C65 Smelting Meridian!
"Brother Li Zhui, you know about what happened to scrawny monkey. He and I need to go into closed door cultivation, so please protect us. Many thanks!"
After giving some instructions, Ye Wuchen and scrawny monkey walked into the room inside the inn while Li Zhui stayed behind in the outer room.
Li Zhui had already blended into the two people's circle, so he naturally knew why scrawny monkey's meridians were broken. He also understood that Ye Wuchen was going to the Gazing Mountain to get the Soul-Cultivating Grass, and only the Soul-Cultivating Grass could increase the success rate.
Li Zhui had set up a barrier behind the outer hall. With his barrier, unless a Holy Spirit rank powerhouse could break it, he would only be able to look at it with joy.
Soul-Cultivating Grass? Li Zhui muttered to himself, wasn't it the Soul-Cultivating Grass that Ye Wuchen absorbed during the sneak attack? After absorbing, Ye Wuchen's strength had improved by leaps and bounds, could it be that Ye Wuchen was a Soul Cultivator?
Soul Cultivator s were different from cultivators in all of Heavenly Awakening Continent. Cultivators required a sacred body and sacred veins, while Soul Cultivator s only required a strong soul. The stronger the soul, the more terrifying the soul was, and the stronger they would be.
Thinking of Soul Cultivator, the first expert Li Zhui thought of was that Imperial Capital's founder. Ye Tian, the Ye Tian, that year Ye Tian was a typical Soul Cultivator. With his terrifying soul and mental strength, he was invincible throughout the world.
Amongst the Three Great Masters, there was Duan Hongmeng who had an Innate Spirit Body, Ye Tian who had a Soul Cultivator, and Han Yitian who had an Innate Sacred Vein.
The three of them seemed to have encompassed the top cultivation bodies, the Innate Sacred Body and Innate Sacred Veins, as well as the Soul Cultivator that could not be ignored.
But because Ye Tian had disappeared, the Soul Cultivator had been humiliated by everyone and the people of the continent were also targeting the Soul Cultivator. They believed that Soul Cultivator went against the morals of cultivators, so whenever they saw one, they would kill it.
If Ye Tian Zhizun was still alive, then who in the world would dare to treat Soul Cultivator unfairly? Probably no one would dare, but without Zhi Zun supporting him, the Soul Cultivator would not dare to be exposed to the sun.
In the inner hall, Ye Wuchen had scrawny monkey lie flat on the bed. For him to take out the Holy Shield Furnace and refine the meridians, he needed the flame inside the Holy Shield Furnace. Even more so, he needed his strong mental strength as support to reconnect the broken meridians.
It would probably take several months, so he absolutely could not be impatient. If he became impatient, he might even fail.
"scrawny monkey, let me ask you one last time. Are you willing to bear the consequences of failure?" Ye Wuchen frowned and finally asked scrawny monkey about his decision. However, scrawny monkey's face was full of determination as he gritted his teeth. He didn't say anything and waited for the refinement of his meridians to begin.
Ye Wuchen nodded slightly and sighed. The flames from the Holy Shield Furnace gushed out with a loud sound, the blood-red sacred flame was extremely terrifying. In an instant, the temperature in the room rose to several hundred degrees, and it was even rising.
"Old fellow, this time I'm not refining a medicinal pill, but rather refining a broken meridian. You better not embarrass me!" Ye Wuchen whispered. He touched the Holy Shield Furnace and it flashed a little, as if agreeing.
After having a strong spiritual power control, Ye Wuchen's integration with the flames was very smooth. He then channeled the flames into scrawny monkey's meridians, but to prevent Wu Tie from being burned by the flames.
However, no matter how cold the ice was, it was still slowly melting after seeing the flames. However, the speed at which it melted could be disregarded. After all, the flames entered the meridians and not the outside.
Ah!
But even so, when the scorching flames seeped into scrawny monkey's broken meridian, scrawny monkey still cried out miserably. The piercing pain caused his body to curl up, but he clenched his teeth and persevered. In order to recover his strength, he could endure any kind of pain.
When Li Zhui heard this, he couldn't help but frown. To refine meridians, Ye Wuchen's courage was too great. If he failed, scrawny monkey might not even be able to keep his life. Of course, the most daring one would be scrawny monkey.
However, if I become trash and have the chance to do so, I will agree to it, Li Zhui thought silently.
As time passed by, the process of refining the meridians couldn't be rushed, so it would be very slow. The broken meridians would slowly melt into liquid, and then after some temperature control, the liquid would solidify. Only then would the meridians be completely melted, but the process was very long.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. There was less than a month and a half before the academy's recruitment time.
Even when the nobles' heaven's pride level experts were secretly inquiring about Ye Wuchen, it was as if Ye Wuchen had disappeared into thin air. He could not be found in the entire imperial city.
This made a lot of people suspicious. They all thought that Ye Wuchen was afraid of getting revenge from the royal family, so he obediently went back to the Tianyong City? However, many curious people noticed after they went to Tianyong City that Ye Wuchen did not go back.
This time, it became even more lively. The recently famous Heaven's Pride had disappeared just like that. The several assassination attempts by the Heaven's Pride aristocracy on Ye Wuchen had also failed.
Of course, when the imperial guards searched all the inns in the capital, they naturally found Ye Wuchen's inn as well. However, when they met Li Zhui who was sitting in the outer hall, they could only be completely crushed.
Even when the empire's ninth prince, Qin Liuyang, personally came here, he was still beaten by Wu Tie to the point where he couldn't even find the source of the trouble. Qin Liuyang's face was full of panic and he no longer dared to come here to cause trouble.
What a joke, this person was a Peak Saint Master while he himself was only a Seventh Layer Saint Master. If he were to cause trouble for him, wouldn't he be courting death?
Another month passed just like that. There was less than half a month left before the academy's recruitment. At this time, the nobles also gave up on assassinating Ye Wuchen to stop Ye Wuchen. Instead, they discussed a little and let Ye Wuchen enter the school.
However, once they entered the academy, they would be able to trample on Ye Wuchen in broad daylight, and that would be even more satisfying.
Within the imperial city, Tang Xuner and Qin Ming were on good terms. As her grandfather, Qin Ming, was in charge. In a short span of three months, Tang Xuner had broken through from the Fifth Layer to the Sixth Layer, which was not far from the Seventh Layer.
"Xun Er, what is your impression of Shen Shi?" Qin Ming wore a beard and had a weird smile on his face as if he was pointing something out.
Tang Xuner, however, didn't understand Qin Ming's hidden meaning. She lightly nodded her head and pursed her lips as she smiled, "Shen Duo is very good to me. Hehe. He has always lost when he competed with me."
"Haha, you little girl, I've let you win. Otherwise, with your brother Shen Duo's Peak Eighth Layer Saint Master strength, he'd be able to become one of the top ten heaven's pride experts in the empire!" Qin Ming laughed heartily. To be able to get such an evaluation from Tang Xuner, Shen Hong must have put in a lot of effort.
"Well, I know, I'm not stupid!" Tang Xuner pouted unhappily, her face filled with displeasure. Seeing this, Qin Ming immediately gave in and smiled, "Alright, alright. Xun Er is really smart!"
"Grandfather, did you really not find Little Big Brother?" Although Tang Xuner's strength had improved in the past three months, she didn't forget that Ye Wuchen was also in the capital. However, Ye Wuchen seemed to have disappeared as if he had disappeared.
"That brat Ye Wuchen was too arrogant a while ago. After injuring Qin Wuhao and Qin Liuyang, he went up to the ninth floor of Gazing Mountain and created a century-old history of the empire!"
"This kind of kid, it's easy to break when he's too tough. Not good, not good at all!" Qin Ming squinted his eyes and sighed weirdly. He glanced at Tang Xuner out of the corner of his eyes. However, he saw the cold look on Tang Xuner's face. He thought that Tang Xuner had said the wrong thing.
"I'm warning you, don't try to harm me. I know what you mean, but I'm telling you, with Shen Qi as a trash, she's not fit to be my man!"
"In the Tang Sect, there are at least ten heaven's pride level experts that could defeat Shen Fang in three moves, but I don't even place those ten in my eyes. Let alone Shen Ning!"
"Grandfather, I hope this matter ends here!" The coldness on Tang Xuner's face was accompanied by a trace of killing intent that was akin to a demon spirit.
Qin Ming was silent, he thought Tang Xuner couldn't see through his thoughts, and it was true that he wanted to match up with Shen Shi and Tang Xuner, but the reality was that Tang Xuner was too proud and arrogant, and she didn't even like Shen Li.
What kind of concept was this young miss of the Tang Sect? If Shen Wan was with Tang Xuner, that would mean that they were able to get close to her.
Tang Xuner left the imperial city in a very bad mood. The guards didn't dare to stop this evil woman and were afraid of getting beaten up, so naturally, Tang Xuner left to find Ye Wuchen. She began to feel that entering the imperial city was a mistake.
After Tang Xuner left, Qin Ming coughed as he looked towards the back with an awkward expression and shouted, "Shen Cong, come out!"
Not long later, Shen Ning, who was wearing a black robe, walked out from the inner hall. She respectfully cupped her fist and indicated to Qin Ming. Then, her expression turned ugly, yet she did not dare to get angry.
"Sigh, forget about it in the future. Xun Er is indeed not someone you can meddle in. My grandfather is only grandfather. He can't be her master, because she is the young miss of the Tang Sect!" Qin Ming said with a bitter face and self-mockery. He thought he could make Tang Xuner's decision, but now he had suffered a lot.
Shen Shi smiled as she nodded her head, "Of course, Shen Shi is naturally unworthy to be Young Miss. I will pay attention!"
"Mm, you can leave now!" Qin Ming nodded his head in satisfaction and waved his hand at Shen Cong.
However, when she turned around, her expression was exceptionally sinister and cold. There was even a trace of malevolence on her face. She squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, which could be described as sinister and cunning, "Ye Wuchen, I will definitely kill you!"
He blamed all of this on Ye Wuchen. If it wasn't for Ye Wuchen, he wouldn't have even the slightest chance with Tang Xuner. Of course, he wouldn't dare to find trouble with Tang Xuner unless he felt that he had a long life!
