Chapter 14 Harsh Environment

"Your Excellency... don't want to die, do you?"

Ye Wen finally swallowed the tea in his mouth and looked up at the dark mage who looked very gentleman. He never expected that this guy would suddenly say something like this. Why did he ask himself to sit down and be ready to fight?

He was not afraid of the dark mage's sudden attack. At present, he could release the Zixiao Sword without preparation. Compared to magic that even requires spells, Ye Wen's martial arts are not as fast as possible in terms of speed.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood!" Mudrak did not change at all, his expression and behavior, and even his leisurely and contented look had never changed at all: "I mean, you must have put in a considerable amount of time and energy to cultivate this powerful skill. I don't think you want everything to turn into nothing one day, right?"

Ye Wen understood this time, but he still didn't understand what this guy wanted to say. Could it be that this dark mage wanted to be his experimental subject to be an artificial vampire?

"What the hell do you want to say?"

Mudrak smiled. He was not afraid of Ye Wen's rejection. He was afraid that this guy would not listen to anything and do it directly! To be honest, Mudrak looked very young and had no idea how powerful the guy was. If it weren't for this, he would kill him directly with his style of conduct. How could he serve as a good hospitality?

"I heard from Mr. Liao that you cultivators in the east have become increasingly difficult for hundreds of years. The poverty of spiritual energy in the world makes it difficult for cultivators with this as the foundation to practice in ordinary places. Even..." Mudrak fiddled with his ring, and the dark gem seemed to absorb everything: "The poverty of spiritual energy in the world has reached the point that threatens the survival of cultivators!"

The teacup in Ye Wen's hand shook slightly, and the movement was very subtle and almost uncheckable, but this action made Mudrak smile proudly. He thought he had touched the man's fatal point.

Cultivators in the East have always been seeking immortality as their lifelong cultivation goal, but it is impossible to achieve this goal on earth, so everyone hopes to ascend and reach the legendary fairyland to continue pursuing their own path to immortality.

According to the legend of the East, a long time ago, those monks could have cultivated directly on the earth to the realm of immortality, that is, they had cultivated into the body of an immortal.

However, as time goes by and spiritual energy gradually becomes less and less, it is impossible to become an immortal on earth, so the goal pursued by Eastern monks has become ascending to the immortal world. Mudrak does not understand this at all. He believes that the less and less spiritual energy on earth has basically cut off the possibility of Eastern monks cultivating to become immortals. The so-called ascension may be something fabricated by the Eastern people's self-comfort.

In other words, Mudrak himself did not believe in the phenomenon of ascension, and he heard from Liao Tong that no one could ascend in the past few hundred years, which made Mudrak even more determined to make his judgment.

In this way, the only way for Eastern monks to seek immortality is to pursue other methods, but there is another thing that makes Eastern monks very embarrassed.

The gradually scarcity of spiritual energy in the world not only makes it impossible for cultivators to practice in ordinary places, but even stay in these places for a long time will also affect their own cultivation and life span. In their own words, it is "contaminated with too many filthy things, affecting their own spiritual energy..."

Nowadays, not only is the spiritual energy becoming less and less, but the air contains more and more harmful substances. For cultivators who are trying to make their bodies pure, this environment is like throwing an ordinary person into a polluted area after the nuclear bomb explodes.

It may be a bit exaggerating to say this, but this is generally the case, so Eastern cultivators are now in a very embarrassing situation, which is one of the reasons why these monks rarely see them walking around.

Ye Wen didn't know these situations. He could only infer the information he needed from Mudrak's words, but the information he received at the moment did not seem to be very happy.

When Liao Tong saw Ye Wen, he frowned and said that this senior began to seriously think about their suggestions. When will he wait without adding a handful of oil?

"Senior came out of the mountain this time, I think he felt that his cultivation was difficult to improve, and he was still far away from the illusory path of ascension, so he came out to find the successor?"

Ye Wen looked up and said, no answer, nor no. However, his lack of words made Liao Tong think that this senior had agreed to his guess.

This is not a strange thing. Eastern monks value inheritance the most. Whenever a person feels that his or her deadline is approaching, he will run outside to find a disciple who inherits his legacy. Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine what was the reason why a senior expert with such a high level of cultivation could come to this world? After all, staying in the world for a long time is not a good thing for the cultivator's own cultivation.

"Actually, I think the cultivation of my seniors is a rare person in the world. If I can go to the 'that place' and concentrate on meditation, I may not be able to see through the path of ascension. It's just that the famous sects in the world of cultivation have occupied that excellent place of cultivation. If I don't ask ordinary monks to enter, I will be extremely domineering and call them a famous sect in vain!"

Liao Tong's words made Ye Wen frown again: "Where is that? Where is that? Could it be that there is a mysterious Feng Shui treasure land in the Central Plains, and all the powerful cultivators hide there to practice?"

Ye Wen's guess is not right or wrong, but Liao Tong's words finally gave Ye Wen some useful information.

"I think that my senior's cultivation is so high and I have been practicing for at least three or four hundred years. If I cannot enter that place of practice, my life span is probably not much left! I will say, Senior, don't be angry..."

Ye Wen raised his hand and made a call, then drank tea in a small mouthful of his own, waiting for the man to say something amazing.

"Since the cultivation world does not like the descendants and casual cultivators of us small sects today, why not just abandon the original rules and regulations and find some way out from the next place!"

Ye Wen's head suddenly flashed, as if he understood something: "So you became the necromancer?"

Liao Tong smiled: "The spiritual energy in this world is getting less and less, but spiritual energy is the most important existence for us cultivators. However, the power next to it has not decreased much, especially the power of the undead will never decrease!" Speaking of this, the man proudly spread his palm, and after whispering an obscure sentence in his mouth, a ball of phosphorus fire burned in his palm.

The blue and green color of the phosphorus fire was filled with dead gray. Ye Wen felt a chill all over his body as soon as he saw it, which was completely different from the ordinary flames.

"I have devoted myself to studying for thirty years and finally developed a method to convert the power of the undead spirit into spiritual energy. Although the consumption of the power of the undead spirit is disproportionate to the spiritual power obtained, the power of the undead spirit is inexhaustible, and the spiritual energy... so it's okay to consume it no matter how much it consumes!"

After hearing what Liao Tong said, Ye Wen felt for some reason that Liao Tong's method seemed to be more similar to the evil method in the novel.

Sure enough, Liao Tong also said: "I know what I thought of, but the current situation is that people have to do this... I just want to survive!"

Liao Tong has been practicing hard for more than 400 years. After more than 300 years of cultivation, he felt that his cultivation was difficult to improve. Unless he could enter the place occupied by the great sects of the cultivation world and practice hard, he might be able to continue to prolong his life and further his cultivation level and be closer to the path of ascension.

However, he was a casual cultivator, but he later became a master. However, his master was weak, and the rest of the sect did not have any good qualifications. He was the only one left after hundreds of years.

The power is weak, so naturally there is no say. The great sects said: "Now that spiritual resources are limited, we must give priority to ensuring that real masters and sects that may be passed on for a long time will enter the practice and preserve the bloodline of cultivation..."

To put it nicely, in fact, you are not afraid that outsiders will get in and get a lot of spiritual energy? As for those so-called real masters, which one of those masters is not the elders of the big sect? Where did the masters come from outside? Nowadays, there is little spiritual energy, and it is extremely difficult to become a master, and these big sects have set extremely high restrictions. In this situation, it is simply impossible to happen.

For example, when you can only practice to level 10 outside, people tell you that you must level 15 before you can get in. The gap of level 5 has caused countless cultivators to die in tears.

The domineering and powerful nature of these famous sects made many people feel disgusted and helpless. Liao Tong is one of the monks who is unwilling to die in such a frustration, so he would rather damage his cultivation than find a way out. In the end, he thought of the Western magic system.

After hearing some of Liao Tong's situation roughly, Ye Wen had to sigh that Liao Tong is also a hero of a generation. If he was in the world he had been in, at least he was a master, but he struggled hard to survive here.

At the same time, he also completely understood why these two people wanted to talk to him. They regarded themselves as dying old antiques, and speculated that they were also Eastern monks persecuted by those great sects, so they thought they might agree with their proposal.

"What a pity, you guessed wrong!"

Ye Wenman is less than 30 years old, and he has achieved success in martial arts, even if he dies, he will have at least nearly a hundred years of life. After thinking about it carefully, he found that his cultivation level can only live for a hundred years, which seems a little frustrated.

"Damn it, any monk who comes out is hundreds or hundreds, why can he only get over one hundred to me?"

Think about it again, the original Yudong Sect Kung Fu is most important in prolonging life, but Nine Sword Immortal and Yu Qingzi are only over 100 years old.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in that world is much stronger than that in this world, and the physical fitness of people is much better than that of the people here. Even so, Yu Qingzi is over 100 years old and can be considered a long life...

It has to be said that the cultivation techniques of cultivators are fatal attraction to those who want to pursue immortality, and Ye Wen is a little moved at the moment.

He didn't know how long he could live, but there was another thing that Liao Tong said that had to be taken seriously.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is decreasing, and the increasing number of filthy things in the world is extremely harmful to practitioners who bring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies.

Although Ye Wen is a martial artist, he also relies on absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to improve his cultivation! Not to mention the current situation, if there is no essence of the Red Fruit, his skills will be difficult to improve. Even those filthy things are also things that his innate purple qi are taboo. If the true qi is contaminated with so many filthy things, is the innate purple qi still more than the innate purple qi?

In the past, the world was because of the abundant spiritual energy and scarce filth, so my true energy was not affected by external evils during operation. But can it still be like this in an environment where almost all external evils are there?

The decline in power is still a small matter. The decline in power and even the body becomes bad is the most intolerable. Fortunately, Ye Wen has a lot of red fruit essence in his body to ensure that he doesn't have to worry about this for the time being. The two women still have a lot of residual essence in their bodies, and with him around, there is no such worry at present.

But those essences are not endless things after all. Sooner or later, there will be a day to absorb them. What will happen when it comes?

"Watch your skills gradually decline? Your health is getting worse and worse?"

Ye Wen's hands were tucked together, and his two thumbs were constantly turning around.

Mudrak on the opposite side seemed very confident. He believed that a strong man like Ye Wen would never be willing to die in a cowardly manner. Immortality is a temptation for almost every strong man to be crazy about.

"Sir, we have been talking for so long and have shown our sincerity. Maybe you should also show a little sincerity, for example, tell me your name first!"

"Ye Wen!" The frown of eyebrows meant that Ye Wen was still having a headache for his future. He learned a lot of things now, but he was not very clear about many things. Maybe he should find out more clearly.

Turning his eyes away from Mudrak on the opposite side, Ye Wen looked at Liao Tong, who had practiced the necrotic witchcraft: "I don't know much about that place, but I just heard a little bit! You once wanted to go in and practice, can you tell Ye what conditions should you meet if you want to go in and practice?"

Although he didn't understand many things, Ye Wen could already confirm part of his thoughts, that is, to live! And he had to live very casually. He once stood at the peak of a world and could not bear to live his life very frustratedly. He could not tolerate his cultivation being destroyed due to various external restrictions - his cultivation was deep and could still last longer, but what about his two women?

He made the decision to bring the two women to this world. He would never be able to sit back and see his two women fall into a dangerous situation because of his decision.

So, after coming to this world, Ye Wen finally determined what he was most urgent to do: solve the possible life dangers and find a way to enter the "that place" to practice! Since the masters in the cultivation world can practice normally there, then he can naturally live in that world!

Liao Tong didn't expect Ye Wen to suddenly ask about this, and he answered casually without thinking: "I won't talk about how to cultivate first, because this is entirely their decision. As long as they say a master, it is a master, and it is difficult to argue clearly! And even if you recognize it as a master, if you want to enter, you have to become an elder worshiper of a certain sect in those major sects, so that you can obtain the qualification to enter..."

"Hmph, so that's how it is..." Ye Wen realized that the so-called master's ability to enter was just empty words and meaningless to him. Based on the performance of Liao Tong and Zhang Hengguang, his cultivation level would not be much different even if he couldn't enter. But if this is the case, it would be another matter.

If you don’t talk about how your identity as a master is recognized by the other party, you will not accept it if you become an elder of a certain sect!

How can a dignified leader of Shushan be subordinate to another sect?

"In addition, the recognized sects in the cultivation world can also be qualified to enter! After all, those famous and upright sects are howling to preserve the bloodline of cultivation, so..." Liao Tong shrugged his shoulders. In his opinion, this sentence is nonsense. How could another sect appear out of thin air in this world?

"That's it..." Ye Wen's eyes lit up, and he felt that this game was not the dead end he thought, and there was still a way out. If so, the Shushan Wenwu School he originally wanted to build would really have to be opened. He originally wanted to build a school first and then establish the Shushan School according to the situation. Now, this matter has to be done.

If you don’t build a school and absorb disciples, you cannot establish a sect. If you don’t build a sect, you cannot obtain the status recognized by the people in the cultivation world. Without these status, you can’t enter ‘that place’, and if you can’t enter… you will die!

"Things are going around, and it seems to be going back to where it was."

Ye Wen and the two women who had been sitting beside him looked at each other. When they saw the trusty eyes of the two women, Ye Wen knew it was time to make a decision.

"How is it? Mr. Ye!" Mudrak kept drinking tea quietly until this time he suddenly asked: "If we cooperate, maybe Mr. Ye can find a path to immortality that suits you like Mr. Liao. You don't have to hold on to the original practice of practicing and not let go..."

Ye Wen, who had figured everything out, finally recovered his relaxed expression at the beginning and looked at Mudrak: "Before that, I want to know what you are going to do if you cooperate?"

"People!" A fanatical light suddenly flashed in Mudrak's eyes, which had been calm: "A large number of people!"

"People?" Ye Wen suddenly thought of the things that happened a while ago: "Are you talking about...a living person you use to do experiments?"

Mudrak laughed: "That's right! You have to do experiments on living people to know whether my magic has succeeded..."

"Don't you think it's too cruel?" Although Ye Wen is not a bad person, he cannot accept killing many innocent people for such reasons.

"Cruel?" Mudrak seemed to hear something funny: "As a powerful dark mage, why should I care about the life and death of a group of ants? Only strong people like you are qualified to have an equal conversation with me here. As for those outside...huh!"
