Li Yan soon felt relieved. How could the secret techniques of other sects be passed on to outsiders
Although the Qianluo Ancient Ape is powerful, one still needs to know how to control it. Without the method to control it, the Qianluo Ancient Ape is just an ordinary magic weapon in Li Yan's hands, and its help to him cannot be considered an absolute help. It would be better for him to appear generous.
“The Qianluo Ancient Ape involves the core secrets of my Muliu Sect, so it certainly cannot remain in your hands. Besides, I have saved you before.
I also told you a lot of secrets that only Nascent Soul cultivators know. There is no connection between us now. But considering that Bai Rou from my sect once asked you for help, I will not let you work in vain. "
Shuang Qingqing looked at the sky and said softly.
In fact, the reason she asked Li Yan for the Qianluo Ancient Ape was not only to take back the sect's treasure, but the most important reason was that she herself needed it very much at the moment.
The Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix had been severely damaged. Only after she found a suitable body to possess could she find suitable materials again to perform sacrifices on the Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix.
Fortunately, the "Amethyst Beast" demon core, which was refined at the core of the formation inside the Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix, was not damaged.
In the future, you just need to spend more time looking for other refining materials, and then nurture it for a long time before it may be restored to its original state.
During this period, she didn't have a suitable magic weapon to protect herself. At the same time, there was another reason why Shuang Qingqing had to take the Qianluo Ancient Ape from Li Yan.
She is just a remnant soul now. If she really meets a Nascent Soul cultivator on her way back, she will have no power to resist at all as the Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix is severely damaged. The result will be unpredictable. In any case, she will have to rely on the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape.
Although Li Yan had already made plans for the loss of the Qianluo Ancient Ape, he was suddenly delighted when he heard Shuang Qingqing say that she would not let his work be in vain.
Shuang Qingqing thought for a while, and as Li Yan stood respectfully with his hands lowered, she gently waved her jade-like hand, and a green object appeared in front of Li Yan.
Li Yan looked intently and saw a long and narrow emerald green willow leaf, less than half the length of his index finger, and its color was as clear and green as washed water.
This object has pointed ends and is slightly concave in the middle. The green leaf stems on it are clearly visible. It floats in front of Li Yan, like an invisible willow branch in the wind, causing it to rise and fall.
There was a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy on the willow leaves, and a refreshing coolness slowly emanated from them. It looked like a spiritual weapon, but Li Yan knew that something a Nascent Soul cultivator gave to others could not be an ordinary item.
Li Yan did not reach out and take it directly from the air. Instead, he looked respectfully at the girl in the purple skirt fluttering under the moonlight.
Shuang Qingqing saw that Li Yan did not immediately take the willow leaf floating in front of him, but looked at her respectfully, waiting for the next step.
And she also noticed that when she said that she would not let Li Yan's work be in vain, there was a hint of surprise on this boy's face, but not too much surprise. She couldn't help but look up to Li Yan's character.
She knew that few people could remain so calm when faced with an item given by a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"This treasure is called 'Cloud Piercing Willow'. I got it by accident when I was traveling in Qingqing Continent in the past. Normally, it is very useful to me.
This is a magical flying weapon. With your level of cultivation, it cannot be compared with the flying speed of a Yuanying stage cultivator. However, if a Jindan stage cultivator wants to catch up with it by flying on his own, I have never seen it. At least it is extremely difficult for a False Infant stage cultivator to do so.
I had been planning to give this to my disciples in the future, but I took the Qianluo Ancient Ape from you this time. Also, considering Bai Rou's original purpose, she also wanted to use your power to obtain the secret of the Qianluo Ancient Ape.
Although you didn't uncover the secret of the Qianluo Ancient Ape, now it seems that she has achieved her goal.
When I took the spirit stone out of your storage bag before, I didn't see any flying magic weapon you had, so I'll give this treasure to you. I have erased the imprint of spiritual consciousness in it. You only need to drip some essence and blood into it, and after re-refining it, you can use it.
However, I still want to remind you that what I just said is that although this treasure flies very fast, it does not mean that a Jindan cultivator cannot catch up with it.
If the other party also has a good flying magic weapon, you might use it to escape, but in the end, you will lose hope. "
At this moment, Shuang Qingqing changed from a cold look to one full of smiles. She looked at Li Yan with her watery eyes, which made Li Yan's heart beat faster.
Li Yan quickly avoided Shuang Qingqing's gaze and bowed his head.
"Thank you for the gift of treasure, senior!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and emerald green willow leaves floated towards him. He didn't expect that what the other party gave him was not a spiritual weapon, but a magic weapon.
He stretched out two fingers and gently pinched the willow leaf in front of him. He was not afraid that the other party would do something to it.
With Shuang Qingqing's cultivation level, even though he was just a remnant soul, there was no need to use any tricks to deal with him. Just kill him directly. Even if they searched his soul, he would definitely not be able to escape.
The willow leaves feel cool to the touch and their surface is as smooth as silk. When Li Yan gets closer, he can smell a faint fragrance at the tip of his nose. Li Yan can't help but frown.
As a poison cultivator, he has a natural resistance to the fragrance and sweetness emitted by unknown objects.
Although he knew that the other party didn't need to go to such great lengths to use any means against him, Li Yan still became alert at the first moment.
But then, he seemed to remember something and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Because of this scent, he had smelled a similar scent on Gong Chenying and Zhao Min when he was close to them. Although there was a slight difference, Li Yan already knew what kind of fragrance it was.
"Hehe, little guy, have you never been in contact with a woman? You look so alert. Does it smell good?"
Just when Li Yan had just determined what the fragrance on the willow leaves was, a giggle was heard, which made Li Yan feel embarrassed as if someone had seen through his thoughts. He pinched the willow leaves and raised his head with a blush.
As soon as Li Yan raised his head, he saw a flash of purple light, and the two Qingqings disappeared from the air.
Then, the Qianluo Ancient Ape, who was standing motionless on the sand dune, suddenly opened his dim eyes again. In an instant, a green light shone brightly on his body, and in the next moment, his burly body soared into the sky.
"Little guy, this is over. I believe you won't remember anything that happened here. Don't let your sister down. If I hear any rumors about me, your sister will be angry. Even if you have the protection of the Wuling Sect, it's not appropriate.
Also, if Bai Rou asks about the Qianluo Ancient Ape, you just tell her that you met the previous generation of Jindan elders in the Muliu Sect. If she is free, she can come back to the sect to look for me. And she must not reveal her sister's identity. Remember, remember..."
Shuang Qingqing left suddenly, without any sense of delay, and it was even a bit abrupt.
How could ordinary people guess the strange temper of a Nascent Soul cultivator? Li Yan stared blankly at the green light that disappeared in the sky in a flash. After he came to his senses a little, he bowed hurriedly in the direction where the green light disappeared.
"Juniors, please remember this!"
He didn't know whether the other party could hear him when he said this, but just as he straightened up, the green light in the sky had disappeared, but he seemed to hear a murmur in his ears.
"The distance is still not close. It seems that we need to kill more people and find more spirit stones. It would be even better if we can find medium-grade spirit stones..."
This made Li Yan, who was just standing up, stiffen.
… …
Li Yan stood in front of a mountain wall. This was a barren mountain. Although the vegetation was sparse, the shadows of several peaks hundreds of feet high were intertwined.
Li Yan was standing on the hillside of a barren mountain. He was standing among a group of strange rocks, and his figure was mostly obscured.
He looked around expressionlessly, then spread out his spiritual sense again and began to search carefully. After dozens of breaths, he withdrew his spiritual sense.
He made a hand gesture and dozens of wind blades appeared in the air, and the next moment they cut into the mountain wall in front of him.
Under his deliberate control, the dozen wind blades were like cutting on tofu. There was not much sound, only the rustling sound of flying gravel falling.
This was the first time that Li Yan opened a cave on his own, and he seemed a little unfamiliar with it. After half an incense stick of time, looking at the big hole in front of him that had been cut into pieces by himself, Li Yan shook his head helplessly.
Then he waved his sleeves, and the gravel and mud in the cave flew out.
It is called a cave, but in fact it is just a slightly larger cave. There is nothing inside. Moreover, the mountain wall has been cut by Li Yan, with deep and shallow lines, as if it had been gnawed by a dog.
But Li Yan didn't care about it. After entering the cave, he found a relatively flat place and sat down cross-legged. Then he waved his sleeves again, and seven or eight formation flags flew out, flashing with light, and fell to the corners around the cave.
After a burst of ripples, the only cave entrance in front of Li Yan disappeared. If someone looked from the outside at this time, the barren mountain here was not much different from before. It was still a barren mountain with rugged rocks.
Unless a cultivator comes close to take a closer look, he will not be able to discover the formation set up by Li Yan.
After seeing the protective formation set up, Li Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and wiped his left wrist. More than a dozen formation flags flew out again and disappeared on the rock wall of the cave in a flash.
The entire cave shook gently for a while, and then returned to normal. Only then did Li Yan nodded with satisfaction.
He planned to stay here for a while, until he had set up several layers of formations, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
Li Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, did not start practicing immediately, but was concentrating on thinking about something...
The mountains here are thousands of miles away from the desert. It took Li Yan less than two days to get here from the desert, and all this was thanks to the magic weapon "Cloud-Piercing Willow" given by Shuang Qingqing.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Yan's consciousness moved, and a small, emerald green willow leaf appeared in his hand.
Looking at the willow leaf in his hand, Li Yan's heart was also excited. He accidentally got this treasure this time. In just over a day, he flew more than 10,000 miles. This was something he could only dream about before.
"Cloud-piercing Willow" can be activated by spirit stones or stimulated by magic power. Thinking of the incredible speed, Li Yan still sighed.
In his opinion, except for the time when Shuang Qingqing controlled the Qianluo Ancient Ape to carry him, the other party's flying speed was faster, and the only time they could fly at this speed was when they were in and out of the secret realm and were led by Elder Peng.
After thinking about it, he felt that Elder Peng's Silver-fanged Dragon Rhino's flying speed, compared with the "Cloud-piercing Willow", should still be much faster than his own.
But Li Yan did not feel frustrated because according to Shuang Qingqing's previous introduction of "Chuanyunliu", he could tell from her words that she was satisfied with the speed of "Chuanyunliu".
The reason for this situation is that, first, a good magic weapon requires a good spirit stone or powerful mana to drive it, but I am using a low-level spirit stone to control it.
Another reason is that he has not yet completely refined the "Cloud-Piercing Willow" and his control over it is a little awkward.
If I purely use magic power to control it, with my current level of cultivation, I will not be able to unleash the true speed of "Cloud Piercing Willow". Only as my cultivation level continues to improve, can I finally reach the flying speed that Shuang Qingqing described.
“This item was actually obtained from Qingqing Continent. According to historical records, that continent is inhabited by spirit plants and monsters. Humans and monsters are their mortal enemies.
But Senior Shuang actually went there to travel, and even got the Qianluo Stone and this item. Qingqing Continent? Shuang Qingqing? How come there are these two words? Could it be… "
After thinking for a while, Li Yan shook his head gently, because he had never seen a spiritual plant or monster, and he still couldn't connect Shuang Qingqing's previous soul with a monster.
“All these thoughts of mine are meaningless. I finally got this magic weapon, and that’s enough. I survived a near-death experience in the desert, which is a blessing in disguise.
I finally have a flying magic weapon of my own. If I meet a cultivator like the Red Fire Ancestor again, although I still cannot defeat him, my chances of escaping are at least half as high."
Li Yan couldn't help but feel happy for a while. After playing with the "Cloud-piercing Willow" for a while, Li Yan put it aside.
Then his spiritual consciousness moved, and a folding fan and a handkerchief as white as jade appeared in his hands.
