When Shangguan Tianque saw his junior sister's reaction, he reached out and patted her shoulder gently, signaling her not to be angry.
"Of course. Have you asked Ban Jiang? He was the one who asked the other party to take action. Did Elder Li say anything else? Or did the other party leave any words before he went back to seclusion?"
When Li Yan suddenly attacked, they also had a spiritual consciousness that fell with him, and also swept over Yu Banjiang who was stunned near Li Yan's cave.
At that time, he guessed that it was his disciple who went to look for Li Yan. Although they each had other disciples, only Yu Banjiang knew of Li Yan's existence.
Moreover, he can make any sacrifice for the sect. At the critical moment, he can go to find Li Yan who is recovering from his injuries. He is fully capable of doing such a thing.
"Having already searched halfway across the river, he just sent a message to Elder Li, trying to ask if he could make a move. The other party only asked if he could kill someone, then he ascended, descended, and closed the door!
In the end, I didn’t put forward any conditions, I just said don’t bother him unless it’s necessary, that’s all.”
The woman in red said helplessly, the more Li Yan acted like this, the more she didn't know what he was thinking. Now the "Blood Lamp Sect" wanted to recruit her, which made her even more uncertain.
She was worried that after Li Yan knew about it, he would suddenly ask for a huge amount of money, and leave immediately if he didn't get what he wanted. The conditions they offered could certainly not be compared with those of the "Blood Lamp Sect".
"That's fine. When he comes out of retreat next time, we will pay him a visit in person. I will also send a message to the Blood Lantern Sect to let them know that Elder Li is still in retreat and is not seeing anyone."
Shangguan Tianque was delighted. His junior sister had personally gone over to deliver the message, but Li Yan was unwilling to come out. If the Blood Lamp Sect asked again, he could say that Li Yan was in seclusion and did not want to see anyone.
"Then... then, will we really tell Elder Li about this?"
The woman in red said with some concern, the breeze blew her hair, her face was so stunning that it captivated everyone.
"I have to say it, otherwise, once he knows about this in the future, he will be furious! However, Junior Sister, you don't have to worry. Although I have only met him twice, I can feel that he is a man of his word.
Ban Jiang saved his life, and we also provided him with the 'Immortal Liquid', so he should be able to appreciate these favors!"
Shangguan Tianque said softly, but although he was trying to comfort the woman in red, he was actually not very sure in his heart, people's hearts are not the same as before! !
"We have also seen some monks from the lower realms. They are very powerful, but not so ridiculously strong. His injuries should not have healed yet, right? Or has he almost recovered?"
The woman in red had long wanted to find someone to help her judge Li Yan's strength, but Shangguan Tianque was not there, and Li Yan did not see her, so she could not detect the other party's breath at close range.
In her heart, she kept weighing how strong Li Yan was. On the one hand, she was indeed curious, but on the other hand, only after knowing Li Yan's strength clearly could she make the best use of this person for the sect.
After all, Li Yan was still just a guest elder, and the woman in red still had some leeway for him and wanted to take advantage of him.
“There is no doubt that he is more than 80% a physical cultivator. I believe that Junior Sister can also see this. However, there is no doubt that the cultivators from the lower realms are very strong. They are definitely stronger than many cultivators of the same level.
However, in that battle, he still mainly used surprise attacks, and Mang Yan and his men had not expected this situation at all, so the current situation has occurred..."
Immediately, the two brothers and sisters started to discuss, and soon they talked about the matter of "Qinlong Sect" again.
Although we accidentally occupied the other party's territory, it would be a headache to defend it next...
Time waits for no one. White clouds pass over the mountains, and in the blink of an eye, six years have passed since the great battle between "Pojunmen" and "Qinlongzong".
On this day, in Li Yan's retreat room, Li Yan's face was pale, and his clothes were soaked, as if they had been washed with water.
But at this moment, he was holding an exquisite small jade bottle in his hand.
Li Yan was looking at the exquisite jade bottle in his hand while breathing heavily. At this moment, the severe pain coming from his sea of consciousness made his body tremble uncontrollably.
He could endure this kind of pain, but he did not deliberately try to control the unnatural shaking of his body.
If every thought is like a fragile string, then right now someone is holding a blunt saw and pulling it bit by bit...
"Fortunately, I haven't tried it for so many years. Finally, I succeeded in one go."
Li Yan, whose face was pale, gasped violently for a long time before the pain slowly faded from his mind, but he still felt a little scared.
During these decades, he had thought about using his spiritual power to try to open the "Earth Spot" as quickly as possible, but in the end he forced himself to suppress the idea.
Until recently, he tried to use his spiritual sense to explore it bit by bit. Although there was still pain in his sea of consciousness, the pain had been reduced by more than half compared to before.
For several days, Li Yan was still hesitant. He continued to endure the severe pain and extended his spiritual consciousness bit by bit to continuously confirm the result.
Finally, the current strength of spiritual awareness and the stability of the sea of consciousness were confirmed.
Li Yan then practiced well for another ten days. Today, when his Guishui Sutra stopped running, he quickly extended his spiritual power without any hesitation and communicated with the "Earth Spot".
At the moment when the "Earth Spot" was opened, a heart-wrenching pain came from the depths of his mind.
Li Yan groaned, and had almost no time to see the situation inside the "earth spot". He probed into the position that had been determined long ago with his spiritual sense, and quickly rolled out an exquisite small jade bottle.
At the moment when the small jade bottle just reached his palm, the consumption caused by activating the "Earth Spot" and the wisp of spiritual consciousness that he had finally condensed instantly dissipated.
Li Yan felt a black screen before his eyes and he almost fainted. His whole body was shaking while sitting cross-legged.
He gasped for breath, and it was not until half a quarter of an hour later that the scene in front of Li Yan's eyes returned to normal, and the severe pain in his sea of consciousness slowly subsided.
After calming himself down, Li Yan carefully opened the cork of the bottle. Immediately, a refreshing fragrance filled the entire room.
There is a bean-sized pill at the bottom of the bottle, emitting a soft purple light. There are lines of runes flowing on the surface of the pill, exuding a mysterious color. It is the "Zhenyuan Pill" that Li Yan has been reluctant to use.
"I hope it works, may Senior Pingtu bless you!"
At this time, Li Yan remembered Pingtu's evaluation of this pill. Although he had expectations in his heart, he was still nervous.
If the "True Essence Pill" doesn't work, he can only expose some of his injuries and see if Shangguan Tianque has any pills to heal his sea of consciousness.
As long as his consciousness is restored, he should at least have some means to protect himself when he is outside.
Otherwise, even if he wanted to go out and look for elixirs to cure his Nascent Soul, he himself would be like a deaf and blind man, and it would be very easy for others to plot against him.
After calming himself down, Li Yan immediately poured out the pill. The "Zhen Yuan Pill" was full of spirituality. Since Li Yan was unable to use his spiritual sense, he no longer felt the fear emanating from it.
But as soon as the pill fell into his palm, it immediately emitted a strong light, and the runes on it became clearer and clearer, as if it wanted to escape.
Li Yan snorted coldly, clenched his fist, and then threw it into his mouth...
Eight months later, Li Yan, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, the whole secret room was like a flash of lightning, and then it became bright and returned to normal.
Then, Li Yan's mind moved, and his spiritual consciousness appeared in the "earth spot" space in the next moment, and his spiritual consciousness swept across the sky and earth.
In an instant, scenes in the space flashed by at a high speed, and the desert in the far west, the white snow on the top of the mountain, and many members of the Snow Mosquito tribe appeared one by one.
The phantom transformed by Li Yan's spiritual consciousness stood in the void, looking quietly at the bottom. Qianji and Zikun were no longer here. Looking at those snow mosquitoes, Li Yan had a lot of thoughts for a while, and he just stood there quietly.
Monks live too long and experience too much killing and death, and it is said that they will become heartless and desireless.
However, the two monsters had been following Li Yan since he was building his foundation. After seeing the familiar scenery, Li Yan stood in the air for a long time.
"Congratulations, Master, on your great accomplishment..."
"Congratulations, Master!" The two voices only echoed in his mind, but the familiar breath and figure were gone!
Slowly, Li Yan's gaze shifted to the top of the mountain again. After the loss of Qianji, those snow mosquitoes might give birth to a new king over time, but maybe not.
This is because the most powerful snow mosquitoes there are all female, and are Qianji's concubines.
Li Yan did not intend to interfere forcibly. Everything could be handled by the Snow Mosquito Clan themselves. What he had to do was to find a way to contact the lower world. It would be best if he could go back and bring up everyone he could.
After looking at the top of the snow mountain for a while, there were indeed several powerful female snow mosquitoes there. Just like Qianji at the beginning, they were lying on the top of the snow mountain, dozing off.
After Li Yan thought about it, he moved his lips slightly, and then he saw the snow mosquitoes suddenly raised their heads, but the void was empty...
The "Zhenyuan Pill" was indeed as Pingtu said, an eighth-grade pill that could be called a "holy pill". It was effective for both refining the void and integrating the body, and was very effective in healing his injuries.
Li Yan's sea of consciousness has been completely restored. At the same time, his Nascent Soul has awakened under the powerful power of the medicine.
At the moment his Nascent Soul awakened, Li Yan's long-lost magic power returned like a tide, but his Nascent Soul was still very weak. Li Yan felt it and found that his magic power was only about 70% of its peak period.
"The True Yuan Pill still has a lot of medicinal power. Before it collapses, I need to let my Nascent Soul recover a little bit..."
Although he was not able to fully recover in one go, Li Yan was already very satisfied with it, as his Nascent Soul was seriously injured this time.
When Li Yan's sea of consciousness felt a little better, he immediately released his spiritual sense to explore. At that time, his Nascent Soul also absorbed a lot of powerful medicinal power.
But the situation of Nascent Soul still frightened Li Yan so much that he broke out in sweat!
In the space filled with red mist, Li Yan had no choice but to burn his infant fire. His Nascent Soul had shriveled up and was only 40% of its original size.
His body was covered with dark golden cracks, as if it would turn into golden water at any time. This was after the elixir repaired it, and it was not the first thing Li Yan saw.
The more Li Yan looked at it, the more frightened he became. He couldn't imagine whether his Nascent Soul had shattered at the slightest touch like his sea of consciousness before he used the elixir.
If this happened to any other cultivator, they would probably not even have time to wait for the elixir to recover, and their Nascent Soul would disappear in that red mist space, and their cultivation level might even drop sharply to the Foundation Establishment level.
This is the role of foundation building, and Li Yan is at the ninth level of "foundation building in front of the seat", the strongest and most stable foundation for cultivation among cultivators.
Therefore, it was a great blessing that his Nascent Soul was able to wake up in the end.
Finally, when his sea of consciousness was completely repaired, Li Yan did not plan to use the remaining medicinal power for cultivation, but to continue repairing his Nascent Soul.
“Senior Pingtu once said that this kind of elixir is extremely precious and rare even in the fairy world.
But at least it won't be like the lower world, where it's impossible to sell or auction it. I'll have to pay more attention to the news about this pill in the future, and try to prepare a few more..."
Li Yan was very satisfied with the effect of the "Zhen Yuan Dan". He didn't know what other similar "Zhen Yuan Dan" there were in the fairy world. Therefore, he still wanted to get some "Zhen Yuan Dan" first.
… …
Five years later, the door to the cave where Li Yan lived, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened on this day.
At this time, Yu Banjiang was standing at the gate with a strange look on his face.
Before, his token suddenly vibrated. He was sorting medicinal materials. After his spiritual consciousness sank into it, an expression of surprise appeared on his face. It was a message from Li Yan, asking him to come over.
In the past few years, Yu Banjiang has felt more and more emotional about Elder Li, whom he rescued.
The sect is now more powerful, with more disciples joining the sect, and there is a sense of prosperity in all aspects, and all of this is related to Li Yan.
However, his master and uncle-master had already given him a gag order. Before Li Yan came out of seclusion, he was not allowed to reveal any information about the other party at will, even to Yu Banjiang's several junior brothers and sisters.
The two knew Yu Banjiang's character too well. Once he opened his mouth to tell his fellow disciples, they might not be able to do everything properly, so they simply asked him to keep the matter completely secret.
Shangguan Tianque and the other person also had their own ideas and did not want others to know that Li Yan was injured.
Before Li Yan officially holds the ceremony of joining the sect, he can maintain a powerful mysterious fighting force, which will be more deterrent. The adverse consequences brought about by the expansion of their territory also require the deterrence of this mysterious power.
Fortunately, Yu Banjiang had brought Li Yan back using a spirit storage bag, and his cave was near the "Heart Sutra Pavilion". In addition, Yu Banjiang basically cultivated his state of mind in the "Heart Sutra Pavilion", so no one disturbed him at all.
"Friend Yu, please come in!!"
Just as the door opened, Li Yan's calm voice was heard.
After Yu Banjiang heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes. Li Yan's attitude was as polite as when he first woke up. His voice was still calm and he did not act like an elder.
Looking at the old man in yellow who came in, Li Yan frowned after taking a quick look with his spiritual sense.
When he woke up today, he felt that the sixty years he had promised was almost up. Although his Nascent Soul still had not fully recovered, his magic power had remained at about 80%.
Hence, he released his spiritual sense and scanned the area, and he could sense the aura of all the cultivators in the sect, including Yu Banjiang's.
However, he did not sense the aura of Shangguan Tianque and the other Nascent Soul cultivator. Li Yan guessed that the other party might have used a formation to conceal their aura.
He did not investigate further with his spiritual sense, but simply released and retracted it, and then directly transmitted the message to Yu Banjiang.
Looking at Yu Banjiang in front of him, Li Yan, now that his spiritual power has recovered, has already seen the other party's cultivation level, which is the False Infant Realm, but there is some deathly aura coming from his body.
"Disciple greets Elder Li!"
Yu Banjiang took a few steps forward and immediately bowed deeply. Li Yan was being polite to him, but he didn't dare to be so arrogant.
"Haha, don't be polite to me, Fellow Daoist Yu. I am here because you saved me before. Besides, I haven't officially entered the sect yet, so you can just call me Fellow Daoist."
After hearing what Li Yan said, Yu Banjiang's heart tightened and he quickly looked up.
"Why, Elder Li, do you want to leave?"
He was straightforward, and when he was thinking about it, he suddenly became anxious and blurted out the question. But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.
After hearing this, Li Yan's expression remained calm. He waved his hand and pointed to a chair beside him, indicating that the other party should sit down and talk.
He asked the other party to call him "fellow Taoist" and the other party insisted on using other names, which was up to him.
He realized that when he asked Yu Banjiang to call him "fellow Taoist", he might have misunderstood and thought that he didn't want to be the elder of "Pojun Sect" anymore.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, you have misunderstood. I just felt that I should have been in seclusion for sixty years, so I came out today. When I did a little research before, I did not find Fellow Daoist Shangguan, so I sent a message to you!"
After hearing what Li Yan said, Yu Banjiang felt relieved. He was really afraid that the other party would ask to leave as soon as his injury healed.
Although his sect had done Li Yan a favor, Li Yan's last move was actually a complete repayment of the favor. Otherwise, the "Pojun Sect" might have been destroyed.
He still did not sit down as he was told, but stood with his hands hanging down and answered Li Yan respectfully.
"Oh, that's Master and Uncle Master who are also practicing. Usually when they practice, they activate the restrictions, so their spiritual consciousness should not be able to find them. I will send a message to Master and them..."
