Chapter 2185 Information
After hearing this, Shen Biyou showed a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Fellow Daoist Liu, you came to participate in the Pindan Conference, but you don't know the content of the conference?"
Liang Yan beat him He laughed and said: "I feel ashamed to say that Liu accidentally learned about the existence of the Qianlong List and the Pindan Conference, and knew nothing about Xuanji Island..."
"That's it."
Shen Biyou nodded: "Actually, this is not a secret... There is a magical lake on Xuanji Island called 'Jiuyuan Lake', which is said to have been left by the first island owner, Old Man Xuanji. . This lake can comprehensively evaluate a person's strength, talent, qualifications and luck, and thereby calculate the probability of becoming a saint. This is where the ranking on the Qianlong List comes from."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes showed surprise: "There is such a magical thing?"
He thought that the Pindan Conference would determine the ranking through some kind of competition, but he didn't expect that it would be based on a The magical lake, this was beyond his expectation...
Shen Biyou smiled slightly: "The Holy Path is illusory. Throughout the ages, how many heroes have fallen at the last step! Think of those famous people back then. Shocked for a while, the most magnificent figures will not return to dust in the end and become the dust of history..."
"The so-called 'Hidden Dragon List' is actually just the prediction of Xuanji Island. The people on the list There are too many, but there are not many who can really become saints. The Taoist friends who are ranked on the list should just take it as a pleasure and don’t take it too seriously.”
After hearing what Shen Biyou said, Liang Yan smiled, with a noncommittal expression. .
"It's true that the Holy Path is illusory, but since Xuanji Island dares to make such a ranking, it must have its own uniqueness. Hasn't this Hidden Dragon List been fulfilled?"
"That has been fulfilled. Several times...the last time was eight thousand years ago, when a Confucian League A senior achieved the status of saint, and he was ranked first on the Qianlong Ranking."
After hearing this, Liang Yan immediately smiled and said: "It seems that this 'Qianlong Ranking' still has some value... But I am still very curious. Have you ever seen Jiuyuan Lake with your own eyes? What is it? "What does it look like?"
Shen Biyou recalled: "This lake is hidden in a bottomless abyss. It must be opened by the island owner of Xuanji Island through a secret method. The tester stands above the lake, and there will be a lake. Produce reflections of different colors, from low to high, gray , green, purple, red, and gold."
After saying this, he paused and continued: "If you want to be on the Qianlong List, you must at least be purple... If it is cyan, you will basically become a saint. Hopeless; if it is gray, it is considered unpopular. ”
"What about gold?" Liang Yan asked.
“If gold is reflected, it will usually be in the top thirty. As for the top twenty, two colors need to be reflected.”
“There are two other colors. Color?" Liang Yan said in surprise.
"Of course, Shen is not talented. He came to the Pindan Conference a hundred years ago to wear purple and green, and ranked fifteenth on the Qianlong List."
"Fifteenth Famous! It seems that my fellow Taoist is a genius, and he might be able to achieve the holy path and enjoy infinite life."
"Brother Liu, you are joking."
Shen Biyou said with emotion: "Where can I find the holy way? In the entire Dongyun Lingzhou, it is difficult to find a saint in ten thousand years! If one of us in this group can become a saint, That's all a lucky coincidence! Shen ranked fifteenth, which is not enough."
After hearing this, Liang Yan immediately laughed and said: "Brother Shen should not belittle oneself. On the path of cultivation, you don't know the result until the end."
After finishing speaking, he thought about it and asked again: "Since Brother Shen already participated in the Pindan Conference a hundred years ago Why are you here again this year? Do you want to challenge for a higher ranking?”
“No.”
Shen Biyou shook his head and said with a smile: "Every time the Pindan Conference is held, the owner of Xuanji Island will invite a sub-sage from the Taoist and Confucian sects to participate. In return, he will receive a Heaven-Building Pill presented by him."
“Building Heaven Pill?” Liang Yan’s heart moved.
This was not the first time he heard it. Yuan Taiweng also mentioned it at the exchange meeting.
"What kind of elixir is this?" Liang Yan asked immediately.
“Butian Dan, it is said to be a pill developed by Old Man Xuanji. After taking it, you can increase the power of your major law by 10%!”
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Isn't this impossible? The power of the laws of cultivation is different for everyone. How can this Heaven-Building Pill be applicable to all?"
"It is indeed possible. I have tried it."
Shen Biyou smiled and said: "This is the secret recipe left by the old man Xuanji, which has never been passed on to others. The Tianbu Dan is also known as the 'Little Dao Fruit'. Although the Innate Dao Fruit can greatly enhance the power of the laws you major in, but Must be symptomatic In contrast, although the Heaven-Building Pill does not increase the power of the law much, it is better than everyone can take it. No matter what path you practice, it can increase your understanding and increase the power of the law by 10%. "
After that, he added: "Of course, pills are poisonous, and one person can only take three pills at most, otherwise he will suffer backlash and the gain will not be worth the loss."< br>
After hearing this, Liang Yan showed a look of astonishment: "No wonder so many people came to attend the Pindan Conference. It's probably all about the 'Tian-Mending Pill', right?"
"Not really..."
Shen Biyou shook his head and said: "The Heaven-Building Pill is very precious and can only be obtained by the top twenty monks on the Hidden Dragon List. As for the monks ranked outside the top twenty, Xuanji Island will give you various gifts based on your ranking. Although elixirs of the same quality are also precious, they are far inferior to the 'Tian-Building Pill'."
At this point, he paused for a moment and added: "The Tian-Building Pill is not only precious, but also valuable. There is a characteristic, that is, it must be taken within two hours after it is released."
Liang Yan was surprised: "How could this happen? Does it become invalid after two hours?"
"Brother Liu doesn't know that this 'Heaven-Building Pill' is extremely effective. It will automatically turn into fly ash more than two hours after it is released. Therefore, it must be refined in the shortest possible time, otherwise it will be wasted." "
After hearing this, Liang Yan looked thoughtful: "In other words... until the Pindan Conference was held, this 'Building Heaven Pill' had not actually been refined yet?"
“That’s right.”
Shen Biyou nodded, and then said: "But Xuanji Island is good at refining alchemy. All the processes for this 'Mending Sky Pill' have been completed, and now there is only the last step. When the ranking is decided at the Pindan Conference, that day In the evening, the two island owners will enter the elixir room, complete the elixir in the shortest possible time, and then give the elixir to the top twenty monks on the Qianlong List."
"So that's it..."
After hearing this, Liang Yan finally had a preliminary understanding of the Pindan Conference.
No wonder a Yasheng like Hu Quandou would come here. It seems that he wants to hit the top twenty and get the Sky-Building Pill.
As for Shen Biyou and Empress Yuhua, these two people were sent by the Dao League and the Confucian League to support them. They were also an opportunity for Xuanji Island to curry favor with the two factions.
"Brother Shen, I have always had a doubt, who is that 'Hu Quan Dou' who actually dares to challenge the Taoist Alliance in public?" Liang Yan couldn't help but ask.
After hearing this, Shen Biyou looked thoughtful and said slowly: "I don't know much about this person... The only thing that is certain is that he is not a local monk in Dongyun Lingzhou, about He came here more than a hundred years ago, and later defeated the Yasheng master of the Confucian League in a secret realm, and became famous ever since.”
"Oh? Even the Yasheng masters of the Confucian League can't defeat him?" Liang Yan said in surprise.
"Well...it's a pity that the specific details of that battle were not made public, and the Confucian League did not say anything afterwards. The two sides seemed to have reached some kind of agreement and did not become enemies because of it."
After hearing this, Liang Yan became even more curious about Hu Quandou's identity.
You must know that the Confucian League is a huge force, with more than one saint sitting in charge. If you want to take revenge, you will definitely not be able to withstand it with the strength of Hu Quan Dou.
But the Ru Meng did not choose to retaliate. Does this mean that there is a master behind Hu Quandou?
While he was thinking about it, Shen Biyou seemed to see what he was thinking, and asked with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, are you afraid of Hu Quandou's revenge?"
Liang Yan was noncommittal and did not answer.
Shen Biyou said again: "Pindao has a suggestion, I wonder if my friend is willing to listen to it?"
Liang Yan glanced at him and said with a smile: "What suggestion do you want to hear? "
"Brother Liu, why don't you join our Taoist Alliance?" Shen Biyou said in surprise, He said sternly: "Brother Liu uses Taoism skills as the basic method, and he is obviously destined to be with our Taoist alliance. Shen and you hit it off, and he is willing to be Brother Liu's guide. As long as Brother Liu nods, no matter what force is behind Hu Quan Dou , and it is impossible to act wild in front of our Taoist alliance.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan was slightly surprised.
I didn’t expect that Shen Biyou would actually invite me to join the Taoist League...
The reason why he established his power in Yunmeng Mountain was that he didn’t want to get involved in the Taoist-Confucian dispute so quickly, let alone the Seventh Difficulty has arrived, and he has not yet understood his catastrophe, so of course he will not agree easily.
After only thinking for a moment, Liang Yan smiled and said: "Xianyun Yehe is used to it and cannot stand the constraints of the sect. Moreover, I still have many things to deal with urgently. I am afraid that I will let down the good intentions of my fellow Taoists."< br>
After hearing this, Shen Biyou showed a trace of regret in his eyes.
"It's a pity, fellow Taoist is a talented person... But everyone has his own ambitions. Even if you don't join the Taoist League, you are still Shen's good friend!"
Although he admires Liang Yan, but He also has his own arrogance.
It is impossible for a dignified Taoist to beg others to join the Taoist Alliance. This is the only chance.
Next, the two avoided the topic and continued drinking and chatting. Shen Biyou remained enthusiastic and answered almost every question Liang Yan had.
In the blink of an eye, the sun sets.
At a cocktail party, Liang Yan found out everything that needed to be asked.
"...Thank you fellow Taoist for clearing up my doubts. I had a great time drinking with you today!" Liang Yan raised his glass with a smile.
Shen Biyou also raised his glass, and the two drank together at dusk.
"Biluo Ningxiang is really a fine wine! But Liu also has some fine wines in his collection, and I would like to invite Brother Dao to taste them."
Liang Yan said, taking out a jar of fine wine from the storage ring and placing it on the table.
This was a gift from Ning Bugui before he left the Antarctic continent. There are ten altars in total.
"The name of this wine is: 'Drunk No Return'. Although it is not as good as Taoist friend's 'Biluo Ningxiang', it still has a different flavor. And I can guarantee that it is definitely a type that Brother Shen has never drunk before. .”
Shen After hearing this, Biyou's eyes lit up and he laughed and said: "It is disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. In this case, the remaining half of the jar of 'Biluo Ningxiang' will be given to fellow Taoist."
"Then I am disrespectful.”
"Haha!"
The two smiled at each other and exchanged wine in the pavilion.
"It's getting late, let's talk about it another day." Liang Yan stood up and said goodbye to the other party.
Shen Biyou smiled and nodded, and personally sent him out of the door.
“The Pindan Conference is coming soon, I hope to witness Brother Liu’s style by then.”
"Haha, just let it happen."
Liang Yan smiled slightly, said no more, raised the light, and quickly disappeared at the end of the horizon...
...
That night, the moon and stars were sparse, and the valley was quiet.
Liang Yan sat in his cave, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking thoughtful.
During this trip, I got a lot of information from Shen Biyou.
First of all, the owner of the Mysterious Island is actually proficient in the power of two laws, and his strength is unfathomable. There is likely to be support from a big force behind him.
The second is Jiuyuan Lake and Butian Dan.
I didn’t expect that Xuanji Island really has a magic method to measure the probability of a monk becoming a saint. Although I don’t know what the principle of Jiuyuan Lake is, I can still see the background of Xuanji Island.
As for the Heaven-Building Pill... it is indeed a big opportunity!
"I cultivate the power of five laws at the same time, regardless of priority. If I take the Heaven-Building Pill, I wonder which power of law I will supplement?" Liang Yan murmured to himself, looking interested in the pill. Very interested in medicine.
However, these thoughts were fleeting in my mind, and I quickly returned to the topic.
The main purpose of his trip was to figure out his seventh difficulty.
So, when he discovered that Xuanji Island was unfathomable and far beyond his previous imagination, instead of feeling troubled, he felt a little excited.
“The more extraordinary the Mysterious Island is, the greater the probability that I will find the answer!”
"However, before you find out the details of layman Baixiao, it's better not to completely break up with him..."
Liang Yan pondered for a moment on the couch and said to himself: "According to Shen Biyou According to the information provided, the best time to take action should be the night of the Pindan Conference!”
Because on this night, Master Baixiao and the deputy island master will enter the alchemy room to make final preparations for the release of the Tian Mending Pill! preparation.
When the time comes, even if there is some movement, these two people may not notice it.
"What do you think?" Liang Yan told Ni Jiayue his plan.
"Yes! This is the best time to take action, otherwise Master Baixiao will definitely discover it!" Ni Jiayue replied with certainty.
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded slightly.
He has made a decision, and all that is left is to wait... wait until the Pindan Conference is held to see how powerful this Baixiao layman is.
......
For more than ten days after that, Liang Yan spent most of his time meditating in his cave, occasionally drinking and talking with Shen Biyou to kill time.
In the blink of an eye, the day came for the Pindan Conference.
In the early morning of that day, Liang Yan walked out of the cave, made a magic spell, and turned into an escaping light and flew through the air.
A quarter of an hour later, he came to the top of a mountain.
Looking forward from here, you can see the sea of clouds rolling, the clouds flowing, and various pavilions and pavilions looming in the clouds and mist. They are so gorgeous and beautiful!
“Fellow Daoist Liu, we meet again!”
Hearty laughter came from the clouds and mist.
Liang Yan turned around and saw that the person coming was red robe and big sleeves, it was Xuanji Island Zhou Chuan!
