Ye Su sat beside the bed, looking at You Fu Shi expressionlessly.
It takes time for a normal cultivator to absorb a demon pill and refine it. It is not like it can disappear in the blink of an eye.
No matter how you look at it, his identity is not simple, but he has never appeared in the original work.
The original novel focuses on the storyline of the male and female protagonists. Although the powerful beings are not described in detail, they are all mentioned a few times. However, Ye Su knows that You Fu Shi is definitely not any powerful being in the world of cultivation or the world of demons.
—Because of the purple pear gallwood.
In the later part of the original novel, Ning Qianyao ground the purple pear gall wood bead on her neck into powder, mixed it with the blood of Xuanyin's body, and refined a pseudo-divine sword for Lu Chenhan, which could suppress the entire cultivation world. Xin Shenzi died under this sword.
The preciousness of purple pear gall wood is self-evident, but when You Fushi took out the box, Ning Qianyao's bead immediately looked like scraps.
Things that the two sects and five schools in the world of cultivation could not produce, and which were thrown into the corner by You Fushi as scrap copper and iron for Ye Su, he could not be a person from the world of cultivation, not to mention the demon cultivators who often wanted to compete for the territory of the world of cultivation due to the scarcity of materials.
When she saw the purple pear gall wooden box that time, she had already suspected that You Fushi was a monster, but suspicion and confirmation are two different things.
Now that we see that he absorbed the demon pill in an instant, it is hard not to confirm it.
It’s indeed a monster.
Ye Su sat nearby and recalled the original novel again. The book did not describe much about the demon world.
In the original novel, there is only one plot about the demon world being without a master, and each race ruling their own way. The fox king was injured and lost his memory during the struggle, and fell out of the demon world, accidentally becoming Ning Qianyao's contracted beast. In the sequel, the fox king ran back and forth between the demon world and the cultivation world, and from time to time, he would cause jealousy between the male and female protagonists, which was very annoying.
Ye Su came back to her senses and looked at You Fushi lying on the bed. Although this junior fellow apprentice was not very smart and was illiterate, he should not be the fox.
Foxes do not hibernate, and the fox king has a scar on his chin.
You Fushi never woke up, so Ye Su simply stuffed the last demon pill into his hand, and the demon pill disappeared quickly again.
This time, after two quarters of an hour, You Fushi finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he met Ye Su's gaze. He sat up slowly, his long black hair scattered behind him. He looked elegant and unaware, and said confidently, "I'm hungry."
Ye Su: “…”
If this kind of monster wants to cause trouble, he will probably forget it at the critical moment and just say he is hungry.
Ye Su took out a bigu pill and a new Qiankun bag and gave them to You Fushi: "You just used two demon pills."
She stared at his face, trying to see a hint of panic in it.
As a result, You Fu Shi frowned slightly and said, "I can use any kind of magic pill." The disdain in his words almost overflowed.
Ye Su was silent. She had overestimated him. What conspiracy? How could an illiterate person understand this? His mind was only full of eating and sleeping.
"What kind of monster are you?" Ye Su stood up and asked bluntly.
You Fushi was holding the new Qiankun bag, looking around and pretending not to hear Ye Su's question.
Okay, neither deny nor admit, the usual illiterate behavior.
"Are you scolding me?" You Fushi suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Su and asked.
"No, now that you're awake, we'll continue to head east in a few days." The eldest sister suddenly leaned over and stared at the illiterate little brother, "Little demon also needs to practice."
You Fushi frowned as he watched the mortal leave. What little demon? He was clearly a big demon.
…
Within a few days, Ye Su, Ming Liusha and the other two made fifteen talisman-spraying guns, and gave them all to Huang Erqian before leaving.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before the talisman gun will spread among talisman masters." Huang Erqian vowed.
"I hope so." Ye Su said casually.
Huang Erqian took out another bag of spirit stones and handed it to Ye Su: "This is 70% of the spirit stones I got from selling those monster materials last time."
Ye Su opened it and was dazzled by the pile of spirit stones: "Have they all been sold out in the past few days?"
"Of course, I, Huang Erqian, still have channels." Huang Erqian looked at Ye Su, "I am waiting for the day when Qianjimen will rise again. By then, Wendong Materials Store will be able to sell materials openly."
Originally, the Wendong Materials Store was spread all over the cultivation world, but the only relatively intact store left was the one in Dinghai City. If it weren't for the occasional protection from the Po Yuan Sect, they would have long disappeared from the Floating World Continent.
After saying goodbye to Huang Erqian, Ye Su and his group continued to move eastward, not missing any small secret realms along the way. Afterwards, they did not encounter any accidents, as they were all normal secret realms.
Two months later.
"Why hasn't Senior Sister made a breakthrough yet?" Xia Er, who had just come out of the secret realm, said with a hint of distress, "This isn't right."
After these life-and-death battles, Lu Jiujing broke through to the early stage of Golden Core. Xu Chengyu, whose Nascent Soul form was originally broken, also recovered recently and began to advance to the Nascent Soul stage again.
"Come on." Ma Congqiu had been following them for such a long time that he also understood some of the situation. "How long has Ye Su been in the middle stage of foundation building? Normal people would not have three to five years. How can he break through just by absorbing some spiritual energy?"
Xia Er snorted and raised his chin slightly: "Not good? I mean, my senior sister is a genius, she is different from normal people."
"Stop bragging." Ye Su reached out to cover Xia Er's face and pushed him aside. "I found a few materials in the secret realm this time. I won't sell them for now. I want to use them on the crescent shovel."
Ming Liusha and Xiyu naturally had no objection.
"Quan Jiaying's ranking has risen again." Xiyu looked at the public area of the Jade Disc and said, "He has been promoted twice in two months. He is quite impressive."
Last month, Quan Jiaying's ranking rose by one place, and this time he rose by two places. He is now ranked 147th on the 100 Young Talents List.
In other words, in just two months, he made two magical weapons, each one better than the previous one.
"Where are the two people who killed Jin Zong?" Ye Su asked.
"Last month, Zuo Wenxuan and Hua Daiyu both dropped one place. This month... Hua Daiyu ranked 109th and Zuo Wenxuan ranked 123rd." Xiyu said after taking a look.
The rankings of Jindan refiners are basically between one hundred and two hundred on the Baiqing List. It is a great achievement for a foundation-building refiner to move even one position during this period. However, the two people from Zhanjin Sect moved dozens of positions at a time.
"They should be in the Jindan stage. They can't advance so fast in the later stages of the foundation building stage." Ye Su lowered her eyes and held down the hand of her junior brother who was about to take out her Qiankun bag. "Fifty words. There is no illiterate person in Qianji Sect."
You Fushi took out a stack of papers from his Qiankun bag, all covered with his handwriting.
Ye Su: “…”
So, in the secret realm, while others were snatching treasures and resources, he was practicing calligraphy in the background
Ye Su had no choice but to let go of her hand, and You Fushi was satisfied and took out the Mist Killing Flower from his mortal's Qiankun bag and put it on.
"Ye Su, are you also on the Hundred Youth List?" Xu Chengyu asked curiously.
Although he was a sword cultivator, he had also heard of the Hundred Green List of weapon refiners.
"I'm not here." Ye Su didn't want to attract the attention of Zhan Jin Zong so quickly. If they went into the secret realm to practice in a big way, they would think that they were desperate at most. If they showed that they had strong talent, they would probably be suppressed immediately.
At least we have to wait until Qianjimen comes to the fore, so that Zhanjinzong and Quandianxing will not be able to suppress them openly.
"Brother Xu, what are the conditions for participating in the sect competition?" Ye Su asked after putting away the stack of calligraphy pieces.
The sect competition is held every ten years, and there is still more than a year to go before the next one, probably in August next year.
"Sect competition?" Xu Chengyu didn't know why she asked this, but he explained seriously, "One of the conditions for participating in the competition is to reach the Golden Core stage or above within a hundred years. Disciples from each sect will participate on behalf of their own sect, and other independent cultivators will register under the Wuming Sect. There are a thousand places in each of the four directions, and the selection will start in March next year."
Ye Su nodded: "So if I want to participate in the sect competition, I must first reach the Golden Core stage and then participate in the selection?"
"You're participating in the sect's competition?" Ma Congqiu, who was standing in front of him, turned back and said in shock, "There has never been a weapon refiner participating in the competition in the past."
"Junior Brother Ma!" Xu Chengyu scolded, telling Ma Congqiu to shut up.
"That's right." Ma Congqiu muttered softly, "What can a weapon refiner do up there? Demonstrate weapon refinement?"
Ye Su heard it clearly, but didn't care. She just asked, "What exactly is the sect competition about?"
"Those who participate in the sect competition include sword cultivators, Buddha cultivators, talisman cultivators, magic cultivators, and occasionally alchemy cultivators and physical cultivators. It is true that there has never been a weapon refiner, but Ye Su, you can draw talismans, so perhaps you can join." Xu Chengyu said, "In fact, the sect competition is ultimately about the level of realm and the control of spiritual power."
Ye Su understood. In the original novel, Yi Xuan represented our sword sect, while Ning Qianyao was directly affiliated with the Wuming Sect. Together with the wandering cultivators, both of them participated in the sect competition as sword cultivators and had nothing to do with the Qianji Sect.
"Next we can go to Guizong City and have a look. There are many talisman practitioners there. If there is a secret realm, we may be able to find some talisman techniques." Xu Chengyu gave a suggestion.
"Okay?" Ye Su was thinking this.
…
Guizong City is taken from the origin of the Five Elements. From the name we can see the status of the Five Elements Sect.
Different from the majestic sword spirit of Tushou City, a group of people stood at the foot of Guizong City and looked up at the city gate. There was a vertical plaque on it. It was not written with common words, but a talisman with three words in the middle.
When you first look there, you'll feel a sense of majesty and righteousness, and all your demons will disappear. But if you stay there too long, you'll feel dizzy and lost.
"This is Guizong City." Xu Chengyu looked up at the three complicated characters in the middle of the talisman and said, "It is said that this is the city protection talisman drawn by the founder of the Five Elements Sect. The three characters in the middle are 'Guizong City'."
"Seal of Return." You Fushi, who was standing behind Ye Su, suddenly said.
Ye Su tilted her head to look: "What?"
You Fushi wrote a line of words on the copybook and handed it to Ye Su.
—Not Guizong City.
"Five words." You Fushi pointed at the words on the paper.
Ye Su: “…”
She looked up at the talisman plaque again, then turned her head and put the paper away: "It doesn't count."
The people in front didn't hear what You Fushi said clearly, as their attention was all on the talisman plaque. Xu Chengyu did hear something, but when he turned around and saw Ye Su, he didn't notice anything strange in her expression, so he didn't take You Fushi's words to heart.
As soon as entering Guizong City, everyone can easily feel an indescribable and invisible Taoist spirit. People are coming and going on the street, and few people carry magical tools, but many people hold talismans in their hands.
"Have you heard? Recently, the daughter of the leader of the Five Elements Sect has fallen in love with Lu Chenhan, the leader of the younger generation of the Kunlun Sect."
"Lu Chenhan? Didn't you say that he has feelings for someone from the Hehuan Sect?"
A group of talisman practitioners were sitting in the teahouse gossiping and chatting, their voices reaching out from the second floor to the street.
Ye Su raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard that. Is the male protagonist starting his journey of conquest
