Chapter 181: Thunder Bamboo, Jiyin Island
In this cave, the person who is best at pleasing and serving Ye Changsheng is undoubtedly Yanli.
She is a very smart woman who knows her strengths and weaknesses.
Among the women around Ye Changsheng, she is undoubtedly the most insignificant one.
In terms of seniority, she could not compare with Senior Sister Chen and Xin Ruyin, who had followed Ye Changsheng from the very beginning.
In terms of helping Ye Changsheng, she could not compare with Xin Ruyin.
In terms of appearance, she cannot compare with Yuan Yao, and in terms of cultivation aptitude, she is also far inferior to Yuan Yao.
All these are her disadvantages, and she is very clear about them.
Therefore, in order to maintain her position in Ye Changsheng's heart, Yanli maximized her advantages.
Her advantage is that she is bold enough to meet all of Ye Changsheng's requirements.
There are some things that would make Senior Sister Chen, Xin Ruyin and others blush, but Yanli is willing to do them for Ye Changsheng.
Yanli knew very well that other women had the power to refuse, but she did not, so she would constantly cross her bottom line to please Ye Changsheng.
This indeed made Ye Changsheng look at her with admiration. Every time he practiced with the girls, he would always bring Yanli with him.
Let her be a role model, bring competitive pressure to the other girls, and make them constantly do things they were unwilling to do before to please Ye Changsheng.
Just like this time, if Yanli hadn't been present, Ye Changsheng would probably have to put in some effort to make Yuan Yao do this.
Now, under the competitive pressure from Yanli, Yuanyao has become very hardworking.
Trying hard to do something that made her blush and that she had found difficult to accept in the past.
But, she was only learning temporarily after all, how could she compare with the skills that Yanli had painstakingly studied?
In the end, Yuan Yao naturally lost to Yanli in this competition, so as a loser, Yuan Yao had to accept certain punishments.
This made her very unwilling, and she made up her mind to beat her senior sister next time.
So, in the competition between the two women, Ye Changsheng enjoyed the pleasure of being an emperor.
As time went by, with the help of the Blood Spirit Pill and the Phoenix Controlling Soul Devouring Technique, Ye Changsheng's practice of the Nine Aperture Star Yuan Technique became smoother and smoother.
It took him two and a half years to completely refine the Blood Spirit Pill that was made from a level seven demon beast.
During this period, in addition to Yanli and Yuanyao, Ye Changsheng would also let Senior Sister Chen and Xin Ruyin come in to help him practice.
With the rotation of the women, Ye Changsheng only took ten years to cultivate a star orifice.
In order to cultivate this star orifice, he consumed tens of thousands of spirit stones and copied three blood spirit pills.
This kind of pill contains almost all the essence, blood and demon core of a level seven demon beast. Eating one pill is equivalent to eating an entire level seven demon beast.
The energy contained in it is astonishingly huge, and all of this energy is used to temper his body.
It is not an idle statement that the Nine Apertures Star Yuan Gong technique consumes a massive amount of resources.
In the second decade, Ye Changsheng continued to practice the Nine Apertures Star Yuan Gong. After spending a large amount of spirit stones, he cultivated the third star orifice.
At this point, he only had 2.4 million spirit stones left. Of course, this was without taking into account the top-grade spirit stone.
Ye Changsheng continued to retreat, and it took him about fifteen years to successfully cultivate the second level of the Extreme God Seal, the Demon-Controlling Seal.
The spiritual awareness doubled directly, much stronger than before.
During this period, he continued to accompany Xin Ruyin, Yanli and Xiaomei out, and found some remote islands with decent spiritual energy to form pills.
At this point, the five women in his cave had all cultivated to the Jindan stage.
With Ye Changsheng's supply of elixirs, they all made rapid progress in their cultivation.
By the way, he also learned a technique of escape from Wen Tianren's storage bag: Blood Shadow Escape!
This is a kind of escape technique that burns essence and blood to gain a huge increase in speed in a short period of time.
After learning this escape technique, Ye Changsheng's shortcoming in speed was temporarily made up.
Other cultivators who practiced Blood Shadow Escape could not persist for too long, but he was different. After practicing Nine Aperture Star Yuan Gong, his body was filled with abundant essence and blood.
If you burn your blood and essence a few more times, you can definitely hold on!
"If we calculate the time now, it will take about 30 years before the Xutian Palace opens. I still have a lot of time to prepare before then!"
"The two blood jade spiders have also been trained to level 4 monsters. Judging from the situation in the original book, two level 4 blood jade spiders can easily pull out the Xutian Ding!"
"After the Void Sky Palace, the Chaos Star Sea became completely chaotic. In the original novel, the war that lasted for hundreds of years, between the Star Palace and the Anti-Star Alliance, and between the human race and the monsters, was extremely chaotic!"
"Before that, I must cultivate to a high enough level to deal with these things!"
"However, before continuing my retreat, there is something I still need to deal with!" Ye Changsheng murmured as he looked at the sound transmission note in his hand.
This was the sound transmission note sent by Zi Ling, informing him that the whereabouts of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo had been found.
Although he was in seclusion, Ye Changsheng did not completely cut off contact with the outside world.
He still maintains close communication with Miaoyin Sect.
Of course, this method of communication is still very special. Through a miniature teleportation formation, the Miaoyin Sect can transmit the sound transmission note directly to their side.
This is the result of Xin Ruyin's research on the ancient teleportation array.
A small teleportation array was set up near Miaoyin Gate in Tianxing City, and then a small teleportation array was also set up on this side of the array.
This teleportation array cannot teleport any living creatures. The only thing it can teleport are small things like the sound transmission note.
This is also for safety. In case something goes wrong with Miaoyin Sect, even if the other party has mastered the teleportation array, they will not be able to find this side.
Ye Changsheng was not worried that the other party would send out false information after mastering the teleportation array to trick him into an ambush.
Because with his current spiritual power, even if the other party has someone in ambush him, they will not be able to hide it from him.
Even in the late Nascent Soul stage, it can be discovered.
In fact, even if the Six Paths Supreme Saint knew that I was the one who killed Wen Tianren, it would be impossible for him to find me by controlling the Miaoyin Sect.
Because the entire Miaoyin Sect is now in Tianxing City, it is impossible for the Six Paths Supreme Saint to run to Tianxing City.
He even didn't dare to go near Tianxing City. If he went there, he might be discovered by the Tianxing Saint Couple and killed.
It is even less likely that the Twin Saints of Tianxing would ambush him.
Because the couple can only move around for one day, how can they ambush people with only one day?
Therefore, in Ye Changsheng's opinion, even if the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars discovered that Ling Yulin's memory had been tampered with by him and that she had obtained his information by removing this spell, they would be unable to do anything to him.
Since they themselves were unable to go out, they could only send out the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Star Palace.
The highest level of Xinggong's Nascent Soul is the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Even those in the late Nascent Soul stage couldn't ambush him, let alone those in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, Ye Changsheng was confident that even if he faced a middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he would have no problem escaping.
"What's more, judging from the information in the original book, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars have been in seclusion during this period of time, and the probability of them coming out to see Ling Yuling is very small!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
In fact, he has offended almost every force in the entire Chaos Star Sea, but he is still alive and well.
He killed a level seven poisonous dragon on the monster side, but fortunately no one knew about this, otherwise the Golden Dragon King would have hunted him down everywhere.
On the side of the Anti-Star Alliance, he offended the Six Paths Supreme Saint. Although the other party was a ruthless person, it did not mean that the other party did not want to kill him.
After all, there was a high probability that he had destroyed a top-quality corpse cultivated by Liudao.
The most difficult problem is Xinggong, although strictly speaking, he has no hostile relationship with Xinggong.
After all, what happened to Taoist Yuan Xing happened tens of thousands of years ago, and that bit of inheritance and grudges have no meaning at all to people today.
As for Ling Yulin, although she had modified her memory, it would not have much impact on her.
Moreover, after all, he saved Ling Yuling from Wen Tianren!
But Ye Changsheng also knew that the Twin Saints of Star Palace were not the kind of people who would care about these things.
In their eyes, the most important thing is to pass on a controllable Chaos Star Sea to their daughter, and everything else can be ignored.
In order to allow Ling Yuling to safely take charge of the Chaos Star Sea, the other party must be planning to eliminate this unstable factor like me.
Even if we don't get rid of it, we must control it.
Therefore, his situation in the Chaos Star Sea is now rather bad.
It’s a bit like Han Li’s situation after he seized the Xu Tian Ding in the original novel.
As for whether what he did would bring trouble to Miaoyin Sect, Ye Changsheng was not worried about it.
After all, he was just a guest elder of the Miaoyin Sect. Everyone in the world of immortal cultivation knew how empty the title of such a guest elder was.
Basically, it can be said that the identity of a guest elder is just a thug hired by a sect with money.
If something happens to this thug, the sect that hired him can easily pass the blame.
Even if they cannot get rid of it easily, after paying a certain price, no one will hold them responsible.
Just like in the original novel, Han Li also became a guest elder of the Miaoyin Sect, and the Miaoyin Sect also widely publicized his name, but after Han Li obtained the Xutian Ding, no one targeted the Miaoyin Sect.
At least Xinggong didn't.
It is because everyone knows that even if you attack this sect, it will be useless. It is impossible to use the sect as a threat to make that guest elder show up.
Most people in the world of immortal cultivation are still very realistic.
Therefore, Miaoyin Sect is probably still safe.
Of course, if the other party knew that I was still in contact with Miaoyin Sect, the situation might be different.
Fortunately, only Zhou Yuan and Zi Ling, mother and daughter, knew that Ye Changsheng maintained contact with Miaoyin Sect.
And I don't think the mother and daughter would be stupid enough to tell this matter to anyone.
Holding the sound transmission talisman, Ye Changsheng thought for a while and then walked out of the cave.
Decades ago, he asked Zi Ling and her daughter to help him find the whereabouts of Tianlei Bamboo, and now he finally got the news.
According to the information sent by Zi Ling, the Tianlei Bamboo is now in a small sect, existing as the other party's inheritance treasure.
Ye Changsheng concealed his appearance and body shape and flew to the location of the small sect provided by Zi Ling.
"The sky-high foggy sea, the Jiyin Island!" Ye Changsheng murmured softly as he looked at the map in his hand.
The address of the sect provided by Zi Ling is located on a small island on the edge of Tongtian Fog Sea.
Tongtian Mist Sea is also a well-known place in Chaos Star Sea.
This entire sea area is shrouded in thick fog, which carries a strong evil aura. It is difficult for ordinary people or creatures to survive in such a place.
In the entire sea of fog, there are only some yin-attributed monsters surviving. Apart from these monsters, there is only one island in the entire sea of fog.
That is Jiyin Island.
The dojo of the famous Ji Yin Patriarch in Chaos Star Sea!
"From the original story, the appearance of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo was deliberately designed by the Jiyin Patriarch and Wu Chou to involve the Miaoyin Sect!"
"Ancestor Ji Yin wants to get rid of his traitorous disciple and take back the fragment of the Void Sky Map that is occupied by the Hidden Evil Sect!"
"And Wu Chou had his eyes on Zi Ling, so he managed to sell the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to Miao Yin Sect!"
"So, the small sect that controls the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo mentioned in this intelligence is located on the edge of the Tongtian Mist Sea, which is most likely true!"
"It is very likely that the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo owned by this small sect actually originally belonged to the Ji Yin Patriarch and was released as bait!"
"After all, he is the only one in the entire Chaos Star Sea who possesses the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. He once used the small arrow made from the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to secretly attack his master, the old demon Xuan Gu!"
"So, that means that this time Zi Ling found out the whereabouts of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, and it can be basically confirmed that it was a trap!"
"This trap may have been designed specifically for me, or it may have been designed by Wu Chou specifically for Zi Ling!"
“If I sense the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator in that sect, then that would be a trap for me!”
"If there is no Nascent Soul cultivator, then this is most likely a trap for Zi Ling!"
"But it is most likely a trap for Zi Ling. After all, Wu Chou in the original novel basically started setting this trap for Zi Ling and Miao Yin Men at this time!"
Standing on the white jade flying boat, Ye Changsheng sped all the way. He had roughly realized the secret behind the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo!
There was a trap ahead, but he still flew towards the Tongtian Fog Sea.
Because, even if it is a trap, it depends on whether the person who sets the trap is strong enough.
With the strength of Jiyin Island, it is almost impossible to trick him using this method!
Ye Changsheng now has enough confidence in his own strength.
Ten days later, Ye Changsheng's figure appeared at the edge of the Tongtian Fog Sea.
He put away the white jade flying boat to prevent anyone from recognizing him through this magic weapon.
With his current spiritual power, after using the secret method to change his appearance, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator was in front of him, it would be difficult for him to see any clues.
The Yin Gui Sect is the small sect mentioned in Zi Ling’s note.
The most powerful cultivator in the sect is a fake dan supreme elder.
This sect is located on a small island at the edge of the Tongtian Mist Sea, which has only a very small spiritual vein.
When Ye Changsheng arrived here, he immediately sent out his spiritual consciousness to investigate the situation on the island.
After mastering the Demon-Controlling Seal, his spiritual awareness quadrupled, and the total amount was already greater than that of a late Nascent Soul cultivator, although the quality was still far behind.
However, this was enough to make a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage unable to hide from him.
"There is only one Jindan cultivator, um, it's Wu Chou. Is it true that he set a trap?" Ye Changsheng swept his spiritual sense and discovered the situation of all the cultivators on the island.
