What Advisor Ji didn't know was that this was just a little trick Dong Fuyi played before his spiritual power collapsed, just to give Li Yan a greater chance of escape.
He deliberately made such a treasure map. The terrain and topography in the map were instilled into him by the wisp of spiritual consciousness wandering outside.
At that time, in order to find a way to remove the fire poison, Military Advisor Ji almost traveled all the routes he had taken in his previous search for immortals, so the divine consciousness in the jade book naturally knew where he had been, and it was not easy for Dong Fuyi to find such a place among these memories.
However, there are some small details to drawing this map, and the distance cannot be short, so that he can find the place quickly. When he finds out it is fake, he can naturally come back in the shortest time possible.
At the same time, the journey cannot be too far, as there are extremely powerful monsters and ghosts in the depths of the Daqing Mountains, which are not something a small cultivator like Master Ji can deal with.
With the mind of Strategist Ji, he would not go to places that were too deep. So he had to find a range that he could accept, and then piece together the topography of other places to make such a plausible map.
During this period, Li Yan will have a long time to escape from this place!
It's just that he was on the verge of spiritual collapse when communicating with Li Yan at that time, and Li Yan himself had no idea what cultivation was. In addition, it happened to be a time of great changes, so Dong Fuyi had to spend more time explaining.
Moreover, he had to make Li Yan believe him, and he communicated the necessary things in a hurry. In the end, he could only barely use up the last bit of his magic power to carve this picture. Before he could tell Li Yan, the divine thought had already disappeared, and Li Yan was unaware of this.
During this afternoon, Division Master Ji was thinking about whether the map was real or fake, and whether it was feasible. If it was really the place he guessed, it would be very dangerous, and it was hard to say whether he could escape safely.
Even if he could reach the place marked in the picture safely, how could he enter the treasure place? What dangers would there be after entering? All of these were unpredictable.
But if he didn't go, the jade book that he had opened after so many years of eager anticipation would be wasted, and he would also most likely lose the chance of survival. How could he be willing to accept that
After thinking for a long time, Advisor Ji still couldn't come up with a perfect plan until Li Yan arrived.
After Li Yan entered the room and sat cross-legged, Advisor Ji calmed himself down and said with a smile.
"How do you feel now?"
Li Yan quickly replied respectfully.
"Teacher Qibing, I feel like my body is much lighter than before, and my six senses are much sharper than before."
After hearing this, Division Master Ji was delighted and had a look of great relief on his face.
"That's good, that's good! This means that through your hard work during this period, you have successfully advanced to the first level of the 'Mu Yin Gong'. Your hard work is well known to your master, but you must guard against arrogance and continue to practice as usual.
In the few days left as your teacher, I hope to see you make further progress. This will make all my efforts worthwhile and will also make me live up to the ancestors of the sect."
By the end, the joy on Division Ji's face had turned into a sad expression.
As Li Yan listened, his expression became a little worried.
"Teacher, your health will be fine. I must practice harder, just... just... just..."
Li Yan spoke in a decisive tone, but later on he became hesitant.
Strategist Ji looked calm at first, but he couldn't help but frown after hearing what happened next.
"how?"
Li Yan looked at Strategist Ji and said with some uncertainty.
"It's just... it's just that I feel that after I advance to the first level, it's fine if I don't practice Qigong. But once I practice Qigong, the hot air in my Dantian seems to be even more intense. It seems that there is something wrong with my practice."
After listening to what Li Yan said, Division Master Ji's face remained calm.
"I was wondering what was going on. It was because of this situation. You have just entered a new realm, and I, your master, have not had the chance to explain some things to you.
This is not a bad thing. Firstly, you have just entered a certain level and it is not stable yet.
Second, you have advanced to the first level, so you can no longer practice the "breath guidance technique" and need to practice the corresponding level of mantras.
Third, there are still some residual medicines in your meridians. When you use these medicines to cultivate to the second level of "Mu Yin Gong", everything will be back to normal. "
Advisor Ji stared into Li Yan's eyes, and when he saw the fear and hesitation on his face slowly fade away as he listened, he nodded in satisfaction.
"I will teach you the first level of cultivation formula now. You must remember it well and not make any mistakes."
With a flip of his right hand, a page of paper appeared on the table, with about a hundred words on it.
Li Yan bowed slightly to express his gratitude, then picked up the mnemonics on the table and read them carefully. After a while, he had finished reading it and looked up at Strategist Ji.
Upon seeing this, Division 3 began to narrate the story word by word… .
Watching Li Yan's figure disappear at the door, Master Ji lightly swept his right hand across the paper on the table, and the page of paper floated up without wind, and then spontaneously combusted into ashes in the air.
He just stared blankly at the door. After half a cup of tea, he seemed to have made some decision. He stood up and walked slowly towards the door!
Li Yan didn't know that he originally had a great chance to escape from here, but unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. Dong Fuyi did not have time to tell him the tricks he had left, so he missed a great opportunity to escape in vain.
Time is always too thin, slipping through your fingers like fine sand and running water!
Li Yan practiced hard in the valley every day, and often came out only once every two or three days. He could not practice fasting at this time, but his physique was already very different from that of ordinary people.
It is also possible to go without food and drink for two days. Sometimes one is so absorbed in cultivation that one does not leave the room until one wakes up from hunger from cultivation.
After he came out of his training several times, he gave people the impression that his personality had become a little irritable. He would yell at people if they were not satisfied, which made the women who delivered meals to them very frightened every time.
Finally, Chen An and Li Yin had to come and deliver some food, but they gradually discovered that Li Yan began to lose his good face towards them, which made them very depressed.
The two of them were the confidants of Military Advisor Ji. Before going out every time, Military Advisor Ji would always instruct them to take good care of Li Yan, and to try their best to satisfy any requests. However, Li Yan must not be allowed to leave the Military Advisor's Mansion easily.
Now Li Yan's training is getting more intense and he must not slack off. If Li Yan goes out, he must be informed.
As Li Yan's temper became worse, Chen An and Li Yin also began to complain privately, but Master Ji had not returned since he left more than ten days ago, and no one knew what he had gone for. In the past, Master Ji would go out for at most half a day and a night, and then return to the valley, but this time, no one knew why.
In the following days, Chen An and Li Yin began to feel a little more at ease. They didn't know what kind of weird things this gentleman in the back valley had done to make them find writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. They often picked up books and poems on the bookshelf in the house and copied the poems on them.
They would write for half a day or even a whole day, leaving the floor covered with ink and paper. Fortunately, Li Yan was immersed in writing and was less likely to scold them.
But when they went to pack up carefully, they had to put on a smile and ask Li Yan what to do with the papers, whether to frame them and hang them on the wall, or to sort them out and put them in a big box for collection.
Every time, Li Yan would impatiently tell them to take the scribbled papers and get out. They had no choice but to take them out, but they didn't dare to throw them away.
They were afraid that this gentleman might go crazy someday and remember these ghost-like manuscripts. If they couldn't take them out, he would inevitably scold them again, so they had to find a few large boxes to pack them up.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, many people were surprised to find that Li Yan's temper seemed to have gradually calmed down a lot, and he even regained some of his previous politeness in speaking to them, leaving the group of people in the valley confused for a while and not knowing why.
Li Yan was actually very depressed. He had been practicing very hard recently and had to perform occasionally when he came out.
But what surprised him most was that he did not find his teacher in the valley these two or three times he went out, let alone seeing these performances in front of him, so he could not really see the other party's reaction.
In the past, Master Ji would go out occasionally, so it was normal that he couldn't be seen after practicing, so Li Yan didn't take it to heart at first.
But in the past ten days, he had come out several times, but he never saw her. This made him suddenly realize that something was wrong.
After observing for another day, he finally arrived at the door of the first stone house, but there was no familiar inquiring voice from Master Ji. Li Yan felt his heart beating violently in his chest.
He walked forward, raised his hand and knocked on the door, paused for a moment, and still there was no response from inside the house. He quickly walked to the entrance of the valley and shouted loudly.
"Chen An, Chen An, come here quickly."
Chen An ran out of the stone house outside the valley with a nervous look on his face. The soldiers behind him looked at Chen An's back with sympathy and thought to themselves.
"What happened to this gentleman today? He actually walked out of the valley and started shouting."
These soldiers are not responsible for the affairs of the inner valley. The affairs of the inner valley are basically handled by several women, Chen An and Li Yin. Recently, they can see that Chen An and his men have suffered a lot.
Looking at Chen An who was running towards him, Li Yan asked casually without waiting for the other party to stop.
"Chen An, how come I haven't seen my teacher in these few times of training? Is he not in the valley recently?"
"Master Qi Bing, Master Ji has been out for more than ten days. I don't know if he has something to do in the city or something else. I am not sure about the details."
When Chen An heard about this, he immediately let go of his nervousness and said with a smile on his face.
"What? The teacher has been out for more than ten days?"
When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his voice and became angry. This time he was not pretending, he was really anxious.
When Chen An saw Li Yan's sudden change of color and look of exasperation, he couldn't help but feel scared.
"Isn't it normal for Master Ji to go out? Besides, you didn't ask us?"
But he didn't dare to be negligent in his words. He glanced at Li Yan out of the corner of his eye and spoke cautiously.
"Sir, do you have anything to ask Master Ji? If I can handle it, just let us know."
Li Yan was shocked and realized that he was possessed. He immediately turned serious and scolded again.
"I'm looking for a teacher to help me solve some problems in my cultivation. Can you still help me?"
After saying that, he glanced at Chen An.
Chen An's face turned bitter.
"Sir, I can't do this!"
"Then why are you asking? Let me ask you, do you know when the teacher will return home?"
Li Yan asked.
"This... I don't know, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe."
"Alright, alright, if you don't know, then you don't know. Why today, tomorrow... that's all nonsense!"
After Li Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the valley without even looking at Chen An.
Chen An couldn't help but sigh as he stood at the entrance of the valley. This assignment was so damn unlucky that it had to fall on him.
Then he turned and walked towards the area outside the valley, and was greeted by a burst of laughter.
Chen An took a look and saw that except for Li Yin who was standing in the open space and a few women at the kitchen door who looked helpless, the rest of the soldiers were looking at him with mocking expressions. He couldn't help but get annoyed.
"You bunch of idlers, why are you standing here without any reason instead of patrolling?"
He knew that these soldiers had long disliked the two of them. Why was it that only the two of them and the women could enter the inner valley, while no one else could enter
Who wouldn’t want to be closer to the masters? So the women just gave up, after all, they were just servants who cleaned the house or cooked.
But Chen An and Li Yin can often go to the valley to work with the adults and the young master, which has invisibly distanced them from the other soldiers. Recently, seeing that the two of them are often in trouble, the soldiers are naturally happy to see this.
The soldiers didn't say anything. They just chuckled, blew a whistle, and went their separate ways, leaving only Chen An and Li Yin standing on the open ground.
