The spirit beast is bound to its owner's life, which is why the spirit tribe can easily be coerced by others. As long as you catch either the spirit beast or its owner, you can coerce the other.
Now that Yunli is successful in practicing outside, he is not so easy to catch, and the hair ball has become Yunli's weakness.
It's just that Yunli didn't expect that no one in the outside world would use this weakness of his. When he returned to the clan, he would be exploited by the clan leader, who was still his own grandmother.
"Grandma, why is there such a quarrel between us?"
Yunli was very sad. She had always cared about the Spirit Clan and her family. She didn't expect that after she came back, she failed to fully appreciate the warmth of home and ended up in such a tense situation with her clan members.
"I don't want to see you bring disaster to the Spirit Clan. I am the leader of the clan first, and then your grandmother. I must be responsible for the people of the clan."
The old patriarch's expression was cold and the warmth he had at the beginning was gone.
On the other hand, some of the other clan members couldn't bear to see the two of them making such a fuss, and tried to make peace with each other.
"We are all a family, and we don't have to do this. Old patriarch, don't be angry. It's normal for young people to have their own ideas.
Yunli, don't go against your grandma. She has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Your grandma knows better than you when you should do something. "
The people trying to persuade him to make peace tried to coax him, but the core idea was to make Yunli surrender.
Forced by the situation, Yunli seemed to have no other choice but to bow his head.
"Now that grandma has made her decision, I have nothing to say, but I can conclude that if we cannot be prepared for danger in times of peace, the Spirit Clan will not be able to live in peace for many years."
Yunli concluded that if the Spirit Clan never wants to go out, then one day the Spirit Clan will perish in this world.
Today's tribesmen have not liberated their minds and are still willing to be trapped in a cage. However, as there are more and more young people, there will be more and more people who are unwilling to be trapped in a cage.
One day, the people here will leave this land.
But, at that time, will they have the ability to embrace the world?
If everyone could really live comfortably in this place, the Spirit Race would also gradually wither away.
There are fewer and fewer young people in the Eldar race. The total number of Eldar races is still increasing, but the number of young children is very rare.
In the Eldar tribe, only one man and one woman can become husband and wife, and the number of children a couple can have is also very limited.
Perhaps because of the characteristics of the Eldar race, the Eldar race's ability to give birth to offspring is very weak. Generally, a couple can only have one child, or at most two, and rarely more than three.
If things go on like this, the number of marriageable men and women will decrease. As the total number decreases, matching will become more and more difficult.
This is why after Yunli came back, so many people expected to marry her back home.
If you miss this one, you don’t know how many years you will be single.
In fact, Yunli wants to leave the Misty Forest and go to the outside world, and there are actually a lot of people who want to support her.
Yunli was not the only one in such a large spiritual clan who wanted to lead everyone away.
However, these people who want to leave are also unable to resist the previous generation, and the clan members are all related by relatives, so they generally do not use drastic measures.
With step-by-step compromise, everyone gradually got used to it.
If Yunli didn't mention that she had someone she liked outside, she might still get some support, but now everyone thinks that Yunli might want to marry outside, which is a bit hard to accept.
In this situation, Yunli had no other choice but to secretly communicate with Maoqiu.
"Maoqiu, can you find a chance to run? If you can run, I will let go."
Yunli's fighting ability is very impressive, and she has yet to use her unique skill to truly win the battle. However, Yunli does not dare to use it in actual combat because she is worried that the hair ball is in grandma's hands.
What's more, most of the tricks Yang Chen taught her were one-hit moves to defeat the enemy. Even if Yunli felt that her grandma would not be cruel at will, there was no guarantee that her grandma wouldn't hurt Mao Qiu if she dealt a heavy blow to her clan members.
"I can take it easy, but I hope grandma can let go of the fur ball."
After saying that, Yunli put down the Star Sword in his hand.
Seeing this, the old patriarch felt a lot more relieved. She didn't know that Yunli was best at boxing and that the sword was just a show-off. She just thought that Yunli had put down his weapon.
However, to be on the safe side, she still directed a snake to bite Yunli.
"This is a forbidden snake. Forbidden snakes are non-venomous, but anyone bitten by it will not be able to use magical powers or spells within seven days. Just stay at home and don't think anything wrong."
Yunli tried to use the true essence in his Dantian. Fortunately, the true essence could still be used, but he could not cast spells.
And that’s okay too.
Yunli did not resist and allowed her tribe to imprison her.
Her current cultivation level is not enough. She estimates that when she reaches the Golden Core realm and uses the Thunder Fist, those spiritual beasts will not be able to get close to her.
The forbidden snake can restrain her magical powers, but it cannot restrain her boxing skills and physical combat methods.
After Yunli was locked up, Mao Qiu was also locked up together.
Maoqiu wanted to go out to find support, but the guards here were too strict. As soon as Maoqiu climbed out of the window, a big bird fluttered over from the sky.
If he had been any slower, he might even have been eaten.
Isn't it too dangerous here?
Maoqiu was still frightened, and he also saw that the flying giant eagle was the spiritual beast of someone from the Spirit Clan, and he was here to watch Yunli and it.
Now that it's over, it will definitely be difficult to send the spiritual message. Even if it is sent, it will be intercepted and will not be delivered to Yang Chen's hands at all.
And they were locked up in this small room, unable to get out and at the same time not be summoned. Aren't they just sitting there waiting to die?
Unless Yunli can break through immediately, however, breakthrough also takes time.
But obviously, the old patriarch would not give Yunli this time. The reason why he let the forbidden snake bite Yunli before was that the limiting effect was only seven days.
I'm afraid, the old patriarch plans to deal with Yunli within seven days.
Being locked up in a small independent courtyard, Yunli also felt very complicated, but she had no choice but to practice.
Her choice to compromise was only to temporarily settle the matter, and at the same time it also made people underestimate her own fighting power.
So far, she has not shown her true strength in the Spirit Clan, so the other tribesmen do not know Yunli's specific strength.
Even the old patriarch only chose to ban Yunli's spell-casting ability, but he didn't know that Yunli's strongest point was her body.
However, under the circumstances at that time, Yunli couldn't escape even if she broke out. It was better to stay calm for a few days, let the other party lower their vigilance, and wait until they find an opportunity to escape in the future. She would encounter few enemies, so she escaped. The chances will be greater.
When Maoqiu was kidnapped, Yunli was determined to escape from the Spirit Clan, and his short-term patience was just to escape better.
Furball didn't intend to sit still and wait for death. It dug holes like a mouse, but it was found every time, and it was secretly anxious.
If he hadn't been bitten by the forbidden snake, with Furball's ability, he would have escaped by now.
"Elder brother, come and save Yunli!"
In desperation, Maoqiu could only pray to Lian Lizhi, and he didn't know if Yang Chen could hear it.
Lian Lizhi can bind the lifespan of two people and can vaguely sense the location of the other person. However, Lian Lizhi cannot allow people to send information at will.
Finding that he couldn't help, Maoqiu could only sigh silently. Unlike the sighing furball, Yunli was much calmer. She was already confident and ready to take action at any time.
On the first day, nothing happened, and Yunli's true energy began to condense.
The next day, nothing happened, and Yunli's true energy became more solid.
On the third day, the old patriarch finally came to see Yunli and brought a piece of news to Yunli.
"Among the people of the right age in the clan, grandma has chosen the one with the best character and the most talent for you. You will get married in three days!"
"it is good."
Yunli didn't argue and seemed very well-behaved. The old patriarch said nothing more and just left silently.
After she left, Yunli said to Maoqiu: "Now go check the doors and windows and don't let anyone disturb me."
Maoqiu nodded. She knew that Yunli had a plan. She didn't know what Yunli was planning. In short, she just tried her best to help.
This day is the critical moment for Yunli to condense the golden elixir.
However, Yunli did take a bit of a risk.
Condensing the golden elixir is a very important thing. Others often need to find a quiet and safe place to condense the golden elixir to avoid being disturbed by others.
Condensing golden elixirs is a delicate and dangerous job. The monks must constantly use their mental power to compress their true essence. The danger lies in this part of the compression.
Once the mind is turbulent and the fluctuation of mental power causes the compression to change, the compressed true energy may burst out instantly, which is no less than releasing a bomb inside the Dantian.
The dangers involved can be imagined.
It doesn't matter if the golden elixir breakthrough fails. If the compressed true energy explodes, it will range from serious injuries, the Dantian will be destroyed, to death, and even the people around you will be killed.
Yunli started practicing without finding a place where no one would disturb her. It cannot be said that she is not reckless.
However, Yunli had no choice.
If she said that she wanted to practice in seclusion and break through the realm, her grandmother would definitely not agree to it now. Therefore, even if she took the risk, she could only break through secretly on her own.
Maoqiu also knew the danger inside, so he could only guard outside Yunli's door and not allow anyone to enter.
If someone wanted to go in, they would say that Yunli was in a bad mood and didn't want to see anyone.
During this period, the old patriarch came several times, but was dismissed by Maoqiu in this way.
The old patriarch didn't argue with Yunli, and just talked about the approaching wedding date outside the door.
Yun Li was in the room, so it was not that she couldn't hear it, but she concentrated all her energy on compressing her true energy. There was already a small golden elixir prototype in her body.
This is an inevitable process that monks will go through from the foundation building stage to the golden elixir stage. This stage is also called the false elixir state.
There are fake elixirs, and then there will be real elixirs.
After all, there are only a few monks like Yang Chen who can do everything in one step. Others practice in a step-by-step manner in most cases.
Yunli didn't have much experience, so he just got on with it.
After getting the fake elixir, Yunli continued to work hard. She felt that the golden elixir in her body could be suppressed further.
In this case, how many times can you press it?
While Yun Li was practicing hard, the old patriarch also looked at the attic where Yun Li was with a complicated expression. She felt the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and she understood.
"When children grow up, they will have their own ideas after all."
The old clan gave a long sigh, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
On her shoulder, a night owl jumped.
Night owl, also called owl.
This owl is not too young, and its round eyes are full of wisdom.
"Since you are determined to help her, why do you want to embarrass the child like this? If she takes such a risk, if something happens, it will be too late."
The owl spoke human words, obviously very dissatisfied with the old patriarch.
The old patriarch was not angry because Ye Xiao denied his idea. She naturally had the grace and calmness of an older person.
“Since she wants to leave here, she will naturally have to put in enough effort.
Since she has such ambitions, of course I have to be tough on her.
If she can't deal with me, who is not malicious, how can she not fight with others? "
Night Owl was silent for a moment. He didn't expect that such a statement could be made.
However, if you think about it carefully, it does seem to be the case.
Since Yunli has the heart to lead the spirit race to rise to the world, if he can't even deal with them, how can he talk about anything else?
This arranged marriage is a test for Yunli. If Yunli can't even pass this test, it's better not to go out and wander around. It may really bring disaster to the Spiritual Clan.
On the other hand, Yunli can do it, so as the clan leader, it doesn't matter if she turns a blind eye, and other clan members have no reason to criticize her.
In this way, with the tacit approval of the old clan leader, Yunli practiced peacefully for five days. Finally, Yunli's golden elixir solidified.
"It's a pity, it's not the Pure Golden Elixir."
Yunli looked at the finally formed golden elixir and felt a little disappointed for a moment.
Because Yang Chen said that he was the Golden Elixir of the Immortal, she also wanted to be like Yang Chen.
But it's a pity that she didn't persevere in the end and only mastered the Nine Marks Golden Pill.
This is already a very good quality among the golden elixirs, and it is considered the strongest golden elixir under cheating, but Yunli doesn't seem to like it very much.
"Hey, how come I remember what senior brother said to me?"
After breaking through the golden elixir realm, Yunli was surprised to find that he seemed to remember something.
In other words, these things have not been forgotten in her mind, but were sealed inexplicably. Now that she has achieved a breakthrough, the seal has been loosened, and some things have leaked out.
It's just that she can forget the specific things that happened, but she can't forget her special feelings for Yang Chen, so that this kind of forgetfulness not only fails to let her let go of Yang Chen, but also makes her obsession with Yang Chen even deeper.
Before Yunli could carefully organize her memories, the old patriarch came not long after her breakthrough in cultivation.
"Tomorrow is the wedding. Grandma has prepared a wedding dress for you. Put it on."
The timing of the old patriarch's arrival can be said to be just right. She also had a set of clothes in her hand.
The clothes are light green, which has a playful and cute meaning, and is close to the color of green leaves, symbolizing life and nature.
Light green is the color of the wedding dress of the Eldar people.
Also on this day, in Qingzhou, Yang Chen held a wedding in a very low-key manner... (End of this chapter)
Now that Yunli is successful in practicing outside, he is not so easy to catch, and the hair ball has become Yunli's weakness.
