Seeing these flying sickle blood mantises, Li Yan finally understood.
“It turns out that the blood river has a nourishing effect on the flying sickle blood mantis. The three flying sickle blood mantises here with broken bodies should have been damaged in the battle with Zhuolingfeng’s black-armored demon dog after they were released earlier.
Including the few with intact bodies, there are a total of eight flying sickle blood mantises, and most of their aura is at the peak of the first-level monsters.
And there was one among them whose aura had reached the early stage of the second-order demon beast, which was equivalent to a powerful existence in the early stage of foundation building.
Its aura fluctuations are similar to those of He Manhua's Sky Blue Wolf. It seems that Blood Hand Fei sickle has a backup plan. He did not release this second-level monster Fei sickle blood mantis, which is a good deal for me."
Looking at the Flying Sickle Blood Mantises that kept roaring at him in the blood river, especially the early second-stage Flying Sickle Blood Mantis, which was staring at the space where Li Yan's consciousness was with a pair of cold eyes.
Li Yan smiled in his heart and withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to refine this folding fan, otherwise I won't be able to control those flying sickle blood mantises at all."
The hostility of the Blood Mantis Flying Scythe towards him was very obvious. Li Yan was very satisfied with this folding fan magic weapon, which was a rare attack and defense magic weapon. It was no wonder that the Blood Mantis Flying Scythe, with the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building, could withstand Zhuo Lingfeng's attack head-on.
Although this happened when Zhuo Lingfeng was distracted in dealing with the other two foundation-building cultivators, he also did not use his full strength.
"Even if he is a core figure of a second-rate sect, this Blood Hand Flying Scythe, as the deputy sect leader, only has one magic weapon."
Li Yan looked at the other things in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Afterwards, Li Yan turned his gaze to the other two piles of things, where there were also more than a dozen bottles and jars.
But after that, Li Yan's luck was not so good. Among the dozen or so porcelain bottles of the He brothers, a small half contained elixirs for cultivation. However, the aura contained in these elixirs was extremely violent, and it was obvious that they were the things of demonic cultivation.
There are also several bottles of poison pills, as well as healing items. These are the three types of pills that cultivators always have on hand. Their healing pills are similar to those of the Blood Hand Flying Scythe and are considered common among foundation-building cultivators.
Such elixirs are already excellent for second-rate sects, but compared with the healing elixirs on Li Yan's body, the effect is much worse. However, for general injuries, it is enough to deal with it, and Li Yan accepted it with a smile.
Among these porcelain bottles, there are three small ones. After Li Yan examined them, a strange look appeared on his face. He never expected that the He brothers were such promiscuous people.
He actually carried so many aphrodisiac pills with him. This was the first time that Li Yan had come into contact with them outside of classics.
When he was checking just now, he only smelled a little bit of the scent emitted by the pill, and he felt that the blood and energy in his body were out of control and became a little agitated. Even his breathing, which had been calm all along, became a little disordered.
Li Yan burned all the fire without hesitation, and with a flick of his sleeves, he drove all the burning smell out of the window. Then he meditated and breathed for a long time before his mind calmed down again.
"You really shouldn't touch this kind of elixir!"
When Li Yan opened his eyes, he saw everything clearly.
Looking at the remaining things again, Li Yan still put the spiritual treasures, spiritual tools, and a bunch of miscellaneous items aside.
There was a green abacus and a scarred mace left on the ground. Li Yan's spiritual sense swept over these two things. He had seen the green abacus and the mace before.
At this moment, he was lying on the ground, with bursts of demonic energy emanating from him. If he wanted to use it, he had to eliminate the demonic energy first.
But in that case, the power of these two magic weapons would be greatly reduced, especially the mace which was already half broken, and Li Yan had no intention of finding someone to refine it again.
"Both the elixir and the magic weapon are too full of demonic energy. It seems that I can only sell them with other things and exchange them for some spirit stones next time I go to the market."
Li Yan couldn't help but shook his head. The He brothers' things were not suitable for him at all. Fortunately, the more than 50,000 spirit stones he had obtained before were considered a considerable gain.
After Li Yan's spiritual sense swept over those spiritual weapons and treasures again, he found that they were all of ordinary grade as he expected.
When he got here, Li Yan planned to put these things away temporarily.
But just as he raised his arm, he paused, because among the pile of miscellaneous items of the He brothers, a piece of brocade handkerchief caught his eyes.
This handkerchief is as white as jade, with a red maple leaf embroidered on it. It looks very much like something a lady in her boudoir might wear.
Li Yan had seen it before, but because he thought of those aphrodisiac pills, he thought it was just the evil hobby of the two brothers and did not take it seriously.
At this moment, because its color was as white as jade, it was very eye-catching among the pile of things, so he couldn't help but scan it again with his spiritual sense.
But this time, Li Yan just let out a light exclamation.
Because this piece of brocade is not an ordinary object, there is a very faint trace of spiritual energy on it.
The reason why Li Yan was surprised was that the handkerchief did not emit any demonic energy. It was so different among the He brothers' pile of immortal cultivation items. Moreover, the whiteness of the handkerchief actually carried a hint of holiness.
Li Yan's eyes were full of doubts, and he couldn't help but use his spiritual sense to scan it carefully again. This time he strengthened the power of his spiritual sense.
The next moment, Li Yan couldn't help but be shocked, because in his consciousness, the brocade handkerchief seemed a little illusory. It was clearly there, but it seemed extremely unreal, which was completely different from its appearance.
This made Li Yan very curious, so he stretched out his hand and the handkerchief flew lightly into his hand. The moment it fell into his hand, it was as smooth as water. A cool feeling directly penetrated into his body through the palm of his hand, making Li Yan's mind calm down a little.
Li Yan held the handkerchief in his hand, turning it over and over to examine it for a while. The black spiritual light on his hand suddenly increased and instantly poured into the handkerchief. As his magic power entered the handkerchief, the handkerchief directly expanded and became the size of a basin in the blink of an eye. But then, no matter how much magic power Li Yan continued to pour into it, it did not grow any larger. Instead, as more magic power was poured into it, the main body became more and more transparent and illusory, as if it was about to disappear into the air.
Seeing this, Li Yan stopped infusing his magic power into the weapon and pointed his finger at the handkerchief, which immediately flew to the ground, towards the half-broken mace.
The next moment, it fell on the mace as light as a feather, but nothing happened afterwards, and it did not produce the hidden effect that was imagined.
There was no magical power emitted from the interaction of the two magic weapons. In Li Yan's consciousness, the mace was still lying on the ground, with the brocade handkerchief covering a part of the handle, and everything was the same as before.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes and flicked his finger in the air, and the brocade handkerchief flew to a spiritual weapon nearby. After the spiritual weapon came into contact with the brocade handkerchief, the two were still in peace.
Seeing this situation, Li Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought.
"It has no ability to attack either magic weapons or spiritual tools. Looking at its illusory appearance at the beginning, I thought it was a magic weapon that could hide and cover things, but it can't cover anything."
While thinking, Li Yan once again took the brocade handkerchief from the spiritual weapon back into his hand.
Next, he began to try various spells that he knew to drive the magic weapon. Time passed little by little. After nearly an hour, Li Yan looked at the white jade handkerchief in his hand helplessly.
He had just tried all the magic spells he knew, but this piece of brocade had no other function except that it would grow to the size of a washbasin when magic power was poured into it.
Li Yan then invaded the brocade handkerchief with his spiritual consciousness, but he only saw strands of silk that looked like the ones used to weave the brocade handkerchief. These threads were messy and disorderly, but each of them sparkled with a crystal luster.
Li Yan looked for so long that even his consciousness became dizzy.
Although he didn't find any useful clues, the more he thought about it, the more Li Yan felt that this brocade handkerchief was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but ponder over it.
"A demon cultivator actually has girl's stuff on him, and the silk threads inside the brocade handkerchief seem to have some kind of pattern, it seems..."
After a long time, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Li Yan's mind, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
He suddenly remembered the dizzy feeling he had when observing those silk threads before, and he always had a sense of déjà vu.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered what happened when the He brothers and Hu Chen Wuding were on guard against each other in front of the teleportation array in Xuanqing Temple.
It was during that period of time that Li Yan was bored. While waiting, he stared at the ancient wandering runes in the white light on the teleportation formation, but when he stared at them for a little longer, he would feel dizzy.
The ancient runes in the white light and the white silk threads in the brocade handkerchief had surprisingly similar effects on his spiritual consciousness.
In the past, every time Li Yan was teleported, he would just teleport to the destination and leave. He had never observed it as carefully as he did in Xuanqing Temple, so he couldn't think of this matter for a while.
"Could it be that this brocade handkerchief also has the same effect as the formation flags, and is it a set of formation tools?"
When Li Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
"It would be great if there was a defensive formation!"
Li Yan thought with some excitement in his heart. Of course, he did not expect that this piece of brocade handkerchief would be a small non-directional teleportation array. If there was such a treasure, even the Yuanying ancestor would directly snatch it after knowing it.
Li Yan simply raised his hand and the brocade handkerchief fell to the ground.
This time, Li Yan used the spell to open the formation and hit the brocade handkerchief. Just when Li Yan looked over with hope, he saw that the brocade handkerchief was exactly the same as it was an hour ago. How could there be any reaction
"Am I wrong?"
Li Yan stared at the brocade handkerchief on the ground in a daze, and then he cast out a series of different formation spells. After dozens of breaths, Li Yan felt helpless again, looking at the brocade handkerchief lying motionless on the ground.
"Forget it, it seems I can only study it later."
Li Yan had no temper for this thing. Just when he was about to take it back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the formation flag at the corner of the wall. It was a defensive formation he had set up.
"Does this thing need to be used in conjunction with the formation flag?"
Thinking of this, Li Yan pointed casually, and the handkerchief flew directly towards the flag in the corner. If this guess still didn't work, he had no new ideas and could only give up for the time being.
But the moment the brocade handkerchief entered the coverage area of the formation flags, Li Yan's originally casual expression suddenly froze, and his spiritual sense quickly swept towards that place.
But then, a scene that stunned him happened. No matter how he scanned with his spiritual sense, his eyes could clearly see the brocade handkerchief, but the brocade handkerchief in his spiritual sense had mysteriously disappeared.
At the location where the brocade scarf was, a large hole suddenly appeared in the originally intact defensive formation, allowing Li Yan's spiritual consciousness to enter and exit freely without any obstruction.
If this weird scene had not happened right under Li Yan's nose, he would not have believed it no matter what was said.
The next moment, Li Yan's heart began to beat like a war drum, and his face showed ecstasy.
He stepped down from the bed in one step, first brushed his sleeves to pick up the other things on the ground, then grabbed the brocade handkerchief, and disappeared from the room in the next moment, without a trace...
An hour later, when Li Yan appeared in his room again, there was unconcealable joy and excitement on his face.
This time, he had picked up a treasure. Even if he didn't get the 50,000 spirit stones and the folding fan, he wouldn't feel sorry at all!
