However, given Zhao Min's identity and status, she should have had the opportunity to pass on the message after such a long time, but there is not even a sound transmission talisman here.
Before Li Yan left, he used a special sound transmission note to tell Zhao Min that he was going back to the sect and told her where he was going.
During the past twenty days, Zhao Min should have at least reported that she was safe, but she didn't.
"Did something unexpected happen?"
Li Yan sat down at the table silently, frowning as he thought about various things that might happen.
Not long after he fell into deep thought, the sound of slight footsteps came from the corridor, waking Li Yan from his thoughts.
Soon, Su Yuan's voice came in.
"I didn't know that Elder Zhang had returned, so I was unable to meet him in time. Please forgive me, Elder!"
The voice was as smooth as ever.
"come in!"
As Li Yan's voice fell, a fat and sturdy man pushed the door and walked in lightly. The sound of his footsteps seemed somewhat out of place with his fat figure.
"Wow, I've gained some weight! Well, my cultivation has improved again, and I'm only one step away from forming a pill!"
As soon as Li Yan saw the other person, he reacted in his heart.
Su Yuan had only not been seen for a few dozen days, and he had gained weight, with a divine light flowing around him.
It's no wonder that Su Yuan is like this. Now that everything is going well for him and he is a wealthy man, he is even more afraid of death.
All the tonic things that were useful for cultivation, whether it was elixirs, monster meat, or even spiritual food containing spiritual energy, were stuffed into his mouth without any reservation, and he ate until his body was fat.
In addition, he also paid more attention to his own practice, and his cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds, and his magic power was abundant.
Li Yan could tell at a glance that Su Yuan's magic power had reached a bottleneck, and it would be very difficult to make any further progress.
Cultivation can only make his magic power more condensed, and his next step will be to form a golden elixir.
But I don’t know when I will find the opportunity to condense the golden elixir. Everything is unknown.
He may suddenly have an epiphany because of a drop of rain falling into his eyes or a word from a passerby, and he may have an epiphany in the next moment, and soon he will face a heavenly calamity.
It is also possible that he will be stuck here forever. No matter how he practices, he will never make any progress in his life and will never be able to form a pill until his death.
That depends on his luck.
After Su Yuan came in, without Li Yan asking him specific questions, he recounted in detail what happened in the "Holy Demon City" after Li Yan left.
Li Yan was quite satisfied with Su Yuan on this point, and it was very worry-free to communicate with Su Yuan.
Su Yuan especially emphasized the news of finding some monks in recent days.
Those people were actually found based on the appearance of Li Yan's "Master" who was used as smoke and some fragmentary clues.
Li Yan also listened "carefully", and asked questions from time to time, and asked Su Yuan to describe the other party's last appearance place one by one.
In this way, even with Su Yuan's tactfulness, he couldn't find any flaws.
After putting aside this "matter that Elder Zhang is most concerned about", Li Yan casually asked about the recent business of the store and the "Holy Demon Palace".
Su Yuan also gave a detailed report and stated that the "Holy Demon Palace" has been conducting strict inspections on monks entering and leaving recently.
Not only are the incoming goods carefully checked, but even their identities are repeatedly verified before they are released.
After listening to this, Li Yan asked a few more questions and had already made some judgments in his mind.
"Based on what Su Yuan revealed, Senior Sister has not been exposed, otherwise she would have already found out and come here.
The Holy Demon Palace is now conducting strict inspections, which means they still believe that the Black Demons may have extended their tentacles into the city, and they must be on guard.
In addition, although more than 20 days have passed, the 'Holy Demon Palace' has not found the "real murderer" no matter how they secretly investigate internally, and they are already very angry.
How could they give up so easily after the death of a Nascent Soul cultivator? Therefore, my feeling when I entered the city before must have been wrong. The other party is still searching in secret, so I must be careful. "
Then, after a look of hesitation on his face, Su Yuan still told some news he had heard from others and made it clear.
"It's hard to tell whether these things are true or false. Elder Zhang, just listen to them. They can only be used as a reference and should not be taken seriously!"
It is said that several attacks broke out in several fortresses on the border between the two tribes and in the territory of the Black Demon Tribe, and many Jindan monks from the Black Demon Tribe died.
Some even said that two Nascent Soul cultivators in the Black Demon Clan were seriously injured, one's body was completely shattered, and one's soul was severely damaged, and there was even a possibility of death.
All these news secretly pointed to the fact that it was the "Holy Demon Palace" that was behind the incident. After Dong Liqing was killed, they were furious and activated some important hidden chess pieces in the Black Demon Clan.
At the same time, they also secretly sent several Nascent Soul cultivators to lurk over, and the two sides cooperated in a plan to attack and kill the other side's strong men.
Moreover, a few days ago at midnight, someone sensed that several monks forcibly flew into the "Holy Demon City".
Although he concealed his aura, the monstrous blood energy on his body was still discovered by some old monsters in the sect.
After these people entered the "Holy Demon City", the "Holy Demon Palace" seemed to be unaware and allowed them to enter the city and disappear.
According to some people's speculation, those people might be the powerful men from the "Holy Demon Palace" who returned from a raid and killing mission.
After hearing this, Li Yan was also shocked.
The speed of the "Holy Demon Palace"'s attack and the ferocity of its revenge were unexpectedly decisive, and they even launched a direct sneak attack on the other party's Nascent Soul cultivator.
Li Yan believed that this news was most likely true.
Moreover, although there is no news on whether the "Holy Demon Palace" suffered any casualties when they attacked the other Nascent Soul cultivators in this way, the fight that broke out between Nascent Soul cultivators, even if it was a sneak attack, was equally sharp and dangerous.
I'm afraid the Holy Demon Palace itself will have to pay a heavy price. "If this is traced back to me, I'm afraid the entire Falling Star Valley will be destroyed!"
Li Yan was thinking in his heart, waves of chills rising from his spine, he even felt his hands and feet starting to go numb.
Li Yan forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart, and after a long time, he finally released the magic power that seemed to be frozen in his body.
Afterwards, Li Yan inquired about some things in the "Holy Demon City" and asked Su Yuan to tell him when he delivered elixirs to the "Holy Demon Palace" next time, and he also wanted to go and pay a visit to the cultivator named Chu.
Then he waved his hand and let Su Yuan leave.
Before leaving, Su Yuan told him one more thing. With the clan leader's approval, he bought a large residential plot three streets away from here and had already arranged everything.
"It has been cleaned up there, Elder Zhang can move in anytime and no longer be disturbed by a bunch of disciples."
Su Yuan bowed and said as he retreated.
Li Yan's eyes flashed a few times, then he raised his hand, took out a bottle of pills from the storage bag, and then threw it towards Su Yuan.
"You did a great job. This is your reward. Take me to see the courtyard tomorrow!"
After grabbing the pill in his hand, Su Yuan was delighted. He knew without opening it that the pill must be extraordinary considering the other party's status as an elder.
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder. I will take my leave now!"
When Su Yuan returned to the room, although he had guessed it, he was still shocked by the elixir in the jade bottle after he opened the cork.
"This... This is a pill that inspires the monks to squeeze out their mana!"
If he was not mistaken, it should be a "Blood Refined Amber Pill".
This pill is a high-grade third-grade pill. With Su Yuan's current wealth, he can already afford a high-grade third-grade pill.
But the power of this pill lies not in its grade, but in its effect.
"Blood Refined Amber Pill" is of no help to cultivation or advancement, but it has a certain effect on temporarily stimulating human magic power.
Once this pill enters the body, it will greatly burn the essence, blood, and flesh, allowing the user's strength to increase by 30% to 40% within half an hour.
This undoubtedly plays a decisive role in helping a person escape in critical moments, and it is not impossible for him to kill the enemy in a desperate situation.
However, this pill has serious side effects. Although it will not reduce the user's lifespan, the meridians will become extremely fragile after half an hour of use.
If you use any more spiritual energy, your body will become a mess. You can only recover slowly by using nourishing pills to keep it warm.
As for the length of recovery time, it depends on the strength of the user's original tendons and veins. Generally, it takes at least a month and at most a year.
So during this period of time, this person is basically a useless person, but compared to a person's life, all this is nothing.
This kind of elixir undoubtedly means that Su Yuan can save another life.
Looking at the red pill in his hand, Su Yuan's fat was trembling. He didn't expect that Elder Zhang would give him such a precious pill just as he said.
He secretly decided in his heart that he must hold on to this thick leg tightly in the future.
On the other side, Li Yan, after sending out the "Blood Refined Amber Pill", immediately fell into deep thought.
He originally got two "Blood Refined Amber Pills", which were originally intended to save lives in critical moments.
But who would have thought that his luck was so incredible that he later obtained the "Rongsun" that all cultivators dream of.
With the "immortal liquid" without side effects, he certainly would not use elixirs like "Blood-Refined Amber Pill" in the war.
Therefore, he had put these two "Blood Refined Amber Pills" aside, and now he saw Su Yuan working so hard.
After thinking about it, Li Yan felt that the "Blood Refined Amber Pill" was of no use to him at all, even to his closest relatives.
If it is a critical moment, when people like Zhao Min, Gong Chenying, and Li Wuyi are running out of mana, Li Yan will definitely give them the "Rongsun" to take.
Instead of letting them swallow the "Blood Refined Amber Pill", he simply took out one and gave it to Su Yuan.
Li Yan was thinking about how to get close to Zhao Min next. The last time he sent the sound transmission note, no matter whether the other party received it or not, there was no news from her.
This means that she either didn't have time to send the sound transmission note, or she simply couldn't send it.
Under such circumstances, Li Yan did not try to send the sound transmission note again, as that might bring unpredictable consequences to Zhao Min and himself.
Therefore, the most urgent thing for him is to go into the "Holy Demon Palace" and personally find out the news so that he can act accordingly.
Just like this, Li Yan spent the night in deep thought.
The next day, he followed Su Yuan out of the shop, turned a few streets, and entered a house.
The house is very elegant, with cool breezes blowing in the courtyard and several towering trees casting thick green shade. There are six houses in the back, which are equipped with training rooms, alchemy rooms, and breeding rooms.
Su Yuan told him that this was originally the residence of a Jindan cultivator, but he had to sell it because the man urgently needed a large amount of spirit stones to upgrade his natal magic weapon.
He had been looking for a suitable courtyard for a long time, and he approached the other party as soon as possible. After some bargaining, both parties completed the transaction with a satisfactory attitude.
After walking around, Li Yan was quite satisfied with this courtyard! !
In the following days, Li Yan never left the house except for a trip to the "Holy Demon Palace".
During that trip, Li Yan entered the "Holy Demon Palace" and had a chat with the cultivator named Chu, and also got some information.
For example, now all foreign monks can only move within the outer palace;
Every time a monk in the palace goes out, a register is kept;
Even their external sound transmission notes may be under surveillance, etc.
The cultivator surnamed Chu cursed with great resentment those of his fellow tribesmen who secretly colluded with the Black Demon Clan, hoping that these "traitors" could be found as soon as possible and torn into pieces.
