Inside the cave.
Yu Ye opened his eyes from sitting quietly.
He spread his hands and a handful of spirit stone fragments fell to the ground.
After breathing and breathing for five days, one spiritual stone will be exhausted. If this continues, the twenty or thirty spiritual stones left to him by Feng Laoqi will not last more than a few months.
How much has your cultivation level improved?
have no idea.
All I know is that his consciousness has improved and he can see at least thirty feet away. The meridians are a little thicker and the energy in the body is more abundant.
With his current cultivation level, can he use the Seven Kills Sword Qi twice?
Yu Ye patted the spirit stone fragments on his hands and let out a long breath.
He was not in a hurry to go home, but hid here to practice.
Improving your cultivation and cultivating the Seven Kills Sword Qi are the means to save your life. You don't dare to slack off for a day. Of course, there is also the armor-breaking talisman, but it has been difficult to complete.
Yu Ye stood up and stretched his muscles.
Walk to the entrance of the cave and look down. At the foot of the mountain is a small, remote village, as quiet as ever. He turned back to where he was and sat down, drew out his long sword, and then took out a stack of snake skins, wolf brushes, pottery bowls, wine bottles, cinnabar and other objects. First use a long sword to cut a piece of snake skin into pieces the size of talisman paper, then hold it in your hands and rub it continuously with the blessing.
No one taught him this method, and there is no record of it in the classics. It was purely his own imagination. Hunters in the mountains still have a method of pickling and cooking skins when hunting for them. This must be the same for talismans, so let's give it a try.
The rough snake skin gradually becomes smooth and soft.
Yu Ye took the cinnabar and strong wine and poured them into the pottery bowl, then bit his finger and squeezed out the blood. He held a langhao pen and dipped it in the prepared cinnabar, and drew the armor-breaking talisman on the snake skin.
The snake skin withstood the magic power contained in the talisman, and the entire talisman looked flawless.
Yu Ye picked up the armor-breaking talisman between two fingers and looked at it for a moment, then slapped it on his chest.
There was a flash of light and a soft "bang" sound.
He was still sitting where he was, swaying slightly. The clothes on his chest were actually torn into several pieces by the magic power. Fortunately, he was protected by his true energy, so he was safe and sound.
The Armor-Breaking Talisman looks flawless. Could it be that its purpose is to tear apart clothes?
What exactly went wrong?
Yu Ye frowned and thought hard. After a while, he cut the snake skin again, squeezed out the blood with his fingers, picked up the wolf brush and continued trying...
Three days passed.
Yu Ye dropped his pen and looked tired.
There were five armor-breaking charms placed in front of him.
For three days, I kept trying, even if I squeezed out half a bowl of blood from my fingers, none of the dozens of armor-breaking charms I drew worked. Now that the cinnabar and white wine have been exhausted, only three or four feet of snake skin remain. If the last five armor-breaking charms drawn are still useless, we can only give up.
"Wow--"
Yu Ye waved his hands and swept the empty pottery bowls and wine bottles aside, grabbed a talisman and stood up. He looked at the broken clothes, shook his head helplessly, then patted the talisman to his chest, and then waited quietly without any expectations.
There was still a flash of light, but no sound of clothes being torn was heard.
Huh?
The armor-breaking talisman was gone, and the palm was a little blurry.
Dazzled?
Not only that, his body and limbs could not be seen clearly. They looked like a blurry shadow, which looked extremely strange.
Yu Ye was startled and couldn't help but circle around and take a few steps back. Suddenly there was nothing behind him, and the scene in front of him changed. Then there was nothing under his feet, and he fell straight down. He hurriedly reached out and grabbed at the cracks in the stone wall with a bang, feeling like he was hanging in the air from his feet and shaking.
What's happening?
Yu Ye looked around, then lowered his head to check.
The sky is above your head and the cliff is at your feet. To the left and right were cliffs and trees, and gravel was pulled down by him.
He was in the cave just now and ran out of the cave in the blink of an eye?
The phantom-like arms and limbs have gradually returned to their original shape. But the whole person hanging on the cliff is a real existence. Once he lets go, he will fall down a cliff more than twenty feet deep.
"Hey!"
Yu Ye was in shock, but couldn't help laughing.
Countless expectations came to nothing, and the least expected attempt actually came true.
When the work was done, it was so sudden, so sudden that people forgot about the surprise, and instead felt a little confused and unprepared.
Yu Ye used his hands hard and kicked off his feet. He jumped up into the air and landed on the top of the mountain.
The hill where it is located is only a few tens of feet high, and the view in all directions is breathtaking.
"Ouch——"
Yu Ye couldn't help raising his head and roaring.
Without anyone to guide me, I figured it out on my own. After two or three months and hundreds of attempts, I actually learned the art of refining and making talismans. Everything depends on human effort, and the same is true for cultivation. As long as you persevere, you can achieve something by yourself without a teacher.
If the Seven Kills Sword Qi is his means of killing enemies and protecting himself, the Armor-Breaking Talisman is his magic weapon for escaping. With the help of the Armor-Breaking Talisman, you can become invisible and break through walls, which gives you a better chance of surviving when facing powerful enemies.
Standing in the wild for a moment, he slipped down to the top of the mountain.
He found the cave, got in, and carefully put away the four armor-breaking charms on the ground.
The reason why the armor-piercing talisman drawn at the end worked, in retrospect, was probably because a few more drops of blood were squeezed into the cinnabar when the strong wine was exhausted.
Well, every talisman is bought with blood, so we must cherish it!
Yu Ye changed into a gray gown, took out a Bigu Pill and threw it into his mouth, then grabbed the sword and walked out of the cave with ease.
The Bigu Pill is not delicious and tasteless when chewed, but it makes you hungry. It is a must-have for retreat practice.
The so-called retreat means isolating yourself from the world and concentrating on cultivation. I have been practicing here for many days, so it can be regarded as a retreat.
We arrived at the foot of the mountain in an instant.
There is a small village far away.
There are two stone houses and a big tree at the west end of the village. A strong black horse was tied to the water trough under the tree. The horse noticed the arrival of its master and neighed from afar.
Yu Ye walked under the tree, got a little intimate with the horse, inserted his long sword into his bag, and untied the horse's reins.
An old man came from the vegetable garden next to the stone house and said, "I'm going to be worried since my little brother has been gone for ten days!"
Yu Ye bowed in greeting and said with a smile: "The horses are fostered here, let me worry about it!"
The old man waved his hand and said: "Hey, I told you, I don't dare to neglect you!"
"Uncle, this is the reward you deserve!"
Yu Ye took out a piece of silver and handed it to the old man with both hands. He could not refuse, and he flew away on horseback.
Leaving the village, a country road leads to the main road in the distance.
Yu Ye rode a horse and walked on the path.
The sun is shining, the sky is clear, and the wind is blowing gently. It is a good time to go on the road.
Looking back, he saw that the hill a few miles away was where he had stayed for eight or nine days. In total, it has been a month and a half since he left Pingshui Town. He did not rush back to Xingyuan Valley. Instead, he walked several hundred miles and found a remote village. He fostered the horse in a farmer's home and practiced alone for a few days.
However, although this time the practice was fruitful, it also took a lot of time. Fortunately, Xingyuan Valley is not far away, and we will be home in three or two days' journey!
After a while, the horse got on the road and galloped away...
Five days later.
On a cliff, Yu Ye was standing on horseback.
At this time, he felt a little depressed, but he had a smile on his lips and a hint of surprise and curiosity in his eyes.
Under the cliff, the roaring waves are rolling and the waves are like snow; in the distance, the blue waves are stretching as far as the eye can see.
The sea!
The journey of three or two days actually took five days. It wasn't until I saw the sea that I realized I was going the wrong way. He actually bypassed the high mountains where Xingyuan Valley is located and arrived directly at the seaside.
When I was a child, I heard that the sea is to the north of Xingyuan Valley. What the sea looks like, no one can tell clearly. The high mountains surrounding Xingyuan Valley block the way and block people's imagination.
The sea in front of you is so spectacular and vast!
This should be the northernmost point of Dazebei. The sea breeze blowing on your face is a bit wild and slightly cool. It makes people feel as if they have stepped into late autumn from the end of summer. As far as the eye can see, there is only a vast sea and a long way to the end of the world, which suddenly makes people feel small and lonely, and in the next moment, the world is in their arms and I am alone.
Just as the classics say, the sea is big enough to accommodate hundreds of rivers; the land is big enough to support all living things; the sky is big enough to accommodate the Milky Way. But it is not as big as the heart, which can accommodate the heaven and the earth and let the sea flow.
Yu Ye looked far into the distance and was filled with emotion.
The northern part of Daze is already extremely remote. To the north of the sea, it must be more desolate and inaccessible. In the sea area south of Daze, there is Qizhou. It is said that there are many immortal sects and many masters. Bu Yi and Qiu Bo came from Qizhou. I just want to take a look and see how different that strange world is.
At this moment, Yu Ye suddenly had the urge to break into the world.
Another gust of wind blew across the sea, and the horses suddenly raised their front hooves and neighed loudly.
Yu Ye clamped the horse's belly with his legs, tightened the reins with both hands, and stood up. He took a few steps back as the horse clicked, and rushed down the cliff with the horse's head.
Even though the sky is high and the sea is vast, he still can't let go of Xingyuan Valley.
He was thinking about Yujia Village and Qiu Bo. The knot in his heart has not yet been opened, and he is going to find the truth behind the confusion.
The high mountains and ridges where Xingyuan Valley is located are hundreds of miles in diameter. If we take the wrong path now, we will inevitably be delayed for a few more days.
Yu Ye left the seaside and ran away following the path he came from.
After going dozens of miles, the sky turned dark. The mountain road gradually becomes narrower, surrounded by rugged rocks and dense trees.
Yu Ye slowed down his horse.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at the beach, and dusk was now falling. Let's find a place to rest for the night and continue our journey after dawn. This is also the rule of the agreed customs. The mountain road is difficult to travel at night. Once the horse stumbles, there will inevitably be disaster.
After a while, there was a mountain stream ahead. The stream flows through the mountain road, and the vegetation is lush nearby.
Yu Ye jumped off his horse, took his sword and water bag, walked to the hillside next to the mountain stream and sat down.
The mountain road here is slightly wider, with rocky cliffs on one side, deep ravines covered with vegetation on the other, and tall mountains standing in the distance, making the place where you are like a canyon, quiet and dark. It takes a lot of courage for a person to sleep alone here.
Yu Ye didn't take it seriously. He drank some water and thought about breathing and breathing.
"咴聿聿——"
The horse wandering alone suddenly screamed.
At the same time, a gust of cold wind blew.
Yu Ye was slightly startled...
