Gong Chenying shifted her gaze away from the exquisite jade bottle and stared into Li Yan's eyes seriously.
"Although I don't know where these drops of blood essence come from, if you can get five or six more drops, I will accept these two drops of blood essence!"
"Sister, I am already in the Nascent Soul stage now, but for you, this item can indeed further refine your body and improve your cultivation, laying a better foundation for forming a Nascent Soul later!"
Li Yan immediately started to explain.
After hearing his explanation, Gong Chenying immediately smiled.
"Since Junior Brother has said so, what use is this thing to me? I have already cultivated to the fifth level of 'Qiongqi Purgatory Technique', and my physical body has long been equal to that of the Nascent Soul Stage. What I lack is not the physical strength, but the balanced body cultivation and the improvement of my state of mind!"
After hearing what Gong Chenying said, Li Yan's expression froze and he couldn't help but reach out and touch his nose.
"Senior sister is not easy to deceive!"
"That's it. When I really need this thing, I'll naturally ask for it! Junior brother, you'd better find an opportunity to refine it. Your strength increase now will be of great help to you in implementing your plan later!"
As Gong Chenying spoke, his body slowly flew to the side. Li Yan stood there, looking at Gong Chenying's disappearing back. He just stared at the front quietly...
In the middle of the night, a black shadow flashed out from Li Yan's pavilion, and then merged into the vast night. When Li Yan flew out of the Tianli tribe's protective formation, several spiritual senses swept over him.
After seeing clearly that it was Li Yan, several of them immediately dispersed, but the old voice of the great elder appeared in Li Yan's mind.
"If you encounter any problems outside, you can just bring out our clan's identity as 'King Qing'. Our clan is not a small sect in the Wind God Continent, and we can still intimidate some small-time villains."
Li Yan paused for a moment and replied via voice transmission.
"Thank you, Great Elder!"
What the Great Elder said was of course the truth. Although the Li tribe is in danger today, this is a situation where they are facing wind beasts from three or even four tribes.
If it were some other sects, they might only be able to barely hold on when facing a tribe of wind beasts.
The Tianli tribe has been a nation of soldiers since ancient times. Even the elderly in the tribe have terrifying fighting power.
Just after Li Yan replied, the Third Elder's voice, like the sound of a spring, suddenly rang in Li Yan's mind.
"Friend Li, don't be gone too long, Ah Ying is still waiting for you, ha ha ha..."
Li Yan did not reply this time, he just bowed slightly in a certain direction. The other several spiritual consciousnesses had already collapsed, including Hong Yin, who did not speak again.
Li Yan smiled slightly, then turned his head slightly to look in one direction, and then the black figure blended into the night.
The "Ebb Tide" and "Stealth at Night" in his body were running at the same time. In an instant, Li Yan completely disappeared from this world. At this time, even if the Great Elder extended his spiritual sense again, he could not detect Li Yan's existence.
After concealing his breath, Li Yan flew towards the south. He did not want Yan San and the others to know that he was leaving, so he concealed his whereabouts to avoid being killed by them halfway.
Li Yan did not bring the two monsters with him on this trip, but left them in the Tianli tribe. He also left a large number of the Snow Mosquito tribe. He asked the two monsters to protect Gong Chenying at ordinary times, and to obey Gong Chenying's arrangements if anything happened.
Gong Chenying also liked the two demons quite a lot, mainly because they were very good at reading people's expressions and calling her "Mistress Ying" all the time.
Although Gong Chenying appeared extremely cold and elegant on the outside, she was actually very happy in her heart. There was no one in this world who did not like to hear praise and flattery, especially what the title of "Shadow Mistress" represented.
In a certain direction that Li Yan was looking at when he was leaving, a slender figure was quietly floating under the stars, like a solitary peak covered with stars.
"Junior brother, if what you said could really come true, it would be great, the people of the tribe could live and work in peace, and the monks could practice in peace..."
… …
Seventeen thousand miles south of the Tianli tribe, although there are also continuous mountains here, the terrain has become much gentler. There are no longer dangerous peaks and cliffs. The undulating mountains are covered with green peaks and seem to be much rounder.
If someone looks down from the air among these mountains, they will find endless red walls and palaces hidden among them.
It was a grand temple stretching for thousands of miles, with solemn and majestic pagodas and palaces with red walls and golden roofs scattered around. The overhanging eaves would reveal large patches of golden light or just the tip of an iceberg as they wound around the peaks.
This is the famous "Shamen Temple" in Fengshen Continent, the world's top Buddhist sect!
At dusk that day, a faint green dot flew in from the northern sky. In the faint green light, Li Yan, who had stopped practicing, stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the "Cloud-Piercing Willow" and looking ahead.
Along the way, he kept practicing whenever he had time. What he was going to do next would require even greater strength, so he had to seize every opportunity to practice.
However, he did not refine any of the two drops of "Immortal Dark Phoenix" blood essence, and he still wanted to leave them for Gong Chenying to use.
Li Yan has not discussed the future with Gong Chenying in detail, and of course he is not sure whether she will return to the Wild Moon Continent with him. Given Gong Chenying's personality, it is too hard to say, so Li Yan must make sure that she has the ability to protect herself.
The journey of nearly 200,000 miles was quite smooth for Li Yanxing.
Except for encountering a few waves of wind beasts, which he killed easily, with Li Yan's current strength, as long as he did not deliberately provoke those giant sects, he could come and go freely in this world.
If those middle and low-level cultivators want to provoke him, they must first be able to find him, or catch up with him when Li Yan shows his trace.
Of course, Li Yan would not be so bored as to bully the weak for no reason. He deliberately showed his strength. With his powerful spiritual sense, he basically avoided other people early on.
If the wind beast territory wasn't too large, he would have wanted to go around it, but doing so would probably take several times longer.
In Li Yan's field of vision, a wide square quickly expanded in front of him. The square was at least fifty miles in size. The ground was not paved with huge stones, but a whole piece of huge and boundless stone with a yellow glow.
The whole square gives people the feeling of a wide yellow mirror with gold-plated water flowing through it.
After Li Yan landed in the square, his face could be reflected on the ground beneath his feet. He walked forward without feeling any slipping. On the contrary, there seemed to be a lot of resistance on the soles of his shoes, but it did not affect his normal walking.
In front of Li Yan was a magnificent golden hall. The hall was so majestic that anyone standing in the square would need to look up. They would unconsciously feel that they were like an ant in the square in front of the hall.
It seemed as if the golden palace in front was floating high above my head, able to suppress everything in the world, including my own tiny and humble life, and a sense of awe arose spontaneously.
Of course, all this does not exist for Li Yan. He knows that this is the so-called deterrent power of the sect.
It not only contains the suppression of the formation, but also, when it is built, it is based on the power of the nearby heaven and earth, so that the house or statue will always have a great power. Especially for the Buddhist and Taoist sects, it even contains some power of incense and faith, which makes people feel like they want to worship.
In the middle of the golden hall are three large gilded characters - "Shamen Temple"!
Looking from Li Yan's direction, this hall seemed to be the only existence in the world. It stood tall and blocked all the long pavilions and walls behind it. It was the only one.
At this moment, there would be lights flying up or down in the square from time to time. After Li Yan landed, only a few people nearby looked at him, and then flew away with a slightly changed expression.
Although Li Yan did not reveal the aura of Nascent Soul at this moment, there was a Jindan with three Foundation Establishment disciples nearby. They immediately scanned over with their spiritual sense, but no one could see Li Yan's cultivation level at all.
After Li Yan took a glance at the Jindan, he felt as if all the secrets in his body were seen through by the other party.
In this case, the man was about to come over to ask, but after a moment of hesitation, he looked up at the hall above, and immediately flew away with his men.
Li Yan noticed that when these people used their magic powers, they all used extremely strong and masculine techniques, with a touch of Buddhism.
"They should be the lay disciples in Shamen Temple, but not the patrol team!"
Zhuo Lingfeng told him that nowadays, there are not many true monks, even in big Buddhist sects like Shamen Temple, and the majority of them are still lay disciples.
The place where Li Yan landed was only a thousand feet away from the main hall, and not far away were the stairs leading upwards.
Li Yan climbed up the stairs as if no one was around, his steps unhurried. There were also many monks on the stairs.
It’s just that the steps are too wide, and perhaps intentionally, the distance between people is quite far, as if they don’t want to say hello to others.
Li Yan even saw several mortals dressed in gorgeous clothes. Each of these people had an extraordinary demeanor. Although their steps were unsteady when they walked, they were still quite imposing.
Li Yan originally left from here and went to the Tianli tribe. At that time, he also heard some of the conversations of those mortals through his spiritual consciousness.
So he roughly knew the origins of these people. They should all be dignitaries from the mortal kingdom. In the Fengshen Continent, many mortals knew about the existence of immortals.
Therefore, there are many devout believers in the countries under the jurisdiction of Shamen Temple.
It may be difficult for ordinary mortals to come here to worship, but those officials or merchants with prominent status can hire monsters to help them get here easily.
Although some people looked over here, Li Yan ignored them. It seemed as if there was a cloud supporting him as he slowly moved upwards step by step.
Soon, Li Yan arrived in front of the main hall. There was a square table at the door, which was also covered with golden cloth. On the table were a few long incense sticks, red candles, and a piece of writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Behind the square table sat a monk in his thirties, with a plain face and a medium build. But he did not ask anyone who came and went, he just sat behind the table, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes in meditation.
This situation had been seen before when Li Yan teleported here last time, but last time he simply walked down the stairs and flew away.
This time, after entering the hall, Li Yan went straight to the desk.
When Li Yan walked over, he deliberately increased the weight of his steps. When he was still several feet away from the table, the monk behind the table had already opened his eyes.
But he just looked at Li Yan quietly, and at the same time a ray of spiritual consciousness quietly swept towards Li Yan. The next moment, a gleam of light flashed in the monk's eyes, and he could not sense at all what level of cultivation Li Yan was at.
After a brief hesitation, he stood up, clasped his palms together, and bowed slightly to Li Yan.
"Amitabha, may I ask this donor, what can I do for you?"
He is a monk who welcomes guests. Although there are people who come to see him on a daily basis, they are not many. He spends most of the day in meditation.
Most people who can reach here are familiar with the rules of the temple and basically don’t need to ask about the rules of the temple.
The monk in charge of reception could not sense Li Yan's realm, but he did not think that Li Yan's real cultivation was higher than his. There were too many magical weapons in the world that could conceal the skills, especially for Nascent Soul cultivators, it would not appear so easily.
Li Yan smiled slightly in his heart. He was not hiding his cultivation at this moment. It was just that the other party's cultivation was too shallow and he could not sense it. However, this person was the one with the highest cultivation in the hall, at the middle stage of the Golden Core. Of course, he could only come to find him.
Li Yan smiled, and released his Qi slightly towards the monk, then retracted it, while whispering.
"Thank you, Master. I'm looking for Zen Master Xuji. Please inform him that our old friend named Li is here to visit us!"
This time, Li Yan followed Zhuo Lingfeng's instructions. After calculating the time, he found that the other party was no longer on duty in the market, so he came directly to the temple to look for him.
The monk suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe. Just as he was shocked, the pressure suddenly disappeared. Some people around him didn't even notice the strong pressure coming...
In a Zen room, Zhuo Lingfeng and Li Yan sat opposite each other.
"I am sorry for disturbing the master's meditation by visiting me!"
Li Yan also clasped his hands together.
"Amitabha, there is no need for you to be so polite to me, Fellow Daoist Li. I heard that the Tianli tribe has stopped the continuous attacks of wind beasts in recent months. This is really cause for celebration. I would like to congratulate you, Fellow Daoist!"
Zhuo Lingfeng chanted a Buddhist name with a smile on his face. They had already received some news about the Tianli tribe and also found out about the situation of the wind beasts there, but they were unexpectedly blocked by a poisonous defense line.
Others may still be wondering when the Tianli tribe became so powerful, but Zhuo Lingfeng guessed the reason, it must be related to Li Yan.
Although he didn't know that Li Yan was suffering from the poisonous body, he knew that he was a cultivator from the Wuliang Sect, and he had seen Li Yan take action at Hu Chen's house before.
Moreover, the timing when the three tribes' wind beasts' attacks were blocked was so coincidental, it was exactly after Li Yan passed by.
As for Gong Shanhe's return to the clan, Zhuo Lingfeng has not received any news yet.
The Shamen Temple is also quite far away from the Tianli tribe, and they don't want to deal with the Tianli tribe. Of course, they won't specifically collect news about the Tianli tribe. It is already extremely extraordinary to have news about the other party for several months.
"It's just a short respite for now. I came here to trouble Fellow Daoist Zhuo for something!"
Li Yan went straight to the point. He didn't have much time to waste. After hearing what he said, Zhuo Lingfeng's face suddenly became more serious.
He already had a guess in his mind whether Li Yan wanted him to help the Tianli tribe. If Li Yan spoke up, he would take action even if it would cause unusual movements of the wind beasts around the Shamen Temple.
But after this action, he felt that he had repaid the kindness he had shown to Li Yan.
