The Bu Tun Beast slowly carried Li Yan to the southern suburbs of Mengdu City.

"Let's take a look, take a look, the hot buns just out of the pot, Bao Da Bao Xiang." A shopkeeper covered in the smell of steamed buns shouted enthusiastically.

Following the fragrance of the buns, the Cloth Swallow Beast took Li Yan to the bun shop.

The clever owner of the bun shop saw Li Yan riding a cloth swallow beast towards his bun shop from afar.

Immediately overjoyed: "Ah, it's the Immortal Master, the villain welcomes the Immortal Master, the Immortal Master can patronize the small shop, it is the villain's ancestor who has accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes!" I don't know what kind of stuffed buns do you want to eat? The shop is best known for its donkey meat buns! And..."The shopkeeper chattered and introduced to Li Yan, for fear that Li Yan would leave. He had heard that these immortal masters were very generous, and his grandfather sold them to an immortal master bun back then, and he received a lot of rewards, including a gold ingot. So he was very eager for Li Yan's arrival.

At this moment, a lazy little beggar took advantage of the shopkeeper's inattention, quickly grabbed a few buns from Li Yan's side, and was about to run away.

"Ahh Dogs! You little bastard, you dare to steal my buns and see if I don't kill you! The shopkeeper was also very quick to react, and grabbed the little beggar's thin arm with one skill.

"Little bastard, I'll let you steal! I'll let you steal! Shoot you! The shopkeeper beat the little beggar with a fierce face, and he didn't have the same humility and enthusiasm as he did for Li Yan.

"Stop, let him go, I'll pay him for his bun." Li Yan said lightly.

"What's so embarrassing about this? Dog, count yourself lucky, don't hurry up and thank the immortal master! If it weren't for the immortal master's words, I would have killed you a little bastard today. The shopkeeper said with some surprise.

The dirty little face of the dog looked at Li Yan, but he didn't have the slightest emotion, what kind of eyes were they, indifference to everything, or disregard for life. It's just that his legs bent and gave Li Yan a few heavy knocks, then grabbed the bun that fell to the ground, turned around and ran away.

Li Yan looked at the little beggar in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little interesting, this child's life experience is not simple.

Wonton stood quietly beside Li Yan, but his eyes stared at the hot bun on the board without blinking, and his little nose twitched constantly betrayed it, obviously hungry.

Li Yan smiled faintly, this wonton is really quite spiritual. At that moment, he didn't say anything more to the shopkeeper, and threw down a large piece of gold, telling him to take out all the buns and feed them to the Cloth Swallow Beast.

When the shopkeeper saw such a big piece of gold, he immediately closed his mouth happily, and his attitude became more humble and enthusiastic, so that the shopkeeper hurriedly put all the buns on the big steaming drawer, and sent a drawer to the Button Beast.

The big eyes of the cloth swallowing beast were also bright, and he opened his big mouth and swallowed the buns one by one. While eating, I made a chirp sound.

It's just that when it was about to finish eating all the buns, it glanced at Li Yan very humanely, full of guilt, as if it was patronizing itself and didn't let the owner eat it first.

"Ula, Ulahu, Hula" Wonton screamed a little embarrassedly, and put a basket of steamed buns in front of Li Yan, as if to say, Master, you also eat a little, it's delicious.

Li Yan couldn't help but be amused by the wontons, and secretly realized that this beast was quite "loyal", but this mouth was a little greedy.

didn't shirk, took the bun, and ate one man and one beast outside the bun shop.

After a while, the full thirty drawers of buns were swept away.

Li Yan burped and left with the Cloth Swallow Beast satisfied.

Besides, the little beggar did not run away, but stared at him not far from Li Yan, who followed him after Li Yan came out of the bun shop.

Li Yan had already noticed the little beggar behind him, but he didn't take it to heart. Continue to wander slowly in the southern suburbs, not caring about the passage of time at all.

It wasn't until the night was getting dark that I thought of finding a place to stay overnight, which was an abandoned and ruined temple that had not been worshiped with incense for a long time.

I saw that the scale of this temple was not large, and it looked dilapidated. The statue of the god in the temple has long been unable to see clearly, and I don't know what kind of god it is. Cultivators have no scruples about these ghosts and gods that circulate in the mortal world at all, perhaps these ghosts and gods are just some monks who occasionally come to the world.

Li Yan simply cleaned up the ruined temple, set up a fire, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and got up.

"Since you've been with Li for so long, you might as well come over and see you." Li Yan said lightly.

A thin figure slowly walked out from behind the pillar of the temple gate, it was the little beggar who stole the buns.

"Are you an immortal?" A crisp and pleasant voice came out of the mouth of the little beggar.

"Huh?" Li Yan was a little surprised when he heard the little beggar's voice, but he didn't expect that this little beggar turned out to be a girl, and she looked like she was only eleven or twelve years old. I don't know what it went through to get to where it is now.

"I'm not an immortal, I'm just a monk. You've been with me for a day, but you've been very persevering. Say it, follow me to what you do. ”

"Brother Fairy, I didn't mean to follow you, I just wanted to repay you for saving you today!" The little girl said with some excitement.

"Oh? It is interesting to repay me, what does a mere mortal repay me? Li Yan said with a little surprise.

"I... I—" The little girl's eyes remained indifferent, but her voice showed that she was a little nervous.

"Okay, Li didn't think about asking you for anything in return, seeing that you were born alone, so I came to help."

"Brother Fairy, I, I have something for you, I don't know if it's useful to you, but

, which I picked up, fell from the sky. And every night, it emits a strange light. "The little girl is sincere.

"Oh? It's kind of interesting. Li Yan didn't go to his heart either, his heart might just be a glow-in-the-dark stone, worthless to the monk.

Seeing that Li Yan didn't care, the little girl was a little anxious, and hurriedly took out a small sign from her arms.

Hey! As soon as Li Yan saw this thing, he felt something unusual. Reaching out and taking it, he looked at it carefully.

I saw that this brand was in the shape of a token, half the size of a palm. It was engraved with dense characters, and a large character was engraved in the middle of the token, but Li Yan couldn't understand what it meant. The entire token is dark red, exuding an aura of simplicity and desolation. At first glance, it is not an ordinary object.

Li Yan swept towards it with his divine sense, but found that there was an invisible prohibition around this token, and he couldn't enter it at all.

"Okay, I accepted the brand, it does have some use for Li, whatever you want, Li can promise you."

"Brother Immortal, I don't have any other requirements, I just want you to take me, I also want to be an immortal." The little girl prayed for something.

"It's... I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, Li has been cultivating alone so far, and I'm afraid it will be a little inconvenient with you. Besides, Li is just a little monk in the light of the fetus, you can also see that I am like this now, I can't hide it, I can't protect myself now. Li Yan said with some embarrassment.

As soon as the little girl heard Li Yan say this, tears immediately flowed down her cheeks, and her eyes turned from indifference to deep despair.

Li Yan couldn't bear to see it, sighed, and said, "Why do you want to cultivate immortals?" If you convince me of a reason, Li will take you with me."

"I, I want to avenge my father and my mother." Then the little girl talked about her experience.

It turned out that this little girl's name was Ning Xi, and her family was also a big family in the southern suburbs, and the family was originally living happily. However, one day three years ago, a fireball suddenly fell from the sky and burned their house to the ground, and she was the only one who survived because she went out to play. Listening to the people who witnessed it, it might be the means of immortal cultivators. So, Ning Xi has always wanted to find an opportunity to find out the cause and find out the murderer. But what could she, a twelve-year-old girl, do, do but wander around this southern outskirts. I was afraid of being bullied, so I looked like a beggar and deliberately soiled my body.

Today she was really hungry, so she went to steal the boss's buns, usually she was hungry and full, and lived on the charity of well-wishers. Seeing that Li Yan was a fairy brother, the hope that was gradually extinguishing in her heart was ignited again, so she wanted to cultivate immortals.

When Li Yan heard Ning Xi say this, he couldn't help but sigh, and felt a little unbearable, so he agreed to take her to cultivate immortals.

However, Li Yan made it clear to him that he would only accept her as a maidservant for the time being, and after she was detoxified, he would help her sign up and go to the cultivation of the Great Sect of Cultivation.

Of course, Li Yan also considered it, just now he had already found out that this woman's spiritual root was good, it might be a mutated spiritual root, but at this moment he also had no spiritual power, so he couldn't know exactly what his spiritual root was.

Li Yan looked at the little girl in front of him, and didn't have the heart to travel any further, so he immediately hugged the Cloth Swallow Beast, and the two returned to Mengdu City together. Li Yan and Ning Xi came to the city of Mengdu, and after continuing to hold the identity card, they brought Ning Xi into the city.

Ning Xi, you will come with me in the future. Li Yan took Ning Xi's little hand and walked into the cyclamen.

"Shopkeeper, open another room next to me. By the way, remember to make hot water and put the petals. Li Yan said to the shopkeeper when he entered the door.

"Okay, fellow Daoist, I'll arrange it next." The shopkeeper didn't ask much, and directly ordered Xiao Linzi to wait.

"Brother Fairy, I.... I don't have to live in such a nice place. Ning Xi said timidly. Seeing that Li Yan had spent so many spirit diamonds, Ning Xi was a little embarrassed. After all, she is still a mortal girl, where have I seen so many spirit diamonds.

"It's okay, Ning Xi, you can live in peace. And don't call me Brother Immortal in the future, I'm just a monk in the light of the womb. If it's customary, call me brother. Li Yan said in a deep voice.

"Okay fairy brother, oh ~ no, Brother Yan, call me Xi'er in the future, that's what my mother calls me." Xi'er said with red eyes.

Seeing Ning Xi like this, Li Yan's heart couldn't help but feel a little turbulent. What a good child, how could he be in such a situation. Li Yan couldn't help but reach out and rub Ning Xi's hair, and said, "Don't worry, Xi'er, with your brother here in the future, you won't be bullied anymore." ”

After Ning Xi was washed and dressed, she really looked like she was ready to be released, with a melon seed face and willow eyebrows, a straight nose, and big eyes that were very attentive. The indifferent eyes before have also changed a little, and they have become gentle. Wash away the dirt and reveal the white skin, which is really out of the mud but not stained, and the ripples are clear but not demonic, which can be described as a small jasper.

Xiao Linzi sent a set of well-fitting women's clothes very interestingly, although it was not very expensive, but it was also very gorgeous. After Ning Xi put it on, Li Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said in his heart that this girl must be a beauty embryo in the future. Unconsciously touched his chin, Li Yan put away a little thought, and secretly scolded himself for being such a beast, and he had bad thoughts about such a young girl. It's a shame, a shame.

"Brother Yan, do you think I'm beautiful?" Ning Xi didn't realize it, put on a gorgeous costume, tapped his toes, and turned around in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan smiled faintly and didn't say anything, but he clearly appreciated it very much.

"Xi'er, you go to the next door to rest, I'll call you when I have something." Li Yan said in a deep voice.

"Okay, Brother Yan, you must call me if you have something, don't leave Xi'er." Ning Xirou

Softly, a Wanfu immediately withdrew from Li Yan's room.

Li Yan looked at the back of Ning Xi leaving, and gradually lost his mind, thinking that he had led Ning Xi into the cultivation realm, but he didn't know whether it was right or wrong, and he didn't even know the future path.

Ay!

There was only a long sigh.

It's already the second day, and Hou San hasn't heard any news yet, which makes Li Yan a little anxious. Xiao Linzi also said that Hou San was not abnormal, and all that was left for Li Yan was the tormented waiting.

Idle is also idle, Li Yan, who was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, took out the token given by Ning Xi. The dark red sign was full of characters, but Li Yan didn't recognize a single symbol.

When he first got his hands on it, he didn't study it carefully. Now that I'm back at my place, I can do it with confidence.

Operate your Divine Consciousness with all your might, stirring your Divine Consciousness into the Token's forbidden barrier.

Buzz~Buzz~ Huzz, Li Yan only felt that his divine consciousness was like an egg hitting a stone, as if his entire brain was about to be shattered into eight petals, and just this once, his divine consciousness was damaged. A mouthful of blood couldn't help but spurt out of his mouth and spit on the token. Immediately afterwards, Li Yan felt as if the heavens and the earth had been turned upside down, and fainted straight.

What he didn't know was that the moment he fainted, a burst of red light appeared from the token stained with his blood.

Long...

"Huh? Where am I? Li Yan looked at everything in front of him with some surprise, all around was foggy, but not white fog, but blood-red, and the range visible to his eyes was only about ten zhang. The red mist kept rolling, as if something was about to emerge. At this time, a huge head protruded from the red mist, two giant eyes were the size of a wheel, and the top of the head had horns, which were about a zhang long in a spiral shape. The whole face was terrifying, the skin was wrinkled together, the eyes were blood-red, and the pitch-black fangs were intertwined.

The appearance of such a giant is almost a distance from Li Yan's face.

When he boarded, Li Yan was frightened and scattered.

cough~cough~ Li Yan coughed slightly a few times and woke up. I rubbed my temples that were a little painful, and I still felt palpitations when I recalled the scene just now. What kind of terrible monster was that, Li Yan had never seen such a species before. The spiritual pressure emitted made Li Yan feel as if he was a leaf floating in the sea, swept up into the air by a huge wave. Its spirit could not withstand it for a moment.

Shaking his head, which was not yet sober, he thought with some confusion that he was a monk, and his seventh-layer divine sense was not weak, so why did he fall into a dream for no reason? You must know that monks will not easily enter the dream realm, and most of the reason they enter the dream realm is because their minds are unstable and there is a risk of the realm falling.

Li Yan, who was puzzled, suddenly remembered that he was probing the token before.

This... What's going on!

Li Yan looked at the Eight Immortals table dumbfounded, where was there still the shadow of the token. He searched all the places in the vicinity, but there was still no trace of the token.

This is strange, could it be that the token has wings and flies away? Li Yan checked the room and confirmed that no one had come, and he was even more puzzled.

Just when he was in doubt, the piece of communication pendant given by Hou San suddenly emitted a green light, and it flashed that it was Hou San who had come to the news. Immediately pressed the move to find the token.

"Li Daoyou, what you entrusted to Hou has been done, tomorrow morning in the cyclamen to wait for a certain person to go to Danding Pavilion with you, and introduce Master Liu Zhentao to you. Remember, don't procrastinate, Master Liu is most jealous of others not being punctual. Li Yan's consciousness swept away, and the voice of Hou San came from the communication Lingpei.

After listening to Hou San's words, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Li Yan's mouth, it seems that Hou San is still relatively reliable.

took out the access control card and pressed the button, and Xiao Linzi appeared in front of Li Yan after a while.

"Xiao Linzi, help me get a bucket of hot water, I want to bathe and change clothes." Li Yan said lightly.

"Yes, Immortal Master." Xiao Linzi said respectfully.

After a while, Li Yan lay quietly in the bathtub, and the warm bath water was just right, which made him moan a little comfortably.

I hope that Master Liu Zhentao can get rid of the erysipelas on my body, and if I really let Li Yan return to his previous cultivation, I must take this path of cultivation, become the most powerful existence in the world, and control my own destiny!

Thinking like this, Li Yan's eyes showed a hint of determination.

The three major sects of cultivation in the south are the Imperial Beast Tower in the northwest, the Danding Pavilion in the southeast and the Duobao Pavilion in the middle. These three major sects have mastered the cultivation resources of the entire southern country, and casual cultivation can only survive in the gap between the three sects, and their lives are difficult and difficult, and they are desperate to work hard for a little bit of cultivation resources. The monks who did not join the three major sects basically had no chance with the high-level cultivators. Therefore, joining the three major sects in the south is the true way to cultivate.

Among them, the Royal Beast Building is the most powerful of the three factions, and the disciples of the Royal Beast Building, with the help of spirit beasts, can almost one-on-two, single-handedly take on the monks of Danding Pavilion and Duobao Pavilion. And the disciples of Duobao Pavilion are famously shrewd and rich, and they have a lot of cultivation resources. Danding Pavilion is a harmony between the two, and Duobao Pavilion is complementary.

However, Danding Pavilion is a sect that all Southern Monks do not want to offend, no matter how powerful you are, you always need to cultivate with pills, and Danding Pavilion is the first alchemy sect in the Southern Kingdom. Liu Zhentao is the great master of the late stage of Danding Pavilion Judan, and is known as the holy hand of medicine by the monks of the southern kingdom, and what he is best at is the treatment of various incurable diseases suffered by the monks. Although it is said that monks will not be as sick as mortals, but because the body is damaged by the fighting method, or the spirit poison is given, such a master is needed to treat him. Therefore, when it comes to Master Liu Zhentao, the monks of the entire southern country are very admired.
