Chapter 211: Flowers accompany the king, cold light illuminates the night sky
Chapter 211: Flowers accompany the king, cold light illuminates the night sky
After the strange phenomenon continued for two hours...
in the valley.
"The second stage... is finally consolidated!"
Yang Jiuli whispered, his consciousness merging into the strange phenomenon above his head.
Everything at hand was taken in.
"Second Anomalous Phenomenon: Flowers accompany you... Cold light illuminates the night sky!" Yang Jiuli whispered.
"The Moon Shines on the Immortal's Peak" is his main vision.
In the middle stage of the second tier, a second anomaly can also be condensed.
However, Yang Jiuli chose to condense auxiliary phenomena.
That is, the first anomaly is the main focus.
The second phenomenon serves as a supplement, complementing each other.
In this way, the first anomaly will also be greatly enhanced.
"Oh? That little guy is here again!" Yang Jiuli was about to withdraw his supernatural divine sense when he suddenly locked onto the outside of the valley.
He smiled slightly after seeing the little fox lying on the ground with its head curled up in its belly.
Over the years, Yang Jiuli has often come here to cultivate.
Especially a year ago, when he opened his second Qi Palace using the "Frosty Body Refining Technique", the little fox came to observe again.
However, the little fox did not disturb Yang Jiuli that time.
The two sides got along fairly well.
Upon seeing the little fox again, Yang Jiuli's heart stirred.
He received the vision.
High in the sky, the moon and the Cold Moon Flower flashed, turning into a cold current that seeped into his brow.
Then, he abruptly stood up, put the 'Mist Bewitching Array' into his storage bag, and looked out of the valley.
"Ah!" Outside the valley, the little fox lying down shuddered, leaped up more than ten feet, and then landed on the ground.
It looked at Yang Jiuli with a wary expression.
"Little one, we've known each other for a long time, why be so wary? Do I look like a bad guy?"
Yang Jiuli laughed.
He stepped out of the valley.
The little fox let out a soft cry when it saw Yang Jiuli approaching.
It seems to be saying, how do I know if you're a bad person?
When it yelps, it arches its body, looks alert, and moves its hind legs backward.
They looked ready to retreat at any moment.
"Heh, this is a 'Mind-Enhancing and Soul-Strengthening Pill'..." Upon seeing this, Yang Jiuli smiled slightly, not caring at all. Instead, he moved his hand, and a pill bottle appeared in his palm. He uncorked the bottle, and a medicinal aroma immediately wafted out.
"Ah!" Upon smelling the medicinal aroma, the little fox stopped retreating and took a step forward with its little paw.
But it quickly realized something, glanced at Yang Jiuli, and then withdrew its claws with a wary expression.
And it continued to retreat, its wary demeanor captivating, its intelligence already on par with that of a human.
"What a cutie!" Yang Jiuli chuckled.
With a hand gesture, he channeled his Azure Wood magic into the pill bottle, enveloping a crystal-clear pill within. Then, with a flick of his hand, the pill, enveloped in azure light, flew toward the little fox.
"We are destined to meet... so I'll give you this elixir!"
The elixir was enveloped in a blue light and hung in front of the little fox.
"Let's go!" Yang Jiuli didn't say much, just said to the two tiger weasels and Xiao Bing, and then rode the wind away.
Only the little fox remained.
It licked its tongue and glanced at the pill enveloped in a blue light.
He glanced at Yang Jiuli as he walked away, his mouth watering.
It remained still for a full half hour, then let out a soft groan, as if to say, "I'm going all out."
With a suck, the pill encased in the azure light was drawn into its mouth.
……
Yang Jiuli was not worried about whether the little fox had eaten the elixir.
With this little guy's keen senses, he'll surely be able to detect that there's no poison in the pill.
He will eventually take it.
Yang Jiuli did this because he wanted to befriend this fox.
After all, this beast might come from ancient ruins. If he befriends it, once Yang Jiuli has accumulated enough strength, he can venture into those ancient ruins.
As for now, he has no plans to explore that area.
After all, the little fox that emerged from those ruins had already reached the mid-stage of the second tier.
Is there a second-order late stage among them?
Or perhaps a third-tier great demon?
Yang Jiuli had no intention of recklessly barging in and becoming food for that great demon.
By dawn, Yang Jiuli had returned to Lingxi Peak.
He was in high spirits after his breakthrough in cultivation and went to the courtyard to water some spiritual essence with spring water.
I brewed a pot of wine.
……
Seven days later, Ye Xiyu brought her younger sister Ye Zhirou to pick up the medicine.
Yang Jiuli handed the refined "Minor Cleansing Miasma Pill" and "Cleansing Miasma Pill" to Ye Xiyu.
"Uncle Yang, you're amazing! In just a few years, you've managed to produce five high-quality 'Clear Mind and Cleanse Miasma Pills' in one batch. Do you have some secret to it?" Ye Zhirou took a pill from her sister's hand, opened it, and looked at it. Then she looked at Yang Jiuli with admiration, her words carrying a hint of teasing between friends.
Six years have passed, and the little girl who was only 10 years old has now grown into a graceful young woman. She is tall and slender, with beautiful features and a lovely face. When she smiles, her face is as beautiful as a flower, like a spring breeze that is refreshing and delightful.
It's easy to see that in a few years, once she's fully grown up, she'll be the object of countless men's dreams.
Over the years, Ye Zhirou and Ye Xiyu would often come to pick up medicine.
This was naturally Ye Chongli's deliberate arrangement, hoping to bring his two granddaughters closer to Yang Jiuli.
At the same time, Ye Zhirou would occasionally pester Yang Jiuli to teach her alchemy.
Although Yang Jiuli did not want to have too much interaction with people, he could not refuse such an adorable little baby.
Therefore, over the past six years, I have become very close to this little girl.
Therefore, Ye Zhirou spoke quite casually.
"If you refine these two elixirs every day, your alchemy skills should improve considerably!"
Yang Jiuli patted Ye Zhirou's head and said with a smile.
Ye Zhirou quickly brushed Yang Jiuli's hand away and said earnestly, "Uncle Yang, you can't touch a child's head, or they won't grow up!"
"Hehe, you're almost as tall as your older sister now, how much taller do you want to grow?" Yang Jiuli laughed, enjoying the moment.
Ye Xiyu remained aloof and indifferent, appearing quiet and cold, and rarely smiled.
Seeing her sister so happy, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.
Despite Ye Zhirou's lively demeanor at this moment.
However, he didn't have many friends in the clan.
"Then naturally I'm the same age as my older sister!" Ye Zhirou said, glancing at her older sister beside her as she spoke.
However, after she finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue, as if she realized something was wrong.
"Uncle Yang, we're off to report now! I'll come back in seven days to observe your alchemy!" As if to ease the awkwardness, Ye Zhirou immediately changed the subject, waved to Yang Jiuli, and then summoned a fire lotus made of red jade.
She moved swiftly and leaped into the middle.
"Farewell!" Ye Xiyu bowed to Yang Jiuli, and with a flick of her jade hand, a crimson ribbon flew into the air.
She flew away from Lingxi Peak on a colorful ribbon.
"Ye Xiyu looks grave... as if she's preoccupied. Could something have happened at Lingxiu Peak?"
Yang Jiuli watched the two leave, thinking to himself that he had lived a comfortable and leisurely life in the Ye family for the past six years. He would spend ten days every month cultivating in the cold veins, and he had already opened two Qi Palaces with the "Heavenly Fiend Body Refining Technique".
In short, the sheer power of his icy true energy is comparable to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator!
In fact, it is even better.
This rapid cultivation speed is entirely due to the near-third-tier Cold Fiend Spirit Vein.
And the miraculous effect of the Three Lives Stone in transforming cold and malevolent energy.
Now that the "Taiyin Evolutionary Divine Technique" has advanced to the mid-stage of the second level, its divine sense power has increased exponentially.
He will be more adept at activating the second-tier 'Past Life Talisman'.
Even if one were to activate the true spirit of the previous life's "Core Formation" to possess the body, there would be no need to use the "Soul Burning Technique".
In this way, he would have an extra means of survival, and he would not need to retreat even if he encountered a "fake Core Formation Master".
It can be said that these six years of peace and tranquility were quite important for Yang Jiuli, adding to his inner strength.
"Next, we just have to wait for 'Heart of Green Wood'!" Yang Jiuli whispered.
He withdrew his gaze and returned to the house.
……
Seven days later, the array light shield of "Lingxi Peak" hummed.
However, a messenger came to visit.
This is the messenger from Glacier Valley.
It was a letter sent by Qin Zhixue.
Yang Jiuli accepted the letter, rewarded the messenger with two low-grade spirit stones, and told him to come and collect the letter the next day before entering the courtyard.
The letter was opened.
Upon seeing the contents, Yang Jiuli was overjoyed.
In the letter, Qin Zhixue mentioned that in two months, they would be able to gather the materials that Yang Jiuli had mentioned.
Lu Wenqing will deliver it at that time.
In addition, she also mentioned that she had entered the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
Their array formation skills have also greatly improved.
"To advance from the early to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in just 15 years is indeed much faster than that of ordinary people!"
Yang Jiuli put away the letter, smiled slightly, and then thought to himself, "It's time to have Zhixue find some high-level talisman-making materials!"
Six years have passed.
In five years, the Mysterious Realm will open.
In order to ensure that Qin Zhixue finds the "Heart of Green Wood" in the secret realm, Yang Jiuli naturally has to make some preparations.
Subsequently, Yang Jiuli replied to Qin Zhixue.
He congratulated her on reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and informed her that he would also make some preparations for her trip to the "Mysterious Netherworld".
He then listed some materials.
He sent the letter the following day.
"Time... flies!" After the letter was sent, Yang Jiuli stood on the mountaintop and looked out at the peaks of the Nanling Mountains.
Upon gazing upon the towering peaks, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Six years.
He has never had such a good view of the peaks of the Nanling Mountains as he does today.
Now that his cultivation has broken through, he is able to relax his tense nerves.
Looking back now, he can't help but feel a pang of regret.
During those six years, Tang Yifan also sent letters.
He successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Realm three years ago.
Although it only established a mid-grade second-tier immortal foundation, "Earth Formation Rock" can still be considered a significant achievement!
As for Lu Wenzheng and Huang Cheng...
Lu Wenzheng then gave up on Foundation Establishment.
Huang Cheng's attempt to establish his foundation failed last year, and Yunmeng Lake has lost its former glory.
Because the Li family of Yunmeng Lake has recruited many top-tier first-level alchemists in recent years.
There were even two second-tier alchemists.
In addition, Li Yourong also successfully advanced to the second-level alchemist two years ago.
In this way, even if Huang Cheng possessed the alchemy skills of a first-class top-grade alchemist, it would become insignificant!
At this point, he was already considering leaving Yunmeng Lake after the contract expired and opening his own pill shop.
However, without the backing of a powerful clan, running a pill shop well is no easy task.
This puts them in a dilemma.
Yang Jiuli did not offer much advice on this matter.
This matter is of great importance and could affect the latter's entire life trajectory.
He simply advised Huang Cheng to be cautious and think things through before acting.
……
Three days later, they arrived at the Glacier Valley.
Cold Jade Side Peak.
Listening to Snow in the Villa.
Qin Zhixue received a letter from Yang Jiuli.
"These are near-Tier 3 talisman-making materials..." After looking at some of the materials, a thought struck her.
"Is Ninth Brother preparing to draw a near-third-tier talisman?"
Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, and she was very happy.
That expression was just like hearing that one's lover had passed the imperial examination with flying colors, feeling proud and honored.
