Chapter 116 115. Taoist Companion (4.7K words - please subscribe)
In the early morning, although the howling wolves and laughing foxes outside had stopped, Song Yan was still thinking.
He had a lot to think about. On a chessboard intertwined with all kinds of unknowns and deceit, if he picked up a chess piece and rushed forward shouting "kill, kill, kill", there was no doubt that he was a child who had never even entered the door.
Ants have always thought that if there were beings who could easily pick up the small mountain of food, then they would not need to work hard or use their brains to think about how to cooperate in moving the food. But the fact is exactly the opposite. Humans can easily pick up food that ants cannot move, but human minds are countless times more complicated than ants.
But what about people themselves?
Some people always think that powerful beings can just throw away their brains. After all, they can "easily pick up a mountain of food." If they still need brains, they can just use strength.
However, they may overlook one thing, that is, there is no fool among strong people.
Song Yan can guarantee that if he dares to take the risk to kill a corpse wolf or a multi-tailed fox, then all the remaining monsters will stick together or even hide, and then the purple mansion realm monsters will arrive early.
Monsters line up waiting for you to kill them to help you level up. When you level up, there will happen to be monsters of a higher level to continue killing you. That is something that only happens in fairy tales.
The moment he asked for directions and revealed that he had successfully digested the blood of the King and the Tiger, although he got a turn for the better, he also exposed his trump card.
No one knows what the "King Tiger" is better than the two fox and wolf clans who were once under the rule of the King.
That means, the overlord of the soul world.
Once killed, he will be immediately detained and turned into a ghost, working as an aide for the tiger.
This is a whole level more terrifying power than Soul Searching.
Since Gu Huangzi was killed by him head on.
It is a reasonable inference that Grandma Fox has also been killed by him and turned into a ghost.
In this way, he also has some understanding of the two fox and wolf clans.
And the two fox and wolf clans will obviously know this.
So.
Song Yan narrowed his eyes.
Perhaps he would never see a single lone multi-tailed fox or man-eating wolf.
If they want to meet, at least they are a pair, or even more.
There are at least four foxes and wolves from the two tribes who came here. These four should also be analyzing his situation, and then starting to lay various traps.
He closed his eyes, rubbed his brows in distress, and deduced various possibilities.
Then he couldn't help but sigh.
Otherwise, why would he like a girl like Junior Sister Xiaojiu who has no scheming intentions?
It would be great if everyone in the world were like Junior Sister Xiaojiu.
He sincerely hopes that the world is filled with good people.
There is no way he would cast a snare or anything like that.
He is a talented person, a person who can quickly become stronger with resources.
In this case, it is better to treat the fox and wolf clan as the last meal.
Before that, he would hide himself deeply. No matter how the fox and wolf clan toss them, he, Song Yan, will never take the lead, let alone say "if you do something, I must respond" or something like that.
He wants to collect other blood essence and blood as "side dishes" first.
Once the side dishes are ready, go see if you can have a chance to enjoy a feast.
If you can break through to the Purple Mansion Realm in one fell swoop, you won't have to worry about anything.
As for how to break through the Purple Mansion Realm, he believed that a sect with a rich foundation like Nanwu Jianmen would definitely have the notes of its predecessors.
At that time, if the situation is really wrong, he will run.
Isn't there an ancient teleportation array?
‘Wait, ancient teleportation array’
Song Yan suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The ancient teleportation array, as well as the Sword Sect leader's lineage's research on repairing it, may be relatively secretive, but they can still be detected with the abilities of the Fox and Wolf clan.
Yes, he found his flaw.
I just don’t know how the two fox and wolf clans will take advantage of this flaw.
During the day, as soon as the genius came to light, the top management of Jianmen held another "meeting" regarding the statement made by the Fox and Wolf clan last night.
Song Yan didn't know what to do. He was just busy between Zhushe and Xuantian.
At noon, after taking a short break, he took out the "Jiang Gong Dan Research Notes" he got from the Kuye Sword Master and began to read it carefully.
It's spring, the Misty Sea is where the Mysterious Vein is, the air is fresh, and the birds on the branches are chirping happily.
Song Yan was holding his notes and lying leisurely on the old bamboo and rattan chair.
The wicker chair creaked and swayed, combined with the sound of wind through the forest and the water vapor on the lake, it was very comfortable.
"Hey, Xiuhu is quite leisurely."
Grandma Meng's voice came from far away, with a rare hint of smile.
Song Yan hurriedly put down the book, stood up, looked at a pair of old people walking not far away, and said with a smile: "Teacher Kuye, Teacher Meng."
Perhaps because he reunited with his lover and experienced the war together, his temperament had changed a bit. At this time, he also greeted with a smile: "Xiuhu, come on, come on."
< br>
Song Yan walked over and said with a smile: "Teacher, what good thing makes you two so happy?"
Sword Master Kuye and Granny Meng looked at each other, and then Granny Meng stepped forward and said softly: "In order to unite, our Sword Sect wants to integrate the Sun and Su families. The elite disciples of the Sun family need to be with the elite disciples of the Su family. Once you become a Taoist couple, you will become a family, regardless of each other.”
Song Yan was stunned for a moment.
The dead leaf swordsman said angrily: "Are you still thinking about Xuan Wei?"
Song Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can I dare to think about this?"
Granny Meng gave Master Ku Ye a hard look, and then said kindly: "Xiu Hu, Xuan Wei may not be suitable for you.
Well, this time the elite disciples of the younger generation of Jianmen will have a small sword discussion meeting, and it will be held on Tingyu Island behind Guanwu Island. If it is suitable, you can go and have a look. ”
Song Yan fell silent.
If it had been before, he would have refused directly because "the Taoist companions were too cumbersome and would be a stumbling block to his escape, and they were not needed at all."
But now the situation has changed. He inherited Gu Huangzi's legacy and broke through to the middle stage of Jianggong. However, the ancient teleportation array has become confusing. Neither the repair project nor the other side of the teleportation array is so stable and reliable.
The top priority now is to hide him better.
Seeing that he was still silent, Master Ku Ye said angrily: "Let's go, let's take you to see Xuan Wei, and let Xiu Hu have a good time with her."
Song Yan was speechless and said: "Teacher, stop talking. Why don't I agree?"
The Dead Leaf Swordsman snorted and said, "It would be enough if I agreed earlier."
Then he patted him on the shoulder and said: "You kid, now that you have an epiphany, don't waste your good talent!"
A few days later.
Tingyu Island.
Sword rainbows flew down the island one after another.
The visitors are all young monks, both male and female, who have not yet arrived at Jiang Palace, but whose realm is above the sixth level of Lianxuan.
Song Yan's realm was actually at the bottom, and he came here early in the morning, lurking aside secretly, and then observed the female cultivator falling from the sky.
He was very clear about his future plans.
These plans were projected onto the Taoist couple, which also gave him clear requirements for choosing a partner.
First, this woman can give him maximum exposure to the blood of monsters and beasts, so that he can "select a general from among the dwarfs" and choose blood to fill his left and right palaces.
He felt that he might not be so lucky and would always be able to find monster blood that was absolutely suitable for him.
The Three Kingdoms are so big, "King Tiger Blood", "Nightmare Beast Blood" and even "Ye Candle Soul Insect Blood" are all unique. He was able to get it only because of luck.
If he really wants to wait and refuse to improve for the sake of stronger monster blood, then he is kidding with his own life.
Second, this girl will not cause trouble. She will look for trouble and cause a lot of trouble, so her personality cannot be too public.
Third, this girl should be similar to Junior Sister Qi Yao and Junior Sister Xiao Jiu who were on Nanzhu Peak in the early years. She is a good person without any scheming. He naturally has a good impression of women like that. But he has no feelings for the grown-up Miss Su Qi.
Of course, if there was no such chance, then he would choose a female cultivator who is good at "machine casting". Because his storage space also contains the broken sword of the Selfless Sword left by the first headmaster of Jianmen in the ancient teleportation array, the gold-tipped dagger left by Gu Huangzi, and a pile of unknown light gold metals. If there is a female cultivator who is good at "machine casting" by his side, then he can easily gain access to relevant knowledge. If there is no female cultivator who is good at "organ casting", then he will choose a female cultivator who is good at "talisman". The multi-tailed fox and the corpse wolf like to use "fear" to make a fuss. If he has a Taoist companion who is proficient in talismans, he doesn't have to worry about "murderous talismans" or even higher-level talismans. He can prepare a lot of talismans for the possible war in the future.
While Song Yan was thinking about it, many monks had already fallen from the sky.
Everyone knew what they were here for today, but unlike the demon cultivators, the sword cultivators were a bit strangely "shy" after landing, and no one took the initiative to say hello.
However, after all, everyone is from the same sect, and many of them have fought side by side here, so several female cultivators and male cultivators slowly got together and began to laugh and discuss some daily things, and then slowly moved towards "the right side". "Understanding of Kendo" goes up and turns.
But the way of swordsmanship is understood, saying a hundred words is not as good as trying to wield a sword.
So soon, a rainbow light appeared on Tingyu Island.
Song Yan no longer hid, walked out from behind the forest, looked left and right, and suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing not far away.
It's Su Yao.
He hesitated and did not walk over.
Su Yao is a pure swordsman. Although there have been some changes now and she seems to be more family-oriented, she does not meet any of his requirements for choosing a partner.
Many years ago, he thought Su Yao was a troublesome woman. Now, not only has his idea not changed, it has even become stronger.
If he really chooses Su Yao, it is impossible to ignore the Su family. Then he will strive to become the "ancestor of the Su family".
How is that possible?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a fragrant wind coming from far away, and a sword rainbow falling beside him, and he saw that it was a beautiful female cultivator.
The female cultivator said politely: "Junior Brother Xiuhu, you are well."
Song Yan remembered this female cultivator. She was a famous genius of the Jianmen Sect and a branch of the Su family. Her surname was Su and her given name was Yanqing. She was a cultivator that Bai Xiuhu had known before, but he and the female cultivator were far apart at that time. Far.
He belongs to the type where he fawns over others but they look down on him.
However, this female cultivator is also a pure sword cultivator, and she has a lot of friends and a lot of nonsense, which is not interesting.
So, Song Yan also bowed slightly and returned the courtesy: "Sister Yanqing, long time no see."
The two chatted for a while and then separated.
Song Yan had no intention.
Su Yanqing thought of "shopping around" and went to a male cultivator who was alone elsewhere. After a while, she had a lively chat with a male cultivator. Obviously, in her opinion, the male cultivator was better than Song Yan. .
Song Yan looked left and right. After a while, there were a pair of sword rainbows flying side by side in the sky. It was obvious that they had initially succeeded.
As time goes by, more and more people leave.
Song Yan suddenly felt something, turned his head slightly, and saw a separate sword rainbow flying away, but it was Su Yao.
Obviously, Su Yao was tired of this kind of occasion, so she left directly.
Song Yan continued to wait.
During this period, he had taken a fancy to a female cultivator who was good at talismans, but before he could make a move, he was surrounded by a group of male cultivators. The female cultivator chose a high-level genius and left.
After a while, another rainbow light flew crookedly from the distance, and after landing, it looked like a petite nun.
The female cultivator's whole body still smelled of burning, her cheeks were gray, and her hair had been permed into natural curls due to the high temperature. Song Yan could smell the smell of firewood under the medicine cauldron.
It is said to be an ordinary fire, but it also requires firewood to be burned.
Only this kind of fire can have enough temperature to refine the elixir in the furnace.
Obviously, this is a peer.
"Brothers, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I. I'm Enri from Wenshui Island, I'm late, I'm sorry!"
After saying that, the little nun sneezed and sniffed. Although she was over twenty, she still looked like a childish little girl.
The male cultivators glanced at each other and averted their eyes, but some familiar ones came up and teased: "Hey, little Anli, you finally ran out of the alchemy room today?"
Enri nodded seriously: "Yes."
Then he said in frustration: "Just a little bit."
The monk wondered: "What's the difference?"
Enri said: "It's almost done, Ah. Ah Zhi"
She sneezed again.
A mouthful of turbid gray air spread with her sneezing, and the monk hurriedly bowed and left.
Enri bit her lip, her eyes were blank, and she stood there with some torment and embarrassment, as if her heart had stopped beating and she felt like she would die at any time in the next second.
She looked sideways at the sky from time to time, wanting to run away as soon as it got dark.
She was forced to come here today.
Just as her head was buzzing, a voice suddenly came from Enri's ears.
"The demon blood of the ghost-patterned python is combined with iron swallow grass and purple sunflower. After that, the pure yang energy of the two will neutralize the coldness in the blood of the ghost-patterned python to achieve the purpose of forming the Jianggong Pill. Unfortunately, not only do the yin and yang not interact with each other, Instead of checking and balancing, they collided with each other, right? "
"Ah, how do you know?"
Enri was stunned and quickly turned her head, only to see a sword-robed man beside her looking at her with a smile.
At this sight, she was stunned, rubbed her eyes again, took a closer look, and then said sharply: "White villain?!"
Song Yan:? ? ?
An Li was angry and said: "But you collected the body for Senior Sister Xiaojiu and helped her bury it, so forget it. Leave quickly, I don't want to scold you."
Song Yanqi asked: "Did you place the white flowers in front of Xiaojiu's tombstone?"
Enri hummed: "It's me."
After saying that, she added: "Xiaojiu is my good friend, but she hates you."
Song Yan said: "How long have you been practicing alchemy in seclusion?"
An Li said: "I usually don't go out, maybe for three or four months."
After saying this, she seemed to be explaining herself, and said angrily: "I don't go out because I want to practice elixir. Master said that if one day I can practice a more powerful Jianggong elixir, that sword There will be many, many masters out of the door, and you can kill many, many bad guys and monsters!
Moreover, although I don't go out, there are many seniors who will bring me the blood of monsters.
Let me tell you, I have refined many Jianggong pills in the entire Jianmen. Do you still dare to look down on me? ”
Song Yan scratched his hair and then asked: "Did Master force you to come today?"
Enri said: "Master is no longer here."
Song Yan was stunned for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "A lot has happened in the past few months."
Enri said: "I will never listen to a bad person like you."
Song Yan said: "It's about Junior Sister Xiaojiu."
Enri said: "Oh, tell me then."
The two had a conversation.
After hearing this, Enli was stunned for a long time, and then softly said "I'm sorry". Gululu's eyes turned, and when he saw the sky was dark, he let out a long sigh of relief, and then said: "Senior Brother Bai Hui, It’s finally dark, let’s run.”
Song Yan sighed: "I am also studying Jianggong Danfang, and I have a headache."
Enri said: "Me too."
Song Yan said: "I'll come find you tomorrow and study the elixir together, okay?"
Enri looked at him suspiciously.
However, Song Yanzao briefly said a few words about "Ordinary Fire Alchemy" and his mastery of alchemy recipes such as "Xiao Xuan Ling Dan", which made An Li dispel his doubts.
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
Enli instantly smelled the scent of her comrades and said: "Then come, Brother Bai."
