After changing the subject, the woman in red didn't want to argue about that topic anymore. Every time she talked about it, she would feel endless sorrow in her heart.
"It's hard to say. Maybe he said that on purpose. He will leave as soon as his injury heals. That's still possible. However, let's just take a gamble as Junior Sister said.
Let's see if our ability to judge people is as accurate as before!"
The young man in yellow robe looked up at the cool moonlight that occasionally sprinkled through the undulating pine waves.
He sat under the pine tree, and when he looked up, it seemed as if the moonlight was swaying in the dark night. Finally, he made up his mind...
On the night of the third day, Li Yan's ears moved while he was practicing. He was not completely in a state of meditation while practicing here.
As he is at the Nascent Soul stage, he has sharp eyes and ears, and is very sensitive. However, he is not used to it yet, as this kind of perception and recognition is too far from spiritual consciousness.
"Friend Li, is this convenient?"
As Shangguan Tianque's voice came in, Li Yan waved his hand, a burst of energy swept through, and the door opened automatically.
The magic power in his body was slowly recovering, but since his Nascent Soul couldn't sense it, his cultivation speed was very slow.
However, Li Yan used the Yin energy in the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique". After he reached the sixth level of the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique", the Yin energy became even more mellow.
When he completely integrates the fierce and domineering Yang energy with the extremely soft Yin energy, he may be able to break through the shackles of the seventh layer and reach the state of spiritual transformation.
After Shangguan Tianque arrived, he talked with Li Yan for only half a cup of tea, then called Yu Banjiang, gave him some arrangements, and then left.
He asked Li Yan to rest for half a year. After his injuries had stabilized, he could use the "Immortal Liquid" arranged by the sect to cleanse his body. Li Yan agreed without hesitation.
Now he has no other choice. Once he leaves, he has to retreat and recover before he can consider the matter of the "Immortal Liquid".
That is definitely not enough time, less than a year. His soul might dissolve before he can recover and he would become an unconscious corpse.
Afterwards, Yu Banjiang took Li Yan away from the octagonal pavilion and went to a cave with a more tranquil environment and spiritual energy that was at least three or four times richer.
It might be because the octagonal attic where Li Yan lived before was very remote. At least during the time when Li Yan was awake, he only saw Yu Banjiang and Shangguan Tianque in the octagonal attic, and no other cultivators appeared at all.
If Li Yan's spiritual consciousness was still there, he could naturally use it to explore, but now he felt like a blind man and had no way of knowing the full picture of the "Pojun Gate", let alone the situation inside and around the gate!
After the two left the octagonal pavilion, Li Yan felt that they should be heading deeper into the sect, and he only met five people along the way.
When those people saw Yu Banjiang bringing Li Yan, apart from either bowing or greeting Banjiang, they all glanced at Li Yan curiously. They could not sense Li Yan's realm of cultivation, so they were even more surprised.
Yu Banjiang may have received instructions from Shangguan Tianque. He simply returned the greetings to the people he met along the way and did not introduce Li Yan's identity.
Li Yan knew his identity. He had not yet been recognized by Shangguan Tianque. The key point was that he was injured and needed to recover in a hurry. The other party wanted to hold an initiation ceremony for elders. How could he participate
Or maybe Shangguan Tianque has other ideas, but Li Yan is now taking things one step at a time. At least from Yu Banjiang, he can infer some things. Shangguan Tianque should not be a bloodthirsty person.
The "Pojun Gate" also gave Li Yan a strong feeling. After he and Yu Banjiang came out of the octagonal attic, they walked for half an incense stick of time before they arrived in front of a cave.
Perhaps due to the sect’s no-fly ban, Li Yan did not see anyone flying in the sky, which also made it impossible for him to further judge the situation of the “Pojun Gate”.
At this time, Li Yan's magic power was not enough to support him to fly, which showed how seriously he was injured.
If Shangguan Tianque knew that Li Yan was so seriously injured that he could not fly, but appeared to be able to walk briskly on the surface, who knows how shocked he would be
Li Yan's injuries would make most physical cultivators look weak and devastated even if they were treated like this.
"Elder Li, this is the token of this cave. I have imprinted my logo on it. If there is anything, just send a message to me!"
After Yu Banjiang took Li Yan for a walk in the cave, they found that the cave was fully equipped with everything needed, including a training room, a lounge, an alchemy and equipment refining room, a breeding room, and so on.
The scale is at least more than ten acres, especially the spiritual energy here, which makes Li Yan extremely satisfied. He doesn't know how rich the spiritual energy in the fairy world can really be.
However, the spiritual energy here was much richer than that in the secret room in Pingtu, which was a level he could never imagine.
At this time, Yu Banjiang no longer called Li Yan "fellow Taoist", but called him elder.
He was a dying man, and he seemed to have let go of everything. Moreover, he had saved the other person, so Li Yan was a natural name for him before.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, you are too polite! I wonder if you can arrange to send me some jade slips and books about the fairy world. After all, I know too little about the situation here, and I still need to learn more."
Li Yan said with a smile.
He had to at least understand more about the situation before he could concentrate on his practice in seclusion.
Moreover, through his practice and observation over the past few days, he has determined that if he wants to repair his sea of consciousness, he can only rely on terrazzo skills to restore it bit by bit.
In fact, Shangguan Tianque once asked him what kind of recovery pills he needed, and he would try his best to provide them, but Li Yan refused.
Now Li Yan did not want the other party to know his specific injuries, and most importantly, elixirs like this that could repair the sea of consciousness and were useful for the Nascent Soul had to be of the sixth grade or above to be effective.
Li Yan didn't think that the other party would be able to take it out once he opened his mouth. Instead, it would expose his many weaknesses at once. He still wanted to use the "Zhen Yuan Dan" to recover, which would be safer.
Yu Banjiang was not surprised that Li Yan asked for the jade slip. Anyone who arrives in a strange place will want to understand the surrounding situation as soon as possible.
After all, monks always put their own safety first. The first thing they need to make sure of is whether the environment they are in is safe and what potential dangers there are around them.
"no problem!"
Yu Banjiang also hopes that Li Yan can concentrate on his cultivation and recover as soon as possible, and become a great help to the sect.
He has already obtained the "Phantom Grass". Next, he needs to prepare to collect the other two main ingredients of the "Phantom Pill". It is estimated that he should be able to collect them within 30 years.
Although the other two main ingredients are also very rare, compared to the "Phantom Grass", at least in the auction house, they are likely to appear in some every ten years or so.
By then, Li Yan should have recovered almost completely. He would have made his final contribution to the sect and fulfilled a wish. With one less worry, he would be able to overcome the tribulation with peace of mind.
After Yu Banjiang left, Li Yan took out the token, injected magic power into it, and activated the formation restriction.
He couldn't use his spiritual sense, so of course he couldn't transmit information to Yu Banjiang through the token, so he had to bring up what he needed to say to the other party in person.
Although Li Yan was worried about the formation restrictions here, there was nothing he could do. The situation would definitely not be worse than before.
One day later, Li Yan put down the book in his hand and looked at the pile of jade slips and books on the ground in front of him. He could only smile bitterly.
He was just pretending to have those jade slips, and he had no ability to check them. However, through the records in those classics, he also learned a lot more things. The fairy world was only divided into four major realms, and there were no other small realms.
Moreover, there are no obvious small area divisions within the four realms. There are just many sects and ethnic groups, and their scope is divided according to the expansion of the forces under their jurisdiction.
There are seven strongest sects in the Northern Pastoral Territory. They are truly super sects, and there are definitely cultivators of the combined state among them, and there may even be cultivators of the tribulation-crossing and Mahayana stages.
However, the records of this in the classics that Yu Banjiang brought were ambiguous and uncertain.
A sect like the Pojun Sect that has Nascent Soul cultivators is at best a fourth-rate sect here.
Even if the Nascent Soul ancestor of that sect is not good at fighting, it is possible to be compared with some inferior sects with only Golden Core in charge.
There are many sects in the immortal world whose main purpose is to seek immortality. They know the existence of the true immortal world and are even more eager for the endless lifespan of true immortals. Many people still like to seek the way to immortality wholeheartedly.
The "Pojun Gate" was established only two thousand four hundred years ago, which is not very long. It was founded by Shangguan Tianque and another Nascent Soul.
However, Li Yan could not find the name of the other Nascent Soul cultivator in the historical records.
There were a total of ten Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, but Shangguan Tianque told Li Yan that there were only two Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect. Li Yan didn't understand this.
He felt that more detailed information might be recorded in the jade slip, but he was unable to view it.
"Pojunmen" is a small sect located on the edge of "Tianyao Grassland". It is about 50,000 miles away from "Tianyao Grassland".
For the immortal world where Nascent Souls and Divine Incarnations are as numerous as dogs, this distance is almost nothing. Even if a Jindan cultivator has a superior flying magic weapon, he can reach the grassland in just a few days.
Even though there is a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge of the sect, the area under the jurisdiction of the "Pojun Sect" is about 30,000 miles. There are dozens of sects of all sizes in the surrounding areas, but there are only a few fourth-rate sects like the "Pojun Sect".
Among them is a third-rate sect called the "Blood Lamp Sect", which is the overlord within a million miles around, and has five powerful people in the God Transformation Realm.
Small sects like the Pojun Sect, which are affiliated with him, have to hand over an astonishing number of spirit stones to the Xuedeng Sect every year, otherwise they will be severely punished or even exterminated.
The "Blood Lamp Sect" is responsible for dealing with foreign invading forces, while also managing all large and small sects within its jurisdiction and balancing the forces of all parties.
The Immortal Realm is an independent and vast space, and the cultivators here can also ascend to the upper realm - the True Immortal Realm.
Not all people born in the fairy world are born with spiritual roots. There are also mortals here, and their number is also huge.
However, in comparison, the number of mortals here is still far less than that of immortal cultivators, and there are no dynasties or kingdoms for mortals.
The mortals in the fairy world are all servants driven by the immortal cultivators.
Except for some people who are doing extremely hard and tiring work, most mortals will be given some low-level spiritual tools and magic weapons by the cultivators under their jurisdiction, allowing them to do things that only low-level cultivators can do.
There are also some young and beautiful mortal women who, although unable to practice cultivation, are willing to take advantage of their youth and beauty to become concubines of cultivators in exchange for the elixir of immortality they dream of.
Although they will not achieve true immortality in the end, the spiritual energy in the fairy world is extremely rich. Even the spiritual energy in some remote places is several times stronger than that in the lower world.
Therefore, even if the mortals here are unable to practice cultivation, they can usually live to be one hundred and fifty years old.
If he gets some more nourishment from elixirs, it is possible that he could live to be three hundred years old, which is even longer than the lifespan of the foundation-building cultivators in the lower realm.
By the same token, the lifespan of cultivators of all levels here is longer than that of cultivators in the lower realms.
A cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage can live four to five hundred years old, and a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage can even live to about five thousand years old, which is many times longer than the cultivators in the lower realms. This is determined by the laws of heaven and earth here.
Once Li Yan's body is cleansed with the "Immortal Liquid", he will also be protected by the laws of this world, and his life span will increase exponentially. This is another reason why cultivators in the lower realm want to ascend, so that they will have more time to practice.
However, it is very difficult for the cultivators here to go down to the mortal world, mainly because the laws of heaven and earth in the fairy world are higher than those in the lower world.
The cultivators here have already had this power integrated into their bodies. Once they go down, they will be repelled by the laws of heaven and earth below.
Of course, if you have the ability to control the powerful force of the laws of heaven and earth, you can still return to the mortal world by concealing your senses of the rules.
This is basically what Li Yan can see.
After learning this, Li Yan fell into deep thought for a moment. He was analyzing the authenticity of the news and whether he could get more useful information from it, so as to further formulate his own plan.
Of course, he wanted to return to the mortal world, at least to pass on the message. But according to the records, he felt deeply helpless about the idea of returning to the underworld.
He had already asked Yu Banjiang and Shangguan Tianque about these things in a vague way. When the two learned that Li Yan had such thoughts, they looked at Li Yan with strange eyes.
They had never imagined that there were people who, after surviving life and death, came to the fairyland and even wanted to return to the lower world.
Here, he can continue to practice and improve in the future. He will no longer be suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth and can display the power of a true cultivator. The other party's strange idea is really a bit puzzling.
But afterwards, the two of them explained to Li Yan that after staying in the fairyland for more than three days, the aura of the rules here had already grown in his body.
Therefore, Li Yan felt that there was something wrong with his soul and he was slowly being repelled by a force. That was the aura produced by two different rules of heaven and earth in his body, which were conflicting with each other.
This process usually takes about a year to complete. After all, the power of the rules of heaven and earth here is endless, while the power of the rules of the lower realm in the body is just rootless water.
However, if there is no "Immortal Liquid" for assimilation, even the soul will be expelled from the body, so it is necessary to assimilate the soul and spirit.
Even if Li Yan wanted to go back now, it was impossible. Moreover, to go to the lower realm, he still had to go through ordinary space nodes. In his half-dead state, he could forget about it.
The most urgent task is to restore his strength first. After half a year, he must use the "Immortal Liquid" to calm his soul.
Afterwards, Li Yan entered into a state of retreat to practice!
Arctic continent.
A strange space, the scene here is very strange, the sky is like the scorching sun, but the ground under the feet is like the night, it is pitch black, as if the light from the sky cannot shine on it at all.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but the sky was white and the earth was dark the previous moment, and the next moment, the sky suddenly became as dark as ink, while the ground beneath the feet was as bright as day.
Such light and shadow would change in every breath. People who were in it would soon have their consciousness turned upside down, feeling dizzy and unable to distinguish between heaven and earth and having no idea where they were.
Moreover, there are two forces in the space here, one is as light as the wind, and the other is as heavy as a mountain. These two forces will constantly change and reverse as the sky and earth alternate between black and white...
