Zhang Yan thought for a while and looked at the treasures one by one.
Out of these six treasures, four could be used in battles. As for the remaining two, they were used to build a cave and refine Xuan Qi. While they weren't bad, they weren't his first choice.
Out of all of them, he was most interested in the Three Treasure Phase Bead. Normally, this treasure only needed blood to be injected and refined. Then, it could transform into one's own form and aura during battle. If one didn't care about the price, one could use techniques and techniques for a short period of time. That way, during battle, one could use it to make many different moves.
As for the second treasure, he was interested in the Beast Foot Lamp. This treasure was called the Pi Beast Lamp and it could absorb spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth.
When he fought with Yan Changsheng, this treasure was immediately taken away by him. But that was because he had cultivated the Five Elements Escape Art and was not afraid of being trapped. Moreover, he just so happened to have the Five Elements Mystic Light, a divine art that could restrain it. If it was someone else, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with. Therefore, he could use this treasure.
As for the third treasure, because there were two treasures that caught his eye at the same time, it was hard for him to choose.
One of them was called the Peace Prayer Scroll. It could be called a defensive treasure. It could turn into a scroll that was ten thousand miles long. It could cover the sky and the earth and block the invasion of external energy. Before, when he fought, it was the only treasure that voluntarily came out to help Yan Changsheng.
As for the other one, it was the Moon Crossing Raft. This treasure could allow him to travel beyond the Nine Heavens and it didn't require much energy.
After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to choose the Moon Crossing Raft.
It wasn't that the defensive treasure wasn't good. It was just that, relatively speaking, when he was fighting an enemy, the raft had more room to advance and retreat.
In the void, there were many treasures that were hard to find. There were even some treasures left behind by powerful cultivators.
He was different from others. Heaven and Earth was a spiritual cave. He didn't need to guard his home like other Enlightened Beings. With this item, he could travel through the void. He could also borrow the poisonous fire and wind to train his body and improve his cultivation.
Also, after this battle, he wouldn't go out to fight in the near future in case others found out about him.
Therefore, he was going to study the Five Refinement Technique of Strength. If he succeeds, defensive treasures will be useless.
After making his choice, he swept his gaze over the three True Spirits. "Are you all willing to come with me?"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar was the most perceptive and knew how to read people's expressions. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, expressing his loyalty. "This lowly one is willing to follow Master, willing to follow Master. This lowly one will do whatever Master says. If I sincerely disobey, even the heavens will not tolerate me."
The other two True Spirits saw this. They looked at each other and bowed silently.
Zhang Yan raised his finger and knocked three times, releasing three Restrictive Talismans. The middle-aged Confucian scholar swallowed it without hesitation.
The other two hesitated for a moment before doing the same.
Zhang Yan used his transcendence energy to refine them again. After about a quarter of an hour, the three of them shuddered. They felt as if there was an additional object in their spiritual bodies. They knew that from today onwards, their lives were truly in the hands of someone else. A single thought from the other party could determine their life and death.
At this point, they had to accept their fate. They knelt down and said, "Greetings, Master."
Zhang Yan smiled. He raised his sleeve and waved it gently. A cluster of spiritual light sprinkled down like water, covering the hall in an instant. When it was collected, the three treasures and their True Spirits were gone. He then stood up and bowed. "Thank you, Sect Leader, for the treasures."
Sect Leader Qin smiled. He raised his hand and gestured. "Hall Master Du Zhen, please sit."
Zhang Yan bowed slightly and sat down again. He said, "There is one more thing that I need to report to Sect Master. When Zhenren Yan passed away, he left behind a technique in the sect. He said that if we cultivators learn it, we will be able to sense spiritual vigor like a nerve. I think that this technique can be used for reference by the people of the same generation in the sect. Maybe it can increase our strength."
Sect Leader Qin stroked his beard. "In terms of talent, the few of us can't compare to Senior Brother Yan. However, Senior Brother doesn't care if he can achieve immortality. He only cares about repaying kindness and enmity. He's free and unfettered in the world. That's his temperament. In the end, it harmed him."
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Senior Brother Yan killed many disciples in the sect. It's not appropriate to let this matter be known. Hall Master Du Zhen, you can visit him first. When you're familiar with him, we'll temporarily pass on the name of Hall Master Du Zhen. After we ascend, we'll clear Senior Brother Yan's name. "
Zhang Yan thought about it and nodded. "Disciple will obey Sect Leader's order."
He knew that Sect Leader Qin and Lu Junyang would have something to talk about. After exchanging a few more words, he stood up and took his leave.
At this moment, outside, Lu Junyang was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a calm expression. Jiao Yuanliang was pacing around with a frown. He looked very uneasy.
Lu Junyang looked at him and said, "Junior Brother, don't be impatient."
Jiao Yuanliang sighed and said, "I thought that after returning to the sect, I would have a place to settle down. My disciples would also have a place to go in the future. They wouldn't have to live outside like me. I didn't expect that there would be such a big enemy in this Qincang School. Senior Brother, how could I dare to call them here?"
Lu Junyang said, "Zhenren Peng is Zhenren Dongtian. It's understandable for him to make things difficult for you and me, but he won't lower himself to make things difficult for a few juniors."
Jiao Yuanliang smiled bitterly and said, "Even if he doesn't think about it, I'm afraid that his disciples will take the initiative to stand up for me."
Lu Junyang raised his head and looked at him calmly. He said, "Then Junior Brother should cultivate well. The deeper our cultivation, the more people won't dare to act rashly. Even if there's a mishap, when you and I have the ability, if there's a grudge, we can solve it ourselves. There's no need to beg others."
When Jiao Yuanliang heard this, he was stunned. He lowered his head and thought for a while. He cupped his hands and said seriously, "Senior Brother, what you said makes sense. I understand."
As the two were talking, a ray of light suddenly appeared outside the Floating Heavenly Palace. It turned in the sky and landed on the empty space outside the palace.
When the light dispersed, a handsome young Daoist came out. He was stunned when he saw the two of them sitting in front of the palace steps. Perhaps it was because the two of them had a high cultivation level, he came forward and bowed. He said, "Daoist brothers, please come in."
Lu Junyang straightened his clothes and returned the bow. "Greetings, Daoist brother."
The young Daoist said, "I'm Zhou Xuan. I'm a disciple of Xuanshui Palace's Master Qi. Both of you look unfamiliar. May I know where you usually cultivate?"
After Sect Leader Qin opened the Golden Pavilion's treasury, because he was Qi Yuntian's disciple, he also benefited from it. He often came to the Floating Heavenly Palace to read the scriptures.
However, those who could come to this place were all people with a strong background. He was sure that he had never seen these two people before, so he had some doubts.
Lu Junyang had always been magnanimous. Although he had heard about Zhenren Peng after he entered the sect, he had no intention of hiding his master. He was about to reply when Jiao Yuanliang was anxious. He stepped forward and said, "Both of us followed Zhenren Zhang to this place."
"Oh, so you followed Hall Master Du Zhen here."
Although Zhou Xuan knew that he must be hiding something, since he was related to Zhang Yan, he was afraid that he would encounter something that he should not know. Therefore, he did not dare to get to the bottom of it. After chatting with the two of them for a while, he cupped his hands and left.
Jiao Yuanliang was envious and jealous as he watched him leave. He thought, "My honored master was the eldest disciple of the previous generation of Qincang School. If it wasn't for the incident that year, the position of the sect leader would have been him. This Xuanshui Palace should also be the place where my senior apprentice brother lives, right?"
After Zhou Xuan left, he suddenly thought of something. He stopped and thought, "Zhenren Zhang went to the Middle Pillar State to find that fierce person to settle his past grievances. Could it be that these two people are that person's disciples? I heard that that person has a disciple named Lu Junyang. He is very good. Looking at the young man in white robe, he is similar to the rumors. What are they doing here? "
Combining the things that happened before and after, he vaguely guessed a few possibilities. His expression changed. He walked around and said to himself, "If that's the case, I can try to make friends with them. Who knows, I might be able to rely on them in the future."
After Zhang Yan left the Floating Heavenly Palace, he turned back to the Hall of Du Zhen. Once he entered the Xuanze Sea Realm, he silently checked with his palm. Seeing that Liu Yanyi and Tian Kun were meditating and unaware, he retracted his gaze and leaped into the sky.
In a flash, he stepped into the main hall. A few Cloud Dragons sensed that the master of this place had returned. They unconsciously came over and swayed their tails. They swam around him as if they were asking for credit. He smiled and raised his hand to send some essence over.
These Cloud Dragons were refined by the seniors of the sect by combining the essence of the Jiao Dragon with the Mighty Heroes. Usually, they were only used to guard the hall. There were about a hundred of them. With the help of the main hall's prohibition, they would not be weaker than ordinary Grotto-Heaven cultivators. However, if they were to go outside, they would not be able to do so without the support of spiritual vigor and essence.
After comforting these Cloud Dragons and ordering them to guard, Zhang Yan went to the jade platform and sat down. He closed his eyes and regulated his Qi. The pillars around him rotated slowly and continuously guided the spiritual vigor of the Spirit Cave into his body.
About ten days later, the original vitality and essence that he had used in the previous battle were fully replenished. Not only that, he could faintly feel that his cultivation experience had improved a little.
He did not find it strange. In Shen Chong's book, when a Grotto-Heaven cultivator first entered the realm, if he could replenish his essence after every battle, his cultivation experience would more or less improve. However, after a few times, there would not be such a good thing. He would need to train himself step by step.
He pondered for a while and took out a Talisman from his sleeve. This was given to him by Yan Changsheng before he passed away. With this talisman, he could enter the Grotto-Heaven.
Other than the storage of the Dan Jade, there was also the extremely important martial technique. Hence, he planned to enter and retrieve it.
He raised his finger and tapped on the Talisman. He injected mana into it. After a few breaths, there was a dazzling light flowing on the talisman. Then, it became wider and wider. Gradually, a screen of light appeared.
He looked over and stared at it for a while. Looking at the situation, it was similar to when he entered the small world.
However, in this kind of heavenly passage, the cultivators would always set up some measures to prevent the invasion of outsiders. Although with Yan Changsheng's temperament, he would not do such a thing secretly, he was still particularly careful. He did not personally go in, but instead took a drop of essence blood and condensed it into an avatar. Then, with a light push, a gentle wind arose, and it was sent in.
