Liang Yan withdrew his magical powers, the gray color in his pupils gradually dissipated, and his entire right eye returned to normal.
"This is a magical power of the living dead. It's just that my realm was too low earlier and I didn't understand the rules of the movement of death energy. Today, thanks to the guidance of my senior and the death energy in the coffin, I can use it."
Liang Yan bowed to Wei Wenxiang and said slowly, "Thank you, senior, for your advice. Liang will keep it in mind."
"Hey, you don't need to remember my kindness, just help me protect someone." Wei Wenxiang waved his hand and said.
Liang Yan knew who he was talking about without having to think about it, and immediately asked: "Li Xiran?"
"good!"
Wei Wenxiang nodded and said: "I have heard about what happened in Cangnan Mountain back then. Since you have taken over the Tianji Box, then this girl Xiran will have no choice but to follow you. No matter what happens in the future, I hope you will take this into account today."
In terms of affection, I can take more care of her."
"Senior, don't worry." Liang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Now that Li Xiran is my disciple, even without today's encouragement, Liang will definitely protect her safety and not let her make any mistakes."
"Okay! I believe you."
Wei Wenxiang nodded, raised his hand and waved his sleeves, and four sword lights stopped in front of Liang Yan at the same time. It was his Mayfly Sword Pill and three sword gangs.
Liang Yan now knew that the other party was in the Xian Sheng Realm, so he was not surprised that the flying sword was taken away just now. With one hand, he pinched his four flying swords into the Taixu Gourd at the same time.
"Senior, I have one more thing to ask." After Liang Yan put away the flying sword, he asked again: "Have you ever heard of a physique called the 'Five Thunder Devouring Extreme Body'?"
"Five Thunder Devouring Body?"
Wei Wenxiang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It does have such a constitution. There are five kinds of innate divine thunder in Taoism, namely heaven, earth, dragon, god, and five social thunders. Their cultivation methods are very different. Ordinary monks only
You can choose one of them to practice, but a monk with the 'Five Thunder Devouring Body' can practice five thunder methods at the same time."
When Liang Yan heard what he said, his heart moved, and he thought to himself: "So she really has this kind of physique! I didn't expect that this girl Ji Hang is so talented. I had underestimated her before!"
"Why are you asking this? As far as I know, the 'Five Thunder Devouring Body' is extremely rare, and it is a hidden physique. Even those experienced people from Shenxiao Mountain have to carry special magic weapons to sense this when they go down the mountain.
The existence of this constitution." Wei Wenxiang said with a frown.
"Junior heard about this constitution by chance before. He is an enemy of mine and is searching for people with this constitution on a large scale, so I want to know more about it." Liang Yan answered very vaguely.
"That's it." Wei Wenxiang nodded and said, "As far as I know, in addition to helping one's own cultivation, this physique can also be used as a key to unseal certain lightning-attributed spiritual objects."
"oh?"
Liang Yan's heart moved, and he vaguely thought of something.
The "Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference" is about to be held. Is it because Sun Buer spent so much time searching for the "Five Thunder Devouring Body" because he has some unopened treasure in his hand?"
"This treasure is absolutely extraordinary. It may be the final treasure of the Luowang Chamber of Commerce."
Just when Liang Yan was thinking secretly, not wanting to talk anymore despite not smelling the fragrance, with a flick of his sleeve, a vortex appeared on the wall of the stone room.
"Okay, that's it for today. You have benefited from me. Don't forget to help me take care of Li Xiran."
Liang Yan knew that he had the body of a zombie. Although he had become a saint and was not afraid of thunder and lightning, he still had some inherent resistance to Taoist thunder. Being able to tell him so much was enough to give him face.
"Senior, don't worry, I will do my best to help Li Xiran break his destiny."
After Liang Yan bowed his hands and saluted, he turned and walked towards the exit.
Just when he was about to leave, Wei Wenxiang's voice sounded again behind him:
"I heard that you are looking for the holy energy of mountains and rivers? There is a dark market in the north of the city. It will open in ten days. Maybe you can go there to try your luck."
"Thank you, senior."
Liang Yan's heart moved, he nodded, and walked directly into the vortex on the wall without stopping.
The surrounding space was shifting, and in just a few breaths, when Liang Yan opened his eyes again, the person had already appeared outside the secret room.
This is still the end of a secret passage, surrounded by walls on three sides, making it seem like a dead end.
But Liang Yan knew that there was a space crack here that could lead directly to the secret room just now, but it would not be found without the saint's permission.
"Master Liang!"
A voice came from behind, but it was Li Xiran who was waiting here.
Now she was alone, and Qianlong had long since disappeared.
Liang Yan turned around and saw a trace of worry on Li Xiran's face. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't you know who the person in this secret room is?"
"Secret room?"
Li Xiran looked puzzled, looked at the surrounding walls, and said suddenly: "So is there a secret room here? I did ask Elder Gan before, and he said that there is a powerful senior here who wants to meet the master, no.
It will be harmful to you in any way. But Xiran is still a little worried, so he waited here for a few more days."
After listening to her words, Liang Yan showed a strange look on his face, and secretly thought: "Why doesn't even Li Xiran know about Wei Wenxiang's whereabouts? That's right. The secret room just now was indeed a bit weird, and there were nine coffins on the ground.
The eighty-one oil lamps on the wall seem to be arranged randomly, but in fact they hide a secret. Moreover, the entire secret room is hidden in the void. Unless it is revealed by the unscented incense, it will be difficult for outsiders to discover it."
Liang Yan is also a very thoughtful person. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that he probably didn't want to reveal his whereabouts prematurely because he didn't smell the fragrance.
"A saint can hide his traces so carefully. Is the person he wants to hide the city lord of Xuanyuan City or someone else?"
Liang Yan's thoughts were racing, but he couldn't guess Wei Wenxiang's intention. However, since the other party pulled him into the secret room and gave him various benefits, he obviously wanted to be kind to him and let him compete in the "Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference"
Protect Li Xiran’s safety during this period.
Judging from this, I am afraid that this zombie ancestor will not show up again before the conference is held.
"Master, Master?"
Seeing that he was in a daze, Li Xiran couldn't help but ask softly: "Master, are you okay? Who did you see in the secret room just now? That person didn't attack you, right?"
"No."
Facing Li Xiran's three consecutive questions, Liang Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "The person inside has no ill intentions towards me, but I have one thing to ask. Do you know about the dark market in the north of Guangling City?"
Since Wei Wenxiang didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, Liang Yan naturally wouldn't talk too much. What he was most concerned about right now was to find clues to the holy energy of mountains and rivers.
"The dark market in the north of the city?" Li Xiran frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I haven't heard of it, but I can ask people from the Chamber of Commerce to check it out."
"Then thank you for your hard work. Help me collect information on this dark market. The time is tight and it can't be more than ten days at most. And the sooner the better."
"clear!"
Li Xiran smiled and said: "You are my master, there is no need to be so polite. As long as it is your order, Xiran will do his best!"
Liang Yan smiled slightly after hearing this. He was indeed his apprentice. Regardless of his talent and background, he was excellent. In comparison, Xiong Yue'er was far behind.
Thinking of Xiong Yue'er, Liang Yan felt deeply in his heart. Although this eldest disciple was stupid, he had a close relationship with him. This stupid bear had always contributed to the several escapes in Nanchui.
"I don't know how she is doing now. If Wu Xin gets what she wants, she will take Xiong Yue'er across the Sea of Lost Souls, right? The sea of people will be huge by then, and it will take a lot of effort to find them."
When Liang Yan thought of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked casually, "Ji Hang, that tomboy, how have you been these past few days? You're not causing trouble everywhere, right?"
"No." Li Xiran said with a smile: "This girl listens to my words very much. Although she is a little wild, she is not stubborn. I have taught her some basic skills in the past few days, and she learned quickly."
"good."
Liang Yan nodded and said: "In that case, you will be responsible for guiding her cultivation in the future. Remember not to let her go out alone, and it is best not to leave the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce."
"Disciple understands."
Li Xiran had a smile in his eyes and thought secretly in his heart: "My master is indeed a cold person on the outside and hot on the inside. He pretended not to care before, but he didn't expect to be so concerned about this poor child. Well, now there are dragons and snakes in Guangling City. She
It's really not appropriate for a girl in the Qi refining stage to go out. She almost got into trouble last time in Fangshi, so I have to keep a close eye on her."
She thought so much, but she didn't know what Liang Yan was thinking.
Ji Hang has a five-thunder-devouring body. His old enemy Sun Buer wanted this kind of physique, but Liang Yan refused to let him get his wish. As long as Ji Hang was still in his hands, he might be able to find the opponent's flaws.
Naturally, these thoughts would not be expressed aloud. When Liang Yan saw Li Xiran's silly smile, he knew that the other party would have misunderstood him. He couldn't help but shook his head, said nothing, turned around and walked out of the secret passage.
After returning to his guest room, Liang Yan began to sit cross-legged and meditate in the room.
Unsmelling the incense is a zombie becoming a saint. I am afraid that few people can surpass him in the use of death energy. Liang Yan got the advice from the other party in the secret room and understood some of the rules of operation of death energy. Now he has to use the body of the living dead.
Far more than before.
When I first established the foundation, because my cultivation level was too low and I didn't understand the power of laws, as long as there was a slight imbalance between the two qi of life and death, I would be in danger.
But now that he is Zhenjun Tongxuan, even if he absorbs too much death energy, his life will not be endangered in a short period of time. What's more, he also uses most of the death energy to open his right eye and obtains the "No Way"
”.
Therefore, even if the death energy in the body far exceeds the vitality now, there will be no worries about life and death in a hundred years. If you find a spiritual object from heaven and earth that contains a lot of vitality in the future and refine it, you can still open your left eye.
When the time comes, the two qi of life and death will be in harmony, the body of the living dead will be balanced again, and your cultivation will be greatly improved.
Liang Yan was in a good mood, running his skills in the secret room, completely refining the death energy he had just obtained, and time passed unknowingly.
At noon on the third day, Liang Yan was meditating with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside. It was Li Xiran who came to find him.
"come in."
Liang Yan flicked his sleeves, the door opened automatically, and Li Xiran, dressed in Taoist robes, walked in from the door.
"Master, what you asked me to investigate has come to fruition. There is indeed a dark market in the north of the city, and it will be held in seven days."
"Oh? Then where is the location of this dark market? What are the forces behind it?" Liang Yan asked.
"Reporting to Master, the entrance to this dark market is near the City Lord's Mansion, and the power behind them is the City Lord of Guangling City, Zhu Youqing."
"Zhu Youqing"
Liang Yan murmured to himself, and suddenly remembered that Qianlong once told him that the position of city lord of Guangling City would be occupied by monks from several top sects and aristocratic families in the surroundings, and would rotate every ten years.
, and this year happens to be Zhu Youqing, the deputy sect leader of Haotian Sect.
"How is this dark market organized?" Liang Yan asked again.
"The so-called dark market is an underground exchange meeting where participants hide their identities. All treasures traded are regardless of their origin or authenticity. All consequences are borne by both parties to the transaction."
"I see."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"In fact, it's not surprising that such a dark market would appear."
Li Xiran talked eloquently: "Although the 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference' is lively, the treasures at the meeting are not traded, and the comparison is also the overall ranking of the chamber of commerce. Nowadays, there are a large number of monks and rare treasures gathered in Guangling City.
There must be many people who are interested in finding some rare treasures here."
"At ordinary trade fairs, the probability of treasures appearing is extremely low. In comparison, transactions in the dark market are more free. Many monks holding heavy treasures are more inclined to trade here. And the reason why the lord of Guangling City would organize this kind of trade
Yes, it’s because the benefits are huge. Every time a deal is made, they have to take 30% of the transaction price as commission.”
"Thirty percent?"
Liang Yan touched his nose and said with some surprise: "This commission is too high. Ordinary exchange meetings usually only take 10%."
"I can't help it, who made this a dark market?"
Li Xiran shrugged and said: "Even if you are an evil cultivator and kill the disciples of the big sect, the elixirs and treasures you get can still be sold here, and no one will know your identity. Only cultivators like Zhu Youqing dare to do it here
A dark market is held in Guangling City."
After hearing this, Liang Yan pondered for a moment and then asked: "Is there any news about the holy energy of mountains and rivers in the dark market?"
"I'm not sure about this." Li Xiran thought carefully and said, "But according to the reports from the Chamber of Commerce, there are other monks who are also looking for the holy energy of mountains and rivers. It is very likely that these people will also participate in the dark market."
Liang Yan nodded slightly. The biggest purpose of his trip was to find the holy energy of mountains and rivers. He couldn't let go of any clues. Since the dark market was so mysterious, he wanted to find out what it was.
"It seems that I have to go through my own journey as a teacher," Liang Yan said with a smile.
