Chapter 241: Three Overseas Immortals, Lord Aries
After coming out of the Nanhai Pavilion, Ye Changsheng was about to leave, but saw Bai Yaoyi suddenly catch up with him.
"What's this, Fairy Bai?" Ye Changsheng turned around and asked in confusion.
Bai Yaoyi walked up to him and smiled, and asked, "I saw that Brother Ye looked troubled after getting the information just now. It seems that what Brother Ye wants to do is a bit difficult!"
Seeing that Ye Changsheng did not show any displeasure on his face after he said this, Bai Yaoyi smiled even more and continued:
"Brother Ye, can you please tell me what you want to do? Maybe I can help you! Of course, if you think that things must be kept secret and it is inconvenient to say it out loud, then just pretend that I didn't ask this question!"
"What I am going to do is not secret at all, not to mention the information transaction with the Nanhai Pavilion. I never thought that the whole process would be completely secret as they said!" Ye Changsheng shook his head and said.
"Brother Ye is right. Fellow Taoists have always suspected that the Nanhai Gate has set up such an intelligence trading organization with the sole purpose of selling some secrets in exchange for the cultivation resources in the hands of fellow Taoists to help them become stronger!" Bai Yaoyi said softly.
"But Fairy Bai suddenly asked me this question. I'm afraid she didn't come to help me for nothing, right?" Ye Changsheng asked, changing the subject.
Bai Yaoyi smiled and said, "Brother Ye just helped me a lot. Isn't it okay for me to repay you a little?"
Ye Changsheng shook his head: "What happened just now was a transaction. We have already made it clear what the transaction is about. Now Fairy Bai comes over and says she wants to help me. Are all the cultivators in Xiaoji Palace so enthusiastic?"
"Okay, since Brother Ye asked so, I will be honest. I want to make another deal with Brother Ye!" Bai Yaoyi said.
"Is it a transaction related to the information the fairy just got?"
Bai Yaoyi nodded: "Yes, to show my sincerity, I will tell Brother Ye about my transaction information first. It's not a secret anyway!"
"I came here to get information about an eighth-level blue dragon. The inner elixir of this dragon will be of great benefit to my cultivation, so I want to kill this dragon active in the South China Sea!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng looked at her carefully and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the fairy should have just advanced to the middle stage not long ago, right?"
Bai Yaoyi smiled brightly upon hearing this and said, "Brother Ye is right. Five years ago, I was just an early-stage peak cultivator like Brother Ye!"
"After advancing to the middle stage, I realized that it is much more difficult to make further progress in this realm than in the early stage!"
“Brother Ye must also know how difficult it is for us Nascent Soul cultivators to advance. If there is no special opportunity, it will take at least one or two hundred years to push our magic power to the peak!”
"If I continue to sit here and practice for such a long time, my path to enlightenment will only stop at the middle stage!"
"So, after reaching the middle stage of Nascent Soul, I went out to travel in search of some opportunities that could help me improve my cultivation quickly!"
"And this blue dragon is exactly my chance. If I can capture it alive, with the help of the skills I have practiced, I can absorb most of the magic power from the blue dragon and save decades of hard work!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng's eyes lit up with enlightenment, and he said, "The dragon is a spiritual beast of heaven and earth. The strength of an eighth-level dragon is equivalent to that of a ninth-level demon beast, and is comparable to that of the fairy. I guess the fairy wants me to help capture this dragon?"
Bai Yaoyi smiled brightly upon hearing this and said:
"Brother Ye's guess is correct. That dragon has advanced to level eight for many years. With my strength having just entered the middle stage, I may not even be able to defeat it!"
"Moreover, that blue dragon is proficient in water escape techniques. If anything goes wrong, it will escape immediately. Fortunately, I have prepared a formation in advance that can trap the dragon. However, if I want to lure the transformed dragon into the formation, I need to make more preparations!"
"Fairy, do you want me and someone in the early Nascent Soul stage to be the ones to lure the enemy?" Ye Changsheng asked.
"If Brother Ye is willing to help, I am willing to reward you regardless of whether it is successful or not! What do you think, Brother Ye?" Bai Yaoyi asked, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
There was a thoughtful look in Ye Changsheng's eyes. Dealing with an eighth-level dragon was no problem for him.
However, what he needs to consider is how much benefit he can get from Bai Yaoyi.
If the other party could help him break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, then he would definitely be willing to help him.
Seeing that Ye Changsheng had no obvious intention of refusing, Bai Yaoyi was delighted and asked while the iron was hot:
"I have already told you everything. If you have nothing to hide, Brother Ye, why don't you tell me what information you are trading for?"
"If what Brother Ye wants to do is limited to the South China Sea, then with my connections in Xiaoji Palace, I might be able to help Brother Ye!"
"After all, the only great cultivator in the South Sea, True Lord Baiyang, has a very good relationship with the great elder of our Xiaoji Palace, Master Hanli!"
"In this land of the South Sea, as long as we can get the help of True Lord Baiyang, no matter what we do, it will be much easier!"
Bai Yaoyi's clear and pleasant voice made Ye Changsheng's eyes focus. He looked at Bai Yaoyi and said with a smile:
"What a coincidence! What Ye wants to do is really related to True Lord Baiyang!"
"Oh, so it seems that I can really help Brother Ye with what he wants!" Bai Yaoyi was surprised at first, then said with great joy.
Ye Changsheng pondered for a moment, and then did not hide anything and told her that he wanted to find the Bailing mermaid.
"A white spirit mermaid? True Lord Bai Yang actually raised an eighth-level white spirit mermaid. This is the first time I've heard of such a thing!" Bai Yaoyi was slightly stunned, and then said.
"I heard that this man has always been a loner. If I don't have a connection, it will be difficult for me to get the essence of the White Spirit Mermaid from his Aries Island!"
Bai Yaoyi chuckled when she heard this and said, "Under normal circumstances, if a Nascent Soul cultivator like Brother Ye who is not well-known goes to Aries Island to look for that True Lord, she will most likely ignore him."
"However, with my recommendation, I'm sure True Lord Baiyang will be happy to meet Brother Ye!"
She thought about it, and then said in a positive tone: "If Brother Ye just wants a drop of the heart blood of the eighth-level monster, this request is not too much!"
"If I come forward to mediate, I'm sure True Lord Baiyang will consider it!"
"However, taking the essence and blood will definitely cause great damage to the vitality of the White Spirit Mermaid. Brother Ye better prepare a reward that will attract the attention of that True Lord!"
"Of course I understand this!" Ye Changsheng nodded.
Bai Yaoyi smiled brightly, with a look of joy on her face, and said, "Then we have a deal. Brother Ye, help me capture that level eight blue dragon, and I will help you persuade True Lord Baiyang!"
…
More than a month later, on a deserted island deep in the South China Sea, Bai Yaoyi was so surprised when she saw Ye Changsheng flying towards her with a weak blue dragon as if he was carrying a dead snake.
Her original plan was to set up a formation on this island and let Ye Changsheng, an early Nascent Soul cultivator, lure the blue dragon over.
Generally speaking, a human cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage can never be a match for an eighth-level dragon.
Even a cultivator like Bai Yaoyi who has just entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul may not be able to defeat an eighth-level dragon.
Therefore, Bai Yaoyi's plan to lure the enemy still has some possibility of success.
But what she didn't expect was that the formation she had carefully prepared was not used at all.
She had been busy here for a long time, but after Ye Changsheng discovered the dragon, he did not act according to her plan at all.
He chased after it directly, and after a while, he flew over with the dragon in his hand.
The dragon was covered in wounds, obviously having been beaten half to death.
If Bai Yaoyi didn't need a living dragon, this blue dragon would have been skinned and ripped open by Ye Changsheng by now.
This scene really shocked Bai Yaoyi. Her cherry lips were slightly open and she couldn't close them for a long time.
"Brother Ye, you are really..." For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"In my opinion, the fairy's plan is too troublesome, so I acted on my own. I believe the fairy won't mind, right?" Ye Changsheng asked as he threw the blue dragon to the ground.
The blue dragon immediately revealed its true form, and its body, which was hundreds of feet long, slammed heavily to the ground, making a loud noise.
Bai Yaoyi gave a bitter smile when she heard that. How could she care, and how dare she care?
Looking at the miserable state of this dragon, one can tell that Ye Changsheng, who is in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, has a combat capability that is far superior to his own, who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
What kind of monster is this fellow Daoist Ye whom I met by chance?
Bai Yaoyi's heart was unsettled. She stared at the dragon on the ground for a long time, and kept looking at Ye Changsheng.
Finally, she barely suppressed her surprise and shock, and stepped forward to place various restrictions on the blue dragon, causing it to fall into a complete sleep.
Then, putting the blue dragon into a spirit beast bag, Bai Yaoyi looked at Ye Changsheng, smiled brightly, and said:
"In this way, Brother Ye has saved me a lot of effort. I have really taken advantage of it. Now I will take Brother Ye to Aries Island!"
"Let's go. I have been fascinated by Lord Aries for a long time!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
A moment later, the two turned into a beam of light and flew away, leaving the deserted island.
…
Aries Island is the most famous island in the South China Sea, because it is home to the South China Sea’s number one cultivator, Aries True Lord, who is revered as one of the three overseas immortals.
The island is shrouded in endless clouds and fog all year round. It is difficult to find its specific location without the guidance of someone familiar.
And if you do not get the approval of Aries True Lord, even if you find the location of the island, you will not be able to enter it.
Throughout the ages, countless people, whether they were independent cultivators overseas or elders of sects in the Great Jin Dynasty, had tried to visit this great cultivator.
But in the end, all were turned away.
This great monk has a solitary personality, which is well known in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
This time, under the leadership of Bai Yaoyi, Ye Changsheng traveled through the sea of fog for several days and finally saw the location of Aries Island.
Not long after Bai Yaoyi sent a sound transmission note in, a white light suddenly flew out from the island.
In the white light, there was a huge white goat, with two horns as sharp as heavenly swords.
The Aries looked at Ye Changsheng and Bai Yaoyi with humane eyes, and made a clear and pleasant voice:
"My two Taoist friends, my master invites you!"
"Let's go, Brother Ye, let's go meet True Lord Baiyang!" Bai Yaoyi said with a bright smile.
She turned into a silver light and followed behind Aries. Ye Changsheng nodded and turned into a green light and followed.
After entering
This island looks ordinary, with nothing special about it. Apart from the groups of white sheep everywhere on the island, it doesn't look like a place of practice for a great monk.
Even the spiritual veins on the island, in Ye Changsheng's perception, were not top-notch, at least not comparable to the Qiongying Island occupied by the Nanhai Gate.
"Master Baiyang is a solitary person. He occupies this island only because of its excellent hiding location, not because of the good spiritual veins on the island!" As if seeing the surprise in Ye Changsheng's heart, Bai Yaoyi said in a voice transmission.
"Bai girl, it has been hundreds of years since we last met, right?" An old voice sounded from the highest mountain on the island, so loud that it echoed throughout the entire island.
"It's been almost three hundred years. The last time I met you with Brother Hanli, I was just a small Jindan cultivator!" Bai Yaoyi responded with a respectful look on her face.
"How is Brother Hanli doing recently? I heard that he has been looking for a way to break through to the God Transformation stage. Has he found any clues yet?"
Bai Yaoyi shook her head and said, "I am not very clear about Senior Brother Hanli's affairs, but not long ago, Senior Brother tried to break through to the God Transformation Realm again, but ultimately failed. I don't know whether he has found a new method now!"
"Oh, is that so? That's a pity. He is about the same age as me. He doesn't have much time left, right?"
"If I remember correctly, Brother Hanli has more than a hundred years left to live. Alas, it seems that the two of us will never be able to break through this realm in this lifetime!" True Lord Baiyang sighed, full of desolation.
Bai Yaoyi had a respectful look on her face and said nothing.
This great monk in the clouds and mist was a true senior to her. Before she was born, he was already a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage.
After a while, the clouds on the mountain peak were disturbed, and suddenly Ye Changsheng felt a gaze falling on him.
The voice of True Lord Baiyang sounded, and he asked coldly: "Who is this Taoist friend, and what is he doing on my island?"
Before Ye Changsheng could speak, Bai Yaoyi took the lead and said, "Brother Ye is a good friend of mine. He wants to make a deal with you, Senior. I dare to introduce you to him. I hope you will forgive me!"
