Zhang Ye was stunned, and vaguely seemed to understand why Tan Siqin had been so good to her. In a sense, she herself now was Tan's past.

  "This time the heavenly sign is strange, I will go out of the mountain to check soon. This is what I am worried about." Tan Siqin softened a bit, "Perhaps you don't understand at all, your situation is not good, if you don't make a move to seize power and show your strength, you won't be able to get the true transmission position, and bow under the door of the master's brother. Once I leave, you will die without even leaving any residue."

  "Remember, my disciples." Zhang Ye was drenched in sweat.

  "Stop complaining and stop being afraid, the Immortal Path is even more cruel than the mundane world. Power is revered, the strong rule, and that's why it was left to us like this by our ancestors - only those who can survive among a group of wild beasts are the best. A sect has its own pressures, and must face even greater pressures from other sects outside, this survival pressure directly translates into demands on the disciples under them. Our Master became the leader in such a way, I also came up like that, and even Huo Tianlang emerged through such struggles. Without experiencing storms, how can you mature? Without experiencing bloody battles, you will never cherish life."

  "Without experiencing slaughter, one will never know how to cherish blood." Zhang Ye muttered a sentence.

  "Don't learn from me how to speak." Tan Siqin's good mood didn't last for three minutes before she started putting on a straight face again.

  "Oh." Zhang Ye nodded weakly.

  Tan Siqin said: "Although I can no longer impart any more techniques to you, is there anything you'd like to ask me about your cultivation?"

  "It's gone. I have my own way, my own thoughts." Zhang Ye couldn't help but slightly raise his head with some pride.

  Tan Siqin was slightly taken aback, but didn't get angry at his arrogance. She nodded and said, "That's good then. How is the elixir refining going?"

  Zhang Ye obediently handed over 110 Soul Pellets.

  Just as he was thinking about how much Tang Siqin would deduct from his pay, plop plop plop plop ——

  Tan Siqin's gourd spewed out countless jade vases, with 50 Aggregation Origin Pills in each vase. There were exactly 100 vases, filling the entire courtyard to the brim.

  Zhang Ye was directly stunned into stupidity.

  "The people who bought the Rejuvenation Pill are very satisfied with your refined elixir. This is a special deposit I asked them for, and the remaining balance will be settled slowly. Deducting the 1,000 dan of medicinal materials you took, here is 5,000 as an advance payment, take it yourself." Tan Siqin said.

  Hulu

  Zhang Ye swung his large sleeve, and the elixir was sucked into the gourd. Two pots were left, which he handed over to Tan Siqin with a smile: "Master Uncle, you've been working hard for me, take it to replenish your energy."

  "Scram, trying to bribe me with this trash? Have you gone mad?" Tan Siqin directly ascended into the night sky, not even glancing at the dan medicine.

  Being able to save was a good thing, so Zhang Ye happily put away the two jars of Dan medicine as well.

  Now there are 5,000 elixirs, it's really shocking.

  Zhang Ye thought for a moment, and decided that he could continue using the elixir, and a layer had accumulated.

  Now Zhang Ye's gourd was in the midst of true energy cultivation.

  "As long as I can enter the sixth layer of the foundation, I can fully master the fourth-grade Wind Spirit Sword and the Five Spirits Divine Cauldron. Shi Tianyun, Yang Zheng, just you wait and see how I'll deal with you." Zhang Ye's fists clenched tightly.

  That purple robe which had not been seen for a long time suddenly appeared in the sea of recognition.

  Zhang Ye entered the Sea of Consciousness and asked, "Is there something going on?"

  "What's wrong?" Ziyi slightly tilted her beautiful face and said, "Nothing."

  "What did you come out for?" Zhang Ye asked in surprise.

  "What's going on?" Zi Yi still looked the same, "Nothing, I just kind of like you this way. Just came to take a look."

  Zhang Ye said: "I owe it all to Master Shu's guidance for being able to achieve this state."

  "What is she?" Zi Yi said with a very proud attitude, "She just said some nonsense to deceive you. Who says that the law treasure is useless? She only knows a little."

  Zhang Ye said: "That's right. After all, one's own strength is the most important thing, and the use of magical artifacts depends on oneself."

  "In a soft and gentle tone, 'Take good care of Xiaobao and Jinyu, when they grow up, you can use them as you please.'"

  Zhang Ye said: "Can you tell me what they can do when they grow up?"

  "Zi Yi murmured and shook her head, 'I don't even know what Jinyu will do. But Xiaobao will eat the stars. When one day he "swallows the moon", don't be too surprised. That's just the beginning.'"

  "What!" Zhang Ye was startled and jumped up.

  "There's something strange," Zi Yi said softly. "He doesn't have to eat to survive. With your relationship with him, he will listen to you."

  "What about you? Will you listen to me?" Zhang Ye suddenly asked a strange question.

  "If you live and die together, I will never leave or abandon." Zi Yi slightly raised her face, with an arrogant expression that disdained to go back on her words, "This is what I have said, forever counted as true."

  Zhang Ye said: "By the way, you've been eating and living here for a long time, what can you actually do?"

  "It can't be done." The purple-robed figure shook his head, "My primordial spirit has mostly dissipated and I won't be able to cultivate it back on my own. After sharing with you, the only path left is for you to become stronger. But looking at it from another perspective, once you've become strong, does it make a difference whether I'm here or not?"

  Zhang Ye heard her tone was somewhat strange, and hastily said: "There's a difference. In short, I don't mind you eating and living here, during the time we can't see each other, I'll miss you. It's just that recently you've been hiding, I thought you had achieved some results in your cultivation."

  "Who told you I was cultivating?" Zi Yi said, "I just didn't want to see you."

  "What's going on?" Zhang Ye asked in shock.

  "In a purple robe, without concealment, the way is, 'No reason. When you were infatuated with Lan Tianying, I didn't want to see you. Nor can I blame you, you had to be infatuated with her, this was what you owed her, a man's integrity.'"

  Zi Yi didn't want to bother with him anymore, and instead said, "Now that we have the Dan medicine, it's easier. Next, let's charge into the sixth layer of the foundation in an even more overbearing manner. Remember, you're already dead if you don't fight. If you don't fight, you'll be counted as nothing, but if you do fight, you must be like a lion pouncing on a rabbit, ruling supreme over all."

  "Really." Zhang Ye nodded obediently with a cute expression.

  "Xiao Bao won't be able to eat four-rank spiritual treasures for now, and his growth will slow down for a period of time. Jinyu might not be useful in the Sword Trial Assembly. Only when you enter the sixth layer of Foundation Building can you truly master Ten Steps One Kill, at that time, you'll be able to disregard any spiritual treasure below six-rank."

  Zi Yi finished speaking and disappeared, returning to Bahuagou to meditate.

  Zhang's unprecedented confidence rose, now at the fifth layer of foundation building. In fact, the feeling below, the thickness of his Fa power, is already comparable to that of a first-layer Split Spirit.

  Zhang Ye's meridian physique is special, his foundation is thicker than ordinary people, which means he has a larger base. This isn't very noticeable at the lower levels, but as you go higher up, the multiplier effect becomes more and more apparent.

  When he was building his foundation at the second level, his magical power could match that of others who had built their foundation at the third level. Now that he has reached the fifth level, his true energy has completely surpassed those who have reached the sixth level.

  Strictly speaking, the score is a bit short of one layer. After all, building a foundation to dividing gods has crossed a major threshold, and this difference in thresholds cannot be fully described by quantity, there is a certain qualitative gap.
