Chapter 525

"Luo Ling'er?"

Outside the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land, Ye Ye Qingxuan's figure slowly appeared.

Looking at the graceful figure waiting for him in the stone pavilion, a figure that was both strange and carried a hint of familiarity, Ye Ye Qingxuan was slightly hesitant.

And the figure in the stone pavilion, upon hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's voice, immediately turned around and looked at Ye Ye Qingxuan with some restraint, bowing and saying:

"Luo Ling'er pays her respects to Uncle-Master Ye!"

Luo Ling'er, the disciple of Ye Ye Qingxuan's junior brother, Liu Tai'an.

More than two hundred years ago, when Liu Tai'an came to visit Ye Ye Qingxuan, Ye Ye Qingxuan had seen Luo Ling'er once.

"It's been over two hundred years, how do you have time to come to Uncle-Master's place today?"

Ye Ye Qingxuan looked at Luo Ling'er's restrained appearance, walking toward the stone pavilion while teasing Luo Ling'er with a smile on his face.

Hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's words, Luo Ling'er's face immediately showed an awkward look, and she hurriedly explained with a slightly red face:

"I ask Uncle-Master to forgive me, these years your niece has been busy with cultivation and executing sect tasks, and forgot to come to pay her respects to Uncle-Master."

Looking at Luo Ling'er's awkward appearance, Ye Ye Qingxuan suddenly felt it was boring, so he stopped teasing her,

"Hahaha, no matter, your Uncle-Master I am by nature a person who likes quiet, so you don't need to be afraid that your Uncle-Master I will blame you for this matter."

After entering the stone pavilion, Ye Ye Qingxuan laughed and sat down on the stone stool while talking to Luo Ling'er.

Afterward, sensing Luo Ling'er's current cultivation base, he couldn't help but praise:

"Peak of the Deity Transformation Realm? Your cultivation speed is only slightly inferior to your master's, not bad."

"Thank you, Uncle-Master, for the praise!"

Looking at Luo Ling'er's respectful and somewhat restrained appearance, Ye Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and spoke again:

"Sit down, you don't need to be restrained at Uncle-Master's place. Uncle-Master remembers that the first time you came here, you were quite the eccentric little thing? How come you are somewhat restrained now?"

Ye Ye Qingxuan clearly remembered that when Luo Ling'er first came with his junior brother Liu Tai'an, Luo Ling'er, who was standing behind Liu Tai'an, had made quite a few little expressions behind Liu Tai'an's back with her little face and big eyes.

At this time, Luo Ling'er, who had been standing restrainedly, heard Ye Ye Qingxuan's words and felt the gentle aura emanating from Ye Ye Qingxuan's body.

Seeing that Ye Ye Qingxuan really didn't care about these etiquette-related constraints, Luo Ling'er immediately relaxed and sat on the stone stool opposite Ye Ye Qingxuan without any image, slumping her shoulders and muttering to complain:

"Uncle-Master, you don't know, after I went back from your place last time, Master gave me a lecture!"

"Later, he even made me learn a lot of etiquette and manners, it was so uncomfortable."

"Later, the war between the two worlds broke out, and Master went to the border to sit in command and gain experience. I thought I was free, but I didn't expect Master to turn around and arrange for me to cultivate under a strict Elder who pays great attention to etiquette."

"If it weren't for the fact that I could occasionally accept sect tasks to temporarily leave that Elder's discipline, your niece would have been driven crazy."

Looking at Luo Ling'er's bitter face, Ye Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but laugh: "Who told you to make those little expressions behind your master's back at the time? You didn't think that behind your master's back, your master wouldn't notice your little actions, did you?"

Hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's words, Luo Ling'er pouted and said unconvinced: "I didn't think that much at the time! Who knew Master was so petty, forcing me to learn all kinds of etiquette, rules, and manners just because of this?"

As she spoke, Luo Ling'er's big eyes scanned the environment around the stone pavilion again, and she chuckled:

"Hehehe, having said that, it's still more relaxed and comfortable at your place, Uncle-Master. If I had known, I would have come to play at your place, Uncle-Master, from time to time these years."

Based on Luo Ling'er's understanding of her master Liu Tai'an.

If it were other matters, her master might not agree and would lecture her afterward.

But if it were to visit and see Ye Ye Qingxuan, this Uncle-Master, her master would absolutely not lecture her afterward.

Although this was only Luo Ling'er's second time coming, the atmosphere here and the gentle, casual aura that Ye Ye Qingxuan inadvertently exuded made Luo Ling'er feel very relaxed and comfortable.

However, after hearing Luo Ling'er's words, Ye Ye Qingxuan directly refused:

"Don't, your Uncle-Master I don't have that much time to chat with you often. If you come often, you can just drink tea and enjoy the scenery in this stone pavilion yourself, which is not bad."

"That would be better to forget it, I don't have your elegance, Uncle-Master, I don't like drinking tea, and I can't appreciate this scenery."

Just as Ye Ye Qingxuan finished speaking, Luo Ling'er shook her head and refused directly.

Looking at Luo Ling'er, who was stunningly beautiful but also eccentric and somewhat careless, Ye Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but feel a hint of helplessness for Liu Tai'an.

Thinking of Liu Tai'an's rigid way of doing things, Ye Ye Qingxuan estimated that Liu Tai'an must have often felt a headache for this disciple of his who was so jumpy in her behavior, right?

Shaking his head slightly, he didn't have time to chat with Luo Ling'er now, so he said straightforwardly: "Tell me, what is the matter with your visit this time?"

After sending Luo Ling'er away, he was still in a hurry to go back and enter closed-door cultivation to refine the next Eighth-Order talisman.

"Oh oh oh, almost forgot, I came this time because Master asked me to visit you, and by the way, bring you something."

Hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's inquiry, Luo Ling'er seemed to remember something in an instant, and hurriedly took out a wooden box from her storage ring and handed it to Ye Ye Qingxuan.

"Uncle-Master, this is the Source of the Spirit Vein that my Master asked me to bring to you."

"Uncle-Master, you are a Blessed Land cultivator, and your cultivation base is limited by the blessed land, at most only one order higher than the blessed land's grade. Even if I gave you the corpse of a Qingmo clansman, it wouldn't help you break through your cultivation base."

"So my Master asked me to give you some Sources of the Spirit Vein, to help you, Uncle-Master, accelerate the cultivation and growth speed of your blessed land."

"I am going to the lower realm for experience in a few days, and when I come back from the lower realm, I will come to visit you, Uncle-Master, hehehe!"

In the years since the Di Li Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm bordered each other, the struggle between the human race and the Qingmo race had shifted from the lower realm to the upper realm, but the invasions against the lower realms of both sides had never stopped all these years.

However, compared to the frequency before, the invasions and struggles in the lower realm after the two worlds bordered had become much milder relatively speaking.

And after the Qingmo Realm officially invaded, with the major forces in the Di Li Xuan Realm united against the outside, the Di Li Xuan Realm, which lacked internal strife, was no longer suitable for the disciples of the major forces to gain experience.

Under these circumstances, the vast majority of the disciples under the major forces went to the Qingmo Realm to gain experience, and a small number of disciples were arranged to go to the lower realm to gain experience.

Especially those core disciples with outstanding talent, in order to avoid these disciples dying prematurely in the uncontrollable Qingmo Realm, they were basically arranged to gain experience in the lower realm.

The situation in the Qingmo Realm was much the same.

So now, those Small Thousand Worlds attached to the two worlds had become places for the core disciples of the major forces of the human race and the Qingmo race to gain experience and compete.

And it was precisely because of this that although the battles in the various lower worlds were not as frequent as before, they had become much more intense once a struggle occurred.

"Uncle-Master, I have finished the matter that Master entrusted to me, so I will leave now!"

After finishing the matter, Luo Ling'er prepared to get up and leave, but was directly stopped by Ye Ye Qingxuan.

"Wait a moment." Ye Ye Qingxuan scanned the thirty Third-Order Sources of the Spirit Vein and six Fourth-Order Sources of the Spirit Vein in the wooden box with his spiritual sense, and smiled slightly:

"Since you are going to the lower realm for experience in a few days, Uncle-Master will give you some little things for self-protection!"

As he spoke, Ye Ye Qingxuan waved his hand and took out two stacks of talismans and thirty pills full of metallic texture, handing them to Luo Ling'er in the air.

"These are thirty Sixth-Order Supreme-Grade defensive talismans and thirty Sixth-Order Supreme-Grade offensive talismans, as well as one each of Seventh-Order Supreme-Grade, Upper-Grade, Mid-Grade, and Lower-Grade offensive and defensive talismans, and thirty Sixth-Order Supreme-Grade Nuclear Explosion Elixirs."

"Consider these as a gift from Uncle-Master for your first trip to the lower realm for experience!"

After finishing, Ye Ye Qingxuan looked at Luo Ling'er, who was dumbfounded and frozen in place, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:

"Alright, stop daydreaming, take them!"

At this time, Luo Ling'er finally came back to her senses, looking at the talismans and Nuclear Explosion Elixirs floating in front of her, somewhat hesitant.

"This?"

At the same time, Luo Ling'er couldn't help but shout in her heart: "Ah! Ah! Ah! Am I dreaming? Is my Uncle-Master this wealthy?"

"Compared to Uncle-Master, I am simply a poor ghost. Master is also really something, he didn't think about preparing some resources for me to show off in front of fellow disciples, wuwuwu..."

"I really want these treasures! But they seem a bit too precious, right?"

Looking at Luo Ling'er's hesitant appearance, Ye Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly again:

"Take them! Although your Uncle-Master I am only a mere Blessed Land cultivator, this does not affect the fact that your Uncle-Master I am a wealthy tycoon!"

"However, you can only tell your Master about these things I gave you, do not reveal to others that I gave them to you."

Liu Tai'an already knew that the Tianfu Shop in the sect marketplace was his.

Now that the Tianfu Shop had advanced to a star-rated shop, even if he didn't give Luo Ling'er these things, Liu Tai'an would notice his skyrocketing financial power after returning to the sect.

And with Liu Tai'an's nature, even if he felt some curiosity about the source of his financial power, he would not probe his secrets.

Therefore, exposing a portion of his financial power in front of this cheap junior brother of his was of no consequence.

The most critical thing was that with Ye Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base and status in the Xuantian Sect, Ye Ye Qingxuan was no longer afraid of some speculation from outsiders.

Even if outsiders guessed more and thought more, would these people dare to forcibly take action against him within the Xuantian Sect and break into his blessed land?

With his master Cen Zhe's protection, the others in the Xuantian Sect were not to be feared.

The reason for not letting Luo Ling'er reveal it to others was simply that Ye Ye Qingxuan didn't want to be visited and disturbed by others, finding it troublesome.

"Uncle-Master, are you really giving me these things? Then I'll accept them, okay?"

Hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's words, and coupled with the fact that these talismans and Nuclear Explosion Elixirs indeed had great attraction to Luo Ling'er, the look of being moved on Luo Ling'er's face could no longer be hidden.

Looking at Luo Ling'er's face with obvious excitement and hesitation, Ye Ye Qingxuan chuckled: "Hehehe, take them! Your Uncle-Master I still have things to do, so I won't see you off."

After finishing, Ye Ye Qingxuan's figure disappeared directly in the stone pavilion and returned to the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land.

Seeing Ye Ye Qingxuan leave suddenly, Luo Ling'er subconsciously bowed respectfully: "Ling'er respectfully sees off Uncle-Master!"

Apparently, after these years of training, although she didn't like these etiquettes, her manners and behavior in terms of etiquette had already been engraved in Luo Ling'er's bones.

After bowing, Luo Ling'er stared with shining eyes at the talismans and Nuclear Explosion Elixirs floating not far in front of her, and happily put these things into her storage ring.

Then Luo Ling'er's spiritual sense kept counting and stroking these talismans and Nuclear Explosion Elixirs in the storage ring, and she flew away from the stone pavilion with a silly smile on her face.

And in the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land.

After Luo Ling'er left, Ye Ye Qingxuan withdrew his spiritual sense and began to focus on refining the next Eighth-Order talisman.

With the experience of refining the first Eighth-Order talisman, Ye Ye Qingxuan's refining technique became much more proficient, and his refining speed was also gradually improving.

Under Ye Ye Qingxuan's immersive refining, time in the outside world began to pass rapidly.

Spring went and autumn came, and in the blink of an eye, another thirteen years had passed.

During these thirteen years, Ye Ye Qingxuan had refined all the raw materials he possessed that were suitable for refining talismans into Eighth-Order talismans.

In just thirteen years, he had harvested a total of nineteen Eighth-Order Lower-Grade talismans, with Eighth-Order offensive talismans and Eighth-Order defensive talismans being half and half.

After the materials were used up, Ye Ye Qingxuan temporarily stopped refining Eighth-Order talismans.

Standing on the mountain peak where the Eighth-Order spirit vein was located, Ye Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment and took stock of the Eighth-Order resources he currently possessed.

"The remains of that Eighth-Order Green Wood Ancient Tree should be usable now, so why not make it the next target?"

After finishing, Ye Ye Qingxuan's mind moved, and he was just about to head to the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land to take out the remains of the Green Wood Ancient Tree that were being nurtured in the Eighth-Order spirit vein.

But he didn't expect that at this moment, the disciple token hanging at his waist vibrated slightly again.

"Ye Qingxuan, I have come out of closed-door cultivation, have you come out now?"

Looking at the message sent by Ye Ye Qingxiao, Ye Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and replied through his spiritual sense immediately.

"I have also come out, I am waiting for you in the stone pavilion outside the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land!"

"Okay! I'm coming right over."

Seeing that Ye Ye Qingxiao was preparing to come over, Ye Ye Qingxuan immediately left the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land and came to the stone pavilion in the outside world.

Sitting upright on the stone stool, he waved his hand to take out a teapot, placed it on the stone table, raised the Dao fire, and began to brew tea, waiting quietly for Ye Ye Qingxiao's arrival.

Not long after, a ray of rosy light streaked across the sky and landed in the stone pavilion.

"Hehehe, Ye Qingxuan, long time no see!"

Without needing Ye Ye Qingxuan to greet him, Ye Ye Qingxiao had already sat down on the stone stool opposite Ye Ye Qingxuan.

Looking at Ye Ye Qingxiao, Ye Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and teased:

"Rare, isn't it? With your nature, you would actually close-door cultivate in stillness?"

Hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's teasing, Ye Ye Qingxiao gave a bitter smile and said:

"Hey, don't mention it. Wasn't I doing this to break through to the Void Penetration Realm? I didn't expect that after entering the Xuantian Secret Realm for decades of closed-door cultivation, I still couldn't comprehend the rules and break through to the Void Penetration Realm."
