Immortal Formula

   Chapter 172 Mysterious monk

Gu Yan was in the cave, and did not rush to refine the soul of the purple flame crystal. She first set up a spirit gathering array, using the characteristics of the purple flame crystal to store the spiritual energy, and continuously absorbed the Taiyin Earth Fire from the earth veins. Qi, this process will last at least three months.

   During these three months, in addition to guarding the magic circle, she occasionally went out of the cave to see the situation on the island.

  Lin Ran is a very cute little girl. She sometimes comes to the back mountain to chat with Gu Yan, and Gu Yan asks her about the current situation of Gui Xuhai. After all, she has been away from Guixuhai for nearly nine years. Even in the first few years of entering Kunyuan, she often wandered in the outer seas, and many things are not clear.

Although Chilangjiao is far away from the inner sea of ​​Guixu Sea, the news is still well-informed. According to Lin Ran, the elders of Tianyin Pavilion began to retreat shortly after the end of the competition. The current Tianyin Pavilion , is in charge of the young disciples appointed by several elders. I heard that this retreat will take fifteen years.

  Gu Yan nodded after hearing this. This was similar to her guess when she was chatting with Wen Nanqin, but she didn't know that the elders of Tianyin Pavilion were retreating at the same time. What was the important thing to do?

   After pondering for a moment, she asked Lin Ran, "It's all the young disciples who are in charge. Are the monks in the Ten Islands and Three Mountains convinced?"

Lin Ran shook his head, "In the past few years, the Ten Islands and Three Mountains have not been peaceful, especially in recent years, under the control of Tianyin Pavilion, they have fought several battles with the West Sea Alliance, and the casualties on both sides are not small. . Now the Inland Sea and the West Sea are more opposed to each other than in previous years."

Gu Yan couldn't help but feel strange. Ordinarily, the elders retreated at the same time, and these disciples should be more cautious, but their actions became more and more flamboyant. The young disciples who had come out and walked were all arrogant and arrogant. Gentlemen, didn't those elders explain it before they retreated, or did they do it deliberately?

This made Gu Yan puzzled. According to Lin Ran, the current Guixu Sea has become a pool of muddy water, and he is still hiding here honestly to refine his Purple Flame Crystal Soul, so don't get involved. .

   She also wanted to ask Lin Ran why the Lin family suddenly decided to move to this desolate environment, barren spiritual energy, and only one fire spiritual vein, which was completely unsuitable for cultivation. But whenever this question was mentioned, Lin Ran avoided answering it, saying that he didn't know much about it. Gu Yan thought that maybe they had something to hide, so she didn't ask any more questions.

  Gu Yan hesitated. The Tianyin Pavilion and the West Sea Alliance had been calm for many years, but now they are making waves again. In addition, the monsters are in full swing to refine the dragon's puppet. What are they going to do? I am afraid that there will be many things in Guixuhai from now on. She still has to find a way to return to the mainland of China.

   I just wonder if Lin Jiaxiu can find a way back? Thinking of the idiot, she couldn't help shaking her head. I am afraid that this person is still immersed in the vast area of ​​Guixuhai, rich in specialties and cannot extricate himself. For this person, as long as he can refine the weapon well, there is not much difference between Shenzhou and Guixuhai.

   On this day, Gu Yan was underground, absorbing the fire aura in the earth veins through the spirit gathering array. Suddenly, I felt that the aura was weakened a little, and it seemed that I had turned around halfway and ran to another place.

   She let out a "Huh", waved her hand and played a spiritual art, the magic circle made of purple flame crystals suddenly glowed brightly, and the spiritual energy was sucked by her again.

   As she added force on one side, the suction on the other side seemed to start to increase. The two sides were at a stalemate here, and the person on the opposite side did not seem to be inferior to her!

   Gu Yan's heart froze, could it be that Lin Ruoxu took the shot himself? When she first came to the island, Lin Ruoxu smiled and said, could it be that she would stumble secretly? At this time, she suddenly felt that the ground began to tremble slightly, and the entire fire spirit vein was a little unstable. She immediately retracted her hand, and then released the purple jade lotus platform to quell the array, and flew out of the ground, and said loudly: " Who is embarrassing me?"

With the instability of the underground fire spirit veins, the ground of the entire island began to become hot, and half of the mountain walls seemed to have a faint crimson color. There was a monk standing on the scarlet cloud and said in a loud voice, "Where is the girl doll!"

  Gu Yan looked up and saw that this is at the other end of the back mountain. There is a high peak, the highest point on the island, known as Chilang Peak. On the mountainside, there is a small temple. When Lin Ran introduced her to the topography of the island, he just said a little bit. Gu Yan thought that it was the place for the Lin family to clean up at that time, so he didn't care. Now it seems that he is not the only outsider on the island!

   The red cloud quickly bullied close, and on it stood a burly man, with half of his shoulders naked, and wearing a suit that looked like animal skins. He didn't look like a monk, but a hunter.

   He carried two steel forks with three strands on his back, and held a small red box in his hand. His face was full of anger. He looked at Gu Yan and said angrily, "You disturbed my magic circle?"

   Before meeting Gu Yan, who was also a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he couldn't help but feel that his aura was no worse than his own. In her impression, the shrine has been blocked by the magic circle, and she thought it was the senior of the Lin family who retreated there. Thinking of this, she said cautiously, "Your Excellency is a monk of the Lin family?"

The two of them were staring at each other like this, when two cultivators flew over from the front mountain, one was Lin Ruoxu and the other was Lin Nan. The two of them looked at Gu Yan and the male cultivator, Lin Ruo He smiled and said, "What's going on?"

  Gu Yan replied, "This fellow Daoist said that I was absorbing fire aura underground and disturbed his formation. Clan Chief Lin didn't tell me, so there are other fellow Daoists stationed here!"

Lin Ruoxu smiled and said, "It's my fault. This is Daoist friend Zheng Zhengyin. He has been retreating here for several years in order to raise spirit beasts. We didn't specifically introduce each other, this time it's just a misunderstanding, why don't we turn the fight into jade?"

   Zheng Zhengyin snorted, "She absorbed a lot of fire aura in the ground, which shocked my spirit beast. How will this account be calculated?"

   After hearing his words, Lin Nan glanced at Gu Yan with a slightly surprised look. Gu Yan probably had a clue in her heart, and these people must have known each other in advance. Otherwise, this Zheng Zhengyin would not occupy such a good place. You must know that Chilang Peak, which leads directly to the underground, is the best place on the island.

   At this time, Lin Nan apologized to Zheng Zhengyin again, saying that it was because of his lack of thought that the conflict between the two parties had arisen, so to speak. Zheng Zheng waved his hand impatiently. I don't want to embarrass this girl, but on the fifteenth day of every month, I want to absorb the yin fire energy of the earth veins to raise spirit beasts. This little girl wants to absorb the underground aura. , please change the time to avoid conflicts. "

   His tone was very loud, as if he was sure that Gu Yan would never be able to grab him. Gu Yan didn't care. She had been away for a long time and encountered many arrogant monks. Now her temper is not as sharp as a forward, and she will not easily argue with others. But her eyebrows couldn't help but pick up, and her eyes fell on the small box in Zheng Zhengyin's hand.

It must be the spirit beast he raised there. Gu Yan was a little surprised. She had been underground for nearly a month, and she knew clearly how much Yin Qi was in the Taiyin Earth Fire below. Even a person with a fire spirit like her. , In the state of no protection, it can't bear it, such a small spirit beast can actually absorb Yin fire? Gu Yan couldn't help but feel curious.

  Gu Yan wanted to have a few more words with Zheng Zhengyin, but he didn't seem to like talking too much, so he waved his hand and rode the red cloud back to the Jingshe.

  Lin Ruoxu kept apologizing to Gu Yan, Gu Yan smiled and said it was okay, then turned around and went back to the ground, but Lin Nan looked at Gu Yan's background with a thoughtful look.

In the days that followed, Gu Yan had been protecting her formation underground. As Zheng Zhengyin said, he only had one day a month to absorb the fire spirit. Gu Yan stopped the formation on that day, and the rest of the days Continue, the two do not interfere with each other.

   In her spare time, she inquired about Zheng Zhengyin from Lin Ran, but Lin Ran had no intention and told Gu Yan everything she knew. It's just that she doesn't know much, she just said that he also came to live here temporarily because of the fire spirit meridian here, in order to be the spirit beast that raised him.

  Gu Yan listened and asked with great interest, "I wonder what kind of spirit beast that fellow Daoist Zheng raised?"

Lin Ran didn't know what to say, "It seems to be a spider, it looks very fierce and strange, and it can spit out long golden silk from its mouth. I saw it with Sister Lin Nan once, and the spirit beast was full of radiance from its body. The hot yin qi made people uncomfortable when approached, and I never saw them again after that."

   Gu Yan thought about all the books she had seen, but she didn't know the name of this kind of spirit beast, so she stopped thinking about it and concentrated on refining her purple flame crystal soul.

  Gu Yan has experience in refining several kinds of fire spirits. This kind of spirit cannot be rushed, but can only be drawn slowly. She slowly used the Taiyin Earth Fire every day to temper the sharp energy in her Ziyan crystal soul, and then tried to communicate with it using the fire energy in her meridians, just like when she refined the Ziluo Tianyan and Bing Lingyan.

   When she was refining, it was all carried out in the chaotic space. The Purple Flame Crystal Soul seemed to like the atmosphere here very much, and flew freely in the chaotic space, just like the fire spirit that Gu Yan had just given birth to. Gu Yan estimated that if she worked like this for another year or two, she would be able to refine the Purple Flame Crystal Soul, and then start the process of refining the puppet. Although the first step has not yet been completed, she still couldn't help showing excitement when she remembered the flood dragon that could fly to the sky.

   There is such a puppet, returning to the Ruins Sea, you can let her come and go freely!
