Southern Land, Xuanyi Mountain
âHu, I finally caught you.â
Bai Ye heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at the frog before him that was enveloped by spirit energy.
In the past month, because of this frog, Bai Ye had been besieged by many elders. If not for his deep cultivation, he would have been killed long ago.
âYesterday, when I peeked at Elder Zhu bathing, I realized that he was actually wearing a womanâs undergarment. Hahaha.â
âIâve been too tired from teaching recently. Looks like I need to find time to go to the Thousand Phoenix Pavilion at the foot of the mountain to relax.â
The frog didnât seem to know that it was in danger, and it continued to repeat what it had just learned.
ââ¦â
If not for this frog, Bai Ye probably would not have known that there were so many strange people inside the sect!
âIâm afraid Iâm the only normal person in this sect.â Bai Ye sighed.
âSigh, I absolutely canât let them know that I, the sect master, was responsible for that frog and the birds. Otherwise, wouldnât I be beaten to death?â
Bai Ye :ââ¦â
This damned frog must not be left alive. He had to kill it!
Just as Bai Ye was about to kill the frog, Qin Jue suddenly walked in from outside.
âSenior Brother, what do you think this is?
Bai Ye turned around and was slightly stunned. âEssence Soul?â
âThatâs right.â Qin Jue smiled.
âWhose Essence Soul is it?â
Bai Ye frowned. There shouldnât be any high-level cultivators coming to court death recently.
âI think his name is Wuji Saint.â
Bai Ye :ââ¦â
âAre you talking about that Wuji Saint who appeared on the news recently?â
âSo Senior Brother knows him.â
âOf course. It was reported on the Spiritnet 10 days ago.â Bai Ye pursed his lips. âIn other words, you went to the Wuji Mystic Realm?â
In fact, Bai Ye had already known about the Wuji Mystic Realm, but he had no intention of participating. Although he was at the peak of the Heaven Stage and was very curious about new and interesting things, in order to live a little longer, it was best for him to obediently stay in the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
It was also because of this thought that Xuanyi Mountain Sect had not expanded to the outside world.
âYeah, I went to get some spirit wine.â
Qin Jue took out a pot of spirit wine and said without hiding anything.
âThen how did you get his Essence Soul? Wasnât the Wuji Saint already dead?â
âNo, the Wuji Saint isnât dead yet. His Essence Soul had been fused with the Wuji Mystic Realm.â
Qin Jue explained, âHe wanted to devour the cultivators who entered the Wuji Mystic Realm and use it to revive, so I destroyed the place. I didnât expect him to forcefully escape, so I captured him and brought him back.â
âSounds like a lot of interesting things happened.â
Bai Ye listened with relish. âBut why did you bring him back?â
âDidnât you want to use Essence Soul to refine pills last time? This is the Essence Soul of a Saint Stage expert.â Qin Jue smiled.
Hearing this, Bai Yeâs eyes lit up. âYou want to give him to me for pill refining?â
âIâve already sealed his spirit energy. You can use it anytime.â
âHahaha, thank you, Junior Brother.â
Bai Ye was overjoyed and was about to rush up to hug Qin Jue until he saw Qin Jueâs raised fist. He immediately stopped awkwardly and said, âDonât worry Junior Brother, I definitely wonât disappoint you. Give me one day, and in one day, I will absolutely refine a peerless medicinal pill!â
Bai Yeâs words were sonorous and powerful, filled with confidence. If one didnât know better, they would think that he was really a pill refinement master.
ââ¦â
Qin Jue rolled his eyes speechlessly. He didnât know how many times he had heard similar words, but up until now, Bai Ye had yet to refine any normal pill.
âWhat? Youâre using me to refine pills?!â
After listening to their conversation, the expression of the Wuji Saint in the green light changed drastically. He immediately struggled frantically to escape, but his spirit energy had already been sealed by Qin Jue. With his current state, not to mention a Heaven Stage expert, he wouldnât even be able to fight a Yellow Stage cultivator. So how could he possibly escape from Bai Yeâs hands?
âGo ahead and scream. No one will care even if you scream your throat out.â
Taking the green light from Qin Jueâs hand, Bai Ye revealed an extremely evil smile. Two days ago, when he was flipping through the pill refining books, he had just learned a new pill refining technique that he could use to test it on this Essence Soul.
Bai Ye was a little excited just thinking about the Essence Soul of a Saint Stage expert.
After handing the Wuji Saint to Bai Ye, Qin Jue returned to his cliff. As for what happened to Shen Zhiwen, Qin Jue didnât care at all.
He wasnât familiar with Shen Zhiwen, and after this incident, as long as Shen Zhiwen was smart enough, he wouldnât come to him again. Otherwise, Qin Jue wouldnât mind directly erasing Shen Zhiwenâs intelligence.
When Qin Jue returned to the courtyard, the girl had already left and the sky had darkened.
Taking out a few fruit trees that he had brought out from the Wuji Mystic Realm, Qin Jue planted one by the blue stone, and the rest in the courtyard. These fruit trees were all spirit plants above the fourth level. As soon as they were buried, they took root and emitted a faint spirit qi.
With these few spirit herbs, he believed that it wouldnât be long before the surrounding spirit qi became even richer.
By the time Qin Jue finished his work, night had quietly fallen. The silver moon was like a hook that hung on the horizon. Everything seemed exceptionally calm.
Originally, Qin Jue had planned to pour a few drops of thousand-year-old spirit wine for Yun Xi, but after thinking about it, with Yun Xiâs current cultivation, it was simply impossible for it to withstand the spirit qi contained in the wine, so he could only choose to give it up.
âLittle Qing, itâs been a while since Iâve chatted with you.â
Qin Jue leaned against the blue stone and took a sip of wine as he said faintly.
Bluestone :ââ¦â
âUh⦠I donât think thereâs anything to say. Forget it, letâs continue drinking.â
Bluestone:(`? ?)?â°ã²â¯
Just as Qin Jue was drunk and about to fall asleep, a deafening bang suddenly came from the distance, and the entire Xuanyi Mountain Sect shook violently.
Qin Jue opened his eyes and saw a ball of black smoke rising from the direction of the main hall. He didnât need to think to know that Bai Yeâs furnace had definitely exploded again, but this time, the black smoke didnât turn into a skull.
Sighing helplessly, Qin Jue stood up and walked towards the main hall, wanting to see what Bai Ye had done this time.
Outside the main hall, Bai Ye was standing there cleanly without a trace of dust on his body. Clearly, he had already run out before the furnace exploded.
Seeing Qin Jue coming over, Bai Yeâs expression was slightly awkward.
âDonât tell me that the one who blew up the furnace just now was the Wuji Saintâs Essence Soul.â
âUh⦠yeah.â
Qin Jue :ââ¦â
Didnât you say that you would definitely be able to refine a peerless medicinal pill within a dayâs time? It hasnât even been half a day, right?
âHowever, I successfully condensed the pill before the furnace exploded and took it out.â
Bai Ye opened his palm, and indeed, there was a dark green medicinal pill lying inside.
âIs this thing safe to eat?â
Qin Jueâs face darkened.
âI donât know.â
Bai Ye shook his head.
ââ¦â
âBut Iâve already found an experimental subject.â
As he spoke, Bai Ye opened his other palm, revealing a frog lying on it.
ââ¦â
