Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 390: Destroying Someone’s Financial Resources Is Like Killing Their Parents

In the ruins.

The invisible demon began to rest.

Like Shen Ye, it also got a chance to "pull together" the attributes, and then its Dharma Realm strength was increased by one level.

The Invisible Demon's strength is one third of Shen Ye's.

So when it improves, Shen Ye's attributes will also start to rise.

——All attributes increased by 10 points.

This is a good harvest!

"Would you like to continue the challenge in an hour? Or should we leave for now and come back next time?"

the bust asked.

Shen Ye couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Group Pet" can be used three times a day.

For the Invisible Heavenly Demon, today's share of "嘤嘤嘤" has been used up.

but--

In fact, when it comes down to it, the battle is still carried out by oneself.

If there was no "嘤嘤嘤", would I be unable to complete the trial?
That can't be done.

"The only problem is, why don't I have options—"

"I remember that the trial had a lot of content options."

The invisible demon typed out a line of small glowing words.

The bust saw this and responded:

"Because I can't sense your presence at all, and I can't judge anything about you. I can only arrange it according to the most basic trial."

"This also has an advantage—"

"Simple!"

"You just have to fight and win."

Shen Ye accepted this statement.

Then let the Invisible Demon rest for a while, and then continue to challenge the trial!

This is much faster than practicing through meditation!
In the library.

Shen Ye withdrew his attention and looked around.

A monk came towards him.

But it is justice.

"Senior Brother." Shen Ye bowed.

"Your name has been added to each task team. Currently, most of the tasks have been completed, and your score has reached five points." Dao Zhengyi said.

Shen Ye was overjoyed and asked quickly, "How many spirit stones are there in total? Tell me the number, Senior Brother."

"Including my labor fee, the total is 8,750 spirit stones." Dao Zhengyi said.

"Thank you very much for your help, Senior Brother. I have rounded up an integer here, please accept it."

Shen Ye handed over a storage bag.

There are nine thousand spirit stones inside.

Dao Zhengyi took the storage bag, scanned it with his mind, and a faint smile appeared on his cold face:

"Junior brother, you are too polite."

"No, it's just that senior brother is so kind, so of course I have to repay him." Shen Ye said.

"Brother, is there anything else you need help with?"

Dao Zhengyi asked.

Shen Ye thought for a moment.

now.

My points are enough.

Now we just need to find the technique to purify the bloodline!

Kung Fu...

Even the law enforcement monks in the library didn't know where the technique was.

"Brother, there is indeed one thing."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Dao Zhengyi asked.

"I'm looking for a jade slip that contains a martial arts technique, but there are too many jade slips here, and the law enforcement monk also said that he has never seen that kind of martial arts technique." Shen Ye said.

"I know some senior brothers who used to help out in the library. Maybe they can find it." Dao Zhengyi said.

As the two were talking about this, two skeleton monsters suddenly walked out from the void fire nearby.

The monster stood quietly beside them, listening to the conversation.

"It's a technique related to blood," Shen Ye said as if no one was around, "It is said that the technique can purify blood."

"Purify the bloodline...Okay, I'll remember that. I'll arrange for someone to look for it right away. As for the labor fee this time..."

"Brother, just tell me the number."

"That depends on the search. If it's easy to find, we won't charge you more."

"In this case, I'll trouble you, Senior Brother."

"Okay, wait for my news."

Dao Zhengyi bowed slightly and hurried to arrange the matter.

Shen Ye relaxed.

Since there are dedicated people to do this, you don't have to waste time here.

He walked out of the library.

The two monsters quietly sank into the fire of nothingness and disappeared.

——Everything that just happened was monitored by the Supreme Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace, which means that the master, the Holy Lord, already knows what is happening here.

But so what?

I, Nangong Wantu, am originally a cosmic monster. Now I am looking for a technique to purify my bloodline. Isn’t this a legitimate thing to do?

Just let the Holy Lord know the whole story!
Shen Ye flew back to his cave, took off his coat, stretched and lay down on the bed.

——I’m really tired these past few days and really want to have a good sleep.

The Trial of the Invisible Devil...

Forget it.

The sky is big and the earth is big, sleeping is the biggest.

I've been so tired for so many days and am about to die of sudden death, and I still want to upgrade my small account?
sleep!

Shen Ye wrapped himself in the quilt and fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

Even though he was under the control of the Supreme Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace, he didn't care at all.

Only the Invisible Demon was called back and stood guard quietly by the side.

Time passes slowly.

I slept until the evening.

Shen Ye opened his eyes and woke up. He was stunned for a while before he remembered where he was.

"This sleep is so comfortable..."

He sat up from the bed and looked towards the room subconsciously.

The flame is silent.

Two soul demons stood in the fire of nothingness, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the door.

They stared at Shen Ye blankly.

"..." Shen Ye.

Then someone knocked on the door.

Shen Ye got up, put on his clothes, walked out and opened the door.

Chu Manshu stood outside and said with a smile:

"Junior brother, why do you look like you haven't woken up yet?"

Shen Ye also smiled and said, "I was busy refining pills for a few days. I just happened to sleep for a while today, and was discovered by Senior Sister."

"Last time you gave me the Tianxian Tower token, I thought about it and decided to prepare a return gift for you." Chu Manshu said.

"Senior sister, you are too polite. I should have been the one to apologize for that matter. You don't have to worry about it."

Shen Ye looked at Chu Manshu, his eyes falling on both sides behind her.

——Two soul demons followed behind her.

Not only that.

On the forest road in the distance, behind several disciples who were discussing the Dao, there was also a soul demon standing.

The Holy Master...

You have severe paranoia!

"Have you found a suitable Taoist partner?" Chu Manshu asked.

"Nope."

"——Hey, this is a little gift from me, I hope you won't refuse it."

Chu Manshu slapped his storage bag, took out a talisman, held it in both hands and presented it to Shen Ye.

"Senior sister, you are too polite. This is——"

"In two quarters of an hour, at Dimen Peak, young talents will gather together to discuss with the famous fairies of the sect. This is an invitation letter I got for you."

Shen Ye was stunned and took a look at the talisman.

On the talisman were written a few small characters in a flamboyant style:

"A small gathering to look for plum blossoms under the moon and discuss the Dao."

A blind date conference?

no--

Senior sister, why are you giving me this?
Seeing his confused look, Chu Manshu said angrily:

"Aren't you looking for a Taoist partner? This gathering is your chance to show off your talents. I managed to secure a spot with great difficulty."

Shen Ye came back to his senses and said quickly: "So Senior Sister still cares about me. I am very touched."

"But, this kind of party——"

"If you don't accept it, I'll be angry." Chu Manshu retorted.

Shen Ye also came to his senses at this time.

Also.

He kept saying that he wanted to find a Taoist partner, but he missed such a good opportunity.

The character will collapse.

"That's exactly what I wanted. Thank you, senior sister." Shen Ye took the talisman.

"That's good enough. I'm leaving now. Perform well tonight and try to find a Taoist partner that suits your taste."

"Yes, take care, Senior Sister."

Chu Manshu waved his hand and turned away.

Shen Ye closed the door, returned to the courtyard, and threw the talisman into his storage bag.

Damn it.

The two soul demons at the door watched the entire conversation between him and Chu Manshu.

So I have to go tonight.

Forget it.

It's time to mess around.

Just go.

Shen Ye grilled a few skewers of spicy fasting meat and ate them with mountain spring water. Then he washed up and changed his clothes.

The time is almost up.

He then left the cave and flew towards Dimen Peak.

——The two soul demons actually followed.

Forget it.

It’s up to you.

Shen Ye landed halfway up the Dimen Peak. He didn't know how to find that place for a moment, so he took out the talisman and activated it with his spiritual power.

A soft female voice suddenly sounded from the talisman:

"Go 300 meters along the current path, then keep left, being careful to avoid side roads."

Shen Ye shrugged and walked forward.

The talisman emitted a faint light, suspended in the air, and followed him all the way.

Walked a distance.

The female voice sounded again from the talisman:
"Turn left and walk two hundred meters along the Plum Blossom Trail."

"When you see a cave with three lanterns lit, hold the talisman and walk forward to enter."

Shen Ye did as he was told.

The door of the cave was indeed opened.

When I walked in, I saw monks standing in groups of three or four in the courtyard.

The atmosphere is very relaxed.

When he walked in, the monks took a quick look, and then a woman with outstanding appearance came out and greeted him with a smile:
"This must be the Daoist Fellow Nangong who has become famous recently."

"I don't deserve it," Shen Ye waved his hands quickly, "I have been living in a muddleheaded way, and I don't know what everyone thinks of me. I am really ashamed."

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Nangong is already able to refine a mid-grade tranquilizing pill?" the woman asked.

It turned out to be this.

"Well, it's nothing. I feel that anyone can reach this level as long as they stay in the alchemy room and practice continuously for seven or eight days." Shen Ye said honestly.

The beautiful woman looked at him meaningfully, took a step back, and bowed earnestly:
"Dan Tai Ming Yue greets Fellow Daoist Nan Gong. It is a great honor to be able to sit and discuss Dao with you today."

The people around also had an idea in their minds.

The alchemy furnace is a Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams furnace.

The materials were stuffed into the furnace as if they were free.

All the sect’s missions were sent back, and the Holy Lord could not send him to the front line.

——If this isn’t a young talent (tycoon), then what is it?
Shen Ye quickly returned the gift.

"It turns out to be Senior Sister Tan Tai. Junior brother is honored."

At this time, a female cultivator in the field clapped her hands and said loudly: "Everyone is here, please follow me, today's discussion is about to begin."

Tan Tai Ming Yue gave Shen Ye a look, indicating that he should follow her.

The crowd walked along the secluded path in the cave towards a cave.

After walking only a few hundred meters, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

Deep in this quiet cave, there are clusters of peach blossoms in full bloom.

There is a small pavilion in the center surrounded by peach blossoms.

This cave is hollow. Sitting in the pavilion and looking up, you can see the blue-black sky above the thousand-meter-high cliff.

The male and female monks sniffed the faint fragrance of the flowers, climbed up to the pavilion, and sat on the left and right.

The leading female cultivator stood in the middle of the pavilion, took out a bunch of peach blossoms, and said:

"Fifteen petals, three of which are blank, and the other twelve have titles each."

"Those of you who have drawn blank petals can take a rest."

"Fellow Daoists who have drawn the topic, please stand up and share your thoughts with everyone."

"Do you have any objections?"

No one said anything.

"Very good. I will use the art of blowing willows with wind to make the peach blossoms scatter randomly. You can only catch the petal closest to you."

After the female cultivator finished speaking, she raised her hand.

Peach blossoms are scattered all over the sky.

A strong wind blew, and the petals suddenly danced wildly, spinning and flying towards the crowd.

Shen Ye took a closer look.

But a peach blossom flew towards him, with small words written all over it.

He was about to reach out to take it, but something unexpected happened -

A soul demon emerged from the ground and opened its mouth to blew at the peach blossoms.

The petals were blown like this and immediately changed direction, flying towards a male monk opposite.

The male cultivator couldn't see the soul demon at all and just reached out to catch the petals.

Another soul demon jumped out, puffed up its cheeks, and blew another peach blossom towards Shen Ye.

Shen Ye pretended not to know and reached out to take the petals.

——This petal is blank.

In other words, I got a bye.

strangeness.

Soul demons generally don't interfere in anything.

Why give yourself a blank peach blossom?

The male monk beside Shen Ye suddenly stood up, holding a peach blossom and said:

"My question is about the method of forging weapons. It happens that I have some experience in this area, so I will share some with you today. I hope you will give me some advice." The male monk began to speak loudly.

But soon, a petite and delicate female cultivator interrupted him and asked a more difficult question.

The male cultivator gave an answer after a brief thought.

The female cultivator covered her mouth and smiled, then stretched out her hand and a talisman flew in front of the male cultivator.

"This is my communication talisman. If you don't mind, I hope you can accept it so that we can keep in touch in the future." The female cultivator said.

"Okay, okay." The male cultivator blushed, took the communication talisman, and continued speaking.

Shen Ye noticed something.

There are fifteen people, twelve of whom want to discuss the Tao.

By the time all twelve had finished speaking, it was already very late.

It’s hard to say whether there will be a second round.

If you get a blank petal, you will get a bye.

There is no opportunity to perform.

Naturally, it is not easy to be noticed by female cultivators.

The soul demon does this—

Could it be that he doesn't want to be favored by the female cultivators?

Shen Ye was a little bit dumbfounded.

Does the Saint Master want to use this method to keep himself in the sect and continue to contribute money to the sect?
Cheap or not?

...Forget it, finding a Taoist partner is just a cover.

By doing this, the Saint actually played into his own hands.

Shen Ye squinted his eyes, sat there, and listened quietly to the practitioners' teachings.

Those topics covered various aspects such as talismans, elixirs, refining equipment, formations, close combat, five elements magic, entries, and Dharma images.

Everyone’s explanations were quite informative.

As Shen Ye listened, he actually gained something.

——After all, those who can participate in tonight’s discussion are the best among the younger generation.

He was listening to a female cultivator talking about the art of the five elements when he suddenly saw Tan Tai Ming Yue stand up and say with a smile:

"I have prepared elixirs, exotic fruits, and fine wines for everyone tonight. I would like to ask the three Taoist friends who have a bye to help me and go and serve them over."

Shen Ye stood up with the other two and followed her out of the pavilion.

Several people came to a cave.

Tan Tai Ming Yue skillfully opened the gourds one by one, took out various elixirs and spiritual fruits, filled two large plates, and added a few jugs of wine, which she asked the two men to take back.

At this time, only she and Shen Ye were left.

——Of course, there were four soul demons surrounding the two of them with a fierce look in their eyes.

Tan Tai Ming Yue finally spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, I will not hide it from you. I urgently need a large number of top-grade tranquilizing pills. I wonder if you can lend a hand?"

"I've already said it just now. I can only refine medium-grade tranquilizing pills." Shen Ye said.

Tan Tai Ming Yue raised her hand, and a jade slip appeared in her hand.

She said loudly:
"This is the method for refining the top-grade tranquilizing pill. It is extremely precious. Unfortunately, I am not born to be a pill refiner. I have failed my family's expectations."

"If you can really refine a furnace of medium-grade tranquilizing pills, I will give you this method as a gift."

Shen Ye stared at the other person in a daze.

Putting energy into refining the elixir is just a stopgap measure for myself.

but.

The top-grade tranquilizing pills were no longer in stock even within the sect.

This elixir can heal injuries to the soul and body at the same time, exorcise evil spirits and calm the soul. It is a high-level elixir and is indeed not easy to refine.

Learning to refine top-grade tranquilizing pills will not only greatly increase a cultivator's status, but also make his income very considerable.

So she took out the top-grade secret refining method -

Do you want to invest in yourself? Collaborate with yourself?

...that's okay too.

"I can indeed refine a mid-grade tranquilizing pill. I'll refine a batch for you to see later."

Shen Ye said.

"It's better to do it today than to wait for another day." Tan Tai Ming Yue said with a smile.

She slapped her storage bag.

I saw a small alchemy furnace quietly falling into the room.

Various materials for refining the tranquilizing pill fell on the table.

Everything is ready.

Shen Ye didn't care. He said "Okay", then he practiced his magic formula and ignited the fire refining array in the furnace.

"I'll just refine three or five, that way it'll be faster, how about that?" he asked.

"As long as the refining is successful." said Tan Tai Ming Yue.

"it is good."

If you just want to refine a small amount of mid-grade tranquilizing pills, the materials needed are not many and the time is not long.

Shen Ye skillfully controlled the alchemy furnace, put in the materials, and started refining step by step.

A quarter of an hour later.

Shen Ye's expression was solemn, and his hand gestures changed again.

The furnace emitted a roaring sound of wind and fire intertwining.

——The pill is about to be ready!
Just at this moment, the four soul demons who had been silently monitoring the two of them moved.

They suddenly walked forward, surrounded the furnace and observed it for a while, then stopped moving.

Shen Ye's heart skipped a beat.

The soul demon has always only monitored and never taken the initiative to do anything.
——What do they want to do?
Anyway, Dan is almost there.

Let’s make the elixir first.

"rise!"

Shen Ye shouted softly, and his hand gestures changed again.

The flames in the alchemy furnace became more and more intense.

However, at the same time, the four soul demons also stretched out their hands, pinched their fingers and cast spells.

All of a sudden.

The fire in the alchemy furnace suddenly went out.

Shen Ye's face changed.

At the most critical moment of making the elixir, they extinguished the fire in the furnace!

Damn it!

There was a loud "bang", and the alchemy furnace shook, followed by a series of explosive-like noises.

The furnace exploded!
Several pitch-black pills flew out and fell into Shen Ye's hands.

——This is a waste pill!
The last step was disturbed and all the pills were scrapped!
Shen Ye was furious, but his face showed a look of surprise, and he said in a lost voice:
"How can it be!"

——These soul demons do not allow themselves to refine medium-quality tranquilizing pills!

why?
Is he afraid that his relationship with Tan Tai Ming Yue will deepen and they will eventually become Taoist companions?
Or are you afraid that I will learn the secret method of refining top-grade tranquilizing pills?
As the saying goes, "It is better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage."

It's okay if you monitor me.

It doesn’t matter if you stop me from forming a Taoist partner with others.

But you actually stopped me from learning the secret method of refining top-grade elixirs!

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Tolerable or unbearable!
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Shen Ye's eyes, and he suddenly laughed:
"Senior Sister Tantai, I'm so sorry. I just made a mistake by mistake."

Tan Tai Ming Yue said calmly:

“Maybe Brother Nangong is not in good condition today. It’s okay. Let’s try again another day.”

After saying this, he waved his hand and collected the alchemy furnace and materials.
——The secret jade slip for refining top-grade tranquilizing pills was naturally put away by her again.

She took Shen Ye and got some spiritual fruits and fine wine, and returned to the pavilion together.

Shen Ye sat back in his original position.

At this time, there was a man in the field who was explaining the formation, and Shen Ye listened attentively.

——He seemed to quickly forget what had just happened.

Several soul demons are still following around.

The entire pavilion was monitored by the soul demons.

Shen Ye picked up a spiritual fruit and ate it while listening carefully to the monks' discussion.

However, in his dharma-

The four kings who were playing cards seemed to sense something. They put down their cards and walked behind the stone tablet.

The Earth Demon Beast was originally lying on the side taking a nap, but when it noticed the movement, it opened its eyes a little and observed the movements of the four kings.

next second.

Its eyes suddenly opened wide.

But the four kings reappeared from behind the stone tablet with their hands raised high.

They held up a small wooden boat, stood on tiptoe, and shouted slogans as they walked to the edge of the Dharma image.

"Wait a moment."

Shen Ye's voice suddenly sounded.

The four kings stopped, placed the wooden boat in the darkness outside the Dharma image, turned around together, and patted their chests with their hands.

——It means don’t worry, nothing will go wrong with us.

Shen Ye's voice sounded again:
"It's not that I don't trust my brothers, but I want to go big this time."

The four kings suddenly looked in one direction.

The void opens.

Some invisible presence is coming.

The Four Kings were originally unable to detect anything, but Shen Ye performed the "Meet Under the Moon at Yaotai" technique, which caused a slight movement in the Dharma Realm.

"You keep a place on the boat, and I'll come with you."

There was no emotion in Shen Ye's voice.

The four kings looked at each other, jumped onto the small wooden boat swiftly, squeezed to one side, and really made a seat vacant.

Suddenly, a line of glowing small words appeared in the void:
"set off!"

The four kings quickly took out their wooden oars and paddled in unison and quickly.

The small wooden boat drifted and soon moved away from the Dharma image and disappeared into the darkness.

The earth monster was stunned.

——Can we still play like this?

No.

Where did they go?

This is the Dharmakāya. What are they going to do after leaving the Dharmakāya?

……

The small wooden boat was rowing.

It lightly passed over one Dharma image after another and moved towards the huge place illuminated by the fire of nothingness.

Soon.

The wooden boat stopped.

The four kings all raised their heads and gazed into the distance.

I saw a huge palace floating in the Dharma Realm.

Around the palace, countless scarlet flames of nothingness were flying back and forth, patrolling around.

Another group of soul demons holding weapons flew out of the palace, sank into the void and disappeared.

One after another, dull roars came from the depths of the palace.

That's right.

This is the Holy Lord’s Supreme Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace!

When the four kings saw such a tight formation, they hesitated for a moment.

Shen Ye's voice suddenly rang in their ears:

"Don't come any closer. Move back a little and hide. Don't be discovered."

The four kings then paddled the boat a little further away, and then jumped into the Sea of ​​Dharma Realm, hiding their bodies beneath the water with only their heads showing.

Shen Ye's voice sounded again:
"Wait for me here."

On the small boat, the original invisible demon shook his body, flew high into the sky, and quickly approached the Supreme Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace.

Shen Ye controlled the invisible demon and carefully avoided the wandering flames.

He passed by a group of dazed soul demons again.

finally--

The invisible demon landed gently on the palace wall.

Look around.

The palace was filled with countless souls, all entangled, bound, and imprisoned by arcane runes.

The power of the souls of all living beings was gathered together and materialized out of thin air, transforming into magnificent palaces and high walls.

From this the fire of all nothingness is born.

The Invisible Heavenly Demon quietly observed the entire Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace.

…it feels familiar.

This Dharma image is achieved through practicing the Tai Shang Wang Qing Mei Hua Fei Sheng Sutra.

The Holy Master has been studying this sutra for countless years.

Observing the Dharma image closely at this moment, Shen Ye's understanding of the Tai Shang Wang Qing Yu Hua Fei Sheng Sutra has reached a new level.

however--

In the small pavilion.

He lowered his head, silently feeling the fluctuations of his own Dharma image.

In the fairyland's Dharma image, a faint will quietly emerged and took the initiative to communicate with Shen Ye.

No language required.

He already understood what this will was trying to express.

--anger.

Tongtianshu felt angry at this moment.

Although he had known for a long time that the three techniques were spiritual, at this moment, Shen Ye still felt extremely shocked.

A technique.

It is alive, has will, and has thoughts.

Simply incredible!

A clear realization emerged in Shen Ye's mind:
"Using the souls of all living beings as the source, driving the Supreme Divine Law to transform into a demon palace is a foolish and evil path that will never lead to heaven."

As the thought came into being, the will quietly disappeared.

Followed by.

Endless Taoist knowledge exploded in Shen Ye's mind, allowing him to see through all the mistakes and weak links of the Supreme Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace.

The magic of omniscience!
It descended into the Dharma Realm and personally taught the correct secret method of practicing the Tai Shang Wang Qing Mei Yu Hua Fei Sheng Dao Sutra, and refuted the Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace!

Shen Ye was extremely shocked.

This extremely mysterious technique has not been revealed to the world for such a long time that people believe that it is impossible to master the art.

but!

But it still exists!

——It has been passed down to this day and has never disappeared!

Dharma Realm.

The invisible demon shook his body and flew into the palace.

He walked and stopped, occasionally taking a detour, sometimes flying, sometimes lying on the ground, waiting for the scarlet rays of light to pass over his head.

The blazing flames of nothingness, the wandering soul demons, the hidden monsters, and all kinds of forces washing over the entire palace—

No one could find him.

It kept moving forward, as if it knew all the secrets of the Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace and could not be stopped at all.

A moment.

The Invisible Heavenly Demon was already standing in the inner hall of the Life-Binding Soul-Refining Palace.

It looked around and suddenly sensed something, so it quickly turned around and walked to a palace wall.

There was a mural on the palace wall.

A stunningly beautiful woman stood on the rocks beside the Blood River.

Her hands and feet were shackled, her face was full of sorrow, and she looked down at the endless wailing souls in the river of blood.

——Lord of Mount Penglai!
Shen Ye recognized her at a glance!

I didn't expect that she was imprisoned here.
