Chapter 50: The Price
Ye Qing didn't have any reason to believe a person who had only met twice, let alone convince himself of a reason to believe.
But it's not just a simple decision to believe or not to believe, it's whether he can have that kind of decision.
If this is Qilin blood, then Xiang Yichen and the others will naturally be very happy, and everyone will look at them differently, but if not, then it will undoubtedly make everyone happy in vain, and this responsibility needs to be borne by him.
Ye Qing clenched the jade bottle in his hand, and suddenly let go again, repeating this more than a dozen times, and he was suddenly stunned.
When did you become so indecisive? No longer decisive, no longer have edges and corners, is this really me?
"Huh. Ye Qing smiled self-deprecatingly, "Have you changed?"
Since encountering Hua Ruyan in the Immortal Mound, as well as in the few days in the Hidden Sword Sect, he has made some changes in his heart.
Why? Ye Qing frowned slightly, was it because of that dream?
Ye Qing still doubts whether it is a dream or a real thing, but it is undeniable that the ninety-nine steps have an impact on him, just the first step, he let himself be wiped out, and after years of hard work, he can't even climb the first step.
Could it be that that dream destroyed not only the physical body in his dream, but also his self-confidence?
Ye Qing looked at his right hand, and the jade bottle in his hand was firmly pinched in the palm of his hand.
He felt that his right hand was not as flexible as before, why was this happening?
Obviously, his cultivation is much higher than before, why is his hand not as flexible as before?
'Qiang' Ye Qing suddenly put away the jade bottle, pulled out the Taiyi sword, the vast sword momentum spread out in an instant, Ye Qing swung out a sword, and the sword aura was like a rainbow. Piercing through the sky, and finally submerging into the distant mountains and forests, startling countless birds, and then, more than a dozen wild beasts rushed out of the forest, obviously frightened.
Ye Qing's expression darkened, his sword qi had indeed lost its former fierceness, and in his heart, it was as if he was bound by something mysterious, like an invisible shackle. Hold him back in the dark.
"No, it can't go on like this. Ye Qing said to himself, maybe that dream was a warning from heaven to himself, a warning before his heart was about to fall.
That's not what he's supposed to think about right now. Because of these two words, he is not qualified to think about it. Overmatch. When I think about leisure, it's a kind of freedom. And the weak, when they think about being free, it is a kind of ignorance.
People who do not have the strength and want to get away with it can only end up being pawns in the hands of others, or. It's the scapegoat.
"I have to find a time to retreat to get rid of the distractions in my heart and re-establish the way of the sword in my heart. Ye Qing thought in his heart and withdrew the Taiyi Sword. After figuring out all this, Ye Qing had a magical transformation all over his body, and even he didn't notice that his former edges and corners, as well as his arrogant temperament, returned to him.
"Go back to Jiuqu Mountain. Ye Qing resolutely decided, not that he believed in his heart, but that he believed in his own decision.
Back at Jiuqu Mountain, it was already night, and in the silent night, the night owls chirped.
In the camp of Jiuqu Mountain, the lights were bright, and the male disciples patrolled in groups with swords, while the female disciples slept peacefully in a room in twos and threes.
The cold wind was blowing, but in everyone's hearts, these nights were very warm.
"Who is it?" Seeing a white light falling from the sky, all the patrolling disciples in the vicinity ran over.
"It turned out to be Elder Ye Qing. ”
"Elder Ye Qing is back, go and tell Senior Brother Xiang. ”
"Elder Ye Qing, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"Did they find the thousand-year-old elk to Your Excellency Xiang Yichen?" Ye Qing asked casually, he already had an idea in his heart, if Xiang Yichen and the others found the thousand-year-old elk, then he wouldn't take out the unicorn blood, but if he didn't find it, he would take it out, but it was estimated that the latter was more likely, because Xiang Yichen and the others had not sent him a sword book so far.
Sure enough, the disciple who was asked turned pale, and said, "All of you senior brothers and sisters have returned in vain, and now you are all waiting for your news from Elder Ye Qing." ”
Subsequently, this disciple saw the state of Ye Qing's body, the monk has a storage ring, and after getting the blood of the thousand-year-old deer antler, he can naturally put it into the storage ring, but Ye Qing does not have a trace of fighting on his body, no matter how smooth it is, it is impossible for the thousand-year-old elk to hand over his own blood.
"Dare to ask Elder Ye Qing, have you found the thousand-year-old elk?" the disciple looked at Ye Qing and asked.
"Let's see Your Excellency Xiang Yichen first. Ye Qing said.
"Yes. ”
"Ye Qing. When Ye Qing had just walked to the front of the main house, Xiang Yichen and the others greeted him, and from their anxious eyes, it could be seen how much they expected Ye Qing.
"Ye Qing, have you found any traces of the thousand-year-old elk?" asked Xiang Yichen, obviously he also knew that even if he found a thousand-year-old elk, it was not Ye Qing who could do it alone.
Ye Qing shook his head lightly in front of everyone.
Suddenly, everyone's faces were covered with a deep look of disappointment.
"It's okay, the big deal is to forcibly drive the poison, and besides, there is a chance that the corpse poison will backfire, maybe I'm lucky enough to do it in one go?" said Xiang Yichen with a smile.
Although Xiang Yichen was laughing, those disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect were full of worry.
Luo Xue and the others were even more ashamed, "The person who forcibly expelled the poison, count me in." Luo Xue said suddenly.
"No, one person is enough, and if two people are in power at that time, it will be more dangerous. At this time, Situ Sheng's voice sounded.
"Moreover, senior brother, you have been injured by zombies, and there is corpse poison left on your body, you go and forcibly expel the poison now, if the corpse poison in Senior Sister Xu's body and the corpse poison in your body echo and merge with each other, when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck. Situ Sheng said worriedly.
"Then in that case, senior brother, don't go. A Hidden Sword Sect disciple said.
"No, I do what I say, and the corpse poison in my body has been controlled by me, how can it be so easy to eat me?" Xiang Yichen spoke with a strong confidence in his tone.
"I see, I'd better come. What do you say, Senior Sister Xu is also a member of our Haoyue Sect, how can she let the senior brother of the Hidden Sword Sect take on this responsibility. Luo Xue stood up at this time.
"Yes, Senior Sister Luo Xue is sensible, and she is worthy of being a strong young generation in the Shenzhou world. A disciple of the Hidden Sword Sect said, and this sentence also attracted the angry eyes of the disciples of the Haoyue Sect, and the two groups of people suddenly made a big exchange.
And the sword sects of the Haoyue Sect also began to persuade Luo Xue, so it once again triggered a quarrel between the disciples of the two sects, and in the end, some people even put forward a suggestion to give up Senior Sister Xu.
"Shut up. ”
"Shut up. ”
Xiang Yichen and Luo Xue scolded at the same time, and the disciples of the two sects who were arguing suddenly quieted down.
Xiang Yichen and Luo Xue glanced at each other, and then fell into a brief silence.
And Ye Qing, who had been standing aside, finally had a chance to speak at this time. "Although I don't have the blood of a thousand-year-old elk, I have the blood of a unicorn. ”
"Ye Qing, you don't have to be like this, I don't blame you for not being able to find a thousand-year-old elk, maybe this is the will of heaven. Xiang Yichen said.
Ye Qing didn't say much. Directly took out the small jade bottle from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Situ Sheng.
"This. Situ Sheng looked at Ye Qing with some doubts. Then he took the small jade bottle.
"Look at it. Is this unicorn blood? Ye Qing asked.
Situ Sheng had a wry smile on his face, "I haven't seen the blood of the unicorn either, if you show it to me now, I can't recognize it." ”
"What are the characteristics of the Qilin blood?" Ye Qing asked.
"Is this really Qilin blood? Ye Qing, where did you get it? If you really got it from Qilin, you can take us to see it. Don't you know?" Luo Xue looked at Ye Qing and asked.
"This blood was given to me by someone else. A hint of strange color flashed on Ye Qing's face, and everyone understood a little when they saw it, but he didn't know it himself.
"For the sake of today, we can only test it. Situ Sheng said.
"How can you test it? Is there really a unicorn in this world?" Luo Xue was skeptical. "Who gave you this blood?" Luo Xue asked as she looked at Ye Qing.
"Well, a senior. Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, and then said.
"Senior?" everyone looked at Ye Qing suspiciously, and then turned their gaze to Situ Sheng.
"Senior brother?" Situ Sheng's gaze looked at Xiang Yichen's wound again. "Can you test your wounds?"
Xiang Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What's not to do, come on." ”
Xiang Yichen lifted his sleeves and exposed the wounds that had been eroded, and everyone's hearts trembled, looking at the erosive wounds, even the Sword Sect could not heal in a short period of time, not to mention the innate disciples whose corpse poison had already permeated their bodies.
"If it's Qilin blood, I'll drop a drop on your wound, Senior Brother, and the corpse poison will be removed and healed soon, if it's not Qilin blood. Situ Sheng paused, "Then Senior Brother, your wounds may worsen." ”
"I see, come on. Xiang Yichen said.
Ye Qing looked straight at Xiang Yichen and asked, "How serious will the wound become?"
"Well, it's probably going to expand, or maybe the corpse poison will get more poisonous. Situ Sheng said, "This is originally injured by a zombie, and the zombie's corpse poison will be sent out when it sees blood, and now this wound of the senior brother is in a state of decay, and there is no blood in it, so the corpse poison will gradually dissipate, but if it suddenly enters the fresh blood, then the corpse poison will all attack, if it is the blood of the unicorn, then the corpse poison will be completely expelled and purified in an instant, if it is not the evil of the unicorn, then the corpse poison will change with the help of these blood." ”
Seeing Ye Qing's brows frowning slightly, he said to Yichen: "It's okay, isn't it just a test, I can still bear the worsening of the injury, I can't blame you, you also tried your best." Xiang Yichen said to Ye Qing.
Then, Situ Sheng removed the spiritual power seal on the mouth of the bottle, and suddenly a pure yang aura permeated the air, accompanied by the holy light of the Dao.
Looking at this scene, hope was ignited in everyone's eyes, perhaps, this is really unicorn blood.
"Senior brother, are you ready? Situ Sheng asked.
Xiang Yichen nodded, and then Situ Sheng propped the mouth of the bottle on top of Situ Sheng's wound, and with a slight oblique, a drop of pale golden blood dripped on Xiang Yichen's wound.
A puff of white smoke suddenly rose from Xiang Yichen's wound, Xiang Yichen's face suddenly turned red, and an extremely hot breath instantly circulated in his body.
'Hum' Xiang Yichen's wound suddenly flashed with a pale golden light, and everyone looked at Xiang Yichen's wound, only to see a trace of black gas overflowing from it, but it quickly dissipated in the holy light.
"This, this. This. A disciple of the Hidden Sword Sect said three of them one after another.
"Is this really Qilin blood?" Situ Sheng's face was extremely excited, as a very persistent researcher of these things, he would naturally be very excited to see that legendary thing.
Then, when the black qi dissipated, the wounds began to change, and the dead skin that had been rotted by the corpse poison began to fall off, and tender flesh began to grow from the inside, which quickly made up for the damage caused by the corpse poison.
"How do you feel?" asked Xiang Yichen.
"It's hot, itchy, but it's comfortable. Xiang Yichen said, and the momentum of his whole body suddenly began to rise.
"This!" Xiang Yichen was surprised. And the people around were also extremely surprised.
"Breakthrough, this turned out to be a sign of a breakthrough. Luo Xue's eyes widened, looking at the huge momentum that gradually emanated from Xiang Yichen's body.
The spiritual power of Jiuqu Mountain began to slowly converge towards this side, and a faint golden light shrouded Xiang Yichen, and the rich spiritual power frantically poured into Xiang Yichen's body.
"Ahh In an instant, the momentum in his body suddenly climbed to the limit. 'Bang' eight veins are unblocked. The blood and qi were surging, and the masculine power was filled in Xiang Yichen's body, and it was quickly absorbed and refined by Xiang Yichen one by one, and the energy in the Qilin blood was also absorbed and refined by Xiang Yichen without pulling at all, which was simply a great improvement for him. Because his sword technique is the sword of the supreme yang to the righteous and the strong, the energy of the qilin blood is undoubtedly a great help, and at this time, absorbing it and cultivating to Yichen has been directly promoted from the middle stage of the Sword Sect to the late stage of the Sword Sect.
"Congratulations, senior brother. Senior Brother Hexi, he has taken another step forward in his cultivation. "The disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect were happy from the bottom of their hearts.
And although everyone in the Haoyue Sect was laughing, they couldn't say what it was like in their hearts.
Then, everyone's eyes focused on the Qilin blood in Situ Sheng's hand, it was really a good thing, and it was indeed a legendary item.
"Then, I'll go to heal Senior Sister Xu's injuries. Situ Sheng was still excited that he was the real Qilin blood in his hands.
"Wait, this Qilin blood is so powerful, I don't think it will take that much to heal. A female disciple of the Haoyue Sect suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Situ Sheng asked, looking at the female disciple.
"That's right, my cultivation has been stagnant recently, and it is difficult to break through, so, I want to buy a drop of Qilin blood, and I need something to exchange with me, you say. The female disciple looked at Ye Qing and said.
"No, I can't. Situ Sheng said at this time.
"Why?" The female disciple looked at Situ Sheng with angry eyes, and although the other disciples of the Haoyue Sect did not say anything, it could still be seen from their eyes that they were also extremely yearning for this Qilin blood.
"This unicorn blood can help senior brother heal and break through, that's just because the senior brother's injury is relatively light, and the senior brother has initially restrained the spread of the injury, so the unicorn blood has the remaining energy to break through the shackles for the senior brother, but Senior Sister Xu is different, she has already attacked the heart with corpse poison, and her whole body is already full of corpse poison, and these qilin blood is only enough to heal. Situ Sheng said.
"Isn't it a waste to use so much Qilin blood to heal injuries, besides, Senior Sister Xu is just an innate disciple?" After this female disciple of the Haoyue Sect finished speaking, all the eyes around her were focused in an instant.
"I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean that. The female disciple realized that she had said the wrong thing, lowered her head, and said in a non-nuo voice.
Situ Shenghe looked at Ye Qing with Xiang Yichen's eyes, and said that this was also brought back by Ye Qing, and how to arrange it still depends on Ye Qing to decide.
"Go and heal her, this unicorn blood was brought back for her healing. Ye Qing said.
Xiang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, and the disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect behind him also breathed a sigh of relief.
No one here is a saint, everyone will have selfish desires, if Ye Qing buys and sells some Qilin blood to the people of Haoyue Sect, then they will also want to get it, let alone healing, I am afraid that it will have been divided by these people long ago, even if it is not divided, the relationship between the two sects will definitely be ruined.
Xiang Yichen sighed, although he was happy that he had just broken through the shackles he had been holding for a long time, but he also saw the unstable factors here, and there was still a long way to go.
Ye Qing was also a little shocked in his heart, the power of the Qilin blood seemed to be too strong, and he actually directly helped a monk in the middle stage of the Sword Sect to be promoted to the late stage of the Sword Sect, he knew that he should keep a little for himself, but since he had already sent it out, he would definitely not regret it again.
And that heart, it seems that his life experience is really magical, and he can even take out a divine object like Qilin blood.
"Ye Qing. Suddenly, a voice sounded in Ye Qing's ears, Ye Qing looked back at it, and saw that Xiang Yichen and the others had already gone to Senior Sister Xu's house with Situ Sheng, while the female disciple of the Haoyue Sect who wanted to buy Qilin blood just now stayed by his side.
There is no need to think about it, Ye Qing also knows what she is for, "The Qilin blood is all that, and it has all been handed over to them." Ye Qing said.
"But I really want to, can you think of a way to get some back from that senior?" The female disciple's eyes were rolling and she said to Ye Qing.
"No way. Ye Qing said directly.
"Ugh. The female disciple was stunned, she didn't expect Ye Qing to be so direct.
"As long as you can get it, you can take whatever you need, no matter the cost. The female disciple said, gently brushing her ear hair, the jade ears that were as clear as jade, and her snow-white skin was slightly reddish, looking beautiful.
But Ye Qing just glanced at her lightly, "Don't say I can't get it, even if I get it, you can't afford it." After speaking, Ye Qing turned around and left.
Indeed, it was unicorn blood, not ordinary demon beast blood, and it could be said to be something that had no price in the human world and could not be seen at all.
The female disciple of Haoyue Sect was stunned, and then she reacted, looking at Ye Qing with gloomy eyes, "You will regret your arrogance." ”
