Chapter 2076 Linshui City
Linshui City, eight thousand miles away from Xuanqing Temple, is a city built by rogue cultivators. It was first built by some rogue cultivators as a temporary base to facilitate the exchange of acquired items. As its popularity grew, some powerful rogue cultivators gradually Xiu united together and formed an alliance called "Piao Ling". They began to gradually build this place into a city, and the alliance headquarters was also located in the city. They were unrestrained, but when encountering problems, the alliance members would unite in the city. Together, once they are exposed to the outside world, many casual cultivators come here to join them one after another. However, not everyone in the "Wandering" alliance can be accepted. For example, not everyone is included in the notorious people and those hunted by the four major sects. Although they will be allowed to enter, they are still very cautious about the four major sects, otherwise they will not be able to develop and grow.
Linshui City is quite large, with a radius of about thirty miles. There are also merchants in the city, and there are even some sects and families setting up residences here, so there are always people coming and going every day, and it is very lively. In view of this, Xuanqing Guanze also spent a huge amount of money to purchase a piece of land in the city and established a teleportation array to facilitate the monks here to travel between cities.
Li Yan only felt dizzy and dizzy. After what seemed like a long time and space, and what seemed like just a breath, the white halo in front of his eyes gradually dissipated, and his body returned to normal.
Li Yan had experienced this feeling several times a few months ago, and some of them were even worse than this dizziness. Even with his cultivation, it would take a long time to recover after the teleportation was completed.
A soft light appeared in front of Li Yan's eyes. This was an empty room. At this moment, soft night pearls were emitting light on the walls of the room. Li Yan looked around and saw that the white light of the teleportation array had just dispersed. When they left, two figures jumped out from the teleportation array and disappeared at the door in front of them in the blink of an eye. They were the young man in purple shirt and the old man with a hunchback, as if they were in a hurry.
And at the moment when the purple-robed young man's back disappeared, a sneer passed into Li Yan's ears, but the two men in black robes also walked out of the teleportation array and walked toward the door in a hurry, and one of them said: A cold laugh.
These four people disappeared outside the door one after another without even looking at Li Yan.
Li Yan saw something happening in Xuanqing Temple. The two groups of people seemed to be chasing each other, but he didn't care about other people's affairs.
After looking around the room, there was only one teleportation array, and standing on one side of the door was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Xuanqing Temple robe. He was looking at Li Yan with a smile on his face, as if he was worried about the four people just now. The sight of people not even looking at him seemed like they didn't take it to heart at all.
When the middle-aged Taoist priest saw Li Yan coming, he smiled slightly at Li Yan and said, "Fellow Taoist, if you need another transmission, please come back tomorrow. The formation needs to be maintained today. Please forgive me."
When Li Yan heard this, he understood Xuan Qing's
What Guan meant was that he wanted to wait for the Jindan monk to return tonight, so he stopped all teleportation. However, according to what Gong Taoist said before, even if the teleportation array is opened again tomorrow, Xuanqing Guan will still have to focus on interrogation. The person who left is gone.
Li Yan smiled in return and walked out the door. When he walked out of the room, he discovered that there was a courtyard outside the room, as if he was in a room in the backyard. After passing through the absent courtyard, the house in front It is a temporary shop. There are people bustling outside the shop, making it a lively scene.
Li Yan had already inquired about the situation in Linshui City before he came, and today he got a more detailed introduction from Gong Dao. He knew that there was a market here, so he wanted to go and take a look, maybe he could meet someone there. Get what you need.
A few hours later, Li Yan appeared at the main gate of Linshui City. He walked towards the city gate expressionlessly, but secretly sighed in his heart. The materials for refining Gui Yi Fen Shui Thorn were not that easy to find. It was not him. He could encounter it casually as soon as he went out, but he also got news about another main ingredient. Just a few years ago, "bitter-free powder" appeared and was later bought by a middle-aged woman.
Although the news came very late, it ignited hope in Li Yan's heart. It seemed that except for the "Infinite Travel" tree, which was very difficult to find, the other four types could also be seen.
Li Yan thought as he followed the flow of people out of Linshui City. He planned to fly north for a day and then find the next teleportation formation sect, which was still under the jurisdiction of the Demon Sect.
Linshui City, hence its name, is based on water and water is adjacent to the city. The city is surrounded by rivers on three sides. The three rivers meander into the dense jungle outside the city. There are countless swamps and small rivers in the jungle.
After coming out of the city, Li Yan checked the direction and looked at the lush jungle under the sunset outside the city. Li Yan ducked and disappeared.
Li Yanfei was in the sky, with the rolling forest at his feet. After leaving Linshui City, there was a lot of light passing by in the sky at first. As he moved away from the city, the world seemed to become wider. Even if there were occasional monks flying, They also avoided each other at a distance. Li Yan still maintained his cultivation level in the Qi Condensation Stage and stepped on a flying sword with his feet. Although the flying speed was not weak, it was still faster than flying with his true strength. Much slower. Li Yan felt depressed and considered waiting until Zai Li walked ten thousand miles before returning to the initial stage of foundation building.
During the flight just now, several groups of monks saw that Li Yan was alone, and there were only Qi Condensation stage monks, and they all seemed to be approaching. However, this place was still relatively close to Linshui City, and Li Yan deliberately showed an arrogant expression. Appearance, give in
After those few auras swept over Li Yan's body, he hesitated a little, apparently thinking that Li Yan was a descendant of a nearby sect or a powerful monk in the city, and finally gave up. Such people often have life-saving things on their bodies. , and as soon as you make a move, the message will be sent back, and someone will come soon.
Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but ponder in his mind while flying, "It seems that the previous plan will no longer work. Then every time he approaches the teleportation point, he will turn into a Qi Condensation Stage monk and use the identity of the Blood Leaf Sect." , when walking daily, just change the appearance and return to the foundation, this will save you trouble. "
In this way, under his caution, he let go of his powerful spiritual consciousness, tried his best to avoid the crowd of monks, and flew forward for several hours. Li Yan, who was flying, suddenly changed his expression, and then turned his head to look far away. Go, there are spiritual energy fluctuations there. It's obvious that someone is fighting there. Li Yan doesn't want to cause trouble, but he can't fly over here so arrogantly. So he stepped on the flying sword and fell into it. In the jungle below.
After falling into the jungle, Li Yan spread out his body and started to fly through the jungle. But after he flew forward for dozens of miles, he suddenly stopped, and then the aura on his body quickly converged. After a while, he even lost his body. It also turned into a very light smoke, floating in the forest, vaguely blending with the faint mist of the streams in the forest. It is exactly the "sneaking and hiding at night" in the Guishui Sutra. This is Li Yan has practiced the magic to the first level, and can already borrow objects and turn them into objects. However, if you look closely at the form, you can still see some clues. However, the sky is already dark at this time, making him almost integrated with the surrounding environment. If you get to the second level, even this faint trace of smoke will be more similar. At that time, it will be difficult for anyone at the same level of foundation-building stage monks to detect his existence.
Just now, while Li Yan was flying, he suddenly sensed a somewhat familiar aura in his consciousness. It was just that this person shouldn't be here. And that person seemed to have sensed something strange in the forest, and actually circled around. Fly towards him.
A few breaths after Li Yan turned into smoke, a sound of breaking through the air came from the distance. In an instant, a vague figure appeared in the sky above the jungle where Li Yan was. As the figure stopped, the person's face gradually became clearer. This person was A Confucian scholar wearing a moonlight white robe stood in the air, his consciousness instantly released. After scanning around, he couldn't help but frown slightly, "Maybe I sensed it wrong. Could it be that it was a small spiritual beast in the stream just now?" , that’s why there is a slight fluctuation in spiritual power. I have been looking for it all the way. According to the Taoist priest guarding the Xuanqing Temple teleportation array in the city, those people just arrived here this morning, and they must not be far away. I wonder if they are there? " The Confucian scholar seemed to be whispering, then raised his head and looked at the place where Li Yan sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations. After he glanced around here again, the folding fan in his hand was half-opened.
With a tap of his palm, it turned into a white light and shot away. However, as he folded the fan half-open, a strong smell of blood was left in this place.
Just a dozen breaths after the Confucian scholar left, Li Yan's figure slowly appeared from the smoke on the stream. He looked at the direction where the Confucian scholar disappeared and narrowed his eyes, "It turned out to be the monk surnamed Lin with the bloody flying sickle. He Didn't he teleport eastward yesterday? Why are he here again? From what he said just now, it seems that he is following some of us. Could it be that he is also related to that mysterious force, just like Qin Chengyi? "
Thinking of this, Li Yan stood there and thought deeply. After a moment, he made a decision, "If there are clues about the mysterious force here, it can also be passed back to the sect. The direction of the bloody sickle is the spiritual power just now." In the fluctuating place, most of the foundation-building monks were fighting there during the previous detection, but I can follow them. If I see that the situation is not good, I need to escape immediately. "
After making the decision, Li Yan became even more cautious. He simply launched the "sneaking and hiding at night" technique in the forest, turning into a light smoke and traveling through the forest at high speed. The speed was not much slower than flying, but this However, using it normally consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
After half a cup of tea, Li Yan came to a place dozens of miles away. From a distance, he saw the bloody-handed flying sickle Confucian scholar surnamed Lin hiding in a big tree, staring at him unblinkingly. In a clearing in the forest.
After Li Yan looked over, he couldn't help but be stunned. Since he didn't want to alert the monks fighting here, he just glanced at it with his spiritual consciousness and left. Now that he was following the Confucian scholar named Lin at close range, he even restrained his aura. The consciousness did not release with all its strength, but only observed with eyesight. At this time, four people were fighting together in the clearing in the forest. Li Yan actually knew all four of them. They were the two young men in purple shirts and the two men in black robes who teleported here with him.
The young man in purple shirt was holding a white jade bottle about one foot high and stood behind the hunchbacked old man with a nervous look on his face. The hunchbacked old man was fighting two black-robed monks one against two.
At this moment, the hunchbacked old man still looked dull. His body was upright, the look of age on his face was gone, and his eyes were shining brightly. He was able to do it one-on-one without losing the slightest bit. At such a distance, Li Yan It can already be felt that the cultivation of the hunchbacked old man should be at the peak of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen, or even higher. He may also have half a foot in the realm of fake elixirs.
The cultivation base of the two black-robed men was both in the late stage of foundation building. For a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation building, it would be easy to defeat the enemy, let alone one against two, even one against ten. However, the two black-robed men were obviously proficient in the art of joint attack. Their attack and defense were connected, and the hunchbacked old man had to take care of the purple-robed young man behind him. For a while, they fought the black-robed old man to a draw with their strength.
