Zhang Ye fainted and slept until the early hours of the next day. Unbeknownst to him, his breathing became more refined and gentle, and the luster on his skin became even more pronounced.

  When Zhang Ye got up and stretched his waist, he only felt that his body was better than usual, his mind was more transparent, and his body had further condensed.

  The fierce fire golden body is indeed magical, and there's such a huge effect after just one cultivation? Zhang Ye's confidence grew even more.

  "Of course." A voice in purple clothes came, "You're an anomaly, ordinary people can't practice like this, even if they are true disciples of the Dà Mén Pài sect, they may not have so many elixirs to waste."

  "That is to say, immortals also need great fate and great karma."

  "Me too." The purple-robed figure nodded slightly...

  A few days later, Zhang Ye made rapid and tremendous progress at an unbelievable speed.

  Don't worry about anything during this period. It's the eve of the Swordsmanship Competition, and Tan Siqin is taking great care to protect Zhang Ye. No one dares to cause trouble.

  Tan Siqin came over halfway and left 9,000 yuan gathering pills, which is considered the final number. Because the Spring Swordsmanship Competition is about to start soon, Tan Siqin did not urge Zhang Ye to refine the pills either.

  Now entering the gourd, looking at the piled-up Jiyuan Dan like a small mountain, Zhang Ye felt like a super-rich master. He couldn't help but laugh and drool.

  The practice of Lihuo Jinxin is also extremely frightening in terms of the consumption of dan medicine. Indeed, as Zi Yi said, even true disciples of super-large sects do not dare to play like this. In just one day, in order to be fully cultivated, 400 dan medicines need to be consumed, which is too perverted.

  And Purple Robe said that when it comes to the final breakthrough, one must launch a tripled amount of force.

  Feeling Zi Yi's more frantic urging than before, Zhang Ye also raised a question: "Why are you suddenly in such a hurry?"

  Zi Yi said a shocking sentence: "We don't have much time left, we're both going to die soon."

  "What's going on?"

  "Your innate talent is outstanding, your comprehension is heaven-gifted, and your physique is special. Originally, you should be a rare genius that appears only once in ten thousand years. However, geniuses often suffer from heavenly jealousy, and their lifespan will be shorter than ordinary people. Furthermore, you have lived in the most harsh conditions for many years, unable to eat or sleep well, and without true energy to protect your body, allowing cold and damp air to invade repeatedly, causing further loss of your already limited lifespan. If I haven't misjudged, if you don't break through to the Golden Elixir stage, you won't live past 36 years old. When I shared my lifespan with you, you had less than 20 years left. Due to some reasons, it was emptied by me. If not for your senior sister using her Golden Elixir true yuan to assist me, I wouldn't have woken up that time, and you would have died a normal death."

  "Big sister..." Zhang Ye muttered a sentence, on the contrary, he wasn't too worried about Shouyuan.

  "Right now our true yuan is tied together, one life depending on the other. If I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't be more than a year."

  Zhang Ye said: "Legend has it that only by breaking through the Golden Elixir can one truly communicate with the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, break through the limit of longevity. In that case, if we don't succeed in forming the elixir within a year, we'll all be dead."

  "Shaking her head, Ziyi said, 'Reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in a year is a fantasy, that's impossible. The higher you go, the slower it gets. Plus your physique is special, with too thick of a foundation, future advancements will be extremely difficult. Think about it, when you first broke through to the Qi Refining stages one, two, and three, how easy was it? Even last time when you broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage four, it only took eight hundred Gathering Yuan Pills, but now...'"

  "What can be done to make up for the loss of Shouyuan's lifespan?"

  "The path to immortality is faintly visible," said Ziyi softly. "Refining the elixir is your only chance. Once you obtain the true transmission position, with more time and energy, you can borrow the power of Jinyu and Huichuntang. If we have a better crucible then, I'll teach you how to refine new elixirs."

  Zhang Ye couldn't help but sigh softly. Now almost all of his treasures were staked on whether he could win the championship or not...

  Time passes day by day like this.

  Recently, the sect has been relatively calm, as Tan Siqin said, everyone is working hard to prepare. The Sword Trial Assembly is held only once every four years and is an important moment for low-ranking disciples to show off their talents and showcase their gifts, whether they can escape the sea of suffering with one blow.

  Xu Ying was also preparing, her innate talent was average, but she had good relationships. In the past, with the help of her senior sister, she barely succeeded in building her foundation. This was also her first time thinking about making a name for herself at the Sword Trial Assembly.

  During this time, Zhang Ye came to Xu Ying's place several times, each time leaving some Ju Yuan Dan.

  Zhang Ye's sudden move could scare people to death. With one throw, it was like a whole table had been overturned. It often left Xu Ying staring with her eyes wide open, not knowing what to say.

  Xu Ying's opportunity was not enough, her understanding was not enough, and she couldn't improve her skills in the same way as Zhang Ye, so even if she had more Yuanyuan Dan, it would be of no use for the time being. Each time, she just took a bottle of 50 pills, that's all.

  Zhang Ye came to visit Xu Ying again. Zhang Ye said: "How's your recent practice?"

  Xu Ying sighed and said, "Sister, I'm stupid, wasting Elder Sister's efforts. Since building the foundation, these days have never given up trying, barely entering the second layer of building the foundation. Winning the championship in the Sword Competition is hopeless now. Now all our hopes are on you, you must not disappoint us."

  "Build two layers." Zhang Ye looked a bit embarrassed.

  His original idea was that if Xu Ying's cultivation was a bit higher, he could give the Wind Spirit Sword to Xu Ying Shizi to use, and with proper application, she would also have good results. Although there were only two places for promotion to True Disciple, as long as one ranked in the top ten, they would receive a good reward. However, for an ordinary person, the minimum requirement for wielding the 4th-grade Wind Spirit Sword was to have reached the 4th layer of Foundation Establishment; otherwise, the risk of backlash was too great.

  Unfortunately, all three treasures were eaten by that little treasure. In a hurry, Zhang Ye thought, he couldn't let his master sister, such a good person, run naked at the sword-testing meeting.

  Xu Ying didn't know what this normally harmless little guy was thinking, and asked: "Ye, what's wrong?"

  "No. Master, I'll go first. I want to take a walk in the inner courtyard and get some medicinal materials. I'm going to refine my elixir again." Zhang Ye said.

  Xu Ying nodded, "You be careful not to offend anyone. Now that side I can no longer intervene, not only did Yang Zheng return to take charge of things. It's said that Shi Tianyun, who was stripped of his true transmission position, has also entered the Nei Men Zhixingyuan. The various forces are now in a fierce struggle, and with Big Sister not around, we must be cautious."

  "I understand, Sister." Zhang nodded obediently.

  After leaving Xu Ying's small courtyard, Zhang Ye hurriedly rushed to the Inner Gate Executive Court.

  Zhang Ye is an inner sect disciple and should be under the management of the Executive House. However, Zhang Ye rarely comes. Because he is now in charge of the fourth-grade medicine field of Tai Xuan Men, which was previously taken care of by the true transmission disciples themselves.

  The four types of medicinal herbs no longer need to be associated with the Inner Gate Chamber, which were previously managed by Master Lan Tianying. Now, Tan Siqin has reclaimed this right back to the Commanding Sacred Hall.

  The last hundred four-product Ling Huangcao I planted myself has been used up. Zhang Ye's own ten-acre field is not much left, and there is a little bit of idle land, about half an acre. If we seize the time, we can still plant another forty Ling Huangcao.

  Zhang Ye planted Ling Huang Cao, with just three products of seeds can be planted four products, so to come to the inner door execution institute to take seeds.
