Build a family of immortality from the blood slaves of the Demon Sect.

Chapter 242 Sect Secret
No, to be honest, why doesn’t anyone believe it?
However, it was really hard to believe that a fourth-grade talisman master at such a young age could be in the foundation-building stage. Seeing Yu Meizi accept the talisman, Ye Yunqi was too lazy to argue.

After parting with Yu Meizi, Ye Yunqi thought to himself that he was now on the brink of this treacherous battle situation. Although he had not yet faced the sharp edge of the evil cultivators, once he was involved, if he did not have powerful means to protect himself, he would find it difficult to protect himself, let alone help the righteous path to repel the enemy.

Now, his most powerful means is to draw a fourth-grade talisman, and the talisman is undoubtedly the best solution to enhance his defense and attack power. However, his own cultivation level is still far from enough compared to the requirements for drawing such a high-level talisman.

The last time I was able to draw a fourth-grade talisman, it was only with the help of the power of the Soul Gathering and Reincarnation Pill that I was able to barely draw it.

Thinking back to the energy he had put into drawing talismans after taking the pills last time, Ye Yunqi felt more and more that if he used pills to assist in drawing talismans, the pills he needed could only be better than the Soul Gathering and Returning Pill, and could not be worse than the Soul Gathering and Returning Pill.

He straightened his robe and headed straight for Xuqing Peak along the winding mountain path.

The peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist, magical herbs are swaying gracefully, and the fragrance of elixirs is everywhere, just like a fairyland.

Arriving at the cave abode of the peak master Dan Xuzi, Ye Yunqi bowed and reported loudly. After a moment, the cave door slowly opened, and Dan Xuzi's immortal appearance appeared before him, but his expression revealed a bit of fatigue. It seemed that he had been busy in recent days preparing the supply of elixirs for the war.

"Master Danxuzi Peak, Ye Yunqi is sorry to see you." Ye Yunqi bowed respectfully.

Dan Xuzi raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite, and said with a faint smile: "Young friend Ye, what brings you here?"

Although Ye Yunqi's external identity is a third-grade talisman master, he is not much inferior to a third-grade alchemy master.

But after all, their age and cultivation are still young. Dan Xuzi is already a veteran Jindan Zhenjun, while Ye Yunqi is just a person who has just entered the middle stage of foundation building.

Plus, Ye Yunqi himself was just a deacon.

The status of the peak master is equivalent to that of an elder, so it is reasonable for Danxuzi to call him "young friend".

Ye Yunqi did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Master Danfeng, I'm in urgent need of the Soul Gathering and Infant Rejuvenation Pill, so I came here to buy it."

Upon hearing this, Dan Xuzi frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed: "Friend Ye, the war is getting intense right now. The demand for pills like the Soul Gathering and Rejuvenating Pill, which are very effective in fighting, has increased dramatically. The price has already risen sharply, and the supply is scarce, and the demand cannot meet the supply. If you want to buy pills for ordinary cultivation, it's not a big deal. After all, everyone is focusing on the war and has no time to take care of daily cultivation. I do have a lot of stock. But this Soul Gathering and Rejuvenating Pill... Sigh..."

Ye Yunqi's heart sank, and his face showed anxiety, but he still said earnestly: "Master Danfeng, the price is not a problem, I need it urgently."

Dan Xuzi looked at Ye Yunqi and nodded slightly, as if he had weighed the pros and cons before saying, "You and I are both third-grade technicians, and we should support each other. But to be honest, we really don't have any supplies right now. We just finished refining a furnace to supply the front line, and the medicinal materials have been used up. It's still unknown when the new batch will be ready."

"If the elixir is completed in the future, I will definitely leave one for you, Mr. Ye."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunqi became extremely anxious and thought to himself: Only one will be left?
However, Ye Yunqi also knew that once the war broke out, such supplies would be under the sect's control. Dan Xuzi was already doing enough good by forcibly leaving one for Ye Yunqi.

Ye Yunqi knew that it would be difficult to achieve his wish here, so he decided to find another way.

An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he thought that among all the people in the sect, only the sect leader Wen Tingyu had the ability to allocate resources and coordinate everything. He was in charge of all the affairs of the sect, big and small, and perhaps he could solve this urgent problem.

So he hurriedly said goodbye to Dan Xuzi, turned around and rushed towards the sect master's hall.

Ye Yunqi walked to the front of the hall, reported his request for an audience, and was then led into the hall.

Wen Tingyu was sitting in the hall, discussing strategies for dealing with the war with several elders. When he saw Ye Yunqi coming in, his expression eased a little and he asked, "Master Ye is here. What brings you here in such a hurry?"

Ye Yunqi looked at the elders and said, "I have something important to discuss with the Sect Master alone."

Ye Yunqi felt that he was a little abrupt, but unexpectedly, Wen Tingyu agreed readily: "Okay. We have almost finished discussing it, so let's do it accordingly. All elders, please go away."

Afterwards, Wen Tingyu dismissed all the elders and took Ye Yunqi to a quiet room to discuss in detail.

Ye Yunqi was nervous, knowing that in order to obtain enough support from elixirs and attract the attention of the sect's top leaders, he had to reveal some "trump cards".

Especially the Soul Gathering and Rejuvenating Pill, one pill can almost instantly restore the Golden Core True Lord to his peak combat power, and in the battle, it can sometimes almost reverse the situation.

But no matter how miraculous the third-grade elixir is, it is obviously inferior to the fourth-grade talisman. The power unleashed by a fourth-grade talisman is comparable to the full-strength attack of a Nascent Soul ancestor. If used well, it can kill anyone, not to mention a Golden Elixir True Lord.

Even if there are ten of them, they will vanish into thin air.

Ye Yunqi considered it over and over again, and finally gritted his teeth and revealed that he had been promoted to a fourth-grade talisman master.

After saying this, Ye Yunqi felt a little regretful. He should not have given out the fourth-grade talisman first. Now that he had no real evidence, it would be extremely difficult to convince the sect master.

However, Wen Tingyu did not hesitate at all. A mixture of surprise and confidence instantly flashed in his eyes, and he nodded in approval without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ye Yunqi was full of suspicion, wondering how this matter could go so smoothly. He had already prepared many excuses, intending to elaborate on the details of the talisman and draw a heart to prove that what he said was true. But now it was like hitting cotton with a fist, and it was useless.

He naturally didn't know that in Wen Tingyu's heart, he had already been certain that Ye Yunqi was the powerful being who had reincarnated and cultivated again.

Not to mention the title of a mere fourth-grade talisman master, even if Ye Yunqi said that he had reached the fifth or sixth grade in the art of talismans, Wen Tingyu would believe it without a doubt.

Even now, when they heard Ye Yunqi call himself a fourth-grade talisman master, they only thought that Ye Yunqi's cultivation was still shallow and he was trapped by the shackles of spiritual power. He could only borrow the power of third-grade elixirs and barely display the ability of a fourth-grade talisman master, so he called himself fourth-grade.

Perhaps his true realm of talismans is far more than this.

"Master Ye, you are so capable, it is a blessing for our sect and the righteous path!" Wen Tingyu stood up and strode towards Ye Yunqi, putting his hands heavily on his shoulders, full of enthusiasm and expectation. "The current battle situation is fierce, you can stand up and not be afraid of hardships. It is rare and you should be credited with a great contribution. In this case, how can I not support you?"

After saying this, he paced with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn and resolute, "Don't worry, I will immediately send out orders to mobilize all the relevant medicinal materials in the sect to supply Danxuzi with all his strength to refine the elixir. Your needs will be guaranteed first, without any hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunqi's heart surged, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying gratefully: "Master, I am grateful for your kindness. Since I have received such support from the sect, I will do my best to use the power of the talisman to help my righteous path turn the tide of the battle."

Wen Tingyu nodded slightly, his eyes burning: "Yes, Master Ye, the sect will do its best to help you, and we also hope that you will think of the collective. When you draw the fourth-grade talisman, you need to share a part of it with the sect to equip our sect's elite and rush to the front line, so that we can have a better chance of defeating the enemy on the battlefield." Ye Yunqi responded without hesitation: "The sect master is right, I understand, I think so too."

If you want to draw a fourth-grade talisman by yourself, the third-grade elixir will be enough to stump you.

Since I have relied on the sect, it is impossible for me not to repay the sect.

The two discussed many details in detail. Since the sect master gave his full support, Ye Yunqi did not need to buy the third-grade elixirs and some materials needed to draw the spells himself, and the sect would directly distribute them.

And Ye Yunqi only needs to submit a part of the fourth-grade talismans in return.

Outsiders don't know the success rate of Ye Yunqi's painting. In addition, Wen Tingyu wants to make friends with Ye Yunqi, so naturally he uses an extremely loose ratio.

Five pills in exchange for a fourth-grade talisman.

The corresponding consumables of talisman paper and talisman ink are almost unlimited in supply.

If we say that the third-grade talisman master is the one who rapidly expands the combat power of the Jindan period, he can be considered the backbone.

The fourth-grade talisman master can also influence the outcome of the battle.

No one wants to fight the enemy, Jindan against Jindan, and then the opponent suddenly bursts out with a Yuanying level attack, right?
After everything was discussed, Ye Yunqi said goodbye and left.

After returning to the cave, Ye Yunqi did not slack off at all. He immediately went into seclusion to practice quietly and consolidate the foundation of his spiritual power while waiting for the elixir to be delivered.

During this period, Wen Tingyu acted decisively and his orders were spread throughout the sect like wildfire.

The deacons in charge of the management of medicinal materials shuttled between the warehouse and the medicine garden, taking inventory, checking, and carefully selecting, and collected the high-quality medicinal materials that were suitable for the refining of the Soul Gathering and Reincarnation Pill one by one, and transported them to the Danxuzi Cave Mansion on Xuqing Peak in a steady stream.

Dan Xuzi actually didn't know about the fourth-grade talisman.

Now that the war is intense, it is understandable that the sect is in urgent need of corresponding elixirs.

They only knew that it was the order from the clan leader, so no one dared to delay.

Dan Xuzi naturally ignited the fire in the alchemy furnace, adjusted the temperature, controlled the medicinal ingredients, and concentrated on refining, striving to produce sufficient pills as quickly as possible.

But during the refining process, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Ye Yunqi had wanted to buy this elixir before, and now the entire sect is making full efforts to prepare for it. Could there be some connection?
However, these pills were urgently needed on the battlefield, so Dan Xuzi gave up the idea and regarded it as a coincidence. He also sent a message to Ye Yunqi, informing him that the Soul Gathering and Reincarnation Pill would be produced soon and he could leave one for Ye Yunqi then.

After Ye Yunqi received the message, he originally wanted to refuse, but this refusal seemed somewhat deliberate.

So he responded that he was in seclusion practicing and would look for Danxuzi to buy it after he came out.

Wen Tingyu did not reveal the fact that Ye Yunqi was a fourth-grade talisman master.

However, as the leader of a sect, Wen Tingyu is very busy with many affairs, and sometimes he finds it difficult to take care of Ye Yunqi.

After thinking it over again and again and obtaining Ye Yunqi's consent, he found a free time and told the secret to the Nascent Soul Ancestor Duanmu Qingyuan.

"Brother Duanmu, I'm here to talk to you about something important." Wen Tingyu looked serious, and raised his hand to set up a soundproof barrier to ensure that this conversation would not fall into the ears of others. "Ye Yunqi of our sect has an amazing talent in the art of talismans. He can already refine fourth-grade talismans. This is a secret of our sect and is related to the direction of the war. Now I entrust it to you. In the future, you will be responsible for delivering the Soul Gathering and Reincarnation Pills, talisman paper and talisman ink. When he finishes drawing, the talisman will also be given to you to deliver. You and I will work together to help him maximize his effectiveness."

Duanmu Qingyuan was stunned when he heard this, but then a mixture of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes. Although he found it a bit unbelievable, he still responded, "Ye Yunqi? Since it is what the sect master said, then this matter must be true. I will definitely do my best to protect Master Ye and ensure that the talisman is produced smoothly."

Time flies like a white horse passing by. In Danxuzi's cave, the alchemy furnace has been burning for many days. Amidst the smoke and fire, the Soul Gathering and Reincarnation Pill is finally freshly produced.

Duanmu Qingyuan went to the alchemy room in person, carefully stored the pills, and then rushed to Ye Yunqi's cave without stopping.

In front of the cave, Duanmu Qingyuan raised his hand and knocked on the door. After Ye Yunqi opened the restriction and appeared, he handed over the pill and looked at the young man in front of him with complicated eyes.

That look showed both admiration and expectation for his talent in the art of talismans, but also some indescribable and complex thoughts from an elegant old father.

When Duanmu Ya and Ye Yunqi were in close contact before, Duanmu Qingyuan was not happy to see it. Now that Duanmu Ya is in seclusion practicing and Ye Yunqi is busy with his own things, the two seem to have become more distant, which makes Duanmu Qingyuan feel uncomfortable.

Ye Yunqi was concentrating on drawing the talisman and did not study the deep meaning of that look. He took the pill, bowed hurriedly to express his gratitude, and turned back to the cave to meditate.

Inside the cave, it was quiet and silent, with only Ye Yunqi's steady breathing remaining.

He swallowed the pill, and the medicinal power rushed through his meridians like a warm current. In addition, with the help of the soul-strengthening item given by Qingyue Sect, the painting process went much more smoothly this time.

In the past, when I drew fourth-grade talismans, I often fainted due to the impact of spiritual power and the excessive burden on my soul. But now, I am just left with fatigue all over my body, just like a person who has been carrying a heavy load on a long journey and finally has to rest.

Fortunately, there is still some power in the Soul Gathering and Rejuvenating Pill. The medicinal power is repairing the lost spiritual power and nourishing the tired body. The feeling of weakness is receding like the tide. In just a moment, he can recover 70% to 80% of his energy. He only needs to rest for a while before he can fight again.

Ye Yunqi was thoughtful and after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to adopt the method of rotation painting.

Start with drawing a third-grade talisman to use it to exhaust the spiritual energy in your body, just like cleaning an old house, cleansing out the impurities and impure parts of the spiritual energy, reabsorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, solidifying your own spiritual foundation, and when the state is perfect, you can start drawing a fourth-grade talisman. Repeating this cycle can also minimize the disadvantages of taking drugs.

Deep inside the sect, Wen Tingyu invited Duanmu Qingyuan to the quiet room. The scent of tea was wafting in the air, but the atmosphere was strangely solemn.

Wen Tingyu sipped his tea, raised his eyes and looked directly at Duanmu Qingyuan, and said straight to the point: "Brother Duanmu, you and I have known each other for many years, so I will be frank. Yaya and Ye Yunqi are both close friends, and it seems that he has other intentions. You also know Ye Yunqi's ability. Now I think the two of them are really a good match, and I want to bring them together. What do you think?"
