PS: This is the last day of the IV drip. If it's convenient tomorrow, try to update two times.
After Jing You received orders to investigate Yang Xuan Long's background, he returned to the cave residence to report.
"Master, according to Zhao Yang, the Taoist Yang who returned last time is from the Fu Yang school of the heretical school. He was one of the people who participated in the siege against his father, Zhao Huan."
When Zhang Yan first saw Yang Xuan Long, he suspected that he was a cultivator from the heretical school, so he was not surprised. He only asked, "Did you see him clearly?"
Jing You bowed and said, "I was afraid that I would go on a business trip, so I went to find Zhenren Tang and Zhenren Song to identify him. They also know this person, so it should be true."
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "When Fellow Daoist Zhang returns, you can tell him and let him decide what he wants."
Jing You said, "When Zhenren returns, I will go and tell him."
Zhang Yan said, "I will cultivate in seclusion these few days. If there is nothing important, you don't have to come."
He was not interested in occupying the Small Granary Realm. Perhaps there were many rare treasures in that small realm, and there might even be elixirs that he needed to find. However, he never had any enmity with the Small Granary Realm. Even if there was a conflict between him and Daoist Nun Wei, it had already been resolved.
In such a big Dongsheng Continent, he did not believe that he could not find enough elixirs. Why did he need to take over someone else's territory?
On the other hand, Zhao Yang had killed his father, so he could not ignore him. As for what to do, it was up to his master, Zhang Boyan, to decide. There was no need for him to overstep his boundaries.
After taking care of him, he turned and went into the inner residence to cultivate in seclusion.
This meditation lasted for more than a month.
One day, the bell in the cave rang softly. It traveled into the depths of the cave residence, causing him to slowly wake up from his meditation. He opened his eyes and a ray of light flashed. He asked in a deep voice, "Jing You, what is happening outside?"
A figure flashed and Jing You came in. He bowed and said, "Master, that Daoist Nun Wei has come. She said that she brought many elixirs up the mountain this time. Master, do you want to see her? "
It wasn't that no one came looking for Zhang Yan these days. Many of the sects that had escaped from the Divine House Mountain saw that the Heavenly Demons had been killed and felt regret. They begged in every way possible to return to the mountain. However, they were all rejected by him.
However, Priestess Wei was different. Jing You knew that this person had the elixir that his master needed. Not daring to make a decision on his own, he hurried over to report the matter.
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said indifferently, "Ask her to wait in the Half Mountain Hall first. Tell him I'll be there soon. "
Jing You bowed and retreated to pass on the message.
Zhang Yan pondered for a while. He felt that Wei Shuling's timing was too coincidental. He didn't know if it had anything to do with Yang Xuanlong.
He got up from the bed and walked towards the side of the cave. When he reached the inner room, he lightly tapped his feet and flew up into the air. He slowly walked down the stone steps and not long after, he arrived at the back of the hall halfway up the mountain. He then stopped and walked out.
Priestess Wei was already sitting in the hall. When she saw him come out, she stood up and bowed, saying, "Sect Head Zhang, long time no see."
Zhang Yan raised his hand to return the greeting and said with a smile, "It is indeed so. It has been more than thirty years since we last met."
Priestess Wei was slightly embarrassed. That day on the sea, she announced in front of her fellow daoists that she would use elixirs to repay the favor. However, in the end, she didn't get much from the Little Granary Boundary. However, she was a stubborn person. Over the years, she had used her family's influence to gather a lot of elixirs from all over the continent. Otherwise, she wouldn't have the face to come here.
She took out a sleeve bag and handed it over. She said seriously, "This is the elixir that I found from all over the world. It's to thank you for your kindness last time. Sect Head Zhang must accept it."
Zhang Yan took a look and smiled. He didn't refuse and rolled up his sleeve to accept it.
Only then did Priestess Wei relax. If the other party didn't accept it, she wouldn't know what to say next.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two of them sat down.
Priestess Wei Just Now sat down. Because she didn't want to beat around the bush, she said, "Speaking of these elixirs, I still have a lot in the Little Granary Boundary. My Senior Brother said that if Sect Head Zhang is interested, you can exchange it with other things. He will welcome you."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "The more elixirs, the better. However, I also know that there are countless elixirs in the Little Granary Boundary. I wonder what kind of elixirs would catch your Senior Brother's eye?"
Priestess Wei said, "I heard that Sect Head Zhang set up a formation in the Divine House Mountain with the people of the Four Schools' Dongtian. They lured the Heavenly Demon and used the Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron to refine it. My Senior Brother doesn't ask for anything else. He just wants a portion of the treasured material that was refined by the Heavenly Demon."
Zhang Yan's gaze deepened. He said, "Oh? I wonder how your esteemed sect head knew about this? "
There were many rumors about the battle of the Divine House Mountain. However, other than the people of the three Dongtian of the South Continent who knew a little about the situation, no one knew about it. So how did the Little Granary Boundary know that the Heavenly Demon was refined by the Heavenly Cauldron?
Daoist Nun Wei was startled, she hesitated for a while, then said with some bitterness, "To be honest, I do not know about this as well. I heard this from my Senior Apprentice-Brother. My late master had always doted on my Senior Apprentice-Brother. The rare treasures passed down by Grandmaster Jing Cang are all in his hands. Among them, a few have the ability to distinguish the Qi of True Consciousness and peep into spiritual vigor.
Zhang Yan nodded and accepted this explanation.
After all, Patriarch Jing Cang was also a mighty person who had ascended. It was not strange for him to have a few treasures that could observe spiritual vigor. Moreover, from what he said, he did not know about the specific situation. It was obvious that there were limitations.
Come to think of it, at that time, both Tao Zhenren and Shen Baishuang were nearby. If someone was spying on them, they would have noticed it immediately.
Priestess Wei saw that he did not speak for a long time. She was a little anxious. She said, "Are you going to agree or not?"
Zhang Yan's gaze shifted. He shook his head and said, "Your Senior Brother's idea is not bad. Unfortunately, it is too one-sided."
Priestess Wei heard his impolite words and was instantly dissatisfied. She snorted and said stiffly, "Why do you say so?"
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. "The Heavenly Demon treasure is very rare. If I give some of this to the people of the three Dongtian of the South Continent, could it be that they can't take out the spiritual medicine? Why would they want to benefit you, the Little Granary Boundary?"
Priestess Wei could not help but be stunned. After a while, she was at a loss. She said, "Then, then isn't it done?"
Zhang Yan smiled. "If we both take a step back, there is still room for discussion."
Priestess Wei asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
Zhang Yan smiled. But he did not say it out loud. Instead, he comforted her. "This matter is not urgent. Although I have an idea, I can only say it after I go back and take a look. Fellow Daoist Wei can stay in my mountain first. We will discuss it in a few days." As he said this, he turned around and instructed Jing You. "Bring Fellow Daoist Wei to the mountain and choose a good cave abode to settle down in."
Jing You walked up. He bowed and gestured. He said, "Daoist Wei, please."
Priestess Wei was helpless. She could only stand up and bow. She followed Jing You down.
What Zhang Yan said Just Now was not perfunctory. He really had an idea.
That day, the Earthly Fire Heavenly Furnace did not only refine the eight armor pieces. There were also many ashes of the Heavenly Demon's body. They were all attached to the few pieces of Qingming Wood. This was also considered a rare treasure in the world. He could take some out and give it to the Little Granary Boundary.
But it was not convenient to say this out loud. Otherwise, it would be mocking him for only being worthy of these dregs.
However, even if the other party accepted this item, the spiritual medicine that could be exchanged for it would not be much. In reality, he would still be at a disadvantage.
Thinking about this, Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. If that was the case, then he might as well sell a favor to them.
After thinking for a while, he took out a letter from his sleeve. It was left behind by Yang Xuan Long that day. He raised his hand and lightly waved it, opening the seal. The letter flew up into the sky and turned into a ray of spiritual light, heading out of the mountain.
Wei Taoist Nun stayed on the mountain for several days. Under Zhang Yan's instruction, the Wang sisters took her on a sightseeing tour of various scenic spots on the mountain. It's just that her temperament was rather cold and she was not a refined person, so she was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
Just as she was getting impatient, Jing You came looking for her again. He said, "Master wants to see Daoist Wei."
Priestess Wei thought that there should be a result regarding the treasure exchange. She said excitedly, "Please lead the way."
She followed Jing You all the way to the mountain. However, the route they took this time was different from the last time. They did not go to the main hall but to the belly of the mountain. Moreover, they went deeper and deeper. She could not help but feel puzzled. She asked, "Where are we going?"
Jing You said, "Daoist Wei, please do not be suspicious. This matter was specially ordered by Master. You will know the reason in a moment."
Priestess Wei suppressed the doubts in her heart and followed him to a chamber decorated with pearls. Other than a well in the middle, there was nothing else.
Jing You pointed at the well and said, "This object is called the 'Yong Ming Well'. It can observe the surroundings within a hundred miles. It also has the effect of gathering spiritual energy. It was originally owned by Kwantam-in in the South Continent. Because of Fengxiang Sword School's coercion, it had no choice but to switch to our Hanyuan School. Chancellor Goh Su-min is grateful for Master's kindness and offered this object of her own accord."
As he finished, he used his hand to draw a circle at the mouth of the well. The originally muddy well water swayed for a while and gradually a scene appeared. He said, "Daoist Wei, please come and see."
Although Priestess Wei did not understand the meaning of this action, her curiosity was piqued. She went forward to take a look. She saw that the light was shining on the main hall halfway up the mountain. At this moment, there was a handsome Daoist with spirited eyes and elegant demeanor sitting in the hall.
Not long after, she saw Zhang Yan coming in from outside the hall. The Daoist happily stood up to welcome him. After the two of them greeted each other, they sat down respectively.
The Daoist's voice was heard saying, "I heard that Wei Shuling has been in your school for the past few days. I believe that Daoist Wei has already made up her mind?"
Priestess Wei heard that the other party's words were related to her and was surprised. She could not help but show an attentive expression.
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Daoist Yang is really well-informed."
Yang Xuanlong thought that Zhang Yan was really willing to join hands with him. His expression also became a bit more enthusiastic. He laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Me and a few senior brothers have been keeping an eye on Xiao Cang Jing for hundreds of years. We know their every move. This is nothing."
When he said this, Priestess Wei could not help but be shocked. She pointed and asked, "Who is this?"
Jing You laughed and said, "Daoist Wei, don't be impatient. Master will explain to you later."
Priestess Wei snorted. She could only force herself to focus and look down.
At this time, she heard Zhang Yan say, "Xiao Cang Jing can stand tall in Dongsheng for thousands of years and no one has ever found the location of its cave. It must be extraordinary. What is Daoist Wei planning to do?"
Yang Xuanlong said, "I hope Daoist Wei can forgive me. This involves many secrets of our school. It's not convenient to talk about it in detail. Daoist Wei only needs to invite her here as usual. I can naturally do something to her." He paused for a while and said, "I will not change my previous promise. After the matter is done, Xiao Cang Jing will be occupied by you, Hanyuan. Once me and my senior brothers get what we want, we will leave. We will not go back on our words."
