Even when Li Yuyin was in the foundation-building and golden elixir stages, she was well-known. Many sects and cultivators knew a lot about her past.
However, what Li Yuyin knew most about herself was her scandalous reputation, so these people didn't dare to discuss the rumors here. For a while, most of them were talking about that "Senior Li".
Of course, not everyone in the hall was discussing the two Nascent Soul cultivators. Some people just sat there quietly, closing their eyes and waiting for the transaction to begin.
Some people have privately inquired whether there are any treasures they need.
There were five people gathered in a place, one of them was looking at a young man in purple robe opposite.
"Wuding, what excellent elixir did you bring with you this time? We don't necessarily have to wait until the transaction begins. You can tell us your conditions now, and maybe we can trade first!"
Hu Chen Wuding, dressed in a purple robe, smiled. The people opposite him were all children of high status in their families or sects.
At the beginning, they were all protected by their families and sects, and none of them participated in the war against the demons. Li Yan was not well-known, and no one knew Li Yan except him.
So when others were talking about Li Yan, they gathered together and talked about other things.
Among these people, except Hu Chen Wuding who has already taken charge of the Hu Chen family, the others all came here with their respective family heads, so they can be considered to have come here to see the world.
Those family heads were all old-line Jindan masters, and they didn't want to get involved with Hu Chen Wuding and the others, so they let these disciples do what they wanted.
These disciples were also surprised to see Hu Chen Wuding in the Wuliang Sect, because Hu Chen Wuding had a lot of good elixirs on him.
They were not very familiar with Li Yan, and they knew that this young man, who had just become the patriarch of the Hu Chen family in recent years, had not participated in the war with the demons.
I had heard before that his experience was quite miserable and he had been displaced all the time, so I never thought about how Hu Chen Wuding could be familiar with Li Yan and thought he was the same as me and others.
Hu Chen Wuding was also listening to the discussions around him, and some of the news was the first time he heard it.
"I really didn't know that the benefactor had so many heroic deeds. I just don't know how much of them are true or false?"
While he was thinking in his mind, he occasionally responded to the people around him verbally.
When he felt someone's eyes on him again, a slight smile appeared on his face.
"This time, there are actually a few bottles of pills that were recently refined..."
And at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Hu Chen is here too. Can you come over and talk to me? You can come here..."
Hu Chen Wuding's expression froze at the sudden voice, and the change in his expression was seen by the others.
"What's wrong, Brother Hu Chen?"
Hu Chen Wuding had reacted by now, his face regained its composure, but his heart was surging like violent waves.
That familiar voice, combined with where he was now, made him know who the other person was.
"I didn't expect that he still remembered me. I originally thought that I could just congratulate him from afar!"
Hu Chen Wuding was thinking in his heart when he stood up.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered something that I need to deal with immediately. I will come back later to trade with you fellow Taoists!"
After saying that, Hu Chen Wuding walked straight out without caring about the other people's reactions, leaving a few people looking at each other in confusion.
On a remote mountain in the Wuliang Sect, Li Yan was standing on the top of the mountain, watching the clouds floating in from afar and then disappearing from under his feet...
This is the middle point between Xiaozhu Peak and Laojun Peak.
However, due to the deviation from the main route and the small number of disciples in Xiaozhu Peak, there are not many disciples from the sect traveling between the two peaks on a daily basis.
The largest number of people were actually disciples from other peaks who went to Xiaozhu Peak to take on missions. However, in the past two days, the disciples from each peak were busy with the Infant Formation Ceremony, and the number of disciples doing missions became scarce.
As a result, fewer disciples pass by the mountain where Li Yan is currently.
The only reason he chose this place was because he didn't want to appear at Laojun Peak where there were many monks.
But if outsiders were allowed to go to Xiaozhu Peak, they would also have to be checked by the senior brothers. Li Yan felt that it would be more convenient for him to go out by himself.
This has always been his character. As long as he does things without attracting other people's attention, that's the best.
Li Yan, who had been looking at the floating clouds, suddenly showed a smile. After a dozen breaths, a faint purple light flashed from the horizon.
Soon, a circling purple light landed on the top of the mountain, about ten feet away from Li Yan. The light faded, revealing the figure of Hu Chen Wuding.
As soon as he saw Li Yan's back, a slight hesitation appeared on his face, because the man's back looked somewhat familiar, but he had short hair like fine steel, and the whole person gave him a different feeling.
The man's aura was no different from that of an ordinary person. When Hu Chen's Wuding spiritual sense swept over him, he could not be sure whether the other person was the one he was looking for.
While he was hesitating, the person standing on the edge of the cliff slowly turned around. He was an ordinary-looking young man with dark skin and a pair of clear black and white eyes.
After seeing the other person's face clearly, Hu Chen Wuding's face immediately showed joy. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Hello, eh... Oh, Wu Ding has met Senior Li!!"
Li Yan also had a smile on his face. Without seeing him make any movement, Hu Chen Wuding felt a gentle force lifting up his body which was kneeling down.
"Fellow Daoist Wu Ding, there is no need to be so polite. It has been over a hundred years since we last met. Fellow Daoist has already entered the middle stage of the Golden Core. It seems that he is like a fish in water in the clan!"
Li Yan spoke softly.
After Hu Chen Wuding's body was lifted up, when he looked at Li Yan again, his eyes were full of joy.
This time, the Wuliang Sect invited the four major sects and all the major factions under its jurisdiction. His Hu Chen family originally belonged to the Wuliang Sect.
Moreover, this family once had a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, and was also a famous alchemy family, so naturally they received an invitation from the Wuliang Sect.
But now the Hu Chen family, the Nascent Soul ancestor had already gone on a long journey, so when Hu Chen Wuding came here, they were already mentally prepared.
Li Yan is no longer the low-level cultivator like himself. He is a high-ranking Yuanying senior who may not care about the people he met before. Therefore, when he came, he had already thought about it. As a vassal sect, he would send the gift and just look at the person who helped him re-enter the family from a distance.
But he never expected that the other party would come to him alone before the Infant Formation Ceremony, which made him feel both surprised and delighted.
As he was coming here just now, he had been thinking about how to be neither humble nor arrogant after meeting each other, but as soon as Li Yan in front of him opened his mouth, he immediately overlapped with the person from before.
"Senior, I am able to have my current cultivation and everything I have because of your help. I would like to congratulate you on your Nascent Soul achievement and further advancement in the path to immortality!!"
"Ah... there's no need to say these words. It's the fate of immortal cultivators like us to meet old friends again after a hundred years.
By the way, I didn’t detect any presence of Patriarch Hu Chen, could it be that he is still in seclusion now?”
Li Yan waved his hand, but did not correct Hu Chen Wuding's address. Hu Chen Wuding was not his fellow disciple. If he really asked the other party to call him fellow Taoist or something like that, Hu Chen Wuding would probably feel even more uneasy.
When he scanned the sect with his spiritual sense before, he found that there were several more Nascent Soul auras in the sect, but these people were all unfamiliar to him.
Only the aura revealed by one of them is quite special, it is a majestic force that is extremely masculine and strong.
Li Yan did not investigate further, for fear that the other party would find out and he would have to go over to socialize.
Li Yan guessed that the Nascent Soul was cultivating the magical powers of Buddhism, and it might be that a high monk from the Pure Land Sect had arrived here in advance.
He also knew that before the final battle at Yinmo Cliff, Patriarch Hu Chen was seriously injured in the rebellion of the South China Sea monks.
Later, Master Liao Yuan of the Pure Land Sect created a huge sky curtain, and Li Yan and others saw the list of dead and seriously injured monks.
Therefore, Patriarch Hu Chen will not participate in the final battle at all. As long as his Nascent Soul is safe, he will survive.
"It's not that my ancestor didn't come to attend the senior's infant-forming ceremony, but he left the family many years ago, and no one knows where he went. Now the family is in the hands of the younger generation! !"
Hu Chen Wuding answered respectfully.
"Hehehe... Oh, now that I think about it, I should also congratulate you, fellow Taoist!"
Li Yan smiled slightly.
"Everything is thanks to the grace of the predecessors..."
"Okay, you don't have to be so reserved. Let's just treat this as a reunion between old friends. It was you who helped me get the 'Xuan Ming Order'! Hehehe..."
"Senior, you are too kind. It was actually just a deal, but the favor you gave me was much greater!"
Li Yan didn't want to continue being polite here, so he immediately changed the subject.
"By the way, do you know Zhuo Lingfeng's current situation? I haven't seen him since we parted ways!"
"Oh, Uncle Sang?"
When Hu Chen Wuding heard Li Yan asking about Zhuo Lingfeng, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, but he immediately answered Li Yan.
"After Uncle Sang and Senior left the Hu Chen Family, they never contacted me again. Even though I am now the head of the Hu Chen Family, I have sent people to inquire around, but there is no news about him..."
Li Yan nodded. As for the trip to the Hu Chen family, the person who impressed him the most was Zhuo Lingfeng.
This man can be called a great man of the world, who values friendship and loyalty. For the sake of protecting and fulfilling his promise, he even gave up his own cultivation resources and cultivated Hu Chen Wuding all the way.
This kind of mentality is extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivation.
It's a pity that after the success, he had no place to stand. It was extremely difficult for Patriarch Hu Chen to take Li Yan's status into consideration and not kill him.
"I think, in order not to arouse the suspicion of Patriarch Hu Chen, he must have already fled far away by then!!
Now more than a hundred years have passed in a hurry. If he had not succeeded in forming the elixir, he would have turned into a handful of yellow earth long ago!"
Li Yan sighed in his heart, and Hu Chen Wuding fell into silence for a while. Zhuo Lingfeng's feelings for him were like that of a calf, and he was both a father and a teacher.
But even though he found the secret place where his mother was buried, he did not find the "Uncle Sang" in his heart and lost the opportunity to repay his gratitude.
Next, Li Yan and Hu Chen Wuding talked about poisonous substances, poisonous herbs and alchemy. When talking about these things, the two of them became really interested.
Not only did Hu Chen Wuding hear about many poisonous spiritual plants that he had never heard of before, but he also roughly guessed that the rumors outside might be true.
What Li Yan was talking about should be the spiritual plants that can only be found in other exotic continents.
Li Yan also received a lot of inspiration from Hu Chen Wuding on alchemy and poison cultivation. After all, the "Ghost Den Poison Scroll" is one of the best poison cultivation techniques in the Wild Moon Continent.
It itself has many unique features, and Hu Chen Wuding has already cultivated it to the sixth level, so every word and sentence is clear.
The two of them talked for a full hour at the top of the mountain.
"Fellow Daoist Hu Chen, there will surely be many guests tomorrow, so I won't be able to chat with you freely. That's why I invited you here alone today to reminisce about the past!"
Hu Chen Wuding immediately took a few steps back and bowed respectfully again.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. I will take my leave now!"
He naturally heard the intention of sending the guest away in Li Yan's words, and he also gained a lot today and needed to integrate and think about it immediately.
Li Yan not only talked about some strange poisons that had never been heard of in the Wild Moon Continent, but also mentioned some things about martial arts in his words, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
Although he made a few mistakes occasionally, it made Hu Chen Wuding feel like the clouds had been cleared and the sun had been shining, and he was very happy.
He knew that Li Yan must have seen the problems in his cultivation, and these words were undoubtedly a hint to him.
Of course, he felt like he had found a treasure, and he had to go back and study it carefully to avoid missing the opportunity.
In response to Hu Chen Wuding's farewell, Li Yan smiled and said nothing more. Hu Chen Wuding turned around and flew in the direction he came from.
