As soon as he said this, the people outside the Heavenly Mystery Palace immediately moved closer to the location of the blue flame, as if they wanted to put their faces closer to it.
He saw the Bedevilment Pill in Ye Feng’s hand emit a strong sense of coldness. Just looking at it would make one’s soul tremble, not to mention actually taking it.
“This… “Ye Feng really did concoct an Bedevilment Pill.”
“Furthermore, he planned to feed it to himself.”
In everyone’s ears, this was like an expert alchemist taking out the arsenic that he had made for himself.
[That is simply hanging himself from an old star. You are courting death!]
Seeing this, some of Elder Zhao’s disciples sighed, “Others can’t wait to get away from the inner demons. Did Ye Feng’s brain get hit by a door? How could he be so unprepared to take the initiative to concoct the Bedevilment Pill. At first, I thought he was a little smart.”
After thinking for a while, Starlight said, “But, that might not be the case. Maybe Ye Feng intended to awaken his talent, so he took the risk.”
“Awakening Inherent skill.” Everyone smiled as they looked at each other. They never imagined that there would actually be people who would believe such foolish words.
In their eyes, the matter of talent was a way for the seniors of the Celestial Sect of Wonders to encourage their disciples.
Because how much time had passed? Did anyone really awaken it?
Even the true disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were too embarrassed to bring up the matter of awakening their innate talent. All they did was talk about comprehending the Dao.
“Starlight, do you think so highly of him? Is it because he is the brother of the newbie Ye Xueyi?”
Hearing the three words “Ye Xueyi”, Starlight’s expression clearly wavered for a moment. A complex expression flashed across her clear and cold eyes.
“It has nothing to do with that. I am just talking about the matter.” He raised his head as he spoke, gazing at the distant blue flame in the spiritual altar.
… ….
3rd level of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
Ye Feng’s expression was solemn and his eyes were like torches. He stared at the Bedevilment Pill in his hand without blinking. No one knew what he was thinking about.
“Ye Feng, since you’ve already refined this pill, when are you going to take it?”
Qing Xuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said while looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Things had already gotten to this point. No matter if she wanted to or not, she had to accept the fact that Ye Feng was going to consume this Bedevilment Pill.
Ye Feng came back to his senses and smiled, “Being bewitched at midnight is the best time, so actually, it’s only four hours away.”
“In the early hours of the morning …”
Qing Xuan’s expression changed slightly as she nodded. After which, she let out a sigh. “Unfortunately, before you fell to the inner demons, I had yet to comprehend the Dao.”
Ye Feng shook his head and smiled, “Who said that you can’t comprehend the Dao before me? When there is something I can still use you for, you have to work harder. You have to succeed in comprehending the Dao before tonight.”
Qing Xuan was shocked, “What do you mean? Could it be that in the short span of four hours, you plan to help me comprehend the Dao.”
“Of course,” Ye Feng smiled and nodded.
If he didn’t even have the confidence to comprehend the Dao, why would he bother pursuing the matter of talent?
A person’s goal was always tied to his own confidence.
“If you set a high point, you would be blind. If you set a low point, you would be wasting your time.”
“This… “Are you serious?” Qing Xuan was stunned. Rather than being surprised, a look of ecstasy appeared on her face.
“Seriously, do I, Ye Feng, look like someone who would lie?”
“This… “I don’t think so.” Qing Xuan shook her head in excitement.
This was her first time seeing Ye Feng, so she naturally believed his words.
Ye Feng paced back and forth slowly, and smiled, “Think about it carefully. In these two days, the spirit beast that you and I gave me has been spending time with you day and night. I’m sure you know a lot about martial spirits.”
“Well, more or less …” Qing Xuan’s concept of comprehending the Dao had indeed gradually become clear, as if she was just a tiny bit away from it. However, this tiny bit had confused her until now.
Moreover, when she thought of the “Spiritual Qi monster”, she felt that it was a bit strange.
She still couldn’t figure out how a Qi Condensation student could possess such a magical creature.
“Oh right, I remember that you said that this Spiritual Qi monster only looks like a Martial Spirit. Will it really be useful when that time comes?”
Ye Feng smiled, “Of course it’s useful. You don’t have to worry about this. Then, give me back that spirit beast first.”
“Oh, oh, okay.” Qing Xuan nodded her head deeply.
The spirit energy on Ye Feng’s arm was drawn back, and the blood veins on his arms began to shine again.
Suddenly, as the blood veins closed, a voice entered his mind.
“Ye Feng, you actually gave me to this woman for two whole days. I’m so angry.”
The moment Gui Ying returned, endless curses resounded in his mind. It was obvious that he had been sulking for a long time and was about to suffocate.
During these two days, Ye Feng estimated that it was almost at the limit of what Spiritshadow could endure. This was one of the reasons he had come to find Qing Xuan today.
After a long while, he chuckled, and his thoughts rose from the bottom of his heart.
In addition, he also blocked out the voices in his heart. No matter how much that ghostly shadow cursed at him, he could not hear it.
He straightened his expression and gradually became serious. He continued, “In fact, your preparations are more than enough. You are missing an opportunity to trigger your enlightenment.”
“… “Then what should we do?” Qing Xuan’s heart trembled. Unknowingly, she had already completely fallen into Ye Feng’s rhythm and was waiting for him to make a decision.
Ye Feng smiled calmly and pointed to a fiery warhorse in the distance.
Qing Xuan was stunned. “What, what do you want me to do? Don’t tell me I have to kill this horse?”
“Since the first reaction in your heart is to kill, then do as you have said. The fastest way to comprehend the Dao is to follow your own ‘Dao’ as soon as possible …”
Qing Xuan looked at him doubtfully. “But, I heard from you that you can use your choice to decide which path you wish to comprehend.”
Seeing that Ye Zichen only smiled at her and did not say a word, she thought for a moment. After thinking about it for a moment, she suddenly realized what was going on and her expression changed slightly.
“Oh, I understand. You told me before to choose the ‘Dao’ that I want, in order to stall for time and inhibit the formation of Dao intent in my body, so that I can wait until you finish refining this Bedevilment Pill, right?” Qing Xuan pouted and said unhappily.
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, but did not comment. He merely laughed loudly,
But soon, his eyes turned serious.
“I am indeed delaying your enlightenment speed, but let me ask you, Qing Xuan, on the level of martial spirits, what is the ‘Dao’ you want to awaken?”
“I …” Qing Xuan pondered for a moment, not knowing how to answer him. Because this was a question that she had yet to carefully consider …
“So, you should understand, although I was stalling for two days for myself, you didn’t use those two days to think this through. And don’t forget, without the spirit beast I gave you, you can’t have any insights into the martial soul.”
The moment these words left her mouth, Qing Xuan was left speechless. She didn’t know how to reply for a long time, and when she thought about how Ye Feng had given her the chance to comprehend the dao, which was a must, she started to feel a little guilty about accusing Ye Feng.
Ye Feng paused for a moment and continued, “Alright, let’s hurry up. Four hours is neither long nor short, we must catch up on the road to enlightenment, so, hurry up and kill those fierce beasts for me. As for me, I need to gather my energy and prepare myself for battle.”
“Alright, I understand.” After being lectured by Ye Feng in this way, Qing Xuan’s original feelings of resentment were finally gone.
She was truly convinced by Ye Feng.
“Then according to your words, I’ll go kill the first Fiery Horse.”
A killing intent flashed through Qing Xuan’s cold eyes as she leapt forward to bully him …
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed, she returned with a bit of fire energy emanating from her body.
Ye Feng frowned and asked, “Where is the crystal core?”
Qing Xuan was stunned. “What do you want that for?”
“I still want to ask you, why do you need a horse? When the time comes, do you want to be hung in the sect as a souvenir?” Ye Ci glared at Ye Ci.
“This …” Within her expression, she looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression.
Isn’t that a symbol of honor?
But soon, she stuck out her tongue and turned around. After walking a few more steps, she dug out a crystal core from the dead body of the war horse and handed it to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction and continued, “Very good. The second beast, the Wind Tanuki by the Spring Stream.”
Moments later, Qing Xuan neatly brought the beaver core over.
At the same time, her eyebrows slightly furrowed because according to what Ye Feng said, she would follow her own ‘dao’. However, it didn’t seem like killing these two beasts would help Wu Dao much.
Ye Wen smiled as he received the core of the fox, then he pointed at a distant tomb bear.
This time, he didn’t have to worry about anything and directly spat out two words, “Go.”
“You … “Alright.” Qing Xuan pursed her lips and gritted her teeth. In order to comprehend the Dao as soon as possible, she decided to obediently go.
… ….
Again and again, and again and again, until seven crystal cores were placed in front of Ye Feng.
Qing Xuan was finally unable to restrain herself, “Ye Feng, what is going on? I did as you told me. It has already been more than two hours, yet there is still no sign of enlightenment.”
With a smile, Ye Zichen threw the seventh crystal core into his storage ring, then turned around and looked at her seriously …
“Then come over here.”
“So what if I do? I’m afraid you won’t succeed.” Qing Xuan was surprised upon hearing this, but soon after she angrily walked up, her beautiful face was filled with a wave of anger.
All of a sudden, she was heavily tapped on the forehead by Ye Feng.
