Chapter 172: Mystic Monk
Gu Yan was in the cave mansion, and she was not in a hurry to refine the Ziyan Crystal Soul, she first arranged a spirit gathering array, using the characteristics of the Ziyan Crystal that could store spiritual energy, and continuously absorbing the Taiyin Earth Fire Qi from the leylines, this process would last at least three months.
During these three months, in addition to guarding the magic circle, she would occasionally go out of the cave to see the situation on the island.
Lin Ran is a very cute little girl, she sometimes comes to the back mountain to chat with Gu Yan, and Gu Yan asks her about the current situation in Guixuhai. After all, it has been nearly nine years since she left Guixu Sea, and even in the first few years of entering Kunyuan, she has mostly wandered in the open sea, and many things are not very clear.
Although Chilang Reef is far away from the inland sea of Guixu Sea, the news is quite well-informed, listening to Lin Ran, since the end of that competition meeting, the elders of Tianyin Pavilion have begun to retreat, and the current Tianyin Pavilion is presided over by several young disciples designated by the Council of Elders. I heard that this retreat will take 15 years.
Gu Yan nodded when she heard this, this was similar to her guess when she chatted with Wen Nanqin back then, but she didn't know what the elders of Tianyin Pavilion were going to do when they were in retreat at the same time?
She pondered for a moment and then asked Lin Ran, "It's all those young disciples who are in charge, are the monks of the Ten Islands and Three Mountains convinced?" ”
Lin Ran shook his head, "Over the years, the Ten Islands and Three Mountains have not been peaceful, especially in recent years, under the control of Tianyin Pavilion, they have broken out several major battles with the West Sea Alliance, and the casualties on both sides are not small. The current confrontation between the Inland Sea and the West Sea is even more serious than in previous years. ”
Gu Yan couldn't help but wonder, it was said that the elders were in retreat at the same time, and these disciples should be even more cautious, but their actions were becoming more and more flamboyant. The young disciples I have seen who came out to walk are all arrogant, could it be that those elders are before the retreat. Didn't they explain it, or did they do it on purpose?
This made Gu Yan puzzled, according to Lin Ran's statement. The current Guixu Sea has become a muddy water, and he is still honestly hiding here to refine his Ziyan Crystal Soul. Don't get involved.
She also wanted to ask Lin Ran, the Weishenme Lin family would suddenly decide to move to this place where the environment was desolate, the spiritual energy was barren, and there was only one fire spirit vein, which was completely unsuitable for cultivation. But whenever this question was mentioned, Lin Ran avoided answering, saying that he didn't know much about it. Gu Yan thought that maybe they had something unspeakable, so he didn't ask any more.
Gu Yan hesitated, Tianyin Pavilion and the West Sea Alliance had been calm for many years, and now they had made waves again, plus the demon beasts were in full swing to refine that dragon puppet, what did they want to do? I'm afraid that it will be troublesome in the sea from now on. She still hurried to find a way to return to the Shenzhou Continent.
I just don't know if Lin Jiaxiu can find a way back? She couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of that nerd. I'm afraid that this person is still immersed in the vast area of the Guixu Sea, and the specialties are rich and he can't extricate himself. For this person, as long as it can make him a good haode refiner. I'm afraid there is not much difference between Shenzhou and Guixuhai.
On this day, Gu Yan was underground, absorbing the fire aura in the leylines through the Spirit Gathering Array. Suddenly, I felt that the aura was a little weakened. It seems that he turned around halfway and ran to another place.
She let out a "huh" and waved her hand to play out a spiritual trick, and the magic circle made of purple flame crystals suddenly shone brightly, and those spiritual qi were sucked by her again.
As she added strength on one side, the suction on the other side seemed to start to increase, and the two sides were in a stalemate here, and the cultivation of the person on the other side didn't seem to be under her!
Gu Yan's heart froze, could it be that Lin Ruoxu personally took action? When she first came to the island, Lin Ruo smiled and said earnestly, could she secretly make a stumbling block? At this time, she suddenly felt that the ground began to tremble slightly, and the entire fire spirit vein was a little unstable, she immediately withdrew her hand, and then released the purple jade lotus platform to suppress the magic circle, flew out of the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Who is struggling with me?" ”
With the instability of the underground fire spirit veins, the ground of the entire island began to become hot, and half of the mountain wall seemed to have a faint red color, and at this time, from the mountain peak in the distance, a crimson cloud suddenly flew up, and a monk stood on it and said in a very loud voice: "Where did the female doll come from!" ”
Gu Yan raised his head and looked, this was at the other end of the back mountain, there was a high peak, which was the highest place on the island, and was called Chilang Peak. On the mountainside, there is a small house. When Lin Ran introduced the topography of the island to her, he only said it roughly, Gu Yan thought that it was the Lin family's cultivation place at that time, so he didn't care, and now it seems that he is not the only outsider on this island!
The red cloud approached quickly, and on it stood a large man, with half his shoulders bare, draped in a garment made of animal skins, not like a monk, but like a hunter.
He was carrying two three-strand steel forks on his back, holding a small red box in his hand, his face was full of anger, he looked at Gu Yan, and said angrily: "You disturbed my magic circle?" ”
Before Gu Yan met, this monk who was also in the middle stage of foundation building, couldn't help but move in his heart, his aura was no worse than his own. In her impression, the retreat had been blocked by the magic circle, and she thought that the seniors of the Lin family were retreating there. Thinking of this, she said cautiously: "Your Excellency is a monk of the Lin family?" ”
The two of them were looking at each other nervously like this, and at this time, two monks flew over from the front mountain, one was Lin Ruoxu, the other was Lin Nan, the two of them looked at Gu Yan and the male cultivator, Lin Ruoxu smiled and said, "What's going on?" ”
Gu Yan replied: "This fellow Daoist, said that I absorbed the fire aura from the ground and disturbed his magic circle. Patriarch Lin didn't tell me that there were other Daoists stationed here! ”
Lin Ruoxu smiled and said, "It's my fault." This is Zheng Zhengyin, a Taoist friend, he has been in retreat here for several years in order to raise spirit beasts, I think that the two Taoist friends are cultivating here, so they didn't deliberately introduce each other, this time it's just a misunderstanding, it's better to turn the war into a jade silk, right? ”
Zheng Zhengyin snorted, "She absorbed a large amount of fire aura underground, which shocked my spirit beast, how can this account be calculated?" ”
After Lin Nan heard his words, he glanced at Gu Yan with a slight surprise. Gu Yan probably had the bottom in his heart, and these people must have known each other in advance. Otherwise, this Zheng Zhengyin would not occupy such a haode place, you must know that the Yin Fire Vein where Chilang Peak leads directly to the ground is the most haode place on the island.
At this time, Lin Nan apologized to Zheng Zhengyin again, saying that it was because of his poor consideration that the two parties had a conflict. Zheng Zheng waved his hand impatiently, I don't want to be embarrassed by this female doll, it's just that on the fifteenth day of every month, I want to absorb the yin fire qi of the leylines to raise the spirit beast, this little girl wants to absorb the underground spiritual energy, and please change the time to avoid conflicts. ”
His tone was very loud, as if he was sure that Gu Yan would never be able to snatch him. Gu Yan didn't care, she had been away for a long time, and she had encountered more such arrogant monks, and now her temperament was not as sharp as before, and she would not easily engage in verbal disputes with others. It's just that her eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and her eyes fell on the small box in Zheng Zhengyin's hand.
It must be the spirit beast he raised, Gu Yan's heart was a little surprised, she had been underground for nearly a month, and she clearly knew that the Taiyin earth fire below, how heavy the yin qi was, even a person with a fire spirit like her, in an unprotected state, could not afford it, such a small spirit beast could actually absorb yin fire? Gu Yan couldn't help but be curious.
Gu Yan still wanted to say a few more words to Zheng Zhengyin, but he didn't like to talk much, waved his hand, and drove the red cloud back to the house, and other book friends looked at it normally:.
Lin Ruoxu kept apologizing to Gu Yan, Gu Yan smiled and said it was okay, turned around and went back to the ground, but Lin Nan looked at Gu Yan's background with a thoughtful look.
In the following days, Gu Yan has been protecting her magic circle underground, and sure enough, as Zheng Zhengyin said, he only absorbs fire aura for one day a month, Gu Yan stopped the magic circle on that day, and the rest of the days continued, and the two of them did not interfere with each other.
In her spare time, she asked Lin Ran about Zheng Zhengyin, but Lin Ran had no wit and told Gu Yan everything she knew. It's just that she doesn't know much, but she just said that he also came here to live temporarily because of the fire spirit veins here, so that he was the spirit beast that raised him.
Gu Yan listened and asked with interest, "I don't know what kind of spirit beast that Zheng Daoyou raised?" ”
Lin Ran couldn't say it clearly, "It seems to be a spider, it looks very fierce and weird, and it can spit out long golden silk in its mouth." I once met Sister Lin Nan once, and that spirit beast exuded a scorching yin qi all over its body, and it made people uncomfortable as soon as they got close, and I never saw it again. ”
Gu Yan thought about all the classics he had seen, but he didn't know the name of this spirit beast, so he didn't think about it anymore and concentrated on refining his Purple Flame Crystal Soul.
Gu Yan has the experience of refining several fire spirits, this kind of spiritual thing, you can't be in a hurry, you can only figure it slowly. She slowly used the Taiyin Earth Fire every day to refine the sharp qi in the Ziyan Crystal Soul, and then tried to communicate with it with the fire aura in her meridians, just like when she had refined the Violet Heavenly Flame and the Ice Spirit Flame.
When she was refining, it was all done in the chaotic space. The Purple Flame Crystal Soul seemed to like the aura here very much, flying around freely in the chaotic space, just like the fire spirit that Gu Yan had just given birth to the Violet Heavenly Fire at the beginning. Gu Yan estimated that if she worked like this for another year or two, she would be able to refine the Ziyan Crystal Soul and then start the steps of refining the puppet. Although the first step had not yet been completed, she couldn't help but show excitement when she thought of the dragon that could fly to the sky.
There is such a puppet, and when she returns to the ruins, she can come and go as she pleases! (To be continued)
