Volume 1 Two Years of Building the Foundation Chapter 144 Preparing for the Last Rain
Yan Yue knew that in another ten days, these people on the boat, except for Senior Brother Mu Feng, would be his enemies of life and death.
During his two-day journey, he kept a secret look at these people.
Most of these people are perfect in refining qi, or refining qi at the ninth level, and there are only a few at the eighth level of qi refining, and there is only Yan Yue at the "sixth layer of qi refining".
While Yan Yue was looking at others, everyone was also observing each other.
The good dog of Jin Jiaomen, his eyes have been aimed at Yan Yue, his brows are slightly furrowed, looking at it, he seems to have remembered something, and said with a slight suspicion: "You are the good servant in the broken temple a year and a half ago?"
The good dog finally remembered that before Yan Yue entered the Yunyang Sect, the two had this festival.
Yan Yue smiled noncommittally and did not speak.
The good dog seemed to confirm his memories, but there was still a hint of disbelief in his expression.
If Yan Yue was really the person who hadn't even reached the Qi refining period a year and a half ago, then he really needed to pay attention.
He asked himself, given a year and a half, he couldn't achieve the strength to defeat the eighth layer of qi refining with one punch from not yet becoming a cultivator.
He recalled the scene in the sky above the Great Cang Forest again, and his vigilance against Yan Yue was even stronger.
There was no show on his face, he glanced at the same door on the side, and smiled maliciously at Yan Yue, "Killing a sixth-layer qi refining layer in the ruins is like pinching an ant to death, this deal, I decided to do it." ”
His fellow disciple also looked up and smiled, high-fived him, showed a cruel smile, and looked at Yan Yue.
The other party was so provocative, Mu Feng saw it in his eyes, and the murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Good dog, I advise you to be at peace with us, if you really make a move, it will not be good for anyone!"
The good dog spread his hands and said, "It's not that I want to deal with him, you ask them how many people have received other people's spirit stones." As he spoke, he looked at the people he had sent.
Those people glanced at this side, swept over Yan Yue, smiled noncommittally, and did not speak.
Before leaving, Xiao Tianchai's cold gaze, Yan Yue saw it in his eyes, at this time, combined with everyone's expressions, his heart was already clear, and he secretly swore, "Xiao Tianchai, although you are the pride of the sect, if I can return to the sect alive, I will not let you go easily!"
Among the people, many people accepted bribes from Xiao Tianchai to deal with a sixth-layer qi refining layer, for them, it was just a gesture, and many people had already set Yan Yue as the target to kill casually after entering the ruins.
Whether it is the person who was bought by Xiao Tianchai, or other people who disdain to accept bribes from him, they are all powerful. What worries Yan Yue the most is not their cultivation, but their age.
Most of these people are middle-aged and above, calm, old, spicy, experience is several times that of Yan Yue, and combat experience is much richer than Yan Yue, who has only experienced a few actual battles.
Yan Yue wants to fight with these people, just like a fledgling bastard who doesn't know the world, comparing methods with old schemers.
Mu Feng also reminded Yan Yue of the voice, "Although the reputation of these people is not as good as that of the three geniuses, if they really make a move, none of the three geniuses can enter the top ten here." ”
It is said that the three geniuses are the top three masters in the Qi refining period in the Ten Factions Alliance, but at this time, Mu Feng belittled them so much, Yan Yue couldn't help but be a little difficult to discern, who was strong and who was weak.
Mu Feng said again: "The three geniuses are just people with outstanding cultivation qualifications, although these people cultivate quickly, but they are not necessarily strong in fighting with others, there are several treasures rewarded by the elders in the sect, plus their status, people of the same level, let them everywhere." But when it comes to actual combat, people who have stayed in the Qi refining period for many years are stronger, just like a young arithmetic prodigy, although it is amazing, but it is still inferior to the old arithmetic. ”
After Mu Feng's explanation, Yan Yue understood the truth, three talents and seven stars, it was only because of their fast cultivation speed that they obtained such a name, they were actually just cultivation experts under the age of twenty.
Take his cousin He Xiaofeng as an example, although he is one of the seven stars, if he really works with someone of the same level, he can hardly beat anyone.
It's just that in the sect, everyone is letting the hearts of these high-level sect leaders.
And the more than 20 people here stood out from the hundreds of thousands of Qi refining disciples of the Ten Sects, relying on their true strength. Although some people deliberately lost the competition because they didn't want to go to the ruins, these people who won were extremely confident, and they could be described as the strongest of the strong.
In addition, in terms of spiritual weapons, these people may be inferior to the three geniuses, but in terms of spells, after decades of cultivation, they have already mastered it.
Since Yan Yue defeated the three geniuses, his confidence has increased, but at the same time, he also has a trace of pride that even he is not aware of, which slowly grows in his heart.
At this time, this pride was swept away.
He secretly reminded himself that the reason why I was able to defeat the three geniuses was all because of the help of the treasure gourd. Defeating them with an unusual divine sense is not my own true strength, and if I fight with them, I will definitely not be their opponent, let alone a true master of the Qi Refining Period whose strength is stronger than theirs.
Thinking of the Divine Consciousness, Yan Yue thought of the Divine Consciousness incarnation that was still floating in the sky above Nanming, heading north.
At this time, the distance between the two was more than 300,000 miles, but he still did not appear because of the distance, and the situation that the big tiger had originally calculated.
Yan Yue's divine consciousness looked at the treasure gourd in the storage bag, and secretly said in his heart, could it be that my original divine consciousness is nourished in the treasure gourd all the time, so that I can always connect with the divine consciousness incarnation no matter how far away?
Regarding this problem, Yan Yue couldn't think through it, so he could only put it down for the time being.
The true five elements remnant divine power fire dragon flame passed on by the people of the Formation Foundation Dao, Yan Yue had already comprehended it thoroughly, as long as the part of the divine consciousness incarnation could return to the deity, he would not be able to build a foundation in his cultivation, and he would also be confident that he would be able to use it.
It's just that he can't do anything about the drifting of the incarnation of divine consciousness.
Yan Yue sold the hat spirit weapon at that time, and exchanged the five hundred spirit stones for the spirit wine, which was stored in the gourd space, and not long after leaving the sect, it had been gained to the peak, and he had never found a chance to drink it on the wind boat.
Thinking in his heart, before entering the ruins, he must find an opportunity to drink all the spiritual wine, and although he has reached the perfection of non-refining qi, he can also increase his cultivation a lot.
Cultivation is the amount of true element, and the amount of true element represents the amount of mana, as well as the upper limit of mana, and the speed of mana recovery.
When the time comes, enter the ruins and fight these masters, and mana is crucial.
Yan Yue competed with them, and it was not necessarily hoped that there would be no hope, in his storage bag, there were several mortal spirit weapons that had been placed in the gourd space for a short time, two long swords equivalent to the treasure of good products, a ruler, and sharp weapon fragments that were close to the power of high-grade spiritual weapons, paper umbrella spirit weapons, flying sword spirit weapons, and the real high-grade defensive spirit weapon Qingyuan Shield newly given by the Formation Foundation Dao people.
In addition, there are several powerful spirit runes given by the master, as well as a large number of ordinary spirit runes distributed by the high-level members of the sect.
The qi refining disciples of various sects enter the ruins to seize treasures, just because they want them to gain benefits for the sect, if they are given too many things of good value, then they will return in vain, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, what the various sects and sects distributed to everyone was nothing more than a large number of ordinary spirit runes with similar power to those distributed by the Yunyang Sect.
The spiritual weapons that these people themselves possess will not be very good, and their master is not like the Formation Foundation Dao people, who will give them the only high-grade spiritual weapons they have.
Therefore, Yan Yue should be one of the best among everyone in terms of magic weapons.
Thinking of this section, Yan Yue's confidence increased.
His magic weapon is stronger than others, and his cultivation and spells are not as good as others, these two items cannot be made up in a short period of time, except for drinking spiritual wine, and there are more than ten days left, the most important thing is to formulate corresponding countermeasures in advance for each opponent.
Combined with the secrets found on the interpocutors intercepted for more than a year, what Da Shang saw and heard, and the careful observation of everyone in the past few days, Yan Yue began to think about how to deal with everyone.
After a while, there are already all kinds of calculations in my heart about who can win over and which people can be separated if they are enemies.
A total of three people from the Yunyang Sect participated in this trip, and Tianmu, who was not far away, suddenly came to Yan Yue and Mu Feng, with a smile on his face, and hugged his fists to Mu Feng and said: "Brother Mu, although there are some misunderstandings between our two veins in the sect, but now that we are out of the house, we should work together." ”
Mu Feng clenched his fists and replied: "This is natural." ”
In the intercepted interrogation, Yan Yue discovered that Tianmu's true identity was actually an undercover agent planted by Jin Jiaomen in Yunyang Sect, and the transmission reminded Mu Feng of this.
When Mu Feng heard this, he was slightly startled and asked, "Really?"
After Yan Yue affirmed this, Mu Feng looked at Tianmu with a smile on his face, and sneered: "Your Excellency's good means can actually hide the cunning Cangyu old thief, who has been lurking in our sect for many years. ”
Tianmu was shocked when he heard this, "What does my brother mean by this?"
Mu Feng was almost deceived by him, closed his eyes, and ignored him anymore.
Tianmu was stunned for a while, and then walked to the side, as if he was communicating with the two people of the Golden Jiaomen.
When you enter the ruins, you don't have to be enemies of everyone, but you can also join forces with others and hug each other.
Before arriving at the destination, everyone looked for teammates in the crowd who they thought were reliable.
Among them, there are several people, all of whom are like Tianmu, with bad intentions, or pure temptation, and want to unite with Yan Yue and Mu Feng.
These people were all debunked by Yan Yue and rejected by Mu Feng.
Three more people walked towards them, and the middle-aged man led by him hugged his fists at Mu Feng and said, "Mu Daoyou, under Yan Rong, do you intend to form an alliance with us and the other three?"
Although he said it to Mu Feng, his eyes looked at Yan Yue intentionally or unintentionally, and the two people behind him also glanced at Yan Yue from time to time.
These three people are from the Guangming Yan family, and during the trip in the past few days, Yan Yue has noticed that the eyes of the three of them often look at him.
Their gazes were very strange, and Yan Yue read a lot of complex emotions from their gazes.
Yan Yue's eyes were like torches, and he could distinguish people that Mu Feng couldn't distinguish, and the three of them showed favor to them, and Mu Feng looked at Yan Yue.
Most of the messengers intercepted by Yan Yue were the communications of the Yunyang Sect, the Qinggu Han family, the Xuanyue faction and several other factions, and among these messengers, there were almost no bad things about the Guangming Yan family.
He also knew very little about these three people, and asked Mu Feng: "According to what Senior Brother has seen, what is the character of these three people?"
Mu Feng said: "The ten factions enter the ruins to seize the treasure, and there are often hurtful things behind the back of the allies, this Guangming Yan family, the reputation of the previous years is not bad, and the style is okay among the ten factions." ”
The ten factions planted spies with each other, and even those with higher cultivation were also sent undercover, partly because they were to surprise and plot against other factions during the trip to the ruins once every ten years, in order to win more treasures for their own sect.
After so many times of deception, everyone is not at ease with the people of the same door, and they may not be the first to form a group of people from the same door.
Yan Yue and Mu Feng met each other frankly and trusted each other, but they couldn't be enemies of everyone else, so they had to win over a few more teammates who could be trusted.
The people of the Guangming Yan family are not necessarily very good, at least not as cunning as the other factions, and it is a good choice to join them together.
The strength of the Guangming Yan family, among the ten factions, is also in the middle and upper, Yan Yue and Mu Feng discussed for a while, and they have already calculated and agreed to form an alliance with the three of them.
Mu Feng finally tried again: "Since the five of us have reached an alliance, then we should tell each other the truth, and we can cooperate with each other at that time." ”
Mu Feng's meaning is very clear, since we have already formed an alliance, then you should show your sincerity and show out the spiritual weapons and spells you each have.
The three of them glanced at each other, and Yan Rong, who was the leader, said: "What you say is reasonable, then let's come first, let's confess one person first, and then it will be your turn to confess to one person, and then we will go down." ”
Mu Feng didn't completely trust them, and the three of them didn't have any doubts about Mu Feng and Yan Yue, and if the two parties could be frank, the level of trust between them would increase by a few points.
Mu Feng knew that it was impossible for the other three of them to reveal all three of them first, and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed to Yan Rong's proposal.
Several people laid down soundproof spells, and first Yan Rong revealed to the other four the spells he was good at, as well as the reliance he held.
Between monks, usually close friends, they don't reveal their details to each other, and at this time, Yan Rong said that the other two people of the Yan family also had a great sense of re-examining Yan Rong.
"Yan Rong's strength, among these twenty-five people, can be ranked in the top ten. After listening to this, Mu Feng said to Yan Yue.
The Yan family of Guangming is a Xiuzhen family, and the members of the Xiuzhen family are divided into descendants and collaterals, and Yan Rong is a descendant of the Yan family.
After Yan Rong finished speaking, it was Mu Feng's turn.
Yan Rong told him about having a high-grade spiritual weapon, and after Mu Feng hesitated slightly, he also said frankly about his possession of a high-grade spiritual weapon, as well as his own way of fighting.
Everyone paid a lot of attention to some masters in the big competition, and finally after the twenty-five people were decided, the high-level leaders of their respective sects also had detailed information about the people of other factions.
Whether the details of what the two sides said are true or not, and whether they have concealed something, can be seen from the information under their control.
After Yan Rong and Mu Feng came one after another, the two sides already had a certain understanding of each other's sincerity.
Yan Rong said: "It's best that everyone can be honest with each other, and I hope we can all come out of the ruins alive." ”
Whether everyone can save their lives or not, the trust between them and their teammates has a lot to do with it, and after the two took the lead in announcing the details, the next person from the Yan family also truthfully told the four of them their details.
After he finished speaking, it was Yan Yue's turn, Yan Yue groaned for a while, and said: "I, like Senior Brother, also have a high-grade spiritual weapon given by my master, in terms of my magic weapon, it is better than ordinary people, and this spiritual weapon is a defensive spiritual weapon, so you don't have to take special care of me." In terms of cultivation, I can also improve in the near future, and I will not hold everyone back. ”
Yan Yue's several spiritual weapons that are comparable to the top grades, and the spiritual wine that is enough for him to improve a large part of his cultivation, are all related to the treasure gourd, and he only vaguely used "the magic weapon is better than ordinary people" and "the cultivation can be improved in the near future".
After hearing this, Yan Rong said: "I heard that your sect's hidden cultivation technique is a must, Yan Daoyou can defeat the best spiritual light talent with several high-grade spiritual weapons with one punch, and the cultivation is more than the sixth layer of qi refining, right?"
After he finished speaking, another member of the Yan family also asked tentatively, "Is Yan Daoyou's cultivation at the eighth level of qi refining?" After speaking, his eyes looked at Yan Yue eagerly.
These people looked at Yan Yue before, with this kind of eagerness, and there were many other complex emotions, these expressions didn't seem to have bad intentions, but this person directly asked whether Yan Yue's cultivation was the eighth layer of qi refining, which also made Yan Yue slightly surprised.
Looking at the strange gazes of these people, he thought of the Yan family's foundation building monk who was injured in the preliminary round of the big competition and stayed by his side for a while.
Doing it with people in the ruins, Yan Yue's true cultivation will be exposed sooner or later, at that time, his cultivation was not only the eighth layer of qi refining, since the other party now directly asked, Yan Yue no longer concealed it and admitted the matter.
After getting Yan Yue's admission, the three of them looked a little excited, and after glancing at each other, they asked again: "Yan Daoyou's divine sense has not been revealed to us yet, can you find out, let me wait for a while?" After speaking, looking at Yan Yue's eyes, the expression of eagerness was even more vigorous, and there seemed to be a trace of fear in his expression.
Hearing this, Yan Yue was slightly stunned and said, "My divine sense is very ordinary, if you want to see it, then let a few people take a look." As he spoke, he poked out his senses.
Several people were busy observing the strength of Yan Yue's divine sense, but they found that the strength of his divine consciousness was just an ordinary eight-layer strength of qi refining.
Cultivation can be hidden through various special methods, but the strength of the divine consciousness is more difficult to conceal, after everyone identified Yan Yue's divine consciousness strength, they seemed a little disappointed, and after exchanging ideas, they looked at Yan Yue again with some doubts.
Regarding Yan Yue's true cultivation is a matter of the eighth layer of qi refining, Mu Feng was slightly startled and didn't ask too much.
Everyone in the cultivators has their own secrets, and Mu Feng also has his secrets.
Yan Yue didn't know Mu Feng's thoughts, and after the last person finished speaking, he secretly observed Mu Feng's expression, and suddenly, he found that Mu Feng seemed to be communicating with someone, and following Mu Feng's gaze, it was the direction of several people from the Lingyue Sect.
Yan Yue immediately retracted his gaze, and secretly said in his heart, Xia Yi of the Lingyue Sect seems to be an undercover agent who he sent to the Lingyue Sect, but I don't know which faction he belongs to, could it be that he belongs to our Yunyang Sect?
Yan Yue once intercepted a summons sent by Xia Yi from north to south, and the receiver should be in Tiannan.
This messenger, the text is difficult to understand, the content is difficult to read, it should be a secret letter, he didn't know who sent this messenger at the time, until he sold Xia Yi's hat spirit weapon and found his divine sense on his spirit stone, he vaguely recalled that this divine consciousness had been seen on that messenger.
At this time, he swept his gaze towards Xia Yi without a trace, and found that he seemed to be communicating with others, and after quickly retracting his gaze, he thought slightly.
