Chapter 127 Goodbye Han Qing [5K] "arrive." On Yejia Island, three figures walked forward and came to the back mountain. Looking at the bamboo house in front of him, Zhou Yuwan spoke with some reverence, then stepped aside a few steps. "Thank you, fairy, for showing me the way." Shui Daosheng stood up with the help of his crutch and bowed to Zhou Yuwan. Zhou Yuwan did not answer, but just glanced at Shui Hanqing, then nodded slightly to her. Shui Hanqing didn't say anything, but just looked towards the bamboo house in front of him, with an unspeakable emotion in his eyes. "Da da." Shui Daosheng smiled, then looked towards the bamboo house in front of him. The smile in his eyes gradually faded, leaving only a trace of solemnity.
He propped himself up with a crutch and staggered forward, but he was already a little shaky and could only stand with the support of Shui Hanqing. Before I knew it, thirty years had passed since we first met. Old Ancestor Shui is now very old, and he only has less than a year left before his life ends. He has been bedridden at home most of the time in these years, and has not left Tianheng Island for nearly ten years. This was his first time to come to Yejia Island, and it would also be his last time to come to Yejia Island. He never thought that one day he would come to Yejia Island in such a manner just to meet the young boy from thirty years ago. "squeak--" There was a sound of a door opening, and the door of the bamboo house slowly opened. Patriarch Shui glanced at Shui Hanqing, then immediately propped himself up with his crutches and stepped in alone. The moment he stepped in, Old Ancestor Shui was stunned for a moment, and then fell into silence. The bamboo house was plain and simple, yet elegant and quiet. A futon was spread in the middle, and a handsome man in snow-white clothes was sitting on it. He just sat there quietly, with nothing unusual around him. He was like a bright moon hanging across the sky, emitting an aura that was hard to touch. "Meet Senior Ye." Patriarch Shui came to his senses, immediately stood up, bowed respectfully and said. Ye Linyuan did not answer immediately, but just looked at the Water Ancestor in front of him calmly, with a hint of sigh in his eyes. He had met Old Ancestor Shui three times, the first time being on the Red Star Island in Lingshi. At that time, the Lin family was aggressive, and Patriarch Shui came riding a six-meter-long albatross and solved the crisis of the Ye family in a casual conversation. But Ye Linyuan remembered very clearly that the Shui clan ancestor never really looked at him seriously from beginning to end. The second time they met was during the battle between humans and demons. At that time, the Ye family destroyed the Lin family and became a new Qi-cultivating clan in the Qinghe Islands. At that time, Patriarch Shui had a kind face and treated himself as his closest son or nephew. When they met for the third time, the Shui clan ancestor was already on his deathbed, but he still dragged his last breath to come to see him with the most humble and pious attitude.
In thirty years, they met three times, but with three completely different attitudes, which made Ye Linyuan feel deeply moved. "In the world of cultivation, the strong can decide the life and death of the weak." “Only by constantly breaking through one’s own realm and transcending one’s own class can one live a better life.” Ye Linyuan slowly put away his thoughts, then looked at the Shui clan ancestor and said: "No matter what happened in the past, you have done a favor to our Ye clan, so there is no need to be so polite." "Please take a seat." Chu Lingxi brought a cushion and immediately gave a seat to Shui Patriarch. "Thank you, senior, for your generous gift." Patriarch Shui bowed hastily, then sat down tremblingly. It was only at this moment that Ye Linyuan looked at the Water Ancestor, calmly brewed a cup of tea for him and said, "You are old." "Yes, I am old, but I have lived to a near-perfect end. In this world of immortal cultivation, I am considered to have a decent fate." Patriarch Shui nodded and said with a sigh. At this point, he shook his head and said with some realization: "In my life, I have never known the height of the blue sky or the thickness of the yellow earth. I have only seen the cold moon and the warm sun, which burn the life span of people." “Looking back now, I realize that if I could not step into the realm of foundation building, my life would be nothing more than a speck of fluff in the wind, with sporadic joys and sporadic sorrows, all like floating duckweed in the river.” Ye Linyuan was silent for a long time before he said, "Life is like dust and dew, and the way of heaven is long and endless. Building a foundation is only the beginning of the road to the great way, and I am just struggling to cross it." Ancestor Shui nodded, then shook his head, looked at Ye Linyuan with burning eyes and said: "I see almost endless possibilities from you, senior." Ye Linyuan smiled, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of water for Shui Laozu, then asked, "Are you here to see me because of the cause and effect of that year?" Elder Shui smiled bitterly, but still sighed, "I am already a dying man, and I have nothing else to ask for. I came here today because I am still worried about Han Qing." "You want her to be my companion?" Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Ancestor Shui shook his head, and then said solemnly: "I have lived for more than 140 years, and I have heard some rumors over the years." "Han Qing's scroll of superior skills was probably planned by Su Shaoyu. I wonder if you are willing to be involved in this cause and effect?" Ye Linyuan smiled and put down the teacup. He looked at the Water Ancestor for a long time before he said, "I have a bright pearl, which has long been locked up by dust and dirt. Now that dust has been cleared and light has been born, it will naturally shine through thousands of green mountains." "Junior understands." Patriarch Shui nodded, then stood up and said, "I will take my leave now." As Old Ancestor Shui stood up and left, Shui Hanqing slowly walked into the bamboo house. The white snow condenses the beauty, and the pearls decorate the lips. After many years, when he saw Shui Hanqing again, Ye Linyuan still felt a little surprised.
It is a kind of indifferent beauty. She stands there quietly, with a kind of transcendental aura that transcends the world. "A Yin or water-attributed innate Dao body, but it has not yet been fully activated, so it is impossible to find out what kind of Dao body it is." Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, and a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes. Shui Hanqing's talent is indeed extraordinary. Even though the cultivation resources he has obtained in recent years are far inferior to his, he has already cultivated to the perfect state of Qi Refining and should even have cultivated the shortcut spell "Sword Qi Horizontal". While Ye Linyuan was observing her, Shui Hanqing was also observing Ye Linyuan. After not seeing each other for many years, when she saw the man in front of her again, she was in a trance and returned to the scene when they first met. The person in front of her at that time was also dressed in white. Just standing there, he had a charm that made the girl fall in love with him. It was a kind of aura. He didn't seem like a man of this world, but rather a man from another world who traveled through this world. His pupils were clear yet had a hint of depth. I raise my cup and look up at the blue sky, which is as bright as a jade tree in the wind. Looking at Ye Linyuan, Shui Hanqing suddenly remembered this poem in his mind. "It seems like he's doing well." At this moment, Ye Linyuan suddenly spoke, with a smile in his eyes. Shui Hanqing suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately bowed and said, "Hanqing greets you, Senior." "No need to do that, just call me Master." Ye Linyuan shook his head and asked directly, "Your grandfather wants to entrust you to me. What do you think?" Shui Hanqing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Sir, did you take me in because of my grandfather's request, or for some other reason?" “You have good qualifications and good looks, and you have saved my Ye family’s life.” Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, and then said: "But I don't need too many reasons to take you in." "Don't need a reason?" Shui Hanqing was slightly stunned, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face. In response, Ye Linyuan just smiled and said, "Follow your heart." Shui Hanqing seemed to be thinking about something, then she stood up and bowed, saying, "I understand." "..." The foundation-building banquet went on as scheduled, but this time everything was kept simple. There were many major families in Qinghe Islands, and almost all of them sent people to participate, and more or less presented a gift. However, Ye Linyuan did not interact with them too much. After ignoring them for three days, he summoned the heads of the major families to a banquet, and then returned to Yejia Island to practice in seclusion. As the former leader of the Jindan Immortal Clan, Ye Linyuan understood too well the ways of the superiors. As a foundation-building cultivator, one must often remain sufficiently mysterious, so as to make these Qi-cultivating immortals be cautious in their words and actions, thus achieving maximum deterrent effect. Moreover, after breaking through the foundation-building stage, these Qi-training immortal cultivators could hardly help Ye Linyuan, and there was no need to waste his limited energy on them. When the foundation-building banquet was over, the Ye family returned to its former tranquility.
In the following time, Ye Linyuan comprehended the two core spells of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong while preparing for the entry of spiritual plant spells. It took another two months to make the arrangements. Until this day, Ye Linyuan suddenly woke up from his meditation and then arrived outside the Seven Islands of Star Lake. At this time, in the vast ocean outside the island, on a reef less than ten feet high, a man in a golden robe was standing on the cliff, holding a fishing rod, fishing. "So it's Minghuang Jianzi, I've heard of you for a long time." The moment he saw this person, Ye Linyuan seemed to have expected it and immediately stepped forward and said. Minghuang Jianzi smiled slightly, looked at the fishing rod and said, "You guessed I was coming." Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "Jianzi and Jiuqu Linghe are enemies of the Great Dao, and I also have irreconcilable conflicts with them." "I expected you to come to see me." Minghuang Jianzi smiled, and then said: "You are indeed a smart man. It seems that the Bright Moon Shell really fell into your hands." Ye Linyuan did not refute, but just said: "I am lucky, so I can get chestnuts out of the fire." In response, Minghuang Jianzi just nodded and did not pursue any further questions. But he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Since you know I'm coming, you should understand what I mean." "Let's work together. When the mission is accomplished, the Nine-bend Spirit Crane will belong to me, and the Blue Crane Islands will belong to you." Unexpectedly, Ye Linyuan shook his head, and said solemnly: "The Qinghe Islands have a mountain protection formation. It is difficult to break it even if you are in the late stage of foundation building." "Even if you and I join forces, the possibility of success is not great. I don't think Jianzi will let the Black Kui Demon King attack us, right?" Minghuang Jianzi was silent. When he took advantage of the Qinghe Islands' attack on the Heikui Islands to deal with the Jiuqu Linghe, it could be said that the dispute did not involve others. But if he joined forces with the Heikui Islands to attack the Qinghe Islands, the meaning would become very different. At that time, the major forces in the Qinghe Islands would likely feel that they are in danger of losing their teeth, which would greatly affect the deterrent power of the Tianxing Sword Sect. After all, when the major forces realize the extreme injustice and feel that they are unsafe, they will no longer believe that the Tianxing Sword Sect will uphold justice. Seeing Minghuang Jianzi lost in thought, Ye Linyuan spoke again: "Without the help of the Heikui Islands, we have no way of taking down the Qinghe Immortal Sect, not to mention that Wuyun Sanren and Luoxia Sect are likely to help them in secret." "You see clearly." Minghuang Jianzi also understood this, so he said with a serious look: "After the battle that year, I missed the best opportunity to kill Jiuqu Linghe." "If we want to take it down now, we need to re-plan our layout." Seeing this, Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "Why don't we cooperate deeply and improve the strength of my lineage, and then we can attack them when the time comes." Upon hearing this, Minghuang Jianzi could not help but nod slightly and said, "I heard that you have two great geniuses under your command. Do you want to plan some rare treasures for them to use in their breakthroughs?" Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "With their qualifications and potential, they will be comparable to the top early stage foundation building after the breakthrough, and together they can fight against the middle stage foundation building." "You're willing to do it." Minghuang Jianzi smiled, then shook his head and said, "First-level rare treasures are quite rare. Even with my wealth, it is difficult to give out too many. I can only give you two at most." "Moreover, among the rare treasures in my Tianxing Sword Sect's collection, there is no peach wood heart or willow wood heart that they need."
Ye Linyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said, "Do you have any Soul-Nourishing Jade Marrow and Kunyuan Water?" "Spirit-nourishing jade marrow, Kunyuan water?" Upon hearing this, Minghuang Jianzi was immediately surprised. He couldn't help but look at Ye Linyuan and asked, "Is he also a super-grade spiritual plant husband?" Ye Linyuan nodded and said frankly: "I am quite talented in all arts of cultivation, otherwise how could I have reached the stage of foundation building?" "That's true." Minghuang Jianzi nodded. Although super-quality spiritual plants are rare, they are not unique in the Tianxing Sea. As far as he knew, there were probably more than a dozen cultivators in the entire Tianxing Sea who possessed first-class super-grade spiritual plant skills. Almost all of these people have broken through to the foundation-building stage. It seems reasonable that Ye Linyuan, who possesses spiritual plant magic at the near-level, can cultivate to the foundation-building stage. Understanding this, Minghuang Jianzi said: "The Soul-Nourishing Jade Marrow and Kunyuan Water can allow the soul plants to enter the Tao, so there must be treasures in the sect." "But these two rare treasures are extremely valuable, so I won't let you take them for nothing." Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "After I master the near-path spiritual plant spell, why don't you and I cooperate for a long time?" “Oh, how to cooperate?” Minghuang Jianzi's eyes moved slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. Ye Linyuan smiled, and then said: "I will grow Xuanyuan Fruit, and after refining Xuanyuan Pill, I will give it to you at a 20% discount to sell, how about that?" "can." Hearing this, Minghuang Jianzi's eyes lit up slightly. Xuanyuan Dan is a second-level low-grade cultivation elixir, one pill is worth a full twenty spirit stones. Generally speaking, only those in the late stage of foundation building are qualified to take it for a long time. If a cooperation can be reached, it can also bring him a huge profit. Knowing this, Minghuang Jianzi also became interested in Xuanyuan Dan, and could not help but nodded slightly and said: "In this case, we can cooperate." "But the output of Xuanyuan Pills should not be less than 100 per year." "That's the way it is." Ye Linyuan nodded, and a smile appeared in his eyes. The two reached a tacit understanding. Na Minghuang Jianzi threw down his fishing rod and said, "I'll go get you the Nurturing Jade Marrow and Kunyuan Water, and I'll send them to you in a few days." "Wait a minute, Jianzi." Ye Linyuan called Minghuang Jianzi, wrote a few more lists and handed them to Minghuang Jianzi, and then said, "Please bring some materials for me." Minghuang Jianzi took a look and found that these were all materials used to cultivate spiritual plants, and they were all first-level spiritual treasures or rare treasures. These treasures were not precious to him, but the amount consumed was slightly larger. He only has nine top-grade spirit-gathering beads, which may require a little effort on his part, but should not be a problem for him.
So he nodded slightly, and then said: "These are easy to handle, just wait for my good news." Having said this, Minghuang Jianzi did not stop at all, and turned into a bright sword light and disappeared at the end of the void. Ye Linyuan stayed where he was, looking at the direction where Minghuang Jianzi left, and a smile appeared on his face. These rare treasures are not easy to obtain. Even with his current identity and status, it would normally take him 20 to 30 years to gather them all. But now with the help of Minghuang Jianzi, it was a great help to him. "To be able to get such help from Minghuang Jianzi, I really have to thank Qinghe Xianmen." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, raised his head and looked in the direction of Qinghe Immortal Gate, and couldn't help but smile. "..." Minghuang Jianzi was extremely efficient. He returned to Yejia Island in just over ten days and handed all the rare treasures that Ye Linyuan needed to him. Of course, Ye Linyuan did not take it for free. He paid more than two thousand spirit stones in one go, consuming most of the spirit stones he had accumulated over the years. After doing all this, he came to the spirit eye of the cave, placed the nine top-grade spirit-gathering beads into it, and then used the spirit-raising method to upgrade the earth veins of the spirit eye of the cave. Each of these top-grade spirit gathering beads is worth three hundred spirit stones. After Ye Linyuan integrates nine spirit gathering beads into it, he will eventually cultivate a second-order lower-grade spirit spring. "Once the spiritual spring is successfully promoted and the stored spiritual energy is sufficient, you can start to build the foundation." Seeing that the cave spirit eye was transforming, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but look at Jiaoyue Beidao with a smile. The Moonlight Shell said nothing, but just floated in the cave, revealing a hint of joy. Jiaoyuebei's bloodline had reached its limit long ago, and it could have broken through to the foundation-building stage a few years ago. However, because its combat power was not considered strong among those of the same level, it was suppressed and did not break through to the foundation-building stage. Now that Ye Linyuan has already established his foundation, it is time for the Bright Moon Shell to break through to the foundation-building stage. (End of this chapter)
