Chapter 28: Escape Opportunity

What Master Ji didn't know was that this was a trick played by Dong Fuyi before his divine consciousness collapsed. He deliberately made such a treasure map just to give Li Yan a greater chance of escape. The topography in the map was instilled into him by the divine consciousness that was wandering outside when he was sleeping in the jade book. At that time, Master Ji almost traveled all the ways he had traveled when he was looking for immortals in order to find a way to remove the fire poison. Therefore, the divine consciousness in the jade book naturally knew where he had been, and it was not easy for Dong Fuyi to find such a place in these memories.

However, there are some small details in carving this map. The distance cannot be short, so that he can find the place quickly. When he finds out that it is fake, he can naturally come back quickly; at the same time, the distance cannot be too far. There are extremely powerful monsters and ghosts in the depths of Daqing Mountain. These are not something that a small cultivator like Master Ji can deal with. With Master Ji's mind, he will definitely not go too deep. If he goes, he will only die faster, which will not be worth the loss. Therefore, he has to find a range that he can accept, and then piece together the topography of some other places to make such a plausible map.

In this way, he can extend the time for his search and confirmation, and during this period, Li Yan will have a longer time to escape from this place. However, he was on the verge of a collapse of his mind when communicating with Li Yan at that time. In just about twenty breaths, he hurriedly communicated the necessary things, and finally could only barely use up the last bit of magic power to carve this map. Before he could tell Li Yan, it had already disappeared, but Li Yan did not know about it.

During this noon, Master Ji was thinking about whether this matter was true or not, and whether it was feasible. If it was really the place he judged, it was still quite dangerous. It was hard for him to escape unscathed. Even if he could reach the place safely and find the location of the "Great Poisonous Creature Technique" marked on the map, how could he enter the treasure place? What dangers would there be after entering? All of these were unpredictable. But if he didn't go, he would have only opened the Jade Book after so many years of hard anticipation, and he really got a glimmer of hope in it. If he lost this chance to survive, how could he be willing? In the end, he couldn't think of a foolproof plan until Li Yan arrived at this time.

After Li Yan entered the room and sat cross-legged, Master Ji calmed his mind and smiled, "How do you feel now?"

Li Yan hurriedly replied respectfully, "Teacher Qibing, I feel that my body seems to be much lighter than before, and my six senses are also much sharper than before."

Master Ji was delighted after hearing this, and his face was full of relief. "That's good, that's good, it means that you have successfully entered the first level of the 'Muyin Gong' through your hard work during this period of time. Your hard work is in your eyes. Very good, very good, but you must guard against arrogance and continue to practice like this. In the short time that I will be your teacher, I hope to see you achieve some success with my own eyes. This will not be in vain, and I will not be ashamed of the founder of the sect." At the end, the joy on his face turned lonely.

Li Yan's expression also became a little worried. "Teacher, your body will be fine."

"I will not let you down. I will practice harder. But, but..." Li Yan answered decisively, but hesitated later.

At first, Master Ji was calm, but he couldn't help but frowned and asked, "How is it?"

Li Yan looked at Master Ji, and said with some uncertainty, "It's just that I feel that after advancing to the first level, it's okay if I don't practice. Once I practice, the restless and hot air in my dantian seems to be more intense. It seems that there is something wrong with my practice."

After listening to what Li Yan said, Master Ji's face was calm, and he smiled and said, "I thought it was something, but it was because of this. You just entered the first level, and I haven't had time to tell you. This is not a problem. First, you just entered the first level, and it's not stable yet; second, I told you before that the reason why our martial arts are so domineering is that our internal skills are different from other sects. Now you can't practice that after entering the first level. The 'breath guidance technique' mental method requires the practice of a corresponding level of formulas; third, after entering the first level, the main function of this level is to practice the complete fusion of the medicinal liquid in the meridians, and stabilize and strengthen the foundation. Only when the foundation is stable can the internal force in the dantian be condensed and the meridians be tough. Before you reach the second level, you will always be affected by the residual medicinal liquid in the body, so don't worry, when you practice to the second level of 'wood Yin Gong', everything will be normal. "

After hearing this, Li Yan's face gradually changed from the initial hesitation to firmness. Seeing this, Master Ji Jun nodded with satisfaction, "Master will teach you the first level of practice formulas, you should remember it well." At the moment, he flipped his right hand, and a page of paper appeared on the table, with about a hundred words.

Li Yan bowed slightly to express his gratitude, then picked up the formula on the table and sat down to study it carefully. After a while, he had finished reading it once and looked up at the teacher. Seeing this, Master Ji began to narrate it word by word.

Looking at Li Yan's figure disappearing at the door, Master Ji waved his right hand on the paper on the table, and the paper floated up without wind, and then burned to ashes in the air. He stared at the door blankly. After half a cup of tea, he seemed to have made some kind of decision, and immediately stood up and walked slowly towards the door.

Li Yan didn't know that he had a great chance to escape from here, but unfortunately, Dong Fuyi didn't have time to tell him the means he left, so he missed a great chance to escape.

Time is always too thin, passing through fingers like fine sand and running water. Li Yan practiced hard in the valley every day, and often came out once every two or three days. He couldn't practice fasting at this time, but his physique was very different from that of ordinary people. It's okay to go without food or drink for one or two days. Sometimes he practiced too much, and didn't know how many days had passed until he woke up from the practice.

He came out of practice several times, and gave people the feeling that his personality began to be a little irritable. If he was not satisfied, he would scold him, which made the women who delivered food feel a little anxious all day long. In the end, Chen An and Li Yin had to come to deliver some food, but gradually they found that Li Yan began to have no good face for them, which made them depressed.

The two of them were the confidants of the military advisor. Before going out every time, the military advisor always told them to take good care of Li Yan. If he had any requests, he would try his best to satisfy them. However, Li Yan could not be allowed to leave the military advisor's residence easily. He had to practice hard every day and could not slack off. Otherwise, he would be told the reason.

As Li Yan's temper became worse and worse, Chen An and Li Yin also began to complain privately. However, the military advisor had not returned since he went out more than ten days ago. No one knew what happened. In the past, the adults would go out for half a day or a night at most and then return to the valley. But this time, no one knew why.

But in the following days, Chen An and Li Yin began to feel a little relieved. They didn't know what kind of evil things this gentleman in the back valley had done to make them find pens, ink, paper and inkstones. They often picked up books and poems on the bookshelf in the house and copied the text on them. They wrote for half a day and a whole day, making the floor full of ink and paper. They had to clean up carefully and then put on a smile to ask Li Yan how to deal with these papers, whether to frame them and hang them on the wall, or to pack them in a big box after sorting them out and keep them.

Li Yan impatiently asked them to take these scribbled papers and get out. They had to take them out, but they didn't dare to throw them away, fearing that this gentleman would go crazy one day and remember these ghost-like graffiti and want to collect them. If they couldn't take them out, they would inevitably be scolded again, so they had to find a few big boxes to pack them up.

To be honest, these words were written in a way that was not flattering. Some of them even looked like ghost paintings. It was unknown what poems he copied. Unexpectedly, after a few days, they were surprised to find that Li Yan's temper had gradually calmed down a lot. He was somewhat polite to them, which made the people in the valley confused.

Li Yan was also a little depressed. He had been practicing very hard recently, and occasionally he had to perform. But what surprised him most was that he did not find his teacher in the valley during the two or three times he came out, let alone these performances for him to see. In the past, Master Ji would go out occasionally. It was normal that he could not see him when he was practicing, so he did not take it seriously at first. However, he had come out several times in the past ten days, but he had not seen him once. This made him suddenly realize whether he had missed something. After thinking for a while, he came to the door of the first stone house. There was no sound of Master Ji asking after sensing it before. He felt something was wrong. He walked forward, raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a short pause, there was no response from the house. He hurried to the entrance of the valley and called out loudly to Chen An.

Chen An ran out of the stone house outside the valley with a nervous look on his face. The soldiers behind him looked at Chen An's back with sympathy, thinking, "What happened to this gentleman today? He actually walked out of the valley and shouted directly." They, the soldiers, were not responsible for the affairs of the inner valley. The affairs of the inner valley were basically handled by several women, Chen An, and Li Yin. They were really upset when they saw these people recently.

"Chen An, how come I haven't seen Master in these few times of cultivation? Is he not in the valley recently?" Li Yan stood at the entrance of the valley and looked at Chen An in front of him, and asked casually.

"Master Qi Bing, Master Ji has been out for more than ten days. I don't know if he has something in the city or something else. I am not sure." When Chen An heard that it was this, he immediately let go of his tension and said with a smile on his face.

"What? The teacher has been out for more than ten days?" When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his voice and became angry. This time he was not pretending, he was really anxious.

Seeing Li Yan suddenly change color and look furious, Chen An couldn't help but feel timid in his heart, "Isn't it normal for Master Ji to go out? Besides, you didn't ask?" But he didn't dare to be negligent, and asked carefully, "Sir, do you have something to ask Master Ji? If I can do it, just tell me."

Li Yan was shocked and knew that he was obsessed with it. He quickly turned his face and scolded, "I'm looking for the teacher to solve some problems in cultivation. Can you help me?" After saying that, he also squinted at Chen An with the corner of his eyes.

Chen An's face was bitter and said, "Master, I can't do this?"

"Then why are you asking? Let me ask you, do you know when the teacher will return home?" Li Yan asked.

"This, I really don't know, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe"

"Okay, okay, if you don't know, then you don't know. How can there be today or tomorrow?" Li Yan said, without even looking at Chen An, and turned to walk into the valley.

Chen An stood at the entrance of the valley and sighed. This job was really unlucky. Then he turned around and walked towards the field outside the valley. He was greeted by a burst of chuckles. He looked around and saw that except for Li Yin standing on the open ground and several women standing at the kitchen door with helpless faces, the other soldiers looked at him with ridicule. He couldn't help but annoyed, "You bunch of idlers, why don't you just stand guard and rest? Why are you standing here?"

These soldiers have long disliked the two of them. Why can only the two of them and those women go to the inner valley? Who doesn't want to get closer to the adults? Those women gave up. After all, they were servants who cleaned or cooked. But Chen An and Li Yin could often go to the valley to work with the adults and the young master. This has invisibly opened up a level with their own group. Recently, they have seen that the two of them often suffer, but they are also happy to see this.

The soldiers didn't say anything. They just chuckled, blew a whistle, and went their separate ways, leaving only Chen An and Li Yin standing on the open ground.
