When Li Yan heard this, his heart tightened again. This Master Lan was not done yet. The key point was that every question from the other party made Li Yan feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
"Please consult me, senior!"
Li Yan could only force a smile on his face and stood with his hands hanging down.
"Well, the soul arts performed by the souls in the formation are some instinctive attacks, and some are..."
Master Lan was very direct and immediately started asking again... However, after hearing the few questions Master Lan asked later, Li Yan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
These questions were only about his various feelings and judgments in the long alley after he broke through the level. Master Lan's focus was on her formation again.
After Li Yan relaxed a little, he thought carefully and gave answers one by one.
In fact, a lot of his answers were based on his experience in the underground alleys of the Soul Prison Clan.
Master Lan listened carefully to Li Yan's various responses, and occasionally, her purple eyes would light up.
After Li Yan answered a few questions, Master Lan did not ask again immediately. Instead, after thinking for a while, he looked at Li Yan with his purple eyes and suddenly made a request.
"Little Taoist friend, how do you think about this? You should also understand the rules of the sect. Each disciple has five tasks every hundred years.
I can issue a very high-level task, which is almost a level that only a cultivator at the Divine Transformation level can undertake.
Then, I will discuss with the Mission Hall and decide that only you can take on this mission, and it will be counted as the completion of your five missions in the past 100 years.
Although the content of the task is painful, it is definitely not dangerous. You just need to cooperate with me to study this formation for fifty years. Regardless of success or failure, you will be considered to have completed the task.
If you still need my cooperation after a hundred years, we can proceed to the next round of missions under these conditions. What do you think?"
Master Lan stared at Li Yan with burning eyes. She would not believe his answer just based on a few words from him.
What Li Yan said could only serve as some reference for her. If the other party could cooperate with her to study the formation, she could test it according to her own wishes, and that was what she needed.
First, one can make use of Li Yan's natural keen sense to constantly adjust the formation. This will be more effective than even finding a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm. This is true innate sense.
When a truly powerful person participates in the research, his cultivation is high and his sensitivity is stronger, but that is because his own cultivation is high and he is passively calling upon his own magic power and soul power to make judgments.
Moreover, even if we can find other powerful masters in the Void Refinement Realm to participate, there are only a few Void Refinement Realm souls left in the sect.
It is difficult to give her the money to squander like this. With the two combined supreme elders in seclusion, there is no one to support her.
But the souls in the Nascent Soul Realm are different. The sect has quite a few of them. Even if a few souls in the Spirit Transformation Realm are consumed every month, it is not a big problem. As long as you are willing to buy them, you can buy them at any time.
When Li Yan heard this request, he understood what Master Lan meant. He had sensed some problems with the opponent's formation while he was trying to break through the barriers.
Although Master Lan didn't know that she had seen the real forbidden formation, she still keenly felt something, that is, she would be of help to her.
At the same time, the transaction conditions proposed by the other party were actually very fair. Li Yan had previously guessed that the five tasks in a hundred years would definitely not be easy, and there might even be a risk to one's life.
But Li Yan would not agree to Master Lan, at least he was not willing to do this right now, as his soul cultivation level himself had problems.
Although his soul cultivation techniques and soul arts have improved, compared to real Nascent Soul cultivators who have practiced for hundreds of years, his performance when performing the techniques is still considered unfamiliar.
Once you are with such an old demon, the chances of loopholes being revealed are even greater.
Master Lan had a chance of discovering that he was not a soul cultivator. By then, his fate would be self-evident.
What he needed most now was to concentrate on his cultivation, at least to become a true Nascent Soul Realm soul cultivator, and to achieve the state where there would be no flaws in his every move.
Li Yan seemed to hesitate for a while before answering slowly.
“Senior Lan, the reason why I joined the Soul-Suppressing Palace is just as you can see. I am just a casual cultivator, and I have also discovered some of my own conditions.
However, due to the lack of resources for cultivation, despite my continuous cultivation, my realm only barely reached the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Therefore, it is not that the younger generation is ungrateful, but the most urgent thing for the younger generation now is to quickly improve their strength.
Therefore, I cannot help you for the time being. However, within a hundred years, I must complete five tasks. I will definitely consider this condition proposed by you first.
And by that time, the younger generation’s strength will have increased, and they will be able to exert the power of their souls even more!"
After Li Yan finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Master Lan.
Li Yan didn't want to go, but he didn't dare to offend the other party. This person was a powerful person in the Void Refinement Realm and should still be in the sect with a very high status.
A hundred years is not a long time for a monk, and it may pass in one retreat. Especially since he has five tasks restricted here, he must come out in the middle.
After Master Lan heard what Li Yan said, her eyes narrowed, and just as Li Yan was getting a little nervous, she slowly nodded.
"What you said makes some sense. The difference between your soul power and realm is indeed too great. If you continue like this, it would be a waste.
You can come to see me anytime after you come out of seclusion in the next hundred years. When you do, just go to the Fuchen Hall area and ask anyone for information about me."
After Master Lan finished speaking, he did not delay any longer and immediately turned around and pushed the door open to leave. He was surprisingly decisive.
She has a lot of things to do every day. This set of cultivation formations is just one of her equipment. She has been studying formations since she reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, and has been studying them for nearly two thousand years.
No matter how urgent it is now, we can't rush it. If Li Yan's cultivation can be improved a little bit, it will actually be more helpful to her.
After all, the other party had just entered the Nascent Soul stage. It was this point that made Master Lan feel a little regretful and did not force Li Yan.
She just told Li Yan that he could come and find her directly later, and she did not leave any token for Li Yan. Her token was not something that could be obtained so easily.
Don't ask the other party to do something, and don't do it. But this guy took her token and secretly did a lot of things for her, which she didn't want to see.
Li Yan looked at Master Lan with respect as he left. He only breathed a sigh of relief after his figure disappeared among the crowd in the hall.
The pressure brought to Li Yan by a Void Refining cultivator made him feel suffocated. The other party just stood there casually, as if she was a high and mighty god and he was just a small ant on the ground.
Master Lan could decide Li Yan's life or death in an instant with just a thought, and he wouldn't have the slightest ability to resist.
When Li Yan thought of the scene just now, he felt even more frightened.
The other party only needed to use a little bit of his soul power to expose his concealed soul cultivation. If he could use his spiritual consciousness, he would be in real trouble this time.
In addition, Master Lan is the kind of person who focuses on his own practice, and thanks to me, he has really cultivated to the early stage of Nascent Soul before I came.
If I had come here more than ten years ago, there would definitely be more flaws. But this time, Master Lan might not think that I was lacking resources for cultivation. Then how would I explain it
But even so, I still revealed some flaws today. As long as the other party smiles, I will be breaking the rules and will be arrested and investigated immediately.
Li Yan only felt a burst of coldness on his back. His move to enter the Soul-Calming Palace this time was really risky.
After more than ten years of preparation, and relying on the fact that he had already formed a fetus and had a very good foundation in soul power, he became much bolder.
But the facts proved that he had just been on the brink of life and death.
"I'm still a little impatient. I think I've been preparing for more than ten years, so I should be able to do it. But in fact, I have to wait until my skills and soul techniques are more stable, or even reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul..."
Li Yan had a lot on his mind at the moment, and he even thought about whether he should leave the Soul-Calming Palace. He didn't know much about Master Lan, and he was afraid that Master Lan would have other ideas after he returned.
"Friend Li, Master Lan is leaving now?"
A voice suddenly broke Li Yan's thoughts and woke him up from his fear. A fat middle-aged monk walked in and looked at him with a smile on his face.
He didn't even dare to stay at the door, for fear that Master Lan would misunderstand him. Instead, he left here far away and stood guard at a distance, not allowing others to get close.
But after only a cup of tea, he saw Master Lan push the door and leave, with a look on his face as if he was thinking about something, but Li Yan did not come out with him.
Now that he had entered the house, he seemed to be saying something casually, but in fact he wanted to get key information from Li Yan. However, he did not dare to ask Master Lan directly why he came here
He also heard a few words before, it seemed that Master Lan came here specially after seeing the other party's assessment photos.
In addition, Li Yan had a somewhat confused expression on his face when he saw Master Lan, which made the fat middle-aged monk immediately guess that Li Yan and Master Lan did not know each other.
People like them are extremely insightful and can often see the whole story of many things with just one glance.
As long as Master Lan does not give the order to capture someone immediately, it means that she has no ill will towards Li Yan.
As long as there is no malicious intent, that's enough!
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Gao! Master Lan just wanted to confirm something with me. Now that the matter is settled, I will take my leave!"
Li Yan has also returned to normal.
He calmed down and knew that no matter what, he couldn't leave the Soul-Calming Palace immediately. Otherwise, it would really be like trying to cover up one's own faults.
He raised his arm and bowed to the fat middle-aged monk, with a smile on his face, as if he was answering casually.
But he said it, but it was also like he didn't say anything, and it was also like he said something.
"Hehehe... Fellow Daoist Li, please go ahead. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to me anytime!"
Li Yan said no more. He nodded, turned around, and slowly walked out of the room.
Watching Li Yan's disappearing back, the fat middle-aged monk waved his hand to close the door again, and then sat behind the long table with a thoughtful look on his face.
Li Yan's reply also seemed casual, but it was worth his effort to figure it out...
Li Yan walked out of the room and went straight out of the hall. After identifying the direction, he immediately flew towards the north.
In the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, after registering, Li Yan, under the guidance of the cultivator, stepped into a small teleportation formation in a corner of the first floor of the pavilion.
The light in front of his eyes flickered slightly, and in just a moment, he had reached the second floor of the pavilion. The space here was larger than the first floor, about a hundred feet in size.
There were rows of neatly arranged bookshelves inside. There were no books on these shelves, but instead there were fist-sized red light balls neatly arranged on the shelves.
From a distance, it looks like rows of red gems, reflecting the whole space with a magnificent splendor.
The second floor was very quiet. After Li Yan took a step forward, there was a slowly rotating vortex behind him. People coming in and out of this place all passed through here.
Li Yan glanced around and saw some people standing quietly in front of the bookshelf or moving lightly, trying not to make any noise.
The level that Li Yan was teleported to was usually only designed for people who had been here for less than a hundred years. This was also the only area of the Dharma Transmission Pavilion that he could currently enter.
The Soul-Realizing Palace has very strict control over martial arts techniques. It does not mean that you can obtain all the martial arts techniques of the sect just by joining the sect.
This is also divided into levels. Those who enter the sect within a hundred years can only obtain some ordinary skills, or some fragments of skills.
However, considering that there are cultivators like Li Yan, they enter the sect with their skills.
Well, although the skills here are not the core skills of the Zhenhun Palace, the skills given are all complete, and there are even skills that can be practiced all the way to the Lianxu realm.
So, you can choose one that will be enough to support you all the way to the next level.
This level of skills is just a transition for most people. After a hundred years, they will definitely use the core skills of the Soul-Suppressing Palace to replace it.
There are very few disciples in a sect who would practice ordinary skills to perfection. What's the point
After Li Yan scanned the entire floor, he walked towards the first row at the back. He wanted to start from the last row and pick out a practice method that suited him.
In the eyes of others, he is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage and already a soul cultivator of a good level. In fact, he is just a young soul cultivator who has just entered the field for more than ten years.
The skills he needed were those that could perfect his deficiencies from Qi Condensation to Nascent Soul.
Some people here noticed Li Yan's appearance, but after just glancing at him and seeing that they didn't know him, no one paid any attention to him.
Li Yan quickly stood in the last row and began to look slowly horizontally along the shelves.
In addition to the flashing red light balls on the shelf, there is also a six or seven-inch high sign next to each red light ball.
The sign was flashing with a faint fluorescent light. It should be made of the bones of some monster. It was engraved with an introduction to the red light ball next to it.
"Soul-Splitting Technique, skill level: Qi Condensation to Nascent Soul, price: 100 300-year-old 'Soul Crystal Buds' (or equivalent spirit stones) to obtain.
Once this technique is mastered, the three souls can be split into 108 fragments... If you want to hunt other people's souls, you must first split your own soul and turn it into crystals..."
"Seven Souls Colored Light, skill level: Condensing Qi to Transforming Spirit. Price: 150 Five Hundred Years Soul Crystal Buds (or equivalent spirit stones) to obtain.
This skill cultivates the seven spirits into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. When successful, it can transform into seven clones with different personalities, connecting with the three souls of the main god. When separated, they can change into thousands of forms, and when combined, they are extremely powerful..."
Li Yan just looked at the introductions on each domino, occasionally stopping to look at the introductions on the dominoes carefully, and from time to time he would slowly move forward again...
Here, if he takes a fancy to a certain technique or soul technique, he only needs to extend his soul power and inject it into the red light ball to view the detailed content of the technique.
With the memory of an immortal cultivator, not to mention one book of martial arts, even ten or a hundred books can be easily memorized.
After forcing yourself to memorize it here, you can go back and comprehend and practice it little by little.
The Soul-Suppressing Palace also has a set of strict restrictions on the use of memorized skills, which were told to Li Yan one by one by the cultivator when he entered the first floor.
All the skills within the palace are absolutely not allowed to be passed on to outsiders. Violators will be severely punished. Revoking your cultivation is the lightest punishment. The normal punishment is to destroy your soul and not allow you to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Even if the disciples in the palace go out to found a sect or a family, the skills they can teach must be approved by the Soul-Suppressing Palace to determine which ones you can inherit and which ones you cannot.
Of course, the price of inheritance is how much tribute to pay to the Soul-Realming Palace every year, what kind of share the sect should bear from the Soul-Realming Palace, etc.
Here, as long as you have looked at the red light ball, a trace of your soul power will be left when it was registered on the first level, so your soul power mark will be left in the red light ball that you are looking at.
When going down to the first floor and leaving, the token will make a buzzing sound. The disciple must pay off the "Soul Crystal Buds" or spirit stones before leaving here.
Otherwise, the fate of wanting to eat for free is to wait for Huyadou to come and arrest you!
Li Yan continued to move forward in front of the shelf, occasionally brushing past other people, and both sides did not disturb each other.
Li Yan looked at the introductions to each martial art. He found them very novel at first, but later on, even a ruthless person like him became a little scared.
