Li Yan glanced at Yang Youxian, who was breathing out more than inhaling under his palm. In order to obtain more memories, Li Yan had already used his magic power to protect his sea of consciousness.
Otherwise, Yang Youxian would not have been able to last more than ten breaths under that brutal soul-searching, and his sea of consciousness would have collapsed and he would have died.
The moment Li Yan's palm left Yang Youxian's head, seven or eight storage bags on Yang Youxian's body and the amber jade bracelet on his wrist flew away one after another, and then a pill flew into Yang Youxian's mouth.
Afterwards, Yang Youxian's figure disappeared from the ground in an instant. He was captured by Li Yan, but Li Yan did not kill him immediately.
He has always been cautious and thoughtful in his actions. For someone like Yang Youxian, there is a high probability that there will be something like a soul lamp or a natal tablet left in the sect. Once he dies, the sect will know about it the next moment.
Yang Youxian must have had such things in his memory, but Li Yan didn't have time to search through them all, so he just had to be as careful as possible.
"How is it, what news did you get?"
At this moment, a voice came from the corner of the wall, and then a black figure quickly turned from virtual to real. It was Gong Shanhe. He had been staying in the room, and Yang Youxian certainly could not detect his presence.
What's more, if he found out, it would only make him more terrified.
"His master is called 'Reverend Bi Hai', the master of the three islands, and the cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
The second island master had his arms chopped off by the Great Elder last time. Although he has restored his arms, some of the Great Elder's power is still in his body, which he is currently dissolving in seclusion.
According to Yang Youxian's own guess, the second island master's strength may be only 70% to 80% of what it used to be, so the current Nascent Soul level combat power on the island is lower than before.
In the same battle, because the "Sea-Breaking Beast" was unaware of the situation, it also participated in the attack and killing of the fleeing elder.
They also had a fourth-level "sea-breaking beast" whose body was destroyed by the great elder during a sneak attack, so the two sides have not yet had another major battle.
As for the rest, I mainly looked up some of Yang Youxian’s recent past memories, as well as information about the people he interacted with the most on a daily basis. I didn’t look into too many trivial matters.”
Gong Shanhe nodded after hearing this. They had planned all of this long ago. It was too easy for two Nascent Soul cultivators to plot against a Golden Core cultivator.
"Your skills should be concealed without any problem, but are you sure you can transform into the other party's appearance and enter the other party's sect?"
Things have come to this point, and Gong Shanhe knew that it was time to really take action. Previously, Li Yan had always said that he would be the one to change the other person's appearance, and he was very confident that he would not be discovered, so he had been worried.
"Hehehe... To be exact, it's a disguise, not an illusion!"
As Li Yan answered, he stretched out his hand and opened Yang Youxian's storage bag one by one. Even if the other party was not dead, the imprint of his spiritual consciousness left on it was like nothing in front of Li Yan.
After obtaining the other person's memories, he opened each storage bag with familiarity and checked them quickly. He still had to confirm whether the things that concealed his identity were all there after he disguised himself as the other person.
He couldn't stay here for too long, lest the shopkeeper Wu who had stayed outside come looking for him.
So, after quickly confirming Yang Youxian's sect token and some tokens of the handover to the shop here, under the gaze of Gong Shanhe, Li Yanxian restored his original appearance.
Then, with a slight flash of light in his hand, a gray pill the size of a fingernail appeared in his hand. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation on it, and it looked dull, colorless and tasteless.
Li Yan made a hand gesture and a pool of clear water appeared out of thin air in front of him. He then threw the gray Dan blade into the water.
As Gong Shanhe looked at him strangely, the pill quickly melted into the water. After waiting for about fifty breaths, Li Yan began to quickly apply the suspended water on his cheeks.
Afterwards, Gong Shanhe was surprised to find that Li Yan began to stretch his facial skin with his hands, and even pressed bones such as the cheekbones.
And those bones seemed a little soft, and they kept deforming in Li Yan's hands. However, Li Yan did not show any pain at all, which showed that the pill was very strange.
Li Yan released his spiritual sense at the same time, constantly observing Yang Youxian's appearance in the "spot of earth", his hands moving without stopping...
Another half cup of tea later, a white-robed monk in his forties appeared in front of Gong Shanhe. He had fair skin and a pair of slender eyes on his cold face, looking very gloomy. It was "Yang Youxian" with a storage bag hanging from his waist.
Gong Shanhe had been using his spiritual sense to continuously observe Li Yan, and finally an identical "Yang Youxian" appeared in front of him.
After Li Yan "adjusted" his cheeks, he finally took out a Lahuangdan pill, crushed it, and applied it on his face again.
At the moment of completion, Li Yan's realm also changed again, and in an instant he was completely fixed at the late Jindan stage, exactly the same as Yang Youxian.
At this time, even though the two were so close, Gong Shanhe could no longer detect any abnormality in Li Yan's cultivation.
What surprised Gong Shanhe the most was the two kinds of pills, one gray and one yellow, that Li Yan took out. He had already seen the value of these two kinds of pills.
Without using any magic or spiritual power, one can change one's appearance, and even the bones beneath the skin seem to be able to move.
This kind of transformation did not involve any means of the cultivators. To be precise, it was the most common disguise technique in the mortal world. However, in the eyes of the cultivators, the disguise techniques of mortals were a world away from this.
However, the monks' methods of checking illusions were completely useless for this kind of disguise, because a fundamental change had taken place from bones to muscles, not a change in the magic technique.
"No wonder you are so sure, this thing is really so real that it can kill people and steal the goods!"
After careful investigation again and again, Gong Shanhe could not find any trace of change in the appearance of "Yang Youxian" in front of him. If he had not seen Li Yan change his appearance in front of him with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe it at this moment.
Li Yan was using the Chaos Pill that Bro had given him during the Nascent Soul Ceremony.
If Li Yan's realm was not much higher than Bro's and he was not familiar with Bro's aura, he would definitely not be able to tell that someone had disguised himself and entered the Wuliang Sect.
"Yang Youxian" smiled coldly.
"Then we will proceed according to the plan. Chief, please wait at the agreed location!"
"When you enter the enemy's sect's formation, you must be extremely careful. If you find that something is wrong, flee immediately and use the sound transmission talisman I gave you. Escape is the first priority. I will rush over as quickly as possible!"
Gong Shanhe thought about it and said with concern that although he had made a plan with Li Yan, he always felt guilty for letting the other party put himself in danger.
But Li Yan had analyzed the reasons for him before, and he was more confident than himself in the past. Just based on his hidden realm and skills, he thought he could not reach the level of Li Yan.
However, there is still one hurdle that may be discovered, which is the use of the sect token when entering the "Qionglinmen" protective formation.
"It's okay. I've checked it. The token was also made with Yang Youxian's blood. I will borrow a bit of his blood to open it. No one will notice it."
Another reason why Li Yan did not kill Yang Youxian immediately was that he had to let him provide him with blood essence at any time, but all this had to be done in secret, so that no one could find out that there were any strange fluctuations in blood essence. Li Yan believed that the "Earth Spot" could certainly block out everything he did, but he had to act quickly.
Gong Shanhe nodded, and he just reminded again that he had already given two specially made talisman notes to Li Yan.
He was asked not to send out sound if he was in danger, but to directly throw out a special sound transmission note to save time for escape, and he would rush there as soon as possible.
… …
In the secret room on the third floor of "Xianbaofang", Li Yan looked at a jade account book and two storage bags in front of him without much expression on his face, while Shopkeeper Wu looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Brother Yang, here are this month's account books and acquisitions, as well as spirit stones. Please check them."
"Yang Youxian" glanced at it indifferently, then picked up a storage bag. After his spiritual consciousness sank into it, he found four bottles of elixirs, three magic weapons, and some materials. A black inkstone was also lying quietly in it.
After drawing out his spiritual consciousness, he put it into another storage bag, and then his eyes lit up.
"These are all mid-level spirit stones. There are as many as 110,000 of them. The scale of the business of 'Qionglin Sect' is really not small."
This person is of course Li Yan. He didn't expect that a shop in the market could earn so much in a month.
This is much higher than the previous monthly income of "Falling Star Valley", but think about it, "Qionglin Gate" is a shop that is painstakingly run by a first-class sect.
Think about the tens of thousands of disciples in the sect. After taking these spirit stones back for cultivation, there are so many Yuanying and Jindan cultivators in the sect. In fact, it is not too many.
Of course, the other party definitely does not rely solely on this one shop to support himself.
Li Yan's face showed no joy or sadness as he withdrew his spiritual sense, unceremoniously tied the two storage bags around his waist, and then took the jade account book.
A ray of light shot out from the amber jade bracelet on her wrist, hitting the jade account book, and then turned into a book.
It contained records of the past month's accounts. Li Yan was familiar with the place and turned directly to the last page of the account book, leaving a mark of his spiritual consciousness on it.
He had seen these scenes several times in Yang Youxian's memory, so of course he copied them.
When Shopkeeper Wu saw this, his smile widened.
The cooperation with this Senior Brother Yang is getting more and more tacit. The other party is so confident that he can stamp his spiritual consciousness on the accounts he made, so he will never check the little tricks he has done.
If he followed the normal process, Yang Youxian would still have to go to the warehouse to check everything from beginning to end, and then verify it with the account books one by one, and there would definitely be a mismatch.
Then Manager Wu has done what he should have done, and he can go back to the sect to receive his punishment.
"Alright, Junior Brother Wu, Junior Brother Cao and I will go back now. I'm still going to trouble you to take care of the store here!"
Seeing that the process was finally completed, Li Yan immediately said goodbye.
"Brother Yang, why are you in such a hurry to leave this time? I have booked a fine banquet at the Qingheju Inn tonight and specially cooked a third-level Flowing Jade Snake!"
Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw this. In the past, when Yang Youxian and his friends came here, they would at least stay for one night to enjoy the delicious meals of wind beasts and the tempting carcasses at night.
"Next time. There have been some issues in the sect recently, and the Jindan manpower is a bit tight. I also have to be on duty!"
Li Yan waved his hand. What he said was not nonsense. Now that a Yuanying cultivator of "Qionglin Sect" was injured by the Great Elder, all kinds of patrols have been strengthened and all Jindan cultivators have to go out on duty.
Shopkeeper Wu's heart trembled, and he immediately knew what the other party was talking about.
"Okay, then when Senior Brother Yang and Senior Brother Cao are free, we can have a good gathering. We have recently received a lot of good furnaces and tripods!"
Although Cao Lang is not here, he has always been very careful with his words. He does not have a Nascent Soul Master as his backer, so he will not offend anyone.
Above a sea area, Cao Lang and Yang Youxian stood side by side, standing in a flying magic weapon that looked like red coral.
Cao Lang looked at Yang Youxian who didn't say a word, his mind full of thoughts. He made a lot of spirit stones by purchasing things this time.
"Brother Yang, how was your conversation with that person?"
Cao Lang said with anticipation, while Yang Youxian sighed.
“To be honest, Junior Brother, we haven’t reached an agreement on this at all. I see that the magic weapon has been damaged and its grade has dropped. It’s probably worth at most 20,000 spirit stones.
But the other party insisted that it was my poor vision and it would be better to let someone who knew the value of it come and discuss it in detail. It was just a magic weapon and not a really rare item. If it was worth tens or millions of spirit stones, it would be worth it for our master to come.
Shopkeeper Wu himself has negotiated many such deals. The other party just asked for an exorbitant price and wanted to meet a Nascent Soul cultivator. Maybe he himself was not sure of the level of this magic weapon, so he asked his master and others to make the judgment.
But there is no need for that, I can see the value, he is just dreaming!"
"Oh, what kind of magic weapon is that?"
Cao Liang asked again. He had actually asked about it from the shopkeeper Wu later, and he also said that they did not reach an agreement. However, he did not believe it at all, so he went to the Qingheju Inn to find the man himself.
Cao Lang wanted to talk to the other party in person, but unfortunately the man had already checked out and left.
"It's a strange porcelain bowl with patterns similar to some unknown grass engraved on it..."
Four days later, after the two of them had gone around in a big circle and avoided the sea area where the "Sea-breaking Beast" was located, an island appeared in the distance in Li Yan's sight.
However, these islands are quite huge. Looking from the air, each island looks like a medium-sized city. Although the islands are hundreds of miles apart from each other, one can faintly see purple light flowing, which is the connection between the formations.
The two of them flew directly across the sky above the island in front of them without stopping, and flew quickly towards the center.
Li Yan seemed to be neither happy nor sad on the surface, but he quickly memorized everything he saw in his mind. At the same time, he secretly released his spiritual sense and carefully observed the formation below to reserve a retreat route for himself.
Li Yan felt that he was quite experienced in sneak attacks, even if the other party had a late-stage great cultivator. Somehow, Li Yan felt a sense of inexplicable excitement in his heart.
Of course, Cao Lang knew nothing about this and had no idea who he had brought back. He continued to talk to "Yang Youxian" from time to time.
