Liang Yan's expedition this time not only quelled the demon tribe's chaos, but also uncovered the mastermind behind the scenes, Patriarch Huangshi. After killing the opponent, he recruited the monks from Seven Star City, bringing the reputation of Bihai Palace to its peak in a short period of time.
Zhengyang Palace, Shura Palace, Linglong Palace, and Yunjin Palace changed their previous attitudes and sent people to congratulate him one after another, giving many pills and treasures.
Faced with the overtures of the four palace masters, Liang Yan did not refuse and took all these things as ordered to expand the reserves of Bihai Palace.
After receiving the people who came to congratulate her, Liang Yan went to the attic where Ning Xia was.
Three days have passed since Liang Yan returned to Wushuang City. During these three days, Ning Xia has been dealing with the aftermath of the Bihai Palace army, and now she has some free time.
Seeing Liang Yan arriving, Ning Xia smiled slightly and saluted him.
"Meet Palace Master Liang!"
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, fellow Daoist Ning." Liang Yan also smiled, his expression very kind.
Speaking of which, Liang Yan was appointed the Lord of Bihai Palace by Linghu Bai, and Ning Xia has always supported him fully. He has never lacked etiquette since he took office.
But all this stems from her sincerity for Linghu Bai, not her recognition of Liang Yan.
Since ancient times, the world of cultivation has always spoken with strength. If you want to win the recognition of others, you must have enough strength. This is an eternal truth.
Although Ning Xia respected him before, it was only superficial politeness and it has not changed until today.
Because Liang Yan was able to kill the ancestor of Huangshi, it showed that his strength was superior to Ning Xia, so this time Ning Xia was convinced of him, and it was the first time she sincerely called him "Palace Master".
Liang Yan was of course aware of Ning Xia's change. He would not be stupid enough to point out this subtle change. He just smiled slightly and said: "Friend Daoist Ning, I return to Bihai Palace this time, hoping to retreat and comprehend the breakthrough in the realm of tribulation.
This is an opportunity. For a long time from now on, Bihai Palace will depend on you to run it, so I will meet with you one last time before retreating to see if there is anything you need me for."
"Palace Master Liang is determined."
Ning Xia nodded and took out a list of names from her sleeve. Liang Yan took it and took a look and found that the names written on it were all the monks from the Anti-Demon Alliance and the Seven Star City monks he brought back from this expedition.
"These people are all recruited by you. Although I have some ideas in my mind about how to appoint them, the palace master still needs to make the final decision." Ning Xia looked at Liang Yan and said slowly.
"The monks of the Anti-Demon Alliance are worthy of great responsibilities, but the monks of Seven Star City can only serve as pawns." Liang Yan glanced at the list and explained his thoughts to Ning Xia in detail.
The two of them discussed matters in the attic, from noon until late at night, except for the specific arrangements for recruiting personnel, as well as the situation of the Wushuang Domain and the troubles that Bihai Palace might encounter in the future.
At the end, the two of them had finalized everything. Liang Yan smiled slightly and said, "The next thing will be left to fellow Taoist Ning. The time of Liang's retreat cannot be estimated. All matters of the Bihai Palace can be dealt with.
You have full authority to make the decision, you don’t need to ask me for instructions.”
"Don't worry, Palace Master Liang. Don't worry about the affairs of Bihai Palace. I wish you a successful breakthrough and an early advancement to the Tribulation Realm." Ning Xia said with a serious face.
"Then let me borrow auspicious words from fellow Taoist friends."
Liang Yan smiled and was about to say goodbye when he suddenly remembered something. He took out a black stone from the storage ring and asked, "Do you recognize this, fellow Taoist?"
"This is the Heavenly Spirit Stone!" Ning Xia said lightly.
"Heavenly Spirit Stone?"
Liang Yan frowned, he had never heard of it before.
"It's normal that you don't know, because this is a spiritual stone that only monks in the Tribulation Realm will use."
Ning Xia's face was calm, and she said calmly: "The monks in the Transformation Tribulation Realm are different from any previous realms. They have to go through three disasters and nine disasters to become a saint. And every time they survive a disaster, the next one will be more violent. Transformation Tribulation
Realm monks need to quickly replenish their spiritual power during disasters. Ordinary spiritual stones are definitely not enough, so you need heavenly spiritual stones at this time."
"One heavenly spirit stone is equivalent to one million ordinary spirit stones, and it supplies spiritual power very quickly. It can replenish the spiritual power lost in fighting the disaster in a short period of time. But for ordinary monks, this spiritual power is
The power is too great, and if used forcibly, it is very likely to explode and kill one's body, so monks below the Transformation Tribulation Realm will never use this kind of spiritual stone. This kind of spiritual stone is a resource that monks at the Transformation Tribulation Realm will only use when they overcome the tribulation.
"
"I see."
After hearing this, Liang Yan suddenly realized that no wonder he had not seen this kind of spiritual stone before. It turned out to be the reason for his lack of realm.
Ning Xia added at this time: "Actually, Heavenly Spiritual Stones are extremely rare. Since this resource can play a role in the transformation of tribulation realm monks when they overcome tribulations, although the spiritual power is equal to one million ordinary spiritual stones, its value is far greater.
Far more than one million spiritual stones, it is priceless!"
"Generally, monks who have just advanced to the realm of calamity may not be able to use the Heavenly Spirit Stone due to their insufficient cultivation. However, the more monks who have experienced disasters, the more they pay attention to the Heavenly Spirit Stone. At some small high-level trade fairs,
You can even only use Heavenly Spirit Stone as a trading currency."
"That's it. Thank you Daoist Ning for your guidance."
Liang Yan got help from Ning Xia to solve his doubts and finally figured out the origin of the black spirit stone. He was secretly happy when he thought of the ten heavenly spirit stones "gifted" to him by the Huangshi ancestor.
He put the Heavenly Spirit Stone back into the storage ring, said goodbye to Ning Xia, turned and left the attic, and returned to the cave where he was retreating.
After returning to the cave, the first thing Liang Yan did was to take out Huangshi Patriarch's "Wugou Demon Statue".
"Ancestor Huangshi, you are very kind. Not only did you leave ten Heavenly Spirit Stones to me, but you also kept treasures such as the 'Wugou Demon Statue' and the Huangshi Seal."
Looking at the khaki puppet in front of him, Liang Yan's face showed a hint of joy.
When practicing swordsmanship on my own, I originally lacked defensive magic weapons. Although the "Heavenly Dragon's Immortal Body" is powerful, it cannot be revealed in front of others all the time.
Therefore, a defensive magic weapon is crucial.
This "Innocent Golem" has extremely strong defensive attributes. Not only is it invulnerable, it can also absorb other people's magical powers. When fighting with Huangshi Ancestor, he even swallowed most of his own sword energy. This shows that it is
The power of.
Another key point is that this is a puppet. Although it does not have complete sanity, as long as spiritual power is injected into it, it will spontaneously defend its owner. For Liang Yan who has not practiced earth-based skills, it is difficult to get started.
Not big either.
Liang Yan was very satisfied with the "Innocent Demon Statue". What he had to do now was to completely erase the mark left by Huangshi's ancestor on it and then sacrifice it to become his own.
With this thought in mind, Liang Yan raised his hand and fired several spells, which turned into streaks of light in mid-air and penetrated into the interior of the "Wugou Demon Statue" one after another.
The ancestor of Huangshi has been practicing for more than two thousand years, and the "Innocent Demon Statue" has been perfected for a long time. Liang Yan has to erase the other party's mark and re-enter his own mark, which naturally takes a lot of time.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
In the secret room, when Liang Yan cast the last spell, the eyes of the "Wugou Demon Statue" finally opened and lit up with an earthy yellow light.
Click! Click! Click!
As the sound of joints turning was heard, the Wugou Demon Statue slowly stood up and knelt down on one knee towards Liang Yan.
"Very good, from now on, I am your master!"
Liang Yan looked at the demon statue in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I'll give you a name. Let's call you 'Wugu'!"
After hearing this, the Unsullied Golem seemed to recognize the name and nodded slightly.
Liang Yan showed a satisfied look on his face, raised his hand and put the Wugou Demon Statue into the Taixu Gourd.
The next moment, he cast another spell, turned into a spiritual light, and flew out of the cave where he was retreating.
Not long after, Li Xiran and Bai Qingruo's voices sounded outside the cave:
"Meet the Master!"
"Xiran, Qingruo, my teacher is going to retreat."
Liang Yan's voice came slowly from behind the gate of the cave: "This time of retreat, the time of being a teacher is uncertain. It can be as short as two or three years, or as long as decades. The time is uncertain. Today I will teach you another sword.
Jue must be practiced diligently and not be wasted."
Li Xiran and Bai Qingruo's expressions changed slightly after hearing this.
Especially Li Xiran, Liang Yan has been in retreat in the cave since he came back from the southwest border, and has not even seen him. Now that he has to continue to retreat, he can't help but feel a little disappointed.
But she also knew that Liang Yan was a person who wholeheartedly sought truth, and this kind of thing was perfectly normal.
"Master, don't worry, Xiran will not waste time. When you come out of seclusion, you will be surprised!" Li Xiran said with a smile.
Liang Yan also smiled slightly after hearing this, and then used sound transmission to teach the two of them the sword skills and swordsmanship skills he had prepared for them.
After hearing this, Li Xiran and Bai Qingruo both felt enlightened and said nothing more. They just said goodbye and left in a hurry. Apparently they felt something after listening to Liang Yan's teachings and couldn't wait to go back and experiment.
After sending the two of them away, Liang Yan's cave became deserted again.
He pondered on the futon for a moment, then took out the damaged fixed light sword from the Taixu gourd, and took out a white gold brick from the storage ring.
This white gold brick is the family treasure of the Zhu family in Shadow Moon Mountain, the "Han Yue Treasure Gold"!
The biggest reason why Yun Suyi wanted to annihilate the Zhu family was to seize the "Hanyue Treasure Gold", and the piece of gold in Liang Yan's hands was the mother gold of the Yingyue Mountain mine, which had been sealed underground for tens of thousands of years. If
If he hadn't saved the Zhu family, I'm afraid the Zhu family leader would never have come up with this "Hanyue Treasure Gold" until his death.
At this time, the "Han Yue Treasure" is floating in the air, emitting a faint cold light. Even in the cave, the clear light of the cold moon is still flowing out from the cracks in the stone, crazily flowing into this white gold brick.
Gather.
"Sure enough, as Zhu Ping said, someone who can swallow the essence of the sun and the moon has already gained spirituality. I'm afraid it will take hundreds of years for this piece of 'cold moon gold' to give birth to his own sanity."
Liang Yan couldn't help but praise him.
The properties of this piece of "Hanyue Treasure Gold" are perfectly consistent with my own fixed-light sword, so it is perfect to be used as a material to repair the fixed-light sword.
I believe that after this repair, the Fixed Light Sword will not only be restored to its original state, but its power will also be greatly enhanced.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan couldn't help but smile.
The flying sword in my hand came from the first enemy I encountered on the road to cultivation!
Although the quality was very ordinary, Liang Yan never discarded it. Instead, he used various materials to strengthen and upgrade it, and it has been used until now.
The reason why he does this is to remind himself at all times that there are many dangers on the road to cultivation, and he cannot take it lightly at any time!
"Old friend, you have been with me the longest. In this retreat, I will also make you into a sword pill."
Liang Yan sighed with emotion, flicked the light-fixing sword, and then raised his hand to make a move, and a huge bronze stove appeared in the cave.
This stove is the "Blue Sea Furnace", which is made entirely of Beihai Xuanshi. It can be called the treasure of the Bihai Palace. Only the palace masters of the past dynasties are qualified to use it.
Liang Yan's face was calm. He first put the fixed light sword in his hand into the "Blue Sea Furnace", and then put the "Han Yue Treasure Gold" in mid-air and various materials that had been prepared in his storage ring one by one into the furnace.
middle,
As the magic formulas were shot out from Liang Yan's hands one after another, the "Blue Sea Furnace" lit up with flames.
"Hanyue Treasure Gold" can absorb the power of moonlight, which is perfectly consistent with the properties of the fixed light sword. At this time, under the influence of the "Blue Sea Furnace", it began to continuously repair the damaged fixed light sword.
Ten days.
In just ten days, relying on the magic of the "Blue Sea Furnace", Liang Yan easily repaired the Dingguang Sword, and at the same time integrated the "Han Yue Treasure" into the flying sword.
Zheng!
In the cave, Liang Yan flicked his finger, and a sword sound emitted from the "Blue Sea Furnace". Then the furnace lid was opened, and a silver-white sword light flew out from the furnace.
This sword light is different from the agility of Mayfly, the domineering power of Zi Lei, and the murderous intention of Black Lotus. The sword light is looming, like a beast hiding in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
"What a sword!"
Looking at the reborn Dingguang Sword, Liang Yan showed a hint of approval on his face.
"The Hanyue Treasure Gold is indeed extraordinary! Especially this piece of mother gold, it is definitely a rare sword training material. It seems that I have found a treasure this time!"
Liang Yan looked excited, murmured to himself, raised his hand and put the fixed light sword into his body.
Of his four flying swords: Mayfly, Purple Thunder, Black Lotus, and Dingguang, only the Mayfly Sword is still in use since Xuanyuan Territory and his party, and the other three swords have been temporarily sealed for various reasons.
Now that the repair of the Fixed Light Sword has been completed, Liang Yan naturally also wants to see the other two flying swords.
Calculating the time, the Black Lotus Sword and the Lotus Heart brought by Gou Qi have been fused for so long, it should be almost done.
Also, he made an agreement with the old tree spirit to give the other party the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Wood, and in return, the old tree spirit would help him upgrade his flying sword and infuse all the power of the thunder and lightning law contained in the sacred tree into the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword.
middle.
Now it's time to see the results.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan had a thought in his mind, and his consciousness entered the Taixu Gourd, and he soon found the old tree spirit on the edge of a mountain cliff.
