At this point, the series of stories finally connected in his mind.
Speaking of the Yuchan Palace, like the Qiuye Sect and the Xuanhuo Sect, it is a branch of the Hua Sect. The sect is located in the southern part of Huazhou, on the border of the ancient Yue Kingdom.
To be precise, after the ancient Yue Kingdom was destroyed by the Xia Dynasty, it actually split into two tribes, Nanyue and Minyue. Among them, Minyue is now known as the "Land of Eight Fujian".
The so-called Min means the ancestor of snakes, which simply means snake worship. In contrast, the Great Xia Dynasty believes in real dragons and dragon worship.
Nowadays, fishermen in the coastal areas of Fujian still pray to the snake god to protect their safe voyage when they go out to sea to fish. A wooden snake is often enshrined on the fishing boats. When they encounter unfamiliar outsiders, they often confuse it with the belief in the "wooden horned dragon", and in this case they will inevitably be beaten.
Moreover, Ye Hong remembered that the book said that the mountain gate of Yuchan Palace was once called Lingshe Mountain, known as the "No. 1 Mountain in Western Fujian". The legendary Snake King was originally enshrined in it, and it was the Snake King Palace.
The land has a big connection with snakes in general.
Everyone suddenly started chatting, and Yu'er, who was knowledgeable and experienced, corrected their wrong views.
"You two are wrong. The Snake Ancestor, the Snake God, and the Snake King are all different. The Snake Ancestor is an ancient beast with eight heads, the Snake King looks like a man, and the Snake God looks like a woman."
Beast, man, woman... These words made Ye Hong involuntarily recall the images of the legendary Xiangliu, Orochimaru and White Snake in his mind.
Ye Hong reacted and asked immediately: "Senior, do you mean that this might be the cave of the legendary black-clothed demon king who killed countless people?"
Yu Er shook her head slightly and denied, "It doesn't look like it. It could be the cave of the little demons under the command of this big demon."
Ye Hong suddenly felt a little disappointed, but Xiao Zi suddenly said, "Sir, the spiritual energy here is so rich, maybe there will be some natural treasures?"
He naturally thought of this, but shook his head.
"Since the rats don't react at all, then we should first remove the spiritual plants and treasures. Even rats won't eat them, such as metals and stones..." The plots in the immortal cultivation novels he had read before flashed through his mind, and he said with a somewhat uncertain tone, "Stalactites?"
In the world of immortal cultivation, stalactites and stone stalactites are two completely different things. The former is stone, and the latter is the liquid dripping from the stalactites. It is indeed a treasure from heaven and earth, with the magical effect of improving the essence and opening up the mind.
"It's too early to draw conclusions now. We'll know what it is once we find out."
The group continued to explore inside, and the sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time.
After a while, Yu'er suddenly called out, "Look, both of you." As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand and pointed to the stone wall next to her.
Ye Hong and Zi Yi looked up and recognized what it was. It was the thing that everyone in the world of immortal cultivation liked - the spirit stone.
After all this fuss, it turns out that this thing is emitting spiritual energy.
Chapter 87 The Informer
Yu'er looked around. This was like a funnel-shaped cave. Apart from a few supporting pillars, it was empty and there was only a flat rock that looked like a stone bed.
She became more and more certain of her previous guess that this was indeed the demon cave of the small demon kings under the command of the great demon king. The spirit stones were arranged on the walls, forming a simple spirit gathering formation, which also created a Feng Shui treasure land.
Next, the three of them divided the work. Ye Hong was operating the flying sword to pry the spirit stone off the wall of the cave, while Yu'er flew up to explore the top of the cave.
Xiao Zi went to explore the front alone, and when he came back, he said honestly: "We have reached the end, there is no way out."
Yu'er frowned when she heard this, feeling that things were not that simple.
But she is only at the Nascent Soul stage now, and cannot release her soul to explore the surrounding area within a radius of dozens or even hundreds of kilometers. If she really wants to search bit by bit to see if there are any hidden mysteries nearby, when would she go to find them?
At this moment, Shushu spoke, squeaking, crawling out of Ye Hong's arms, climbing onto his shoulder, and communicating with him.
Ye Hong immediately put down the work in his hands, collected all the high-quality spirit stones he had dug out, followed Shushu's guidance, and came to a corner in the southeast direction of the cave. He mobilized his true energy, poured it into the sword, and cut through. The limestone was cut like tofu, and judging from the feel alone, it didn't seem much harder to cut than bones.
Yu'er said faintly, "How long are you going to cut like this? Let me do it."
After saying that, he asked the two to hide behind him, and then he pushed forward with his tender white hand. Without any moves, he simply communicated and used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, the extremely compressed spiritual energy exploded, erupting with a huge power that could split mountains and crack rocks.
Xiao Zi's beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder and she felt a little moved in her heart.
As the saying goes, the layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the doorway. She knew very well that this move was definitely not something that could be done casually in the Nascent Soul stage, at least neither she nor most people could do it. It was more like stimulating spiritual energy from a high-level perspective, very similar to the "big handprint" she had seen before, but not exactly the same.
If you can learn this skill, you won’t have to worry about fighting with others in the future.
After the explosion, the smoke gradually dissipated and the secret behind it was revealed to the world.
A group of people walked into the cave on the rubble on the ground. There was a different world inside, a stone hall with stalactites hanging from the ceiling, which showed that it was a naturally formed cave. When they walked out of the stone hall, the passage was deep and deep, and they couldn't see where the end was, but the increasingly rich spiritual energy made people feel excited.
The road went on till the end, and there came a space of neither big nor small. As soon as the three of them came in, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw a pointed bamboo shoot-shaped jade-colored stalactite above their heads, about ten feet long, with liquid dripping down.
Yu'er looked at Ye Hong deeply, smiled and said, "Boy, you really guessed it right."
How come you are so lucky?
"This, this..." Xiao Zi suddenly said with a trembling voice.
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Xiao Zi calmed down and quickly explained in a soft voice: "Young Master, Senior, there is a reason why I lost my composure... Although the spiritual liquid below is rare and precious, it is just a valuable item."
She raised her hand, stretched out her slender white jade finger, and pointed at the jade shoot above, "This thing is truly a priceless treasure."
Yu'er asked curiously, "Girl, why do you say that?"
Her cheeks suddenly turned red all the way to her ears. She lowered her head shyly and gently pinched the corner of her clothes, as if she was finding it difficult to speak.
"Because, because, according to... the latest pill formula developed by the Yanyue Sect, as long as this substance is ground into powder as the main ingredient, and then supplemented with several other spiritual herbs to make a breast-promoting pill, after taking it, it can make a virgin's breasts bigger and secrete milk continuously..."
"And the older the stalactites are, the longer the effect of the lactation-promoting pills will last..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Hong's eyes widened instantly, and he was deeply shocked. He never thought that there would be such a miraculous thing as Tongru Dan in the world. For a moment, the man's curiosity took over and he even felt a little dry in the mouth.
This, the Moon-Shattering Sect is just too good at playing, right? !
Yu'er looked at Xiao Zi meaningfully. Tongru Pill has existed since ancient times, which did not surprise her. Instead, she was more concerned about what was hidden behind it. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "A virgin lactating is the legendary heavenly fragrance body. The Yanyue Sect can use this method to turn a top-grade furnace cauldron into a top-grade furnace cauldron. They must have earned a lot of spirit stones, right?"
She paused, then asked, "Girl, you deliberately showed the Three Mountains Pavilion's secret Three Mountains Seal before, just to remind me secretly that the Moon-Shaped Sect has been secretly colluding with the Three Mountains Pavilion?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zi did not answer, but bowed deeply.
But for smart people, her attitude is enough to explain a lot of problems.
Yu'er came to Xiao Zi, looked at her jade-like delicate face, and said gently: "I see your sincerity, is there anything else to say?"
Xiao Zi hummed softly, and then bravely revealed: "The Yanyue Sect is planning to build the ancient Dian Kingdom. In fact, it is plotting the ancient people's Gu technique in order to refine the legendary love Gu..."
In fact, she herself hoped to see the Yanyue Sect destroyed by the Hua Sect one day, on the one hand to avenge herself and vent her anger;
On the other hand, it was for the sake of inheritance. As long as the Moon-Shattering Sect survived, she would never be able to obtain the next inheritance from the Yin-Yang Hehuan Sect...
On the other side, Yu'er couldn't help but sigh slightly. Although it was a strange and clever trick, it was really a good method.
With such an opponent, Mingyue Palace is in danger...
Such shocking news is no longer a small matter. She must send a letter to the main body immediately so that the sect can also know about it and respond in advance.
He glanced at Ye Hong and thought to himself that this child's luck should not be underestimated. Just taking in a little beauty as a slave girl actually led to a big conspiracy.
When I looked closely, I found that he was in a daze, not saying a word, which made me angry and funny. Then I snorted heavily, and then I called back his lost soul.
Yu'er said, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and collect your things, and let's go out."
Ye Hong agreed and took out a bunch of empty jade bottles, filling them with the "stone milk". By the end, the milk at the bottom had become as thick as "cheese", with a delicate and white texture, in the form of a cream, with a soft and sticky texture, and a certain plasticity.
Xiao Zi came over and explained to him with a smile: "Young Master, there is a secret here. The protruding one on top is called 'Kong Gong Nie', also called 'Yang Nie', and the small concave hole below that holds the stalactites is 'Yin Nie'. It shows that stones can also have yin and yang."
After saying that, she sticks out her tongue at him playfully.
Ye Hong was slightly startled, then he realized that this girl was making dirty jokes!
Chapter 88: The Knight's Journey
As Ye Hong cut off the jade-colored stalactite, it also meant that the precious land was completely destroyed.
After collecting the treasures, they decided to leave as the matter was done. The three of them and the rat left the cave together.
Then Yu'er said that she had to go to the nearest Huazong station.
If she went back and forth alone, it wouldn't take much time and she would be back soon, but with two little burdens it would take several more days.
But this place is in a dangerous situation due to the war, and Wanqing's child is not a peaceful person, which really makes people worry.
She tilted her head, looked at Ye Hong, and asked, "Do you want to continue your training? You have been through a lot of battles and suffered a lot of injuries these days. You should have remembered the lessons..."
"Also, you have discovered it yourself, right? Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators can never be your opponents. You can only win by quantity. Your training has reached a bottleneck after reaching this stage, and you are unable to match the Golden Core cultivators. Otherwise, shall we go back?" She made a suggestion.
Ye Hong hesitated for a long time after hearing this, but still shook his head and politely refused, "Senior, I know you are thinking about my safety, but please allow me to refuse."
Once you leave the excellent trial field like Xiaoqiongzhou and return to a relatively peaceful environment, even if you can rely on a large amount of resources to accumulate "essence" and break through to the middle stage of foundation building, it is still difficult to break through to the late stage of foundation building and comprehend the divine will just by grinding and thinking.
"I haven't comprehended God's will yet." He clenched his fists. "This may be an opportunity. Only between life and death can one enter the realm of God."
"Senior, just go ahead and don't worry. I can take care of myself."
As a monk, how can you always rest easy?
Yu'er thought about it, still feeling a little worried, and sighed softly: "Boy, I've always wanted to tell you, but I'm afraid of undermining your self-confidence and ambition..."
She stared into his eyes, her expression rare and serious: "I ask you, why do you have to push yourself so hard? Even if you comprehend the divine will later and cannot pass the tribulation by next spring, what does that mean? Isn't this normal... Cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. You want to accomplish something that others have spent several years or even more than ten years to achieve in just six months. This mentality is not right. I tell you, even geniuses don't have this mentality!"
There are always so many things in this world that are beyond human control. If you always want to fight for them with all your efforts, how long can you fight for them? When the last bit of blood is shed, you will burn out.
"Senior, what about my mother?" Ye Hong suddenly said.
"Wanqing she..." Yu'er was speechless for a moment.
The air suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Zi stood there quietly with his hands hanging down, saying nothing and turning a deaf ear to everything. Even Shushu nimbly hid in the pocket of his clothes.
Yu'er said softly, "She is the one who carries destiny, she is different."
The so-called bearers of destiny and children of fortune refer to some people who are born special. They come into this world according to God's will, shouldering a special mission or task. It can be said that they are specially sent to the world to accomplish some great cause.
Because the difficulties they suffer are extraordinary, they will receive more favor from fate accordingly.
"Yes, she is different..." Ye Hong also admitted this, and then asked: "But so what?"
Why can't I do what my mother can do? Although my talent is inferior to hers, I have one more dragon soul than my mother. I can kill people everywhere, plunder resources, and strengthen myself. I am also accumulating strength bit by bit. In six months, I will be able to surpass ordinary people who have been doing this for thirty years.
I used to be an ordinary person, a person who couldn't be more ordinary, but now I am no longer ordinary. I am no longer the weak person who mistakenly thought he had discovered his mother was having an affair with another man but could only run away.
If I don't even have this little bit of courage, this little bit of ambition, and this little bit of persistence, then what qualifications do I have to protect her and say I love her, and silence all those who dare to question our relationship in the future!
The dragon continued to roar in his heart, spinning and swimming. The strong and lasting emotions accumulated in the depths of his heart for a long time, turning into an inexplicable sense of anger that needed to be vented.
I want to lose my temper, I want to roar to the sky, I want to rebel against the world, I want to do whatever I want. In short, I just feel unhappy.
It seemed that at this moment, as long as he wanted, another crazy self would open his eyes, leave the nest, and set the world on fire.
After ten years of sharpening the sword, I angrily point out the mistakes of the world.
