"Bang!"
Li Yan's body fell back heavily again. This time, Li Yan saw stars and waves of dizziness came over him again.
At this moment, the door was pushed open and a tall figure came in.
The visitor saw Li Yan lying on the bed. The quilt had slipped below his abdomen and his chest was heaving violently.
"Master Immortal, Master Immortal, you are awake!"
A rough voice came into Li Yan's ears, but in his buzzing head, the voice seemed to come from the distant horizon.
Li Yan tried hard to open his eyes and see the person clearly, but in the dim light, his previously sharp eyesight could only see a blurry figure approaching him rapidly.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yan felt a warm current flowing down his mouth, and soon a warm current rose up in his abdomen.
This warm current quickly flowed to every part of his body, and slowly Li Yan's mind began to clear up.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself half leaning on the bed, and in front of him there was a man holding a large bowl.
Blurred, Li Yan didn't recognize the man's face.
Then, Li Yan was startled, and countless thoughts began to surge into his mind.
The cracks in the Yin Demon Cliff, Wei Chongran, Zhao Min, the colorful space...
White light... I entered the white light, and then... Oh, Zhao Min, where is Zhao Min
As these thoughts arose, Li Yan's pupils slowly focused.
The warm currents throughout his body gave his weak body some strength, and the pain in his head was no longer as severe as before.
"Master Immortal, Master Immortal..."
A hurried voice came from far away and finally filled Li Yan's ears, pulling Li Yan back from the distant memory.
"Hmm? Who is your Excellency?"
Li Yan's eyes quickly focused on the person in front of him.
Li Yan boasted that he was very tall, but this man looked to be a head taller than him.
He had thick black hair draped behind his head, a high nose, fair skin, and a dignified appearance. He was about forty years old, and was wearing a gray shirt that tightly wrapped around his muscular body. He really looked like a good man.
"Oh, Master Immortal, you are finally awake. I am Shan Yiyuan, the village chief of this village."
Shan Yiyuan held a large bowl in his hand and said respectfully, glancing at the remaining food in the bowl with a sad look on his face.
But I was also feeling lucky in my heart.
"He finally woke up. He has consumed a large piece of the most precious black silver chicken meat in the past two days. It is one of the few good things left in the village."
But thinking about what that adult said as long as we take good care of this person until he wakes up, and when someone comes to collect the order, he can tell that person to exempt the village from providing resource tributes for ten years, I felt happy again.
The resources accumulated over the past ten years cannot be compared to this huge piece of black silver chicken.
Although Li Yan's body had not recovered, he could still feel that there was no spiritual power fluctuation in this person.
"mortal!"
He couldn't help but feel relieved. At the same time, he looked around but couldn't find Zhao Min.
Moreover, he felt that there was something wrong with the person in front of him, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.
At least the title "Master Immortal" he referred to seemed different from that of the mortals he had met. Those people called cultivators "Supreme Immortals".
So he asked calmly.
"Where are my companions??"
"companion?"
Shan Yiyuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
"You mean the other two immortal masters? They left you here to recuperate and left a day and a half ago."
"My two great immortal masters? Could it be that after Zhao Min and I escaped from this predicament, we encountered other members of the Wuling Sect?"
But why didn't they bring me back to the sect, but left me here? Wouldn't that make the battle even more intense..."
Li Yan was inexplicably surprised in his heart. He had not had time to sort out the various thoughts that had just come to his mind, and now there was another thing that confused him.
However, given Li Yan's scheming, he wouldn't show any surprise on his face.
He just nodded.
"Did they say where they went?"
Li Yan asked bluntly. After knowing that the other party was a mortal, he was no longer polite.
"This... I'm not sure, maybe they went back to the army, but... there are too many troops stationed on the border, so I don't know where they went.
Besides, I dare not speculate rashly. It is possible that the two immortal masters may have gone to another place.
However, since you have awakened, I think you will soon be reunited with the two immortal masters."
Shan Yiyuan thought about it and said uncertainly, at the same time, feeling a little strange.
"These immortal masters are omnipotent, and they all carry magical instruments like sound transmission talismans. Why are you asking me about this?"
As the village chief, he has come into contact with more immortal cultivators, so of course he knows a lot about some of the common magic weapons of immortal cultivators.
But when Li Yan heard his words, he felt more and more that something was wrong.
"In the army? At the border? Are we now in a standoff with the demons? Even mortals know about this
No, the border has been divided between humans and demons. How long have I been unconscious? ? "
Li Yan felt as if he was falling into a fog for a moment, his heart was in a trance, but all these thoughts only flashed before his eyes, his face remained expressionless.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Shan. I just recovered and need to recover for a while. After that, if I don't call you, don't come in."
"My Lord, I dare not call you that.
Everything will be arranged by the Immortal Master. Don't worry, this is my courtyard, and no one else in the village will barge in. I will go and tell everyone at home about this."
Shan Yiyuan immediately agreed when he heard this. He knew that once the Immortal Master woke up, he would be able to meditate and refine his Qi on his own to recover from his injuries, and he wouldn't need to worry about it anymore. If this happened in the Desolate Moon Continent, those mortals would definitely want to talk to Li Yan for a while longer, and take the opportunity to see if they could get close to an immortal.
If you can be given some elixirs and magical medicines at that time, it would be a windfall.
But for the people here, they would never think about these things, nor would they dare to think about them.
What kind of people are immortal cultivators? They may be friendly and pleasant one moment, but slaughter your entire family the next. It is better to have less contact with them.
What's more, Dan Yi has already gained the greatest benefit from Li Yan's awakening. He can just take the order and inform the person who comes.
Shan Yiyuan bowed quickly and was about to leave. At this time, Li Yan asked casually.
"The food you gave me when I was unconscious was pretty good. I have to thank you again, Brother Shan."
"Oh, this is a piece of black silver chicken that is treasured in the village. We have done our best to help Master Immortal wake up as soon as possible."
Shan Yiyuan stopped walking towards the door and answered quickly. His words made no attempt to hide the contribution he had made, without any euphemism. This was the character of the demons.
Li Yan nodded with a smile, Shan Yiyuan bowed again, quickly retreated, and closed the door gently.
As soon as Shan Yiyuan left, the smile on Li Yan's face disappeared instantly, and a hint of gloom quickly enveloped him.
The question he asked just now was not a casual one, and the warm current in his body was still continuing.
Li Yan made an inaudible sound.
"Black Silver Chicken? How come I have never heard of this monster?"
Li Yan could be sure that what he ate was a demon beast, not a wild beast, because there was actually some spiritual energy in the food he swallowed.
Although it was very little, the body was nourished by the spiritual energy. Li Yan would definitely not be wrong about this.
This is not something that wild beast meat can possess. Of course, this is not absolute. Some wild beasts, by chance, eat rare treasures, and a trace of spiritual power will be generated in their bodies before they are promoted.
And the most crucial thing is that, in addition to spiritual energy, the body of this so-called "Mysterious Silver Chicken" actually contains extremely rare demonic energy, very little.
If Li Yan was not extremely familiar with his own acupoints and meridians, he would have almost overlooked it.
"There is still demonic energy in the body of a demon beast!"
This is what made Li Yan alert. Just a moment ago, he even suspected that he had been unconscious for decades.
Now the Desolate Moon Continent is divided between humans and demons, so some monsters are tainted with demonic energy.
With endless thoughts in his mind, Li Yan's gaze fell on the pillow beside him, where there was a white jade slip emitting a faint light.
This is exactly the reason why Li Yan sent Shan Yiyuan away. It was obvious that someone had left it for him on purpose.
Li Yan gently picked up the jade slip. As the jade slip got closer and closer to his face, Li Yan smelled a familiar cool breath.
"Zhao Min!"
Zhao Min's stunning face flashed through Li Yan's mind, and several somewhat ambiguous scenes flooded into his mind.
That was the scene of him holding Zhao Min's waist in the abyss of the crack of Yinmo Cliff, in the colorful space, and carrying Zhao Min on his back slowly towards a place of white light.
These scenes flashed by. He was so close to Zhao Min at the time, so he could not forget the aura of Zhao Min, and he remembered it all at once.
Smelling the cool fragrance on the jade slip, Li Yan was dazed for a moment, and then shook off some thoughts.
"Perhaps the answer to the question lies in the jade slip."
But then, he frowned, put the jade slip down again, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
When he was awake just now and saw the blurry figure of Shan Yiyuan coming towards him, he subconsciously used his spiritual sense to investigate, but the sharp pain in his brain almost made him faint again.
He couldn't muster any spiritual power at all now, and even the spiritual power in his purple dantian had been exhausted.
I just held the jade slip in my hand, and as soon as I thought about it, I felt like needles were pricking my brain.
After Li Yan put down the jade slip, he reached under the pillow and two low-level spirit stones appeared in his hand.
Looking at the spirit stone in his hand and then at the tightly closed door, Li Yan's eyes flashed a few times.
After a few breaths and forcibly dispelling some thoughts, Li Yan slowly crossed himself into a cross-legged position, placed the two spirit stones in his palms, with his five hearts facing the sky, and began to slowly practice the martial arts.
When the third day's dawn arrived, in the semi-dark room, Li Yan's eyes slowly opened and closed, and suddenly, a gleam of brilliance flashed across the whole room.
"I have only recovered about 20% of my strength, but it is enough to open the 'Earth Spot' and view the contents of the jade slip."
Li Yan lowered his head and glanced at the two spirit stones that had already turned gray.
After he had cultivated the two spirit stones for more than half an hour, the spiritual energy within them was completely absorbed by Li Yan.
But after that, Li Yan was able to breathe in the spiritual energy in the air on his own.
After Li Yan turned his gaze to the jade slip, the white jade slip automatically floated up, and the next moment it gently stuck to his forehead.
After a moment, the white jade slip fell into Li Yan's palm again, but Li Yan's frown became even tighter.
The jade slip was indeed left by Zhao Min, but she didn't leave too many words, and the simple words were a little difficult for Li Yan to understand.
"Junior brother, the fact that you can read this jade slip must mean that your injuries have healed. I am very relieved.
After being ambushed on the way, the junior fellow fell into a coma and no matter how many treatments he received, his life was in danger.
In desperate situations, you received help from your seniors, and now you are safe and sound, temporarily staying in a village of mortal demons to recuperate.
I have been favored by the senior and have become his disciple. My training is getting more intense and I cannot stay here.
Due to sect rules, I cannot follow you.
When your junior fellow apprentice is well, you can attach a sound transmission jade slip and a mantra from the opening chapter of the sect's Twin Zen Heart, and send it to Baidao Tianbao Pavilion in Mingdu City.
By then, I will know that my fellow apprentice is safe and I will be relieved.
Afterwards, Junior Brother can return to the sect to practice alone, and never forget the kindness of Master in teaching under the night sky on the platform in the back mountain."
