Li Yan knew that there were so many powerful people hiding in the dark that he felt so terrified.
In this situation, even if we take a step back, Li Yan could just meet Zhao Min.
If you want to take her away, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
It's just that they don't want to do it themselves and let you leave the "Holy Demon Palace". All they need to do is say a word, and anyone who comes out from below the halfway point of the mountain can beat Li Yan to death.
Not to mention the old monsters hidden in those sects and families, Li Yan saw countless Jindan cultivators in the city alone.
Before Li Yan came, he still held a glimmer of hope. Although he knew how huge the "Holy Demon Palace" was, he still wanted to give it a try, otherwise, he would never give up.
But once he entered the city, he realized that it was just wishful thinking, and all his hopes were extinguished without a trace left.
"Strength, I need strong strength!"
Li Yan clenched his hands tightly in his robe while flying. At this moment, he felt more and more helpless and insignificant. He had to plan his next move carefully.
This trip to the "Holy Demon Palace" was not without gain. He still bought many jade slips about the Lost Continent, as well as several good defensive talismans and three bottles of elixirs.
Li Yan has no shortage of magic weapons. He still has several on him, all of which were obtained in the battle with the demon cultivators in the Desolate Moon Continent. However, those magic weapons are not very suitable for him.
It can only play a supporting role.
The magic of "Guishui Xianmen" is not very applicable to other magic weapons. Although Li Yan saw some magic weapons that looked good in the "Holy Demon City", he did not buy them in the end.
During this trip, Li Yan had a direct understanding of the "Holy Demon Palace". At the same time, he also understood a lot more about the relationship between some races in the Lost Continent.
For example, although they are enemies with the Black Demon Clan, in the entire West, magic crystals can be traded instead of spirit stones. The same low-level magic crystal is worth about four low-level spirit stones.
Moreover, there is often no demand for magic crystals at a high price. This is related to the fact that the White Demon Clan controls the private trading of magic crystals on the surface. Only the Black Demon Clan who have been lost in the eastern part of the continent can obtain these magic crystals.
The demonic energy in the magic crystal is rich and can be used to assist in cultivation. However, if it is used directly for cultivation without any scruples like a spirit stone, the entire West would have become filled with demonic energy and murderous aura.
This situation is not allowed by the White Demon Clan. They stick to the ancient skills. The magic core in their bodies is a gift from God. They can only possess the purest magic energy instead of indiscriminately absorbing the violent magic energy.
In addition, Li Yan saw that the status of human cultivators in the "Holy Demon City" was still very high, and there were many human cultivator families and sects in the city.
Compared with the attitude of the White Demon Clan towards monks of other races, those White Demon Clan monks are obviously more polite when meeting human monks.
For example, when Li Yan reached the halfway point of the "Holy Demon Palace" and was shouted down, a human cultivator immediately warned him secretly not to be reckless again. If it were a low-level cultivator of other races, he might be killed on the spot.
After all, when entering the city, the guards would tell you about the forbidden areas and some rules in the city.
Although the human cultivator did not explain the reason to Li Yan, it can be seen from this that the status of human cultivators is somewhat special.
After Li Yan tried other methods to get information about Zhao Min but to no avail, he no longer wanted to stay in the "Holy Demon City" for long.
Although such a small matter as approaching the "Holy Demon Palace" without permission would definitely not be reported to that Yuanying, it was not a good thing to constantly inquire about the affairs of the "Holy Demon Palace" under someone else's nose.
The Nascent Soul cultivator set up numerous obstacles, and his intention was very clear. He wanted to secretly resolve the connection between Li Yan and Zhao Min.
You tracked down the "Holy Demon City" and kept asking around for information. It might work once or twice, but if you do it more than a few times, you will be targeted.
After all, this is the core holy land of the White Demon Clan. It is absolutely impossible to say that there are no spies or hidden agents in the city.
If the other party knew that Li Yan had tracked him here, it would undoubtedly offend a strong man.
If someone just moves his fingers, Li Yan might not even know how he died.
"It's time to refine my own magical weapon. My current strength is pitifully low, so I have to do everything I can to quickly improve it."
Li Yan kept thinking about the next plan in his mind.
Before meeting Zhao Min, even if I have the ability to return to the Desolate Moon Continent now, I cannot go back.
The refining of "Gui Yi Fen Shui Ci" must be put on the plan. If it weren't for the sudden changes in Fengliang Mountain, Li Yan should have returned to Wuliang and successfully refined it.
At the same time, the process of refining the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix" must begin again.
These two methods of training are the means by which Li Yan can quickly improve his combat power in the shortest time.
However, this so-called "shortest time" is also relative. Often a retreat may last for several years.
At the same time, we must find out how to leave the Lost Continent as soon as possible, and this must be prepared in advance.
Although Li Yan now knew that there was a super teleportation array between the Lost Continent and the Qingqing Continent, he had no idea where it was and what the conditions for the teleportation were.
Only high-level cultivators would know about this kind of thing. Low-level cultivators like him only knew that it existed, and there were no related jade slips or books passed down.
Li Yan knew without asking that the cost of this super teleportation array was a huge and shocking amount, and it was easy to empty the fortune of an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage at once.
At the same time, Li Yan cannot put his hope of returning to the Desolate Moon Continent on this path alone.
What is the situation in Qingqing Continent like? Even if he arrives there, he may not be able to return to Huangyue Continent. At least when he was in Huangyue Continent, he had never heard of any cross-border teleportation array.
The Desolate Moon Continent is like an isolated island. Only after reaching the Nascent Soul stage can one rely on his tyrannical strength to cross the space turbulence and barriers. While flying, Li Yan thought of one plan after another quickly, and then rejected some plans.
Just like that, a plan slowly became clear in his mind. When he slowly turned back, he saw only the "Holy Demon City" that had turned into shadows of mountains.
Li Yan took a deep breath.
"Senior Sister, I will be back! Wait for me!"
For him, Zhao Min joined the White Demon Clan, and seemingly also gained a great chance to become an immortal.
But Li Yan knew very well how stubborn Zhao Min was about family affection. Although her relationship with her master and his wife seemed cold, Zhao Min definitely didn't want to stay here.
… …
"Falling Star Valley" is located 80,000 miles due south of "Holy Demon City" and has a radius of 1,400 miles. It is a well-known second-rate sect of the human race that specializes in alchemy and weapon making.
The sect leader's strength is only at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, but his alchemy skills are superb. He can even make fifth-grade pills. He is a renowned alchemy master.
At the same time, he also had extraordinary attainments in refining equipment. Although he could not yet be included in the ranks of masters, he could easily refine magical weapons for use below the Jindan stage.
However, it is said that the grand elder of the "Falling Star Valley" sect has reached the late Golden Core realm and is only one step away from becoming a false infant. As he has been in seclusion for many years, there is less and less news about him from the outside world.
The "Falling Star Valley" sect has been established for more than 2,600 years. The founder of the sect, "Xuan Xingzi", was a master of refining equipment. After his cultivation reached the early stage of Nascent Soul, he went out to travel around the world and has never returned since then.
His travels also ultimately caused the "Falling Star Valley", which was originally about to be promoted to a first-rate sect due to its successful infant formation, to remain at the level of a second-rate sect.
There are many scattered small sects and families of the human race that rely on the "Falling Star Valley" for cultivation.
At the same time, a large number of mortals built towns. These mortals came from the surrounding immortal cultivation families and small sects, and were even the descendants of some cultivators in the "Falling Star Valley".
Just because cultivators form a Taoist couple does not mean that their offspring will necessarily have spiritual roots.
It just means that the probability of having spiritual roots is a few percentage points higher than that of offspring born between mortals and mortals, or between mortals and immortal cultivators.
Since they had no spiritual roots, these descendants were expelled from their immortal families and sects, and lived the lives of mortals for generation after generation.
Until someone with the talent to cultivate immortality appears again among their descendants, the family will be blessed again.
For this reason, a large number of mortals have gathered and settled around the "Falling Star Valley" for more than 2,600 years.
They are also different from the mortals of the Wild Moon Continent, and they know a lot about immortal cultivators.
After all, their ancestors were all immortal cultivators, and some of their ancestors still remain in the immortal cultivation sects.
Therefore, these mortals all know about spiritual roots. When a baby is born among them, they will go to the nearby sect and spend some spirit stones to test whether the baby has spiritual roots, in the hope that their offspring will be successful one day.
On this day, six young men and women appeared on the mountain road outside "Falling Star Valley".
Several of them were talking and laughing, with excitement on their faces, as they walked along the stone road towards the "Falling Star Valley".
There were six people, four boys and two girls. The youngest was a girl, who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. She had a very childish face and was still a child.
She was looking around with a somewhat awkward look on her face, while listening to the other people around her talking excitedly.
The other five were all between fifteen or sixteen and eighteen or nineteen years old.
Three of the young men kept telling the girl, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, about the rumors they had heard about the "Falling Star Valley", as if they were eager to get in.
Although the girl was not a beauty, she was pretty. Her body, which had been nourished by spiritual energy since childhood, exuded a faint virgin fragrance, which attracted several young men.
"Zhang Ming, I heard that you come from a sect of immortal cultivation far away from here. Have you ever been to the 'Holy Demon City'?"
A young man with a very sturdy appearance suddenly turned to the person behind him and asked.
Along the way, apart from the girl of about twelve or thirteen who was shy and dared not speak, there was the young man named Zhang Ming at the back.
Dressed in coarse cloth, he followed the five people all the way without saying a word, just keeping his head down and walking.
The man named Zhang Ming looked the oldest among the group, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with dark skin and a very ordinary appearance. Thrown into the crowd, he quickly blended in with the others.
Hearing this, Zhang Ming raised his head and smiled gently, revealing two rows of white teeth.
“No, my previous master was only at the foundation-building stage, and the two of them couldn’t even be called a ‘sect’.
This is the farthest trip I have ever taken, and Master brought me here directly. I have never been to any 'Holy Demon City'."
"Oh, I went to the 'Holy Demon City' with my great grandfather two years ago. The immortal cultivators there looked very strange, even terrifying. Some of them had wolf heads and snake bodies, and some had long... "
After hearing this, the sturdy young man showed a smug look on his face and took the opportunity to say what he wanted to say.
He looked at the girl beside him with fiery eyes and started talking. In an instant, he forgot about the young man named Zhang Ming. He was just using the other person as an excuse to show off himself.
The young man in coarse cloth named Zhang Ming was Li Yan's transformed body. It has been nearly a year and a half since he left the "Holy Demon City".
