After pondering for a moment, Ye Li secretly said to Tunri, "Senior Tunri, do you think it is necessary for me to become a retainer of the Second Prince?"
Upon hearing this, Tunri said: “Of course it is necessary. You can’t find out anything about the Black Soul Gold here now. Even if you leave here, can you find out anything about the Black Soul Gold by yourself
You might as well join the Second Prince's camp temporarily. Since he can help you obtain the status of a Bronze National Scholar, why not do it
Anyway, after you get this identity, you can immediately find a way to track down the information about Black Soul Gold, which sounds like it will be a lot faster than looking it up by yourself.
Moreover, the Second Prince is also planning to look for Soul Seals, which is what you need. If you can stay with him, you might be able to get more Soul Seals.
Now that time is running out, you have no choice but to choose the methods that will help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible, even if these methods may cause you to lose some of your freedom.
After hearing what Tunri said, Ye Li glanced at Bian Yingxiong, and finally nodded, saying: "Uncle Bian, then I accept your proposal and agree to become the second prince's retainer. When will we set off for Tangjing?"
After hearing Ye Li's reply, Bian Yingxiong smiled and said, "Don't worry, after this meeting with the emperor, I may be transferred out of Jinzhou City.
So before I leave, I still have some things to explain to Li Shi and the others.
It's getting late today, why don't we just wait until tomorrow morning? What do you think?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave tomorrow morning."
After talking to Ye Li, Bian Yingxiong turned around and left Ye Li's cabin to take care of his own affairs.
Ye Li, on the other hand, was somewhat excited.
“I really hope to find Black Soul Gold soon, so that I can forge the Snowman puppet.
As for the matter of the soul seal, we need to find clues quickly.
Sigh, I really don’t know how long I will have to stay on this continent, and I don’t know if the Great Soul Heaven clone will start a war in advance.”
When Ye Li finished speaking, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
Tunri shook his head and said, “I am absolutely sure that they will not start a war in advance, after all, they also need to forge snowman puppets.
Since they have grabbed those blueprints, they will definitely try to cast a snowman puppet.
They will definitely come to this continent, and like us, they will search everywhere for information about Black Soul Gold.
In terms of time, both sides have consumed some time, so the difference should not be that big.
After we find the black soul gold and go back, you will ask your master and the others to focus on forging the puppet, while we will go back to the Abyss Continent and quickly use the Cosmic Gourd to break through the realm.
If everything goes well and you get enough soul seals here, then your breakthrough speed will definitely be extremely fast. "
Afterwards, Ye Li rested all night in excitement until the next morning when Bian Yingxiong sent someone to call him.
After leaving the cottage, Ye Li quickly came to the gate of the Bian Mansion, where a horse team was already parked.
Bian Yingxiong was sitting in the carriage at this time. When he saw Ye Li coming out, he waved to Ye Li and said, "Brother Ye Li, get in the carriage quickly. We are ready to set off soon."
Ye Li nodded quickly, bowed and entered the carriage.
The space inside the carriage was quite large, and even with Ye Li and Bian Yingxiong riding in it, they did not feel crowded at all.
After sitting down, Bian Yingxiong shouted outside, "Okay, we can set off!"
As he gave the order, the cavalry began to move quickly and ran towards the north gate.
The location of Tangjing City is in the northeast of Jinzhou City, which is not close.
Starting from Jinzhou City, even with the help of a horse-drawn carriage, it would take at least ten days to arrive.
Along the way, Ye Li chatted with Bian Yingxiong.
After chatting about trivial matters, Ye Li pretended to be calm and asked casually: "By the way, Uncle Bian, you said before that the Second Prince was going to look for the Soul Seal. What's going on? Is there a record of the location of the Soul Seal?"
Hearing Ye Li's words, Bian Yingxiong did not doubt anything, thinking that Ye Li was curious, so he nodded and said: "Soul seals are things in legends. I have always thought that they are just stories, but I never thought that they are real things.
I think that since the Second Prince and his men have confirmed that soul seals are real things, they will definitely look for relevant records about them.
The information in the Second Prince's hands is naturally beyond our ability to guess. Once he finds the records of the location of the soul seal, he will definitely go looking for it.
There is also a dispute for the throne between him and the eldest prince.
Because of his status, he was already at a disadvantage in the fight for the throne. If he didn't gain more merits, he would have no chance of winning the fight for the throne at all.
If one day the eldest prince inherits the throne, the second prince's life will be difficult.
We, the second prince's followers, may be exiled together."
At this point, Bian Yingxiong's face also showed a trace of worry.
Ye Li looked at Bian Yingxiong's appearance and couldn't help but shook his head in his heart.
The struggle for power often ends up like this; even among relatives, there needs to be a winner.
Just like the chaos in the Ye family, Ye Tianwu brought in outsiders to deal with his own family members, and he showed no mercy.
Those who choose to take sides must bear the consequences of their choice.
It would be fine if the side you are on wins, but if you lose, everything you have done before will disappear into thin air.
Along the way, Ye Li and Bian Yingxiong would chat from time to time. Bian Yingxiong seemed very curious about who Ye Li's master was, but Ye Li naturally couldn't answer him, so the two could only change the topic and talk about this and that.
Ten days passed quickly. Ye Li took advantage of these days to travel and comprehend two more smaller earth laws.
His understanding of the Law of Earth has now begun to become handy.
He discovered that when comprehending the laws, it is best not to comprehend them randomly, but to conduct systematic comprehending based on the laws that have already been comprehended.
In other words, you should use the previously understood law as a basis to understand another related law, which will be faster.
With his current strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to fully comprehend the Law of Earth, so Ye Li chose from the very beginning to comprehend the laws related to the characteristic of "earth produces gold".
He planned to first comprehend this part of the Earth Element Law, and then take advantage of the momentum to transition to the Metal Element Law, so as to comprehend another part of the Metal Element Law.
After all, the more you comprehend the laws of an attribute, the sooner you will encounter a bottleneck. When you encounter a bottleneck, changing attributes to comprehend is definitely the least time-consuming option for Ye Li.
