Ling Yao's series of questions made Li Yan a little stunned. He could only smile bitterly in his heart. This senior sister should be with Senior Sister Li and Senior Sister Miao.
If the three of them could get together, I think they would definitely become good friends...
Even though she and Bai Rou were allowed to meet before, when there were outsiders, Senior Sister Bai simply liked to stay there quietly...
It is estimated that soon, Senior Sister Ling will find it boring.
Among Ling Yao's questions, she had actually guessed some of them herself.
Like whether to get the Misty Moon Clear Immortal Grass? Now that Li Yan is back and Bai Rou has woken up, this is no longer a question as long as Li Yan's past purpose remains unchanged.
But she still asked all the questions. Although Li Yan didn't speak much, fortunately, he could still understand Ling Yao's mood.
This senior sister may have a good relationship with senior brother Ziming, but it is probably not easy for senior brother Ziming to appear here at any time.
The senior sister was practicing alone every day, and she was of course extremely depressed. When Ling Yao asked the question, she looked at her with a pair of big eyes.
Li Yan then began to explain the questions she raised to the other party...
And until an hour and a half later, Ling Yao held her chin in both hands, still looking like she was still unfinished.
Occasionally, she would whisper softly, saying that the master was too restrictive to her, etc., but Li Yan pretended not to hear anything.
As soon as Li Yan finished his narration, he immediately began to ask Ling Yao about matters within the sect without giving Ling Yao a chance to ask questions.
Sure enough, as Li Yan expected, after he patiently answered so many questions from this senior sister, Ling Yao really didn't change the topic when she answered questions at this time.
Not long after, Li Yan already knew a lot of things. Master Dong Fuyi's retreat had never seen a catastrophe.
Ling Yao also gave an explanation for this situation, saying that Master Dongfu had actually been able to break through in these years.
But because she had been suppressed in the lower realm for too long, Master said that Uncle Master would not break through so quickly, and Uncle Master would definitely want to advance perfectly.
The suppression by Dong Fuyi and the others is different from Li Yan's current suppression. Li Yan has been suppressing his cultivation in the fairy world.
Dong Fuyi's laws of heaven require a complete recovery process, and it is best for this process to be a flawless transition.
This will prevent Dong Fuyi's own strength from being in vain after he is promoted in the future.
And only a few decades have passed. Of course, it is impossible for Dong Fuyi to choose to break through so quickly. He may still need a lot of time.
This is a breakthrough to the Tribulation Realm. No matter how powerful the monk is, he cannot ignore the difficulty of breaking through the big realm, not to mention that the higher you go up in cultivation, the harder it becomes.
When the second uncle went out this time, he did tell Ling Yao some things.
Shiligui went out this time to look for Uncle Xingjia and the others, which was the same as what Uncle Ningke said.
However, the second uncle still did not explain the details of the matter to Ling Yao. He only said that if things go well, he should come back in the next few years.
But since they were looking for Uncle Xingjia and the others, Ling Yao guessed that it was about the Yin-Yang Chaos Sect. Of course, Li Yan thought that this guess was correct.
Uncle Ningke had told him before that if news about the Chaos Gate secret realm were released, it would be more beneficial to the Second Uncle and their plans this time.
This was the action of an old monster who was above the tribulation stage. Li Yan and the others couldn't help with this kind of thing, so Ling Yao didn't know what happened next and could only wait for the result at home.
After getting the news from the sect, Li Yan talked to Ling Yao here for a long time, and then flew back in the direction where he came from with Ling Yao's somewhat dissatisfied expression.
But then Ling Yao also had a happy look on her face, and immediately took out some of the things Li Yan gave her. She started studying them with joy and excitement, and soon became engrossed in them.
Ling Yao had received the true inheritance from her second senior uncle, and Li Yan also knew that this senior sister not only had high cultivation, but was also very fond of and proficient in alchemy.
Therefore, he immediately took out a lot of Huang Qi Valley's alchemy jade slips, which he had burned after returning, intending to give them to Ling Yao for study.
Huang Qi Gu does not allow his alchemy methods to be spread outside, but Li Yan doesn't care about these rules for his own people.
Moreover, Li Yan also took out some herbs obtained in the secret realm and gave them to this senior sister. Although these herbs were not the top-notch ones in his hands, they were extremely rare in the outside world.
Herbs that Ling Yao didn't recognize accounted for about 20 to 30 percent, which made her quickly immersed in research.
As for those top-grade medicinal herbs, Li Yan is still keeping them warm in the soil for the time being. Although his alchemy skills are still relatively ordinary.
But as for the warming and maintenance of medicinal herbs, his foundation is still very solid and he knows how to do it.
One of the first practices of Huang Qigu disciples is to strictly assess the basics of alchemy. This requires all disciples to study the basics of alchemy diligently every day while practicing the exercises.
Those herbs that he considers very precious will be handed over to the second uncle after he returns.
…………
After Li Yan returned to the cave, he only rested for one day before officially starting to practice in seclusion. He finally planned to find a breakthrough opportunity.
He felt that based on his current feelings about promotion, it might take less than three years for him to face his own catastrophe.
This astonishing breakthrough speed is all the result of his accumulated experience. Ever since Dong Fuyi started teaching him, Li Yan's practice has been advancing by leaps and bounds.
Many of these are his own insights, and with the guidance of a strong person like Dong Fuyi, the comparison between the two made Li Yan's understanding even more profound.
This is the benefit of having someone to guide you. It is completely different from Li Yan's self-cultivation. Even later, he himself had to start to suppress the growth of his cultivation.
During these years of continuous suppression and consolidation, Li Yan felt impulsive, as if he had reached the point where he could try to break through at any time.
The monks' reactions to him had always been very different, but one day three years later, Li Yan suddenly opened the door to his cave.
Then, after performing some magic tricks, he quietly scanned the Bairou Cave and sensed the stable aura inside.
Since he was worried about Bai Rou's situation, he asked his senior sister Ling Yao for the magic formula to control the formation here.
After confirming that Bai Rou was fine, Li Yan swayed and quickly flew out of the area.
Then, with just a sweep of his consciousness, he discovered that Ling Yao's cave restriction was also in an open state, and the other party seemed to have entered cultivation.
He quickly left the sect and came to the front of Yimu Xianmen Mountain Gate. There was still no one around here.
Li Yan found that he had been under this five-color halo several times, but he had not found any other sect disciples.
Therefore, Li Yan didn't know if these people were all practicing, or if not only the reed swamp was a temporary entrance, but even the lake area he entered was also a temporary entrance mapped by the formation.
This is why every time I enter, except for those special people, I never see any other disciples I met in the hall with my master for the first time.
"Disciple, if you have something to do, please contact me!"
Shortly after Li Yan finished speaking, an ethereal voice appeared in his mind.
"Are you about to break through?"
…………
In an area of the Guishui Immortal Gate, Fairy Ningke was still telling Li Yan some things. This was the place where the monks of the Guishui Immortal Gate welcomed the catastrophe.
Of course, this is under normal promotion conditions. Sometimes a catastrophe will suddenly occur, and the only way is to survive the tribulation on the spot.
There is an elder in the sect, not only to protect the sect, but also to protect the disciples like Li Yan when they are promoted.
Although it is difficult for outsiders to enter here, with the elders of the sect standing by, just teaching them the experience of overcoming tribulations in different realms will greatly increase their chances of success.
This was also something Dong Fuyi mentioned in the slip that he left to Li Yanyu before he went into seclusion. As long as he planned to advance, he could have any elder come over to protect him.
"...You must keep in mind what I have said. You have always practiced alone, and your character is different from others.
This can be seen from the fact that you didn’t push for promotion in the first place, and your second uncle hardly bothered..."
Li Yan also learned from Uncle Ningke's words that Pei Buchong had also been perfecting the way of heaven in the early stage due to the problem of suppressing cultivation in the lower realm.
But in the past few years, he finally chose to break through. In the end, he was protected by his second uncle, and finally successfully advanced to the Void Refining Realm.
After that, Pei Buchong went into seclusion again to stabilize his state. That is to say, he never appeared again after he went into seclusion again.
With Pei Buchong's foundation that is so solid that it can't be improved, it shouldn't be a big problem if he can reach the late stage of the Void Refining Realm soon.
But Li Yan knew that Pei Buchong would definitely not do that. He was a cautious person just like himself.
Even if you want to gain great power, you can only advance step by step and advance in the most stable state.
Li Yan listened to Uncle Ningke's explanation, which made him feel unprecedentedly safe when facing the catastrophe.
The other party explained in detail the various situations that would occur during the heavenly tribulation in the Void Refining Realm, and also gave the corresponding means of overcoming the tribulation.
These are all methods that Li Yan can use, and more of the focus is on the timing of action, which is particularly important.
Here today, Li Yan saw a rare Master Ningke.
Li Yan felt that even if the words on the way to Huangqi Valley in those years were included, this was the most he had ever spoken to Master Ningke since he met him.
For such a sect, Li Yan's heart was full of warmth, and he strengthened his thoughts in his heart.
Then, Li Yan flew towards the depths of the wilderness alone, while Fairy Ningke was suspended in the air with her legs crossed...
Four days later, the thunder in the sky above this area finally dissipated, and Li Yan flew out from the depths covered in blood.
In addition to Fairy Ningke, Ling Yao was also standing beside her above the sky.
As the person in charge of the sect's formation, the thunder here also disturbed Ling Yao from her practice, and she immediately rushed over.
Seeing the injured but calm-looking young man in front of her, Fairy Ningke also stood up.
"The tribulation went very smoothly. Just like Bu Chong, you took four days to advance to the Void Refining. It was smoother than Ziming and others."
"Thank you, uncle and senior sister, for protecting the law. Li Yan is grateful!"
Although Li Yan was still injured when he overcame the tribulation, the smoothness of his tribulation this time was the easiest since he broke through the Golden Core Realm.
The other party was a strong man in the Tribulation Realm, and the method he gave to face the Heavenly Tribulation, which was specifically designed to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation in the Void Refining Realm, immediately played a key role.
Although everyone's final process of overcoming the tribulation will be different, the richness of Fairy Ningke's experience is beyond what Li Yan could have imagined.
Even when it comes to dealing with each calamity, the other party will give at least five or more methods. When the critical moment comes, one of them will always work.
And when going through the tribulation here, Li Yan no longer has the same fear as before, and at the same time he has to guard against the covetousness of others.
Even during the Nascent Soul Tribulation of the Demon Sect in the Lower Realm, Li Yan was worried that he would accidentally expose the skills of the Guishui Immortal Sect during the heavenly calamity.
And here, Li Yan is the main skill to advance, so of course he can use it to his heart's content, which makes Li Yan feel more relaxed than ever before.
Every time he had to overcome a calamity before, he had to be cautious and try his best to deal with it, and he always succeeded in a narrow escape.
In the past, the skin and flesh wounds were only minor, and his soul and Yuanying would be harmed. This made it an exaggeration for Li Yan to say that he was "scorched on the outside and tender on the inside" after the previous catastrophe.
In such comparison, the injuries suffered this time are nothing at all.
"Congratulations to junior brother for being promoted to Lianxu!"
Ling Yao also had a bright smile on her face. There were too few disciples in their sect. As long as someone could improve their strength, no one would be surprised.
"Go back and consolidate your realm!"
Fairy Ningke gave the order directly, but deep in her beautiful eyes, there was also a hint of hidden joy.
After Li Yan and Pei Buchong appeared, it wasn't just the pride shown by Senior Brother Qianzhong and Senior Brother Dongfu that made others feel that these two people had unlimited potential.
But after these two people really reach the Void Refining Realm, they will be a silent encouragement to Zhao Ziming and the others.
Since Li Yan's return, Fairy Ningke has made a new plan through Li Yan's narration of the trip.
Now she is still waiting for something to ferment. She thinks that soon, she will take the lead in arranging for Zhao Ziming to go out to complete a very dangerous task.
Of course, this was not a blind move on her part. She had thought over that mission repeatedly, and Zhao Ziming was at least half sure that he could return safely.
Since the other senior brothers and junior brothers in the sect are not here now, we should start from our side first and let Zhao Ziming try it first.
Li Yan stood at the door of Bairou Cave. He did not immediately enter the cave on one side. Instead, he stood here and thought for a moment before taking out a jade slip.
Then after the spiritual consciousness entered, it was quickly burned inside. It only took seven or eight breaths for Li Yan to pull out the spiritual consciousness.
He casually took out another storage ring, which he had prepared a long time ago. Finally, he gently pushed these two items in front of the opponent's cave formation.
Then the mana in his hands came together again, and he drove these two things into the opponent's formation.
After doing all this, Li Yan turned around and walked quickly towards the cave where he temporarily lived...
More than two years later, Bai Rou, who was dressed in white, slowly opened her eyes with her long eyelashes trembling a few times while her eyes were slightly closed.
At this time, her sea of consciousness had been reconsolidated, and the time it took was basically not much different from Fairy Ningke's estimate.
Bai Rou unexpectedly discovered that after she experienced this life and death crisis, it actually brought her an extra surprise.
It was unknown whether her sea of consciousness was due to the impact of that external force or because of the Obscuring Moon Immortal Grass. As her sea of consciousness consolidated and repaired, it actually continued to expand at the same time.
In the end, the entire sea of consciousness was more than 30% larger than before. For a monk, this was simply a blessing from heaven.
The result of this is that the intensity of Bai Rou's consciousness suddenly doubled. According to her own estimation, it should have reached the intensity of consciousness in the late Yuanying stage.
Divine consciousness is the most crucial factor in cultivation for any monk, especially for monks who control puppets, it becomes more and more prominent.
That would simply elevate their strength to an incredible height in a short period of time, doubling their combat power.
