The other party was exploring him without any cover, and Li Yan was certainly not polite. He also used his spiritual consciousness to scan their current cultivation levels.
Soon he had a rough judgment. If he used all his strength now and secretly used methods unknown to the other party, he should be sure to escape from this place.
The premise is that Tian Xingzi doesn't want to lose everything and doesn't fully activate the sect-protecting formation.
Li Yan looked at the mess around him, clasped his fists again and said.
"I originally only planned to come here to refine the magic weapon of my life, but unexpectedly I accidentally triggered a catastrophe. This is really unexpected.
Although it was not intentional to create the current situation for the sect, this is the inner valley of the Fallen Star Valley after all.
Therefore, if it is within my power, I can certainly compensate for these losses."
Although Li Yan knew that the other party's thoughts just now were impure, things that add insult to injury are common in the world of immortality cultivation.
As long as the other party doesn't really take action against him, then of course he still wants to understand the matter quickly with the idea of doing more rather than doing less.
After all, he lurked into a sect with impure motives. After solving the matter here as soon as possible, he would leave quickly. He still needs to stabilize his realm now.
However, he would not be stupid enough to let others take advantage of him. He also left room for words. If the other party opened his mouth like a lion, he would have to desperately try to escape.
"Oh, is Fellow Daoist Zhang planning to leave?"
After hearing this, Tian Xingzi suddenly smiled lightly.
"What? Do the two fellow Taoists still want to keep Zhang?"
Li Yan frowned when he heard this. The other party was unwilling to let it go.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhang has misunderstood. Fellow Daoist Zhang has been in my sect for more than 20 years. Although there was a misunderstanding before, I believe that Fellow Daoist Zhang has not forgotten his original promise.
At least now you are still the guest elder of my "Luo Xing Valley". Is it possible that Zhang Daoyou will break his promise as soon as he successfully condenses the golden elixir?
Or is it that what Daoyou Zhang said before was not entirely true and was just used as a delaying tactic?"
Li Yan, who had already begun to gather strength, was stunned after hearing this.
"Twenty years? Didn't I just enter the sect for more than two years? This retreat has taken twenty years?"
His frightened expression fell into Tian Xingzi's eyes, and he and Xingbo looked at each other.
Xingbo had already understood what his uncle meant. Since he didn't want to make enemies, it was better to draw them together, which would really give "Luo Xing Valley" an unexpected boost. This time, it was Xingbo who explained.
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Zhang didn't know how long he had been in seclusion. Now it's been twenty years since you successfully refined your natal magic weapon."
At the same time, a thought also arose in Xingbo's mind.
"Could it be that after his soul left the body twenty years ago, he completely entered trance? The formation of pills this time was the opportunity brought about by his soul leaving the body!"
Xingbo suddenly remembered the time when he saw Zhang Mingyuan
He had briefly discussed this with Tian Xingzi before about the out-of-body experience.
However, neither of them expected that Zhang Ming would completely ignore time in his meditation. Although they would slowly lose the concept of time every time they retreated, they probably still had a concept.
The other party seemed completely unaware. He must have entered some indescribable state of cultivation. As expected, Li Yan was stunned and then murmured.
"It's been twenty years, I...I thought it would be a year and a half at most!"
Then Zhao Min suddenly came to mind.
"Decades of time have passed by, and I don't know how my senior sister is doing now..."
Li Yan was in a daze for a moment and then woke up.
“You mean to make me the elder of ‘Falling Star Valley’?”
"Of course it is, what do you think of Fellow Daoist Zhang?"
Tian Xingzi is smiling.
He and Lin Xinghe are both seriously injured and have not recovered. Although the battle shocked some surrounding forces, with the power of Xingbo alone, once he finds out his true identity, he will sooner or later arouse the covetousness of others.
If a golden elixir can be dragged into the "Falling Star Valley", it will definitely reduce the number of bad thoughts that have begun to breed, which will give him and Lin Xinghe a period of precious time.
For a moment, Li Yan was silent. He actually still wanted to leave "Falling Star Valley". After stabilizing his realm, he still had many things to deal with and could not stay here for a long time.
"What? What worries does Fellow Daoist Zhang have? As long as you agree to become the elder of the sect, all your cultivation resources, spiritual stones, elixirs, raw materials, etc. will come from the sect.
Of course, except for some particularly precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which require you to spend your own spiritual stones, the rest are all enshrined by the sect.
After all, we are only a second-rate sect, and we may not be able to purchase some rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures even with the entire sect’s efforts, but we can help fellow Taoists find out any information about the cultivation resources you need.”
Tian Xingzi immediately made a condition, which was quite generous. All the training resources that Li Yan would use in the future could be obtained free of charge.
Li Yan listened silently. When he heard the second half of Tian Xingzi's words, his heart moved, but his face showed no emotion.
He seemed to think about it for a while before speaking slowly.
"I have said before that I have a master who is away from home. In the future, he may not be able to stay in the sect for a long time because of this matter."
After Tian Xingzi heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger.
"If it's for this matter, there is no defense. When the time comes, Fellow Daoist Zhang will do what he wants, and we can even find out about Master Ling for you.
If we need to take action, as long as the opponent is not a major monk from a first-class sect or above, it is not impossible. After all, that
By then we were a family.”
Xing Bo also agreed at the same time.
"As an elder of the sect, there is no need to stay in the sect all the time. Retreating and traveling outside are common things. As long as there are no major events in the sect, the elders will not be alarmed."
He also had speculations and answers about his master's attitude.
"Zhang Ming was a foundation-building monk before. If I can find his master again, then there will be two golden elixirs to help me in "Luo Xing Valley".
At that time, regardless of whether his master agrees to become the elder of the sect, as long as Zhang Ming is here, if something really happens, will he still be able to take action?"
This deal was reasonable for Xingjiu no matter what. Tian Xingzi immediately saw through this when Zhang Ming raised the matter of his master, and even promised to help him.
But he doesn't take over everything. If the other party is too strong, they will definitely choose to watch on the sidelines. However, the more this happens, the more sincere they appear. The monks are good at protecting themselves wisely.
Li Yan's face looked uncertain for a moment, but he still didn't agree immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, could it be that after you have been promoted, you want to join a first-class sect? If this is the case, you are thinking wrong.
Although the Golden elixir monks are powerful, the first-class sects still have a wait-and-see attitude towards the early Golden elixir monks.
Some cultivation resources may not be more than what we provide, nor will both parties know the basics like we do!"
Tian Xingzi took advantage of the situation and said, Li Yan only hesitated for a moment and spoke immediately.
"Then that's it. If I need to go out for a long time to look for Master in the future, then it can only be regarded as a false name."
"Hehehe, Elder Zhang does not need to stress on this matter, everything is based on Elder Zhang's wishes.
I still say the same thing, if you need to use sect resources at that time, you only need to talk to Xing He, and he will arrange everything first!"
Tian Xingzi's young face already had a bright smile, and the words "Zhang Daoyouyou" had been replaced by "Elder Zhang". Xingji also put on a kind smile, and he said immediately.
"Master, just continue to retreat, I will take care of the rest.
Elder Zhang still needs to stabilize his realm, but now he can distribute name stickers and make appointments with fellow Taoists. I think we will hold a grand ceremony for Elder Zhang in March..."
But before he finished speaking, Li Yan waved his hand gently.
"Two Taoist friends, there is no need for this matter. Zhang doesn't like to socialize with others. I think it's enough to just announce it to the outside world. I will participate in the sect's rituals of worshiping heaven and earth. But it's better to keep everything simple."
"this……"
Xingbo and Tianxingzi immediately looked at each other. They had asked for information about Zhang Ming before and knew that he lived in a simple place and almost never had contact with outsiders, but that was to cover others' ears.
But now the two sides are facing each other
The acquaintance has reached this point, but the other party still does not want to have more interactions with others.
"This man is a true ascetic."
Both of them had such thoughts in their hearts, but how could they be willing to hold such a big event hastily.
They want to take this opportunity to publicize this matter, so that they can be more conducive to the momentum building of "Luo Xing Valley".
So after the two of them kept persuading, Li Yan finally had to take a step back. He also understood that his joining "Luo Xing Valley" must be publicized in a big way.
But he had to promise that except for showing his face during the ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth, he would not show up later, and all other matters should be controlled by Xingbo.
Xing Jian tried to persuade him a few more times, but when he saw that Zhang Ming just smiled and said nothing, he had no choice but to give up.
At that moment, Tian Xingzi said goodbye to Li Yan and left. Now that things were done, he could rest in seclusion and recuperate with peace of mind.
However, Xingbo personally led Li Yan to fly deeper into the "Luo Xing Valley".
"Junior Brother Zhang, although there are many courtyards in the area where the core disciples are, and the spiritual energy is pretty good, naturally you cannot live here with your current status.
The distance between the courtyards here is only a hundred miles, and it is inconvenient for you to go in and out on weekdays, so you need to find another place with a more suitable environment..."
Xing Ye said with a smile while leading Li Yan forward.
It's just that at this time, he didn't even call him "Elder Zhang", but called him "Junior Brother Zhang" one after another, which made him even more intimate, as if the previous incident of plundering the "Jiu Jing Qi" had never happened.
Li Yan also smiled and whispered back to him all the way. They flew more than a thousand miles.
Most of the people were talking along the way, but intentionally or unintentionally, they were trying to find out more about Li Yan.
With Li Yan's scheming attitude, although he did not live up to the level of an old demon like Xing Ye, it would be extremely difficult to get the word out of him.
Seeing that Li Yan was a very reserved person and did not reveal any of his details, Xing Jie finally stopped and stopped entangled in this matter, lest the other party would feel disgusted.
He began to tell Li Yan about some of the recent major events in the world of immortality. For Li Yan, who had been in seclusion for twenty years, he was very happy to listen, and asked about some things in a low voice from time to time.
In response to Li Yan's inquiries, Xing Ye answered all questions, and for a while, the two of them seemed to be very harmonious.
When the star borer fell, Li Yan found that they were standing at the entrance of a valley.
"This is an inner valley in the inner valley, called 'Starry Cave'. No one has lived in it for more than a hundred years, but deacon disciples often come to clean it, and everything in it is complete..."
After sending away the star borer, Li Yan opened the forbidden formation outside the valley and walked inward along a stone path lined with maples on both sides.
It is summer at this time, and along the way, the green maple leaves are swaying gently in the wind, and walking on the forest path has a unique charm.
