As soon as Li Yan entered the cave, he activated all the restrictions.
The first thing he did was to sort out some things. Although he had figured out a lot of things along the way, with Xingming and the others by his side, he couldn't think with peace of mind.
First of all, why did the female demon also appear in that virgin cave
Li Yan even thought of something that made his heart beat, that there was a secret cross-border passage in the sub-dongfu that led to the Lost Continent, which would be consistent with the appearance of the female demon general.
If this is the case, then doesn’t it mean that he and Zhao Min also have the opportunity to return directly to the Desolate Moon Continent
Not long after this thought flashed through his mind, Li Yan rejected the idea in his heart.
Not to mention whether there is such a channel, even if there is, this cross-border channel must be extremely dangerous.
It was simply not something that he and Zhao Min could pass through with their current cultivation levels.
Since there is such a passage, why do the Black Demon Clan use the cracks in the Yin Demon Cliff to teleport monks across the border
As soon as the Black Demon Clan learned about such an important place, they sent people to capture it long ago, and they would station strong men here all year round.
Not to mention that a few of them, the little monks, could get close to it, even the White Demons might not be able to discover the existence of that place.
After rejecting this idea, Li Yan thought of another question: Why did the female demon cultivator plant the love poison in him
Li Yan frowned and began to think carefully, reviewing the whole process of meeting Mu Gu Yue in the cave, especially recalling all the reactions of the other party in the few moments before the love poison erupted.
At that time, the female demon cultivator's condition was very abnormal, as if she had just recovered from a serious injury.
"She appeared in that abandoned cave and hid herself with an illusion array. Did she come here to look for treasure, and then was injured by some powerful force, so she had to hide to heal her wounds..."
Li Yan recalled that when he was poisoned and dizzy, he vaguely saw that the female demon cultivator attacked and then the next moment she put her hands on her knees and gasped for breath. The problem was that her condition was not right...
He always felt that the opponent's attack strength was far beyond his judgment of a Nascent Soul cultivator...
There is one more thing. Although he had never had sex with anyone, he knew that the female demon cultivator was a virgin. Generally speaking, there is only one reason for a man to be poisoned by love in such a situation.
That is, the female cultivator practices some kind of dual cultivation or Yin-Yang method, which requires absorbing the pure yang essence of the man in order to achieve the goal of improving her cultivation.
However, he did not notice that his vital energy and blood essence had been drained away to a large extent. During these few days on the road, he had fully recovered.
"Then maybe this woman was poisoned by love in some way, but she didn't know it. Then, when she was chasing me, she kept moving her true energy, and the poison of lust broke out."
Then Li Yan thought of the day when he and the other person had fallen in love again and again, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.
"No wonder there are people who specialize in the art of combining yin and yang!"
He shook his head. That feeling was really addictive.
However, all this was just a momentary lingering for Li Yan. His determination to pursue the Tao was extremely strong, and he did not want to change his technique because of this.
After piecing together some trivial fragments of memory bit by bit, Li Yan roughly determined the situation at that time.
The female demon general must have been poisoned by love accidentally, and she hid herself to force the poison out. It was just my appearance that reminded the other party of what happened on the nameless mountain.
In a state of emotional distress, he attacked himself without fully forcing out the love poison, and then...
After making the judgment, Li Yan felt a little relieved.
However, with his suspicious personality, although he judged that this might be an accident and not a deliberate plot against him by the other party, he was still worried.
Next, Li Yan actually spent a full three hours, just like he did last time to comb out the "Heart-Entangled Twins Gu", using his spiritual sense to comb out his tendons, veins, blood and flesh inch by inch twice.
Then he used his spiritual power to circulate every part, bit by bit, sensing every subtle change and difference in the spiritual power, until he didn't find any problems in the end, and only then did he feel completely relieved.
Li Yan was worried that the female demon cultivator had practiced some evil magic that would plant hidden dangers in his body, which would not only affect his path to immortality, but might also take his life without him knowing it.
After dealing with all this, Li Yan closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for a while.
When he opened his eyes, there was a sect's sound transmission talisman in his hand. He whispered a few words to the talisman and threw it out casually.
The sound transmission note flashed at the entrance of the cave and disappeared outside the door. Li Yan then closed his eyes again, turned his five hearts to the sky, and inhaled and exhaled spiritual energy...
Shuang Chongshan spent more than ten days in the "Falling Star Valley". Except for the first few days when he was a little nervous, as everything passed in peace day by day, his nervous heart finally relaxed slowly.
All of this stems from his years of exile.
Even though he settled down in the market town later, as the head of the family, one mistake could lead to the destruction of the entire family.
Therefore, he never relaxed, and almost every moment he kept his heart tense like a wounded wolf, alert to any disturbance around him.
Now that he had arrived at the "Falling Star Valley", he was unable to adapt for a while.
Zhu Luomu strictly followed Elder Zhang's instructions and arranged for them to live in the core disciple area. He only came over twice after that and did not disturb him too much.
One time, he took Shuang Chongshan and his family to meet some foundation-building monks in the sect, and they became familiar with each other.
The other time was three days ago. After Zhu Luomu came over, he first asked them if they had any other requests for the sect.
Seeing Shuang Chongshan smiling and shaking his head, Zhu Luomu went straight to the point and asked Shuang Chongshan if he could first refine a puppet in the middle stage of foundation building for the sect.
The length of time was decided by Shuang Chongshan himself, and his words were quite polite.
Shuang Chongshan also felt that this was natural. Since he had joined the "Falling Star Valley", they gave him a lot of spirit stones every month.
The spiritual energy here is rich enough, and he is temporarily satisfied with everything.
The matter of refining puppets had been agreed upon long ago. The sect required him to refine a mid-level puppet in about three years and put it in the sect's treasure house. This was the sect's need, and of course all the refining materials were provided by the sect, and two sets of materials would be prepared for each refining.
Zhu Luomu also stated directly that the sect certainly does not want to use up too many spare materials, and all this is just to be prepared.
The materials for refining mid-level puppets are all extremely precious.
Not every sect can produce these materials. Just to prepare two sets of materials, Falling Star Valley will have to use the secret treasures stored by generations.
Apart from this, the sect has no other additional requirements for Shuang Chongshan.
As for whether Shuang Chongshan's family is willing to help if there are other disciples in the sect who need to refine puppets, it is up to them to decide.
How the two parties negotiate and how much remuneration they obtain has nothing to do with the sect.
After thinking about Zhu Luomu's request, Shuang Chongshan only put forward one condition.
“It shouldn’t be a problem to refine an early intermediate puppet in three years, but the higher the level, the lower the success rate and the more materials will be wasted.
Especially if you want to refine a mid-level puppet, it will take at least five years, and the success rate is only 20%. "
The classification of puppets is somewhat different from the classification of cultivators' realms.
Puppets in the Qi Condensation Stage are low-level, while puppets in the Foundation Establishment Stage are mid-level. Mid-level puppets are further divided into three levels: early, middle and late stages.
However, cultivators at the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment stages can only be called low-level cultivators.
The puppets are divided into several levels: high level, heavenly level, holy level, and divine level.
However, in the mortal world, almost no one has ever seen a Heavenly Grade Puppet, which is equivalent to the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
To possess such a puppet would already make one a top-level existence who could dominate the entire world of immortal cultivation.
After all, the old monster Huashen was suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth and did not dare to burst out his true combat power at will.
Shuang Chongshan told Zhu Luomu that it would take at least five years to refine a puppet above the middle stage of foundation building, and the success rate was not very high.
In fact, according to his current ability in refining equipment, he already has about 40% confidence, but he is not willing to refine such a puppet easily.
After years of being cautious, Shuang Chongshan was unwilling to reveal his true strength from the bottom of his heart.
After thinking about it, Zhu Luomu agreed immediately without asking Xing Ming and Li Yan.
A Foundation Establishment puppet is extremely difficult to refine, and he himself is very proficient in refining equipment and knows the problems involved, so of course he won't force it.
Then, Zhu Luomu lowered his requirement to refining a mid-level initial puppet, and Shuang Chongshan immediately agreed.
Then he made a list of materials and asked Zhu Luomu to prepare them.
He had a very good impression of Zhu Luomu, who was gentle and courteous to others without being overbearing.
Moreover, he already knew that the other party was the half-acting sect master, and his master was the sect's Star Moth.
This time, the other party proposed to refine an early intermediate-stage puppet, which was actually a test to see if he had the real ability.
This is considered the minimum threshold for a mid-level puppet. If he cannot even create such a puppet within three years, then his family's status in the sect will plummet.
This is nothing to Shuang Chongshan. In fact, he doesn't need to do it himself. Shuang Lianzhou can complete the refining of this puppet in about two years.
As for the intermediate-stage puppet refining that Zhu Luomu proposed at the beginning, it was just a deliberate attempt to raise the threshold. If Shuang Chongshan agreed, it would be even better, which would only be beyond his expectations.
If you don't agree, he will just demote you to a lower level.
One day, Shuang Chongshan was sitting cross-legged in meditation. Suddenly he opened his eyes and was awakened by the forbidden fluctuations outside the courtyard.
He then immediately walked outside. Since entering the "Falling Star Valley", Shuang Lianzhou plunged into the "Star-Breaking Chamber". Shuang Chongshan was helpless about this.
After all, "Falling Star Valley" has such excellent geomagnetic mineral veins that even he was tempted.
However, his long-term vigilance made him unable to adapt to this sudden peaceful life, so in these few days, he seldom went out. He just quietly observed everything and hardly even practiced normally.
Ming Ling was particularly delighted by the rich spiritual energy in the core disciple area. She closed the door and devoted herself to cultivation.
She had long felt that her cultivation was too low and that she could not help her husband's family at all at the Qi Condensation Stage. Now that she had such a good environment, although she was pregnant, she was still diligent in her cultivation.
For a moment, the courtyard became quiet.
Except for the two times when Zhu Luomu came and took Shuang Chongshan on a tour of the sect and got to know some "brothers" who were in the foundation-building stage, he stayed alone in the room the whole day.
As for going out and interacting with other people in the sect, Shuang Chongshan still doesn't like it. He has long been accustomed to silence and solitude.
Likewise, he was not familiar with the weapon refiners in the "Falling Star Valley". They had only been there for a dozen days, and no one came to disturb him.
When Chongshuangshan stood up and walked out, he already sensed who was coming.
He flicked his sleeves, and a small four-pointed star-shaped token appeared in his hand.
He casually pointed at the token and walked towards the hall on the side, smiling slightly in his heart.
"The sect is really wealthy. In just three days, they have already prepared the materials for refining a mid-level puppet!"
