In a forest less than ten miles away from the Profound Heaven Martial House, a Second Order wild beast slowly fell into a pool of blood.
"Rustle ~ ~ Rustle ~ ~"
A handsome young man dressed in white walked out from the bushes. The young man's eyes were like a terrifying whirlpool. When he opened his eyes, the whirlpool in them had already disappeared without a trace.
This young man was the one who came out of the cave, Ye Hongtian. Today was already the third day since he came out of the cave.
He estimated that in less than the time it took for him to be taken away, the black shadow had already brought him to that cave in less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn. He had rushed for three days before he finally saw the Profound Heaven Martial Palace, and it was only under the condition that the black shadow was only a remnant of his soul.
Ye Hongtian skillfully took out the rank 2 beast core from the beast. He easily separated the beast into a corpse and placed it in a bag on his back.
For the past three days, Ye Hongtian had been fighting with wild beasts. From exploding them with his fists to slowly using his soul to kill them, he had killed three level two and a level three wild beasts along the way. There were also some ordinary wild beasts, but tens of thousands of species of beast cores continued to devour beasts, which allowed Ye Hongtian to stabilize his cultivation at the peak of the Second Layer of Body Tempering.
There were a lot of wild beasts in the forest, but there were also a lot of powerful wild beasts. The most dangerous time, Ye Hongtian mistakenly entered the territory of a ninth stage wild beast, and the ninth stage wild beast chased after him through the entire forest. Just when Ye Hongtian thought he was going to die here, the tens of thousands of tree species suddenly released their light, shocking the ninth stage wild beast away.
Ye Hongtian was carrying the bag and travelling at full speed. It only took him half an incense's time to get there.
After Ye Hongtian entered the Martial House, the gatekeepers looked at each other, their lips moving. It was unknown what they were talking about, but after saying that, one of them left.
"I haven't offended anyone, right? Who would want to cause trouble for me?" Ye Hongtian's soul force was so strong, this scene was in his eyes, he was very confused.
"Right now, I just happen to need a whetstone that can sharpen my strength. No matter who it is, I'll take it." Ye Hongtian clenched his hands, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
He was prepared to exchange the corpses of the wild beasts he had killed in the past few days for points. The points in the Martial House could be used as money, and one point could be exchanged for ten taels of silver, as well as all sorts of cultivation resources and weapons.
Along the way, he had asked a few disciples about Gao Yu Ling's situation, and also asked for a general idea.
In order to wait for her master to plead with her, Gao Yuling had to drag out the travel time for seven days. Unfortunately, she hadn't been able to return from the cave. It had been four days since she left the Martial House.
In addition, he also heard an interesting news. On the seventh day, Gao Yu Ling did not wait for him and rode off sorrowfully. As the most talented female disciple of the mansion, she would definitely have some suitors. One of them, Hong Hu, brazenly said he would cut Ye Hongtian's leg.
Ye Hongtian could only bitterly smile. He had clearly not done anything, yet there was someone trying to untie his legs for no reason. This was truly an unexpected misfortune.
Ye Hongtian threw this annoyance to the back of his mind and walked in front of a Hall of Contributions disciple, and took out the beast's corpse from the bag behind him.
"Three rank 2 beast corpses and a rank 3 beast corpse. Without any beast cores, help me exchange them for points." Ye Hongtian pointed at the corpses of the wild beasts and explained.
The Hall of Contributions disciple was expressionless. He checked the dead wild beast and said, "Two points for the complete second level wild beast, no half points for the beast core, five points for the complete third level wild beast corpse, no two points for the beast core, a total of three and a half points. Is there any problem?"
"None!"
This price was fair, at most it would give some preferential treatment to those disciples with potential, Ye Hongtian naturally did not have any dissatisfaction with it.
"Give me your identity token."
Each disciple had their own identity token. Within the token, there was a drop of their blood that was useful for identifying themselves. The outer disciples' identity token was white, the inner disciples' were green, and the core disciples and Martial House higher-ups all had their own custom-made identity token.
Ye Hongtian took out his identity plate and handed it over. The Hall of Contributions disciple took Ye Hongtian's identity plate and then took out his own identity plate. He casually slipped it and gave it back to Ye Hongtian.
Ye Hongtian took the identity token and carefully felt if the points were in his account. He turned around and prepared to leave the Hall.
The moment he stepped out of the Hall of Contributions, a tearful voice sounded from behind him.
"Hongtian, I heard you came back. I was prepared to look for you, but you disappeared for a few days and I was worried to death. If you want to go out and train, then tell me." Hongtian, I heard you came back, I was prepared to look for you, but you disappeared for a few days.
Ye Hongtian turned his head to look. A middle-aged man was walking towards him with an expression that said he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I'm sorry for making Uncle Xian worry. I'm fine. Next time when I go out to gain experience, I'll let you know."
This middle-aged man was called Ye Xian, and the big brother he was talking about was Ye Hongtian's father. Ye Xian had obtained an elder position in the Hall of Contributions with his cultivation of the Niyuan level of 30 years old.
Ye Xian didn't believe what Ye Hongtian said. He walked in front of Ye Hongtian and carefully checked Ye Hongtian's wounds. After he finished, he let out a sigh of relief.
Thinking about how he told him to take good care of his son when he sent Ye Hongtian to the Martial House, he was almost scared to death when he found out that Ye Hongtian went missing a few days ago.
You scared me to death, brat. Going out to train for so many days to break through to the peak of Body Tempering Stage Two is pretty good. You didn't scare me for nothing. You have to cultivate well in the future …" "AHH!" Hong Tian, you!
Halfway through his words, Ye Xian suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Ye Hongtian. His mouth was wide opened, as if he was frightened by something.
Peak of Body Tempering Stage Level 2!
Wasn't Big Brother's son's meridians blocked, and he could only stay at the first layer of Body Tempering for the rest of his life?
He had only gone out to train for a few days, so how could he have broken through? Furthermore, he had broken through to the peak Second Layer of Body Tempering all of a sudden!
Ye Hongtian saw what Ye Xian was surprised about and quickly explained, "Uncle Xian, in these few days when my nephew was out training, he coincidentally found a small grass that was three inches long with a pure gold body. There were a total of nine leaves on the grass, and when he felt the grass was full of energy, he casually pulled it out and ate it.
"Pure Gold..." Unblocking the tendons and veins … The Nine Yang Invigorated Meridian Grass! Nine leaves. Could it be nine thousand years old? This is great luck! " Ye Xian thought for a while and came to a conclusion.
Seeing that Ye Xian was not suspicious, Ye Hongtian secretly let out a sigh of relief. The Nine Yang Invigorated Meridian Grass was something he had read in the library of the Martial House. His father had been searching for the Nine Yang Invigorated Meridian Grass for the past few years, but unfortunately, the conditions for it were extremely harsh.
"You can actually cultivate properly once you're done cultivating. Don't wander around everywhere. I have a bag of low grade Source Stones for you to use first. If it's not enough, come to the Hall of Contributions and ask your Uncle for it." Ye Xian wiped the Cosmic Bag on his waist with his hand and a bag appeared in his hand.
Ye Hongtian took the bag from Ye Xian and put it on his waist. Then, he hurriedly left the Hall of Contributions.
Ye Xian stood at the entrance of the Hall of Contributions looking at Ye Hongtian's back. Only when Ye Hongtian's figure had disappeared from his sight did he slowly turn around and prepare to leave.
When he walked to the side of the Hall of Contributions disciple who had entertained Ye Hongtian before, he suddenly remembered why Ye Hongtian had come back to the Hall of Contributions.
He reached out his hand to pat the shoulder of the Hall of Contributions disciple before asking curiously, "What was that kid doing here just now?"
The Hall of Contributions disciple immediately told Ye Xian about Ye Hongtian exchanging the beast corpses for points. This attitude was incomparable to when Ye Hongtian was exchanging points.
"Three rank 2 beast corpses and a rank 3 beast corpse?" Ye Xian asked again in surprise.
"That's right, they are indeed Level 3 and 3."
It wasn't Ye Xian's fault that he didn't believe Ye Hongtian. Rank 3 wild beasts were equal to a human martial artist at the Third Stage of Body Tempering, and Ye Hongtian was only at the peak of Body Tempering Stage Level 2.
"We need to report to big brother that if Hong Tian killed a third level wild beast with his own strength, then he would have the potential to be nurtured by the family."
Ye Xian no longer hesitated and immediately lit a long distance sound transmitting talisman. No one knew what he said in the sound transmitting talisman.
Book Pavilion
Ye Hongtian left the Hall of Contributions and did not return to his cabin. Instead, he went straight to the library. He wanted to use the points he had just exchanged for to rent a martial skill to practice.
There was a recliner at the door of the library. An old man in a linen robe was lying on the recliner. When this old man saw that Ye Hongtian had arrived, he waved to him to come over.
This old man was the manager of the library, everyone called him Old Ying, and he had always been sitting here, I heard that Old Ying was stronger than the current Palace Chief. Ye Hongtian was unable to cultivate, so he often came here to chat with Old Ying, and Old Ying liked Ye Hongtian very much.
"Little brat Ye, it's been a long time since you last came to play with this old man. Come and have a peach to chat with me." Elder Ying smiled kindly as he picked a large peach from the table and gave it to Ye Hongtian.
Ye Hongtian did not accept the peach and said apologetically, "This little brat went out to gain some experience a few days ago, and today he is here to rent a martial skill book to practice. When he is free, he will come back to find you to play chess."
Elder Ying placed the peach back on the table and his face revealed a look of disappointment. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly stared at Ye Hongtian in shock. His mouth was slightly open.
Seeing Old Ying's expression, Ye Hongtian could not help but want to laugh, this expression was exactly the same as Ye Xian's earlier.
"Good kid, it's only been a few days since you've cured your illness and broken through to the peak of body refining second level. You really are a good seedling, today I'll let you enter the second floor to choose a martial skill."
"Thank you, Old Ying!"
Ye Hongtian heard this and was overjoyed. He quickly cupped his fists and bowed to Elder Ying.
