Zhang Ye said: "Sister, don't decline. These things are nothing to me now. The flying sword you gave me before I left the mountain saved my life. I wasn't able to keep it either."
Xu Ying thought for a moment, since it was her own people, she didn't decline much and accepted the hundred dan medicines.
It seems that she also has a lot of things she wants to say but can't, so Zhang Ye, who was originally going to probe about the master's sister, didn't want to make things difficult for Xu Ying either.
After all, it was the Sect Master's personal decree, and Eldest Senior Sister was the Sect Master's treasured disciple. Since the Sect Master had done so, there must be some hidden reason behind it. It wasn't something that Xun Ying dared to defy.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Ye simply said without asking any questions, "Xu Ying shifu is busy, I'll leave first. If there's anything, you know where to find me, as long as I, Zhang Ye, can do it, just speak up."
Zhang Ye turned around and left.
"Take care of yourself too, Master is not around, don't be so impulsive." Xǔ Yíng said to his back.
Back in the small courtyard, Zhang Ye intensified his cultivation.
Today, I accidentally offended another true disciple. This Tang Tianluo only appeared once, and Zhang Ye had a feeling that his strength far surpassed Shi Tianyun's. At least it was above the second level of the Divide Spirit Realm. If it weren't for Tan Siqin Shifu who cared about me on top, I really don't know what would have happened.
It was also at this time that the purple-robed man, who had been silent for a long time, taught Zhang Ye an even more overbearing cultivation method.
It's actually very simple, just rely on a large amount of Yuan Dan.
Juyuan Dan is just a restorative medicine, in principle, when the true qi has not been depleted, taking Juyuan Dan is useless. However, there is an exception, that is during the circulation of true qi, all the true qi rushes out from the dan tian and circulates, if at this time, taking a large amount of Juyuan Dan can temporarily cheat some external true qi into joining the circulation.
But this is a bit overbearing, equivalent to using 100% of the usual true energy, overloading the meridians and tempering the inner body.
Many people know about this overbearing method, but first, it's too painful, and second, the consumption of elixirs required is not a small amount, so there are very few cultivators who can bear it.
At this moment, Zhang Ye only wanted to focus on getting stronger and didn't care about anything else. His pouch was still quite full, but he had to quickly advance to the fifth layer of Foundation Building in order to control the Five Spirits Divine Cauldron and refine pills.
Having made all the preparations, Zhang Ye swallowed ten Yuanyuan Dan at the same time and began to circulate his true energy, subjecting his meridians to a massive impact.
Under this overbearing method, the true energy within is like a wild horse galloping, extremely difficult to tame, and it impacts the meridians like a tidal wave.
An hour passed, suddenly - bang bang bang -
The thought moved, this time twenty Gathering Yuan Dan flew out of the gourd and entered Zhang Ye's mouth. The true energy became even more violent.
Zhang Ye has a big heart, but he is also very meticulous and not blindly increasing the load. He has more intuition, always maintaining his strongest impact force that he can control, tempering his inner body...
For twelve consecutive days, Zhang Ye made rapid progress with great courage and perseverance, consuming more than 800 Gathering Yuan Pills when his vital energy surged upward violently.
A loud rumble in the mind, followed by a comfortable body, and in the vast and boundless meridians, a more refined true energy flows slowly.
This is the fifth layer of foundation building.
Zhang Ye felt a new realm.
Quietly thinking back, there was indeed a little fear after the breakthrough. Before that, it seemed like I was betting with my own body, engaging in a high-stakes gamble.
Now that he has succeeded, on the contrary, Zhang Ye can think of the consequences if he had failed, which is even more frightening.
Hoo-hoo!
Zhang Ye swung his hands in the small courtyard, and the Great Heavenly Net Hand under this realm was even more controlled by heart. The wind sound brought about was scattered, and the palm shadow was continuous and uninterrupted, which was different from before.
Not bad.
With the power gathered, Zhang Ye had confidence now and could finally use the Ten Steps One Kill technique. Although it was still far from perfect, at least he wouldn't be like a dead man after using it, struggling to even take medicine.
"Don't be too pleased with your current progress, the long road ahead will slow you down." The voice of the purple-robed figure rose in his mind, "In the fifth layer of foundation building, you consumed 800聚元丹. As you go further, the bottleneck of insufficient quality of your cultivation technique will become more apparent. Moreover, as you ascend to higher levels, the amount of elixirs required will be terrifying."
Zhang Ye was splashed with a basin of cold water and calmed down. It really was surprising enough.
If it weren't for oneself, an ordinary inner sect disciple who has established a foundation would normally offer 50 Gathering Origin Pills per month. It's unbearable to go through such hardships.
The last time I planted the Four Spirit Emperor Grass, there were still a hundred portions left. Spending some money to buy auxiliary medicinal materials can refine a hundred Spirit Emperor Pills, which would be another great fortune, equivalent to more than 10,000 Aggregated Origin Pills.
In addition, after entering the fifth layer of foundation building, the accumulation and recovery speed of Fa Li have slowed down significantly compared to before. Due to the grade of the Fa Jue, although it can still be improved, this restrictive feeling will become more pronounced as one progresses further. A new Fa Jue is necessary.
Zhang Ye didn't delay and immediately entered the Seven Treasures Gourd. He gently stroked the Five Spirits Divine Cauldron, sensing everything about it.
Before long, Zhang Ye and the Divine Cauldron established communication. After they had a preliminary understanding of each other, the Five-Spirit Divine Cauldron seemed to be very arrogant and didn't want to bother with Zhang Ye at first. However, Zhang Ye was patient when dealing with objects, plants, and flowers, and his harmless and gentle nature eventually moved the Five-Spirit Divine Cauldron on the fourth day of their communication.
Afterwards, the law power was injected, and the Five Spirits Divine Cauldron flickered with colorful rays of light, transforming into a large dan furnace that was three times more majestic than the God Wood King Cauldron.
This is a very special design, with five yang fire arrays inside, which is the unique design of a high person, and has two separate fire arrays. The upper part of the tripod mouth forms a product word shape, distributed in three units. This means that using this five-spirit divine tripod, you can refine three spiritual pills at once.
"Alright, alright!"
Zhang Ye was very excited, a fifth-grade treasure was extraordinary, everywhere showed grandeur, this time the efficiency was much higher.
Zhang Ye wasn't busy refining the elixir, his palm stuck to the cauldron, and he poured in his true energy, trying to control this more complex Five Yang Fire Array.
The consumption is slightly higher than the original Four Yang Fire Formation, but not significantly so. Coupled with Zhang Ye's strength having increased by two levels since then, his understanding of alchemy and control over the fire timing have become even more precise, making it seem effortless.
At that time Zhang Ye left the Seven Treasures Gourd and went to the Inner Gate Medicine Management Office, where he found Xu Ying who was busy.
Lowering her head while creating a book, Xu Ying occasionally raised her head and smiled: "Do you have something to look for me?"
Zhang Ye hesitated for a moment before saying: "I need some medicinal herbs, but it's inconvenient to go down the mountain to buy them now. I was thinking..."
"I understand. Master Tan Siqin has instructed that you can take the medicinal materials from here without any worries." Xu Ying smiled and said, "I will record it, Master Tan Siqin said she will come to settle accounts with you for the medicinal materials taken at market price."
Zhang Ye thought for a moment, "Tang Siqin, isn't it that you're thinking too much?"
"What is it? What do you want?" Xǔ Yíng asked with a smile.
