After Zhang Yan had broken through to the next realm, he carefully comprehended for a while before slowly suppressing his aura. The raging billows around him also gradually retracted. Sensing that someone had arrived outside the cave, he said in a clear voice, "Junior Brothers, come in. (Baidu) "
Chu Mu Ran, Wen Liang, and Zhao Ge entered the cave. Chu Mu Ran looked at Zhang Yan and said respectfully, "We are here to congratulate Immortal Zhang Yan's great progress in cultivation." Then, he bowed. Wen and Zhao Ge also bowed together.
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded, "Junior apprentice-brothers, please rise."
After the three of them stood up, Wen Liang suddenly sighed, "I wonder when we three will be able to cultivate to the same level as Senior Apprentice-Brother."
Zhang Yan laughed brightly, "The Great Way is boundless and immortality is hard to come by. I am just a step ahead of everyone else."
Zhao Ge was usually diligent in his cultivation. Seeing that Zhang Yan was in a good mood, he took the opportunity to ask a few questions about his cultivation.
Zhang Yan had just entered the second stage of Yuanying so he had time to spare. Whenever Zhao Ge asked a question, he would answer it patiently.
Chu Mu Ran and Wen Liang listened to the questions and answers from the side. They felt that they had learned a lot and would occasionally add a sentence. Unknowingly, half a day had passed.
At this moment, Jing You said, "Master, Sect Leader Bai of Mount E heard that Sect Leader has made great progress in cultivation and specially sent a congratulatory gift."
"Humph," Wen Liang snorted and said, "In the past, Mount E Pai always used all sorts of excuses to get things done, but today they came very quickly."
Zhang Yan said, "Bring it in."
Jing You walked into the cave and went straight to Zhang Yan. He held up the gift with both hands and said, "Master, the gift list is here."
Zhang Yan glanced at him. Jing You had once served under He Jinghuan in the past, so he was very perceptive. If it wasn't for the fact that there was something special about this item, he probably wouldn't have specially given it to him. Thus, he took a look at it and couldn't help but chuckle. He then passed the list back to Chu Mu Ran and said, "My three Junior Brothers, take a look as well."
Chu Muran was the first to receive it. After reading it, he chuckled and passed it to Wen Liang. The latter cast a sidelong glance and snorted coldly. "At least they know how to appreciate favors."
Zhao Ge took the list and skimmed it several times. "Has Mount E Pai paid the tribute they owed?" he asked in astonishment.
Wen Liang scoffed coldly, "Isn't it because he saw Senior Brother's great improvement in his cultivation and felt that it would be difficult for him to contend against you? That's why they rushed over to curry favor with him. If it were up to me, I'd return the gift list. When I need it, I'll go get it myself. There's no need for them to deliver it. "
Chu Mulan frowned and said, "Shidi, Mount E is under the protection of Zhongtai, how can we be reckless?"
Wen Liang disdainfully said, "Now that Mount E Pai does not have Yong Daoren to hold the fort, it is impossible for Mount E Pai to be overseen. The Zhongtai Sect was no longer the same as it was in the past. Although the Zhongtai Sect was its superior sect, it could barely take care of itself now, so how could it stand up for them? Senior Brother, you are too cautious. With Sect Leader Shixiong here, what are you afraid of? "
Chu Mu Ran repeatedly shook his head, disagreeing with what he said.
Zhao Ge then said in a deep voice, "Wen Shixiong, after Master Yong passed away, Bai Jiying took over the position of Sect Leader. Although he was one generation lower than us, his temperament was steady and his aptitude was not bad. His natural endowments and natural endowments are not bad. The cultivation method of the Sect Leader of the E-Shan Pai was passed on to him by Zhongtai. If nothing unexpected happens, it will not be difficult for him to reach Yuanying in the future. Since he has admitted defeat, why should I reject him? "
Zhang Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Zhao Shidi is right. Mount Shen Wu is not our sect's territory. There's still a long way to go. Since Mount E has expressed goodwill, there's no need to reject it. Wen Shixiong, I know Mount E has made you suffer a lot that day, but Yong Fu has passed away and the rest are all juniors. There's no need for you to be angry with them. If you really don't like them, just ignore them in the future."
Wen Liang cupped his hands and said, "I will listen to Sect Leader Shixiong. Whatever you say."
Zhang Yan pointed at Chu Mu Ran and said, "Chu Shidi, go to Mount E on my behalf and take a bucket of Jinyao Jade Beads as a gift to calm them down."
A bucket of Jinyao Jade Beads was only worth a thousand spiritual shells. It was incomparable to Mount E's offerings. However, Zhang Yan's action showed that he had no intention of pursuing the matter.
Chu Mu Ran bowed and said, "I will arrange it now."
Seeing him turn around and leave the cave, Wen and Zhao Shidi did not stay any longer and left.
After the three of them left, Zhang Yan stood up and walked out of the cave. He went to the edge of the cliff and looked at the flowing river below. He began to think about the next step of his cultivation.
To achieve the highest level of Yuanzhen Dharmakaya, from this moment on, he could not refine any impurities into his body.
The White Moon Essence that Zhou Chongju gave him was only enough for a year. After a few more days, when his cultivation had stabilized, he would start to refine this item.
Among the three rare ingredients, he had obtained quite a lot of Ghost Sunflower and Crouching Earth Lotus. However, he was still lacking a lot of Snake Ring Jewels. Although Zhang Boyan brought some back last time, it was just a drop in the bucket.
His Dan had reached the first grade and he did not know how much pure spiritual essence he would need to cultivate to the third level of Yuanying. Therefore, the more he prepared, the better.
He thought to himself, "Next, other than cultivating, I will have to spend most of my energy on searching for this item."
Thinking about this, he said to Jing You who was beside him, "Go and call Song Chuyuan."
Song Chuyuan knew that his family background could not be seen in public. Therefore, after he entered the Sect of Hanyuan, he did not go out except to cultivate. However, he did not dare to refine the corpse demon. He only dared to pick some powerful Dao techniques recorded in the books. When he heard that Zhang Yan had summoned him, he did not dare to hesitate. He quickly put down what he was doing and rushed to meet him.
When he reached the peak, he paid his respects. He knew that this sect master's cultivation had improved greatly. He saw that his eyes were as bright as the stars, the spiritual energy around his body was like a tide, and the three clouds above his head shrouded the entire cave. He could not help but be shocked.
He could roughly guess why Zhang Yan was looking for him. Without waiting for him to ask, he took the initiative and said, "Zhenren, ever since I arrived here, I have already checked the sect's storage."
He took out a jade scroll from his sleeve and raised it above his head, "I have recorded everything here."
Zhang Yan's body did not move. With just a thought, he activated his mana and pulled the jade scroll over. The spiritual opportunity circulated inside and immediately understood what was going on. He then put it down and said, "Fellow Song, you've been cultivating in my sect for seven years. I'm sure you know what I'm looking for."
Song Chuyuan hurriedly bowed and said, "I have heard about it. After knowing about this, I have been paying attention. The items that Zhenren needs are in our sect's storage. There is quite a lot of ghost sunflower and Crouching Earth Lotus. I am willing to give them all to you. Only the Snake Ring Jewel …"
He smiled bitterly, "After all, this item needs to be condensed from two medicines. Even if it is refined, it will be used. However, I know one thing. Two hundred years ago, Zhongtai Sect came to our sect to ask for this item in order to refine a magic weapon. However, for some reason, it did not seem to be refined successfully. I believe that there should be quite a lot left. Zhenren, you can go there and ask about it."
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered. Song Chuyuan's words were not false. The sixth prince of Chu was not a disciple of the evil sect. The Snake Ring Jewel was useless to him. However, he could take it out so easily. It was obvious that he did not go to other places to collect it. From the meaning of the letter, there should be quite a lot left in his hands.
He pondered for a while, then said, "Fellow Daoist Song was originally a disciple of the Corpse Clamor Sect. Do you know where I can find this item?"
He was just asking casually, but Song Chuyuan had clearly thought about this matter seriously. He cupped his hands and said, "Zhenren, there is an immortal city in the South Vast Sea. Although it is under the rule of Ku Xin Sect, one of the five great sects, it was actually set up by the people of my evil sect. Although the Snake Ring Jewel is rare, it should still be there. I am willing to share Zhenren's worries and go there to purchase it."
Zhang Yan smiled and glanced at him. Song Chuyuan hurriedly lowered his head.
He could see that this cultivator of the evil sect had his own calculations. He was originally planning to go to that immortal city. However, he did not expose him. He only asked, "How long will Fellow Daoist Song take to get there?"
When Song Chuyuan heard that Zhang Yan did not seem to have any objections, he was delighted. He had the sect's treasury in his hands. As long as he went to that immortal city, he would be able to exchange for a lot of good things.
It was truly inconvenient to cultivate in Cold Abyss Sect. As long as he went to the outside world, he would be able to refine a lot of powerful Corpse Devils. At the time of the Gathering of Dragon Pillars, his chances of winning would increase by a lot. He pretended to ponder and then said, "If everything goes smoothly, one year will be enough."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and then said with a smile, "When Fellow Daoist Song goes, I believe you will also want to see your old friends. There is no harm in coming back a little later."
Song Chuyuan also knew that he had seen through his thoughts. He hurriedly bowed and said embarrassedly, "I will definitely not disappoint Zhenren."
Zhang Yan nodded and said no more. Jing You picked up the gong and lightly knocked it. Song Chuyuan was also tactful. After bowing deeply, he retreated down the mountain.
Zhang Yan stood on the cliff for a while before returning to his cave abode to meditate.
In the next few months, there was nothing important to do in Cold Abyss Sect. Other than refining Bai Yueying Shi every day, he would meditate and cultivate. Occasionally, he would come out to guide the disciples.
Suddenly one day, when Zhang Yan was instructing two disciples, Jing You excitedly came to report, saying, "Master, Big Wang Niangzi and Little Wang Niangzi have returned to the mountain, they are respectfully waiting outside the door."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It can be considered that it is time for them to return. Call them in."
The Wang sisters came in from outside the door. Both of them were wearing plain dresses and looked like two white lotuses. When they saw Zhang Yan, they knelt down and kowtowed, saying in unison, "Greetings, Master."
Zhang Yan carefully looked at the two of them. As expected, after going out to train, their temperament and spirit were very different from before.
Wang Caiwei was originally introverted. Looking at her now, her manner and mannerisms were more dignified. She faintly resembled Liu Yanyi. On the other hand, Wang Caiting's eyes were shining and she had a smile on her face. However, much of her impetuousness had been washed away and she was more reserved.
The Wang sisters had been out traveling for more than twenty years. They had traveled all over Dong Sheng Continent. Not only had they greatly broadened their horizons, they had also sharpened their Dao hearts. Now, their cultivation was extremely deep.
Using the secret method passed down by Zhang Yan, Wang Caiwei had burned twenty-eight acupoints. Wang Caiting, after all, had better aptitude, so she could burn thirty acupoints. However, it was difficult for her to progress any further. Thinking that their collection of elixirs was almost complete, they returned to the mountain together.
Seeing that their cultivation had greatly improved and had not fallen behind, Zhang Yan also nodded in satisfaction and said, "Both of you, rise."
The two girls acknowledged and stood up. At this moment, Wang Caiting pursed her lips and smiled. She used her elbow to touch Wang Caiwei and said, "Sister, it is better for you to speak about that matter."
