Chapter 2016: Weakness and Strength

But when he saw the girl following him, Li Yan felt helpless. This Sixiangfeng senior sister, after Li Yan dealt with the Sun Guoshu incident, was unwilling to accept the thousand spiritual stones no matter what, even if Li Yan finally She just shook her head silently when she proposed that one person should take half. Li Yan couldn't hold her hand and force it over, so he had to give up for a while and think about what reason to say again. If the other party really didn't accept it, Li Yan wouldn't be polite in the end. .

As soon as this matter was delayed, and with Sun Guoshu slowly inquiring about raw materials for him, Li Yan lost his mind to continue searching in the free market. However, when he walked out, the girl quickly followed him. This made Li Yan Li Yan was stunned and couldn't help but turn around to look at her. The girl he saw had a blushing jade face, and he was immediately at a loss. He whispered, "Li...Li...Junior Brother Li, are you...are you also returning to the sect?" Door, I... I... How about we come together?" At the end of the sentence, it was almost like a mosquito whispering, and Li Yan could hardly hear it.

Li Yan couldn't help but look at the girl a few more times, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't tell that this pretty girl was a powerful foundation-building monk. Instead, she looked like the lady of Biyu from Xiaojia of the Fan family. She was in such trouble. helpless.

When Li Yan saw this, the girl who was just watching became even more embarrassed. She couldn't help but rotate her hands harder and squeeze the puppet that she had been holding in her hand. She thought that Li Yan was unwilling, so she hurriedly said, "Junior brother, I... I have a flying magic weapon. Yes, it’s very fast, you just sit on it, you don’t have to do anything.”

Li Yan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that a powerful foundation-building monk would be so timid by the free market scene just now. He smiled, and he wanted to go back anyway. Besides, this senior sister did seem to be a little too frightened. He looked up at the sky and estimated the time.

Seeing that Li Yan did not answer immediately, he only smiled to himself and looked at the sky again. The girl from Sixiang Peak couldn't help but feel even more anxious. She was really scared after traveling nearly a thousand miles back. She was about to speak again, but Li Yan He looked at her again.

"Of course it's no problem, but it's not the two of us, but four of us, as well as my fifth and seventh senior brothers. It's almost time. Let's go to Ximen to find them and go back together."

After hearing what Li Yan said, the girl couldn't help but feel happy. When she heard that there were two more people, a happy smile appeared on her pretty face. Then the girl hesitated and whispered to Li Yan if she could delay a little longer. Yes, she wanted to buy some materials she needed in the free market, and repeatedly said that it would only take half a stick of incense. This time was also dispensable for Li Yan, so she agreed.

In the following period, the young senior sister was frightened when she saw Li Yan's bargaining skills. She was afraid that Li Yan would offend the stall owner by speaking randomly and be kicked away by others, and she would not be able to buy raw materials. But fortunately, every time The first time she looked at her with almost pleading eyes, Li Yan always stopped lowering the price when the stall owner became impatient. In the end, he actually saved her more than 400 spiritual stones. This young senior sister was even more full of Li Yan. Feeling of admiration.

Flying was not allowed in the city. After the two came out of the free market, they walked all the way to the west gate. On the way, Li Yan also learned the girl's name and the reason why she was familiar with him. ??

The girl's name is Bai Rou. She has been in the sect for fifteen years, and she lives in a place called "Muliumen" nearly 400,000 miles east of here.

A small sect monk. This sect monk is good at the puppet art. His own attack is average, but relying on puppets, he can exert a powerful combat power that surpasses monks of the same level. Since they are only obsessed with the puppet art, they have the highest cultivation level in the sect. The great elder is just a late-stage foundation-building monk. However, thousands of years ago, the "Muliu Sect" was still very powerful. It was once a first-class sect. However, after the mysterious disappearance of the three Jindan elders, It started to plummet, and finally it was transferred to the sect. There were only thirty monks in the sect, and they all studied the art of puppetry in seclusion for many years, which made the sect even more unknown.

Bai Rou is the leader of this generation. She is talented and quick in cultivation. She is especially obsessed with the puppets. Because of this, she delayed her cultivation. Her cultivation was only in the Qi Condensation stage until she was eighteen years old. , and then he was noticed by a Jindan monk who had experienced here in Sixiang Peak. He was amazed by Bai Rou's cultivation talent and puppet mechanism skills, so he brought him back to Sixiang Peak. After Bairou arrived at Sixiang Peak, her formation mechanism improved by leaps and bounds. To put it bluntly, puppets are also composed of small formations and restrictions, and the resources at Sixiang Peak are not comparable to those of Muliumen. Bairou is like a fish in water, but her cultivation level has not been improved until last year. Only then did the foundation building succeed. Not many people knew her in other peaks. She almost never left home. Until today, it was the first time she left the sect alone in the past fifteen years.

Li Yan couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this. There is a reason for the decline of a sect like Bai Rou. No matter how powerful the puppet is, it must be used by people with combat experience. If it is blindly built behind closed doors, the sect will only slowly decline. Bai Rou said that Muliusmen was extremely powerful when the three Jindan elders existed, and they often let their disciples go out for trials. However, later on, the master and the two elders were obsessed with puppets and ignored the sect. The matter of being a disciple finally ended up like this. Speaking of Bai Rou's pretty face, there was a hint of gloom. Li Yan knew that she was thinking of the Shishimen again, so he didn't say a word, but slowly walked forward side by side.

After a while, Bai Rou raised her head and said that she had seen an image of the sect carved into the puppet when she was a child. It was a scene of the former Muliu Sect senior Jin Dan fighting with others. , but with the disappearance of the golden elixir, their sect has become even more low-key, let alone fighting with others. This shows that people who are good at controlling puppets are also extremely powerful. Li Yan also nodded silently after hearing this. The art of puppets is to cultivate immortals. It was a very important branch of the branch. Although he didn't know much about it, he knew how important it was just by looking at its inheritance.

The two of them chatted all the way and unknowingly arrived at the west gate of Fang City. During this journey, Bai Rou gradually became more fluent in speaking, but her voice was still soft, as her name suggests.

Just when Li Yan and Bai Rou were approaching the west gate, two monks dressed in sect costumes were already standing by the road inside the city gate. They were looking in the direction of Li Yan from a distance. However, when Li Yan and Bai Rou looked at each other at the same time, When he appeared in their sight, the fair-skinned and tall young man couldn't help but open his mouth wide, then raised his hand and pointed at Li Yan, seeming to be saying something. Another young man with a lazy face was stunned at first, but then he laughed evilly, and Li Yan also saw the two people from a distance, it was Lin Daqiao and Wen Xinliang. It seemed that he was in the free market because of

The event came too late.

Soon, Li Yan and Bai Rou arrived in front of them. As Bai Rou's cramped jade hands kept rubbing, Lin Daqiao rushed over, pushed Li Yan away, and said, "I "Junior brother, your abilities are really becoming more and more unclear. I haven't seen you for an hour. Where did you find this beautiful junior sister from Sixiang Peak? This junior sister looks familiar. Have we met?"

Li Yan was staggered by him. Hearing Lin Daqiao's words, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. This seventh senior brother still had such a character, he would just talk to himself regardless of the occasion. Bai Rou was startled by Lin Daqiao's move. After hearing what he said clearly, her pink neck turned red immediately, her head dropped to her chest, and she said in an inaudible voice, "See you... see you... …I’ve met two senior brothers, I…my name is Bai…Bai Rou.”

"Bai... Rou, Bai Rou, Bai... Oh, so you are Junior Sister Bai Rou. I know your name, but I have never seen you on the Four Elephants Peak. I heard about your puppet skills. It's amazing..." After hearing this, Lin Daqiao tilted his head and thought for a moment, as if he immediately remembered someone.

His sudden enthusiasm made Bai Rou feel at a loss and she involuntarily shrank behind Li Yan.

Wen Xinliang, who was behind, also looked at Li Yan with bright eyes, then looked at Bai Rou, but did not speak. ??

Li Yan had no choice but to say, "Senior Brother Seven, please don't scare Senior Sister Bairou. This is her first time coming to Fangshi, and she is here alone..."

Next, he briefly talked about Bai Rou's visit to Fangshi, but he didn't mention the matter of Sun Guoshu. Now that Sun Guoshu was working for him, he didn't want to cause trouble because of Sun Guoshu's disrespectful remarks about the Sprite Sect. Senior brother, if the next time he encounters the same fate as the two Hongchanmen women outside the city, he will have wasted his efforts.

He just said that Bai Rou came by herself, and after meeting her fellow disciples, she proposed to go back together, and he agreed.

Hearing that Bai Rou was going to travel with the three of them, Lin Daqiao's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said repeatedly, "Envoy, envoy, I didn't expect that this was the first time for Junior Sister Bai to go on a long trip. If you go alone next time, you can ask me to come with you, Senior Brother." , I usually stay in the mountains, it’s still easy to find.”

After Li Yan explained the origin of the matter, Bai Rou gradually calmed down. She just heard what Li Yan said about the free market and passed it by without mentioning anything about helping her. She felt a little strange in her heart, but she rarely talks. People who are taciturn don't like to speak much, so they won't say much.

Later, when she saw Senior Brother Lin from Xiaozhufeng speaking openly and looking like a straightforward person, her nervousness gradually began to disappear. She raised her head and slowly showed a smile on her face. This smile was really beautiful. Chun Hua, the three of them were stunned when they saw this, which made Bai Rou immediately lower her head shyly, which was particularly pitiful.

Seeing that it was getting late, the four of them stopped delaying and went directly out of the west gate, quickly heading west thirty miles away.

More than an hour later, the mountain gate of the Sprite Sect that reached into the sky was already in sight, and the four of them stood on top of the warm purple butterfly, talking in a low voice.

"Oh? According to what Junior Sister Bai Rou said, my flying magic weapon can fly faster?" Wen Xinliang was a little surprised.

Looking at Bai Rou.

"Sister...Junior sister doesn't dare to lie. Although Senior Brother Wen's flying magic weapon is not a middle-grade one, it is still an elementary-level weapon. Junior sister is not very familiar with this type of weapon refining, but during the flight just now, it was I saw that there are two spiritual stone slots that are in a slightly off-center position. It seems... it seems... it seems that when walking through the formation route, it is obviously detoured, and in the process, spiritual energy will flow out. These two points are at least There should be some shortcomings for this magic weapon." Bai Rou lowered her head and pondered, then raised her head and spoke slowly, but at this time, there was still a slight look of weakness on her face, but her eyes were full of confidence.

"I have long heard that there is a junior sister surnamed Bai in Sixiang Peak. She is a master of mechanisms and formations, but she rarely shows up. I didn't expect that when we met today, junior sister Bai could see the problem just by using Wen's flying magic weapon. This This magic weapon was purchased from a down-and-out late-stage foundation-building monk from the market a few years ago. At that time, the monk once said that although this flying magic weapon was already the top among junior magic weapons, it was only a master of the weapon refinement. When I was refining this object, due to the limitations of my own formation cultivation, I designed two spiritual stone slots several times, but I was not very satisfied with them. In the end, I had to place them in the way I thought was best. Today, they were Junior Sister Bai could tell at a glance that something was wrong. I had asked some senior brothers from Sixiang Peak to see it before. It was possible to re-engrave the entire formation, but they were unsure about modifying two of them, but I didn't want to lose this. The original nature of the magic weapon has been put down." After hearing this, Wen Xinliang couldn't help but nodded and praised.

"I have also heard of Junior Sister Bai. I once wanted to ask Junior Sister Bai to help me burn a set of formations on the weapons. I just asked a few people and none of them were familiar with you. I only heard that you and Senior Sister Wei Feng were friends. Very good, but I am not familiar with her anymore." Lin Daqiao also looked at Bai Rou with hope in his eyes.

Bai Rou still looked extremely confident just now, but after listening to the two people's words, that confidence completely disappeared from her face in an instant. Blushes appeared on her face, and she quickly lowered her head again. Unexpectedly, Li Yan and the others had seen her changing state more than ten times along the way, and they had gradually become accustomed to it.

Li Yan has been listening quietly beside him. He is very unfamiliar with battle techniques, magic weapons, puppets, etc. He has gained a lot of knowledge by listening to the three of them along the way. But after seeing Bai Rou's repeated contrasts, I thought to myself, "This Senior Sister Bai is quite interesting. When talking about anything else, she always looks unconfident and even evasive. She only talks about puppets and formations." When I was on the road, I suddenly felt like a different person.”

After a while, Bai Rou still lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at the three of them. She said softly, "Senior Brother Wen's magic weapon, the two spirit stone tank girls can try to improve it, but they still have to keep it consistent with the original formation. The synchronization of the method and modification without destroying the original formation may take some time, estimated to be about five days. However, except for the refining of puppets and mechanisms, I am not proficient in other types of weapon refining. At that time, senior brother will need to redraw the formation and find someone else."

Wen Xinliang couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He had exactly what he meant, but it was hard to speak directly when they met for the first time. At the same time, he also understood what Bai Rou meant, which was to thank the three of them for taking her back to show their goodwill. .
