Chapter 398 Rewards and Training

Liang Yan sat idle in the ruined temple for another half day, and then he harnessed the escaping light and returned to Zhiyuan City.

After he entered the city, he did not go directly to the City Lord's Mansion. Instead, he returned to Jianggu Inn first. After seeing the empty guest room, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart:

"Ah-Dai has been away for seven or eight days, and no information has been sent back yet. I wonder if he has encountered any danger?"

Although he was a little worried about Ah-Dai's safety, after all, there were still two days before the original ten-day appointment, so he didn't worry too much. He turned around and left Jianggu Inn and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

When Ximen Hao saw Liang Yan coming back, he naturally put on a warm welcome. Not only did he order his servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner reception, but he also personally poured wine for Liang Yan to express his gratitude.

Liang Yan also smiled and raised his glass, and after some polite exchanges with Ximen Hao, he brought up the matter of the monkey hair of the Four Seasons Split Flame Monkey.

Upon hearing this, Ximen Hao slapped his hands twice in mid-air, and immediately a disciple at the peak of Qi refining walked in from outside the courtyard, holding a yellow jade box in his hands, and presented it to Liang Yan with a very respectful attitude.

Liang Yan stretched out his hand to take the jade box, and immediately felt a scorching temperature passing through the jade box to his palm. He raised his eyebrows and opened the jade box the next moment.

He saw a bunch of crimson spirit animal hair lying in the jade box. Each of these hairs was as long as an index finger. As soon as the jade box was opened, a scorching fire breath came to his face, as if it was going to burn his eyebrows and beards. Burn out.

Liang Yan glanced briefly and then closed the jade box again. Although he has never seen the Four Seasons Split Flame Monkey, the fur in this box has strong fire energy, which is definitely not something that ordinary spiritual beasts in the Qi Refining Realm can possess. There is no need for the Ximen City Lord to fool himself with this matter.

"Liang, thank you very much, Lord Ximen, for the treasure." Liang Yan smiled slightly and raised his hands towards Ximen Hao.

"Brother Liang, what are you talking about!" Ximen Hao waved his hand and said, "If Brother Liang hadn't acted righteously, my life would have been sealed, and a few monkey hairs wouldn't matter!"

He paused and then said: "In addition, the original rewards of Guanghan, Songhou and others are listed on this bamboo slip. I have ordered my subordinates to transfer these things to Brother Liang's name. I believe it will not take more than two days." Then it can be sent to your house."

Ximen Hao said and handed out a bamboo slip. Liang Yan took it and opened it. He saw the six people on the bamboo slip. Each of them had a reward of two thousand spiritual stones and many resources and treasures.

After a cursory glance, he found that some of the things inside were resources that the sect could use, and some were for personal cultivation needs.

Liang Yan pondered for a while and then said: "Liang accepted the spiritual stones of these six people. As for these resources and treasures, I will leave them to fellow Taoist Jin from the Money Sect."

Ximen Hao smiled and said meaningfully: "The Qianzong Sect is quite powerful, and Jin Yuye is also a rare cultivation wizard. Coupled with his beautiful face and beautiful face, tsk tsk, Brother Liang is indeed a person with great opportunities!"

After hearing this, Liang Yan just smiled noncommittally. He had obtained the Leiyin Xuanhuo Pearl, which was worth far more than the 5,500 spiritual stones Jin Yuye owed him. At that time, he had promised to repay it after he got the sword. At this time, seeing Ximen Hao's misunderstanding, Liang Yan did not want to explain more, stood up, said goodbye to him and left.

In fact, it wasn't that Liang Yan didn't want to stay here longer, but that he kept observing his words and expressions and realized that although Ximen Hao forced a smile on the surface, in fact, his features were full of haggardness.

Thinking about it, it took Ximen Hao fifty or sixty years from preparing the sword-making materials, to asking Bailixuan to help him forge the sword, and to the completion of the sword today. He even refused to condense the sword embryo because of this sword. This shows how much hope he has placed on the "Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword".

Now being surrounded and killed by six people including Shi Guanghan, not only did he fail to sheath the sword, but he also let the flying sword escape. From now on, the sky is huge and the earth is huge, how difficult it is to find the sword again!

Ximen Hao must have been very upset at this time. If Liang Yan hadn't been his savior, he wouldn't be hosting a banquet here now. He would have gone out of the city to look for the sword.

Liang Yan was not an ignorant person. He got what he wanted, so he didn't want to waste Ximen Hao's time here. He said goodbye to him and turned around to leave.

In the following days, Liang Yan almost didn't go anywhere. He spent most of his time at Jianggu Inn, studying the "Jiuding Soul Nourishment Technique" that he had just received.

This method comes from the Jiuding Sect of the Demonic Dao Sect. It is said that the Jiuding Sect was a medium-sized sect in the Wu Kingdom at that time. Although there is no golden elixir power in the sect, there are also more than a dozen monks from the Juyuan Realm sitting in the sect. Its scale is comparable to the Tomb of the Dead. Much bigger.

Of course, Wu Jingwu, the owner of the Tomb of the Dead, later advanced to the golden elixir and even refined it into the emperor's corpse. This is another matter.

"Jiuding Soul Nourishing Technique" is the secret technique of Jiuding Sect, which is equivalent to the core secret of the sect. If Jiuding Sect had not been jointly broken by other medium-sized sects back then, this method might not have fallen into Liang Yan's hands.

Liang Yan read through this secret technique several times, and then sighed softly: "I didn't expect that the Nine Cauldrons Nourishing Spirit Technique, although there was no big bottleneck in the early stage, would have such a big flaw in the later stage."

It turns out that this "Nine Cauldrons" is a cauldron formed in the divine consciousness using the secret technique of the magic sect. Every time a cauldron is formed, the sea of ​​divine consciousness can be expanded by 10%. Among them, the first six tripods can be formed at the peak of foundation construction, but the last three tripods need to be cast at the Yuan Jue realm.

It's okay if it's just the first six cauldrons. As the cultivation level slowly advances, no matter the level of qualifications, you can eventually master it. But the three tripods are different. Each tripod requires the sacrifice of a demon above the Juyuan realm in order to be truly forged.

"I didn't expect that this magic secret technique is so weird. It actually requires the sacrifice of a real demon. Where can I find it?" Liang Yan looked at the ancient book and was speechless for a moment.

In fact, among the four great traditions of the human race, those in the demonic path "learn from the barbarians to gain skills in order to control the barbarians". Naturally, it is indispensable to use the secret skills of the demon leader for his own use. However, Liang Yan's knowledge is shallow and he has never known it before. Now that I see this secret technique, I naturally find it a bit strange.

And not only him, but even the original disciples of the Jiuding Sect also had a headache with this secret technique. Jiudingmen is located in the Five Kingdoms of Nanchui, and the land of Nanchui is not bordered by the demons at all, so where can you catch a demon to practice?

Even among the ancestors of the Jiuding Sect, it is said that only one of them got a demon by chance, so he was lucky enough to form the Seventh Cauldron. According to legend, he also received a gifted magical power. As for the other members of the Jiuding Sect, they can only form the first six tripods.

However, judging from Liang Yan's current level of cultivation, there is no need to worry too much. Anyway, he is only in the early stages of foundation building. Being able to form the first six tripods of the "Nine Cauldrons of Soul Relief" is already a good improvement. Okay, as for the future, let’s think about it later.

With this thought in mind, Liang Yan sat cross-legged again and silently started the exercise according to the instructions.

Liang Yan practiced for a day and a night. At noon the next day, people from the City Lord's Mansion found this place. The visitor respectfully handed a storage bag into his hands.

After Liang Yan opened it, he checked it silently with his spiritual consciousness and found that it was exactly 12,000 spiritual stones. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you Lord Ximen for me."

"Junior must bring it!"

The man bowed respectfully to Liang Yan and then withdrew.

Liang Yan received the spirit stone and was naturally very happy. After thinking for a while, he opened the door and left the inn without continuing to practice.
