When Li Yan returned from Laojun Peak, his face was full of surprise.
After finding Elder Peng at Laojun Peak, Elder Peng was quite kind to him, a complete change from the majestic demeanor of the elders of the Punishment Hall.
After asking about the recent situation of Li Yan's Disintegrated Poisonous Body, he learned that with the improvement of Li Yan's cultivation, the twelve changes of his Disintegrated Poisonous Body were showing a trend of continuing to split and upgrade. He couldn't help but show a look of joy, which made Li Yan a little confused.
Then, Elder Peng began to ask Li Yan whether he was free in the next few days. When he learned that Li Yan was about to continue his retreat, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
It was not until later, when Elder Peng himself suggested that Li Yan must go to Laojun Peak to look for Elder Mei when he was free, that Li Yan finally understood why he was so kind to him.
That was because Elder Mei of Laojun Peak, after hearing his great-great-great-grandson Mei Bucai constantly praising Li Yan's poison skills, and that he could even poison and kill foundation-building cultivators of higher levels.
So, he ran over and asked Elder Peng and others, and became even more interested in Li Yan's disintegrated poisonous body.
Elder Mei is a master in the late Jindan stage. Not only does he have extraordinary magical powers, he also has extremely high attainments in alchemy and is extremely obsessed with elixirs and poisons.
Therefore, he wanted to use Li Yan to perform magic and then study the Disintegrated Poisonous Body. Maybe he could cultivate one or two kinds of poisons similar to Li Yan's Disintegrated Poisonous Body.
What's more, he also heard that although Li Yan's poisonous body was powerful, Li Yan did not have an antidote. When using it, it would not distinguish between friend and foe. Anyone below the Golden Core level would die if they touched it. Of course, he also wanted to prepare some antidotes for future use.
After hearing this, Li Yan felt extremely unwilling. This was clearly an experiment using him. He couldn't help but hate Mei Bucai. This little fat guy had no sense of self-control and just sold himself out like this.
However, he couldn't refuse directly in front of Elder Peng, so he promised that he would go to meet Elder Mei when he was free, and only then did Elder Peng nod his head.
Li Yan didn't know that if his performance this time hadn't been too dazzling, the sect would have felt that he had a promising future, and coupled with a certain degree of fear of Wei Chongran, they would have taken Li Yan over to study him long ago.
As for Mei Bucai's matter, Li Yan felt somewhat wronged.
As soon as the little fat boy came out, he was captured by his direct great-great-grandfather to see if he had made any progress in the secret realm, and to let Mei Bucai tell him about his experiences in the secret realm.
Mei Bucai was already very afraid of his great-great-grandfather, and he wanted to finish his speech as quickly as possible, so he quickly told him what he knew.
Regarding Li Yan's poisoning of the foundation-building cultivators and his plan to destroy the three sects of the Ten-Step Courtyard, since Elder Peng had issued a gag order, he just glossed over the details. However, this made it impossible to explain some things.
Elder Mei was an old and shrewd man. As soon as he heard this, he felt that there was a lack of communication between the upper and lower levels. Moreover, he had already heard privately that the three sects of Shibuyuan were plotting something, so he had been refining pills and had not met with Elder Peng and others.
After listening to his great-great-great-grandson's confusing and irrelevant remarks, he became furious and pulled him over to give him a beating, causing Mei Bucai to howl in pain and inevitably let the cat out of the bag.
After talking about how Li Yan poisoned Liang Liang and a foundation-building cultivator of the Taixuan Sect, they had passed the third level. This aroused Elder Mei's interest, and after further questioning, Mei Bucai dared not say anything more. He could only stammer and tell him that Elder Peng had issued a gag order, and if he said anything, he would be violating the sect's rules.
Elder Mei kicked Mei Bucai away. With the fat man's scream, the two of them flew up at the same time, but in different directions.
Elder Mei flew excitedly to find Elder Peng. Jindan cultivators had the right to know about such things, so Elder Peng told him what happened and stated that he had reported the matter to the two ancestors, Da Cen and Mo Qing.
Elder Mei didn't care about the report at all, and just kept asking about Li Yan's poisonous body. Elder Peng was helpless, knowing that he was an alchemy fanatic, so he had no choice but to tell him the details of Li Yan.
The more Elder Mei listened, the brighter his eyes became, especially when he heard that Li Yan could actually use his poisonous body to fight against the terrifying huge black shadow. He was so anxious that he rubbed his hands together and wanted to grab Li Yan immediately to cooperate with his research.
But Elder Peng quickly pulled his sleeve and said something to him.
"Junior Brother Wei is extremely protective of his own people."
This immediately extinguished Elder Mei's rising anger. How could he dare to offend the master of Xiaozhu Peak? But he was already thinking about Li Yan, and he asked Elder Peng to let Li Yan come to him when he met him again, and he could pay Li Yan a very high reward.
For both public and private reasons, Elder Peng wanted the sect to possess a poison as terrifying and unpredictable as the Disintegrating Poison Body, so when Li Yan arrived, he began lobbying.
He also said that Elder Mei was willing to pay a very high price, but Li Yan heard it. Although he was very interested in those rich spirit stones, after a little thought, he rejected it in his heart.
He still didn't want to be studied by others, or he would accidentally reveal the whereabouts of Guishui Xianmen. What's more, he was very short on time and didn't have enough time to practice, let alone cooperate with others.
Moreover, his fragmented poisonous body is an important trump card for him when he is weak now. It would not be a good thing if it is repeatedly studied.
Li Yan regretted coming to Laojun Peak, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible. However, what happened next almost made him shout out in excitement. When Elder Peng took out a storage bag and handed it to Li Yan, a happy smile appeared on his face.
This made Li Yan think for a moment that maybe it was because he had agreed to Elder Mei's request on the surface that made Elder Peng quite happy, so he showed this expression. He couldn't help feeling uneasy.
But when his consciousness sank into the storage bag, he was immediately stunned by the pile of sparkling spirit stones. There were not just 300 low-grade spirit stones in the storage bag. In Li Yan's consciousness, the pile of spirit stones really occupied a large area, at least one or two thousand, emitting attractive light and amazing spiritual energy. For a moment, Li Yan was a little stunned.
Looking at Li Yan's silly expression, Elder Peng smiled and told Li Yan that although their team did not get the top three rewards this time, it was in view of Li Yan's contribution and the correct judgment made by Gong Chenying in the crisis.
This is how they saved Gan Shi and others, and the sect decided to give them a generous reward.
Li Yan rewarded him with two thousand low-grade spirit stones, three bottles of "Chun Yang Dan", ten "Ghost Car Talismans", and a chance to go to the Treasure Pavilion to comprehend an intermediate skill or magic for free.
Elder Peng's words left Li Yan unable to react for a long time, as if he was in a dream. Just two thousand low-grade spirit stones were already unbelievable to him. He was not sure whether he could sell so many even after selling Miao Zhengyi's three hundred flying swords.
Ten "Ghost Car Talismans" are a priceless treasure. This time in the secret realm, Li Yan truly experienced its powerful defense comparable to that of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. This time, the sect actually rewarded him with ten at a time. How could he not be overjoyed
There is also the "Spring Yang Pill", which is extremely precious to cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage. This pill plays a great role in condensing and compressing spiritual power. It is a good preparation for laying the foundation and turning spiritual energy into liquid.
If Li Yan didn't have this pill, he would have to practice the Great Circulation of Spiritual Power over and over again, and practice hard to compress his physical and spiritual power. With this pill, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and especially save a lot of time.
Before coming to Laojun Peak, Li Yan was thinking that if he sold what he got from this secret realm, he would buy a few pills. Unexpectedly, the sect gave him three bottles at once, and each bottle contained five pills.
Not to mention that the sect was generous and gave Li Yan a chance to learn intermediate skills or magic for free, which solved the problem of Li Yan looking for a physical training technique if he failed to practice the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique".
Li Yan just felt dizzy and like in a dream. He had no idea how he got out of Laojun Peak or how he returned to the small bamboo courtyard. Only after he sat in the courtyard for a long while did he let out a long breath.
"Now there is no need to rush to sell the things obtained from the secret realm. These spirit stones and elixirs are enough for a while. As for going to the Treasure Pavilion to select the skills or immortal arts, I will make a decision after practicing the 'Qiongqi Purgatory Art'."
Li Yan slowly calmed down, planned carefully again, and made a decision.
So after taking out the token, he first sent a message to Lin Daqiao, telling him that he was too busy with cultivation these days and that he would go to find him after a while.
If he is free then, he will set a time to go to the textile market. However, Lin Daqiao seemed to be busy and did not reply to him.
Later, after hesitating for a moment, Li Yan also sent a message to Gong Chenying. He learned from Elder Peng that Gong Chenying also did not attend the reward ceremony, and did not receive the reward items. It seemed that he was in seclusion and had not come out.
So Li Yan briefly told her about the upcoming practice of "Qiongqi Purgatory" and told her that the sect had given them an extra reward. As for what the sect rewarded Gong Chenying, Li Yan certainly didn't know.
But I think it should be extremely generous. After sending the message, after waiting for a while, Gong Chenying still didn't reply, obviously he was still in seclusion.
Li Yan chuckled. He knew how hard Gong Chenying worked. Every time he went to the Spirit Plant Garden, he saw her practicing, either meditating or training her body.
After a brief thought, Li Yan also sent a message to Zhao Min, telling him that he had been consolidating his realm during this period and would soon continue to practice in seclusion.
Not long after, a message came back with only two words on it.
"Understood!"
There was no more information. Li Yan looked at these two words in a daze.
After a long time, Li Yan collected the token and walked towards the training room calmly. With a slight sound, the door of the training room closed again.
Putting the token in her hand aside, there was no expression on Zhao Min's white jade face. At this moment, she was only wearing a tight short shirt, with her white and slender limbs exposed.
She wore a short-sleeved shirt from her upper body to her shoulders, and her plump thighs were tightly wrapped in shorts. Her vertical muscles bulged out in round lines, forming several smooth vertical stripes.
Under the tights, she was slender and graceful, with peaks and ridges and devilish curves. She was sweating all over, and the sweat soaked her clothes, making them stick tighter to her body.
Looking at the token, Zhao Min was dazed for a while. After a while, she came back to her senses and her eyes were as calm as before.
Next, she began to practice again. The first thing she did was an extremely strange movement. With this movement, her already sexy body made people feel their blood rushing to their veins.
However, if Li Yan saw this action, his first feeling would be familiarity. It was very similar to an action he had seen in a jade slip.
Li Yan sat cross-legged, his face expressionless. He stretched out his hand and touched his left wrist, and a light yellow jade slip appeared in his right hand. After Gong Chenying's instructions, he was very careful and placed the jade slip of the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" in the "Earth Spot".
Li Yan immersed his consciousness into the jade slip, but this time he first focused his attention and then placed it on the three sentences of mantra below the first picture.
