After these unknown monsters absorbed the magma, they all looked up and made strange noises towards the "Huoyan Palace" mountain. However, no monster dared to approach the mountain, and no monster came to attack Li Yan. This made Li Yan feel relieved. Otherwise, facing such a large number of monsters, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
After a few breaths, these monsters screamed for a while, then swung their tails and quickly disappeared into the sky. Li Yan's spiritual consciousness followed them all the way. In the end, they only stayed a hundred miles away and then dived into the ground.
The moment they dived into the ground, the aura on their bodies merged with the environment here, becoming indistinguishable from each other. It is no wonder that Li Yan had not found anything before.
For a moment, Li Yan didn't know how to deal with this kind of monster, because in the jade slip given to him when he first entered the tower, Li Yan thought that all the monsters here had been recorded, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Li Yan thought about it and felt that the Pure Land Sect might not mark out information about some dangerous places. For example, there was no relevant record in the Red Mother Jade Slip. However, this was understandable as no sect was really willing to leak out any information.
The monster didn't attack him just now. It was not known whether it ignored him or for other reasons, but Li Yan did not dare to take it lightly.
Next, Li Yan waited here, and gradually he developed a routine. The golden magma here would erupt every three hours, and those monsters would arrive in large numbers on time. After absorbing the magma here, they would never stay here for long, and would immediately return to the ground a hundred miles away.
Without knowing the specific situation of the monster, Li Yan wanted to capture one for research several times, but after some consideration, he gave up helplessly. Although some monsters will not actively attack monks, if you attack them, it may lead to catastrophic consequences.
Just like this, Li Yan stayed here for three days. During these three days, Li Yan gained nothing. Not to mention the Red Mother Essence, not even a fire-type medicinal herb appeared in the magma.
On the third day, a middle-aged monk finally arrived in the deserted place. Of course, the monk also discovered Li Yan, but the moment he saw Li Yan, his face showed a strange look and his body paused slightly. But in the end, he just chanted a Buddhist name to Li Yan and flew into a cave called "Fire Eye" on the mountain of "Huoyan Palace".
Although the middle-aged monk just passed by quickly and was kind to Li Yan, as soon as he flew away, Li Yan became alert, because he had seen this monk in his spiritual consciousness before. When he was fighting with the rhinoceros-horned green python, five people were watching from afar, including this monk, a Zen monk in the fake elixir realm.
"He came here alone with the two white-robed monks and the two women we met outside the tower. His aura is extremely steady and condensed. With every move he makes, his spiritual power is as strong as a mountain. This is the ultimate performance of a fake pill. He must be using this place to break through his cultivation. But why is there something strange in his eyes when he looks at me?"
With Li Yan's powerful spiritual sense, he could see the monk's true cultivation level at a glance, and from this he also judged the other party's purpose of coming here. That's why the four people separated from the monk.
But the middle-aged monk smiled at him kindly on the surface, but Li Yan keenly noticed something strange in his eyes, as if he was interested, and also as if... "It's surprise and hesitation!" Li Yan quickly understood the meaning of his eyes.
“Interest, surprise and hesitation, why are there these three changes
Interested, probably because he had seen me fighting with a dominant monster on the second floor before, so he became interested in a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building and even wanted to know my background.
Surprised, is that the reason? … Maybe it was because I appeared here and surprised him. After all, I sat here cross-legged and did not enter the "Fire Palace". This was clearly an act of waiting for treasures to appear, and the probability of treasures appearing here was almost impossible, so he was surprised by my behavior.
Hesitation, why is there hesitation? Is there something you want to ask me
What could he say to me, make friends with me, or question why I stayed here? This possibility existed.
He paused before entering, hesitating whether to enter immediately, why? "
He watched the monk enter the "Huoyan Palace", but Li Yan saw clearly the instantaneous changes in the monk's eyes.
Li Yan closed his eyes slightly, his mind racing.
Li Yan pondered the last question he asked for a long time, and suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Hesitating whether to enter immediately is nothing more than wanting to stay for something. Kill me? It's unlikely. He has seen my methods and he should know that it is difficult to do it.
So apart from the idea of making friends, there is another possibility… leaving a message behind.”
Li Yan quickly thought of the idea of passing on information, that is, tipping off someone, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy.
"Could it be that the rhinoceros-horned green python has also chased here? Oh, right, Duan Weiran once said that Sun Jiuhe also has some friends in this tower. Both of these situations are possible..."
Li Yan thought of several possible outcomes almost immediately, but none of them were favorable to him. "But apart from the fact that he paused for a moment, he didn't notice any sound transmission talismans flying out."
Li Yan suddenly felt that his guess was wrong, so he simply probed inward with his spiritual sense.
The moment a Zen monk Yiming entered the "Huoyan Palace" cave, a green light suddenly appeared on his body, and he immediately resisted the attack of the heat wave. At the same time, he pinched his fingers in the wide sleeve of his monk's robe, and a Buddhist bead quietly shattered. The green light on his body intertwined with the golden heat wave in the cave, and bursts of green smoke rose. The slight abnormality caused by his crushing of the Buddhist beads just now was also covered up by the bursts of green smoke outside his body.
Yiming's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but he did not turn back to look at Li Yan. Instead, he smiled strangely and disappeared.
Just a thousand miles away from the "Huoyan Palace", a middle-aged man in a white robe stood on a tall broken wall, staring straight ahead.
There, the young junior brother in white robe and two female cultivators from the "Blue Sea Sect" were fighting with a "locust beast". He did not take action, but just looked at the scene in front of him calmly. Only when he looked at the bodies of the two female cultivators from the "Blue Sea Sect" did his eyes reveal heat and greed.
“Although these two girls are ordinary looking and their cultivation is only at the early or middle stage of foundation building, their figures are first-rate. However, they both have already wanted to leave, so let’s find a time to let them leave thinking they have succeeded.
But the two of them must be seen by other cultivators when they act alone, and then they can secretly capture Xiaoyao and have some fun. However, the Blue Sea Sect is also very powerful, so we must not let them know about this. Then they can't blame me for being ruthless!"
Just as he seemed indifferent, he suddenly felt the storage bag on his waist move. Without even looking at it, he casually slapped it, and a small sandalwood Buddhist bead appeared in his hand. At this time, the sandalwood Buddhist bead was flashing green light and creating circles of ripples.
"We were only separated for half a day when he used this Buddhist bead. No matter how he broke into the 'Fire Palace', he would not have encountered the 'Bright Fire Unicorn' so soon. But it's good this way. I didn't expect to repay him a favor so soon, and there is a large amount of spiritual stones in return. It's really good."
Yiming had made an appointment with him early in the morning. Yiming would help him hunt down a soul monster. Since Buddhist techniques have a natural inhibitory effect on souls, with Yiming's help, the chances of success would naturally be greater.
When Yiming needed it, the middle-aged man in white robe would enter the "Huoyan Palace" to help him hold back the "Bright Fire Kirin", allowing Yiming to successfully enter the depths of the "Huoyan Palace" to train and break through.
However, dealing with the "Bright Fire Kirin" is several times more difficult than hunting a "Mud Beast Soul", so Monk Yiming promised that as long as he could delay the "Bright Fire Kirin" for two breaths, he would give him 20,000 spirit stones.
After helping the middle-aged man in white robe hunt down the soul monster last night, a Zen monk Yiming said goodbye. Before leaving, he gave the middle-aged man in white robe a sandalwood Buddhist bead. This was also a high-level "sound transmission bead" that he bought from the Pure Land Sect at a high price. The distance alone can reach two thousand miles, and the use of small waves can avoid attracting the attention of the "Bright Fire Kirin".
The middle-aged man in white robe could not have imagined that after only half a day of separation, a Zen monk would use this thing. He crushed the Buddhist beads casually, and immediately an old voice came into his mind.
"Friend Xu, I found the young man who fought with the rhinoceros-horn green python near the 'Fire Palace'. It seems that he has no intention of entering, but seems to be waiting for the 'Fire Palace' to eject some natural treasures. So he will stay here for a long time, and we can share the promise that Sun Jiuhe made to us outside the Red Maple Pond.
I will now enter the 'Fire Palace', but I will not go deep into it. Then you and I can cooperate from inside and outside and act according to circumstances. Otherwise, if you feel unsure, you can tell Sun Jiuhe in advance."
After hearing this, the white-robed monk named Xu's face changed. He didn't expect that the Zen monk Yiming was talking about something else. He narrowed his eyes and started thinking.
He naturally understood what Monk Yiming meant, which was to gain more benefits at the same time.
When Sun Jiuhe saw them outside Hongfengtan before, he proposed to them that if they could meet the whereabouts of the person engraved in the jade slip in the palace under Hongfengtan Lake, he would be willing to give them a six hundred year old "black lotus seed" and ten thousand spirit stones as a reward.
As for how they divided these two things, Sun Jiuhe would not ask. Whether they sold them and divided the spirit stones equally, or someone bought them at a high price, it had nothing to do with him.
Now that the white-robed monk surnamed Xu had heard the voice transmission from the Zen monk Yiming, how could he not understand that the old monk Yiming was willing to destroy two voice transmission beads at once and also wanted to hide the news from him, just because he wanted to join forces with him to kill the young man.
The powerful young man must have a lot of good things on him. After killing him, he and Yiming can divide the treasures on the other party equally, and then use this corpse to ask Sun Jiuhe for the six hundred year old "black lotus seeds" and ten thousand spirit stones. This way, they will get double the benefits.
But since the young man was too powerful and Monk Yiming was unsure, if the middle-aged man in white robe felt that the two of them were still not sure about joining forces, he would just pass the message to Sun Jiuhe and take the benefit.
