Chapter 250: Taking down Hua Jieyu

However, after the experience of alchemy, Ye Changsheng has developed the habit of not giving up easily.

He patiently analyzed the reasons for each failure and constantly adjusted his methods.

Gradually, Ye Changsheng's refining skills began to improve. He successfully refined some simple magic tools, although the quality was not high, but they were already usable.

This gave Ye Changsheng great encouragement, and he worked harder to study the way of refining.

After three months of hard study and repeated practice, Ye Changsheng finally mastered the skills of refining a first-grade flying sword.

When the first successfully refined flying sword was suspended in front of him, Ye Changsheng felt extremely proud and gratified.

Although this flying sword was only a first-grade, it represented another important step for Ye Changsheng on the road to immortal cultivation.

Since Ye Changsheng fled from Hua Jieyu's cave last time, Hua Jieyu began to send him communication paper talismans frequently.

At first, there was a hint of apology and explanation in her tone, but as time went on, her words gradually became earnest and proactive.

However, Ye Changsheng did not respond to Hua Jieyu's message this time.

He recalled the last experience and realized that he was too passive in his interaction with Hua Jieyu.

This time, he decided to retreat and let Hua Jieyu take the initiative to pursue him.

Half a year passed quietly.

During this time, Ye Changsheng devoted himself to learning the way of refining.

He studied day and night and tried constantly. Finally, on a moonlit night, he successfully refined a complete first-grade medium-grade flying sword.

Looking at the flying sword suspended in the air, Ye Changsheng felt extremely gratified, which marked another big step in his road to cultivation.

At the same time, Hua Jieyu's communication paper talismans were still being delivered continuously.

Her tone changed from the initial trial, to the later anxiety, and now almost begging.

Ye Changsheng could feel the sincerity and urgency in her words, and his heart was moved.

Finally, on a sunny afternoon, Ye Changsheng felt that the time was ripe and decided to accept Hua Jieyu's invitation and go to her cave again.

When Ye Changsheng stepped into Hua Jieyu's cave again, he was a little surprised by the scene in front of him.

The pink world full of ambiguous atmosphere was gone, replaced by a simple and fresh environment.

The elegant orchid fragrance replaced the previous sweet fragrance, and the light white gauze curtains fluttered in the wind, creating a quiet and warm atmosphere.

Before Ye Changsheng looked around carefully, a petite figure threw himself into his arms.

Hua Jieyu hugged Ye Changsheng and burst into tears. She raised her head, looked at Ye Changsheng with tears in her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Changsheng, I'm sorry, I'm really not that kind of woman. The behavior last time was taught by our senior sisters in Xuanyin Sect, saying that it can attract the attention of men. I... I'm actually still a big girl..."

Ye Changsheng gently patted Hua Jieyu's back, pretending to be indifferent and said: "It's okay, Jieyu. I have been busy learning the art of refining weapons during this period, so I haven't been able to reply to your message in time."

Hearing this, Hua Jieyu calmed down a little.

She let go of Ye Changsheng, wiped her tears, and began to tell her situation: "Changsheng, you may not know that I came to Jinguang Fortress without anyone to rely on. In Xuanyin Sect, I have always been bullied. The only master who loved me died in a battle to defend Jinguang Fortress, and then I was sent here to serve. Every time I go to the battlefield, I feel that I am hovering on the edge of life and death..."

After hearing this, Ye Changsheng couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. He immediately said: "Jieyu, don't worry. I can use my merits to exchange for the privilege of not having to go to the battlefield."

After saying that, Ye Changsheng turned around and left the cave without waiting for Hua Jieyu's response, and went straight to the command center.

After more than a year, when Ye Changsheng checked his merits, he was shocked. His merits had unknowingly increased to an astonishing level.

Ye Changsheng did not hesitate to use his merits to exchange for Hua Jieyu's privilege of not having to go to the battlefield for five years, and got the corresponding certificate.

Holding the certificate, Ye Changsheng was full of a sense of accomplishment and joy, and couldn't wait to go back and tell Hua Jieyu the good news.

After returning to the cave, Ye Changsheng handed the certificate to Hua Jieyu.

When Hua Jieyu saw the content on the certificate, tears welled up in her eyes again, but this time she was crying with joy.

She hugged Ye Changsheng tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Changsheng, thank you, thank you so much. Do you know what this means to me..."

Ye Changsheng stroked Hua Jieyu's hair and said softly: "I know, Jieyu. You don't have to worry about your life anymore, you can practice and improve your strength with peace of mind."

Hua Jieyu looked up at Ye Changsheng, her eyes full of gratitude and love. She said softly: "Changsheng, you are so good to me. I... I want to repay you."

As she spoke, Hua Jieyu slowly stood up, walked to the bed, and gently pulled the gauze curtain...

A few hours later, Ye Changsheng got up from the bed and looked at Hua Jieyu who was still sleeping, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He put on his clothes lightly, took out twenty-four Linggong fruits from the storage bag, and carefully placed them on the bedside table.

Ye Changsheng wrote on a piece of paper: "Jieyu, these are twenty-four Linggong fruits. I hope they can help you practice. Practice in the cave with peace of mind and don't worry about the outside world. I will come to see you often."

He pressed the note under the Linggong fruit, and finally looked at Hua Jieyu who was sleeping affectionately, then gently closed the door and left.

Returning to his cave, Ye Changsheng did not slack off at all, and immediately devoted himself to the practice of refining equipment.

He knew that only by constantly improving his strength could he gain a foothold in this dangerous world of cultivation.

Day after day, month after month, Ye Changsheng devoted himself to the way of refining equipment.

He forgot to eat and sleep, and almost never left the house, focusing only on improving his refining skills.

Finally, one late night eight months later, Ye Changsheng's efforts paid off. With a crisp sword sound, a flying sword emitting a faint blue light floated in front of him.

Ye Changsheng excitedly grabbed the flying sword, and after a careful inspection, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Success! This is a first-grade superior flying sword!"

Ye Changsheng said to himself excitedly. This flying sword is not only of high quality, but also contains more spiritual power than previous works.

But Ye Changsheng was not satisfied with this. He knew that to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation, a first-level magic weapon was far from enough.

So, he began to study higher-level refining techniques.

Ye Changsheng flipped through the refining books he bought from the Heavenly Palace, carefully studying every detail. He kept trying, kept failing, and kept summarizing his experience.
