After hearing what Li Yan said, Gong Chenying felt a sweet feeling in her heart. Li Yan's trust in his father was, of course, his greatest trust in her.
"Does this have to be done by you?"
"I have a way to counter the eye of the 'Sky Eye Wind'! And I am not sure if anyone other than Daoist Hongyin can use this seal.
After all, it is a Buddhist magic weapon that can restrain evil spirits. Fellow Daoist Hongyin will naturally have no problem using it. After I got this magic weapon, I also studied it for many years.
Now that it is handed over to someone else, if they want to truly use this magic weapon, they still need a process of getting familiar with it, which is a waste of time."
Li Yan reached out and gently patted Gong Chenying on the shoulder, signaling her not to worry.
"How sure are you?"
"We should be 60% sure. After all, we are only sealing the opponent, not killing a wind beast in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The two most important things to worry about are: first, the seal with fellow Daoist Hongyin must not produce mutual repulsion; second, whether the true body of the 'Yinshan Beast' will wake up?"
Li Yan's face also became solemn. The two conditions he mentioned were too important.
If the two Buddhist seals cannot be integrated, the seal will fail. Hongyin has taught him a set of techniques, but he will only know the answer after trying it.
Secondly, once the fifth-level wind beast wakes up, Li Yan will definitely not be his opponent, and death may happen in an instant. Fortunately, Hong Yin has an answer to this point, and she is very sure.
The other party is Su Xing, who was basically forcibly awakened by his clone. That situation would cause his soul to be damaged again, and Hong Yin's seal would also suppress him, so he would not be able to kill Li Yan through the seal.
As the person who sealed it with his own hands, Li Yan still believed what Hong Yin said.
"If you refine the two drops of 'Immortal Dark Phoenix' blood essence you mentioned last time, what breakthrough can you achieve?"
Gong Chenying suddenly asked another question at this time.
"this… "
Li Yan understood Gong Chenying's meaning in an instant. Gong Chenying was still worried about his own safety. He wanted to quickly improve his strength and increase his chances of survival.
"Don't hesitate. I won't refine those two drops of blood essence. I have my own destiny!"
A determination flashed in Gong Chenying's eyes, and she looked at Li Yan with a pair of clear eyes.
“It is impossible to refine two drops in a short period of time. With my current Nascent Soul cultivation, it would take me only half a month to refine one drop of blood essence, but if it is to be completely integrated, it would take three to five months.
At that time, my strength will hopefully be able to reach the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. But that's all I can do. I can't continue to refine the last drop, and it won't be very effective.
After all, if he progresses further, he will become a late-stage great cultivator. The late Nascent Soul stage and the first two stages of the Nascent Soul stage are completely different. There is an insurmountable gap between them, and it is not something that can be broken through with just a drop of blood essence. "
Li Yan knew what Gong Chenying was thinking, but what he said was also the truth. He had to choose an appropriate time to refine the second drop of essence and blood, so that it would help him break through to the late Nascent Soul stage and play a real role.
Ever since he practiced the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" to the fifth level, his bottleneck has begun to loosen.
Even without elixirs or other aids, Li Yan felt that as long as he practiced with peace of mind, he would be able to reach the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage within three years.
But this only improves the realm, and it certainly lacks the other improvements brought by the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix", such as the increase in strength and defense.
Li Yan felt a little regretful that he had told Gong Chenying so many wonderful uses of essence and blood. Now it would be difficult to trick Gong Chenying into refining it.
Now Li Yan was doubting whether Zhao Min was also deceiving him and did not want to take away his immortal fate, but the method she used was more tactful and she did not refuse on the spot.
Li Yan still wanted to leave the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix" to Gong Chenying, but he couldn't force it, and he couldn't refine it for Gong Chenying.
After Li Yan answered, Gong Chenying nodded.
"Okay, then you can refine a drop of blood essence first. We can still afford to wait for half a year.
Otherwise, if you go over now, or if you lie to me and say you haven’t refined your blood essence, then don’t discuss anything with me in the future. Your decision won’t change anyway!”
Li Yan felt a headache after hearing this. With Gong Chenying and Zhao Min's personalities, they would usually do ten things he asked for.
But once they have made up their minds, it is almost impossible for others to change them.
"Well, five months then!"
"Half a year!"
Gong Chenying looked at Li Yan with her beautiful eyes, which made Li Yan seem to see his Sixth Senior Sister giving him orders in the Wheel of Life and Death.
"We'll see what the final outcome of the talks between the two parties is. We'll talk about this later!"
Li Yan thought about it.
That night, when Li Yan and Gong Chenying arrived at the "Tianli Palace", the great elders were already sitting there. After Li Yan and Gong Chenying sat down, Gong Shanhe immediately spoke.
"We have already reached an agreement with Yan San and the others to seal the Yinshan Beast together!"
When he said this, a smile appeared on his face. Joining forces with the wind beasts was probably the first time in the Wind God Continent that there had ever been such a precedent.
As he spoke, Gong Shanhe waved his hand, causing a wave in the void, and then a scroll flashing red light and with a faint bloody smell appeared in the air.
There are blood-colored symbols flowing on the scroll, as if layers of water are constantly flowing.
Gong Shanhe raised his hand and the blood-colored scroll slowly unfolded. Lines of small, blood-red characters appeared on it, and a wave of cold murderous intent rushed towards him.
Li Yan seemed to see blood-red lightning jumping around, as if it was about to break out at any time and kill everything around it.
This is to let Li Yan, the third and fourth elders, and Hong Yin come over to look at the contents of the blood contract between Ming Zhixiao and the wind beast...
After dozens of breaths, Gong Shanhe looked at everyone.
"The blood pact stipulates the matters of joint sealing, and various agreements that both sides shall not take advantage of any excuse to attack each other. Elders, please be informed of this and make arrangements immediately. It is strictly forbidden for the monks and warriors in front to provoke a war without reason."
As he spoke, he looked at several elders. The second elder personally participated in the negotiations and of course already knew the content, but he immediately nodded in agreement.
The third elder's pleasant voice was also heard.
"Of course there is no problem, but they still need to be alert and on high alert as before!"
Gong Shanhe nodded, and glanced at Li Yan and Hong Yin again. He took out the blood covenant scroll, which was actually mainly for Li Yan to see. He was the one who sealed it in the end, so that Li Yan would know that there was no agreement in it that was disadvantageous to him.
After reading it, Li Yan smiled without saying anything. Hong Yin remained silent. Gong Shanhe then raised his hand and took the blood-red scroll.
"Okay then. Ask Fellow Daoist Li to come over. One more thing to do is to see when we will set off to the bottom of the swamp. Then we can study the details."
The Great Elder then spoke.
"Half a year later!" Without waiting for Li Yan to answer, Gong Chenying's cold voice echoed in the hall. This was the first time she took the initiative to speak after accompanying Li Yan to "Tianli Hall" several times.
This immediately made everyone's attention fall on her.
"Half a year? Does Li Yan need to prepare anything?"
Gong Shanhe asked the first question.
"That Buddhist magic weapon has just been refined, and it also has a more suitable set of driving formula. Although Junior Brother can activate it now, he is using the common Tongbao formula, which cannot fully exert its power.
I have discussed this with him before. He needs half a year to get familiar with the new spell, and the master also gave him the method to fuse the two Buddhist magic weapons!"
Gong Chenying also gave a straightforward answer, and at the same time, glanced at Li Yan, who was hesitant to speak, with her beautiful eyes.
After hearing what Gong Chenying said, Hong Yin's eyes, which were originally slightly closed, opened and closed for a moment, and then closed again.
"Oh?? Can the seal's power be increased further?"
After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and Gong Shanhe's voice revealed surprise.
"Oh yes!!"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yan nodded. Gong Chenying knew his character too well. After Li Yan was 60% sure, he might think of solving the matter immediately.
So she immediately answered and postponed it for half a year.
Moreover, Gong Chenying also knew that Li Yan hated others knowing his strength the most, so she did not mention that the half year was used to improve his strength, but used other reasons.
However, Li Yan's hesitant look still caught the attention of everyone. Everyone here was a smart person, and they immediately guessed that the reason Gong Chenying gave for postponing the matter for half a year should not be Li Yan's original intention.
Gong Chenying also acted out of character today and interrupted Li Yan's words.
"Hehehe... No problem, I'll go talk to Yan San!"
Seeing that Li Yan did not object to the time given by Gong Chenying, the Great Elder laughed and said that half a year was still worth waiting. However, his laughter sounded a little strange to Li Yan.
Gong Shanhe on the side kept stroking his chin with one hand, his eyes scanning Li Yan and Gong Chenying.
"Oh, Ah Ying, that's fine. This shouldn't be what Li Yan meant! Well, I won't be bullied by this kid in the future..."
"Friend Li, what are the personalities of the women of our Tianli tribe like? Hehehe..."
Just when Li Yan kept silent, the sound of the Third Elder's sweet laughter rang in his mind!
Five months later, on a mountain peak in the far north of the Tianli tribe, in a formation with a faint flickering green light, Li Yan was holding up a statue of Vajrapani that fell from the sky with one hand.
Not far away, Gong Chenying, who was holding a red spear, and Hong Yin, whose figure was a little blurry, were standing one in front and one behind.
Hong Yin was commanding four and a half Dharma images. Now she finally knew what Gong Chenying was planning five months ago.
It turns out that Li Yan has a secret method that can quickly improve his strength. As his disciple, he will let him improve his strength before going to the swamp.
Hong Yin was also puzzled. Usually, for methods like this to quickly improve cultivation, apart from having auxiliary elixirs of the seventh rank or above, or some exotic fruits, other methods would make one's foundation unstable. Some of them had to be tried...
After seven or eight breaths, Hong Yin withdrew the magic formula, and the "Vajra Zhenyue Formation" disappeared. There was great surprise in her eyes.
"Li Yan should have a seventh-grade or higher auxiliary cultivation elixir in his hand. His realm is now at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Judging from his response to the Vajra Dharma Image, it seems that his strength has increased by more than 10% compared to five months ago.
Moreover, the technique this kid practices is very special, it should be the top technique in the water attribute… "
Hong Yin was shocked. First of all, she was sure that Li Yan had elixirs of grade seven or above on him. This kind of elixir is very difficult to refine in the lower world nowadays. It is very likely that it was obtained from ancient ruins.
This shows that Li Yan's luck is extremely good, and immortal cultivators also attach great importance to a person's fortune.
Secondly, Li Yanshui’s magical power was incredibly pure, as if it had been continuously condensed by some kind of technique.
With Hong Yin's vision as a former divine cultivator, she could still tell when Li Yan was performing his magic that the other party was still deliberately restraining himself, otherwise the power of the magic would have increased.
This is also the reason why Gong Chenying invited her. Now the relationship between Gong Chenying and Hong Yin, the master and disciple, is becoming increasingly deep, and some things will not be hidden from her.
Hong Yin was also very satisfied with Gong Chenying. Both in terms of qualifications and character, she was an excellent choice, even surpassing her original disciple.
Gong Chenying asked his master to come over just to confirm whether Li Yan's cultivation had really improved.
If not, either Li Yan was lying to her about the efficacy of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix" blood essence, or Li Yan did not refine it but just meditated for five months. Then she would be really angry!
Although Hong Yin had some guesses in her mind that Li Yan's strength would improve in a short period of time, she was not tempted. Although the seventh-grade elixir was precious to her, it was not something that could nourish the soul or rebuild the body.
She used to be a Divine Transformation cultivator and had seen some seventh-grade elixirs, but this was not enough to make her want to kill for money.
Moreover, a few months ago, Gong Shanhe received a message that the "Guiqulaixie" shop said that the physical body of the Nascent Soul cultivator with fire attribute had been completed and was being processed.
If we add the time it takes to deliver it across the continent, the other party will reply that it will be delivered within ten years.
Hong Yin was also very happy about this news. She now knew what kind of existence "Guiqulaixie" was. It was a company with a very powerful force behind it. It might be a shop set up by the fairy world in the lower world, and its reputation was very guaranteed.
Moreover, she had no doubt that the Li people would fabricate this news. It was only ten years, which was just a blink of an eye for her.
In such a short time, there was no need for the other party to lie to her, unless in these years, the Tianli tribe suddenly asked her to do something life-threatening, which meant that this was a bait.
Looking at Li Yan who was walking towards him with a helpless look on his face, Gong Chenying heard Hong Yin's voice in his mind.
"Your realm has indeed improved, to the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!!"
Then, Hong Yin's figure flashed and she left. She didn't want to disturb her disciples. As a monk, it was better for her to stay away from these scenes.
Seeing Hong Yin leave, Li Yan could only smile bitterly and speak.
"Sixth Senior Sister, is everything alright now? I have done everything according to your 'orders'. Next, we should seal the wind beast as soon as possible."
But Gong Chenying shook his head.
"I didn't give any orders, and Junior Brother didn't follow them!"
Li Yan was stunned.
"Didn't I refine my blood essence to improve my cultivation?"
"But I told Dad it was six months!"
A hint of cunning suddenly flashed in Gong Chenying's eyes, and then his slender figure flashed, and he had already left the green formation and flew high into the sky, leaving Li Yan standing there in a daze.
