Volume 2: Wu Enters Witchcraft Chapter 84: The Dangers of Unwise Friendships

  Su Qiaoqiao sat in Ye Xu's arms, her legs and feet stretched out, running like electricity. She only felt the trees on both sides of the road flashing by, and raised her head to say: "Young master, where are we going?"

  She was also leaving Liuzhou for the first time and was extremely unfamiliar with the world outside of Liuzhou, feeling a sense of confusion in her heart.

  "We'll head north directly and go to the Liang Wang Fu in Qingzhou, complete the master's entrustment." Ye Xu said with a smile, completely unaware that the jade box in his arms was a hot potato.

  After a while, Gan Chai Jiao finally ran onto the official road. Ye Xu reined in his horse and saw two fine horses stopped beside the road, with Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen Duan sitting on their backs.

  "Father and Xiao Bai Mian knew you would pass by here, have been waiting for you for a long time!"

  Zhou Shiwen raised an eyebrow and smiled slyly: "Shaobao, if there's anything that's been bothering you lately, don't hesitate to share it with us so we can all have a good laugh."

  Ye Xue was taken aback, knowing that the Eagle Gorge and the giant city in the sky behind it were also extremely shocking to them. The two of them also had the idea of leaving Liu Zhou to travel around, so he smiled and said: "Is there something unhappy about Brother Zhou?"

  Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen's faces suddenly turned gloomy, their brows furrowed in worry.

  Fang Chen said listlessly: "Indeed there is something unpleasant. But even if we say it, you won't be happy about it either."

  "What's going on?" Ye Xu asked curiously.

  "Ha! It's just them being caught by a certain household!"

  A strange laugh came from the mountain forest by the road, and a bird-headed man slowly walked out of the forest, staring at Ye Xu, and said with a smile: "Ye Qin Ye Shao Bao, our family has been waiting for you for a long time!"

  "Is Qin Ye's younger brother?"

  Ye Xu was stunned and hastily explained: "Mr. Ying, I indeed have a pen name, but it's not Ye Qin, Ye Qin is my older brother!"

  "Yeh brother, you're probably not too happy now either, right?" Zhou Shiwen winked at him and chuckled.

  Fang Chen said calmly, "Brother Qin, it's best if you don't try to quibble. Back at Eagle Gorge, Mr. Ying had already met you once. He never forgets a face, and your little thoughts can't escape his sharp eyes."

  Ye Xu glared at Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen, but the two of them just shrugged their shoulders, ignoring him, leaving him with a feeling of being careless in his choice of friends.

  "Mr. Eagle, my young master is really not Ye Qin." Su Qiaoqiao sat on the horse, softly defending Ye Xu.

  "Ha ha, little girl, are you doubting someone's intelligence?"

  Mr. Eagle sneered, waving his hand: "I've been to Liangzhou before, but I couldn't find my son, Eagle Jiuxiao. That bastard Ye Yun doesn't know where he took him! Since Ye Sida's servant kidnapped my son, our family will kidnap his son in return. Let him come and redeem it himself! And you two little rascals, don't even think about running away!"

  Zhou Shiwen was shocked and quickly called out: "Mr. Ying, since you've already caught Ye Qin, can't you just let us two go? We're not worth anything to you!"

  "Less nonsense, let's go! Otherwise, a certain family won't mind having you two as an appetizer first!"

  Mr. Eagle had no intention of killing them, he just wanted to hold them for ransom and exchange them for his own son, Eagle Jiuxiao, but Ye Xu was still nervous, who knew when this demon would renege on the deal.

  Mr. Eagle led the four of them walking northeast, Ye Xuan was curious and asked: "Mr. Eagle, where are we going?"

  "We'll go to Yuezhou, the closest place to Liu Zhou. Once we're there, I'll send someone with a message for Ye Si Dao, asking him to find Ye Lun and bring my son to redeem you."

  Yuezhou...

  Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen's faces suddenly looked even more unsightly, not long ago the three of them encountered the witch doctor of the Yuan family from Yue state at Hei Wu Ling, the two young masters of the Yuan family ambushed them but ended up dying in their hands.

  This time they went to Yue State, but I'm afraid it won't be so pleasant.

  Ye Xue didn't say a word, and immediately activated the Zhoutian Starlight Refining Qi Technique, drawing in the star power from all directions, which poured into his body and transformed into yuanqi.

  He had originally cultivated to the peak of Prenatal Fourth Rank, only one step away from entering Prenatal Fifth Rank. At this moment, he activated the power of the twenty-eight constellations and saw the solar primordial energy, the seven luminaries' starlight, the Ziwei Emperor's aura, and various other messy and disorderly star energies being drawn into his body, transforming into his own cultivation.

  After a moment, the yuanqi in his dantian reached a state of perfection, rumbling and shaking, forcibly expanding his dantian by more than ten times!

  Mr. Eagle was amazed and asked in doubt, "Young man, your talent is not bad, you can enter the fifth rank of Pei Yuan in a short period of time, but how did you spend so many years to cultivate to your current state?"

  Ye Xue ignored him, meanwhile operating the Nine Turns of Primordial Movement. The primordial energy in his dantian changed once again, transforming from white to blue, and was drawn by the primordial movement to all parts of his body, nourishing his physical form, spirit, and soul.

  Su Jiaojiao said timidly on the side: "Mr. Ying, my young master's name is really not Ye Qin..."

  Mr. Eagle burst into a rage and shouted: "You little girl, how dare you doubt the intelligence of our family? Do you believe I can eat you up?"

  Qiao Qiao stuck out her tongue and suddenly lit up, attracted by his bright feathers, and couldn't help but envy: "Mr. Eagle, your feathers are really beautiful."

  "Ji ji, this little girl still has some insight. Ever since a certain family refined the demon yuan, she has been very fond of these feathers, washing and tempering them with demon yuan every day, which is why they are so radiant. Now, the feathers on her body have reached a hardness that can rival those of a witch's sword, even if a witch's spell were to hit her, it wouldn't leave any marks."

  Mr. Eagle was quite pleased with himself, and his impression of Su Qiaoqiao had improved a lot. He chattered on: "Actually, the most beautiful feathers on my body are not my wings, but the crest on top of my head! Look!"

  Only to see this eagle-headed, human-bodied demon, a small bunch of feathers suddenly stood up on its head, with bright colors, like an open fan, swaying slightly in the wind.

  Su Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled with admiration as she exclaimed: "It's really beautiful!"

  She thought to herself: "I'd love to pluck out this bunch of feathers and make a fan... hmm, sticking it on my hat as an ornament wouldn't be bad either..."

  Mr. Eagle was delighted, his good impression of her skyrocketing, and he laughed: "You have a good eye for people, and you're likable too. If someone's hungry at home, they should eat that big beard and that little white face first, and put you and that kid last."

  "Why eat us first?"

  Fang Chen and Zhou Shiwen glared at him, but the demon didn't care, coldly laughing: "You two have the lowest cultivation, and you don't know how to flatter certain people, so your value is greatly discounted. Who should I eat first? With your cultivation, leaving Liu Zhou is seeking death. Rather than dying at someone else's hands, it's better to let me fill my stomach."

  The two of them exchanged a silent glance, sighed, and knew that what he said was not wrong. In the remote area of Liu Zhou, they could still be considered top-notch, but in the outside world, their kind of witch doctors were a dime a dozen.

  The two immediately calmed down and began to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth, taking the opportunity to cultivate and improve their cultivation.

  Mr. Eagle looked at Ye Xu again and muttered to himself, "This kid was cultivating so quickly just now, how did he suddenly slow down?"

  Ye Xue had just been cultivating the Zhou Tian Star Dou Lian Qi technique, and his cultivation had made rapid progress at a terrifying speed. However, at this moment, he was simultaneously operating the Nine Turns of Yuan Gong, and his cultivation growth rate suddenly plummeted, becoming unbearably slow.

  Mr. Eagle's cultivation had reached the Three Realms of Mixed Yuan period, his eyes were like torches, and he could naturally see this change.

  "It turns out that he was cultivating two different heart methods at the same time, one to increase his yuanqi and the other to use his yuanqi to temper his body. His cultivation and physical body were advancing simultaneously, which is a good method."

  Mr. Eagle nodded in praise, but his tone suddenly changed as he sneered: "However, you're also foolish to the extreme! Although I don't know what two kinds of heart methods you've cultivated, I do know that your cultivation sequence has gone wrong. With this method of yours, your speed is tens of times slower!"

  Ye Xu stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes, asking in confusion: "May I ask, sir, how should I cultivate?"

  Mr. Eagle smiled proudly and said, "My family has lived for 150 years this year. If we talk about the experience of cultivation, Ye Si Dao is far inferior to me. Young man, you should first focus on cultivating the heart method to increase your yuan energy until you reach the solid yuan period, then cultivate the heart method to refine your flesh body, and let the two heart methods progress together. Only in this way will you not delay your cultivation progress."

  "What is meant by the Consolidation Period is that the amount of yuanqi has stabilized and will no longer increase, what needs to be increased is only the quality upgrade. Cultivating to the Consolidation Period, your speed of drawing in the heavenly and earthly yuanqi is now dozens of times faster! When you cultivate the mind method of refining the flesh at the Consolidation Period again, not only does the speed increase, but also the progress of cultivation will not be delayed."

  Ye Xue heard this, and suddenly felt a clarity in front of him, as if the clouds had parted to reveal a clear sky. Mr. Ying's words undoubtedly opened up a new path for him, accelerating his cultivation speed by an unknown number of times!

  He immediately adjusted his collar and said seriously: "Thank you, sir, for your advice."
