A moment later, Meng Ruyan arrived in front of the cave. She raised her hand and formed a spell. The cave's array suddenly opened. With a flash, she flew into it. When they arrived at the cave, Meng Ruyan saw Xiao Yuyao sitting upright on the ground. She smiled and asked, "Junior apprentice sister, when I came here just now, I met a male cultivator. It seemed like you were the one who sent him out, right?
"How is it?" Xiao Yuyao raised his brows, and said indifferently.
Although the two had a good relationship on the surface, they fought in the dark. The three great beauties of the Profound Immortal Sect, all of them at golden core stage cultivation, the other already had a immortal companion, and only the two of them were still single. The two were both equally beautiful, and with the same level of cultivation, they both hoped to be a level above the other in some aspects. They also wished to break through the golden core stage a little earlier and reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
On this point, Xiao Yuyao's performance was not that obvious, he only hoped that his cultivation would surpass his opponent's. However, Meng Ruyan was different. She wanted to surpass her opponent in every possible way. For example, Xiao Yuyao saw a certain cultivator and hoped to become the immortal companion. Meng Ruyan would use all of her powers to snatch it away, and the reason why she cultivated the bewitching arts back then was because of this. Unfortunately, in these past few years, Xiao Yuyao had not bothered with any of the male cultivators, and even the few books he read did not have any ambiguous relationships with him.
It was precisely because of this that when Meng Ruyan saw Han Yan coming out of her cave abode today, he had the thought of seducing her. As a Master Ancestor of the golden core stage, she naturally would not make things difficult for a low-level cultivator. But towards this "must be good" sister, obviously cannot easily let go of this topic, who knows what kind of relationship the two really have.
Hearing Junior Sister's cold words, Meng Ruyan was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Junior Sister, it was rumored that I know that there has never been a male cultivator in your cave, so this seems to be the first, right?"
"Since you know, why are you asking?" Xiao Yuyao's voice was still calm, as if she did not dare to be interested in this topic.
It's fine if she's not interested, but Meng Ruyan is very interested. He continued, "I seem to remember, someone said that as long as a male cultivator enters her cave, it's impossible for him to leave this place alive."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuyao's face slightly changed, and said: "Senior Sister, what exactly do you want to say?"
Meng Ruyan covered his lips and laughed. With a wave of his sleeves, he said with a smile: "Junior Sister, don't be agitated, I am just curious."
"He's just passing by." Xiao Yuyao did not tell her the truth. She could not tell Meng Ruyan that she had failed in breaking through the bottleneck, and that the other party had entered the cave at this time when her spirit energy was in a mess. If he said so, Meng Ru wouldn't believe him, even if he were her.
Meng Ruyan shook his head and said: "Junior sister, don't lie to me. Your Heavenly Spirit formation is connected to the Spiritual Sense. Saying this, she changed the subject and continued, "Moreover, with his cultivation level, he still can't break through this formation. It can't be that you're hiding something from me, right?" She had already determined that Xiao Yuyao and Han Yan had an unspeakable relationship, and that it might even be the relationship between them back then in the mortal world.
Xiao Yuyao didn't want to explain, so no one would believe it anyway. Therefore, he said, "Think what you want! I have nothing to do with her. " As he spoke, he ignored Meng Ruyan and closed his eyes to cultivate.
Meng Ruyan looked at Xiao Yuyao for a long time. She did not see any expression on his face and started to suspect that she was wrong. But thinking about it in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yuyao's shrewdness was so deep that anything could happen. Before even reaching a 1-star spiritual root, he was actually able to cultivate his spirit energy to such a pure level. Could it be that Junior Sister wants to find the dual cultivation and absorb the pure spirit energy in his body?
With that thought, Meng Ruyan had an idea in his heart. He looked deeply at his Junior Sister for a moment, then turned and left.
At this moment, Han Yan was already walking along that small path which was filled with the fragrance of flowers. After walking for a while, he arrived at a place that was like a valley. This place was located within a mountain range. It was evident that someone had expended a great amount of magic power to forcefully create this place. On the walls of the valley, there was a small line of words every three feet. Han Yan's gaze landed on the third cave dwelling. The name on top of it was indeed Dong Juan.
Han Yan took a deep breath, then shot out a sound transmitting from below the name. When the sigil flew to the mountain wall, with a flash of white light, he entered.
"This is indeed a cultivator's abode." Han Yan's eyes lit up as he thought. The place they went to just now was most likely the cave of a golden core stage Ranker. After all, only those who had cultivated to that level would have the right to live in one place. This valley was not big, there were only three hundred names on it, it should be the cultivation location of the foundation-building stage cultivator. No wonder the Profound Immortal Sect was known as the number one sect in the Ten Directions Continent. Just the foundation-building stage cultivator alone had more than two hundred people.
Han Yan did not know that although the Tianming Sect only had a little more than a hundred people, they were still considered good compared to the other sects on the continent. This time, he had heavily injured two people and killed so many disciples who were ranked in the top one hundred. It probably wouldn't be many years before Tianming Sect's ranking fell out of the top five. Of course, all of these had nothing to do with Han Yan. Since he had decided to leave the Tianming Sect, he would not turn back.
At this moment, the formation to the cave opened and a solemn voice sounded out, "Come in!"
Han Yan leaped over, and flew into the cave. The cave wasn't very big, it was about the same size as the cave in Tianming Sect. Unlike Xiao Yuyao's cave, there were differences between the internal cavity and the cave. At the center of the cave, there was a yellow prayer mat, and on it sat a thirty year old woman. The person looked at Han Yan, and before Han Yan could speak, he asked: "Are you the cultivator with the letter?"
Han Yan cupped his hands: "This junior is."
A look of pleasant surprise flashed past Dong Juan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She then asked: "What is your relationship with Nalan Hai?"
Han Yan naturally could not say that it was the truth, but if it was a lie that was too powerful, the other party would not believe it either. His mind worked quickly, and a thought involuntarily appeared. Thus, he said: "This disciple was once a disciple of the Tianming Sect, and then …" He explained the situation of the Tianming Sect in a simple manner. Seeing that the other party did not interrupt him, he continued, "Later on, in order to save father, I found out that there was a Purple Soul Wood in the Nalan family. Thus, I went to visit him and in the end, I met Senior Nalan Hai.
Dong Juan nodded his head, his expression becoming solemn, he suddenly asked: "Before he gave you the Purple Soul Wood, did he want to accept you as his disciple?"
Han Yan was startled, these words were obviously a probe, if the answer was wrong, then forget about becoming Profound Immortal Sect's disciple, it was very likely that he would kill her. Han Yan thought for a moment, then said: "Senior Nalan Hai did not say that he wanted me to become his disciple, but invited me to join the clan." In other words, he didn't know whether she was right or wrong. If there really was a relationship between the two, she should know Nalan Hai's thoughts. If that was the case, he might as well tell the truth. If this was the signal between the two of them, they could only blame their bad luck. Han Yan thought that Nalan Hai was not that kind of person, there was no need to borrow the hands of others to kill him.
After hearing what Han Yan had said, a look of disappointment flashed across Dong Juan's face as he said, "Other than these, what else can you say?"
"Nope." Han Yan's eyes flashed, and couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to ask.
Dong Juan closed his eyes, inhaled deeply, and slowly said: "Go! Tell Nalan Hai, I don't want to accept disciples. "
Han Yan's heart tightened and his face showed hesitation. Although he thought about how the other party didn't want to accept him as a disciple, he didn't think it would be this quick. He only asked him a few questions, and without figuring out the truth of the matter, he was rejected from the door. Seeing that the other party did not look like he did not want to continue listening, Han Yan clenched his teeth and said: "Senior, even if you do not accept this junior as your disciple, you still want this junior to understand the reason, right?"
Regarding the opportunity to enter the Profound Immortal Sect to cultivate, Han Yan didn't want to give it up. On the continent, even if there were 10,000 cultivators like him, there would at least be 8,000. The reason why rogue cultivators were difficult to reach Foundation Establishment was because they had no sect to protect them from. It was tantamount to having no safety, and could only mean that they would be killed one day by other rogue cultivators. As for the other reason, it was because there was no cultivation method. Many rogue cultivators wasted their time searching for secret manuals and Pill, so the amount of time they had to cultivate was pitifully little.
Dong Juan opened his eyes as a cold light flashed past. He said coldly, "I'll give you three breaths of time to leave this place.
"What if I don't?" Han Yan's gaze was also cold, without any fear at all. The spirit energy in his body circulated quickly, ready to fight. Since the other party had already said such a thing, Han Yan would just throw caution to the wind, even though he was only Qi Refining Stage Cultivator, he did not put foundation-building stage cultivator in his eyes, as long as he wanted, he could kill him.
Dong Juan's face sank, he never thought that Han Yan would have the guts. Sweeping his divine sense across the other party's body, he realized that he was only a cultivator of Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage, so he coldly snorted and said with disdain: "You're courting death." She was the same as Daoist Master Hong Dao, she could only see that the spirit energy in Han Yan's body was extremely pure, but could not see that his spirit energy whirlpool was several times larger than that of ordinary cultivators. To find these clues, he needed his cultivation to be at golden core stage to be able to do so, and not all Cultivator In Golden Pill Stage s could do it, only cultivators with a large amount of spiritual sense could see through the clues in Han Yan's body.
It was because Dong Juan did not have any understanding of the situation in Han Yan's body, that was why she did not put Han Yan in her eyes. With regards to Han Yan's previous words, she thought that the other party was just bragging. As for why she didn't want Han Yan to become her disciple, because she didn't ask any questions that she wanted to hear, and since her cultivation had not been going well recently, she didn't want to take the time to teach others.
Dong Juan patted the storage bag on her waist and a white light flashed. A palm-sized red silk cloth appeared in front of her. Dong Juan then used a technique on the silk fabric, causing a red light to shine from it, whizzing out, it went straight for Han Yan, and in the blink of an eye it was right in front of him.
Han Yan didn't know how to attack the silk fabric, so he was forced to retreat several meters, all the way to the entrance of the cave. He patted the storage bag at his waist and an ordinary magical equipment flew out, flying straight towards the silk cloth. The moment when the two were about to come into contact, the area between the silk suddenly caved in, as if a person's body was bent. Following that, the silk fabric accelerated and wrapped Han Fei's flying sword inside it, isolating the spiritual sense connection between the flying swords and Han Yan.
This was the first time Han Yan had seen such a magical equipment, and the look in his eyes became serious. He was not in a hurry to use the spiritual strength finger. After all, it was his life saving technique and he had just arrived at a foreign place. He did not know what would happen. Seeing that the silk clothing on the flying sword was quickly approaching, Han Yan slapped his waist and the green small sword suddenly flew out. It quickly formed a seal and the small sword hummed, transforming into a green afterimage as it charged straight at Dong Juan.
Only when a person's speed reached a certain point could an afterimage appear, and magic tools were the same. The green small sword's speed was astonishing, in a blink of an eye it arrived in front of Dong Juan. Even though Han Yan was controlling it, he couldn't help but gasp at its speed. This was because Han Yan felt that as long as he was not careful, the small sword would fly out of the range of his divine sense.
At this moment, when the silk was still ten meters away from Han Yan, the small sword had already arrived in front of him.
Dong Juan's face changed greatly, she never thought that Han Yan would have such a magical equipment, she was already too late to use any magical techniques, and immediately shouted: Wait!
Han Yan did not stop his attacks, his gaze sweeping across the incoming silk cloth.
Dong Juan's face changed, he immediately formed a seal, telling the silk cloth to stop attacking. As soon as the silk stopped, the green small sword came to her side. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, if she had been even a step slower, she would have died under her opponent's small sword. Dong Juan couldn't understand, the other party clearly only had Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage, how could he control such a terrifying magical equipment.
The more powerful a magical equipment was, the more spiritual power it would require to use it.
Although Dong Juan was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, with her eyes, she could see that the green small sword had an array on it, and the sacred art inside the array was its speed. Dong Juan had cultivated for so many years, but had never seen such a terrifying speed artefact. Just now, if Han Yan had continued her attacks, she had no doubt that she would have died under the attacks of the green small sword.
Han Yan did not continue his attack, but took out his magical equipment, stared at Dong Juan, and spoke word by word: "Senior, I do not know if you will still persevere on with the decision you made just now?" By doing this, he had already anticipated that Dong Juan would take revenge on him in the future. However, Han Yan was not worried, he only wanted to be able to cultivate in the Profound Immortal Sect. If Dong Juan were to make a move in the future, he did not mind killing him.
Dong Juan's face was filled with hesitation, if he did not agree to Han Yan's attack, he would definitely die under his attack, if he agreed, he would not be willing to accept it. Seeing the impatience in Han Yan's eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, I …" She was just about to agree when a powerful spiritual force fluctuation came from outside the cave. After which, the formation collapsed and a purple figure emerged from thin air.
Han Yan's figure tightened, and with a step, he quickly dodged to the side. When he saw the person who had arrived, he was slightly startled, and said: "It's you!"
The person who came was none other than the Meng Ruyan whom he had just met. She still had a tempting look on her face as she smiled and said: "Why, if you can come, then can't I come?" Her cultivators were truly shocking, especially those who were good at capturing cultivators' Qi, just now, she had relied on the bit of Qi left behind by Han Yan to find her way here.
Dong Juan's face darkened, he immediately cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Disciple Dong Juan greets Master."
Meng Ruyan didn't even look at Dong Juan, and said to Han Yan: "You're really quite capable, to actually be able to force my disciple to such a state." After she finished speaking, she waved her wrist, and the magic tool floating in front of Dong Juan flew into her hand. She touched it for a while and asked Han Yan: "Where did you get this magic tool from?"
Han Yan's eyes flashed, and said: "I bought this from a cultivator."
Meng Ruyan carefully observed Han Yan. Seeing Han Yan frown, she said, "Your magic tool has three types of acceleration formations, and it's not much different from a common magic treasure. To be able to buy such a treasure, your luck seems to be pretty good." With that, she tossed the small green sword over to Han Yan, and then added, "This small sword has already surpassed top quality magic tools, and there is even a trace of a magic tool soul within it. It's probably only like this after a cultivator failed to refine a magic treasure. "Why don't you refine it? It might be able to be used as a life-saving magic tool, or even a magic treasure.
Han Yan didn't have a clear understanding of the concept of magic tools and treasures. He only knew that Qi Cultivation Stage and foundation-building stage cultivator could only use magic tools, and only those with golden core stage s and above could use magic tools. Intrinsic Magic Weapon required blood essence to be refined, and after refinement, the mind and soul would be the same. As the cultivator grew stronger, the power of the treasure would increase along with the constant refinement. Of course, there was also a flaw in the lifeblood magic tool. If it was damaged in battle, its master would also be injured.
Han Yan only knew this much, while Dong Juan, who was at the side, knew even more than him. After hearing Meng Ruyan's words, her face was filled with envy. Even if it was a top-grade magic tool, it wouldn't amount to much in Taoism. If it was a magic tool that failed when refining a magic treasure, its value would be vastly different, especially when there was still a sliver of a Tool Souls inside, so its value would double once again.
Because magic tools were made up of only spirits, they couldn't be refined. Furthermore, the magic treasures that possessed Tool Souls were also unable to be refined by the Qi Cultivating Stage and the foundation-building stage cultivator. This kind of half finished product, which was between magic items and magic items, became a rare treasure for cultivators below the golden core stage. This was because once it was successfully refined, it was equivalent to owning half of a magic treasure. Not only could he unleash half of the power of the magic treasure, he could also use the divine ability contained within it, which was a spell laid out in the formation.
Han Yan didn't know why Meng Ruyan needed to talk about this with him, but the other party had reminded him of this with good intentions.
Meng Ruyan smiled, his laughter was extremely enchanting, causing everyone's bones to go soft. Han Yan did not like this type of enticement, and frowned continuously. Dong Juan seemed to be used to it, the expression on her face did not change at all. Waving her hand, the silk cloth returned to her body and quickly formed a seal. She grabbed the flying sword and threw it to Han Yan: "Fellow cultivator, please forgive the offense that you have committed."
Dong Juan was a smart person. Although she did not know why Meng Ruyan had appeared here, nor did she know if there was any relationship between the two of them, she was able to discern that her master was extremely interested in the guy in front of her. Dong Juan understood his Master's temper. Not only could he not offend people who were interested in him, he had to curry favor with them. Of course, this did not mean that she had forgotten about Han Yan's earlier attack. She was waiting until her master's interest in Han Yan disappeared, before she would make her move.
Han Yan kept his flying sword and threw it into the storage bag, while the green flying sword hovered above his body.
Meng Ruyan turned around and looked at Dong Juan, his eyes filled with praise, and then looked at Xu Han and smiled: "Put away your flying sword! With your current cultivation, adding the green small sword, you might be able to fight against an early stage Jindan Stage cultivator, but in front of me, you don't have the power to retaliate. " She frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Han Yan's current attitude.2
Han Yan did not waste any words, he immediately kept the green small sword and threw it into the center of the storage bag. Cultivator In Golden Pill Stage was indeed not someone that he could defeat at his level. When he first met Chu Fei, if not for the other party's carelessness and the appearance of the Nine-clawed dragon cat at the most crucial moment, he would have already died at the hands of the other party.
When Meng Ruyan saw Han Yan swiftly put away his magical equipment, his eyes quickly turned as he said: "Dong Juan, did he want to join your sect just now?"
Dong Juan did not dare to hide the truth from his master, and told him the whole story, and then said: "Just now, I rejected him, but seeing that his cultivation was truly not weak, disciple changed his mind, and decided to accept him."
"Did you really figure out his background?" Although Meng Ruyan liked to seduce people, he would never be ambiguous in dealing with key issues.
Dong Juan's heart thumped, and he quickly said: "This disciple still needs to ask clearly about the future, Master, please punish me." As he spoke, he was about to kneel on the ground.
Meng Ruyan waved his hand, signaling the other party to stand up. Then, he looked at Han Yan and slowly said: "You said that you came from the Tianming Sect. I believe this. When she said till here, her voice suddenly became serious, and she said: "However, Nalan family's soul-nourishing wood, will never be lent to outsiders.
Han Yan didn't even think as he patted the storage bag on his waist and it appeared in front of him. He grabbed it in his hand and looked at the crowd vigilantly.
Meng Ruyan's spiritual sense swept across the soul-nourishing wood and he finally believed that there were indeed two souls in the wood. From the faint aura being emitted from the wood, he could confirm that there was indeed a blood relation between the two of them. At this moment, Meng Ruyan finally understood why Han Yan's perseverance could endure the temptation. His parents were actually killed, and he was chased all the way here, so other than hatred, there was no other choice.
However, since Meng Ruyan wanted to snatch Han Yan away from her Junior Sister, she had her own methods. With her experience over the years, she could conquer Han Yan with just a few tricks, even if Han Yan's heart was as heavy as a boulder. Thinking about that, Meng Ruyan nodded towards Han Yan, indicating that he could keep the Purple Soul Wood, and said: "You must be cultivating techniques here!"
Han Yan did not hide anything and nodded: "That's right, I want to break through and reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."
Hearing that, Meng Ruyan's expression did not change, the interest in his eyes became even stronger. Dong Juan, who was at the side, let out a cold snort in his heart, and secretly ridiculed: "Look at your spiritual root, I'm afraid it's not even at the one star level. It's already a miracle that you can cultivate Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage.
"I didn't expect your dream to be so ambitious." Meng Ruyan smiled and said to Han Yan, "I don't know if you can reach Foundation Establishment, but before you reach Foundation Establishment, you have to solve the problem in your body."
Han Yan frowned, he did not tell anyone about the secret in his body, could it be that the other party found out?
Meng Ruyan did not wait for Han Yan to speak, and said: "Follow me, after you have resolved the problem in your body, come find Dong Juan here to cultivate your technique!"
Dong Juan was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Master, you want to take …"
Meng Ruyan shook his head, and said: "Do you think I would accept a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator as my disciple?" She smiled a charming smile. Then, with a wave of the jade wall, the clothes on her body fluttered gently. An enormous amount of spirit energy was released, carried out of the cave, and they disappeared from this world.
Looking in the direction in which the two of them had disappeared in, Dong Juan once again laid down a formation within the cave and coldly said: "Han Yan, the next time we meet, will be when you walk towards death." If it was a battle, she would not be Han Yan's match. But if she used the relationship between master and disciple to kill Han Yan, she had a thousand ways.
After Han Yan was swept out of the cave by the spirit energy, before he could clearly see his surroundings, a purple light flashed, and Meng Ruyan, who was half a meter away from him, suddenly appeared in front of him, hugging him tightly. Sensing the faint fragrance of his body, as well as the soft spot that he touched when his body made contact, Han Yan's body went numb.
Han Yan bit the tip of his tongue and his consciousness became clear. "Senior, this doesn't seem like a good idea, right?"
Meng Ruyan seemed to not care about that, and said indifferently: "What's wrong with that, we are all cultivators, we cannot have distracting thoughts!" Her words were half true and half false, making Han Yan unable to say what she said. Without waiting for Han Yan to think of a reason to refute his words, Meng Ruyan continued: "Your cultivation is too weak, if you keep using your spirit energy to fly, it will be too slow."
At this moment, the two of them had already flown to high school. If Han Yan were to look down, he would discover that the valley below them that was full of herbs, had just been there.
Meng Ruyan's flying body paused slightly before he threw out a sound transmitting s into the valley.
