Hell Emperor

Chapter 29 Mint
Halfway through the banquet, Ye Jie felt a burst of heat in his body, and his whole body's spiritual energy began to stir.

"This movement...he is about to break through."

The strong maid with a spear in her hand spoke calmly, her cold eyes fell on Ye Jie, and she knew the situation inside Ye Jie's body well.

Such visions are naturally familiar to the head maid in the wine country. The sick head maid smiled slightly and glanced at Ye Jie with interest:
"Every time I'm on duty, there are many ghosts who break through the realm after eating spiritual delicacies. They can't control the spiritual power in their bodies. Sometimes they make a mess and want to tear down the roof. That's really... It’s quite embarrassing.”

Listening to the words of the chief maid, Ye Jie struggled to maintain the raging spiritual power in his body. He didn't want to make a fool of himself at this moment. This was an important occasion for Nan Linghe, and he couldn't mess it up. .

At this moment, Ye Jie heard the soothing sound of the musical instrument in his ears. The sound was like the spring breeze blowing on his face, and had a unique power that made people feel refreshed and happy.

Soothed by the sound of the piano, Ye Jie's restless heart gradually calmed down. The manic spiritual power that was rampaging in the body like a wild beast also quietly subsided, and was replaced by a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

Ye Jie closed his eyes and immersed himself in the sound of the piano from far to near. Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking porcelain in his ears. The pressure all over his body suddenly relaxed, and his whole state took on a new look.

When Ye Jie opened his eyes again, his aura was very different from usual. Nan Linghe beside him also had a look of surprise: "Brother Jie, you have broken through to the middle stage of the second level!"

Ye Jie smiled. With the help of spiritual delicacies, he had accumulated many years of experience and had a solid foundation. He had been steadily promoted to the middle stage of the second-level soul-building realm, which was on the same level as Guizamei. Finally, he did not make any jokes.

Ye Jie tilted his head slightly and looked at Yulan with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He cupped his fists and said, "If Sister Lan hadn't used the power of Pipa Xuanyin to calm the restless spiritual power in my body, I would have made this breakthrough." The realm will never be so easy.”

Yulan covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Jie fulfilled my biggest wish, and he is Aunt Meng's honored guest. These are what a little girl should do."

Feeling the completely different aura from Yulan's body, Ye Jie said in surprise: "Sister Lan, the last time we met, you were still at the peak level of the second level, but now you have broken through to the third level. When did this happen?"

Yulan nodded slightly: "Ever since Brother Jie helped me untie the knot in my heart, I have clear thoughts and my heart is like a clear mirror. The deep-rooted inner demons in the past cannot hinder me in the slightest. I can successfully break through to the third level, thanks to Jie Brother’s help.”

Ye Jie waved his hand and praised: "Sister Lan is extremely talented and is the chief maid in the wine country. It is natural to break through to the third level. I dare not take this credit for myself."

A few people were chatting when they saw a head coming over. What is worth noting is that the girl had a pair of fluffy tabby cat ears standing on her head. The hair was fine and soft, showing a petite and charming posture.

"Listen to them, can you find anyone in the world?" The girl stared at Ye Jie with her raised pupils and asked curiously.

"It's not me, it's her." Ye Jie pointed to Nan Linghe beside him.

"It doesn't matter who it is, we have a task to give to you. Hehe, with this ability, we can also get what we want!" The girl's eyes flashed and she laughed, even Yulan beside her couldn't see it. Went down.

"Mint, what's the matter with you?" Yulan asked.

Mint could no longer suppress her smile, rubbed her hands and said, "Anyway, just find someone for us. After the mission is completed, we won't treat you badly."

"Are you looking for someone to seek revenge?" Ye Jie asked tentatively.

"What kind of revenge? We are not interested in that kind of fighting and killing." Mint showed disgust in his eyes, "What we want you to help find is a person with a second-level talent: invulnerable to all poisons."

"Invulnerable to all poisons?" Ye Jie was slightly startled and couldn't help but ask, "That is a very rare talent. Why are you looking for such a person?"

"This starts with the cause of our death." Mint scratched his head, showing a somewhat helpless expression, "As a mixed-blood demon clan, we usually don't like to eat people, but only like to eat mushrooms that contain spiritual power. As a result, we were Poisoned to death.”

"……Are you serious?"

Ye Jie's mouth twitched. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed it. There were monsters that could be poisoned by mushrooms.

Even the head maids nearby couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. Mint became angry and put his hands on his hips and said: "You are not allowed to laugh! That mushroom is colorful and delicious at first sight. Who would have thought that it is poisonous? Before I could recover, I was taken to the underworld by ghost messengers."

Hearing her explanation, everyone laughed louder, and Ye Jie helplessly raised his forehead: "The more beautiful the mushroom, the more poisonous it is... But, what does this have to do with you looking for someone who is invulnerable to all poisons?"

Mint snorted softly: "This time we are smarter! We found a lot of mushrooms in the underworld. They are colorful and look very appetizing. Some of them can also emit cold fluorescence in the dark. They are delicious at first sight... ...It’s just that we can’t eat randomly anymore. If we are poisoned, we will lose our soul, unless... there is someone who is immune to poisons and can try the poison for us."

Ye Jie expressed doubts: "Are you sure? For a person who is immune to all poisons, even if he eats highly poisonous things, he will not die of poisoning. Is it really possible to test poison?"

Mint didn't think so: "After eating the Hades Mushroom, no matter how invulnerable it is to all poisons, some changes will occur in your body... Don't worry about the specifics, just help us find someone!"

Ye Jie nodded: "It's a coincidence that I happen to know a person in the world who is invulnerable to all poisons."

Hearing this, even Yulan couldn't help but cast a sideways glance: "Brother Jie, are you referring to a person with a second-grade talent: invulnerable to all poisons? Or maybe someone who is just a little stronger thinks he is immune to poisons?" Human? If it's the latter, you have to be very careful. I've seen the mushroom that Mint brought back a little bit...how should I put it? It looks very weird, and it's definitely not something that mortals can easily eat."

Ye Jie coughed dryly: "I understand your worries. The person I'm talking about refers to the former. With this innate magical power, no matter what kind of poison, there will be no problem."

Yulan nodded slightly and asked no more questions, while Mint looked surprised: "Then what are you waiting for? Take us to find that person quickly!"

"Wait a minute, let's talk about the reward first. It's one thing to find that person, but it's another thing to let her eat the poisonous mushrooms of the underworld. Although she has the innate magical power that is invulnerable to all poisons, in case of an accident The toxin is strong, and if there are any shortcomings, it will be difficult to handle. Such a dangerous task, and it is two tasks combined into one, without a generous reward, it is unjustifiable." Ye Jie was not in a hurry and waved his hand.

Mint nodded: "What you said does make sense. Do you want Yin virtue or Kung Fu?"

Ye Jie replied: "It's best to use kung fu."

Mint thought for a while: "The strongest skill we have is the middle-level earth-level body training method. This is the body-training method of the human immortal way. Is it okay?" "Mid-level earth-level..." Ye Jie Taking a deep breath, he had never seen this level of technique before, but the head maid in the wine country could take it out at will. Of course he would not refuse, "Of course."

On the side, Yulan glanced at Ye Jie with some worry: "Although it's not my place to say these words, I still want to remind you that a practitioner should specialize in a certain method. I'll leave when I see you. It is the ghost-immortal way of refining the soul and building the soul. Last time, I took the turtle hand of the earth-immortal way, and this time I will take the hundred-refined body of the human-immortal way. Although these exercises are high-level, they are not suitable for you. Come practice."

Yulan said with concern: "Any kind of skill, if it is upgraded to the highest level, can show considerable power, even if it is just a low-level soul-breaking arrow in the hands of a ghost who specializes in this method. , can still shine. The study of any kind of skill requires a long time. As the saying goes, the skill is more important than the quantity. If you blindly pursue the number of skills, it will only waste time and will not help increase your strength. "

This teaching is also based on Yulan's experience after practicing for a long time. It is enough to save blindly groping practitioners decades of hard work. Ye Jie understood in his heart, clasped his fists and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Sister Lan, for your kind words. I know exactly what I am doing."

Yulan nodded and said no more. Ye Jie also looked at Mint: "In that case, let's set off quickly."

Mint nodded and Ye Jie said goodbye to everyone. It wasn't until he said goodbye to Nan Linghe that he noticed that she had brought a plate over at some point and put a lot of good dishes on it. It was almost piled up and he couldn't help it. Asked, "Are you going to take the plate away?"

Nan Linghe blinked: "I remembered that Lucy hadn't eaten yet, so I wanted to bring something back for her to eat."

Ye Jie was helpless: "Wandering souls are not hungry and do not need to eat. Ghosts eat more to absorb spiritual power."

Nan Linghe groaned: "But if she doesn't eat, will she feel hungry..."

Ye Jie put his hand on his forehead: "I starved to death and I don't usually feel uncomfortable. Why does she feel uncomfortable?"

Nan Linghe looked surprised. This was the first time she heard Ye Jie mention the cause of her death.

It was Aunt Meng who spoke, which made Ye Jie feel a little relieved. He only heard the owner of the wine country smile lightly and said: "Don't worry, if Miss He wants it, these are all hers."

Ye Jie said no more and went to the world with Mint.

Arriving at Xuancha Leize, Mint Ke was startled when he heard the rolling thunder in his ears. The down on the white goose neck stood up, and the cat ears on his head twitched, and he said: "This is the place where Yinglong was destroyed. Why did you bring us here?"

Ye Jie was not surprised by this, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the person you are looking for is here."

"Really?" Mint showed a suspicious look. She leaned down and crawled quickly on her hands and feet as she entered a state of alert. "If you plan to do harm to us, Aunt Meng will not let you go."

"...I told you that the person you are looking for is here." Ye Jie was helpless. Who told Xia Wei to hide here? I could only say, "Don't say it's you. When I first came here, I was more scared than you. If a bolt of lightning strikes and you can struggle for a while, I'm afraid you will lose your mind on the spot. You are a much higher level than me, and I'm not afraid." , what are you afraid of?"

Under Ye Jie's persuasion, Mint's expression improved, but his slightly narrowed vertical pupils still fell on him: "In that case, then hurry up and lead the way for us."

Ye Jie moved forward quickly, avoiding the blazing arcs of electricity that whizzed by, and finally arrived at Xia Wei's hiding place.

"Master..." Sensing Ye Jie's aura, Xia Wei finished her exercise and stood up happily. When she saw the creature crawling next to Ye Jie, she couldn't help but her eyes froze, "Who is she?"

"Don't worry, she came to you for help..." Ye Jie was talking, and suddenly felt a spiritual power fluctuation from Xia Wei that was far better than before, and couldn't help but look happy, "This breath... little Wei, you have broken through to the late first-order level!"

Xia Wei smiled calmly and looked up at Ye Jie: "Master has also broken through to the middle stage of the second level."

"Okay! Both our masters and disciples have made breakthroughs. As long as we maintain this momentum, even the Hengshan Bandits will not be arrogant for long." Ye Jie encouraged her.

On the side, Mint also approached Xia Wei, looked at the slender girl carefully, and asked suspiciously: "Is this a person who is invulnerable to all poisons? She is your apprentice? Don't tell me, she can really do it?"

Ye Jie was very relieved: "Rather than worrying about this, you'd better prepare your skills quickly."

Mint curled her lips, and then took out a handful of strange mushrooms from her arms: "Then let's see how she will react after eating these mushrooms."

Xia Wei was puzzled, so Ye Jie pulled her aside and explained: "Xiao Wei, you have the innate magical power that is invulnerable to all poisons. For other people, these Hades mushrooms are deadly things, but you can Bear the backlash of eating them. You need to tell Mint the truth about your reaction to eating the mushrooms. After the matter is over, she will give you a local mid-level skill. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. "

Feeling Ye Jie's concern, Xia Wei said gratefully: "Why wouldn't Xiaowei be willing? With this local mid-level technique, the chance of winning revenge is even greater. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire ahead, Xiaowei will not Frown."

Listening to Xia Wei's decisive words, Ye Jie sighed: "It's a good thing to be strong in dealing with things, but it's not enough to talk too much about everything. You must know that strength is easy to break. I am very worried that one day you will be dragged down by this character. With you Your talent should be able to reach further places."

Xia Wei lowered her head and was silent for a long time, but Mint couldn't wait anymore and loudly urged the two of them: "Have you finished discussing it? How long do you have to wait for us."

"I've kept you waiting." When he came to Mint, Ye Jie also looked at Xia Wei with an affirmative look.

"Okay, let's see the effect of these mushrooms quickly...wait, I haven't made a fire yet..."

Seeing a few people approaching, Mint smiled slightly and was about to light a fire when he saw Xia Wei grab a red mushroom and throw it into his mouth. The expression on his face suddenly froze.

Xia Wei frowned and chewed a few times, then swallowed the mushroom and felt a surge in her stomach.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her mouth. Ye Jie came over to check worriedly, but he only felt waves of heat coming towards him.

"careful!"

Mint hurriedly knocked Ye Jie down, and the next moment, a long tongue of fire erupted from Xia Wei's mouth, grazing Ye Jie's body and plowing a dark pit in the ground.
