"Ye Li, you said you came up from the nearby mountain path
Isn't there a strong wind blocking the way over there? Did you come up against the wind
After coming up, you still have the strength to kill the three Zhu family members. Your strength is too strong!"
The ancestor of the Zhao family said with a look of amazement.
The ancestors of the Tao and Guan families were also filled with surprise. They stared at Ye Li from head to toe. They really couldn't believe that such a young-looking guy could have such outstanding cultivation.
The Zhu family's ancestor still frowned, and his eyes changed as he stared at Ye Li. No one knew what he was thinking.
Ye Li heard the question from the ancestor of the Zhao family and could only explain: "Senior, I have some special skills. After passing the mountain road next to me, I almost didn't consume much energy, so I was able to enter the Puppet Lane first and use the advantages inside to defeat the opponent and take the first place."
After he explained this, although everyone was a little confused about what special ability he had to reduce consumption, the shock on their faces was lessened.
After all, in this way, what happened afterwards would be a little more reasonable.
It was understandable that Ye Li, who had not consumed much energy, was able to seize the initiative and use the terrain advantage of Puppet Lane to defeat the three members of the Zhu family.
However, the people from the Tao and Guan teams did not think so. They looked at Ye Li with shock in their eyes.
Because only their two families knew the specific strength of the three members of the Zhu family, and Ye Li was able to fight one against three, which could not be explained by a terrain advantage at all.
After basically explaining what had happened before, the four ancestors stopped questioning Ye Li, and the Zhu family's ancestor did not say anything more.
The butler looked at everyone and said, “Now it seems that everyone who can come has arrived, so I will officially announce the rankings this time.
The first place belongs to the Zhao family, and the second place belongs to my housekeeper..."
Having said that, he paused and looked at his own disciple with admiration.
Their butler was ranked last last time, so it was not easy for him to suddenly rush to the second place this time.
The housekeepers' children were also very excited, and they looked at Ye Li with an inexplicable sense of gratitude.
After the Tao family took the initiative, they have been slightly behind the other side. Since the strength of both sides is similar, they do not have the ability to catch up from behind.
Thanks to Ye Li's appearance, blocking the Tao family's way, they were able to directly narrow the gap between them and the Tao family, giving them the opportunity to compete for second place.
After a pause, the butler ancestor continued, "The third place this time is the Tao family, and the fourth place is the Zhu family, whose no one can reach the Holy Spring Palace."
After he finished speaking, the Zhao family ancestor said: "Guan Dunzi, hurry up, stop talking nonsense, we all know the ranking, let's quickly get the sacred spring.
After I get the Holy Spring and pass on the rankings to all the families, there is nothing left for me to do here. I don't want to stay here. It's so boring."
The butler glared at him seriously, then shook his head helplessly. They all knew the Zhao family ancestor's temper very well, but there was nothing they could do.
The Tao family ancestor had a kind smile on his face and said, "Zhao Qi, don't be anxious. We will get the sacred spring right away."
After the Tao family ancestor finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Ye Li and the others to step back a little.
Ye Li and the Tao and Guan teams were stunned, and they all stepped back and stood at the entrance of the Holy Spring Hall.
After the four ancestors looked at each other, they began to draw talismans at the same time. The strong spiritual energy quickly gathered in the hands of the four people and turned into eight mysterious and strange runes.
Ye Li noticed that the four of them had just drawn two talismans at the same time.
In other words, the four of them used the technique of shooting with both hands and drew two talismans at the same time.
The four people each threw the two talismans in their hands towards the ground in the middle of the Holy Spring Hall. Eight beams of light emerged and quickly gathered into eight huge rune marks in the air.
These eight rune marks quickly gathered into a rune formation. After twisting and changing in the air, they fell to the ground and were imprinted on the stone slab.
On the stone slabs below the Holy Spring Temple, rays of light spread out, lighting up countless hidden rune marks, and the entire Holy Spring Temple was filled with colorful light.
A huge hole, five meters square, suddenly appeared on the floor in the center of the Holy Spring Hall. The ground shook and a huge stone tablet rose from below.
Ye Li stood quietly aside and watched the situation in front of him. He was really curious and didn't know how to obtain this sacred spring.
The stone tablet quickly rose up until it was about three meters above the ground. Then, in the underground pit, a black statue with a turtle back and a snake tail appeared. It was the sacred beast Xuanwu.
The sacred beast Xuanwu was holding the newly-raised stone tablet on its back, and the stone tablet was covered with runes of various colors, which intertwined and converged to form an extremely complex rune formation.
"Hey, so this is the sacred spring they were talking about. This thing should be called Xuanwu Mountain Spirit. Why did they call it the sacred spring?"
The voice of Tunri suddenly sounded in Ye Li’s mind.
Upon hearing this, Ye Li unconsciously said, "Xuanwu Mountain Spirit?"
As soon as he said this, the four ancestors nearby heard it.
The Tao family ancestor was a little surprised. He turned his head and looked at Ye Li, saying: "Young man, I didn't expect you to know the real name of the Sacred Spring. You are worthy of being Ou Qianxie's disciple. You have a wide range of knowledge."
His boasting made Ye Li blush. How would he know what this thing was? He just heard Tunri say its name.
While touching his nose and forcing a smile, Ye Li secretly sent a message to Tunri and asked, "Senior Tunri, do you know this thing?"
Tunri nodded, snorted disdainfully, and said, “Nonsense, of course I know him.
The Xuanwu Mountain Spirit is formed by the Xuanwu Spirit Gathering Array, which gathers the spiritual energy in the mountain and mixes it with Xuanwu True Water.
This thing is a very rare treasure, but its value is limited. After all, it is only suitable for talisman masters in the late stage of the elixir period.
But if you can get this thing, you will make a profit. Your current strength has just reached the late stage of the Lingdan period. If you can get a little Xuanwu Mountain Spirit, breaking through to the Descending God period will be a matter of time.
This way, you can save a lot of time for practice."
Ye Li said: "Well, I would like to get some, but as I just said, this thing is also a rare thing. The first place of the four major families can only get four cups, which is really not much.
As an outsider, it would be unlikely for me to get anything.”
