As for the great elder who came over to have a chat with Li Yan during this period, Li Yan didn't find it strange. The other party was confirming something about the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique".
In this regard, Li Yan did not comment. Anyway, he admitted that he knew the existence of this skill. As for whether he practiced it? The other party did not ask explicitly, and Li Yan did not give a direct answer.
This is the benefit brought by strength. A young monk should not ask others what they want. Even a small life can be determined by a strong man's thoughts.
Of course, the great elder would not get entangled in the same topic, and he also had a discussion with Li Yan on the art of physical refining.
Li Yan asked himself whether he had benefited very little from it, but the Great Elder actually benefited a lot.
After all, Li Yan has a physical body tempered by the essence and blood of the "Immortal Nether Wind". His feelings when the power is running and the route of his energy and blood are not known to others.
During this period, Li Yan did not even ask if the wind beasts were attacking the Tianli tribe during this period. He was just waiting quietly for Gong Chenying to come out of seclusion.
Time flies, and more than a month has passed!
On this day, Li Yan, who was practicing in the building, suddenly opened his eyes, then stood up and walked towards the hall.
After a few breaths, a light blue light flew from the mountains in the distance, circled, and landed in front of the courtyard door where Li Yan lived.
When the light faded away, a slender and graceful figure was revealed, it was Gong Chenying.
Gong Chenying has short hair like black silk, arrow sleeves, a blue shirt, and a white jade belt. The waist is tied up and her chest is more rounded. The blue shirt hangs straight down, and her long legs reflect her tall figure.
Half of the rounded calves are exposed while walking, and the skin is glowing with wheat color, exuding a texture as delicate as jade and porcelain.
She glanced around slightly with her consciousness and sensed a vague restraining force outside the courtyard.
The courtyard here originally had a formation to restrict defense, but at this moment it was obvious that Li Yan added another layer of formation defense.
The monks always only believe in the protection of their own homes.
Gong Chenying had just walked towards the courtyard door. The courtyard door had opened automatically. Gong Chenying smiled and entered the courtyard in a flash...
In the hall on the second floor, on both sides of a coffee table, Li Yan frowned as he looked at Gong Chenying, who was still looking a little pale and sitting opposite him.
"Sixth Senior Sister, your injury has not fully recovered, why did you come here today?"
Gong Chenying waved his jade hands.
"There are many things in my heart, and I cannot practice with peace of mind, not to mention that the injuries in my body are already steadily improving. After I finish talking to my junior brother, I will go back to heal my injuries."
She has a calm and straightforward personality. Although she is taciturn, she always treats things cleanly, and even unpleasant events linger in her heart.
Having said this, Gong Chenying paused for a moment before continuing.
"What's more, the elixir given by my junior brother is of extremely high level. Although it only takes a month to refine it, it is actually no big deal.
Especially that drop of 'melted bamboo shoots' can instantly restore the almost dry Dantian and tendons to be full of mana, which is even more powerful for refining medicine!"
As he spoke, his beautiful eyes, as clear as springs, also had a long-lost warmth.
Since she returned to the clan, she has always given people the impression of being cold and noble. Even when she talks to Gong Shanhe, she rarely brings out too much emotion. Mood fluctuations.
Looking at the dark-skinned young man with short steel-like hair, Gong Chenying felt a little dazed.
Although Li Yan's appearance has not changed much, he no longer has the youthfulness of his former "little junior brother", and his body looks stronger and stronger, like a piece of refined iron that has been tempered over thousands of times.
"After you and Min'er fell off the cliff, Master and Mistress have been looking for you for a long time, and I have been waiting for a long time..."
Speaking of this, Gong Chenying looked at Li Yan, with a trace of recollection in her eyes. It was a time that made her feel uneasy.
"It's a pity that throughout the years, you have never appeared in Xiaozhu Peak!"
"We have entered the Forgotten Continent..."
Li Yan also looked at the beauty in front of him, and then spoke.
Then, he told Gong Chenying about it, including the "Thousand-layer True Monarch", which he also mentioned. But just like what he told Zhao Min, he said that it was an immortal fate that he had unintentionally obtained.
Because he practiced the skills of a certain sect and received help from the seniors of that sect, he escaped from danger.
This is the maximum information that Li Yan can reveal, and in this world, apart from Qi Ling Pingtu, only Zhao Min and Gong Chenying know that he has met Qianzhong Zhenjun.
Li Yan's tone has always been calm and calm. From the Forgotten Continent to the Qingqing Continent, he also mentioned Su Hong, Bai Rou and Shuang Qingqing one by one.
Gong Chenying just listened quietly, with an expression on his face that would only occasionally change. That was when Li Yan and Zhao Min were about to live and die.
Although she knew that nothing happened between the two of them, she still had a look of worry on her cold face.
Li Yan's narration lasted for an hour, and he recounted all his experiences with Zhao Min, as well as how he returned to the Desolate Moon Continent.
But he still omitted one thing intentionally or unintentionally, and that was the affair between him and the Nascent Soul female cultivator of the Black Demon Clan. That incident still seems baffling to Li Yan.
"Although you and Min'er have gone through many dangers, this is also the journey of a monk. You have both received many opportunities that are unavailable on the Desolate Moon Continent. On the other hand, it is worth it!"
Zhao Min was studying the supreme treasure book "The Heavenly Demon White Jade Plate" in the White Demon Clan, and Li Yan did not hide it. Zhao Min had already told Li Yan about it.
"There is no need to hide anything about me from Senior Sister Ying, you can tell me everything!"
After Gong Chenying finished saying this, a strange color flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Junior brother, you and Min'er have both planted the 'heart-wrenching poison', so have you become a Taoist couple?"
"Yes, more than ten years ago, Min'er and I became Taoist couples! But I want to explain this to you..."
The expression on Gong Chenying's face remained unchanged, but she waved her hand gently, interrupting Li Yan's explanation.
She had already guessed the result ever since she heard that Zhao Min, who was in the foundation-building stage, had planted the "heart-wrenching poison" on herself and Li Yan in order to save Li Yan and keep her chastity at the same time.
Although Zhao Min and she had already understood Li Yan's intentions in the small mountain village of Daqing Mountain, she was actually the one who made the engagement with Li Yan in the first place.
"
Junior brother, why do you need to explain this matter? You and Min'er have spent nearly a hundred years together, sharing weal and woe, and there is nothing that makes me feel dissatisfied. Besides... you said that you only became a Taoist couple more than ten years ago, so it has been a long time..."
At this point, she stopped talking, her beautiful eyes still extremely clear.
"Ah Ying, it's not that I want to explain it, but there are things that I have to let you know, and I can't contact you.
When the eldest brother got married, he asked "Gui Gu Lai Xi" to entrust you with a letter, but he never received a reply and no one knew about your situation.
And... Moreover, the fifth senior brother and the seventh senior brother were not able to attend the big brother's wedding..."
When Li Yan said this, he looked a little sad.
Gong Chenying's originally calm appearance changed slightly.
"What happened to Fifth Senior Brother and Daqiao? Are they in danger? Or something else?"
In fact, she already had a vague suspicion in her mind.
Li Yan sighed and recounted what happened in the peak after he returned to Xiaozhu Peak.
Only then did Gong Chenying realize that a month ago, Li Yan concealed so many things out of fear that he would be unstable.
She sat on the side of the coffee table, listening to Li Yan's narration, and remained silent for a long time.
Although there are eight senior brothers and sisters, she is the one who dislikes talking the least and likes to be alone the most. However, the past of the apprentice in Xiaozhu Peak was also the happiest and most relaxing time in her memory.
Wen Xinliang's free and easy attitude, Lin Daqiao's cleverness, the senior brother's uninhibited attitude...
Whenever she was tired after the war, in addition to missing Li Yan, she would also think of her fellow disciples at Xiaozhufeng. She could always see their figures somewhere in the night sky. In recalling them, her tired mood relaxed a lot.
After a long silence, Gong Chenying raised his head again.
"It turns out that the mistress has not yet been able to conceive a baby. She just missed Min'er too much and was in a bad mood! I hope that after seeing that Min'er has someone to entrust her to, she can put everything aside and the baby will be successful!"
As a woman, Gong Chenying is as attentive as a hair, and she has been with Zhao Min since childhood, so she can see clearly into the thoughts of the master's wife.
"It should be no problem!"
Li Yan nodded again, of course he also hoped that Zhao Zhi's birth would be successful.
At this moment, Gong Chenying's voice suddenly turned cold.
"I haven't received the news about Eldest Brother's wedding!"
When Gong Chenying said this, a hint of coldness flashed deep in her eyes. This was the first time she heard a message from Li Wuyi to her.
She often fights abroad, and the only people who can intercept her letters are those in the clan. Although she spoke calmly, Li Yan already saw the problem.
The reputation of "Gui Gu Lai Xi" is still very good. If the delivery of the letter fails, at least Li Wuyi will get a reply.
He had doubts about this since he came to the Tianli tribe. The senior brother also mentioned his and Zhao Min's return in the letter, but Gong Chenying looked at a loss.
"You didn't get the message?"
"I have guessed some reasons for this. You don't need to ask about this matter. I will handle it myself!"
Gong Chenying is talking I can't hear any emotion at all.
Li Yan's thoughts changed rapidly, and then he did not continue on this topic.
"By the way, I haven't been out recently. I wonder if those wind beasts have attacked again this month!"
Li Yan asked further. The elder of the Tianli clan did not mention the current situation of the wind beast, and he did not ask further.
If I were too anxious to get on the pole to help, the other party wouldn't know what to think of me, but this was something I could ask Gong Chenying.
"When I came out before, I asked the tribesmen. In the past month, the lower and middle-level wind beasts of the three tribes are still attacking every day, but those fourth-level wind beasts have not appeared again."
"Oh? I thought they would have to recharge their batteries after being hurt last time, but they are still attacking your clan?"
There was a look of confusion on Li Yan's face. This was not only the reason why his guess was wrong, but also caused heavy losses to the opponent in the last battle without stopping at all.
Gong Chenying seemed to see the doubt in Li Yan's mind.
"Actually, if you stay here for a while, you will know the reason. For more than ten years, the three tribes of wind beasts have joined forces for unknown reasons, and they have never stopped.
Even if their plan failed this time, they still let a large number of low-level wind beasts attack non-stop, which is constantly consuming our low-level monks and mortal warriors.
This may not seem to have much impact, but it is shaking the foundation of our clan.
The strength of any of the three tribes of wind beasts is not as good as that of the Tianli tribe, and the speed of reproduction is not as good as ours. This is why the Tianli tribe, with its own strength, has been able to resist the three tribes of wind beasts without falling.
But when these three tribes of wind beasts are added up, their total number exceeds ours by about 30%.
They adopt a desperate strategy of dying together and exchanging lives for lives, just to completely consume our low-level monks and mortal warriors.
In this way, the remaining mid-level and high-level monks we have are just rootless duckweeds, losing the possibility of selecting disciples with spiritual roots from mortals, and also cutting off the promotion and strength of low-level monks."
Gong Chenying in blue clothes with arrow sleeves looks heroic no matter where he sits.
What she said always gave people a calm and calm feeling, as if what she said had nothing to do with her.
Li Yan nodded. The affairs of the Tianli clan would not change much because of his arrival. Li Yan knew that he was not a god, but an ordinary monk.
Gong Chenying glanced at Li Yan, and there was actually one thing in her heart that she had not yet said.
In the past month, although the great elder did not go to look for her, there was an urgent matter. They probably wanted Li Yan to help, but they were unable to speak because they were injured.
Therefore, the third elder still met Gong Chenying in the name of delivering medicine. Gong Chenying understood some of the meaning of his words, but he remained silent.
That is because the "Grey Cloud Eagle" of the Tianli tribe suffered almost all casualties in the previous battle, making it extremely difficult to defend the "Wind Wild Goose Beast" this month.
The Tianli clan can only send out monks to deal with it, but the opponent will also send out corresponding third-level wind beasts to stop them.
In just one month, although the Tianli clan's defense range did not lose much with the help of the monks, the death of mortal soldiers increased exponentially, and 60% of the damage came from the sky.
