"Three years later, if there is no problem with the seal, then my father and the others will stop paying attention to the 'Yinshan Beast', and I will bring up the matter of 'King Qing'!"
Gong Chenying bit her teeth lightly, revealing two snow-white teeth, and spoke softly, with a blush appearing behind her ears and on her neck.
"I am at least 60% sure about the seal!"
Li Yan knew that the Tianli people were still in a state of anxiety at the moment and would not have the mind to hold a grand ceremony for them. This process would take at least a few years.
Li Yan also spoke softly, but he said it was about the seal. He had never made such a promise to anyone else.
"Um!"
Gong Chenying felt even more relieved when she heard Li Yan's whispers.
Li Yan is a cautious person. Whenever he says something that carries a promise, it is usually when he is very sure. He said he was 60% sure, and Gong Chenying thought he should be at least 70%.
Gong Chenying moved her head away from Li Yan's shoulder.
"Oh, there is one thing. Because you haven't obtained the last three levels of the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique yet, the clan rules don't allow you to tell others about it, so you don't know it yet.
Now that the Great Elder has given you a five-year deadline, by which time you will be able to obtain the seventh-level technique, I can tell you some of it in advance.
The inheritance of the last three levels of skills is not simple. It cannot be practiced with just a jade slip that records the skills. Instead, one must enter the ancestral land of our clan and receive the inheritance there."
Li Yan was stunned when he heard this.
"We must enter your ancestral land. Is there any other condition required to practice the last three levels of the technique?"
"This... I don't know. Only when the tribesmen have truly cultivated to the seventh level will they be allowed to enter. For example, my father has never entered, and he doesn't know either.
However, after you proposed the conditions for obtaining the last three levels of the skills, the Great Elder did not object. Does this mean that only in order to pass on the skills, one needs to enter the ancestral land to gain insights, but not also to practice
This racial rule cannot be disclosed without permission, and I don’t know much about it…”
Gong Chenying showed an apologetic look on her face. Members of the Tianli tribe would never violate the tribe rules, and she was no exception.
In fact, when Li Yan was not really going to be taught the seventh level of skills, her actions were against the clan rules, but the Tianli clan and Li Yan had already reached an agreement, and Li Yan would eventually be her Taoist partner, so she still told him some of the situations she knew.
Li Yan’s mind was racing.
"After practicing the third level of the technique, one actually has to enter the ancestral land of the Tianli tribe. Will there be restrictions on future practice? It should be just like what Sixth Senior Sister said, that it is just a legacy of enlightenment?"
Li Yan is always extremely cautious about unknown things.
Obviously, Gong Chenying had considered his concerns before, so he also proposed another possibility, which is that there is no need to practice in it, but one needs to enter there when passing on the skills.
This statement makes sense because when many high-level skills are passed down, in order to strictly prevent them from being lost, they are restricted to certain conditions and are not allowed to be recorded into jade slips. They can only be learned by observing the original version.
Or it may not be able to be engraved at all, but has to be passed on through some treasures such as the photo wall.
In this way, the skills can be prevented from being lost to the greatest extent. Of course, there is a spear and a shield. Any restrictive ban will have a corresponding way to break it. There is no such thing as absolute prevention of leakage.
"It's too early now, we'll know when the time comes."
Li Yan couldn't think of any other possibilities for a moment, so he put the matter aside for the time being.
Then he took out a small porcelain bottle.
"Now that the fifth-level 'Yinshan Beast' has been sealed, I have used a drop of blood essence, and I can also obtain the last three levels of skills. The remaining..."
Gong Chenying shook her head repeatedly before Li Yan finished speaking.
"Junior brother, please don't mention this matter again. What I lack now to advance to the Nascent Soul stage is not a strong body or a cultivation technique, but a tempering of my mind. If you can form a Nascent Soul, I can do it too!
If you can become a god in the future, I believe I can do the same. My destiny as an immortal is not just limited to what I have seen before me..."
In the end, Gong Chenying didn't want this drop of blood at all, and Li Yan felt helpless. This was such a treasure in the world, and if others knew about it, they would kill for it. But Sixth Senior Sister said she didn't want anything.
You can't force people to give things as gifts. Even if you force it on them and she refuses to refine it, what can you do
Li Yan also understood the Sixth Senior Sister's thoughts. The blood essence of the Immortal Phoenix was too precious, and she was not willing to take away the immortal fate that belonged to her.
Moreover, Gong Chenying always maintained a strong heart. She firmly believed that she had her own destiny as an immortal. It was okay to give herself treasures, but it also depended on the situation.
In fact, Gong Chenying thought more in his mind. He knew that Li Yan had refined seven drops of "Immortal Dark Phoenix" blood.
If I only refine this one drop, I might be able to increase my physical strength a little, but the effect may not be as greater as after Li Yan's refining.
Li Yan had refined several drops before, and his bloodline would have a cumulative strengthening effect, and perhaps it would be able to inspire new "Immortal Dark Phoenix" and other innate magical powers.
This would definitely help Li Yan in reaching the most difficult stage of entering the lower realm, the late Nascent Soul stage. This was the main reason why she refused.
Seeing that Li Yan was still hesitant, Gong Chenying's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she changed the subject and started talking about other things.
"Junior brother, including the time you spent crossing the boundary, you have already been away from the Desolate Moon Continent for quite some time. Do you miss Junior Sister Min Min?"
Li Yan, who was holding an exquisite porcelain bottle, was stunned when he heard this. Then, he didn't know how to answer. He thought to himself.
"You must know that I miss Min Er, but how should I answer? Yes or no?"
The mountain breeze blew, Gong Chenying looked at Li Yan, and for a moment her smile was as beautiful as a flower, making the whole world suddenly lose its color, as if there was only the beautiful smile in the world! … …
Three months later, the First Elder, the Fourth Elder, Yan San and Li Yan returned from the swamp. This time, Hong Yin and Gong Chenying also went with them.
Under Hong Yin's spell, except for Gong Faying and Li Yan who stood at a distance, the others moved closer to the fifth-level "Yinshan Beast". Everyone used their spiritual sense to carefully explore it over and over again...
Although Yan San still had no expression on his face, his eyes clearly had more color when he looked at the group of human cultivators. He also saw that these people were actually also worried about the outcome of the seal, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
The moment the Fourth Elder entered the seal, he actually confirmed it at first glance, because the extremely fierce aura from the other party hit him in the face.
He even felt his hands and feet go limp, and the mana in his body began to become uncontrollable, running slowly and stiff...
Finally, the current sealing effect and the level of the wind beast were confirmed, and the four elders no longer expressed any objections.
If he dared to express doubt again, Hong Yin would probably let him touch the beast with his own hands and try it out.
Everyone could see the impatience in Hong Yin's eyes. After she confirmed the identity of the "Yinshan Beast" with her own eyes, if others still had doubts, it would mean that they were doubting her ability.
To her, this questioned everything she had ever said.
After confirming this matter, he agreed with Yan San on the next time to go there, which was six months later.
If the seal is still fine after half a year, then the interval between future inspections will become one year, and the intervals will become longer and longer in the future.
After returning to the clan, Li Yan announced to the public that he would be in seclusion for a period of time, and Gong Shanhe had also given him the jade slip of the sixth level of the skills.
He also made it clear to Li Yan that as long as the seal remained stable for three years, the ceremony for him and Gong Chenying to enter the palace as "King Qing'a" would be held.
The feud with the wind beast cannot be eliminated so quickly, but everything is moving in the right direction. The two sides have traded several times and are very satisfied with each other.
Hong Yin and Gong Chenying did not come back together this time. At Hong Yin's suggestion, Gong Chenying and she stayed in the swamp. Hong Yin chose a place and began a training session for Gong Chenying.
Gong Shanhe and Li Yan had no objection to this. The environment in the swamp was harsh, but without the threat of the fifth-level wind beast, it was indeed a good place for training.
For this purpose, before leaving, Gong Shanhe spent a lot of his own money to prepare some soul-nourishing pills for Hongyin, in case she was in danger and then ran out of energy.
… …
Li Yan entered a short period of seclusion.
In the attic, Li Yan's spiritual consciousness first entered the "earth spot" and scanned around. He found that Qianji and Zikun were still practicing. The auras of the two monsters were stable. Only then did he feel relieved.
He wanted the two demons to improve their strength as soon as possible so that they could help him better, but he was also afraid that the two demons would be too eager for quick success and lose their state of mind, which would be counterproductive.
"More than two years?"
Li Yan sat cross-legged in the room and began to plan his own training. There were only three years left until the "King Qing'a" entry ceremony, but he would definitely have to come out of retreat in advance.
Therefore, he needs to think carefully about how to use the past two years or so to make up for his current shortcomings.
In the past three months, Li Yan and Gong Chenying put aside other things. Every day they either traveled around the Tianli tribe or strolled among the mountains and streams.
Gong Chenying also relaxed some of her restraint and was able to hold hands with Li Yan without blushing for a long time. Occasionally, the two of them would hug each other briefly, but that was all.
If they want to go further, Gong Chenying will be at a loss, Li Yan will also restrain himself rationally, and the Tianli tribe will also check the chastity of women during their weddings.
Although the two of them would definitely become a Taoist couple, Li Yan didn't want Gong Chenying to be embarrassed during their wedding...
"I have already acquired the sixth level of the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique. It is time to break through to the sixth level.
The sixth level corresponds to the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul. Especially when one cultivates to the peak, one can enter the late stage of the Nascent Soul. Let’s see how far I can cultivate in more than two years…”
Nowadays, Li Yan has been making progress in his practice of magic. He practices the "Guishui Sutra" whenever he has time every day. At the same time, he also practices the "Nine Ding Guishui" to refine his magic power.
As for the body refining technique, it began to lag behind. Firstly, he only had the fifth level of "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" before, and the last drop of "Immortal Phoenix" blood, which he originally wanted to leave for Gong Chenying, had not yet been refined.
After thinking about the next training plan, Li Yan immediately took out a jade slip, immersed his consciousness into it, and soon entered into contemplation...
In the Wild Moon Continent, Wuliang Sect, Xiaozhu Peak, in the bamboo courtyard where Li Yan was, a graceful girl was controlling the spiritual power in her hands with a nervous look on her face, looking completely focused.
The girl had fair skin and looked only about eleven or twelve years old. Her black hair was combed into a long ponytail, but her snow-white face already showed some heroic spirit.
Her round face, which still had some baby fat, now had some smooth edges and corners, and she looked vaguely like Zhao Min.
At this moment, the girl's pair of extremely pure eyes were staring at the stone table in front of her. On the stone table was a box made of jade. The box was transparent, with only a thumb-sized hole on the top.
At this time, the fair-skinned girl was gathering her magic power and urging spiritual power to continuously pour into the cave.
In the transparent box, there is a one-foot-long poisonous insect that is swimming rapidly back and forth in the box. The insect's body is alternating red and black, with spots all over it, and its surface is covered with dense milky white thorns.
Green juice oozes out of its bloated body from time to time, making it look extremely ferocious. The insect is called "red sore bee insect" and every tiny thorn on its body carries a deadly poison.
A first-level "Red Sore Bee Gu" is enough to poison a foundation-building cultivator to death, but the "Red Sore Bee Gu" in the box in front of him is actually a second-level monster!
