Chapter 193: Steady Mind

Gong Chenying continued, "If you fail to practice in seven days, you must destroy this jade slip immediately. Even after officially practicing the first level, you must destroy this jade slip immediately. Once lost, you and I will be severely punished."

Originally, according to Gong Chenying's intention, she wanted to watch Li Yan practice, depending on his situation. On the one hand, he strictly abide by the ancestral teachings and the exercises were leaked; on the other hand, he wanted to protect Li Yan, but the power of the elixir in her body had been exhausted. Unable to continue suppressing.

Seeing Gong Chenying's solemn expressions over and over again, Li Yan knew that this matter was definitely not a joke. He put the jade slip into his arms carefully and nodded slowly.

When Gong Chenying saw Li Yan nodding, he began to think about how to tell the story between him and Li Yan back to the clan after returning for a while, and how to speak safely.

While she was thinking about it, she stood up and her expression returned to her usual cold demeanor. She didn't even bother to say goodbye and walked directly to the courtyard door. Li Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly and quickly took out the token from his waist and waved it towards the courtyard door. Amid the billowing white mist, a path emerged, and Gong Chenying's figure slowly disappeared at the end of the path until it was gone.

After Gong Chenying left, Li Yan did not immediately practice the "Qiongqi Purgatory" technique. Instead, he went to the handyman's office in front, where he took a large box of food brocade and returned to his Xiaozhu. When passing by the main hall, I didn't go in to see who was there.

After returning to the small courtyard, Li Yan opened the food box, took out five side dishes and a pot of wine, and started drinking in the courtyard. This meal took enough time to finish a stick of incense.

After eating, Li Yan went directly to the house and fell asleep. He wanted to keep himself in an excellent condition both physically and mentally, and only then could he practice. Although he had rested last night, he was too tired from this trip to the secret realm, which consumed a lot of both his mental and physical energy.

He actually slept from morning to the next morning. After waking up, Li Yan felt that his body was so refreshed from the inside out and he was extremely satisfied.

After bathing and changing clothes, Li Yan officially entered the training room.

In the training room, Li Yan calmed down and sat cross-legged. He still did not immediately practice the "Qiongqi Purgatory" technique, but began to consolidate his realm. This time in the secret realm, he gained a lot. From the late seventh level of the Qi Condensation Stage to the early tenth level of the Qi Condensation Stage, my state of mind has become extremely uncoordinated, and I must adjust as soon as possible. After Li Yan took a few deep breaths, there was no sadness or joy on his face. He slowly closed his eyes, and slowly there was black energy lingering outside him. This black energy was much stronger than before, and it actually faintly covered Li Yan's whole body. trend, as Li exhales and inhales, the black air outside the body opens and closes outwards rhythmically.

…………

In the boundless dark space, a huge stone is slowly floating in the turbulent flow of space.

Sitting in front of the falling stone were three people with long hair mopping the floor. At this time, the three of them were looking at a place in front of the huge falling stone with excited expressions on their faces. There seemed to be a horizontal light spreading out there, in this darkness. It stands out in the space.

The faces of the three long-haired people were withered, and their clothes had become strands of cloth. It seemed that they had not been washed for many years, and the original color could no longer be seen clearly. The tops were greasy and black, and the faces under the long hair could not be seen clearly. See clearly.

But through the gaps in their radiance and the trembling looks of their bodies, it was clear that all three of them were excited at this moment. One of them stretched out his skinny fingers. His nails were nearly a foot long. The front end was bent and rolled back, and there was a layer of dirt inside. Layer after layer, he made a dry voice, as if he hadn't spoken for many years, "That should be the place that the man said!"

After he finished speaking, an old voice came from another person's mouth, "I hope they don't break their promises, but can they really get the 'Border Breaking Pearl'? I hope they can, I hope..." The voice gradually deepened.

After a long time, the dry voice from before sounded again, "When I go back this time, I will make the world and the earth flow with blood and achieve our sect's eternal hegemony. It won't be long, it won't be long, maybe five years, maybe ten years..."

There was endless resentment in his voice. As his voice gradually fell, a low chanting sound boomed from behind him, "I have lost my hometown, and the vast countryside; I have lost my body, and the duckweed is desolate; I am flying here." Come, the river of blood is swaying..." His voice was sad, and his meaning was hateful. At a glance, behind the three people, there was a dense mass of monks sitting cross-legged on the fallen stones chanting in unison.

In the roaring wind, turbulence flew wildly. From time to time, small falling stones, carrying the force of thousands of people, crashed onto the light curtain outside the huge falling stones. Dots of light shone on the light mask, reflecting the shadow of the falling stones. The faces of the monks above him flickered, their eyes were like blood, and every time they hit the three people in front of them, their bodies were shaken...

In the secret room, Li Yan opened his eyes and felt the endless spiritual power of the five spiritual power tanks in his body. Every cycle was smooth and smooth, and there was no longer any sense of stagnation as before. The current spiritual power tank It has expanded three times compared to before he entered the secret realm. Each vat is surrounded by dense clouds and mist. This is a precursor to the condensation of gas into liquid. When all the mist turns into liquid, it will be the time when he has successfully established the foundation.

The transformation of spiritual energy from gaseous state to liquid state, and the transformation of emptiness into reality, is the sign of foundation building. At that time, the power of performing immortal magic is comparable to that of Qi Condensation monks.

Li Yan nodded with satisfaction.

A full three months have passed to consolidate my state of mind and understand my state of mind. Unexpectedly, it turned into a retreat.

Li Yan stood up, with some flying dust falling from his body. Li Yan shook it and waved his hand with a "Clear Shower Technique". Suddenly, a white light flashed out of the whole room, and immediately turned into a wet whirlwind. , and rolled away to every corner of the room. After a while, the whirlwind column disappeared without a trace, and a fresh air filled the entire practice room. This technique was exactly what Lin Daqiao used on his first day. Li Yan fell in love with this technique at that time. Although this technique cannot attack, it can be said to be extremely convenient for a monk's life.

However, after the technique was performed, Li Yan was a little stunned. He looked at the tidy room and then at his hands. He was stunned for a moment, but soon, the sound of Li Yan's laughter came from the training room. There is a sense of joy in it.

At this moment, Li Yan was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard. Thinking about the feeling of performing the "Qing Ling Technique" just now, Li Yan's heart was still filled with joy. Just now, when he performed the Immortal Technique, it was just beyond the reach of his thoughts. After the skill is completed, it almost becomes a subconscious action, and it is released casually. This is completely different from the previous time when holding one's breath and concentrating, silently reciting the formula in the heart. This is the result of a great increase in cultivation.

Li Yan sat at the stone table, thinking about the spell casting process just now, and finally determined the reason. First, my magic power is several times stronger than before, and it is now easy to use these basic magic skills. Secondly, my current state of mind and realm are synchronized, my mind is full of energy, and my understanding of magic skills is something I could do before. Comparable.

After thinking about this, Li Yan reached out and patted his waist. The sect's token had flown into his hand. Looking at the flashing red dots on it, Li Yan's consciousness sank directly into it. He had been in seclusion for three months this time. It was an accident, some things were unexpected.

After a while, Li Yan withdrew his consciousness and raised his head. This token contains messages from Zongmen, Li Wuyi and Lin Daqiao. The message from the sect came about within three days of his retreat, asking him to go to Laojun Peak to participate in the secret realm trial reward celebration.

Li Wuyi sent two messages, one urging him to participate in the reward ceremony; the other telling Li Yan that he had explained Li Yan's retreat to the sect elders, and also told Li Yan that his reward could arrive at any time in the future. Elder Peng got it from Elder Peng; Lin Daqiao sent a message asking Li Yan to go to the textile market near the sect. That was because when Li Yan came back, he wanted to exchange the things he didn't need in the secret realm for spiritual stones. , his spiritual stones were not enough at all, not to mention he still owed the sect a lot on credit, but Li Yan knew nothing about the surrounding textile market and trading conditions, so he asked Lin Daqiao to help.

Read Li Yan one by one

After reading the messages for the past few days, I tapped my fingers rhythmically on the stone table. There was no message from Gong Chenying. It seemed that she was still in seclusion and had not participated in the secret realm reward celebration.

Next, Li Yan will continue to practice the "Qiongqi Purgatory" technique, so he still has to make a plan. After a while, Elder Peng took the reward this time, which was three hundred spiritual stones. How many tasks could he complete? In order to earn this, after returning from Laojun Peak, he planned to go to the textile market with Lin Daqiao and sell Miao Zhengyi's hundreds of spiritual swords and magic weapons, as well as other acquired items. , I guess it must have been a fruitful harvest.

The next plan is to start practicing again. If I cannot successfully practice the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique after seven days, I will go to the Collection Pavilion to find a copy of other body refining techniques. I think by then I will have a reward of 300 spiritual stones from the sect. , plus the spirit stones exchanged from the spinning market are probably enough to buy a cheat book.

After he had made up his mind, Li Yan first sent a message to Li Wuyi, telling his senior brother that he knew everything, but would continue to practice in seclusion immediately, so he would not meet in person.

After doing this, Li Yan stepped on the flying sword and flew towards Laojun Peak. What he was flying now was no longer the fusiform boat, a spiritual weapon issued by the sect, but one of Miao Zhengyi's flying swords. , is a mid-level magic weapon, but he is not comfortable in using it. Miao Zhengyi's aura still remains on it. Although Miao Zhengyi is dead, it still takes a process for the aura of a foundation-building master to dissipate. , so Li Yan could only barely control it.

After Li Yan flew for a short period, he was overjoyed. Although there was still a bit of Miao Zhengyi's aura on this flying sword, and it was a bit awkward to control, a magical weapon was a magical weapon, not his spiritual weapon, the fusiform boat. It can be compared, and the speed is at least four or five times that of it. This is still the result of Li Yan's inability to operate as he wished.

"If it can be controlled freely, the flying speed should be eight to ten times that of the fusiform boat. From this point of view, my little flying sword and fusiform boat can be sold, and I can exchange them for more spiritual stones. Miao Zhengyi couldn't keep just one of these flying swords, he kept ten of them just in case. Use it, just..." Li Yan thought while flying with his sword, but after feeling the crazy consumption of spiritual power in his body, he couldn't help but feel helpless. The magic weapon consumed spiritual power too fast, and Miao Zhengyi's flying sword was not It is specially used for flying, so there is no place for inlaid spiritual stones. It is impossible to replace it with spiritual stones. It can only be driven by spiritual power.

"It seems that the fusiform boat can't be sold for the time being. We need to improve our cultivation as soon as possible. Do we also need to find a sword manual to take a look..." Li Yan stepped on the sword and left.
