The three of them sent Song Ru away, and each chose a cave on the top of the mountain as their own place of cultivation in the future.
Liang Yan chose a large cave on the south side of the mountain. It was surrounded by green vegetation and full of aura. There was also a small medicine garden inside. Although the area was not large, it was rich in aura and some elixirs and fruits had been planted. They seemed to be growing well.
good.
He is quite satisfied with this condition. Although his current strength is enough to match the monks in the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm in Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities, on the surface, he still only has the cultivation level of Jindan Realm.
There are a lot of monks with this level of cultivation in Wushuang City, and being able to get such a cave is Song Ru's preferential treatment. Only monks in the Tongxuan realm can have an independent mountaintop in Wushuang City.
Liang Yan didn't care much about this. He walked around in his cave and set up some formation restrictions of his own on top of the original defensive restrictions. Then he went to the medicine garden and saw some
All the elixirs and fruits that were in my eyes were transplanted into my own Taixu gourd.
His Taixu Gourd is a world of its own. It now has a radius of thousands of miles and is full of spiritual energy. It is more than enough to cultivate these heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Because Liang Yan wanders around all year round, he doesn't like to leave important things in the cave and always likes to carry them with him. Although this medicine garden is good, he still feels that it is more reassuring to put it directly into his Taixu gourd.
After everything was settled, it was already evening, and Liang Yan returned to the secret room of the cave.
After running all the way from Tianhe City to Wushuang City, he finally got a short period of peace. At this time, Liang Yan no longer wanted to pay attention to the disturbances from the outside world. He only wanted to practice quietly and improve his strength.
It was impossible to go to Wushuang City to pick up the mission. Unless Bihai Palace assigned him a mission that he had to perform, he would never want to step out of the cave.
But before retreating, there are still some things that need to be dealt with.
He has been studying the "Tao Sword Sutra" diligently for the past hundred years and has opened up the first four meridians of the Five Lords Immortal Veins. Now only the Zhongxuan Immortal Veins have not been opened.
This meridian is very important. As long as this last one is opened, the Nanhua Immortal Vein, Beiming Immortal Vein, Dongling Immortal Vein and Xibao Immortal Vein, which were originally isolated in all directions, can be merged together.
The Jun Xian Vein is completely formed, and the magical power will be greatly improved!
It's just that to open up this last meridian, in addition to hard training, a lot of scarce resources are also needed. Although Liang Yan has already reached the bottleneck, he has been unable to break through because he does not have the necessary resources.
Therefore, his first task now is to use his identity as a disciple of Wushuang City to go to the city to collect the resources he wants.
In the cave, Liang Yan counted the trophies he had captured over the years, and compared it with the methods recorded in the "Tao Sword Classic", and quickly made a list for himself, which included all the things necessary to open up the Zhongxuan Immortal Vein.
There are various kinds of resources, including heavenly materials and earthly treasures, elixirs, monster essences and blood, etc. There are a total of twenty-eight kinds in total.
Just when he was in a trance, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cave. The person who came did not hide his aura, and Liang Yan quickly recognized him.
"Brother Liang, Xiran came to visit." Li Xiran's voice came from outside the cave.
At this time, Liang Yan's face was calm and his eyes were indifferent. It was obvious that he was not surprised at all by the arrival of this woman.
"Come in." Liang Yan said calmly.
As the voice sounded, a ray of green light flew out from the cave, and soon disappeared into the void above. The surrounding restrictions were automatically opened, making way for Li Xiran to pass through.
Li Xiran walked along the passage and after turning a few corners, he saw Liang Yan sitting in the courtyard.
"Brother Liang, Xiran came here specifically to express his gratitude this time."
Li Xiran looked at Liang Yan who was sitting still, and said with a very serious expression: "In Fanghu Immortal Valley, if you hadn't come to rescue me, Xiran would have either died or been captured, and would have survived in the end."
It's better to die. You saved my life, and Xiran will never forget it in this life."
Liang Yan smiled slightly after hearing this, waved his hand and said: "If you want to thank me, you can skip it. I saved you because we are old acquaintances, but you seem to have a lot of secrets. If I guess correctly, Hu Shi
Third, besides massacring the candidates, the main purpose of Xiong Ba and his gang is actually you, right?"
As soon as he said this, Li Xiran fell into silence, his eyes flickered slightly, and you could see the hesitation on his face.
"Forget it, everyone has their own secrets. Since you don't want to tell me, I can't force myself to come." Liang Yan shook his head and said, "It's just that everyone only has one life, and Liang cherishes his life very much. I hope that next time
Fellow Daoist Li, can you inform us in advance so that we don’t get into danger for no reason?”
"Liang Yan!"
Li Xiran suddenly interrupted him, lowered his head and pursed his lips, then raised his head again, his watery eyes looking particularly bright in the dark night.
"Although I appear to be a monk from the Wenxiang Sect, I actually come from Baiyu City, and my father's name is Li Yuxian!"
"Li Yuxian?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly, he seemed to have heard this name mentioned by someone before.
Wait! When Ji Lai first introduced the origin of the 'Dragon-Tiger Fighting Technique' to him, he mentioned Shen Sanchi's guess that this technique was most likely created by someone.
When Liang Yan thought of this, his expression suddenly changed, and he pointed at Li Xiran and said, "Li Yuxian! Are you talking about Li Yuxian, the lord of White Jade City?"
Facing Liang Yan's question, Li Xiran nodded silently.
Seeing her directly admitting it, Liang Yan's eyes were still full of disbelief, and then he said:
"How is it possible! White Jade City is one of the twelve cities in the Seven Mountains. Since your father is the lord of this city, he doesn't have to get the wind and the rain? How can you, the daughter of the city lord, be left alone?
Even going to a remote place like Nanchui where resources are scarce?"
After hearing this, Li Xiran smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Liang doesn't know something. The reason why I have concealed my identity and moved around all these years is because my father's Taoist foundation is the 'Ten Thousand Tribulations Taoist Foundation' among the upper three grades."
!”
"The foundation of all calamities?"
Liang Yan's heart moved. He did not interrupt the other party's words, but waited quietly for her next words.
"Brother Liang must also know that there are nine types of Taoist foundations, among which the upper three levels are illusory and illusory, and it is rare to see one in a million people. And among these upper three levels of Taoist foundations, the Ten Thousand Tribulations Taoist Foundation is the most tragic one."
"Although those who have achieved this Tao foundation can learn any magical power and magic in one go, and their skills will improve by leaps and bounds, but it is precisely because the Tao foundation of ten thousand kalpas is too overbearing, so as long as the Tao foundation is completed, the luck will be improved
Suppressed by the law of heaven, you will go through hardships throughout your life and destroy your loved ones around you. My mother died because of this, and even the chance of reincarnation was completely lost."
When Li Xiran said this, his face gradually darkened, and his originally bright eyes were lost in the dark night, as if he was momentarily confused about his future.
"This happened."
Liang Yan also took a breath of air-conditioning. He didn't expect that the Tao Foundation of Ten Thousand Tribulations, which is also one of the third-grade Tao Foundation, would be sacrificed at the expense of all the loved ones around him! I don't know if the person who gets this Tao Foundation is lucky or sad?
He was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked: "But your father has already overcome the catastrophe and became a saint. Even with the body of a saint, he can't reverse this cause and effect?"
After hearing this, Li Xiran shook his head and said: "It's no use. My father was not convinced at first. Back then, he became a saint and became a hero. He thought that man could conquer heaven and that there was nothing unachievable in the world. Not only did he want to be glorious and glorious,
When you marry your mother, you also have to ensure that she is safe and sound. Who would have thought that just three years later, my mother would die in her eighth calamity?"
"After my mother died, my father turned gray overnight. He became disheartened from then on. He not only severed ties with me, but also expelled me from White Jade City. I had just turned two years old at that time, and the president of the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce had an old relationship with my father.
, came here specially to pick me up. In order to completely cut off the connection between me and my father, I was sent to Nanchui since I was a child to avoid the influence of heaven."
"There is such a connection." Liang Yan looked sympathetic, nodded and then asked: "Then you have been hiding in Nanchui for so many years, why did you come back?"
Li Xiran smiled miserably and said: "I have been hiding for many years, but can I hide for a lifetime? What's more, Nanchui is located in a remote place and lacks resources. Is it because of my father that I will have to stop using the golden elixir in this life? To put it bluntly, I
Not willing to give in, I heard from my master that this time the 'Six Finger Bones' appear in this world, if I can collect the six finger bones and get the legendary 'Tianji Box', there may be a chance to change my destiny and make me no longer
Influenced by my father.”
"It turns out you are also here for the 'Six Finger Bones'!"
Liang Yan now understood. Li Xiran had concealed something from him before, saying that she had received a secret order from the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce, so she came to participate in the selection and assessment of Wushuang City. Now it seems that she had a clear purpose from the beginning.
, but the relationship with him was not that close at that time, so he didn't say it clearly.
"Yes, I have been honest with you." Li Xiran said frankly: "This time I came to Wushuang City just to find out the whereabouts of the 'Six Finger Bones', because our Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce already has one. If we can find the remaining
If you use five of them, you can get the 'Tianji Box'."
When Liang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but fell silent.
He knew that if he continued to ask questions, he would be involved in the specific plans of the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention whether Li Xiran would tell him without reservation, even if she did, he might not want to hear it.
Once you know this kind of thing, you will be involved in right and wrong.
There is more than one person secretly watching the Tianji Box. Shen Sanchi, Master Lianxin, and other sects within the territory of Wushuang City. Even the Bone-Eating Demon Lord of Gu King Mountain and the mysterious Noki Bai may be secretly watching the Tianji Box. The peeping person.
None of these people are simple characters. Once you fall into them, it may be difficult to get out.
Now, Liang Yan just wants to improve his cultivation level and strive to break through to the late stage of Jindan as soon as possible. After cultivating for 180 years, he will find an opportunity to break through the mysterious door and prove his mastery.
So when he heard Li Xiran say this, he didn't continue to ask any more questions.
"It turns out that you are the daughter of the city lord. Liang had a lot of rudeness in the past. I hope you won't settle the score with me." Liang Yan pretended to hold his hand in his hand, with a smile on his face.
Li Xiran knew that he was joking with her on purpose, so he forced a smile and sighed: "I am not the daughter of a city lord, I am just an exiled person. I just hope that I can escape the mysterious way of heaven and let me There is an opportunity to go further on the road to immortality.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan couldn't help but feel a little silent.
Yes, everyone says that the way of heaven is unfair, and everyone must go against heaven, but the way of heaven is like a silent old man, usually silent and always watching with cold eyes.
But when you climb up, you feel that he is everywhere, like an invisible big hand, strangling the necks of all living beings.
How can the way of heaven be so rebellious?
Li Yuxian broke through the catastrophe and became a saint, trying to defy heaven, but in the end he killed his beloved. The third-level Daoji is extremely domineering, but at the same time has its own shortcomings. The world reincarnates, everything rises and falls, and there seems to be the way of heaven in the dark. Constraints, to what extent can one practice oneself to escape from this so-called way of heaven?
Liang Yan was at a loss in his heart at this time, but he knew that this was not what he should be thinking about now.
I am still only in the Golden Core Realm, not to mention those twelve city lords who turned their hands into clouds and rain, the sect masters of the seven mountain gates, even a monk in the late Tongxuan Realm, they are not what I can do now. Competitive.
The top priority is to improve one's strength as soon as possible. As for those illusory things, let's leave it to the future.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan shook his head, expelling these sudden insights from his mind, and sighed: "Everyone has their own path to walk. Although your path is bumpy, it is not without hope. I hope you can Turn misfortune into good fortune and come out of Li Yuxian's shadow."
"Then let me borrow Brother Liang's good words." Li Xiran smiled slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "What are Brother Liang's plans next?"
"I plan to go to Wushuang City to collect the necessary resources first, and then practice in seclusion in this cave. As for your fight for the 'Six Finger Bones', Liang will not participate."
Liang Yan told Li Xiran his plan and told Li Xiran that he was helpless in this matter and asked her not to disturb him.
"Can you show me the list of things you need?" Li Xiran asked.
"Can."
Liang Yan nodded, reached out and took out a scroll from his sleeve, and handed it to the other party.
"Um"
After Li Xiran glanced around, he slowly said: "The things you listed here are not cheap. The key is that some things may not be bought even if you have money, such as the Heartless Immortal Milk, Jinghong Gu Ice, Fire Cloud
Sand, and this golden toad blood, are both priceless and rare commodities!"
"Not even in Wushuang City?" Liang Yan frowned.
"I don't know if there are any in Wushuang City, but if we leave this matter to our Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
