Li Yan felt like his eyes were blurred. The light in front of him was no longer yellow, and the air became fresher instantly.
He was currently standing outside a vermilion courtyard wall. The courtyard wall was ten feet high and extended to both sides, but his view was blocked by vegetation on both sides.
Li Yan looked back and saw that most of the Ancient Inheritance Hall behind was blocked by the vermilion wall. Some walls of a huge palace could be seen upwards, and the rest stretched upward into the dark clouds.
At the foot of Li Yan is a cobblestone path that winds forward, with a dark blue bamboo forest on both sides.
The whole sky is still that dark color, giving people the feeling that it is a sign of the coming rain, and this end of the path has stopped abruptly at the courtyard wall.
There is also no gate here. After a brief exploration, Li Yan immediately raised his legs and walked forward, and soon disappeared into the dark bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest was rustling in the strong wind, and the bamboo branches were swaying wildly. The sky became darker and darker, as if it would rain heavily in the next moment.
Looking at the ground and in the air, bamboo leaves were constantly being blown by the strong wind, and the bamboo forest made a strange whistling sound. Li Yan did not fly into the sky, but kept moving forward along this cobblestone path.
His Divine Sense had already dispersed into the distance. Disciples in the hall had already teleported out, but Li Yan did not see anyone.
The strong wind kept rolling the bamboo branches extending diagonally on both sides towards Li Yan, as if he was about to be submerged in it, and Li Yan's green shirt also made a hunting sound.
Li Yan felt that there were vague fluctuations approaching him in those bamboo forests. They were some thorn bushes that already had intelligence.
The other party quickly became quiet after sensing the aura on Li Yan's body. This made Li Yan know that this place had indeed been cleaned up and there was no danger to him.
After exploring the surrounding area for a while, Li Yan confirmed that there was no danger, and then took off into the air...
The space outside the Zhuhongyuan wall was very large. On the first day, Li Yan walked through a snowfield. He discovered three cave abodes one after another among some huge ice cracks in the snowfield.
But after Li Yan entered, he found that the inside was described as a house with bare walls, which is considered polite.
Not only are there no treasures inside, many of the walls have been dug through, and there is even only a little bit of debris left on the entire wall...
Ten days later, Li Yan appeared in an endless spiritual field. The place was basically covered with weeds, and because of the soil quality and aura, the growth was particularly vigorous.
Judging from the distribution height of those weeds, we can still see some of the shape of the original spiritual field, and there are still some Spirit Plant growing in them.
But what Li Yan saw were ordinary Spirit Plants that he knew, and some of them were only a few decades old. This shows that even the rare Spirit Plants that are not very old have already been looted.
Here, Li Yan searched carefully for six days, but there was no trace of the Misty Moon Immortal Grass anywhere. Then he had to fly to other areas again...
During this half-month period, Li Yan also met three monks, two monks from Nascent Soul and one from the Void Refinement Realm.
After seeing each other from a distance, both parties chose not to get close to each other and left quickly.
Here, although the woman in white has said that she cannot kill people to seize treasures, the disciples who dare to appear outside the palace have a certain degree of confidence.
For example, the two Nascent Soul disciples seemed to be good at joining forces. Normal Spirit Transformation monks might not be able to defeat them easily.
Especially since their time here is limited, so under normal circumstances, they would not take action against the opponent until they find any precious treasures.
After Li Yan met the Void Refinement Realm monk, he quickly moved away on his own, and the man also saw clearly that Li Yan was a Spirit Transformation Realm disciple.
In the end, perhaps because he didn't notice any strange phenomena nearby, he just watched Li Yan escape and didn't start to pursue it.
Four days later, Li Yan was skimming along the ground. This area was already a hilly area, and the ground was covered with dark thorn-like shrubs, making it impossible to get down.
"The spiritual field found there covers thousands of acres. It should be the place where Spirit Plant was planted more intensively in this Daoist gate.
But after staying there for six days, I checked countless times. Not to mention the Obscuring Moon Immortal Grass, even the slightly valuable Spirit Plant, I couldn't find a few plants.
In the past few days, I haven't even seen Spirit Plant. Is it possible that the inheritance here is only valuable now in the ancient palace? Are other places really running out of resources?
Or, as I guessed, only some areas are open here, and rare Spirit Plant such as Hazy Moon Fairy Grass are hidden in the core..."
Li Yan kept thinking in his mind while flying close to the ground, but he was not too critical. How could the Misty Moon Fairy Grass be so easy to find?
Originally, when she was in the ancient palace, the woman in white described the situation outside the ancient palace very clearly, but of course many monks who came here for the first time felt that they needed to go there themselves.
This is also the normal mentality of people. Unless they see it with their own eyes, they will always have some expectations in their hearts. It is even more impossible for Li Yan to stay in the palace.
The area outside the ancient palace has not yet been explored, so naturally Li Yan can only continue to search.
And just as Li Yan was flying by, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and then he stopped in place.
He was already a faint shadow, but the moment he stopped, he completely disappeared out of thin air.
Not long after, several similarly illusory figures flew over quickly, sticking to the ground.
The speed of these illusory figures is not very fast, and they occasionally stop for a while. When they stay, they seem to be observing the surrounding environment, but no one makes any sound.
When Li Yan stopped before, they also made the same move, but they soon flew here.
In an instant, they flew directly from the position where Li Yan disappeared before, and at the same time, they also swept Divine Sense, which had quietly emerged, further ahead.
But these phantoms were not noticed at all. Just after they flew away, there was an aura that they were not aware of, quietly following behind.
And that person was naturally Li Yan who stayed here just now. After Li Yan suddenly noticed the abnormal aura, he originally only paid a little attention.
During these days, Li Yan sensed the appearance of more monks one after another. It should be some monks in the Ancient Inheritance Hall. Maybe due to various reasons, they also wanted to come out to see the situation outside the ancient palace.
But that time Li Yan was discovered by a Void Refinement monk because he did not cover up his figure while searching for the Hazy Moon Fairy Grass in the spiritual field.
After that, Li Yan used hiding methods after leaving, trying not to meet others.
But after Li Yan discovered those people just now, he immediately changed his mind, because in his Divine Sense, he saw four extremely faint figures.
Moreover, the other party also flew close to the ground, allowing the black shrubs on the ground to better integrate their shadows into it.
Li Yan is also very familiar with this approach.
"The strength of these four people should be Spirit Transformation Realm. Judging from the faint fluctuations, this strength is already extremely strong among this group of disciples. With the four of them united, why are they so careful..."
Li Yan Divine Sense felt several mana fluctuations, which were emitted by the opponent during flight. Although the four people's concealment skills were very exquisite, they could not hide it from Li Yan's Divine Sense.
Li Yan quickly judged the cultivation level of the four people, and they should all be in the middle to late stage of Spirit Transformation.
However, he only scanned Divine Sense and found that the four people were also constantly exploring the surroundings, so Li Yan immediately took over Divine Sense.
The other party looked like he was clearly looking for something and didn't want others to know. Li Yan immediately decided to follow him.
These four people are very cautious. They often stop suddenly without warning after flying a certain distance.
Then, it will carefully detect it before continuing to fly forward.
Once you meet other monks, if you find that their cultivation level is very low, they will fly quietly from one side.
If it is discovered that the other party has good cultivation, he will hide in place and wait for others to leave. At least during the period of time that Li Yan is following them, these four people have not been noticed by others.
It was also their good luck that they did not meet the strong ones from the Void Refinement Realm, but think about it, there were only a few monks from the Void Refinement Realm who came this time.
The chance of encountering someone like Li Yan is already very bad luck for him, not to mention that the space outside the Ancient Inheritance Hall is very vast...
Li Yan followed these four people. Although he found that the other party would send Divine Sense glances at his position, Li Yan knew that the other party did not notice that he was following.
Therefore, those Divine Sense did not stop and gather together. The other party was just exploring normally, but he did not dare to get too close to the other party.
The power of the Immortal Spirit Realm is wonderful, and some Dharma Treasure that sometimes appear on the market are also surprising.
It is not unusual for the Immortal Spirit Realm to have Dharma Treasure who can detect the hidden monks Void Refinement Realm in the body of Spirit Transformation.
Li Yan is not a top cultivator. He can only be regarded as the best among the same level, but he never dares to say that he can defeat the same level.
For example, senior brothers Pei Buchong and Li Yan have no confidence that they can beat each other.
Pei Buchong spends far more time out training than he does. Without the two actually meeting, Li Yan doesn't know what the other party's methods are.
But just when he returned with Master Dong Fuyi, he heard Master say more than once that Pei Buchong was very strong.
Being able to tell from the master that a junior is very strong means that he is second to none at the same level, not to mention that Dong Fuyi also clearly understands the strength of Li Yan.
The four figures stayed close to the ground and kept flying forward. Although Li Yan had never been here before, the terrain they were flying on clearly felt increasingly biased.
If Li Yan were to pass by the place where he is now, he might leave after a little exploration.
Because the spiritual energy here is getting thinner and thinner, it is not a place where Spirit Plant can grow, and there is no trace of monk cave abode.
The terrain here is descending along the high hills...
Five days later, at the foot of a low hill, the shrubs here became denser and filled with clusters of sharp black thorns.
After the four human phantoms flew here, they stopped again. Li Yan knew that the other party was investigating as usual.
But this time, Li Yan found that he had guessed wrong. After about a few dozen breaths, the four phantoms no longer continued to fly by, but solidified in an instant.
Li Yan, who was behind, also saw the faces of the four people, three men and one woman, for the first time after following them for several days.
The moment he saw the faces of the four people clearly, Li Yan was a little surprised to find that these people were all people he knew.
The four people were the ones who often appeared around Yan Qingchen, including Liu Siyu in the middle Spirit Transformation and one of the monks in the late Spirit Transformation. Li Yan was familiar with these two monks and they were the monks who participated in the internal selection.
As for the other two monks, Li Yan had seen them when they were at the Yellow Qi Valley lake. Their cultivation levels were also in the later stages of Spirit Transformation.
Li Yan had already judged at that time that he should be the disciple who entered the core elite earlier.
But the moment Li Yan saw the faces of these four people clearly, Li Yan suddenly felt that the hairs on his entire back stood up in an instant.
Because at the moment when these four people solidified, a fifth figure suddenly appeared among the four people.
Li Yan, who was hiding in the dark, could clearly be seen with his eyesight. The moment Liu Siyu's figure solidified, a person seemed to step out from her shadow.
That man was handsome, extremely handsome, and he was none other than Dao of Alchemy with extremely powerful qualifications --- Yan Qingchen!
In the scene before his eyes, even though Li Yan had a calm mind, he almost had an unstable breath. Finally, it was his profound concentration that prevented unstable fluctuations from escaping from his hidden state.
"This... this person has been flying invisibly all this time? Or was he put into the spirit storage bag by Liu Siyu?"
Li Yan was already very shocked. He had experienced too many storms and waves, and more than once, he had encountered people who were more than a step stronger than him.
And he had thought more than once that there must be more monks of the same level who were more powerful than him, but even after he returned to the sect, he had never really met them due to Pei Buchong seclusion.
Li Yan Although two guesses emerged in his mind at this moment, he was still 90% sure that Yan Qingchen was not received by Liu Siyu Spirit Storage Space.
Because, he only sensed fluctuations in the nearby Five Elements Laws, but there were no spatial fluctuations. There should be no one using the space Dharma Treasure.
Li Yan forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart. He had been following the other party for more than five days, but he never discovered that there was another person... hiding among them.
If he wanted to intercept and kill the four opponents, he would definitely be attacked and killed by the opponent, and even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.
Fortunately, the other five people should not have noticed him, otherwise Yan Qingchen would not have been exposed at all, but they would have set a trap for themselves.
"I have met Yan Qingchen more than once. I have carefully determined the other person's cultivation level, which is the late stage state of Spirit Transformation.
Could it be that he is all a strong man above Void Refinement Realm, or does he also have a treasure similar to Wing Guard? "
Li Yan's heart was filled with ups and downs for a moment. He was now completely unable to determine the true cultivation level of this Yan Qingchen, but the other party could only be a monk Void Refinement Realm at best.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to hide it from the other party. Could it be that a Body Integration Realm strong man couldn't detect his own aura?
After thinking of this, Li Yan's shocked mood calmed down a bit. If the old monster Body Integration Realm appeared in front of him, he would not even have a chance to escape.
But Li Yan also knows what the rules of Yellow Qi Valley are, and of course he is more confident that Yan Qingchen in front of him would not dare to hide in with the Body Integration Realm's cultivation level.
At the same time, Li Yan also remembered something. When he met these "four" people a few days ago, the very next moment he hid, Divine Sense came to where he was hiding.
Now that I think about it, it must have been this Yan Qingchen. With the moment of induction, I stopped to look for it, but I didn't find myself after that, so I gave up.
And if this is the case, Li Yan can basically be sure of one thing. Even though Yan Qingchen has the strength of the Void Refinement Realm, Divine Sense is not as good as himself.
"He has also practiced some very advanced concealment techniques, or has some kind of hidden treasure, which makes him unable to detect it!"
Li Yan As his thoughts raced, he finally began to calm down.
After having this speculation, Li Yan immediately gave up his plan to leave. These five people behaved in such a secretive manner.
Needless to say, it also has some unknown purpose!
At this time, after Yan Qingchen appeared, he immediately looked around with a vigilant look on his face!
