Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1356: Late Night Tea and Conversation
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
"Pan Wu, look how frightened you are! Are the mysterious creatures that terrifying?"
Ye Yun laughed heartily.
On Jianyang Star, it seemed that everyone was reluctant to mention the mysterious creatures, as if there was some kind of taboo.
Therefore, Ye Yun didn’t know much about the mysterious creatures in the Open Sun Galaxy either.
His mockery of Pan Wu was just a tactic to extract more information.
"Ye Chen, what do you know? Mysterious creatures are hard to guard against and possess powerful parasitic abilities. Once parasitized, it’s difficult to expel them!"
Pan Wu roared in anger.
Parasitic?
Ye Yun’s expression changed, revealing an intrigued face.
This seemed a bit different from the mysterious creatures he had encountered before. Could it be a new variant?
"Alright, regarding the mysterious creatures... someone will naturally provide you with detailed communication. You should first settle down!"
Ji Quanli suddenly remarked.
"Yes!"
Pan Wu withdrew his gaze, his expression stern, and nodded immediately.
At this time, a tall young man came over and led the four out.
"This Ye Chen, the comprehension of the Void Canon Sword Technique has surpassed Vice Pavilion Master Lu, truly a monster..."
Watching Ye Yun’s silhouette disappear from sight, Ji Quanli murmured to himself, his face showing a look of shock.
He had received orders from Hall Master Ning Wuque to keep the two disciples at the Wind and Cloud Pavilion busy so they wouldn’t have time for cultivation.
Ji Quanli also understood that this was just the preliminary means.
He believed there would be a series of measures later on to make this Ye Chen submit and hand over the insights on the Void Canon Sword Technique obediently.
"What a pity, they can’t be used by my Hall of War God..."
Ji Quanli shook his head and sighed.
This time, several personnel were dispatched from the Black Abyss Star base, intentionally creating a situation where the base was short-staffed.
As such,
the two disciples of the Wind and Cloud Pavilion had no reason not to eliminate those mysterious creatures.
Such an arrangement,
made it difficult for the Vice Pavilion Masters and several Hall Masters to say anything more.
...
"Fellow junior brothers, our Black Abyss Star base has always been quite simple, so these four stone houses are your resting places..."
Standing in front of a row of black stone houses, a youth in the Seventh Level of the Divine King Realm pointed with his hand, smiling as he spoke.
"That’s okay."
Pan Wu and Leng Wufeng responded nonchalantly, smiling at the same time.
"These are waist tokens!"
The youth in the Seventh Level of the Divine King Realm waved his hand, and four waist tokens flew out.
The four of them took the waist tokens.
"These waist tokens allow you to freely enter and exit the base’s protective array, and they also record your achievements in slaying mysterious creatures. Wear them on your waist daily and take good care of them, as losing them would be a major loss!"
The young man cautioned.
"Understood."
Everyone nodded and then hung the waist tokens on their waists.
"Based on the distribution of mysterious creatures, we have divided Black Abyss Star into 999 regions. The Jade Slip contains a distribution map that each of you must memorize..."
The young man said, then handed each of the four a Jade Slip.
After waiting a moment,
seeing that the four had memorized the terrain map inside, the young man smiled again and said, "Starting tomorrow, Pan Wu and Leng Wufeng will form a group to clear the mysterious creatures in Area 998, and Ye Chen and Jiang Lengyue will form a group to clear the mysterious creatures in Area 999..."
"Senior brother, aren’t two people per group a bit too few?"
Ye Yun asked with a smile.
"There’s no other way. The divisions on Black Abyss Star are too many, so we always form groups of two. The mysterious creatures’ attack power isn’t as strong as us Sword Cultivators, but they have various parasitic methods. Just be careful not to get parasitized!"
The young man sighed.
Saying this, he handed each of them a small medicine bottle.
"This is the Purple Mixed Divine Pill. If you get parasitized, take it immediately. It won’t affect your combat strength and will allow you to safely retreat back to the base..."
The young man seriously instructed.
Ye Yun nodded.
He opened the bottle cap and glanced inside, finding ten purple pills lying quietly inside.
"Though mysterious creatures are strong, we worldly ones have ways to deal with them, so casualties are relatively minimal. Unless some extreme accidents occur, normally you won’t have to worry about your lives..."
Seeing the four looking a bit serious, the young man spread his hands and explained with a smile.
"We understand."
Pan Wu and Leng Wufeng nodded solemnly.
Jiang Lengyue put away the medicine bottle, her expression extremely calm.
"I’ll be leaving now. Tomorrow you start your actions, head to your assigned areas and kill mysterious creatures to earn more merits!"
The young man clasped his hands politely, smiled, and then turned and left.
"Take care, senior brother!"
Pan Wu grinned widely, hastily waving goodbye.
Seeing Pan Wu effortlessly make connections everywhere, Ye Yun smiled indifferently, clutching the medicine bottle in his hand, and leisurely walked towards the stone house on the far right.
Jiang Lengyue followed closely behind, entering with him.
Pan Wu widened his eyes.
"What’s going on here? A single man and woman sharing a room?"
He exclaimed in surprise.
"Dry wood and blazing fire, nothing good can come of it!"
Leng Wufeng snorted coldly, his nostrils flaring slightly, speaking with a hint of jealousy.
"Forget it, just ignore those two. Anyway, their combined strength is way weaker than ours. Who knows, they might get parasitized within a few days!"
Pan Wu chuckled, turned, and walked into one of the stone houses.
Leng Wufeng stood there, listening quietly for a while, found no expected noise, then, with a stern face, entered another stone house.
"Ye Chen, I promised Hall Master Mo to protect you after arriving at Black Abyss Star.
So, we’ll just stay together. Don’t overthink!"
Jiang Lengyue beamed a bright smile after entering the stone house.
"Alright."
Ye Yun shrugged his shoulders.
Having a beautiful woman accompanying him in such a simple abode did carry a certain romantic air, filling the room with a vibrant atmosphere.
"Miss Jiang, it’s a long night ahead. If you just stand around like that, it’s bound to get boring. How about we brew tea and chat through the night?"
Watching Jiang Lengyue stand rigidly in front of him, Ye Yun touched his nose, smiling as he suggested.
Tea?
Jiang Lengyue was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Ye Chen to have such leisurely interests at this moment.
"I happen to have tea sets and tea leaves..."
Coming to her senses, Jiang Lengyue waved eagerly, and a set of exquisite jade table and tea sets appeared between them out of thin air.
"Your tea leaves aren’t good..."
Ye Yun picked up the tea container, opened it for a look, and shook his head.
"Ye Chen, do you have better tea leaves than mine?"
Jiang Lengyue asked in surprise.
Ye Yun took out a tea container and tossed it to Jiang Lengyue, laughing, "This jar is for you. You can open it and compare..."
Jiang Lengyue caught the jar, opened it, and was instantly stunned.
The lush green tea leaves emitted a certain aura of the great path, and the surface of the crystalline leaves was filled with many patterns.
This tea was extraordinary.
Jiang Lengyue was visibly shocked: "Ye Chen, what kind of tea is this?"
"Mandala Immortal Tea."
Ye Yun replied with a smile.
Mandala Immortal Tea, only drinkable by those above the True God Realm, with the effects growing stronger as the cultivation base increases.
This Immortal Tea is quite unique, containing powerful life force as well as destructive power.
The life force can enhance cultivation, while the destructive power can temper the body.
"I’ve never heard of it..."
Jiang Lengyue shook her head, and recalling the Nameless Fruit, smiled wryly, "Ye Chen, you always seem to bring out things I don’t recognize!"
"Do I?" Ye Yun laughed heartily.
Jiang Lengyue got busy, and after a while, two cups of fragrant tea were brewed.
Ye Yun picked up his teacup and took a gentle sip.
Jiang Lengyue did the same.
The tea left a fragrant aftertaste in their mouths, and once it entered their abdomens, a strong life force and power of destruction spread outward.
"Great tea!"
Jiang Lengyue’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Under the impact of these two forces, the bottleneck of her cultivation base seemed to loosen at this moment.
