Ye Xiaocheng's parents died fighting for the sect. The patriarch of the family hereby distributed a pension of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones. He also showed special kindness and allowed a mortal Ye Xiaocheng to continue to live in his parents' residence, Zilin Xiaoxuan.
According to the rules, all caves are owned by the sect, and the sect will take them back after a person dies, and children and future generations have no inheritance rights.
After his parents died, Ye Xiaocheng was taken care of by the Ling family during the day, and he only had time alone at night. The Lingfeng couple initially did not agree with Ye Xiaocheng living alone at night, but they reluctantly agreed after his repeated requests.
The headmaster also gave Ye Xiaocheng inner disciples the same treatment as the living expenses of one low-grade spiritual stone every month, which was already a huge fortune for a mortal who couldn't practice.
In the mortal world, a low-grade spiritual stone can be worth ten thousand taels of gold.
Ye Xiaocheng and Ning Ruoxue played a little late that day. Ye Xiaocheng stayed at the Ling family at the invitation of Ling Feng and his wife. When he returned home the next day, he found that his home had been visited by thieves, and his belongings It was turned over and everywhere was a mess.
There are actually thieves in the dignified Lingxiao Sword Sect?
This incident not only alarmed the Law Enforcement Hall, but even the patriarch of the headmaster was alarmed. He broke out and strictly ordered an investigation to get to the bottom of the matter. As a result, under the pretext of tracking down clues to the thieves, not only every item, but also every item in Ye Xiaocheng’s home was discovered. Every corner was carefully inspected, and in some places the ground was dug to the ground.
In the end, all the things in his house were taken away, and they were asked to check carefully because there might be a thief's scent left on one of the items.
Seeing what these people did, Ye Xiaocheng's enthusiasm for the sect suddenly turned cold.
No matter how young and naive he was, he could still see that the sect was raiding his home in the name of searching for clues about the thieves.
A few days later, the headmaster sent someone to pick him up and asked him straight to the point if he still had any of his parents' relics hidden at home.
Ye Xiaocheng answered honestly that all his parents' belongings had been taken away and nothing was left.
My father was killed in the battle, and even his body was not found. Although my mother persisted until she returned home, her life was already hanging by a thread. How could she still have the energy to put away the treasures?
As a last resort, the headmaster had no choice but to tell the truth to Ye Xiaocheng.
It turns out that Ye Xiaocheng's parents went on an expedition to the secret realm of Immortal Ruins last time and found a precious treasure. This treasure is related to the life and death of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
The headmaster told him that if he told where the treasure was hidden, the sect would do everything possible to extend his life for five hundred years and enjoy the lifespan of Jindan Zhenren.
Ye Xiaocheng recalled it at a loss for a long time, still looking confused, saying that he didn't know what the treasure was at all, and he had never heard his parents mention that there was a treasure hidden at home.
The headmaster had no choice but to let Ye Xiaocheng go back and return his mother's storage ring to him.
Ye Xiaocheng pretended to refuse, saying that he was a mortal with no magic power and could not use the storage magic weapon at all. This thing was of no use to him. The headmaster sighed and said that even if he couldn't use it, it was his mother's relic and the sect had no right to keep it. .
The headmaster also gave him a spirit storage belt and told him that ten spirit stones could be stored in this thing. People without magic power could use this belt to temporarily use their magic power to open the storage magic weapon.
Ye Xiaocheng put the storage ring on his hand and went back.
After he went back, he checked his mother's relics and found that there was nothing missing. Whether it was spiritual stones, magic weapons, talismans and elixirs, his mother's magic weapons were also inside.
Looking at his mother's relics, Ye Xiaocheng cried for a long time.
Zilin Xiaoxuan was completely ransacked, and not a single straw was left. Naturally, there was no place for people to live there, so Ling Feng and his wife let Ye Xiaocheng live in their home.
The couple warmly entertained Ye Xiaocheng, treating him with delicious food every day, comforting him with gentle words, and showing endless warmth and love. However, both inside and outside the words still made him try to remember where his parents had hidden the treasure.
Ye Xiaocheng pretended not to hear the implication of Ling Feng and his wife, and simply pretended to be confused.
Ling Feng couldn't stand it anymore, and finally showed his cards to him, saying that his parents had a treasure in their hands, which might contain the secret of becoming a god. With this treasure, the sect would have one or even several more supreme gods in a few years. , then the Lingxiao Sword Sect may be respected in Tianfeng Continent.
Ling Feng got a little excited as he spoke, and couldn't help shouting: At present, the Lingxiao Sword Sect is under the joint siege of the evil Huangquan Demon Cult, the Heavenly Corpse Cult, and the Blood Demon Cult. It is estimated that they will not be able to survive for many years. Under the overthrow of the nest, , How can there be a complete egg?
Ning Jin also stepped forward to persuade: My child, as long as you are willing to hand over that treasure, I guarantee that the sect will never let you down and will use all its strength to find a life-extending elixir that will allow you to live for at least five hundred years.
Ye Xiaocheng lowered his head and looked timid, but in fact he was unmoved.
He can see everything clearly now, and he only remembers what his mother told him when she sealed a black ring into his sea of consciousness: Son, you must remember, you must remember over and over again, this thing must not Let anyone know, never leave it to anyone, remember, anyone. Otherwise you will die.
Except for Ye Xiaocheng's parents, no one knew that although he was born without spiritual roots, he was born with the sea of consciousness and divine consciousness.
No one would have thought that a person without spiritual roots would have a sea of consciousness. Even a monk can open up a sea of consciousness in his mind and generate divine consciousness after building the foundation. During the Qi training period, there is only a hazy soul in his mind.
It is a miracle that Ye Xiaocheng, who has no spiritual roots, has sea consciousness and spiritual consciousness, so he has secretly practiced making talismans under the training of his mother since he was a child.
Ye Xiaocheng's mother, Qin Yanran, is the highest-level talisman-making master of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
Although Ye Xiaocheng was young, he remembered his mother's words firmly. At that time, the headmaster's tyrannical consciousness not only searched his whole body, but also carefully inspected his body, including his stomach and stomach. Even the large and small intestines were not spared.
This is a great shame for a person.
It was like a person being dissected alive and his internal organs turned over.
Ye Xiaocheng was frozen at that time, unable to move either his body or his thoughts, just like a sheep tied to the chopping board. He would never forget this shame and humiliation, and sooner or later he would pay it back twice as much.
After checking everything inside and out to make sure he didn't hide anything, the headmaster let him go.
Why didn't the headmaster search his brain, or simply search his soul?
That's because the soul of a mortal is extremely fragile. If it is touched by a monk's spiritual consciousness, it will be shattered, and the person will die. There is no way to search for the soul. This is also common sense in the world of cultivation.
In a person's life, most people mature gradually, but there are also a small number of people who mature in a short period of time or even overnight. Ye Xiaocheng belongs to the latter.
Before his parents passed away, he was still a coquettish baby lying in his mother's arms. However, a series of changes after his parents passed away made him mature in a few days.
In the past two months, Ling Feng and his wife played all the affection and warmth cards on Ye Xiaocheng. In the end, even his childhood sweetheart Ling Ruoxue came to persuade him not to be too stubborn.
Ye Xiaocheng smiled bitterly and remained silent, but he made up his mind: The world is so cold, even if the King of Heaven descends to earth, he will not tell the truth.
What he always remembered was his mother's stern warning to him: Never let anyone know about that thing, let alone give it to anyone, otherwise you will die.
Ye Xiaocheng even suspected that the death of his parents was probably staged by the high-level officials of the sect in order to obtain the treasure.
It's not unreasonable to think so, but he didn't know the inside story at first. It wasn't until the headmaster checked on him and Ling Feng and his wife tricked him that he woke up from a dream.
My parents never talked about "that thing" at home. It was only before taking the order to fight against the Underworld Demon Sect that my mother took out a black ring from her sea of consciousness, and then used a drop of Ye Xiaocheng's blood and a trace of soul to clothe the ring. Prohibition.
In this way, only Ye Xiaocheng can open the ring. If others try to break the ring by force, the ring will be broken and the contents inside will be reduced to nothing.
Why can't anyone discover Ye Xiaocheng's sea of consciousness?
After he was born, the mother discovered this abnormality, but she did not dare to make it public. Instead, she used her soul to place a ban on her son's sea of consciousness, covering up the fluctuations of his consciousness.
Of course, doing this can only deceive the spiritual consciousness of Master Jindan. If the ancestor of Nascent Soul uses strong spiritual consciousness to check, he can still find clues.
But without spiritual roots, you are a mortal, and a mortal will never have divine consciousness. This is an iron law in the world of cultivation. No one can imagine that there are monsters like Ye Xiaocheng who are born with sea of consciousness and divine consciousness. .
Therefore, the patriarch did not scan Ye Xiaocheng's mind. He was worried that if he accidentally killed Ye Xiaocheng, the whereabouts of the treasure would be lost forever.
