Liang Yan returned to his cave and saw a skinny, long-haired man with a sinister aura sitting at the table.
"Come back?" Liang Yan glanced at him and said calmly: "Did you gain anything from this trip?"
"Xuanji Island is far more complicated than I thought." Ni Jiayue said in a deep voice.
"oh?"
Liang Yan smiled slightly, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of spiritual tea for each of them, then sat down and took a sip of tea.
"Tell me, what is it about this island that makes it difficult for you to live there?"
"Ancient prohibition!"
Ni Jiayue narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled: "I searched for several days, but could not find the location of the Sutra Pavilion, because there is an area on the island covered by ancient restrictions that cannot be broken by ordinary means. Moreover, this restriction
It’s very strange, it seems to imply that there are two formations of Confucianism and Confucianism, I have never seen them before!”
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes showed a trace of surprise: "There is actually a prohibition in this world that combines Taoism and Confucianism?"
Ni Jiayue nodded slowly: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it..."
After finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment and then said: "In addition to this ancient restriction, there are two masters on the island, both of whom are not weak. One of them should be the island owner, and his strength is probably as good as mine!"
"Is it that strong?"
Liang Yan was really surprised.
You must know that Ni Jiayue was once in the realm of a saint. After reshaping his body, although he did not return to his previous cultivation, his methods should be invincible to a saint.
Even a top-level sub-sage like Danyang Sheng, Ning Bugui, is still slightly inferior to him.
"I'm not talking nonsense. If you see this person, you will definitely come to the same conclusion as me." Ni Jiayue said with a serious face.
"Well..." Liang Yan nodded slightly.
He still trusted Ni Jiayue's judgment. After all, he was a saint in the past, and his vision should far exceed his own.
"It seems that Dongyun Lingzhou is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger..." Liang Yan murmured to himself.
The two were silent for a moment, and Ni Jiayue added: "Actually, it is not impossible to break the ancient prohibition, but it will take more time. I almost succeeded once, but unfortunately the island owner suddenly arrived and seemed to have something to do.
induction……"
After saying that, he drank the cup of spiritual tea in one gulp.
Liang Yan's face condensed slightly and he asked, "Didn't he notice you at that time?"
"No."
Ni Jiayue shook his head: "I am always cautious in doing things. I left a mark outside the formation in advance. When the island owner arrived, I immediately teleported away using my secret technique without leaving any traces."
"That's good." Liang Yan had a look of satisfaction on his face.
This is also what he admires about Ni Jiayue. When it comes to the word "cautious", this person is as good as himself.
After pondering for a moment, Liang Yan asked again: "Have you carefully inspected the other places on Xuanji Island?"
"I checked and found no place where they hide the books." Ni Jiayue replied with certainty.
"In that case...it's very possible that the Sutra Pavilion is within that restricted area?"
"Nine times out of ten! How important is the Sutra Pavilion? It must be in the most heavily defended place."
"Um……"
Liang Yan knocked on the table and thought secretly in his heart.
After a while, he slowly said: "I'm afraid this Mysterious Island has a great origin, and I don't know if there are saints behind it. We can't act too openly. It's best to handle things in secret."
Ni Jiayue showed a troubled look: "But... it is difficult for us to sneak into the barrier without being discovered by the island owner."
Liang Yan nodded: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. After all, we are not familiar with the place where we live. We must have enough information before making a decision..."
Having said this, he paused and then said with a smile: "By the way, I bought a pill from this exchange meeting, which can help you solve your current predicament."
"oh?"
Ni Jiayue's heart moved and he asked: "What kind of elixir?"
Liang Yan smiled slightly and took out a purple elixir from the storage ring.
"Well, this is called the 'Qiankun Body Shaping Pill'. It can not only help monks reshape their physical bodies, but also make the soul and the physical body more consistent."
After hearing this, Ni Jia's expression did not change much, but he was actually a little surprised.
His soul has been separated from the physical body for hundreds of thousands of years. Even if Liang Yan spent a lot of money to help him reshape his physical body, it would be difficult to achieve a perfect fit with the soul.
The conflict between the physical body and the soul occurs every six months, and each time lasts for several months!
In the past hundred years, unbearable pain has been tormenting Ni Jiayue, making the devil's mind gradually go crazy...
If Liang Yan hadn't suppressed his aura, he would have lost his mind long ago and turned into a walking zombie who only knows killing!
Of course, Ni Jiayue himself did not want to fall, so he kept fighting.
He didn't know until today that there was a pill in Dongyun Lingzhou that could solve his problem!
"Dongyun Lingzhou is indeed a vast land and rich in resources! In comparison, the history of the cultivation world in Antarctic Immortal Continent is too short, and its profound foundation is probably far inferior to that of Dongyun Lingzhou." Ni Jiayue said with emotion.
"Maybe."
Liang Yan gave the elixir to Ni Jiayue without commenting.
"Thank you!"
Ni Jiayue took the elixir and thanked him sincerely.
The next moment, he swallowed the elixir into his belly and concentrated on it for a long time.
"Sure enough, it has an effect...but it is not immediate. It requires continuous refining with mana." Ni Jiayue said thoughtfully.
"It doesn't matter, just tell me all the information you have collected in the past few days. You don't need to take action next." Liang Yan said calmly.
After Ni Jiayue heard this, he immediately told Liang Yan all the information he had.
After finishing speaking, he asked: "...what are you going to do next?"
"The situation is unclear now. It just so happened that I met a Taoist monk today. This person is not weak in cultivation and has a low status. Maybe I can get some information from him."
"That's fine." Ni Jiayue nodded.
"Come back, I will call you when needed."
"good."
Ni Jiayue didn't say much. He turned around and turned into a black shadow again, gradually blending into Liang Yan's shadow...
…
Time flew by and it was three days later.
Outside a certain cave on Xuanji Island, a ray of light flew from far to near, piercing the sky.
After a moment, the escaping light fell on the door, revealing a handsome man wearing a black robe.
As if sensing his arrival, the cave door opened automatically.
Immediately afterwards, a young man wearing a white Taoist uniform and long hair tied high strode out of the cave.
"Hahaha!"
The man in Taoist robes smiled broadly and looked very happy: "I have been living here leisurely for the past few days, looking forward to your Taoist friends day and night. Today I finally see you Taoist friends, and I am very happy!"
Seeing how enthusiastic this man was, Liang Yan also smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist Biyou is a master of the Taoist sect. It is really a blessing for Liu to be able to taste wine and discuss Taoism with fellow Taoist Taoist. How could he break the appointment?"
The two greeted each other politely, Shen Biyou took Liang Yan's hand, and they entered side by side.
Although this cave is large, the furnishings are simple. There are only two futons and a stone table. Bagua pictures are hung on the walls. There is an incense burner underneath, with green smoke floating in the air...
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."
Shen Biyou brought Liang Yan to the stone table, and they each sat on a futon.
He waved his sleeves again, and two light wine glasses and a pot of spiritual wine appeared on the table.
"This wine is called 'Biluo Ningxiang'. I spent a lot of money to get such a small jar. It is truly the pleasure of my life to drink it with you today!"
Liang Yan came closer to smell it and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good wine! Since fellow Taoist sincerely invites you, I would be disrespectful to refuse."
After saying that, he pointed with his hand, and the jade pot flew up, filling both wine glasses with fine wine.
"please!"
"please!"
The two of them drank a glass at the same time, and Liang Yan felt a lingering fragrance sinking into his stomach, followed by a sense of warmth, which made his limbs and bones feel warm and comfortable!
"It's rare. Liu has not drunk such a fine wine for many years." Liang Yan praised sincerely.
"This is nothing..."
Shen Biyou filled the two glasses again and said with a smile: "Shen is a good wine. We have exchanged several secret brewing recipes over the years. Although 'Biluo Ningxiang' tastes good, it can only be ranked third in my place."
After the alchemy conference, I took fellow Taoists to explore the joy of wine."
"So we're drinking buddies?"
"Haha, exactly! Exactly!"
Liang Yan and Shen Biyou smiled at each other and clinked glasses again.
After three rounds of drinking, the two gradually became familiar with each other and began to talk about anything.
They started chatting about some interesting anecdotes about Dongyun Lingzhou, and then talked about various insights on cultivation...
Shen Biyou is a disciple of the Taoist League, and what he has learned and heard are all excellent techniques that have been passed down for a long time. It can be said that every sentence is a pearl, which coincides with the Tao.
But what surprised him was that although Liu Xundao was a casual cultivator and had mixed knowledge, his understanding of the great path was different, and he was actually on par with himself!
Especially some seemingly ordinary insights and a few sentences contain hidden mysteries, which can only be discovered after careful consideration.
In the end, Shen Biyou actually started to love talents and couldn't help but ask: "I'm sorry to say anything, but I see that my fellow Taoist is a good talker. I wonder which teacher he is under?"
Liang Yan laughed at himself and said: "Liu is just a casual cultivator. All he has learned and understood is pieced together here and there. He has no chance to learn from his master."
After hearing this, Shen Biyou looked thoughtful, and after a moment he said: "When I look at my Taoist friend's breathing, it seems that he has a Taoist secret skill? I don't know where he learned it from?"
As soon as these words came out, although Liang Yan's expression did not change, his heart "thumped".
The "Dao Sect Mysterious Gong" mentioned by the other party is of course one of the basic methods he practices: "Tao Sword Classic"!
Liang Yan's knowledge was mixed. Normally, spiritual power did not operate according to a specific method. Especially after achieving the Chaos Sword Heart, the magic power in his body became even more chaotic and difficult to distinguish.
Unexpectedly, Shen Biyou could actually capture traces of the "Tao Sword Sutra" through his breathing...
Liang Yan felt a trace of vigilance in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He asked with a smile: "It's strange, how did fellow Taoist see it?"
Shen Biyou smiled slightly: "I'll tell you the truth, I have a special physique, a natural accommodator, and very sensitive to the Taoist aura. Brother Liu has practiced Taoist techniques, and I can tell at a glance."
Liang Yan was a little surprised after hearing this: "This is a secret matter. Fellow Taoist shouldn't tell me so easily, right?"
Shen Biyou smiled and said: "My fellow Taoist and I hit it off immediately. Since my fellow Taoist asked me, how could I hide it?"
"this……"
Liang Yan was speechless for a moment.
He didn't know whether to believe it or to doubt it. The person in front of him gave him a very unique feeling, different from most of the monks he had met before.
But he couldn't tell what the specific difference was...
After a while, Liang Yan said with a smile: "Brother Shen is a frank man, I am ashamed of myself. Come, I will drink this glass of wine to Brother Shen."
"Excellent."
The two raised their glasses at the same time and drank together again.
After some conversation, the relationship between the two gradually became closer. Liang Yan felt that the time had come and gradually turned to the topic.
"Since Brother Shen is so honest, I might as well tell him frankly... I have been practicing in the mountains before, and then I accidentally entered a secret realm, where I got a great opportunity, and my cultivation improved by leaps and bounds..."
When Liang Yan said this, he paused slightly and said with a smile: "Although Liu has entered the transformation tribulation, he has not traveled to many places before, so he does not understand many things in Dongyun Lingzhou. Brother Taoist is a senior member of the Taoist League. Okay, can you help me clarify my doubts?"
"Of course." Shen Biyou agreed happily.
"This is my first time coming to Xuanji Island. I heard that the owner of the island is Baixiao layman. Have you ever seen this person before?"
"I've seen it many times."
Shen Biyou smiled and said: "This Baixiao layman is a strange person. He doesn't know what chance he has, but he can cultivate the power of two laws at the same time, namely the Puppet Law and the Yuan Magnetic Law. Moreover, his magic power is deep, even if Even if Shen is in front of him, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand a hundred moves..."
"Two kinds of rules for fellow practitioners?" Liang Yan's face slightly condensed.
This is indeed somewhat rare...
Back then in Antarctica, there were only two people in the entire continent who could do it, namely Li Yuxian, who possessed the Dao Foundation of Ten Thousand Tribulations, and Qingyun Demon Lord, who possessed the Taotie Demonic Body.
Later, the Taotie demon body was transferred to Liang Yan, and this solved the problem of integrating the laws of swordsmanship.
Unexpectedly, the owner of Xuanji Island can actually cultivate the power of two laws at the same time!
"No wonder even Ni Jiayue is afraid of him. It seems that this person is weird..." Liang Yan thought secretly in his heart.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Biyou added: "Principal Baixiao is not only very powerful, but also proficient in all kinds of difficult problems. He is famous in Dongyun Lingzhou. There are many monks who have practiced special skills. Whenever there is a problem, I will go to the island for help, and as long as I can pay the appropriate compensation, I will almost always return home satisfied."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes flashed, and then he said with a smile: "It seems that the owner of Xuanji Island is worthy of the word 'Baixiao'. He is indeed knowledgeable! In fact, I also encountered a problem, so I can take this opportunity. Ask the island owner for a question."
"It's possible, it's possible...but this Baixiao layman is not that easy to see. If you want to find him to answer your questions, I'm afraid you have to wait until the Pindan Conference is over." Shen Biyou said thoughtfully.
Liang Yan's heart moved, and he immediately asked: "I wonder what the content of this elixir conference is? How can layman Baixiao test whether everyone has the appearance of becoming a saint?"
