"I will send a message to Master right away. Since Elder Li has come out of retreat, Master and the others must know about this matter. I think Master still has something to discuss with Elder Li."
Yu Banjiang said.
Li Yan had no objection to this. Originally, he wanted to have a good talk with Shangguan Tianque after coming out of seclusion.
At the same time, also make plans for your future plans.
Through some of the information he had learned about the fairy world, Li Yan felt that he would not be able to leave "Pojunmen" immediately, and should be more specifically in the Northern Pastoral World.
The Northern Pastoral Realm is too large. Yu Banjiang and the others would not deceive me about the boundary issue. I will know this once I check.
Therefore, after he understood the situation of "Pojun Gate", he began to determine the surrounding environment, and then expanded it to have a general understanding of the entire Northern Pastoral Realm.
Only in this way can you lay the foundation for your future search for the "Wangliang Sect" or the "Gui Yi Xianmen".
During this period, Li Yan was also thinking about how to contact the lower world. This was the most urgent thing he wanted to do. People could not go to the lower world, and the message had to be passed on.
Therefore, he may not have much time to practice for a period of time, as there are many things to deal with.
For example, if you can find the Wuliang Sect, the ancient wine flag there may have a connection with the incarnation in the lower world; or if you can find "Returning Home"...
In just half a cup of tea time, when Li Yan, who was chatting with Yu Banjiang in the cave, suddenly raised his head, he sensed two faint and powerful auras appearing and falling rapidly towards his cave.
Seeing Li Yan like this, Yu Banjiang immediately had some guesses. In the short period of time just now, Li Yan asked him to introduce some of the situations of "Pojunmen" in the years since that battle.
On that day, Li Yan had roughly listened to Yu Banjiang's talk about the dispute with the "Dragon-Qinning Sect", so after killing one and injuring another on the other side, he could actually roughly guess the outcome.
But those were just his guesses after all. Now when he heard Yu Banjiang say that the territory of the "Qinlong Sect" had completely been returned to the "Pojun Sect".
Moreover, in that battle, the last Nascent Soul of the opposing sect died along with the sect, and after dying in battle from exhaustion, he sighed slightly in his heart.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there is no such thing as good or bad, justice or evil. Everything is for one's own survival, the development of one's sect, and to obtain as many cultivation resources as possible.
Even in the Immortal Realm, there are still not enough cultivation resources to distribute. The only way is to keep robbing, snatching, killing, and slaughtering...
The "Pojun Gate" is actually also robbing other people's resources, but he entered the "Pojun Gate" by accident. What grudge does he have with Mang Yan and others
According to Ban Jiangkou, the "Pojun Sect" has grown a lot in recent years, and currently there are people in all realms who are in seclusion to break through, and there are several people in the Jindan realm who are trying to break through to the Yuanying realm.
The overall advancement speed of this kind of sect is much faster than that of the sects in the lower realms!
"Hehehe... Congratulations to Elder Li on recovering from his injuries!"
Along with a clear laugh, two figures came side by side. After landing, they slowly stepped into Li Yan's cave.
Li Yan stood up to greet him with a smile on his face.
Yu Banjiang immediately stepped aside and stood with his hands hanging down.
A young couple came in. The man was wearing a yellow shirt and had a tall figure. He was only slightly shorter than Li Yan, but his appearance was much better than Li Yan's.
His face was as handsome as a jade, his eyes were like stars and his brows were like swords. When he walked, he looked indescribably otherworldly and elegant. However, when Li Yan restrained his aura, he looked more like a peddler.
Beside Shangguan Tianque was a beautiful woman in a loose red dress that trailed on the ground. She had eyes like cold stars, fair skin, and skin whiter than snow.
She has three thousand strands of black hair, and she simply uses a hairpin to tie up part of her hair. The black hair is like a waterfall, scattered casually behind her back, giving people the feeling of a female hero in the martial arts world.
This was the second time Li Yan met the other party. The last time, Li Yan just glanced at him and did not speak to him.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shangguan. I, Li, would like to express my gratitude to the sect for protecting me over the years!"
Li Yan also smiled and bowed to the two of them.
Then, with a simple sweep of his spiritual sense, he was able to see the cultivation base of the two people. They were both in the late Nascent Soul stage, and they were veteran Nascent Souls who had been immersed in this realm for a long time.
Unlike me, I have only entered the late stage for a few decades.
While Li Yan was sizing up the other person, Shangguan Tianque and the other two were also sizing up Li Yan.
Although Shangguan Tianque had guessed Li Yan's cultivation level before, he could not be sure of his true realm because Li Yan was injured at the time.
Now, after observing it carefully, I am sure of it.
"It's really the middle stage of Yuanying!"
After Li Yan came out of retreat, he still concealed his cultivation level, and only showed it in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. This was his usual practice.
In his opinion, there is no such thing as hiding something. The key is to always keep a trump card in mind so that he will feel comfortable.
If the other party can detect it, that is their ability.
"Ren Yanyu greets Elder Li! Elder Li is too modest. Last time, I have to thank you for your timely action, which helped our sect survive the disaster!"
The beautiful woman in red glanced at Li Yan and then bowed to him.
Although she and Shangguan Tianque both realized that Li Yan's realm was lower than theirs, they were even more respectful to Li Yan.
The combat power of this humanoid beast is so fresh in people's memory that even after all these years, they still remember the scene when Li Yan suddenly appeared. It was the moment when a peerless ferocious beast came to the world.
It was not until this time that Li Yan knew the name of another Nascent Soul ancestor of the "Pojun Sect".
"Her name does match her appearance, and it has a sense of being free and easy."
Li Yan was thinking in his heart, and at the same time, he just smiled and said nothing in response to the other party's praise.
Shangguan Tianque glanced at Yu Banjiang at this time and nodded to the disciple.
"Banjiang, if you're alright, we have something to discuss with Elder Li!"
Yu Banjiang bowed quickly.
"Master, just now Elder Li saw that my disciple was injured, so he checked me out. He said that it might be possible to cure my soul injury?"
Yu Banjiang knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay here any longer, so he immediately said what he wanted to say.
"Oh? Elder Li has a way to cure Banjiang's hidden illness?"
When Shangguan Tianque heard this, a gleam of light immediately appeared in his eyes.
Among all his disciples, his favorite is Yu Banjiang, who was brought up by him. He is honest, reliable, and has his own opinions.
He and Ren Yanyu both had several disciples, and they had other disciples who had already been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, a total of three people. However, they had all died in the great battles for the sect, which made the two of them feel very sad.
When Yu Banjiang was trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage for the first time, he had great hope. However, two years before his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, his senior disciple Ren Yanyu, with whom he had a Taoist companion agreement, died.
It has been less than twenty years since Ren Yanyu's eldest disciple reached the Nascent Soul stage. Yu Banjiang was originally confident that he would also reach the Nascent Soul stage. He told him that he would reach the Nascent Soul stage within sixty years, and they would become Taoist partners then.
Unfortunately, all of this became a mirage with the death of the eldest disciple Ren Yanyu.
Soon afterward, Yu Banjiang began to strive for the Nascent Soul Realm ahead of schedule, but ultimately failed at the "Heart Demon Tribulation" stage!
Shangguan Tianque knew that Yu Banjiang's state of mind was the problem, but for any cultivator, you can't help with state of mind. After the first breakthrough failed, it was difficult to break through again. This was a big blow to Banjiang. He wanted to avenge his Taoist partner after the success of the infant formation, but the result was disappointing.
From then on, Yu Banjiang became more and more silent. In the end, he would rather clean the "Heart Sutra Pavilion" floor by floor every day than meet outsiders.
Especially after so many years, the second breakthrough failed again, which made Yu Banjiang almost despair, but the belief in revenge supported him to try again.
Shangguan Tianque could only let him do it, but he and Ren Yanyu also knew one problem.
Although Yu Banjiang has begun to accept the death of his Taoist partner after these years of settling down, his soul is injured and the chance of a breakthrough is very slim.
"Oh, I noticed some injuries on Daoist Fellow Yu's soul..."
Li Yan simply repeated what he had said to Yu Banjiang before, and Ren Yanyu's beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.
After Li Yan finished speaking, it was Ren Yanyu who spoke first this time.
"Ban Jiang, this is your chance. Fan Zhu has passed away a long time ago, and it's time to let go of the past. If you are destined to be together, you will definitely be able to wait for her to appear again in one of her reincarnations in the future.
Besides, you are unwilling to enter reincarnation and lose your memory, so there is no need to hesitate any longer."
There was also a flash of regret in Ren Yanyu's eyes. Her eldest disciple was also a pain in her heart. Whenever she thought of him, she felt sad.
Every time I look at Yu Banjiang's face now, I realize that he has aged to such an extent. The young man who was full of vigor and vitality has long become a little vague in my memory.
"I didn't expect that Elder Li is also proficient in soul cultivation. This is really surprising."
Shangguan Tianque also spoke at this moment, with surprise in his tone.
Li Yan said that his good friend practiced this way. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the fact that the other party was able to detect problems with the "Earth Soul" and "Human Soul" was something they could not do.
This matter can be verified later. As long as Yu Banjiang's soul leaves his body, we can see whether the two souls really overlap. Just by looking at the expression on Li Yan's face, we can guess that he should be quite confident.
There was no need for the other party to lie on this point, especially since Yu Banjiang was only a Jindan cultivator. To Li Yan, as long as there was no blood feud between the two parties, he would not be qualified to be a soul slave.
In their opinion, Li Yan is a powerful physical cultivator, a violent cultivator known for his powerful fighting skills. It is really impressive that he is proficient in the methods of magic cultivators.
"It was a chance encounter, and I just happened to have a talisman in my hand!!"
Li Yan has always been clear about gratitude and grudges. He would certainly not be stingy in helping Yu Banjiang, so he did not want to say more on this issue.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please see when you have time later. Can we heal Banjiang's wounds?"
Shangguan Tianque was no longer polite.
"Let him go back and adjust his aura to the best condition. It will probably be ready in three days!"
Li Yan saw that Yu Banjiang was not in the best condition. Yu Banjiang had been busy sorting out the herbs recently and was indeed in poor condition. He should be able to fully recover after three days of meditation.
After Yu Banjiang left, the three of them sat down. At this time, the conversation between them became much more casual.
However, since Li Yan didn't know much about the fairy world, it was mostly this pair of brothers and sisters who told him about it. Soon, Li Yan also knew the exact origin of the "Pojun Gate".
Both Shangguan Tianque and Ren Yanyu were born in small immortal cultivation families. Shangguan Tianque was much older than Ren Yanyu and they had known each other since childhood.
The relationship between the two families has always been good, but later the ancestor of the Ren Yanyu family died unexpectedly, and soon the Ren family fell into decline.
So at that time, Shangguan Tianque wanted Ren Yanyu to take shelter in the Shangguan home, but Ren Yanyu was not willing to live under someone else's roof and insisted on practicing outside.
Shangguan Tianque, who was still in the Jindan stage, made a decision shortly afterwards. He left the family and finally joined forces with Ren Yanyu to travel and gain experience.
The two of them had experienced countless lives and deaths, but even when they were on the brink of death, they never abandoned each other.
In this life-and-death adventure, the two of them joined forces to resist the enemy more and more tacitly. Even in the most dangerous moments, they were able to survive and survive. They were called "Po Jun" by the two...
"I was wondering why I saw Ren Yanyu, she always looked like a gangster. It turns out she worked her way up from the bottom..."
Li Yan thought in his heart that if one looked closely, Shangguan Tianque also had the unruly aura of a man of the world.
He couldn't help but admire these two people in his heart. They broke out of his sect together and had a bloody journey.
Li Yan felt that even in the fairy world, if these two people had very good skills, they would not be inferior to the so-called ascended cultivators from the lower world. They would definitely be ruthless people who could kill people across levels.
Li Yan was not very interested in establishing a sect, but he envied the other two for their loyalty for thousands of years.
Thinking about myself again, I originally thought that after Zhao Min and Gong Chenying both formed their infants, the three of them would ascend to the upper realm together. But in the end, it turned out to be like this now, separated from each other in different places.
During the conversation between the two parties, although Shangguan Tianque still wanted to inquire about Li Yan's background, when he saw that Li Yan was unwilling to talk more, he and Ren Yanyu looked at each other and gave up the idea of asking.
After what Li Yan did last time, they actually didn’t care too much about Li Yan’s background anymore, they were just curious.
"After Elder Li made his move last time, our upper sect, the Blood Lantern Sect, learned of Elder Li's methods and asked me to speak on their behalf, hoping to have a meeting with Elder Li.
It's just that Elder Li has been in retreat, so we haven't been able to tell you about this. Now that you have come out of retreat, I will pass on the words of the sect to you."
Seeing that other matters had been discussed almost thoroughly, Shangguan Tianque started talking about another matter.
Just as he said this, Ren Yanyu's beautiful eyes immediately fell on Li Yan's face.
Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, but quickly regained his composure.
"I don't think it's necessary. I only succeeded in that battle by a surprise attack!"
Li Yan said calmly, what is the "Blood Lantern Sect"? With his personality, he didn't want to attract anyone's attention before confirming his surroundings.
When Shangguan Tianque and the other man heard this, they looked at each other in surprise. They had never expected that Li Yan's refusal would be so straightforward.
In their opinion, Li Yan would at least hesitate after learning about the situation.
But looking at Li Yan's expression, it didn't seem fake at all. Moreover, if the other party had other ideas, there was no need to say such words. He could just go over and take a look. They couldn't stop him.
This made the two men's prepared speeches and painful sacrifices useless for a moment.
"Elder Li, this is the Blood Lantern Sect..."
Shangguan Tianque was a little unsure.
"Haha, if you two think it's a good idea for me to go over there, then I'll go over and take a look!"
Li Yan glanced at the two of them with a half-smile.
"Oh... Oh, no no no, it's what we all want Elder Li to stay in the sect!!"
Shangguan Tianque waved his hands quickly. Since the other party had spoken so bluntly, they were of course delighted!
Afterwards, they began to discuss Li Yan's role as the sect elder and related matters.
