When I woke up in the morning, as soon as I finished practicing, the Dharma Protector Token on Li Yuan's body lit up.
The spiritual power fluctuates rapidly, which is the frequency of emergency communication.
Li Yuan poured spiritual power into it, and Chen Yi's voice came out from Token.
"Yuanyang Sect urgent summons order. We hope that all Foundation Establishment monks operating within the sect's sphere of influence will gather at Yunyang Marketplace within three days."
The tone was much more serious than usual.
Li Yuan Take away Token and continue practicing.
Three days later, in a courtyard of Yunyang Marketplace.
The courtyard is large enough to accommodate dozens of people. The lighting Spirit Stone is embedded in the wall, illuminating the entire space.
When Li Yuan arrived, there were already more than ten Foundation Establishment monks sitting in the courtyard. There were familiar faces and many new faces. Li Ze'an was sitting in the corner and nodded to Li Yuan. Zhao the Cultivator stood leaning against the wall, his expression as cold as ever.
Several more people came one after another, and finally more than twenty Foundation Establishment monks arrived.
There was a person standing on the stone platform in front of the courtyard.
He has a middle-aged face, gray-white robes, and a deep and restrained aura. Foundation Establishment's peak cultivation level cannot be suppressed, and the air in the entire courtyard becomes a little heavier.
Yuanyang Sect Elder.
Li Yuan has never seen this Elder before, but Chen Yi stood on the side of the stone platform with a respectful attitude, which shows that this person's status in the sect is not low.
Elder glanced at the people present, but there was no greeting.
"Everyone is here."
He took out a wooden box from his sleeve and opened the lid. Inside the box were dozens of palm-sized Token, made of dark silver material and densely engraved with Spirit Pattern on the surface.
"Each person gets one."
Chen Yi brought the wooden box down, and the monks Foundation Establishment present received it one by one.
When Li Yuan got Token, his fingers touched the surface of Token, and a subtle spiritual power fluctuation came from Spirit Pattern, seeping into the body along the palm of the hand, sweeping around the spiritual power layer on the body surface and then dissipated.
Like some kind of detection method.
The voice of Elder came from the front.
"The use of Token is very simple. Inject spiritual power, and the Spirit Pattern on Token will resonate with the spiritual power on your body. If there is magic energy left in the body, the resonance frequency will shift, and Token will change color and sound a warning sound."
He paused.
"Now, everyone activates Token at the same time."
There was a faint sound of Spiritual Qi Infusion in the courtyard.
More than twenty Tokens lit up with a light silver luster at the same time, and the spiritual energy fluctuations in Spirit Patterns spread out, resonating with the spiritual energy layer on each monk's body.
Li Yuan poured spiritual power into Token.
The silver luster circulates in a circle on the surface of Token, and the resonance between Spirit Pattern and the spiritual energy on the body's surface is stable and gentle.
No discoloration, no warning sound.
The Affix effect of Demonic Origin Avatar comes into play at this moment.
The demonic energy is completely absorbed without leaving any trace, and the traces of demonic cultivation in the body are completely covered.
Aura Concealment also has an effect on demonic energy. The Spirit Pattern detection of Token scans the spiritual power layer on the body surface, and only pure immortal spiritual power is sensed, without any fluctuation of demonic energy.
Li Yuan put Token on his lap with a calm expression.
Most of the Token in the courtyard maintain a stable silver luster with no abnormalities.
But the color of one Token changed.
The light silver luster was mixed with a hint of dark gray. The Spirit Pattern on the surface of Token jumped a few times and made a very light buzz.
Everyone's eyes were looking in that direction at the same time.
A male cultivator in his thirties, his complexion suddenly changed, and the Token in his hand trembled slightly.
Elder's eyes fell on him.
"Explain it."
The male cultivator did not panic. He took a deep breath and bowed.
"When I was exploring the depths of Withered River Beach three months ago, I accidentally entered a place Devil Cultivator Ruins. There was demonic energy left in Ruins. I stayed there for most of a long time before I found the exit. After I came out, I was contaminated with a trace amount of demonic energy, and it was never completely removed."
He took out two items from his storage bag and placed them in front of him.
A damaged Jade Slip, with traces of dark purple Spirit Pattern remaining on the surface. A black stone as big as a fist, with corrosion marks eroded by demonic energy on the stone surface.
"This is an item taken from Ruins, which can prove that Devil Cultivator Ruins was indeed entered."
Elder walked down the stone platform, picked up the Jade Slip and the black stone, and looked into it with his spiritual consciousness.
After a while, Elder put the item down.
"The residual characteristics of Ruins are consistent with the traces of demonic energy on his body."
He looked at the male cultivator.
"Temporarily released, but you will be included in the follow-up observation list. If the demonic energy does not dissipate on its own within three months, come to the sect for further inspection."
The male cultivator nodded quickly.
After the investigation, Elder returned to the stone platform and faced everyone.
"The investigation is only the first step. Let's get down to business."
The courtyard became quiet.
"Some people here already know something about Dark Abyss Society's situation." Elder's tone darkened. "But the sect has found new information recently."
"Behind Dark Abyss Society, it is basically certain that there is a larger Devil Cultivator force supporting and operating."
He paused and glanced at everyone present.
"The sect suspects that it is the Demon Sect who is fighting Qishui Sect next door."
There was a murmur of murmurs in the courtyard.
Li Yuan said nothing and wrote down this message.
Elder raised his hand and pressed it, and the discussion stopped.
"The sect has also found out most of the purpose of supporting Dark Abyss Society."
"They are looking for something. Treasury left behind by the previous Demon Sect."
Previous Demon Sect.
Elder continued.
"The previous Demon Sect was destroyed more than a hundred years ago. The sect was defeated by the righteous forces, and the remaining disciples fled in all directions. However, Treasury, the core of the Demon Sect, has never been found. Several sects that participated in the encirclement and suppression searched the old site of the Demon Sect, and the entrance to Treasury was not found."
The short-bearded monk suddenly spoke.
"Is Demon Sect's legacy worth the trouble?"
Elder shook his head and his tone became more serious.
"It doesn't have to be just a Devil Cultivator thing."
"Before the destruction of the Demon Sect, there was a Yuanying-level sect that suddenly collapsed for unknown reasons. The legacy of that Yuanying sect was probably partially absorbed by the Demon Sect into Treasury."
The legacy of the Nascent Soul level sect.
The discussion in the courtyard became even louder. A sect at the Nascent Soul level, even if it is only a small part of the inheritance, is a huge opportunity for the Foundation Establishment monks present.
Elder raised his hand again.
"The sect will handle this matter collectively, don't act on your own."
"Then let's talk about Token."
He pointed at the dark silver Token in everyone's hands.
"Token is left in your hands and can be used daily to detect suspicious persons you come into contact with. But there is one thing you must pay attention to."
His tone became a little more serious.
"If you find a suspicious person, report it to the sect through Dharma Protector Token as soon as possible. Do not act without authorization."
Elder After finishing speaking, he glanced at the people present.
"Remember everything?"
Everyone responded in unison.
The assembly ended, and the Foundation Establishment monks left the courtyard one after another.
Li Yuan did not return to Wulin Marketplace immediately after leaving the courtyard. He first went to the Cultivation Method shop of Yunyang Marketplace.
The target this time is Body Refining Cultivation Method.
Iron Wall Body Refining Art is already Perfection, and Iron Ox Technique is also Perfection. The upper limit of the two-door Body Refining Cultivation Method has been reached, but there is still room for physical strengthening. Fiend Origin Unification's Fiend Qi Body Tempering effect continues to operate, and Flame Marrow Body Nourishment's Monster Meat transformed body is also accumulated over a long period of time. The foundation of the body is much thicker than that of ordinary Foundation Establishment monks.
But there is a lack of a new Body Refining Cultivation Method to take over these accumulations.
There were not many Body Refining Cultivation Method in the Cultivation Method shop. After looking around, I picked out a Cultivation Method called Gold-Iron Body Refining Art.
Gold-Iron Body Refining Art focuses on the training of bones and Skin Membrane. After training, bone hardness and skin toughness will be greatly improved, complementing the muscle density enhancement of Iron Wall Body Refining Art.
Two hundred Spirit Stone, bought.
After returning to Wulin Marketplace, Li Yuan sat down cross-legged in the stone house, took out Gold-Iron Body Refining Art's Jade Slip, and poured his spiritual consciousness into it for study.
Cultivation Method's training methods are similar to Iron Wall Body Refining Art's. They both use spiritual power and Qi and Blood to flush the body, but the focus is different. Iron Wall Body Refining Art uses Muscle Fibers's repeated training, while Gold-Iron Body Refining Art uses bone micropores and Skin Membrane's perfusion and penetration of layers.
Li Yuan follows Cultivation Method's guidance and sends spiritual power and Qi and Blood into the bones.
Entry Level Extremely fast.
The moment the spiritual energy seeps into the micropores of the bones, it encounters almost no resistance.
The bones have been penetrated by Fiend Origin Unification's Fiend Qi Body Tempering effect for a long time, and the channels of micropores have long been opened. When the spiritual energy enters, it is like water flowing into a ditch that has been dug, unobstructed.
The same is true for the Skin Membrane layer. The tempered body of Fiend Qi is not divided into parts. Muscles, bones, skin, and internal organs have all been penetrated and strengthened. What Gold-Iron Body Refining Art has to do is to incorporate these existing reinforcements into the system framework of Cultivation Method, rather than transforming the body from scratch.
The situation is exactly the same as Soul Condensation Art.
The foundation is too strong, Cultivation Method is just sorting out the existing accumulation.
Entry Level to Proficiency, one day. Proficiency to Mastery, three days.
[Cultivation Method: Gold-Iron Body Refining Art--Mastery(0/800)]
The speed of cultivation far exceeded expectations.
Bone Marrow Tempering's Affix effect is also exerting force, and the drug's effect on promoting Body Tempering's technique is increased by 30%. Li Yuan takes Origin Cultivation Pill every day to assist in practice, and the effect of Medicinal Pill is amplified by nearly 30%, further accelerating the advancement of Gold-Iron Body Refining Art.
Coupled with Spirit-Blood Dual Cultivation's spiritual power Qi and Blood running simultaneously, Qi-Blood Vigor's Qi and Blood upper limit and recovery bonus, Golden Armor Body Protection's Body Tempering defense increase, and under the superposition of multiple Affix, Gold-Iron Body Refining Art's training efficiency is ridiculously high.
Li Yuan Stabilize the rhythm of practice and continue to advance.
