Chapter 476: The Cracked Passage

Chapter 476: The Cracked Passage
Only by climbing high can you see far.

Seeing Wang Wenyuan again, Li Yuan felt quite touched.

The old man is still the same old man, the difference is that his realm and vision have improved.

In his perception, Wang Wenyuan suffered extremely serious injuries, so that his realm fell. Now it seems that he is barely at the level of blood transfusion.

"A tiger in the mountains is like a dragon in the sea. I really misjudged you back then."

The files seemed mostly empty, but seeing Li Yuan in person now, Wang Wenyuan was truly shocked.

In just less than ten years, this kid has transformed from a skinny blacksmith apprentice in a small county into a world-class expert.

This was the speed he had never seen in his life, and only his own host could barely match it.

But before the owner of this building was born, he had been nourished by the king of elixirs such as the Dragon Demon Pill, which can be said to be practicing martial arts in the womb.

The conditions for practicing martial arts are completely different from this kid's.

What kind of physique can ignore such a huge gap?
"I would also like to thank Master Wang for recommending me back then."

Li Yuan was very polite. Without Wang Wenyuan's recommendation, he would not have been able to become Long Xixiang's disciple so easily.

"With your talent, it would only be a matter of time before you join the Dragon and Tiger Temple without my letter."

Wang Wenyuan waved his hand and asked Li Yuan to sit down.

In the small courtyard, there were stone tables and stone benches, as well as hot tea, fruits, and other things. Li Yuan poured tea for him, just as before.

Wang Wenyuan's expression became more relaxed. After being seriously injured many years ago, he had seen many things like people being respectful at first but arrogant later. Considering Li Yuan's current status and position, this attitude was very rare.

Therefore, when Li Yuan asked indirectly, he answered without hesitation and even took out the letter from the poster from his arms.

"This handwriting is correct."

Li Yuan did not expect Master Wang to be so direct. He quickly reached out to take the letter and after a quick look, he recognized the handwriting.

"The owner of the building wrote to me, asking me to open the tower and escort you inside. As for other matters, he did not give any instructions."

After Li Yuan finished reading, Wang Wenyuan took the letter back and pointed to the Bafang Pagoda standing not far away, telling him the origin and benefits of the pagoda.

Old Han was very good at collecting intelligence. What Wang Wenyuan said was almost the same as what Old Han had introduced before, except that it was more detailed.

During the conversation, some secrets of the Star-Picking Tower were also mentioned.

"Zhaixing Tower is different from sects like Longhu Temple. It is more like a martial arts organization and does not have strict rules."

Wang Wenyuan paused and said, "Rebellion is a taboo."

Li Yuan nodded. If there wasn’t even this line, the Zhaixing Tower would have disbanded long ago.

"The Eight Directions Tower is the main altar in the building and also the place for trials. Except for the 108-character killers in the heavens and the earth, most people are not allowed to enter the tower."

Wang Wenyuan only casually mentioned a few rules, which did not apply to Li Yuan. Since the host had spoken, no one dared to object.

Especially now after the assassination of Shendu, the rebellion of Chi Zhuiyang, Murong Qing and others, and the pursuit of the imperial court,

There are only a few elders left in the building.

"Similar to the Dragon Tiger Tower?"

Li Yuan felt something strange.

This Eight Directions Tower has some of the flavor of the Dragon and Tiger Tower no matter how you look at it. The difference is that behind this tower is not the relic of a sect, but the inheritance of the Dragon Demon Taoist.

"Today is a rush, so I will escort you to the tower tomorrow morning."

After a conversation, Wang Wenyuan made a decision. Li Yuan had no objection, but he asked about his elder brother Li Yue before leaving.

"Your elder brother..."

Wang Wenyuan felt a little embarrassed. He remembered his past comments on Li Yuan, which showed that this boy was not as talented as Li Yue.

"Well, he entered the tower last time and hasn't come out yet. When he comes out, I will call him to see you."

"Thank you, Master."

Li Yuan bowed, thanked him, and turned to leave.

……

"I misjudged it, I misjudged it."

After Li Yuan left, Wang Wenyuan's smile disappeared and he felt quite annoyed.

If he had known that this kid had such amazing talent, he would have been crazy to give him to that old man Long Xixiang.

"Next time I see Long Xixiang..."

Wang Wenyuan was gritting his teeth when he suddenly heard a cold voice coming from the room behind him:
"You were the one who sent Li Yuan to Long Xixiang's sect?"

Oops!
Hearing the voice, Wang Wenyuan's face froze. He slowly turned around and saw that the owner of his building was flipping through files in the house with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"This is really a mistake."

Wang Wenyuan smiled bitterly and his life was dark.

In fact, he also felt it was incredible at the moment. He had met Li Yuanke many times in the past. Although he had never touched his bones, he thought he had seen through it enough.

In his eyes, Li Yuan at that time was just an ordinary warrior with some understanding but mediocre foundation.

Who would have expected...

"That's all."

Qin Shixian glanced at him, and seeing that he looked weak, he did not have the heart to blame him, so he turned to look through the files.

The main reason is the casualties and loss of personnel in the Zhaixing Tower in the past three years.

The more she looked, the deeper her frown became.

Zhaixing Tower does not occupy a prefecture or county, so it is naturally impossible for it to recruit and train talented disciples like Dao Zong and the imperial court.

Although there is no shortage of people due to the loose rules, when the crisis comes, many people scatter like birds and beasts.

Surprisingly, most of the files in this list were empty, and the number of missing persons was more than ten times that of the dead and injured.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Wang Wenyuan naturally did not frown at her. Instead, he tidied up the tea table and went to make a pot of tea.

After the tea was brewed, Qin Shixian suppressed his anger and sat down. He raised his hand and almost broke the stone table:
"Chi Zhuiyang, Murong Qing!"

Wang Wenyuan was so frightened that he could even hear the sound of grinding teeth.

After a while, Qin Shixian finally calmed down, picked up the teacup, and listened to Wang Wenyuan talk about what had happened in the past few years, mainly about the Bafang Pagoda.

"Ghost-faced Shura, Han Chuijun?"

Qin Shixian chewed over the name with a somewhat strange look on her face. She found that she was still not concerned enough about what was happening in the building.

It was not until today that she found out that not only Li Yuan, but also Li Yuan's master and elder brother were actually people in her building.

"The last time we defeated Chi Zhuiyang and Murong Qing, it was all thanks to Han Chuijun. Although he only refined his internal organs, he changed the form of hundreds of beasts. Before entering the building, he received a page of inheritance from the Dragon Demon Patriarch..."

Wang Wenyuan was generous with his praise.

"The form of a hundred beasts, the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra..."

Qin Shixian was in a much better mood, and Wang Wenyuan took the opportunity to mention the Dragon Demon Pill:
"Last time Chi Zhuiyang suddenly broke in, the elders were not in the building, and we promised to give him the Dragon Demon Pill and a magic weapon to protect the tower..."

"Stand up in times of crisis and you will be rewarded!"

Qin Shixian agreed with this, but quickly reacted: "Why, Wumian regretted it?"

"It's not that I regret it, but I'm going to wait for you to come back."

Wang Wenyuan said it very tactfully.

"Bastard!"

Qin Shixian raised her eyebrows in anger. If Wang Wenyuan had not quickly stopped her, she would have dragged Mo Yingxiong out to beat him up immediately.

How can you not keep your word at that time?!
wrong……

"Did this old fellow think that the owner of this building was dead?"

Thinking of this, Master Qin became even more angry. Wang Wenyuan tried to stop him again, but failed. He only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the owner of the building had disappeared.

Not long after, he heard a sharp and short scream, and then, with a "thump", Mo Yingxiong was thrown heavily to the ground, with smoke and dust billowing.

"..."

Feeling Mo Yingxiong's shocked and angry eyes, Wang Wenyuan couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh, what was going on?

Looking at the murderous owner Qin, he suddenly missed the old owner very much.

"Rewards and punishments are not clear, he deserves to be beaten."

Qin Shixian glanced at him coldly. Mo Yingxiong was covered in dirt, but he just glared at Wang Wenyuan fiercely.

After the fight, Qin Shixian took out four more large pills:

"In times of danger, guarding the secret realm is also a reward."

The pill was as black as ink, with dragon patterns on it that sparkled with blood. It was the only king of elixirs in Zhaixing Tower, the Dragon Demon Pill.

The recipe for this pill comes from Taoist Dragon Demon. It is not easy to refine, but the medicinal power is extremely strong. It not only nourishes the physical body, but also strengthens the spirit and nourishes the spiritual realm.

“…It’s really rough.”

Looking at the two Dragon Demon Pills in their hands, Wang Wenyuan and the other man looked at each other with strange expressions.

To them, the method used by the owner of the Qin Tower was indeed a bit crude, but they quickly put it away and bowed to express their gratitude:

"Thank you for the reward, OP."

In any case, this reward is extremely generous. Under normal circumstances, with their status, they would only have one Dragon Demon Pill every twenty years.

"Ah."

After giving a few quick instructions, Qin Shixian waved her hand and asked the two to leave. She touched the few Dragon Demon Pills in her sleeves and suddenly felt a headache.

She still owes Li Yuan ten.

……

……

"Zhaixing Tower is quite poor."

In the small courtyard, Li Yuan looked around at the furnishings and pondered in his heart.

No matter how big a killer organization is, it is impossible for it to be a wealthy sect that controls a region and is called a sect but is actually a vassal king.

Thinking back on his observations along the way, as well as the information he got from Old Han and Old Master Wang, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little worried about the ten Dragon Demon Pills that the owner of Zhaixing Tower had promised him.

"As the master of Zhaixing Tower, a great master on the God List, and a giant of the immortal level on earth, you can't just owe a debt and not pay it back, right?"

Li Yuan's "talking to himself" was somewhat loud. He didn't know if the Star Picking Tower owner was watching from the side, but the person who was secretly following him must have been able to hear it.

After mumbling to himself for a few times, he entered the house, opened the window first, and let the smell go.

It was obvious that no one had lived in this house for a long time. Although it was cleaned fairly well, it smelled very bad and the bedding was covered in dust.

No matter how unpicky Li Yuan was, he couldn't sleep with this thing, so he threw all the bedding into the wooden basin in the yard.

"It's hard to go from luxury to frugality."

While washing the bedding, Master Li Dao couldn't help feeling a little emotional, but he didn't think much of it. After all, in his early years, he used to wash pots every day.

Washing the bedding is no big deal for him.

After washing and hanging them up, the smell in the room dissipated. Li Yuanxu practiced a few sets of standing meditation and then sat cross-legged on the bed.

When he first arrived at the Eight Directions Secret Realm, he was somewhat cautious and did not control the Thunder Beast Spirit Pill to change his constitution. It is better to be safe than sorry.

"call!"

Sitting cross-legged in meditation, Li Yuan looked inward at his own body.

There was a bright light inside my body.

After the Niwan Palace was opened, Li Yuan's inner vision skills also improved greatly. When he closed his eyes, every muscle, bone and internal organ in his body was clearly visible.

Changes in the bones will inevitably affect the physical body.

For those with good root bones, the external features may be "broad-shouldered and strong-willed" or "ape-like and wasp-like"; these external features represent one's own root bones to a certain extent.

However, the best bones only have a few forms at most, but he now has more than seven hundred forms.

It is no longer possible to describe it with a single shape. His limbs, torso, waist and neck can dazzle any expert in bone-touching.

Most of the words in the world that describe one's character, such as dragon, tiger, bear, and wolf, can be used to describe him.

His physical body was also transforming like a grain of sand into a tower. Although he had not undergone a blood transfusion, his physical strength was no less than any master he had ever seen.

Wow~
Qi, blood and true energy flow through the body, passing through the flesh, internal organs and bones, and directly into the limbs and bones, over and over again.

His internal organs, after being washed again and again, emitted a bright light, and his bones were like beautiful jade, which made the sound of gold and jade when rubbed gently.

"The transformation of 'Six Spirit Elephants' and 'Nine Python Bodies' will probably be completed in the next few days... Let's meet the Star Picking Tower Master first."

Ever since the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace recognized its master, he has been very wary of secret realms, especially those of his sect.

Does anyone know if this Eight-Direction Tower has monitoring capabilities?

If someone saw him growing a coat of dog hair when he changed his bones, it would be really scary.

"Or maybe, for a Taoist master, dogification is nothing?"

Li Yuan pondered in his heart.

If changing one's form is the beginning of being inhuman, then blood transfusion must have already become inhuman.

A warrior who has mastered blood transfusion can, after paying a certain price, truly transform his body into that of a beast.

"Transfusion."

Li Yuan felt the blood flowing in his body.

He has already accomplished a lot in marrow refining, although he is still a little short of perfection. But that is only because he is progressing too fast. In fact, he can already start blood transfusion.

"With my current talent, plus two Dragon Tiger Pills, maybe I can complete the blood transfusion in a hundred days?"

Li Yuan was still somewhat confident about his own progress in martial arts.

Because he knew this, he didn't mind waiting a while to make up for the lack of heat in marrow refining and to complete the thousand forms.

Gathering a thousand forms may not necessarily lead to a substantial transformation of his talents, but it is crucial for him to completely control the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer.

By then, there will not just be a thousand forms, but tens of thousands of forms.

"Om~"

Li Yuan was multitasking, maintaining his visualization and the circulation of his Qi at the same time, at the same time he changed his mind and changed to the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer.

The next moment, they had entered the Xuanjing Secret Realm and arrived at the mountain gate of the Xuanjing Sect.

Even when he was on the road, he would come to practice the Xuanjing Sect's true trial every now and then. Along the way, he actually gained a lot.

In total, he obtained nine Black Whale Fighting Hammers, including the two he had obtained before, which made a total of eleven magical weapons.

What's even more rare is that these eight Black Whale Hammers are very compatible. If he is willing to spend money on them, theoretically, he can combine three eighth-level magic weapons and still have two seventh-level ones left.

"Woo~"

The spirit of the black whale made a slight trembling sound. Ever since Li Yuan got the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace to recognize it as its master, the spirit of the hammer has been keeping a low profile.

Li Yuan ignored the Hammer Spirit's gesture of goodwill and with a change of mind, he had already crossed the mountain gate archway.

buzzing~~
There were clouds and mist rolling inside the mountain gate, and the light was flickering.

Soon, the passage for the true trial emerged, and the familiar stone tablet also rose from the ground.

Li Yuan put down the Black Whale Hammer and was about to take a step forward when he suddenly heard a "click" and the passage in front of him split open.
