After the confrontation between Jin Dan, Ghost Mist Forest became quiet for a few days.
This kind of silence is not really peaceful.
Yuanyang Sect's frontline personnel did not retreat, and Fiend Demon Sect's side did not disperse either. The two sides stared at each other across the perimeter of Ruins and several key areas, and neither one pierced the last layer of paper first.
What actually spread to Fangshi first was another kind of news.
Fiend Demon Sect Another Foundation Establishment monk entered Liang Province.
There were a lot of them, but the number of routes was different from that of Dark Abyss Society. This group of people did not cause trouble in Fangshi, Outpost and surrounding villages and towns, nor did they deliberately set fires and kill people. It was more like they came in groups to the edge of Liang Province and around Ghost Mist Forest to show their deterrence.
Soon people in the city were spreading the news.
Some people say that Fiend Demon Sect is going to take big action, some say that things are going to change at Liang Province, and some people simply start to quietly pack up their belongings and prepare to retreat a little further.
Li Yuan was in Mineral Vein Dao when he heard the news.
The Cultivation Method of Fiend Vein is still moving forward. After the first piece of Mid-Grade Fiend Stone stabilized and solidified, the overall Backflow of Mineral Vein Dao was obviously smoother.
Now I use Fiend Vein perception to see that not only the direction of Fiend Qi inside and outside Mineral Vein Dao is clearer, but also the stratigraphic changes further away are beginning to be revealed little by little.
On this day, Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the depths of Natural Hollow, closing his eyes and adjusting his breath.
Fiend Qi continued to flow into the body along Fiend Vein Special Equipment, and was shunted away by Fiend Origin Unification. When the week was over, his consciousness spread out, and coupled with the newly permanent Fiend Qi Perception, many things in the underground that were previously vague became clearer than before.
Mineral Vein Dao The abnormality Backflow on the periphery is still there.
But unlike before, this time, after that Backflow, he vaguely touched something deeper, farther, and heavier.
Not Fiend Qi.
That thing was hidden very deep, like a thick vein buried behind a larger stratum, with only a little shadow occasionally leaking through the faults and Backflow. If Fiend Vein hadn't sensed it more clearly than before, Li Yuan might not even have been able to touch this line.
main vein.
In other words, it is like a little outline left by the main vein of Large Spirit Vein.
Li Yuan There is no rush, just write down the direction and approximate location, and then continue to run Cultivation Method steadily.
During this time, Azure Wood Longevity Art was not left behind either.
Compared with the feeling of Soul Condensation Art rushing upwards in one breath, Azure Wood Longevity Art is more like a long stream of water. Every time it circulates, the wood spirit energy slowly spreads from the depths of the meridians, first passing through the organs, then moistening the flesh and blood, and finally leaving a vague sense of vitality all over the body.
This kind of accumulation usually doesn't show up, but it can be suppressed day by day, and changes will eventually come.
In the second half of this night's practice, when Azure Wood Longevity Art finished the last week, the wood spirit energy that was originally scattered throughout the meridians suddenly connected into a line, as if it had slowly merged from scattered streams into a more stable water vein. Cultivation Method's operation suddenly became much smoother, and the long-lasting vitality in the body also lifted up.
Panel shook slightly.
[Cultivation Method: Azure Wood Longevity Art--Mastery(0/800)]
Finally arrived Mastery.
Li Yuan breathed out slowly, and when he opened his eyes, his vision seemed to be a little clearer. His longevity continued to grow, but not by much.
At noon the next day, Chen Yi came.
When he entered Management Office this time, his expression was a little weirder than the previous times, as if he was troubled or suppressing some unhappiness.
Li Yuan poured him a cup of tea and asked directly, "Has there been any change on the front line?"
"Yes." Chen Yi took the tea but didn't drink it. "That Fiend Demon Sect golden elixir made a request."
Li Yuan looked at him.
"He wants to see your Fiend Vein."
The room was quiet for a moment.
Li Yuan's brows moved slightly, which was not too surprising.
Previously, Dark Abyss Society's people had inquired about Fiend Ore and Mineral Vein Dao's clues, and later when they closed the network, they also clearly regarded Fiend Ore as one of the targets. Now that Fiend Demon Sect Jin Dan has personally come to the rescue, it is not surprising that he would focus on this place.
"Yuanyang Sect agreed?" Li Yuan asked.
"I didn't agree directly, and I didn't refuse directly." Chen Yi rubbed his eyebrows, "The reason he gave was very simple. Dark Abyss Society had found clues about Fiend Vein before. Now that the two sides are confronting Ghost Mist Forest, he has to personally confirm whether there is anything wrong with this Fiend Vein."
"Where's the sect?"
"The ancestor of the sect also wanted to take a look." Chen Yi looked at him, "And he also said it in front of the Fiend Demon Sect golden elixir. This is his Foundation Establishment Dharma Protector's Fiend Vein. It is not the public property of the sect and cannot be tampered with."
As soon as this was said, the meaning was obvious.
Li Yuan thought for a while and only asked one question.
"I think it's ok, what about compensation?"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"I knew you asked this first."
"That Fiend Demon Sect Jindan said on the spot that if he didn't look at it in vain, he would make up for it. The sect didn't stop him either. After all, he really didn't let him look at it at all. On the contrary, it seemed like there was a ghost in this place."
Li Yuan nodded.
At this point, there is actually not much room left. The Jindan level is targeting it, so there is no point in blocking it. Fortunately, Fiend Vein itself is special equipment. As long as the equipment is still on him, the entire perception and information flow of Mineral Vein Dao is under his control.
Others can see Mineral Vein Dao, and even perceive the shade of Fiend Qi, but they cannot see the part of it that is truly open to them at the level of special equipment.
This is where Li Yuan feels truly at ease.
Half a day later, several people arrived at the entrance of Mineral Vein Dao.
Li Yuan walked in the front, Chen Yi accompanied him, and behind him were two figures with a deep and almost oppressive aura. One was the Yuanyang Sect Jindan that he had seen before, and the other was in a black robe with wide sleeves and was silent. It was obviously the Fiend Demon Sect Jindan.
Fiend Qi inside Mine Tunnel was originally very heavy, but after these two people came in, the Qi flow just spread naturally, and the surrounding Fiend Qi seemed to be separated by a layer.
Li Yuan led people all the way down, his face calm, but his heart was always tense.
Usually those nodes, Backflow, deep quality changes, and peripheral abnormal fluctuations will naturally be opened to him.
But now Li Yuan has made preparations yesterday, and the information that can be revealed in the entire Fiend Vein has been condensed, leaving only the most superficial part of Mineral Vein Dao's true face.
At Natural Hollow, the two golden elixirs finally stopped.
Yuanyang Sect Jin Dan first scanned around and said nothing. Fiend Demon Sect Jin Dan slowly raised his hand, and a little gray light spread out from his fingertips, slowly spreading out along the cavity and several branch roads.
The gray light didn't touch Li Yuan, it just circulated in Mineral Vein Dao.
Li Yuan can clearly feel that the opponent's consciousness and mana are exploring Mineral Vein Dao's depth layer by layer.
If it were an ordinary Mineral Vein Dao, many secrets would be uncovered after such a probe. But it is different now. The part of Fiend Vein that is actually connected to the special equipment seems to be behind another layer of film. When Fang's consciousness swept over, he saw only the circulation of Mineral Vein Dao, Fiend Stone, Fiend Qi, and some normal traces left by Cultivation Array recently.
A full quarter of an hour passed before Fiend Demon Sect Jin Dan took back his hand.
"Ordinary Fiend Vein." He said calmly, "The appearance has slightly improved, as if someone had Cultivation Method the day after tomorrow, but that's it."
Yuanyang Sect Jin Dan also spoke at this time, "It's just Fiend Vein. If there are really other clues, Dark Abyss Society should have dug up the news here long ago."
Fiend Demon Sect Jin Dan did not answer this, but turned to look at Li Yuan.
"Are you Dharma Protector from this city?"
"Yes." Li Yuan handed over.
Fiend Demon Sect Something flew out of the golden elixir sleeve, fell in the air, and stopped in front of Li Yuan, "Compensation."
It was a dark blue bead about the size of a thumb, with a restrained luster on the surface, and a faint wisp of black air flowing slowly inside.
Li Yuan reached out to catch it, and when his palm touched it, Panel popped out.
[Equipable item detected: Demon Transformation Bead (complete)]
[Equipment Affix preview: Demonic Art Enhancement (green)]
[Effect: The speed of practicing magic skills is increased by 30%, and the speed of absorbing magic energy is increased by 30%]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Cultivate a magic skill to Perfection(0/1)]
[The current Equipment Slot is full (5/5), do you want to replace the current equipment?]
Green Trait.
Li Yuan only glanced at it and then pressed Panel down without revealing any strange color.
On the other hand, Chen Yi looked a little subtle next to him.
The compensation given by the Fiend Demon Sect Jindan happened to be something related to magic power. This kind of thing cannot be said to be good or bad.
If it were anyone else, he would probably have to hesitate whether he could accept it. But Li Yuan knew in his heart that this bead was not useless to him, but rather very practical. However, Equipment Slot was full at the moment, so it was not his turn for the time being.
After the Fiend Demon Sect Jindan gave away the things, he did not stay in Mineral Vein Dao for a long time and turned around to leave Mine Tunnel.
Yuanyang Sect Jin Dan took one more look at Li Yuan before leaving.
"Keep the city safe these days."
"Yes."
After the two golden elixirs left, Li Yuan came out Mineral Vein Dao.
It's still bright outside, and someone at Spirit Field in the south of Fang City has already begun to collect the first batch of usable low-level Spirit Herb.
After Li Yuan returned to the stone house, he first put away the Demon Transformation Bead, and then ran the Azure Wood Longevity Art again.
After Mastery, the wood spirit aura of Cultivation Method is indeed more stable, and the longevity growth is still slow, but it has more stamina than before. It is still far from the next bigger threshold, but the road is already in front of you.
