Chapter 67: Li Yan's Strangeness

Behind the courtyard where Li Yan lived, there was a path winding to the unknown mountain peak. The path was not wide, and could only accommodate two people side by side. It was paved with small stones. On both sides of the path, there were still swaying black bamboos. This small bamboo peak was a sea of ​​black bamboos, everywhere.

The black bamboos on both sides of the path were not as thick as the ones on the hillside in front and near the courtyard where Li Yan lived. Each one was only as thick as a finger and more than one person tall, like tender bamboo and willows. The breeze blew through the branches and rustled them. This was already halfway up the mountainside of the towering small bamboo peak. From time to time, a few white clouds would slowly float out from these thin bamboo forests, and then float away in the next moment.

As Li Yan walked on the path, those floating white clouds occasionally brushed against his waist and head, and then disappeared into the thin bamboo forest on the other side of the path, as if walking in the clouds.

Li Yan was thinking about the problem while walking. He would come here every few days recently. The place he was going to was about 20 miles away from the Mozhu Courtyard where he lived towards the top of the mountain. There was a platform there, which was a good place for him to practice some time ago.

Time went back to more than half a year ago. When Li Yan first started practicing, both the skills and the immortal arts were progressing normally, but after he practiced for ten days, a series of things happened that he could not understand, or even said to be weird.

First, the spiritual power improvement slowed down when practicing the skills, and it often took a few days for him to make a little progress. At first, he thought this was a normal phenomenon. After all, Lin Daqiao also told him that it was impossible to go smoothly during the practice, and it was common to encounter bottlenecks. However, for a period of time, no matter how hard he tried, the spiritual power growth was as slow as a turtle. Sometimes it did not move for several days. If he stopped practicing, his spiritual power even had a downward trend. This shocked him greatly, and he realized that there might be a problem.

Li Yan initially thought that there was something wrong with the technique, and hurriedly entered the sea of ​​consciousness. However, no matter how he searched for the formula of the Guishui Sutra word by word, he did not find any problem in the end. He checked for several days but to no avail.

Similarly, during this period, there were also some strange things happening in the cultivation of immortal arts. The "Cloud and Rain Technique" that he could summon with difficulty began to work intermittently. Then, some strange phenomena appeared in the immortal arts that he released. There were several times when he finally released the "Cloud and Rain Technique", but before he could be happy, the next moment, the rain turned green, and after falling on the ground, a group of green mist rose. After the green mist disappeared, many fine pits appeared on the originally hard ground. These pits were about an inch deep, with varying depths, and it was obvious that they were corroded.

Seeing this, Li Yan was a little confused. He carefully performed the "Cloud and Rain Spell" again. He wanted to see what it was. However, after performing it several times in a row, the magic could not be released. The moment the spiritual power surged out, it suddenly disappeared the next moment. So he unwillingly performed the magic several times, and finally succeeded again. However, this time, the "Cloud and Rain Spell" made Li Yan's eyes almost fall to the ground. What fell from the dark clouds was not rain, but a strange blue mist. It was about to fill the courtyard. Li Fang was so scared that he quickly released his spiritual energy to protect his body. This time, the spiritual energy in his body did not fail at the critical moment, and it really protected his whole body. This made Li Yan a little relieved. He quickly took out his waist card and opened the courtyard door to escape. He didn't know what the blue mist was. He was obviously performing the "Cloud and Rain Spell", which should be a shower of rain. He peered outside the courtyard, and after half an hour, the strange blue mist finally dissipated. When he entered the courtyard, he was at a loss again. The stone table and stone bench in the middle of the courtyard had disappeared, and the bamboo branches and leaves extending from the top of the courtyard were also curled and withered. The bamboo houses were still intact, but the color of the black bamboo on the surface had turned a little gray, as if it had lost a lot of spirituality. The courtyard wall and the formation were fine, which made Li Yan feel a little relieved, but after he walked around the courtyard, his face fell. The spiritual stones supporting the operation of the formation at the four corners of the courtyard were also consumed at this moment.

He had observed before that when the formation only turned on the protection function, the luster of the spiritual stones would dim for four or five days, but the spiritual stones he had seen yesterday were not just dimmed by one point, but at least dimmed by three or four points. Obviously, those spiritual stones were not enough to last until the end of the month, and the spiritual energy in them would be completely used up in ten days at most. He then realized that it was not that the courtyard wall was fine, but that there was a formation protecting the courtyard wall. The blue mist was blocked by the formation, so a lot of spirit stones were consumed.

After Li Yan felt sorry for the spirit stones for a while, he was also afraid. He looked at the dense pits on the ground and the disappeared stone tables and stone benches. If these corrosive rain or strange blue mist wrapped him up, the ending... just thinking about it made him shudder.

After a long while, after calming down, Li Yan still put his thoughts on his strange immortal arts. Could it be that the Guishui Sutra he practiced could not use these immortal arts? But this idea only flashed, and he was rejected. Dong Fuyi never said that the practice of Guishui Xianmen needed to be matched with special immortal arts. If that was the case, he would definitely put the practice and immortal arts together in his sea of ​​consciousness.

So is there something wrong with the magic itself? Of course not, these magics are the most common magics, whether it is the gray-clothed old man guarding the pavilion, or the eldest brother and the seventh brother, they have all said this. Since it is not a problem with the skills or magic, then there is something wrong with my body. The only problem with my body is that "fragmented poisonous body".

After thinking this through, he slowly relaxed, thought for a long time, and couldn't help but sighed. It seems that he has to go to the fat master, otherwise this matter will definitely not be solved. No matter whether he is reluctant or not, he has to fly to one of the bamboo courtyards with the magic weapon.

Half an hour later, Wei Chongran stood in Li Yan's courtyard, looking at everything in front of him, and then looked at Li Yan again. Without saying anything, he walked to the small pits, squatted down and reached out to touch the small pits on the ground. Li Yan was frightened and wanted to stop him, because there were still dry green water stains in those small pits. He had seen the strong corrosiveness of rain water. But the next moment, Wei Chongran's fingers had already been put into those small pits, but there was no green mist as Li Yan imagined. After Wei Chongran wiped some dry rain water on his fingers, he put them in front of his eyes and took a look, and then put them under his nose to smell. With a twist of his fingers, a green mist rose from his fingertips and disappeared in an instant. Then, before Li Yan could react, his teacher had stood up, waved his palm in the air, and then a few strange blue wisps rose from the white mist of the courtyard wall formation and quickly gathered towards his palm. Li Yan looked closely. These were the blue mists he had cast before. He didn't expect that there were still some in the courtyard. But he didn't plan to remind them again this time. After seeing Wei Chongran's methods before, he had guessed that these strange things he cast might not be a threat to others. Moreover, he had described the whole process and results on the way here.

As expected, after Wei Chongran sucked the blue mists into his palm, the blue mists swirled in his palm, as if trying to break free, but he couldn't get out. Wei Chongran clenched his palm and closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened his eyes. When he opened his palm again, the blue mist had disappeared. Then he thought about it again and looked at Li Yan.

"This should be the consequence of your fragmented poisonous body. I have also read about it in the classics before. Your physique will form severe poisons in the body. The two kinds of poisons just now, oh no, it should be said that they are composed of five kinds of poisons. The first kind of rain water is composed of 'phosphorus tobacco' and 'spotted leaf green water' respectively, and the second kind is composed of 'blue horse tassel', 'aconitum leaf', and 'purple electric centipede tail'. It's just that these poisons were originally made from herbs and monster organs, but you can actually produce them yourself. I have only seen the horror of the fragmented poisonous body in the classics before, and today is the first time I have seen it."

Wei Chongran's words are true. Only three people have cultivated this fragmented poisonous body in hundreds of millions of years, and the last one is tens of millions of years ago. It can be seen how precious it is. Otherwise, how could Li Yan, with his mixed spiritual root physique, worship this giant Wuliang Sect. Wei Chongran had only seen some descriptions in the classics before, but had never seen it with his own eyes. Seeing it today, he began to pay attention to this disciple. No matter how he would achieve in the future, his current poison skills should not be underestimated. Even a cultivator in the foundation-building stage would be harmed if he was not careful.

Li Yan was shocked in another way. He didn't know how powerful the fat master in front of him was, but he could easily take the rain and blue mist that he regarded as snakes and scorpions, and then easily disappeared without any harm to others. Moreover, this master could distinguish so many poisonous ingredients just by touching them. How powerful and confident he was.

Wei Chongran thought for a while and said to Li Yan, "It is normal for these phenomena to occur. They are problems in the process of practicing the Fragmented Poison. I know something about this, but I only know about the three poisonous bodies. Well, let's take you to get the records and summaries of the predecessors in the sect. The jade slips are more detailed."

When Li Yan heard that there was a solution, he was of course overjoyed. He was now interested in cultivating immortals, but he didn't want to break off the immortal path just after entering the immortal path.

Next, Wei Chongran's body flashed with a flash of spiritual light, and without using a flying magic weapon, he wrapped Li Yan and flew into the sky. Li Yan only then realized that it was so easy for a Jindan-stage cultivator to fly with spiritual power.

They went to the gray-clothed old man at Xiaozhu Peak, and went to the collection pavilions of Laojun Peak and Lingchong Peak to take out several jade slips and print them into Li Yan's sea of ​​consciousness. Li Yan also knew that the three predecessors of the ancient Zhongwangliang Sect who had the Fragmented Poison Body came from these three peaks.

An hour later, they came back. When Wei Chongran was flying over the errands in front, he thought about it and landed. The errands were working. Seeing Wei Chongran coming, they couldn't help but bow down. After Wei Chongran nodded, he ordered several errand disciples to help Li Yan move another set of stone tables and stone benches. This surprised the errand disciples. They didn't know why Li Yan's status was so important. You know, usually such a small matter, not to mention Li Wuyi's group came to say it, even if they sent a message, they would rush to do it. Unexpectedly, today it was the peak master who came to notify them.

Miao Wangqing, who was sitting in the main hall, also hurried over after hearing the news. Knowing that her master was here to instruct her on such a small matter, she couldn't help but look at Li Yan with her beautiful eyes. She didn't know what she was thinking, but it made Li Yan feel uneasy. This was not actually done deliberately by Wei Chongran. He just brought Li Yan back and passed by here. He remembered that the stone table and stone bench in Li Yan's courtyard had been destroyed. He was afraid that Li Yan was not familiar with some things when he first came, so he just said it on the way.

Seeing that the matter was done, Wei Chongran waved his sleeves and several low-level spirit stones flew in front of Li Yan, which made Li Yan stunned. Wei Chongran smiled indifferently and asked Li Yan to take them to set up the courtyard formation. Li Yan was a little surprised. He didn't expect this teacher to be so meticulous that he even thought about the loss of spirit stones for the courtyard formation. But he also knew that he only had six spirit stones on him now, so he couldn't be polite. He thanked him and took them away.

This action even surprised Miao Wangqing who was standing next to him. It was not that the spirit stones given by the master were special. These spirit stones were just low-level spirit stones. Not to mention a few, even hundreds or thousands of low-level spirit stones were just a drop in the bucket for a Jindan cultivator. What surprised her was that although this master was not stingy, he would not give you a single spirit stone if you did not borrow it. The Wuliang Sect wanted these disciples to survive independently and earn everything by themselves. Only in this way could they cultivate disciples who could stand on their own. You could not go far by relying on others to cultivate immortals.

This gave Miao Wangqing a new understanding of Li Yan. At least in the master's mind, this little brother was of some importance.

Of course, Li Yan did not know that others would have so many ideas if he received a few spirit stones. He thought that this was a reward from the fat master, so as a disciple, he accepted it after thanking him.

Seeing that his master had walked away with his sleeves fluttering, Li Yan also hurriedly said goodbye to his fourth senior sister who was looking at him curiously as if she had something to ask. He was so busy right now that he had no time to chat about anything. Cultivation and upgrading were the most important things.
