Chapter 181 The Eve of the Battle Between Good and Evil

Chapter 181 The Eve of the Battle Between Good and Evil
Yu Meizi chuckled twice, seeming to find it hard to stand Duanmu Ya's straightforwardness and indifference.

Facing Yu Meizi's little thoughts and hidden meanings, Duanmu Ya, who knew nothing about the ways of the world, simply ignored them.

He even asked directly about the little thoughts behind Yu Meizi, as if he was unaware of it, which made Yu Meizi a little overwhelmed.

Ye Yunqi looked at the two of them, and a sentence suddenly flashed through his mind.

Naturally stupid and sinister?

Duanmu Ya looked at Yu Meizi and just smiled without saying anything. She asked in confusion, "Did you let someone else take over the duty of guarding?"

Yu Meizi nodded: "Yes, I have something else to do."

He put extra emphasis on the word "important" and his eyes were directed at Ye Yunqi.

"Oh, this mission is extremely important. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will be investigated strictly."

Duanmu Ya's tone was flat, as if he was just stating a fact, which made Yu Meizi a little nervous.

Ye Yunqi asked curiously: "What errand?"

Duanmu Ya was about to speak when Yu Meizi said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Then he took the lead and walked towards Ye Yunqi's yard.

Ye Yunqi felt a little embarrassed. This is my yard, why are you taking the initiative?
Duanmu Ya looked at Ye Yunqi. Ye Yunqi shrugged helplessly and walked into the yard with Duanmu Ya.

In the courtyard, Jiang Qingzi also came in openly to entertain the two guests.

Originally, the concubines were a little curious, but after all, this was an interaction between monks.

The other concubines and maids were not monks, so even if they came out to serve, they were not qualified.

They had no choice but to push Jiang Qingzi out to check the situation. Jiang Qingzi couldn't resist others, so she handed the baby Ye Pingde to other people to take care of, and went out to check the situation herself.

Seeing Jiang Qingzi coming out, Ye Yunqi introduced: "Qingzi, this is Elder Yu Meizi of the Qingyue Sect, Fellow Daoist Yu. This is Fellow Daoist Duanmu Ya of the Sanqing Sect. You have met both of them once."

Then he introduced Jiang Qingzi to the two of them: "This is Jiang Qingzi, one of the elders of the Jiang family, and also my wife. We have known each other since childhood."

Jiang Qingzi looked at the two graceful and charming geniuses of the sect, both standing beside Ye Yunqi, with affection and trust in their eyes. Suddenly, he understood the way Su Muyao looked at him at the beginning.

What kind of feeling is that? It is a feeling of "Could this be the future mistress of the house?"

There is some anticipation, some fear, and some resentment.

After eating the taste, I want to make my family better and take the initiative to promote them...

Jiang Qingzi said generously: "Sisters, please take a seat. I will make tea for you."

Although Jiang Qingzi was only in the late stage of Qi training, from Ye Yunqi's introduction, Yu Meizi could tell that this person held a special position in Ye Yunqi's heart.

She is my wife, whom I met when we were both in humble circumstances.

Moreover, Jiang Qingzi's surname is Jiang and he is also the elder of the Jiang family. It seems that it is Jiang Qingzi's credit that Ye Yunqi can live in the quagmire of the Jiang family.

From this, it can be seen how important Jiang Qingzi is in Ye Yunqi's heart.

However, Yu Meizi was wrong. Ye Yunqi's golden finger was activated bit by bit. His talent, skills, and techniques were all accumulated bit by bit.

At the beginning, Ye Yunqi had no talent, no cultivation, no skills, and no techniques.

It is a blessing to have a place to stay like the Jiang family.

"Sister Jiang, you don't have to be polite. Here is some tea that Ye Yunqi just brewed. It's the best spiritual tea produced by my Qingyue Sect. It's the most nourishing for us women. Let me pour you a cup." Yu Meizi said, picking up the teapot, picking up a new unused teacup beside her, and pouring a cup.

The tea tastes elegant, with a hint of a cold moon.

Then he added some tea to Ye Yunqi and his own teacup, looked at Duanmu Ya again, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, and finally he picked up another teacup, took a cup, and handed it over.

"Fellow Daoist Duanmu, try it too. I'm afraid that since you are from the Three Pure Ones, you may not think highly of this Qingyue Tea."

Duanmu Ya picked up the teacup and sipped it calmly, praising: "Qingyue tea is indeed good. Qingyue Sect sends it to Sanqing Sect every year. I am also lucky enough to get a lot of it and drink it frequently."

This is the fact. The Sanqing Sect is the real ruler of this area, and the rest of the sects and families are vassals.

Being a vassal has its duties as a vassal.

The fees to be paid are not less at all.

Duanmu Ya said it nicely, it was a gift. To put it bluntly, it was a share of the money that had to be handed over.

Duanmu Ya was able to get a share of the Qingyue Tea from the share submitted by the Qingyue Sect, which invisibly gave her an advantage over Yu Meizi.

Yu Meizi was so angry that her chest swelled three points, but she was speechless in rebuttal.

After all, Duanmu Ya was telling the truth, and Duanmu Ya's calm tone made it seem as if he didn't know that he was fighting with Yu Meizi.

It was pointless to ask Yu Meizi to fight back.

However, Yu Meizi thought to herself: No matter how powerful you are, you are too powerful, and this is not a good thing.

This self-consolation seemed to have convinced himself. He turned his head to look at Jiang Qingzi who was sipping tea silently and asked, "How is this tea? If you like it, I'll share some with you."

Jiang Qingzi didn't know what to say, so she had to tell the truth: "My Jiang family is small and has a small business, so I haven't seen much. I just think it's much better than my Jiang family's Dongshan Spiritual Tea."

After hearing this, Yu Meizi became much happier and took out some spiritual tea and handed it to Jiang Qingzi.

Jiang Qingzi didn't know whether to answer it or not, so she had to look at Ye Yunqi.

"Why are you looking at him? I think you are easy to get along with. I want to be a fellow Taoist with you. Do I need your master's approval?" Yu Meizi said with a giggle.

Ye Yunqi coughed and said, "Of course, you are from my family, why don't you want me to nod?"

Yu Meizi smiled and said, "Okay, okay. You are really strict. Do you agree?"

Ye Yunqi was helpless. Could he really stop Jiang Qingzi and Yu Meizi from interacting with each other?
Half jokingly, he said, "Okay, then I'll allow you to have contact. Qingzi, accept it. I owe her a lot anyway, so I don't have to worry about having too much debt."

Duanmu Ya's eyes moved: "You owe her a debt? I'll pay it off for you."

Ye Yunqi was half joking, referring to the advance payment for Yu Meizi's foundation-building pill. He had not yet refined enough third-level divine water for her.

Just as he was about to explain, Duanmu Ya had already taken the storage bag in his hand and even took out a spirit stone.

What can I say about this spiritual stone?

It was completely different from the thumb-sized, grayish-white jade-like spirit stone that Ye Yunqi had seen before.

It is pure white all over and almost translucent.

As soon as it was taken out, it emitted a bright white light.

The concentration of spiritual energy around seemed to have increased slightly.

So much so that Ye Yunqi's words of explanation were stuck on his lips, and he asked in confusion: "What kind of spiritual stone is this?"

Yu Meizi also looked at it with some envy: "Fellow Daoist Duanmu, you should keep this top-grade spiritual stone... It really makes others envious."

Top-grade spiritual stone?

It was the first time that Ye Yunqi saw a top-grade spirit stone.

It was like the essence of spiritual energy condensed to the extreme. Once it was taken out, it instantly attracted the attention of all the cultivators.

It's like when wolves see meat, that desire instinct cannot be faked.

This is a top-grade spirit stone.

According to the market price, one hundred low-grade spirit stones make up one medium-grade spirit stone.

And one hundred middle-grade spirit stones make up one high-grade spirit stone.

But, it’s just like exchanging some spirit stones for gold and silver.

It is easy for the superior to exchange with the inferior, and they can even exchange more.

However, it is more difficult for the lower-level people to exchange with the higher-level people, and they often need to pay more.

A top-grade spirit stone represents more than just value.

It also represents identity and status.

Without sufficient ability, you can’t get it.

Ye Yunqi swallowed his saliva somewhat unconvincingly. What was the difference between this top-grade spirit stone and placing a beautiful woman about to take off her clothes in front of little Chu Nan?
It’s really mouth-watering!

"Put it away, Fellow Daoist Duanmu." Ye Yunqi also said, "There's no need for you to come forward for me. I just owe Yu Meizi some third-level divine water."

It’s easy to pay back the money.

It is hard to repay favors.

Even if Ye Yunqi had money, it would be difficult to settle accounts cleanly with Yu Meizi.

There is no such logic in the world. If you help someone pass the most difficult level of ascension, and then give back something of the same value when the other person reaches a new level, can it offset the problem?

Even if it is doubled, can it be the same?

Wouldn't that be like feeding the young master with cake?
"Hmm..." Duanmu Ya put away the high-grade spirit stone, "If you need anything, just tell me. We are fellow Taoists, so you don't have to be polite."

This fellow Taoist... is really valuable, worth a top-grade spirit stone...

Ye Yunqi couldn't help but sigh, is this the strength of a rich family's daughter?

Yu Meizi had calmed down. She turned to look at Jiang Qingzi and said a few words to him in private.

Ye Yunqi suddenly remembered the business and asked, "Didn't you say that we should come in and talk about the errand?"

This is off topic.

"Oh, that's it." Duanmu Ya said calmly, "At the previous Demon Suppression Conference, it was confirmed that the Demon Sect was colluding with the demon beasts. My righteous sect, which advocates war, is already very powerful, and now it has the upper hand. In the name of preventing the invasion of demons, we asked the old foundation-building elders of each sect to guard the border."

"There are many new guarding tasks near the Monster Mountain Range and the border of the Demonic Path."

"In fact, I wanted to start a great war between good and evil and take back Ningcheng, but this is a big deal and it is difficult to implement it at the moment..."

Ye Yunqi was shocked when he heard this. Ordinary years always make people lazy.

Sometimes Ye Yunqi thought that this was quite good, but now when he heard it, he remembered that he had traveled through time and space, and had traveled to Ningcheng, so he didn’t have much understanding of the past.

But for the righteousness of today's world, it has been a difficult situation for three hundred years.

The defeat three hundred years ago and the cession of land three hundred years ago weigh heavily on the hearts of countless righteous people.

Not to mention that failure has nothing to do with people. The Jiang family came to the Sanqing Sect from Ningcheng because of their failure.

Not only did it squeeze the living space of local families and take away a part of the resources, but it also made the local families gradually decline and unable to support themselves.

Three hundred years ago, quite a few people moved to Ningcheng.

The number of people from Ningcheng who followed the defeated righteous path and left can be said to be huge.

In addition, Ningcheng's evil sect ruled with blood and cruelty, so that Ningcheng's population became increasingly sparse.

Ye Yunqi sighed slightly. Three hundred years, in the secular world, could be considered the cycle of a dynasty.

For a Foundation Establishment Master, a lifespan of 200 years is something that can only be heard in conversations among elders, but it is only two generations later and the anger is still there.

But for the current group of Jindan Zhenjun or Yuanying ancestors, what happened three hundred years ago is not history, but real experiences when they were young.

It is a thorn pressing on my heart and a fire pent up in my heart.

Yu Meizi sighed: "The battle between good and evil is not that simple. If a large-scale war breaks out, let alone my Qingyue Sect, even the Sanqing Sect will be nothing."

Ye Yunqi counted on his fingers: Nine Heavens, Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, and Nascent Soul.

But higher up, there are five more heavens!

This is not the Dharma Ending Age, and the path of cultivation does not mean that there is no future after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

We even often hear about things like ascension.

But when he thought of this, Ye Yunqi became a little confused and asked, "Why don't we often hear about cultivators after the Nascent Soul stage?"

Yu Meizi wanted to say something, but she stopped herself from speaking. Finally, she pointed at Duan Muya and said, "Let her speak. Her father is the ancestor. She should speak more clearly."

Duanmu Ya nodded: "That's right, those who are above the Nascent Soul stage call those below the Nascent Soul stage vulgar."

This sentence was so shocking that Ye Yunqi let out a bitter smile.

Well, I just made a breakthrough and was a little proud of myself, but now I realize that I am still vulgar.

He is still a layman, living in the secular world.

"The cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage focus on cultivating the Great Dao, and they have agreed with each other not to interfere in worldly affairs. Firstly, worldly affairs will affect their continued cultivation, and secondly, their influence on worldly affairs is too great. If everyone follows their own wishes, the world will change too much, and everyone will be tired and it will be difficult to grow."

“Therefore, the Nascent Soul is the highest realm in the secular world, and is called the Ancestor.”

“Even in higher-level sects, they have Spirit Severing Stage cultivators or even Mahayana cultivators, but the ones who actually come forward to handle worldly affairs are still cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage.”

Ye Yunqi sighed: "It turns out that after practicing for so long, I am still a layman."

Yu Meizi smiled and said, "Being a common person is good enough. How many people can transcend the world?"

"Was the battle between good and evil also decided by the Yuanying Ancestor?" Ye Yunqi continued to ask.

Duanmu Ya shook her head: "This matter is serious, we need to consult them. So, now we are just guarding the border."

Ye Yunqi also understood that the people of righteousness had been aroused with anger, and memories of the past also flooded into everyone's hearts.

The war faction has already gained the power to decide.

If this matter did not require the approval of cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, these war advocates would surely launch an attack.

But what would be the attitude of cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage?
Ye Yunqi thought secretly in his heart. He had only heard that the lifespan of a Nascent Soul was one thousand years. This meant that the disastrous defeat three hundred years ago was not too long ago for them.

But, after reaching the highest level of cultivation, will one still be as passionate as a young man?
After thinking for a while, Ye Yunqi suddenly smiled. He was just a Foundation Establishment Real Person, why should he worry about things above the Nascent Soul stage?

Duanmu Ya looked at Ye Yunqi and said, "This is why I want you to build your foundation as soon as possible. Only a third-level technician can stay in the rear line. I have asked the alchemist at Xuqing Peak. To become a third-level technician, in addition to superb skills, you basically need to build your foundation."
