Chapter 290 At Midnight

Such long eyebrows...

Li Yuan bowed and greeted him with great respect, his eyes glancing at this great master of the Divine List.

I only felt that its aura was almost non-existent. It was not that it was deliberately hidden, but that the aura was mixed in all directions, naturally.

Golden light emerged in his eyes, but strangely, the golden light was very blurry, as if it was covered by something and could not be seen clearly.

"Unity of Heaven and Man? Or, Divine Realm?"

This thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the old Taoist who was smiling and looked like an immortal.

In one hand he was carrying an unconscious old man, and in the other hand he was holding a set of armor, which was the [Four Vajra Armor of Flesh and Blood (Seventh Level)].

Compared to the blurry body of the Taoist master, this Taoist was covered in patches of light, but the brightest thing was the long sword hanging at his waist.

[Thousand Forged Tiger Sword (Level 6)]

This should be the leader of Humen, Nie Xianshan?
"No need to be polite, just get up."

Before Long Yingchan could speak, Long Xixiang coughed lightly and blocked the gaze of the two old guys behind him.

"You have been a disciple for less than a year and have achieved such success. Junior brother has accepted a good disciple."

Glancing at Long Xixiang, Nie Xianshan casually threw Fang Chaotong to Monk Dou Yue and said with a smile:

"My last name is Nie."

Long Xixiang added: "This is your Uncle Nie."

"Greetings, Uncle Nie."

Li Yuan bowed again. He always felt that the old Taoist looked at him in a strange way.

"okay."

Seeing Long Xixiang's gloomy face, before Nie Xianshan could say anything else, Long Yingchan spoke at the right time:
"I'm hungry, let's go back to the mountain. Yunshan has prepared vegetarian food, you guys can come too."

He said it lightly, but naturally no one dared to ignore it. They all followed him past the dragon stele and entered the secret realm of health preservation.

"Brother, what happened just now?"

Li Yuan transmitted the message to the secret and asked Dou Yue.

"Capture this beast."

Dou Yue grabbed Fang Chaotong by the scruff of the neck with a rough movement, as if he was going to crush him to death.

This is a loss...

Li Yuan changed his mind and asked for details. Monk Dou Yue did not hide anything and started talking to him.

The two brothers walked last and entered the secret realm of health preservation.

hum~
The secret realm of health preservation is almost the same as the Longhu Mountains. Li Yuan feels a little dazed every time he enters it.

The health-preserving secret realm rooted in the Longhu Mountains is much more realistic than the Xuanjing Secret Realm. It not only carries the three main halls of the Longhu Temple, but also nourishes countless plants.

He tried to grow spiritual rice in the outside world, but many attempts ended in failure. He guessed that the growth of this spiritual rice was related to the Xuanbing true qi.

"The three main halls, Dragon and Tiger, Health Preservation, and Divine Elephant, are the real core of our Dragon and Tiger Temple. Only those who have passed the 'First Floor of the Dragon and Tiger Tower' are qualified to join them."

On the way to the main peak, Dou Yue whispered to Li Yuan about the secret realm of health preservation and the main meridians of the dragon and tiger.

"The first floor of Dragon Tiger Tower?"

Li Yuan followed his gaze and looked towards the tall tower. At that moment, a faint light was blooming on the tower, but most of it was distributed below the fifth floor.

"Someone is trying to break into the tower."

Monk Dou Yue explained.

"Greetings to the Taoist Master and the two Sect Masters!"

"Daoist!"

"Uncle!"

The arrival of Long Yingchan naturally caused a stir. Many disciples and even elders under the tower bowed to him.

Li Yuan took one look at it, and then looked at it a few more times.

In front of his eyes, there were various colored lights, which were the highest grade batch he had ever seen. They started with top grade famous weapons, and there were a lot of top grade famous weapons, and there were even some quasi-divine weapons.

As for the divine soldiers...

"Divine weapons are scarce."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Among the most elite disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Inner Sect, the only one who possessed a magical weapon that Li Yuan had seen so far was Long Xinglie.

Xin Wenhua, Shan Hong and Lin Fangzhui, who all received the true teachings, only have quasi-divine weapons.

Most of the people sitting under this tall tower are brothers from the previous generation who are over sixty years old and have great talents and comprehension. Many of them have a powerful aura that is no less powerful than that of Monk Dou Yue.

Divine weapon, not a single one.

"Longhu Temple has no shortage of divine weapons."

He glanced at the divine armor held by Nie Xianshan. Over the past two thousand years, Longhu Temple had produced only a few divine craftsmen, but it was impossible for it to lack divine weapons.

The reason for this can only be because the "magic weapon has spirit".

"These fellow disciples are really good at martial arts."

Lights of various colors connected together, and among them there were many weapons that were controlled by various superior secret and unique martial arts.

Master Li Dao was a little envious. Although he was practicing martial arts very quickly now, who would refuse to be faster?

We still have to continue to exchange old for new.

Under the tall tower, there stands a huge monument with various names listed on it. From bottom to top, there are probably more than a thousand names.

"Long Xinglie, broke through the sixth floor of the tower, and succeeded in blood exchange."

Li Yuan saw a familiar name. On the tiger stele, this Senior Brother Long was still ranked very high, at number twenty-ninth.

The reason why he is ranked very high is that Xin Wenhua, who is ranked second on the Dragon List, is ranked outside the top 700 and has only reached three levels of the tower.

"The Taoist Master is first, Old Taoist Nie is second, and Old Dragon Head is third... The seventh floor seems to be a watershed. There are only six people above the seventh floor?"

Li Yuan was a little surprised. Looking at it this way, Long Xinglie's ranking was too high.

There are nine halls in Longhu Temple, but each has three hall masters and deputy hall masters. In other words, many deputy hall masters are not ranked as high as this senior brother Long!

"This tower is somewhat dangerous. Junior brother, you are not good at killing. Do not enter the tower without permission."

Seeing Li Yuan in a daze, Dou Yue glanced at him and sent a warning.

Disciples of famous masters have always had the problem of being overambitious and lacking the skills to achieve their goals. Being good at martial arts does not mean being able to fight. He was somewhat worried about Li Yuan.

Apart from forging iron, this kid has been practicing martial arts. His martial arts skills are quite high, but I'm afraid he has never even seen blood. If he wants to break into the tower, he will probably have to endure for years.

"Thank you, senior brother, for the tip."

Li Yuan came back to his senses, looking a little strange, but he did not refute.

"When I have time, I'll find a few spirit beasts for you to practice with."

Dou Yue said softly, slowly following his master.

"Spiritual beast..."

Li Yuan thought about it. Speaking of spirit beasts, he thought of the Heavenly Received Scripture...

"The second talisman has already used the blood of the spirit beast king, and the third one..."

Li Yuan immediately gave up the idea. He took a deep look at the tall tower and quickly followed it.

Tata is definitely going to break in.

Not to mention that this tower might be related to the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace. Even if it is not related, he cannot give it up just because it is related to the share of elixirs and spiritual rice.

"When we've almost finished eating the spiritual rice, let's climb up one level and give it a try."

Li Yuan has a plan in mind.

Although Dou Yue didn't say it, he naturally knew the benefits of the Dragon and Tiger List. In addition to elixirs and rice, it seemed to be related to the magical skills passed down in the Dragon and Tiger Temple.

Near the high tower is the main mountain gate of the Dragon and Tiger vein. Walking along the way, Li Yuan was dazzled by the sight. The brothers and elders coming and going here all had at least one top-grade famous weapon.

What made him even more excited was the incense. "The incense is very popular."

Li Yuan muttered to himself, and of course he kept his eyes straight ahead as he followed the crowd, but along the way he saw at least a dozen small temples with high-level incense.

There is a temple among them whose incense is even more popular than the small temple at Laolongtou.

"This incense seems to be used to nourish the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace..."

On the main mountain road, Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Since entering the secret realm of health preservation, the light of the dragon and tiger health preservation furnace has been flashing in front of his eyes.

He discovered that the more popular the incense, the brighter the black light, and vice versa.

There is a house at the foot of the main peak.

Long Yingchan prepared a vegetarian banquet as he had abstained from meat for many years.

Although it was a vegetarian banquet, the banquet set up by Taoist Master Longhu was naturally of very high standards. The banquet was filled with various spiritual plants and the fragrance was everywhere.

The spiritual rice is top-grade purple bamboo rice. As its name suggests, each grain of rice is as big as a bamboo shoot and purple all over, like jade.

With Li Yuan's current appetite, he was so full after eating only three of them that he couldn't eat anything else. This thing was even better than the compressed dry food in his previous life.

After the banquet, Li Yuan secretly hid a few grains of purple bamboo rice in his sleeves, and then said goodbye to his elders and fellow apprentices.

……

Inside Long's residence, a group of maids swiftly cleaned up the leftovers. Long Yingchan held a cup of tea and sipped it. It tasted bitter at first, and even more bitter in the aftertaste.

"What about Fang Chaotong?"

Nie Xianshan was playing with the divine weapon-level armor, with a slightly annoyed look on his face.

He tried several times on the way. This armor was harder than Fang Chaotong's, and he seemed to be determined to die rather than surrender.

"Just kill him."

Long Xixiang yawned. He was full after eating and drinking, and he didn't plan to stay any longer. Anyway, no matter how much he said, he wouldn't be able to remember it tomorrow.

"Keep him prisoner."

Long Yingchan put down the teacup and watched Long Xixiang go out.

"Ah."

Before leaving, Long Xixiang seemed to have thought of something and looked back at the two old guys in the room:
"It's not easy for me to accept a disciple. If you dare to plot against me, I will be merciless!"

The two people in the room looked at each other. Long Yingchan held the teacup, his two white eyebrows wagging back and forth:
"You worry too much. Although your disciple's talent is not bad, he may not be better than Xinglie. Even if you want him to become my disciple, I will not accept him."

"is it?"

Long Xixiang was a little suspicious, and looked at Nie Xianshan with a sullen face. The latter calmly put down the teacup, with a puzzled look on his face:
"Which disciple are you talking about?"

"Of course, of course..."

Long Xixiang closed his mouth and breathed heavily.

Seeing his chest heaving, Nie Xianshan's eyelids twitched wildly, and he quickly responded:
"I will never compete with you for a disciple, and I have my brother as your witness!"

"Humph!"

After hearing what he said, Long Xixiang turned away. After he left the door, he took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, read them over and over again, and muttered that he was going back to the mountain.

"Ugh."

Watching Long Xixiang go away, Nie Xianshan's smile faded, and a bit of melancholy appeared on his face:

"Junior brother is becoming more and more forgetful. I'm afraid it won't be long before he forgets everything about you and me, and even himself."

"Nothing can be done without destruction. It all depends on whether he can get through it."

Long Yingchan closed his eyes, as if savoring the bitterness of tea leaves: "Next spring, I can start refining that furnace of 'Dragon Tiger Health Pills'."

"So urgent?"

Nie Xianshan frowned: "It took fifty years to gather enough spiritual materials for one furnace. Should we prepare it more properly?"

"You and I can wait, but my junior brother can't."

Long Yingchan opened his eyes, his gaze calm.

Seeing this, Nie Xianshan said no more, but suddenly raised his head:
"Come to think of it, Senior Brother, when you saw Li Yuan just now, your aura seemed a little unstable. Could it be that you want to compete with him for his disciple?"

"My word is as good as gold. If I say I won't accept it, then I won't accept it."

Long Yingchan said no more and served the guest tea.

"is it?"

Nie Xianshan's eyes flickered: "Then does your promise to me still count?"

"what ever."

Long Yingchan glanced at him indifferently, and then the latter stood up and said goodbye.

"call!"

Inside the house, Long Yingchan drank tea silently until night fell, then he slowly raised his eyelids, his eyes dim, "The body is like a golden elixir that does not leak, and the spiritual light is like a tide that never stops. This kind of talent..."

He stood up and paced a few steps in the room. Long Yingchan paused, his two white eyebrows dancing up and down like little snakes:

"Junior brother, I only said that I would not accept your disciple, but I didn't seem to say who it was, right?"

Woo~
The night wind blew into the house. Nie Xianshan listened to the wind to determine the direction and found that the breathing in the house was stable, so he slowly retreated.

Call ~
Almost at the same time, the door closed.

……

……

"Incense is a really good thing."

Inside the house at the main peak of Longmen, Li Yuan lit an oil lamp and carefully examined the purple bamboo rice. The more he looked at it, the more excited he felt.

Pills are more or less toxic, but spiritual rice is not. It is practical for a long time and can nourish the body. Purple Bamboo Spiritual Rice is the best among them.

He estimated that one pill was worth at least three Mind-Conserving Small Rejuvenating Pills.

"How exactly does the sect use incense to keep this furnace going?"

Seeing that the health-preserving secret realm was doing so well, Master Li Dao, who also held a secret realm of mysterious soldiers, was indeed a little jealous, but he still didn't know the principle behind it.

"It's still not high enough."

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan really had no idea what to do. This kind of method must be top secret. He didn't even have a true disciple, so how could he get access to it?

Old Dragon Head is just forgetful, but that doesn't mean he is easy to fool.

"We can only figure it out slowly."

Leaning against the head of the bed, Li Yuan closed his eyes and practiced visualization while moving his internal energy.

After accommodating all forms with the Thunder Dragon, his internal energy surged. After more than ten days, he had forged all twelve energy channels and named his Dantian the 'Qi Sea'.

This is a sign that his meridians have been opened to great success. At this point, he can start preparing to 'transform Qi into truth' in order to refine his internal organs.

In addition, his Shenzu Meridian has been further developed, and the 'acupoints' of both feet have also been incorporated into the internal energy circulation, the speed has increased a lot, and the speed of internal energy accumulation has also been much faster.

"The internal energy transformation is a very slow process, and we can't rush it. Hmm... after a few days, the Mysterious Whale Diagram should have some shape, so it won't be too late to wait.

There is also the fusion of dragon and elephant, which can also be tried out, and it would be even better if it can be integrated into the black whale diagram."

The powerful mental strength can support Li Yuan to multitask and think divergently.

Gradually, as the night deepened, Li Yuan's breathing became steady and he fell into a deep sleep.

"Woo~"

As soon as Li Yuan fell asleep, the little tiger cub appeared on the windowsill and glanced at the little mouse that popped out of the hole in the corner of the wall.

The next moment, she was at the bedside.

She was pacing and was about to approach Li Yuan when she suddenly realized something. She fell on the bed with a puff and soon began to snore.

But when she opened her eyes a little, she saw wisps of mist as light as clouds coming with the breeze and entering Li Yuan's mouth and nose.

"???!"
