As Li Yan listened to Xu Shi's narration, his aura subsided. In fact, he had already made a guess when he saw the clothes the two were wearing.
The first thing he thought of was when he first joined the Wuliang Sect. He was unwilling to join the sect because he was worried that Marshal Hong and Military Advisor Ji would die in Qingshan Pass, and Mengguo would take the opportunity to attack and his parents would suffer from war.
The eldest senior brother said at the time that he had arranged for the local immortal cultivation sect to notify the two countries and secretly protect his family. He did not expect that until today, there are still two families waiting here.
Li Yan didn't know that after receiving the arrangement from Wu Shixi and the other two, the Xueye Sect and the other two immortal cultivation families attached great importance to this matter.
He immediately notified the disciples in charge of Huang Chao and Meng Kingdom, but he was still a little worried.
After the three families discussed, they took turns sending disciples to guard Li Yan's family here, but they also abided by the rule that immortals and mortals should not interact with each other. They just guarded in secret but did not interfere in their lives.
The Xueye Sect and the two immortal cultivation families were very enthusiastic about this matter. This was a big deal to climb up to the top of the Wuliang Sect, and they wished the other two families would not come.
But what surprised them was that since they had been waiting, no one from the Wuliang Sect had come. This guarding lasted for four years, but the three families still did not dare to slack off, for fear that a single negligence would lead to a missed opportunity, or that an unexpected disaster would happen to Li Yan's family due to their own problems.
In fact, when Li Yan and the other two were at the Xueye Sect last night, Master Xueye had already guessed about Li Yan's identity, but he saw that they were three monks from the Wuliang Sect who came at the same time, and their cultivation levels were similar to his.
It has only been four years since the immortal cultivator from the small mountain village arrived, so he is probably only at the Qi Condensation Stage at most.
After thinking about it again and again, Master Xueye still didn't dare to ask. While he was hesitating, a matter of life and death for the sect was at hand, so he just kept the matter in his heart.
"Then, do the Li family here know where their soldiers have gone?"
Li Yan's heart moved and he continued to ask.
"Oh, this matter involves matters of immortals and mortals. Following the arrangement of the three immortals from the Wuling Sect, we have informed the garrison here and asked them to spread the news that he, the military advisor at the time, and the marshal were all transferred from here to serve elsewhere. All other news was blocked."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shi could not help but answer carefully. He didn't know why this senior asked so clearly.
"Oh, I see! Also, has anything happened to the Li family here in recent years?"
After hearing this, Li Yan felt relieved. These arrangements could be considered as an explanation for his disappearance. He even casually asked about matters at home.
Although the mountain village was not far ahead, he actually felt uneasy and wanted to learn some information from others in advance.
Xu Shi and Wang Wuying lowered their heads and looked at each other. They couldn't help but feel strange that this senior seemed very interested in this. However, this matter was not a secret and it could not be concealed. Xu Shi continued to lower his head and answer respectfully.
"My dear senior, I know that everything is fine in the Li family. Life is relatively peaceful. Apart from marrying off my daughter three years ago and marrying another daughter-in-law, there are no other major events."
After hearing this, Li Yan was stunned, and a sense of loneliness instantly arose in his heart.
"I didn't expect that my fourth sister has married far away..."
At the same time, there was also some joy in my heart.
"Third brother has started a family and a career, which is really a good thing."
For a moment, Li Yan felt the vicissitudes of life. Although it was only four years, the situation at home was completely different from when he left home.
After a while, while Xu Shi and Wang Wuying were feeling uneasy, Li Yan nodded.
"Well, then you two continue to wait here!"
Gong Chenying and Zhao Min also understood what they heard. They also heard that the sect would protect the family and direct relatives of disciples who were born as mortals. However, this was the first time they had encountered this.
After Li Yan finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave. After taking a step, he paused and turned back.
Xu Shi and the other two just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Yan turn around, but they still maintained respect on their faces. When the three were about to leave, the male cultivator unexpectedly turned back again.
Xu Shi and the other two suddenly felt uneasy again and became nervous, thinking that the person in front of them had changed his mind.
Li Yan turned his head, thought for a moment, then slapped his waist with his hand. After a flash of white light, two small porcelain bottles appeared in his hand. He spoke to Xu Shi and the other two.
"Meeting is fate, so I'll give these two bottles of elixir to you two. Next time you two go back, you can tell Master Xueye that whatever he wants will be fine, and everything in the Xueye Sect will be fine within a hundred years. Just tell him this and he'll understand."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the porcelain bottle in his hand turned into two green lights, which shot towards the two people respectively.
Xu Shi and Wang Wuying were stunned when they heard it. Before they could think clearly, they saw two green light flashing towards them. They could not help but reach out to catch them. When they looked up, they saw three figures around them.
"This this… "
Xu Shi and Wang Wuying held the porcelain bottle in a daze. For a moment, they didn't know what was going on.
After a while, Wang Wuying was the first to wake up. Looking at the green porcelain bottle in his hand, he pulled out the cork in confusion.
Suddenly, a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out from the bottle, immediately making the pitifully small amount of spiritual energy in this world gather towards his palm.
He tilted the bottle out of curiosity, and immediately, a crystal pill the size of a grain of rice rolled out of the bottle. As soon as the pill came out of the porcelain bottle, more spiritual energy from the surroundings flew here like a hungry tiger, making the world that originally lacked spiritual energy feel moist.
"This... This is the 'Spiritual Ascension Pill'!"
Following Wang Wuying's movements, Xu Shi's gaze also moved over. When he saw the pill clearly, his breathing became rapid and he cried out in surprise.
"Spiritual Enhancement Pill? Is this the Spiritual Enhancement Pill?"
Wang Wuying was also surprised when he heard this. He knew that this senior brother was knowledgeable and well-read, but he had heard of the name of this elixir before.
"Yes, this is the Shengling Pill. I have read the introduction of it in the classics. Both its appearance and smell are exactly the same as described in the classics.
But it is a first-class high-quality elixir, which only appears in second-rate sects and above, and is rarely equipped for disciples. I heard that only in first-rate sects is this elixir more common, and it is of great help to our Qi Condensation Stage cultivation and advancement."
The more Xu spoke, the heavier his breathing became, and one of his hands was already tightly grasping the green porcelain bottle, as if he was afraid it would fly away.
After hearing this, Wang Wuying on the other side quickly put the pill in his hand back into the porcelain bottle. After looking around, he quickly put the porcelain bottle into the storage bag.
This kind of elixir is something that one could never get even in their dreams in the Blood Leaf Sect. If other people in the sect knew about it, they might want to snatch it away. This bottle of elixir is of course extremely important to the cultivation of the two of them.
It was not until a while later that the two of them finally came to their senses. Xu Shi also put the pill away carefully, then looked at Wang Wuying, quickly released his spiritual sense, and after a moment, confirmed that there was no one here, he transmitted his voice.
“Junior Brother Wang, you and I know about this matter, and we must not let any third party know about it. Otherwise, with our cultivation levels, we are not the best in the sect. Being robbed is a small matter, and being killed to silence us is also a natural thing. You must remember this, remember!”
"I've saved my mind from this matter, Brother Xu, don't worry, how dare I say anything nonsense."
Wang Wuying also carefully transmitted the message, and the two looked at each other, and after a moment, they smiled knowingly.
"Brother Xu, who are these three seniors, and why did they suddenly give such a precious elixir?"
After a while, when his mood calmed down, Wang Wuying thought of Li Yan and the other two. He looked around again and asked in a voice transmission.
Xu Shize seemed to be thinking about something ever since he finished talking to Wang Wuying. After hearing Wang Wuying's question, he replied very respectfully.
"The three seniors came and went without a trace, and I couldn't tell where they came from. I guess they were just passing by... right? No... "
At first, Xu Shi spoke slowly with respect for Li Yan and the other two, but at the end, he suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong? Senior Brother Xu?"
Wang Wuying was listening to Xu's voice transmission, but the other party's face suddenly changed drastically, and the voice transmission turned into an exclamation.
"You... you... do you remember the senior who gave you the medicine? Have you heard of the style of the robe he wore?"
Xu Shi's breathing became heavier again and he asked in a hurry.
Before, the two of them were intimidated by the pressure from Li Yan and the other two, and did not dare to look up at all. It was only when they saw Li Yan off at the end that they raised their heads slightly and glanced. Now that they thought about it, they seemed to have seen that robe in the sect's jade slips.
"Robe?? What's wrong? It should be black?? No, it should be dark green... Dark green?"
After hearing what Xu Shi said, Wang Wuying was a little confused. He recalled suspiciously and spoke at the same time. But when he figured it out, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind and he screamed in surprise.
"You also remembered that the robe was similar to the Wuliang Sect's clothing and tokens used to introduce the monks of various major sects. And now I also remember that I vaguely seemed to see a flash of a golden logo on the cuffs of that senior...
That’s right, they… Oh, at least the senior who gave the medicine should be a monk from the Wuling Sect!”
Xu's face lost its usual calmness and showed excitement.
"So, the three seniors are all monks of the Wuling Sect, but what is the purpose of giving us the elixir? Is it because we are here to guard it?"
Wang Wuying thought quickly in his mind, and he thought of a possibility, and the light in his eyes became brighter.
"But the monk from the Wuliang Sect we are waiting for has only been in the sect for four years. It is impossible for him to have such a high level of cultivation. Could it be that this senior is considering that they are from the same sect?"
Wang Wuying continued to talk to himself.
“Hehehe… maybe!
The three seniors might have done this for the sake of our protection of their fellow clan members... However, do you remember that the three seniors left first, clearly heading towards the small mountain village ahead
Moreover, the senior who gave the medicine was very young, not as if he had lost his youth. And, now look at that place…”
While Xu was speaking, he pointed in a direction ahead. The direction he pointed to was exactly where the small mountain village was.
The two of them were already standing on the top of the mountain. Wang Wuying followed Xu Shizhi's pointing and looked over, only to see three figures walking slowly towards the small mountain village on a distant path.
"Could it be that we have really met the real master while waiting here?"
Wang Wuying asked uncertainly.
"Okay, Junior Brother Wang, don't think too much. Whether it's what the senior just told us or the senior's possible identity, it's not something we can discuss. Otherwise..."
When he said this, there was a hint of fear in his eyes. The hierarchy among immortal cultivators was strict, and even if one was preaching behind their backs, one could easily bring disaster upon oneself if one was not careful.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
After hearing this, Wang Wuying quickly shut up and quickly retracted his gaze to look at the three people.
After a pause, Xu Shi spoke with a serious expression.
"We must quickly report what happened here to the sect before the two families find out. Only one person will stay here, and the other will go to the teleportation array and rush back to the sect as quickly as possible to report to the sect leader and the ancestor in person!"
After Li Yan and the other two disappeared, he saw that there was no one on the small path in the mountains from the air, and then he landed again. He looked at Gong Chenying and Zhao Min, and suddenly spoke.
"Through what happened just now, no one in my family knows about my cultivation, so it doesn't shock the world."
Li Yan thought about his bizarre experience. If he told others about it, his family would think he was crazy.
Dong Fuyi had already told him in advance, so even when he arrived at the Wuliang Sect, he still found the immortal in front of him unbelievable.
The two girls nodded upon hearing this, but deep down they still felt that it was unnecessary. They had grown up in an environment of cultivating immortals, and they felt that it was natural for them to go to a middle school to cultivate immortals.
"Then, when my family introduces you to me, I will say that one of you is from a family of imperial physicians in the palace, and the other is the daughter of a frontier marshal.
When we leave, we can tell the people guarding here the reason. Even if my parents ask others about it in the future, they will only get this information. "
After Li Yan finished speaking, he blinked his eyes cunningly.
The two girls didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, but how could they have the petty thoughts of Li Yan? There were some things Li Yan didn't say.
If he brings the girl back like this, his parents and other people in the village will have all kinds of speculations when they see her, and someone will naturally ask about it. He will just pretend to be confused then.
But some gossip will be heard by the two girls anyway. Gong Chenying will acquiesce. Zhao Min? Then Li Yan will be able to see it.
Zhao Min was still looking around curiously. How could she know how terrible the gossips among the women in the mountain villages were
