The young woman at the side smiled as brightly as a flower and said softly, "Fellow Daoist Qi, my fourth young master has invited me so warmly, I hope you won't refuse it again."
"Fourth Master, this is Lingxiang Pill, which can remove the toxins in your body." The blind monk took off the khaki gourd from his waist, poured out a small brown pill and held it in his palm...
Wei Dian said nothing, raised his hand to pinch the pill, opened his mouth and swallowed it, then closed his eyes and practiced the magic formula to refine it.
Qi Yuan smiled, closed the folding fan in his hand, and said warmly, "Then I, Qi, would be disrespectful to refuse it."
If we push it further, what will we do if the person really runs away?
This Wei Dian could make several Nascent Soul cultivators call him the Fourth Young Master, which shows that he has a background that is at the level of a Mahayana cultivator?
"It's good that the benefactor agrees, otherwise Wei will feel guilty."
Wei Dian opened his eyes, and suddenly a bright light appeared. It was obvious that the toxins in his body had been resolved. Then he ordered: "Master Kui, you lead the way."
"I obey your command." said an old man in a gray robe.
As he spoke, he turned into a stunning rainbow and fled in a certain direction.
Qi Yuan set off to fly with several people from the ancient Li tribe.
After about half a day, an extremely majestic city came into view. It was like a celestial lion crawling on the ground, as if it could burst out with tremendous power at any time.
"This Lin'an City was built by our Guli, Jinshi, and Giant Hand tribes together. It is a place for the monks of the three tribes to travel with each other or trade. Its prosperity is no less than that of our own holy city. I have some property in the city, which can be used to entertain benefactors."
Wei Dian looked at the huge Lin'an City from afar and said with a kind expression.
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the city wall which was about 500 feet high. He saw soldiers in armor stationed on the city wall. The bricks of the wall revealed the aura of the formation. He knew in his heart that it was not simple...
He said, "Fellow Daoist Wei, you and I can just call each other fellow Daoists. There is no need to call me benefactor anymore."
"Haha, since Brother Qi is so insistent, I will fulfill your wish." Wei Dian responded with a smile.
Qi Yuan said, "Fellow Daoist Wei just said that this city was built by the three tribes. Does that mean that the Jinshi tribe and the Giant Hand tribe are next to the nobles?"
"Yes, it is precisely because the three tribes have a large amount of territory adjacent to each other that they often engage in fierce fighting, which leads to a sharp decline in the number of tribes. In order to quell the war and allow the tribe to recuperate, our ancestors spent their entire lives lobbying the other two tribes, which is why Lin'an City exists today."
When Wei Dian recounted what happened, his face looked quite excited and proud.
Hearing this…
Qi Yuan nodded slightly to show his approval.
Then he followed Wei Dian into the city. On the wide streets, some monks wearing special clothes and with strange auras could be seen everywhere.
Even Void-Refining cultivators are not rare and their traces are often seen frequently, causing some low-level cultivators to exclaim in surprise.
Relying on his spiritual sense at the initial stage of fusion, he took a rough look at the general situation of Lin'an City and found that there were quite a few fusion-stage cultivators hovering there, and their number was quite considerable.
In addition, there are three extremely obscure auras somewhere in the north of the city. Qi Yuan's mind became a little turbulent, and he secretly said to himself, "A cultivator in the Mahayana period."
Immediately, he did not dare to test it any further and withdrew his spiritual sense.
It is enough to know the general situation, there is no need to explore in depth for the time being.
"We're here. This Linxian Inn is my property. Brother Qi, please have a good rest here first. I will come to visit and thank you tomorrow." Wei Dian said, pointing with his finger.
Right in front of me, there stood an elegantly decorated inn with four large characters "Linxian Inn" written on a hanging plaque. There were several waiters in front of the door warmly welcoming the guests.
People often come in and out of the threshold, and business is very prosperous.
Qi Yuan turned his eyes and moved away from the inn, saying, "Okay, I have another question. Is there a teleportation array in the city that can lead to the Tianpeng tribe?"
"The Tianpeng clan? I remember that there were no Mahayana cultivators in this clan, so there was no direct teleportation route in Lin'an City. However, the Tianpeng clan was one of the seventy-two branches of the Feiling clan, so their Feiling main city could be reached by teleportation." Wei Dian pondered for a moment and said slowly.
Qi Yuan said, "That's fine. I'll trouble you, Brother Wei, to take care of this little favor."
"If it's not urgent, I will thank Brother Qi and then ask someone to arrange the transmission." Wei Dian did not refuse, but agreed readily.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei." Qi Yuan bowed with a smile and exchanged a few polite words. He then led Bing Feng and the other two deep into the Linxian Inn and stepped into an independent small courtyard.
This is the residence arranged for him by Wei Dian. The relevant spiritual energy and defensive prohibitions are of top-notch standard. There are seven or eight independent rooms inside, which is more than enough for one person.
In the courtyard room, Qi Yuan shook the hem of his black robe, sat cross-legged on the cushion, and whispered:
"Wei Dian's aura is quite ethereal. Although he has a magic treasure to conceal his body, it is still unable to cover up his rootless floating momentum. From the perspective of his spiritual sense, he seems to be an incarnation? If he is an incarnation, has his original body's cultivation reached the stage of integration?"
"At the moment, the other party doesn't show any abnormality, so let's keep it to ourselves for now."
Immediately, he calmed his mind and entered a state of meditation.
……
Lin'an City, North District.
In a certain gorgeous manor, Wei Dian, dressed in noble attire, was walking in the corridor with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. Two old men, a young woman, and a blind man were all following behind him.
Several people entered a rather dark secret room. The fluorescent light of the formation flashed in all directions, and then suddenly dimmed.
"I failed to protect the young master well, and I am willing to accept the punishment." The four Void Refining Monks knelt down on one knee in unison.
Wei Dian ignored him and walked to the front of the secret room, where there were two yellow cushions, one of which had already been occupied by someone.
He sat down naturally, his eyes flashed, and he took out a stone key about an inch long from the storage bracelet. On the small key, there was an extremely subtle special spiritual pattern engraved.
Then pass it to the people around you...
As his gaze shifted over, he saw that the man looked exactly like Wei Dian, with his hair, skin, and body shape, as if they were cast from the same mold.
And his cultivation aura is at the late stage of Refining Void.
Wei Dian's main body took the stone key from his avatar, and looked at it for a long time with his slender eyes before he spoke: "It is indeed the most crucial key to the Golden Crow Spirit Cave. It is worth it for me to sacrifice so many of my men and risk my life to intercept it."
“With it, it will be possible to obtain the Golden Crow Spiritual Cave hidden under the Qilin True Cave. Once my innate Zhurong Divine Fire refines the Golden Crow True Flame, entering the Fusion Stage will be just around the corner. I will naturally not take this small benefit to heart. The Golden Crow True Flame can increase the probability of breaking through the Mahayana Stage, which is my real goal.”
“Fortunately, the key to open the Golden Crow Spirit Cave has been obtained, otherwise I would be to blame.” The young woman said delicately.
Wei Dian put away the stone key and said with a cold look in his eyes: "You didn't come to rescue me as planned and almost destroyed my precious incarnation. Don't you want to give me an explanation?"
"Please forgive me, sir. When we were about to leave, the eldest master came to find us in person, so we were delayed." An old man explained in fear. "I knew that the eldest master was setting a trap for me. He wanted me to refine the Golden Crow True Fire and obtain the qualification to advance to the Mahayana stage. Then he would compete with me for the position of future clan leader."
A fierce look flashed across Wei Dian's face and he spoke in a murderous tone.
"Of course. When the time comes, Madam Wu will definitely focus on cultivating the young master and give up the eldest son." The young woman said softly.
Wei Dian's eyes flashed, and he said, "Brother has already broken through to the Fusion Stage. My advantage is that I have concealed my strength in the late Refining Void Stage. Even only the four of you know about it, and even mother may not know about it."
"If my external incarnation had been killed today and my real body had to step in, the advantage I had worked so hard to gain would have vanished. Fortunately, the human cultivator Qi Yuan stepped in to block it and saved the situation."
"I think the punishment is too light. How about deducting one Dream Immortal Pill from you?"
"Sir, spare your life!"
The four cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage showed deep fear on their faces and kowtowed one after another.
Wei Dian snorted coldly and said, "If you do it again next time, I will never show mercy."
As he said this, he took out four black pills from his arms and threw them directly onto the ground.
When the four Nascent Soul cultivators saw the black pill, they rushed to grab it like mad dogs, and then kept it as if it were a treasure.
“Young master, since the Golden Crow Spirit Cave is hidden beneath the Qilin True Cave, it goes without saying that it is filled with dangers. I think we should find a few cultivators of the same level to explore together. With their help, we can first eliminate the danger from the Qilin True Cave.” The blind cultivator said slowly.
Wei Dian smiled and said, "How precious is the opportunity contained in the Qilin True Cave? I have already leaked the news and selected the personnel."
"Having two True Spirit Caves next to each other is simply unheard of. The danger is definitely beyond imagination. Why not bring Qi Yuan in to add another manpower?" said the young woman with a smile.
Wei Dian said with an embarrassed look on his face: "He is my savior after all, isn't it a shame?"
"This is a great opportunity. If you survive to the end, you will be blessed with a good life. If you die in there accidentally, it can only be said that you are not strong enough. Young master is kind-hearted, and it is human nature to help your savior." The young woman took a few steps and said, raising the fragrant wind.
The blind man said, "Mrs. Mo's words make sense. You are giving your lifesaver an opportunity. How can it be bad? Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent. It is the law of nature."
"That makes sense, that makes sense. I can't bear to see people who have done me a favor suffer losses. Tomorrow I will invite Brother Qi to explore the Qilin True Cave." Wei Dian said generously.
The next day.
Led by a waiter from Linxian Inn, Qi Yuan, Bing Feng and the other two went up to a quiet and elegant attic.
Although the height is not outrageous, the view is extraordinary and it is a unique place.
In the center of the attic, Wei Dian and others had been waiting for a long time.
"Brother Qi, please take a seat." Wei Dian stood up and invited him politely.
Qi Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei, you are too polite."
Then he sat down cross-legged in front of a small coffee table, where all the finest spiritual teas and fruits were available.
Bing Feng and the other two stood behind him.
Wei Dian clapped his hands, and two beautiful maids came over from somewhere else, holding a wooden tray in both hands, and said: "Six Fire Anti-Origin Pills are a kind of fire-attributed pills of our clan. The medicinal effect is amazing. They are never sold and are usually used as gifts for distinguished guests."
"The Fire-Proofing Spiritual Shield is a rare treasure that can block attacks from spiritual fire. This is Wei's gift of thanks."
Qi Yuan looked at the treasures on the tray. He saw a small wooden box and a small and exquisite cover. A faint spiritual power emanated from them. He said:
"Brother Daoist Wei, your move is extraordinary. I will accept your gift, but I have a bottle of spiritual wine that I would like to share with you."
"Oh? That's fine." Wei Dian said casually.
After all, his mother, Madam Wu, is a Mahayana cultivator, and has tasted many precious spiritual wines.
He didn't believe that a weak human could easily produce the spiritual wine that he praised.
Qi Yuan took out a bottle of simplified fairy leaf wine from his storage bracelet, and motioned to the maid to take it and pour it. His fairy leaf wine was later improved by replacing several spiritual herbs on the original basis, thus doubling the effect of the spiritual wine.
The maid held the wine jug with one hand and poured the wine into the jade glass.
The color of the spiritual wine is mixed and inconspicuous, but the aroma of the wine is unique and rich, and the spiritual energy contained in it should not be underestimated.
Wei Dian's face was stunned. Based on his experience, he could tell that the spirit wine was of good quality. He opened his mouth and drank it. It flowed down his throat to his lungs and immediately turned into a warm air flow, moistening his internal organs.
In the remote corners of the human race, Qi Yuan, who is only in the Nascent Soul stage, can come up with such a good thing?
If a cultivator in the fusion stage or the Mahayana stage showed up, he would not be so shocked.
"Good wine, Brother Qi is indeed a man of few talents. Not only does he have strong guards following him, but he can also take out this fine wine and enjoy it."
"Haha, this spiritual wine is a spiritual object of my family's ancestor. I, Qi, tried my best, but could only get two bottles." Qi Yuan said vaguely.
Wei Dian thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked Brother Qi about his family background yet. My mother practiced hard for tens of thousands of years before she was lucky enough to advance to the Mahayana stage. I am the fourth among my brothers, so I am called the Fourth Young Master."
“Speaking of which, I am ashamed to say that I married the granddaughter of Patriarch Ao Xiao, which is why I am where I am today.” Qi Yuan revealed a bit of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan’s aura.
When Wei Dian heard this, his eyes fell into deep thought, but soon brightened up again. He looked at Qi Yuan with a little more respect, but also with a complex and slightly contemptuous look in his eyes.
As for the Mahayana cultivators from the human and demon races, he had heard from his mother that Ancestor Ao Xiao highly respected them, while Senior Mo Jianli cared the least.
Even if Qi Yuan gained his wealth by living off his wife, the mere fact that he had the protection of a Mahayana cultivator already made him better than countless other cultivators.
This indirectly shows that his specialties are really good.
When Wei Dian thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and said with a smile: "As long as a cultivator can achieve the Great Dao, he doesn't need to stick to any means."
"Brother Qi, I have a great opportunity here, do you want to participate?"
"What opportunity?" Qi Yuan asked back curiously.
Wei Dian's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. Instead, he spoke through telepathy.
Is there a real Qilin cave in Fengyuan Continent?
Qi Yuan's heart was moved when he heard this. (End of this chapter)
