C144 The Third Palace Master's Extortion
After coming out of Martial Arts Hall, Ye Bufan had slowly digested his insights after two days. At this moment, Ye Bufan looked sharper and more reserved. If one did not observe carefully, it would be hard to tell that Ye Bufan was also a cultivator.
Suddenly, Ye Bufan felt a faint wave of spiritual energy rushing towards him from afar. He secretly used his Divine Sense and found that the person who came was Fourth Palace Lord.
Ye Bufan naturally knew why Fourth Palace Lord came. A trace of ridicule flashed across his face. After that, he flew in the opposite direction and escaped from the scene at lightning speed.
The Five Connection Palace was the territory that Third Palace Lord, Hao Zhifeng, managed.
Similarly, Third Palace Lord, who had just awakened from his enlightenment, was currently strolling on the peak of the Five Connection Mountain. For some reason, after listening to Ye Bufan's explanation of the Dao, Third Palace Lord felt as if he had opened up a new door for himself. The flowers, grass, sand, and wood in front of him seemed to be very different from what he had seen before. However, he could not tell exactly what was different.
He plucked a plum blossom, and a faint fragrance flowed through his nostrils into his lungs. In exchange, he felt refreshed. His gaze never shifted away as he stared intently at the Labyrinth Plum in his hand. His pupils would sometimes gather and sometimes scatter. It seemed like outsiders did not know what Third Palace Lord was looking at at at this time.
"A flower and a world, a tree and a life. A grass and a heaven. One leaf, one Buddha. One sand, one paradise. One pure land. One smile, one mortal fate. One thought, one peace." After saying that, Ye Bufan appeared not far behind Third Palace Lord.
"One flower, one world, one tree, one life..." Third Palace Lord repeated Ye Bufan's words and slowly turned around, "This is the first time Palace Lord Ye has visited my Five Connection Palace in all these years in Aoyun Sect!"
Third Palace Lord could not put on any airs in front of Ye Bufan at this moment. Furthermore, Ye Bufan had saved his life from the Great Elder during the battle with Netherworld Palace, so he was much more casual with Ye Bufan.
"Today, as soon as I went out, I sensed that Fourth Palace Lord was looking for me. So, I came to Third Palace Lord's place to seek refuge!" Ye Bufan smiled lightly.
Everyone had a deep understanding of Fourth Palace Lord's temper. Third Palace Lord could not help but smile and shake his head. "In that case, it doesn't matter if Palace Lord Ye stays here for a few more days. I believe Fourth Brother would not think that you would hide in my place."
Currently, Third Palace Lord naturally wished that Ye Bufan could stay here. If there was a chance to have a good discussion with Ye Bufan, perhaps his path of cultivation would reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble, although Ye Bufan was so young. In Third Palace Lord's heart, Ye Bufan indeed had the ability to do so.
At least, after listening to Ye Bufan's lecture the other day and going back to the Five Connection Palace to meditate for a while, Third Palace Lord felt that he had touched the edge of the peak of Fifth Rank of Spirit Stage, a feeling that he hadn't felt for many years.
"I also have something to ask Third Palace Lord about!" Ye Bufan naturally wouldn't come here just to avoid Fourth Palace Lord.
A trace of doubt flashed across Third Palace Lord's eyes. The combat strength and cultivation base that Ye Bufan displayed were not lower than his. What other aspects did he need to consult him on? "I'm sorry to say this, but I'm afraid that Second Senior Brother hasn't taught you anything. Forget about asking for guidance!"
Ye Bufan did not say much. With a bang, he took out the Dragon Roar Sword from the storage bracelet and handed it to Third Palace Lord. He said, "This is the spirit sword that I refined before I entered the Aoyun Sect. I hope Third Palace Lord can give me some guidance."
Third Palace Lord had naturally seen the Dragon Roar Sword in Ye Bufan's hand many times. Although he felt that this sword was not bad, it was only not bad.
After all, whether it was the refining method or the Dao Rune carving, there were still many shortcomings when compared to him.
However, now that he knew that it was refined by Ye Bufan before he entered the Aoyun Sect, it was a huge difference! One had to know that Ye Bufan was only an Eighth Rank of Power Stage when he first entered the Aoyun Sect. Such strength was almost negligible in the eyes of the five Palace Masters.
"Did you draw this Dao Rune?" Third Palace Lord's tone was filled with uncertainty. After all, no matter how talented Ye Bufan was, it was impossible for him to comprehend the Dao when he was only at the Power Stage. It was even more impossible for him to draw such a Dao Rune.
Since Ye Bufan took out the Dragon Roar Sword, he didn't plan to hide anything from him. He nodded.
After getting confirmation from Ye Bufan, Third Palace Lord remembered that Ye Bufan's astonishing performance didn't start from Evil Space. It started from the moment he entered Aoyun Sect. The cultivation speed of the transformation technique had left Fourth Palace Lord in awe of his skill in alchemy. The amazing combat strength of the Heroic Competition, the ability to devour Fire of Earth's Core...
Just when everyone thought that they had a good understanding of Ye Bufan, he would bring a new surprise. At this moment, Third Palace Lord even began to suspect that Ye Bufan's cultivation base did not come from Evil Space. There was another reason, however, Ye Bufan had never shown any signs of harming the Aoyun Sect. On the contrary, he had brought back a lot of benefits for the Aoyun Sect in the Evil Space, and had risked his life to defend the Netherworld Palace.
Until now, the upper echelons of the Aoyun Sect had always thought that the Netherworld Palace had launched a sneak attack on the Aoyun Sect because they wanted to nibble away at the Aoyun Sect, but they didn't know that it had something to do with Ye Bufan.
"You were only at the Power Stage at that time, but you knew how to use the Dao Rune?" Although he wasn't willing to investigate Ye Bufan's background, Third Palace Lord couldn't help but ask in shock.
Regarding this, Ye Bufan had already thought of the right words, "When I was young, I accidentally saw an ancient book that recorded the Dao Rune in my family's library, so I memorized some of it."
As a senior researcher of the Dao Rune, Third Palace Lord naturally wouldn't believe Ye Bufan's words, but at this time, he wasn't willing to expose it, so he changed the topic and said, "You want to learn the Dao Rune?"
Ye Bufan nodded, "I think the Netherworld Palace must have a sect protecting Dao Rune like the Aoyun Sect, right?"
Only now did Third Palace Lord understand why Ye Bufan would ask him for the Dao Rune. Ye Bufan's father was still in the Netherworld Palace's hands. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The sect protecting Dao Rune of the Netherworld Palace is not easy to break. At least I don't have the ability to do so!"
"I know that too, but it's not a bad thing to know more about the Dao Rune. Third Palace Lord isn't trying to hide it from me, is he?" Ye Bufan naturally had his own plans and said in a mocking tone.
Feeling Ye Bufan's determination, Third Palace Lord said helplessly, "If you like my craftsmanship, just learn it. I will let Qing Xuan bring you to the Compendium Pavilion later to take a look. You first learn some basic knowledge, then come and find me to study it. "
Hee Qingxuan, Third Palace Lord's eldest disciple, fought Yunqing when she advanced to the top five in the Elite Competition. He was defeated by Yunqing, so Ye Bufan still had some impression of this person.
"Greetings, Palace Lord Ye!" After seeing Ye Bufan, Hee Qingxuan greeted him very naturally.
If it was five days ago, perhaps Hee Qingxuan would still feel a little awkward. After all, Ye Bufan had just entered the Aoyun Sect, and he had already advanced to the Palace Lord realm not long ago. This would at least cause some of the younger disciples to lose their balance.
However, after Ye Bufan talked about swords in the arena, and then about his understanding of the Dao, he had deeply convinced all the disciples of the Aoyun Sect. At this moment, everyone finally understood that it was not a coincidence that Ye Bufan had advanced to the palace master. He did indeed have such strength.
Ye Bufan raised his hand and supported him, "No need to be so polite!"
Although Ye Bufan did not care about these formalities, he understood that in the hearts of cultivators, there was a strict hierarchy in the sect. Even if he was the one who led the group, it would not be easy for him to destroy it.
"Palace Lord Ye, please follow me!" After saying that, Hee Qingxuan led Ye Bufan towards the Compendium Pavilion.
Standing behind Ye Bufan, Hee Qingxuan's emotions seemed to fluctuate a little. The closer they got to the Compendium Pavilion, the more he felt this way. At this moment, his footsteps were a little messy.
Naturally, such a change couldn't escape Ye Bufan's senses. He paused for a moment and asked, "Is there anything you need?"
After being asked by Ye Bufan, Hee Qingxuan's face instantly turned red. "Disciple... Disciple... There are still some parts of the sword technique that Palace Lord Ye talked about that day that I have yet to fully comprehend. Does Palace Lord Ye have time to answer my doubts? " After saying that, Hee Qingxuan lowered his head even lower, not daring to look at Ye Bufan's expression.
As the biggest sect in Wanfeng Country, although the atmosphere in Aoyun Sect was peaceful, there was also a strict hierarchy, or something else. Hee Qingxuan didn't dare to ask so rashly, but after reading the sword technique that Ye Bufan talked about in the past few days... He felt that his sword technique had improved a lot, but there were a few areas that he still didn't understand. He felt an itch in his heart that he couldn't bear, and that was why he asked this question.
Ye Bufan said with a smile, "I thought it was something big, but this matter is naturally not difficult. You just need to tell me." Ye Bufan naturally understood that this must be because Third Palace Lord wanted to fulfill his wish. That was why he let Hee Qingxuan lead the way for him.
After getting Ye Bufan's permission, the rock in Hee Qingxuan's heart finally settled down. His master's words were indeed correct. Immediately, he asked Ye Bufan about the few things that Ye Bufan did not understand that day.
As Ye Bufan slowly walked forward, he explained the meaning of the words to Hee Qingxuan in more detail. Hearing this, Hee Qingxuan was speechless. No wonder Palace Lord Ye was able to defeat Palace Master Long in the Elite Competition. His understanding of sword techniques has already left us far behind.
After arriving at the Compendium Pavilion, Hee Qingxuan stopped in his tracks and waited for Ye Bufan to enter. He impatiently drew out his heavy sword and began to perform the moves one by one. In the past, it was simple hacking, stabbing, hacking... But now, in Hee Qingxuan's hands, it already looked like he was doing something big. He already had the air of a master.
Ye Bufan who entered the Compendium Pavilion naturally did not know about these things. Looking at the rows of bookcases and books, Ye Bufan sucked in a breath of cold air. After reading all of these, it would probably not be three to five days worth of effort.
But Ye Bufan also knew his own weakness. In his previous life, he focused on alchemy, and he was almost an amateur when it came to the Dao of Formation. In order to break open the Netherworld Palace's Dao Rune, he needed to make up for this weakness of his.
He picked up a book from the door and started flipping through it. After entering the library of Ye family and Danqing Palace, Ye Bufan knew that the books in this world's library started from the opening of the door, and the deeper he went, the more profound it became.
Fortunately, after entering the Golden Core stage, his divine sense was extremely powerful. After reading through it once, he could completely remember the contents of the book in his heart. Even so, it took Ye Bufan three whole days and three nights to finish reading the entire Compendium Pavilion.
When he came out of the library, Hee Qingxuan was still waiting at the door. There were five people standing behind him. Ye Bufan immediately recognized that these were Hee Qingxuan's junior brother, Third Palace Lord's direct disciple.
"Greetings, Palace Lord Ye!" Looking at the passionate eyes of these Third Palace Lord's disciples, Ye Bufan couldn't help but shake his head slightly. This old fox was usually a man of few words, and he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
