The Elder Yao seemed to know a great deal about Ye Qiubai's affairs.
Not only did they know he would come here, but they could also see through his physical condition at a glance.
The Elder Yao said this when he left.
"You will have a major karmic connection with the Azure Cloud Sword Master, a connection you cannot avoid. Furthermore, if you survive this ordeal, it will bring you immeasurable benefits; if you fail, you may disappear from this world, and the name Ye Qiubai will be completely replaced."
"As for your Sword Bone, if it is not tempered, your chances of surviving are less than 10%, because this Sword Bone contains the residual divine soul power of the Azure Cloud Sword Master."
"Only through the power of the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool, and with the forced cleansing by the Ashen Fire, will your Sword Bone truly be complete. As for how much power you can obtain from it, that depends on your Creation."
Upon hearing these words...
Ye Qiubai completely trusted Elder Yao, because he also realized that he and the Azure Cloud Sword Master might be facing a calamity, but it was still unknown whose calamity it would be.
While desperately enduring extreme pain, the Primordial Sword Scripture circulated wildly, striving to force Sword Intent and Immortal Qi around the Sword Bone. Under the combined protection of the Intent of Unending Life of the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool and the Intent of Unending Life Primordial Sword Scripture, it resisted the erosion of the Ashen Fire.
In this way, the Sword Bone can be protected from melting.
It was so painful; even the muscles inside my body were constantly and violently contracting.
From within the Sword Bone, a hissing sound emanated, accompanied by the echoing howls of souls that reverberated throughout the cave!
Without a doubt, this is the soul of the Azure Cloud Sword Master.
Suddenly, a wisp of white soul material burst out of Ye Qiubai's body and arrived outside the cave.
The Elder Yao was guarding the cave entrance at that moment.
The white soul stopped in front of Elder Yao, condensing into an extremely illusory human form.
The face and figure are very blurry.
It appears to be just a wisp of consciousness, and cannot yet be called a soul.
The Elder Yao raised an eyebrow at the wisp of consciousness. The subtle Sword Intent emanating from it was obvious. The Elder Yao chuckled, "What, can't hold back anymore?"
The Azure Cloud Sword Master's wisp of consciousness was obscured by his eyes, but Elder Yao could sense that he was staring intently at him.
"Who exactly are you? And who taught Ye Qiubai his Cultivation Method?"
The Elder Yao smiled and shook his head. "I can't answer the second question. As for the first one... I'm just a mere apprentice apothecary, not worth mentioning."
Medicine boy?
The Azure Cloud Sword Master said in a deep voice, "Someone like you can only be a medicine boy? Even in the Chaos Divine Dynasty of yesteryear, no one was worthy to be compared to you."
The Elder Yao smiled and said, "There's no such thing as a compatibility issue. I just know a few herbs and can brew a few pots of medicinal soup."
What is your relationship with him?
"..." The Elder Yao thought for a moment, then recalled, "It's nothing."
Seeing Elder Yao's expression and his eyes, which seemed to hold a myriad of thoughts as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life, even the Azure Cloud Sword Master would not believe these words.
"Although you have annihilated my remnant soul from the Sword Bone, there will be many more opportunities afterward. Will you be able to stay by his side forever?"
The Elder Yao seemed unconcerned, still wearing that same smile. "You can rely on others on the journey of life, but ultimately, this path belongs to you. He will handle the troubles that follow himself, and I believe he has the ability."
The Azure Cloud Sword Master nodded. "I also have a lot of faith in myself. Perhaps we will meet again soon."
After saying this, the consciousness of the Azure Cloud Sword Master completely dissipated.
The agonizing screams inside the cave gradually ceased.
The Elder Yao looked into the cave and chuckled softly, "We won't meet again..."
After saying that, he slowly walked into the cave.
In the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool, Ye Qiubai's expression was calm, while strands of Sword Dao Law and crashed through the cave!
The cave walls were scratched with cracks, but the area around the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool and the firewood flames remained completely unmoved.
The temperature of the Ashen Fire began to decrease, transforming into an extremely gentle flame that began to merge into Ye Qiubai's body.
"I wonder how much you can accept?" the Elder Yao apothecary said with a smile.
He then took out the large iron pot, picked up a piece of firewood burning with Ashen Fire from beside the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool, placed it under the pot, and then threw in various unknown herbs and strange-looking things... a chaotic stew.
Ashen Fire.
It is divine fire that evolved from the Power of the Flame Origin.
Although Ye Qiubai had comprehended the Fire Concept before, it was ultimately just Concept. After leaving the Low-Latitude Realm, he had already abandoned the Fire Concept and had not cultivated it again.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Qiubai would definitely not be able to absorb the Ashen Fire so quickly.
However, it was precisely because of these pieces of firewood from the Elder Yao.
It has a calming effect, and at the same time, a woody fragrance that can enhance Ye Qiubai's ability to comprehend things is constantly emanating from it.
Under these circumstances, Ye Qiubai entered the Celestial Person State...
This Celestial Person State lasted for a full seven days.
The aura of the Celestial Person State dissipated only when Ye Qiubai opened his eyes.
Ye Qiubai immediately took out the Cloud Azure Sword, and with a slight thought, a fiery red flame covered the Cloud Azure Sword!
The moment the flames appeared, the space inside the cave began to distort.
The water in the Azure Wood Primal Spirit Pool boiled again.
With a swing of his sword, Ashen Fire coiled around the Sword Qi, unleashing a fiery slash!
At this moment, the Elder Yao raised his hand, catching the slash in his palm. After squeezing it slightly, he smiled and said, "Not bad, you've grasped the threshold of the Power of Origin, and you've almost mastered the Ashen Fire. Drink this medicine."
Ye Qiubai looked at the pot of fiery red medicinal soup, didn't think much of it, walked over, picked it up, and drank it.
It felt as if he had drunk not a bowl of medicine, but a basin of molten lava...
In an instant, Ye Qiubai's body turned fiery red.
"Having absorbed these powers, your Ashen Fire should be able to initially enter the Origin Realm."
Ye Qiubai endured the burning pain and sat cross-legged to continue absorbing the nutrients.
A day later, the fiery red aura around Ye Qiubai gradually dissipated, and his cultivation level reached the Mid-Stage Ancestor Realm.
The moment I opened my eyes, I discovered that the Elder Yao had already vanished without a trace, leaving only a note behind.
"Just continue on the current path, and you can rely on your master even more."
Master?
Why did the Elder Yao mention his master?
Ye Qiubai shook his head, put the note away, and walked out of the cave.
Outside, Azure Wood Sect and Lei Feng were waiting. When Ye Qiubai came out, they smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Young friend Ye, is there anything else you need? As long as our Azure Wood Sect has it, we can get it for you."
This attitude... is probably because of Elder Yao.
Ye Qiubai didn't stand on ceremony and asked, " Divine Mystic Fire Soul, Core of the Heavenly Spirit Heart, I wonder if you know about these two ingredients, Senior?"
Just ask, it's not shameful.
