Chapter 72 Ye Li is attacked at Tianmen Sect
"What a thing! How dare he covet Mother's mother? Doesn't he need a mirror to pee? He thinks he can tie Mother up and marry her off with some worthless Marrow Cleansing Pill? He's dreaming big but he's delusional!"
Even after Wen Yao had been gone for a long time, Huo Huo continued to curse.
Ah Jin wasn't so rude. He shook his head and said, "This person is actually quite clever. He keeps saying he's thinking about Mother, but in reality, he wants to take advantage of Mother's loss of power to rob her."
Huo Huo, quick-witted, asked in surprise, "Robbery? What does he want to take from Mother?"
Ah Jin sighed helplessly, "Foolish! Of course, he's robbing Mother herself. Look, if he really wanted to help Mother, couldn't he help her without marriage? He could easily help Mother cultivate and make her a disciple again. The only reason he insists on marrying Mother is because he thinks she has nothing now, making it easier to satisfy his own selfish desires."
Huo Huo suddenly realized, "I knew it! No wonder he sounded so disgusting. He's definitely not a good person, even worse than my master... Ugh!"
A scream rang out, followed by complete silence.
Ye Li remained silent.
Just as they said, Wen Yao presumptuously wanted to marry her without asking her opinion, probably because he thought she had lost her cultivation and was now penniless, and that marrying him was a step up for her.
But what disgusted her most was not his condescending attitude of wanting to save her, but that he labeled her as promiscuous in order to satisfy his own filthy desires.
He kept saying he liked her, but he didn't even know anything about her.
Even if we assume that she really gave those things to him, aren't they both at fault? How can he have the audacity to say he forgives her?
If Yuan Ce was openly evil, then Wen Yao was two-faced and feigned righteousness; neither of them were good people.
Ye Li looked at the Marrow Cleansing Pill in her hand.
However, the most important thing right now is to quickly cleanse the marrow and cultivate to the Qi Refining stage before the registration deadline.
Only in this way can she go to Kuangshagang together to find out where the dangerous clay doll came from and to explore the truth about the poison in Mo Hannian.
Night falls.
While her roommate was asleep, Ye Li left the outer disciples' quarters and found a secluded spot to set up a protective barrier.
Marrow cleansing is risky and the process is extremely painful, equivalent to shredding and reassembling all the bones and flesh in the body. Some people give up halfway because they cannot endure it.
Even if you grit your teeth and persevere, success will naturally follow.
If they fail, they may become ordinary people, or even risk their lives.
After preparing, Ye Li said to the mirror, "I'm going to undergo marrow cleansing. As for the mirror, I'll put it away for now."
She always felt that calling it a lover's mirror was strange, so she just vaguely called it a mirror.
"etc."
Xie Sixing called out to her, his voice teasing, "Isn't the marrow cleansing very painful? Don't you need me to accompany you?"
"No need."
"Tsk, not cute at all."
Xie Sixing said lazily, "Come on, stretch out your hand."
Ye Li subconsciously reached out her hand, and the next second, a flash of silver light appeared, and a bottle appeared in her palm.
Upon opening it, I found a green pill inside.
"This is?"
"It's a marrow cleansing procedure, painless, and without any risks."
Ye Li was skeptical. "I've only ever heard of the Marrow Cleansing Pill. What is this?"
"This is the real Marrow Cleansing Pill. The one you used is a counterfeit made by current alchemists based on this."
"Fake? How could that be? All the sects use this."
A Jin: "Mother, just listen to Master. This Marrow Cleansing Pill originally belonged to Master... mmm."
What is he?
Did he do it?
What kind of marrow-cleansing pill could an evil spirit like him make? Does he even have marrow to cleanse?
Surely it's not meant for bathing, is it?
And why is it green? It looks like it's poisonous...
Xie Sixing provoked, "What, Daoist Master, you dare not eat?"
Ye Li immediately retorted, "I didn't say I didn't dare."
"Oh, then eat quickly."
Having found himself in a difficult situation, Ye Li made a snap decision and popped it into her mouth.
Judging from the color, she thought it would taste bad, but after putting it in her mouth, she realized...
This is absolutely inedible!
She felt like she'd swallowed a mouthful of chili peppers with half a jar of salt—it was both cloyingly spicy and seemed to have Sichuan peppercorns in it too. Her lips felt numb and tingly, as if they weren't her own anymore.
Xie Sixing asked with great interest, "How does it taste? I was worried it would be too bitter, so I added some seasonings when I was making it. It's not bad, is it?"
It's better to suffer a little!
Ye Li covered her mouth, unable to speak.
After finally swallowing it, a warm current immediately enveloped his dantian.
She sat cross-legged, regulating her breathing and circulating her spiritual energy.
The entire marrow cleansing process was faster than she had imagined.
She felt her spiritual root turn into clay, being kneaded and shaped by an invisible force, eventually becoming a single-item spiritual root.
When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Li's mixed spiritual roots had been washed away, leaving only a water spiritual root.
Ye Li tried circulating her spiritual energy and exclaimed in surprise, "A top-grade spiritual root?!"
"Otherwise what?"
Hearing Xie Sixing's completely unsurprised tone, Ye Li couldn't believe it. "So, the Marrow Cleansing Pill you gave me will definitely cleanse my marrow and give me a top-grade spiritual root?"
"uh-huh."
Xie Sixing said regretfully, "There's only one left, otherwise you could have washed it a few more times and picked one you liked."
Ye Li was speechless.
Spiritual roots, starting from miscellaneous items, are divided into three grades: lower, middle, and upper.
A superior spiritual root is extremely rare, and usually one can directly enter the inner sect.
Top-grade spiritual roots are extremely rare, appearing only once every hundred years, and are highly sought after by various sects.
It came out just by washing it like that?
She couldn't imagine what kind of bloody storm would be stirred up if such a pill were to be born in the Six Paths!
Such a miraculous elixir was consumed without her knowledge, and she even seemed somewhat disgusted by it.
She opened her mouth several times, "Uh, since you have the genuine Marrow Cleansing Pill, why did you let me steal Su Ying'er's?"
"You stole it from her to vent your anger, why would you give it to me?"
Xie Sixing's laughter sounded lazy and low-key under the moonlight, lingering in people's ears almost imperceptibly, "It's because I don't want you to suffer the pain of marrow cleansing."
"..."
Ye Li was taken aback.
This is the first time someone has said they don't want her to suffer.
She recalled the time when she first entered the Tianmen Sect.
Actually, she wasn't always this quiet and boring.
In her youth, she was lively and playful, and would cry because the sword was too heavy.
With calluses on her small hands, she presented the item to Master Qingyu, saying, "Master, A-Li's hands are injured."
“No one who cultivates immortality escapes hardship. Your will is so weak that you will be punished by not eating today and being confined to the back mountain to reflect on your mistakes.”
Little A-Li, holding back her tears, knelt on the ground, her body shorter than a sword, and said, "A-Li knows she was wrong."
"If you continue to complain endlessly in the future, I will no longer have a disciple like you!"
From then on, no matter how hard or tiring it was, Ye Li never complained again.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal.
Until one day, she saw Master Qingyu teaching Su Ying'er a mental cultivation method to strengthen her body.
Su Ying'er clung to Qingyu Zhenren's arm and said coquettishly, "Master, Ying'er is just a mortal. Won't I tarnish your reputation?"
Master Qingyu's face remained as indifferent and aloof as ever, but his voice was gentler than Ye Li had ever heard before, "My reputation does not need to be upheld by my disciples. You just need to do your best."
...
Even though a long time has passed, Ye Li still remembers every detail of that day.
Actually, she wasn't afraid of hard work; she just hoped that someone would see how hard she worked.
Ye Li said softly, "Thank you."
"Just thank you?"
With a playful, upward-sweeping tone at the end, Ye Li seemed to see Xie Sixing's carefree and irresponsible demeanor.
A warmth filled her heart, and just as she was about to say something, a sudden gust of wind swept towards her from behind!
