Chapter 647 Before Leaving
Chapter 647 Before Leaving (Two in One)
Woo~
There was a faint flash of light on the Bafang Mountain, and Dong Twenty-three walked out of the Wanyuan Divine Mirror.
"Master Gu, how is it?"
The human-headed bird flapped its wings to greet it.
"He is indeed a Daluo Tianmen. I can sense the aura from the depths of the netherworld in him. That aura is as vast as the ocean, boundless and limitless..."
Dong Twenty-three was very secretive about it and only mentioned it briefly.
When he was talking with Li Yuan just now, he was far from being as relaxed as he appeared. He even had to carefully consider every word he said and only told him some information that was known to everyone. He did not even dare to mention some of the secrets about the Weitian Dao Sect.
"This kid has made it to the top in one step!"
The human-headed bird felt jealous because it was obviously the one he had set his eyes on first.
"Do you think you can defeat Daluotian?"
Sensing the resentment of the human-headed monster bird, Dong Twenty-three felt speechless.
Although he felt a little regretful, he was also very clear that since Li Yuan had such good fortune, there was no way he could keep him.
The status of Weitian Dao Sect is far beyond the comparison of the five great caves in Tianshiyuan, and it is said that Daluotian is one of the oldest ones even in Weitian Dao Sect.
If the master was still alive, maybe he could fight for it, but now...
"Where is Weitian Dao Sect? Li brat is rootless and has no foundation. If we are willing to support him, will he refuse?"
The human-headed monster bird was somewhat unwilling. A real seed cultivated by the Bafang Temple itself was far more reliable than those cultivated by outsiders.
"If we can get on Daluotian, then my lord..."
"shut up!"
Dong Twenty-three's face darkened and he interrupted it:
"That person is too advanced in Taoism and has great magical powers. Even if you don't mention his name, as long as you mention the cause and effect related to him, it is likely to alarm him!"
The strange bird with a human head laughed awkwardly and changed the subject:
"Master Gu, didn't you talk to him about the Three Yang Yun Dao Formation?"
"That kid was as cunning as a devil, and he didn't give me any room to speak..."
Dong Ershisan sighed. There was one thing that he and the human-headed monster bird had in common, and that was to take advantage of Daluotian.
But this kid really surprised him. He was very frugal with words during the conversation and didn't even mention the "disaster of heaven and earth", which made him swallow back the words he had prepared.
"Who made you old..."
"Snapped!"
He raised his hand and knocked the human-headed bird to the ground. Dong Ershisan's face was as gloomy as water: "If you dare to say anything more, I will pluck out all your hair!"
"Master Gu, spare my life."
The human-headed bird shook off the dust on its body, flapped its wings and flew back:
"Master Gu, are you really going to give that Wan a portion of the 'Three Lights Divine Water'? We only have less than 20 portions left in Curry. Wouldn't it be a pity to give it to him?"
"What else? Give it to Li Yuan?"
Dong Ershisan glanced at him with a complicated expression: "The Daluotian Divine Fire made up for the last deficiency of this kid. His current divine endowment has also reached the "superior" level. Although it is still far inferior to his natural talent, the Three Lights Divine Water has no effect on him."
The Three Lights Holy Water was an extremely rare treasure from heaven and earth. It was the holy water that was born from the intersection of the three lights of the sun, moon and stars. Only a strong man who had achieved the state of a magician could pick and condense it.
This water not only has the ability to refine one's innate talents and endowments, but can also make up for the loss of lifespan. It is quite rare even in the universe.
But this holy water also has its limits. At least the Three Lights Holy Water in the Eight Directions Secret Treasury can only refine talents close to the Heavenly Star level at best, which is completely useless to Li Yuan.
"God and devil talent, the best divine gift, this kid's current talent is no less than Ying Xuantian, Feng Qingcang, Fa Wushe... and others!"
The human-headed strange bird sighed with some emotion, then drew a circle in the air with its wings. The interweaving of light and shadow revealed a fierce battle in the Taoist tower.
"The thirteenth floor of the Daobing Tower?"
Dong Twenty-three glanced at the man who was fighting among the Taoist soldiers. It was an old man in black with a bronze ghost mask. He was maneuvering and fighting in the fight among many Taoist soldiers, and managed to remain undefeated.
After a moment's thought, he recognized who this old man was:
"Li Yuan's master was called Han..."
"Han Chuijun!"
The strange bird with a human head added: "Although this person is older and less gifted, he is the best choice in terms of both determination and understanding. The Hundred Beasts Thunder Dragon that Li Yuan first learned was created by him..."
“Is this because of poor talent?”
Dong Ershisan’s face twitched.
The Origin Divine Dynasty divided talents into seven levels, from ordinary people, dragons and phoenixes, to peerless, celestial stars, gods and demons, and this old guy could only reach the second and a half level at best.
Not to mention compared with Li Yuan, even compared with Wan Zhuliu, he is far inferior.
If one portion of Heavenly Light Divine Water can make up for Wan Zhuliu's deficit and refine his talents at the same time, then this old man would have to use at least four or even five portions to achieve the same effect...
"Since Han Chuijun entered the Eight Directions Temple, he has spent most of his time in the Dao Soldier Tower, except for eating, drinking and sleeping. His determination is truly unmatched by ordinary people.
If his talent is improved and you personally train him, then even if he cannot become the master of the East Temple, he can at least be a walking official, right?"
The strange bird with a human head paused for a moment: "Master Gu, Li is a nostalgic person, and Han Chuijun is his first true master..."
"Um……"
Dong Ershisan frowned. He had never done such a thing as flattering others to make friends with them since his death.
He wanted to refuse outright, but when he recalled the frightening aura of Li Yuan, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Seeing that he hesitated but did not refuse, the human-headed monster bird knew that he was just too embarrassed to admit it.
Immediately, he flapped his wings, quacked and disappeared over the top of the mountain:
"Master Gu, I'll go and make the arrangements right away, just wait and see!"
……
"call!"
"Suck!"
Outside the Taoist Soldier Tower, Han Chuijun, who had failed again in his attempt to break into the tower, was sitting cross-legged and breathing. Although he would not suffer any substantial injuries inside the Taoist Soldier Tower, the mental damage was great.
While breathing, Han Chuijun was multitasking, reviewing the gains and losses of the previous battle, and also thinking about the scene he had seen in the giant mirror as high as the Bafang Mountain.
"Little Li should be fine, and may get great benefits..."
As Han Chuijun was thinking, he suddenly noticed something strange. He opened his eyes alertly and saw a strange bird with a human head falling from the sky and landing on the stone tablet in front of him.
"I am the guardian of the Daobing Tower."
The strange bird with a human head introduced itself.
"Meet the town guard."
Han Chuijun stood up and saluted.
He had been in this military tower for three years and had fought in countless battles, but had never seen this guard before. When he suddenly arrived, he became alert.
The strange bird with a human head coughed lightly and imitated Dong Ershisan's manners and said:
"I, the town guard, have noticed that you are quite fond of the art of killing, but I don't know how to do it, so I came to teach you."
Han Chuijun became more alert, but he was always bold, so he immediately bowed and thanked him:
"Thank you for the guard."
"I have a scroll of Kunpeng's true form map, which is a top-notch magic method. If you practice it to perfection, you can refine Kunpeng's magic power. I also have the divine object Three Lights Divine Water, which can cleanse your bones and improve your potential, making up for the losses you suffered in the past battles with others..."
The human-headed bird forced a smile:
"Are you willing to accept the guidance of this town guard?"
"Um?!"
Han Chuijun was not happy about the sudden pie falling from the sky, but was shocked. He was an old hand in the world, and the more benefits he saw, the more vigilant he became.
"I'm afraid it's because of Li. What good fortune did that kid have? The town guard even came out to offer benefits..."
Han Chuijun was alert in his heart, but he had to admit that what the strange bird mentioned was very attractive to him.
During the three years of fighting in the Daobing Tower, he felt his own deficiencies more and more. Lack of talent was one aspect, and hidden injuries from past fights were another.
If I could make up for it...
"Are you willing?"
The human-headed bird asked again.
"This...thank you for guarding it."
Han Chuijun bowed slightly, but decided to take the benefit first.
And if this strange bird wants to use itself to threaten Li Yuan, then it should really find out who the 'Ghost-faced Shura' Han Chuijun is.
……
……
"call!"
"Suck!"
In a side hall of the imperial city, Li Yuan slowly pushed the Dragon and Tiger Pillar to digest the last bit of the medicinal power.
His movements were extremely slow, and it seemed as if a mountain was hanging between his fists and feet. However, unlike his slow movement, the sound of blood rushing through his body was like raging waves, and the sound of "rushing" permeated his body.
hum~
Li Yuan was also looking inward. A light golden glow spread throughout his limbs and bones, even the smallest details were tinged with a faint golden color.
His spirit resided in Niwan, looking down from high above. The 365 acupoints on his body were also shining with golden light. Even his true qi, which was several times more powerful than before his retreat, was also coated with a layer of gold.
"The unity of essence, energy and spirit, the true form diagram, and the Divine Forbidden Law of Heaven and Earth. Of the three elements needed to refine mana, the only thing I lack is the Divine Forbidden Law of Heaven and Earth..."
Feeling the vast and vigorous vitality within his body, like the ocean, Li Yuan felt a faint sense of satisfaction in his heart.
It was only at this point that he had almost digested the benefits of all the things entering his blood.
Even judging from his current state, his body is so perfect that it is difficult to find any flaws. Compared with ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an "immortal body".
“Although I cannot sense the limit of my life span, it must have been greatly improved!”
With full of joy, Li Yuan slowly stopped. He had not slept for twenty-six days and nights, but his spirit was still extremely vigorous.
"Six Dragon Tiger Pills, six Azure Dragon Pills, and hundreds of other kinds of elixirs... If this happens again, I can't afford it."
After a slight sigh, Li Yuan pushed the door open and walked out. He was ready to go to Daluotian.
But before leaving, he still had some things to do. After all, he might not be able to come back for a long time.
……
After Li Yuan came out of seclusion, he was greeted with a grand banquet.
Pang Wenlong directly booked the largest "Food King Pavilion" in Shendu City, which had twelve floors and more than three hundred tables. The heads and disciples of the five major Taoist sects, Xinyi Sect, and other sects were all present.
During the more than twenty days of his seclusion, the elders and disciples stationed at the mountain gates all heard the news and came. The divine light that day shook the earth and all the provinces in the world saw it.
Before the banquet, Pang Wenlong went out and went in and out of the Bafang Temple many times with the Bafang Order, and brought several people in the temple including Han Chuijun.
At the banquet, everyone got rid of their previous depression and the atmosphere became lively. Various drinks were served. Even with Li Yuan's current physical condition, he couldn't help feeling a little tipsy after drinking several large jars of wine.
But he accepted all the toasts and was greeted with applause. Finally, he took the initiative to propose drinks and went around the twelve floors, getting at least five hundred people drunk.
A big banquet, from noon to the next morning.
After most people left, Pang Wenlong walked into the room carrying a pot of tea. Except for the Zen Master Dading who never drank, everyone in the room seemed a little drunk.
It was Li Yuan who took the initiative to get rid of the smell of alcohol, and then everyone followed suit.
"When the twenty-third master came here before, did he say 'the disaster of the sun'?"
After the smell of alcohol dissipated, Nie Xianshan was the most impatient and started to ask.
"He probably wanted to mention it, but I didn't ask."
Li Yuan told the truth. When Dong Ershisan first came, he had more or less guessed his purpose, but after hesitating, he still did not take the initiative to ask.
If the disaster of the sun could be easily solved, Dong Twenty-three would not have taken the initiative to come to him to discuss it. Li Yuan felt terrified when he thought about the fact that Dong Twenty-three, who was at the sixteenth level in his prime, would come to him in person to ask for help, and he did not dare to respond to his words.
"This……"
Nie Xianshan frowned and was about to speak when he felt Pang Wenlong's gaze and immediately swallowed what he was about to say.
Pang Wenlong picked up the teacup and said calmly, "After Li Yuan's sacrifice was successful, he went to Chi Lian for a divination. The disaster of the sun and sky will last for nearly a hundred years, so there is no need to rush."
"good."
Long Yingchan nodded in agreement: "The one who could make the twenty-third master come to visit in person must not be Li Yuan, but the 'Daluotian' that he has not yet joined!"
Unlike Pang Wenlong, Long Yingchan patiently explained to everyone:
"You are all elders of a sect. If a disciple gets into trouble before he even enters the sect, not to mention being rejected, it probably won't leave a good impression on you."
What he said was very straightforward. The other grand masters in the room looked at each other and said nothing.
They are also veterans with many years of experience, so they naturally understand this truth. But even if they know it, with the disaster ahead, who can remain calm?
"Please rest assured, everyone. I will definitely find a way to break the calamity when I go to Daluo Heaven."
Li Yuan left a promise, filled Long Xixiang's cup of tea, and then bowed and said goodbye.
Outside the Food King Pavilion, Han Chuijun was also a little tipsy, but he did not use his internal energy to dispel the intoxication. Instead, he waved to Li Yuan with a hint of intoxication:
"What a coincidence. Let's go and try some breakfast in the capital city."
"okay."
Li Yuan followed, he preferred eating to drinking.
However, he has been taken care of by various families in the past few years and has also received the ancestral Tianyun Xuanbing. If he is unwilling to even have a drink with them, it would be a bit inhumane.
Han Chuijun was also quite familiar with the Shendu City, as he had obviously visited there many times in the past. He found a small shop with ease and ordered a large table full of breakfast.
Looking at the busy shop, I feel quite emotional:
"The last time I came here for breakfast was more than 70 years ago. Well, the taste hasn't changed much. Come on, eat."
"It's really good."
Li Yuan had been in seclusion for nearly a month and only drank a bellyful of wine yesterday. When he picked up a hot meat bun, his appetite immediately grew. He ate more than ten of them and still felt unsatisfied.
With his current physical condition, if he had enough pills, he could go without food or water for many days, but there was also a special kind of satisfaction in eating hot food.
"More than 20 days ago, the guard of the tower found me..."
During the meal, Han Chuijun spoke in secret, telling him how the human-headed monster bird had found him, sent him the complete map of Kunpeng's true form, and promised him the Three Lights Divine Water.
"Cleanse your bones, the Three Lights Divine Water."
Li Yuan was a little dazed. No wonder Wan Zhuliu caught the eye of Dong Ershisan after his blood was washed with incense. With the talent below the Heavenly Star level, it was possible for someone to create him.
"That's a good thing."
Li Yuan was naturally happy to see this happen, and at the same time gave Lao Han a copy of the information he knew about magic power, spiritual treasures, and Tianshiyuan.
The master and his apprentice ate breakfast all the way. Before they parted, Han Chuijun asked:
"When are you ready to leave?"
"I'll go back to see my two little nephews and nieces and then leave."
Li Yuan bowed and said goodbye to Han Chuijun.
call!
He tapped his feet lightly, and his body moved as fast as lightning. In a flash, he was already a hundred feet high in the sky. Then, an eagle's cry was heard.
Li Yuan flew away on an eagle.
Han Chuijun watched the eagle fly away, feeling a little emotional.
The young man from a small county whom I took in casually in the past had risen up against the wind and entered the abyss of the underworld in less than twenty years.
"Nothing in the world could be more bizarre than this!"
Han Chuijun stroked his long beard, imagining the scene of the next meeting. After a long while, he chuckled:
"At least, we have to climb up to the eighty-first floor of the Taoist Soldier Tower, right?"
……
Eagle flying across.
In the Divine Capital City, many people noticed something and watched them leave. A few sighed and gritted their teeth, preparing to catch up, but as soon as they left the city, they were greeted by the Great Sun and Crimson Sun Palm.
"Pang Wenlong!"
Huang Longzi was as fast as a ghost and in a flash he was already dozens of miles away. He had seen the power of the Great Sun and Red Sun Palm with his own eyes, so naturally he did not dare to take it head-on.
But Pang Wenlong was even faster, like a meteor through the sky, raising his hand and striking again. When this palm fell, Huang Longzi had no time to dodge, and could only turn the big black umbrella to block it:
"I have no ill intentions. I just want to see Fellow Daoist Li. Why are you so aggressive?"
"so what?"
Pang Wenlong sneered and struck Huang Longzi with his palm, pounding him and the big black umbrella into the ground at least twenty feet.
"And you!"
Huang Longzi was knocked down with one palm strike. Pang Wenlong then turned around and exhaled his true energy. In a moment, his powerful palm force had reached a place hundreds of miles away.
"?!"
The pupils of the old turtle who had just escaped from the Divine Capital City shrank violently, and he shrank back into his shell with a strange cry.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the turtle shell cracked, and the old turtle screamed and coughed up blood.
In the past, he had used the shell of the spirit turtle to block the joint attack of Long Yingchan and others, and was even able to rebound it. But at this moment, even with the power of the spirit turtle, his shell could not withstand Pang Wenlong's violent Big Sun Red Palm.
Can only beg for mercy:
"I have absolutely no ill will towards Li Yuan, you..."
"Stay!"
Before Pang Wenlong's voice came out, he had already swept across a hundred miles and fell down. He raised his hand and grabbed the back of Turtle Immortal's neck, then turned back into the air and blocked the embarrassed Huang Longzi right in front of him.
"It is so difficult to fight against a higher level!"
Seeing this, Huang Longzi's face became even uglier.
In the past, he had seen a senior brother who was extremely talented. After being promoted to the Unity state for only a few days, he had already killed several powerful men from the Divine Palace. However, he himself could not even defeat the Divine Palace in this tiny place.
Finally, he sighed and surrendered.
……
……
"Wow~"
The goshawk flapped its wings and cried loudly, soaring among the sea of clouds.
Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the eagle's back, with light golden inner energy flowing like water, covering himself and the eagle. No matter how strong the wind was, it could not blow away even a corner of it.
The hawk's body felt lighter, it became more excited, and its speed increased a little.
“Although I haven’t cultivated my magic power, once Kunpeng’s true form is formed, my true energy is becoming more and more agile. Although it’s not as powerful and strong as Lao Pang’s, it’s not much less pure.”
Li Yuan sits in meditation and practices, not wasting a single moment of his time.
Kunpeng's true form was much more mysterious than he had initially expected. He had noticed it when he took off into the air just now. He was so light at this moment that the strong wind seemed to pass directly through his body. Not only did it not cause any resistance, it even added some help.
There is no need to inhale or exhale true Qi, but to release the true Qi, he can stand in the air by himself.
"Let's not talk about escaping underground, but flying into the sky is totally possible!"
Li Yuan sensed it for a moment, then closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation, continuing to nourish his Niwan and move his true energy. The goshawk under him flapped its wings even faster, leaving a lasting mark in the sea of clouds.
This goshawk is a spiritual bird domesticated in Longhu Mountain. After following Li Yuan and taking many spiritual pills, it has a strong physique, full wings, and with the shield of true qi, it can fly very fast.
In less than half a day, they had already traveled thousands of miles. Only then did their strength begin to wane.
"then."
Li Yuan flicked out a magic pill with his finger. The goshawk caught it with a long cry, swallowed it, and glided steadily for a thousand miles before flapping its wings and flying away.
In just two days, he reached the Dinglong Mountains.
"The cat is really lost..."
Above the Dinglong Mountains, the goshawk that had been circling in the mountains for three days seemed quite unhappy. Li Yuan looked down at the mountains and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
He really loved his kitten, and although he had looked for it many times before, he couldn't help but come back to look for it again before leaving.
Unfortunately, three days later, all the birds and animals on the mountain were frightened by him and ran away in panic, and there was no sign of the kitten.
"That's all."
After a long time, Li Yuan sighed, and the goshawk flapped its wings and soared into the sky as if it had been pardoned. It was really impatient to wander around in the mountains, and now it had no interest in those birds and beasts.
"Whoo~"
In a forest somewhere outside the Dinglong Mountains, Qin Shixian watched the goshawk disappear into the sea of clouds. He sighed inexplicably and then disappeared on the spot.
……
……
"Gao Liu County..."
Li Yuan walked slowly through the streets and alleys, with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filling his ears.
There weren't many good things to buy and sell in Gaoliu County, but he walked around with great interest. Many years ago, when he was an apprentice in a blacksmith shop, he always walked hurriedly on the street and never had the mood to stroll around.
After not seeing each other for many years, Gaoliu County hasn't changed much, and I don't even know any familiar faces anymore.
County Magistrate Liu, who used to be on good terms with him, and several commanders of the city guards had been promoted ten years earlier, so that while strolling around for a while, Li Yuan didn't run into a single acquaintance.
"I practiced too hard back then."
Li Yuan was no longer in the mood to stroll around, so he bought some fine wine and meat and went to the weapon forging shop.
Today, the Weapon Forging Shop is the largest weapons shop in the nine nearby counties. The original site has been expanded many times and now occupies a considerable area.
"Weapon forging shop."
Listening to the sound of blacksmithing coming from the shop, Li Yuan suddenly felt itchy. As an experienced blacksmith, he couldn't stand the smell of iron and fire, so he walked to the forge unconsciously.
His martial arts had been ingrained into his bones, and every move he made had its own rhythm, so much so that even when he walked into the forging room, no one noticed anything unusual.
"Iron is dead, are you dead too?!"
"Blacksmithing, forging is the best!"
"The power comes from the ground..."
……
As soon as I entered the forging room, a familiar loud voice came out.
After not seeing each other for many years, Zhang Ben is now very old, but thanks to the elixir that Li Yuan had sent him before, his muscles and bones are still strong.
He scolded and pointed out a lot, picked up the gourd and took a sip of ice water, and suddenly spit it out:
"Li, Li boy?!"
"Master, I came to see you."
Li Yuan shook the wine and meat he was holding: "Want a couple of bites?"
"Stinky boy!"
Zhang Ben threw down the gourd, slapped the table and introduced it to the blacksmiths:
"He is Li Yuan, the best blacksmith this old man has ever taught in his life, no, a master blacksmith!"
