Li Banchi didn't expect that such an ordinary-looking girl could actually cure his injuries caused by his obsession.
After a series of thanks, Li Ban Lai nodded and agreed to stay with Liang Yan.
"The next step is to continue looking for enlightened beasts."
Liang Yan looked at Qingqing and said helplessly: "We have been searching here for a whole day, but we still haven't found any trace of the enlightened beast. Are you sure that this spiritual beast will be attracted to jade?"
After hearing this, Qingqing showed a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"This...I heard it from others, after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Banchi next to her suddenly asked: "Did I hear you correctly? You actually want to capture the enlightened beast?"
"Yeah." Qingqing nodded disapprovingly.
"Oh my god, the Kaiming Beast is a legendary spiritual beast. It is said to be the owner of Yunzhong Mountain. You actually want to capture it?" Li Banbing said in surprise.
"Is there anything wrong?" Qingqing tilted her head and muttered: "I have seen images of enlightened beasts before. They are real spiritual beasts. I want to be friends with them."
"Can……"
Li Banbing wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Liang Yan waving his hand.
"Hush, silence!"
Among the three of them, Li Banchi was most afraid of Liang Yan, so when Liang Yan glanced at him, he immediately suppressed what he said and did not dare to make any more noise.
There was an eerie silence in the woods.
Liang Yan listened carefully for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed, and then his figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.
The remaining three people, Li Banchi, Qingqing, and Gu Xingyun, looked at each other and seemed a little confused.
"Brother Liang, what's wrong with him?"
"Master must have discovered something, let's go over and have a look."
"Um."
Naturally, Qingqing and Li Banli had no objections. The three of them set off at the same time and chased after Liang Yan in the direction he left.
Not long after, the three of them stopped in front of an open space.
Gu Xingyun remembered that this was one of the four traps set by Liang Yan.
At this moment, in the middle of the open space, the jade treasure used as bait has disappeared, and there is only a figure standing there from behind, looking thoughtful.
"Master."
Gu Xingyun took a step forward, looked at the empty ground, and said with surprise: "The Yuanyang Nuanjing and those jade stones are gone! Could it be..."
"Transform the spirit into silk, and the energy can travel in all directions! Haha, this spiritual beast's skills are not bad."
Liang Yan muttered to himself, turned around, looked at the three people who had just arrived, and chuckled: "You guessed it right, it took all the jade away, and it did not trigger my trap restriction.
"
"Enlightened Beast?!"
Qingqing's face showed excitement at first, and then she felt a little disappointed. She lowered her head and said, "Did Kaiming Beast run away? It means it doesn't want to see me. It seems that I am not its "destined person."
"Can't run away."
Liang Yan laughed and said slowly: "Every piece of jade has the spiritual mark I left on it. It is being smart this time. As long as we follow the breath left on the road, we will soon catch this enlightened beast.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his finger and pointed out a magic formula, using the escape light to sweep everyone present. Without flying high, he stayed close to the ground and followed the trace left by the enlightened beast...
Liang Yan's escape speed was not slow, but the enlightened beast seemed to be alert. Halfway through the chase, it suddenly changed direction and ran towards the top of the mountain.
Not only did the direction change, but even the speed increased a lot, which surprised Liang Yan, who was about to approach.
"It seems that this enlightened beast is not simple. At least it has the strength of the human race Zhenjun Tongxuan. No wonder it can avoid the trap I set."
After seeing the opponent's speed, Liang Yan became more convinced that the spiritual beast he was tracking was an enlightened beast.
He also wanted to see what this legendary spiritual beast looked like, so he sped up
He lost speed and chased all the way. Unknowingly, he arrived near the top of the mountain.
"Huh?"
The moment he reached the top of the mountain, Liang Yan suddenly stopped the light escape, with a look of confusion on his face.
"what happened?"
Gu Xingyun, Qingqing and others were very puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
Liang Yan did not answer, but stared at the open space in the distance, making calculations with his hands.
After a moment, he turned his head and said as if muttering to himself: "The breath...disappeared."
"The breath has disappeared? Master is talking about the enlightened beast?"
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded and said solemnly: "I clearly left a spiritual mark on the jade, but after reaching the top of the mountain, the spiritual mark I left suddenly disappeared, and the aura of the enlightened beast disappeared here.
It’s like...it seems like it disappeared out of thin air.”
"How could this happen?" Gu Xingyun and Qingqing were both puzzled.
Li Banqi said: "Normally, the Enlightenment Beast is the sacred beast of Yunzhong Mountain. It has been protecting our monks of the Baisheng tribe for so many years. Whoever it wants to see can see it, and whoever it doesn't want to see can be used at any price."
Nothing works!"
"It seems that you people from the Baisheng tribe respect enlightened beasts very much?" Liang Yan glanced at Li Ban Lai and said calmly.
"Of course! The enlightened beast is our belief, just like the tribal totem. Although I am very grateful to you for saving my life, I still want to advise you not to waste time and go down the mountain as early as possible."
After listening to Li Banchi's words, Qingqing's face became even more disappointed.
Liang Yan frowned and was about to step forward to say a few words of comfort when he suddenly heard the sound of gold and iron clashing from the distant valley.
"Huh?"
Driven by curiosity, Liang Yan walked to the edge of the top of the mountain and looked down.
I saw that the valley of Yunzhong Mountain was densely packed with monks.
The cultivation realms of these people are all different. Some are only in the qi training stage, while some have reached the golden elixir realm. The leader is actually a Tongxuan Zhenjun.
This man stood on a high altar, holding seven flags in his hand, waving them in the high air, and mumbling something.
With him as the center, there are five slightly lower altars, which look like stars over the moon, surrounding this person in the middle.
On each stage, there is a monk who is in the golden elixir realm. Some of them are holding lamps, some are holding tokens, some are holding staffs, some are holding pagodas, and finally there is one person who is actually holding a
A brush, writing and drawing in mid-air.
On the ground behind, there were more than three thousand futons. On each futon was a monk wearing a white robe, kneeling on his knees, with a look of piety on his face.
In the direction they were facing, there was a huge earth pit. The pit was covered with talismans and seals, and it looked like an altar.
"Gathering of Earth Spirits?"
Seeing this scene, Gu Xingyun reacted instantly.
No wonder the Baisheng tribe wants to seal Yunzhong Mountain. It turns out that the place where they meditated on the totem is in the valley behind Yunzhong Mountain. And looking down from here, you can see everything at a glance, and there is no secret at all.
"So this is the Earth Spirit Conference."
Liang Yan showed a thoughtful expression, and then pinched a spell in his hand to hide everyone's aura.
Looking at the valley below, the monk in the Tongxuan realm was obviously the patriarch of the Baisheng clan. After a series of spells, he suddenly cast a spell and planted all the seven flags in his hand in the middle of the altar.
Seeing this, the remaining five Golden Core Realm monks immediately shouted loudly: "Fellow tribesmen, the totem of our tribe is about to appear in this world, please contribute your part."
"yes!"
More than 3,000 people responded loudly, and almost at the same time they chanted, releasing part of their spiritual power, and finally merged it into the altar in front of them.
Rumble!
With the injection of everyone's spiritual power, violent vibrations occurred in the altar, as if an undercurrent was surging deep in the earth and could erupt at any time.
Not long after, the ground in the middle of the altar began to rotate rapidly, like a mud vortex, and a deep black hole was revealed in the middle.
"That is……"
On the edge of the mountaintop and cliff, Liang Yan looked serious.
He looked down at the black hole that appeared in the altar below, secretly concentrating more than 80% of the power of his divine consciousness, trying to sneak into it to see what was hidden under the ground.
But when his consciousness approached the entrance of the cave, it was immediately swallowed up by a powerful force.
This invisible and terrifying force even followed the source of spiritual consciousness all the way up, and almost found where Liang Yan was hiding. If it weren't for the cover of Tianjizhu and Liang Yan's caution, I'm afraid he would have been exposed now!
Liang Yan was taken aback. He could clearly feel that there was a powerful existence deep in the ground, which he could not resist with his own strength.
You can't even take a peek.
"What the hell is that?"
Liang Yan was filled with shock and doubt, and hurriedly withdrew his consciousness, but he was full of curiosity about the mysterious existence underground.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the rules of Langhuan Continent that did not allow earth escape.
Could it be because of this mysterious existence?
Shennong Mountain controls all of this, so it must know what is hidden in the ground beneath its feet. There is also the mysterious girl Qingqing next to her. Since she can get out from here, it must not be easy...
Liang Yan's thoughts were swirling in his mind, but the Earth Spirit Conference below was about to reach its climax.
There was a strange noise from the deep black hole, as if someone was whispering below. Not long after, a stone pillar emerged from the black hole.
Seeing this stone pillar, the faces of the Baisheng clan monks showed expressions of piety and excitement, even the clan leader who had reached the Tongxuan realm was no exception.
The white-haired old patriarch, regardless of his identity, knelt down on the altar and bowed to the rising totem...
Under his leadership, all the Baisheng clan members knelt down on the ground, some kowtowed, and some kissed the ground.
"Thank you, Mother Earth, for giving my clan magical powers and techniques!"
"Thank you, Mother Earth, for giving my clan magical powers and techniques!"
In the valley, there was a uniform voice, and it was not difficult to hear that these Baisheng monks were sincerely grateful and full of awe for the so-called "Mother of the Earth".
About ten breaths ago, the totem had completely emerged from the depths of the ground. It was about a hundred feet high, and it was covered with dense patterns and various weird runes.
"Is this the tribal totem?"
Liang Yan looked down and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had broken into the scripture collection room of the cultivation sect and was secretly reading other people's scriptures...
I have long heard of the name of tribal totems. The various magical powers and techniques of the Langhuan tribes are all learned from such totems.
Liang Yan had a strong interest in his heart, lowered his head and looked at it intently, trying to understand one or two spells from the runes on the totem.
However, time passed little by little. I don’t know how long it took. Liang Yan suddenly came back to his senses, but there was a trace of confusion on his face. "Strange!"
Just now, he was concentrating on understanding and found that the runes and pictures on the totem were very mysterious. But when he carefully observed the deduction, these runes became chaotic and flashed in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern.
When I came back to my senses, I actually didn’t remember any of them.
Liang Yan couldn't figure out why, so he calmed down on the top of the mountain and looked at the totem in the valley again.
This time, he didn't observe too much, he just stared at one of the runes, trying to figure out some mystery.
But things went against expectations. The runes on the totem seemed to have rejected Liang Yan. No matter how he watched and deduced, he still didn't understand it at all.
At this moment, Liang Yan felt a little dazed.
He has always been very confident in his own understanding, but now so many people can understand magical powers and techniques from totems, but he can't? "That's not right!"
Liang Yan suddenly woke up and turned to look at the three people beside him.
Qingqing had no interest in totems and was lying on the edge of the cliff, watching the Earth Spirit Conference below like a curious child.
However, Li Banbing and Gu Xingyun were both attentive, staring at the totem below, looking a little intoxicated, as if they had understood something.
"They can do it, but I can't... If you want to understand the totem, do you have to be a local monk in Langhuan Continent?"
This is the only explanation Liang Yan can think of, and it is also the biggest difference between him and the two.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan turned his attention to the valley below.
At this moment, more than three monks from the Baisheng clan have begun to understand the runes on the totem.
Some of them were meditating hard and seemed to be still in the process of understanding; some were smiling happily and seemed to have realized some magical power.
Liang Yan practiced "Eight Parts of Yanyuan" and his five senses and six senses were extremely sharp. He just glanced below and keenly caught something wrong.
The next moment, he concentrated his spiritual power on his eyes and looked down attentively.
I saw more than 3,000 people below, whether they had realized supernatural powers or were meditating hard, there was a vague haze coming out of their bodies.
These hazes were very strange. Instead of floating upward into the air, they slowly sank and finally disappeared into the soil. "This is..." Liang Yan's pupils shrank slightly.
The haze was vague and ethereal, not like spiritual power or essence, but it was indeed emitted from the bodies of the monks of the Baisheng tribe after they understood the totem.
Now, all these hazes are fed back to the earth beneath our feet.
In other words, the Earth Spirit Conference is not as simple as it seems...
