Li Yan heard this and looked into the distance.
I saw that the person who came was unusually tall, a head taller than Sha LiFei, with muscles all over his body, and his robes were dirty and had many burn holes.
The most eye-catching thing is his hair.
The other person had dark red hair on his head, which was tied up casually with a hairband and was messy and disheveled.
This kind of hair color is rare and looks like it is stained by blood.
His facial features are deep and he seems to have a bit of Hu ancestry.
After Li Yan saw it, he secretly became vigilant in his heart.
He has already guessed who this person is...
However, the distance between the two Fang Xiangs was less than a hundred meters, but they did not notice that the other party was approaching at all. There can only be two reasons:
One is that the other party is too advanced and uses secret techniques.
The second is that I carry National Sacrifice Divine Artifact with me.
Sure enough, Ling Yunzi smiled and introduced, "Young Hero Li, this is Master Fire Tuo. I heard you arrived and came to meet you in person..."
"Don't say it so nicely!"
Before he finished speaking, Fire Tuo strode over, looked Li Yan up and down with a pair of sharp eagle eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I have been waiting for you on the mountain for a long time, why are you here?"
It wasn't Qingcheng Mountain but it was a little messy before...
Li Yan was slandering in his heart, but with a trace of apology on his face, he said, "I was delayed by something on the way. I had long wanted to come and visit my senior."
"Hmm."
This Fire Tuo didn't seem to be humane at all. He was too lazy to say polite words and said coldly, "I'm here. I just want to ask you one thing. Who hit that knife of yours?"
It turned out to be this reason.
Li Yan felt a chill in his heart when he heard it.
His Severing Dust Blade was forged by a reclusive master on Mount Hua.
Although he still doesn't know his name, when he was in Ezhou, Master Lu from Zezhou Prefecture saw his knife and praised him very much, saying that his skills were better than his own.
This master kept his name anonymous, perhaps for some reason.
Thinking of this, Li Yan shook his head directly and said, "Sorry, I promised others not to leak this matter."
"Hmph!"
After listening to this, Fire Tuo's eyes were overflowing with murderous intent, "Don't do this, I don't know that you people are just trying to ignore the rabbit. Tell me, what conditions do you want?"
"Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, or a magic weapon?"
As he spoke, he took another step forward.
As soon as it got closer, Li Yan immediately noticed something unusual.
The opponent was tall and had the ferocious aura of a ferocious beast. Moreover, he did not know what kind of magic he had practiced, and his aura around his body was filled with a fiery heat, like a big furnace.
It's Firm Strength!
Li Yan The back muscles immediately tightened.
He already knows something about Firm Strength.
After holding the elixir, the will and physical strength of the whole body are unified, and the fist intention is carried out when waving the hand, which can trigger the Gangsha Energy attack.
It is not afraid of ordinary spells, and its lethality is astonishing.
Unexpectedly, this Weapon Refinement Grandmaster is also a master of Martial Arts.
Li Yan took two steps back, his eyes also turned cold, Soul Hooking Chain was ready to start at any time, and said in a deep voice, "I can't say it, I just can't say it. I respect you as a senior, don't play this trick with me!"
"You two, don't..."
Ling Yunzi next to me was very worried and quickly stopped him.
Li Yan is a distinguished guest arranged by the master personally.
Fire Tuo is Weapon Refinement Grandmaster, which is quite respected in the mountains.
Why did they start a fight just because they disagreed?
No matter who is injured, it will be a big problem for him.
Unexpectedly, Fire Tuo ignored him at all, but stared at Li Yan. After being silent for a long time, he said, "Okay, he is a man."
"I just want to know that he... is still alive."
As he spoke, he had regained his momentum and had a hint of hope.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.
"That's good."
Fire Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left, "Come with me, go see your sword, others should not follow."
This move is simply inexplicable and strange.
Li Yan thought for a moment, shook his head slightly at Wang Dao Xuan, telling him not to worry, and then followed closely.
As if hearing his footsteps, Fire Tuo accelerated suddenly.
The opponent was walking Four Directions Step, with his tattered Daoist robes and big sleeves waving, and snow flying under his feet. He looked like he was just walking normally, but his speed was astonishingly fast.
Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his feet also Hidden Strength exploded.
The two of them walked in tandem and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
This Fire Tuo seems to be deliberately testing Li Yan.
Whenever Li Yan approaches, Fire Tuo accelerates again, and Martial Power erupts under its feet, accompanied by a "dong-dong-dong" sound, the snow splashes everywhere, and even the surrounding ice breaks.
This is purely physical power.
Li Yan is not surprised that the other party can do this.
Fire Tuo itself is extremely strong and has reached the level of Firm Strength. If it breaks out, I am afraid that the current Wu Ba will also be suppressed.
But the physical skills competition is not just about strength.
The opponent only relied on sheer strength and was huge in size.
Li Yan has a nimble figure, but gradually closes the distance.
"Hahaha... it's interesting!"
Fire Tuo laughed loudly in front of him and suddenly used his magic skills. His footwork began to change. The wind roared around him and he suddenly jumped into the air.
The opponent jumped and jumped, as if he had completely lost weight. His body was dexterous, and he deviated directly from the mountain road, galloping and leaping on the cliff covered with snow and solid ice.
It feels like a spiritual deer.
Stilt Walking Technique!
Li Yan After seeing it, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The most famous one of Qingcheng Mountain is undoubtedly Stilt Walking Technique. It is rumored that it was left by the ancient immortals Guang Chengzi and Ning Fengzi.
It is not only the Leaping on Land technique, but also the method of the Sword Immortal.
According to rumors, there are three types: Dragon Stilt, Tiger Stilt, and Deer Stilt.
Li Yan made a point of asking about it before he came.
The so-called Dragon Stilt, refining the body and Qi, and being in harmony with the Tao, can make clouds come from the foot. Those who are walking on rockers are people who follow the Tao. If they want to swim Blessed Grotto-Heavens, all evil spirits and monsters will not dare to approach.
This is the legendary method of immortals, which has long been lost.
Perhaps it is also related to the changes in the two qi of Gangsha between heaven and earth.
Just like Savage Wilderness in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is no longer in its glory, now warlocks can no longer use the technique of Dragon Stilt.
Tiger Stilt is the mother of wind and the son of water. After three years of use, the tiger will ride on the wind to come and go, just like the wind moving the fallen leaves and flying into the air. When gathered, they will form a shape, and when they disperse, they will become the wind, and they will mix with the positive yang energy of heaven and earth.
This method is the Qingcheng Mountain most Higher Vehicle method.
It is rumored that Sword Immortal Cheng has mastered this technique. With Flying Sword Technique, Central Plains and Grandmasters can rank in the top three.
The Fire Tuo in front of us uses Deer Stilt.
Husband Deer Stilt is always a person who can help those who follow the Tao. They can travel thousands of miles a day. If they encounter a deer, they can pick Ganoderma lucidum and know their direction...
It's much faster than ordinary escape techniques.
Li Yan had no choice but to pull out a piece of armor, quickly tie it to his leg, pinch Mystical Gestures, cast North Emperor Swift Travel Technique, and then he could barely keep up.
The two of them walked in tandem, like a strong wind passing over the mountains.
If someone looks from a high altitude, they can see two human figures passing through the mountain, ignoring the dense forest and dangerous ravines, accompanied by strong winds and snowflakes along the way, resembling two snow dragons.
This time, it caused trouble.
Before, Lingyun Zhi led Li Yan up the mountain and deliberately avoided many places. Now he passed directly by it, and the Gouliao kept generating reactions.
Not only that, Li Yan also noticed a lot of prying eyes.
This guy is out of his mind!
Li Yan cursed secretly in his heart and pretended not to see it.
Fortunately, Qingcheng Mountain is eight hundred miles away, and most of the practitioners on the mountain are concentrated in palaces, temples, or places where Innate Firm Qi is abundant.
After climbing two mountains, the gazes gradually became less and less.
Not long after, they arrived at the back mountain.
I saw ravines and cliffs all along the way, including winter streams, gurgling water under the solid ice, and collapsed ancient plank roads. The terrain was dangerous and the light became dim.
Whoosh!
After running for a long time, Fire Tuo suddenly stopped.
Li Yan also tore off his armor and dropped it to the ground.
But what he saw was a valley in front of him. One side of the mountain collapsed to form a canyon, and the other side was surrounded by mountains on three sides, like a dustpan.
The surrounding mountains are steep and there is only one trail leading to the outside world.
In the valley, there are thatched cottages, cultivated fields, and a huge blast furnace and blacksmith shop. The surroundings are covered with snow, and the fire in the furnace has not been extinguished.
Fire Tuo turned his back to Li Yan and suddenly sighed.
"He is my senior brother..."
"When I was young, I always wanted to argue with each other, but now it's no longer interesting. He just wants to live."
"If you meet him by chance in the future, please tell me that I was jealous of his talent when I kept fighting with him."
So that's it...
Li Yan suddenly realized it, but his expression remained unchanged.
The so-called knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts.
Anyway, he has made up his mind. Since he has agreed not to reveal the secrets of the senior in Huashan, no matter what the other party says, he will not reveal a word.
On the other side, after Fire Tuo finished talking about the matter, he stopped mentioning it and strode into the room and took out a wooden box.
After opening it, there was a long knife inside.
The handle is dark gold in color, made of an unknown metal, and looks like a dragon circling around. It opens its teeth and claws to form a swallowing mouth. The scales are fine and can be used to prevent slipping.
The blade is in the shape of dark jade, with fine horny lines. If you look carefully, those lines are all smaller branch-like thunder patterns.
It was Flood Dragon Horn that he got after killing the dragon.
What makes Li Yan strange is that this knife is exactly the same as his Severing Dust Blade regardless of its shape or size.
"The dragon's horn has five colors, which are used to deal with the five energy. This horn belongs to metal and water, and has thunder patterns. I heard that you are good at thunder, so it is just right..."
Fire Tuo explained a few words, seeming to notice the strange look in his eyes, and snorted directly, "Senior brother used Bone Measuring Method. This is my master's secret method, and it is most suitable for you. If I change it randomly, wouldn't it be superfluous!"
Li Yan quickly handed over his hand, "That's what senior said."
"Bring your knife!" Fire Tuo ordered again.
Li Yan is no nonsense, take off Severing Dust Blade and offer it with both hands.
Clang!
Fire Tuo drew the sword out of its sheath. After looking at it carefully, he nodded and said, "Good sword. I used lightning strike Shoushan Copper Essence. The material is mediocre. Senior brother has used it to its limit. Sure enough, the sword is not old!"
Having said that, he turned over the handle of the knife and saw Twelve Yuan Chen Copper Coins on it. He frowned and said, "After using this method, your skills were still far behind, right?"
"At that time, the Dao and Xing were two-level, and the thunder method was not yet perfect."
Li Yan Hand your hands respectfully and answer truthfully.
"Oh?"
Fire Tuo was a little surprised and glanced at Li Yan, "This sword was forged last year. You do have some talent. It's not a way to humiliate your senior brother."
He said, thinking for a moment, "Originally I wanted to play it safe, but with your qualifications, I'm afraid it won't take more than a few years."
"Do you dare to take a gamble?"
Li Yan frowned slightly, "Senior, please explain clearly."
Fire Tuo said in a deep voice, "Using Twelve Yuan Chen Coins to store lightning techniques is a trick. When the Daoism is weak, it can be used as a surprise move, but when faced with a strong enemy, it becomes useless."
"This Flood Dragon Horn is born with the ability to store thunder, but instead of using it for storage, it is better to use Echoing Iteration Method to amplify it."
"Made with my secret method, when using the sword, the thunder method can cause the thunder to reverberate and overlap, gathering the blade, making it even more powerful."
"But all things have gains and losses. Using this method, Lei Gang consumes a lot. The higher the Daoism, the greater the power."
"When facing the enemy in battle, if you are exhausted and unable to use the thunder method, then this sword can only rely on the power of the dragon, which is only slightly stronger than ordinary magic weapons..."
"Of course, there is another option, which is the golden mean. The power of the magical weapon remains unchanged, and it can also be used as a treasure to suppress the teaching of a small sect."
After listening to his explanation, Li Yan finally understood.
There are two options, conservative and radical.
If you were an ordinary person, you would probably choose a conservative plan. After all, the thunder method is inherently difficult and cannot be used for a long time.
But Li Yan is different.
He has Soul Hooking Lightning Rope. If he completes the tasks issued by Lei Mansion, he can also obtain the Divine Thunder Gang and cast it continuously.
Radical methods are actually more suitable.
"Senior, please give it your best!"
Thinking of this, Li Yan chose the first option without hesitation.
"Okay!"
Fire Tuo nodded and said, "Originally, you can perform the tempering today, but according to your choice, it will take a few more days."
Then he picked up Severing Dust Blade and said, "This Mountain Thunder Copper Essence is also rare. You can make a scabbard and keep it warm. Come back to me in five days."
After saying that, he entered the thatched house without looking back.
Li Yan cupped his hands and turned to leave.
He could already tell that this Fire Tuo had a weird temper and was a bit difficult to deal with. The reason why he could talk to him so much was probably because of his senior brother.
Although I felt a little empty without my weapons, it was too late to say anything more.
There are naturally rules on Qingcheng Mountain.
After all, he is an outsider. When he came, he could still use Fire Tuo as an excuse to walk alone. If he used Divine Travel Technique, he would not give Qingcheng face and could only walk along the mountain road.
Even with his extraordinary foot strength, it took him an hour to return to Chaoyang Cave.
"Young Hero Li, are you okay?"
Ling Yunzi, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly came forward to ask.
"It's okay, senior Fire Tuo is helping to refine the weapon."
Li Yan didn't say much.
"That's good."
Ling Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said thoughtfully, "According to the master's arrangement, I originally went to see Master Fire Tuo today, and I will take you to Laojun Temple tomorrow to meet Jue Chenzi Martial Grandfather."
"In that case, let's go today."
Hearing this, Li Yan was a little embarrassed, "Isn't it inappropriate to come to the door temporarily?"
To be honest, he was a little scared.
North Emperor Sect has an extremely evil reputation. If he really wants to be forced to join it and worship North Emperor Black Laws, that would not be a good thing.
"It doesn't matter."
Ling Yunzi smiled and said, "Jue Chenzi Martial Grandfather has already given instructions, and I can take you there directly."
"That's fine."
Li Yan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Laojun Temple is at the highest point of Qingcheng Mountain and Peng Zu Peak is the top. Going from Chaoyang Cave requires climbing over mountains and ridges.
On the way, Li Yan finally couldn't help but ask, "North Emperor Sect can be considered a major Daoist sect, but has it declined to this point now?"
Ling Yunzi shook his head and said, "Jue Chenzi Martial Grandfather, not just Beidi, but Earthly Deity Sect."
"This lineage is the 30th generation Celestial Master Zhang JiXian, founded on the basis of the North Emperor Sect Daoism and worshiping North Pole Purple Micro Great Emperor."
After saying that, he hesitated and said in a low voice, "If there is a chance, Young Hero Li would be better off agreeing to it. This lineage has a wonderful ability to control Pressing Qi's luck."
Li Yan was stunned, "What kind of magic?"
Ling Yunzi looked around and explained in a low voice, "Zhang JiXian Celestial Master's successor disciple is Celestial Master Sa."
"This lineage is not only good at thunder magic, but also Summon Marshal Wen law protector!"
