Time flies like a white horse, day after day, time does not come again, there is no morning in a day.

Since Li Yan returned from Fang City, another three months have passed.

In the early morning of this day, Li Yan stood in the courtyard, looking at a huge ancient ape who was busy watering the spiritual field in the corner, and was stunned.

Now it's the middle of winter again, and it's only three days away from the end of the year, but there is basically no difference between the four seasons of this Dragon Spirit Sect throughout the year, maybe it's the season, maybe it's the means of immortal cultivators, there is no sense of midwinter in the hometown, let alone the heavy snow in winter, Li Yan can only see a trace of the alternation of seasons from the ink bamboo leaves in the ups and downs of these mountains.

In winter, the bamboo leaves are wide and dark, almost black, giving a feeling of thickness and solidity.

In spring, the bamboo leaves all over the mountains receded and grew tender green bamboo leaves, small, pointy, with the freshness of rain.

When the spring goes to the summer solstice, the pieces of bamboo leaves slowly begin to become wide and thick, the color is green, like verdant dripping, there is often a small bird with a very bright color, it will stand on the bamboo branch, stretch out the thin pointed beak, gently peck the wide bamboo leaf, there will be a stream of green juice flowing out, it does not dislike its bitter taste at all, in the bamboo branch keeps jumping lightly, the sharp beak gently sucks the emerald green juice, and sometimes makes a cheerful chirp.

After the autumn wind rises, the whole Xiaozhufeng Mountain is shrouded in a deep dark green ocean, only to see the bamboo waves rise and fall layer by layer, the ink waves roll, and you can't see any scenery in the peak at all.

"It's another year and a year, father, mother, third brother, fourth sister......" Li Yan was full of thoughts, the big spoon of flowing water raised high by the courtyard wall, in the crystal of practice, Li Yan seemed to see himself standing in the field, his father and the third brother were driving alone, pulling one by one, and after the ridge reached the end, he smiled at himself in the sweat.

After a long while, the ancient ape finished watering, put the bucket and the big spoon on the edge of the field, and soon came to Li Yan, stood still and smiled at Li Yan, and then stood still.

Li Yan woke up from his trance, looked at the ancient ape in front of him, and slowly showed joy in his eyes. This ancient ape is the puppet given by Bai Rou, Li Yan spent half a day practicing the manipulation technique after coming back, and then began to try to manipulate, with the increase of the number of times, from the initial jerky to slowly familiar, to also smooth, in this process Li Yan did not find anything abnormal about this puppet, let alone any accidental discovery.

It's just that after the puppet was restored and enlarged, after seeing the structure in its body, the dense spirit stone trough surprised Li Yan, there were as many as eighty.

Li Yan filled eighty low-level spirit stones in the heartache, and after some practice and control to make himself gradually familiar, he took this puppet to a remote place in the back mountain, he commanded this ancient ape puppet to send out a full attack, the target is a stone wall a hundred zhang away in front, this puppet just raised its long arm, crossed its hands, quickly closed it into a fist and raised it high, when it was raised to the top of the head, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared above the fist, and suddenly the whole world in Li Yan's eyes was bright, so that Li Yan couldn't help but close his eyes, and at the moment when he closed his eyes and opened them again, the ancient ape puppet clenched his fists with both hands and slashed down from the top of his head, As if to cut the world in front of him, with its downward split, the dazzling white light has quickly detached itself from its fist, into a straight line and slashed forward, the next moment Li Yan was dumbfounded A scene happened, where the white mang passed, no matter how thick the ink bamboo was impacted into flying ash, there was a straight line ravine about four feet deep on the hard rock on the ground, a straight route went forward, the mud and stone splashed, and finally the white mang directly hit the towering stone wall a hundred zhang away, maybe the speed was too fast, and there was no sound at the moment when the white mang hit the stone wall。

After a short silence, Li Yan heard a loud noise in his ears and eyes, a white light burst out, snatching people's eyes, shining the world, and the defenseless Li Yan was dizzy, buzzing in his ears, and it took a while for Li Yan to come to his senses, and when he stared at it, he couldn't help but gasp, and a big hole about ten zhang wide appeared on the stone wall a hundred zhang away, and the big hole was still emitting bursts of dust and smoke at the moment, Li Yan couldn't help but be frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

The big hole seemed to be bottomless, and it had extended all the way to the interior of the mountain, and Li Yan finally checked it with his divine sense, and it was more than 1,700 zhang, which made Li Yan feel chills in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that the attack in the early stage of foundation building was so powerful. It can be seen that the battle between the foundation building monks that Li Yan had seen in the secret realm before was either left behind, or the spiritual power had been skillfully controlled to the subtle realm, and it was rarely leaked when attacking the opponent.

Li Yan thought about Gong Chenying's relaxed appearance when they fought against each other, and when they were under the attack of the middle and late stages of Zhuji, which was even more powerful than this, Li Yan once again felt the huge gap between him and Zhuji, and he was also glad that he was lucky enough to kill the Zhuji monk, if it was a head-to-head battle, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

And after this earth-shattering loud noise, all the birds in the forest flew together, and there was not much time, just when Li Yan was staring at the big cave in a daze, Wei Chituo had turned into a ray of light and flew quickly, with anger on his face. After figuring out the situation, Wei Chituo looked at the puppet with envy in his eyes, and circled around the ancient ape puppet several times, finding a tsk sound in his mouth from time to time, and only then left in the last continuous praise.

Li Yan was overjoyed to see this attack, this was a life-saving means for him, but when he checked the ancient ape puppet, he couldn't help but feel a little heartache, the eighty spirit stones embedded in the puppet only hit once, and the light had dimmed to the fullest, then these eighty spirit stones were estimated to be only enough for two attacks at most, for this consumption speed, Li Yan finally accepted it helplessly, after all, this is equivalent to a blow in the early stage of foundation building. Fortunately, now Li Yan is still relatively wealthy, and he still doesn't have to worry about these spirit stones.

And Li Yan has a guess, even if this is the case, it may not be the full force of this puppet, he only has low-grade spirit stones in his hand, what if it is filled with eighty medium-grade spirit stones? If that's the case, he doesn't know if the formation inside this puppet can withstand the power of eighty medium-grade spirit stones, thinking about this matter makes Li Yan's scalp tingle, and he plans to find an opportunity to ask Bai Rou is is.

This is also Li Yan's current realm is not in the realm of foundation building, and he can't know exactly what the power of the full force of the monk in the early stage of foundation building is.

However, what made Li Yan a little relieved was that as long as it wasn't for this kind of attack, such as only letting the puppet do some miscellaneous things, the consumption of those eighty spirit stones would be almost negligible.

Li Yan stood in front of that mountain rock for a long time, and slowly a thought rose, he never knew what level of combat power he had reached since he stabilized in the tenth layer of condensation, and he didn't want to go to his senior brother and sister to try the move, so that his secret would be exposed, and now with this ancient ape puppet, it can be easily tested.

In this way, under the control of Li Yan's divine sense, the puppet attacked him, and constantly increased the intensity of the attack little by little, and Li Yan did not dodge, and used immortal magic to fight against it, and after consuming nearly three hundred spirit stones in the end, Li Yan finally determined that he could take about seventy percent of the puppet's attack, eighty percent was already very reluctant, when the puppet attack was raised to ninety, Li Yan estimated that even if he could continue, he would be seriously injured. As for the puppet's full attack, Li Yan didn't dare to imagine it at all, and he didn't dare to try it anyway.

This is still the record of Li Yan's spiritual power in his body being about twice as much as that of a monk of the same level, which shows the gap between the foundation building period and the qi condensation period, which makes Li Yan can't help but think that Wen Xinliang and they killed the two women in the woods, but it was just a matter of raising their hands.

In the courtyard, Li Yan looked at the puppet in front of him who was more than half taller than him, and liked it more and more, with such a puppet by his side, Bai Rou was really willing, as long as the formation in its body was functioning normally, even if it was a broken arm and leg, it still had the ability to attack.

"Now I should be able to easily take on eighty percent of its attacks. Li Yan thought in his heart, in the past three months, he has not slackened, every day back and forth to the secret room, penance to practice the Poor Qi Purgatory Technique, when the spiritual power in the body is exhausted, he will practice the De Shui Sutra cross-legged, and Li Yan gradually found that these two exercises are surprisingly matched, each refining is an excellent means to hone the physical body and spiritual power, and the spiritual power cultivated by the De Shui True Scripture is very pure and strong, each time it can meet Li Yan's cultivation of the Poor Qi Purgatory for at least three weeks, which makes Li Yan Poor Qi Purgatory Progress very rapidly. And the Decane Water Sutra is even more crazy about the operation of the empty spiritual power cylinder after refining the body, once Li Yan's spiritual power cylinder is consumed every time, the Deshui True Sutra swallows the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, like a long whale absorbing water, and quickly sucks out the spiritual energy around it, fortunately, if the spiritual energy in the secret room is endless, Li Yan is not worried. And after cultivating again, the spiritual power will be more condensed than before, making Li Yan feel that the spiritual power is getting thicker and thicker, as if a small tree has roots.

What Li Yan didn't know was that when Gong Chenying and Zhao Min were cultivating the first layer of Qiqi Purgatory, they could only cultivate once a day, and they needed to meditate and recover to the second day before they could continue to cultivate.

After cultivating so hard in the past three months, Li Yan of Qiqi Purgatory had actually reached the peak of the early stage of the first layer, and faintly had the appearance of breaking through to the middle stage of the first layer. Li Yan is now even if he clenched his fist, the air in the fist was squeezed and made a muffled explosion sound, Li Yan tried to attack in the back mountain, and easily swept with one leg, the tough ink bamboo with a thick arm can easily sweep two or three, if you want to know that this is a real sweep, not a break.

Previously, when Li Yan was condensing qi in the seventh layer, he used the Wind Blade Technique to hit the ink bamboo with a thick arm, and at most he could only knock down and break one, that is, after the position attacked by the Wind Blade Technique was cracked, a strip of bamboo strips was formed, so that this point could no longer support the weight of the entire ink bamboo, and fell to the side. However, with the current cultivation of Li Yan's ten-layer condensation qi, it should be possible to break it with the wind blade technique, but it can only break two.

With the improvement of the Qiqi Purgatory Technique, Li Yan's food consumption is increasing day by day, and he needs to take two to four Bigu Pills almost every day, otherwise that kind of hunger can make Li Yan feel that he can eat an elephant alive, and before he cultivated the Qiqi Purgatory Technique, a Bigu Pill can make Li Yan not eat for seven or eight consecutive days.

Although Bigu Dan works well, the taste is like chewing wax, but Li Yan doesn't want to go to the front of the miscellaneous servants to ask for food, it is estimated that the amount of his meal can catch up with the food of everyone there combined for a day, so it will not scare those miscellaneous servants to death. This also made Li Yan wonder if Gong Chenying and Zhao Min had cultivated the Qiqi Purgatory Technique before, but what he didn't know was that the two of them could practice this technique for one week a day was already the limit, so like him, it could be done for three weeks in one breath, which was three times as much as them, and this consumption was unimaginable.

The effect of such hard work is eye-catching, Li Yan can now easily lift three thousand catties of boulders with a flick of his arms, and he can easily pick up a thousand catties of boulders with a hook of his toes. And the tenth-layer cultivator of the ordinary Qi Condensation Period, his strength is only between seven hundred and one thousand catties.

clenched his fist, and the invisible aura in the small courtyard became a little restless." My current cultivation has reached the late stage of the tenth layer of Qi Condensation, and it is not a problem to take on the eighty percent attack of this puppet, even if it is ninety percent of the attack, it is estimated that I can also try it without serious injury, but it is necessary to use the body of Qi Qi Purgatory, maybe when it comes to the Great Perfection of the Qi Condensation Period, the spiritual power of the whole body will be condensed, and the body of Qi Qi Purgatory can barely take the full force of this ancient ape puppet's full blow, but after that blow, I should be able to lose my whole body, and I will not have any strength to fight, this kind of thing is better not to happen. ”
