Li Yan walked over slowly until he sat down on the other side of the edge of the platform as before, still about ten feet away from the girl. The girl kept this posture all the time and did not turn her head to look at Li Yan. She only swung her dangling legs gently outside the cliff and looked into the distance with a somewhat confused look.
Li Yan After sitting down on the edge of the platform, he lay on his back on the platform, with his legs crossed and supported on the edge of the platform. He put his hands behind his head on the ground and looked at the dark blue sky. He bit a slender bamboo leaf in his mouth and did not speak. It was a bamboo leaf he had torn off when he was restless on the road just now.
The two of them were just like this in silence, one looking at the mountains in the distance, the other looking up at the white clouds in the sky and the occasional birds gliding by. There was only the sound of the breeze blowing the bamboo leaves, and from time to time, the echoing birdsong came from the sky.
After a long, long time, the sun set further in the west and the evening breeze became cooler.
"You have gained a lot this time. You should have reached the tenth level of Qi Condensation Stage. Just be careful that your understanding and state of mind are not enough, and your foundation is unstable." The girl still looked forward, and continued to swing her long legs as she spoke calmly.
"Well, you should also upgrade." Li Yan looked at the white clouds on the horizon that looked like jagged and protruding rocks, which looked like a steep mountain peak standing in the sky in the distance. However, these rocks and peaks were all light yellow, giving a three-dimensional and intertwined feeling. The afterglow of the setting sun in the distance was reflected on them, coating the white with a layer of yellow light.
On the surface, Li Yan's realm appears to be only the eighth level of Qi Condensation. However, due to the rapid advancement during this period, his perception is really far behind, so there is a kind of disharmony in his body. For a Foundation Establishment monk, it can still be seen that the aura revealed on his body is somewhat incompatible with his realm.
Zhao Min actually went through a life-and-death fight in this secret realm, and his cultivation level has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, which is only half a step away from the later stage. But now Zhao Min's aura is vague, Li Yan only vaguely sensed the difference. If he reaches Qi Condensation Stage's Great Consummation, with the strength of Gui Water True Scripture, he should be able to sense the true state of Zhao Min.
"Well, then after you Foundation Establishment, you will go home as I said before." Zhao Min said softly, and then continued to ask softly.??
"I have to go back. My parents don't know my life or death... I haven't tasted the sweet-scented osmanthus cake for a long time..."
"How many years of raw materials do you need to make Osmanthus Cake?"
"Osmanthus cake is just a kind of food, it is not an elixir. Every year when autumn comes..."
The two of them talked quietly like this, but seemed to have no meaning, until the huge full moon appeared above the platform, and the low hum of insects came from the bamboo forest. No one mentioned Gong Chenying. As before, they just chatted quietly and looked into the distance. But tonight, the full moon above their heads could not encircle the two figures in the same circle. Each of them occupied half of the edge of the full moon...
The full moon is like a halo, the stars are sparse, and the sky is empty
</di>
The valley seemed to be asleep, and only the occasional whisper from the platform would break the hum of insects in the ordinary tranquility.
At night, the bamboo shoots that had just sprouted from the ground outside the platform fell down with their roots and loose mud, and fell into the endless abyss, leaving only a pit and a few roots...
Li Yan Li Yan Small Bamboo Peak Seven people gathered here. Even Yunchun came after going back to recuperate for a long time, and Buli Peak two girls were also present.
When Li Yan came back, several people had already arrived at the entrance of his courtyard. When Lin Daqiao saw Li Yan, he jumped over and gave him a bear hug. Li Yan also showed his face. With a knowing smile, behind Lin Daqiao were the fifth senior brother Wen Xinliang with an evil smile, Gong Chenying leaning on the ink bamboo, and Yunchun cross-legged on the ground not far away.
Li Yan came back alone. When he saw the bright rabbit Dongsheng, Li Yan stood up from the platform and patted the dust on his body. He glanced at Zhao Min, who had no intention of getting up, and said, "I'm going back first."
"Yeah." Zhao Min still didn't turn his head, but looked at the rising full moon carefully, as if he wanted to see everything within the bright yellow light. After hearing Li Yan's words, he hummed softly, and then shut up and stopped talking.
Li Yan glanced at the girl under the moonlight and walked away. However, as his steps gradually faded away on the bamboo path, the girl's body trembled slightly and she whispered, "Sixth Senior Sister, why do I feel a little disappointed?"
The full moon, the platform, the girl, and the cyan mountains under the blurred endless night.
Zhao Min was the last one to come. She had changed into white clothes, which were better than snow. She floated in, still looking cold and cold. The moonlight shone on her jade-like cheeks through the gaps between mottled bamboo leaves. There was an extra sense of tranquility and whiteness. As she entered, it seemed as if there was a cool autumn night in Li Yan's bamboo courtyard. Lin Daqiao and the others who were enjoying themselves could not help but silence themselves, and the entire bamboo courtyard suddenly became quiet. Zhao Min was as usual, calm, cold, taciturn, and just walked slowly.
It's just that this look is a little different to Li Changting and Li Wuyi who are familiar with her, but for a while they couldn't tell what the difference was.
In the silence of the crowd, like a white cloud with a halo under the moonlight, Zhao Min floated to Gong Chenying's side, sat next to her on the stone bench, then looked at Li Changting, and opened her red lips lightly, "Where's the wine?"
As Zhao Min asked for wine, the small courtyard suddenly became lively. Li Changting smiled brightly and set up six celadon altars like a magic trick. Then he waved his jade hand and small wine bowls appeared on the stone table one by one. Miao Wangqing, with big eyes flashing, smiled softly, and unexpectedly came out of the storage box
Platefuls of delicacies were taken out of the bag, and the stone table was piled full of them in an instant. Some of them were rare Demon Beast meat that was rarely seen in the Shiwan Mountains. Immediately, the bamboo courtyard was filled with aroma and light, making people's index fingers move. Wei Chituo and Lin Daqiao's eyes were even brighter.
Miao Wangqing glanced at Li Changting with a look in his eyes, and then glanced at Li Wuyi aside. At this time, Li Wuyi's eyes were a little dazed, and he kept staring at the row of celadon altars, and suddenly Then Li Wuyi coughed dryly, "Oh, I still have two jars of pear blossom wine given by Master and his old man. I have been drinking it very much, so I will drink this wine with you. Junior Sister Li's wine is too strong, but Brother Yu is too drunk. Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters should drink more, ah, haha..."
Li Wuyi After he finished speaking, a black wine jar appeared in his hand. Without waiting for anyone else to say anything, he waved his hand and smashed the mud seal on it. Under everyone's astonished eyes, he poured a bowl directly in front of him and then placed the jar of wine under his stone bench. He seemed to have caught it with his feet intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that others would snatch it away.
Wei Chituo couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw this. He picked up a celadon jar and said, "Let's start drinking." He couldn't wait to break the clay seal and poured it directly into the bowl.
Li Changting on the side looked at Li Wuyi with a half-smile. Li Wuyi was so frightened by the sight that he was about to speak, but his eyes were blurred. The pear wine that had just been poured was already taken away by someone. He couldn't help but feel furious that someone was snatching food in front of him, the top master of Small Bamboo Peak Foundation Establishment. He was about to scold him, but when he looked up, he was stunned.
Li Yan held the pear blossom wine in his hand and said with a smile, "I am young and not good at drinking, let alone strong alcohol. First of all, I would like to thank Senior Sister Li and Fourth Senior Sister for their warm hospitality, and then I would like to thank all the senior brothers and sisters for taking care of me these years.", Do it first for respect!" He said these words very smoothly, and Li Wuyi was stunned and drank it all in one gulp, and also lit up the bottom of the bowl, really not a drop was left, True Intention was so passionate.
When the others saw this, they opened the mud seal and poured the wine. For a while, a strong aroma of wine filled the whole courtyard, making people take a few deep breaths. The wine bug had already hooked up, but under the shadow of the bamboo, they really didn't pay attention to the color of the wine. Wei Chituo, Lin Daqiao, and Wen Xinliang couldn't wait to pick it up, and drank every drop in one sip.
Gong Chenying's body seemed to have become more tense since Zhao Min sat next to him. At this time, he picked up the wine bowl, glanced at the wine bowl, and frowned, but saw that Zhao Min and Wei Chituo were just like them. They didn't even look at the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Gong Chenying just had a meal, and then drank it all without hesitation. As soon as the wine entered her stomach, it was like a line of fire rising from her lower abdomen. In an instant, her whole body seemed to be on fire. The medicinal power that she had suppressed seemed to be ignited, and it wanted to flow out of her body like a wave. This made Gong Chenying startled and she hurriedly mobilized her spiritual power.
</di>
Pressing hard on Dantian, she blocked the frenzy that was about to burst. Her face became flushed. She couldn't help but secretly thought, "What a domineering wine. I've long heard that Senior Sister Li's Gu wine is one of the best. If she uses it now, it will definitely have twice the result with half the effort." But that's all she thought about at this time. The power of the wine was suppressed in her body, and after catalyzing it later, it also had a complementary effect with the remaining medicinal power.
Yunchun went to drink it all in one gulp, his eyes brightened, and he said "good wine", and then he poured another bowl without waiting for the others, drank it all in one gulp, then threw the wine bowl away, without eating a bite of food, he actually sat up cross-legged and meditated on the spot. In an instant, white mist rose up from his body, and he used the wine to heal his injuries.
Li Wuyi glanced at those people, with admiration rising in his eyes. After glaring at Li Yan, he reached out and took out the pear blossom wine under the stone bench. Unexpectedly, he felt a fragrance coming from his nose, and a jade hand stretched out., snatched the jar of pear blossom wine with one hand, Li Wuyi such skill, just as he was about to use his strength to shake the hand away, he heard a charming smile in his ear, "Senior Brother Wuyi, take it back and try it, believe it or not, I will come Small Bamboo Peak from tomorrow on."
Li Wuyi's hands suddenly trembled, and his face showed a sly smile, he still dared to exert force.
Then Li Changting's beautiful face appeared a few inches away from his face, holding the jar of pear blossom wine with a smile.
"Junior Sister Li, Brother Yu really can't drink strong liquor." Li Wuyi forced a smile on his handsome face.
"Humph, I can't help you today." Leaving Ting snorted.
At this moment, with an exclamation, a trembling voice sounded from the side, "Ah, this... this... what is in this wine?" Everyone looked around and saw that it was Miao Wangqing. She was holding the wine bowl and looking into the bowl with a hint of fear in her eyes.
When everyone heard this, except for Li Wuyi, Li Yan, Zhao Min, and Gong Chenying, the others were stunned and looked into the second bowl of wine that had just been poured. The eyesight of the immortal cultivator could be seen very clearly if he wanted to, but this look made Lin Daqiao jump directly from the stone table.
"Oh my god, it's a Gu insect!" Lin Daqiao exclaimed.
Wei Chituo and Wen Xinliang were also shocked. The hand holding the wine bowl trembled and they almost threw the wine bowl on the ground. Several people couldn't help but look at Li Changting.
Fortunately, Yun Chun had already entered meditation to heal his injuries, and he was considered the calmest person.
It should be said that this Gu insect is no stranger to the Wangliang Sect monks, and is even a little familiar, but this is for the Buli Peak monks. For the other monks from the other peaks, they are still a little wary in their hearts, especially if they are eaten alive like this, it is beyond the ordinary. It was beyond their psychological endurance, but fortunately, they were all Wangliang Sect monks, and they were no strangers to poison, so they did not lose control in their fear. Just like Miao Wangqing's weak character, after seeing it, he still held the bowl and did not throw it away, which is already rare.
