Chapter 39 Changes in Lonely Mountain
A few days later, Wu Yan went out of Xiaogushan. In Gushan Inn in Gushan Town, he secretly met two people.
Hu Bao of Broken Blade Hall, and Hequan, the owner of the family planning medicine shop.
When Wu Yan sorted out some confidential items left by Pharmacist Feng half a year ago, he found some interesting things. These things are of course not very useful to him now, but he still has to stay in Qiancao Valley for a while, so he might as well see if he can find useful information from them.
In the small wooden box of Pharmacist Feng, there was half a 300-year-old old mountain ginseng, several secret books and a booklet recording the big and small confidential events of Broken Blade Hall.
The old mountain ginseng was no longer of much help to Wu Yan's cultivation, so he refined the half old mountain ginseng into a pill called Huiming Dan. This kind of Huiming Dan is of little use to cultivators, but it is extremely precious to those masters in the secular world, and it can even bring the dead back to life. With this life pill as a bargaining chip, Wu Yan believed that even if Li Ruoxu discovered the secret of Feng Yaoshi's disappearance in the future, Li Ruoxu would never embarrass Wu Yan for Feng Yaoshi, who was of little use to the Iron Sword Alliance and even threatened his position.
Of course, in order to prevent Li Ruoxu from killing people and stealing treasures, Wu Yan would continue to improve his life-saving skills. He only believed that his life was safe when he was in his own hands.
When meeting the two, Wu Yan found that Hu Bao and He Quan were poisoned by the Heart-Rotting Pill. Feng Yaoshi did not completely remove it for them, but gave them antidotes to delay the onset of the poison. Wu Yan originally came here under the banner of Feng Yaoshi to receive the items sent by the two. As a result, after accepting a booklet from Hu Bao and a small box of precious herbal seeds from He Quan, he accidentally revealed to the two that he could remove the Heart-Rotting Pill poison from the two.
Naturally, the two cried and begged. Seeing the two men acting so badly despite their age, Wu Yan thought about it and decided to remove the poison from them. After all, the two men were just ordinary people. Pharmacist Feng was already dead, so there was no need for them to be buried with him.
What Wu Yan didn't expect was that while he won the two men's gratitude, he also learned an important piece of information from Hu Bao. Before leaving, Hu Bao told Wu Yan that the Blood Rain Sect and the Dragon and Tiger Gang would use all their masters to attack Xiaogushan within half a year.
Hu Bao even told Wu Yan mysteriously that the Broken Blade Hall was actually a secret branch of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, with the purpose of conveniently monitoring the Iron Sword League nearby. For this reason, the head of the Broken Blade Hall was also fortunate to learn a huge secret. It is said that the two factions also invited the Immortal Master to help them attack the Iron Sword League this time. Looking at Hu Bao's mysterious and cautious, fascinated but fearful appearance, he seemed to know something about the Immortal Master.
If it were in the past, Wu Yan might not have had any feelings for the Immortal Master, but now he was secretly surprised to hear this news.
Immortal Master, are you talking about the immortal cultivators? When the two factions attacked the Iron Sword Alliance, there were actually immortal cultivators helping out. If this news was true, Wu Yan would have to carefully consider whether he should continue to stay in Qiancao Valley of Xiaogushan.
Some time ago, when Wu Yan was sorting out the relics of Master Feng, he accidentally learned some things about immortal cultivators from some of Master Feng's notes.
It is said that immortal cultivators seem to be subject to some restrictions in their lives in the secular world, such as not participating in the fights of ordinary people, and not killing and slaughtering ordinary people at will, otherwise they will be punished by heaven.
What exactly is it, because Master Feng's notes record some deeds passed down by his ancestors, and the narration is also very vague, so Wu Yan is not clear. However, Wu Yan also knows that the ability of immortal cultivators is so strong that ordinary people can never resist it, so it is not strange to have such a rule.
After hurriedly returning to Qiancao Valley, Wu Yan had a plan in mind.
Speaking of which, Wu Yan is now over fifteen years old. In the past two or three years, in order to practice the "Qi Xing Xiu Zhen Jue", Wu Yan learned to read and read a lot of ancient books. Whether it is knowledge or vision, he is no longer the ignorant farm boy. Moreover, since he broke through the sixth level of the "Qi Xing Xiu Zhen Jue", Wu Yan found that his abilities in all aspects have been greatly improved.
Whether it is memory or understanding and analysis ability, even he himself feels extremely surprised. This also makes him gradually feel that he seems to be on a life path that he has never dared to think of before.
After Wu Yan returned to the valley, he stepped up his practice and constantly figured out the dozen or so spell formulas. At the same time, he continued to collect poisonous herbs and poisons on the cliffs on all sides of Qiancao Valley every day. According to the "Pharmaceutical Classics·Poisonous Articles", he refined a large number of poisons and kept them with him as a secret means of self-defense and life-saving.
…
One day four months later, Wu Yan's laughter suddenly came from Qiancao Valley.
In the open space in front of several large stone houses in Qiancao Valley, a strange black figure, with wind under his feet, was flying around in the air four or five feet high, looking very elegant. The black figure was Wu Yan, who had already mastered the Wind Control Technique and practiced it skillfully.
Although this Wind Controlling Art is a low-level entry-level magic that cultivators use to travel, Wu Yan has practiced it with great interest for several months. Wu Yan has always envied those masters who can fly in the sky. He didn't expect that after practicing the Wind Controlling Art, he could also fly in the air. Although he could not fly for a long time and had to land to gain momentum after flying five or six feet away, Wu Yan was still very excited. He had to fly for two or three hours every day until he had almost used up all his magic power.
Wu Yan was like a soaring eagle, suddenly swooping down on a bowl-sized tree in the distance of the valley. When he was still three or four feet away from the tree, Wu Yan's face was full, he muttered something, and a yellowish-brown light gradually lit up on his hand. He suddenly pointed at the tree, and a finger-thick, light golden arc shot out from Wu Yan's hand and hit the trunk of the tree in the blink of an eye.
With a loud bang, the tree was hit by the arc of light, and was neatly cut in the middle by the golden arc of light. It fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the ground was smashed with a loud bang.
Wu Yan's face was showing an expression of surprise, but suddenly it turned pale. He smiled bitterly helplessly, and his body was like a kite with a broken string, and he fell directly to the ground from the air of four or five feet.
Fortunately, Wu Yan had already practiced the "Hidden Killing Technique" and "Wind and Cloud Step". When he encountered such an emergency, he was not panicked. When he fell less than ten feet away from the ground, his body turned upside down, and his body twisted left and right strangely like a spirit snake for several times. His feet had already landed steadily on the ground, and he looked calm.
Wu Yan clapped his hands and was very satisfied with his hands.
This time, he used the Wind Control Technique and the Golden Light Technique he had just learned in succession, resulting in the exhaustion of mana in his body after the Golden Light Technique was used up just now, so he fell from the air uncontrollably.
After Wu Yan reached the ground, he quickly sat cross-legged, swallowed a modified version of the Purple Sun Pill, and meditated on the spot to restore his magic power.
An hour later, Wu Yan's magic power was fully restored. He stood up with great satisfaction, shook off the dust on his body, and walked towards the stone house. Halfway through, Wu Yan's face suddenly moved, and then he smiled indifferently and walked towards the entrance of Qiancao Valley.
Qiancao Valley has not had anyone visit for more than a year, but unexpectedly there is a guest today.
Wu Yan is no longer afraid of anyone looking for trouble with him. He believes that with his skills and poison, even if Li Ruoxu comes, he can easily kill him. Even if he wants to, with careful arrangements, it is not a difficult thing to kill all the people in the Iron Sword League.
It just so happened that he had packed up all the things in the valley and was preparing to leave the Qiancao Valley of Xiaogushan Mountain quietly in the next few days. Of course, before leaving, he also planned to meet Zhang Tao and give him something, which was also a farewell to the first and only friend he met here.
Speaking of which, it has been several years since I last saw Zhang Tao. I don’t know what that honest guy has become now.
When he walked to the entrance of the valley, Wu Yan found several familiar figures from a distance.
There were a total of six people, all of whom were wearing silver-white sword suits that only the core disciples of the Iron Sword League would wear. The two leading people had two small golden swords embroidered on the chest of their sword suits. At first glance, they were the level of the Iron Sword League’s hall masters.
What surprised Wu Yan was that these two hall masters were actually the brothers Wang Feng and Wang Bai, whom he had not seen for several years. The four people behind them only had a small golden sword embroidered on their chests, and their status was obviously not as good as the two. However, Wu Yan was not unfamiliar with these four people. They were the "Gushan Four Swords" who had served as his bodyguards, You Chunpeng, Hua Chunsheng, Lu Chunyang, Qin Chunyu, etc.
Wang Feng stood at the entrance of the valley with an arrogant look on his face. When he saw Wu Yan walking out of the valley in a grand manner, he showed a malicious smile on his face, snorted coldly, and looked at Wu Yan walking towards them with his arms folded.
