The two flew until they were sure there were no pursuers behind them, then slowed down and stopped to treat Tao Ying's wounds.
Tong Yan took out some healing pills and gave them to her, and asked casually: "Who is that female cultivator? Why do you have such a deep grudge? She will definitely kill you."
Tao Ying took the pill and took a few pills, then returned the rest and said, "Thank you, three pills are enough."
"Her name is Shen Xinwan, and she is the daughter of Shen Qianshan, the elder of Yuanying of the Sword Sect. I don't remember where I offended her. If I did, it was at most a month ago that we had a dispute over the same thing."
Moreover, the last magic weapon that she was interested in was also forcefully bought by Shen Xinwan. It could not be because of this reason that she always deliberately targeted her, or even wanted to kill her.
Tong Yan had no intention of asking deeply about the grudges between them, but his attention was attracted by the name, "What did you say her name was? Shen Xinwan?"
Tao Ying said again: "Yes, Shen Xinwan, joyful Xin, graceful Wan."
"Is it possible that you have heard of her name? But she is a genius with a single spiritual root of the Sword Sect and has a beautiful appearance. She also has a father who is in the Nascent Soul stage. It is normal that you have heard of her name."
There are jade papers for sale in the market that record information about the status and potential disciples of various sects. Shen Xinwan was naturally among them. Tong Yanxu only felt that this name was familiar after reading it.
"I'm so happy...Fortunately, it's not the same word as sister Xinwan." Tong Yan murmured in a low voice.
Tao Ying didn't hear what she said clearly and asked: "What did you say?"
There was no need to elaborate on this matter with her. Tong Yan pointed at the elixirs in front of him with his chin, "I told you to take these elixirs and use them. There is no need to return them. I still have some of them myself."
Tao Ying was hesitant at first, but when she thought that she had just entered the secret realm and had consumed half of the elixirs due to Shen Xinwan's pursuit, she did not refuse, took back the porcelain bottle and said gratefully: "Thank you Taoist Tong, how about I pay you the spirit stone?" ?I can’t thank you enough for your willingness to save me just now, but I really can’t accept your elixirs for free anymore.”
There are many elixirs in Tong Yan's storage bag, and the types are very rich. In addition to most of the elixirs bought by Shang Xun, there are also some prepared by senior brother Luo Dong.
Because she had prepared a lot, she didn't care about the one or two bottles, and said, "Last time we met, you saved me in time. Let these be considered as thank you gifts."
After this reminder, Tao Ying also remembered that she had revealed her flaw in a trance when facing the enemy. She blocked it by herself, and then smiled and said: "Last time it was just a little effort. Today you save me and we are even."
"That's right, don't worry about keeping the elixir."
Tao Ying stopped refusing and said, "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist Tong. Where should we go next?"
Tao Ying asked after collecting the elixir.
"Let's go deeper into the secret realm."
The two of them moved forward without encountering any high-level monsters. They collected medicinal herbs and fought monsters every day, and spent a few days without any danger.
That day, they heard the sound of fighting in the distance and stopped in unison.
The Yanhui Secret Realm was very large. With so many monks coming in, they didn't meet any of them for so long. They didn't know whether the monk they met at this moment was an enemy or a friend. The two of them looked at each other and then approached cautiously.
In the forest, four monks dressed in black were working together to kill a huge fourth-level vajra bear.
The fourth-level monster already had the strength of the early stage of foundation building, but the four qi-training disciples cooperated tacitly. Although it was a bit difficult, there was no danger. There were also several monks dressed in the same clothes standing next to them watching their fight.
After seeing the costumes and the leader of the team clearly, Tao Ying told Tong Yan with a face of surprise, "They are from Jianzong, I know them."
As soon as they finished speaking, they ran out and shouted to the male monk closest to them: "Uncle Yang!"
Master Yang was careful about the hand holding the sword, and relaxed a little after seeing the person coming, "It turns out to be Master Tao, he's been doing fine these days." Then he saw Tong Yan following behind, and asked, "Who is this?
"
Tao Ying introduced: "This is fellow Taoist Tong Yantong. I have been with her these past few days. This is Master Yang from our Sword Sect and the captain of our team."
Tong Yan looked up at Senior Brother Yang, nodded politely and smiled.
Senior Brother Yang observed her and returned the greeting politely, then turned his eyes back to the battlefield.
Tao Ying also looked at the fighting sect of the same name and asked: "Uncle Yang, do I want to go up and help?"
"No, it's just a level four monster, a few of them are enough."
Seeing that Tao Ying had found her team, Tong Yan thought that she should leave alone. He stretched out his hand to pull her and said, "Since you have found your fellow disciple, I will leave first."
"Where are you going?" Tao Ying heard her say she was leaving and was worried that it would be dangerous for her to go on the road alone. She wanted to invite her to stay, but she couldn't make the decision and said so, so she had to turn to look at Senior Brother Yang next to her.
Tong Yan also glanced over there, and quickly pulled her back with his hand, saying, "Of course I'm going to find my fellow disciples. I'll leave now. See you next time."
After saying this, he left the place quickly without giving her too much time to react.
Tao Ying looked at her leaving figure and was speechless for a moment.
Senior Brother Yang said at this time: "She is a demon cultivator, so it is appropriate to leave. The senior brothers and sisters here may not necessarily welcome her to join."
Tao Ying looked up at the other brothers and sisters standing not far away. They seemed to be focusing on the place where the fight was taking place, but in fact, the occasional glances coming over showed that they were paying attention to what was going on here.
Tong Yan did not stay, and they were happy to see it come to fruition.
It was these few days of getting along that made her forget that Tong Yan was a demon cultivator.
The attitude of the entire world of cultivation toward demonic cultivators is too complicated, and even I am repulsive and wary of other demonic cultivators.
Just because she knew Tong Yan and she saved herself, she was confused about Tong Yan's identity as a demon cultivator.
If she stayed, she would definitely receive hostility from some people. Perhaps Tong Yan knew this and asked to leave early.
"Uncle Master is right."
…
After being alone again, Tong Yan didn't know where to go, so he took out the map and started looking at it. After a while, he set the target, put away the map and flew to the left.
The most important and profound thing in cultivating immortals is the word opportunity. She doesn't know how to find opportunities, and she can't wait for opportunities to come to her door. Then she will go to a place with beautiful mountains, water and beautiful scenery.
After driving for nearly a day, she stopped in front of a dense forest and took out the array of pills to equip herself.
Butterfly Valley, also known as the Phantom Butterfly Valley, has a dense forest at the entrance. Once you go deeper into it, the fiery red butterfly flowers bloom all over the valley and stretch endlessly.
The butterfly flower is a companion plant of the blue butterfly. The flowers are brightly colored and resemble flying butterflies. The vines under its feet are very aggressive when the blue butterfly is attacked.
The whole plant of the spirit plant can be used as medicine, and it is one of the materials used to make elixirs for cracking illusions such as Qingxin Dan and Xingshen Dan.
The Blue Fantasy Butterfly is a kind of low-level monster that can naturally create illusions. They are mostly first- and second-level monsters. Their bodies are transparent and bright blue, and they are very good at camouflage. If they do not appear voluntarily, it is difficult for monks to catch them with their naked eyes and spiritual consciousness.
Action traces.
However, blue fantasy butterflies do not only live in this valley, they can also be encountered occasionally in the outside world, mostly in groups of thirty or fifty to a hundred or so.
Butterfly Valley is the largest known colony of blue phantom butterflies.
Therefore, a large natural illusory array group has also been formed here. The monks in the valley generally rely on a large amount of Qingxin Pills and Awakening Pills to stabilize their minds and not be confused by the illusion.
The equipment that Tong Yan prepared when entering the valley were these refreshing pills and formation disks.
There are generally two reasons for coming to Butterfly Valley, one is the spiritual plants of objective value, and the other is the unique beauty here.
She was the one who took the lead, and of course, Ling Zhi also had to dig up some.
The Valley of Phantom Butterflies can be said to be an illusion one step at a time. If a monk is accidentally pulled into the illusion, if no one rescues him, he can only see through the illusion and come out. If not, then...
He might have to stay and be the flower fertilizer of the butterfly flower.
This is probably why the flowers are so red.
Tong Yan couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back when he thought that what he was stepping on might be the burial place of a certain monk.
"Please don't blame me for disturbing you. Please don't blame me."
After Tong Yan entered the dense forest, not long after, three more people appeared in the open space.
Looking at the entrance of the Fantasy Butterfly Valley, a monk in the middle stage of foundation building carefully asked the female Qi practitioner next to him, "Junior sister Shen, do we still want to follow in? The next step is the Fantasy Butterfly Valley, which is filled with many illusions.
We are not adequately prepared and it will be dangerous to go in."
Shen Xinwan glared at the two foundation-building monks beside her angrily, "Two middle-stage foundation-building monks can't catch up with a little girl in the Qi-training stage. What use do you think you have?"
Another Foundation Establishment cultivator guessed: "This female cultivator must have a high-level magic weapon to run so fast. Flying with our sword alone consumes too much spiritual power, so naturally... we can't catch up."
After all, the spiritual power stored in a monk's body is limited, and even if he takes pills, his recovery will be very slow. If he uses his spiritual power endlessly just to chase people, it is tantamount to seeking death in the secret realm.
These three people had followed Tong Yan halfway, but because Tong Yan had sufficient spiritual power and many speed-increasing talismans, they had been far behind.
Shen Xinwan didn't know what the foundation-building monk was talking about, so she just stared at the two of them coldly for a few times, then looked towards the Phantom Butterfly Valley.
"Prepare the elixirs, we will enter the Fantasy Butterfly Valley immediately." Even if she had many magic weapons to protect herself, it could not stop her from wanting to kill her.
"If you dare to meddle in my business, I will kill you."
The two foundation-building monks couldn't persuade her, so they had no choice but to prepare things to enter the Fantasy Butterfly Valley.
The phantom butterflies in the valley are gentle and will not actively attack people. The trouble is that there are countless illusions inside.
If you fall into an illusion, you can burn the Butterfly Flower next to it to release it. However, burning the Butterfly Flower will cause the Blue Fantasy Butterfly and other spiritual plants to become restless and actively attack people around you.
"After we go in, we don't necessarily have to do it ourselves. We can wait until the female cultivator falls into the illusion, then kill her, and burn her together with the surrounding phantom butterfly flowers. She won't even have a corpse if she has a companion spirit plant.
"The first foundation-building monk suggested.
"We were not prepared enough and went too deep, which put us at a disadvantage. After we deal with the people, we have to come out quickly to avoid being entangled by other spiritual plants." Another shorter foundation-building monk said.
Shen Xinwan naturally knew the dangers of the Fantasy Butterfly Valley, "Okay, you should pay attention to her movements after entering."
On Tong Yan's side, she was stunned by the spreading red flowers after entering the valley, and she didn't even notice that she was stepping on human bones.
There are occasionally a few blue butterflies flying above the sea of red flowers, and the afterglow of the setting mountains shines into the valley. It is not an exaggeration to say that this beautiful scenery is a fairyland on earth. After Tong Yan regained his senses, he quickly took out the photo stone to record this rare scene.
The picture stone is similar to a modern video camera. It can record or play back pictures as long as it activates spiritual power. However, one stone can only store about a quarter of an hour of pictures, and it is relatively expensive. She is only willing to buy one as a petty bourgeoisie.
She put another calming pill into her mouth, held the photo stone in her left hand and walked deeper. I don't know if she saw it wrong, but she seemed to see someone standing in front of her.
Look at the back of Chuchen, who looks like he is about to fly away in the wind, and look at his monk's robes and bald head, could he be an eminent monk from somewhere???
"Am I so well-prepared that I still fell into a trap? Otherwise, how could I have seen the young master Ji Xing here?" Tong Yan quickly checked the Qingxin array hanging on his waist and stuffed a few more pills into his mouth.
She puffed up her cheeks and wondered when she had entered the illusion, while thinking about how to break the illusion.
The person in front turned around and was slightly surprised to see that it was Tong Yan, "Donor Tong, long time no see."
The exact same face and temperament made her unsure whether this person was real, so she greeted hesitantly: "Long time no see, little master Ji Xing."
After a pause, he spoke again: "Little Master, are you a real person or a dummy created by an illusion?"
After asking, I realized that I was stupid. Have you ever seen a person in an illusion who said he was a fake?
Ji Xing was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said: "The poor monk is of course real, not an illusion."
"I am also real, not an illusion." Tong Yan nodded and said.
"Little master, why are you here?"
"I heard that the Fantasy Butterfly Valley is one of Yanhui's secret realms, so I came here to have a look." Seeing what she was holding in her hand, she added, "What you are holding is a shadow stone? The method of Tong Donor is quite good."
"It's just so-so. I think it's good, but the image stone is a bit expensive." Looking back on the two hundred spiritual stones I paid for at that time, I still feel a bit of pain.
Ji Xing turned his head and looked at Yuhui, and said to her: "Would you be interested in recording the night scene in the valley with a photographic stone? The poor monk is willing to lead the way."
Tong Yan was not sure yet that this was a real person, but he still nodded and walked over to walk with him.
"Did the donor join a suitable sect? After half a year of absence, the donor's cultivation has become more stable."
The light got darker and darker as we walked inside. When Tong Yan heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Ji Xing. He was too tall and she couldn't even reach his chest. Her ordinary and indifferent face was hindered by her height and the light.
I really can't see clearly.
"I... was lucky. The Yuanying monk that day was an elder of the Mosha Sect. Seeing that I was good at swordsmanship, he took me into the sect."
To be honest, Ji Xing and her just met by chance. Thanks to his protection during that half month, I was able to settle down safely in the world of cultivation.
And the person who captured her that day was a Nascent Soul monk, and Ji Xing was only in the foundation-building stage at most. At that time, it was impossible for him to save her, no matter whether he wanted to save her or not.
Once I figured it out, even the slightest bit of loss in my heart disappeared.
"Amitabha, if nothing happens, it will be fine. This may be your opportunity to be the donor."
"...Little master, don't you think there's anything wrong with me practicing the magic way?" Tong Yan asked cautiously.
Ji Xing smiled and said: "There is no difference between cultivating demons and cultivating immortals. The difference lies in how you use the power you have."
She also laughed: "Young master is right, I am lucky to be able to join the Demon Temple Sect and start practicing cultivation. This way I don't have to shamelessly pester you to take me to a Buddhist temple, shave my head and become a woman." Nice."
"The apprenticeship of the poor monk does not accept female disciples." Ji Xing looked at her and said slowly.
"...Oh." I felt inexplicably disgusted.
If you don't accept it, don't accept it.
The three people following from a distance saw Tong Yan forming a team with others and asked in a low voice: "Junior sister Shen, she is cultivating with a Foundation-Building Buddha. What should I do next? I can't see that person's specific cultivation level." , he must be in the late stage of foundation building."
The short monk said: "And our elixirs and arrays can last for another half hour at most. I think they are well prepared. I'm afraid they won't be able to wait until the female cultivator enters the illusion."
"Junior sister Shen, if we can't kill this time, it won't be too late to wait until the next time. Our purpose this time is to test the secret realm, and we can't waste too much time on other things." It had been almost ten days since they entered the secret realm, but I have never looked for treasures and opportunities.
He was irritated and dissatisfied but did not dare to say more. They were Shen Qianshan's disciples. In order for them to protect Shen Xinwan wholeheartedly, Shen Qianshan promised them many benefits.
