The three of them under the tree were chatting with each other, Chen An, Li Yin and the others obviously looked a little absent-minded, and from time to time they glanced at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, and then saw Li Yan walking out of it, and couldn't help but be happy, they also inquired about the situation from Liu Chengyong just now, although they heard that it was to complete the personal information in the army, but they couldn't help but feel puzzled in their hearts, like this kind of thing is also very big, after all, the military chief still needs to be responsible for the officials appointed by the imperial court, and it is small and small, this is not a key position, to put it bluntly, this is also a matter of a sentence from the local magistrate.

Li Yan saw that the three of them greeted him, so he said with a smile, "It's done, hehe, I still have to go to see Li Shan and them, and then how about we go to eat and drink at noon?"

Liu Chengyong has no opinion, seeing Li Yan come out so soon, although he still feels that something is strange in his heart, but seeing him come out with a smile on his face, it is really not a big deal to think about coming to Dashuai's side, not to mention that he has the opportunity to get closer to Li Yan at noon, and he agreed at the moment.

Although Chen An and Li Yin wanted to go back earlier, they didn't dare to say it, so they had to nod their heads and say yes.

The four of them went to the "Iron Pavilion" to find Li Shan, Li Shan was very happy to see Li Yan coming, Li Yan immediately sent Chen An and Li Yin to personally go to Li Shan's master Lu Kui to ask Li Shan for leave, and he and Li Shan entered the "Iron Pavilion" to talk.

Liu Chengyong was alone, so he turned around in the "Iron Pavilion" alone, and from time to time he saw good weapons, and he was also very interested in picking them up and dancing with them.

After a while, Li Yan and Li Shan walked out, but when Li Shan first came out, he was a little puzzled, but Li Yan put his arm around his shoulders and laughed and asked him to call his senior brother Liang Shi together, and everyone went to the "Natural Wine House" to find Li Yu, and a table was opened there at noon, and the seven people drank bitterly.

In the afternoon, Li Yan and the three of them rode back in a slight drunkenness, and in the rest of the days, Li Yan obviously cultivated and made all the improvements, and his mood was also very stable.

Time flies, the spring is infinite, the grass is already growing, Li Yan has been in the military mansion for more than half a year, he is soaking in the cold pool at this time, his eyes are slightly closed, his upper body is naked, only the part above the shoulders is exposed, there is heat emanating from his body and curling into the air, his current breath has a layer of condensation that has just entered the peak of the early stage, but his current appearance is not very good, and there are faint traces of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Since last winter, he has cultivated hard, and after a period of time, his realm has increased, but his personality has become more and more irritable, in addition to going into the city once in a while, he has a lot of strange behaviors, every time he returns from the city, he will buy more clothes, belts, boots and other items, which makes the third junshi's divine sense annoying.

In addition to cultivation, he either soaked in the waterhole, or closed the door and scribbled ink in the house, and then somehow had to shovel all the vegetables in a vegetable garden on the south side of the original waterhole, and he made a lot of unknown wildflowers from the mountains outside the valley to plant in the middle, and for a time all kinds of wildflowers and grasses in the valley were grown, and the fragrance was mixed, and even those cool clothes were sticky with the fragrance of flowers, so that the third division was full of a lot of flowers when he went to the city several times to participate in the affairs of the army, so that Marshal Hong and a group of soldiers all looked sideways, and the third division had to smile helplessly。

That vegetable garden was planted by the third division before some greens and a few flowers, occasionally watering, fertilizing, and stopping in the meantime, in fact, this is also a way for the third division to calm the irritability in the chest, but now it is very delicate by Li Yan, from a distance, it looks like a colorful big dye vat, he just shook his head after seeing it.

As long as Li Yan's cultivation is still improving, he is basically letting him do now, but Li Yan has been around for a while, and he seems to be getting restless in his chest, and after cultivation, he will always have blood at the corner of his mouth, as if he can't suppress it, which makes Ji Junshi worried, and he also checked the condition in his body, and noticed that the wood aura in his body was faintly mixed, and there seemed to be some fire spiritual power, which couldn't help but make him start to worry, but at present, Li Yan can still suppress it, and his cultivation is still improving, otherwise, he has already moved to take advantage of the fact that the spiritual power in Li Yan's body is relatively pure, and he has absorbed his spiritual power idea in advance, but after a period of time, The wood spiritual power in Li Yan's body began to slowly become pure again, and the number of times he vomited blood was also less, which made him suppress this idea.

Li Yan soaked in the pool, with a few traces of blood hanging on the corners of his mouth, and closed his eyes slightly, as if enjoying the cold air in the pool, but in fact, it was not, at this moment Li Yan was borrowing the aura that slowly overflowed from the bottom of the pool, running the "Dehydration Sutra".

After these months of hard training, now his "Decination Water True Sutra" has reached the middle stage of the first layer of condensation, and his cultivation speed is quite fast, even in the Immortal Gate, this speed is not bad, but in this place where the spiritual energy is not sufficient, it is a little strange to be like this.

It's just that Li Yan doesn't compare his cultivation with anyone, he just feels that his cultivation is still too slow, although he will spend most of the day soaking in this waterhole to practice every day, and he will often come to soak in it in the middle of the night to practice, but he still feels that he is pressed for time, but there is no way, other times he has to pretend to practice "Muyin Gong" and perform, in the morning he has to make a show in the house, practice "Muyin Gong", and the rest have to be properly sprinkled.

He only has one idea now, to improve his spiritual cultivation and use it as the capital to fight for his life.

After another half an hour, Li Yan's eyelashes trembled, but his eyes did not open, and he ended his daytime practice today, but at this time, he was thinking about the past few months in his heart.

"My cultivation speed is still too slow, and I obviously feel that my improvement has been very small in the past few days, and I don't know why. ”

Li Yan didn't know that his early speed was very fast, on the one hand, he had just entered the first layer of condensing qi, and his meridians were several times wider than those of normal cultivators who reached the first layer of condensing qi, so it was faster to absorb spiritual qi and cultivate; But since entering the middle stage of the first layer of condensation, the aura here has begun to be unable to keep up, and cultivation is originally the more difficult it is to improve later, especially when it comes to the Jindan and Yuan infant stages, it is normal to be stuck for hundreds of years.

"Although I haven't shown all my strength now, I have only shown a little bit to the peak of the early stage of the first layer of condensation, but this is also one of the conditions to ensure that I can survive at present, otherwise I will still stay in the entry stage for a few months, and I guess he will already think that I am overwhelmed and will not be so patient to wait. ”

After Li Yan cultivated the "Decane Water True Sutra" for a period of time, he found that his cultivation speed was very fast, which couldn't help but make him worried, for fear that Ji Junshi would see what was different, but this problem, after he entered the divine consciousness and carefully studied the "Decane Water True Sutra", after repeated attempts, it was solved.

"Qi is long, gathered in the sea, scattered and hidden" at first he didn't quite understand, and later through some attempts, he learned that the mana practiced by this 'Guishui True Sutra' can be freely scattered in the five spiritual power cylinders in the dantian, so that the surface display is the level of the highest spiritual power tank, but this kind of monk can only conceal not much higher than himself, so that he can't see the true cultivation;

"Some time ago, when he cultivated, he was injured by mistake and vomited some blood, so he had to disperse some of the fire spiritual power to show that it was the cause of fire poison, so he couldn't bear it anymore, but fortunately, his cultivation has made progress recently, and he has hidden the fire spiritual power, so he has this thought again. It's just that with the improvement of my mana, I can now feel that the fire poison in his body is getting stronger and stronger, and I don't think time is running out. ”

Although Li Yan was unable to detach his senses, with the sense that he was now also a monk, he could also faintly feel that there was more and more fire poison in the body of the third military division, and when he could no longer suppress it, it would be the moment of his own death, and at that time, no matter how far he cultivated, the third military division would not wait any longer.

"These few times I went out, and I also reached some consensus with Hong Linying through Liu Chengyong in the form of letters, as long as he can help me get out of trouble, I will give him the 'Muyin Gong' exercises, and now all that remains is to find a time, but we must not wait too long. ”

Li Yan was thinking in his heart, he was not only thinking about how to escape now, he had a bigger plan, that is, how to kill the third division, otherwise his relatives at home might not be able to escape the wrath of the third division.

Yesterday, the third division also came to guide his cultivation, but the eyes that looked at Li Yan changed a little, becoming gentler and more kind, but it was only shown on his grayer and darker face, which made Li Yan feel the urgency of time.

"Then it's set in two months, and it's early summer, so I'm going to have to fight it anyway."

Li Yan closed his eyes in the pool, and his underwater hands were clenched into fists.

Millions of miles away from the green mountain pass, in the deep forest, on the top of the mountain peak into the clouds of the grand palace.

"Elder He, what is the matter with coming here today?" the green-shirted Confucian smiled and looked at the old man in the green robe.

"Peak Master, the five years of each peak competition, the subordinates have discussed with several other elders, this time there are about twenty elite disciples and several true disciples who participated in the competition in this peak, these people were all selected by the inner hall some time ago. ”

"Oh, it's just that there are not many true disciples, but this year, there are fewer elite disciples participating in this peak, five years ago I remember that there were as many as thirty in this peak. ”

"Oh, this is less than before, in recent years, there are not too many new disciples in each peak, and many people with spiritual roots have been accepted by those so-called decent Taoists, Buddhas, and Confucians. The old man said with some curtle.

"Hehe, are those 'famous and decent'? They will make good use of the hearts of the people in the mortal world, they use the Taoist temples, temples, and lecture halls in the mortal world to constantly brainwash, but they have snare a lot of good immortal seedlings. ”

"Yes, Peak Lord, this is really not much for a sect like this, and there is really not much contact with mortals. After a pause, he continued.

"But no matter how few peaks I have, there are more than Xiaozhu Peaks, and almost all of them have participated in a few years," said the old man of the Eagle Falcon.

"Senior Brother Wei's place, hehe, there are less than twenty of them plus miscellaneous servants, and there are seven disciples under them, if you remove the three people who have entered the middle stage of foundation building and above, of course there are only a few people who can participate. When Confucius heard this, his face showed helplessness.

"Okay, let's not talk about Senior Brother Wei's side, there are more than 20 people on our side this time, I hope that two or three people will enter the top ten in the early stage of foundation building, and three people will enter the top ten in the competition in the condensation period, do you know?"

"Peak Lord ......" the old man of the eagle falcon showed a bitter face.

"What's the matter, don't you have confidence? Could it be that the people below have cultivated this in the past five years?"

"Peak master, the other peaks are not given for nothing, just take Xiaozhu Peak as an example, don't look at those few people participating, but those few people enter their corresponding realm competition, and the top ten are very sure. ”

"Hmph, that's your business, you tell me to go on, if the result of this competition is not good, several of you elders will detain the offerings. ”

"Okay, Peak Master," the Eagle Falcon said helplessly, but he thought in his heart, "When I go back, I will agree with a few elders to put pressure on these rabbit cubs, otherwise, the cultivation resources for the next five years will also be severely deducted from them." ”

"Okay, if it's okay, you can go down first. Seeing that the old man was no longer speechless, Confucius waved his hand and said.

"Lord Qibingfeng, there is another matter, the matter of looking for the person who is 'looking for an immortal line', a letter has been sent back today. The old man said hurriedly.

"Oh, do you mean the person who took the cultivation method from that outer disciple?"

"Yes, we expanded the scope of our search, and finally found a clue in a place called 'Qingshan Pass' on the eastern edge of Daqingshan, where a military advisor in the imperial garrison may be the person we are looking for, he has bought medicinal herbs from a nearby town pharmacy in the past few years, and these medicinal herbs are all in our secret recipe. ”

"Garrison, military advisor, in this case, you should need to check carefully, otherwise the officials among the mortals, especially the border military officials, will cause other sects to talk about it, leave the handle, immortals are different, as long as it is not a mortal to provoke us, we will not do anything to them, although we are not a decent family, this point is to be guarded. ”

"Yes, Peak Master, I also arranged it this way, because of the recent five-year competition in the faction, some law enforcement disciples who need to participate in the competition have come back one after another, and now only some of the people in the middle and late stages of condensation are left over there, and once it is found out, they will start to arrest them. ”

"That's okay, I think I've been looking for medicinal materials everywhere in the past few years, and the realm won't be high, and there are enough disciples in the middle and late stages of condensation. ”
