Chapter 128: Ancient Formless Scripture
Ji Ziyue’s mouth was twisted as she stared at Ye Fan while continuing huffily: “Want treasures? No way. Want the ancient scripture? Thats simply impossible. There’s only the life of an immortal here, do what you must!”
“You’re really quite the gangster.”Ye Fan was amused: “Using your words, if you aren’t honest, I have many ways to deal with you.”
Ji Ziyue used her pearly white teeth to gently nibble her red lips, her head was twisted to the side as she looked at the clouds by the horizon, seeming to want to say something before finally swallowing her words down.
Ye Fan did not immediately act to interrogate her, he had time and it was more important to temper and refine the profound earth essence, his cauldron was already shattered, it was currently together with the aurichalcite leaving him extremely worried.
Within the wheel and spring, the aurichalcite was motionless as profound earth essence swirled around it, the shattered cauldron ebbed and flowed, mixing together with the profound earth making it impossible to differentiate one from the other.
Ji Ziyue made a lot of sense, with the cauldron shattered, it was actually a chance and not a disaster for Ye Fan.
“Since it’s shattered, I will reforge it!” Ye Fan’s concentration was on his divine spring, the divine energy within his Wheel and Sea was carefully squeezing the shattered cauldron.
What he needed to do right now was not to immediately forge, rather, he needed to completely shatter the cauldron, allowing it to fully integrate with the profound earth essence.
Shattering the cauldron within his sea of bitterness was akin to shattering his own body, his divine energy rotated as his focus submerged within, giving him an impression of crushing his own body.
The profound earth essence was shining like the moonlight, extremely eye-catching as it continually merged with the shattered cauldron, under Ye Fan’s control, the two gradually became indistinguishable, gradually turning into a streak of light.
It continued to swirl around the aurichalcite, misty, mystical and profound. Finally, within the light, the sharpness receded as it became simple and unadorned, strands of profound earth dual qi naturally circulated, giving one a feeling of inconceivability.
Since the beginning of the world, small amounts of heaven’s essence and earth’s quintessence were produced, these were the origin qi of all living things, they contained an unfathomably mysterious energy which was a priceless treasure for forging artifacts!
Ye Fan carefully controlled, he was in no rush to forge his cauldron, in order to fully assimilate the two, he continually tempered and refined the qi, directing it towards the seal of the aurichalcite at the same time.
Using the essence of profound earth to encompass the aurichalcite, continually forging and engraving, wanting to fuse the two, engraving the naturally formed Dao Inscriptions on to it.
This was destined to be a long process, he needed time to slowly sharpen on the grindstone, initially everything went smoothly without any problems, this was an auspicious beginning.
In this manner, Ye Fan lived temporarily by the shore of the lake, adding a number of seals onto the binding of Ji Ziyue to prevent her from breaking through her restraints. Time passed swiftly and in the blink of an eye half a month had already gone by. Mist filled the lake as gleaming reflections of waves in the sunlight could be seen, the lush, green trees by the shore coupled with the fragrant flowers and plants.
Beneath a sprawling ancient tree, Ji Ziyue was motionless, restrained there. Ye Fan ignored her shrill cries as he focused, using the pen within his hand to draw onto her pristine jade-like face.
His hand moved swiftly, drawing a toad as he nodded, apparently very satisfied. Placing the pen by the side, he lifted a mirror and placed it before Ji Ziyue.
“Aaaaahhhh!” Zi Ji Yue screamed as though she had met with a terrifying incident, piercing to the extreme. She was incensed as she grit her teeth, staring hatefully at Ye Fan.
“Half a month has gone by but you’ve only written the first part of the ancient scripture for me, that’s simply too little. I require the full text…….” Having said this, Ye Fan suddenly diverted the topic carefully and systematically: “I have the profound earth essence, one would be hard pressed to find it even after tens of thousands of years, if you are willing to fully transmit the ancient scripture, I will gift you the origin qi of all living things. This will be mutually beneficial, no one will take a loss.” Ji Ziyue was moved as her large eyes blinked: “I need time to consider.”
“Don’t think I don’t know that you’re trying to delay time.” Ye Fan sat there as he prepared pen and paper, releasing the seal on Ji Ziyue’s right hand: “Stop hesitating, the origin qi of all living things is right before you, don’t you wish to acquire it?”
Ji Ziyue angrily continued: “You’re too much, I’ve already given you countless treasures, you really don’t know how to be satisfied. At the worst I’ll die together with you. If I die, the mark on my body will immediately alert the Ji Family, everything that has occurred thus far will be exposed……”
Ye Fan was speechless, placing a phoenix hairpin, two bracelets and a pair of earrings before her: “How could I possibly use these items? If you hand me the ancient scripture, I will return all of them to you.”
Ji Ziyue’s expression immediately changed as she said sobbingly: “It’s not that I don’t wish to write the ancient scripture, the elders of my family have placed a restriction within my sea of bitterness, if I dare to leak any information, I will immediately die…….”
Ye Fan lightly laughed: “Don’t pretend to be pitiful, I don’t believe your words in the slightest.”
Ji Ziyue’s beautiful eyes became watery as she helplessly bawled: “I’ve never had enmity with you, I even let the people of the demon race go, I’ve never had the thought of hurting you but you actually treat me in this manner……”
This made Ye Fan feel ashamed, after capturing this troublemaker, he found it really difficult to deal with her. He could not kill her but leaving her was also leaving a threat behind, constantly pressing for the ancient scripture but failing to acquire the mystical technique.
“I must acquire the ancient scripture no matter what, stop acting……”
Ji Ziyue expression changed once again, the water in her eyes seemed to dry up as she exposed her pearly white teeth: “I’ll duke it out with you!”
“Alright, let’s do this.” Ye Fan began to take off her shoes and socks.
Ji Ziyue shrilly cried: “What are you doing? Stop!”
“Are you going to write the ancient scripture or not?”
“I….!!”
Ye Fan had removed her shoes and socks, exposing her pristine tiny feet, like pure white jade, sparkling and translucent, specks of flickering lights could be seen on her glossy, delicate and beautiful legs.
