Chapter 497: Ling Yu's Thorn
A cyan figure silently walked out of the fog of the South Heavenly Gate.
....
Nangong Xiaoyan quietly walked out of the Nantian Gate, and when he left the range of the ancient magic circle on the Nantian Gate, he immediately took a yellow spirit rune on his body that could hide his breath, and immediately walked into the mountain forest on the side.
After walking in the deserted wilderness and mountains and forests for more than an hour, and already a certain distance from Nantianmen, Nangong Xiaoyan cautiously flew through the forest at a low altitude in a way that was as imperceptible as possible.
After flying through the mountains and forests for more than two hours, Nangong Xiaoyan arrived in a densely wooded valley. After stopping in this valley, Nangong Xiaoyan stood cautiously for a moment, and only after feeling that there was nothing unusual before he came to a mountain wall on the east side of this valley.
There is a crack on this mountain wall that is about one zhang wide, which is covered by many mountain vines hanging down from the mountain wall, Nangong Xiaoyan took a shot out of thin air, and used Zhenyuan to pull the hanging mountain vines to one side, and then the whole person immediately swept into this crack.
After the crack went forward more than ten feet, the light dimmed, but the mountain wall appeared very smooth, as if it had been cut by hand with sharp tools.
After entering more than 100 zhang inside, it was a faint glow, only to see that there were two simple stone rooms inside, with two spars with soft white light embedded on the top, one with only a futon, and a stone platform with a pill bottle.
In the other room, however, there were several equally rudimentary stone tables with materials such as rune paper, runic water, and hedrons.
As soon as Nangong Xiaoyan swept into these two stone chambers, he immediately stretched out a few small cyan flags, and the passage behind him suddenly disappeared, turning into a complete mountain wall, and a phantom array-like prohibition was immediately laid down.
After placing this prohibition, Nangong Xiaoyan first entered the stone room where many runes and other materials were placed, and then took a piece of blue rune paper and began to make the runes.
Nangong Xiaoyan seemed to be very skilled in making this rune, only to see that several materials turned into an ice-blue solution under his refining, and then wrapped in his true yuan, a trace of it was wrapped on the blue rune paper, and the ice-blue lines on the blue rune paper kept increasing, and gradually, dozens of mystical runes were completed on this blue rune paper, and a mana fluctuation with an icy aura was also emitted on the entire blue rune paper.
The last trace of ice-blue solution was printed into the blue rune paper, and after completing the last line of those runes on the blue rune paper, Nangong Xiaoyan casually put it in the wooden box on the side. His movements were very skillful and natural, and he didn't see any stiffness and sluggishness, and after completing this talisman, he didn't stop, and boiled several materials that rippled with fire and vitality into red talisman water in a small Dan furnace, and then began to take out a white jade piece, and use this white jade piece to make a talisman up.
After a full six hours, Nangong Xiaoyan stopped, and during this time, including the three scrapped talismans, he had refined a total of more than 30 talismans of various colors.
After refining so many talismans, Nangong Xiaoyan walked into another stone room, poured out more than ten cyan pills from a pill bottle on the stone platform, took them, and then sat cross-legged on the futon and cultivated.
In the next two days, every few hours, Nangong Xiaoyan stopped cultivating, took out some pills from the pill bottle on the side and swallowed them, and then continued to cultivate.
Two days later, all the pills in Nangong Xiaoyan's several pill bottles were empty, and Nangong Xiaoyan also stood up, walked to the stone room where he was refining talismans, and took the more than thirty talismans of various colors that he had refined before with him, and then collected the few small cyan flags and swept them out.
The aura of heaven and earth near this Nantian Gate is not abundant, so Nangong Xiaoyan's daily cultivation is basically supplemented by some pills.
Although Nangong Xiaoyan does not major in the talisman technique in Kunlun, the talisman he made is already a good thing for those low-level cultivators, since he left Kunlun, Nangong Xiaoyan has been refining talisman trading in exchange for some pills needed for cultivation, refining talismans is very proficient, and the success rate is also higher.
In order not to attract people's attention, among the talismans refined, ordinary talismans are the majority, some Kunlun unique talismans, Nangong Xiaoyan is not refined at all, like the more than 30 talismans refined by Nangong Xiaoyan now, only four or five talismans are of higher grade, and the value of the rest of the talismans is not high. It's just that Nangong Xiaoyan was born in a big sect like Kunlun, and he is also a disciple of the top ten golden immortals in Kunlun, and he has come into contact with more things than most cultivators, and in Nantianmen, he can also be like Luo Bei and others, and there are some good things that are not noticed by ordinary cultivators, so that Nangong Xiaoyan can basically be self-sufficient and buy the pills needed for cultivation.
But even so, Nangong Xiaoyan had to spend a lot of time refining talismans and spending a lot of time trading in Nantianmen, and his cultivation was much slower than when he was in Kunlun.
......
After leaving the valley where he lived, Nangong Xiaoyan flew in the direction of Nantianmen in the mountains and forests.
He had been walking this route for many days, not to mention that he had not encountered cultivators on weekdays, and he had not even encountered a slightly larger beast, so it could be said that it was very safe.
But along the route he often walked, he flew in the direction of Nantianmen for an hour or so, and when he was still about three hundred miles away from Nantianmen, Nangong Xiaoyan suddenly stopped without any warning.
"Who?"
After Nangong Xiaoyan stopped, he suddenly turned his head slightly to his left and said in a deep voice.
"Senior Brother Nangong, I didn't expect to be noticed by you so soon, but you don't have to be nervous, it's me. In the mountains and forests on the left, a faint silver light suddenly appeared, and a moment later, Thorn Ling Yu appeared.
At this moment, the Thorn Spirit Jade was still wearing the silver robe, but she didn't wear any mask, and there was a slight smile on her face that could be described as beautiful.
"This fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person. Nangong Xiaoyan's emotionless voice came out from under the mask, "I'm not your senior brother Nangong." ”
"Senior Brother Nangong, why are you so troubled?" Thorn Lingyu looked at Nangong Xiaoyan seriously, her eyes were filled with an indescribable complex emotion, "Although you changed your voice, I am so familiar with you, just by looking at your words and deeds, I already know that it is you... We thought you were dead, but we didn't expect to see you again here. ”
"You'll just think I'm dead. Nangong Xiaoyan was silent for a moment, and resumed his original voice, but he knew that he couldn't hide it, and he no longer hid anything.
"Senior Brother Nangong, you have to give me a reason after all. After all, we are senior brothers, and we thought that you had died at the hands of them, but we didn't expect you to be alive and in this Nantianmen. Thorn Lingyu looked at Nangong Xiaoyan, "Senior Brother Nangong, I would like to know why you left Kunlun and hid here incognito since you survived." ”
"Because Kunlun's Nangong Xiaoyan is dead. Nangong Xiaoyan looked at the Thorn Spirit Jade coldly, "If it weren't for someone else's technique that happened to be a little off that day, I would definitely not have woken up." I left Kunlun just because I didn't want to die a senseless death. ”
"Senseless death?" Thorn Lingyu shook his head, "Senior Brother Nangong, I still don't understand what you mean. ”
"You don't understand? I don't think Nangong Dao Treasure Uncle Ancestor will understand either. Nangong Xiaoyan said silently: "Since Emperor Chen Qing and they are all our people, why did Nangong Dao Zang Master and Uncle Ancestor die in their hands? Is it just to make Guan Wuxin more convinced that they are his people, in order to finally kill Guan Wuxin? Since they are our people, since the Phoenix Wushen Sect has already known, why give them a chance to move, is it just to lure out all the people who are without Xin and exterminate them in one fell swoop?.... There may not be anything wrong with him, but Ming Seventeen is not wrong either, they shouldn't just die in vain. ”
"I don't know how to explain that. A wry smile appeared on Ling Yu's face, "It seems that Senior Brother Nangong must have some misunderstanding, but since Senior Brother Nangong said that we... In my heart, I must have always regarded myself as a disciple of Kunlun. And I don't think there is any misunderstanding that can't be explained, Senior Brother Nangong, you are always from our Kunlun, why don't you follow me back, and the head teacher should explain it to you clearly... And even if you still have any dissatisfaction in your heart, as long as you bring it up to the Sect Leader, you can just cultivate in Kunlun with peace of mind, no matter anything else, the Sect Leader will definitely allow it, which is much better than if you are here and the same as the mountain and field cultivation. ”
"Senior Brother Thorn Lingyu, if you still think of our senior brother's old love and the love of the past, you will think that Kunlun's Nangong Xiaoyan is dead. Nangong Xiaoyan looked at the Thorn Lingyu and said slowly, "I am here in Nantianmen, I just want to live peacefully, and I will never participate in any disputes. ”
"Senior Brother Nangong.... ”
Thorn Lingyu was going to persuade him to do something more, but looking at the unusually firm look in Nangong Xiaoyan's eyes, he also sighed slightly, and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything, but if one day you figure it out and want to return to Kunlun, I will definitely ensure that you can return to Kunlun without incident." ”
"In that case, thank you Senior Brother Thorn Lingyu. Nangong Xiaoyan nodded at the Thorn Spirit Jade, glanced at the Thorn Spirit Jade deeply, turned around, and prepared to leave. "Senior Brother Nangong. But at this moment, Thorn Lingyu suddenly shouted Nangong Xiaoyan.
"What?" Nangong Xiaoyan turned around, but saw Thorn Lingyu handing him a jade box, "Senior Brother Nangong, you must not have brought anything with you when you go out of Kunlun, this box is the stone milk pill I carried, at least it can make your cultivation a little faster." ”
Nangong Xiaoyan's heart swelled with emotion, he nodded, didn't say anything, and took the jade box of the thorn spirit jade, but his hand had just touched the jade box of the thorn spirit jade, but the eyes of the thorn spirit jade suddenly flashed a trace of extremely cold light, as this extremely cold light appeared in the eyes of the thorn spirit jade, the thorn spirit jade suddenly opened its mouth, and a white light popped, hitting Nangong Xiaoyan's body, and Nangong Xiaoyan flew backwards and flew out.
