Li Yan looked around and saw Jia Fugui and Dong Lin Tingyue, who were indeed constantly scanning the surrounding environment. Especially Dong Lin Tingyue, who looked particularly concerned. She would probably have to participate in the snatching battle in the future.
"Note the topography of the area with the 'Big Fruitless' tree. It is indeed as Chong Yangzi said. This opportunity is really rare for them.
The most difficult thing for outsiders to obtain "Da Wuguo" is how to find the entrance from the desert lake, which is only in the hands of Chunyang Hall.
Although it seems that we can enter easily, there may be strong men from Chunyang Hall guarding near the entrance, but I just didn't notice it.
The purpose of this trip to Fuling Villa and Tianshan Garden is to use the flying boat as a cover. If they succeed, they will fly out directly from the exit using the flying boat.
If someone from Chunyang Hall was guarding the entrance, they would have seen Chunyangzi on the flying boat when they came in, and they would probably not have checked carefully when they left... "
Li Yan thought of a lot of things in an instant, and his guess might be part of the plan of the female cultivator named Yuan!
Next, they had a smooth journey and quickly crossed the desert and canyon.
Among the three of them, Jia Fugui was particularly fond of the scene before him, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.
Once upon a time, in these places, they had to try their best, fighting bloody battles day and night, and only then could they pass through these areas.
There are even many people who never see tomorrow's sunrise and fall on this road. Every moment, they are trying their best to move forward a little further.
No matter how hard he thought, he would never have thought that there would come a day when he could fly through these areas so quickly and directly to the final destination...
When Li Yan looked down at the increasingly dense forest, he knew he was almost at his destination.
The so-called "large fruitless" tree area actually refers to a large area after the "bone-dissolving wind" is gone.
There is only one real "big fruitless" tree, and even if the distance of its outstretched branches is taken into account, its total size is only about 70 to 80 feet.
Looking at a big tree that stretched out obliquely from the edge of a cliff in front of him, like a lone sword piercing straight into the sky, Li Yan observed carefully.
The big tree slanted out from the cliff, surrounded by a large area of smooth rocks and an endless abyss below.
It is rooted in the rocks, with large areas of roots exposed outside the cliff. Apart from two thick and twisted roots that look weathered, many thin roots even hang in the air, scattered like thin vines.
When a strong wind blew, the whole tree swayed violently.
When people see the large exposed roots, they feel that the tree trunk is simply unable to support itself and stretches out diagonally.
I just felt like this big tree might be blown away or broken by its roots at any moment.
Although the branches of the "Big Fruitless" tree have many twigs, its leaves are not lush. You can see that most of the branches are bare.
When the mountain breeze blows through the treetops, the branches sway, making either a heavy humming sound or a sharp whistling sound.
Among some leaves, there are four meatball-sized fruits with green whiskers, which are constantly flashing green light.
Especially when the tree trunk was blown by the mountain wind and the entire trunk shook violently, the green light flashing outside the four green fruits became even brighter.
Like four hanging green lanterns, swaying in the wind, swinging back and forth!
The more violently the four green fruits swayed, the brighter the green light emitted from their surface became.
Li Yan's heart was shaken as soon as he saw it.
In the light on these green fruits, there were actually runes that he could not understand, flowing and wandering in the green light.
Even though he couldn't understand these runes, at first glance, it was as if a string deep in Li Yan's heart was suddenly plucked.
The moment the "strings" in his mind vibrated, Li Yan felt for a moment that he was deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.
The magic power in Li Yan's body suddenly began to flow slowly, as if it was affected by some rules.
The Nascent Soul figure in the Dantian suddenly opened his eyes. Colorful light shone in his eyes, and the direction he was staring at was exactly one of the "Big Fruitless" ones.
The five elements of spiritual energy on the Yuanying figurine seemed to have breathing, flickering regularly, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
“These runes in the green light are the natural rules generated by heaven and earth. In these natural rules, you can find different runes of any attribute.
There are so many runes with different attributes, and they are constantly flowing and moving without any conflict or mutual exclusion.
Even on the surface, it can't be seen that they are arranged according to the five elements of mutual generation and mutual restraint, but they are just squeezed together, but flow along a certain route...
This fruit contains a more powerful force of rules, which binds these runes of different attributes together. The Great Nothingness Fruit... The Great Nothingness... The Great Dao creates all things, and something is created out of nothing!"
When Li Yan saw those runes, he immediately felt a sense of induction in his body. He couldn't help but think of the information about "Da Wuguo", but it was not until he saw it with his own eyes that he was truly shocked.
"Those green lights also have extremely strong spiritual fluctuations. It is these green lights that prevent the fruit from falling easily and also protect the fruit!"
When Li Yan's spiritual sense reached one of the fruits, as soon as his spiritual sense reached the front of the mountain, it was pushed away by a huge force.
The layer of green light on the outside of the fruit is already extremely extraordinary. It can defend itself against being eaten by ordinary third-level monsters. This is a rare fruit without any intelligence, and it is extremely difficult to obtain.
However, in the view of Chunyang Hall, such defense is obviously not enough.
As Li Yan walked along the way, he could feel the presence of many monsters below, but none of them were level four or above.
However, under the attraction of "Big Fruitless", the greed in the hearts of these monsters will only arouse more ferocity, and with desperate and crazy attacks, it is still possible to break through the green light and pick the fruit.
But now, the mountain where the "Big Fruitless" tree grows is covered by an invisible formation. Although it can be seen, even a spirit-transforming cultivator cannot enter.
Needless to say, this is the method used by Chunyang Hall.
Li Yan actually knew about this formation. Every time the "Great Fruitless" snatch battle began, the participating cultivators would receive a set of temporary spells.
Therefore, if they really fought their way through, the danger they would encounter would not be in breaking this formation, but in the fierce collision with other cultivators.
Once the snatch battle is over, notaries like Chong Yangzi will trigger changes in the core formation, leading to changes in the combination of large and small sub-formations again.
If you want to enter again, you will need a new set of spells.
At this moment, as the magic spells in Chongyangzi's hands were released, an invisible ripple spread out on the mountain peak.
"Okay, the three of you come with me and take a look!"
While Chong Yangzi was speaking, he had already jumped up from the deck. Li Yan and the other two had no objection to this.
Even Jia Fugui, who had participated in the robbery, had never seen "Da Wuguo" up close. He always put saving his life first.
The closer they got to the "big fruitless" tree, the more earth-shaking the fighting became, and the more murderous intent was lurking everywhere. Just the aftermath of the fight between the divine monks was enough to make Jia Fugui prefer to be a coward.
Soon, four figures stood on the cliff.
When Chong Yangzi was on the flying boat before, he breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw the four "Big Fruitless" missiles.
This shows that the female cultivator surnamed Yuan and her group have no other way to sneak in here, and there are still no loopholes in the defense of this area.
With a wave of his hand, he brought four green "big fruitless" fruits in front of him. Li Yan and the other three beside him were staring at the four fruits.
Just the runes in the green light made them have an irresistible urge.
Everyone has an idea in their mind: how great it would be if these fruits belonged to them.
Unfortunately, all these are just ideas. Even someone as meticulous as Li Yan couldn't think of any solutions along the way.
"You can't have your cake and eat it too." Since he didn't want to flee and chose to release Chong Yangzi, then the rest of the story would be under Chong Yangzi's control. But this time, he would need a few top-grade spirit stones, and after killing people on the flying boat, he also got a lot of things. Li Yan's trip was actually "seeking wealth and honor in danger."
However, the other Fugui, apart from being in danger, can only pray for follow-up, not to cause any more trouble and to save his life.
Chong Yangzi took a look at the four "Big Fruitless" and then looked into the distance. There was no more snatching and fighting, no more jealousy and dissatisfaction, and this place became so quiet.
"Each of you can take one. Although there is no fighting among the various sects this time, the outcome is even more dangerous. The three of you have all made contributions, otherwise the outcome would not be like this.
You deserve these three fruits. As for the others who died in the battle, I will consult the sect and give them corresponding compensation after I return."
Chong Yangzi suddenly said these words while looking into the distance.
Then, without waiting for the three shocked people to react, he flicked his sleeves lightly, and the three "Big Fruitless" pills trembled slightly and floated towards the three people behind him.
And the last "Big Fruitless" was collected by him.
"Senior, this... is this for us?"
"This... this 'big fruitless' thing for us?"
Jia Fugui and Dong Lin Tingyue were both startled, with shock and uncertainty mixed in on their faces and eyes.
Li Yan just looked at the "big fruitless" in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face, but he did not ask any further questions.
"Well, you keep the 'Big Fruitless'. I will report this matter to the Grand Elder, and after you go back, you don't have to hand over these three 'Big Fruitless' to the Blood Lantern Sect.
As for the result of this trial, no one except me and the sect's supreme elder knows where these three "big fruitless" pieces went. Do you know
By then, although other rewards will be given to you on the surface, the amount you actually receive will be greatly reduced!"
When Chong Yangzi said this, he had already turned around, and then his eyes swept across the faces of the three people one by one.
Li Yan was also startled at this time.
Now the three of them understood that Chong Yangzi had made an exception and awarded three "Big Fruitless" pills to the fourth-rate sect. This would never have happened in the past.
This time, it was obvious that Chong Yangzi had intentionally rewarded the three of them. He had asked them to survey the topography here just as a convenience.
And everything in front of them was the real reward from Chong Yangzi to the three of them.
Li Yan took a deep breath. He didn't expect Chong Yangzi to be so generous in the end and let him get what he wanted.
Moreover, he had thought it through so carefully. Although Li Yan was not afraid that his senior brother and sister Shangguan Tianque would know about it, it would of course be the best outcome if the Blood Lamp Sect didn't know about it.
Just as Li Yan reacted, the other two also reacted at the same time. Of course, they also understood what Chong Yangzi meant.
Don’t let outsiders know about this reward, otherwise they will bear the consequences themselves.
By then, if the Blood Lamp Sect knew the real reward the three people received, they might take it away.
After all, even a Divine Transformation cultivator from their sect died, and in the end they didn't even get a single 'Big Fruitless', so they would definitely not be happy about that.
As for the other sects, big and small, they may not say anything on the surface, but they are very likely to attack these three small sects in secret. These are the treasures that can give people hope of advancing to the Void Refining Realm.
Chong Yangzi was here and immediately stated the result of handling the matter. The fruit was actually given to the three of them, instead of asking them to hand it over to the Blood Lantern Sect after returning. It was considered the gain of this team this time.
Dong Lin Tingyue and Jia Fugui's eyes were filled with shock and surprise, but Li Yan never showed his emotions on his face, so he looked relatively calm.
The three of them did not study "Big Fruitless" carefully anymore and immediately put it into the storage space, because they could see that Chong Yangzi no longer wanted to stay here.
After obtaining the "Great Fruitlessness", the three of them can use it to advance to the Void Refining Realm in the future, or even use it in advance when there is no hope of advancing to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
But this would be such a waste. After all, the further you practice, the more difficult it will be to advance each time. They all understand the principle of using good steel on the blade.
Chong Yangzi did this, and even no one in the sect where Li Yan and the other two were located knew about it. So the "Da Wuguo" could be completely hidden by the three of them.
After confirming that the "Big Fruitless" tree was safe and sound, the four of them immediately boarded the flying boat again. Before leaving, Chong Yangzi added another layer of restriction on the outer layer of the mountain.
Chong Yangzi knew that due to the rebellion in Tianshan Garden and Fuling Villa, this place might not be open for another thousand years.
Before he reports back to the sect, this place must have an extra layer of protection.
More than ten days later, when Li Yan and his companions flew out of the void, they once again saw the lake in the desert.
This time, the flying boat did not leave immediately, but hovered above the lake.
Afterwards, Chong Yangzi told the three people not to wander outside the boat, and then he flew away alone.
He was gone for more than half an hour, and when he came back, his expression was still solemn, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
After just a brief encounter with the three people, he flew to the second floor of the flying boat alone.
Even Li Yan could not find his purple-gold python on the female cultivator named Yuan. It should be that there was a blood contract between the monster and Chong Yangzi.
Therefore, it would be very difficult to refine it again, and it should have been killed in the spirit storage bag by the female cultivator named Yuan.
So, they still controlled the flying boat and flew quickly towards Chunyang Hall!
More than ten days later, Li Yan and his companions arrived at Chunyang Hall again. As soon as Li Yan and his companions got off the flying boat, they were taken away by several cultivators who were waiting there.
Chong Yangzi was really nice to the three of them. He had secretly sent a message to the three of them. He had passed the news back to the sect. Li Yan might be personally questioned by a supreme elder, while Dong Lin and Ting Yue would have to undergo "Ming Lian Questioning the Heart".
As long as they are not lying, there is nothing to be afraid of...
Two days later, Chong Yangzi appeared again in front of a teleportation formation in Chun Yang Hall, and beside him were Li Yan and the other two.
Li Yan's face was calm. Although he did not accept the "Ming Lian Questioning Heart", being questioned by a powerful person in the Lianxu Realm was actually more dangerous.
But fortunately, Chong Yangzi really kept his word. He must have said a lot of good things to him and also guaranteed Li Yan with his own condition.
In the end, Li Yan was questioned carefully for an hour by the young man in the Void Refinement Realm who seemed to be only in his twenties, and then was allowed to go back.
However, Li Yan's own information was also carefully reviewed several times by Chunyang Hall, and Li Yan's identity as a cultivator who ascended from the lower world, as well as his powerful physical training combat ability, were also confirmed.
This prevented Chong Yangzi's guarantee from being questioned by others.
It was not until early this morning that Li Yan was brought here, and then he saw Chong Yangzi.
Chong Yangzi immediately nodded to him with a smile, but did not speak to him.
The moment Li Yan saw the teleportation array in front of him, he knew he could leave.
But why was Chong Yangzi here? He didn't understand. The other party had already repaid the favor, so he should have been sent away. This seemed like a farewell.
However, the other party did not say anything, nor did he intend to let him enter the teleportation array immediately, so Li Yan just stood aside, but he had other guesses in his mind.
Sure enough, just a few dozen breaths later, Dong Lin Tingyue and Jia Fugui were also brought over separately.
The expressions of these two people were relatively normal, but Li Yan could still sense that their auras were a little unstable, as if there was some fear in their hearts. He immediately thought of "Ming Lian Wen Xin".
Li Yan guessed that these two people might recall many horrific processes once they woke up after experiencing the "Ming Lian Questioning Heart".
Now, I'm afraid that every time these two think about it, they still have a great fear of "Ming Lian Questioning the Heart".
