Chapter 825 Changes
With green shades everywhere, Li Yan walked on the quiet stone path, and the fresh air was mixed with bursts of grass and trees. The unique smell of trees filled his nose.
The crisp bird calls alternated far and near, echoing in the valley. For a moment, Li Yan felt relaxed and refreshed.
After walking about ten miles, Li Yan came to the door of a cave built on the mountain. In front of the cave was a dense maple forest, and there was a large open space in the forest.
In this open space, Li Yan unexpectedly found a wide square platform as high as his knees. The square platform was very strange, with horizontal and vertical lines crisscrossing on it.
In the middle of the stone platform, there was a long and thin stone similar to a couch, which could accommodate seven or eight people.
After looking at it for a while, Li Yan did not understand what this large stone platform in the maple forest was used for. It was not until he came out of seclusion one night that he understood the use of this place.
At that time, a large, glittering, pale blue platform appeared in front of him. After he observed it repeatedly to make sure there was no danger, he stepped on it, and for a moment he felt like he was in a dream.
The thick shady branches and leaves that rose to the sky around him swayed in the wind under the night sky, and there were large patches of starlight falling from the sky.
I don’t know what kind of formation this square platform used, but it actually lit up at each node of those interlaced horizontal and vertical lines, like stars, shining with the stars in the sky, gorgeous as a dream. ??
Li Yan finally knew the origin of the name "Starry Cave" here, and the long, thin stone in the middle of the square platform was for people to lie down and drink and admire the stars. It was really an elegant place.
If you invite three or two Taoist friends, sitting in a star-like blue sea, you will really be in a fairyland.
But at this time, Li Yan was not in the mood to study what this square platform was used for. The breath in his body was still in a state of restlessness, and he needed to consolidate his cultivation as soon as possible.
After entering the cave, Li Yan found that as Xing Ming said, this place was often cleaned. Although the furnishings were simple, it was very clean and tidy.
The cave was quite spacious, with a lounge, a practice room, an alchemy room, and a room for raising monsters. Li Yan walked over and found a large spiritual plant garden behind the cave.
However, because no one lived there, the garden was simply planted with some low-level spiritual plants that were easy to survive, which was just a decoration.
After a circle, Li Yan also laid down the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation". After thinking about it, he went directly into the practice room. With a wave of his sleeves, he closed the doors of the cave and the practice room.
Whether it was the snow mosquito on his body or the flying sickle blood mantis in the mysterious blood river, they were very demanding on the environment. Li Yan had given up the idea of releasing them and putting them in the monster breeding room.
In that case, he would have to put the blood river and the huge ice chair that hid the "melting bamboo shoots" there at the same time. When these things were far away from him, Li Yan would immediately feel uneasy.
The training room was more than twice as large as the room in Li Yan's courtyard before. The spiritual energy in the room was extremely pure. Without Li Yan's active breathing, it had already entered Li Yan's body like a lively spirit.
r> Li Yan felt that the spiritual energy here was almost as dense as the spiritual energy outside Xiaozhu Peak. For a second-rate sect, it must be extremely luxurious.
"It seems that they really showed their sincerity this time."
After looking around, Li Yan shook the hem of his black robe and sat cross-legged on the ground.
But he did not start practicing immediately. He was surprised that twenty years had passed. He still had some things to sort out and deal with.
Although cultivation is important, he couldn't practice with peace of mind if he kept these things in his mind.
This time, he finally agreed to the other party's request and stayed to serve as the elder of "Falling Star Valley". It was one of Tianxingzi's words that moved Li Yan.
Li Yan lied that he would look for "Master" in the future, but Tianxingzi said that he could use the power of the sect, which immediately changed Li Yan's mind.
If he used the power of the sect to inquire about the news, it would definitely be countless times better than finding someone himself.
But that person was naturally not the illusory master he mentioned, but Zhao Min.
After all, a person's ability cannot be compared with that of a sect, especially for a native sect like "Falling Star Valley", it would be relatively easier to inquire about the news.
In addition, Li Yan also had to inquire about the way to leave the Lost Continent. Some information is not something that ordinary cultivators can know. He can't always look for middle and high-level cultivators everywhere.
After thinking about it, staying in "Falling Star Valley" is of course more beneficial than disadvantageous, and the result is a good choice.
Now that he has the power to protect himself, he is not afraid that "Falling Star Valley" will be unfavorable to him.
After sitting cross-legged, Li Yan's mind moved, and a phantom created by his spiritual consciousness appeared in the "spot of earth".
This retreat lasted for about twenty years, and the current situation of the little purple dragon elephant had to be known as soon as possible.
In the "spot of earth", the mountains, rivers, and rich earth spirits were all the same as before, as if it were yesterday.
Looking at the small river flowing quietly at the foot of the mountain, his figure and appearance were reflected in the river. Li Yan was in a trance for a moment, and for a moment he felt a little sad.
His appearance had not changed as it had twenty years ago. He was still an extremely ordinary young man, and the years had not left any traces on his face.
As his magic power became stronger and stronger, he had a sense of transcendence.
"Cultivating immortals, a dream of ten years, time is just a blink of an eye in front of cultivators!"
For a moment, he thought of his relatives in a remote mountain village on another distant continent. Now it was estimated that several sisters and third brothers had already entered middle age or even old age.
As for my parents, they have already reached the age of eighty. Although I stayed behind
There are many magic pills, but the mortal body has its limits after all.
Looking at himself in the river, Li Yan felt a little lost.
"Father, mother, are you okay? The children have been apart for decades and have not been able to fulfill their filial piety before the bed. I am ashamed to be the son of a human being..."
Li Yan murmured in his mouth, feeling extremely depressed for a moment. He wished he could fly back to Daqing Mountain, to the small mountain village, to the place where he had always dreamed.
But all these were extravagant hopes. Just like that, after Li Yan stood blankly by the river for a long time, his expression gradually returned to a state of neither joy nor sorrow. As soon as he stepped on it, he disappeared from the Qingqing River.
The next moment, he had arrived at the far west of the "Tu Spot". The five-colored halo in the sky was still there, and the power of the five elements was working tirelessly on each other. Heat waves spread out from the center, scorching everything here.
Li Yan stood in the air, staring at a crystal clear purple dome in the center of the desert below.
The purple dome has now grown to the size of four or five adults. Purple light flows on it, and waves of heat are emitted, like a purple sun half buried in the desert.
"Twenty years have passed, and it still hasn't been cast!"
Listening to the strong heartbeat sounds coming from the purple dome below, although Li Yan didn't know the specific situation of the little purple dragon elephant, he could feel the rich vitality coming from the purple dome.
"I don't know how far its 'soul-burning and refining fire' has reached, and when will it end?"
Li Yan just looked down silently. After standing in the air for a long time, his figure disappeared without a trace.
He only knows that Xiao Zi Shen Long Xiang is still alive, but there is no way to know the specific situation, so there is nothing he can do. All he can do is wait.
Xiao Zi Shen Long Xiang has carried out "burning souls and refining fire" of his three souls and seven souls. Who knows if there will be any accidents during this process, such as losing one soul or injuring one soul.
These cannot be sensed from the breath, just like stupid babies born among mortals.
Some of them have extremely strong vitality, but who can tell from this that there is something wrong with their souls or their intelligence.
In a cave at the top of the mountain, it was very cold, and a huge ice pedestal carved with an ice phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly stood in it.
The Snow Mosquito King, which is at least four times larger in size, is lying on the ice seat hiding the "melting bamboo shoots". At this moment, its body is in a state of alternating black and transparent states.
As it breathes in and out, its crystal clear body will turn pitch black the next moment.
And a moment later, as it gently exhaled, the pitch-black body turned into a piece of crystal again, pure and flawless, but a little weird.
The Snow Mosquito King's eyes were slightly closed, and he was immersed in some strange state.
Over the past few decades, its strength has continued to grow, and there were several times when he wanted to go to Li Yan to show off.
But no matter how it called, the other party just turned a deaf ear and ignored it at all.
If it hadn't died itself, the Snow Mosquito King would have thought that Li Yan had died.
When it was bored, it also went to the far west land of "Tuban" alone, but every time it could only look at the purple giant egg through the restriction.
It simply cannot break the restrictions imposed by Li Yan.
Just like this, day after day, year after year, Snow Mosquito King gradually felt a sense of despair, as if this place had been forgotten by Li Yan.
The evil star has not summoned it again for decades, and it once suspected that the other party had entered seclusion and practiced hard.
But based on the blood bond between them, the other party must be able to respond to his call no matter what, but it didn't know that Li Yan entered an inexplicable state after leaving his body.
So the Snow Mosquito King finally made the decision that it must practice well. It was somewhat doubtful that the blood contract between Li Yan and itself had disappeared.
So if that was the case, and Li Yan died without warning, wouldn't it be trapped here for the rest of its life?
Therefore, it became active from its decadence and began to practice hard. It will rely on its own ability to one day leave here with its people.
Li Yan's shadow quietly looked at the Snow Mosquito King who was practicing, with a strange light shining in his eyes.
"It looks like it is about to break through to the third level. Although this should have relied on the power of 'melting bamboo shoots' and the changes brought to it by those poisons, it is really surprising!"
Li Yan was a little surprised. The current Snow Mosquito King's strength was almost the same as when he was in Fengliang Mountain, and his poison skills were also extremely pure.
Although Li Yan only gave it two kinds of poison, from the breath exhaled by the Snow Mosquito King, Li Yan felt the power of the poison. It should only take one drop to kill a late-stage foundation-building monk.
"Although I haven't had time to help him find the 'Haohan Stone' yet, after twenty years, it has still made a great breakthrough on its own.
Now even if it has not reached the third level, after adding the poison skill, ordinary golden elixir may not be its opponent. "
Li Yan felt a little happy in his heart. The increase in Snow Mosquito King's strength was of course more and more helpful to him.
He still remembered his promise to Snow Mosquito King to help him find an assistant for training, but he was encountering one thing after another and had no time to care about anything else.
Then, Li Yan's spiritual sense swept lightly, and he smiled more. The entire upper half of the mountain was almost as dense as a beehive.
"This number is at least one or two million. They are really fertile!"
The current number of snow mosquitoes surprised and delighted Li Yan, and he couldn't help but sigh at the reproductive ability of mosquitoes.
"If they were released all at once, coupled with the powerful attack of the Snow Mosquito King, even a mid-stage Jindan cultivator would probably be exhausted to death."
