"Ah, doesn't that mean that if I don't fully grasp the Xuanyin Qi, even if my cultivation reaches the Returning Yuan Realm, I can only live for about thirty or forty years?" Li Yan said in surprise.

"That's it, Xuanyin Qi is such a thing, martial artists below the Yin and Yang Realm will die if they touch it, you can pick up a life is already thankful, if you didn't have the original body, you would have died a long time ago. The old man replied affirmatively.

"Also, what's the second solution? Li Yan pondered for a while and asked again. He had been completely defeated now, and he really didn't have much confidence if he wanted to cultivate to the Psychic Realm in thirty or forty years.

"The second solution is to keep looking for some heavenly and earthly treasures that can sustain your life when your longevity is approaching, and extend your longevity until you have completely mastered the Xuanyin Qi or cultivated to reach the psychic realm. The old man said.

"Okay. Although Li Yan believed that what the old man said was true, he still felt a little mysterious, so he asked him directly: "Then what is the third hidden danger in me?"

The old man pondered for a while and said, "As for the third sequelae, that is, this time you almost lose your mind by triggering the Xuanyin Qi, so that some of the Yin Qi in the body of the Xuanyin Qi invades your soul, this situation may cause you to have hallucinations in your spirit from time to time, and after a long time, it may also affect your mind. ”

"So serious?" Hearing the old man's words, Yang Ming couldn't help but be surprised, and then asked a little nervously, "Is there a solution then?"

"There is only one solution, then cultivate as soon as possible. Wait until your cultivation reaches the psychic realm and after casting the primordial god, use the power of the primordial spirit to expel the yin qi in the soul. Naturally, this hidden danger can be solved, and now, you can only suppress it by your own will. The old man explained.

"This... Can I ask, what would happen if I couldn't suppress it if I hadn't cultivated to the Psychic Realm?" Li Yan asked cautiously.

"It's not going to be good, a long-term mental hallucination, at most, you can't distinguish between reality and illusion. And then your sanity will be gradually eroded, making you complaining and killing. The worst outcome is to become an irrational murderer, who will not be life-threatening, don't worry. The old man said sarcastically.

"Uh!" Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly. "Then how long do I have left?" will you lose your mind?"

"This kind of thing, of course, is solved as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the greater the impact on you, if the time is too long, even if the problem is solved by then, the mental damage will not be able to be remedied. The old man said.

"Hehe, all three are sequelae that can threaten my life. Could it be that this is the consequence of premature exposure to forces that you can't control?" Li Yan said with a wry smile.

"Of course, but this time it's not entirely unfavorable for you. For example, your current spiritual power is much stronger than before, haven't you noticed?" the old man suddenly smiled and said.

"Spiritual power?" Hearing this, Li Yan sensed it and found that his spiritual power seemed to be indeed a lot stronger, so he said again: "Indeed, I feel that my spiritual power seems to be stronger than before. ”

"Is it just getting stronger? You're taking a closer look. The old man said suddenly.

"Uh... I've been patronizing and sad for the past few days, and I've not paid attention to this aspect of things. Li Yan said a little embarrassedly, then sensed it slightly, and continued: "I feel that my current spiritual power is indeed much stronger than before, and there seem to be some other changes, it seems to be different from before." ”

"Oh, tell me about it, what is the difference between your current mental power and what it used to be. The old man smiled.

"Huh?" Li Yan thought for a while and said, "I feel that my current spiritual power seems to be sharper and faster than before, and my spiritual power used to be only able to detect and perceive, but now it seems to be more aggressive, just ......like this." As he spoke, Li Yan's heart moved, and the spiritual seed in his mind immediately turned into a sharp dagger.

"That's right. The old man nodded and said, "Generally speaking, a martial artist's spiritual power does not have the ability to attack before cultivating to reach the Gathering Top Realm, and the spiritual power transformation and spiritual attack are both signs of a martial artist who has stepped into the Gathering Top Realm. ”

"Are you saying that my current spiritual power has reached the level of a Gathering Top Realm powerhouse?" Li Yan asked in surprise.

"Your current situation can only be said to be that the spiritual realm has reached the level of the Gathering Top Realm, as for the strength and strength of the spiritual power, it is still far from being comparable to the real Gathering Top Realm martial artists. The old man shook his head and said.

"Uh, in this way, then my spiritual power can be transformed now, is there any benefit?" Li Yan was depressed for a moment and asked again.

"Spiritual power has no lethal power for the physical body, it can only attack the opponent's spiritual power, now your spiritual power has the ability to attack, if in the battle of the same realm, you suddenly attack your enemy with mental power, it will make the opponent's spirit produce a moment of trance, in the battle of the same realm, if one party suddenly loses consciousness, what do you think will happen?" the old man smiled slightly and said.

"The winner will be determined in an instant!" Li Yan immediately said, and said excitedly: "A battle at the level of the Innate Realm, let alone losing one's mind, even if it is a momentary distraction, it may affect the outcome of the battle." ”

"Hehe, this is the best news I've heard today. Li Yan said with a smile. Obviously, now he has come out of the grief of the death of his sister Li Xinyu.

"Hey, this is Xiaobai, why is it here!" Suddenly, Li Yan saw a black cat with a length of two feet lying motionless on the side of his bed, and immediately reached out to lift it up, and said with a surprised expression.

"It has used its soul talent to protect your sister's soul, so it is now in a state of slumber similar to suspended animation, and I am afraid that it will not wake up for a long time. The old man said.

Li Yan didn't speak, just looked at the unconscious alien soul beast with a grateful face.

"After this incident, I think you should also understand the cost of relying on external forces, so from now on, you must learn to solve everything with your own strength, and don't always rely on borrowed power. The old man suddenly said in a deep voice.

"I see. Li Yan nodded and replied seriously, and the old man was right, after this incident, Li Yan has deeply realized the importance of his own strength, so even if the old man doesn't tell him today, he will definitely not easily borrow foreign power in the future.

"Hehe, don't promise too simply, after experiencing the powerful power, it is not easy to resist this temptation, as for the power of Xuanyin Qi, you can use it at any time, as long as you can afford to pay the price...... The old man suddenly smiled and said.

"Hehe, don't worry, I don't want to be a short-lived ghost who died young, and besides, I will definitely master the power of Xuanyin Qi thoroughly, it won't take long......" Li Yan clenched his fists and said firmly.

"It's good that you have this confidence!" the old man replied lightly, and then said, "By the way, if you're okay now, it's best to hurry up and go to that little white deer, if I'm not mistaken, there should be a place of pure yang qi there." ”

"Well, I'm fine now, I'll leave tomorrow and go to the White Deer Mountains. Hearing this, Li Yan nodded and said.

"Also, after the Soul Beast fell into a deep sleep, it has no defenses at all, and it can't be touched casually while it is sleeping, so you'd better take it with you. The old man pondered for a while, and then said suddenly.

"Take it with you?" Hearing this, Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "This, Xiaobai's body is a bit big now, can I put it in the Sumeru ring?"

"Of course not, you can't put living things in your low-level Sumeru ring. The old man replied in the affirmative, and then said, "By the way, I remember that when you were in the White Deer Mountains, you seemed to have encountered a Mikong snail, and if you find it, you may be able to solve this problem."
