Chapter 1 Unwilling
To the east of Jin State, near the Endless Sea, a sword light rose into the sky like a straight dangerous peak, breaking through the sky. The faint silver sword light exuded a sharp momentum, covering a radius of thousands of miles.
This is the leading immortal cultivation sect in Jin State, the Tianjian Sect!
Three years ago, Ye Yun, who was twelve years old, left his hometown and passed layers of assessments, so he became a traitor disciple.
The errand disciples of the Tianjian Sect are enough to make local officials and warriors of Jin State look up to them in the secular world.
However, in the Tianjian Sect, there are many errand disciples like Ye Yun. There are nearly a thousand people in their place, and they have no status at all. They can be said to be the lowest slave.
However, once a traitor disciple passes the assessment and becomes an outer disciple, it will turn into a dragon and rise to the sky.
In the outer courtyard, the errand disciples shuttled and went, and everyone's face was full of rush, and there were countless things waiting to be completed every day.
"It's only one month before the assessment of the disciples of the outer sect this year. With my current cultivation level, I don't know if there is hope." Ye Yun stood on a rock and looked into the distance, as if he had traveled through the clouds and saw the hall of the towers that were looming in the depths of the clouds. That was where only formal disciples of the Tianjian Sect could go.
Bang!
The sound of breaking through the air squeaked and exploded on Ye Yun's back.
"Ye Yun, the hundreds of feathered grasses have not been collected yet, but are you wasting your time here?" Liu Daolio, wearing a cloud-patterned brocade robe, appeared behind him, holding a whip in his hand, full of mocking expressions.
Ye Yun gritted his teeth slightly, and a burning pain came from his back.
Liu Daolio is his uncle. Nearly a thousand errand disciples in the Medicine Valley are under the jurisdiction of Liu Daolio on weekdays. Liu Daolio's cultivation qualifications are extremely ordinary, which is worse than most of their errand disciples. However, he started early and his cultivation level is at least one small level higher than all errand disciples. His cousin Liu Yu is a disciple of Tianzhu Peak. Tianzhu Peak is only a outer sect that refines some middle-grade or lower elixirs in the entire Tianjian Sect. However, formal disciples of the outer sect can already contact some real immortal cultivation methods, and their status is very different from those of them.
Ye Yun is often criticized by Liu Daolio, but he endured it for the dream of cultivating immortals in his heart.
Seeing Ye Yun silent for a moment, Liu Daolio narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly sneered, and the whip in his hand slapped Ye Yun's body again, "Why, I want me to ask again?"
The whip happened to hit Ye Yun's eyebrows, and suddenly there was a bloodstain, and his scalp was so painful that it exploded. As long as it was lowered, Ye Yun's eyes would probably be injured.
"Eighteen trees are missing." Ye Yun's blood surged onto his face, but he forced himself to hold it back and said in a deep voice with his head down.
"I dare to waste time when there is so much difference." Liu Daolio smiled, "It seems that you don't just don't want the spiritual stones of this month's cultivation, but you still want to go to the Spirit Beast Tower."
The Spirit Beast Tower is a place where the Tianjian Sect specializes in taming monsters. The tamed monsters need to fight against people to increase practical experience and get in touch with their masters. These errand disciples and some of the captured opponents of the Tianjian Sect often become the auxiliary training of monsters. With the cultivation of the errand disciples, it is almost impossible to survive by entering the spiritual beast tower to train.
"Uncle Liu Daolio, you have hundreds of feathered plants that have been intersected by the end of the month, and there are still eighteen, so it should be too late." Ye Yun didn't feel much scared, but he was even more violently angry in his heart, but he knew that even if he sacrificed his life, he could not be Liu Daolio's opponent, so he could only force himself to endure it. The nails on his palms pierced into the flesh and blood because of excessive force.
"It was the end of the month before, but now it is today." Liu Daolio looked at Ye Yun mockingly and said, "The Tianzhu Peak has changed, and the required feather-transformed grass needs to be handed over before nightfall today."
"Before night today?" Ye Yun jumped up almost suddenly, unable to contain his anger anymore, and shouted: "It's less than three hours, how could it be too late?"
"There are three hours left, so how could it be too late? Besides, I heard that you are also dissatisfied with me before, or changing to the Spirit Beast Tower would be more suitable for you." Liu Daolio laughed, glanced at Ye Yun with a sarcastic look, and turned around and left.
Ye Yun looked at his back, clenched his fists, and his whole body trembled.
Although the feather-transformed grass is not an extremely precious herb, it is almost impossible to find eighteen plants in less than three hours. It took more than half a month for the eighty-two feather-transformed grasses to be used to collect 100 plants at once. How could it be so easy?
After hearing Liu Daolio's words just now, he knew that Liu Daolio had already set his sights on him, and this time he seized such an opportunity and wanted to kill him once.
"Liu Daolio! Although I am usually dissatisfied with you, I endure it and never show it. At most, I don't like some people, so that you will deal with me. I, Ye Yun, swear here that as long as my cultivation exceeds you one day, I must make you pay the price you deserve!"
Ye Yun's heart was beating violently, and every breath seemed to burn and hurt between his chest and abdomen.
But he knew very well that he had to overcome the current difficulties first.
...
The Yunlong Mountain Range where the Tianjian Sect is located stretches for thousands of miles, with strange peaks and rugged rocks. Monsters are rampant in the mountains, and strange flowers and plants can be seen everywhere. For thousands of years, the Tianjian Sect has gradually driven the monsters to the depths of the mountains and given them a place to live, called Monster Valley, so as not to be attacked when the sect disciples enter the Yunlong Mountain Range to collect spiritual materials for cultivation.
However, the Tianjian Sect did not drive all the monsters together, but separated them as much as possible according to the grade level, and set up a forbidden formation to isolate the possibility of high-level monsters coming out of the depths of the mountains. In this way, the Monster Valley becomes a trial ground for disciples of the Tianjian Sect, and enters areas that can have substantial trial effects based on their strength.
The Feather-Carrying Grass is available in all areas of the Monster Valley. For the outer disciples, the two outer layers are low-level monsters, and they can be killed with one hand. However, for the errand disciples who have not obtained the real practice of the Heavenly Sword Sect, even the outermost layer is very dangerous.
"In the past half month, I have searched almost all the outermost areas, and the feathered grass has been basically drawn. Only by fighting and entering the second layer can I complete the collection in such a short time."
About twenty miles east of the outer courtyard, a towering ancient tree towers into the clouds. You can see it in the outer courtyard. This is the sign of one of the entrances of the Monster Beast Valley. After passing this ancient tree, you step into the range of the Monster Beast Valley.
Ye Yun appeared under the towering ancient tree with sweat on his head, looked in front of him, frowned slightly, and stepped into the demon beast valley.
The moment he leaped over the ancient tree, the scenery in front of him immediately changed tremendously. The clear sky disappeared, the leisurely white clouds were nowhere to be found, and the whole world fell into darkness. From time to time, the roars and hiss of monsters came from the depths, as if they were right in front of him, which was terrifying.
This is the place where the Heavenly Sword Sect trains its disciples.
Ye Yun raised his hand and pointed it lightly, and a faint soft light rose from his body, staying on top of his head, illuminating the space within a radius of dozens of meters.
This soft light is called the Wei Guang Jue. All tragic disciples must practice. In the Valley of Monsters, only the soft light of this Wei Guang Jue can break through the darkness and see the surroundings clearly. Of course, if you become a disciple of the outer sect of the Tianjian Sect, you have a more advanced spiritual technique, or even a magic weapon. It is said that you can clear the darkness within a radius of 1,000 meters, and the light shines in a tiny detail.
In half a month, Ye Yun used the faint light brought by this Glitter Light Art to search almost all the outermost layer of the Monster Valley, and found eighty-two feathered grasses. In addition to unimaginable patience and tenacious will, it also requires luck. You should know that although there are not too powerful monsters in the outermost layer of the Monster Valley, if there are groups of one or two monsters, they can also kill a tragic disciple like Ye Yun.
In less than three hours, it is impossible to complete the task if you want to find the eighteen feather grasses. Unless you jump over the outermost first floor and enter the second floor. Because the number of feather grasses in the second floor will be much larger, and generally there will be no servile disciples who can enter, the outer disciples will naturally not waste time collecting such low-level spiritual medicines. As long as you enter, you will probably be able to complete the task in one hour. However, the lowest level of the monsters in the second floor are also the second level, and the third-level monsters appear from time to time. With Ye Yun's cultivation level in the third level of body refining, he is simply a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
A stone tablet appeared in front of Ye Yun. Under the faint soft light, a blood-red luster faintly flowed on the surface of the tablet.
This is the second boundary marker.
Since he made the decision, Ye Yun would no longer hesitate. He took a deep breath and jumped over the stone tablet in his flashing figure.
The soft light emitted by the Glittering Technique suddenly seemed to be gently shaken by the wind, and then the view could reach only ten meters.
Ten meters away, it was pitch black and I could no longer see anything.
"No wonder the outer disciples can practice the Wei Guang Art that is more advanced. It turns out that the second layer of the Monster Valley is so dark. I am afraid that if the Wei Guang Art I practice now enters the third layer, it will have no effect." Ye Yun looked around with the help of the faint soft light, and his face became much more serious. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to find the Feather-turned Grass as soon as possible with such a vision.
Since he had entered the second level, Ye Yun did not want to waste his time. He bent over, walked slowly, and focused on finding the feather grass.
There are basically no errand disciples on the second floor who dare to enter, and outer disciples rarely come in person to find valuable materials such as the Feather-Crafting Grass. According to Ye Yun's idea, some should be found.
As expected, in less than ten minutes, in the faint soft light, a half-foot-high grass appeared in Ye Yun's sight. The blue rhizomes and blue leaves were the most prominent feature of the feathered grass, which can be seen at a glance.
Ye Yun was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that one in the second floor could be found so easily. At this speed, it might be possible to complete the task in more than two hours.
The second plant came easily, and then the third plant, the fourth plant...
Ye Yun really didn't expect to discover a large number of feather-transformed grasses so easily. In just one hour, eight of them had already been picked.
"Liu Daolio, you wouldn't have thought that I was so lucky. When I surpass you, I must get back the humiliation of the past." Ye Yun saw the ninth feather grass again, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"No, how could so many feather-like grass grow almost in the same area?" Ye Yun found that he seemed to have overlooked something, "No, feather-like grass is cold in nature, and third-level monsters like to eat feather-like grass to enhance the ice in their bodies, could it be..."
call out!
Just when Ye Yun realized something was wrong, a cold light appeared behind him, cutting through the void, and shot straight into his vest with a sizzling sound.
Ye Yun's hair stood upside down and subconsciously rolled forward. A light blue cold light brushed his vest and cut off the corner of his clothes.
Ye Yun looked up and saw less than ten meters away, two big white snakes sitting cross-legged on the grass. A cold chill was emitted from the faint light, and the scarlet letter made a sizzling terrifying sound.
Chapter completed!
