Seeing that Shuang Qingqing didn't want to say anything more, Li Yan quickly nodded in agreement.
But suddenly, he remembered something, and after hesitating for a while, he still asked.
"Senior, now it seems that the fluctuations that occurred in the Qianluo Ancient Ape when I first met Senior Sister Bai Rou were caused by my mixed spiritual roots. But when I took it out again later, I also used spiritual power many times, but why didn't there appear any abnormalities anymore?"
Shuang Qingqing did not answer Li Yan's question, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"What's your name? This is the first time I've seen a Foundation Establishment cultivator with mixed spiritual roots. Could it be that you've practiced some special technique?"
During Shuang Qingqing's thousands of years of cultivation, she had certainly heard that there were cultivators with mixed spiritual roots above the Qi Condensation Stage in this world.
But until today, it was the first time that she actually saw someone successfully build a foundation with mixed spiritual roots. If Li Yan himself had not said that the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape would cause him disturbance, she would not have taken action to investigate.
Li Yan's heart tightened. This Nascent Soul Elder of the Muliu Sect had asked this question before, but he just pretended not to hear it and glossed over the answer.
Now he just said it casually, but it attracted the other party's attention again. However, Li Yan had a way to deal with it in the Wuliang Sect.
He deliberately looked embarrassed and coughed lightly.
“Oh, Junior Li Yan, building the foundation is a coincidence. With my aptitude, I would probably only be in the Qi Condensation Stage in this lifetime.
It’s just that when I first started, I practiced the sect’s introductory exercises incorrectly, and finally I went astray and got into a fight with others.
By accident, some changes occurred in my body, and my foundation building was successful. This is no secret in the Wuliang Sect, and Senior Sister Bai Rou also knows about it. "
What Li Yan said was a mixture of true and false, and he even confused the order of time, making people mistakenly believe that he got started first, and then practiced improperly, and then built his foundation while fighting with others.
Anyway, Li Yan believed that Shuang Qingqing would not really verify his words one by one. Even if she met Bai Rou in the future, she would only ask roughly. What he said was not wrong.
"Oh? Li... Yan, you actually have such an opportunity. However, I don't know whether this misfortune caused by practicing the wrong technique will be a blessing or a curse for you in the future."
She frowned slightly and said something ambiguous.
In her heart, she was not optimistic about Li Yan's path to immortality. Li Yan was not the only one who built his foundation with mixed spiritual roots.
She had seen it in some classics, such as some cultivators with mixed spiritual roots who accidentally swallowed some exotic fruits in the Qi Condensation Stage, and some of them succeeded in building their foundations, and some even formed their elixirs.
However, the effort they put in in the end was several times, or even dozens of times, more than that of normal cultivators. Just finding a suitable magic weapon with the five elements attributes was an extremely difficult task.
Not to mention, in the end, one has to give birth to a baby and truly embark on the path to immortality.
“As for why the Qianluo Ancient Ape had abnormal fluctuations the first time, it is actually quite simple. It involves the evolution of the five elements.
In fact, for a master of formations, this is not something too difficult to understand. It may be that Bai Rou is still lacking in the art of formations and her knowledge is insufficient, or it may be that she has overlooked this matter, which has caused your confusion.
According to what you said before, the abnormal fluctuations of the Qianluo Ancient Ape appeared after you met the other party in the free market and when your spiritual consciousness collided.
You have five-element spiritual roots. If I'm not mistaken, the time you confronted Sun Guoshu should be at Shen or You, right?"
Shuang Qingqing chuckled and said to Li Yan.
After hearing this, Li Yan thought carefully about what happened that day, and then nodded in surprise.
"Just as you said, it should be at 3 p.m. Can you tell me about this?"
Before, when Li Yan described his meeting with Bai Rou in Ziyoufang Market, he did not mention the specific time, but Shuang Qingqing knew it right away.
"Boy, that's right. When a cultivator collides with another's spiritual consciousness, even though their spiritual powers don't collide, the cultivator will subconsciously release spiritual power to protect his body and be ready to attack the other party at any time.
This behavior is a subconscious behavior of a cultivator. In this case, he would generally release one or two spiritual powers with strong defensive power and the most powerful attack.
The prerequisite, of course, is that you have to have this attribute. For example, a cultivator with the attributes of fire, earth, and water will subconsciously release earth attribute protection and fire attribute attack when suddenly attacked, because the earth attribute spiritual power is the strongest and the fire attribute attack is the most overbearing.
Of course, all of this is done by the Dantian spiritual power being automatically activated when the body senses danger. When actually attacking, one may still use one's most proficient attribute magic.
And you have five spiritual roots. Although I don't know what your strongest main spiritual root is, before your mind can react, you are colliding with other people's consciousness.
He should subconsciously release earth spiritual power and gold spiritual power at the same time. The earth spiritual power is used to protect himself, and the gold spiritual power, the sharpest of the five elements, is used to prepare for attack at any time.
With your level of cultivation, you probably haven't yet completely restrained your spiritual power, so in a sudden outburst, your spiritual power will unconsciously overflow and spread outwards.
Qianluo Stone itself is a small world of the Five Elements. It has a characteristic that its attributes will be strong or weak in different time periods.
For example, the hours of Si and Wu are when the fire attribute is most active, while the hours of Shen and You are when the gold attribute is the strongest.
It will only fluctuate when the spiritual power fluctuations you accidentally emit coincide with the most active attribute of the Qianluo Stone. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Shuang Qingqing spoke such a long paragraph, and although Li Yan found it a bit confusing, he finally understood it.
That is to say, only when one's spiritual power attributes are synchronized with that of the Qianluo Ancient Ape at a certain time can fluctuations be caused.
Later, when he and Bai Rou tested the Qianluo Ancient Ape, most of the tests were done with pure spiritual consciousness. Even with spiritual power, it was not so coincidental that it was synchronized with the Qianluo Stone time. They would never have guessed such a weird thing.
"The problem that you feel is very strange is actually the most basic skill of a formation master. You just don't know it." Seeing Li Yan's strange expression, Shuangqingqing shook her head slightly.
If Bai Rou was listening to her words, she would have understood them before she finished speaking.
Many advanced and complex spells and techniques are composed of different basic skills. The same is true for formations and mechanisms. It just depends on whether you can use them flexibly.
Li Yan scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Senior, you seemed to have said before that the Qianluo Ancient Ape was an ancient treasure? How come it is a magic weapon now? I am sorry to make you laugh, but I don't know what an ancient treasure is."
Li Yan began to feel nervous because his Stealing Heaven Scarf seemed to be called an ancient treasure by the Red Fire Ancestor.
As for what Gu Bao said, he had never heard of it before. Even his senior brothers had never mentioned it to him. Now that he had such a good opportunity, of course he had to ask humbly.
After hearing Li Yan's question, Shuang Qingqing looked at Li Yan with her beautiful eyes and then slowly spoke.
"I have to go back soon. Do you know where the Muliu Sect is now?"
She did not answer Li Yan's question, but asked Li Yan a question instead.
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Li Yan had to give up, but he replied respectfully.
"Senior Sister Bai Rou did briefly tell me about this, but I only know the approximate location, and I am not sure about the exact location."
At that moment, Li Yan told Shuang Qingqing everything he knew about the location.
Shuang Qingqing listened and took note silently in her heart. Given her current condition, she didn't dare to go to the Wuliang Sect to ask Bai Rou.
She was not familiar with the current Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wuliang Sect at all, and had no idea of their personalities. If she was not careful, she might be captured, and it would be difficult for her to die.
With her knowledge and current state, how could she easily meet someone with higher cultivation than herself? Even if she had a good relationship with the Wuliang Sect in the past, that was a thing of the past.
"Well, in that case, I will tell you one last thing, and from now on, we owe each other nothing."
Shuang Qingqing pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke.
There is rarely any talk of favors between cultivators, especially when a strong person owes a favor. If there is a favor, it will be cleared as soon as possible. The higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the more important it is to his own state of mind.
She didn't want to leave any knot in her heart that would affect her cultivation. Doing so might even become a fatal obsession in her mind during a breakthrough.
“Ancient treasures are actually a type of magic weapon. Generally speaking, only cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage know about them, but it is not ruled out that for special reasons, low- and middle-level cultivators may know about the existence of ancient treasures.
Ancient treasures do not mean magic weapons refined by ancient monks. In fact, it is determined by the materials used to refine them. Only magic weapons refined with materials from ancient or immemorial times, or exotic objects left over from heaven and earth, can be called ancient treasures.
Often, such magic weapons are made of special materials, so their power or uses are extremely unique.
Ancient treasures all have their own separate training and control techniques so that they can be better controlled, but there are also some ancient treasures that can be driven with just ordinary control techniques.
Like my Purple Winged Ice Phoenix, it can be called an ancient treasure because it was refined using the demon core of the ancient 'Amethyst Beast'.
But the Qianluo Ancient Ape can only be regarded as a pseudo-ancient treasure, because the Qianluo Stone is not a product of ancient times or ancient times, but has only appeared in the past few hundred thousand years. "
Having said this, Shuang Qingqing stopped talking.
But when Li Yan heard these words, his heart skipped a beat.
"If that's the case, then the Heaven Stealing Handkerchief must be a priceless treasure. I wonder what kind of unique material was used to refine such an ancient treasure that can actually break the formation restriction."
Li Yan thought so in his heart, but his face was not excited at all. How could he be willing to reveal the fact that the stolen handkerchief might be an ancient treasure
"Oh, I understand. Even if the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape is a fake ancient treasure, it is still useful if it can deal with Jindan cultivators. Senior, can a foundation-building cultivator use ordinary mana to fight against a Jindan early stage cultivator?"
Li Yan felt that even if the Qianluo Ancient Ape was a fake ancient treasure, it was enough for him for now.
Even if he could deal with a Jindan early stage cultivator for a while, he wouldn't have to run away like he did today when he was in danger in the future.
"Little guy, I think you've got it wrong. Do you think... I will tell you the manipulation technique of the Thousand Luo Ape? Also, I want to take the Thousand Luo Ape away."
Shuang Qingqing looked at Li Yan as if he was an idiot, staring at him with her beautiful eyes.
After hearing this, Li Yan opened his mouth wide. After a long while, he gave a bitter smile.
"Senior, you are absolutely right. It is me who has not considered it carefully enough!"
In Li Yan's subconscious mind, he still believed that the Qianluo Ancient Ape belonged to him.
But now that I think about it, he is the great elder of the Muliu Sect and the person who refined the Qianluo Ancient Ape. Shuang Qingqing is the real owner of this puppet.
The most important point is that you are not strong enough. Even if the other party tells you that they are trying to rob the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape, you will be helpless.
