"Don't think so much, just take one step at a time."
"Um."
Ye Chen nodded. The matter with the Sky Demon cannot be accomplished overnight. He can only search and visit slowly and make long-term plans.
What's more, this also made me understand that in the past, he relied too much on his trump cards. Without the help of trump cards, his own strength was not very strong in the Earth's Core Realm. Otherwise, he would not have been trapped by the Xuanxue Sect just after he arrived. Live that long.
But it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. This unnecessary disaster not only made great progress in his own strength and that of Fire Spirit Yan Xuan'er, but also left a lot of materials that have not been used up, which can be used to give Xiao Hei and the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword. .
So in the following time, Ye Chen continued to use the remaining materials to improve himself while moving forward slowly.
He has the blood of the Heavenly Demon in his body, and he can vaguely determine the direction of the Heavenly Demon's aura!
Following the direction of the evil spirit, one day later, Ye Chen was surprised to find that a small village appeared in front of him.
The aura of the Earth's Core Realm is more powerful than that of the Celestial Realm, but it is not suitable for most people to practice. After all, there are some people who have no talent for cultivation and even have low bloodline. Some have become servants of the Tianjun family or even the power, and some are not It is to survive by guarding a pure land.
Taiping Village is the name here.
For the mortals in the inner earth realm, the existence of monks and warriors is not surprising. After all, which ancestor has not produced several powerful men who are famous for a while.
But Ye Chen's arrival still caused quite a stir here.
Although every once in a while, some sects and experts will look for good seedlings with cultivation qualifications among these people, but Taiping Village is really too remote and has a small population. Although it is called a village, it is not But there are only a few hundred households, at best a little bigger than a small mountain village.
Therefore, no warrior has been here for hundreds of years.
The appearance of a strong man like Ye Chen was naturally warmly welcomed by the villagers. Especially when they heard that Ye Chen planned to stay here temporarily, they rushed to invite him to their home.
Ye Chen finally politely declined everyone's kindness, and finally found an empty house in the town and settled down.
Villagers come to his door almost every hour, either to help him clean the house or to bring things over.
Regarding the enthusiasm of the villagers, Ye Chen finally understood the reason after learning the reason. They hoped that Ye Chen could check the cultivation qualifications of his children and preferably accept them as apprentices.
It's a pity that Ye Chen doesn't plan to stay in the Earth's Core Realm for a long time, so it's not convenient for him to recruit disciples. Even if he wants to introduce the sect, he doesn't know any other sect except the Xuanxue Sect, which he almost wiped out.
However, Ye Chen still promised the villagers to spend time checking the qualifications of the children in the town. If they are talented, they can go find famous teachers on their own. If they are not talented, they can stop worrying and live peacefully in the future.
After being busy for a long time, Ye Chen finally checked the hundreds of children in the town one by one.
This half day's work was not in vain, he really found a few children with good qualifications.
The parents of these children were naturally very happy when they heard the news, and they all discussed where to find sect apprentices.
As for the other parents, even though they were disappointed, they did not forget to thank Ye Chen.
After helping the villagers settle their worries, Ye Chen was finally able to calm down a bit.
Just when Ye Chen was about to continue exploring the cause and effect of the sky demon, he suddenly saw a dirty child about four or five years old crawling around among a pile of rubble on the ground, not knowing what he was doing.
Ye Chen was suddenly curious, because even the newborn children in this village were brought to him by their parents not long ago, and their qualifications were checked one by one.
But I have never seen this dirty child.
Ye Chen stopped a passing villager and asked, "Whose child is this?"
When the villager saw Ye Chen asking questions, he glanced at the child not far away and said hurriedly: "As for adults, you'd better not ask too many questions."
After saying this, the other party left in a hurry.
This surprised Ye Chen even more.
So he came to the child and took him out of the ruins. Only then did he realize that the child was still biting half of the food that others had not finished.
Although Taiping Village is located in a remote area, through his understanding over the past few days, Ye Chen has not found any family that is in such difficulty.
He hurriedly pulled the dirty food out of the child's mouth, threw it away, and then asked: "Whose child are you? Why are you looking for food here?"
The child didn't cry when Ye Chen took the food from his mouth, but he didn't answer his question either. He just stared at him with his big, dull eyes.
Ye Chen picked up the child, stopped another passing villager again, and asked about the child's family. The other person was originally unwilling to say more, but after Ye Chen pressed again and again, he finally spoke.
"This child's name is Amao. Almost all his family members are dead. Now only a grandfather with limited mobility is left to live with him."
The villager's answer made Ye Chen a little angry, and he couldn't help but ask: "Are the people in the village just watching them starve to death?"
"Sir, you don't know the reason for this. This child is a disaster." The villager said, "I also advise you not to get involved in this matter."
Through the villagers' narration, Ye Chen finally understood the cause and effect.
