"A treasure like the He Shi Bi is coveted by so many forces and so many people. I am a man in the martial arts world who has not even joined any force. In front of ordinary people, I can barely call myself a master, but how can I have the qualifications and strength to compete with those people for the He Shi Bi? I..." Ye Xiu seemed to want Zhu Yuyan to believe him, so he kept talking, trying hard to prove his innocence.

While he kept repeating that he did not have the He Shi Bi, Ye Xiu's internal Qi was secretly flowing and his body was secretly gathering strength.

"Don't worry. It doesn't matter whether the He's Jade is in your hands or not, because I have no interest in the He's Jade." Zhu Yuyan saw Ye Xiu's actions and said with a half-smile on her face.

"Huh?" Ye Xiu didn't believe Zhu Yuyan's words at all. If she had no interest in the He Shi Bi, why would she show up here in person?

Moreover, considering the relationship between Yingui Sect and Cihang Jingzhai, even if Zhu Yuyan really didn't want the Heshi Bi, she would definitely oppose anything Cihang Jingzhai wanted to do.

Not to mention, the Yingui Sect was also secretly building up its power, and even among those forces that rebelled within the Sui Dynasty, some were supported by the Yingui Sect.

So, when Zhu Yuyan said that she didn't want the He's Jade, Ye Xiu thought that Zhu Yuyan was lying.

"I know you think I might be lying, but as long as the He's Jade doesn't fall into the hands of Cihang Jingzhai in the end, it doesn't matter who holds the He's Jade. So even if you get the He's Jade, I will only feel happy." Zhu Yuyan seemed to want to see Cihang Jingzhai get into trouble. As long as Cihang Jingzhai's plan failed, Zhu Yuyan would be very happy. As for who would have the He's Jade in the end, she seemed to really not care at all.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. After all, there's no way a thing like the He Shi Bi would appear in the hands of a nobody like me." Ye Xiu continued to deny.

He didn't care whether what Zhu Yuyan said was true or false, he would never tell anyone that the He Shi Bi was in his hands.

At the same time, Ye Xiu was still in a state of being ready to strike at any time.

Facing the great monk Huiming before, Ye Xiu had no way to deal with it, after all, the other party might be a great master of astronomical phenomena.

However, Zhu Yuyan had only recently broken through to become a grandmaster, and was considered the lowest level grandmaster of the Vajra Realm.

With Ye Xiu's own combat capability, if he can use the He's Bi well, Ye Xiu might be able to use the power of the He's Bi to successfully kill Zhu Yuyan.

As Ye Xiu did this, a slight murderous intent arose in his heart. Although Zhu Yuyan was very beautiful, especially her charming and seductive aura of a mature woman, Ye Xiu was not the kind of person who could not walk when seeing beauty. When it was time to attack, Ye Xiu would never hesitate, and even when he had to use all his strength, Ye Xiu would not hold back at all, as Ye Xiu had to be responsible for his own life.

"Okay, it doesn't matter whether you have the He's Bi in your hand or not. It seems that you are very wary of me, but don't worry, I don't have any ill will towards you." Zhu Yuyan's body was also in a state of alert.

After all, Zhu Yuyan knew that Ye Xiu did not have much affection for her at the moment. More importantly, Ye Xiu had defeated Le Kong, whose strength was almost comparable to that of a grandmaster, in Jingnian Zen Temple.

In Zhu Yuyan's mind, no matter what method Ye Xiu used, at least he almost had the ability to threaten her.

Therefore, when facing Ye Xiu, whose attitude is uncertain, Zhu Yuyan also needs to be wary of Ye Xiu.

When Ye Xiu heard Zhu Yuyan say again that she had no ill will towards him, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

The leader of the evil sect Yingui faction, who is also a subordinate of Pang Ban, would have no ill will towards me?

Even if Ye Xiu felt that Zhu Yuyan did not know her true identity, the He Shi Bi in his hand alone would make Zhu Yuyan feel hostile towards him.

Zhu Yuyan realized that her words had no effect on Ye Xiu. She knew that if she continued, the situation might even get worse.

Without Ye Xiu's approval and before she could guarantee that she had no ill will towards Ye Xiu, Zhu Yuyan found that she could hardly take any correct measures.

"I can see that you are very wary of me." Zhu Yuyan said after a moment of hesitation.

"How could that be?" Ye Xiu quickly rejected it.

"Don't rush to reject it. After all, if you have a treasure like the He's Jade in your hands, you will naturally be wary of anyone except yourself."

"I--"

"Don't deny it. Since I said so, I am sure of it. But don't worry, I really don't have any ill will towards you. Moreover, I also know that in addition to the symbol of imperial power it represents, the He Shi Bi itself is also a treasure with magical energy. Even the treasures it contains can make a person cleanse his or her marrow and completely change a person's qualifications. It can make a mediocre person into a genius, or turn a genius into a monster. I think, since you are not a person of any power, then you will get the He Shi Bi naturally for its ability to cleanse your marrow and hair." Zhu Yuyan's eyes flickered, and she simply told Ye Xiu what she saw in Ye Xiu's diary.

Ye Xiu was shocked. He didn't expect Zhu Yuyan to know that the Heshi Bi could cleanse the hair and marrow. Ye Xiu's heart skipped a beat.

He felt that since Zhu Yuyan knew this function of the He Shi Bi, she had even less reason to give up the He Shi Bi.

The true energy in Ye Xiu's body was circulating rapidly, almost like a spring that was compressed to the bottom and would bounce back the next moment.

Just as Ye Xiu was about to throw the package in his hand, and taking advantage of Zhu Yuyan's attention being attracted by the package, he launched a sneak attack on Zhu Yuyan, trying to kill her here.

Unexpectedly, before Ye Xiu could take action, Zhu Yuyan retreated backwards.

"To prove that I have no ill will towards you, I will leave now. I will come back to you after you find a safe place and use the He Shi Bi to cleanse your hair and marrow." While Zhu Yuyan was speaking, she had already floated away. Within a few cups of tea, she had disappeared from Ye Xiu's sight.

Ye Xiu was stunned, Ye Xiu was dumbfounded, Ye Xiu was stupid.

Ye Xiu felt that Zhu Yuyan was really inexplicable.

He's Jade! This kind of thing, not to mention the fact that it represents the imperial power, the He's Jade's ability to remove the hair and marrow alone would have supreme appeal to people in the martial arts world.

Zhu Yuyan, though she knew clearly the effect of the He Shi Bi, was able to retreat calmly. When she left, she didn't even have the slightest bit of reluctance.

Ye Xiu frowned. He even suspected that Zhu Yuyan was just pretending. In fact, Zhu Yuyan was hiding in the dark and might attack him at any time in order to snatch the He Shi Bi from him.

Ye Xiu didn't bother to hide his thoughts. The true energy in his body changed its route, and his perception was instantly stimulated. Then he began to try to use his perception to find Zhu Yuyan's whereabouts.

However, as he was rushing, Zhu Yuyan's figure was moving away quickly. After a few breaths, Zhu Yuyan had completely left his perception range.

"Could it be that Zhu Yuyan really won't be tempted by the He Shi Bi? Especially since she herself knows that the He Shi Bi has the ability to cleanse the hair and marrow, and can make a genius become more talented or even a demon. Zhu Yuyan is really not tempted at all?" Ye Xiu's doubts grew bigger and bigger.

In fact, Zhu Yuyan was certainly coveting the Heshi Bi.

Zhu Yuyan also wanted to use the He Shi Bi to improve her qualifications.

Even if the energy of the He Shi Bi cleanses her body and makes her pure, she might be able to ignore the flaws of the Heavenly Demon Art. Then, relying on her own efforts, she can transform from a Vajra Realm Grandmaster to a Zhixuan Realm Grandmaster, and then to a Celestial Phenomenon Grandmaster.

What's more, Zhu Yuyan even had a slight delusion of becoming a celestial being.

However, Zhu Yuyan was not so clear about the effect of Heshi Bi in removing hair and marrow.

What if the effect of the He Shi Bi in removing hair and marrow is not as strong as expected?

The most important thing is Ye Xiu’s favorability.

If she did it herself and succeeded in snatching the He Shi Bi from Ye Xiu's hands, then He Xiu's favorability towards her would probably drop even more, and might even become negative.

She was unsure of the effect of the Heshi Bi, but she had personally experienced the ability of the diary. And Ye Xiu's favorability was of utmost importance.

Of course, another point is that Ye Xiu’s strength doesn’t seem to be much worse than hers.

The most important thing is that Ye Xiu may have a master at the level of a Grand Master in the Profound Realm who is secretly protecting him.

That’s right, Zhu Yuyan felt that there must be an expert behind Ye Xiu protecting him in secret.

Just like before, that force at least referred to the aftermath of the conflict between the Grand Masters of the Xuan Realm.

Zhu Yuyan suspected that one of the people who took action might be Ye Xiu's secret guardian.

Zhu Yuyan felt that it was impossible for her to snatch the He Shi Bi from Ye Xiu, so among many options, she chose to tell Ye Xiu that she knew the He Shi Bi's effect of cleansing the hair and marrow, but even if she knew it, she would not snatch it from him.

Zhu Yuyan did this in order to regain Ye Xiu's favor.

There was no reason for Zhu Yuyan not to use the He Shi Bi, which she had no chance of obtaining, in exchange for Ye Xiu's favorability towards her.

Ye Xiu naturally had no idea of ​​Zhu Yuyan's thoughts.

Now, even though Zhu Yuyan left immediately after she appeared, Ye Xiu still couldn't help but wonder if Zhu Yuyan had any new conspiracy.

"So what does Zhu Yuyan want to do?" Ye Xiu muttered to himself, and at the same time he still felt the importance of strength to him.

If he could become stronger, he would be a grandmaster now, or even higher, and he would not have to worry about whether Zhu Yuyan had any conspiracy or not.

"Forget it. No matter what Zhu Yuyan wants to do, I will use the Heshi Bi to cleanse her hair and marrow first. By then, even if Zhu Yuyan has any other ideas, it will be too late."

In the end, Ye Xiu couldn't guess what Zhu Yuyan was thinking, so he gave up trying.

Concentrating his own Qi again, Ye Xiu began to sneak quickly again, and even in this process, Ye Xiu began to change his appearance again and again. After Ye Xiu changed his appearance several times before, he always looked relatively ordinary, but this time, Ye Xiu's appearance after the change was a bit more bookish, and the overall look was like a weak boy.

He changed his appearance, clothes, and even practiced special techniques to make his body a little thinner.

Ye Xiu's new image, except for the gender which is the same as before, has almost no similarities at all.

This time, the calculation is that Ye Xiu is standing in front of Zhu Yuyan again. I am afraid that Zhu Yuyan will find it difficult to recognize that Ye Xiu at this time is the same person as before.

After changing his appearance, Ye Xiu continued to circulate the Qi of Immortality, working hard to improve himself in all aspects, constantly making his keen senses even more acute.

Along the way, Ye Xiu kept trying to look for someone who was secretly watching him.

However, with Ye Xiu's keen perception, he could not sense anyone appearing.

Ye Xiu first found a remote and seemingly safe place to hide in, and then Ye Xiu became silent, acting as if he was using the He Shi Bi to cleanse his hair and marrow. For more than half an hour, no one showed up.

Ye Xiu felt somewhat relieved, and at this time, Ye Xiu finally opened the brass box containing the He Shi Bi.

In an instant, a radiation wave invaded Ye Xiu's body, causing the true energy in Ye Xiu's body to slow down and even show signs of running wild.

However, Ye Xiu had already prepared himself mentally. He circulated his immortality energy, constantly adapting to the strangeness brought to him by the He Shi Bi, and then suddenly grabbed the He Shi Bi.

Chapter 245 Talent Improvement

A strange energy burst out from the He Shi Bi and began to invade Ye Xiu's body. Not only his body, but it also spread along Ye Xiu's body to his mind and even his soul.

"Shh!"

Ye Xiu's consciousness seemed to be squeezed out of his body, and his soul continued to climb. During the process of rising, Ye Xiu subconsciously looked around, and he saw that the ground beneath his feet was constantly getting bigger, and then a huge sphere appeared in Ye Xiu's field of vision.

The place where he lives is still a planet.

Ye Xiu’s soul continued to climb, the planet under his feet became smaller and smaller, and at the same time, Ye Xiu was getting closer and closer to the starry sky.

Finally, the moon, the sun and so on were reflected in Ye Xiu's soul one by one. Ye Xiu seemed to see a celestial body composed of countless planets. He even seemed to see the trajectory of the planets, and seemed to see the countless mysteries mixed in them.

As Ye Xiu's soul ascended, he could also sense a strange, seemingly hot and cold force constantly invading his body and even transforming it.

At the same time, all the true Qi in Ye Xiu's body turned into the true Qi of immortality, and changed accordingly with the energy fed back from the He Shi Bi.

When the energy of the He's Jade becomes cold, the immortality in Ye Xiu's body becomes Yin, and when the energy of the He's Jade becomes hot, the immortality in Ye Xiu's body becomes Yang. When the energy of the He's Jade becomes full of vitality, the immortality in Ye Xiu's body becomes Wood. The energy of the He's Jade is constantly changing between the seven attributes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

The immortal true qi in Ye Xiu's body changed into corresponding properties, and then tried its best to absorb the energy of the He Shi Bi, and then integrated it into Ye Xiu's true qi and even his body, constantly enhancing Ye Xiu's foundation.

This process was extremely painful. Ye Xiu could even feel his body twisting. He could even feel his facial features being deformed because of the pain.

It was only Ye Xiu's soul. Ye Xiu's consciousness fell into a very strange state of bystander, and he directly ignored the pain in his body.

Even his soul began to sublimate because of observing the changes in celestial bodies. During the process of soul sublimation, he even felt comfortable.

The pain in the body and the comfort in the soul, these two completely different reactions were reflected in Ye Xiu at the same time. Ye Xiu was like a third party, watching the dual evolution of his body and soul at the same time with cold eyes.

bang——

When the energy of the He Shi Bi was exhausted, it suddenly turned into a pool of powder and passed through Ye Xiu's fingertips.

As the energy of the Heshi Bi was exhausted, Ye Xiu's soul, which had been climbing up, lost its power, as if a very powerful force was pulling at his soul. In an instant, Ye Xiu's soul fell back into his body.

Although the energy of the He Shi Bi was exhausted when Ye Xiu's soul returned to his body, Ye Xiu's body transformation was completely completed.

However, the aftereffects of the physical transformation made Ye Xiu, who had returned from a third-party perspective, experience the pain of this aftereffect firsthand.

That kind of pain made Ye Xiu feel that this was definitely the most painful punishment in the world.

However, this kind of pain is actually the most painful level, but Ye Xiu feels that he can still endure it. Both his body and soul can withstand this kind of pain.

So even though Ye Xiu was grimacing in pain, his thinking was not affected at all.

But it was Ye Xiu's body that had completely memorized the pain of the body transformation, so Ye Xiu's pain threshold had been infinitely widened.

From now on, no matter how painful the punishment or torture was, Ye Xiu would feel the pain, but he would never suffer a mental breakdown because of it.

Because of the intense pain, his body gasped instinctively, but Ye Xiu's mind was very clear.

Ye Xiu could even think easily: "Using the Heshi Bi to cleanse the hair and marrow - no, what I just experienced is definitely not just as simple as cleaning the hair and marrow, it should be a deeper change, or evolution. So after the evolution, how much has my cultivation speed increased?"

"The effect of the Heshi Bi is beyond my expectation."

'Is it because the world has changed that the power of the Heshi Bi has also been strengthened? Or is it that the way Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling used the Heshi Bi in the original novel was a huge waste? They simply failed to bring the Heshi Bi's functions to their full potential?'

Ye Xiu thought so in his heart, and then let the lingering pain continue in his body. He straightened his body relatively easily, made the posture of five hearts facing the sky, and then began to practice.

Although Ye Xiu hardly practiced on weekdays because of the diary.

But the first thing Ye Xiu wanted to do now was to practice. He wanted to practice and then find out how much his current practice speed had increased compared to before.

However, during Ye Xiu's practice, he discovered that his cultivation had made a breakthrough!

Although the main effect of the He Shi Bi is to enhance Ye Xiu's potential, allowing Ye Xiu to evolve in all aspects from body to soul.

However, the tiny bit of energy that was lost still boosted Ye Xiu's cultivation.

Ye Xiu's cultivation level was at the eighth level of the Grandmaster realm before, but now his cultivation level has reached the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm, and even the peak of the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm. It seems that as long as he puts in a little effort, he can break through the bottleneck between the Grandmaster realm and the Grandmaster realm.

Rather than saying it is a bottleneck, it is better to say that there is no bottleneck at all.

Ye Xiu's talent was raised to the Grandmaster level by the He's Bi, and he no longer had any so-called bottlenecks when he broke through to the Grandmaster level.

Although bottlenecks are of no significance to Ye Xiu, who has a diary, after all, when the diary increases his cultivation, it completely ignores bottlenecks.

But even so, Ye Xiu was still very happy. At least he was sure that his talent had indeed become stronger, but he couldn't be sure how much stronger it had become.

Ye Xiu allowed the joy to arise in his heart, but his mind was as calm as a mirror, without any ups and downs.
