Fengliang Mountain is indeed a branch of Shibuyuan. Although the concentration of spiritual energy is much lower than that on Xiaozhu Peak, it is definitely a place that all first-class sects are vying for.
Therefore, Li Yan and his companions do not need the assistance of spirit stones for their daily breathing here. However, the spiritual energy in places where Jindan cultivators like Wei Chongran live is much richer than that in Li Yan's cave.
Li Yan waited for more than two hours. When Wei Chongran came back with a tired look on his face, he just waved at Li Yan and walked towards the cave first.
Li Yan stood up and followed with a normal expression, without any sign of impatience.
After entering the cave, Wei Chongran sat down at the top and rubbed his forehead with his fingers.
After days of fighting, coupled with the formulation of follow-up plans in the past day and the arrangement of all matters major and minor in Fengliang Mountain, even though he is a cultivator, he feels a little exhausted.
When Li Yan came in, Wei Chongran waved his hand casually, motioning Li Yan to sit down.
"The reason I summoned you here today is mainly because you completed this mission very well, so the higher-ups want to give you some rewards."
Having said that, Wei Chongran did not hesitate. He flicked his sleeves and threw a storage bag to him.
Li Yan was a little surprised when he heard his master mention the reward right away, but thinking about the steps he had taken under the nose of the Nascent Soul Demon General, he deserved these.
It was just that when I accepted the task, I was a little scared and forgot to mention the conditions for a moment. It seems that my master has thought it through very carefully.
Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little depressed that he didn't take the opportunity to propose conditions at that time. He still needed to strengthen his character.
Otherwise, I should have taken the opportunity to ask for what I wanted instead of this random reward.
However, even if it was a reward from above, it would not be too bad. After Li Yan grabbed the storage bag in his hand, he thanked Wei Chongran.
Seeing that Wei Chongran didn't seem to care, Li Yan thought that there might be some spirit stones or magic techniques inside. Spirit stones were not too scarce for him now, but if it was a good attack and defense magic technique, that would be what he lacked the most.
As for any technique for cultivating spiritual power, Li Yan would definitely not practice it. With his mixed spiritual roots, it would be useless to practice anything.
At that time, I will offer it in exchange for a powerful magic. Maybe this will not be a problem. Li Yan's mind was racing as he released his spiritual consciousness.
But when Li Yan's spiritual sense probed into the storage bag, his originally calm face, after being stunned for a moment, actually revealed a look of ecstasy.
It was not until this time that Wei Chongran's leisurely voice came.
"Here are most of the body materials of a third-order peak 'Jade Horned Snake' that failed to survive the tribulation. The 'Jade Horned Snake' you mentioned last time should not require a whole one.
I think these materials should be enough for you. I originally planned to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains in person after returning to the sect this time. I remember there should be a third-level "Jade Horn Snake" there.
But now that I have this opportunity, I can ask for it. This is what Grandmaster Mo Qing personally asked for from the Taixuan Sect, and he spent a lot of time and effort on it. See if you can use it."
Li Yan's spiritual sense swept across a piece of crystal-like jade material in the storage bag. An eyeball of the "Jade Horned Snake", seven teeth, several vertebrae, and half of a hideous head that was two feet in length were all in it.
Then there were some dried organs, and finally Li Yan's consciousness fell on a pair of tentacles that were as cold as ice from the sky. The tentacles flashed with a cold crystal light, which made Li Yan's consciousness a little dizzy.
"Level three, this is the material of the third-level 'Jade Horned Snake', and it is the one that failed to transcend the tribulation..." Li Yan muttered to himself in surprise.
Immediately after hearing Wei Chongran's words, Li Yan quickly responded.
"Of course it's available. Thank you, Master!"
After Li Yan's consciousness withdrew from the storage bag, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the sky.
This gift not only surprised him, but was also extremely valuable. It was also a third-level Ice Cloud Feather, but its material was much inferior to that of the "Jade Horned Snake".
The two Ice Cloud Feathers were obtained by Wei Chongran and others when they killed a Stage 3 Early Stage Seven-Colored Ice Goose.
The material of the "Jade Horned Snake" here is actually the body material of a third-order peak monster that failed to pass the tribulation. This is like the difference between an early Jindan cultivator and a false infant cultivator. The difference between the two is huge.
For the monsters that have gone through the tribulation, even those that ultimately failed, their bodies have been tempered by the tribulation. The benefits of this are difficult to explain, but at the very least their bones and flesh have been raised to a higher level, or even higher.
And the most difficult to explain is that some monsters that died in the heavenly calamity may have a trace of the power of heaven and earth, such as thunder, lightning, wind, rain, etc., which may bring additional attributes to one's own refining of natal magic weapons.
Granting a magic weapon attack characteristics that do not belong to it is, of course, only a possibility, but this glimmer of hope is what cultivators look forward to most.
Although Wei Chongran can now easily kill a Jindan early stage cultivator, which is almost the same as waving his hand, a Jindan stage cultivator would definitely not want to encounter a monster of this level.
Even Wei Chongran doesn't have much chance of winning, not to mention that this kind of monster is hard to come by. You must have a great opportunity if you want to see it.
Wei Chongran raised his hand and lifted Li Yan's body up.
"Your mission this time was really good. Grandmaster Mo Qing admired you very much, so he was willing to say a word for you and exchanged the original reward for this item."
Wei Chongran said this lightly without mentioning himself at all, but Li Yan was not stupid. The refining materials he needed were only known by Bai Rou, Sun Guoshu and his master.
Ancestor Mo Qing was able to specially change these refining materials, but he is not a real god, so how can he predict the future? Only the master would suggest this, and this is exactly what he needs most at the moment.
Li Yan did not continue to shoot, the master and the apprentice were both smart people, just knowing some things was enough. Li Yan suddenly remembered something.
"Master, could it be that among the Nascent Soul cultivators who attacked the Nameless Valley that time, there was Ancestor Mo Qing?"
Li Yan recalled that when he was lurking on the steep mountain where he had plotted against the beautiful woman in green gauze, there was a faint spiritual consciousness hovering around him, as if protecting him in secret.
Now thinking of Wei Chongran's words, Li Yan immediately had an idea. Could that consciousness be Master Mo Qing? Otherwise, others would not take care of him like that.
Especially at the last moment of his escape, that spiritual consciousness appeared again and saved his life.
Wei Chongran nodded slightly, and this time he did not hide it.
"I begged Grandmaster Mo Qing to help. After all, your cultivation is too low, and there is no guarantee that you will be protected by others."
The others that Wei Chongran mentioned were of course those Yuanying monsters like Xiao Yaoyuan. The master and disciple understood this tacitly.
Li Yan was moved again. He didn't expect that Master Mo Qing's appearance was also due to Wei Chongran's pleading. As a teacher, Wei Chongran had taken meticulous care of his disciples.
Li Yan's eyes flickered a few times, but he still didn't say thank you again.
"Master, did your sudden appearance in the battle a few days ago have anything to do with the mission I was carrying out?"
"Well, you have thought of this too? It is of great importance, so the death order was issued that day, requiring that the powerful magic weapon in the Nameless Valley must be destroyed before dawn.
Otherwise, you can imagine that when the war begins, both sides cannot use powerful magic weapons on the battlefield.
However, almost all the middle and high-level cultivators from both sides have been dispatched, and the three defensive formations at Fengliang Mountain, Tunmo Ridge, and Jianfuyuan will inevitably be hit hard.
If there were no Nascent Soul cultivators, the rear would be lost, no matter how well they fought in the front. They were already a direct threat to the cracks in the Yin Demon Cliff.
The other side only needs one Nascent Soul Demon General holding a powerful magic weapon in the Nameless Valley to hold back three to six of our Nascent Soul cultivators and prevent them from moving forward. Without so many Nascent Soul cultivators on the battlefield ahead, the pressure and outcome will not be optimistic. "
"What if I fail to complete the task?" Li Yan asked.
"storm!
Alternatively, two Yuanyings could hold the demon general back, not giving her any chance to cast spells. However, at the Yuanying level, casting a spell is only a matter of a second, so holding her back would be easier than just talking.
At most, the opponent lost the assistance of the altar in the valley when being attacked, so she just couldn't fire more times in an instant.
But during the flight, the demon general can sometimes control the magic weapon to attack a certain place, so this plan is only the last resort.
By the way, now that you have obtained those 'Jade Horned Snake' materials, you have gathered all the materials you need to refine your own magic weapon. Do you want to go back to the sect
You have performed your missions quite well these past few times, and no one will gossip about you if you return."
After Wei Chongran gave a simple answer, he thought about the fact that Li Yan had never refined his own magic weapon, which was very important for a cultivator.
Li Yan's combat capability is already pretty good. If he also has his own magical weapon, then his chances of surviving the war between the two clans can be increased by at least 10% to 20%.
Li Yan was already moved by this and thought about it for a moment.
"My disciple also had the same idea. Now that I have obtained the final main material, it is time to refine my life-saving magic weapon."
In fact, Li Yan only needs some bone materials for the "Jade Horned Snake". He just saw the teeth and vertebrae, but he doesn't plan to use them now.
Because the pair of well-preserved tentacles are the hardest part of the "Jade Horned Snake", it is a better choice for Li Yan.
Fortunately, the senior from Taixuan Sect did not use it, which was considered a great luck for Li Yantian.
Next, Wei Chongran asked Li Yan in detail about how he escaped. When he learned that if Grandmaster Mo Qing had not intervened at the last moment, Li Yan might have been discovered and killed, he felt relieved.
An hour later, Li Yanfei left Wei Chongran's cave, feeling really happy. He went back to pack up his things. He planned to be teleported back to the sect with Elder Chi Gong and the others early tomorrow morning.
Thinking that he had been away from the sect for two years, Li Yan, who was flying in the air, actually missed Xiaozhu Peak and his own small courtyard for a moment.
Although only Fourth Senior Sister Miao Wangqing is guarding the peak now, Xiaozhu Peak is after all the place where he truly began his cultivation of immortality. Every blade of grass, every bamboo and every cloud there holds his most youthful memories.
Under the huge full moon, a man and a woman on the platform were whispering in the night.
“I wonder how Zhao Min and Chen Ying are doing now
The crack in the Yin Demon Cliff, I will also take it over after I finish refining my life-saving magic weapon this time."
Two figures appeared in Li Yan's mind, which actually touched his long-lost feelings and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Then, the faces of Li Wuyi, Lin Daqiao and others appeared before his eyes.
"Hehehe, I wonder if they will be surprised when we meet again."
Thinking about his current level of cultivation, Li Yan felt somewhat proud. However, he knew that even at the fastest speed, it would take at least three months, or even half a year, to refine his own magic weapon, and that did not include the time for nurturing.
