Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 387 Eliminate Suspicion
The Spring Rain Knife is extremely delicate.

It looks like a willow swaying in the wind, or a dragon swimming in the blue waves.

The knife was raised.

"I have a sword technique, please teach me."

Shen Ye said.

"Come on." said the flaming figure.

Shen Ye hesitated and said, "But I only have the strength of the eighth level of the Dharma Realm—"

"Don't worry, I'm also suppressed at the eighth level." The flaming figure said impatiently.

"That's good."

The words have not yet fallen.

Shen Ye held the knife and took a step forward. Everything around him suddenly became stagnant.

at the same time.

He disappeared from the spot.

The flaming figure was originally a little lazy, but the moment Shen Ye disappeared, it suddenly shouted "Blade of Time"?
All of a sudden.

A large flaming shield rotating in four directions appeared in the void, blocking the flaming figure in four directions.

——However, the Spring Rain Sword is a dark gold-level sword.

It doesn't have much power, only one -

"Attacks delivered with this sword cannot be blocked."

This one thing alone is more powerful than countless powers!
The long sword suddenly came out from the void, like a gentle warm breeze, gently brushing across the flaming shield.

Sword skills: dream stealing!
Under the cover of the large shield, the flame figure was originally making magic seals, preparing to release a new round of attack spells.

But the flaming shield did not block the sword as he expected.

knife--

Just like piercing through a layer of paper, it passed through the flame shield and instantly turned into thirty-six sword shadows, spreading in all directions and slashing towards the flame figure.

"Varied--"

The flaming figure withdrew the magic seal, temporarily drew out a pair of fist blades, spun his body, and drew beautiful white sharp lines in an attempt to block all the knife shadows.

but.

Unstoppable.

A pair of fist blades shattered on the spot.

Thirty-six sword shadows slashed straight down.

The flame figure finally woke up.

——This knife is unstoppable!

Then hide.

The flame figure twisted its body, changing its position seventy-two times in an instant, dodging and moving among the thirty-six layers of sword shadows.

Shen Ye suddenly sang: "What a beautiful jasmine flower."

Diva's skills: a gorgeous opening!
The thirty-six sword shadows suddenly changed, transforming into sharp petals that were as cold and bright as snow, swaying in the wind and constantly chasing and slashing the flaming humanoid.

——With the addition of the singing girl's skills, it is even more difficult to see the origin and foundation of the swordsmanship.

"Jasmine, jasmine."

Shen Ye sang another line.

All of a sudden.

The Spring Rain Sword was handed to the flaming figure, and thirty-six sword shadows surrounded the long sword, blooming like flowers.

The flaming figure was completely sealed, with no place to hide, and was chopped off with one blow.

——This is not over yet. Shen Ye’s knife pierced its heart, crossed the limitations of time and space, and reached the other side.

the other side--

The central hall.

The headmaster and a group of elders sat on the high platform.

There was a flash of void.

But then a long knife as thin as a willow came out from nowhere and stabbed into the chest of the master.

Before everyone could react, the master, Saint Saint, raised his hand and flicked his finger lightly on the blade.

when!
The sound of metal clashing with stone resounded throughout the hall.

The knife paused, retreated into the void and disappeared.

Like a startled wild goose, coming and going without a trace.

Everyone was horrified.

——Someone actually dared to assassinate the Holy Lord!

who is it!

Several elders were about to stand up, but the Holy Master said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. I'm just testing my moves with someone."

"Space swordsmanship?" asked an elder.

"It also carries a bit of the power of time." another elder added.

"Ordinary mortals can't think of such a move, and I haven't seen it either - it should be a self-created move, not bad." The Holy Lord said lightly.

He glanced into the void, his expression gloomy and unclear.

same moment.

Alchemy room.

The flaming figure that had turned to ashes reappeared and landed gently in front of Shen Ye.

"Come again?"

Shen Ye took a defensive stance.

"Time is limited, so that's all for today." said the flame figure.

"Alchemy furnace?" Shen Ye asked.

"Take it and use it." said the flame figure.

Shen Ye immediately put away his knife and said hurriedly, "Then I'll be leaving. We'll be gathering to carry out the mission soon."

"Don't be impatient."

The flame figure asked slowly, "I see Dao Zhengyi is trying to help you accumulate points. What are you going to do?"

"Go to the library and look for some powerful martial arts techniques." Shen Ye said.

The flame figure raised his hand.

A drop of blood emitting bursts of scarlet light quietly appeared and floated on its hand.

"The true blood of the emperor's bones."

"This is a rare treasure. If you get it, it will surely be even more powerful."

The flame figure said.

"Damn it, how do you know I need it? Who are you?" Shen Ye shouted angrily.

His identity was revealed, and he became furious and angry, bursting with murderous intent, as if he could attack at any time.

The knife was also raised.

The flame figure didn't care and said something else:

"You have such sword skills, which proves that you also want to become stronger and are not a good-for-nothing playboy."

"If you go to the Unfixed Layer to carry out a mission, you don't know when you can return. How about this? I will allow you to travel back and forth so that you can practice and complete the mission at the same time."

"If you perform well in the mission and achieve certain results in your training—"

"I will give you this drop of blood as a reward."

The words have not yet fallen.

It, along with the drop of blood, suddenly disappeared.

Only Shen Ye was left standing there.

He frowned slightly, then quickly smoothed his brows, then reached out and patted the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace was immediately put away.

Got it!
Shen Ye was about to leave the alchemy room when he saw a flash of fire flying towards him.

The voice of the headmaster Saint rang out from the fire talisman:
"Nangong Wantu, a true disciple of Xuanmen, is responsible for the logistics of this mission. I am granted a token of communication between heaven and earth!"

A flash of golden light flew over and appeared as a token in front of Shen Ye.

Logistics supplies...

What should I do?

He probed into the token with his divine sense and found that there was indeed a task inside.

——Take a batch of fasting pills from the sect’s warehouse, prepare standard armor for melee professions, prepare talismans for sorcerers, and so on.

Transport it to the amorphous layer personally.

Once the mission is completed, you can return to the sect and do your own things.

I will only take action again when there is another logistics supply mission.

Quite humane.

Is this considered the sect’s care for me?

Shen Ye walked out of the alchemy room, only to see several cultivators already standing outside.

"Nangong Wantu, a disciple of Xuanmen?"

The leader asked.

"It's me. May I ask who are your senior brothers?" Shen Ye looked around at everyone.

"Just like you, we are all responsible for logistics escort." Several people took out identical tokens and showed them in front of Shen Ye.

"I am a new disciple and I don't understand many things. I hope the senior brothers can take care of me." Shen Ye bowed to everyone.

"Okay, okay." Several people said.

Shen Ye was about to exchange a few more pleasantries to close the distance between them, when he suddenly saw lines of dimly lit small words appear:

"The Holy Pestle has sensed the power fluctuations of the Great Array of the Supreme Dao Palace, and has sensed the invasion of the Supreme Soul Demon."

"Activate the body protection function now to break the illusion in front of you and let you see the truth."

Shen Ye was startled.

Before his eyes, several fellow brothers from the sect disappeared.

Instead, there were human-shaped black shadows.

——These senior brothers are not human!

The shimmer appeared in small letters:
"You have seen the soul demon from the Supreme Life Binding Soul Refining Palace."

It’s the soul demon!
Shen Ye's heart suddenly tightened.

These were the disciples who were eaten by the Dharmashang Tai Shang Binding Soul Refining Palace. Their souls were transformed into soul demons, who disguised themselves as normal humans and reappeared in the Taoist Palace.

——Yun Ni is dead, and her inner demon has disappeared without a trace.

Then, these soul demons naturally come from the Holy Master.

But that’s not right!
Everything was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly start to doubt me now?
Shen Ye's mind was full of thoughts, but he smiled and said:
"Brothers, what should we do now?"

The leading soul demon said, "You are the nephew of the next generation sent by Senior Tu Fusheng himself. The head and the elders are also very concerned about you and personally told us to take care of you."

Shen Ye immediately showed gratitude and bowed:

"Even so, I will work hard to complete the task and will never hold my brothers back."

Several people laughed.

"Okay, you are such a smart kid, why would we embarrass you?"

"What do you mean, senior brother?"

"Give me the token, and we will be responsible for transporting the supplies—"

"I see you are practicing alchemy, so you should study hard. If you can make good pills in the future, don't forget your brothers."

"Thank you, senior brother!" Shen Ye said gratefully.

He handed the token to the other party.

The soul demon took the token, took out a formation plate and handed it to him, saying:

"This array plate is engraved with a high-level shielding array that can block all interference. You can keep it and focus on refining the elixir and practicing."

Shen Ye took the formation plate, took out a storage bag and handed it to the other party, saying with a smile:
"How can I do this? I'm not taking it for nothing, brother. This is a small token of my appreciation."

The Soul Demon weighed the storage bag, said another sentence "work hard", and turned away with everyone.

Only Shen Ye stood there.

He rubbed his hands happily and said to himself, "I don't have to run around, and I can get sect points. This is really a good deal."

After saying that, he strode into the alchemy room, closed the door, activated the array plate, and immediately began to refine the elixir.

The situation is not right.

Why did it suddenly take a turn for the worse, trapping me here and forcing me to continue refining the elixir?
I had clearly planned to let myself go to the amorphous universe!
after all……

Shen Ye picked up the Taoist secret in his hand.

A blazing flame suddenly came out of the alchemy furnace.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that after I touched the alchemy furnace, a flaming human figure immediately appeared to test me.

Then the sect’s mission changed.

The soul demons are out.

I am trapped in this alchemy room.

So, the problem should lie in the alchemy.

Shen Ye stared at the alchemy furnace, waited for the right moment, cast a spell, and put various materials into it.

Alchemy...

Why would alchemy change the situation?

No.

It's a furnace.

His heart tightened and he immediately came up with a guess.

Perhaps the secret of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams alchemy furnace was not well preserved but was leaked.

Someone knew this secret, so he approached the furnace on purpose, which immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups.

They began to test themselves.

More than just a test—

Perhaps they were waiting for me to open the secret compartment on the alchemy furnace.

Once I do that, my identity will be exposed immediately.

From another perspective——

The sect does not allow me to leave and go to the indefinite universe!
Because once you leave, your every move can no longer be monitored!

Yes.

Although he is currently the "backbone that drives the sect's progress", if he has anything to do with Tongtianshu, the situation will immediately be different.

So they were waiting—

Wait and see what you will do!
When Shen Ye figured out the whole thing, he felt a chill in his heart.

He no longer thought about the secret compartment in the alchemy furnace.

after all.

If the other party already knew about the secret compartment, then the things in the secret compartment should have been taken away by now.

Shen Ye's hands kept changing spells, stimulating the fire in the alchemy furnace to temper the liquid medicine.

——Let’s make the elixir!

The only thing to do now is to prove that I really just want to make pills!
In addition, he has already established an image of being arrogant.

If he could prove that he just wanted to use the best alchemy furnace, then he would be cleared of suspicion.

“Out of the oven!”

Shen Ye shouted.

The fire in the furnace suddenly went out, and several pills flew out and landed in Shen Ye's hands.

Upon closer inspection, these pills were pitch black in color, exuding a scorching smell and a slight medicinal fragrance.

An inferior tranquilizing pill.

"It seems that I need to practice my skills more."

He muttered to himself as he put all the pills into a gourd, then made a gesture with his hands and ignited the fire in the furnace again.

Another batch of materials was thrown into the furnace.

The whole morning passed.

Shen Ye finally exhausted his spiritual energy and had to sit cross-legged to rest for a while.

About an hour later.

After his condition recovered somewhat, he began to refine the elixir again.

——His swordsmanship has been exposed.

Since he has such strong swordsmanship, it proves that underneath his flashy appearance, he actually has a serious and enterprising heart.

Never do anything beyond this character setting.

Practice well and make the elixir well.

——Even if there is no enemy watching, this is what you should do!

Shen Ye finally let go of his concerns about the amorphous universe and no longer thought about opening the sealed door today, let alone entering the ruins again.

He put aside all distractions and devoted himself wholeheartedly to alchemy.

The day passed quickly.

the next day.

Day three.

…Day 5.

"Bang!"
The door of the alchemy room was kicked open.

The law enforcement monk came in and shouted, "You haven't been in or out for five days. Do you want to die?"

Shen Ye was resting on the futon, and said in confusion:
"It's been five days?"

"What else? By the way, have you eaten these days?" asked the law enforcement monk.

"There are fasting pills."

"It's not a good idea to eat that stuff continuously. You'd better go out and eat something to replenish your spiritual energy consumption."

At this point, the law enforcement monk stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Even if someone else completes the task on your behalf, you should at least show up and not completely let it go."

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, brother."

Shen Ye stood up and bowed in gratitude.

He went straight back to the cave.

After washing, changing clothes, and tidying up my appearance, I went out to the canteen.

Ordered some of the best dishes.

Not long after we sat down, Dao Zhengyi arrived.

"Brother, would you like to eat together?"

"Eat, I want to tell you something."

"please say."

"We can take on some multiplayer missions. I'll have a few brothers complete them and write your name on them. When the mission is completed, you can also get mission points."

"Will there be any problem?" Shen Ye asked.

"No, it's just a little slower because the points distributed to each person will be much less."

"That's okay." Shen Ye said.

"After the matter is done, you can just pay the spirit stones."

"That's it."

Dao Zhengyi saw that the matter was settled, and left in a hurry.

Shen Ye ate voraciously for a while and was finally full. He then went to buy a bunch of spiritual food that could be stored for a long time, and then leisurely left the canteen.

He returned to the Tianmen Alchemy Room again, closed the door, and continued to make the elixir.

Three more days passed.

The door of the alchemy room opened with a bang, and he rushed out, laughing with joy.

"Junior Brother Nangong, what's wrong with you?"

The law enforcement monk stepped forward and asked.

"Brother, please have a look." Shen Ye took out a few pills and handed them over.

When the law enforcement monk took a look, he saw that the pill in his hand was pure white, without any impurities, and exuded a faint medicinal fragrance.

"Mid-grade tranquilizing pill!" The law enforcement monk looked at Shen Ye in surprise.

In less than ten days, you can refine a mid-grade tranquilizing pill!
I have seen him with my own eyes go from knowing nothing to reaching his current level.

Could he be that genius disciple with extraordinary comprehension?

Shen Ye was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

I added more than 300 points of free attributes to my comprehension, and then practiced day and night.

If you don’t understand something, just ask the battle guidance master hidden in the ring.

I practiced this with all my strength for less than ten days.

There was actually a breakthrough in alchemy!

"I'm happy today, brother. These are all for you."

Shen Ye took out a few gourds filled with pills and handed them directly to the other party.

The law enforcement monk hesitated and said, "This... Junior Brother, you have to understand that even a low-grade tranquilizing pill can be sold for a few spirit stones."

"Money is a small matter. Happiness is the most important thing!" Shen Ye patted his shoulder generously and turned to enter the alchemy room.

Bang!
The door closes.

He started making elixirs again.

The law enforcement monk looked at the heavy gourd in his hand, and then at the closed door.

"Junior Brother Nangong is truly the best of the new generation."

He couldn't help but sigh.

After a slight hesitation, the law enforcement monk took out a communication talisman, muttered a few words silently, then released the talisman and flew away.

the other side.

The meeting hall.

A beam of fire flew down and was caught by the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder held the fire talisman in his hand and listened to a few words, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"What's the matter?"

Another elder asked.

“I never thought that Nangong Wantu, who stuffed money in, could actually refine mid-grade pills.” said the Supreme Elder.

"Didn't he let others do the task of exorcising demons for him?" an elder said disdainfully.

"Also, the tasks without fixed levels are done by other people for him, and he just pays them." Another elder said.

The elder who received the fire talisman earlier defended himself:

"That's why he can concentrate on refining pills, and now he has broken through to the level of an intermediate alchemist."

Everyone fell silent.

Yes.

Being able to improve alchemy skills in such a short time has already proved the talent of this disciple!
On the high platform.

The Holy Lord's voice suddenly sounded:
"How is the sect's reserve of high-level elixirs?"

Several elders immediately stopped chatting.

"Master, as the war progresses, most of the supplies have been used up and the inventory is running low." An elder reported.

“Well, go tell Nangong Wantu that the sect wants to requisition the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Alchemy Furnace to refine high-grade elixirs.” said the Saint.

Several elders looked at each other.

An elder said:

"This... He has rented it for a few months. If he wants to take it away temporarily, will he--"

"Just say that's what I meant," the Holy Lord said coldly, "As compensation, he can make one request."

"Yes!"

……

A fire talisman stopped in front of Shen Ye.

The sect’s order has arrived.

He read it silently, with countless thoughts running through his mind.

The alchemy furnace is not for my use anymore.

In this way, the speculation was further confirmed.

——I guess the other party discovered that so many days had passed and I hadn’t even touched the secret compartment.

The temptation has lost its meaning.

As for making a request——

It seems that the Saint Master wants to know what the purpose of my sect’s points is.

If I think about it carefully, my purpose is not a big deal.

Just say it directly!

He was about to tell the fire talisman about the technique, but suddenly his mind moved and his words changed:

"Since I can't use the best alchemy furnace in the short term, I have no interest in refining the elixir anymore."

"I'm going to the library to pick out a technique."

“——It must be the best technique!”

"Even if you let me make up some money, it's fine - it doesn't matter how much money you give me, the technique must be the best and strongest in the entire sect."

"Disciple Nangong Wantu bows his head."

After saying that, he released the fire talisman and flew away.

The fire talisman flew across the sky, quickly flew to the highest peak, and landed in the meeting hall.

The elder lit the fire talisman.

Shen Ye's voice slowly sounded in the hall.

"This brat, who looks so rich and powerful, wants the best martial arts? It's really annoying!"

A supreme elder cursed.

"That's right," another great elder sneered, "The library has many techniques, all with different classifications and uses. How can there be such a thing as the 'strongest technique'?"

The elder sneered: "Don't you understand yet? This kid doesn't understand anything and only wants the best."

Everyone thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

In order to pass the trial of the ruins, he took out money to bribe everyone.

In order to mend the relationship with Chu Manshu, he took out the highest-level Tianzi token of Tianxian Tower.

In order to make the elixir, I directly rented the best Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams alchemy furnace.

Now I need the most powerful technique.

Rich! That's it! So willful!
But since they are young, it is understandable.

If a practitioner does not strive to be the best in everything, there is no need for him to practice Taoism.

On the high platform.

The voice of the headmaster Shengzun finally gained some warmth:
"This unlearned fellow."

"I gave him a copy of the Supreme Forgetfulness Yuhua Feisheng Sutra before, but he couldn't even understand it and begged others to exchange it for a simpler technique. Now he dares to come to me and ask for the best technique?"

All the elders laughed.

The Holy Master continued:
"Go tell him that there is no such thing as the best method."

"We don't care about that. Whatever technique he wants, he has to choose it himself!"
