Shuang Qingqing did not fly alone this time, but stood on it as well.
She was very satisfied with Li Yan's ability to control the "Cloud-piercing Willow" in this way, which did not disgrace her magic weapon.
Just as they approached the edge of the Giant Tree Clan's territory, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Friend Zhang, what are you doing..."
The Cloud-piercing Willow quickly changed from a shadowy state to a solid state, and Li Yan's voice also came over.
"Fellow Daoist Ting, it's really abrupt for me to turn back so soon. But I have something else to trouble you with. I wonder if the noble ancestor is among the clan?"
"My ancestor, huh?..."
Ting Bixiao's expression changed and his thoughts raced. He didn't expect that Li Yan came back so soon just to see his ancestor.
There was no longer any favor involved between them. With Li Yan's cultivation level, it seemed a little inappropriate to ask for a meeting so directly. There was something he could not handle.
At this moment, he also saw clearly that there were three people standing on the Piercing Cloud Willow, not the two people he had imagined, and he did not recognize the person standing in the front.
She was a charming woman in a green gauze with a black veil on her face. Her eyes were charming and seductive.
Ting Bixiao only took one look and felt a raging fire rising in his body. He was shocked and quickly forced his eyes away.
Even though his face was flushed, his heart was still beating violently.
Shuang Qingqing was not targeting him intentionally, otherwise even ten or a hundred Ting Bixiaos would have fallen into her trap.
After Ting Bixiao sensed Li Yan coming in the hall, he had been paying attention to the other party, but his spiritual consciousness did not detect the existence of a third person on the flying magic weapon from beginning to end.
Even now, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, that place would still be empty in his consciousness.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Ting, don't panic. This is one of my elders. He has something he wants to discuss with the noble ancestor!"
Li Yan smiled and explained briefly.
"Zhang Daoyou's elders, I don't know..."
Ting Bixiao was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that a Nascent Soul cultivator would suddenly appear in the clan. It was rare for Nascent Soul cultivators in Qingqing Continent to go out.
As for the other party's specific realm, he had no way of sensing it.
However, judging from the norm in the Qingqing Continent's immortal cultivation world, the other party should be a Nascent Soul cultivator. As for the probability of a Divine Transformation cultivator appearing, it can be simply ignored.
While he was surprised, he was also thinking quickly in his mind what Li Yan's purpose was. What did Zhang Ming want to do by suddenly bringing a Yuanying cultivator here for no reason?
"The power behind Zhang Ming is indeed not small. After a tour outside, a Yuanying cultivator accompanied him. I don't know which sect this old monster belongs to..."
Just as he was thinking, a deep voice sounded in Ting Bixiao's heart.
"Bring these fellow Taoists over here!"
Ting Bixiao's heart was shocked.
At the same time, he clearly saw from the corner of his eye that the woman in green gauze immediately turned her head and looked in one direction, and that direction was exactly the place where his ancestor lived and practiced all year round.
"Did she sense it? The ancestor is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!
If the ancestor conceals his aura, people of the same realm may not be able to sense it. Could this woman in green gauze also be a powerful person in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?"
He knew that there were differences in strength among cultivators at the same level, especially some cultivators who relied on elixirs to build up their strength.
Although there are cultivators of this realm, their foundations are very weak and they can often only suppress cultivators of a lower realm than themselves, and their combat effectiveness is low among cultivators of the same level.
He was thinking in his heart, but he had already bowed to Shuang Qingqing from a distance.
"Greetings to this senior, please follow me!"
Li Yan kept looking at him with a smile, and he did not continue to explain for Ting Bixiao.
At this time, some figures appeared in the distant void. They were the patrolling guards of the Giant Tree Clan. When they saw the situation here, they wanted to fly over, but were immediately shouted back by Ting Bixiao in secret.
Ting Bixiao led the way, and no one stopped them along the way.
He led the three of them to fly deep into the Giant Tree Clan. After flying for about half a cup of tea, they landed in a forest.
Li Yan and Zhao Min looked at each other. They both realized that this place was not too far from where they entered the "Wood Spirit Pool" last time.
What does this prove? It proves that the Giant Tree Clan's "Wood Spirit Pool" is indeed guarded by a strong man, and he is not as lax as it seems.
After the four of them landed, they looked at a towering tree in front of them that required six or seven people to hug together. Ting Bixiao bowed to the giant tree.
Although he did not speak, the giant tree suddenly became blurry, and then Li Yan found that all the space around it was distorted.
The big trees and plants became twisted and crooked in an instant, and even the ground beneath his feet became unreal. Li Yan even felt that his feet seemed no longer on his body.
The other figures beside him were even more blurry. Li Yan was horrified and the spiritual power in his body was about to gush out in an instant.
At this moment, Shuang Qingqing's voice came into his and Zhao Min's minds.
"Don't panic, it's just the restriction of the formation, there is no intention of attacking!"
As Shuang Qingqing's voice came down, Li Yan and Zhao Min felt relieved. Sure enough, the next moment, everything in front of Li Yan's eyes changed.
A valley with green mountains and clear water appeared before them, and bursts of rich wood-attributed spiritual energy blew towards them.
These spiritual energies are like spirits, rushing directly into the body without breathing, making people's mouths and noses overflow with fragrance, and the body feels light and airy. Li Yan felt it, although it was not as rich as the independent space where the "wood spirit pool" was stored, it was also an extremely excellent place for cultivation.
"Bixiao, you go back first, I will take care of these guests!"
A deep voice came from the valley.
Li Yan and Zhao Min turned around and saw Shuang Qingqing was the only one beside them. She was also looking at the green valley ahead with her beautiful eyes, while Ting Bixiao's figure had already disappeared.
But they heard Ting Bixiao's voice.
"As you command, Old Ancestor! I will take my leave of this senior and the two Taoist friends!"
Then, everything fell silent.
Li Yan and the other two were standing at the entrance of a valley that was lush and green. A winding stone path extended from under their feet into the valley. The valley was filled with fragrance that drifted in with the wind.
What Li Yan saw were no longer tall trees and low grass, but fields full of flowers of various colors.
"Seven-star grass, orchid tree, Huer fruit, sunset lotus..."
What Li Yan saw were patches of vibrant medicinal fields. There were many rare herbs rarely seen in the outside world, and even some highly poisonous ones. Li Yan could only recognize some of them.
"This fellow Taoist is really a man of great skill and courage. He casually entered the cultivation place of a cultivator of the same level whom he had never met before. Haha, fellow Taoist, please come over!!"
The deep voice came again, and Shuang Qingqing had a smile in her beautiful eyes.
"Little guys, I'll take you for a walk. If you really follow this stone path, you probably won't be able to walk more than ten feet in your lifetime, and you might even be killed by some of the highly poisonous creatures!"
As Shuang Qingqing spoke, a translucent gauze fluttered up, bringing with it an alluring fragrance that enveloped Li Yan and Zhao Min.
Li Yan and the other person only felt a piece of green gauze appear in front of their eyes, and then before they could react, their bodies had already risen from the ground.
And in the next moment, his feet stepped on solid ground, the green gauze in front of his eyes disappeared, and the scenery changed again.
All this made Li Yan and the other man feel as if they had just flown, but it seemed as if they had not moved at all. They just felt that their feet fell down again as soon as they left the ground.
Although Shuang Qingqing had inquired about Li Yan's news, she didn't know much about Zhili's poisonous body. With Bai Rou's personality, she would not take the initiative to talk about Li Yan's affairs.
Hence the warning just now.
However, the dismembered poisonous body is not invincible. Li Yan does not think that Shuang Qingqing is wrong. Of course, there is a chance that he will be poisoned to death.
A thatched hut appeared in front of Li Yan. He looked around and found that it was only about three miles away from here to the entrance of the valley.
Looking back at the valley entrance from his position, he saw a stone path that passed through the medicinal fields and then led to the door of the thatched cottage.
But when they stood at the entrance of the valley just now, Li Yan did not notice the existence of this hut at all, and all he saw were patches of medicinal fields.
The hut does not seem to occupy a very large area. The roof is covered with a thick layer of thatch, which is either black or yellow-gray. The thatch presses down heavily and "hooks" downwards to form a circle of eaves made of weeds.
A lot of tender green new grass had grown on the thatched roof. They grew one by one or in clusters into the sky, bringing some vitality to the sight.
"Fellow Daoist and these two young friends, please come in and talk first!"
When that deep voice sounded again, the simple wooden door creaked and opened immediately. The sound of the wooden door turning gave people the feeling of old wood.
Li Yan and Zhao Min looked quickly and saw a tall middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the middle of the thatched cottage.
The man had a dignified appearance, with black hair casually tied behind his back and a loose light yellow robe spread on the ground. He was looking at the three people outside the door with a gentle expression.
Seeing this scene, Li Yan's eyes flashed. The thatched hut was not as big as it looked on the surface. Even if he saw the thatched hut, it was still covered by the formation.
When the door opened, he saw a spacious hut with only a wooden frame against the wall.
It was filled with jade slips emitting various colors of light, as well as some ancient books made from the fur of monsters.
The floor inside the hut was not even paved with bricks or stones. It should have been the original mud and stone floor, but the floor was swept very neatly.
In addition to the middle-aged man in the yellow robe who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, there were several empty cushions in front of him, and there was a coffee table in front of each cushion.
"I hope you don't mind. My place is very simple. I can only offer a few cups of tea to entertain the guests."
"You are truly a hard-working person, worthy of admiration!"
While Shuang Qingqing was speaking, she walked in with light lotus steps. When the middle-aged man in the yellow robe saw this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Just as he had said before, this woman was truly skilled and courageous. She was not afraid at all of the traps he had set for her. This was her territory.
At this moment, both parties have seen each other's cultivation level. They are both in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Their realms are similar, but the middle-aged man in the yellow robe has been immersed in this realm for a longer time, more than three hundred years.
Shuang Qingqing's personality is different from her delicate appearance. She has always been extremely bold.
Her "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix" finally obtained a "Purple Crystal Beast" demon core from Gu Jiuqi.
This demon core is much higher in grade than the one she originally used to refine the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix", which makes the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix" more powerful than before, doubling its power.
If it weren't for the fact that the late Nascent Soul cultivator had already gained some understanding of the rules of heaven and earth and had unpredictable methods, Shuang Qingqing would have been confident that she could fight him head-on.
This is her real trump card, so when facing a cultivator of the same level as herself, Shuang Qingqing has full confidence that she can retreat unscathed, and at the same time successfully take Li Yan and Zhao Min away.
