Pingtu looked at Li Yan who opened his eyes from meditation. He saw a hint of excitement in Li Yan's eyes. Pingtu's huge face also nodded slightly. He probably guessed what Li Yan saw.
"Boy, your Guishui Immortal Sect's skills are somewhat similar to the Wuliang Sect. They are not as powerful and overwhelming as Dinghuo Immortal Sect and Xinjin Immortal Sect. You are just like Yimu Immortal Sect, taking the path of being gentle, dangerous and poisonous."
After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but nodded.
When he was checking the Guishui Sutra just now, the first thing that caught his eye was the golden and shining formula of the foundation-building technique. Li Yan had no plans to practice it immediately, so he skipped it and looked at the back of the formula.
There, the first thing he saw was the "Gui Yi Fen Shui Ci" set of exercises. Li Yan suppressed his excitement and read it carefully.
Guiyi Water-Fen Thorn, the most powerful magic weapon of Guishui Xianmen, is an extremely important training content for disciples of Guishui Xianmen. Almost half of their combat power comes from this set of exercises.
This device consists of a pair of molecular and prismatic components, which are held in both hands. When successfully refined, it becomes a low-level magic weapon. As the cultivator continuously nurtures it in his dantian, its level will continue to increase with his cultivation.
When the level reaches that of a high-level magic weapon, it can be taken into the Niwan Palace for tempering and nurturing like a powerful sword cultivator. Then it can exert the same powerful power as a sword cultivator.
Its body is pointed and slender, and has a viciousness and cunningness that sword cultivators do not have, similar to flying needle-type magic weapons. Its comprehensive attack power far exceeds that of sword cultivators.
At the same time, this magic weapon also has the characteristics of water and ice. It can turn steel into soft silk in an instant. When activated, it can also turn into solid ice that can withstand any obstacle, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
Such characteristics of martial arts made Li Yan's eyes light up, but then he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The method and technique for refining the Guiyi Water-Fenning Thorn have already appeared, but the materials he has collected so far are only about 20%, and there is no news about the vast majority of the main materials.
Li Yandu has already begun to think about whether he should first buy a pair of ordinary water-dividing spiritual treasures to see if he can barely manipulate this technique. This is also the best method he can think of at the moment.
After staying on this technique for a while, Li Yan's gaze continued to move to the back, where he found another set of techniques, its name is "Stealth at Night", which is a set of techniques for hiding one's whereabouts.
It can restrain the fluctuations and aura of the cultivators. When one reaches a high level of cultivation, even if the opponent is one major realm higher than oneself, one will not be able to detect it.
When Li Yan first saw this set of skills, he was a little disappointed. What he actually wanted more was a means of attack, but his current means of attack were mediocre.
But in a flash, he rejected his own idea. What is the most important thing in the world of immortal cultivation? Life!
Therefore, the protective magic weapons, talismans, and skills on the market are extremely rare, and they will often be snatched up as soon as they appear.
The essence of "Sneaking and Hiding at Night" is a protective technique, and it should be a top-level protective technique. The reason why it appears at the same time as the Gui Yi Fen Shui Ci technique is that they complement each other.
Even if he is unable to practice the Gui Yi Fen Shui Ci technique for the time being, this set of concealment techniques can be applied to other attacks and is extremely applicable.
With his own poisonous body, combined with this set of skills, even if he encountered a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, he would probably be able to poison and kill him without the cultivator knowing.
Pingtu's words were similar to what Li Yan had thought. Li Yan himself was the type who didn't like to fight directly with others. He would rather kill people with his brain than use physical strength.
In fact, Pingtu didn't fully guess the reason for his excitement.
After reading the technique just now, when Li Yan checked his body again, he was even more surprised that the extremely difficult to advance Qiongqi Purgatory Technique had unexpectedly broken through to the middle stage of the first level.
Li Yan was not the only one who had experienced the difficulty of practicing this technique. Even Zhao Min, who had practiced for more than ten years, was only in the late second level. And it had been less than a year since Li Yan's last breakthrough in this technique.
According to the previous speed of cultivation, even with the support of Guishui Sutra and one can complete two more cycles of cultivation every day, it will take at least two years before there can be another breakthrough.
Li Yan guessed that the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique might have caused changes in the rules of heaven and earth when it finally broke through to the ninth level, but after checking his body, he did not find anything abnormal. The only thing left was joy.
"What are your plans for the future? Are you going to go out of the sect to look for materials to refine the Guiyi Water-Dividing Thorn? However, it would be best if you consolidate your realm for three months before considering this matter."
Pingtu looked at Li Yan and asked slowly.
"Senior, I plan to consolidate my realm before going out. The matter of refining my life magic weapon cannot be delayed for too long, otherwise my subsequent cultivation will be greatly affected."
Li Yan nodded. He planned to do so today. After a year of seclusion and breakthrough in foundation building, he was physically and mentally exhausted. He wanted to have a good rest for a day and then return to the secret room to consolidate his cultivation.
"Well, that's it for today. Go back and have a good sleep."
Pingtu naturally noticed Li Yan's tiredness and spoke in a deep voice.
Li Yan stood up, bowed to Pingtu, and was about to teleport out when he suddenly stopped and remembered something, which made him frown. Then he turned around and spoke again.
"Senior, I have a problem, I don't know how to solve it?"
Li Yan suddenly remembered that Lin Daqiao once told him that when a disciple of the Wuliang Sect successfully established his foundation, he must leave a trace of his spirit in the sect to light the soul lamp.
Li Yan only had a vague understanding of this at the beginning, but now he understands it very clearly.
The soul of a living being is a matter of life and death. Even if there is only a trace of it left in the hands of others, especially in the hands of those monks with great magical powers, they can easily take your life in an instant even if you are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Although Li Yan now feels a sense of belonging to the Wuliang Sect, he is not willing to hand his life over to the other party. This reminds Li Yan of this matter and he can't help but worry.
He had no other choice but to ask Pingtu for help. Even if there was even a slight possibility, he did not want to commit treason at this moment.
After listening to Li Yan's words, Pingtu pondered for a moment before speaking.
“This kind of thing actually exists in many sects, and it is also a kind of restriction on cultivators. Although the Five Immortal Sects do not have such practices, there are also many such sects in the Immortal Spirit World.
However, since there is a way to control it, there are ways to deal with it. There are still some ways in the fairy world, but in my current situation, I can't use any advanced methods at all. " When Li Yan heard this, his face did not show the anxiety that Pingtu guessed, but continued to listen as usual. Pingtu couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this.
"Why are all the disciples of Guishui Xianmen like this? They are all scheming people. They are obviously very anxious and don't want to betray the Wuliang Sect, but they still have this expression."
When Li Yan heard Pingtu speak, although his words implied that he was blocking the retreat, he still saw a trace of calmness from Pingtu's subtle expression, so he simply remained silent.
As expected, Pingtu paused and spoke again.
“However, there is a method, which is to find a soul with a similar aura to yours, whose cultivation level is close to the foundation-building stage, absorb a trace of his spirit, and then eliminate his inner consciousness.
Then use a method from the immortal world's 'Soul Forgetting Sect'. After a ritual, you absorb it into your consciousness and nurture it for 49 days. This spirit will then be imbued with the aura of your soul.
This aura will slowly merge into your body and is difficult to separate. It can almost be seen as one with it, and you can take it out when the time comes. It will not harm your soul at all.
Even if this spirit is used or killed by others in the future, it will be of no use to you. The reason is that the sacrificial method is sophisticated, and I happened to obtain the sacrificial method of the 'Soul Forgetting Sect' in my early years.
However, its disadvantage is that, due to the limitation of my current cultivation level, if a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage or above personally examines it, he or she may still be able to find clues.
But I think that for a small foundation-building cultivator to light the soul lamp, at most a Jindan cultivator would be needed to supervise. After all, this is just the mortal world, and a Jindan cultivator is considered a high-level cultivator in the sect, so there is no need to worry. "
As soon as Pingtu finished speaking, he looked at Li Yan's still calm face and couldn't help feeling depressed.
"Excuse me, senior, do I need to kill someone to bring back that spirit? But if I want to find someone with the same aura, it would be difficult to find in a short period of time..."
Li Yan felt relieved at first, but then he frowned again.
Although he had a method, after he went out this time, he could sneak out of the sect and find a cultivator from other sects who was in the late tenth level of Qi Condensation or the Great Perfection stage, or even a casual cultivator, near the Wuliang Sect and kill him.
Whoever you meet at that time will be the one you meet. The life and death of others is not as important as your own life. But how can you find someone with a similar aura to yours by such a coincidence? It all depends on fate.
However, he couldn't stay outside the sect for too long. After all, he had to sneak out as a Qi Condensation Stage cultivator. Moreover, he was not sure whether the sect's protective formation could detect the cultivation level of those entering and leaving. He was hesitant for a moment.
As Li Yan embarked on the path of cultivating immortals for a longer time, his mentality had changed a lot without him realizing it, and he now cared more about his own gains and losses.
“Haha, that’s not necessary. I just said it’s the spirit of a living being, but it doesn’t have to be from humans, as long as it’s from a living being.
You don't have to worry about this. There are plenty of first-level monsters in this secret realm. There are also monsters with mixed bloodlines similar to the five elements' spiritual roots. I will go and find them, and then give them to you after I have refined them.
It’s just that during this period of time, you can only stay here to recuperate, otherwise it would be bad if your foundation-building aura leaked out in the Wuliang Sect.”
After hearing this, Li Yan was delighted and immediately gave up the idea of returning to Xiaozhu Peak.
Pingtu talked to him for a while about the things that needed to be paid attention to in nurturing the spirit, and then Li Yan walked directly to a corner of the secret room, lay down without caring about anything, and fell into a deep sleep in a moment.
… …
At this moment, outside, in Peiyang Market, Sun Guoshu was standing in a shop, talking to the owner in a somewhat exasperated tone. From time to time, the sound of quarrels could be heard, attracting the attention of other cultivators inside and outside the shop.
"Sun Guoshu, you don't have to use the Wuliang Sect to pressure others. I have kept this thing for you for four months. Even if what you said is true, I will sell it today.
Even if the Wuliang Sect monk you mentioned really existed, our store has given him four months. Our store is small and has little profit, so we cannot afford such a delay."
The shop owner was a thin middle-aged man with a small goatee on his chin. There was a look of helplessness in his small eyes.
After hearing this, Sun Guoshu's face froze and he spoke with a gloomy expression.
"Hu San, let me say it again, my son is a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak, and an inner disciple at that. According to your information, you must know how difficult it is to enter Xiaozhu Peak, right
There are only eight of them. I think the young master has gone out for training or seclusion, otherwise he would care about your little money. You keep this thing here, are you afraid that you won’t be able to sell it
I... I can make the decision and give you a 10% increase in price, how about that?"
Sun Guoshu gritted his teeth and raised the stakes.
"Ha ha ha, if you raise the price by 10%, I think you should just give it up. As long as you can take out 20,000 spirit stones now, I will immediately give you the original price. There is no need to raise the price."
The shop owner, Hu San, had a look of disdain on his face.
Four months ago, he purchased a "Nine Dragon Root" herb that was five hundred years old. On the same day, he was spotted by a gangster from the market town, who immediately said he wanted the herb.
However, he could not take out so many spirit stones immediately, so he asked Hu San to wait for a moment, and then sent a sound transmission note in front of him. Next, he told him with a proud look on his face that he was now working for a cultivator of the Wuliang Sect.
This "Nine Dragon Root" was exactly what the cultivator needed. He then continued to brag about it, leaving Hu San stunned. He couldn't help but envy Sun Guoshu.
How many people wanted to get close to the Wangliang Sect, but they tried their best but found no way. Unexpectedly, this gangster had such an opportunity. They could not help but be respectful to Sun Guoshu, and Sun Guoshu became more proud when he saw this.
However, as time passed, half a day passed in the idle chat between the two of them, causing Hu San's business for half a day to be taken care of by several waiters. When several very important guests came, he apologized and did not go to accompany them.
But by evening, the sound transmission note sent by Sun Guoshu fell into the sea without any response.
Similarly, no monk from the Wuliang Sect came here, which made Hu San's face gradually change.
