Two butterflies fluttered gently past his eyes. Qin Shaoyou subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the butterflies landed on the back of his hand.
The gentle wind blew his bun, as gentle as a girl's fingertips.
"The breath of heaven..."
"So that's it..."
A long sigh shocked Qin Shaoyou.
He immediately followed the sound and saw a scholar with gray temples appearing among the spiritual grasses all over the mountains and plains in the valley.
After Qin Shaoyou thought for a while, he already guessed that this was the true form of the spirit left behind by the owner of the cave.
He hurried forward and saluted respectfully:
"Qin Shaoyou, I have no intention of disturbing my senior..."
Unexpectedly, Li An didn't mean to blame Qin Shaoyou at all. On the contrary, he looked at Qin Shaoyou with a hint of "gratitude" in his eyes.
"My name is Li An, known as the Master Painter, but..."
Li An paused for a moment and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.
"It's a false reputation during your lifetime, so don't mention it..."
He looked at Qin Shaoyou and asked with some confusion:
"You are only at the Golden Core Realm, why do you have the heavenly aura in your body that can only be found at the God Transformation Realm?"
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and replied half-truthfully:
"I was fortunate enough to receive the inheritance from a senior in the realm of gods. This breath of heaven was given to me by him..."
The breath of heaven is as important as life to every monk in the realm of divine transformation. Only by obtaining the breath of heaven can they condense their spiritual thoughts and incarnate!
Li An showed an extremely envious expression when he heard this.
"This is really a great opportunity..."
He couldn't help but sigh.
He paused and then said:
"What you just saw was the most dangerous battle I have ever encountered in my lifetime."
"Back then, I was betrayed by my direct disciples, and my wife and children were killed by my enemies. I was seriously injured and filled with rage. Although I managed to escape by using the blood escape technique, I was left with inner demons, which ultimately prevented me from spying on the transformation.
Divine Realm..."
At this time, Li An became much calmer when he talked about that past event. Qin Shaoyou did not dare to interrupt and could only listen to his story quietly.
"I have practiced Taoism for more than 600 years in my life, and I have not achieved any great achievements. The only thing I can get my hands on is my original earth-level Taoist technique: Floating Cloud Technique!"
"According to the original rules, if you break my Liuyun Painting, you will get my inheritance, but..."
A look of helplessness appeared on Li An's face.
"Practice of my Flowing Cloud Technique must start at the Foundation Establishment stage, and you have already formed a golden elixir, so naturally you cannot practice it."
Qin Shaoyou was secretly frightened. He still remembered seeing the "Flowing Cloud Slash" move that Li An casually waved in the illusion. Its power was really shocking.
"Senior Taoist skills should be reserved for those who are destined to do so, and I should not dare to covet them."
He replied seriously.
"It's a pity that I don't have much time left..."
Li An sighed softly, and after pondering for a moment, his tone changed and he said:
"Since you can come here, it means that you and I still have some fate."
"How about this, let's make a deal?"
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but be more vigilant.
"What kind of deal do you want to do, senior?"
"The person outside the picture who asked you to come in to break the formation is named Yue Yue. This person is my direct disciple. She also betrayed my whereabouts back then. Now that she has come here, she wants to find the legacy I left behind.
In addition to the treasure, more than anything, I probably want to get the Soul Infant Fruit in my body."
Qin Shaoyou was shocked when he heard this. No wonder that Yangzi didn't come in personally to break the formation. It turned out that he had a ghost in his heart and didn't dare to face Li An!
The Soul Infant Fruit that Li An mentioned should be the fundamental reason why the two monks in the illusion were chasing him.
"My knowledge is limited, senior, can you tell me what this Soul Infant Fruit is?"
Li An nodded and replied:
"This Soul Infant Fruit is not a spiritual fruit. It is said to be a demonic fruit from the abyss. It rarely appears in the world. This object looks like a baby, and its attributes are not among the five elements. Taking this object can not only cultivate the second Nascent Infant.
, and it can also maintain youthfulness forever and has the effect of fixing the appearance..."
"This month, I was betrayed for a calming pill, let alone this Soul Infant Fruit. I'm afraid that once my restriction is broken, she will silence both of you..."
Li An said two things, which means that Wu Xingzhi is still in the illusion and has not come out.
Qin Shaoyou finally understood the whole story. He thought about it, nodded and asked:
"Then what do you want me to do, senior?"
"I left a lot of induction talismans in the Immortal Mansion in the Cave. Among those disciples, there are two Immortal Cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage. They are probably waiting for Chuyue to break the formation, and then they will snatch the treasures..."
"I can give you the Soul Infant Fruit, but if you find a way to create chaos, it's best..."
"Let those two people kill Chuyue."
Qin Shaoyou took a breath of air.
A cultivator from the Nascent Soul Realm sneaked into the Tianlang Sect?!
This is...
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind?
Could it be...
Those two people are in the same group as Bai Linger, and they are also from Miaoshenglou?
Bai Ling'er led him here and asked him to attract the attention of Tianlangmen, and then Miaoshenglou harvested the battlefield and reaped the benefits?!
What a trick to seduce Chen Cang!
Qin Shaoyou sneered in his heart, but he had already made up his mind.
"Senior, don't worry, I know what to do!"
Li An nodded and showed a happy smile.
"Although you can't practice Floating Cloud Technique, this Taoist art is my lifelong effort. If you have the chance, help me choose a successor. As a reward, I will send you to the secret room later. You have a chance
The time it takes to burn incense takes away all my things..."
"The Soul Infant Fruit and Taoist Jade Slips are placed on the table. You can see them at a glance. As for the other things, you can take your time and look at them yourself..."
After Li An finished speaking, he raised his hand and tapped it gently in the air, and a shadow appeared under Qin Shaoyou's feet. Within a few breaths, it turned into a black pit and swallowed Qin Shaoyou inside.
Then, the black pit disappeared and calm returned to the place.
Li An breathed a sigh of relief slowly.
But then, a sly smile appeared on his face.
Elsewhere, in a dark secret room, a circle of spiritual patterns suddenly lit up on the ground. The spiritual patterns wandered around, outlining a bright magic circle. There was only a dull buzzing sound, and the ground had accumulated hundreds of years of dust.
It shook open and Qin Shaoyou appeared here.
"Cough cough cough..."
Qin Shaoyou, who was caught off guard by the sudden rise of dust, suffered a slight loss. He then pushed out a palm to blow away the smoke and dust around him, and his vision gradually became clearer.
This is a five-foot-square room. The room is surrounded by wooden shelves with many bottles and cans placed on them.
In the middle of the room is a desk, on which are placed the Four Treasures of the Study, a light green wooden box, and a roll of pure white jade slips.
There was a pile of shabby clothes on the futon in front of the desk. Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but be in awe and saluted to the old clothes.
"Senior is offended!"
He quickly stepped forward and took the wooden box and jade slips in his hands.
Opening the wooden box, a sweet smell hit his face. Qin Shaoyou's eyes widened, and he saw a palm-sized "baby" lying in the middle of the wooden box. It had complete facial features and was lifelike. It looked like it was "sleeping peacefully".
This is the Soul Infant Fruit. Unlike Qin Shaoyou's imagination, this thing has not become shriveled over time, but has become more plump and smooth.
“What a good thing!”
Qin Shaoyou was overjoyed, immediately covered it and put it away, and carefully put it into the storage bag together with the jade slip.
Then, he started to look around.
Li An is known as the Master Painter, and the most abundant elixirs here are naturally the elixirs he refines. However, these elixirs do not have the "good luck" of the Soul Infant Fruit. After so many years, almost all of them have turned into gray-white powder.
One survived.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but murmur, is there only two kinds of "treasures" left by Li An?
Unwilling to give in, he rummaged around again and found a few storage bags, which contained some purple spirit stones.
"High-quality spiritual stone?"
This finally yielded some results. Without counting them in detail, Qin Shaoyou collected them directly.
Then he continued to explore, and in a corner, he saw a carved celadon jar with many scrolls inside. Qin Shaoyou took out a scroll and gently unfolded it. What appeared on the screen was an Orchid Pavilion by the water. Orchid Pavilion
There is a beautiful and refined girl with a smile on her face and colorful butterflies flying around her.
There are two lines of small print on the letter:
"The willows along the embankment are soft and soft, and the painting of the tower reflecting the water"
Marked next to: "My beloved wife Liu Yurun"
Qin Shaoyou smiled knowingly, it turned out that Li An was a sweetheart.
Gently rolling up the scroll and putting it back into the jar, Qin Shaoyou continued to look around. Soon, he found a black wooden box at the bottom of a wooden shelf.
This wooden box was much larger than the one he had just seen. He gently blew away the dust and opened it with a slight flip.
The things placed inside glowed with gleaming light.
"Cardenophylla!"
"Ullow roots!"
"Tian Feizhi!"
...
Qin Shaoyou's eyes also glowed with fluorescence. These spiritual herbs were well preserved, and most of them were of prefecture-level or above quality!
"Very good!"
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately put the wooden box away.
Then, he looked at the wooden frame again. After scanning, he found another wooden box.
At this time, Qin Shaoyou smiled so much that his mouth reached behind his ears.
However, his smile soon froze, because when he opened the wooden box, he found that there was nothing inside.
Empty!
Just when he started to mutter in his heart, the formation on the ground lit up again, and Qin Shaoyou knew it was time to leave.
"When the old woman comes in and doesn't find anything, she will definitely make me angry. Besides, if there is nothing, those two moles may not attack..."
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou immediately took the wooden box in his hand to the desk, placed it neatly, and then put a few pills he refined into it.
In order to make this "treasure" look more real, he "generously" affixed a prohibition talisman on it and sealed it.
After doing this, he hurriedly ran back to the formation. With another muffled sound, Qin Shaoyou disappeared from the spot.
