If Li Yan meets a cultivator in the early Jindan stage now, apart from relying on his strong body and newly acquired powerful spiritual power, if the opponent attacks him from a long distance using magic, he will have no choice but to dodge or flee.
Thinking of the self-destructive Song Moyan and Qin Chengyi's puppet, Li Yan felt a pang of pain. Now the only thing he could refine was the folding fan of the Blood Hand Flying Scythe. The magic items of the He brothers were of no use to him.
Li Yan flicked his sleeves and a folding fan appeared in his hand. The moment he opened it, the roar of a flying sickle blood mantis could be heard faintly from the bloody red fan.
Li Yan's face became serious. He threw the folding fan in his hand, and it floated in front of him. Without any delay, he cast a series of magic spells on it like needles.
… …
Li Yan was flying quickly in the air, stepping on the three-foot-long emerald green willow leaves, and standing facing the wind.
At this time, he had long been far away from the barren mountain without spiritual energy. Nearly a month had passed since he was promoted to the middle stage of foundation building. Li Yan put his hands behind his back, and a folding fan was in his hand, which was placed upside down on his back. Looking at the white clouds coming towards his face, Li Yan felt very comfortable.
In nearly a month, he not only refined the folding fan, but also carefully practiced and refined the flying magic weapon, the Cloud-Piercing Willow. Now that he was controlling it, he was no longer as clumsy as before. He could control it with his mind and the Cloud-Piercing Willow moved as he wished.
Taking a deep breath of the long-lost fresh air between heaven and earth, Li Yan brought the folding fan in front of his eyes with one hand. After opening it gently, the folding fan turned light yellow, without any bloody smell. Instead, the entire fan surface exuded a hint of nobleness.
If a cultivator of the Blood Hand Sect saw this fan at this time, he would never associate it with the Blood Hand Flying Scythe. This was due to the re-refining. At this time, Li Yan had called this fan "Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan". The Blood Hand Flying Scythe was practicing the Blood Hand Sect's secret technique "Burning Fire and Blood Sea", and his spiritual roots were three-element earth spiritual roots with fire as the main one. No matter how Li Yan refined it, he could not change the essence of the fan's fire attribute, so this fan was still a fire magic weapon.
The blood color of the fan was originally due to the practice of the Blood Hand Flying Scythe technique, which could give full play to the strengths of his technique. Now, the blood color on it has been absorbed into the internal blood river after Li Yan's practice, so that the eight flying sickle blood mantises can practice. The second-level early stage flying sickle blood mantis in the flying sickle blood mantis spirit was also refined by Li Yan and recognized as the master. This is equivalent to Li Yan having an early stage foundation building cultivator by his side.
At this point, a smile appeared on Li Yan's face. A foundation-building cultivator would be a leader and elder in a third-rate sect.
During this ritual of refining the "Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan", Li Yan also discovered another way to use the magic weapon, which should be the real power of this magic weapon. This fan can fan out a kind of flame. When Li Yan blew it towards the rock wall of the cave, a flame instantly burned the hard rock wall into a straight passage about ten feet deep. Li Yan was stunned and stood there, and then he became excited. The power of this flame was so overbearing that if he were to attack with spiritual power, first of all, he would not be able to make it so straight and smooth. Secondly, it would be easy to blast out a big hole, but it would not be possible to blast it ten feet deep.
Li Yan had only heard of the powerful Dan fire of Jindan cultivators, but in his opinion, although this fire might not be comparable to Dan fire, it was also a rare and exotic fire.
Li Yan was so excited that he tried a few more times. What made him depressed in the end was that the flames in the folding fan began to gradually decrease after he fanned it twice. By the fifth time, no matter how Li Yan fanned it, no sparks came out. This made Li Yan depressed, and he probed into the inside of the folding fan with his spiritual sense to check it carefully. However, no matter how carefully he searched, he could not find anything related to fire. After a long time, Li Yan fell into deep thought after his spiritual sense withdrew from the folding fan.
Finally, Li Yan thought of the Blood Hand Flying Sickle technique. When he was in Xuanqing Temple, Taoist Gong said that his technique was called "Burning Fire and Blood Sea". From the name alone, we can know something. This folding fan must be related to fire. Moreover, how can a magic weapon only be used once? Finally, after Li Yan's observation, the fire was generated again, although it was very little. After watching it for a long time, he discovered that the fire originated from the blood river in the folding fan. A trace of it will be generated in an hour, and then turn into a red cloud floating in the sky. After twelve hours, a large red cloud will be formed. After twelve hours, although red clouds will still be generated, they cannot stay in the sky for too long, which means that the red cloud will not continue to expand.
This large red cloud, if used with full force, can attack twice in succession. If used slowly, it can be used multiple times, but the power will be much smaller.
Although this means that Li Yan can use this fire twice in one day, it is a pity to use such a powerful fire. Then Li Yan laughed at himself and felt that he was greedy. The reason why this magic weapon was only elementary must be that it was not good enough. The most mysterious thing here is the blood river in the folding fan. No one knows what it is made of. Where did the blood hand flying sickle come from? It may be that the blood river is too small, or the master of refining this magic weapon is not good enough, so the grade of this magic weapon is not high. Since he does not know the origin of this fire, Li Yan calls it "Lihuo".
Li Yan knew that this was enough. The Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan was not his natal magic weapon, so it was enough for him to use it in an emergency.
While Li Yan was thinking, he flew quickly to the north.
Not long after, Li Yan began to teleport and transfer repeatedly. In the next few days, Li Yan had a smooth journey, but what made him sad was the spirit stone. The range of the Wuliang Sect was too large, and he needed to teleport over long distances continuously.
Four days later, Li Yan flew away from a teleportation array again. Now he was only about 70,000 to 80,000 miles away from the area governed by the Pure Land Sect. Li Yan planned to stop looking for a teleportation array as it consumed too much spirit stones. With the current speed of magic weapons, he would be able to reach the area governed by the Pure Land Sect in five or six days. Although he would still be far away from the North Sea by then, he would have finally stepped into the area of the Pure Land Sect.
Yuguan City is an important city on the edge of the Pure Land Sect that is close to the jurisdiction of the Wuliang Sect. It is also a town where immortals and laymen coexist. There is a temple built by the Pure Land Sect in the city, and a Buddha is stationed there. One day, outside Yuguan City, a long rainbow broke through the sky. When it was a hundred miles away from Yuguan City, a light "eh" sound came out of the long rainbow, and then it stopped in the air. The light gradually dissipated, revealing an ordinary young man. He was dressed in a green shirt and stepped on a huge willow leaf. It was Li Yan.
Li Yan looked at the lights flashing by, some far and some near, and a strange expression appeared on his face. He stared at the town in front of him without blinking, where Li Yan's spiritual sense sensed the aura of many mortals, as well as the aura of many immortal cultivators.
Li Yan had consulted many classics about the Pure Land Sect, but the relationship between the sect and the mortal dynasty was seldom mentioned in the classics. Immortals and mortals are on different paths, and it stands to reason that immortals cannot interfere in the internal affairs of mortal dynasties. However, in order to gain more power and cultivation resources, the four major sects still intervened in the affairs of mortals, but their methods were different, so these would not be recorded in the classics.
The city under the jurisdiction of the Wuliang Sect where Li Yan lives will never have this kind of situation where immortals and mortals coexist. Even if there is, the Wuliang Sect monks will only appear in the imperial palace, and there will only be one or two of them.
Feeling a large amount of mortal breath in his spiritual consciousness, and looking at the sky where many escaping lights were still falling towards the distant town, Li Yan showed a look of doubt on his face, so he stopped in the air.
His action of stopping in the air seemed a bit eccentric, causing the escaping lights nearby to pause slightly. Li Yan felt that a lot of spiritual consciousness fell directly on him. Li Yan couldn't help but frowned and snorted lightly. He no longer retained the foundation-building aura on his body and released it directly. Immediately, he heard screams from many escaping lights, and many escaping lights quickly moved away from here.
With Li Yan's current cultivation, he can travel around the world. As for the possibility of meeting a Jindan cultivator casually, the probability is not very high. Even in a city like Yuguan City, there is only one Buddha guarding it. After reaching the Jindan stage, cultivators spend most of their time either practicing hard or looking for opportunities in places where few people go, hoping to be promoted to high-level cultivators as soon as possible. It is rare for them to show up in front of people, let alone the old monster of the Yuanying stage.
Li Yan no longer paid attention to these people, but he also felt that it was not appropriate to stand in the air like this, so he planned to continue flying forward and then take a closer look at the situation.
Just when Li Yan was about to leave, he suddenly had an idea and just stood there again. At this moment, the cultivators in the escape light around him had already bypassed him, and there were still some cultivators flying towards this side behind him. After Li Yan swept his spiritual sense over them, he locked onto the group of people.
There were four beams of light flying towards Li Yan. When the leading beam of light was still a hundred feet away from Li Yan, it suddenly changed direction and flew to the side when it sensed the fluctuation of Li Yan's aura.
Li Yan's feet slipped, and the Cloud-piercing Willow flew out diagonally. With just a little acceleration, he blocked the escaping light. Seeing this, the people in the other three escaping lights behind him accelerated and moved away.
"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean?" Just as Li Yan stood in front of a beam of light, a voice of shock and anger came from the beam of light, and then the light paused, revealing three cultivators.
Three cultivators stood on a flying magical weapon. Leading them was a big man with a fierce look on his face, who was at the initial stage of foundation building. Behind him were two young men, who were only at the ninth level of Qi Condensation Stage, and were staring at Li Yan nervously.
Although the big man was also in the Foundation Establishment stage, he felt the deep and sea-like aura of Li Yan's body, and was shocked and angry in his heart, but he only dared to shout. According to his temper, even if a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment blocked his way, he would definitely attack without saying a word.
Li Yan looked at the big man with a hint of fear on his face, and said calmly, "It was I who was rude. I have a few questions to ask you, fellow Taoist. I wonder if you could spare a moment." Li Yan's tone was quite polite, but his actions did not seem very polite.
After hearing this, the big man was stunned at first, and then the expression on his face eased a little. Strength is respected by cultivators, and the other party's strength is unfathomable. He also gave him face when speaking, which made him feel a little better.
"Oh, what do you have to say, fellow Daoist? It's just that my cultivation is average, so I may not be able to solve the confusion in your heart." The big man paused, and could only blame himself for his bad luck. He couldn't escape this time, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, fellow Daoist, why there are so many mortals living in this city?" Li Yan knew what the big man was thinking, but he didn't care about the other party's dissatisfaction. If a cultivator with higher cultivation than him treated him like this, he could only swallow his anger.
"Just...just...just this question? Fellow Daoist, you are not a native cultivator of the Pure Land Sect, right? Is this your first time coming to the Pure Land Sect?" The big man was stunned at first, and then said something that shocked Li Yan.
He had just entered the Pure Land Sect and was discovered by someone. Why
