "This dead old man pretends to be kind, hmph, I think the future of the Ye family will be ruined in his hands." When the head of the Li family heard this, he shook his head and said, "When will we beat him and talk about this." After the head of the Li family finished speaking, the two were silent for a while. Now among the three major families, it is the Ye family that ranks first, and even the lord of the country will give a few points. Although Ye Jing looks like an old man, when it comes to strength, he deserves to be the first.
"Hmph, no matter how strong Old Man Ye is, I'm not afraid of him! Let's not talk about these first, Old Man Li, this time, I'm Houjia, I must take the lion!" The two argued again.
Here, Ye Tian had already arrived at the entrance of the ruins with the golden axe.
It was next to a lake. At this moment, it is divided into three layers, inside and out. The closest to the lake are the people of the three major families. The second layer is the people sent by the imperial court. The outermost layer is Ye Tian and them, a scattered cultivation faction.
Ye Tian and the Golden Axe came to a slightly higher place to rest. Along the way, Lin Yuan and the others were all silent, only Ye Tian and Golden Axe talked and laughed all the way. Ye Tian looked at Lin Yuan and them, but he didn't ask much.
Ye Tian looked over at the lake and found that there were indeed quite a few monks, about tens of thousands of them. Ye Tian also found the big banner erected by the imperial court, but he couldn't understand why, as the lord of a country, the entire Lanyuan Kingdom was his, why did he relegate to the second layer?
Suddenly, Ye Tian seemed to have discovered something, and asked the golden axe, "Huh, why is there no one on the other side of the lake?"
When the golden axe heard this, he looked over at the lake and suddenly laughed.
"Brother Ye, on the other side of the lake, you will soon know why there is no one left. ”
