The night sky is deep and the stars are like dust.
It wasn't until very late that Ye Chen returned to his room.
The candlelight flickered, and he sat cross-legged quietly on the bed, looking inward at his body.
Today in the Discipline Hall, he almost escaped into the devil's path. If that were the case, even Xu Fu might not be able to save him.
"This trump card must not be used unless absolutely necessary." Ye Chen murmured.
This is a cruel world, and the so-called righteous way cannot tolerate evil.
At some point, he fell into a deep sleep.
While sleeping, he fell into a strange state, and his mind became wandering, wandering between illusion and reality.
In his deep sleep, he seemed to vaguely see a dark world, a big cauldron standing between heaven and earth, as huge as a mountain, and he could not breathe. He could vaguely hear the evil spirits from the cauldron that were harmful to people's minds. sound.
ah…..!
He sat up suddenly, breathing heavily, and cold sweat was flowing on his forehead.
Dream!
When he saw the familiar scene in front of him, he rubbed his eyebrows, but the image of the mountain-like cauldron in his dream always lingered in his mind, because what he saw in the dream was too real.
After the meal, Xiong Er came here, and he brought a chubby girl with him. Needless to say, she was his wife.
Ye Chen couldn't help but look up and down at this chubby girl.
She has to be considered outstanding in appearance, but she looks very cute with her chubby flesh, especially her big clear eyes, which are very charming when she blinks.
"My wife, Tang Ruxuan." Xiong Er introduced, not forgetting to hold the girl in his arms, with an expression that deserved a beating as much as she wanted.
However, when the two of them stood together, in Ye Chen's eyes, it felt like that was not the case.
how to say? Xiong Er, standing next to the chubby Tang Ruxuan, always felt like he was joking. Ye Chen had a strong impulse to ask Tang Ruxuan: What do you like about this guy
"Oh, don't make trouble." Tang Ruxuan seemed to have been used to Xiong Er for a long time, but the girl's shyness still made her push Xiong Er away.
After pushing Xiong Er away, Tang Ruxuan looked at Ye Chen. When she smiled, she showed a pair of small dimples and small tiger teeth, "My name is Tang Ruxuan, and I am a disciple of Elder Du from the Outer Gate Lingguoyuan."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Just call me Ye Chen."
"I'm really bothering you this time. Do I need to prepare anything?" Tang Ruxuan looked at Ye Chen and asked.
"There is nothing to prepare, but this marrow cleansing will be very painful." Ye Chen would not hide it. The first time he practiced the body, he almost fainted from the pain several times. Such inhuman pain is no joke. Son's.
"It's okay, I can handle it."
Ye Chen nodded, his belief immediately moved, and then he summoned the real fire, covering Tang Ruxuan's entire body in it, and then divided it into many channels and poured it into Tang Ruxuan's meridians.
In order not to hurt Tang Ruxuan's meridians, he was cautious and did not dare to be too aggressive.
Even so, Tang Ruxuan's face still showed pain, and cold sweat soon broke out on her forehead.
"I said, can you do it?" Seeing Tang Ruxuan's pained expression, Xiong Er glanced at Ye Chen.
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Ye Chen said angrily.
As time went by, Tang Ruxuan gradually adapted to the pain, and Ye Chen also increased the intensity of the real fire tempering again.
"You and this damn fat guy are not going to get married on the fingertips, are you?" To prevent Tang Ruxuan from being in too much pain, Ye Chen found a topic to divert her attention.
Glancing at Xiong Er, Tang Ruxuan smiled and said, "Actually, he was not in this form before. It was only because of an error in his technique that he became what he is now."
"Is there still such a thing?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiong Er.
"I get angry when you mention this." Xiong Er sat down on the ground, "It was all tricked by that old guy. I used to be from Yushu Linfeng, and I was fooled by that bullshit technique."
"It's okay, I don't dislike you, hehehe!" Tang Ruxuan showed her two little tiger teeth again, and didn't forget to pat Xiong Er's little head, "One day, you will change back."
The three of them chatted and laughed, which indeed successfully diverted Tang Ruxuan's attention.
During this period, Ye Chen increased the intensity of the real fire tempering more than once, tempering Tang Ruxuan's essence side by side, even the meridians and bones were tempered.
Three hours later, he took a long breath and calmed down the real fire.
As soon as the real fire left her body, Tang Ruxuan shook.
"How do you feel?" Xiong Er asked hurriedly.
"My body feels warm." Tang Ruxuan moved her somewhat stiff body. "I feel that my body is much lighter than before, and my meridians seem to be much smoother than before. In short, I feel good."
"Really?" Xiong Er's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands and looked at Ye Chen, blinking and said, "You can practice for me too!"
"Okay!" Ye Chen was surprisingly straightforward. The true fire that had just returned to the Danhai surged out again and completely enveloped Xiong Er.
ah… ..
Immediately, Xiong Er's screams rang out in the small spiritual garden.
Compared to a little girl like Tang Ruxuan, Ye Chen would not be merciful when refining Xiong Er's body.
In the next two days, every morning, Xiong Er would bring Tang Ruxuan over.
Three days of refining the sutra marrow also gave Tang Ruxuan an unexpected surprise. During the process of refining the essence, her cultivation level actually advanced from the fourth level of the human realm to the fifth level of the human realm.
Three days passed quietly.
In the early morning, after having a hasty breakfast, Ye Chen carried Tianque up the mountain. Today he was going to help Xu Fu refine elixirs.
As usual, as soon as they climbed Lingshan Mountain, some disciples who were sitting cross-legged on the rocks to absorb spiritual energy cast their eyes on him, whispering to each other in twos and threes, and sometimes pointing at Ye Chen.
"Elder Xu almost fell out with Elder Zhao because of him."
"He survived the catastrophe and will be blessed later!"
"With Elder Xu's protection, the days to come will be bright!"
Indeed, Ye Chen has been greeted by many disciples along the way. In the past, who would have been willing to pay attention to an intern disciple, but because of Xu Fu's rescue, Ye Chen's situation has greatly improved. .
"Don't be too proud." Naturally, along the way, I met many disciples from Renyang Peak and Diyang Peak.
I don't know if it's jealousy or grudge, but these disciples will gnash their teeth when they see Ye Chen. Those who don't know really think that they have revenge for killing their father.
Ye Chen naturally ignored this and walked straight towards Lingdan Pavilion.
At this moment, in the Lingdan Pavilion, an elder from the inner sect came to visit. She was a female elder with a peerless appearance, like a fairy who descended from heaven.
If you take a closer look at this woman, isn't she the same Chu Xuan'er that Ye Chen saw in the back mountain that day
"Junior sister, do you really want to choose a disciple from the outer sect to be your disciple?" Xu Fu looked at Chu Xuan'er with surprise in his tone.
"There is no way, it's all forced by the head brother!" Chu Xuan'er shrugged her shoulders, feeling helpless, "He asked me to choose someone with good talent, preferably someone with Qi Condensation Realm cultivation, just in case of emergencies. needs."
"That's right, junior sister, it's time for you to accept a disciple. There are a lot of talented outer disciples, so it's not up to you to choose!"
"Hey, why are you saying that, senior brother?" Chu Xuan'er rubbed her brows.
Xu Fu smiled and shook his head, and immediately changed the subject, "What do junior sisters think of the Tianji Pill auctioned on the Netherworld black market?"
Speaking of Tianji Dan, Chu Xuan'er frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "There are too many rumors from the outside world, but they are nothing more than one palace and three sects. In my opinion, the bloodthirsty palace has the highest probability."
"How did I hear that only half of the Tianji Pill was brought back?"
"This matter needs to be verified. The head brother and the others also participated in the fight for the Tianji Pill that day, but in the end they were tricked. As for whether the Tianji Pill was brought back intact, or maybe it was taken away later. Only people know.”
"Elder Xu, I'm here." While the two were talking, Ye Chen had already walked into the Lingdan Pavilion.
