Mortal Seeking Immortal

After seeing off Mr. Shu, Ye Zhou couldn't wait to open the locked room with the key.

The moment he pushed open the door, Ye Zhou opened his mouth in shock!

This extremely spacious room was filled with densely packed jade slips, which were many times more than the jade slips in the Blood Spirit Sect's power room.

Ye Zhou walked into the room quickly and looked at each shelf carefully.

The jade slips on these shelves were arranged in different categories, roughly divided into spiritual medicine, magic, alchemy, human geography, magic tools and magic treasure knowledge, etc., so many that Ye Zhou was dazzled.

Ye Zhou casually took a jade slip about magic from the bookshelf, held it in his hand and felt it, and immediately knew that the jade slip contained a low-level magic fire bomb.

Magic, calling the wind and rain, summoning thunder and fire, is a real fairy skill.

It is exactly what Ye Zhou yearns for the most.

An hour passed before Ye Zhou put down the jade slip, and then he exhaled a long breath, stretched out his fingers, and soon the spiritual power gathered to form a shining high-temperature light ball the size of a mung bean.

However, the fireball condensed for a moment before it went out with a puff.

It seems that more practice is needed to master it.

Ye Zhou came to the courtyard and found a secluded corner. Just as he was about to practice the fire bomb technique, he heard someone calling his name outside the formation.

"Ye Zhou, I'm Er Zhuang, I came to see you, open the formation quickly!"

Ye Zhou was slightly excited, took out the token to control the formation to separate a path, and saw the familiar figure of Er Zhuang standing outside the formation.

"Ye Zhou!"

Er Zhuang ran towards Ye Zhou excitedly, hugged Ye Zhou excitedly, and big hot tears dripped on the back of Ye Zhou's hand.

"Er Zhuang, why are you here?" Ye Zhou was also very excited when he saw Er Zhuang, but seeing that Er Zhuang was much thinner than when he first came, he knew that he had not had a good time during this period.

"I learned from Gou Shengzi that you are a handyman here. I just got free recently, so I came to see you." Er Zhuang wiped his tears and looked at Ye Zhou. The two whispered to each other about their experiences during this period.

Although Er Zhuang was not as miserable as Ye Zhou, he was not as easy as Gou Shengzi. Every day, he practiced except for morning classes. If he was lazy, he would be severely punished by the senior brother on duty.

Ye Zhou comforted Er Zhuang.

"By the way, I came here to tell you that you must not go out during this period. There is a handyman named Zhao Xu who squatted outside your yard every day for a month, waiting for you to go out and deal with you." Er Zhuang warned.

It's Zhao Xu again! Ye Zhou's face sank.

The two talked for a while. Because Er Zhuang was in a hurry to go back to practice, Ye Zhou could only reluctantly send Er Zhuang away and prepare to continue practicing the fire bomb technique.

He held his breath and concentrated, slightly raised his right hand, stared at the empty palm with his eyes, and recited the formula according to the method described in the jade slip, and slowly output the spiritual power to his right hand.

After more than a quarter of an hour, a fireball as big as a broad bean slowly floated up from Ye Zhou's right palm.

Under Ye Zhou's excited eyes, the fireball trembled twice, and then turned into a puff of green smoke and extinguished.

Come again!

Ye Zhou began to practice frantically, and wisps of green smoke of varying thicknesses emerged from this remote corner of the courtyard from time to time.

......

Outside the courtyard, several figures were sneaking in the weeds around them, and a vicious look in the middle was staring at the courtyard shrouded in white fog.

This person was Zhao Xu!

Since he failed to kill Ye Zhou at Wuming Peak last time, Zhao Xu brought people to the courtyard to monitor Ye Zhou day and night, waiting for him to show his head and then take action.

But it has been a month, and Ye Zhou is like a turtle, going into the courtyard and not coming out, which makes Zhao Xu and others both resentful and helpless.

Elder Shu set up a barrier outside the courtyard. Not to mention that they couldn't get through with their strength, they didn't have the courage to do so.

Although Elder Shu's strength and prestige in the Blood Spirit Sect were not as good as other elders, even the elders had to give him face.

"Brother Zhao, you said that this kid wouldn't know that we were going to cause trouble for him, so he planned to hide in the courtyard for three to five years." A thin man next to Zhao Xu said with a bitter face.

"That's right, Brother Zhao, this is not a solution." The remaining few people also followed suit.

At first, they thought that it would take at most one or two days to deal with Ye Zhou, and he would hand over the task obediently after a threat, but they didn't expect that Ye Zhou was a hard bone to chew. It has been a month, and Ye Zhou has not come out.

Even if they are idle, they still have work to do. If they are discovered by the superiors, Zhao Xu is naturally not afraid of someone behind him, but the remaining few of them will inevitably be punished.

"Don't worry, I am sure that this kid will come out today. If he doesn't come out, we will withdraw." Zhao Xu said with a firm face.

"Oh?" Several people looked at Zhao Xu curiously.

"Today is the day for servants to collect spirit stones. All servants will go to Wuming Peak to collect spirit stones."

The Blood Spirit Sect stipulates that if there is no important matter to delay, if you miss the monthly time to collect spirit stones, the spirit stones will be automatically invalidated.

That's why Zhao Xu was so sure that Ye Zhou would come out today.

Zhao Xu looked at Bai Wu with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.

.......

Ye Zhou, who was still practicing the fire bomb technique in the garden, didn't know that Zhao Xu and others were blocking him at the door.

Although he knew that today was the day to collect spirit stones, Ye Zhou didn't plan to go out.

On the one hand, going out would inevitably confront Zhao Xu. With his current strength, he would not get any good from Zhao Xu, so it would be better to practice honestly in the yard for the future.

Secondly, because Wu Yong was in charge of distributing spiritual stones, he missed the date to collect spiritual stones last time in case of delays. He told Wu Yong in advance that he could go to get spiritual stones at any time, but he had to give Wu Yong a little reward.

Ye Zhou, who had no worries, cast the fireball spell again. This time the fireball was the size of a thumb and dazzling!

When he was about to control the fireball with his mind and shoot it at a stone one meter away, the fireball went out with a puff.

Ye Zhou's face turned slightly pale.

Just as he was about to release the next fireball spell, a slight pain suddenly came from his dantian.

It turned out that under his unconscious casting, the spiritual power in his dantian was consumed very quickly. The pain just now was the signal that his dantian was exhausted.

However, Ye Zhou still gritted his teeth, endured the pain and forced a bean-sized fireball again.

Whoosh!

A flash of fire flashed.

Then there was a puff, and the flames burst and the heat waves rolled over.

Ye Zhou's eyebrows and hair were burned and curled up.

Although he released the fire bomb this time, it exploded as soon as he launched it, and did not hit the stone he wanted to attack at all...

"It's so hot..."

Ye Zhou seemed to have been struck by lightning, his face was burnt black, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

"In a few days, I can release it to blast rocks!"

He simply counted the number of times he had cast the fire bomb just now. At his current level, he could only cast six fire bombs.

This was because he practiced the nameless remnant technique, and the spiritual power in his body was stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.

An ordinary cultivator of the second level of Qi training can only cast four fire bombs.

After finishing the spell, looking at the medicinal field in the courtyard, Ye Zhou remembered that he still had half of the spiritual herbs to identify, so he took out the booklet from his arms and continued to identify the remaining spiritual herbs.

He must remember all the remaining spiritual herbs before Mr. Shu makes the elixir!

Time spent in the medicinal field always passed quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

The moon was high in the sky, and Ye Zhou reluctantly took the booklet and returned to the room. He stretched his body. Although he was a little sleepy, he still chose to meditate and practice the nameless formula to replenish the spiritual power consumed during the day.

Ye Zhou knew that his talent was not as good as others, so he had to be more diligent than others.
