After the short and fat Taoist shouted, he put the red-haired youth in his hand into the cloth bag on his waist and flew away.
When Zhang Yan's sword flew away, the sharp sword ray should not have left a trace of sound. However, he deliberately broke the house with laughter, wanting to make some news and attract the attention of the elders in the Beichen Sect. However, at this time, the Taoist's voice was like thunder, but there was no one from the Beichen Sect coming out. He couldn't help but be surprised.
At this moment, a calm voice sounded in his ear, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I am Yan Zhengting. Thank you for warning me. I have my own plans for this matter, let him go."
Zhang Yan was slightly startled. It was obvious that this Elder Yan had already known about this matter, but he had watched as his son and grandson were taken away. Zhang Yan did not know what he was planning. However, since he was not in a hurry, there was no need for Zhang Yan to meddle in other people's business. Thus, he stopped his cloud and did not move forward.
The voice said again, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you have time to come to my hut for a chat?"
Zhang Yan looked up and saw a white wave flying through the air, forming a clear rainbow bridge under his feet.
He could clearly see that this was a manifestation of the baleful aura within the Core. He had seen Elder Xun's overflowing Core Qi before, but this Elder Yan's baleful aura was ordinary, without the slightest hint of fiery aura. It was obvious that his cultivation level was higher.
He stretched out his foot, and the rainbow bridge carried him forward. After going around a mountain, it didn't take long for them to descend in a thatched hut. A thin old man with long eyebrows and a sage-like demeanor was sitting cross-legged there, and he was looking over with a smile on his face. Beside him stood two Daoist children with fair skin, one holding a ruyi scepter, and the other holding a sword.
Zhang Yan took two steps forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Elder Yan, I am Zhang Yan. Greetings, Senior. "
Elder Yan smiled kindly and reached out to the praying mat under his feet, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, please sit." With a wave of his hand, a set of jade tea set appeared out of nowhere and was placed on the short table between the two of them. The fragrance of the tea leaves in the cup was refreshing.
After Zhang Yan sat down, Elder Yan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you wondering why I didn't chase after them? To tell you the truth, this short Daoist is my brother-in-law. "
Zhang Yan was astonished. He had thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be this.
Elder Yan sighed lightly and said, "It's my fault for being a womanizer when I was young. My wife was a demon immortal from overseas and is now one of the eighteen demon kings of the Eastern Sea. Now that she has captured my son, there's a ninety percent chance that she's trying to force me to live overseas. How could the Grand Elder of the Northstar Sect give up his family business and go overseas? Therefore, I will let my granduncle do as he pleases today. The ones who were kidnapped are my wife's children and grandchildren, so I definitely won't make things difficult for them. It's just that I feel guilty for disturbing Fellow Daoist. "
Zhang Yan laughed inwardly, thinking that this Elder Yan and his son who married a female demon were indeed father and son. Even their hobbies were the same.
Elder Yan squinted his eyes and said, "My son's wife was also a match made by my demonic wife. She thought I didn't know, but this time, she urged my red-haired grandson to cause trouble at my birthday banquet. What a joke, fellow Daoist. It's just that I've implicated fellow Daoists from Lin Qing Sect and Bi Yu Pavilion. Although my wicked wife won't make things difficult for them, it's still not good for them to be stranded outside. However, after this old man's birthday banquet, I will go into seclusion to practice a mysterious technique. The two elders in the sect will definitely not let me go. I need another Daoist to go to the Eastern Sea and bring them back. "
At this point, he looked at Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Elder Yan mentioned this to me, could it be that you want me to come forward?"
Elder Yan stroked his beard and smiled, "Fellow Daoist is smart. This old man was thinking the same thing."
Zhang Yan's eyes twinkled. He could tell that this Elder Yan wasn't simple at first sight. Now that he was saying this, he definitely had a plan. Since he could promise, there was no harm in listening to what he had to say. Therefore, he didn't reject it immediately and just smiled.
A look of praise appeared in Elder Yan's eyes and he said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I see that you're only at the first level of the Mystic Light Realm right now, but you're going out to travel. It must be to find that pill. Maybe in the future, Fellow Daoist can fight for one of the top ten disciples of the Qincang School. However, do you know that the families in the Qincang School view you as their enemy? They've chosen a few disciples to train and compete with you. This old man knows that there's a member of the Xiao Family called Xiao Han who is at the third level of the Mystic Light Realm. He's also going out to find medicine like you."
Zhang Yan's mind spun. Most of the disciples of the families were forming their pills at home, but this Xiao Han was going out to find medicine. This meant that the medicine he was looking for was extremely rare.
Elder Yan saw that after hearing this news, he didn't seem to be affected at all. He nodded his head in the darkness, and his evaluation of him increased a bit. He continued, "My Yan Clan and the Xiao Clan are old friends. A few days ago, Xiao Han came looking for me and asked me about the whereabouts of the 'Four Marquises of the Jia Zi.' I told him."
Among the three medicines in the Transforming Dan, one of them was called the "Four Marquis Water". However, the Four Marquis Water was also divided into good and bad. Zhang Yan knew that Xiao Han had specially come to Elder Yan's place to inquire about the whereabouts of the "Four Marquis Water". It must be because this water was extremely rare and rare, and ordinary Four Marquis Water could not compare.
Elder Yan stroked his beard and slowly said, "This Xiao Han will go to the East Sea at the end of next year. There is a place there where this water will fall from the sky. This water only appears once every sixty years, and within two hours, there are only a few dozen drops. It is the best of the best of the Four Marquises Water. In the past, I received directions from my wicked wife and used this water to form my pill."
At this point, he paused, looked at Zhang Yan, and said, "If Daoist Zhang goes on this trip for me, I will tell you about this place. How about it?"
Zhang Yan didn't say anything. If one wanted to form a golden pill, the three external medicines would depend on the earth, the three internal medicines would depend on the person, and the three superior medicines would depend on the heavens. As long as one was willing to put in the effort, the three external medicines would always be easy to find. However, for the three internal medicines, one would have to rely on luck. If one didn't have the support of a sect or family, it would be extremely difficult to find them on one's own. When the founder of the Qincang School set the rule of going out to find medicine, it was to take this opportunity to train the disciples' minds.
It was fine if he didn't know about the Four Marquises Water, but now that he knew about it, he couldn't miss it.
However, his mind was clear. This Elder Yan clearly wanted him to save Yan and Song, but in reality, he was beating around the bush with his words. He wanted to give him some benefits so that he would owe him a favor.
Since this was the case, just this Four Marquises Water wasn't enough. Zhang Yan sat there and drank his tea, but he wasn't in a rush to make a promise.
Seeing him like this, Elder Yan's eyebrows moved slightly. He smiled and said, "Daoist Zhang, you can think about it for a few more days. I also have a blessed land behind Wang Yan Peak; it's only a few miles away from here. I can lend it to you to cultivate."
Zhang Yan was very straightforward and nodded his head with a smile. He got up and excused himself. A daoist boy led the way, and the two walked along the mountain path towards the cave.
After he left, a skinny daoist with white hair appeared in the hut and sat down in front of Elder Yan. He frowned and said, "Senior martial brother, he's just a junior at the Mystic Light Realm. Why do you care so much about him?"
Elder Yan looked into the distance and his eyes seemed to pierce through the mountains. He said in a deep voice, "Does junior martial brother know that a dozen or so days ago, the three lake monsters set up the Four Symbol God Slaying Formation on the Eagle Perching Continent and fought against the Qincang School? However, the battle ended with the Qincang School winning. In this battle, it was this Zhang Yan who killed Gui Congyao, causing the Four Symbol Formation to collapse and the three lakes to fall into the hands of the Qincang School."
The crane haired daoist was shocked and exclaimed, "This person could kill Gui Congyao? Is senior martial brother joking? "
Elder Yan said solemnly, "Junior martial brother doesn't know, but this person was able to kill Demon Lord Gui because he had the Northern Dark Heavenly Sword."
The crane haired daoist was even more shocked and said, "Isn't that the sword of the previous sect master of the Qincang School? I heard that even Sect Master Qin didn't surrender to it. "
Elder Yan slowly nodded and said, "With the blessing of this sword, this Zhang Yan is already in an invincible position in the sect, and he is also a true disciple. After breaking the formation with a smile, Sect Leader Qin of the Dark Azure Sect immediately bestowed him with the Bright Nether Heavenly Lake as his dojo. I heard that this person is also on good terms with Qi Yuntian. It can be imagined that when Qi Yuntian becomes the Sect Leader in the future, he will definitely enter the Crossing Truth Hall as an Elder, and I'm afraid he will have great power."
The crane haired daoist didn't say anything, but he seemed to be thinking.
Elder Yan's eyes flashed and said, "Now, of the three lakes, besides the Surging Waves Lake which is occupied by a few big families, the rest has fallen into the hands of the master and disciples of the Qincang School. Sect Master Qin has always been far-sighted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to seize the position of sect master back then. Now that the three lakes are in his hands, I believe it won't be long before he makes his move."
"For tens of thousands of years, except for the Shaoqing, Qincang, and Yuxiao sects, which of the other sects have never changed?"
A glow appeared on Elder Yan's face, and he said with great ambition, "It's not that the founder of the Beichen sect didn't have superior Xuan skills, but all the spiritual lands in the world have been occupied by the big sects. No matter how good his secret techniques are, he can't go to the next level. But now, something is going to happen in the Donghua Continent, and the situation of the Ten Sects and Six Sects will definitely be destroyed. In the next few hundred years, there will be a chance for the Beichen sect to rise!"
The crane haired daoist understood that his junior brother thought highly of Zhang Yan, or rather, he thought highly of the master and disciples of the Qincang School, so he was generous in making friends. If there was a change in the Donghua Continent in the future, he would be able to rely on the big tree that was the Qincang School to rise.
His junior brother's every step seemed casual, but when he thought about it carefully, there was a deep meaning behind it. But when he thought about the possibility of the Beichen sect replacing one of the Ten Sects of the Xuanmen, even after hundreds of years of quiet cultivation, his heart was still in turmoil.
After thinking about it, he said, "But this Zhang Yan is a disciple of a big sect. Not to mention that he might not be able to see through senior brother's intentions, just the Four Marquises Water probably won't be able to move him, right?"
