Chapter 363 - Precision Strike (1/2)

...

She was wearing sneakers, her fair ankles exposed. She was very fast and arrived in front of Ye Xiao in two to three steps.

It was obvious that she had used some movement techniques.

"Ye Xiao, long time no see."

Ye Xiao raised his head and glanced at her before nodding.

"You've returned from the starry sky?"

The person who had come was none other than Qin Yuyan.

She nodded her head gently.

"Yes."

Then, she could not help but ask,

"There was an old man who had just left. Did you notice what he was doing here?"

Ye Xiao knew that Qin Yuyan was asking about Beitang Ce.

After all, Beitang Ce could be considered a celebrity.

She had definitely heard of him before.

Regarding that, Ye Xiao shook his head.

"I didn't see it. I've been reading just now."

"Alright then."

Qin Yuyan was slightly disappointed, but she quickly returned to her normal mood. Then, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket.

"Hey, as I said before, I'll give you some reward for helping me learn the method to steal the divine tomb.

"This is a medicinal pill that I found in the starry sky. It's some imperial pills. The spiritual energy inside is very rich, so I'll give it to you."

Imperial pills were already quite a generous reward.

It could be seen that Qin Yuyan was very practical.

"There's no need to be so polite. Take it back. It's just a small matter for me to help you. Imperial pills are too expensive."

Qin Yuyan smiled speechlessly.

"It's you who shouldn't be so polite. I obtained a lot of good things in the starry sky this time.

"The imperial pill isn't that precious to me now. I still have a lot of it. You can keep it."

Ye Xiao could not be bothered to decline. He nodded and accepted it.

"Thank you then."

The reason why he accepted Qin Yuyan's things was mainly that he felt that Qin Yuyan and he were not on the same side.

She was not like Senior Beitang Ce and the others, who could only be considered ordinary friends with him.

Therefore, there was no need to be so polite between the two of them. They had to be more business-like.

Although he had taken Qin Yuyan's gifts, he would also give her advice when she came to look for books in the future.

It could be considered as taking what they needed.

Ye Xiao noticed that Qin Yuyan's cultivation had advanced another realm, reaching the strength of Xiantian eighth grade.

That made Ye Xiao unable to help but have some doubts.

That was because, under normal circumstances, Qin Yuyan's cultivation speed should be on par with Beitang Ce and the other seniors. At most, she would only be slightly better than them.

However, her cultivation speed had increased, and it was clearly much better than the other seniors.

It was very puzzling.

Ye Xiao used his mental energy to probe Qin Yuyan and suddenly discovered some strange differences.

The blood essence in Qin Yuyan's divine blood was slightly thicker than others' divine blood. It was almost the same as his own.

The difference could not be said to be too great, but under Ye Xiao's precise spiritual fluctuations, he could see it at a glance.

The problem was that the reason why Ye Xiao's divine blood essence was so strong was entirely because he had absorbed a large amount of divine blood before transcending the tribulation and becoming a god. Many people had passed their divine blood to him.

Regardless of whether it was King Zhou, the Emperor's Spirit Steele, or the divine blood of the ancestors, all of them had been absorbed by him.

When he finally advanced, it was equivalent to gathering the divine blood of dozens of people together, compressing, refining, and purifying it.

Only then did he obtain such vigorous divine blood.

However, Qin Yuyan did not do anything and was already close to reaching her own level.

Could it be that she had eaten some kind of natural treasure?

However, natural treasures should not have such a powerful effect.

Perhaps, it could be... Someone in her lineage's ancestors had raised their cultivation base to a very powerful level, and as a result, she had indirectly benefited from it.

However, that theory did not work either.

That was because he was the same as Qin Yuyan. They were all descendants of the Xuan Yuan clan, and they were all the same ancestors.

There was no reason why the ancestors of any of the branches had enhanced. Her blood essence had increased, but Qin Yuyan's blood essence had not.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Qin Yuyan was a little puzzled.

She did not think that Ye Xiao had a good impression of her. She knew that he was not that kind of person.

He was not as dirty as those other men. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he would have some bad thoughts.

Ye Xiao retracted his gaze.

"It's nothing. Since you've just returned from the starry sky, it's better for you to rest a little more to prevent your state of mind from fluctuating."

"Yes, you're right. I'll go back and rest in a while. Help me find two books. They still have to be related to arrays. I want to understand more about them.
