Chapter 180: Heavenly Azure Spirit Marrow!

"Invited by the Sect Master?!"

Jiang Ye was slightly stunned, his brows lifting involuntarily.

He had expected that this battle would alarm many people, but he hadn't expected the Sect Master's summons to come this quickly.

Liu Qingyu and Sun Lin both flashed a hint of deep meaning in their eyes.

The Sect Master lived deep in the Heavenly Azure Hall all year round and rarely asked about ordinary friction between the peaks.

Today, this sparring match had just settled, and Zhou Yufeng had already arrived in the arena; either the Sect Master's ears and eyes were more well-informed than they imagined, or the Sect Master had been in some place they couldn't see from beginning to end, taking in this duel.

Liu Qingyu raised those star-like eyes, looked thoughtfully at the direction of the canopy of the ancient tree not far away, then withdrew her gaze, saying nothing.

Lu Xiao, after a brief stun, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If the Sect Master summoned him, then he and Jiang Ye wouldn't be able to fight...

However, his face still maintained that cold and hard posture.

Jiang Ye turned to look at Zhou Yufeng, nodding slightly: "Elder Zhou, wait a moment, I will go explain a few words and then come."

Zhou Yufeng nodded and smiled, not speaking, only making a gesture of "please."

Immediately after, Jiang Ye walked toward Elder Wang not far away.

Jiang Ye walked through the gravel and scorched marks all over the martial arts arena, walking toward Elder Wang not far away.

Elder Wang greeted him from afar, his footsteps carrying a hint of irrepressible lightness amidst the hurry.

That face, which was usually mature and cautious, was now full of irrepressible excitement; seeing Jiang Ye, he couldn't help but greet him two steps further, his bowing posture deeper than any other time in the past, and the respect in his tone was already the same as when facing Luo Song:

"Elder Jiang! Your battle just now truly raised the prestige of our Tianyangfeng!"

Jiang Ye smiled calmly and faintly, not taking this topic, only explaining in an ordinary tone:

"Elder Wang, I am going to see the Sect Master."

"Trouble you to go to the Affairs Hall and collect our Tianyangfeng's elixir share."

"Remember, carve up half of Earth Peak's elixir share to our Tianyangfeng."

Elder Wang raised his head suddenly, a look of irrepressible ecstasy erupting in his eyes.

Carve up half of Earth Peak's elixir share to Tianyangfeng???

This means Tianyangfeng's elders and disciples will all be satisfied.

Their cultivation resources will directly increase by a large chunk.

He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and bowed deeply with seriousness: "Yes, Elder Jiang! I will handle the matter well!"

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, not saying more, turning to return to Zhou Yufeng's side.

The two walked side by side through the crowd that had not yet dispersed on the martial arts arena, walking up along the stone steps toward Juding Peak.

The outer sect disciples' gazes followed that thin back, awe and excitement intertwined, until that gray speck disappeared at the end of the stone steps before they were willing to withdraw.

The three Peak Masters did not linger on the martial arts arena for long either.

Sun Lin stroked his beard, looked meaningfully at the direction Jiang Ye had left, shook his head with a smile, not knowing what he was laughing at, and turned to drift toward Green Wood Peak.

Lu Xiao was gloomy, turning into a golden sword light and breaking through the air without saying a word.

Liu Qingyu fell to the last, looking down at the scorched deep pit on the ground that still had residual warmth before leaving, recalling the scene just now, her full chest trembling with a few arcs again.

Then she tapped her feet lightly, sweeping toward Profound Water Peak like a breeze and fine rain.

After they all left, this square, which had been forcibly suppressed for a long time, finally exploded like a firecracker that had been lit.

The scolding of the teaching deacons was drowned out in the deafening discussion, and no one cared about maintaining order anymore.

Without a doubt, the news of Jiang Ye and Zhao Jing's battle would instantly sweep through the entire Profound Heaven Sect and even the Prefecture City like huge waves.

Juding Peak, Heavenly Azure Hall.

This ancient hall was the second time Jiang Ye had stepped into it.

The last time was also because of fighting with Zhao Jing...

"Elder Jiang, Master is inside, I will withdraw first."

Zhou Yufeng led him to the hall door and stopped, a polite and restrained smile hanging on that proper face, bowing his hands and turning to leave, his footsteps light, clearly having other things to be busy with.

"Trouble you, Elder Zhou."

Jiang Ye watched him walk far away, then withdrew his gaze, straightened his robes, and stepped into the hall at an unhurried pace.

Inside the hall, candles were bright, two rows of giant honey-wax candles as thick as a child's arm plating the objects in the room with a layer of warm yellow halo.

On the huge stone chair in the center, the Sect Master sat, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing long and light, as if he had merged with the heavy candle shadows in the hall, nourishing his Qi and adjusting his breath.

Jiang Ye walked to the front and stood, bowing slightly, his posture respectful but not humble: "Greetings, Sect Master."

The next instant.

The Sect Master slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes with restrained essence landed on Jiang Ye, without scrutiny, without pressure, only a faint, peaceful color.

His voice was slightly ethereal, echoing lightly in the empty hall:

"Speaking of which, this is our second meeting."

He paused, a very faint smile floating on the corners of his mouth, also carrying a few points of playfulness.

"Actually, I have heard your name mentioned by Elder Zhong several times."

"Today I discovered that Elder Zhong's eye for talent is still as sharp as ever."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye was stunned, a look of shock flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Elder Zhong?

It was one thing for Luo Song to call him Elder Zhong.

But even the Sect Master called him Elder Zhong...

Is this sharp-tongued old man who guards the Hidden Merit Pavilion of such high seniority.

The Sect Master saw the shock in Jiang Ye's eyes, not giving much explanation, only standing up at an unhurried pace.

His movements looked relaxed, but just one step out, his whole person had already moved from in front of the stone chair to in front of Jiang Ye like a breeze.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his tone calm:

"Since you have already broken through to the Divine Qi Realm, and Luo Song has also let you serve as acting Liu Fengzhu."

"Then you should be rewarded."

Saying this, he waved his hand, and a jade box the size of a palm appeared out of thin air in his palm.

Before the box lid was opened, a pure, near-viscous fragrance had already penetrated the jade wall and permeated.

That fragrance was of the same origin as the Heavenly Azure Spirit Liquid, but more concentrated and purer, just inhaling a wisp made one's spirit platform clear.

Jiang Ye's gaze landed on that jade box, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Through the semi-transparent jade wall, one could vaguely see a small mass of emerald-green viscous object placed in the box, the color several times deeper than the Heavenly Azure Spirit Liquid, glowing with a warm, jade-like luster under the candlelight.

"Heavenly Azure Spirit Liquid?!"

No.

The Heavenly Azure Spirit Liquid was not this viscous, nor did it have this kind of restrained spiritual energy fluctuation.

He could even smell a hint of spiritual energy similar to the Heavenly Spirit Fruit inside this jade box.

The Sect Master seemed to see Jiang Ye's confusion, handing the jade box forward, smiling faintly:

"This is Heavenly Azure Spirit Marrow..."

"The Heavenly Azure Spirit Liquid you collected before was soaked using this."

"The Heavenly Azure Spirit Marrow in this jade box can soak out hundreds of drops of Heavenly Azure Spirit Liquid."

"I don't need to say much about the effect."

Hearing this, a look of irrepressible joy flashed in the depths of Jiang Ye's eyes.

This bit of Spirit Marrow was worth hundreds of drops of Heavenly Azure Spirit Liquid...

His "Great Sun Flame Eye Refining Technique" had been stuck at the entry bottleneck for a long time, failing to break through to small success.

The biggest constraint was that there wasn't enough Heavenly Azure Spirit Liquid...

One must know, this secret technique had provided Jiang Ye with many assists.

Just entering it could allow him to possess dynamic vision far exceeding martial artists of the same rank.

It could also allow him to possess the ability to 'verify tokens'...

If he broke through again, he didn't know what changes there would be.

Now that he had this Heavenly Azure Spirit Marrow, breaking through to small success...

With the foundation he had accumulated before, he was afraid it wouldn't even take half a day.

He didn't hesitate anymore, immediately taking the jade box from the old man's hand, saying in a deep voice: "Thank you, Sect Master!" ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
