"Junior brother, have you reported to Second Brother?" Wen Xinliang suddenly asked.
"Report?"
Li Yanzheng and Lin Daqiao were standing side by side and were stunned when they heard it.
“Hehehe, Junior Brother, it seems like this is really your first time leaving the sect. Sect disciples need to register with the mountain they are in when they go out, unless you have reached the Nascent Soul level, then you don’t need to.”
Lin Daqiao saw Li Yan's dazed look, like a silly bird, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Is it necessary to do this? I don't know. I will go back to the main hall and tell my second senior brother."
Li Yan touched his nose and said with a smile.
"Forget it this time. I'll just send a message to Second Senior Brother."
Wen Xinliang stood up straight from his leaning position.
A moment later, the three of them flew eastward towards the rising sun. Wen Xinliang's flying device was a magical instrument similar to a butterfly. It looked like jade but was not jade. It was purple all over, but no one knew what material it was made of.
This magic weapon took on a size of three meters. The three people standing on the back of the butterfly did not feel crowded. Often, the butterfly would just flap its purple wings lightly and instantly fly forward sixty or seventy meters at an incredibly fast speed.
Li Yan was filled with envy. Even if he was using Miao Zhengyi's flying sword, he could only leap about twenty feet at a time. He didn't know if his speed would increase as his cultivation level improved in the future.
Just after the three of them flew away for half an incense stick of time, Lin Daqiao pointed forward.
"Junior brother, that is the mountain gate of my sect."
Li Yan was stunned. They had already flown for half an incense stick of time since they came out of Xiaozhu Peak at such a fast speed. He thought they had left the Wuliang Sect long ago, but he didn't expect that they had only arrived near the mountain gate.
The sect was so large that he couldn't help but think of the sect protection formation. It was said that it started from the mountain gate and covered all the mountain peaks. So how huge was the sect protection formation? Li Yan couldn't imagine the power of such a huge formation.
Looking at the mountain gate that was getting closer and closer, there was a large cloud of mist shrouding it, and the scenery outside the gate could not be seen at all. With the speed of the purple butterfly under my feet, I passed through it in an instant.
The moment he passed through the mountain gate, Li Yan clearly felt the token on his waist vibrate, as if something he could not see appeared from the clouds on all directions in the sky. He vaguely felt countless auras rushing towards the token on his waist.
But the next moment, everything returned to calm.
This is a long story, but in Li Yan's perception, it only happened in a very short moment. In just this moment, Li Yan felt a creepy feeling rising from the bottom of his heart.
It seemed that if he had not carried the token with him, the invisible aura would have been able to turn him into ashes in an instant.
After flying out of the mountain gate, Li Yan looked back, and his heart was shocked when he saw it.
This was the first time he actually saw the Wuliang Sect from the direction of the sect's front mountain gate, and it was a shock that went deep into his soul.
A gate railing a thousand feet high rises into the sky, reaching straight into the clouds, as if it has no end and no limit.
From above the thousand-foot-high gate railing, three large dark green characters with a gloomy tone - Wangliang Sect - seemed to be pressed there firmly by thick white clouds, emitting endless pressure.
At first glance, one would feel as if being directly suppressed by these three big characters, with depression in the chest and difficulty breathing, as if three huge tripods were pressing down from the sky, suppressing this piece of heaven and earth.
Even though they are obscured by clouds and mist, they are still clearly visible, but they are more eerie and mysterious.
Behind the thousand-foot-high gate railing, five towering peaks can be vaguely seen rising from the ground. There seems to be some invisible connection between the five peaks, so when Li Yan looked at the five peaks, he suddenly felt dizzy.
In an instant, the Five Peaks seemed to come alive in his eyes, sometimes far away, sometimes near, and sometimes erratic. When he looked at Xiaozhu Peak again, it was sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, and then seemed to sink into the endless thick clouds below.
It seemed erratic in his eyes, which was completely different from what he saw in the sect.
Even after flying dozens of miles out of the sect, Li Yan was still immersed in his own insignificance.
"Junior brother, your cultivation is really improving by leaps and bounds. When you first came out of the secret realm that day, you had already reached the tenth level of Qi Condensation. It is a world of difference compared to more than three years ago."
Wen Xinliang and Lin Daqiao saw that Li Yan had been in shock ever since he passed through the mountain gate. They looked at each other with smiles in their eyes, but they never spoke.
They all understood this feeling. When they first saw the mountain gate, it was not much better than Li Yan's current appearance. But what made them feel a little funny was that Li Yan had been a member for nearly four years, and this was the first time he saw the entire picture of the sect.
After flying for dozens of miles, Wen Xinliang saw that Li Yan still hadn't recovered from his shock. Looking at the aura fluctuations of the eighth level of Qi Condensation emanating from Li Yan, he couldn't help but ask him questions.
The fact that Li Yan's aura was dormant and hidden was no longer a secret to the people from Xiaozhu Peak. After they had taught him some moves before entering the secret realm and after Li Yan had taken action in the competition, they all knew that Li Yan's fragmented poisonous body had the function of hiding his own cultivation.
This made them all extremely envious. In the world of immortal cultivation, who doesn't want to keep a few more trump cards in hand, and even more so doesn't want others to see through their realm of cultivation.
However, they couldn't learn Li Yan's method even if they wanted to. When Li Yan first started, although Wei Chongran specifically asked Li Yan to tell them how his poisonous body was created, and Li Wuyi and others also tried it after returning, they couldn't find any hope at all.
Instead, it would disrupt their own skills and make their breathing unstable, so everyone gave up the idea.
Today, seeing that Li Yan's breathing has stabilized and his realm has returned to the eighth level of Qi Condensation, it is obvious that all the adverse effects brought about by promotion in the secret realm have been resolved.
Thinking about Li Yan three years ago, he was just a low-level cultivator who had just entered the second level of Qi Condensation Stage. In just three short years, he had become almost the same as Lin Daqiao. Wen Xinliang was truly amazed.
"That's right. When you came here a few years ago, you were only at the second level of Qi Condensation and knew nothing. Now you are almost catching up with me."
Lin Daqiao said with a smile.
Li Yan was shocked when he heard the voices around him. He slowly came to his senses, but the amazement in his eyes still remained. After calming down, he touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly. "Hehehe... Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, please forgive me for laughing. This is the first time I have seen the whole picture of the sect. I was really shocked."
Wen Xinliang and Lin Daqiao both smiled when they heard this, and Lin Daqiao patted Li Yan's shoulder again.
Li Yan saw that their eyes were still on him, obviously observing his breath. If this happened outside, it would be extremely impolite and might even cause a fight.
But this was the two senior brothers looking at their junior brother, directly detecting Li Yan's cultivation level, which made sense.
“Thank you for the compliment. I just got the Fragmented Poison Body by chance. Over the past few years, I have been grateful for the care of my fellow brothers and sisters. Otherwise, I would have spent a lot of time studying just to get started in the world of immortal cultivation.
Not to mention the current level of cultivation. As for catching up with Seventh Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, please don't joke with me. There is a world of difference between Qi Condensation and Foundation Building. One is in heaven and the other is on earth.
It looks like there is only a realm difference between us, but you can kill me with just a wave of your hand, hehe..."
After hearing this, Li Yan smiled bitterly and said sincerely.
He had just finished speaking when he saw Wen Xinliang shaking his head. Lin Daqiao curled her lips and was about to speak again, but Li Yan spoke first.
"By the way, why did you think of going to the market today? I didn't ask about Seventh Senior Brother in the message just now."
Seeing that Li Yan asked other questions, Wen Xinliang seemed to know what Li Yan was thinking. He raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Li Yan with a smile, then stopped talking and turned his gaze to Lin Daqiao.
Lin Daqiao couldn't help but smile when she heard Li Yan's question.
"Junior brother, you don't know this. This time, Third Brother took me out to train for a few months, and I got a lot of good things. This time, I took them to the market to exchange for spirit stones.
Third Senior Brother has shown signs of a breakthrough since he came out of the secret realm last time. This time, through the experience, he is even more confident, so he is in a hurry to rush back to the sect.
He went into seclusion as soon as he came back yesterday. He gave all the things he had obtained this time to his fifth senior brother to sell together."
When Lin Daqiao talked about these things, she couldn't help but beam with joy, looking very excited. Looking at Lin Daqiao's cheerful look, Li Yan's heart moved.
"Junior brother, my cultivation is too shallow, and I have never experienced any training before, so I don't know what it will be like."
Li Yan has always been very curious about training outside. Because of his cultivation level, the sect strictly prohibits Qi Condensation disciples from going out for training. Seeing Lin Daqiao like this, Li Yan's curiosity was aroused.
"Hahaha, little junior brother, you don't know that although this time was only more than four months, the harvest was quite a lot. I hunted seven first-level monsters, including a second-level earth-armored tiger.
Just the inner elixir and flesh of this earth-armored tiger can be exchanged for one or two thousand low-level spirit stones, not to mention its bones, which are the favorite raw materials of those weapon refining masters, and can easily be exchanged for five or six hundred low-level spirit stones.
Among the other six monsters, there are two Green Wind Wolves. These are the good stuff that wind-attribute cultivators most want to exchange for, and they are also extremely popular in the market...
… This time, they also collected forty or fifty low- and medium-level herbs. Some of these herbs were over a hundred years old. Two of them were the main ingredients for refining the "Pink Infant Pills", which was also one of the raw materials that some pill-making guilds liked to purchase the most.
This pill is an irresistible temptation for those female cultivators. It has a very strong anti-aging effect. A raw herb that is more than a hundred years old can be exchanged for at least seventy low-level spirit stones... "
Li Yan listened in amazement as Lin Daqiao spoke with saliva flying all over her mouth. She even gestured with her hands and feet when she was happy.
Li Yan knew that the training was extremely risky, but he had no idea that the rewards were so rich. It could easily be dozens or hundreds of spirit stones, and the better ones could even have thousands of spirit stones.
Then think about how hard you work on tasks within the sect, and how you only earn a few dozen spirit stones at the end of a month.
After escaping death last time, he just received several thousand spirit stones from the sect, which made him so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, thinking that he was finally wealthy. But in the eyes of others, this was just a small part of what he got after going out for training.
How could Li Yan not be shocked? At the same time, he actually felt jealous. Of course, he was not jealous of what Lin Daqiao and the others had gained, but he was jealous of the way of getting rich overnight brought by the experience.
At this moment, there was a voice shouting in Li Yan's heart.
"I want to build a foundation. I must build a foundation. Training, isn't it just training..."
Li Yan thought so in his heart, and there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes. Wen Xinliang saw all of this, and he suddenly spoke.
"Daqiao, you are so happy with this little profit, aren't there better things? Tell me so that I can broaden my horizons."
After saying this, a strange gleam appeared in his eyes.
"Oh, by the way, Junior Brother, hehehe, there are better things here."
As he said this, he looked around. There were no other cultivators flying around them at the moment, but even so, Lin Daqiao lifted the corner of his robe at his waist in a very subtle way.
Li Yan looked at it in confusion, but saw several storage bags tied inside the robe, and it seemed that there were more storage bags inside Lin Daqiao's robe. Then he saw Lin Daqiao quickly put down the corner of his robe and pointed at Wen Xinliang's waist.
Li Yan was a little confused at first, but he soon understood. He couldn't help but take a breath and figured it out in his mind.
"These storage bags clearly do not belong to the two of them, but they are also going to deal with these storage bags."
There were quite a lot of these storage bags. Li Yan knew at first sight that the storage bags were definitely not theirs. Since they were not theirs, the answer was obvious: they were obtained through murder and robbery.
Killing is not unfamiliar to Li Yan now, but that was a fair fight in the secret realm. Lin Daqiao and the others were outside the secret realm.
Although the Wuliang Sect is a giant that rules a region, this is obviously not the first time they have done such a thing. Aren't they afraid that too many people will be eyeing the Wuliang Sect monks? This is the truth that a swarm of ants can kill an elephant.
In this way, the monks of the Wuliang Sect would inevitably be attacked when they go out. Thinking of this, Li Yan subconsciously looked around.
