"These two are Pill Masters of the Yue Cang Sect. Naturally, they can stay in the upper garden." The courier's expression didn't change as he spoke slowly. He had been a guard here for a long time and had seen all kinds of people. Naturally, he wouldn't be frightened by a few words from the other.
"Yue Cang Sect?" The young cultivator's expression changed slightly. Then, he saw that there were only two people in Zhang Yan's group. When he heard the word "Pill Master", his expression relaxed. His tone became tough again and he sneered, "So what if it's the Yue Cang Sect? Don't tell me they don't care about first come, first served? "
He stood in front of Zhang Yan and raised the magic sword in his hand. He said, "We don't have a place to stay yet. How about we have a sword duel? If you lose, you'll give this garden to me. How about it?"
The courier looked on coldly from the side and didn't say anything to stop them.
This person's cultivation was probably in the Opening Meridian Realm and hadn't entered the first tier of the Clear Qi Realm. The magic sword in his hand still had some spiritual light. However, Zhang Yan didn't even look at him. He only ordered the courier to take the token and quickly lead the way.
The courier didn't dare to disobey. He took the token and led the way. Zhang Yan waved his sleeve and also walked out.
"You!"
The young cultivator was angered by the way Zhang Yan looked at him as if he didn't exist. His face flushed red and his whole body trembled. Seeing that Zhang Yan was about to step out of the gate of the courier house, he shouted, "Rise!" The magic sword in his hand flew out of its sheath with a clang and slashed at Zhang Yan's back.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, and he turned his head. He rubbed his lips and blew out a turbid Qi. This turbid Qi was once again mixed with a heavy baleful aura, and it went to meet the flying sword. However, a "chi la" sound was heard, and the flying sword's spiritual energy was almost depleted. The sword fell down, but the turbid Qi's momentum didn't decrease, and it continued to rush forward. The Qi hadn't arrived yet, but the young man's complexion couldn't help but change.
Right at this moment, someone shouted, "Fellow Daoist, please show mercy!"
A flying talisman flew out of nowhere and released a ray of light in the air in an attempt to block this turbid Qi. Who would have thought that the turbid Qi would easily pierce through it with a "pu" sound. That person exclaimed in surprise. A silver ring in the shape of a full moon flew out from his hand and directly collided with the turbid Qi.
This silver ring was brimming with spiritual energy and was dazzling. With a single glance, one could tell that it was a magic treasure. Zhang Yan frowned. He took a deep breath and withdrew the foul air back into his chest. In the blink of an eye, he saw a gorgeous woman standing with a sword in her hand. With a wave of her hand, the silver ring returned to her wrist.
This woman looked flirtatious, but her expression was cold. With one look, one could tell that she was from the Profound Sect. She was probably at the first level of the Bright Qi realm, a genuine human cultivator. However, when she saw Zhang Yan, her expression changed, and she said: "Zhang Yan, it's actually you!"
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "Fellow Daoist, have we met before?"
The woman sneered twice and said: "Of course you don't remember me. Below the Sweeping Cloud Peak, do you remember Senior Brother Shen Jingyue?"
"Hmm?" Zhang Yan's gaze focused, and he looked at her again. He nodded and said: "So it's a fellow Daoist from the Southern Flower Sect. I wonder how Senior Brother Shen is doing?"
The young cultivator was so scared that his face had turned pale. At this moment, he forced himself to speak: "Senior Sister Jiang, you … you know each other?"
The woman said coldly: "Thanks to Fellow Daoist, Senior Brother Shen passed away half a year ago."
Zhang Yan's expression didn't change. That day, when Shen Jingyue forcefully deduced the Eroding Runes, it was obvious that he had exhausted all of his efforts. This ending was not unexpected, but he didn't have any ill feelings towards this person.
The woman took a few steps forward and blocked in front of the young cultivator. She said: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, today my Junior Brother did something wrong and offended you. I will bring him back to punish him. Senior Brother Zhang, can you give me some face?"
Zhang Yan faintly smiled and said: "This is the territory of the Water Nation. I naturally won't make things difficult for you."
The woman let out a sigh of relief, but who knew that Zhang Yan would turn around and say to the courier officer: "I heard that after Country King Ji established the Water Nation, you established rules, etiquette, and laws. As a result, the cultivators of the world didn't view you as a wild race. After seeing you today, I can't help but feel disappointed. When I see you in the future, I will ask you where the laws are and where the rules are."
After saying that, he didn't look at the two of them and turned around to leave with Luo Xiao.
The courier officer and the woman's expressions changed at the same time.
The courier officer walked in front of the woman with a cold expression and said: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, please give me an explanation for this matter."
Zhang Yan's simple words forced the courier officer to step out and deal with this matter. What was originally a very small matter had now become out of hand. The woman instantly became extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do.
The young cultivator also seemed to realize that he had caused some trouble. He said: "Senior Sister, I will take responsibility for my own actions. I …"
The woman stopped him and took a deep breath. She comforted him: "Junior Brother, don't worry. Senior Brother Shen and the Lian family of the Water Nation are old friends. Perhaps this matter isn't as bad as you think. Wait until you see Senior Brother."
She stared at the back of Zhang Yan's departing figure and frowned. She bit her lower lip and thought: "I heard that Zhang Yan wasn't even a lower house disciple before, but from his foul breath, he is clearly at the second tier of the Clear Qi Realm. He is probably not far from the third tier. I thought that with the help of Master Yue Huan, entering the first tier of the Clear Qi Realm within half a year was already extremely fast. I didn't think that this Zhang Yan would be even faster than me. Could it be that he really is a genius? I don't know how long I'll have to wait to avenge Senior Brother Shen. "
Just as Zhang Yan stepped out of the gate of the courier station, he saw a cultivator walk in from outside. The two of them made eye contact and nodded at each other. That person only paused for a moment on Zhang Yan but glanced at Luo Xiao a few more times before passing by.
"What is this person's cultivation?" Zhang Yan asked in a deep voice. He could faintly see that this person's appearance was somewhat similar to Shen Jingyue's. Furthermore, this person's attire was exactly the same as the two Nan Hua Sect disciples from before. He was definitely a disciple of Nan Hua Sect, but he was unable to see through this person's cultivation.
"This person's cultivation is similar to mine, we're both at the second tier." After Luo Xiao used the Shell King True Dew to recover, her cultivation that she hadn't broken through for a long time had increased once again. She was now a cultivator at the second tier of the Profound Light Realm, "Bright Night Like Day". She looked back at that person and asked, "Langjun, is there something wrong with this person?"
Zhang Yan shook his head lightly and thought to himself, Listening to the words of that woman just now, Shen Jingyue is already dead. This person seems to be somewhat related to Shen Jingyue. If we meet again in the future, there might be another dispute. I need to quickly raise my cultivation.
As for that young cultivator, he didn't care about him at all. He just needed to borrow the Water Country to deal with him. As for how to deal with him, he was too lazy to ask.
The Bi Yun Pavilion was located at the east of the Southern Palace. It was an independent island in the center of the lake. There was a pavilion that was half submerged in the lake. At night, the shadows of the trees danced and the moon shone brightly in the sky. The beach was covered in frost and the water reflected in the distance.
After the courier brought Zhang Yan and Luo Xiao here, he gave them a restriction talisman and left.
Zhang Yan took two steps on the island and felt the sound coming from under his feet. He thought, "This place is cold and full of water. It's suitable for me to condense the Serene Yin Heavy Water."
According to the Lan Yun Secret Book, after reaching the second level of Clear Qi, one could condense the Serene Yin Heavy Water with sixteen mouthfuls of Clear Qi.
One drop of the Serene Yin Heavy Water had the power of a thousand catties and was difficult to block. If it was ten drops, there would be few opponents among the same generation. If it was a hundred drops, a thousand soldiers would retreat. If it was a thousand drops, it could reverse the flow of waterfalls and change the course of rivers.
However, there was a shortcoming in practicing this method. It required sixteen mouthfuls of Clear Qi to stay in one's chest at all times. Every day, one had to absorb the Serene Yin Qi from the depths of the cold water. After one hundred and eight days, one could condense one drop. Moreover, one could not use it against an enemy when refining it. Otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted.
Moreover, after the sixteen mouthfuls of Clear Qi were condensed into the Serene Yin Heavy Water, the lost Clear Qi would need to be cultivated again. In this way, the time needed to break through to the third level of Clear Qi would be delayed.
In fact, the Lan Yun Secret Book walked the Dao of Dharma. It paid particular attention to the transformation and condensation of Spiritual Qi. Naturally, it did not pay special attention to the speed of cultivation.
However, if it walked the Dao of Qi, such as the Taibai Golden Book, it would always focus on honing Xuan Qi. Other than that, there was nothing else.
However, in Zhang Yan's mind, even though he had a lot of magic treasures, he would never complain about having more methods to fight against an enemy.
There was still nine months until the Elixir Gathering. If he could break through to the third level of Clear Qi in half a year, he would have eighty-one mouthfuls of Spiritual Qi in his body. When he practiced the Serene Yin Heavy Water, he would have less to worry about.
After making up his mind, Zhang Yan looked at Luo Xiao and said, "In these three months, I will be cultivating in seclusion. Unless King Ji summons me, I will not see any visitors."
Luo Xiao nodded and said, "Langjun, don't worry. I will be waiting outside. Don't worry and cultivate."
Zhang Yan walked into the Water Pavilion and waved his talisman. The restriction of the Bi Yun Pavilion was opened and the formation was activated. Without the owner's permission, even a Core Formation cultivator would not be able to enter.
Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to cultivate. Instead, he took out the three "Longevity Pills" from his sleeve. After looking at them for a moment, he threw one of them into his mouth. As soon as it entered his abdomen, it was enveloped by Spiritual Qi, preventing the poison from acting up. Then, he silently circulated his Xuan Qi to refine it. Afterwards, he stored the accumulated Dan Qi into the opened Qi opening in his chest.
After he finished refining the first pill, he swallowed the second pill into his stomach and repeated the same trick.
After he had refined the two Yin Yang Pill Poisons, he took out a flying sword that was filled with Spiritual Qi from his Qiankun Sleeve. He looked at it carefully, opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of murky Qi on it. With a sizzling sound, as if a bucket of dye had been poured into clear water, the Spiritual Qi on the flying sword was quickly stained. In an instant, it became an ordinary sword. Even the body of the sword was corroded and mottled marks could be seen.
Zhang Yan nodded in satisfaction. His idea was indeed feasible.
Using the condensed murky Qi to wrap around the Heavy Fiend Qi could indeed stain the flying sword, but the effect seemed to be somewhat insufficient.
For example, when he was fighting against Wu Zhen, even if the opponent's flying sword was slightly stained by the Heavy Fiend Qi, he could still control the flying sword to injure him. However, if the Yin Yang Poison was mixed in, then the effect would obviously increase by a few levels.
And now, as long as the opponent had not condensed the Profound Light Seed and the flying sword came over, he would spit out a mouthful of air. That would destroy the spirit and contaminate the Qi. Even if he were to face such a method, he would not be able to block it even without his talisman.
