As his skin undulated like waves, Li Yan's bones made an overwhelming "knock, click, click..." sound, as if they would break at any time.
Li Yan was sweating like rain, and the severe pain from his body kept attacking his nerves. But Li Yan seemed not to feel anything about it.
He has experienced this kind of pain countless times. Whether he is practicing the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" or refining blood essence, it is an inhuman purgatory process.
It's just that Li Yan feels that the pain now is much lighter than before, and his endurance seems to be getting stronger...
Another half an hour later, Li Yan's bones made a dense sound like rain, and suddenly condensed into a sound. This sound exploded in Li Yan's body like muffled thunder, and the entire training room was violently shaken! .?
?.
Li Yanjing stood naked in the training room. He felt the power in his body that had not risen for a long time and involuntarily clenched his fists.
The moment you make a fist, you will feel an extremely full and bulging feeling in the pulps of your ten fingers. This is the feeling of fullness brought about by a sudden increase in strength.
"I broke through to the fourth level in just half a day, and my level also improved slightly. It's really good!"
Li Yan said to himself with a happy face.
After half a day, the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" broke through to the fourth level, and the bottleneck in the middle stage of Nascent Soul was actually somewhat loosened.
Although it is still far from the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, being able to improve at this level, even a little bit, is something that is hard to come by.
Li Yan knew that this seemingly easy step was actually his long-term accumulation.
On the one hand, he has reached the third level of "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" for a long time, but he still practices it repeatedly on daily basis. Although it cannot allow him to break through to the fourth level, it will make the foundation stronger and stronger.
In addition, Li Yan refined a few drops of "Immortal Phoenix" essence and blood, making him reach the level of flesh, blood, bones, and tendons, even exceeding the fourth level of "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique".
.
Even the pain during practice is much less than when practicing each level before. With this foundation, Li Yanque can only follow the practice route, and everything will fall into place.
Li Yan looked around, but there was no place for him to test his strength.
But the next moment, Li Yan's figure suddenly disappeared from the place, and dozens of Li Yan's figures suddenly appeared in the training room. They turned at large angles, drawing a series of afterimages in the room.
Everything flows smoothly without any lag.
Within just five breaths, hundreds of figures of Li Yan appeared in the entire training room. Finally, when Li Yan stood back to his original position, those afterimages were still disappearing one by one.
"In five breaths, the speed of 'Feng Chongtian' increased by more than 10%, and it stopped at the extreme speed. During the turn, the physical body's endurance was also a little easier.
Although the power of the essence and blood of the 'Immortal Phoenix' will be used inadvertently, the physical strength has been improved overall! Let's see how long it takes to reach the fifth level."
Li Yan touched his chin with his hand in the afterimage of disappearing, assessing the extent of his improvement in his mind.
In the next period of time, Li Yan began to practice more diligently!
More than twenty days later, Li Yan, who was practicing, suddenly had a sudden change of expression, fell into the sea, and immediately stopped practicing.
He was naked from the waist up, and as the magic power in his body was running, all the sweat on his body disappeared, and then a black robe appeared on his body.
When he came to the training room, a transmission note was flying around in the outdoor confinement. He took it from the air, and his consciousness immediately sank into it. The old voice immediately entered his mind.
"Fellow Daoist Li, can you come to the Tianli Hall?"
But it was the voice of the great elder.
Li Yan pondered for a moment, and seemed to have a guess in his mind, so he strode out of the house.
…………
"Tianli Hall", when Li Yan entered, he found that there were already five people sitting here, one of whom surprised him.
In addition to the first elder, the second elder and the third elder were all there, and there was another person sitting next to the second elder, but Li Yan did not recognize him.
What surprised Li Yan was the Hongyin nun who was sitting not far from the great elder, with a somewhat illusory figure.
After seeing Li Yan come in, several people looked at Li Yan with different expressions. Except for the fifth elder, the others nodded towards Li Yan.
The fifth elder looked a little dull. He just glanced at Li Yan and then looked away without saying anything, leaving people wondering what he was thinking.
The great elder looked at Li Yan with a smile and spoke first.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I'm looking for you to come here. I'm afraid I've disturbed your spiritual practice. Please forgive me! Oh, you've met the rest of them too. That one is the fifth elder of the clan."
"Great Elder, you're welcome!"
Li Yan said politely.
After looking at where everyone was sitting in the hall, he also glanced at the fifth elder. After the man glanced at himself, he immediately looked away, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him.
Seeing this, Li Yan already had something in mind, so he walked towards the third elder, and soon sat down next to her.
When the third elder saw Li Yan approaching, his beautiful eyes were full of smiles, which made Li Yan feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Yan had nothing to do. In the hall, the great elder and Hongyin were both at the head.
Maybe everyone here already knows Hongyin's original identity. Even though the opponent's cultivation level has plummeted and he has lost his body, the God-Transformation monk is the God-Transformation monk, and they have shown due respect.
After the two parties have agreed to cooperate, and with the relationship between Gong Chenying and due respect, the Tianli people will certainly not be stingy and will not do anything that makes people dissatisfied.
Below the two people, the second elder and the fifth elder sat in a row, and the third elder sat opposite the second elder, which was quite targeted.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The two surnames of the clan are mainly Gong and Miao. Unintentionally, when discussing matters on weekdays, both parties will subconsciously sit in separate groups.
Of course, Li Yan didn't want to sit under the fifth elder. When he saw that face, he didn't bother to get close to him, so he naturally sat next to the third elder.
But the third elder always likes to look at Li Yan a few more times every time he sees him.
Although he didn't know whether the other party was surprised by some of his tricks or whether it was just the nature of Tianli women, Li Yan always felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the other party.
He couldn't just stare at the other person's undulating figure and keep looking back.
Fortunately, the great elder continued to speak after seeing Li Yan sit down.
"Shanhe, the Fourth Elder, and the Sixth Elder are all in retreat. It may take some time for them to recover, so they didn't come!"
He opened his mouth to explain why
What was the reason why Gong Shanhe didn't come over? After hearing this, Li Yan looked up at the great elder and nodded. He didn't feel anything about it.
Gong Shanhe and the others had only been back for just over twenty days. No matter how many things happened in the clan, it was impossible for him to not recover from his injuries. After his strength was restored, he could withstand more risks.
Li Yan's eyes passed over Hongyin again. He was still a little surprised. He could roughly guess the reason why the great elder came to him, but what he wanted Hongyin to come over for was to hear her opinion on the matter.
But when he glanced at Hongyin, Hongyin also looked at him and said something that surprised Li Yan.
"Chen Ying is currently comprehending the techniques I teach and cannot come!"
Everyone in the hall was startled when they heard the words, and then they realized what the nun Hongyin was saying to Li Yan. It seemed that Hongyin had also confirmed the relationship between Li Yan and Gong Chenying as Taoist lovers.
At the same time, in Hongyin's opinion, Gong Chenying is qualified to participate in the meeting here.
"Sixth Senior Sister, this new Master is very satisfied with her. Otherwise, there would be no need to explain to her alone. This means that she cares about Sixth Senior Sister. Aiwujiwu?"
Li Yan thought in his heart.
At the same time, he also glanced at the reactions of others after hearing these words. Except for the second elder, there was no reaction, but the face of the fifth elder seemed to be gloomier.
"Ha! It's you who hid Sixth Senior Sister's letter and still looks like you deserve a beating. You need to find a chance to settle the account!"
Li Yan had a calm expression on his face. He had always been the one to retaliate for his anger, but he had been thinking about that incident. At this moment, the other party's expression fell into his eyes again. This made Li Yan, who was smiling, think about the other party even more.
.
This was also the result of the fifth elder deliberately not concealing it. The fifth elder already had a grudge against Li Yan for ruining some of their plans after his arrival.
Moreover, he also felt that Li Yan's cultivation level as mentioned by the Second Elder and others was exaggerated. Killing an opponent of the same level? What he could do was that he just appeared rashly and took advantage of the situation. The right time and place.
And Li Yan was already thinking about when to find an opportunity to "communicate" with this person.
Although one should not underestimate any monk, Li Yan could roughly guess the opponent's Nascent Soul's early stage state after being beaten to rest by Yan San and the others for so many years with his eyes closed.
"Hehehe... I invited Fellow Daoist Li here just to discuss ways to deal with the wind beast in the swamp. Since Fellow Daoist Hongyin is very familiar with the situation of the 'Yinshan Beast', I also invited her here to see if she has any good suggestions.
For our family’s reference.
At the same time, Fellow Daoist Li also went to the bottom of the swamp, looked at the situation there, and even fought against the clone of the fifth-level ‘Yinshan Beast’. Of course, he needed to listen to Fellow Daoist Li’s opinion.
These are matters for our Tianli clan, and if we invite you two to come over, we will trouble Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Hongyin."
The great elder explained his intention to let Li Yan and the others come over.
But as soon as the first elder finished speaking, the fifth elder with a dull and gloomy face suddenly spoke up.
"Great Elder, you are being a little too polite. Fellow Daoist Hongyin is our guest and is currently recovering from physical illness. This is certainly troublesome.
But this Taoist friend Li Yan is the ‘King Qing’. From every point of view, he is one of his own and can contribute to matters. Will he still be stingy with his methods?”
As soon as he said these words, the great elder frowned, but Li Yan's expression remained as usual. .
"This guy comes up and puts a big hat on himself. Then he wants me to strike for free? Just enough damage, but not enough beating?"
However, Li Yan remained calm on the surface, and when the fifth elder finished speaking, he also spoke with a smile.
"What the Fifth Elder said is that I am indeed one of my own family members. If anything happens to you, First Elder, just ask. If I can do it, I will take action. Since you are one of your own family members, there is nothing bad to say about everything."
When Li Yan said "my family", he deliberately emphasized his tone. When he came, he was guessing the purpose of calling the elder here.
Now the second elder is setting a trap for himself, so if you want me to be generous in the future, I will follow you and say, "My family"? Hehehe, you have to be generous to me when the time comes.
After hearing what Li Yan said, the fifth elder's eyes quietly flashed with light, but he did not continue to speak, while the second elder remained silent.
The second elder now also knows that this Li Yan has a deep mind and a sharp tongue. He is definitely a difficult person to deal with. Without substantive issues and interests involved, he does not want to show off his quick words.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyin, according to what Shanhe said, you were the one who suppressed the fifth-level 'Yinshan Beast' with your own hands. I would venture to ask, in addition to its strong cultivation, what other weaknesses does it have that can defeat our clan?"
Can it be used?
Can we cast another spell to suppress him before he wakes up, or are there any other ways to delay his awakening, so as to buy time for our tribe to migrate."
The Great Elder immediately got to the point.
Hongyin already knew the purpose of asking her to come here and had already thought about it. She almost didn't think about it and answered immediately.
"With the current strength of your clan's monks, it should be impossible to suppress them directly! Unless you still have the high-grade magic weapon refined by the previous monks who transformed themselves into gods, and it is the kind of magic weapon that is the most powerful and the most powerful!
As for delaying time? There are ways, but they also require corresponding conditions. The "Yinshan Beast" is an extremely cold and extremely yin creature, and cannot be compared to the three wind beasts.
If there are more than four eminent Buddhist Yuanying monks or Confucian Yuanying monks, they can join forces and use Buddhist magical powers or the power of awe-inspiring righteousness.
While it is still sleeping, by casting the spell again, it may be possible to slow down the speed at which it absorbs the cold "Sky Eye Wind" under the swamp.
It should be possible to suppress it for another five to ten years by then.
As for the weakness of the 'Yinshan Beast', as I said before, it has an attribute of Yin Zhihan, and Confucian Haoran Zhengqi and Buddhist techniques can best restrain it.
Your Tianli clan follows the two immortal paths of witchcraft and body cultivation, but you can use the Zhiyang method in witchcraft to suppress it.
For example, I know that in witchcraft, the technique of refining the 'Hong Furnace Seven Light Wood' can also be suppressed by this kind of witchcraft, but without the god-transforming monks, several great wizards must work together to do it.
There is no problem with physical training against other wind beasts, but for the "Yinshan Beast", it can only be defeated with force after it is strong enough to a certain extent.
Although most physical practitioners follow the path of strength, they only make their own energy and blood strong and full of yang energy, and they are not a true conflict of attributes!"
After Hongyin said this, she stopped talking and said no more.
She understood very clearly that the "Yinshan Beast" was not easy to deal with. Back then, as powerful as the "Hongfu Temple" was, it could only suppress the seal but could not kill it, let alone a Tianli clan that did not have a god-transforming monk to take charge.
