Seeing Bro turning his head away like a child, as if he was trying very hard to take out his candy and give it to others, Li Yan smiled.
Li Yan stretched out his hand and took the silver paper in his hand. The silver paper was cold to the touch, like a thin piece of silk paper, but it was really as hard as a piece of silver.
Bro on the other side secretly glanced at Li Yan after he took the silver paper, then he let out a long sigh of relief, then sat cross-legged with some difficulty, and then closed his eyes. He did not try to use his spiritual sense to penetrate the two layers of formations here to see if there were really any cultivators outside. He wisely chose not to anger the person in front of him.
Although Li Yan took the silver paper in his hand, he still secretly observed Bro's expression. Seeing that the other party was reluctant but really let go completely, he admired Bro's character for a moment.
Li Yan's spiritual consciousness directly immersed in the silver paper. As soon as his spiritual consciousness touched it, he was shaken out by a powerful rebound force. Li Yan couldn't help but be shocked.
Although he had not tried his best just now, this situation still startled him. He was naturally cautious when exploring unfamiliar things, but the power of his spiritual consciousness he had released just now was not weak. He used six to retain four, retaining the greatest possibility, so that if he encountered an accident, he would be able to protect himself.
Sixty percent of his spiritual awareness far exceeded the late stage of foundation building, but it was unable to penetrate the silver paper at all.
After sensing the rebound force from the silver paper and realizing that it only had a shielding function and no attacking effect, Li Yan finally felt relieved.
He once again released 80% of his spiritual sense, but this time he was not repelled. Instead, ripples appeared on the surface of the silver paper, pushing Li Yan's spiritual sense forward layer by layer like waves, and finally blocked it.
Li Yan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this. The more this was the case, the more extraordinary this thing was. So he simply concentrated his mind and calmed his breath. The power of his spiritual consciousness gradually increased. As his spiritual power increased, the silver light on the surface of the silver paper became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into almost a dazzling ball of light, so dazzling that people could not look directly at it.
Fortunately, Bro had entered a state of cultivation. Apart from the light, there was no sound from Li Yan's side, otherwise he would have been alarmed.
After a few more breaths, Li Yan had raised his spiritual sense to the extreme. The ripples on the silver paper became thicker, but Li Yan still could not penetrate them at all. Li Yan's eyes flashed brightly and he urged his spiritual sense again. The entire silver paper was as if a storm had passed through it. The silver paper shook violently, like a flag being blown up, and all the ripples expanded instantly.
Li Yan felt a huge force crashing into his sea of consciousness, and suddenly he felt as if struck by lightning. He groaned, and his body, which had been standing still, instantly retreated four steps. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes, a splitting headache, and a feeling of wanting to faint.
Li Yan felt extremely unbearable in his heart, but he remained calm and bit the tip of his tongue hard. A sharp pain came and he woke up immediately. He quickly let go of the silver paper in his hand, and then moved his fingers like the wind, tapping himself several times. The nausea in his heart and the severe pain in his head were relieved.
"Brother Jiang, what happened to you?" Li Yan's action woke up Bro who was practicing. He looked at Li Yan in surprise. At this time, Li Yan's eyes were a little dim, and there was still blood on his lips, which was caused by biting the tip of his tongue.
Li Yan calmed down his mind, then raised his head and gave Bro a bitter smile, "I now know why no relevant news came out after someone got the silver paper. This is not something that a foundation-building cultivator can open, so why did it appear on the second floor of the tower?"
Li Yan seemed to be explaining to Bro, but also seemed to be talking to himself. Li Yan's consciousness was now a little stronger than that of the early stage of the golden elixir, but not only did he fail to find out the secret in the silver paper, but he also suffered backlash.
"Oh? Brother Jiang, are you saying that we, the foundation-building cultivators, cannot open this thing? But..."
Bro looked at Li Yan, and after hearing what Li Yan said, he thought for a moment, then said hesitantly. With his arrogant character, he would naturally say whatever he wanted. He wanted to say that you are just a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and it is possible that you cannot open it. It should be that your cultivation is not enough. However, when the words came to his lips, he still did not say them, for fear of hurting Li Yan's face.
"It probably can't be opened. You try and see if you can find anything." Li Yan naturally knew the implication of the other party's words, but he didn't care. After saying that, he flicked his robe sleeves, and the silver paper that had returned to its original state and was suspended in the air floated towards Bro.
"This... this... forget it. I need to hurry up and practice to recover." Seeing the silver paper blowing lightly towards him, curiosity flashed in Bro's eyes, and then he still hesitated to refuse. This thing has already been given away, and he doesn't want to touch it again.
"It's okay. Treasures are also about fate. Brother Bro may have found something. Anyway, I can't open it now. If you can open it later, it will be the same if you tell me."
Although Li Yan had never fought with Bro, he was the first one to discover Bro during the several times they met, while the other party knew nothing about him. It was certain that his spiritual awareness was inferior to his own. If he couldn't even open it, how could the other party open it
If Li Yan had put the silver paper directly into the storage bag and left it for study later, it would not be a big deal. However, if he put it away immediately, it would seem that he had petty intentions.
It was as if he had deliberately failed to open it in front of Bro, which would have made him look inferior. He still had absolute confidence in his spiritual sense, and he was sure that the other party would definitely not be able to open it. Bro's eyes flashed with hesitation, and after looking at Li Yan's face that did not seem to be false, he thought about it for a while, and finally nodded.
Bro's personality makes him more curious than others. After seeing Li Yan's indifferent look, he decided to take a look. If the scholar in blue was here, he would definitely teach Bro a lesson for his actions. If Bro really opened a treasure, the result would be unknown.
But Bro is Bro. The fact that Li Yan didn't kill anyone to steal the treasure before made him think that Li Yan was a good person. Although the things he touched and gave away were not good, he would definitely not take them back. What's more, the matter of the silver paper was widely spread, and he also wanted to see what was going on. This might be what is meant by "it is difficult to change one's nature even though it is easy to change the country."
But Bro was overthinking. In fact, Li Yan felt that the scholar in blue was too scary and didn't want to offend him. He was sure that Bro couldn't open the silver paper, so he just wanted to take advantage of it. When it comes to human nature, even if ten Bros were tied together, they couldn't beat one Li Yan.
After Li Yan's spiritual power was combed, Bro's body was just weak, but his spiritual consciousness was not damaged much.
He also carefully extended a little spiritual sense, but was also bounced away by the silver paper. He didn't care. This was within his expectations. He just tried it out to get an idea. Then he began to gradually increase the strength of his spiritual sense, but it was always bounced away immediately upon contact.
Bro's expression gradually became solemn, until finally he released all his current spiritual power. This time the power was rebounded even faster, causing his body and the bamboo basket beside him to slide backwards a short distance before he stopped.
Bro was horrified at this moment. He was not horrified by his own failure, but by Li Yan's cultivation. When the other party last startled him, he saw the dazzling silver light bursting out from the silver paper.
Even though his spiritual awareness was only 70% to 80% of his usual level, the last blow just now only caused a very faint silver light to flash on the silver paper, and even the ripples that bounced back were only shallow.
"Jiang... Brother Jiang, are you a fake alchemist? Look at how stupid I am... I couldn't tell that Brother Jiang had such an extraordinary background. The treasure that conceals your aura is much more advanced than mine, and it has been done so perfectly. At the beginning, even my son only saw that you were in the middle stage of foundation building. It turns out that your cultivation has reached this level. No wonder you appeared here in the 'Huoyan Palace'..."
After all, Bro's body had not recovered yet. After taking a few heavy breaths, he slowly sat up straight and looked at Li Yan with admiration in his eyes. The man in front of him must not be too old, so how could he cultivate to the level of fake elixir
Bro is now certain that the other party is definitely in the false elixir realm, and is perhaps not even half a step away from forming a elixir, but is only separated by a thin layer of paper. This kind of person is already a mountain in the foundation-building realm, otherwise how could he have rescued himself from those three people without any harm.
Although he had guessed before, he thought that Li Yan might have some powerful magic weapon like him. Moreover, Li Yan was a poison cultivator, and he saw it with his own eyes. All these added up, it was reasonable for him to be rescued. In addition, Li Yan appeared in the "Fire Palace". People who come here are all looking for breakthroughs, could they be treasure hunters
Now thinking back to what Li Yan had done before, it would be more reasonable if there was only one top-level fake pill cultivator.
The most important thing is that when Li Yan spoke just now, his face was full of confidence. He was so sure that the foundation-building cultivators could not see through the secret of this silver paper. That was because Li Yan himself was a top existence in the foundation-building stage, so he said so.
After hearing this, Li Yan was stunned at first, then he did not answer. After a light laugh, he waved his hand to take the silver paper back from the distance. Since he could not open it now, he could only wait until his cultivation was sufficient in the future.
Bro, who thought that Li Yan had tacitly agreed to his cultivation level, shook his head slightly. It was unclear whether he was dissatisfied that his cultivation level was so much lower than the other party's, or for some other reason.
But just when Li Yan was about to put the silver paper into the storage bag, Bro suddenly spoke again, "Brother Jiang, did you try it with your spiritual power just now? Maybe it's not as it seems on the surface."
Li Yan was stunned, then he realized that he seemed to have made a misunderstanding. No matter from which angle you look at it, this piece of silver paper seems to be a carrier for recording some kind of text. Bro is right, maybe this thing itself is a magic weapon.
After Bro finished speaking, he found a corner to practice again. This time, he looked relaxed and free and easy.
Half an hour later, Li Yan reluctantly put the silver paper away. No matter how he poured spiritual power into it or used spiritual power to destroy it, the silver paper did not react at all. Even the ripples no longer appeared under the infusion of spiritual power.
Of course, Li Yan did not dare to use his spiritual power to attack the paper with all his strength, for fear that if he used brute force, the silver paper would be destroyed.
