After Li Yan walked out of a store, his expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. After looking at the people walking on the street, he quickly entered another store.
Since the origin of the entire "Earth True Realm"'s skills basically comes from the Zhenhun Palace, what can be passed down is definitely not the other party's core skills, and the Zhenhun Palace will not allow that.
The various skills and soul techniques that appeared in the market town were basically other skills that the soul cultivators who were drawn here had collected, or skills that they had researched themselves.
Li Yan has not yet opened the two "Empty Shadows" and obtained the "Soul Crystal Buds" from Wu Lei and others. Due to the age limit, they can only be used to refine medicine and cannot be traded directly.
Then he could only plan to spend his spirit stones to buy more skills, and then study them carefully after combining them with some skills and soul techniques he obtained through soul searching.
His soul power has reached the level of the Nascent Soul Realm of soul cultivation. What he needs to do now is to improve the application of soul techniques as quickly as possible.
It would be better if you could buy powerful soul techniques, but if not, it would be equally powerful if you could practice basic soul techniques to a small or even great level of success.
When he was below the Jindan stage, the Guishui Xianmen only provided him with exercises, so Li Yangke had only basic techniques to practice.
Anyway, what he required was that during the assessment, a Nascent Soul Soul Cultivator would not have any problems even when performing basic soul techniques...
Three days later, Li Yan appeared in a place called "Broken Soul City".
In the "Soul-Breaking City", in a shop that rents out cave dwellings, a waiter was pointing at a map that appeared in the air and explaining it incessantly.
“… Senior, let’s take a look at this cave. It’s No. 4 Di Yi, and a cultivator just left this month.
The senior had rented here for four hundred years, and now he had successfully broken through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Senior, you said to choose a cave that is above average. This cave is really the best choice. The spirit gathering formation in this cave was personally engraved by Master Ming Ke..."
Li Yan listened to the other party's eloquent narration with a smile on his face, while observing other light spots on the map on his own.
This map shows the topography within a 20,000-mile radius of "Soul-Breaking City". The "Earth Realm" is only a little over 3 million miles in total. Generally speaking, the range that some forces can control is still limited.
Especially places with rich spiritual energy and abundant cultivation resources are coveted by many forces.
The scenery on the aerial map is exactly like a real mountain and water, with rivers and streams still flowing...
The trees and grass on the mountains seem to be swaying gently in the wind, creating a scene of green mountains and clear waters, full of vitality.
Including the scenery inside the Soul-Breaking City on the map, it is also lifelike, with even ant-sized people walking back and forth on it.
There are two colors of light spots flashing on the picture. The red color indicates that someone is already living there, and the white color indicates that the cave is vacant.
After Li Yan came in, he immediately explained that he needed to rent a cave, and the waiter immediately became enthusiastic.
After that, the other party began to recommend places to him one after another.
First, there were several caves in the city, and then there were the Tianjia caves outside the city. Li Yan only listened for a short while and then immediately interrupted the other party.
All the caves recommended by the waiter were expensive places, and the prices were so shockingly high that Li Yan was frightened.
A cave covering an area of fifty meters in the city would require two hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones in ten years. Even those Tianjia-level caves outside the city would not be much cheaper than those in the city.
After thinking about it, Li Yan immediately said that he only needed an above-average choice...
Listening to the other party's eloquent introduction, Li Yan suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the air. It was a white light spot on the map.
"How much is this cave house for rent?"
The guy who was introducing the things felt a chill in his heart when he saw the white light that Li Yan was pointing at.
That is a T-shaped cave, and its location is extremely remote, so the price is naturally much lower.
"Senior, didn't you say it should be above average? That's just a T-shaped..."
A quarter of an hour later, under the unwilling gaze of the shop assistant, Li Yan, holding a green token in his hand, left the "Soul-Breaking City" and flew towards the northwest of the city.
He flew for more than 10,000 miles and was even interrogated twice during the flight. Finally, he stopped while hovering over a low mountain.
Li Yan looked around. Apart from this short mountain that was only a hundred feet high, there was a large area of weeds and vegetation all around. A large area of hilly landforms stretched endlessly into the distance...
Within a hundred miles of this low mountain, there is a good concentration of spiritual energy, and the slopes of the mountain are also lush and green.
There is no river nearby, and there are endless weeds of various types, tall and short. Only the occasional echo of bird calls can be heard, making this place seem a bit cold and desolate.
But what Li Yan was attracted by was the remoteness and desolation of this place. The nearest cave was more than a thousand miles away from this cave, which made Li Yan feel quite satisfied.
Li Yan was not in a hurry to land. After observing carefully, he fell to the hillside of the mountain.
At the same time, he shook the token in his hand, and suddenly a large-scale defensive forbidden formation within a hundred miles of the low mountain was activated by him.
As Li Yan fell, a translucent passage with yellow light suddenly appeared in the tree canopy on the hill. Li Yan stepped into it...
After entering the cave, Li Yan immediately checked everywhere carefully again. Someone must have lived here before, so his main focus was to confirm whether there were any hidden formations here.
This cave is very spacious, about five or six hundred feet in size, and is entirely within the belly of the mountain. It contains all kinds of cave rooms.
However, Li Yan rarely made pills and weapons. He barely practiced any of the 100 arts of cultivating immortality, so he had no spare time at all. Besides, apart from Zi Kun and Qian Ji, he didn't raise many monsters or spiritual pets.
Those poisonous insects and snow mosquitoes also require a specific environment, so there is no need to take them out and put them here.
Especially now in the "Earth Realm", every time you use your spiritual sense to communicate with the storage space, it is an extremely tiring task.
Li Yan would not easily use his spiritual sense if he could avoid communicating with the storage space.
As a result, 80% of the rooms in this cave are basically useless to Li Yan.
After taking a look around, Li Yan took out "Mo Kai" and began to set up his own formation restrictions in the cave.
The advantage of renting a cave is that the spirit stones consumed daily for the formation restriction within a hundred miles outside are provided by the market.
Of course, generally speaking, the wool comes from the sheep. As long as it is not attacked, the daily operation of the formation does not require too many spirit stones.
A key reason for renting this place is that if someone attacks here, there will be monks to stop it, or even attack the attacker directly.
However, if someone has provoked an enemy and wants to rent a cave to resist the powerful enemy, the situation will be different.
However, if you explain the reason to the other party in advance, the forces behind the store will consider it and, once they agree, they will be able to help you, but the price will be quite high.
If the forces behind the market feel that it is not worth it and do not want to offend the other party, they will flatly refuse to rent the cave.
But if you have evil intentions and want to conceal the purpose of renting the cave, once something goes wrong later, the cultivator who rented the cave will be in trouble, and will face the double pursuit of enemies and the forces behind the market.
After Li Yan had arranged the cave, he felt satisfied. This time, he rented it for ten years and spent nearly 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones at once.
When Li Yan entered the training room, he immediately sat cross-legged on the cushion, then took out a soul tablet. After injecting soul power into it, some information soon emerged in the tablet.
Inside the soul tablet is a space that can be communicated with by soul power. Once the soul power enters, it can be used to engrave words and patterns inside.
If you want to obtain these contents, you can just use your soul power to probe into the space.
But in fact, it is not possible to "see" the contents inside, but to sense the traces left by the soul power, and to combine these traces by oneself to identify them. These traces can be patterns or can form words.
After Li Yan's soul power was absorbed, he began to study it carefully.
The soul tablet contains an introductory soul cultivation technique called "Soul Condensation Technique", which is the technique that Li Yan finally chose after searching in the market for several days.
This technique is about transforming the soul into a state of "spirit", that is, from invisible to visible, but the technique sold in the shop only has the cultivation levels from Qi Condensation to Spirit Transformation, and there is no subsequent technique.
According to the shop assistant, this subsequent technique may not have been created yet and should not be a fragmentary version.
When this technique is cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage, it can only transform into a smoke state. If it is condensed into a human form, its appearance cannot be seen clearly and it is very illusory.
However, he is now able to leave his main body and perform some soul techniques on his own.
For Li Yan, this is actually a very good skill.
At the same time, Li Yan bought some basic soul skills, which were basically attack and defense. Li Yan did not have time to practice those auxiliary soul skills.
He will practice these skills and soul techniques in comparison with the basic skills and soul techniques in the gray-clothed old man's memory.
Don’t think that these things can be easily bought in the market and may be easily lost. In fact, it is not the case.
Those foreign monks could not even enter the market town as the inspection was very strict. They might even be discovered and killed while approaching.
Looking at the formula of the technique, the soul power in Li Yan's body gradually changed, and he soon fell into the practice...
There is no time in cultivation. Time is like the wind, turning into a pond full of snow-white water, drifting with the current, until the leaves fall in autumn, turning into a lonely boat, and passing away again...
Eight years passed in a flash. On the top of the mountain behind Pojunmen, Shangguan Tianque, dressed in white, and Ren Yanyu, dressed in red, were standing side by side.
At this time, Ren Yanyu's aura was hidden, but it gave people a feeling as deep as the ocean. She had also successfully transformed into a spirit.
"Brother, there has been no news about Elder Li. Has he been captured by the 'Big Winged Golden Peng' clan
Dong Lin Tingyue only said that they were separated while being chased, but during this period, Elder Li also sent a message to the three of them.
Jia Fugui and the 'Dark Blazing Demon Dog' both communicated with Elder Li and responded to each other, but then lost contact.
Why did the three of them come back in the end, but Elder Li disappeared? I think this is too strange!"
Ren Yanyu said softly.
When she said these words, she lightly frowned her delicate eyebrows, but there was already dissatisfaction on her face.
She succeeded in becoming a spirit three years ago, and then immediately chose to go into seclusion to recover from her injuries. Shangguan Tianque did not inform her at that time and did not mention anything about Li Yan.
It was not until she came out of quarantine today that she learned about this matter. She immediately became worried and dissatisfied with the Donglin family.
The other party actually caused Li Yan to disappear, and the matter could not be explained.
According to the current strength of the Pojun Sect, if they launched an attack, without the support of the Blood Lantern Sect, the Donglin Family would definitely be easily destroyed.
