Ao Tong wandered happily in the Longyuan Swamp. When he was in high spirits, he rolled and moved. Demonic clouds rolled and turbid waves rose to the sky.
Fortunately, Spirit Page Island was located southwest of Yazawa. There were only a few volcanoes within three hundred miles.
The island was covered in blazing fire all year round. It was unbearable for cultivators, so few people went there.
Even the Red Cloud Island, which was the largest island in the area, was taken care of after Wang Pan became a stranger. They were not allowed to go out. No matter how big the news was, no one came to disturb them.
Since Ao Tong had already recognized him as its master, Zhang Yan was not afraid that he would run away. If he went far, he could just call him back in his heart. So, he let it roll there and returned to the cave abode.
Just as he stepped into the cave abode, he heard a croaking sound. Zhang Yan looked for the sound and found that it was the five-colored lizard that cleaned the cave abode. When everyone was around, it did not show itself. Now that only Zhang Yan was here, it came out and croaked.
Zhang Yan chuckled and said, "I forgot about it." He took out a pearl from his sleeve and flicked it. A white line streaked across the sky. The five-colored lizard stuck out its long tongue and put the pearl into its throat.
Its abdomen arched, and two more lizards peeked out from the hole behind it. It was just that they were much smaller than it, and the patterns on their bodies were not as bright as its.
"Oh, I didn't expect to have children here?" When Zhang Yan saw it, his face was filled with joy. He said, "My cultivation is improving and my body is getting stronger. Now that I have children, this is an auspicious sign." Spiritual creatures could reproduce and reproduce. The five-colored lizard had always been the guardian of the house. There was a custom in the world of mortals to paint it on the lintel. If it gave birth to children in the cave abode, it meant that the owner of the cave had a stable foundation and showed signs of expansion. It was an auspicious sign.
Seeing that the omen was good, Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel happy. He flicked a few more beads on the ground. The five-colored lizard was so happy that it cried out a few more times. It crouched on the ground and bowed a few times like a human. With a wave of its tail, it picked up the beads and disappeared into the rocky peak with its two juniors.
Zhang Yan returned to the stone platform and sat down. When he raised his eyes, he saw the sleeve bag that Xie Zongyuan had given him on the table. He wondered what was in it.
Picking it up and opening it to take a look, what entered his eyes was a jade token, and beside it was a bamboo scroll. Opening it to take a look, he couldn't help but sigh. "Thank you, Senior Brother."
It turned out that Xie Zongyuan gave him a saddle. It was a saddle that could be used. Xie Zongyuan knew that Zhang Yan could not ride it. Xie Zongyuan knew that Xie Zongyuan would not be able to ride it.
That bamboo scroll was the incantation to use this treasure.
Zhang Yan only took a few glances, but in a flash, he understood the densely packed characters on it like ants, and understood how to use it. Putting down the bamboo scroll, he thought, "The memory of drinking and chatting merrily with Shixiong Liu and Shixiong under the moonlight is still vivid in my mind. But in the blink of an eye, Shixiong Liu died, and even his original spirit could not escape."
If a cultivator escaped with his primordial spirit, he could reincarnate as a human. If he was enlightened by his relatives and friends, he still had a chance to walk on the road to immortality. But Liu Tao's soul disappeared and there was no trace of him.
Zhang Yan put down the Crouching Beast Saddle in his hand, stood up and paced around with his hands behind his back. "Our Xuanmen disciples pay particular attention to gathering and nurturing. In the end, we do not seek external help. However, once we fail, there will be no chance for us to make a comeback. I've heard from Senior Brother Zhou that there is a supernatural power in our sect called Soul Separation Beheading. It can separate the Primordial Spirit and entrust it to an object. Even if the body is destroyed, we can start over again. Most of the secrets in Qincang School could only be learned by performing meritorious deeds for the sect. But some secrets were only known by the sect leader and a few elders of the Du Zhen Hall. Moreover, they were only given to the fated students. No matter how much merit one made, it was useless.
Naturally, the so-called "fated" depended on whether one was close to the person who knew the secret. From this point of view, Zhang Yan joined Qi Yuntian's faction because he was in a favorable position.
But how could there be so many opportunities to perform meritorious deeds? Now that the battle between Qincang School and the three lakes was about to start, it was exactly what the students wanted. No wonder they couldn't wait to perform meritorious deeds.
He took a few more steps and took out the Seven Heart Dragon Pendant that Liu Tao asked him to give to him. He pondered and said, "Originally, Senior Martial Brother Liu Tao asked me to give this jade to his descendant after I get out of the demon cave. But Senior Martial Brother Qi came to find me in a few days, so I didn't have time to walk around. But now that I have just reached the Mystic Light Realm, I will need to go deep underground and use the evil aura to train. I don't know if the evil aura under the Spirit Page Island is what I want. Why don't I go down and take a look?"
After stepping into the "Initial Enlightenment of Spirit" state, he needed to absorb the evil aura of golden fire underground to train his mystic light. Only when the mystic light was strengthened and refined would he be able to achieve the second stage "Bright Night as Day".
He walked out of the cave and stepped on the ground. A cloud rose from the ground and lifted him up slowly. He landed at the fire vent on the mountain peak.
He walked forward and looked down. He saw that he was surrounded by black clouds that covered the sun and the sky. Smoke and dust blocked the orifices. If a normal person stood here, they would suffocate to death in a few breaths. Zhang Yan didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, the metal and fire xuan seeds were jumping around and became more active than usual.
He stood up and leaped. A gold and a red light wrapped around him and rushed down. His speed was extremely fast. Along the way, he avoided the smoke and the fire. Not long after, he arrived at the belly of the fire pit. He felt that he couldn't go any deeper. He saw that the walls were burning like a furnace, red like blood. Even with the protection of the mystic light, the heat still made him feel like he was being burned.
He estimated that he had already gone more than three thousand feet underground. Not only was the evil aura here dense, the spiritual aura was also abundant.
He opened his mouth and took a deep breath of the evil aura. Then, he sprayed the mystic light. With a "chi chi" sound, it was as if he had thrown a handful of boiling oil into the fire. The light soared up and became even more dazzling.
Seeing this, he was delighted. The Spirit Page Island was indeed a blessed land. Even if it wasn't as good as the demon pit, when his cultivation deepened in the future, the spiritual aura wouldn't be much different if he went further underground.
At this moment, he felt a sense of fear in his heart. It wasn't his own feeling, but the change of mood of Ao Tong, which was connected to his blood essence.
Zhang Yan frowned. Could it be that he had met an old-fashioned fellow disciple?
He used the sword ray to fly up and in an instant, he was out of the fire vent. Looking up, he saw Ao Tong lying obediently in the water. At this moment, he didn't dare to move. The power he had just now was nowhere to be seen. Above it, there were two cultivators pointing at it. One of them was Qi Yuntian.
Zhang Yan's expression changed. Qi Yuntian actually came so quickly and personally. He didn't just send one disciple as he had expected. Zhang Yan couldn't help but nod his head. Regardless of whether the other party was putting on an act or not, as the disciple of Meng Zhen and the number one disciple under the third generation, it wasn't easy for him to do this.
He leaned forward and heard Qi Yuntian say, "Junior Brother Fan, you have always had a good eye. Look, is this Golden Flood Dragon an ancient species?"
Although Qi Yuntian and Zhuang Bufan were the top ten disciples in the sect, he didn't care about such things. He didn't care about the demonic creatures raised by his disciples. Instead, he commented with interest.
The other cultivator had a round face and a big belly. He looked more like a merchant than a Daoist cultivator. He smiled and replied, "Ten thousand years ago, I heard that this species was everywhere in our sect. Now, it's hard to find one. This creature can fly through the clouds and enter the water. It can be used to travel to the Northern Underworld Sea or the Southern Cliff Fire Cave. If you use it as a mount, you will be able to roam the world freely. Junior Brother Zhang is really lucky to have one." At this moment, Zhang Yan came to the side of the two and said from afar, "It's just a Golden Flood Dragon. If this Senior Brother likes it, then take it." The cultivator turned his head and pointed at him with a smile. He said, "Junior Brother Zhang, don't make fun of me. This Golden Flood Dragon has already confessed to me and recognized me as its master. How can you give it to me? I heard that Junior Brother Zhang is a disciple of the headmaster Zhou. Why don't you give me some pills? "
Zhang Yan knew that he was laughing. This person's whole body was surging with True Essence, giving people a great pressure, and there was even a faint murderous aura leaking out. With one look, it was obvious that he was a Core Formation cultivator, so why would he need his medicinal pills?
He stepped forward and cupped his hands. He asked, "May I know your name, Senior Brother?"
The cultivator smiled and returned the greeting. He said, "I am Master Meng's disciple, Fan Chang Qing. I came from the same sect as Senior Brother Qi."
Zhang Yan cupped his hands again and said, "So it's Senior Brother Fan. Since the two of you are here, why don't you come to my abode and let me be your host?" Qi Yuntian nodded and smiled, "That's exactly what I was thinking.
Zhang Yan welcomed the two of them in and arranged them to be seated. He ordered Shang Chang to prepare some fruits and wine to serve the two of them.
Fan Changqing looked around, shook his head, and said, "Brother Hua, you're too poor. We cultivators don't care about these kinds of things, but some decorations can show off the elegance of our big sect's disciples. I have a lot of arrangements that are useless to me. I'll order someone to send them over another day." Since others were willing to give him tools, Zhang Yan would never refuse. He cupped his hands and said in a natural tone, "Then I will accept it." …
Fan Chang Qing saw that Zhang Yan was not embarrassed at all and thought, "This Junior Brother Zhang is a straightforward person. That's good. I'm just afraid that he is a fake Daoist. This makes things difficult for me. It seems that Senior Brother Qi has a good eye for people."
The three chatted for a while more before they got to the main topic.
Qi Yuntian smiled faintly. He said, "I came to tell Junior Brother that after coming back from the Demon Cave, you have achieved Xuan Light. The sect will naturally send you to the Three Pools to kill demons. However, Junior Brother has only been in the sect for less than a year. It is not good to lack the help of a fellow disciple. Therefore, I specially asked Junior Brother Fan to come so that you can take care of each other." Zhang Yan understood that Fan Changqing's cultivation was far above his, so 'looking out for each other' was also Fan Changqing looking out for him. It was just that Fan Changqing was afraid that Zhang Yan's arrogant personality would not appreciate it, so he had to be tactful.
Zhang Yan naturally would not be hot-headed enough to refuse such kindness. He smiled and raised his cup to Fan Chang Qing. "I hope Senior Brother will give me some pointers in the future."
Di Chang Qing quickly raised his cup and said, "You flatter me." …
