At the same time, Shuang Qingqing also knew that Xiaozhu Peak was no longer the same as it used to be. It had only retained a few disciples many years ago, and each disciple was a core disciple.
Of course, being a core disciple means having considerable power, and they can learn about other inheritances that other disciples of the other four peaks cannot know.
So she thought that she might be able to get some information from Li Yan about this matter.
As for Wei Chongran, she was not familiar with him. Besides, the longer a cultivator lives, the more cunning he becomes.
In fact, she had thought about going to search the souls of important disciples of the Wuliang Sect like Wei Chongran, but in her current state, it was impossible to kidnap people under the noses of the four Nascent Soul Masters of the Wuliang Sect.
Especially since the other side has two late-stage great monks. Although Shuang Qingqing is fearless, she always has to worry about Mu Liuzong behind her, and she may not be able to clean up after eating.
In the end, she set her sights on Li Yan.
"I came to you today just to ask you a small question. Do you know that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator named Gu Jiuqi in Xiaozhu Peak?"
After Shuang Qingqing asked this question, she stared at Li Yan with burning eyes. Li Yan was stunned at first and did not answer immediately. He thought about it for a while and felt a little strange.
"Master Gu was the peak master of Xiaozhu Peak more than 40,000 years ago. He should have ascended to the immortal world long ago."
Li Yan knew about the inheritance of the monsters, especially the successive masters and elders of Xiaozhu Peak.
Li Yan looked relaxed, but he was extremely surprised in his heart. He thought of many possibilities in a moment, but the result was unbelievable to him.
He thought of a possibility from the other party's words. Listening to Shuang Qingqing's tone, she spoke of the name "Gujiuqi" in a very normal tone, as if she knew Master Gu.
Shuang Qingqing never said that her real body existed in that period, but only said that she had participated in the battle to eliminate the remnants of the demon clan.
The invasion of the demons happened tens of millions of years ago, but the fighting has never stopped, just like among the cultivators of their generation, Wei Chongran and his group were fighting with the demon cultivators in the cracks of the Yinmo Cliff.
There are still demons lurking on the Great Wild Moon Continent. Most of them have gone from open to secret, often assassinating human monks and doing things like snatching the "Boundary Breaking Pearl". It's just that ordinary monks didn't know about this in the past.
Forty thousand years ago, when the ancient master was alive, the war with the demons was extremely brutal. If Shuang Qingqing appeared in that era, it would be consistent with the experience of extermination that she had once described.
But as soon as this idea emerged in Li Yan's mind, Li Yan knew that there was something wrong with his idea. This was extremely absurd.
A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage can live to about two thousand years old. As for how long a Spiritualization stage cultivator can live, Li Yan doesn't know, but he thinks it will definitely not be tens of thousands of years.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be many Jinhua-stage cultivators in the Wild Moon Continent. Even if we exclude those who have ascended, there should be as many Yuanying-stage cultivators as there are now.
What's more, Shuang Qingqing is just a remnant soul of an early Nascent Soul cultivator. It is incredible that she can survive until now.
Li Yan had some speculations about this earlier. Shuang Qingqing was able to keep a wisp of residual soul from dissipating. There must be some special reason for this.
For example, the "Feisha Ancient Cave" has unknown secrets. It is extremely mysterious. Legend has it that an ancient earth-type powerful god failed to ascend to heaven after a catastrophe and died, and then turned into his natal magic weapon.
Earth-type cultivators are the strongest defenders, and their magic weapons have the power to isolate the laws of heaven and earth, so this situation is not impossible to occur.
In that case, the soul living in the body will lose the concept of time and can survive for thousands of years.
What's more, Li Yan had personally entered the "Feisha Ancient Cave". The fact that the golden giant had a Nascent Soul cultivator there was simply inexplicable.
Li Yan even felt that the legends might not be true. The formation of the "Flying Sand Ancient Cave" might have other reasons, and it might not be the result of a magic weapon created by an ancient cultivator. Otherwise, the strong winds that would only appear in turbulent space could not be explained.
Of course, this was Li Yan’s original guess about Shuang Qingqing’s origins, but he never thought that a remnant soul could live for tens of thousands of years.
Although Li Yan tried his best to make his tone sound calm, how could the unintentional fluctuations of his spiritual power escape Shuang Qingqing's discerning eyes.
Her eyes suddenly turned cold and her voice became emotionless.
"Boy, it seems that you have thought of many things. You should know that the more you think, the faster you may die."
Li Yan felt his body frozen in just a split second, and the entire cave instantly turned into the Nine Netherworld Cold Palace.
Li Yan was startled and wanted to use his internal energy to break free, but the little bit of magic power he had was no different from that of a weak wandering insect in front of Shuang Qingqing. The spiritual energy in his dantian was instantly frozen and could not move even an inch.
Li Yan's face suddenly became embarrassed, and although Bai Rou beside him also felt the coldness in Shuang Qingqing's eyes, she was not affected at all.
But when she saw Li Yan's expression, she was stunned at first, then became very anxious, and took a step in front of Li Yan.
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, what do you mean by this? Didn't you just want to ask Junior Brother Li something? How did he offend you by answering?"
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked directly into Shuang Qingqing's cold eyes.
"Oh, this guy is not honest. He clearly knows that this is not the answer I want."
Shuang Qingqing said expressionlessly.
After hearing this, Li Yan's heart quickly calmed down after the initial fear. "Although you can kill me quietly with your method, many monks saw me coming here.
Given her intelligence, she would definitely not do anything bad to me. This is to tell me not to speculate and not to tell anyone about this matter."
Bai Rou in front did not retreat, but just looked at Shuang Qingqing with red eyes, and time seemed to freeze for a moment.
But everything seemed to be an illusion. The next moment, Li Yan felt his body suddenly relax, and the spiritual power in his body immediately returned to normal, still surging.
The cold and gloomy air in the entire cave was swept away, and the laughter of the two silver bells once again reached their ears.
"Hahaha, I just tricked him. He really tricked me. The boy was so scared that his face turned pale. Rou'er, you... Hahaha"
Shuang Qingqing was sitting there laughing so hard that her body was shaking. Her pair of dazzling white breasts, visible under her purple skirt, were shaking and rising. Her beautiful eyes were constantly scanning back and forth between Bai Rou and Li Yan.
Bai Rou suddenly realized that this old ancestor had used many tricks to tease her in the past when they were in Muliu Sect. However, she never expected that today, when he was questioning Li Yan, he would suddenly come up with such a trick. This was clearly aimed at her.
Bai Rou's face turned red as blood. She bit her teeth lightly, but did not look back at Li Yan. Instead, she snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Grandmaster, this is not good at all. There are only juniors here, and it will scare people to death!"
He moved aside lightly, revealing Li Yan with a bitter look on his face. For a moment, Li Yan didn't know whether his guess was right or wrong, and started cursing in his heart.
"Is this woman's soul incomplete and her brain damaged? She behaves differently from moment to moment and even makes fun of her own disciple..."
Finally, he felt helpless in his heart. Li Yan was really afraid to see this senior Shuang Qingqing now. He remembered that he had deliberately shown his seductive figure and embarrassed himself.
"Li Yan, how much do you know about the Ancient Wine Flag? You are a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak. I don't think you know more than this about him."
Shuang Qingqing asked again with a smile. This smile was so graceful and charming that she knew Li Yan was smart. For a moment she didn't know whether what the peerless beauty in front of her said was true or false.
Did he really see through my thoughts just now, causing dissatisfaction and a hint of murderous intent in the other party
Li Yan was still too naive to understand the thoughts of the Yuanying old monster, and he could not see through him.
“Senior, there aren’t many records of Master Gu. He really did leave behind a peak master token and a jade slip one day tens of thousands of years ago, and then he disappeared without a trace, never returning to the sect again.
But the soul lamp he left in the sect was not extinguished until a hundred years later.
You should know that if you really succeed in ascending, since the mortal world and the fairy world are completely different, the soul lamp will automatically extinguish when it cannot sense anything.
This does not mean that he died, so no one knows what happened to Gu Shizu in the end."
After hearing this, Shuang Qingqing frowned and thought for a while, then nodded gently. Of course, she knew this, but she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
After a pause, she said with a smile on her face.
"Your ancient master had some connection with our Muliu Sect. A great elder of Muliu Sect once deposited something with him.
After returning to the sect this time, I accidentally found this jade slip, which I had not discovered at first.
This thing is very important to the Muliu Clan, so could you tell me in detail what you have seen about the ancient wine flag? Perhaps I can get some clues from it.
I promise you, no matter what the result is, I will make a puppet for you within five years.
Although it is definitely not as good as the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape, it is not much different from the puppet in Rou'er's hand now."
It was not known whether her words were intentional or unintentional, but they answered the questions in Li Yan and Bai Rou's minds. It was an explanation for why she asked Li Yan to come here today.
At the same time, she actually promised Li Yan a great gift. Li Yan was of course well aware of the power of the mother-and-child puppet in Bai Rou's hand. Just based on the combat power of the puppet itself, even with the cultivation level of foundation building, it was capable of fighting against the golden elixir.
Especially as the realm improves, someone like Bai Rou, after entering the Jindan stage, will not be afraid of the Jindan middle stage cultivators at all.
This huge benefit is undoubtedly pie in the sky, and it also allows one to make friends with a Nascent Soul cultivator, which is not something a cultivator can refuse.
Although Li Yan's own strength was already quite good, he certainly hoped to obtain such a high-level puppet. So Li Yan no longer cared about Shuang Qingqing's capricious character and thanked her with a great gift.
Then he began to try hard to memorize the jade slips he had read before, and then told everyone about his great-grandmaster Gu Jiuqi one by one.
There are many records in the jade slips of the Wuliang Sect about each generation of peak masters or important disciples. These can be regarded as the historical records of the Wuliang Sect and the inherited memory of a certain peak, to encourage future generations to emulate them.
But the jade slip would definitely only record some important things, and would not mention trivial matters at all, so if Li Yan spoke quickly, he could finish in less than half a cup of tea.
But every time he said a few words, Shuang Qingqing half-closed her beautiful eyes, leaned on the back of the stone chair, and tapped the armrest lightly with a jade-like finger as white as a scallion, Li Yan would stop when he was practical.
Until Shuang Qingqing signaled him to continue, she would inadvertently raise some questions about a certain sentence. Li Yan had to connect this matter with other jade slips he had read and try to think about the relevant information.
