Chapter 824 Unintentional Retreat
In the next half month, Liang Yan never showed up in the Galaxy Palace, and no one knew where he had gone. Only those closest to him knew that he had actually stayed in his room and never came out.
Late that night, most of the monks in the Galaxy Palace had already meditated in their caves, but Liang Yan was sitting alone at a wooden table in the room, seemingly in a daze.
He flipped through the ancient books on the table, with a complex look on his face.
In the past half month, he has read the exercises recorded in ancient books more than ten times.
It has to be said that although this magic skill has no name, its content is indeed profound and profound. Even Liang Yan has to repeatedly comprehend many parts, and he still has a partial understanding of it.
But one thing is certain, this method is definitely a rare magical skill. Meng Qibai and Tiemu Shan have only cultivated to the sixth level, and they already have such power.
If they are asked to practice this technique to the ninth level, then they may not be their opponents.
The most important thing is that this magic skill has also found a new way to create a new method of forming elixirs. The power of the demonic essence created from this is actually comparable to the Taoist six-turn golden elixir: the corpse-killing elixir!
It’s just that this method is also very vicious and requires refining a large amount of monks’ blood essence. Moreover, the higher the monk’s cultivation level, the stronger the demonic element created from it.
According to records in ancient books, in order to achieve the power of the corpse-killing golden elixir, the blood essence and blood of at least three hundred Juyuan realm monks are needed.
"From this point of view, Meng Qibai and Tiemushan should not have used this method to forge the demonic element."
The reason why Liang Yan speculated like this is also very simple. If they really have The demonic element is comparable to the corpse-killing golden elixir, and he is definitely no match for it.
In fact, you can understand it if you think about it carefully. Before Meng Qibai achieved the golden elixir, he had not yet become the leader of the Flying Star Alliance. With his magical powers and status at that time, it was impossible for him to secretly kill so many Juyuan realm monks for him to form elixirs.
So he chose to do the next best thing and decided to form a pill first, and then implement his vicious plan after becoming the leader of the alliance.
The reason why Meng Qibai was able to do this was because there was a secret method recorded at the end of this ancient book.
That is: Rebuilding the Broken Pill!
I have to say that the person who created this magic skill is really crazy. How can an ordinary monk destroy the golden elixir so easily if it is only 10%? Because when the pill breaks, it is very likely that the person will die!
And even if you are lucky enough to escape with your life, it is very likely that your own foundation will be destroyed, causing all your cultivation to be exhausted, and you will return to the stage of Qi refining.
All in all, the risk of this move is too great. Any monk, as long as he is not a lunatic, will generally not do it.
However, this magic skill contains a detailed record of a secret method that can help monks greatly reduce the risk of elixir destruction and death, and the level will not fall too much, just from the golden elixir realm to the Juyuan realm. As for the specific realm of Juyuan Realm, it depends on the cultivator's own destiny.
According to Liang Yan's guess, the demonic element created by Meng Qibai should be similar to the power of the Taoist three-turn Wusu Golden Pill.
This person was unwilling to give up and wanted to rebuild his magic essence by breaking the pill and forcibly raising his demonic energy to the sixth rank level. This is why he secretly hunted down the monks and practiced blood sacrifice.
After speculating on the whole incident, Liang Yan quietly looked at the ancient books on the table, with a trace of hesitation and struggle flashing in his eyes.
The golden elixir has nine turns, and the power of each turn is incomparable.
Although he now has hope of forging the Xuantian Five Qi Golden Pill, if he can go one step further and make the pill reach the sixth level, that would naturally be a great thing.
But if he practiced according to the magic skills in ancient books, he would have to secretly massacre the monks of the Flying Star Alliance just like Meng Qibai and the others.
Although Liang Yan is not a saint and does not have the heart of a Bodhisattva, it is difficult for him to kill all sentient beings for his own selfish desires.
After thinking for a long time, Liang Yan sighed softly and raised his hand to close the book.
“Forget it, since I am cultivating the authentic Xuanmen sect, I should stick to the Xuantian Five Qi Golden Pill of Jie Dao Sect.”
After making this decision, Liang Yan suddenly felt relieved and a smile inadvertently appeared on his lips. He threw the ancient books on the table into his storage bag, turned around and walked out of his room.
This was the first time he stepped out of his room in half a month. He stood in the empty courtyard and thought for a while. Liang Yan subconsciously took up the escape light and flew towards the place where Wu Xin was.
Since he took over the Xinghe Palace, Wu Xin has been helping him with the affairs of the Flying Star Alliance. At this time, he should still be reviewing files in the Star Reaching Tower.
Liang Yan drove a ray of light through the air and finally stopped outside the top window of the Star-Zhaing Building. Now, he is probably the only one in the entire Galaxy Palace who dares to do this.
He pushed the wooden window gently and jumped in.
As expected, Wuxin was here. She was dressed in purple, leaning on the wicker chair next to the table. When she saw Liang Yan climbing through the window, she just yawned lazily.
"We are rare visitors. Leader Liang is here. Do you want me to go out to greet you?" Wu Xin said with a half-smile.
Liang Yan knew that she was angry, so he could only touch his nose and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"Haha, it's hard for you to still remember me, so old A mess was thrown at me, and I thought you were going to disappear again!" Wu Xin said with some embarrassment.
After hearing this, Liang Yan just smiled and did not answer the question.
Wuxin rolled his eyes at him and said: "I have handled all the matters in Xinghe Palace these days, and now the situation is basically stable. As for the envoys in the alliance, I also gave instructions one by one on the day of the banquet, asking them not to Leak the news about the change of ownership of Xinghe Palace."
Liang Yan nodded, of course he understood what Wu Xin meant.
The Galaxy Palace has changed owners, and the one who has ascended to the position of alliance leader is only a monk from the Juyuan Realm. This will inevitably attract the prying eyes of the other three alliances.
Although it is said that Liang Yan's strength is no longer afraid of ordinary early-stage golden elixir monks, others may not think so. If a war among the four alliances is triggered, it will be detrimental to the Flying Star Alliance.
That's why Wu Xin suppressed the news for the time being, waiting for her to refine the demon element and recover her cultivation level, or for Liang Yan to break through the golden elixir, before announcing it to the world.
It had to be said that Liang Yan was very relieved that Wu Xin was in charge of the Xinghe Palace.
Although she sometimes acts crazy and unpredictable, she handles things with a delicate mind, and most of the time she coincides with herself.
That’s right when you think about it, after all, she is a member of the Demon Clan and has been hiding in the human realm for so long. She walks on thin ice on weekdays and has naturally developed a character that is as meticulous as hair.
For some reason, Liang Yan suddenly felt a little sad. However, before he could speak, Wu Xin smiled again and said:
"In the past half month, I have counted the flying The Star Alliance's Immortal Stone Treasury is more than enough to refine a complete Xuantian Wood Qi, and there are still a lot of Immortal Stones left, so there is no need to worry about anyone dying."
After hearing this, Liang Yan felt happy and nodded: "Now that we are in charge of an alliance, if you need anything, just take it from here." "You don't need anything special. The secret method of refining Xuantian's energy is I learned it from a human cultivator back then. Give me a month and I can extract a piece of Xuan Tian Mu Qi for you."
Wuxin said this, thought for a while and said: "By the way, extract Xuan Tian Mu Qi. After Tianmu Qi, I will start to retreat to refine the demonic essence. I can’t say no at this time. Accurate, it could be as short as three or five years or as long as more than ten years."
"Such a long time." Liang Yan felt slightly disappointed in his heart, but he still nodded and said: "This paragraph Time has indeed been hard on you. Not only did you take over the affairs of the Flying Star Alliance, but you also To extract Xuantian Qi for me, it is also time to go into seclusion to restore my cultivation."
Hearing this, Wu Xin suddenly smiled slyly and said: "My good brother, my sister has helped you so much, right? Should I give my sister a reward?”
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "What do you want?"
"Cultivation together?" Wu Xin blurted out.
"What?"
Liang Yan didn't react yet, but Wu Xin himself, who said this, brushed his face and turned red.
"What are you thinking about? I just want you to practice with me!" Wu Xin glared at him and added.
"But I didn't say anything." Liang Yan scratched his head and said somewhat innocently.
Wuxin's face turned even redder. She originally wanted to tease Liang Yan, but she didn't expect that when she spoke, she ended up teasing herself.
Liang Yan also didn’t expect that this witch who practiced the magic of demons would actually have a shy side. He stared blankly at the woman in front of him, feeling that she was smiling like a flower, and the blush on her face made her even more charming.
The two were silent for a while, Wu Xin seemed to have come back to his senses, secretly feeling funny about his behavior.
"Wu Xin, Wu Xin, you have practiced Tianmo Mei Gong in vain! Why do you lose everything every time you meet him?"
Thinking of this, Wu Xin suddenly snorted and laughed out loud:
"Good brother, sister is going to retreat, do you want to come with us?"
"Forget it, I still have to look for the rest. The two Xuantian Qi strive to break through the Jindan realm as soon as possible." Liang Yan shook his head and refused.
“Humph, I knew that was your answer!”
Wu Xin was not surprised at all. She pushed back a strand of hair from her forehead, and the playful look on her face suddenly disappeared. He stood up and said seriously: "Each of Xuantian's five qi is very precious. In the fifteen years since you disappeared, I have actually collected information secretly. According to the information I collected, it seems that there is one in the Blood Moon Alliance. The land of Xuantian.”
"Is this true?" Liang Yan had a hint of excitement on his face.
"I pieced together this conclusion from the clues I collected. I'm not entirely sure, but I'm 50 to 60 percent sure." Wu Xin said thoughtfully.
"Fifty to sixty percent certainty is enough for me to give it a try. Where is the specific location of Xuantian's soil?" Liang Yan asked.
“It’s in Blood Moon Mountain, but Blood Moon Mountain is surrounded by a circle of poisonous Yin Qi. Even if you have the golden elixir cultivation level, you can’t fly through it. The only way to enter Blood Moon Mountain is A teleportation array, and the only ones who can use this array are the monks from Blood Moon Mountain. "If that's the case, doesn't it mean I have no hope?" Liang Yan said with a frown.
"That's not necessarily the case!" Wu Xin said with a slight smile: "The Blood Moon Alliance holds a 'Blood Moon Festival' every twenty years, similar to our Hundred Alliance Conference. At that time, there were many monks pouring into Blood Moon Mountain. With your There must be a chance to sneak in with magical powers, right?"
"When was the last 'Blood Moon Festival' held?"
"It should have been five years ago? Before." Wu Xin thought for a while.
"That is to say, there are still fifteen years left?" Liang Yan pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Having such a direction is better than finding a needle in a haystack. I will do this Blood Moon Alliance no matter what. I’m going to pay a visit.”
“Be careful in everything.”
Wuxin looked at him, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and handed it to Liang Yan.
“After I retreat, I won’t be able to help you. What is recorded here are the materials and elixirs that can play a supporting role when forming elixirs. As for the latter part, they are the materials and elixirs that I used to form elixirs. All my thoughts and feelings at that time."
Liang Yan silently reached out and took the scroll. He didn't say anything more, but nodded slightly.
The two of them seem to have relied on each other from the moment they fell into Hell. At least in this unknown field, neither one will give up on the other.
The next morning, Wuxin left the palace early, went to the treasury of Xinghe Palace to take out a large number of fairy stones, and began to refine Xuantian Wood Qi for Liang Yan.
The result did not disappoint. A month later, Wu Xin handed a jade box containing Xuantian Mu Qi into his hands.
From this day on, Wu Xin began her retreat. According to her, Liang Yan would not be able to see this witch for as long as three or five years, or as long as more than ten years.
After Wu Xin retreated, all matters in the Xinghe Palace were handed over to Liang Yan.
In fact, he is not very interested in managing a force. The reason why he takes charge of the Galaxy Palace is just to obtain more immortal stones so that he can refine the Xuantian Wood Qi for himself.
Nowadays, Liang Yan is quite overwhelmed when faced with these trivial matters in the alliance, but fortunately, Leia is there to help.
Although this woman's cultivation level is not high, she is the registered disciple of her uncle Gu Zhiyu. She is also a member of the Yungang Sect, and she still calls herself senior brother.
So after Wu Xin retreated, the person Liang Yan trusted the most was Leiya.
He delegated most of the power to his junior sister, letting her hold the alliance's main seal. Although the others were slightly dissatisfied with this foundation-building palm seal user, they did it for Liang Yan's sake. , and they all acquiesced.
As for Liang Yan himself, he began to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Xuantian's energy.
He now has three of the five Xuantian Qi, and the remaining Xuantian soil also has a direction, but there is no news about the Xuantian fire.
In order to find the last trace of Xuantian Qi, Liang Yan secretly mobilized some of his confidants to form a search team of hundreds of people, and began to investigate the fire-attributed areas in Hell.
As long as there is a trace of strange situation, these people will report to him immediately.
