Chapter 181: Fire eyes are pressing! Strength greatly increased!

Seeing Jiang Ye carefully tuck the jade box into his bosom, the Sect Master stood with his hands behind his back, stroking his long beard lightly, those eyes with restrained essence landing on him, his tone calm but carrying a hint of not-too-light, not-too-heavy entrustment:

"Luo Song's body, the old illness is hard to remove."

"In the future, this Tianyangfeng..."

"Needs you to put in more effort."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye felt a chill in his heart, responding with a serious expression: "Sect Master, rest assured, I will do my utmost!"

After finishing, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and after weighing it for a moment, he still asked the question that had been pressing in the bottom of his heart for a long time:

"Sect Master, is that Elder Zhong in seclusion recently..."

Regardless of whether it was guiding him to use Heavenly Azure Spirit Liquid to assist in cultivating the "Great Sun Flame Eye Refining Technique," or guiding him on the connection between killing Qi and the Seven Kill Sect.

This sharp-tongued old man had provided quite a bit of help.

Not seeing him for many days, he was truly a bit curious.

A hint of deep color that Jiang Ye couldn't identify for a moment flashed in the Sect Master's eyes, then he shook his head slightly: "It can be considered seclusion."

This answer was ambiguous.

Seclusion is seclusion, not there is not there, what is "considered"...

Seeing that the Sect Master was unwilling to say more, he immediately stopped the thought of pursuing it, not asking another half sentence.

The Sect Master waved his hand slightly, the serious entrustment from before having quietly converged, returning to that ethereal and indifferent appearance:

"You go back and get busy first, no need to delay here with me."

Jiang Ye responded, bowed slightly, and turned to exit the hall.

He stood on the stone steps outside the hall, facing the mountain wind hitting his face, touched the edges of the jade box in his bosom, looked toward the direction of Tianyangfeng, and stepped down the stone steps.

When Jiang Ye stepped onto the Tianyangfeng mountain road, he saw two figures standing at the entrance of the Herb Garden from afar.

It was Elder Wang and Elder Li.

As soon as the two heard the steady footsteps coming from the stone steps, they looked up at the same time, and then their eyes lit up in unison.

"Elder Jiang!!!"

Elder Li's exclamation exploded first, his figure even faster than Elder Wang's by three points, almost running to greet him while dragging his robe.

His usually steady old face was flushed red, his lips trembling several times before he could shout the words clearly:

"Elder Jiang's divine might! Elder Jiang's divine might!"

It was no wonder he was this flustered.

The news of Jiang Ye breaking through to the Divine Qi Realm and defeating Earth Peak Liu Fengzhu Zhao Jing at the outer sect martial arts arena had already spread throughout the entire Tianyangfeng.

For everyone in Tianyangfeng, the impact brought by this news was even greater than the shock of outsiders.

Outsiders were just watching the fun, but they were the real beneficiaries.

The vague suppression and unease since the Liu Fengzhu fell asleep were swept away at this moment.

Moreover, Jiang Ye had forcibly carved out half of the share from the Thick Earth Peak, causing the entire Tianyangfeng's cultivation resources to increase by a significant margin out of thin air.

Now, everyone in Tianyangfeng was convinced by this acting Liu Fengzhu, with no more doubts.

Elder Li was just about to express his inner excitement further, but Elder Wang had already stepped forward quickly, rudely inserting himself between him and Jiang Ye, coughing lightly, his tone carrying three parts helplessness and seven parts reproach:

"Old Li! You are too noisy!"

"Don't you know Elder Jiang likes quiet."

"What do you want with such a loud voice!"

Elder Li shut his mouth sheepishly, retreating half a step, but the look of reverence in his eyes didn't diminish by half.

Elder Wang then turned to Jiang Ye, bowing respectfully:

"Elder Jiang, I have collected all of Tianyangfeng's elixir shares from the Affairs Hall, and together with the half carved up from Earth Peak, they have all been counted and are temporarily stored in the Liu Fengzhu Hall's warehouse."

"Just waiting for your confirmation after looking over them, and then they can be distributed to the disciples according to the old rules."

He spoke with steady breath and clear logic, explaining the matter clearly in just a few sentences.

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

It wasn't the first day he knew Elder Wang acted meticulously.

From the time Luo Song was a hands-off Liu Fengzhu, these miscellaneous tasks of distributing elixirs and allocating resources were all handled by Elder Wang, and there had never been any mistakes.

He said faintly: "Mm, you arrange it as you see fit."

Elder Wang didn't dare to be slow in the slightest, responding in a deep voice with a serious expression: "Yes, Elder Jiang! I will go handle it right away!"

He turned and left, walking two steps before turning back, grabbing Elder Li, who was still standing in place with his lips twitching and wanting to say something but not knowing where to start, and dragging him toward the mountain road without any room for refusal.

Elder Li stumbled a few steps, his words that he had brewed for the whole way not yet finished, before being ruthlessly cut off by Elder Wang.

Watching the two figures go far away, Jiang Ye stepped into the Herb Garden at an unhurried pace.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he met two pairs of burning eyes.

Chen Lili and Lü Ming stood side by side in front of the wooden house, one bright and pretty, one round and sturdy, but the expressions on their faces were exactly the same.

That was a kind of near-pious reverence, like seeing a true god.

Chen Lili's fair, tender face was flushed red because of being too excited, spreading from her face to her ear roots, looking from afar like she was drunk, or like she had just finished running ten miles of mountain road in the scorching sun, bright and dripping, a bit dazzling.

It could even compare to a certain state of Xu Qinghuan.

Lü Ming was even more eager to slide and kneel in front of Jiang Ye, his voice trembling:

"Elder Jiang! My reverence for you is like the surging river, continuous and endless, and like the Yellow River flooding, out of control..."

Jiang Ye shook his head slightly, hurriedly stopping the two's flattery:

"Stop, stop. I want to go into a small seclusion for a while; if anyone comes, you just send them away."

After saying this, he didn't wait for the two to react, walking straight toward the depths of the Tiankui Herb Garden.

The jade box given by the Sect Master, still carrying the cool edges, was pressing against his chest in his lapel.

The only thing he wanted to do most at this moment was to break through the "Great Sun Flame Eye Refining Technique," which had been stuck for a long time, to small success in one go.

To see what changes the fire eyes would have.

"......"

Chen Lili had a belly full of words that she hadn't had time to say.

However, hearing Jiang Ye say he wanted to go into seclusion, she hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, her fingers pressing tightly against her rosy lips, afraid that if she said one more word, she would delay Elder Jiang's seclusion.

Until that thin and upright back disappeared at the corner of the herb garden path, she let go, the excitement she had held back for a long time pouring out like a floodgate opening:

"Is Elder Jiang a god reincarnated! How is he so powerful!"

Lü Ming on the side shook his head and wagged his tail: "Xu Xu Shijie, didn't I tell you long ago, Elder Jiang... is a god!!!"

Immediately after, the herb garden outside was the two's excited discussion.

Inside the Tiankui Herb Garden, Jiang Ye sat cross-legged in the center of the open space.

He took the jade box from his bosom, the moment he lifted the box lid a crack.

A pure, near-viscous fragrance drifted out from the crack.

Compared to the faint fragrance of the Heavenly Azure Spirit Liquid, the aura of this Spirit Marrow was so concentrated it was like crushing an entire field of morning dew-condensed green grass and kneading it into a ball and stuffing it into his nasal cavity.

"This thing... how to use it..."

Jiang Ye looked at this mass of emerald-green Heavenly Azure Spirit Marrow in the jade box, a look of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

He pondered for a moment, extending his index finger to dip a bit of Spirit Marrow.

The moment his fingertip touched that emerald-green viscous object, a sense of coolness seeped in along the skin of his fingertip.

He didn't hesitate anymore, wiping the Spirit Marrow on his fingertip toward his left eye lightly.

The moment the Spirit Marrow touched his eyeball.

"Ugh..."

His whole person stiffened violently, a low, muffled groan uncontrollably escaping his throat.

That wasn't pain.

It was a kind of bone-deep coldness, like someone had stuck an entire block of ten-thousand-year black ice directly onto the surface of his eyeball, the coldness penetrating the pupil and seeping straight toward the depths of his brain marrow.

He hurriedly dipped another bit of Spirit Marrow and wiped it on his right eye, the same ice-sealing coldness.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the instinctive trembling brought by that coldness, calming his heart and spirit, and mobilizing the red-gold Divine Qi pill in his dantian.

Great Sun Heavenly Flame Divine Qi slowly ascended along several special meridians, as scorching and heavy as magma, accurately pouring into his eyes.

Compared to the Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi from before, the eye-refining effect of the Great Sun Heavenly Flame Divine Qi was naturally stronger, and the scorching sensation was also more intense.

However, under the protection of the Heavenly Azure Spirit Marrow, his eyes only had a kind of gentle scorching sensation.

Neither hot nor cold, just right, as if they were gently supported by an invisible hand, allowing them to neither suffer the pain of Divine Qi burning nor be able to fully withstand that tempering force.

"This Heavenly Azure Spirit Marrow is truly a good thing!"

He praised in his heart, feeling the subtle changes happening in his eyes under the dual effect of Spirit Marrow and Divine Qi, then closed his eyelids, sinking all his heart and spirit into those eyes that were being tempered.

Tianyangfeng, outside a personal disciple courtyard on the mountainside.

An inner sect female disciple dressed in red tight-fitting clothes with an ordinary face stood respectfully in front of the door, raising her hand to knock lightly on the door:

"Xu Xu Shijie Wen, are you there."

Her voice was neither high nor low, carrying just the right amount of caution.

Everyone knew that this Xu Xu Shijie Wen had been in seclusion for quite a while, and if it weren't for the Liu Fengzhu personally explaining that the monthly elixirs could not be cut off, she wouldn't dare to come and disturb her.

After a good while, the door creaked open from inside.

Wen Yuelao was dressed in a light blue dress, her pretty oval face still carrying a few traces of fatigue from seclusion that hadn't faded, but those eyes were still bright.

After this period of bitter cultivation, her aura was even more solid than before, her full chest heaving slightly with her breathing, and just standing at the door, she pressed the female disciple until she couldn't help but lower her head a few points more.

She reached out to take the several bottles of elixirs handed over by the female disciple, looked down and was slightly stunned:

"Hmm? Has the elixir share for this month increased?"

She knew clearly how much her monthly share was before she went into seclusion.

The number of medicine bottles in her hand now was more than a large chunk compared to usual.

The female disciple's face was instantly piled with excited red light, unable to wait to open the conversation:

"Xu Xu Shijie Wen, you were in seclusion during this time and didn't know, our Tianyangfeng's Elder Jiang is truly incredible..."

As she recounted endlessly.

Wen Yuelao's face was also becoming more and more confused.

Tianyangfeng, inside another personal disciple courtyard.

Flames surged in the tripod furnace, the crimson fire light making the four walls flicker.

Zheng Feng sat cross-legged beside the tripod furnace, his hands forming seals, the aura around his body rising and falling like the tide.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes violently, a ray of essence shooting out like substance, the aura around his body surging violently.

The flames inside the tripod furnace were rushed by this air wave, leaping upward, and were pressed back by him with a casual wave.

Embracing the Pill Realm late-stage, done.

He slowly spat out a breath of turbid air, feeling the True Qi in his body that was several times more vigorous than before seclusion, a satisfied smile floating on the corners of his mouth.

With the spiritual power of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit plus bitter cultivation in seclusion, he finally crossed this threshold.

The next step, he could impact the perfection.

And then, temper the Divine Qi.

He stood up nimbly, pushed open the door, only to see Zheng Hui practicing boxing in the courtyard, her little face flushed red, sweat beads hanging on her temples, and she was even humming a little tune she didn't know where she heard.

Zheng Feng walked up with a smile, his hands behind his back, a rare trace of pride appearing on his face:

"Xiao Hui, Brother has good news to tell you!"

Zheng Hui immediately stopped her boxing stance, laughing excitedly: "Brother, I also have good news to tell you!"

"Oh? What good news do you have, let me hear it!"

Zheng Feng revealed a hint of surprise.

Zheng Hui couldn't wait to pour out the news that shook the Profound Heaven Sect.

The next instant.

Zheng Feng's expression froze instantly.

Inside the Tiankui Herb Garden.

Jiang Ye, who was sitting cross-legged in the open space of the herb garden, opened his eyes violently.

Boom—!!!

Almost the moment he opened his eyes.

Two clusters of red-gold flames suddenly rose in his aged eyes.

The two clusters of flames burned burning, making his eyes look like two great suns.

"Great Sun Flame Eye Refining Technique," small success!

At this moment, the world that came into his view changed again.

His gaze fell casually on the big tree in the distance.

Before breaking through, when he used his fire eyes, he could clearly see every depth of the texture on the surface of the trunk, every twitch of every crawling insect's tentacles.

And at this moment, his eyes seemed to be endowed with a kind of penetrating power, his gaze actually passing through the rough bark without obstruction, looking straight into the interior of the trunk.

He clearly saw the winding tunnel eaten by insects in the wood fibers, saw a fat white tree worm slowly wriggling in the depths of the tunnel, its segment-by-segment body squeezing out fine debris in the wood.

He could even vaguely capture the slowly flowing plasma inside the tree worm through its translucent skin.

He watched for a long time.

The leaves on the tree actually started to spontaneously combust...

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ye was overjoyed.

His fire eyes could influence external objects.

He instantly recalled the scene when he first climbed to the peak of Tianyangfeng to visit Luo Song.

At that time, he looked directly at Luo Song's fire eyes, only feeling a burning pain in his pupils, as if being directly burned by flames.

Now, his fire eyes had finally stepped into this threshold.

Luo Song could see the True Qi in his body through his fire eyes.

Didn't that mean he could now also see the True Qi in other people's bodies.

He wanted to test it.

Several hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the herb garden.

He turned his head subconsciously, looking toward the sound with his fire eyes that had just broken through.

It was actually Chen Lili helplessly bringing Wen Yuelao, Zheng Feng, and Zheng Hui toward the entrance of the herb garden.

The next instant.

Jiang Ye's expression changed abruptly, his old face instantly flushed red.

No.

What is this.

Hiss...

If Chen Lili is a supermodel.

Then this girl Wen Yuelao is simply a giant model...

This girl's talent is not just in cultivation...

Jiang Ye was stunned.

Judging from his rich experience, besides that Profound Water Liu Fengzhu Liu Qingyu in this huge Profound Heaven Sect.

Wen Yuelao could be called number one.

As for Zheng Hui on the side...

A little girl.

Simply not worth looking at. ===== CHAPTER 182 =====
