Liang Yan sat idle in the ruined temple for another half day, and then he took control of the escape light and returned to Zhiyuan City.
After he entered the city, he did not go directly to the City Lord's Mansion. Instead, he returned to Jianggu Inn first. After seeing the empty guest room, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
"Ah-Dai has been away for seven or eight days, and no information has been sent back yet. I wonder if he has encountered any danger?"
Although he was a little worried about Ah-Dai's safety, after all, there were still two days before the original ten-day appointment, so he didn't worry too much. He turned around and left Jianggu Inn and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
When Ximen Hao saw Liang Yan coming back, he naturally put on a warm welcome. Not only did he order his servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner, but he also personally poured wine for Liang Yan to express his gratitude.
Liang Yan also smiled and raised his glass, and after some polite exchanges with Ximen Hao, he brought up the matter of the monkey hair of the Four Seasons Split Flame Monkey.
Upon hearing this, Ximen Hao struck two palms in mid-air, and immediately a disciple at the peak of Qi refining walked in from outside the courtyard, holding a yellow jade box in his hands, and presented it to Liang Yan with a very respectful attitude.
Liang Yan stretched out his hand to take the jade box, and immediately felt a scorching heat passing through the jade box to his palm. He raised his eyebrows and opened the jade box the next moment.
He saw a bunch of crimson spirit animal hairs lying in the jade box. Each of these hairs was as long as an index finger. As soon as the jade box was opened, a scorching fire breath rushed towards his face, as if it was going to burn all his eyebrows and beards.
Burn out.
Liang Yan glanced at it briefly and then closed the jade box again. Although he had never seen the Four-Season Splitting Flame Monkey, the fur in this box was so powerful that it could not be possessed by ordinary spirit beasts in the Qi Refining Realm.
, I guess there is no need for the Lord of Ximen City to fool himself with this matter.
"Liang, thank you Lord Ximen for giving me the treasure." Liang Yan smiled slightly and raised his hands towards Ximen Hao.
"Brother Liang, what are you talking about?" Ximen Hao waved his hand and said, "If Brother Liang hadn't acted righteously, my life would have been sealed, and a few monkey hairs wouldn't matter!"
He paused and then said: "In addition, the original rewards of Guanghan, Songhou and others are listed on this bamboo slip. I have ordered my subordinates to transfer these things to Brother Liang's name. I believe it will not take more than two days."
Then it can be sent to your house."
Ximen Hao said and handed out a bamboo slip. Liang Yan took it and opened it, and saw six people on the bamboo slip. Each of them had a reward of two thousand spiritual stones and many resources and treasures.
He took a cursory glance and found that some of the things inside were resources that the sect could use, while others were for personal cultivation needs.
Liang Yan pondered for a while and then said: "Liang accepted the spiritual stones of these six people. As for these resources and treasures, I will leave them to the Taoist Jin of Qianzong."
Ximen Hao smiled and said meaningfully: "The money sect is quite powerful, and Jin Yuye is also a rare cultivation wizard. Coupled with his beautiful face and beautiful face, tsk tsk, Brother Liang is indeed a person with great opportunities!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan just smiled noncommittally. He had obtained the Leiyin Xuanhuo Pearl, which was worth far more than the 5,500 spiritual stones that Jin Yuye owed him. At that time, he promised to repay it after he got the sword.
Seeing that Ximen Hao had misunderstood, Liang Yan did not want to explain more, stood up, said goodbye to him and left.
In fact, it wasn't that Liang Yan didn't want to stay here longer, but that he kept observing his words and expressions, and realized that although Ximen Hao forced a smile on the surface, in fact his features were full of haggardness.
Thinking about it, it took Ximen Hao fifty or sixty years from preparing the sword-making materials, to asking Bailixuan to help him forge the sword, and to the completion of the sword today. He even refused to condense the sword embryo because of this sword.
This shows how much hope he has placed on the "Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword".
Now being surrounded and killed by six people including Shi Guanghan, not only did he fail to sheath the sword, but he also let the flying sword escape. From now on, the sky is huge and the earth is huge, how difficult it is to find the sword again!
Ximen Hao must have been very upset at this time. If Liang Yan had not been his savior, he would not be hosting a banquet here now. He would have left the city to look for the sword long ago.
Liang Yan was not an ignorant person. He got what he wanted, so he didn't want to waste Ximen Hao's time here. He said goodbye to him and turned around to leave.
In the following days, Liang Yan almost didn't go anywhere. He spent most of his time at Jianggu Inn, studying the "Jiuding Soul Nourishment Technique" that he had just received.
This method comes from the Jiuding Sect of the Demonic Dao Sect. It is said that the Jiuding Sect was a medium-sized sect in the Wu Kingdom at that time. Although there is no golden elixir power in the sect, there are also more than a dozen monks from the Juyuan Realm who are in charge. Its scale is comparable to the Tomb of the Dead.
Much bigger.
Of course, Wu Jingwu, the owner of the Tomb of the Dead, later advanced to the golden elixir and even refined it into an emperor's corpse. This is another matter.
"Jiuding Sect" is a secret technique of Jiuding Sect, which is equivalent to the core secret of the sect. If Jiuding Sect was not jointly broken by other medium-sized sects back then, this method may not have fallen into Liang Yan's hands.
Liang Yan read through this secret technique several times, and then sighed softly: "I didn't expect that the Nine Cauldrons Nourishment Technique, although there was no big bottleneck in the early stage, would have such a big flaw in the later stage."
It turns out that this "Nine Cauldrons" is a cauldron formed in the divine consciousness using the secret technique of the magic sect. Every time a cauldron is formed, the sea of divine consciousness can be expanded by 10%. Among them, the first six cauldrons can be formed at the peak of foundation building, and then
However, the Three Cauldrons require the Juyuan Realm to be cast.
It would be fine if it were just the first six tripods. With the gradual advancement of cultivation, no matter how qualified you are, you can eventually master it. But the next three tripods are different. Each tripod requires a demon who is above the Juyuan realm.
Only by practicing the first sacrifice can it be truly forged.
"I didn't expect that this secret technique of magic is so weird. It actually requires the sacrifice of a real devil. Where can I find it?" Liang Yan looked at the ancient book and was speechless for a moment.
In fact, among the four major traditions of the human race, those in the demonic path "learned skills from the barbarians in order to control the barbarians". Naturally, it was indispensable to use the secret skills of the demon leader for his own use. However, Liang Yan had little knowledge and had never known it before. Now he saw this
Such a secret technique naturally seems a bit weird.
And not only him, but even the original disciples of the Jiuding Sect have a headache with this secret technique. The Jiuding Sect is located in the Five Kingdoms of Nanchui, and the land of Nanchui is not bordered by the demons at all, so where can they catch a demon?
Come to practice?
Even among the ancestors of the Jiuding Sect, it is said that only one of them got a demon by chance, so he was lucky enough to form the Seventh Cauldron, and it is said that he also received an innate magical power. As for the other members of the Jiuding Sect, they were just
It can only produce the first six tripods.
However, judging from Liang Yan's current level of cultivation, there is no need to worry too much. Anyway, he is only at the early stage of foundation building. Being able to form the first six tripods of the "Nine Cauldrons of Soul Relief" is already a good improvement.
Okay, as for the future, let’s think about it later.
With this thought in mind, Liang Yan sat cross-legged again and silently started the exercise according to the instructions.
Liang Yan practiced for a day and a night, and at noon the next day, people from the City Lord's Mansion found this place, and respectfully handed a storage bag into his hands.
After Liang Yan opened it, he checked it silently with his spiritual consciousness and found that it was exactly 12,000 spiritual stones. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you Lord Ximen for me."
"Junior must bring it!"
The man bowed respectfully to Liang Yan and then left.
Liang Yan accepted the spirit stone and was naturally very happy. After thinking for a while, he did not continue to practice, but opened the door and left the inn.
