One hundred middle-grade spiritual stones are equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones. The energy contained in them is enough to break through from the first level to the sixth level during the Qi Condensation Period.
Of course, spiritual stones are not just used by monks to absorb energy. You must know that the greatest function of spiritual stones is to purchase items.
Whether it's elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, etc. that a monk needs, you can buy them as long as you have enough spiritual stones.
Of course, one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones are already attractive to high-level monks above the Void Transformation stage, because they have the ability to kill high-level monsters.
By hunting monsters, obtaining the inner elixirs and many materials in the monsters' bodies, and exchanging them for spiritual stones at the auction house, this kind of income is far more than one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones.
Therefore, Chen Feng's suggestion that he could obtain one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones by living there for one month did not attract many high-level monks.
However, Chen Feng did not expect that the high-level monks could stay. After all, anyone who could cultivate to the point of becoming void was not an ordinary person. His personality was unpredictable and difficult to control.
Monks below the level of Huaxu were his main attraction targets, but as soon as the news came out, many Nascent Soul cultivators came to the Chen Mansion with their residence certificates to collect the spirit stones.
Good guy, there are thousands of people, they are trying to level the threshold of the Chen family!
"I'm a good boy!" Chen Feng didn't expect that there would be so many people. Seeing the middle-grade spiritual stone being taken away, Chen Feng felt heartbroken!
Fortunately, the Chen family is in charge of Qingcheng. After taking over dozens of spiritual mines left by the Ouyang family, the Chen family is not short of spiritual stones. Otherwise, Chen Feng would never dare to waste the family like this.
And Chen Jiahua did not betray his trust. As for the surrender of Nangong and Le Zhongxing, Chen Jiahua knew that Nangong Fei and Le Zhongxing were not really surrendering to him, but were afraid of his strength. If one day he was gone or injured, it would be difficult to protect the two of them. People will not rebel and uproot the Chen family like he did the Ouyang family. Then it will be too late to regret.
Therefore, Chen Jiahua gave 60% of the Lingshi mine received from the Ouyang family to the two families, with the Nangong family taking 30%, the Le family taking 30%, and Chen Jiaye taking 40%.
Nangong De and Le Zhongxing were very moved by Chen Jiahua's actions. There is no doubt that Chen Jiahua did not threaten them with his strength, which is better than Ouyang Tianlong.
You must know that Chen Jiahua did not promise them anything at the beginning, but purely threatened them with strength. But who would have thought that after the end, Chen Jiahua could still do such a move, which is simply admirable.
In this regard, the two made a decision. Anyway, they are practicing cultivation. Anyway, they are all working together to maintain peace in the world. Who doesn't submit to them?
Chen Jiahua was extremely happy about their decision, but he did not have the final say in Qingcheng, so he immediately rejected their allegiance.
However, even though he is not the real lord of Qingzhou, he has made an oath of friendship with the Nangong family and the Le family for generations.
Once this kind of oath is violated, it will be punished by God and cause inexplicable disasters. Unless a genius appears in this family and has reached the sky, the shackles of the oath can be broken. Otherwise, it cannot be lifted.
The two of them happily accepted this, but they also raised a question, that is, they wanted to know who the person behind Chen Jiahua was.
Chen Jiahua hesitated for a while, and finally felt that since the three families were already sworn to each other, there was nothing to hide, so he immediately revealed Ye Lingfeng's identity.
It's just that he didn't mention Ye Lingfeng, but when he mentioned Ye Lingfeng, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly turned cold.
Because a month has passed since the incident, the sword energy has dissipated, and Ye Lingfeng still has not appeared. Many people who were convinced that Ye Lingfeng was still alive gradually became suspicious.
After all, people are human. Even if they embark on the path of cultivating immortals, they will still be unable to escape the reincarnation of heaven. Ye Lingfeng cannot be resurrected from the dead.
Under such circumstances, unless Ye Lingfeng's inner power of heaven could be found in advance and transformed into a demon, there might be a small chance of survival.
Chen Jiahua also knew that they would not believe what he said, so he did not force others to believe it like him. Anyway, he firmly believed in his heart that Ye Lingfeng would definitely come back.
At this time, outside Qingcheng, a woman wearing a wisp of green shirt and fluttering clothes was walking where Ye Lingfeng was crossing the tribulation.
The soft grass made a slight sound under her feet. Finally, the woman in green shirt sat on the grass and stared at the sky blankly, muttering to herself.
"Ye Lingfeng, where are you and why haven't you appeared yet? Do you know? I miss you so much. I thought we would never see each other again. But fate has its way with people. Why did you leave this sword energy to save us?" Get off us."
There is no doubt that this girl in green shirt is Liu Ruyan, but at this moment she is no longer dressed in men's clothing, but in women's clothing. She no longer looks like the fierce fighting spirit, but is as gentle as the girl next door. Graceful and generous, elegant and touching.
Today, she and Liu Rumeng had completely recovered from their injuries seven days ago, but the sword energy was still strong at that time. Therefore, they did not leave after their injuries recovered, but waited for Ye Lingfeng here.
But after several days, there was no trace of Ye Lingfeng. This made the restless, naughty and cute sister Liu Rumeng unable to hold on any longer and immediately suggested leaving.
However, Liu Rumeng's proposal was rejected by her because she wanted to wait for Ye Lingfeng to appear. She always believed that Ye Lingfeng would appear again.
However, her persistence was opposed by Zhou Changhong and other monks. After all, she stayed here for seven days and did not get any water for fourteen days. Although you are a cultivator, you still need to rest. Otherwise, you will not be able to rest mentally and you will get tired easily.
Facing Zhou Changhong and the five hundred monks behind him, Liu Ruyan was very moved. After all, these people had been here with her for how many days she had stayed here.
Of course, they were on duty in turns, but even so, Liu Ruyan felt guilty and immediately ordered Zhou Changhong to return to Liuxu City.
Naturally, Zhou Changhong was unwilling to obey Liu Ruyan's order. How could he leave before he saw Ye Lingfeng?
But who knows, Liu Ruyan suddenly releases his cultivation, forcing him to leave and lead everyone back to Qingcheng.
Liu Ruyan himself also followed Liu Rumeng back to Qingcheng. Of course, they did not live in the Chen family like Yu Feiluo, but in Hanyan Piaoliu. After all, Hanyan Piaoliu also has a branch in Qingcheng. Yes, they naturally want to live here.
But when she saw the familiar auction house, Liu Ruyan suddenly remembered the drunken fairy she met here that day, and embarked on the road to find the wind. It was precisely because of this trip that they not only failed to find Ye Lingfeng, Instead, he was swallowed up by the space crack and entered the extraterrestrial battlefield.
Fortunately, they had been changed in the Tianjian space, otherwise they would not be alive now.
But what about Lin Tian? Why didn't you see Lin Tian?
Liu Ruyan was confused and immediately asked a manager of the auction house to ask. Only then did he learn that Lin Tian was dead. Then he asked some things about Ye Lingfeng in Qingcheng in the recent period. Only then did he know that Lin Tian was dead these days. So many things happened in Ye Lingfeng.
Just knowing what happened to Ye Lingfeng made her miss Ye Lingfeng even more solemnly. Taking advantage of the night, she immediately walked out of Qingcheng and returned to the place where Ye Lingfeng had overcome the tribulation.
However, what she didn't expect was that the sword energy that had been protecting her two sisters disappeared, whether because of their departure or something else. This made her anxious and almost despairing. She must know that this sword energy It was the only thing she had access to that could sense the existence of Ye Lingfeng.
Now that the sword energy has disappeared, what does this mean?
Liu Ruyan couldn't even imagine it, and immediately returned to Qingcheng to find Yu Feiluo. However, Yu Feiluo was puzzled by the disappearance of the sword energy and could not give her an answer at all.
For a moment, Liu Ruyan couldn't accept it and fainted.
In response to this, the expressions of everyone in the Chen family changed, but Yu Feiluo checked his body and told everyone that he just fainted and would wake up the next day after a nap.
It wasn't until the next day that Liu Ruyan really woke up and found that she was already in the cold smoke, but there was no trace of her sister. She immediately disappeared from the room and appeared outside Qingcheng.
In the place where Ye Lingfeng crossed the tribulation, he would sit there all day long and would not leave until very late.
It lasted for more than ten days. Liu Ruyan came every morning, but every morning he came with expectations. Went back at night disappointed.
Sometimes Liu Rumeng would accompany her, and sometimes Yu Feiluo, Chen Jiahua, Xu Lingzi, Chen Feng, Xu Shaohua and others would also come.
It's just that the disappointments almost made those who firmly believed that Ye Lingfeng was still alive gradually lost the patience to wait. Although they still believed in their hearts, they could only keep the matter of Ye Lingfeng in their hearts.
After all, people have died, and those left behind must continue to live and complete the unfinished road.
Just three days ago, Xu Lingzi left Qingcheng with Xu Shaohua and the Xutian Sect disciples. Before leaving, Xu Lingzi had approached Liu Ruyan and handed over a jade pendant that could withstand a full blow from the Peak of Refining God. He gave it to her and asked her to come to Xutian Sect with Ye Lingfeng when she had time.
What can Liu Ruyan say about this? What could she say?
He could only smile bitterly and nod in agreement. In this regard, Xu Lingzi was helpless and finally turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
In his opinion, Xu Lingzi is definitely still alive, but there are too many secrets in Ye Lingfeng. Who knows if Ye Lingfeng is healing somewhere now?
The other sects left Qingcheng half a month before Xu Lingzi left and started preparing for the Kyushu Competition. The opportunity to enter the Shengxian Terrace is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they can have the opportunity to enter the Shengxian Terrace, it is not impossible to become an immortal instantly. possible.
Recalling the scene when he first met Ye Lingfeng in his mind, Liu Ruyan's face turned red instantly, and she was a little shy even though there was no one around.
"Ye Lingfeng, I received a message from my father a few days ago, asking my two sisters to return to Zhongzhou, tomorrow...tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to come."
Liu Ruyan stared blankly at the sky and said again, as if she was talking to herself, as well as to the surrounding flowers, plants and air.
She knows that everything has spirituality. If Ye Lingfeng comes back one day, I believe the flowers and plants here will tell Ye Lingfeng everything she has done these days.
Mu Qinxue was gone, Qianyu Yingji was gone, and so was Zuimeng Fairy, but she just wanted to tell Ye Lingfeng that she and Liu Ruyan were still there, as long as Ye Lingfeng was willing.
After all, the two were still engaged, and everyone in the world knew that she, Liu Ruyan, was Ye Lingfeng's wife.
Originally, this matter was gradually forgotten due to the destruction of Qianye City and the disappearance of Ye Lingfeng.
But with the reappearance of Ye Lingfeng, these things were dug out again.
"Ye Lingfeng, I'm leaving, are you going to try to keep me here? If you try to keep me here, I will never leave and I will stay with you forever. They have all left, but you have to know that I will never leave. You are always there..."
"Haha, Ye Lingfeng, please tell me something. Whether it's life or death, do you dare to say it like a man? If you really don't love me, I will explain it to my father when I go back this time. We will never be together again. connection……"
"Woo, Ye Lingfeng, you big bad guy, you didn't even say a word, are you trying to kill me?
Ye Lingfeng, I tell you, you can't do this. You still have a lot of things to accomplish. Mu Qinxue, Qianyu Yingji, Zuimeng Fairy, these people are all young women who have accompanied you through this journey. Don't you miss them? Don't they want to find them again? "
"Ah... Ye Lingfeng, you are a liar. You not only lied to all the women who love you, but also to yourself. You don't want to be a man at all. You don't even have the courage to admit it. I, Liu Ruyan, look down on you... …”
"Ugh, Ye Lingfeng, are you really that heartless? If you are heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous. I will help you find them and kill them one by one. Don't think that I can't do it. If you don’t believe it, just watch, you can only watch..."
"Haha, Ye Lingfeng, are you still unwilling to say a word? Ye Lingfeng, I hate you, I hate you..."
"ah……"
Liu Ruyan sat silently on the grass alone, looking a little lonely, and gradually shed tears as she spoke.
At first, she approached this man with whom she had not been in contact for a long time out of curiosity to see what kind of person he was.
The first time they met was at the Qianye Competition. She saw how decisive and ruthless Ye Lingfeng was, and how he treated his enemies without mercy, but he was kind to his relatives.
She thought that she was far superior to her in appearance and temperament, but as their opponents at that time, Ye Lingfeng's eyes were always so cold.
It was as if she was just his opponent, but looking at other women, such as Qianba Sakuraji, they were so tender that she couldn't describe them, which made her a little envious.
It was such a person. She met him briefly, and unknowingly, this young man had entered her heart.
For a moment, at the end of the sentence, Liu Ruyan started to curse, but the more she did, the more she cried, and she even sobbed at the end and fainted from crying.
At this time, a stream of light flashed across the horizon, and a man appeared and helped Liu Ruyan up to heal her injuries.
But when the man's hand touched Liu Ruyan's body, Liu Ruyan suddenly woke up, looked at the man in front of him and shouted as if in a dream.
"Feng? Ye Lingfeng, is that you? You are finally willing to come out to see me, woo woo..."
As he spoke, he was completely unprepared for the man and seemed to be about to throw himself into his arms.
Unexpectedly, the man pushed him away and said angrily: "Miss Liu, it's time for you to go back and rest."
Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, the tone was so unfamiliar, and he immediately took a closer look. Where was his Ye Lingfeng in front of him? It was clearly Yun Feiyang.
And the reason why he was able to recognize Yun Feiyang was because he saw the portrait from the auction house manager. He was immediately embarrassed and said something ashamed.
"It turns out to be Mr. Yun. I'm really sorry. The little girl recognized the wrong person. I wonder why Mr. Yun was out in the room so late with Miss Murong."
When Yun Feiyang heard this, when Liu Ruyan mentioned Murong Qianyue, it was as if the scars in his heart were being opened. His face changed slightly and he sighed and said: "Qianyue has never been able to wake up. I also feel that the air is good today." , I came out to relax, but unexpectedly I ended up here again without realizing it.”
A few days ago, he also received a message from his master Tianjizi, asking him to take Murong Qianyue back to the sect as soon as possible to prepare for the Zhongzhou Competition.
Although Tianji Sect and Xingyue Sect are unworldly sects, the temptation of Shengxian Terrace is not so easy to resist.
Unless it is a secluded sect, such as Binghai Qingxin Pavilion, which pays no attention to the outside world.
"Oh, that's right. Miss Murong is so beautiful, she will definitely wake up, right, just like I believe Ye Lingfeng will definitely appear."
Liu Ruyan responded, thinking that they were the same kind of people, she couldn't help but feel the same way.
"Yes, but I don't know if I can wait until that day. I hope Ye Lingfeng can appear earlier. Only he knows what happened in the Cave of Despair, and only he knows how to wake up Qianyue."
Yun Feiyang's eyes were firm, but deep helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Liu Ruyan was silent when he heard this, and for a while, Yun Feiyang didn't speak either. Just like this, the two of them sat quietly on the grass, looking up at the sky.
Until the evening, Yun Feiyang stood up and said goodbye to Liu Ruyan, and said with concern, asking Liu Ruyan to take care of himself.
This time he happened to be passing by, and it would be terrible if he met a bad guy.
Liu Ruyan nodded and thanked her, and did not leave with Yun Feiyang, but continued to wait for Ye Lingfeng.
She had a hunch that she believed Ye Lingfeng would show up to save her.
If Lingfeng doesn't appear tonight, she will leave Qingcheng early tomorrow morning, and I'm afraid she will never come back again.
It went on like this until late at night, when suddenly there was a heavy wind and rain in the sky, and it rained heavily, and the sound of slaps rang in Liu Ruyan's ears.
After a while, a curtain of rain formed around her. If you didn't look carefully, no one would notice that there was anyone here?
At this time, when the monks in the city saw the pouring rain outside, they would naturally not go out. They were all in their rooms, either practicing alone or gathering in twos and threes to exchange their experiences and insights.
At Han Yan Piao Liu Auction House, because Liu Rumeng discussed cultivation issues with Yu Feiluo at Chen's house and did not go back, it was not known that Liu Ruyan had not returned.
Naturally, those servants from the auction house would not go to Liu Ruyan's boudoir to check. After all, Liu Ruyan, as the eldest lady of Hanyanpiaoliu, not only has high cultivation, but also has abilities far beyond others.
She is usually good to the people in the auction house. Of course, she will not be stupid and only be nice to the servants. Sometimes she will be angry, and if anyone makes a mistake, she will never tolerate it. Therefore, Liu Ruyan is in the auction house. The deterrent force has almost caught up with many elders with real power.
No one knew that Liu Ruyan was actually in the heavy rain at this time, but at this moment Liu Ruyan's whole body was almost soaked.
If anyone was present, they would definitely ask her, why not use magic to separate the rain?
In this regard, Liu Ruyan would just smile and say nothing. For her, this rain seemed to come just for her.
Not only can it cover up the tears on her face, but it can also make her wake up from the rain. Since Ye Lingfeng refuses to appear, let the heavy rain come more violently.
It was just enough to wash away the past between her and Ye Lingfeng, and it was best to make her forget Ye Lingfeng completely and disappear from her world.
Gradually, without using her spiritual power to resist, Liu Ruyan became like an ordinary mortal woman. Her body was so thin that she could not withstand the heavy rain. It didn't take long for her to fall to the rain. Let the heavy rain wash away.
At this moment, in Liu Ruyan's heart, Ye Lingfeng no longer existed, as if she had lost the hope of living, and the intention to die was already born in her heart.
Although Ye Lingfeng was not by her side before, she knew that Ye Lingfeng was still alive and might think of her somewhere and at a certain time.
But what about now? After all, no one will think of her. Instead of that, she might as well follow the Ye Lingfeng.
But she didn't dare to face death. After all, her father was still alive. If she gave up her life like this, her father would be very sad.
As a child, you should consider everything for your parents, and you should not let them feel sad for you. It would be unfilial to give a child with white hair to a child with black hair.
A woman like Liu Ruyan would naturally not do such a thing, so she could only choose to use this method to alleviate her longing for Ye Lingfeng.
If she was really dead, that was it.
If she hadn't died, she would have completely forgotten Ye Lingfeng and started her life again.
But she didn't expect that when she was unconscious, she vaguely saw Ye Lingfeng walking towards her with a faint smile.
She was sure that it was Ye Lingfeng. She was definitely not wrong. She was willing to dare to come out and wanted to run over.
But at this moment, she found that she could not stand up at all, let alone speak.
This made her angry, but she was helpless.
Ye Lingfeng said slowly: "Ruyan, you have to cheer up. Even without me, you can't hurt yourself like this. I can't be with you in this life. I failed you. I hope I can meet you again in the next life. I will repay your love for me in this life..."
As the sound sounded, Liu Ruyan felt that the sound became weaker and weaker, and Ye Lingfeng's figure became further and further away.
"No, Ye Lingfeng, don't leave, don't leave me..."
Liu Ruyan roared angrily when he saw this, and suddenly stood up from the ground.
