Ye Xuan was led by a waiter to a pavilion in the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Sir, please wait here with them. When the twenty people are elected, our city lord will appear." The male waiter said with a smile, then turned and left.
At this time, there were three people in the pavilion, and one of them was the black-robed old man at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm.
The other two were a woman in red robe and a burly man.
The aura of the red-robed woman was very powerful, and she was actually a person at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm.
As for the burly man, he was at the third level of the Martial King Realm. He sat cross-legged and meditated, his whole body exuding an earthy yellow light, and waves of heaviness rippled around him.
Ye Xuan's eyes flashed. The burly man should be a gravity martial soul master.
Seeing Ye Xuan's arrival, the three of them also looked at each other. After sensing that Ye Xuan was only at the first level of the Martial King Realm, a hint of surprise flashed through the eyes of the three of them, as if they were surprised that a person with a first level of Martial King Realm
can also pass the test.
But then the old man in black robe withdrew his gaze, and the red-robed Feng/Manchu woman gave Ye Xuan a friendly smile and said:
"I am Fan Xuan, this is my husband, Jiang Wu."
"It's Ye Yu." Ye Xuan also introduced himself.
The burly man named Jiang Jian snorted softly, closed his eyes and breathed out his vitality again.
The Feng/Man woman covered her mouth and smiled, "Ye You, don't be offended, my husband is so virtuous."
Ye Xuan shook his head, wondering what it had to do with him, then walked to a place, sat down alone, closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Seeing that Ye Xuan didn't want to talk much, the plump woman looked at Ye Xuan with her peach-blossom eyes. After thinking about it, she closed her eyes with a slight smile.
For a while, the pavilion fell into silence again.
The reason why Ye Xuan showed that he reached his limit with every sword strike before was because he didn't want people to see the depth of his strength. Although he still blocked five swords, under his performance, it was difficult for outsiders to guess his true strength.
of combat power.
When he didn't want to waste it, Ye Xuan once again comprehended the third level of the devouring technique.
And the last three levels of mental methods all talk about how to cultivate and use the 'eating seed'.
In the following time, my mind was completely immersed in the mysterious and infinite mental method. As time passed, more Martial Kings who passed the test arrived in the recommendation pavilion, but they were all at the third and fourth levels of the Martial King Realm, let alone the first level of the Martial King Realm.
Even a Martial King at the second level of Martial King Realm failed the test and came to this pavilion.
Half a day later, Ye Xuan, who was originally enlightened by his inner thoughts, opened his eyes, frowned slightly, revealing a strange color and deep thought.
Through constant enlightenment, Ye Xuan already had a certain degree of confidence in transforming the blood chakra core into a 'biting seed', but what surprised him was that when transforming this biting seed, he actually needed to split his soul into a section and inject it into the biting seed.
, let it breed life.
This is just like the 'eating seed' has become one's second little soul, but splitting a remnant soul will more or less damage one's own soul.
However, the Ancient Devouring Technique is so powerful that it has already provided a method to repair the soul. As long as a certain period of time passes, the soul will return to its original state.
However, the formation of the Devouring Seed not only requires a residual soul of its own, but it also needs to absorb a large number of ghost souls to be truly born.
The ghost is the remnant soul left behind in the world after the death of warriors or monsters and creatures.
Although it is not known how many ghost souls must be absorbed to transform the blood chakra core into a 'eating seed', Ye Xuan thinks it is definitely not as simple as one or two.
"It seems that we can only go to the shops in Jiuyuan City to find this ghost." Ye Xuan thought to himself.
Practicing the Ancient Devouring Technique is his first priority, but he also knows that the soul of a living being will basically dissipate after death, so he has not heard of any shop selling residual souls.
At this time, it was already dusk, and there were already sixteen Martial Kings in the pavilion.
Ye Xuan took a look, suddenly his expression changed, and he glanced to the other side, his eyes flashing slightly.
On the other side of the pavilion, a graceful woman in a white dress stood leaning on the railing.
This woman's cultivation level is actually the same as his, and she is also a first-level Martial King Realm.
She was wearing a white gauze on her face at the moment, covering her face, but Ye Xuan had already recognized her as the Saint of Baihua Valley who fell into nothingness with him and came out of Xizhou again.
However, because he had changed his appearance, the other party did not seem to notice that he was conversing with an elegant, handsome man in white shirt next to him.
The man's aura was very deep, and he actually had a cultivation level of the fifth level of the Martial King Realm!
"Huh?" The man talking suddenly turned his head and looked at Ye Xuan, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Baihua Fairy was startled, and followed the man's gaze to look at the 'black-robed young man'. Then a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but then she pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and whispered a few words to the handsome man, who nodded and smiled.
Ye Xuan frowned, turning a blind eye to the two men's behavior, and closed his eyes again to meditate.
Finally, after another two hours, twenty Martial Kings had gathered that morning. After everyone had waited for a long time, at a certain moment, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and found that there were snowflakes floating around, and others
The martial kings were also surprised and doubtful.
Wow~~!
A terrifying coercion suddenly descended from the sky. Twenty Martial Kings, including Ye Xuan, felt their bodies tighten and their breathing became difficult.
"This is!?" Ye Xuan was shocked.
In the eyes of him and the other martial kings, an old man wearing a snow-white martial robe slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone.
Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he felt that the old man's skinny body was like a towering mountain, and his aura was as deep as the sea, so powerful that it made his heart tremble.
"City Lord!" All the martial kings hurriedly saluted with clasped fists.
The old man glanced at all the Martial Kings, including Ye Xuan, who was struck by his gaze as if he had been cut by a knife, and his heart ached.
The old man nodded, "Well, you don't have to be polite. I guess you are all very curious about the mission I issued. I will tell you straightforwardly now. My mission is to let you protect a group of young warriors when they sail across the sea.
Safety."
After the city lord's words fell, all the martial kings couldn't help but look at him, and then they all looked puzzled.
The Lord of Jiuyuan City explained, "This time, the top sects in Zhongzhou have held a genius disciple exchange meeting, and have invited major sects from other states in the Northern Territory. As long as there are talented and outstanding disciples, they can go to Zhongzhou to study and practice. You don't have to do anything more.
What, the giant sailing ship is escorted by masters from other forces, and there is a stronghold of the Martial Emperor Realm, so you can just listen to the Martial Emperor’s arrangements."
Genius disciple exchange meeting? Ye Xuan and other Martial Kings all looked surprised.
Ye Xuan glanced at Baihua Fairy and found that the woman's bright eyes were calm and she didn't look surprised.
"This girl is from Zhongzhou. It seems that she has already known about this exchange meeting." Ye Xuan thought in his heart.
The Lord of Jiuyuan City signaled an old waiter to take out a golden scroll.
"This is a contract, which records the specific matters about this mission. If you have no problem with this mission, just sign it with blood. However, I remind you that you must not reveal anything about this mission.
At any rate, if any news leaks out before the voyage begins, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. Hum, with my methods, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I can catch you and crush you to death." said the Lord of Jiuyuan City.
As he stood, his face suddenly turned cold, and the air around him cooled down rapidly.
The martial kings were shocked to feel a chill invade their bodies, and hurriedly promised not to leak it.
"Yes." Lord Jiuyuan nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.
The martial kings breathed a sigh of relief. This city lord was so powerful that he could already resound the changes in the elemental energy of the heaven and earth.
After the Lord of Jiuyuan City left, the martial kings couldn't help but start talking about this mission.
And Ye Xuan also looked thoughtful, a little confused as to why he suddenly found out among these casual cultivators in Jiuyuan City during this escort mission.
He and the other Martial Kings went to look at the mission contract and found that some people to be protected were marked on it. They noticed that most of these people had a certain relationship with Jiuyuan City, and several additional objects were marked as being protected.
Ye Xuan's eyes showed a strange look. One of the people who was being protected was actually the illegitimate son of the Lord of Jiuyuan City?
The other kings of Wu also coveted him.
…
An hour later, the lights in the city were brilliant.
In a shop called Jubao Building.
"My friend, there are no ghosts for sale in our store." The middle-aged male shopkeeper said with a smile.
In the lobby, a young man in black robe frowned slightly and said, "I wonder if the shopkeeper knows where to buy it?"
It was Ye Xuan.
After signing a contract in the city lord's palace, he left the city lord's palace and visited several shops, but he failed to buy a ghost.
Although the task was a bit troublesome, and some aspects made Ye Xuan confused, in the end Ye Xuan signed the contract and received the navigation token.
No matter what, he was leaving Xizhou, and there would be strong men from the Martial Emperor Realm stationed there when the giant sailing ship arrived, so there wouldn't be much of a problem.
"Well, I'm afraid we don't have shops selling in seaside port cities like Jiuyuan City. If my friends want to buy, I'm afraid they have to go inland. I think those big shops will sell this kind of ghost. You have to know this kind of ghost.
Preservation is extremely difficult. Our wizards in Xizhou all kill and extract the soul on the spot." The middle-aged male shopkeeper actually looked at Ye Xuan pointedly and said.
Ye Xuan nodded, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."
Ye Xuan also understood that most wizards killed other humans or monsters by themselves, twitched on the spot, and practiced witchcraft.
After leaving this shop, Ye Xuan went to any other shop, but failed to buy anything. In the end, he had to return to Wanxiang Building first.
When he opened his superior room and entered the inner room, Ye Xuan couldn't help but was slightly startled. He saw the two sisters Xue'er and Shuang'er sleeping obediently on the bed. The two girls had taken off their cheongsam and only wore their own clothes.
Wearing a tulle nightgown, with a graceful figure and four slender, round thighs, the bed is really full of spring and beauty.
