C10 On the Night of the Full Moon
"ZMine Lot!"
Ye Xiao's mind shook, and his bright eyes trembled.
These four words had been engraved in his heart all these years, as if they were carved by knives and axes, and he could never forget them all day long. They had penetrated deep into his soul, and it was really too profound.
Because, it was precisely the place where his father, Ye Liancheng, had gone missing!
What a coincidence!
The Treasure Pavilion actually had an ancient pill from the Z Mine Lot?
Ye Xiao's eyes sparkled. At this moment, he noticed that Luo Xianxian's voice had suddenly stopped. A trace of pity flashed across her beautiful eyes as she said:
"Young master, please don't blame me. Since I invited you here, of course I have to know everything about you. Your father should have entered the Z Mine Lot before, right?"
Ye Xiao's heart moved slightly.
Luo Xianxian knew!
Of course, this was not a secret.
All these years, the Mu family was unmoved. He had thought of many other ways to inquire about the existence of the Z Mine Lot. Unfortunately, it wasn't only because the Green City was too small, but also because of other reasons.
He could understand Luo Xianxian's way of doing things.
After all, no one would have 100% trust in him before they had a thorough understanding of him.
Ye Xiao looked at Luo Xianxian with a serious expression.
"What does Miss Luo want to say?"
Luo Xianxian heard the cautiousness in Ye Xiao's tone and sighed softly. She glanced at Pharmacist Fong from the corner of her eye and signaled with her eyes.
Pharmacist Fong immediately walked forward and turned his wrist. Ye Xiao's attention was almost all on Luo Xianxian. He didn't notice that Pharmacist Fong had already placed a wooden box on the stone table. After opening it, he saw a few ancient books that were damaged on the surface. They had obviously been repaired well, and it was difficult to conceal the fact that they had been there for a long time.
"These few books are the few descriptions of the Z Mine Lot that I can temporarily find. I can't explain them in a few words. Please do as you wish, young master."
"These few days, Young Master has been in the Treasure Pavilion, and the treasury can be freely browsed by Young Master."
"If young master can help me refine that ancient pill successfully, if young master insists on going to the Z Mine Lot in the future, I might be able to provide you with some help."
Luo Xianxian threw one olive branch after another over. Ye Xiao was surprised when he heard her. He raised his head and saw the seriousness in the latter's eyes, and his spirit immediately shivered.
Good intentions?
He did not think that Luo Xianxian did this to help him without reason.
This only meant that the ancient pill she wanted him to refine was definitely incomparably important to her!
This was a transaction.
A win-win deal!
Ye Xiao naturally would not reject this. He took a deep breath and nodded lightly.
"I understand!"
...
Opening the skylight to speak clearly, his mind was clear.
Both of them understood each other's needs and naturally there was nothing else to say. After a few words of small talk, Luo Xianxian said goodbye and left.
Ye Xiao got up and cupped his hands to send her off. He did not expect Pharmacist Fong to suddenly come back.
"Kid, do your best."
"If this matter succeeds, Treasure Pavilion will definitely not let you down. If there is anything you don't know about alchemy, you can come and ask me."
"But..."
"The old man continued, You don't need to ask for too much. Once this matter is over, I hope that you can leave the Treasure Pavilion as soon as possible. One must know one's own limitations. "
Know your own limitations?
Ye Xiao looked at Pharmacist Fong's back, which had disappeared into the darkness once again. He recalled the last time Pharmacist Fong had looked at him deeply. There was a profound meaning behind it, and he could not figure it out.
Pharmacist Fong, what kind of misunderstanding is this?
However, when he saw the ancient books on the stone table in front of him from the corner of his eyes, Ye Xiao immediately threw these things to the back of his mind. His eyes lit up, and he sat down to read them.
Regarding the Z Mine Lot, he really wanted to understand it!
Father, just how did he get caught in it?
Why did Mu Duanchen's expression change drastically every time he mentioned the Z Mine Lot? Why did his eyes look uneasy?
What was so strange about it?
"* Hua La *"
Ye Xiao opened the book under the pavilion and used the moonlight to flip through the pages. The words were blurry, but fortunately, the moonlight was bright enough and there was no pressure to flip through them.
However, as the pages flipped, the number of ancient books decreased. Ye Xiao's face had become solemn and gloomy.
"Hmm?"
After an unknown period of time, Ye Xiao once again subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the wooden chest, yet it was empty, and then he suddenly woke up.
It turned out that he had already finished reading all of these books before he knew it.
"Hu!"
Ye Xiao's expression was solemn, and he exhaled turbid air like a pillar.
"So, the Z Mine Lot is actually such a dangerous place!"
The Z Mine Lot was located in the far west of the Boyue Principality. It covered tens of thousands of miles, and it was even comparable to half of the Boyue Principality!
Its origin also shocked Ye Xiao.
It was actually caused by the great battle of the strong!
Yes.
Experts.
Powerhouses who stood in the Cultivation Realm!
It was said that tens of millions of years ago, two ultimate experts had a great battle. One was a fire-type expert while the other was a metal-type expert. After the battle, the land had changed color, the earth had been torn apart, and the flames had engulfed the area, forming a forbidden zone.
The Z Mine Lot was the place where the two of them had fallen. Ever since that battle, the flames had burned for hundreds of years. In the next hundred years, the place was filled with high temperatures. Humans and animals were not allowed to get close to it, and it had become a forbidden zone.
It was only after a thousand years that someone accidentally entered the place and found out in surprise. After a thousand years of evolution, Z Mine Lot had already become a strange place. It was filled with a mysterious energy, and the essence of fire and metal nourished it day and night. Natural materials and treasures grew in abundance, and it had completely transformed into a superb treasure ground!
It was precisely from that day onwards that Z Mine Lot became famous one day, and that was how it became famous! - -
Riot after riot began!
There was competition, there was slaughter!
Moreover, there were not only natural treasures in Z Mine Lot. There was also a legend that the two experts had fallen in a world-shaking battle at the same time. The deepest part of the battle also contained the martial arts inheritance of the two of them for the rest of their lives!
This was a temptation that no one could resist!
Slaughter was born because of this.
For thousands of years, countless experts had perished within it, and the Divine Weapons and treasures left behind by them had become the target of the future generations to fight for, and there were even more people that competed for it, and there were countless of them.
It was like a cycle.
A bloodthirsty cycle!
This was the origin of the Z Mine Lot!
In modern times, it had even become a training ground for all the big sects and families. Every five years, large groups of disciples and rich families would gather in the Z Mine Lot to search for their own opportunities.
The reason why it was five years was because there were experts who discovered the rules. Every once in a while, the strange force field in the Z Mine Lot would weaken to the extreme, and it was the best opportunity to seek treasures.
During this period of time, it had already been occupied by the major families and wealthy families!
In Cultivation Realm, the strong were respected.
Although Ye Xiao had never cultivated before today, his understanding of reality was not any less than that of his peers. He even had a deeper understanding of it and accepted it very quickly.
"Five years..."
"Father should have entered four years ago. He should have used the identity of a sect disciple to hire a martial artist..."
Ye Xiao's expression was gloomy.
The sect's training, even if that was the least dangerous time in the Z Mine Lot. No one was willing to take the risk and become a lone hero. No one would treat their own life as a joke. So at that time, many of the clan disciples would hire rogue cultivators as retainers.
To put it nicely, retainers.
To put it bluntly, it was...
A scapegoat!
Adventure, you go first!
Benefits, I'll do it!
"Father!"
Ye Xiao felt uncomfortable in his heart. He could not help but let out a muffled roar. His eyes were blood-red.
For the sake of him and his sister, his father had bet his life!
"The next opening of the Z Mine Lot's core will be one year later..."
One year!
He only had one year left!
After the next opportunity, the possibility of finding his father was extremely low!
Ye Xiao understood that this might be his only chance.
"I must reach the Spiritual Ocean Realm within a year!"
It was impossible to enter the Z Mine Lot unless one was a disciple of a clan, unless one became a servant. If one wanted to become a disciple's servant, the Spiritual Ocean Realm was the lowest standard!
"There's still a chance!"
The color of blood in Ye Xiao's eyes faded, and he regained his senses. A bright light flickered as he looked at a jade bottle that Pharmacist Fong had placed on the stone table before he left.
Spirit pill!
The Qi Fostering Pill that was specifically used for Whirlwind Stage cultivation was of excellent quality.
Ye Xiao had already used his special ability to examine it. Holding it in his hand, his eyes were firm, and he growled in a low voice.
"Father, I will definitely find you!"
Tomorrow, he would go to the library of Ling-Bao Hall and try to learn more. It would be even better if he could get another spiritual spell!
Ye Xiao was secretly making plans in his heart, and he was anxious.
Even though he had a strange ability, his foundation was too shallow. The time he took to step into the Martial Path was shorter. Others at his age... Even an ordinary person would at least be at the third level of the Whirlwind Stage, and Dung Zifei would be at the fifth level of the Whirlwind Stage. Furthermore, the latter was definitely not a genius!
At least, Luo Xianxian was stronger than him!
Cultivate!
Become stronger!
Time was of the essence!
"Hu!"
Ye Xiao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. But at this moment, suddenly...
Whoosh!
A refreshing chill entered Ye Xiao's chest and made him shiver.
It was cold in the early winter, but wasn't it too cold?
Could it be...
As if he'd suddenly thought of something, Ye Xiao's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the sky. The moon and stars were sparse, and the bright moonlight scattered down, causing the full moon to be flawless.
Ye Xiao's eyes suddenly trembled, and he was astounded.
"Full moon!"
"Tonight, it's a full moon?!"
"Sister!"
Ye Xiao suddenly stood up. He did not even care about the stone chair behind him falling down. He flew towards Ye Luo's bedroom with a furious expression.
Oh no!
His sister's illness...
Ye Luo's body had been weak since she was young, and her body was cold. It was just like what Pharmacist Fong had said just now, but as time and age accumulated, it became stronger and stronger.
The full moon of every month was even more so when it erupted, and it would be a hundred times stronger than usual!
Because of this, every night when the moon was full, Ye Xiao would take a medicinal bath for Ye Luo. He would soak her in hot water. Usually, it would take a night of tormenting before he could forcefully endure it.
But today, after so many things had happened, he actually forgot about it for a moment.
"Damn it!"
Ye Xiao cursed himself in his heart and kicked open the door.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Ye Xiao felt like he had walked into an ice cave from the land full of spring. Countless cold wind and frost roared and seeped into his bones. Even with his body as a martial artist, he could not help but shiver.
What he saw was even more shocking.
The beams and wooden tables and chairs had long since been covered with frost. Thick icicles hung down, striking fear into his eyes. But the most terrifying thing was Ye Luo's bed!
On the surface, it could not be seen that it was a bed. It was completely covered by thick ice and snow. The silver light was glaring. When Ye Xiao looked over, Ye Luo was lying on the bed. Her eyes were tightly closed and she kept shivering. Even the thick blanket could not bring her any warmth. Her lips were purple and she kept moaning.
"Brother, brother... I am cold... I'm so cold... "
"Sister!"
When Ye Xiao saw this scene, his heart felt like it was going to break. Ya Ci was on the verge of breaking apart. He took a big stride forward and immediately wanted to hug Ye Luo in his arms. He used the previous method to deal with it, but at this moment, his eyes fell on Ye Luo. Inexplicably, a surge of energy surged. He only felt a dazzling silver light explode from his younger sister Ye Luo's lower abdomen and dantian. His heart suddenly tightened.
"Warning!"
"Heavenly Dao Divine Rune!"
"[Attributes: Stars, Ice]"
"Grade: Nine Stars Supreme???"
"Status: Young."
"[Cultivation Requirements: Astral Soul Silver Sand, Ten Thousand Years Ice Heart...]"
"Life Providence, incomplete!"
"The target is on the brink of death. It can be touched and killed... "
Inexplicable information rushed into Ye Xiao's heart, and his heart skipped a beat. He knew that this was undoubtedly the effect of the strange ability he obtained, but this information...
Three question marks?
This was the first time Ye Xiao had seen three question marks.
And its last sentence...
Ye Xiao's lunge froze, his expression crazed.1
Younger sister, on the brink of death?
