Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 654
In the mountains and forests, there is only one humanoid ice sculpture left.The stern man in white held the fairy flower, and without looking around, he raised his hand and swiped flatly in mid-air, and a twisted vortex automatically appeared.As the man walked in, a large amount of spatial air flow emerged from the vortex, completely obscuring his back in the blink of an eye.And the whole vortex slowly dissipated after that.

After a long time like this, cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the frozen ice sculpture.When the cracks spread all over the ice like a spider web, there was a "bang", and it exploded into small ice cubes.Ye Shuo's figure also reappeared at this time.Eyebrows and hair were covered with layers of frost, and the embarrassment a moment ago was still engraved in his blood like a shadow.

"Where's the Fairy Flower?" Ye Shuo hastily raised his head as soon as he got out of the confinement.Looking at the empty hands, he still didn't give up for a while, and asked the second daughter beside him.

Zhou Yuyan shook her head sadly at him, and said softly: "If there is no fairy flower, there will be no more. The important thing is that people are fine."

Ke Mei also echoed excitedly from the side: "Yes, that person just now is really amazing! He just raised his hand and froze Brother Ye with a 'swoosh'. You're petrified! Brother Ye has done a great job of protecting us from him!"

Ye Shuo sighed silently, feeling that all the strength in his body was drained, and he was so tired that he didn't even want to say another word to them.Turning around slowly, he staggered down the mountain.

On the way back, although the two daughters expressed that they didn't care about the loss of the fairy flower, and Zhou Yuyan even made an exception to comfort her, Ye Shuo still couldn't cheer up.Above his head, there seemed to be a layer of dark clouds floating all the time, covering his whole body in deep darkness.

He knew very well that the person just now had no intention of killing. If the other party really wanted to kill them all, I am afraid that the three of them would have died long ago.It was him who made Zhou Yuyan see hope first, and then lost it. With his own strength, he couldn't even protect their safety. He really couldn't be worthy of the second daughter's gratitude and trust.

"Have I really become so weak now?" Ye Shuo asked himself repeatedly along the way.Every time he asked, it also made the shadow in his heart a little bit heavier.

"I think that you are not weaker now, but have lost your Dao heart." After he had asked himself countless times, Qing Xiangxiong's voice suddenly rang in his head.

"Now you, whenever you encounter a problem, the first thing you think of is 'I can't do it' instead of 'how can I do it', and you put every failure on the lack of these three years. Yes, you lost three years, This is irreversible, but do these three years equal a lifetime in your eyes?
You only see the special case of your old man who succeeded three years later, but you don't see those people who are also facing failure but are still striving for self-improvement.If you continue to be trapped in self-pity, you will lose not only these three years, but your entire life! "

Ye Shuo's eyes widened suddenly, and every word Qing Xiangxiong said was like a lingering bell, resounding deeply in his heart.

These are all things that he used to avoid to face, but now they are so real in front of him... Yes, a person will always face many adversities and many powerful enemies in his life, and these are originally necessary for growth road.But after being in a coma for three years, he fell into a state of self-destruction.All the difficulties and failures are attributed to the lost three years.

Think about it carefully, even if he has cultivated well in the past three years, is he sure to break through to the sky-reaching state?The answer is naturally no.That being the case, why can't he laugh at the ups and downs, three years less than others, and use redoubled efforts to get back?

Thinking back now, he would agree to help the second daughter find the fairy flower, but the guilt was second to none, and the more important thing was that he had taken a fancy to their energy-gathering-level strength.Only in front of them can I continue to maintain the self-esteem of a strong man and enjoy their admiration and admiration safely... Such a self is really shameful.

"Qing Xiangxiong, thank you very much!" The dark clouds in Ye Shuo's heart were swept away, and the whole person suddenly became enlightened, and he couldn't help saying loudly.Ke Mei and Zhou Yuyan on the side were startled by him.

***
The wind and hell.

Luo Dixing and Yin Yang Shuangsha were waiting anxiously in the cave, and there was an old man with a gray beard standing beside him.The gorgeous badge on his chest proves that he is an eighth-rank pharmacist.

Such an honorable status is enough to make him a guest of honor in all the prominent families.But standing next to the legendary Raksha Ghost Emperor at this time, the old man was obediently standing with his head bowed, not even daring to raise the corners of his eyes any more before getting permission.

Luo Dixing's temper today was very irritable, he paced back and forth in the cave with his hands behind his back, and glanced at the entrance of the cave from time to time.Even the Yin-Yang Shuangsha, who was more familiar with him, did not dare to ask more questions at this time.

While he was so eager to see through, a space vortex finally slowly emerged in the snow in front of the cave entrance.Sen Cang's figure also became clearer under the wrapping of various air currents.

Luo Dixing's eyes lit up, he took the initiative to meet him, hurriedly stopped his prostration as usual, almost snatched the pure white lotus from his hand, and then hurriedly returned to the old alchemist, and took the lotus together Hand: "The fairy flower is here, let's start refining medicine!"

Since the Raksha Ghost Emperor announced the need to find a high-grade pharmacist, almost all the registration points have been leveled down by pharmacists who came from all over the place.

It's rare that this evil star asks for others. If he behaves well and can become his imperial pharmacist, then his family will have a chance to rise to the top.Even if it was not the case, it would be a rare thing for the Raksha Ghost Emperor to accept a favor from him.

For a time, as long as there is a certain grade of alchemist, everyone's nose is as high as the sky.And those who are engaged in the other nine special occupations are secretly regretting, why didn't they think of learning to refine medicine at the beginning?

In order to compete for the only place, all the alchemists used their housekeeping skills, and in the end they even wanted to fight.And this old alchemist finally stood out in the fierce competition precisely because of his outstanding skills and seasoned experience.

After all, in today's world, it is said that no one has reached the ninth rank pharmacist for a long time.The rank of the eighth rank has reached the pinnacle of the alchemy world invisibly.

After receiving the fairy flower, the old man carefully put it into the medicine cauldron, raised his hand, and all kinds of auxiliary medicinal materials were automatically suspended on the side, and each medicinal material was wrapped in a tiny cluster of spiritual light.With the manipulation of the old man's soul power, the light balls of medicinal materials were thrown into the cauldron one after another, and under the urging of spiritual power, a layer of faint blue flames automatically ignited under the medicinal cauldron.

This is the fire of the primordial spirit, the fire of alchemy commonly used by high-level alchemists.This fire is connected with the soul of the alchemist, and it usually only needs a little movement of the mind when manipulating it.Therefore, the control of the fire is much higher than that of ordinary flames.But every time it is used, it will inevitably cause a great loss of soul power, which is difficult for low-level alchemists to touch.

Dao Dao Guang group slowly churned in the cauldron, and gradually, a small amount of juice oozed out from the surface of the medicinal material, overflowing the light group, and subtly reacted with the components extracted from other medicinal materials.The sound of slight explosions continued continuously, and layers of bubbles floated up one after another, and then burst one after another.

The most difficult to refine is the fairy flower.After about half an hour, a few drops of clear dew slowly flowed down on the surface of the petals.Obviously, this is the legendary "Xianling Yulu" with various miraculous effects.

Once the Fairy Jade Dew entered the water, it gradually changed from being clear and transparent to an ice blue color, with a faint coldness overflowing from it.After being roasted by flames, the ice-blue jade dew quietly flowed, condensed into a blue film, and wrapped the rest of the medicinal materials.

The most critical moment is coming, the old man uses his soul power to promote the fusion of the medicine from time to time, every movement is meticulous.As a burst of strong medicinal fragrance emanated from the cauldron, several people onlookers also held their breath.

The power of various medicines has been preliminarily mixed, and the elixir has begun to take shape, and the next step is the most important step of "making the elixir".

The blue flames below the cauldron burned more and more intensely, and streams of fresh air mixed with the power of the medicine kept moving towards the center under the urging of the old man's spiritual power.But just as the color of the elixir became more and more clear, the energy in the entire cauldron suddenly became greatly disordered.Although Luo Dixing and the others were laymen, they could all see that the elixirs in this furnace were different.

At this point, the old man's complexion also changed drastically, and he hastily poured spiritual power into the furnace, trying to maintain the balance in the cauldron, but the fluctuation of the whole furnace's medicinal liquid became more and more violent, and even the entire cauldron was shaken.Finally, with a "bang", the cauldron exploded, and pieces of debris mixed with the residue of the liquid medicine were knocked over the ground.

The old man was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the spot and said, "Master Ghost Emperor, forgive me!"

Fu Mosheng came back to his senses first, and cursed angrily: "Such an important fairy flower was wasted, damn it!" He pulled out the long knife with a "shua", and the blade reflected brightly in the sunlight.

The old man had no time to pay attention to the long saber that was attached to his body, and just kowtowed to Luo Dixing again and again: "My lord Ghost Emperor, this is really not an old man who is not good at skills... This kind of situation will happen, probably because the fairy flower is fake!"

Sen Cang, who had been watching with cold eyes just now, turned his eyes sideways when he heard the words, and said coldly: "Impossible! I took the fairy flower myself, how could it be fake?"

Luo Dixing trusted Sen Cang, and his cold and murderous eyes instantly turned to the old man.

"Your Excellency Ghost Emperor doesn't know something," the old man bowed his head deeply, "the essence of this potion is the harmony of yin and yang. With the fairy flower as the guide, supplemented with the most yang material, the fairy jade dew is extremely cold, and it can be inhaled It has medicinal properties. But the cold energy contained in this flower is not enough, and the hot air overflows, which leads to the frying furnace... what the old man said is true!"

Han Diyue at the side pondered for a moment, then turned to Sen Cang: "Recall carefully, did you really pick this fairy flower from the fairy altar? Was there anyone else at that time?"

Sen Cang thought about it for a while, and replied: "At that time, I also met a few humans. I snatched this fairy flower from those humans... Could it be that they were replaced at that time?"

Fu Mosheng frowned: "We have already let out rumors that the fairy flower is wanted by the Ghost Emperor, who dares to be so bold?"

Sen Cang's thoughts changed sharply, and he bowed to Luo Dixing and said, "This subordinate will go find them again immediately! We must take back the fairy flower!"

Luo Dixing waved his hand indifferently, and said lightly: "Forget it, since the other party can exchange this flower in advance, they must have been prepared. Once they get the real product, how can there be no reason not to refine the fairy jade dew immediately? Even if you run for a while It’s probably futile, so let’s think of other ways.”

Turning his gaze, he helped the old alchemist up, and asked, "As far as you know, is there any similar medicinal material that can replace the fairy flower when refining this elixir?"

***
On the other side is the gate of Fushi.

Kemei sat in front of the vanity mirror, with a delicate plate beside her, which contained a small amount of clear liquid, which just covered the bottom of the plate.Kemei raised her hand and dipped it in the dish, then spread the liquid evenly on her face, raised her head slightly, and waited for the face to automatically absorb the medicine.

"This fairy jade dew really lives up to its reputation. After using it, the skin has really become more delicate and shiny!" After a long while, Kemei carefully looked at herself in the mirror, holding her smooth face with her hands, and from time to time said to her face. Put on a few beautiful expressions in the mirror.

"If I had told them early in the morning that the Raksha Ghost Emperor asked for this fairy flower, Brother Ye would definitely not help pick the flowers. Xiaomei really didn't hide it on purpose... But Brother Ye, you are so kind. Surely you won’t blame Xiaomei, right?”

After talking to herself a few words, Kemei smiled mischievously at the mirror again: "Also, if the Raksha Ghost Emperor wants to cause trouble in the future, Brother Ye, you should help take the responsibility by the way, hehe, Brother Ye is the best!"

Turning his eyes to the outside of the room, "By the way, at this time, everyone else is going out to listen to the teacher's father's lecture. Let's go and show Brother Ye and Yuyan what Xiaomei looks like now!"

Outside the room, Ye Shuo and Zhou Yuyan were sitting side by side in front of a small coffee table.At the beginning, Ye Shuo had persuaded her to come out to bask in the sun more often, but Zhou Yuyan was always reluctant to step out of the room because of her incomplete appearance.Now it seems that she made a temporary compromise to comfort Ye Shuo.

"Brother Ye, don't worry about the fairy flower. You have helped us a lot. Maybe this is my fate." Zhou Yuyan said softly, staring at the untouched tea in front of her.

"No, since there are fairy flowers in the world, there must be other ways to heal your face!" Ye Shuo said resolutely, "I will not give up. In the past three years, I used to be ashamed to say it, but I forgot, I am not the only one who lost the three years that I could fight for, you are also depressed... Now that I have stood up, I hope you can stand up too!"

Zhou Yuyan shook her head bitterly.Stand up... easier said than done?
"There is one thing, maybe I should tell you. In fact, Banxia..."

But before Zhou Yuyan finished speaking, Ke Mei ran out excitedly, showing a bright smile at the two of them.

"Brother Ye, Yuyan, look, how is Xiaomei looking today?"

Zhou Yuyan looked at her, with such a beautiful face, filled with all the vitality of a young girl... Originally, she could have such a perfect face...

Suddenly touching a sore spot in her heart, Zhou Yuyan could no longer sit still, got up hastily, and fled in despair.

"Hey, Brother Ye, why doesn't Yuyan seem very happy? Did Xiaomei say something wrong just now?" Kemei turned to Ye Shuo with a confused expression.

Ye Shuo glared at her.He felt that Ke Mei was clearly doing this intentionally. After living with Zhou Yuyan for so long, didn't she have a plan for what to say and what not to say?
Being interrupted like this, he forgot to ask what Zhou Yuyan wanted to say before.But thinking about it, it shouldn't be too important.
