Li Yan was about to enter the training room when he suddenly felt clouds surging in the sky above the yard. Li Yan looked up hurriedly and saw that the clear blue sky in the early morning had suddenly become windy and covered with dark clouds.
Li Yan was shocked, but he didn't know what had happened. As his eyes flickered, the man had disappeared in the yard. The next moment, he stepped on a flying sword and rushed into the sky.
At this moment, there was a strong wind blowing above the sky of Xiaozhu Peak. In the distant sky, thick dark clouds were rolling towards here. The bamboo forest on the mountain was like waves, undulating violently, and rolling up fallen leaves all over the sky.
The originally dark green mountains appear even more depressing and heavy under the pressure of dark clouds.
Li Yan hovered in the air above his courtyard. Although his robe was rustling in the wind, his body did not move at all, as if nailed in the air.
He looked at the endless dark clouds rolling in the sky and getting closer and closer to here, then looked in the direction where the dark clouds were heading, which was the southeast corner of Xiaozhu Peak. Li Yan's heart moved, and he took another look at the sky with rolling dark clouds, as if he had some guesses.
Just as Li Yan took off, dozens of rays of light rose into the sky from Xiaozhu Peak. They were Wei Chituo, Gong Chenying, Wen Xinliang, Lin Daqiao and Yun Chunqu.
Li Wuyi and Miao Wangqing did not show up. The other cultivators who also flew into the air were disciples from the other four peaks who were doing missions here. They all had surprise on their faces and looked far away towards the southeast direction of Xiaozhu Peak.
At this moment, dozens of rays of light were whistling in the distance, and more lights were rising into the sky from all directions, flying towards Xiaozhu Peak.
Wei Chituo and the others also saw Li Yan in mid-air, but had no intention of gathering together. Instead, they all looked towards a place covered with dense bamboo forest in the southeast corner of Xiaozhu Peak with solemn expressions.
At this moment, the surrounding winds and clouds were constantly gathering in the sky, and thick clouds were hanging down. The lowest part was only three hundred feet away from Xiaozhu Peak, and thunder could be heard faintly in the black clouds.
As everyone was looking sideways, those dozens of rays of light had already whizzed to the top of Xiaozhu Peak. When the light faded away, Li Yan looked intently and saw many familiar people among them.
Baili Yuan, Gan Shi, Wei Feng, the Chu brothers, Wang Tian and others were all among them. Just as they appeared, another extremely red light flew over from a distance at an astonishing speed.
The red light quickly disappeared, and Li Changting's plump figure appeared above Xiaozhu Peak. Her face sank slightly, and she showed a rare solemnity. After arriving here, she did not greet anyone at all, but stared at the bamboo forest in the southeast corner of Xiaozhu Peak.
When Li Yan saw this scene, he became more certain of his guess. At this time, there were more and more lights in the sky of Xiaozhu Peak. In just a dozen breaths, nearly a hundred rays of light flew over, all of which were the foundation-building cultivators from various peaks.
Everyone who came here had sharp eyes, only a few people were talking in a low voice occasionally, while most people were staring at the southeast corner of Xiaozhu Peak without blinking.
Not long after Li Changting arrived, another white light came from the sky and landed next to Li Changting in the blink of an eye. It was Zhao Min in white.
After she landed, she first glanced around. When her gaze fell on Li Yan, she just glanced at him without lingering for too long. Finally, her gaze also fell on the southeast corner.
And Li Yan clearly saw that there was a rare hint of worry in Zhao Min's eyes.
This was obviously not the end. There were still lights of various colors in the sky above Xiaozhu Peak continuing to fly towards Xiaozhu Peak. At this moment, a cold snort sounded in the sky.
"How can you behave like this? All of you, leave Xiaozhu Peak a hundred miles away, including the disciples of Xiaozhu Peak."
With the appearance of this voice, a pressure that frightened all the cultivators here came over the sky. This pressure seemed to be more frightening than the leaden and ink-black clouds in the sky.
Afterwards, a piece of space above Xiaozhu Peak was distorted, and seven or eight figures appeared there. The leader was none other than Yan Longzi, the leader of the Wuliang Sect. At this moment, he looked around with an unhappy expression.
Following behind him were the four peak masters Li Yuyin, Feng Changge, and Yi Qiansheng, as well as several elders including Peng Wuxing.
The appearance of so many Jindan cultivators at the same time made the atmosphere here suddenly quiet. Although only some Jindan cultivators from the Wuliang Sect came, they were all the most powerful people.
After hearing Yan Longzi's words, all the foundation-building cultivators here looked at each other. Although they could see reluctance in each other's eyes, how could they dare to go against the leader's wishes.
One by one, they had to ride on the light of escape and fly quickly out of Xiaozhu Peak. The five peaks of the Wuliang Sect all covered a vast area, so even if they flew a hundred miles away, they were still within the range of Xiaozhu Peak.
Li Yan was also helpless and rode his flying sword away from the sky above his courtyard, while Wei Chituo stretched out his big hand and grabbed down, and three disciples, Ouyang Ping, Zhang Que and Feng Moshen, as well as a dozen miscellaneous disciples below Xiaozhu Peak, were swept into the air by him in an instant.
Then, he, Gong Chenying and a few other disciples flew away along with them.
Li Changting and Zhao Min finally flew away slowly, seemingly very reluctantly, but after Li Yuyin sent a message, the two of them also left.
Looking at the disciples flying away, he looked up at the sky, where the clouds were getting lower and lower. Yan Longzi's face was solemn. He did not look back and spoke in a low voice.
"This should be that kid Wuyi. He has been waiting for this day for a long time."
"It's him. Look at my Chang Ting's appearance. If it's not him, could it be that girl Miao Wangqing?"
Li Yuyin opened her red lips slightly, but there was still a smile in her words.
Yan Longzi nodded and continued.
"Thanks to you just now, otherwise if Changting and Zhaomin didn't leave, it would be really difficult to deal with. Changting is easier to deal with, but Zhaomin has a personality that I really can't do anything about."
"Master, this is for the good of all of them. Allowing them to watch from a distance of a hundred miles away is already a great opportunity for them. Otherwise, if the pill calamity comes, all cultivators below the Golden Core stage within a hundred miles will have a high probability of death."
Feng Changge, a Confucian scholar from Lingchong Peak, said with a smile on his face.
"What Xiao Fengzi said is right. Giving them this opportunity to observe is already a great favor. At least it will give them some experience in condensing the golden elixir in the future." Li Yuyin nodded slightly after hearing Feng Changge's words.
However, when the master of Lingchong Peak heard the three words "Xiao Fengzi", black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead. He was very dissatisfied with this name, but he didn't dare to provoke this senior sister at all. He could only remain depressed and not say anything, but only silently in his heart.
"I am the little lunatic, and you are the lunatic. You are a crazy woman and you are unreasonable."
"Master, there is a disciple in seclusion in this peak. I will set up a formation around her courtyard."
The Master Yi of Sixiang Peak suddenly pointed to a place on Xiaozhu Peak, and then flew down directly.
Looking at the disappearing figure of Master Yi Feng, Yan Longzi spoke slowly.
"Junior Brother Wei has been in seclusion for almost a year, and I don't know when he will be able to come out. Today, he wants us to protect him and help him pass the pill tribulation."
After hearing this, the other elders also smiled and nodded, and just as Yan Longzi finished speaking, a warm voice sounded between heaven and earth.
"Thank you all, brothers, for protecting me. I am very grateful to you."
These words came so suddenly that everyone was stunned when they heard them. Then, in a place below Xiaozhu Peak, there was a sudden bright light. In the sight of everyone, two dazzling rays of light shot out from below, heading exactly where Yan Longzi and his group were.
The two rays of light came extremely fast, and at the same time when everyone noticed the light, they had already arrived in front of Yan Longzi and the others. The light was coming with amazing force, but after hearing the words, Yan Longzi and the others smiled, and stood in the air, quietly watching the two rays of light coming.
The light dissipated, revealing two people inside, a fat man, and a gorgeous young woman in palace dress. After the two appeared, the fat man bowed to everyone, and the young woman in palace dress also bowed slightly. The two were the master and wife of Xiaozhu Peak.
When Yan Longzi and others saw Wei Chongran and his wife, they glanced at them and stayed on Wei Chongran for a while. Their eyes lit up and Yan Longzi laughed.
"Junior brother, your cultivation has improved again. It is a blessing for the sect."
Wei Chongran smiled slightly.
"My sister and I went into seclusion, and we both gained something this time."
"I have reached the Golden Core stage. It is extremely difficult to make even a little progress. Junior Brother Wei is being too modest."
The master of Lingchong Peak shook his head.
After reaching the Golden Core stage, it is common to remain motionless for decades or even hundreds of years. His cultivation has not improved at all for more than thirty years, so no matter how much he meditates, it is in vain.
At this time, a chance is needed. When the chance comes, the spirit will open up. Or you may encounter a natural treasure, and the unbreakable bottleneck will be broken instantly, but this chance is too elusive.
Before Wei Chongran could say anything, a very charming voice came out.
"Junior brother, just now I only heard you thanking my senior brother, am I just a decoration?"
When everyone heard the voice, many of them felt a jolt in their hearts, and then they all looked at Wei Chongran. There was no sound here for a moment, and even Yan Longzi looked up at the increasingly thick dark clouds, as if he didn't hear it.
When Wei Chongran heard the voice, his face suddenly became pale as if he had eaten dozens of kilograms of Coptis chinensis. Looking at that charming face, he clasped his two fat hands together, as if he felt the chill of the severe winter.
"Senior Sister Li, I was just planning to thank you in person, but I was questioned by the Sect Master right after I came here, and I didn't even have time to open my mouth."
"Oh, how are you going to thank me?"
Li Yuyin looked at Wei Chongran with a half-smile.
"My husband and I are grateful to Senior Sister Li for coming to help Wuyi form the elixir. Chongran is not very good at speaking, so I apologize to Senior Sister Li."
Without waiting for Wei Chongran to speak, the young woman in palace dress rolled her eyes and bowed to Li Yuyin with a warm smile.
"Oh, sister, I can't accept your gift. You are Mrs. Wei. This kind of gratitude is not as real as a banquet. How about asking Junior Brother Wei to treat me to a meal when he is free?"
When Li Yuyin saw the young woman in palace dress bowing, she waved her jade hand to block it, then chuckled and spoke.
After hearing this, the young woman in palace dress showed no dissatisfaction on her face. Instead, she spoke with a smile.
"This makes it so that all the brothers have come to help Wuyi today. No matter what happens afterwards, please help them all."
When everyone saw the two girls talking happily, they all had strange looks on their faces. Wei Chongran stood there somewhat awkwardly.
"coming!"
At this moment, Yan Longzi, who had been looking at the dark clouds, suddenly spoke. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a flash of lightning streaking down from the leaden dark clouds over Xiaozhu Peak, followed by a shocking thunder exploding from the sky.
Wei Chongran and the others stopped talking and all looked at the large rolling dark clouds.
