There are too many girls, which greatly delays my cultivation of immortality.

In the torn abdomen of the snow leopard, a green bead the size of a fingernail shone with a faint light.

Is this what Xue Songtao calls the Demon Pill?

He couldn't wait to take out the ball and was surprised.

It turns out that there is spiritual energy stored in the demon pill.

He tried to channel the spiritual energy in it for his own use, and he succeeded.

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Just now in the secret realm, he was confused. Why could Xue Songtao use spiritual power to practice magic here?

I have Shi Yingchun as a source of spiritual energy. What kind of spiritual energy does he carry?

At this point, he understood.

Presumably not all animals can be trained to become monsters. If you want to cultivate into a demon, you must have the ability to carry spiritual energy like Shi Yingchun.

Through practice, they condensed such a demon pill in their bodies. As the demon elixir continues to strengthen, its ability to carry spiritual energy will also be strengthened.

They only need to go to a place with spiritual energy to replenish it when the spiritual energy in their body is exhausted.

Being able to carry spiritual energy by himself, it seems that the strength of the demon clan cannot be underestimated!

He thought to himself, just now Xue Songtao thought I was a demon clan and clamored to suck my demon spirit and take my demon pill. It shows that this demon pill should be very useful for cultivation.

How to use? Could it be that eating it will give you the ability to carry spiritual energy?

Ye Qingchen didn't dare to act rashly. After all, it was what he put into his mouth, so he couldn't be careless.

He put the demon pill in his arms and studied it slowly later.

He turned around and walked towards Nangong Feiyu.

The Chu people's eyes suddenly became wary, and they all took a few steps back.

Ye Qingchen smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?"

Nangong Feiyu composed himself, bowed his hands, and said with great shame: "Eunuch Ye, just now, we... alas!"

Lu Danyang knelt down with a plop and said: "Eunuch Ye, I was the one who tricked everyone to kill you just now. If you want to vent your anger, just kill me. Please don't embarrass His Highness the Third Prince and the Princess!"

Ye Qingchen said seriously: "You just had a mental breakdown and lost your mind. How can I blame you? If you feel guilty towards me, just be loyal to Princess Feixue in the future!"

All the Chu people seemed to be unable to believe that Ye Qingchen let them go so easily.

After all, just now they were so aggressive that they wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood! Will he really not hold grudges?

Ye Qingchen said: "We have been delayed in the secret realm for four days, we must set off as soon as possible!"

Shi Yingchun said worriedly: "Tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday. We have been hungry for four days and have no strength at all. I don't know if we can make it in time."

The people of Chu knew that what she said was reasonable, and they were immediately dejected.

They had been suffering from cold and hunger for four days, and had just experienced a fierce battle. Now it was difficult for them to even crawl, let alone use their internal strength to run fast?

Nangong Feiyu sighed and said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, there is no other way. We can only take one step at a time. Everyone, get ready to go!"

At this time, Nan Munchun said in surprise: "Hey, look!"

Looking in the direction he pointed, I saw two people driving horses slowly coming towards the entrance of the canyon.

"what happened?"

Everyone was puzzled. Logically speaking, no matter how slow they walked, how could they still fall behind after four days?

Nangong Feiyu said: "They are all trustworthy people personally selected by Mr. Lu. It is impossible to walk so slowly because of laziness. Let's ask for details when they come over."

Lu Danyang nodded and said: "Your Highness is right. Besides, there is dry food on the horses, so we can just replenish it."

Knowing that there would be food soon, everyone in the Chu state showed joy.

After a while, two guards in green clothes who were driving their horses approached. Seeing the people here, they didn't seem surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to salute the prince and princess.

Nangong Feiyu ordered: "Everyone eat something first before talking!"

After saying that, he took the lead in taking off a bag of dry food from the horse and handed it to Ye Qingchen.

"Eunuch Ye, let's make do with what we have to satisfy our hunger!"

Ye Qingchen took it and ate it with Shi Yingchun.

The rest of the Chu people also took off their dry food bags from their horses, took out the food and wolfed it down.

It was as if they had never eaten such delicious food. Everyone started chatting and laughing, and the canyon suddenly came back to life.

After a while, everyone had almost eaten, and some even burped.

Lu Danyang looked at the two green-clothed guards driving the horses and asked in a deep voice: "It's been four days, how did you get here?"

The two men looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

"Sir, what...what four days?" one of them asked.

Lu Danyang asked: "How long have we been separated?"

"It should have been more than an hour." The green-clothed guard replied lightly.

"what?"

Everyone's eyes widened and they exclaimed in unison.

Even Ye Qingchen looked surprised.

They obviously spent four difficult days in the secret realm, but only one hour passed in the outside world?

Such a strange thing is naturally difficult for these Chu people to imagine.

However, Ye Qingchen soon understood.

"It must be that the time in the secret realm is not consistent with the outside world. No matter how good it is, we didn't delay even one day!"

Although everyone couldn't understand it, there was no other reason to explain it.

Ye Qingchen thought to himself, but he didn't expect that the secret realm was not only independent of space, but also independent of time.

The demon clan has begun to use spiritual power, and its strength may not be much different from that of immortal cultivators. But it is incredible that Taoist monks can create secret realms without using spiritual power!

"Great!" Nangong Feiyu said happily, "Then we will continue to move forward according to the original plan!"

……

It was already dusk as we approached Yingjun City.

After all, it was indecent and unbecoming of royalty to be carried on someone's back. So when they were still two or three miles away from the city, the prince and princess of Chu State went down to the ground and walked.

The eldest princess Xiao Qin led the royal guard of honor and was already waiting outside the city gate.

As soon as the etiquette was completed, the Chu people got on the carriages of the honor guard, marched into the city, and headed towards the Royal Courtyard.

The eldest princess invited Ye Qingchen and Shi Yingchun to ride in the same car. On the way, they mentioned that they had strayed into the secret realm in the canyon. When the eldest princess heard that the two of them had been hungry for four days and three nights in the ice and snow, she was so distressed that she shed tears.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect it to be so dangerous!" the eldest princess said with lingering fear, "If I had known this, I would never have let you go."

After saying that, she approached Shi Yingchun again, hugged her shoulders and said, "Miss Shi, I've really suffered a lot for you!"

Shi Yingchun smiled and said: "Eldest Princess, don't worry. In fact, with Mr. Ye here, I'm not afraid at all."

Seeing the sweet and happy smile on her face, the eldest princess couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Ye Qingchen said: "When it comes to suffering, there must be some. Being cold and hungry is a trivial matter, but that kind of fear and despair can really destroy a person's will.

In fact, before Xue Songtao showed up, I had nothing to do. I even suspected that this little life might be handed over there. "

The eldest princess said distressedly: "Listening to what you said, I can feel the same way. Mr. Ye, it's really hard for you!"

Ye Qingchen smiled evilly and said, "Is there any reward?"

The eldest princess turned her face away from Shi Yingchun, glared at him sideways, and said with ambiguous eyes: "When everything here is settled, I will definitely reward you heavily!"
