Chapter 155 Chasing the Soul
"Very good," the fourth elder said happily: "All the clan brothers have heard the words of Fairy Juexin. Even the fairy said that this child has excellent qualifications, and it seems that he has the hope of completing that thing."
The second elder frowned. After a moment of pondering, he nodded and said, "Okay, since Fairy Juexin praised this son for his excellent qualifications, I will let him give it a try."
"However," the second elder paused and said, "This is a major event for our clan. Naturally, everything must be followed by the rules and must not be careless."
The fourth elder was immediately a little unhappy. He frowned and asked, "What does the second elder mean?"
The second elder of the "Ten Fights" said word by word: "According to the ancestor's teachings, those who want to enter the forbidden area to accept inheritors, in addition to excellent qualifications and practicing the ancestor's martial arts to the extreme, they must also accept the challenge of the ten-match battles. Only by winning ten games in a row can they have the chance to enter the forbidden area and try it."
"Hmph, isn't the second elder trying to make a difficult situation?" The fourth elder said unhappily: "This son is just the early stage of Shenyou cultivation. How can he win the ten-game battle? Several clan brothers and clans can easily subdue this son by sending one person to take action."
The second elder said: "The fourth brother doesn't have to worry. I didn't say that we, the elders of the Dharma-Speed Field, also want to join the Ten-Speed Field. Anyway, the forbidden area mainly evaluates the qualifications rather than whether the magic power is strong. Cultivators with low cultivation also have the opportunity to pass the selection of the forbidden area. In this case, the Ten-Speed Field is indispensable because this was explained by the ancestors; however, this Ten-Speed Field, only tribe members in the Shenyou Realm are allowed to participate, which is already the biggest concession that I can make."
"What do you think, brothers, do you think?" The fourth elder asked the other elders again.
The rest of them nodded and agreed.
"Okay, the Great Elder is in seclusion, so it's not convenient to disturb him. Since all the brothers of the clan agree unanimously, I will decide on this matter." The Fourth Elder said readily.
None of the elders expressed their objections, but a voice came from the Lord's seat:
"Slow down"
The person who speaks is Li Muran.
"What do you have to say?" The fourth elder looked at Li Muran with his eyes shrinking.
Li Muran said seriously: "What do you seniors want me to do? What are your instructions? Please tell me clearly. Otherwise, I will die sooner or later. Why should I be merciless and do things for others before my death?"
The fourth elder shouted angrily: "Your life is in my hands, but you still dare not bargain."
"Hmph, I will only die at most." Li Muran resolutely said: "Since I'm going to die, why bother to be exploited? Since my senior refuses to say it clearly and refuses to make a statement to ensure that I can save my life after completing the instructions given by my senior. How can I do my best to do my best for my senior?"
The second elder smiled slightly and said, "You can rest assured about this. This time I want to use your hand to take out a treasure left by my ancestors from the forbidden area of my clan. After the matter is completed, I will not only not hurt your life, but also regard you as a young talent in my clan and focus on cultivating it. As the second elder of my clan, I openly said this in front of the elders and juniors Yiyu in this glazed hall. This is a promise. How could I do something that would ignore my faith and lose all my face."
"However, before entering the forbidden area, my friend still needs to go through many assessments. This is also limited by the rules of this clan, but there is no malicious intention."
"As for the specific matters of the forbidden area and treasures, it involves the secrets of this clan. I cannot disclose too much for the time being. I wonder if my words can make my friends feel at ease?"
After hearing this, Li Muran pondered for a moment and said, "Since the second elder and senior promised, I should do my best to serve you."
"No problem, then let's go with me." The fourth elder snorted coldly, bowed to the elders and Fairy Juexin, and took Li Muran away from here.
After returning to the cave palace of the fourth elders, Li Muran was arranged by the fourth elders in a side hall. Although his range of actions was slightly wider, he was still restricted and could not leave the side hall one step.
He also changed into the sand clan costumes as the other party's instructions. These costumes are woven from sand silkworm spirit silk. They are not only light but also extremely tough. They avoid the heat and cold, and even have a slight protective effect on some magic attacks.
A few days later, he was arranged to hold a worship ceremony again, and since then he stayed in the sand clan as the disciple of the fourth elder.
Seeing that Li Muran was quite cooperative with all these arrangements, the fourth elder gradually improved his attitude towards him.
Half a month later, the fourth elder came to Li Muran's side hall in person to check Li Muran's cultivation.
"Senior, I have been practicing night walking and phantom Techniques in accordance with my predecessor's requirements these days." Li Muran replied.
"I naturally know." The fourth elder nodded with a smile, "I have arranged a lot of people around Li Xiaoyou. According to their return, Li Xiaoyou is quite diligent in practicing, which is rare."
Li Muran smiled bitterly and said, "Senior has already said that if the younger generation cannot complete the task, they will send the younger generation to feed the holy insects; the younger generation knows that their lives are at stake, and they must not practice hard."
"It's right," the fourth elder said seriously: "This matter is only allowed to succeed, not fail. However, I will also do my best to help my friend. Therefore, this time I personally brought some treasures to my friend."
As he said that, the fourth elder took out a lot of treasures from his arms and introduced them one by one:
"These are essence pills refined with the essence of the middle-level monsters above level 4 in the desert. They can not only be used to refine and improve magic power, but also have obvious gain effects on practicing the technique of using qi to transform essence. There are only one hundred essence pills here, and just the essence of the monsters above level 4, it consumes more than ten pieces. Li Xiaoyou should know what a precious treasure this is."
Li Muran felt a sudden heart. One hundred essence pills were indeed a huge fortune. This kind of high-quality pill requires hundreds of spirit stones, and hundreds were tens of thousands of spirit stones. Many cultivators in the Divine Travel Period could not accumulate so much wealth after practicing for a lifetime.
Moreover, this kind of spiritual elixir is priceless, even if you can get so many spiritual stones, it is impossible to buy so many elixirs at once. It takes opportunity to buy a little occasionally.
Only those who are experts in the Dharma-level stage of the Fourth Elder have the ability and qualification to bring out so many spiritual treasures at once.
"Thank you for the rewards of me," Li Muran respectfully thanked him, and then took it one by one without hesitation.
The fourth elder continued: "In addition to these essence pills, there are several spiritual medicines here, which are all beneficial to my friend's practice. I will take them one by one as described in the jade slip. These Tianbao flowers are also a kind of spiritual medicine unique to this desert, and are also beneficial to the cultivation of our saints. The people of this clan have the custom of eating Tianbao flowers, so there is some special breath. My friend will eat some when he has time to increase the breath of this clan to avoid other elders from saying anything about your identity."
"Yes," Li Muran nodded, agreed respectfully, and calmly accepted dozens of spiritual medicines such as Tianbaohua.
However, he was ecstatic. For the Sha people, this Tianbaohua was just an ordinary spiritual medicine. They lived in the desert for a long time and could easily find this kind of spiritual flower. For the Tianshan Sect, this is a raw material for refining Shenyou Pills, and it is the most rare and restrictive raw material with the smallest quantity. Therefore, the value of Tianbaohua is very high for the Tianshan Sect and the reward is also very generous.
"If so many Tianbao flowers are handed over to the sect, wouldn't they have to receive a large number of Guyuan Dan rewards?" Li Muran thought to himself that Guyuan Dan is a magic pill that is useful to almost all the monks of the Divine Travel Period, and is very suitable for Li Muran's practice.
However, thinking of the current predicament, Li Muran sighed again: "I don't know if I can return to the sect safely, otherwise it would be a waste to have so many Tianbao flowers."
Seeing that Li Muran was quite happy, the fourth elder nodded with a smile and said, "These spiritual medicines and pills are all prepared for the little friend's cultivation; however, half a month later, the little friend will face the challenge of ten battles and face the ten gods and wandering cultivators. I wonder what preparations are you doing?"
Li Muran frowned and said, "The seniors naturally know the strength of their younger generations. If they deal with the early stage monks of Shenyou who are in the same realm, they are still somewhat sure; but if they face the middle stage monks of Shenyou or even the late stage monks of Shenyou, they will inevitably fall behind a lot in various aspects such as mana and such, and they are not sure of winning at all.
"Young friend, don't belittle yourself," said the fourth elder, "With the strength that Xiaoyou showed against Ji Chen, a cultivator of the Flame Soul Sect in the late stage of the Divine Travel, ordinary cultivators in the middle stage of the Divine Travel are probably not the enemy of your friend. However, when you encounter some powerful late stage of the Divine Travel, it is indeed a bit troublesome."
"Young friend doesn't need to worry too much. I have already dealt with this." The fourth elder said: "On the one hand, I will make arrangements in the ten battles to minimize the number of late-stage monks in Shenyou who will go to fight. On the other hand, I also brought a treasure to you, which can greatly increase your strength when fighting."
As he said that, the fourth elder carefully opened the last jade box, containing two scimitars about two feet long, one blue and one red.
This pair of magic tools has a simple style and the runes on it are also very profound. With Li Muran's rune attainments, he can't understand them at all.
The fourth elder stretched out his two fingers, lifted up two scimitars, and said with a solemn expression: "This is a pair of ancient swords. They have been passed down for a long time, and there are countless owners who have experienced them. Its name is "Soul Chasing and Soul-Saving and Soul-Saving"
"The green sword is called Chasing the Soul, and the red sword is called Saw Soul. What is the magic of this pair of ancient swords? You might as well take it and experience it yourself." The fourth elder said, and handed the pair of ancient swords to Li Muran.
Li Muran thanked him for taking it, holding a knife in his hands. He was good at making talismans and had a very fine grasp of the force in his hands, so he could estimate that the weight of the two knifes was about nine pounds and nine taels. He waved it a few times and then several sword lights were cut out, but nothing special was seen.
