Chapter 46 - visit eldest senior brother
The materials used for his early-stage pill refinement were all provided by Daoist Priest Qingxu. Ye Sheng didn’t have to worry about buying medicinal materials. He could concentrate on refining pills.
Once he learned the Qi condensation pill, he learned the next type of pill. Daoist priest Qingxu taught him happily, and Ye Sheng learned happily. He was immersed in it.
Just like that, another three days passed. Ye Sheng learned how to refine another type of pill, the body tempering pill. He also successfully refined one batch, and the pill became a seventh grade pill.
This speed made Daoist Priest Qingxu extremely satisfied, and he placed even more importance on Ye Sheng.
Three days later, Ye Sheng went down the mountain and returned to his own house. He didn’t really care that he didn’t see Beauty Zhou. In any case, Beauty Zhou often appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and no one knew where he was.
Body tempering pill. After taking it, it could temper the body’s strength, increase the density of the muscles, and increase the strength of the tendons and meridians. It was considered a relatively expensive pill.
To the current Ye Sheng, body tempering pill was the best pill. The strength of his body was very weak. It was slightly better than that of an ordinary person, but it could not reach the level of strength. Every time he strengthened the strength of Earth, Ye Sheng had to be careful. He did not dare to strengthen it too much, or else his tendons and meridians would crack, his body would explode.
After taking the body-tempering pill, Ye Sheng’s body would become stronger, and the increase in strength would be even greater. Now that Earth had entered the stage of universal cultivation, there would be more and more experts in the future. Ye Sheng had to strengthen his body.
In the long river, Ye Sheng did not move at all, allowing the rapid river water to hit his body. The zhenqi in his body circulated, refining the energy of the pill and transferring it into every inch of his muscles.
Ye Sheng’s body strengthened every minute and second.
When Ye Sheng finished his cultivation this time and came out of the river, all the muscles in his body became more solid. The improvement was still very significant. “Brother Ye, is brother Ye at Home?”A shout came from outside the door. It was Fang conglong
Ye Sheng said, “At home. How come brother Fang has the time to come and look for me?”
Creak. Ye Sheng pushed the door open and saw Fang conglong.
He hadn’t seen Fang conglong for a while and had become thinner, but he was full of vigor. His eyes were full of hope and vitality.
“Brother Ye, Have You Seen Beauty Zhou?”Fang conglong asked. Ye Sheng shook his head and said, “I’ve been in the monastery these few days. What happened to Beauty Zhou?”
“His sister was killed. Now the whole of Xianyang has heard about it,”Fang conglong said.
Ye Sheng’s expression changed, and he pretended to be indifferent and asked, “What exactly happened? Tell me in detail.”
The two of them came to the bench under the Locust Tree and sat down.
Fang conglong said, “You must be very busy to be under Priest Qingxu. You must be studying very hard. It’s normal that you don’t know.”. The quasi-sage Zhou family gave birth to a pair of dragon and Phoenix Twins, which were the beautiful Zhou siblings. The sister of the beautiful Zhou was a famous beauty among the descendants of Xianyang aristocratic families, but she was killed a few days ago and died in the maple forest outside the city.” Ye sheng frowned and said, “Zhou Yin ‘er left the city without any guards?”
“I’m not sure. Anyway, it’s rumored that someone familiar killed her. The quasi-sage was furious and asked the government to investigate the murderer. I’m here to ask if there’s any news about the beautiful Zhou?”Fang conglong said.
“Why do you care so much?”Ye Sheng asked curiously.
Fang conglong said sadly, “I have a crush on this Zhou Yin ‘er.”
“You have a crush on her?”Ye Sheng looked at Fang Conglong in surprise. “Yes, three years ago, Zhou Yin ‘er came out once at a flower festival in Xianyang. That time, she was so beautiful that even the flowers were ashamed. That night, Zhou Yin ‘er became the number one beauty in Xianyang. It was at that time that I took a look at her and thought about her tomb, “Fang conglong recalled happily, however, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t let me meet that murderer. Otherwise, I will definitely cut him into pieces. How could such a beautiful person do it?”
Ye Sheng lowered his head and didn’t want to speak. “Brother Ye, you really don’t know the whereabouts of Beauty Zhou?”Fang conglong asked again.
Ye Sheng shook his head and said, “I really don’t know. Looking at the dust in front of his door, it should have been a few days since he last came back.”
“Sigh, my goddess, why did she leave the world just like that? It’s simply Heaven’s envy of Beauties.”Fang conglong let out a long sigh and was filled with regret. It seemed that he was really heartbroken.
Ye Sheng did not know how to comfort him, so he did not say anything. He let Fang conglong vent for a while and then left.
Ye Sheng was alone in thought. He did not expect that the person that Beauty Zhou asked him to kill was actually his sister.
In fact, when he saw the two people’s looks, Ye Sheng had already suspected. However, without any evidence, it was not easy to make wild guesses. Now that Fang Conglong had told him the truth, Ye Sheng was still very surprised.
There were many suspicious points in this matter. If he asked Beauty Zhou about it, he should be able to get some information out of her. However, Ye Sheng felt that it was too troublesome. He wanted to repay beauty Zhou for saving his life. As long as it was not traced back to him, he would allow the outside world to cause a ruckus, thus, he began to refine pills silently in ji Xia Academy.
Twelve days passed by in the blink of an eye.
During these twelve days, Beauty Zhou really did not return. It was as if she had been removed from Ji Xia Academy. The dust in front of the door piled up on the ground. Ye Sheng could not stand it and helped him clean up this morning.
In these twelve days, Ye Sheng’s body strength had increased by at least three times. He ate nine body tempering pills and refined pills for half a day every day. He also learned how to refine five different types of pills.
As he entered the rudiments, Ye Sheng learned things even faster than Priest Qingxu had thought. Ordinary people needed to spend a month figuring things out, but with Ye Sheng, it took two hours. Although refining pills was tedious.., however, Ye Sheng dedicated himself to research day and night. He put all his heart and soul into it and made rapid progress. He was already a qualified Junior Alchemist, which Priest Qingxu admitted personally. After cleaning beauty Zhou’s room that day, Ye Sheng went straight to the monastery. During his days in Ji Xia Academy, he would go back and forth between these two places. He would not set foot in other areas. Ye Han had tried to find trouble with Ye Sheng several times, however, Ye Sheng had avoided it. If he was not in the monastery, he would have changed the time. This made ye Han mad with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Everyone in ji Xia Academy knew that Ye Sheng was under the tutelage of Priest Qingxu. He went in and out of the monastery all day long, making the other disciples jealous and eager to replace him.
Ye Sheng was already a somewhat famous person in ji Xia Academy without his knowledge. This fame also spread to King Ye’s mansion. Hu Mei and first lady knew about it, and their faces were gloomy.
At the entrance of the monastery, Second Senior Brother Dao Ming was wearing a new Daoist robe. His small body stood straight and his face was solemn. When he saw Ye Sheng coming over, he suddenly broke through his cultivation, he waved his small hand and said, “Junior Brother Ye Sheng, I’m here. My Days of guarding the gate are over.”
The one-year period had completely ended yesterday. Today was the time that Ye Sheng and second senior Brother Dao Ming had agreed on. They were going to visit eldest senior brother.
Priest Qingxu also knew that he had given ye Sheng a holiday, so he let ye Sheng and Dao Ming go down the mountain together.
“Second senior brother, Congratulations, Congratulations.”Ye Sheng came close and laughed loudly.
Dao Ming couldn’t help but smile. He said, “I’ve finally ended this kind of life. From now on, I can cultivate. But let’s go see eldest senior brother first. I miss eldest senior brother.”
“Let’s go.”Ye Sheng picked up Dao Ming. His body was as light as a swallow as he ran down the mountain forest.
