Hu Chen Wanmu was also surprised as he looked at Li Yan who was walking slowly towards him.
Although the poisonous creatures he encountered in the first few dozen feet were not too difficult for him to deal with, he still had to use one of the only two "Ningshuang Pills" he had to get here safely.
The "Ningshuang Pill" was made from the raw materials he had gathered with great effort. He spent more than 6,000 spirit stones, but in the end, he only made two pills.
If it wasn't for repaying the Fourth Mistress's kindness today, he would not have been willing to use it at all. Although this pill cannot be said to be able to cure thousands of poisons, it can still cure hundreds of poisons. The pill in his mouth now has already melted by 40%.
When he was passing through the first few dozen feet quickly, the "Ningshuang Pill" played a crucial role, allowing him to get here with unstoppable force.
But now he had only wasted nearly half a cup of tea, and that boy actually walked here leisurely. Looking at Li Yan's appearance, it seemed that he did not exert any effort at all.
"Could it be that he also has a pill similar to the 'Ningshuang Pill'? Otherwise, how could he be so relaxed? Where did this person come from? His cultivation gives me a very strange feeling."
Hu Chen Wanmu thought angrily in his heart. He had been thinking about it for almost half a cup of tea, but still couldn't come up with a foolproof plan.
However, Li Yan had already walked to the front of the peach blossom forest at this time, and he couldn't help but want to see how Li Yan did it.
Moreover, he would not remind Li Yan that the attack from those petals alone was not something that a person at the tenth level of Qi Condensation could withstand; it was an overwhelming attack.
Just one petal is equivalent to the entire cultivation of the cultivator named Li in front of you.
It would be even better if Li Yan could be seriously injured, or die directly under the petals. He only needs to move forward to the edge of the peach blossom forest. Even if he can't go through it, he will be closer to the top of the mountain.
By then, he would have completed the task assigned to him by Ye Luoyan.
Li Yan just glanced at Hu Chen Wanmu, then set his gaze forward, and his spiritual sense swept directly towards the peach blossom forest. The next moment, there was a look of doubt in Li Yan's eyes.
He did not feel any difference between the peach trees and peach blossoms, but he had noticed the disgusting three-legged earthworms under the fishy earthworm leaves.
He was also familiar with the fishy earthworm leaves, and he also knew about the parasitic monster called the three-legged earthworm.
Li Yan pondered for a moment, then with a burst of spiritual light on his body, he walked straight forward.
He also noticed the unusualness of the peach blossom forest ahead, but he was unwilling to stay here. If there was a strong poison hidden in the peach blossom forest, that would be exactly what he needed.
Now, every increase in his mana required more powerful toxins to devour it. This was much easier than months of hard training, although every absorption brought him inexplicable pain.
Li Yan arrived in front of the peach blossom forest in a few steps. Just as he approached, the petals that were originally fluttering as light as feathers, like ferocious beasts smelling blood, and a few petals flew towards him like meteors chasing the moon.
The speed of the ball changed so quickly that Li Yan was shocked. It was like a feather the moment before, and the next moment it was like a meteorite from outer space, smashing towards him with a terrifying whistling sound.
Feeling the thunderous aura contained in each petal, Li Yan pinched his fingers and several fireballs as big as fists shot directly into the air like meteors chasing the moon.
"Boom boom boom..."
Amid a series of explosions, fireballs collided head-on with the petals, causing a series of dazzling flames to burst out in the air.
Li Yan took the opportunity to shake his body and float backwards quickly.
As his body moved backward, the petals and the fireball exploded at the same time, and a patch of pink appeared in the air.
After Li Yan was several feet away from the peach blossom forest, the forest returned to normal again. The petals fluttered and slowed down again, like pink snowflakes dancing in the sky and lightly falling...
As Li Yan made his move, Hu Chen Wanmu on the side couldn't help but focus his eyes, and finally he understood.
"I see! This kid is actually also a foundation-building cultivator. When I saw him dare to take part in this assessment, I thought it was a bit strange. It turns out that he is hiding his cultivation.
But judging from his appearance, he should be in the initial stage of foundation building! But... even if that's the case, what can he do
I am close to the realm of false elixir and cannot pass it easily, so how can he pass this level? But in this case, I had originally hoped that he would be able to pass it, but he was severely injured by the sudden attack just now, but now he can't.
It seems that I have to get through here as soon as possible, but... in this case, I can only use that talisman."
When Hu Chen Wanmu thought of this, he immediately felt conflicted.
He had spent half of his fortune to buy that talisman at an auction, and it was meant to be used to save his life. Could he really use it for Ye Luoyan's lineage
This is really not worth it. He had thought about using the talisman before, but he hesitated several times and was reluctant to do it.
Now it seemed that he and Li Yan might be deadlocked here, and he would not be able to complete the task assigned by Ye Luoyan. So although this thought arose again, he was still hesitant.
Li Yan was attacked unexpectedly. In order to withstand the simultaneous attack of several Qi Condensation level 10 cultivators, he could no longer conceal his cultivation level.
Everyone in the square suddenly realized what was going on.
If Li Yan is a foundation-building cultivator, even in the early stages of foundation-building, this would mean that he has a chance of winning. After all, this level of assessment is not about the basic spells in the Ghostly Poison Scroll, and some deadly poisons can be resisted with strong magic power.
Hu Chen Huiqing's beautiful eyes moved and she looked at Hu Chen Wuding angrily.
"Your friend is clearly at the foundation-building stage. Even when Second Sister asked you about it, you tried to cover it up. Are you afraid that Second Sister will tell others?"
Hu Chen Wuding was also in a trance, muttering.
"Second sister, I just found out that Brother Li is a foundation-building cultivator. Do you believe me
Don't talk about me. Even Uncle Sang, with his cultivation level, has never seen through Brother Li's cultivation level. I really don't know what kind of skills Brother Li is practicing, or if he has a magic weapon with hidden aura on him. "
"You don't know either? No way? How could he risk his life for you? That was a test competition set by the ancestor. Although your life is safe, you can still get seriously injured if you are not careful.
Besides, the ancestor himself said that there is a "basic restriction" area inside. If you say that you two don't have a very good relationship, I don't believe it."
Hu Chen Huiqing thought about it, looked puzzled, and asked several questions in succession.
"I told you the truth. As for some of the things, I cannot reveal them now. I just found out that Brother Li... oh, it should be Senior Li, I just found out that he is a foundation-building cultivator."
Hu Chen Wuding answered seriously. As soon as he said this, Zhuo Lingfeng, who had been silent all the time, also nodded. This made Hu Chen return to his doubts, and he turned his head to look at the huge light curtain in the air, and then talked to himself.
"But he has too many magic weapons. In addition to the magic weapons that hide his cultivation, he also has magic weapons that can detoxify. This is why his family has such a deep foundation..."
Looking at Ye Luoyan's somewhat embarrassed expression, Xie Xiaoxiao on the other side chuckled.
“I thought before that the guy didn’t send out his strongest person, but now it seems that’s not necessarily the case. This person is a poison cultivator, and he is a poison cultivator with a valuable treasure.
Plus, with his foundation-building strength, if we don't confront him head-on, the treasures he carries might be able to give us a surprise."
Xie Xiaoxiao was actually feeling a little happy at this moment.
She used to suppress Hu Chen Wuding because Hu Chen Wuding had no backing and was extremely talented, posing the greatest threat to her.
However, Hu Chen Jianghai's performance today made Xie Xiaoxiao hate Ye Luoyan to a degree that exceeded that of Hu Chen Wuding.
This feeling of being deceived for more than ten years and being played around with by others made her want to go crazy.
With her pride and the strength of the Xie family, it was such a humiliation to be played around by a family ancestor who was only at the fake elixir realm.
Seeing that Hu Chen Wuding had a chance to turn the tables, she felt happy instead.
Anyway, she should get nothing this time. If Hu Chen Wu Ding can win, it will make Ye Luoyan's wish come true, and she will be very happy;
Secondly, even if Hu Chen Wuding won, she still had no backing, so she still had hope of turning the tables.
So, whenever she found the time, she would make a few sarcastic remarks.
Looking at Li Yan, who had only retreated a few feet in the light curtain and exposed his true strength, Ye Luoyan, who was originally full of confidence, felt a little uneasy for a moment.
The cause of the uneasiness was that Hu Chen Wanmu had been stagnant in that place for too long, and after retreating, the cultivator named Li did not show the uneasiness she expected to see on his face, but instead looked more serious.
"Mom, you... you don't have to worry. I have also... hidden my cultivation. Judging from the difficulty of this level, I am not sure I can pass it.
His realm is similar to that of a child, and he has never practiced the Ghostly Poison Scroll. No matter how good the poison-avoiding item on a foundation-building cultivator is, it will not be something that defies the heavens.
Who doesn't understand the principle that a person in a foreign country is guilty of possessing a treasure? With his cultivation, the thing that can prevent poison is not really a precious... a valuable treasure. Otherwise, how could he use it in front of everyone like this?"
Just as Ye Luoyan's expression changed, Hu Chen Jianghai, who had already woken up beside him, said with a sallow face.
After listening to Hu Chen Jianghai's words, Ye Luoyan thought about it and felt that her child was right.
At this moment, the ancestor of the Xie family, who had not spoken, glanced at Hu Chen Jianghai.
"The magic power cultivated by this boy is extremely powerful. Even those in the middle stage of foundation building may not be as strong as him."
As soon as he said this, Ye Luoyan's face changed again, because he had just sent a message to his father, saying that the Ye family ancestor was in the false elixir stage and was unable to see Li Yan's specific cultivation level.
The words spoken by the ancestor of the Xie family at this time undoubtedly dealt a blow to their hopes.
When the Ye family ancestor was a little skeptical after hearing this, the Chi family ancestor beside him nodded in agreement.
"Fellow Daoist Xie is right. This boy is not hiding his cultivation with a treasure. Judging from the degree to which he can freely release his magic power, he has practiced a very advanced concealment technique. What sect is he a disciple of?"
The first half of the sentence of the Chi family ancestor agreed with what the Xie family ancestor said, but the second half was a question to the Hu Chen ancestor.
Patriarch Hu Chen shook his head.
"I also can't figure out the origin of his skills, and I don't know how Wu Ding knew this person?"
Although Patriarch Hu Chen had doubts about Li Yan's identity, he did not take it seriously. He would definitely find an opportunity to make this kid and Zhuo Lingfeng disappear from this world forever.
Therefore, there was no intention to ask Hu Chen Wuding.
… …
Li Yan stood there, thinking constantly in his mind.
"We need to get through this section of the peach blossom forest. The smelly earthworm leaves here can stimulate the three-legged earthworms to spit out saliva to the greatest extent. Although the saliva contains a very strong poison, I cannot absorb it."
Thinking about those maggots transformed from saliva, which would either gather in piles or crawl along his tendons and veins, Li Yan's scalp went numb and he felt nauseous. How could he be willing to inhale such poison into his body
“Once you pass the peach blossom forest, two situations will occur:
First, because I am ahead of Hu Chen Wan Mu, Hu Chen Patriarch will directly launch the so-called "basic restriction" to kill me and end the assessment here as soon as possible;
Another way is to wait for the results of Hu Chen Wanmu on the other side, and then wait for a chance to kill me.
In the first case, once I pass the peach blossom forest, the possibility of him launching the so-called "basic restriction" attack will be smaller. In that case, he still has to take one more step, which is to try to stop Hu Chen Wanmu from moving forward.
Even if I let it fall in the peach blossom forest, he would not act so quickly. He might wait for me to advance a certain distance before taking action.
The second possibility is more likely. After all, even after passing the peach blossom forest, there is still more than 150 feet to the top of the mountain, which is half the distance. The difficulty of the subsequent assessment should be greater, and then there will be more reason to kill the two of us. "
When Li Yan thought about this, he felt that he should just rush forward.
Less than fifty feet in front of the mountain transformed by this magic weapon, he gained a lot. Behind it might be the more rare and deadly poison collected by the ancestor Hu Chen.
However, he was not sure that he could withstand the sudden attack from Ancestor Hu Chen. Without giving him any time to launch subsequent measures, his death would be in vain.
Therefore, he now has to come up with a foolproof plan that will prevent Patriarch Hu Chen from acting without scruples.
