The three days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day that Ye Li and Zhang Qiongsheng had agreed upon.
After all, it was an appointment made by an elder, and although the other party did not say exactly when to go to the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, Ye Li still arrived at the Treasure Hunting Pavilion in the morning.
When he walked into the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, he saw Qingqing, a girl he hadn't seen for a long time. Qingqing's presence meant that Zhao Wanyin was in the store at this time.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had not seen Zhao Wanyin for a long time. The last time they met was more than a year ago.
Qingqing also recognized Ye Li at the first sight, walked over with a smile on her face, and said: "Mr. Ye Li, long time no see, the lady is waiting for you upstairs."
After hearing Qingqing's words, Ye Li realized that today's incident seemed to be related to Zhao Wanyin.
After responding to Qingqing politely, he followed her up to the attic.
Soon, he met Zhao Wanyin, whom he had not seen for a long time, in a reception room upstairs.
When seeing each other again, Ye Li smiled. The relationship between the two sides was actually quite good.
"Wanyin, long time no see."
Ye Li took the lead in greeting the other party.
When Zhao Wanyin saw Ye Li, she immediately showed a friendly smile on her face and said, "Ye Li, it's been a long time since we last met. I heard that you have changed amazingly and your strength is comparable to the elite disciples of the four sacred places. This is enough to prove how discerning I was back then."
Her smile was still as attractive as ever, but when Ye Li saw it, he frowned slightly, because he discovered that when Zhao Wanyin smiled, a very light gray mist emanated from her body.
He was naturally very familiar with this gray mist. It was the extremely mysterious soul power. He really didn't know why Zhao Wanyin emanated this power.
Seeing Ye Li frowning slightly, Zhao Wanyin was stunned and asked in confusion: "Ye Li, why do you have such an expression? Did Wanyin say something wrong?"
Hearing Zhao Wanyin's words, Ye Li hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Wanyin, you didn't say anything wrong. I'm just a little confused as to why you suddenly exude the power of soul movement. Is this the result of your practice of charm?"
His words made Zhao Wanyin stunned for a moment, and then she said with a strange look on her face: "What did you say, I have the power of soul walking emanating from my body?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "Yes, Wanyin, don't you know that when you smiled at me just now, a very faint soul power was emitted.
If I didn't know you had no ill will towards me, I would have thought you were using the Soul Walker to do something."
The soul power that Zhao Wanyin just released was extremely weak. If Ye Li himself did not have the soul root and had not always had an extraordinary sensitivity to the soul power, it would have been very difficult to discover the soul power released by Zhao Wanyin.
After hearing Ye Li's affirmative answer, Zhao Wanyin pondered for a while with a puzzled look on her face. Finally, as if she suddenly remembered something, she reached out her hand and gently pulled on her neck, and a dark green jade pendant was pulled out by her.
This jade pendant was exactly the Xuanji Jade that Zhu Tingyu had told her about.
"Could it be the soul-moving power emanating from this piece of Xuanji Jade?"
After thinking about it, Zhao Wanyin suddenly smiled at Ye Li again experimentally.
Sure enough, just as her emotions changed, a very light gray mist emanated from the Xuan Ji Jade, which was the soul-moving power that Ye Li had just seen.
"Yes, that's right. This is the soul-moving power I saw just now. It seems to be emanating from your jade pendant, Wanyin."
Ye Li said hurriedly.
After hearing Ye Li's words, Zhao Wanyin showed a complicated expression on her face, shook her head, and said: "It seems that what Zhu Tingyu said is true, it is indeed the power of this Xuanji Jade that is affecting the people around me.
It is just like I am constantly using the Soul Walking Spell to control them. The reason why they are willing to become my friends and partners is only because of the power of the jade."
As she spoke, Zhao Wanyin's expression became a little lonely.
Ye Li shook his head upon hearing this and said, “No, I don’t think so.
Although this piece of jade has the power of soul movement, I believe that the friends and partners around you are definitely not your friends or partners just because of the power of jade.
At least I won't be affected by your jade, and I'll become your friend anyway.
So I guess there must be many people like me who become your friends because of your own reasons."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Zhao Wanyin was stunned for a moment, then she smiled with gratitude.
Then, Ye Li asked, "Wanyin, when did you come back to Dahuang City? Did you ask Senior Zhang to find me?"
Zhao Wanyin shook her head and said, "No, I didn't ask him to call you over. He called you over and then notified me. I just rushed back here last night."
Hearing Zhao Wanyin's words, Ye Li asked curiously: "Hey, what did Senior Zhang want to talk to me about? Why didn't he come over?"
Zhao Wanyin smiled and said, "In fact, he has already told me about the matter. Because this matter is related to the interests of the family and has a great relationship with my second brother, he called me back.
I will tell you the details.”
Zhao Wanyin paused, poured Ye Li a cup of fragrant tea, and then continued: "You also know that our four major chambers of commerce have always maintained a relationship of cooperation and competition since their inception.
Leaving aside the cooperation aspect, in terms of competition, in addition to some shared areas, we each own a certain number of private areas.
In other words, the other three of the four major families are not allowed to enter these areas, and only their own chambers of commerce can enter.
The allocation of this private area is entirely determined by our Holy Mountain Test, which is held every five years."
This was the first time Ye Li had heard of the name of the Holy Mountain Trial. He couldn't help but feel a little curious and asked, "Holy Mountain Trial, what is this?"
Zhao Wanyin said: "The Holy Mountain Test is a grand competition among our four major families. People from our four major families will climb the Holy Mountain together and obtain the Holy Spring on the top of the mountain.
During the process, we will encounter attacks from monsters and beasts, and we will also fight with each other.
The total amount of the Holy Spring is fixed. The first team to reach the Holy Mountain will receive four cups of the Holy Spring, the second team will receive three cups of the Holy Spring, the third team will receive two cups of the Holy Spring, and the last team will only receive one cup of the Holy Spring.
You also know that after the late stage of the Spiritual Pill Stage, if you want to break through to the Spiritual Descent Stage, you must let your natal talisman fall from the sea of consciousness and enter the Dantian Spiritual Pill.
But do you know what the conditions are for the natal talisman to fall from the sea of consciousness into the elixir in the dantian?"
