"What do you do? Which sect do you belong to? When were you recruited here? Take out your token and let me see it." The man had a gloomy face and spoke in a cold tone.
Li Yan was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to have this attitude, but he immediately figured it out.
Because he was a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak in the Wuliang Sect, he basically met people who were older than him. Of course, this was when he was still in the Qi Condensation Realm. Even if those who met him were unhappy in their hearts, when they saw the symbol on Li Yan's sleeve, they would greet him with a smile.
He just saw that the spiritual energy fluctuations on this person were very strong, and it looked like he had just established his foundation and had not yet been completely stabilized, so he couldn't help but call him "Junior Brother".
"Oh, I was reckless. I am Li Yan, and this is my sect token."
It was not until Li Yan took out the token that the cultivator realized that this man was from Xiaozhu Peak, and he immediately became polite.
But at the same time, he secretly complained, "Since you are a disciple of the same sect, why don't you wear the sect's uniform here? Don't you know that there are frequent monks coming and going here, and they are basically judged quickly by their clothing?"
Although he thought so in his heart, he put on a smile on his face. There were not many disciples in Xiaozhu Peak, so the other four peaks almost knew everyone's name.
When he heard Li Yan's name, he remembered that this person was the youngest disciple of Xiaozhu Peak. The attitude of this monk from the Wuliang Sect became a little more polite.
After all, the Secret Realm Picking Battle had only been over for a few years, and whether it was the battle for a spot in the secret realm or the victory in the secret realm battle, Li Yan was considered to be somewhat famous at the time.
However, this disciple was a disciple of Laojun Peak, and was assigned to guard the alchemy furnace at that time, so he only heard of Li Yan's name afterward.
When Li Yan followed the man's instructions and arrived at a wide courtyard on the east side of the mountain top, there were ten teleportation arrays standing in a row, each three hundred feet apart.
At this time, there were about a hundred cultivators divided into several groups, standing in front of several teleportation arrays waiting, and here there were ten disciples of the Wuliang Sect in charge of each teleportation array.
After taking a look, Li Yan went straight to a nearby disciple who was guarding a teleportation array.
This person, just like the disciple from Laojun Peak before, seemed a little impatient with Li Yan's coming alone. There were occasionally some people like this who thought their sect had a close relationship with the Wangliang Sect and sometimes came alone to ask questions, but they were always sent away directly.
Of course, if the other party is sensible and can offer something as tribute, and if the level of confidentiality of the information they are seeking is very low, it is not impossible to reveal some information.
Everything became harmonious after Li Yan took out his sect token and the jade slip given by Elder Hua again.
The disciple from the Wuliang Sect smiled and led Li Yan to another teleportation array. After whispering a few words to the monk guarding the teleportation array, he handed Li Yan's jade slip to him. Then he bowed to Li Yan and turned back to his own teleportation array.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Li Yan from Xiaozhu Peak. It's been a long time since we last met!" The cultivator was tall and handsome, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes as he looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan knew that the formation before him must lead to "Fengliang Mountain", so he politely returned the greeting to the man, then looked at him a few more times in confusion, and found that he looked quite familiar.
So he asked casually, "I wonder who is...?"
"Haha, I'm Rong Bo, a disciple of Four Elephants Peak. I also participated in the Secret Realm Picking Battle two years ago, but I only participated in the first half. I couldn't participate in the second half, the 'Wheel of Life and Death', because of an injury."
After he said this, Li Yan suddenly had an impression of him. This person was already a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage at that time. He had indeed seen this person in the team, but his cultivation was too low at that time, so apart from talking with a few familiar people, he had never taken the initiative to interact with others.
"Forgive me for my poor eyesight. I was not able to recognize Brother Rong for a moment. Is this formation the path to Fengliang Mountain?"
Li Yan didn't want to dwell on this any longer. Since entering the "Sword Washing Pavilion" today, he had been entangled in some trivial matters over and over again. Now that the direction has been determined, of course he wants to leave as soon as possible, so Li Yan can only try to get straight to the point.
"Of course, Junior Brother Li, are you going to Fengliang Mountain right away?" Rong Bo asked slowly.
This made Li Yan speechless. If he didn't go to "Fengliang Mountain", would he come here just because he had nothing to do? Besides, hadn't you read Elder Hua's jade slip
Senior Brother Rong in front of him was too long-winded, but he could only be patient. Now he was asking for help, so he bowed again and said, "Yes, it was already explained in the jade slip of Senior Uncle Hua just now. Haha, thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother!"
Rong Bo looked at Li Yan, then looked at the front of the teleportation array he was guarding, and finally said with difficulty, "It seems that Junior Brother Li doesn't know the rules here."
"Rules?" After hearing this, Li Yan looked at Rong Bo's expression and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
"Could it be that Elder Hua is secretly making things difficult for us?"
"Oh, that's right, look at those teleportation arrays."
As he spoke, Rong Bo pointed to several other teleportation arrays on the side. He was pointing at a number of cultivators waiting in line.
Then he went on to say, "Unless it is an emergency, at least ten people are required to teleport each time the teleportation array is activated. Otherwise, it is not allowed to be activated. After all, activating the teleportation array consumes a large amount of spirit stones.
The notice I received here is that the selection and allocation of the monks going to Fengliang Mountain will be completed the day after tomorrow, and it will be opened at that time..."
As he spoke, he pointed to his area. Now, apart from him and Li Yan, there was no one else there.
Li Yan finally understood that although Rong Bo received the notification that no one was teleporting, he was still here. In addition to receiving the people teleporting in the opposite direction, he should also be guarding the teleportation array. It was not like what he thought just now, just waiting to teleport others away from here.
It seems that Elder Hua threw himself into this situation without considering anything else.
"The day after tomorrow..." Li Yan thought for a while. He didn't want to stay here for long. Elder Hua had a changeable personality and was the one who coveted his poisonous body. So it would be better for him to leave as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Li Yan looked at Rong Bo and said with difficulty, "But, I have an urgent task and need to report to Master as soon as possible. Brother, can you make some concessions..."
After hearing what Li Yan said, Rong Bo was embarrassed for a moment. The spirit stones consumed for teleportation here were all recorded, and he couldn't use them at will.
He thought about it and said, "How about this? Junior Brother Li needs to report to Senior Brother Hua and ask her to let you go alone. What do you think? Otherwise, actually... there is another way. The transmission cost... Junior Brother, you have to pay for the spirit stones yourself. If anyone asks about it later, I can just compare Elder Hua's jade slip with the spirit stone amount account."
After Li Yan understood the problem, he certainly would not choose to visit Elder Hua again.
Not to mention that the other party has a changeable personality and he is afraid of seeing her problems, just because of the attitude he showed in front of her just now, Elder Hua may not want to see him again.
There was a look of struggle on Li Yan's face. Seeing Rong Bo's embarrassment, Li Yan finally spoke.
"For this matter, it may not be appropriate to ask Uncle Hua for help, and Master's matter is indeed urgent. Senior Brother, but... I wonder how many spirit stones are needed to open a teleportation array?"
Rong Bo knew that what Li Yan said was the truth. He hadn't seen Junior Brother Li for several years. It was obvious that he had been ordered out to carry out some secret mission, and he was in a hurry to go back and hand in the task.
But it is definitely not a good idea to trouble a Jindan elder for every matter, even if he has the support of Xiaozhu Peak Master.
So he just thought that there were fewer disciples in Xiaozhu Peak, so it was possible that Li Yan could really come up with the spirit stones needed for this teleportation.
"For a distance of 40,000 miles, approximately 580 low-level spirit stones are needed. Junior Brother Li, these spirit stones will be completely consumed by the formation at once, but will be converted into equivalent mid-level spirit stones and then inserted into the spirit stone slot.
Senior brother, I didn't do any pumping. If Junior Brother Li is really in a hurry to teleport, then this is the only thing we can do.
However, I think if I go to Uncle Wei to explain it later, he won’t say anything.”
Li Yan understood the implication of Rong Bo's words. Since it was for the mission, he would just ask Wei Chongran for it back later.
But at the same time, Rong Bo also stated that he did not charge Li Yan any extra spirit stones. Li Yan thought about it and it made sense. It was nearly eight thousand miles from Xuanqing Temple to Linshui City, and Xuanqing Temple asked for three hundred low-level spirit stones.
In fact, Li Yan had already agreed in his heart to take out these spirit stones. Now, a few hundred low-level spirit stones were nothing to Li Yan. His wealth was definitely not comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator. He had more than a hundred mid-grade spirit stones alone. How could he care about such a small amount of spirit stones
But in order to complete the play, Li Yan had to hesitate for a while before finally making a decision...
Familiar scenes and dizziness kept flashing quickly before Li Yan's eyes.
Pieces of fragmented scenes formed a bizarre picture. After a slight dizziness in his mind, the picture in front of Li Yan finally froze.
Through the white light that was slowly stopping its rotation, Li Yan saw the scene outside the teleportation array. This should be a valley.
The mountains on all sides tower into the clouds, the valley is wide and flat, and a large area is paved with huge bluestones. Six teleportation arrays are located on the bluestone-paved ground.
As the "buzzing" sound of the teleportation array slowly disappeared, the white light in front of Li Yan's eyes also completely dissipated, and Li Yan walked down from the teleportation array in one step.
Looking at the wild flowers blooming on the hillside in the distance, Li Yan's mood unconsciously improved. When he thought that he would soon see the people from Xiaozhu Peak whom he had not seen for a long time, he was also in a good mood. Of course, the first person he thought of was Gong Chenying.
"I wonder if Zhao Min happens to be here too?" Li Yan's mood was in turmoil.
At this time, he saw several figures flying towards him quickly. They turned out to be the monks guarding the surroundings. Suddenly, they saw a bright white light coming from one of the teleportation arrays, so they came over to check the cause.
"It's the teleportation array from the Sword Washing Pavilion. It looks like Master Hua has teleported someone new here."
"Huh? Why is there only one person?"
"What's going on over there? Why does one person need to activate the teleportation array? Do they really think low-level spirit stones are not spirit stones?"
As these figures approached quickly, they could already see the situation inside the teleportation array clearly. As soon as the four figures landed, they saw a figure in the teleportation array clearly. As they looked at each other, they became dissatisfied.
Finally, he locked his eyes on Li Yan. At this time, Li Yan had already taken off his green gown and put on a dark green robe during the transmission process. After all, it is better to have less trouble than more.
Li Yan saw several people staring at him with puzzled eyes. He touched his nose, coughed lightly, and was about to greet them because he also saw an acquaintance, but at this moment, a question came from the other side.
