When Tiedong asked this question, the demons behind him naturally knew who he was asking.
After the three demons stationed in "Zhouyang Town" looked at each other, the middle-aged demon cultivator named Wu who was investigating the matter hurriedly flew to Tiedong and briefly described the results of his investigation in a low voice, and also briefly mentioned his own opinions.
Tiedong remained expressionless after hearing this, which made the three demon leaders stationed in "Zhouyang Town" behind him feel uneasy, fearing that the other party would suddenly attack and kill them with their own hands.
Tiedong was thinking, "Feng Liangshan is really willing to take such a big risk. The purpose of that team coming here is definitely not as simple as taking one person away! What conspiracy is behind this that can make them take such a big action?"
Tiedong was also angry about his side's misjudgment yesterday. When two Yuanying and eight Jindan appeared from Fengliang Mountain to harass them, they thought their intentions had been discovered by the other side.
So all attention was focused on them, but who would have thought that there was a master who was good at hiding his whereabouts hidden among them. He was there for a scout team that appeared inexplicably. Not only did they cross nearly ten thousand miles, but they also made a demon disappear. In the end, the Jindan returned safely with his men.
It was not until the two Yuanyings from Fengliang Mountain suddenly turned around and returned that they felt something was wrong. After Tiedong personally investigated, they found out that the other party was not dispatched because they had discovered the demon clan's plan, but that the scout team must have obtained the news.
… …
Li Yan didn't wake up until a day later. He had no idea what had happened in the outside world, and no one came to inform him of any news.
In Wei Chongran's opinion, even if Li Yan's body had some strange power to repair itself, it would take at least five to ten days for it to recover basically, so he simply ignored him.
Moreover, at this moment, Wei Chongran had personally led his team to fly away from Fengliang Mountain to meet the demon army.
After Li Yan woke up, he felt the situation inside his body. At this moment, his spiritual power had recovered a little, and his consciousness no longer felt painful. At least he was not as weak as before when he got out of bed and walked around.
Looking at the blood stains on his body, Li Yan suddenly remembered, smiled bitterly, and immediately got out of bed to wash himself. After just a brief performance of the "Cloud and Rain Technique", Li Yan felt a little breathless again.
"I'm lucky this time. I almost went to the underworld. I don't even know if it really exists." Li Yan took a few deep breaths and could only shake his head at his current condition.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yan calmed down. He didn't know whether the demon army had already attacked here, but what he needed to do now was to recover his cultivation as soon as possible.
Otherwise, in his current condition, let alone protecting himself, he would collapse to the ground even if he ran a distance of more than ten feet.
After calming down for a while, Li Yan immediately sat cross-legged with his five hearts facing his heart, and carefully practiced the "Gui Shui Zhen Jing", slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
He knew that his tendons and veins were now very fragile, so he dared not breathe in and out as usual. After he absorbed a trace of spiritual energy into his dantian, he felt the slight pain when the spiritual energy passed through his meridians, and found nothing unusual, so he slowly put his mind at ease.
Then Li Yan stopped absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and only used the little spiritual power in his dantian, carefully and cautiously circulating it repeatedly through his meridians and flesh.
He wanted to allow the meridians of this reshaped body to slowly adapt to the impact of spiritual energy and thereby nourish it.
Half a day later, Li Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, had a faint black energy flowing around his body. His breathing was even and he had entered a state of ecstasy.
One day later, Li Yan began to hold a spirit stone in each hand, and the spiritual energy outside his body began to become thicker. Li Yan's expression was neither happy nor sad, and his complexion had returned to normal, no longer as pale as before.
Another day later, dozens of gray spirit stones had piled up around Li Yan. Circles of black air rippled outside his body, and the black air turned into water mist that lingered within three feet of Li Yan.
This was the sign that the Guishui Sutra was beginning to run smoothly. At this moment, Li Yan's breath was long and thick.
On the fifth day, Li Yan slowly opened his eyes. A gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes and then disappeared, making the entire cave suddenly bright, and then returned to normal.
The little purple dragon elephant lying in a corner of the cave raised its head, and then fell into a deep sleep again. Seeing that Li Yan was in good spirits, it felt more at ease about its own life.
Looking at the nearly one hundred spirit stones that had been consumed, Li Yan muttered to himself.
"After consuming so many spirit stones in a row, I have finally recovered. However, the toughness of my reshaped body has not improved much. It is still at the level I reached when I refined the essence and blood of the Immortal Nether Phoenix."
After feeling the power in his body, Li Yan changed his mind and thought.
"I don't know what the situation is outside now, but at least Fengliang Mountain is fine."
Li Yan quietly released his spiritual sense. He found that after his spiritual sense passed through Fengliang Mountain, there were much fewer cultivators appearing here than before, and there were strong spiritual power fluctuations coming from the south.
After a moment, Li Yan withdrew his spiritual consciousness, put his hand on his chin and began to think.
“As expected, the war has begun. If I go out in my current state and meet a powerful demon cultivator again, the outcome will not be much different from before. Moreover, the trace of the ‘Immortal Dark Phoenix’ blood essence in my body has already been completely integrated and reshaped.
If I encounter a life-or-death situation again, I will have no other life-saving trump card except the True Essence Pill. "
Should he go out now, or refine a little more of the Immortal Phoenix's blood essence before going out? Li Yan was a little embarrassed for a moment. The cultivators of Fengliang Mountain should be fighting against the demon cultivators now. He has recovered. If he continues to practice, it would be a bit unreasonable.
But when he thought about the role he could play if he went out now, Li Yan hesitated again. Of course, he wanted more money to save his life.
If you want to improve your own strength as quickly as possible, there is only one way, which is to refine a trace of the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix". The improvement of Qiongqi's purgatory technique and magic power is not something that can be achieved overnight.
"Then try refining it for a day. If it still feels as difficult as it did in the Northern Ocean, it will take at least a year or two. Then just give up the day after tomorrow. Anyway, I was planning to practice for another day to consolidate and adapt to my current body."
Li Yan made up his mind and immediately began to regulate his breathing. He also didn't think that the battle between the two sides would have a different outcome if he was missing during the day. He was not a Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation cultivator who could control the fate of the world.
What's more, Li Yan had a new guess about this refining in his mind. He immediately stretched out his hand and slapped his waist. The Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan was floating in front of him, emitting a faint yellow light as before.
Then he raised his index finger and tapped lightly. Suddenly, the Lihuo Xuanhuang fan flashed, and the space in front of him twisted slightly. Then, a river of blood appeared in front of him.
Li Yan did not make any more unnecessary movements, but directly stretched his index finger into the river of blood. His spiritual sense instantly found an extremely thin silver thread. With a slight pull of his finger, the silver thread wrapped around Li Yan's index finger like a spirit snake.
Li Yan's body shook violently, and his face immediately showed the same pain as a few days ago, but Li Yan closed his eyes tightly, secretly practicing the mantra in his mind...
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yan, who was practicing in the cave, suddenly frowned, because the Fengliang Mountain Waist Plate hanging on his waist made a low "buzzing" sound, and Li Yan was finally awakened.
"How long have I been in meditation?"
His spiritual sense first swept through the blood river, and he was shocked, because he sensed that only about 80% of the drop of "Immortal Phoenix" blood essence was left in the blood river.
It took me a year and a half to refine 10% of my essence and blood. Has a year already passed now
Although the process of refining essence and blood was very painful, after Li Yan refined it this time, he actually entered a semi-meditation state. The pain he had experienced at the beginning had become invisible in his feeling.
This had never happened the first time he refined the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix".
Seeing that he had refined the essence and blood that would take at least a year to fuse, although Li Yan had some guesses in his mind earlier, he didn't know for a moment how long he had been in meditation.
He felt as if he was in a trance, as if he was wandering in a trance.
The token on his waist continued to buzz, which woke Li Yan from his meditation. He slowly pulled his fingers out of the river of blood, and after adjusting his breath for a while, he took off the token on his waist and sank his consciousness into it.
As soon as his spiritual consciousness entered, he heard Wei Chongran's voice, "Li Yan, if you have recovered, come to my cave!" With only this sentence, Li Yan did not hear anything unusual from the tone.
After Li Yan put down the token, he held his chin and thought for a while. He didn't know why Wei Chongran called him. Besides, the time originally scheduled for him to refine the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix" was one day, but it seemed to have been extended by hundreds of times.
For a moment he felt a little embarrassed. This was the front line of the battlefield, the place where they fought against the demons. People like Gong Chenying had been called out from seclusion before, but he had been practicing for such a long time.
But at the same time, Li Yan's heart was filled with joy. This time, after refining the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix", his physical body was once again greatly improved.
It also pushed the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique directly from the early second level to the middle second level.
Li Yan's Qiongqi Purgatory Technique is now at the middle stage of the second level and is no longer its original form. It is estimated that even if the elders of the Tianli tribe see it again, they can only feel that it is not true and cannot be sure what kind of technique Li Yan is practicing.
Li Yan's strength and defense are now about twice as high as before, which naturally makes Li Yan think of what would happen if he met the middle-stage Jindan demon in the valley again, although he would still be more likely to die than live.
But he would never let himself be repelled to the point of death. Li Yan judged that if he used "Five Elements Return to Hongmeng" in the last attack and attacked the throat of the demon cultivator, it should cause the opponent to suffocate for about two breaths, and at the same time, the injury to the throat would be more serious.
Don't underestimate this slight improvement in attack. If Li Yan practices normally, he will not be able to do it unless he truly practices to the early stage of the Golden Core and uses more powerful spiritual power to assist in the attack.
This is an extraordinary and amazing improvement for any monk.
What surprised Li Yan even more was that, whether it was due to the reshaping of his body or the refining of his essence and blood, his cultivation level had also improved and he had reached the level of minor success in making fake elixir.
You should know that Li Yan has only been in the false elixir for more than two years. Usually for a foundation-building cultivator, each step from entering the false elixir to small success and then to great success may take ten years or even dozens of years.
At the beginning, Zhuo Lingfeng was unable to condense the golden elixir, partly because he was stuck at a small hurdle for many years, but of course the more important reason was that he gave most of the cultivation resources to Hu Chen Wuding.
While he was pleasantly surprised, Li Yan didn't want to have a second chance when he thought about the prerequisites for this kind of promotion. To be honest, a breakthrough forced by pressure and death was too dangerous.
Death is not something he can control. Having a strong and fearless heart does not mean that he will really force himself towards death step by step. Li Yan is only willing to do things that are sure. Caution and prudence have long been ingrained in his bones and blood.
