After another ten days, Li Yuan's practice entered a stable rhythm.
During the day, Cultivation Method, practice spells, and Talisman Making in between. At night, Demonic Origin Technique and Azure Wood Longevity Art operate alternately, and Fiend Origin Unification operates passively around the clock. Early Warning Array occasionally triggers several times, always First-Order Demon Beast accidentally entered the range, Li Yuan took action to deal with it and continued practicing.
In the afternoon of this day, Li Yuan was running Soul Condensation Art cross-legged, and his passive perception suddenly caught a breath.
There is Foundation Establishment monk, approaching from the outside direction of Ghost Mist Forest.
Approaching from the outside direction of Ghost Mist Forest, the speed is not fast, but the direction is very clear, heading straight for Station.
Li Yuan Open your eyes.
The aura is calm and thick, Spiritual Pressure is restrained, and the cultivation level is probably at Early Foundation Establishment.
Li Yuan extends his spiritual consciousness outwards and locks the position of the breath.
About one hundred and twenty feet away, I was walking along a small path deep in Ghost Mist Forest. The thick fog blocked my sight, but my consciousness could clearly outline the outline of the person.
He is of medium build, walks steadily and leisurely.
Li Yuan Concentrate on identifying the characteristics of this breath. It is not the breath that you have felt before.
It is somewhat similar to another person.
Li Ze'an.
Foundation Establishment monk of the Li Family.
But it's not Li Ze'an himself. Li Ze'an's aura has been remembered by Affix.
The aura of this person is eighty-nine times similar to Li Ze'an, but there are subtle differences.
Another Foundation Establishment monk from the Li Family?
Li Family has only two Foundation Establishment monks, Li Ze'an and Li Family Patriarch. Li Family Patriarch is an old Foundation Establishment monk, and his aura should be weak. This person's aura does not look like that of an elderly person.
The distance of the visitor shortened to eighty feet, entering the Early Warning Array range arranged by Li Yuan himself. Induction Jade of Early Warning Array lit up slightly, sending out a warning signal.
The visitor paused for a moment, as if he noticed the presence of Early Warning Array.
Then keep going forward.
Sixty feet. Forty feet.
The figure of the visitor emerged from the thick fog.
He has a face in his thirties and ordinary features. He is wearing a dark brown robe with no logo on it. There is a storage bag and a Short Saber hanging on his waist.
His eyes fell on Li Yuan and stayed there for two breaths.
It's not a casual glance when passing by, but a purposeful look.
Li Yuan sat where he was and didn't move, nor did he get up.
The visitor stopped twenty feet away and raised his hand towards Li Yuan.
"Fellow Daoist."
"Who are you?"
The visitor smiled and sounded polite.
"My surname is Fang, Rogue Cultivator. I heard that fellow Daoist monks have been cultivating at Ghost Mist Forest for a long time and are good at absorbing and utilizing Fiend Qi, so I came here to visit."
His eyes glanced at the thick Fiend Qi fog surrounding the clearing.
"I have a business deal that I would like to discuss with fellow Daoist."
He took out a black jade bottle from his storage bag and shook it in his hand.
"Fiend Qi. A large amount of concentrated Fiend Qi. We can supply it for a long time, and the price is negotiable."
Supply Fiend Qi to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan glanced at him.
The person who came has a demonic aura.
Demonic Origin Avatar's perception effect clearly captured the residual demonic energy deep inside the person's body. The concentration was not low, and was several times thicker than the residue on Huode Marketplace's passers-by.
This is not an accidental exposure to demonic energy, but a trace of long-term practice of demonic power.
And his breath is similar to monk Li Family Foundation Establishment.
Li Yuan is not broken, the expression is dull.
"What's the price?"
The visitor's smile became deeper.
"One bottle of concentrated Fiend Qi, fifty Spirit Stone. I have thirty bottles in stock, and we can continue to supply them in the future."
He handed Black Jade Bottle forward.
"Fellow Daoist, you can inspect the goods first."
Li Yuan stood up and took two steps towards the visitor.
"Okay."
The visitor's eyes flashed slightly.
Li Yuan stopped when he was ten feet away.
The action of the person who handed over the jade bottle suddenly changed.
The posture of holding the bottle in his right hand suddenly tightened, and he took out his left hand from his sleeve, and a ball of dark green spiritual power lit up in his palm. The spiritual power was mixed with strong demonic energy, and it blasted towards Li Yuan's face.
The speed is extremely fast and the distance is extremely close.
The dark green spiritual power is wrapped in the corrosiveness of the demonic energy, and the sound of breaking through the air is sharp and ear-piercing.
Li Yuan's body started to move half a breath before the attack came.
Spirit Sense Clarity's passive perception captured the abnormal gathering of spiritual power at the moment the visitor took action. Breath Concealment and Trace Elimination's suppression of presence caused the visitor to misjudge Li Yuan's reaction speed.
Li Yuan turned sideways to avoid the dark green spiritual power group and raised his right hand.
Fire Python Technique.
The crimson Fire Snake shot out from the palm of his hand and went straight to the person's chest.
The visitor's reaction was not slow either. He flipped his left hand and a small dark shield appeared out of thin air and blocked it in front of him.
Fire Snake collided with Dark Small Shield and exploded. Hot flames splashed around, forcing the incoming person to take three steps back.
A crack appeared on the surface of the small shield, but it was not broken.
The visitor's expression changed.
He obviously did not expect Li Yuan's reaction speed and attack power. After a test attack, he immediately changed his strategy, formed seals with his hands, and dark green spiritual power quickly rotated around him, forming a spiritual shield mixed with demonic energy.
At the same time, his right hand pulled out the Short Saber from the storage bag, and the dark red Spirit Pattern lit up on the blade.
Li Yuan didn't give him a chance to breathe.
Raise your left hand, Origin Condensation Formula.
The spiritual power is instantly highly compressed in the Dantian, and the density soars.
Raise your right hand again, Fire Python Technique.
This shot of Fire Snake was twice as thick as before, and Spiritual Qi Density reached an extremely high level with the blessing of Origin Condensation Formula. Fire Snake dragged a scorching wave of air straight towards the person.
The incoming man waved his sword to block.
The dark red Spirit Pattern on Short Saber collided with Fire Snake, making a harsh hiss. The impact of Fire Snake pushed the person's body back five steps, and two deep marks were plowed out of the ground under his feet.
The dark green spiritual shield was consumed rapidly by Fire Snake's burning, and it shattered in less than two breaths.
The visitor's face was pale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
His expression became frightened, and he turned around and ran away.
Wind Escape Technique urges the body to rise.
Li Yuan tapped the ground with his toes, Wind Escape Technique activated simultaneously, and his body rose into the air to catch up.
The attacker's flying speed was not slow, but Li Yuan's total spiritual power and continuous output far exceeded the opponent. After less than thirty feet of pursuit, the distance was shortened to less than ten feet.
Li Yuan Raise your right hand.
Gold Blade Technique.
Silver-white blade light shot out from the fingertips, and Gold Edge Enhancement and Barrier-Breaking Penetration were added simultaneously.
The blade light cut into the back of the intruder, penetrated the remaining spiritual protection, and emerged from the chest.
The person's body froze in the air for a moment, Wind Escape Technique's spiritual power continued to break, and his body fell from the air and hit the ground heavily.
Li Yuan dropped his figure and walked to the side of the visitor.
The visitor was lying on his back on the ground, the wound on his chest was still bleeding, and his breath was rapidly declining. His eyes were still open, his mouth was open, but he made no sound.
After a few breaths, the breath completely dissipated.
Li Yuan squatted down, took off the storage bag from the waist, opened it and looked through it.
There aren't many things in the storage bag.
There are a few pieces of Law Artifact, First-Order Mid-Grade of average quality to low-grade products, with various types, as if they were collected from different places. Dozens of pieces of Spirit Stone are scattered in the corner. Two bottles of Medicinal Pill have blurred labels and poor quality.
There is also a bottle filled with blood. The smell of this blood is almost identical to Li Ze'an.
Then there is a special item.
A fist-sized Dark Grey Orb, densely engraved with Spirit Pattern on the surface, the spiritual power fluctuations are extremely weak but very complex.
Li Yuan picked up the ball and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
The Spirit Pattern structure inside the ball is a kind of Breath Simulation Array, which can replace the user's breath characteristics with another preset breath pattern.
Law Artifact with disguised aura.
There is another item at the bottom of the storage bag.
A flag.
The length of the flag is about one and a half feet, which is one size smaller than Li Yuan and Fiend Spirit Banner. The flag pole is made of dark black iron and the surface of the flag is dark purple, with faintly twisted lines visible on the surface.
A large amount of energy is stored in the flag.
Not Fiend Qi.
It's demonic energy.
Rich, heavy, and highly corrosive demonic energy.
This banner is a magic energy storage device, filled with a high concentration of magic energy.
Li Yuan Pick up the flag and place your fingers on the flag pole.
Panel popped out.
[Equipable item detected: Demonic Fiend Banner (complete)]
[Equipment Affix preview: Demonic Fiend Refinement (green)--When absorbing demonic energy, the meridians can be tempered simultaneously, and the upper limit of the meridians' ability to carry spiritual power and demonic energy is increased by 30%]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Absorb thirty demonic energies of Second-Order and above quality in total (0/30)]
[The current Equipment Slot is full (5/5), do you want to replace the current equipment?]
Green Trait.
Li Yuan put Demonic Fiend Banner into the storage bag and stood up.
The concentration of the demonic energy on the visitor's body, the Law Artifact that disguises the aura, and the flag that stores a large amount of demonic energy, these three things point to a conclusion.
Demon Sect remnants.
He used the excuse of supplying Fiend Qi to get close to him, and then wanted to kill him.
The actual purpose is unclear. Li Yuan has a few guesses in mind, but cannot define it.
Li Yuan Clean up the body of the future person and the useless sundries in the storage bag, then return to Station and sit down in the open space.
