Hearing the other party's words, Ye Li nodded and silently memorized the information in his mind.
After turning around and leaving Guilai Pavilion, Ye Li followed the information provided by the other party and headed towards Baihu Ridge in the west.
Within two days, Ye Li arrived at a hilly area, which was indeed covered with mountains.
Standing on the outskirts of Baihu Ridge, Ye Li looked into the mountain and saw the whitish peak on the top of the mountain without much effort. He thought that the Jufeng Valley should be below this peak.
After thinking about it, Ye Li decided to find out the situation first, so he walked around in White Tiger Ridge.
Sure enough, he easily found the Gathering Wind Valley at the foot of the white peak on the mountain. It was indeed a valley with howling winds.
After standing outside the valley and looking around for a while, Ye Li memorized this place in his mind and then left Baihu Ridge.
He now plans to find a place to go into seclusion. After all, there are still two months left before the Fengxing Soul Seal Land is opened. He plans to go into seclusion for a month first.
A very remote valley was found near Baihu Ridge. Ye Li felt that this was not a place where people would come on weekdays, so he went in and found a cave in the valley.
After entering the cave, Ye Li activated the Zhou Shi Gourd and put in a piece of life spirit crystal.
In the Zhoushi Gourd, Ye Li sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend the soul imprint on his body.
The fire attribute was originally the attribute he was most familiar with. The moment Ye Li absorbed and refined the fire soul seal, he immediately comprehended the three days' laws thoroughly at an astonishing speed.
Ye Li was naturally very happy about such good news, and immediately devoted himself to the contemplation of the Fire Soul Seal.
… … … … … …
During the time when Ye Li was in seclusion, Li Rushan made a secret visit to Dongfang County.
In the study room of Ye Li Manor, Ding Si, Qian San and Huo Xing knelt in front of Li Rushan, with Huo Xing's face full of guilt.
"You guys should get up quickly. There's no need to be so polite, especially Teacher Huo. I've said before that you don't have to kneel when you see me."
Li Rushan walked up to Huo Xing and helped him up personally.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed!"
Huo Xing lowered his head, sighed angrily, and his face was full of self-blame.
"Is there still no news about Ye Li? He hasn't come back yet?"
Li Rushan asked with a frown, his eyes full of worry.
Hearing his words, Huo Xing shook his head and said, "There is still no news about the Lord, and I haven't seen him come back. If he is still alive, he probably won't come back in the next two months.
I will only go there to find him after the Fengxing Soul Seal Land is opened."
Li Rushan nodded and said, "Ye Li is a lucky man, nothing should happen to him.
By the way, what is the situation in Dongfang County? "
Hearing Li Rushan's question, Ding Si reported the situation in Dongfang County one by one.
Li Rushan was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Is the cavalry regiment really that powerful?"
Ding Si nodded and said, "They are really powerful. Your Majesty, would you like to inspect them?"
A hint of curiosity appeared on Li Rushan's face, but he quickly suppressed it.
“No need, this is Ye Li’s private army. If I mobilize them to conduct exercises when I arrive, it would be too disrespectful to Ye Li.
The reason I came here this time is to find out about Ye Li. Although we haven't found him yet, it doesn't mean that he has met with any accident. I think we should still have confidence in him.
Ding Si, Qian San, during the time when Ye Li is away, you must develop the territory well and complete the city construction as soon as possible.
Only when Oriental City starts to open normally and allows merchants to settle in can your income increase.
From what you said before, the legion established by Ye Li is very expensive, so you must ensure that you have sufficient funds. "
Li Rushan said to Ding Si and Qian San.
The two nodded when they heard this and quickly said yes.
After Li Rushan gave some instructions to the two men, he sent them away and only kept Huo Xing.
"Teacher Huo, if you see Ye Li in the Fengxing Soul Seal Land, I'll trouble you to pay more attention and protect him.
If something happens to him and he is killed by the people of the Yuan Dynasty, it will be a serious problem."
Li Rushan said with a frown.
Huo Xing was stunned for a moment, and said, "Next time, the Sun and Moon Second Grandma of the Great Wilderness Black Flame Clan will go with me. With the three of us Talisman Gods protecting him, there shouldn't be any problem."
Hearing Huo Xing's words, Li Rushan was stunned and asked, "Sun and Moon, who are they?"
Huo Xing hurriedly told Li Rushan about Ye Li's subjugation of the Great Wilderness Black Flame Clan.
After listening to this, Li Rushan showed a trace of admiration on his face and murmured, "As expected, he is the one chosen by God. It's really amazing!"
Huo Xing was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What does your majesty mean?"
Li Rushan looked at Huo Xing deeply and did not reveal Ye Li's identity, but he still revealed some things to Huo Xing.
"Teacher Huo, do you know why I asked you to protect Ye Li and not let him fall into the hands of the Yuan people?"
Li Rushan asked.
Huo Xing said: "He has saved Your Majesty from danger many times, and has been with Your Majesty through thick and thin, like a brother."
Li Rushan nodded and said, "This is just one of them."
Huo Xing was stunned, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Then... what is the second one?"
Li Rushan said: "Ye Li has all the other soul marks on his body. Do you understand what it means?"
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Huo Xing was struck by lightning. He froze on the spot, opening his mouth wide and unable to utter a word for a long time.
After a long while, he finally reacted and said, "Your Majesty...you...are you kidding me? How could he...how could he have all the soul seals? Wasn't the previous water soul seal taken away by the people of the White Lotus Country?"
Hearing Huo Xing's words, Li Rushan shook his head and said, "No, all the previous soul seals are on him, and he has the ability to refine the soul seals without touching them.
Ye Li once showed me these soul seals in person, and I believe in them without a doubt."
Huo Xing said: "Then the previous Wood Soul Seal was obtained by Ye Li. If the Fire Soul Seal is also in his possession, then he will have obtained five Soul Seals by himself.
Your Majesty... that legend..."
Li Rushan nodded and said, "Yes, that's the legend. The birth of the Soul Seal means that a great catastrophe is coming to the world. If someone can obtain all the Soul Seals, it means that he will unify the Nine Soul Continent and become the savior.
Ye Li should be that person, the real savior. I know he can definitely collect all the soul seals."
Huo Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you... aren't you afraid that he will unify the continent and threaten your position?"
Li Rushan shook his head and said, "Ye Li will not unify the continent. This is meaningless to him.
He told me something special, but I can't tell you yet.
In short, remember, Ye Li must not die. He is the hope of the people of the world, and you must protect him well."
