Chapter 52: Obtaining the Sacred Pellet

  In a grand and ancient hall, four figures appeared inside. One of them was an old man with white hair sitting upright, holding a cup of spiritual tea in his hand, while a young man in grey stood behind him.

  Across from them sat two young men, who were Ye Fei and Jin Xuan.

  "Are you a descendant of Feng Xianzi?" The old man put down his cup and took out a ring-shaped jade pendant, examining it carefully.

  Upon hearing this, Jin Xuan shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Brother Hui, we two are disciples of the Qian Ya Sect and have some connection with Madame Feng!"

  The old man nodded. "Oh, I see, okay, I won't ask any more questions either. So, Little Gray said you want to buy the Qiguan Sacred Dan?" The old man looked at Ye Fei with some doubt after finishing speaking.

  "Not bad," said Jin Zhan, "Aunt Feng said that this dan can only be found here!"

  "Well, this is not false, Xiao Hui, take out the sacred pill for them." The old man said slowly.

  As soon as the words fell, the young man in gray clothes held a dark green small bottle in his hand and placed it in front of Ye Fei's eyes. When Ye Fei saw this, he felt some urgency in his heart, although he tried his best to control his facial expression, but was still seen by the old man.

  "Since you have some connection with Feng Xianzi, I don't need to say more. The valley master has given the order, just sell it to you at cost price. Three thousand spirit stones." The old man said casually.

  Yefei's face twitched upon hearing this, as he was most annoyed by such words that cost him his dignity. Not only did he have to put on a show of affection, but he also had to play the role of a scapegoat. Most importantly, he simply didn't have that many spirit stones.

  Jin Ze also had a difficult expression on his face, apparently he didn't have that many spirit stones on him, and looked at Ye Fei with some helplessness.

  Looking at the old man, Ye Fei furrowed his brow and said: "I only have two thousand pieces of spirit stone left in my hand, so..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man.

  "It doesn't matter, Feng Xianzi and Gu Zhu have a deep relationship, and it's not worth arguing over one thousand Ling stones. Let's just make it two thousand then." As he spoke, the old man tossed the jade pendant in his hand, accurately landing it in Jin Xun's hands.

  Like this, Ye Fei, who originally thought that the spiritual stone was not enough, blurredly bought the Qiguan Shengjing Dan with a confused face, along with Jin Zhou. The two were sent out of Yao Shen Gu by the gray-shirted youth, and really didn't expect the old man to change his mind so suddenly, for 1,000 spiritual stones. However, in Ye Fei's heart, he was somewhat excited, his fate of being unable to build a foundation may have changed at this moment, as long as the meridians are repaired well, lifespan is no longer a problem.

  The young man returned to the great hall and also asked the old man questions.

  "Master, why are you still giving that kid a thousand pieces of spirit stone?" The grey-robed youth looked at the old man with some confusion after finishing speaking.

  "Haha, as the master of the valley intended, we don't even need to take a single piece of spiritual stone. This is all thanks to him refining elixirs; otherwise, how would we have gotten these benefits? Haha, you quickly go and guard the mountain gate, there are more sheep coming to be slaughtered." After finishing speaking, the old man's mouth curled up, and his eyes also became shining.

  ……

  A vast expanse of desolate wilderness, rarely seen by humans or beasts, surrounded by towering peaks of varying heights. Among them, a humble and unremarkable mountain peak hid a simple temporary cave dwelling. Inside, a young man dressed in white robes sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, sweat dripping from his brow.

  This man was none other than Ye Fei, who had just swallowed the Qi Bone Sacred Scripture Dan.

  The Yuán Rùn Dān medicine instantly transformed into a warm red current, blending with the internal Fa power, flowing through the meridians. Like a wild horse galloping freely, it made one feel invigorated and refreshed beyond compare.

  Yefei clearly felt that the originally somewhat fine meridians had thickened by more than double, and the circulation of his Fa power was extremely smooth. It seems that the time it takes to recover his Fa power will also be greatly reduced.

  At this time, Ye Fei personally controlled the law, driving the red warmth in his body to converge on the dantian. With a loud noise, the red warmth surged towards the dantian like a mighty wave crashing against the shore.

  A loud muffled sound!

  Several meridians near the dantian are blocked, as if by a massive stone weighing ten thousand catties. No matter how the flood-like energy surges forward, it is still unable to gather the spiritual power in the dantian.

  But Ye Fei wasn't in a hurry, because he felt the blocked meridians start to slowly expand, and with each wave of impact, a thread of black substance was brought out, eventually being submerged in the waves.

  "Not bad, I finally feel the blocked meridians loosening up a bit!" Ye Fei said with excitement in his heart. If this attempt is successful, the eighteen-year-old life lock on himself will be completely broken.

  No longer speaking, Ye Fei concentrated on controlling the Fa power in his body, bringing about a red warmth that flushed through him again and again. The blocked meridians were also becoming more and more relaxed.

  ……

  "What? Jin Xun, why didn't you come back with Ye? Now that he's in seclusion, he should need someone to guard him for a while." Yunwu Mountain Range edge, Wan Feng looked at Jin Xun with some confusion and said this, while Liu Gan also had an inquiring expression.

  Upon hearing this, Jin Xuan shook his head and sighed: "I've been rushing on the road for two months, you guys didn't even let me rest for a bit, so worried about your Ye Shixiong, do you think I'm not worried?"

  Wan Feng scratched his head with some embarrassment, Liu Gan also had a dry smile on his face. Like this, the three of them walked towards the depths of Yunwu Mountains while Jin Xuan began to tell them something.

  When Ye Fei and Jin Xuan left Yao Shen Valley, Ye Fei let Jin Xuan return first, while he himself wanted to find a place to retreat, as soon as possible to refine the elixir, repair his meridians. Now that he had less than a year of lifespan left, Ye Fei really didn't dare to wait any longer, who knows when he would die suddenly.

  Although Jin Xuan wanted to stay and take care of Ye Fei, he was ultimately rejected by Ye Fei. He had no choice but to return alone, not knowing where Ye Fei went into seclusion. Why did he have to drive him away?

  Actually, Ye Fei also had his own plan. If he failed again this time, it would mean that his fate could not be changed, so he sent Jin Xuan away.

  After the failure, I don't plan to return to Qianya Sect either, but will go back to Taoyuan Town, and investigate my parents' affairs. Although my abilities are limited now, after all, there is no extra time left for myself.

  Of course, Jin Ze didn't know any of this. He gave a rough account of the events to the two people, and the three figures gradually disappeared into the misty mountains.

  None of the three people noticed that in the mud not far from them, there was a pair of extremely agile eyes staring at them, rolling around and fixed on the three.

  ……

  In a temporary cave, Ye Fei was sitting cross-legged, but at this moment his expression was somewhat desolate, his eyes dull and his face decadent.

  "It's actually failed? Perhaps this is my fate!" After saying that, Ye Fei shook his head with a bitter smile and let out a sigh.

  Just a few days ago, Ye Fei was strenuously controlling the surge of Fa Li, repeatedly impacting the slightly loose meridians at the blocked area, but suddenly, the red warm current disappeared, leaving only the slow flow of Fa Li. Ye Fei knew that this was the disappearance of the medicinal effect.

  Not only did the loosened meridians become blocked again, but the originally expanded meridians actually shrunk back to their original size, all restored to their initial state. This couldn't help but make Ye Fei's heart turn cold and his expression become bewildered.

  Even the seventh-grade elixir was unable to cure his meridians, and Ye Fei really didn't dare imagine that he could obtain a higher-grade elixir within eight months. At least, this Youzhou should be a place where no one can refine it.

  After sitting still for three days and three nights, the luster in Ye Fei's eyes gradually recovered, his expression also became more determined, and his two fists were tightly clenched.

  "Since this is my fate, I'll do what I need to do. I just hope that nothing happens to my parents." After saying this, Ye Fei stood up, raised one hand, and with a whooshing sound, four small flags flew out from all directions and converged into his hand. The restrictive light barrier in the cave disappeared, and then he flashed out of the cave.

  More than a month later, at the edge of a dense forest, Ye Fei, who had just finished eating dry rations, was about to get up and hurry on his way when he suddenly narrowed his eyes and heard a sonic boom in the sky.

  As I looked up, a gray circular disc about the size of a zhang flew in from afar, high in the sky. It seemed to be a flying magical artifact. Those who could control such an artifact were at least foundation-establishing grandmasters.

  Seeing this, Ye Fei's expression changed and he quickly dodged to the side to avoid unnecessary trouble. This kind of person was not someone he could afford to provoke.

  Against his will, Ye Fei had just flashed away to a distant place, while the gray disc's light halo flashed once, and suddenly stopped at the position where Ye Fei was previously, then flew towards the direction where Ye Fei was, and slowly fell to the ground.

  "Uncle, I'll take him to vent my anger! Hmph, how hateful is the Medicine God Valley!" As soon as the voice fell, a young man in black clothes walked down from the flying tool. Looking at his face, he had some similarities with Qin Yi. Behind him stood an old figure, who was the Qi Foundation stage elder who went to the Medicine God Valley to buy spiritual pills but returned empty-handed before Ye Fei. (End of chapter)
