After flying for about half a stick of incense, Li Yan and the others arrived at an island with dense trees and shade. The two of them did not hesitate and fell directly downwards.
At the same time, a token appeared in both of their hands. The moment they touched the invisible formation barrier, light poured into the token. Li Yan only felt the token in his hand shake slightly.
Among the "earth spots", Yang Youxian, who was in a coma, looked even paler. He had just lost another drop of blood.
With a soft "chi" sound, Li Yan and the two passed through an invisible barrier directly. At the same time, several rays of spiritual consciousness swept towards the two of them, and Li Yan sensed a powerful spiritual power from it.
.
"As expected, there are Nascent Soul monks patrolling here all the time, and the precautions are very strict."
This is different from those sects in Desolate Moon Continent. Many sects with Nascent Soul monks only conduct inspections from time to time and do not inspect all visitors.
Even if there is a Nascent Soul taking turns to take charge, most of the time it is used to detect abnormalities through induction, and it is basically meditating with eyes closed.
"Whether it's because you're afraid of a sneak attack from a wind beast, or you're afraid of enemies coming to your door, this kind of precaution is really strict."
Although Li Yan's face remained calm, his muscles were tense and he would rush out as soon as he sensed something was wrong.
That is, there was no situation where the great elder was immediately targeted by several Nascent Souls after his whereabouts were exposed.
"The formation and spiritual consciousness should not have discovered that the disguise of the Chaotic Pill is fake..."
Li Yan quickly judged the surrounding situation in his mind.
But until the two of them entered the formation, although the few spiritual consciousnesses saw the two of them clearly, they still followed them.
"Ten feet, fifty feet, one hundred feet... two hundred feet... three hundred feet... five hundred feet..."
As Li Yan silently calculated in his mind, he was getting farther and farther away from the invisible barrier behind him, but those few rays of consciousness never dispersed, but followed closely, sweeping around his body.
Li Yan looked very normal on the surface. There was a flash of light in his hand and he had already put away the token in his hand, but his heart became more and more tense.
"Isn't this just trying to catch a turtle in a jar?"
The further away from the formation barrier behind him, the more dangerous he is!
At this time, Cao Xun spoke to him.
"Senior Brother Yang, I'm going to hand in the mission! Later, after you register the bottle of elixir I mentioned on the way, you'll have to bother Senior Brother to pay more attention."
After saying that, Cao Xun bowed his hand towards him.
Yang Youxian was good this time. He revealed the treasure he got last month, and Cao Xun took a fancy to a bottle of pills. However, these things were not something that the two of them could get.
Otherwise, they would take advantage of everything purchased by the sect, and everyone else would have to eat leftovers. They could only get the advantage first because of their special status.
For the bottle of elixirs that Cao Xun is interested in, Yang You needs to wait until they are registered and have Yang You first talk to the housekeeper. Then Cao Xun may get one or two of them, or a whole bottle.
As for the good things he likes in the shops in Fangshi, Yang Youxian usually colludes with shopkeeper Wu in advance, but this kind of thing can only happen once or twice in four to five years.
If there are too many, they will show their flaws, and they don't dare to make too many mistakes, otherwise it won't work even if they have a Nascent Soul monk as a backer. After all, there is more than one Nascent Soul monk in the "Qionglin Sect".
Li Yan also nodded towards the other party. Of course he was going to hand in the task, but the place where he handed in the task was not in the same place as Cao Xun, but in the Internal Affairs Hall.
After the two separated, Li Yan flew towards the place in his memory. At the same time, the consciousnesses that scanned him finally left one by one, which made Li Yan finally relax. some.
After Cao Xun and those spiritual consciousnesses left, Li Yan did not go to the Internal Affairs Hall immediately, but flew directly to the northwest.
At this time, the sun was setting, and it was already approaching evening. Li Yan, who was flying, could see the endless deep blue sea outside the island through the transparent barrier.
Li Yan soon came to a cave facing the sea. In front of the cave was a platform made of huge rocks. One side faced the sea and the other side leaned against a mountain peak that was only tens of feet high.
There are several rows of tall trees on both sides of the platform. Under the setting sun, the sea water is sparkling, and the sea breeze blows, and the cool evening sea breeze makes people feel peaceful.
After Li Yanluo glanced around on the platform, he found that there were no monks around, and it seemed increasingly quiet.
He immediately stepped towards the entrance of the cave. After walking only a dozen feet on the platform, he was blocked by an invisible force. However, he could no longer get closer to the entrance of the cave, which was so close.
At this moment, a peaceful voice came out of thin air, floating in the evening wind.
"What brings you here?"
"Master, this disciple has just returned from Fangshi!"
Li Yan bowed with great respect. After hearing this, the voice fell silent for a short time.
"Then why don't you come in?"
As the words fell, Li Yan felt that the invisible force blocking the front suddenly disappeared, and then the cave door in front of him also shook slightly and slowly opened.
Li Yan didn't hesitate and entered the cave in a flash.
The interior of the cave was very large, and what caught Li Yan's view was a quiet courtyard with rocks, fish ponds, and many golden water lilies exuding fragrance.
On one side of the mountain wall, there are streams of clear spring water flowing down. After the water flows into the pond, it makes bursts of sweet sounds. The entire cave is filled with the coolness of summer, making people's body and mind even clearer.
Li Yan walked around rocks and ponds with ease, and kept moving forward with twists and turns on the cobblestone path.
I don't know what kind of formation was used on the roof of the cave, but it actually completely reflected the sky outside the cave. Under the setting sun, half of the golden sky was magnificent and dazzling.
Li Yan knew that it was not an illusion, but the sky outside. It was bright outside, bright here, and night outside, but dark here. This was a very good protective formation.
After walking for about three hundred breaths along the stone path towards the rear, Li Yan walked around rocks and green banana leaves, and there was a pavilion connected to a corridor in front of him.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a green robe is sitting in the pavilion. He is sitting in front of the stone table, holding a cup of tea in his hand, leaning on a big chair, seeming to be thinking about something with his eyes closed, about Li Yan.
It’s almost as if you haven’t heard of it approaching.
Li Yan walked to the pavilion and stood outside the corridor without making a sound.
Time passed by like this, until the middle-aged man in green robe slowly opened his eyes, took another sip of tea, placed the tea cup behind the stone table, and then looked at Li Yan.
He admired the eldest disciple's character very much, he was steady and sophisticated.
"Youxian, what did you find in Fangshi?"
The middle-aged man in green robe was Yang Youxian's master, "Venerable Bihai". When he heard Yang Youxian say that he had returned from Fangshi, he knew what the other party's intention was.
Something that Yang You can take a fancy to should have a certain value.
"Master, my disciple saw a damaged magic weapon in the market. He thought it must have been refined by the Confucian Nascent Soul, so he took it back at a high price. I would like to ask Master to identify it!"
As Li Yan spoke, he reached out and took a shot from his storage bag. In a flash of black light, a black inkstone appeared in the air. It was his own magic weapon.
Normally speaking, the treasures that Yang Youxian brought back must be registered in the Internal Affairs Hall first, and if they are too valuable, they must come back and report to "Venerable Bihai" and hold his handwriting before they can be taken out of the Internal Affairs Hall.
Tangible.
But occasionally Yang Youxian will get the treasure here first, but there are not many such things. For example, even if Cao Xun knows about the inkstone, he will inform his master, which will also cause trouble.
Of course, if Yang Youxian and Shopkeeper Wu had colluded in advance, he would have kept this thing for himself.
However, Li Yan did not want his magic weapon to be left in the Internal Affairs Hall, so he would not go to the Internal Affairs Hall for the so-called task handover. Anyway, he only needed to have some time to take action after meeting "Venerable Bihai".
Cao Xun was probably still handing over his own affairs at this time. He purchased a lot of things and needed to count them one by one. This happened to give Li Yan some free time.
"Confucian Nascent Soul level magic weapon? This is not easy to see in Fangshi!"
"Venerable Bihai" suddenly became interested and glanced over with a pair of fine eyes.
Of course, there are Nascent Soul-level magic weapons in the market, but if you want to encounter those that are truly high-level, you may have to go to the auction house. However, in some shops, you can occasionally pick them up.
It all depends on luck and vision. He still thinks Yang Youxian's vision is okay.
Li Yan quickly took a few steps forward. Although he did not enter the pavilion, he respectfully handed over the black inkstone through the guardrail.
"Venerable Bihai" reached out and took it. Of course, he would not take any precautions against his eldest disciple. After taking the black inkstone, "Venerable Bihai" immediately scanned it with his spiritual consciousness.
Immediately, his expression became condensed, which indeed contained the awe-inspiring righteousness of Confucianism, and he didn't look weak at all.
It's just that this treasure looks like it has been corroded by something extremely sinister, and he can feel a cold blood surge from its surface.
"It's really a good Confucian magic weapon. If it can remove the cold blood energy, and if it can stimulate the awe-inspiring righteousness in it, its power will be much better than the few magic weapons in my hand..."
While he was thinking, he immersed his consciousness into the magic weapon and began to explore it carefully!
Li Yan, on the other hand, was separated by several horizontal guardrails, standing with his hands lowered in a respectful manner, with a low eyebrow and a submissive look.
After more than a hundred breaths passed, "Venerable Bihai" finally withdrew his consciousness and turned his head to look at Li Yan.
"This should be a set of magic weapons. If my teacher is not mistaken, it may be the four treasures of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. They are a set of magic weapons refined together. Do you only get this one?"
In other words, you only saw this magic weapon in the market, and the other three magic weapons..."
And when he said this, his face, which had always been calm and calm, suddenly changed, and the black inkstone in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang" sound.
Then, "Venerable Bihai" turned back with difficulty, his face was extremely shocked, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he was staring at "Yang Youxian" standing outside the guardrail.
"Why...why do you want to plot against me as a master?"
"Venerable Bihai" felt that his body was numb all over, and The numbness first came from his hands, and other parts of his body also showed up almost immediately.
Before, he didn't feel anything at all, everything happened so suddenly.
Just now, the Nascent Soul in his Dantian stood up suddenly, and then the magic power in his body was like skin, with a hint of "sluggishness" in its operation.
There is a strange feeling between his own induction and the mana in his body. This is poisoning. The "strangeness" of the mana is a barrier between him and his consciousness after being poisoned.
"Venerable Bihai" figured out everything in an instant, and a look of astonishment appeared on the face of "Yang Youxian" outside the guardrail. He was eager to take a step forward, but under the sharp eyes of "Venerable Bihai", he immediately stopped.
"Master, you...what's wrong with you?"
His expression made the "Venerable Bihai" who was staring at him wonder for a moment whether it was his disciple who didn't know what was going on? Could this poison be the magic weapon itself? But he quickly reacted.
"You are not the first, what about others? Who are you?"
This magic weapon is poisonous, but it was taken out by the "Yang Youxian" in front of me. He must have carefully investigated it bit by bit. Why was nothing wrong with him?
In an instant, "Venerable Bihai" knew that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.
"Master...Master, of course...it's me. What are you talking about? Don't be joking!"
The stunned expression on "Yang Youxian's" face just now was now filled with panic and a look of bewilderment, giving people a very frightened feeling.
Li Yan did not admit it immediately, but deliberately continued to act. He must do his best to be safe in his affairs, just to delay it for a little longer.
The poison he planted on the inkstone magic weapon was called "Muliu Puppet". He named this poison after seeing the puppet refined by "Muliu Gate".
The onset of this poison is somewhat slow, and it is the kind of immersion that "moistens things silently". The poison will adhere to the flesh, flesh and walls of muscles and veins, slowly forming a layer of membrane.
The monk becomes more and more "familiar" with his own magic power, and has an uncontrollable sense of alienation, until finally he can no longer sense the magic power at all.
The poison of "Muliu Puppet" will disappear on its own after a period of time, with no subsequent harm to the body.
As for the duration of the poison, it must be controlled by Li Yan personally. He has to decide how much poison to use based on the opponent's cultivation level.
These are all things that Li Yan can only know after a little testing on his own. Therefore, the "fragmented and poisonous body" is powerful, but every time he is divided and promoted, it is the most painful time for Li Yan.
He had to test them one by one, and this kind of test was not just about taking a monster and putting poison on it. It required careful observation of its various reactions, continuous recording, and speculation.
At the same time, it is necessary to judge based on the opponent's cultivation level, and even the different surrounding environments, etc., in order to finally determine the method of applying this poison.
Seeing "Venerable Bihai" take the black inkstone, Li Yan felt slightly relieved until his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the magic weapon and observed it...
"Who are you...? What is the deep grudge between me and Your Excellency? You have spent so much time plotting against me!"
"Venerable Bihai" said almost word by word. At the same time, even his sitting body shook a few times, and some of the aura that had just burst out from his body quickly weakened.
Looking at "Venerable Bihai"'s sharp and fierce gaze and rapidly fading aura, Li Yan's spiritual consciousness swept over him. What he wanted to do was not to allow the other party any means or opportunity to resist.
