Chapter 917
Ye Chen didn't have any other intentions, he just wanted to confirm one thing from this female monk.
That is, does this female monk really want to call for the main material for refining the Miaofa Pill?
"Don't be nervous, fellow daoist, I don't have any other intentions, I'm just curious!" Ye Chen explained.
The female monk blushed when she heard the words, thought for a while, and then said, "To tell you the truth, fellow Taoist, I really want to exchange a nine-leaf orchid!"
After finishing speaking, the female monk flashed out a jade box and handed it over.
Ye Chen was not too polite, opened the jade box and saw that it was indeed a poisonous tongue flower root.
These poisonous tongue flower roots should be regarded as very good elixir. The roots are fat, extremely black, and exude a pungent smell.
Judging from the aura it exudes, the medicinal age of this Poisonous Tongue Flower is at least a thousand years old, and it should be more than excellent for refining the Miaofa Pill.
"Yes, very good Poison Tongue Flower Root, the medicine age is about a thousand years!" Ye Chen studied the expression and reaction of the female monk.
"Fellow Daoist has really good eyesight!" the female monk exclaimed.
Identifying the age of elixir is not something that ordinary people can do, but this unattractive monk in front of her can tell it at a glance, which makes her eyes shine even more suddenly.
She even speculated that Ye Chen might be an alchemist!
So possible!
"I do have a nine-leaf orchid here, but..." Ye Chen induced the female monk step by step.
It's not that he's plotting for the beauty of the female monk, but he wants to know more information from her.
That's the thing about Sifang City.
This is the main purpose of him and the Black Hawk coming to this small trading market, none of them.
"My master also said that using these 'Poison Tongue Flower Roots' to exchange a Nine-leaf Orchid is not worth enough, but we will find a way." Man, missed this opportunity.
She would come here every day to wait for the opportunity to appear, but in the past three years, she found nothing. Today, God finally opened her eyes, waiting for someone who owns Jiuyelan.
With this wonderful opportunity,
How could she let it go?
"Your master?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
It turned out that the female monk called Jiuyelan not to refine the magic pill for herself, but for her master.
"To tell you the truth, fellow daoist, my master lost almost all of his life's cultivation due to an accident thousands of years ago, and fell out of a great realm..." The female monk explained, looking at Ye Ye with anticipation. morning.
"How about this, can I meet your master?" Ye Chen asked after pondering for a while.
The female monk hesitated for a while, but finally agreed, "Yes, my master has a bad temper. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
"Naturally!" Ye Chen laughed.
The female monk collected the leaf of the poisonous tongue flower root from the booth, and led Ye Chen and Heiying through the small market, towards the remote area of the city.
"It's right in front, where Master and I live!" The female monk pointed to a low and dilapidated stone house not far away.
"Please!" Ye Chen bowed.
After a while, the three came to the yard of a stone house.
"Master, I found Jiuyelan! I finally found it for you. This is the fellow Taoist who has Jiuyelan..." The female monk stood outside the stone house and bowed.
"Shuiqing, didn't I tell you that you don't like outsiders to disturb you?"
Inside the stone house, a hoarse voice came out.
It turned out that the female monk's name was Shui Qing, and Ye Chen was secretly surprised.
This name is quite in line with the personality of this female monk. It is also possible to say that she lives up to her name.
"Master, it's the disciple's fault!" Shui Qing bowed to the ground.
Ye Chen suddenly felt pity, and took over the words, "Senior is stuck on her sincerity, please don't punish her!"
"Speak up! This is our own business!"
Inside the stone house, that hoarse and inhuman voice came out again.
"Squeak—"
The door of the stone house opened, and an old man walked out.
As soon as they met, Ye Chen was shocked, and suddenly felt like he was taken aback.
Especially those pair of lonely eyes, he couldn't be more familiar with them.
"So it's an elder?" Ye Chen asked in shock.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. The person in front of him was that lofty Elder Long Ling who praised and cared for him quite a lot.
It's really easy to find nowhere to go after breaking through the iron shoes.
"Ye Chen?!" Long Ling also recognized the identity of this unexpected guest.
"That's right, it's really me!" Ye Chen leaned forward.
"Shui Qing, get up!" A long-lost smile appeared on Long Ling's face.
Shui Qing was even more startled, she never dreamed that the person brought back today was actually an old friend of Master.
"This is not a place to talk, let's go in and talk!" Long Ling reminded.
Ye Chen looked back at Hei Ying and ordered, "You stay here and don't let anyone in!"
"Okay!" Hei Ying was worried that he would not find a chance to think of being courteous, so he naturally agreed.
Long Ling closed the simple stone door of the stone house, led Ye Chen and Shui Qing, opened a secret passage on the stone wall of the stone house, and walked in.
"Master, this is..."
On the way, Shui Qing finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
"His name is Ye Chen, from now on you can call him Senior Brother! God has eyes, my Xueyue Sect has a successor!" Long Ling almost burst into tears.
"I met Senior Brother Ye!" Shui Qing smiled.
It seems that today's luck is really not ordinary, and he actually brought back a senior brother.
Thinking of the whereabouts of Master's Jiuyelan, Shui Qing was extremely excited.
"Junior Sister Shuiqing, you're welcome, we will be our own people from now on!" Ye Chen laughed.
Through a winding passage, the three came to a secret room.
Obviously, this was Long Ling's last refuge. Since the Xueyue Sect's sudden change, he saved his life, and since he lived in seclusion and cultivated here, no third person has ever walked in.
"Elder, what's the matter with you?" Ye Chenluo asked while sitting on a rough stone chair.
Long Ling couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and cursed angrily, "It's not thanks to that traitor!"
Of course Ye Chen knew who Long Ling was talking about!
Qin Feng!
"Elder, where are the others?" Ye Chen couldn't wait.
In contrast, Ye Chen is more concerned about Hong Shan's life and death!
"They're almost dead! Except for my dormant old bone, everyone else is dead!" Long Ling said with eyes full of sorrow.
"Didn't you see the Saintess and Lin Hui, Fang Ming and the others?" Ye Chen asked.
"No, their life and death are still uncertain, and they have not been heard from for more than a thousand years. I'm afraid it's more ominous!" Long Ling said.
Ye Chen was shocked when he heard this.
Ye Chen already knew that Long Ling guarded Xueyue Sect with the body of a weapon spirit and slept in the dragon pool in Denglongmen.
If the Xueyue Sect ceased to exist, among all the survivors of Xueyue, who would still be willing to protect the Xueyue Sect and the broken and incomplete Xueyue Small World? Definitely Dragon Spirit.
Ye Chen was deeply moved by Long Ling's infatuation with Xue Yue's ancestor.
This is also one of the main reasons why Ye Chen admires Long Ling, especially Long Ling's pair of lonely and peerless eyes, which impressed Ye Chen deeply.
It's just that when seeing this senior expert again, Ye Chen also saw endless sorrow from those eyes, and there was also a trace of regret and guilt that he was unable to recover, and had more than enough heart but not enough power.
"More than a thousand years?! It's been so long?" Ye Chen suddenly suspected that he had heard it wrong.
If I remember correctly, the group of them entered the secret place of Xueyue Small World, but in just a few days, how could more than a thousand years have passed?
Even if it was him, Lin Hui, Fang Ming and Qimeng, after he was redeemed by the Canxian deity in the secret place of Xueyue Small World, he stayed in Qishan for only a few days. How come a thousand years have passed since he walked out of Qishan?
"That's right, more than thirteen hundred years have passed since the time you entered the Xueyue Small World!" Long Ling explained.
In those lonely eyes, there was endless sorrow, and there was also a trace of vengeance, which was fleeting inside.
"This..." Ye Chen was so taken aback that he almost sat down on the ground.
Judging by Long Ling's expression and reaction, he definitely won't talk nonsense here.
Now, more than 1,300 years have passed since their trip to the secret land of Xueyue Small World. This is an extremely shocking thing for Ye Chen.
Although Xueyue Small World encountered countless rebellions and was made dilapidated before it escaped into the void cracks, it is still a treasured place.
A day in the small world of Xueyue is a hundred years in the outside world.
This is also the main reason why many kinds of rare natural treasures abound in Xueyue Small World.
At the beginning, Ye Chen came to Daxue Mountain for the purpose of Xuehunzi. He didn't want to get the soul-changing incense carefully cultivated by Xueyue's ancestors by mistake, and became Xueyue's registered disciple. A series of encounters followed.
To this day, Ye Chen has not been able to get Xuehunzi, and he doesn't even know what Xuehunzi looks like, which is unbelievable.
A person's lifespan is extremely limited. Even if he has stepped into the path of cultivation, his lifespan is only a few hundred years if he has not stepped into the realm of immortality. Yin Fanghua and Yu Min who were sent away by the teleportation array don't know if they are still alive.
The cultivation resources on the earth are extremely scarce, and the cultivation environment is also extremely poor. If during this period of time, the few of them have not broken through the realm of the earth fairy, at this time, I am afraid that they are no longer in the world.
Thinking of this, overwhelming sorrow swept over him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Ye Chen in this life has been favored by Yin Fanghua, and they have experienced so many things together. If one day, Ye Chen returns to the earth, but this beloved person has already disappeared and is no longer there. It is conceivable how he felt when he was left alone for the rest of his life.
Without Yin Fanghua, even if he stepped into the realm of the earth fairy, returned to the top of a generation of demon kings, and even went further on the road of cultivation, what is the point of being admired by thousands of people and being admired by the mountains?
Ye Chen in this life is no longer the demon king of the previous generation. He has many things that ordinary people can't let go of. From this point of view, Ye Chen is more like a mortal in the world.
"Senior Brother Ye, what's the matter with you?" Shui Qing asked timidly, seeing Ye Chen's extremely sad expression.
Ye Chen was startled by his gaffe, and after being silent for a while, a frightening cold light flashed in his eyes, "No...it's nothing, I just remembered something!"
Shui Qing didn't speak anymore, and stood still while looking at the master whose face was changing from cloudy to sunny, feeling very strange in his heart.
In her mind, as a master, she has always been reticent, and rarely has such a complicated expression on her face. From this, it can be seen that Ye Chen has a place in his heart.
Shui Qing even thought that Ye Chen's position in Master's heart was definitely higher than hers.
"I want revenge! I want revenge!" Ye Chen angrily said to himself.
Hearing this, Long Ling was also at a loss.
Thousands of years ago, Ye Chen was just a young monk who had just entered the Xueyue Sect. Although Hong Shan treated Ye Chen very well, he, Piao Miaozi and other elders also admired Ye Chen.
But, in the final analysis, it is impossible for Ye Chen to have such deep feelings for the Xueyue Sect. Now that the Xueyue Sect no longer exists, it is too unrealistic to say that Ye Chen is revenge for the Xueyue Sect.
"Where is Senior Brother Hong Shan?" Ye Chen asked.
The matter of Sister Fanghua and Yu Min was still inconclusive before he saw it, but the matter of Hong Shan and others was hard to say.
"Your brother Hong Shan died at the hands of Qin Feng! Great Elder Piao Miaozi, together with me guarded the magic circle in the Midi, and finally died of exhaustion..." Long Ling said in a deep voice.
"Elder, I won't let them suffer for nothing!" Ye Chen said with determination.
After pondering for a while, Long Ling said, "Ye Chen, the Xueyue Sect no longer exists, and I owe it to Xue Lingzi, so I am ashamed to say that the title of elder is not to be used in the future." When it comes to mentioning it, let’s call it a fellow daoist!”
"The elders have done their best. There is nothing to feel guilty about. The dead are gone. We will do what we should do to make their heroic souls smile! As long as one person is still alive, the inheritance of the Xueyue Sect will not be broken. We There will be a comeback!" Ye Chen comforted.
"I am very pleased that you can think so!" Long Ling nodded approvingly.
Long Ling has seen countless people in his life, but he is very accurate about Ye Chen.
When Qin Feng and others teamed up with the four major sects including Zhan Beast Sect to plot Xueyue Sect and overthrow Xueyue Sect, he once mentioned to Piao Miaozi that Xueyue Sect might have a turning point.
Because, at that time, Ye Chen was in the secret land, and by his side were Saintess Qimeng, the elite disciples among the Ten Heroes of Xueyue——Lin Hui and Fang Ming.
This can be regarded as a variable, and it is also the last hope of Xueyue Sect.
It's just that this kind of change came too late, it took more than 1,300 years to appear!
Next, Long Ling told Ye Chen the most important things that happened when Qin Feng and others from the immortal sect betrayed Xueyue Sect, and Ye Chen was very surprised.
