Ye Bufan had a sarcastic look on his face: "I'm laughing at you, you have some bullshit backbone and some stupidity!"
Zhang Qiaochu's cheeks were swollen and red, and his eyes were blazing: "Nonsense, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. What Zhang Qiaochu lacks most is integrity. Even if I die, I must keep my dignity!"
"A scholar can be killed without humiliation? Are you worthy of the title of scholar? You are just a fool!"
Ye Bufan sneered, "When you were beaten like a dog by Jiufang Xie just now, where was your dignity?
Where is your dignity when your head is stepped on by others?
When your life and death are controlled by others at any time, and you may be slapped to death at any time, where is your dignity?"
"I……"
Zhang Qiaochu was speechless by Ye Bufan's words. At this moment, his chest felt as if it could explode at any moment, but he had nothing to say. After all, all of this was true.
Ye Bufan took a step forward and looked at him with eyes as sharp as a knife.
"You have lived for so many years, haven't you figured out what is most important to a monk? Is it your so-called integrity and dignity?
If you don’t know yet, let me tell you now, the most important thing for a monk is cultivation, without cultivation you are nothing!”
"I……"
Zhang Qiaochu's old face turned the color of pig liver, as if he could bleed at any moment. He naturally understood what Ye Bufan said, but Wen Susu completely covered his eyes.
Ye Bufan said again: "It's okay that you fall in love with Fairy Caiyi, but do you have the qualifications? At least you don't have it now!
When you can trample Jiufang Xie under your feet, when you can stand on top of the entire continent, when you can control your own life and death, then you will have this qualification.
Instead of holding on to your poor backbone and dignity like you are now, sticking your head in the sand and not making progress, this is what a complete coward does!"
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, several people present fell silent. They all understood this truth, but they were far from understanding it as thoroughly as they do now.
It is no exaggeration to say that these sonorous words just now shocked their hearts greatly.
For a cultivator, the most important thing is strength. Without strength, everything else is just a cloud.
Zhang Qiaochu stood there, the momentum and anger on his body slowly dissipating.
He is naturally a smart person, otherwise he would not be able to become an outstanding core disciple of Xuantian Sect, nor would he be able to reach the middle stage of transcending the tribulation.
Under the gazes of several people, he finally lowered his head with a dejected expression.
"I was wrong before, I am willing to accept your elixir!"
In the end, he chose to lower his head. If this scene was seen by other people in Xuantian Clan, their jaws would definitely drop in surprise.
You must know that among the entire sect, Zhang Qiaochu is definitely the proudest one. He has never bowed his head to admit his mistakes before.
"Haha, you are really not stupid enough."
Ye Bufan flipped his wrist and played with a crystal clear elixir on his fingertips.
"As long as you eat it, you can be promoted from the middle stage of Tribulation to the late stage.
As a core disciple of Xuantian Clan, you don’t know how precious this elixir is, right?
It is no exaggeration to say that it is priceless. As long as I take it out, countless people are willing to lose everything to exchange it. But why do you act like I am begging you now?
Forget it, since you are as stupid as rotten wood, I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
After he finished speaking, he waved to the others in Lanxi, then turned and left.
Zhang Qiaochu stood there, the expression on his face constantly changing, obviously undergoing an extremely fierce psychological struggle.
Seeing Ye Bufan walking further and further away, Gong Junyi's voice message rang in his ears.
"Junior Brother Zhang, I guarantee you will only have this great opportunity once in your life. Don't miss it or you will regret it for the rest of your life, and it will only make Junior Sister look down on you even more!"
After hearing these words, Zhang Qiaochu suddenly woke up and no longer cared about his previous pitiful face and dignity. He came to Ye Bufan in a flash and fell to his knees with a plop.
"Please give me the elixir from Medical Immortal Ye. I, Mr. Zhang, will never forget this great kindness in my life!"
Ye Bufan stopped and looked down for a long time.
"This is how you should look."
After speaking, he flicked his finger and a bullet fell into his palm.
About an hour later, Zhang Qiaochu's momentum continued to rise, and he finally entered the ranks of the late stage of transcending the tribulation.
"You all seize the time to go back and consolidate your cultivation. We will set off here tomorrow."
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he turned around and left. The reason why he brought Zhang Qiaochu here was to help him, and secondly, to return a favor to Xuantianmen.
After returning to his residence, he comforted Lan Xi again. Since the other party must have kidnapped Xiao Zizi to threaten him, there would be no danger until the purpose was achieved.
He was comforting his wife like this, but in fact he was worried about her in his heart.
He was a father for the first time and had a lovely daughter for the first time. Because he had implicated the little one, he felt guilty and anxious.
But there is no way. At this point, we can only go down step by step. If we are too anxious, it will be counterproductive.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered in front of Ye Bufan's door early. After a night of practice, they had completely stabilized their newly improved realm.
Compared with yesterday, the energy of these people has reached its peak, and they are all high-spirited and energetic.
Now there are thirty people in the early stage of transcending the tribulation, twelve in the middle stage of transcending the tribulation, plus three in the late stage of transcending the tribulation. So many strong people in the stage of transcending the tribulation are gathered together, and a powerful momentum fills the whole place.
Ye Bufan walked up to everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Everyone, hide your cultivation and suppress it to the state before yesterday."
Everyone who has reached this level is an old man, and they immediately understood his intentions. Sometimes power can be most effective only when it is hidden in the dark.
Led by Wen Susu and others, everyone began to restrain their auras and lowered their cultivation level by one level. They looked exactly the same as yesterday.
"Okay, let's go."
Now that everything was ready, Ye Bufan didn't say much, and took the lead in rising into the air and leading everyone towards the east.
Few people have heard of the name Blood River before, because it is a forbidden area in Tianluo Prefecture.
Legend has it that the place is surrounded by blood all year round, and no matter what kind of cultivation level you enter, you will either die or not.
Moreover, there are no genius treasures in it and it is completely unprofitable. Over time, it has become a forbidden place for all monks to stop, and no one pays attention to it at all.
If the Holy Blood Sect hadn't notified the Blood River this time, people would have even forgotten about this place.
This place is extremely far away from the Daxing Empire. Even with everyone's cultivation, it would take a day to reach it.
Anyway, there was still enough time, and Ye Bufan did not sacrifice Jiutian. Sometimes it is better to hide the means of escape.
He trampled the dragon's teeth under his feet and took Lanxi Xiaoqing and others to fly with his sword.
The others also relied on their powerful cultivation to cut through the sky at extremely fast speeds, running towards the Blood River.
