After Li Yan walked out of a store, his expression was calm, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking. After looking at the flow of people on the street, he quickly entered another store again.
Since the origins of the entire "Di Zhen Domain"'s techniques basically come from the Soul-Suppressing Palace, the ones that can be spread are definitely not the other party's core techniques, and such techniques are not allowed in the Soul-Suppressing Palace.
The various techniques and soul techniques that appear in the city are basically the soul cultivation techniques involved here, other techniques that have been collected, or techniques that have been developed by oneself.
Li Yan has not yet opened the two "Empty Shadows" and obtained the "Soul Crystal Buds" from Wu Lei and others. Due to age issues, they can only be used to refine medicine, but they cannot be traded directly.
Then he could only plan to buy more skills at the expense of spiritual stones, and then combine them with some of the skills and soul skills he obtained through soul searching to study them carefully.
His soul power has reached the level of Soul Cultivation Nascent Soul Realm. What he needs to do now is to improve his use of soul skills as soon as possible.
Of course it would be better if you could purchase powerful soul skills. If not, if you could practice the basic soul skills to a minor or even a great level, it would be just as powerful.
When he was below the golden elixir stage and the Guishui Immortal Sect only had skills, Li Yanke only had basic skills to practice.
Anyway, what he asked for was that during the assessment, problems would arise even when a Nascent Soul cultivator performs basic soul skills...
Three days later, Li Yan appeared in a place called "Soul-Destroying City".
In the "City of Broken Souls", in a store that rents out caves, a waiter was pointing at an illusionary map in the sky and explaining it nonstop.
"...Senior, let's take a look at this cave again. It is numbered 'Diyi 4'. It just so happens that a monk just left this month.
The senior has rented here for four hundred years, and now he has successfully broken through to the middle stage of divine transformation.
Senior, you said you should choose an above-average one. This cave is really the best choice. The spirit-gathering formation in this cave was inscribed by Master Mingke himself..."
Li Yan listened to the other party's eloquent story. He also listened with a smile on his face while observing other light spots on the map.
This map shows the topography within a radius of 20,000 miles of the "City of Broken Souls". The total "Earth Realm" is only over 3 million miles. Generally speaking, the range that some forces can control is still limited.
Especially places with rich spiritual energy and abundant cultivation resources are coveted by many forces.
The scenery on the aerial map is completely like a real mountain and water. The rivers and streams inside are still gurgling...
The trees and green grass on those mountains seemed to be gently swaying in the wind, and the green mountains and green waters were a vibrant scene.
Including the scenery in Soul-Dead City itself on the map, it is also transformed into a lifelike one, and there are even little people as big as ants walking back and forth on it.
There are two colored light spots flashing continuously on the picture. Red means that there are people living in it, and white means that the cave is idle.
After Li Yan came in and immediately explained that he needed to rent a cave, the waiter immediately became enthusiastic.
After that, the other party started to recommend places to him.
First there were several caves in the city, and then there was the Tianjia cave outside the city. After Li Yan only listened for a short while, he immediately interrupted the other party.
The caves recommended by this guy were all expensive places, and the prices were so high that Li Yan was frightened.
A cave within the city covering an area of 50 feet would require 200,000 medium-grade spiritual stones in ten years. Even for those Tianjia-branded caves outside the city, the price would not be much lower than within the city.
After Li Yan thought about it, he immediately said that he only needed an above-average choice...
Listening to the other party's eloquent introduction, Li Yan suddenly raised his finger and pointed in the air, which was a white light spot on the map.
"What's the price for renting this cave?"
The guy who was introducing him felt a chill in his heart when he saw the white light spot pointed by Li Yan.
That is a T-shaped cave, and its location is extremely remote, so the price is naturally much lower.
"Senior, didn't you say you wanted something above average? That's just a T-size..."
A quarter of an hour later, under the unwilling gaze of the store clerk, Li Yan, holding a cyan token in his hand, left the "Severing Soul City" and flew toward the northwest of the city.
He flew more than 10,000 miles, and was even questioned twice in the process. Finally, he hovered over a low mountain and stopped.
Li Yan raised his eyes and looked around. Except for this short mountain that was only a hundred feet high, it was surrounded by a large area of weeds and vegetation. A large area of hilly landform spread endlessly into the distance...
Within a hundred miles of this low mountain, there is a good gathering of spiritual energy, and the slopes of the low mountain are also lush.
There is no river passing nearby, and there are endless weeds, tall and short, of various types. There are only a few echoing birdsong from time to time, making the place seem a bit cold and desolate.
But what Li Yan likes is the remoteness and desolation here. The nearest cave to this cave is more than a thousand miles away, which makes Li Yan feel satisfied.
Li Yan was not in a hurry to fall down. After observing carefully, he fell down towards the hillside of the short mountain.
At the same time, with a flash of the token in his hand, he suddenly activated a large-scale defense and restriction formation within a hundred miles of the mountain.
While Li Yan was falling, a translucent passage glowing with yellow light suddenly appeared within a canopy of trees on a short mountain. Li Yan stepped in with one step...
After entering the cave, Li Yan immediately checked around carefully again. Someone must have lived here. His focus was to confirm whether there were any hidden formations here.
Law exists.
This cave is very wide, with a size of five to six hundred feet. It is all located in the middle of the mountain, and there are all kinds of caves inside.
It's just that Li Yan rarely refines elixirs and weapons. He has almost no skills in cultivating immortals and has no extra time at all.
And besides Zi Kun and Qianji, he doesn't keep many monster beasts as pets.
Those poisonous bugs and snow mosquitoes also need a specific environment, so there is no need to take them out and put them here.
Especially now in the "Earth Realm", every time you use your spiritual consciousness to communicate with the storage space, it is an extremely labor-intensive matter.
Li Yan would not easily use his spiritual consciousness without communicating with the storage space.
As a result, 80% of the rooms in this cave are basically useless to Li Yan.
After Li Yan looked around, he took out "Mo Kai" and began to set up his own formation restrictions in the cave.
The advantage of renting a cave is that the daily consumption of spiritual stones for the hundred-mile-wide array restriction outside is borne by the shop.
Of course, generally speaking, the wool comes from the sheep. As long as you are not attacked, the daily operation of the formation does not require too many spiritual stones.
One of the key reasons for renting this place is that if someone attacks the place, monks will come to stop it, or even attack the intruder directly.
However, if someone provokes an enemy and wants to rent a cave to defend against powerful enemies, the situation is different.
But if you explain the reason to the other party in advance, the forces behind the store will consider it and agree to it, then they can take action for you, but the price will be quite high.
If the forces behind the shop feel that it is not worth it and are not willing to offend the other party at all, then they will flatly refuse to rent the cave.
But if you have a wrong idea and want to hide the purpose of renting the cave, if something happens later, the monks who rent the cave will end up badly, and they will face double pursuit by the enemies and the forces behind the shop.
After Li Yan arranged the cave, he felt satisfied. This time, he rented it for ten years and spent nearly 100,000 medium-grade spiritual stones.
When Li Yan entered the training room, he immediately sat down on the futon cross-legged, and then took out a soul slip. After injecting soul power, some information soon appeared in the slip.
Inside the soul slip is a space that can be communicated by soul power. After soul power enters, you can use soul power to burn handwriting patterns inside.
If you want to get these contents, just use your soul power to probe into the space.
But in fact, it is not that you can "see" the content inside, but you can sense the traces left by the soul power, and you can combine these traces to identify them. These traces can be patterns or words.
After Li Yan's soul power was immersed in it, he began to study it carefully.
An introductory soul cultivation technique called "Soul Condensation Technique" was burned into the soul slip. This was also the set of techniques that Li Yan finally selected after spending several days in the market.
Law.
This technique is a state of turning the soul into a "spirit", that is, from the invisible to the tangible. However, the technique sold in the store only has the cultivation level from condensation to spirit transformation, and subsequent techniques
But it's gone.
According to the store clerk, this follow-up technique may not have been created yet, and it should not be a remnant.
When this technique is practiced to the Yuanying realm, it will only transform into a state of smoke. If it condenses into a human form, the appearance cannot be seen clearly, and it is very illusory.
However, he is now able to perform some soul skills on his own after leaving his body.
This is actually a very good technique for Li Yan.
At the same time, Li Yan bought some basic soul skills, basically attack and defense. Li Yan did not have time to practice those auxiliary soul skills.
He will practice these skills and soul skills in comparison with the basic skills and soul skills in the memory of the old man in gray.
Don't think that these things can be easily bought in the market and may be easily lost. In fact, the same is not true.
Those foreign monks couldn't even enter the city, and the interrogation was very strict. They might even be detected and killed on the way close.
Looking at the formulas of the exercises, the soul power in Li Yan's body gradually changed, and he soon fell into practice...
Cultivation has no time, and the years are like wind, turning into a pond full of white snow, drifting with the current, until the autumn leaves fall, turning into a lonely boat, passing away again...
Eight years have passed in a blink of an eye. On the top of the mountain behind the broken military gate, Shangguan Tianque, dressed in white, and Ren Yanyu, dressed in red, are standing side by side.
At this time, Ren Yanyu's aura was already invisible, but it gave people a feeling of being like a deep ocean. She had also successfully transformed into a spirit.
"Senior brother, there has been no news about Elder Li. Has he been captured by the 'Big Winged Golden Roc' clan?
Donglin Tingyue only said that a few of them were separated during the hunt, but during this period, Elder Li also sent a message to the three of them.
Jia Fugui and the 'Dark Fiery Demonic Dog' both communicated with Elder Li and replied to each other, but then lost contact with each other.
Why did the three of them come back in the end, but Elder Li disappeared? I think this is too strange!"
Ren Yanyu said softly.
When she said these words, she slightly frowned her delicate eyebrows, but her face was already filled with dissatisfaction.
She successfully transformed into a god three years ago, and then immediately chose to retreat to recover from her injuries. Shangguan Tianque did not inform her at that time about Li Yan.
She didn't know about this until she came out of seclusion today, and she immediately became worried and dissatisfied with the Donglin family.
The other party actually caused Li Yan to disappear, and the matter could not be explained.
According to the current strength of the Pojun Sect, if they launch an attack, without the care of the Blood Lantern Sect, the Donglin family will definitely be easily wiped out.
