As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, the little purple dragon elephant rushed into a "fire eye" without looking back. Then the fire eye began to shake, with such powerful force.
Li Yan sighed inwardly. If he continued to fight against this purple dragon elephant, he would only be able to flee. This was the innate magical power of the monster beast. It did not require cultivation, but only growth to be promoted.
Li Yan looked up at the "Fire Eye" where he and Bro had just come out. Yesterday, after Yiming dismissed his three fellow apprentices, he also entered the "Fire Eye" where Li Yan was hiding. He did not continue searching, as he had done this twice before. Instead, he stepped into the rolling golden magma under the rock cliff, and then his figure disappeared.
This is also the reason why Li Yan did not let the little purple dragon elephant enter the "Fire Eye" before.
"I guess Monk Yiming is looking for a breakthrough and is following me all the way." Li Yan thought.
Time flies, the sky darkens and brightens, brightens and then darkens again, the leaden clouds in the sky slowly move away into the distance, and behind them the same large and thick leaden clouds float towards us again, as if they are endless.
In this depressing environment, four months had passed in the blink of an eye. Several cultivators came during this period, but Li Yan's spiritual sense was strong. He had already avoided them before they arrived. He would only appear again after they left.
During the four months, Li Yan saw monsters with big heads and thin tails constantly appearing and devouring the magma, but he did not find any fire-related materials in the magma. During these four months, no cultivators came out of the "Huoyan Palace", and even the monk Yiming seemed to have lost contact.
Li Yan sat cross-legged on the barren hill motionlessly, with the Purple Dragon Elephant lying beside him. At this time, the Purple Dragon Elephant's body had shrunk by more than two times compared to before, and was only the size of a seven or eight-year-old child. However, its muscles were bulging, and there was a misty purple air flow on its skin. Its breath had become long and distant, but as long as it moved, the surrounding space would cause a slight distortion.
After devouring the golden magma for half a month, it no longer grew and condensed the illusory soul into a physical entity. If you didn't use your spiritual sense to sense it, you wouldn't think it was a soul at all.
But after it came out of the "fire eye", it was no longer willing to stay in the purple flag. Li Yan just let it go and simply put the purple flag on the ground beside it.
He was bored being alone here, so when he was not practicing, he would talk to it or occasionally use it to practice his Qiongqi Purgatory Technique. But now even if Li Yan used all his strength, he could not hurt this purple dragon elephant at all.
Of course, this was in addition to Li Yan's attack with his spiritual consciousness. The reason was very simple. Li Yan had already re-refined the "Great Dragon Elephant Formation" in the "Fire Eye" and had already engraved the imprint of his spiritual consciousness into the soul of the Purple Divine Dragon Turtle. Now he only needed a thought to destroy the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant and the "Great Dragon Elephant Formation" together, leaving no residue in this world.
Therefore, the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant will no longer resist any orders from Li Yan.
Li Yan opened his eyes. Up to now, his mind was as calm as still water. This situation was within his expectations. After finishing his meditation, Li Yan slowly stood up, looked at the Purple Dragon Elephant which was lazily lying on the ground with its eyes half closed, smiled slightly and walked aside. Then, he made a series of weird and extremely awkward postures.
Looking at Li Yan's movements, the Purple Dragon Elephant's eyes, which were originally half closed, slowly opened. It moved its huge head from the hot rock to one of its outstretched feet, and then stared at Li Yan without blinking.
The Purple Divine Dragon Elephant had long been accustomed to Li Yan's daily practice of meditation and body building.
Looking at this strange set of skills, the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant tried hard to recall, trying to recognize the origin of this set of skills. Its memory came from the memory fragments infused by the three Purple Divine Dragon Elephants, but to his disappointment, its memory only contained some things from ancient times and main memories about its own inheritance, but there was no information about this set of skills.
In its memory, human cultivators did not have such powerful body-refining techniques. The young master in front of it, although not as strong as its current physical body, was far superior to all the cultivators of the same level it had seen since it was born with intelligence.
Although the Purple God Dragon Elephant had never asked, it knew that it was because of this technique that Li Yan's body was so strong. Because every time Li Yan practiced these strange postures, it felt a little bit of fear from those postures, which was a kind of level suppression from the blood.
"Could this be some ancient demon beast's legacy? But as far as I can remember, humans cannot practice the techniques of demon beasts. The only consequence would be violent death."
Li Yan could only take on 60% of its attacks now, which made it somewhat accept Li Yan as its master, although it was still not very satisfied. At least Li Yan's physical body was stronger than all the foundation-building cultivators it had seen. Of course, it had never seen Gong Chenying and Zhao Min, otherwise it would not have thought so.
All of this is due to the magical powers of the Purple Dragon Elephant. What they are best at is strength, so they are also worshippers of strength.
This purple dragon elephant has no physical body, so it cannot sustain such a powerful frontal attack for too long. Moreover, after each battle, it needs to nourish its soul for a long time. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, this purple dragon elephant is unwilling to fight the opponent directly. It prefers to use the power of the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" so that it can exert its strongest combat power and defeat the strong with the weak. The ten purple dragon elephants in the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" were only at the third level, and the strongest one was only at the human false infant level. Otherwise, with ten fourth-level purple dragon elephants, even if the four major sects' Nascent Souls joined forces, they would only be able to escape.
… …
Two months later, Li Yan had been in the Red Maple Pond Palace for half a year. Looking at the retreating group of monsters in the sky, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh. After half a year, it couldn't be said that he gained nothing here. He got a palm-sized gun head and a second-level "Earth Fire Grass", both of which were extremely yang things.
No one knew what material the spear head was made of. It had been in the magma of the "Fire Palace" for who knows how many years, but it had never melted. When it appeared, the tip of the spear flashed a strange red light. After Li Yan took it, he simply lifted it up with his spiritual power without infusing it with any spiritual power, and then let it fall from his hand.
With a light "hiss" sound, the entire gun tip seemed to pierce into the soft snow and disappeared in an instant. It continued to fall underground, leaving only a small hole two fingers wide on the rock in front of Li Yan.
You know, the ground here is made of cooled magma, and it is so hard that even if Li Yan punches it now, the surface will crack and leave a half-foot deep pit. And this strange gun head with a flashing red light is like a hot iron falling into the thick snow, falling all the way to the ground without any stop.
This surprised Li Yan, but he was also very happy. He hurriedly took the object out from underground. Although this object was not of much use to him, he thought of a master who was more suitable to use it.
That second-level "Earth Fire Grass" is considered a relatively rare fire-type alchemy material, and it could probably be sold for a thousand spirit stones.
Apart from this, Li Yan gained nothing else. If it weren't for the appearance of that strange gun tip, Li Yan would have wasted his time here for the past six months.
From this, it can be seen why there would be no cultivators here like Li Yan, who would stay here foolishly just to wait for the treasures spewed out by the "Fire Palace". It would be better to go to other places where they would be more certain.
At this moment, Li Yan's aura was even more powerful, and his magic power had reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and there was a possibility of a breakthrough. This was the result of his hard training here for half a year. Although "Guishui Zhenjing" was a water-based technique, as long as there was a possibility of extreme spiritual energy of a certain attribute in the world, it could be used. However, its effect was not as good as that of the extreme attributes of water and ice, but the five elements could be transformed.
The rapid development of fire spiritual power will also drive the growth of the other four spiritual powers.
At the same time, what made Li Yan most satisfied was that his Qiongqi Purgatory Technique had finally broken through to the second level. Practicing here always made Li Yan several times more painful than before. Strengthening the body required a large amount of spiritual power to travel through the flesh and blood, which required the coordination of breathing.
Every breath he took was like pulling a bellows, and his chest was like a barrel filled with kerosene. When the fire spiritual power from heaven and earth rushed into every inch of his bones, it made his flesh and bones feel as if they were stabbed by millions of fire drills into his body, causing his periosteal muscles to be stimulated even more strongly.
On the other hand, it was thanks to the little purple dragon elephant. Li Yan practiced with it almost every time, but to be more precise, he was completely beaten by the little purple dragon elephant. In the early days, every time he attacked, his bones were almost broken and the pain went deep into his bones. This was when the little purple dragon elephant exerted 60% to 70% of its strength, otherwise Li Yan would have been blasted to the point of breaking bones and tendons.
After being completely defeated, Li Yan would still drag his exhausted body to practice the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique over and over again. He could now operate the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique four times a day. If Gong Chenying and Zhao Min knew about this, they would probably either be in disbelief or think that Li Yan was bragging. The two of them could only complete one and a half cycles of practice a day now, and they would not be able to keep up with the extra spiritual power.
But as time went by, just a few days later, the little purple dragon elephant was surprised to find that every time Li Yan finished that set of strange postures, he only needed to meditate for an hour before he could continue practicing with full energy. Moreover, as time went by, the little purple dragon elephant had to slowly increase its strength to about 80% before it could completely crush Li Yan.
The little purple dragon elephant felt more and more pressure and began to blame Li Yan. The reason was that every time it exerted 70% of its physical strength, the speed at which its soul power was consumed increased exponentially. It had to enter the "Fire Eye" magma again and again to devour and recover, which prevented it from staying outside to sleep for a long time.
Fortunately, the magma here is endless, otherwise the little purple dragon elephant would not be able to maintain such a powerful output every day.
This incident also made Li Yan wonder if he could store some magma and keep it with him without any rare treasures to enhance the soul of the little purple dragon elephant, in case he needed to restore the little purple dragon elephant in the future. However, no matter how he cast the spell, even if he brought the magma here into the "earth spot", what he got in the end was just a cooled, hard rock.
The jade boxes and bottles containing the elixirs could not withstand the high temperature of the magma and exploded into powder. In the end, Li Yan had no choice but to give up.
