Mortal Seeking Immortal

Xuemei took out a small jade slip that was only half the size of a palm from her sleeve and handed it to Ye Zhou: "Master Ye, if you want to leave the Spiritual Continent in the future, I hope this thing can help you."

"I also ask Young Master Ye to promise me not to let too many people know about this thing. This thing was obtained by the people at the headquarters with great efforts. Not many people in Wanbao Auction House know about this thing. If it is leaked, I am afraid that the headquarters will Hold me accountable.”

When Ye Zhou took the jade slip, his fingertips accidentally touched the back of Xuemei's hand. He felt it was cold to the touch and as smooth as jade.

The moment her fingertips touched Ye Zhou's, a blush suddenly appeared on Xue Mei's charming face. This was her first contact with the opposite sex. Xue Mei immediately retracted her hand, not daring to look directly at Ye Zhou again, as if She acted like a little daughter.

Ye Zhou raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, coughed twice, then released his spiritual consciousness and looked into the jade slip. He found that inside the jade slip was a map, which should record a secret route to evacuate the spiritual fantasy continent.

Ye Zhou's heart warmed up, and he raised his hands to Xue Mei and said softly: "Ye also hopes that Miss Xue Mei will be safe. The demon cultivator behaves cruelly. If the girl can be trusted, I also hope that the girl will leave the Spiritual Continent as soon as possible and never get involved in this." Come in a big battle."

After saying that, Ye Zhou handed Xue Mei another transmission talisman: "Miss Xuemei, if you need me, Ye Zhou, in the future, you can use this talisman to communicate with me, and I will definitely come to help."

Seeing Ye Zhou opening the door and about to leave, Xue Mei suddenly felt a little disappointed in her heart. The two of them parted this time and didn't know when they would see each other again. Thinking of this, Xue Mei said softly: "Mr. Ye, take care of it."

Ye Zhou turned around and said back to Xuemei: "Miss Xuemei, you also cherish me and look forward to the day when we meet again."

In the Spirit Beast Sect, as soon as Ye Zhou returned to the sect, he learned from Sheng Jin that, as Ye Zhou expected, even though the Spirit Beast Sect was rich in rewards, not many disciples took the initiative to sign up to go to the border to resist the demonic sect's army.

It seems that the departure date negotiated by the four sects and three sects is approaching, but the number of disciples from the Spirit Beast Sect who have signed up voluntarily is less than one-tenth of the required number.

After the leader and the elders heard the news, in order not to delay the departure date, they immediately ordered all the foundation-building disciples of the sect to gather in the square in front of Dengxian Mountain tomorrow, and all members would decide whether to stay or go by drawing lots.

If any disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage dares not to show up to draw lots, he will be treated as apostate, his cultivation will be revoked on the spot, and he will be expelled from the Spirit Beast Sect.

Now that this news has spread throughout the Spirit Beast Sect, most of the foundation-building disciples are extremely worried.

Seeing no one around, Sheng Jin whispered to Ye Zhou: "Now you are also a foundation-building disciple. Fortunately, you have lived in seclusion in the past few years, and not many people in the family know you."

"Master has an order that you don't have to go draw lots tomorrow. He has already asked for a grace for you in front of the master. No one will hold you accountable if you don't go. But you'd better meditate in the cave for a while. In the near future, Don’t leave the cave if you have nothing to do.”

Ye Zhou was grateful to the Sixth Elder for a while, but then Ye Zhou realized that Sheng Jin was also a disciple in the Foundation Establishment stage. He immediately looked at Sheng Jin and asked, "Senior brother, are you going to draw lots tomorrow?"

Sheng Jin said: "Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the leader does not dare to make too many exceptions, fearing that the disciples will be disappointed, so he only gave each elder one grace quota."

"You are Master's only direct disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm. You have a bright future and you have made great contributions to the sect. This spot belongs to you. Don't worry about me. I'm just going to draw lots tomorrow. You may not win."

"I have been raising spiritual insects in the sect these years. If I win the lottery, I will take this opportunity to go to the border. Don't worry, for the sake of the Sixth Elder, they will not send me even if I go to the border. Participate in dangerous warfare.”

After saying that, Sheng Jin patted Ye Zhou on the shoulder and smiled at Ye Zhou, as if to reassure Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou knew that Sheng Jin said this just to stop him from worrying, but once he went to the border, who would care about the life and death of a small registered disciple?

On the battlefield, the monks at the Qi Training Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm are just pawns charging forward. Everyone will only pay attention to the safety of the monks at the Core Formation Realm and Nascent Soul Realm. After all, they are the key to turning the tide of the battle.

Ye Zhou opened his mouth to say something more, but Sheng Jin took the initiative to change the subject and said: "Junior brother Ye, I think your cultivation has reached the stage of foundation building perfection. I wonder if you can successfully break through to the core formation state when I return to the sect. territory?"

Ye Zhou and Sheng Jin chatted for a few more words, and then someone from the Sixth Elder came to summon Sheng Jin.

Ye Zhou bid farewell to Sheng Jin and did not return to the cave. Instead, he rushed to Lingfa Mountain where Wu Yong's master and apprentice lived. From a distance, Ye Zhou saw the door of the small courtyard where Wu Yong's master and apprentice lived open. There were two people in Tai The outer disciples serving beside the elder were coming out of the small courtyard.

After the two people left, Ye Zhou walked towards the small courtyard. Before entering the small courtyard, Ye Zhou heard Wu Yong's master Wu Yu sighing heavily from a distance: "What should we do?"

After sighing, Wu Yu turned around and returned to the kitchen. After a while, there was a sound of chopping things, and from time to time, there were a few clinking sounds of pots and pans.

Ye Zhou stepped into the small courtyard and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Wu Yong, who was standing in the small courtyard, was holding a fist-sized miniature alchemy furnace in deep thought. Seeing Ye Zhou's arrival, Wu Yong hurriedly walked towards Ye Zhou and said with a look of joy: "Brother Ye, You came."

"Two days ago, I heard the news that you had returned to the sect. I was about to go to your cave to find you, but then I heard that your senior brother Sheng Jin said that you had left again."

Ye Zhou took out more than a dozen elixir bottles and several defensive magical weapons from his arms, and handed them to Wu Yong: "Now that the demon sect's army is approaching, I'm going to get some elixir and magical weapons for emergencies. This is for Yours."

Wu Yong was not polite to Ye Zhou. He took the elixir weapon and put it into his arms. He led Ye Zhou to a stone table in the courtyard and sat down. Then he said: "Brother Ye, before you come, "The Supreme Elder sent two disciples to inform us that the three of us, master and disciple, must choose one person to draw lots in the square tomorrow."

After saying that, Wu Yong sighed heavily and said: "Brother Ye, what do you think this is? Our three masters and apprentices' daily work is to cook for the Supreme Elder and work part-time in farming in our spare time."

"Isn't it sheer nonsense to ask us to go to the border to fight the enemy? With the strength of the three of us, what can we do on the front line? Should we work as cooks for the disciples of the four sects and three sects, or as food for the demon cultivators?"

"Besides, the Supreme Elder didn't tell us when he brought us back to the sect that we needed to go to the battlefield to kill the demon cultivator."

After Wu Yong said that, he heard Ye Zhou say: "The Supreme Elder cannot be entirely blamed for this matter."

"Now the master has personally ordered that all foundation-building disciples must participate in the drawing of lots. Many disciples in the sect know that your master is a popular person next to the Supreme Elder. If the drawing ceremony is held tomorrow, none of you, master and disciple, will go. If you participate, you may be criticized.”

"The Supreme Elder asked you, master and disciple, to choose one of you to draw lots. This is already a special treatment for you. After all, you only have one quota in your hands that does not require you to participate in the draw.

When Wu Yong heard this, his face was full of confusion. After a moment, Wu Yong looked up at the courtyard and saw that his master and brothers were not in the courtyard. Then he whispered to Ye Zhou: "Actually, the Supreme Elder sent someone here When I mentioned this, I had already planned it in my mind.”

"Master is already old. I really can't bear for him to go to the border. If the four sects and three sects lose this battle, only a small part of the disciples who go to the border to reinforce may survive from the hands of the demon cultivators. I don't want Master to be in danger. ”

"As for senior brother, don't look at him. He is usually smart, but he is stubborn. The border is so dangerous. If he doesn't like the demon cultivator and fights with them to the end, wouldn't he ask my master to send the white-haired person to the black-haired person? "

"So it's best for me to participate in the lottery. Firstly, with my luck, I may not be able to win. Secondly, even if I go to the border, I will act according to the opportunity and will never fight to the death with the demon cultivator."

"And I've already mastered the furnace-exploding weapon you taught me to refine to some extent. With the protection of my furnace-exploding weapon, I will definitely escape unscathed."

After that, Wu Yong confidently tossed the palm-sized sealed small alchemy furnace in his hand. At this moment, he saw several beams of red light emerging from the alchemy furnace that made Ye Zhou feel familiar.

Is this alchemy furnace about to explode?

Before Ye Zhou could make any move, he saw Wu Yong running towards the outside of the small courtyard with the alchemy furnace in his hands. Soon he came to the edge of the cliff and threw the alchemy furnace in his hand back up the mountain with great skill. It exploded immediately. The birds were frightened.

Wu Yong coughed twice and said: "Brother Ye, believe me, this time it was a pure mistake."

Ye Zhou was skeptical about this.

At this time, a roar came from the back mountain under the cliff: "Which god is releasing magic attacks on me every day? I, Mr. Li, have offended you! This is the eighth time you have thrown it today. The monster I finally found was scared away by you again!"
