Chapter 2184: The Fragrance of the Blue Sky
Liang Yan returned to his cave and saw a skinny, long-haired man with a sinister aura sitting at the table.
"Come back?" Liang Yan glanced at him and said calmly: "Did you gain anything from this trip?"
"Xuanji Island is far more complicated than I imagined." Ni Jiayue said in a deep voice.
"oh?"
Liang Yan smiled slightly, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of spiritual tea for each of them, then sat down and took a sip of tea.
"Tell me, what is it about this island that makes it so difficult for you to live there?"
"Ancient prohibition!"
Ni Jiayue narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled: "I searched for several days, but could not find the location of the Sutra Pavilion, because there is an area on the island covered by ancient restrictions that cannot be broken by ordinary means. And this restriction It’s very strange, it seems to imply both Taoism and Confucianism, I have never seen it before!”
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "There is actually a restriction in this world that combines Taoism and Confucianism?"
Ni Jiayue nodded slowly: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it..."
After finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment and then said: "In addition to this ancient restriction, there are two masters on the island, both of whom are not weak. One of them should be the island owner, and his strength is probably as good as mine!"
"Is it that strong?"
Liang Yan was really surprised.
You must know that Ni Jiayue was once in the realm of a saint. After reshaping his body, although he did not return to his previous cultivation, his methods should be invincible to a saint.
Even the top sub-sages like Dan Yangsheng and Ning Bugui are still slightly inferior to him.
"I'm not talking nonsense. If you see this person, you will definitely come to the same conclusion as me." Ni Jiayue said with a serious face.
"Well..." Liang Yan nodded slightly.
He still trusts Ni Jiayue's judgment. After all, he was a saint in the past, and his vision alone should be far beyond his own.
"It seems that Dongyun Lingzhou is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger..." Liang Yan murmured to himself.
The two were silent for a moment, and Ni Jiayue added: "Actually, it is not impossible to break the ancient prohibition, but it will take more time. I almost succeeded once, but unfortunately the island owner suddenly arrived and seemed to have something to do. induction……"
After saying that, he drank the spiritual tea in the cup.
Liang Yan's face condensed slightly and he asked, "Didn't he notice you at that time?"
"No."
Ni Jiayue shook his head: "I am always cautious in doing things. I left a mark outside the formation in advance. When the island owner arrived, I immediately teleported away using my secret technique without leaving any traces."
"That's good." Liang Yan had a look of satisfaction on his face.
This is also what he admires about Ni Jiayue. When it comes to the word "cautious", this person is as good as himself.
After pondering for a moment, Liang Yan asked again: "Have you carefully inspected the other places on Xuanji Island?"
"I checked and found no place where they hide the books." Ni Jiayue replied with certainty.
"If that's the case... the Sutra Pavilion is very likely to be in that restricted area?"
"Nine times out of ten! How important is the Sutra Pavilion? It must be in the most heavily defended place."
"Um……"
Liang Yan knocked on the table and thought secretly in his heart.
After a while, he slowly said: "I'm afraid this Mysterious Island has a great origin, and I don't know if there are saints behind it. We can't act too openly. It's best to handle things in secret."
Ni Jiayue showed a troubled look: "But... it is difficult for us to sneak into the barrier without being discovered by the island owner."
Liang Yan nodded: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. After all, we are not familiar with the place where we live. We must have enough information before making a decision..."
Having said this, he paused and smiled: "By the way, I bought a pill from this exchange meeting, which can help you solve your current dilemma."
"oh?"
Ni Jiayue's heart moved and he asked: "What kind of elixir?"
Liang Yan smiled slightly and took out a purple elixir from the storage ring.
"Well, this is called the 'Qiankun Body Shaping Pill'. It can not only help monks reshape their physical bodies, but also make the soul and the physical body more consistent."
After hearing this, Ni Jia's expression did not change much, but he was actually a little surprised.
His soul has been separated from the physical body for hundreds of thousands of years. Even if Liang Yan spent a lot of money to help him reshape his body, it would be difficult for him to perfectly fit with his soul.
The conflict between the physical body and the soul occurs every six months, and each time lasts for several months!
In the past hundred years, unbearable pain has been tormenting Ni Jiayue, making the devil's mind gradually go crazy...
If Liang Yan hadn't suppressed his aura, he would have lost his mind long ago and turned into a walking zombie who only knows about killing!
Of course, Ni Jiayue himself didn’t want to fall, so he kept fighting.
He didn't know until today that there was a pill in Dongyun Lingzhou that could solve his problem!
"Dongyun Lingzhou is indeed a vast land and rich in resources! In comparison, the history of the cultivation world in Antarctic Immortal Continent is too short, and its profound foundation is probably far inferior to that of Dongyun Lingzhou." Ni Jiayue said with emotion.
"Maybe."
Liang Yan handed the elixir to Ni Jiayue without comment.
"Thank you!"
Ni Jiayue took the elixir and thanked him sincerely.
The next moment, he swallowed the elixir into his belly and concentrated on it for a long time.
"Sure enough, it has an effect...but it is not immediate. It requires continuous refining with mana." Ni Jiayue said thoughtfully.
"It's okay. Tell me all the information you have collected in the past few days. You don't need to do anything next." Liang Yan said lightly.
After listening, Ni Jiayue immediately told Liang Yan all the information he had.
After that, he asked again: "... What are you going to do next?"
"The situation is unclear now. It just so happens that I met a Taoist monk today. This person has a strong cultivation and a high status. Maybe I can get some information from him."
"That's good." Ni Jiayue nodded.
"Come back. I will summon you when I need you."
"Okay."
Ni Jiayue didn't say much. He turned around and turned into a black shadow again, gradually merging into Liang Yan's shadow...
...
Time passed in a flash, and it was three days later in a blink of an eye.
Outside a cave on Xuanji Island, a light of escape came from far away and flew through the air.
In a moment, the light of escape landed at the door, revealing a handsome man in a black robe.
As if sensing his arrival, the cave door opened automatically.
Then, a young man in white Taoist robes and long hair tied up high strode out of the cave.
"Hahaha!"
The man in Taoist robes smiled and looked very happy: "I have been living here for the past few days, looking forward to your coming day and night. Today I finally see you again, and I am very happy!"
Seeing this man so enthusiastic, Liang Yan also smiled slightly: "Daoyou Biyou is a Taoist disciple. It is my honor to be able to taste wine and discuss Taoism with you. How could I break the appointment?"
The two exchanged polite words, Shen Biyou took Liang Yan's hand, and the two walked in side by side.
Although this cave is large, the furnishings are simple, with only two cushions and a square stone table. There is a Bagua map hanging on the wall, and there is an incense burner below, with curling green smoke floating in the air...
"Daoyou, please sit down."
Shen Biyou brought Liang Yan to the stone table, and the two sat on a cushion each.
He waved his sleeves again, and two moonlit wine glasses and a pot of spiritual wine appeared on the table.
"This wine is called 'Bi Luo Ning Xiang'. I spent a lot of money to get such a small pot. Drinking with you today is really a pleasure in my life!"
Liang Yan sniffed it and smiled, "It is indeed a good wine! Since Taoist friends sincerely invite you, I will not refuse it."
After saying that, he pointed his hand, and the jade pot flew up, filling the two wine glasses with fine wine.
"Please!"
"Please!"
The two drank a cup at the same time, and Liang Yan only felt a condensed and lingering fragrance sinking into his stomach, followed by a warm feeling, and his limbs were warm and comfortable!
"It's rare, Liu hasn't drunk such fine wine for many years." Liang Yan praised sincerely.
"That's nothing..."
Shen Biyou filled their glasses again and said with a smile: "Shen likes wine. I have exchanged several secret recipes for winemaking over the years. Although 'Biluo Ningxiang' tastes good, it can only rank third in my opinion. After the Dan Tasting Conference is over, I will take fellow Taoists to explore the joy of wine together."
"Then we are drinking buddies?"
"Haha, that's right! That's right!"
Liang Yan and Shen Biyou smiled at each other and clinked glasses again.
After three rounds of wine, the two gradually became familiar with each other and began to talk about everything.
They started with some interesting stories about Dongyun Lingzhou, and later talked about various insights in cultivation...
Shen Biyou is a senior disciple of the Dao League. What he has learned and heard are all superior techniques that have been passed down for a long time. It can be said that every sentence is a pearl, and it is in line with the Tao.
But to his surprise, although Liu Xundao is a casual cultivator and has learned a variety of things, his understanding of the Tao is a different way, and it is actually comparable to his own!
Especially some seemingly ordinary insights, just a few sentences, contain mysteries, and can only be discovered after careful tasting.
In the end, Shen Biyou actually had a heart of admiration for talent, and couldn't help asking: "Forgive me for saying a few more words, I see that fellow Taoist is well-spoken, I wonder which teacher you are worshipping?"
Liang Yan laughed at himself and said: "Liu is just a casual cultivator of the first level, and what he has learned and understood is all patchwork, and he has no chance to learn from a master."
After hearing this, Shen Biyou showed a thoughtful look, and after a moment, he said: "I see fellow Taoist breathing, it seems that there is a Taoist secret skill? I wonder where did you learn it from?"
After these words came out, although Liang Yan's face did not change, his heart was "smashed".
The "Taoist secret skill" mentioned by the other party is of course one of the foundation methods of his cultivation: "Daojian Jing"!
Liang Yan's learning is mixed, and his spiritual power is not according to a specific method when he usually operates, especially after achieving the Chaos Sword Heart, the mana in his body is even more chaotic and difficult to distinguish.
I didn't expect that Shen Biyou could actually capture the traces of the Dao Sword Scripture through his breathing... Liang Yan's heart was a little alert, but his face did not change. He asked with a smile: "Strange, how did you see it?" Shen Biyou smiled slightly: "To be honest, I have a special physique, I was born close to the Dao, and I am very sensitive to the breath of the Dao. Brother Liu has practiced the Daoist exercises, I can tell at a glance." Liang Yan was a little surprised after hearing: "This is a secret, Daoist shouldn't tell me easily?" Shen Biyou smiled: "Daoist and I hit it off at first sight. Since Daoist asked, how could I hide it?" "This..." Liang Yan was speechless for a while. He didn't know whether to believe or doubt. The man in front of him gave him a very unique feeling, different from most of the cultivators he had met before. But he couldn't tell exactly where it was different... After a while, Liang Yan smiled and said: "Brother Shen is honest, and I am ashamed of myself. Come, this glass of wine is for Brother Shen."
"Excellent."
The two raised their glasses at the same time and drank against each other again.
After some conversation, the relationship between the two gradually became closer. Liang Yan felt that the time had come and gradually turned to the topic.
"Since Brother Shen is so honest, I might as well tell him frankly... I have been practicing in the mountains before, and then I accidentally entered a secret realm, where I got a great opportunity, and my cultivation improved by leaps and bounds..."
When Liang Yan said this, he paused slightly and said with a smile: "Although Liu has entered the transformation tribulation, he has not traveled to many places before, so he does not understand many things in Dongyun Lingzhou. Brother Taoist is a senior member of the Taoist League. "Sure, can you help me clear up my doubts?"
"Of course." Shen Biyou agreed happily.
"This is my first time coming to Xuanji Island. I heard that the owner of the island is Baixiao layman. Have you ever seen this person before?"
"I've seen it many times."
Shen Biyou smiled and said: "This Baixiao layman is a strange person. He doesn't know what chance he has, but he can cultivate the power of two laws at the same time, namely the Puppet Law and the Yuan Magnetic Law. Moreover, his magic power is deep, even Shen In front of him, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand a hundred moves..."
"Two kinds of rules for fellow practitioners?" Liang Yan's face slightly condensed.
This is indeed somewhat rare...
When we were in the Antarctic Immortal Continent, there were only two people in the entire continent who could do it. They were Li Yuxian, who possessed the Taoist Foundation of Ten Thousand Tribulations, and Qingyun Demon Lord, who possessed the Taotie Demon Body.
Later, the Taotie demon body was transferred to Liang Yan, and this solved the problem of integrating the laws of swordsmanship.
Unexpectedly, the owner of Xuanji Island could actually cultivate the power of two laws at the same time!
"No wonder even Ni Jiayue is afraid of him. It seems that this person is weird..." Liang Yan thought secretly in his heart.
Just as he was thinking, Shen Biyou added: "Practice Baixiao is not only very powerful, but also proficient in all kinds of difficult problems. He is well-known in Dongyun Lingzhou. There are many monks who have practiced special skills and encountered problems. I would go to the island for help every time, and as long as I could pay the appropriate reward, I would almost always come home satisfied.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes flashed, and then he said with a smile: "It seems that the owner of Xuanji Island is worthy of the word 'Baixiao'. He is indeed knowledgeable! In fact, I also encountered a problem, so I can take this opportunity. Ask the island owner."
"It's possible, it's possible...but this Baixiao layman is not that easy to see. If you want to find him to answer your questions, I'm afraid you have to wait until the Pindan Conference is over." Shen Biyou said thoughtfully.
Liang Yan's heart moved, and he immediately asked: "I wonder what the content of this elixir conference is? How can layman Baixiao test whether everyone has the appearance of becoming a saint?"
