Above the misty night sky, a cluster of black shadow flew towards Ye Chen at a seemingly slow speed.
As it got closer, Ye Chen finally saw the real body of the black shadow.
Five ghost-like human figures in white robes were carrying a huge coffin. The coffin was one meter long and one meter wide. It was completely black, and did not look like it was made from wood. Instead, it looked like it was carved from a whole black rock. It was heavy, creepy, creepy, but it also had a majestic aura.
Five white shadows were carrying a coffin, flying above the endless night sky. If a normal person saw it, he or she would have fainted on the ground, thinking that they were here to capture his or her soul and drag him or her into hell. However, Ye Chen was a martial artist, and once a martial artist reached the late stage of his or her cultivation, he or she would be able to turn the ocean upside down, go up into the sky and into the ground, reverse life and death, and control the natural law.
Plus, these five white shadows were not ghosts. They should be martial artists who had trained some kind of special martial arts, as they were moving very fast, as if they did not have a physical body.
"Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists, they are definitely Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists. Judging from that creepy and mysterious qi, they are even more powerful than the Head Master of the Sky Cloud Martial School, only slightly weaker than the leader Luo Xinglie." Ye Chen's soul power was extremely powerful. Once he glanced at anyone, he would be able to compare them with people he had seen before, and come to a conclusion very quickly. Therefore, even though he could not see through the cultivation of these white shadows, he was still able to analyze their power through comparison.
A chill ran down his spine. Ye Chen could not help but wonder what was in that coffin. Was it a person, or was it just a dead body? The latter was impossible, as it would be too much to ask five Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists to carry a dead body. There was only one explanation left, which was that there was someone in the coffin, a powerful martial artist whose cultivation was not below the Astral Reaching Realm. Otherwise, there was no way that a Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist could carry a coffin.
An Astral Reaching Realm martial artist!
Ye Chen licked his dry lips, not daring to move. It had been a long time since an Astral Reaching Realm martial artist had come out to the Windy Nation. The leaders of the top five martial institutions, such as the leader of the Emerald Martial School, the leader of the North Snow Martial Academy, the leader of the Purple Sun Martial School, the leader of the Rudra Martial School, and the leader of the Sky Cloud Martial School. These five people were all at the peak of Of Late Clasping Yuan Realm, and were extremely powerful. However, the premise was that an Astral Reaching Realm martial artist did not come out, otherwise, even they would have to stand aside.
The sky was filled with dark clouds. Five white figures carried the coffin and floated in front of the dark clouds. Their white robes were blown by the air currents, dragging very long. They were like the White Impermanence who wanted to take someone's life, but also like a lonely and ferocious spirit.
After a few flickers, the scene of the five ghosts carrying the coffin disappeared without a trace, leaving only the dark clouds that were still spreading.
Ye Chen wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, feeling a lingering fear.
"Young hero, what are you doing outside? An empty room has already been prepared for you," the man said through the window in the room.
"Alright."
After settling the dark brown horse down, Ye Chen turned around and left.
The empty room wasn't big. There was a bed, a table, and a chair inside. There was also an oil lamp hanging on the wall. The oil lamp emitted an orange glow, barely illuminating the entire room.
"Rest well. Let me know if you need anything. I'll get it done for you immediately." The man standing at the door could not hide his joy. Five taels of silver! The living conditions of Huangshi Village were not high, but it was enough for his family to live for two to three months. They would rise from the ranks of being able to fill their stomachs to being rich.
Ye Chen thought about it and said, "It might rain after midnight. Find some villagers to build a shed so that my horse won't get wet. Here are ten taels of silver. Give it to the villagers who are willing to work."
After saying that, Ye Chen gave him another two pieces of silver.
"Good, good, I'll find someone to do it right away. Only an idiot wouldn't do it." The man's eyes lit up as he respectfully took the silver from Ye Chen's hands.
After the man left, Ye Chen waved his hand and the door closed automatically.
Sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, he took out two low-rank soul stones from his storage ring. Ye Chen started his daily Zhen Qi training.
In the past, although Ye Chen was very diligent in his training, and could even be said to be very hardworking, he had not reached the point of forgetting himself. The so-called forgetting himself meant that there was nothing else besides training, and everything else would be centered around training. Anything that hindered his training, he would have to overcome or give up.
Before, Ye Chen didn't think much of it. He thought that his training speed was fast enough. With his powerful body, he could absorb two portions of Yuan Qi from the soul stones at the same time. However, after seeing the five ghosts carrying the coffin tonight, he felt uneasy. His instinct told him that something big was going to happen. This big event might affect the entire Windy Nation, or even beyond that.
As for whether he was overthinking it or not, he didn't know. But it was better to take precautions than to do nothing. The former could help him live longer.
Ye Chen's Zhen Qi started to circulate inside his body, one round after another.
Late at night!
There was a cracking sound.
A few cracks appeared on the two low-rank soul stones in Ye Chen's palms.
Slowly opening his eyes, Ye Chen let out a long breath. His breath was like a fog or an arrow, shooting out very far away. It even blew the wall on the other side of the wall, causing stone chips to fall down.
"A normal Early Condensing Reality Realm warrior consumes one low-rank soul stone in five days, but I consume two in four days. My speed is two and a half times faster than others. But in terms of progress, I guess it's only two times faster. The quality of the Pure Jun Zhen Qi is a bit higher, so I need more Yuan Qi from the soul stones. "
Throwing away the cracked low-rank soul stones, Ye Chen felt even more grateful to the owner of the mid-rank storage ring. If it weren't for those ten thousand low-rank soul stones, he wouldn't have been able to absorb the Yuan Qi from the soul stones so easily. Two low-rank soul stones in four days, twenty in forty days, and two hundred in four hundred days. And that didn't include his breakthrough to the Mid and Late Condensing Reality Realm. At that time, he would consume even more low-rank soul stones, which ordinary people wouldn't be able to afford.
Of course, the Ye family could afford it, but it would be troublesome to explain. First of all, Ye Chen had to explain why he was consuming two times faster than others, and he didn't want to reveal any information about the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell yet.
It was late at night, the crescent moon was covered by dark clouds, and the sky was dark.
Without taking off his clothes, Ye Chen went straight to sleep, but he still had a little bit of consciousness.
After midnight, just as Ye Chen expected, it started to rain heavily. The sound of the rain covered everything, washing away all the dirt on the ground.
The rain didn't stop until the next morning.
Unable to reject the man and his wife's enthusiasm, Ye Chen gave up the idea of leaving immediately, and sat down to have breakfast with them. They had a little daughter, who was only three or four years old. She was wearing simple clothes, and her eyes were big and watery. She was eating with a small bowl of food, and her voice was very cute, which was also one of the reasons why Ye Chen was willing to stay for breakfast.
After breakfast, Ye Chen thought the little girl was cute, so he gave her a piece of jade. This piece of jade was not worth much, he bought it especially for the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell. There were hundreds of pieces in total, and there were still a few left, each worth less than thirty silvers. Normally, he didn't care about it, but now, it was a good gift.
As the little girl thanked him in her childish voice, Ye Chen chuckled and walked out of the house.
At the entrance of the village, Ye Chen jumped on the horse and rode away.
