The Tianlan Temple was originally built to worship the Tianlan Holy Beast, but after so many years of evolution, it has become a holy place in the hearts of the Tuwu people and a place dedicated to training low-level immortal masters of the Tuwu tribe.
There are several high-level immortal masters in each temple, who are responsible for teaching some basic cultivation methods.
Once they have achieved success, those with lower qualifications will directly return to various tribes and be worshiped by the tribes, while those with promising training prospects will be accepted as disciples by high-level immortal cultivators and specially trained.
These temples are not many in number, only sixty or seventy, but they are evenly distributed throughout the grassland.
But each one is almost the center of a large area, surrounded by thousands of large and small tribes.
When Yan Yun came here, in addition to hunting the Tianlan Holy Beast, he also had another idea, which was to see if Tianlan's cultivation method had any merit.
At the speed of these mortals, it took several months to walk from the tribe to Tianlan Temple.
As the leader of the clan, Yinglu stood on a carriage and looked back at seven or eight carriages.
Four of them were loaded with tributes. They were pulled by horses carefully selected from the tribe, and the vehicles were made of red birch wood.
However, for the sake of caution, the surfaces of all vehicles are shabby and extremely old.
Without these measures, something might have happened long ago.
"Hey, what is that?"
At this moment, a clear female voice came from beside Yinglu, and there was a hint of surprise in her voice.
This woman's name is Yingshan, she is fifteen or sixteen years old. She is a junior of Yinglu and one of the few people in the tribe who have been tested to have spiritual roots.
Naturally, he is loved by herons.
The old man was startled when he heard this and quickly looked up.
I saw a purple stream of light flashing from time to time in the bushes not far away, and there was something vaguely inside.
Looking at such a magical scene, Yinglu felt certain.
As a tribal leader, he was naturally not unfamiliar with the spiritual light emitted by the immortal master when he cast spells.
Is there really an immortal master who wants to attack a team as poor as theirs?
Yinglu's heart sank, and he suddenly raised his hand, and the team behind him suddenly stopped.
Everyone else also saw the purple stream of light in the bushes ahead, and their faces couldn't help but show a bit of panic and alertness.
The old man forced himself to rein in the reins calmly and stood still, but all kinds of thoughts were racing in his mind, thinking hard about how to protect himself.
But after a while, the old man realized something was wrong.
At this moment, a young man wearing a white robe slowly walked out of the bushes.
Looking at Yan Yun who appeared in front of him, Ying Lu's expression changed and he immediately bowed his hands towards Yan Yun and saluted:
"I don't know which immortal master is here. We are from the Heron tribe, and we came here to pay homage to the immortal master's true appearance."
"I've never heard of the Heron Club!"
Yan Yun's cold eyes swept across the old man in front of him, and said calmly: "My surname is Yan, what are you doing here?"
"It turns out to be Master Yan. We really didn't know it was you who was here just now. We offended you in many ways. We hope that Master Xian can forgive you."
At this point, Yinglu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked: "I don't know which tribe you are from, maybe I know your tribe."
Yan Yun glanced at Yinglu, with a smile on his lips, and replied: "I just left the army not long ago, and I am not worshiped by that tribe for the time being."
"Ah! Your Excellency turns out to be a free man. Since Master Immortal Master appears here alone, he must have gone to the temple. The Spiritual Opening Day happens once every twenty years, and Immortal Master Yan will definitely not miss it."< br>
When Yinglu heard that the other party was actually free, the vague thoughts in his heart suddenly became stronger.
Naturally, the inner movements of ordinary mortals were not hidden from Yan Yun.
Yan Yun glanced at Yinglu and said: "Since you didn't do it unintentionally, forget about it and you can go."
Seeing that Yan Yun let him and others leave so easily, Yinglu, who was still a little worried at first, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, then with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands towards Yan Yun and said:
"Master Immortal, since you are going to the temple, I wonder if you can temporarily accept the employment of our Cangbu. As long as you accompany us to the temple, I am willing to pay twenty spiritual stones to hire you."
"Hire me?"
Yan Yun glanced at Ying Heron and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Yes, Master Immortal is going to the temple anyway, so why not wait with me."
Yinglu nodded, with a sincere look on his face, and replied: "There is no immortal master following me along the way. I am really afraid that I will not be able to reach the temple safely."
A mere twenty low-level spiritual stones would naturally not be able to catch Yan Yun's eyes, but following Yinglu, he could go to the temple in a legitimate manner.
With this in mind, Yan Yun nodded: "It's okay to go with you, but I want to collect half of the spirit stones first, and pay the other half to me immediately when we get there."
"This is natural. I will pay the spirit stone to the immortal master now."
Yinglu looked happy, and then reached out to fumble in his arms.
After a while, he took out a palm-sized cloth bag, took out ten spiritual stones in front of everyone, and handed them to Yan Yun.
Yan Yun flicked his wrist, and with a flash of light in his hand, ten low-level spirit stones disappeared in an instant.
Such a scene made the girl next to Yinglu cover her mouth and exclaim.
"Why, haven't you even seen a storage bag?"
Yan Yun flipped his wrist, and a white storage bag appeared in his hand.
There was nothing in the storage bag, so he gently threw it directly in front of the girl.
"I'll give you this storage bag."
After listening to Yan Yun's words, the girl's face was filled with joy and she exclaimed: "Thank you, Master Immortal."
"Give me a vacant carriage."
Yan Yun ignored it, glanced at Yinglu, and spoke.
"It's an immortal master."
Yinglu bowed his hands respectfully, then turned around and said loudly:.
"You guys, hurry up and vacate the best carriage, let Master Yanxian meditate and rest on the carriage, and make your movements more flexible for me"
Upon hearing what the clan leader said, some young people were secretly happy because there was an additional immortal master in the team.
Immediately, he took action like he was waking up from a dream, unloaded all the goods from one carriage, and then distributed them to the other carriages.
Yan Yun was not polite. Once the carriage was packed up, he waved his sleeves lightly, and his figure turned into a shadow and disappeared out of thin air.
There was only a leisurely whisper.
"I'll just rest in the car. If anything happens, just call me."
Yinglu saluted towards the void and said: "Of course, I know this."
Then Yinglu glanced at the convoy behind him and shouted: "Okay, now that we have a divine master in our convoy, everyone can go on the road with peace of mind. Everyone mounts their horses and sets off immediately."
Having said this, he suddenly turned around, looked at the girl beside him, and said with profound meaning:
"Yingshan, please follow the Immortal Master's carriage. If the Immortal Master has any instructions, do it promptly. You must serve the Immortal Master well."
Yingshan is also a smart person. When she heard this, she immediately understood what her elders meant and burst into laughter like silver bells. It is now more than half a year since Yan Yun left the Moon Covering Sect.
After leaving Tiannan that day, he directly entered Tianlan Grassland.
Yan Yun, who possesses breath-containing skills, had a very smooth journey along the way, unlike Han Li who encountered unexpected elders chasing him.
The Heron people outside the motorcade were very interested in Master Yan, but since Master Yan entered the vehicle, he never came out again.
They are naturally invisible.
The leader of the clan, Yinglu, strictly prohibited these tribesmen from disturbing the immortal master's practice, which greatly frustrated the rest of the people.
In the next ten days or so, I don't know if it was thanks to the great fortune of Master Yan. Not only did I find a herd of wild sheep in the canyon I passed by, but I also caught enough prey.
In the next half month, the team was safe and sound.
This made the frightened Ying Heron breath a sigh of relief.
He calculated the distance. In a few days, he would reach an extremely safe place to rest.
It was a temporary residence that Tianlan Temple quickly established with its magic power, specifically for tribes of all sizes who had come from a long way to gather and rest.
At this time, a loud roar of a heron came from outside the carriage.
"Everyone has cheered up. After two days of walking, we will arrive at the designated location of the temple. There, we can rest peacefully for two days."
"Temple Station?"
Yan Yun's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that it was finally here.
In the next half day, Yan Yun's consciousness surged, and he soon discovered another troop convoy nearby.
Although this unit is not very large, it has many more people than the Heron unit.
Nearly an hour later, the two tribute teams discovered each other's existence almost at the same time.
As a result, both sides naturally fell into chaos.
But after a while, both sides sent people to communicate, and it turned out that the tribal leader of the convoy was an old acquaintance of Yinglu, and he was a small tribe called Red Wolf.
As a result, Yinglu and the leader of the other party were naturally overjoyed. Without any hesitation, they directly merged the two teams into one and went on the road together.
After all, this way, it can be safer.
"Brother Ying, where are the immortal masters in your tribe? Are they on the carriage?"
The leader of the opponent was a big man with a beard, looking at Yinglu's carriages. asked somewhat curiously.
"Isn't your immortal master also in the car?"
Yinglu glanced at the leader and replied vaguely: "I don't know that the Red Wolf Department brought a few immortal masters on the road this time."
"Our small tribe is naturally just one. I was so shameless that I spent a lot of money to lure a free immortal master to stay in my tribe temporarily."
The big man glanced sideways at the old man and said hehey.
The two of them had some friendship back then, so they didn't have to worry too much about talking.
"It was also very difficult for us to get the immortal master to agree to escort us on the road."
Yinglu said with a sigh, and then after looking at each other with the big man, both of them couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling quite like brothers in distress.
The two leaders of the small tribe couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to each other at this moment.
"Well, no matter what, it is always much safer to have an immortal master in the team."
Yinglu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Now it's only more than a day's journey from the station, so there won't be any more problems."
During the rest of the journey, the ordinary tribesmen in the two teams got along well, and the conversation was extremely harmonious.
Especially several young girls, surrounded by young tribesmen, gave out clear smiles.
Indifferently, these women all possess spiritual roots and have outstanding looks, which naturally arouses the excitement of many men.
When Ying heard the laughter behind him, he couldn't help but shake his head. He was about to look back and restrain his followers so as not to offend the immortal master in the carriage.
But at this moment, a strange bird call suddenly came from high in the sky. The sound sounded like an eagle but not an eagle, but it was very clear and reached the ears of everyone below.
As soon as Yinglu heard this voice, his expression immediately changed and he quickly turned his head to look at the big man next to him.
I saw that the big man also had an ugly face and a look of panic in his eyes.
"Everyone dismount immediately to avoid this. This is a demonic ape. Call Master Yanxian out quickly!"
The old man shouted in horror, and almost at the same time, the big man also shouted to his tribe.
"Hide behind the car and quickly ask Master Fengxian to deal with the demonic bird."
Upon hearing the name of the ape, the entire convoy went into chaos. Everyone turned over and dismounted in horror, and a few timid ones even rolled off their horses.
Everyone was lying under the horse or hiding behind the car, looking into the sky with pale faces.
I saw three black spots appearing in the sky at some point, and began to grow rapidly. Almost instantly, three brown demon birds appeared in everyone's sight.
It has the head of an ape and the body of a bird. Under the two-foot-long giant wings, there are also a pair of hairy ape arms. From its open mouth, it makes a bone-chilling cry, which makes everyone who looks at it sink in their hearts. .
Although the demon bird ape is only a second-level demon bird on the prairie, it is far smarter and more ferocious than the demon beasts of the same level. Not only is it extremely powerful, its pair of sharp claws can break stone and crack gold.
Moreover, the strange sounds from the mouth are more miraculous. Not to mention ordinary mortals, even low-level immortal masters in the foundation building stage often find it difficult to deal with it.
It's just that this kind of monster bird rarely appears on the plains, but now three of them appeared at once, and the people in the convoy were shocked and frightened.
"Why panic! Aren't they just a few second-level monsters?"
A cold snort came from a carriage of the Red Wolf tribe, and then the red light flashed on the carriage. A figure suddenly flew out of the carriage, floating in the low air with a brocade handkerchief on his feet, and shouted coldly.
When the three demonic apes saw the blue-robed man rising up with the weapon, a hint of murderous intent flashed in their eyes.
Although he knew it was not easy to provoke, he couldn't bear to let go of the prey in his mouth, so he couldn't help but hesitate, and hovered more than a hundred high above the ground.
"Hmph! Looking for death!"
The man in blue robe looked at the three monster birds, snorted coldly, then raised his right hand and took out several talismans.
In an instant, it transformed into several feet-long fiery snakes and shot straight at the demonic birds.
"Fire Snake Technique?"
At this time, Yan Yun's body swayed and he landed on the vehicle at the same time. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the man in blue robe quietly with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Although this fire snake technique is only a low-level spell, if it is refined into a talisman, it is not something that a foundation-building immortal cultivator can use casually and extravagantly.
Because although the three fire snakes were extremely ferocious, they were so far apart that they were easily avoided by the three ape vultures.
This man in blue robe was so superficial in the Fire Snake Technique that he didn't know how to command the Fire Snake to track the enemy on the way, thus wasting several talismans.
It even aroused the ferocity of the three demonic birds. (End of chapter)
