Five Immortals Gate

Li Yan stared at the sky. He had just stopped practicing for a while. He watched the clouds roll and the geese fly high.

Feeling the breeze blowing from the lake, the fresh smell of the surrounding grass lingered on his nose, and the pure land appeared in his mind. He remembered a long time ago...

It seemed like a dream, a dream that was too far away. When he was still a teenager, he would often go to the hillside outside the village with his fourth sister.

When he was busy and tired, he would lie on the grass slope with grass in his mouth, looking at the sky, imagining that he would become the most powerful hunter in the village like Uncle Guo Xin...

And the fourth sister would be not far away, humming a nice folk song, still like a cheerful bird, constantly harvesting some grass!

Afterwards, from time to time, she would bundle some grass neatly, and at noon or in the evening, Li Yan would be responsible for carrying the grass home.

At that time, along the way, the fourth sister would jump happily, occasionally waving a sickle in her hand, the two braids on her head swaying up and down, and her silver bell-like laughter echoed between heaven and earth...

Li Yan looked at the sky. In the blue sky, Li Yan actually saw a few vaguely familiar faces, but those faces had begun to blur.

Even though he was a cultivator, some memories began to become unclear, because there were some people or things that he deliberately stopped thinking about for a period of time.

"Fourth sister, third brother, father... mother..."

Although Li Yan still had green grass in his mouth, his eyes gradually began to blur. He hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.

So he probably wouldn't practice here for a long time, but he liked to wait and see here to feel the changes in his mood.

Being calculated by others all day, or calculating to kill others, seemed to have become something he often had to consider now. In his eyes, life was no longer so awe-inspiring.

As for the memories that had kept him simple, he had buried them deep in his heart long before he decided not to go to the small mountain village again.

Recalling the past would only make him regretful. He had never thought that the trip to the mountain village during the foundation building would become his last warmth!

A trip to the mountain village has since become a swan song of yin and yang, which was a huge blow to Li Yan after he returned from the demon world...

Li Yan maintained this posture, lying in the grass on the slope, so that outsiders would see that he was a rare leisurely look.

But no one could see that his eyes were staring at the sky, which was already blurred...

After an unknown period of time, Li Yan slowly sat up, spit out the grass in his mouth, and walked towards the lake below.

He scooped a handful of clear water on his face, and a coolness immediately refreshed Li Yan's spirit. This was what he often did when he encountered a mountain stream when hunting in Daqing Mountain.

That would instantly clear away all the fatigue he had felt from chasing prey, and he would be back to being a young and arrogant man.

Li Yan stood up, wiped his face, shook off the water on his hands, and looked back at the hillside, only to see Bai Rou standing there quietly.

The woman was as light as water, her white skirt fluttering gently, and she was looking at him with a smile.

"Junior brother, let's go!"

Bai Rou's voice came from above, her voice was not loud, but it floated in the morning breeze...

While saying this, Bai Rou glanced around with her beautiful eyes, she knew she was leaving here, and she still had too many things to do.

Li Yan has now reached the realm of refining emptiness, and if she wants to improve quickly, she will of course have to rely on the resources of the Wuliang Sect.

Li Yan just swayed, and the next moment he was in front of Bai Rou, and then stood side by side with Bai Rou, and then looked at the lake in front of him.

Feeling the breath of Zi Nan beside her, Bai Rou's heartbeat accelerated again, but her expression had not changed.

"This is a good place to cultivate the mind. Let's rearrange the teleportation array and see if we can keep it here..."

Li Yan also smiled and nodded. It was time to leave, but he stopped talking before he finished. He turned his head gently, and Bai Rou also turned her head back.

At this time, in front of the gate of the fenced courtyard on the slope, a little head was quietly poking out. When he found the two people on the grass below the slope, he suddenly turned his head and looked over, and the little head suddenly shrank back.

After Li Yan saw it, he thought of what he wanted to say just now. His eyes flickered several times in succession, and then his voice came out.

"Little guy, come over here?"

His voice was not very high, but it was unusually clear. Bai Rou did not speak. Although she didn't know what Li Yan was going to do?

But it was obviously not intended to kill it. She knew that the other party also understood what they had just said. Just after Li Yan finished speaking, the little head that had shrunk into the door appeared again.

It was a fiery red fox head. Its eyes were clearly full of hesitation, but in the next moment, the whole body flashed out.

Then, it walked carefully towards the two people at the bottom of the hill. At this time, the injuries on the back and neck of the fiery red little fox had completely recovered.

It was just that the newly grown fiery red hair was lower than other parts of the body and looked very sparse.

Under the magic pill, its injuries had long been healed. At the same time, it was also strange that this was the first time it had not felt any hunger for such a long time.

So these days, it would occasionally go out of the courtyard, but the farthest was only near the lake. It could feel that there was a presence deep in the vast forest that made it fearful.

But this pair of men and women sit on the grass slope in front of the lake every day for a long, long time, so it will look at the backs of the two people from a distance.

It seems that as long as these two people exist, the beings in the forest that scare him will not dare to approach here at all, and this is indeed the case.

Those two people seem to contain boundless power. With just a wave of their hands, the other person can easily kill him...

Looking at the fiery little fox getting closer and closer, Li Yan did not urge him.

But it wasn't until the other party stopped a few feet away from them and looked at the two of them in awe that Li Yan nodded.

"Well, little guy, you have seized the opportunity. Now that you have some intelligence and can sense whether we have murderous intentions and are still cowering, even if I won't kill you.

But later on, you will be expelled from this courtyard and put into the forests ahead.

As for your life and death later, it all depends on your luck. We are here only because of you. Saving your life is actually worth it. "

Li Yan still said softly that he had just planned to cover up the courtyard behind him, so naturally he could not allow this beast to exist in it.

After Bai Rou heard Li Yan's words, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up. She completely understood what Li Yan meant.

The little flaming red fox was confused, but he understood the words to put it into the forest. He couldn't help but tuck his tail, and the flaming red hair all over his body was instantly attached to his body.

Suddenly, an impulse arose in its heart to escape back to the fenced compound immediately, but if the other person spoke in front of it, it felt that it would be of some benefit to itself.

Still suppressing the panic in his heart, he let out a whimper in his mouth, lowered his head, and when his ears were pressed down, he half raised his face and looked forward in a flattering manner.

"If you can come here, then I will give you an opportunity. As for which step you can reach in the end, that is your own destiny.

I will check your spiritual roots first, and then open up your spiritual wisdom. You will understand all this later! "

While Li Yan was speaking, he gently stretched out a finger and tapped it towards the fiery red fox.

In the frightened eyes of the red fox, it saw a flash of blue light, which quickly enlarged in its eyes, and then... it completely lost consciousness!

When the little fiery red fox woke up, it just turned its eyes slightly and found itself lying in a familiar courtyard.

In front of it, there were two people looking at it. The moment it saw their faces clearly, it suddenly became excited and jumped up.

The moment it woke up, it clearly remembered the time when the man had suddenly stretched out a finger towards itself, and there was a flash of green light on the fingertip, and then it was here.

"What did he do to me?"

This clear reaction immediately appeared in the little flaming fox's consciousness.

"What? Can you feel that your consciousness is different?"

Just when the little red fox subconsciously turned over and jumped up, the man's voice came again.

At the same time, another voice suddenly intertwined in the little flaming fox's consciousness.

"Next, I will say some words. You have to remember them carefully. The more you remember, the better it will be for you, so that you can have more ability to save your own life!"

But this voice is the same as the voice heard in the ears now, those words that were still unclear and somewhat unclear before.

At this moment, after the voice entered its mind, it understood a lot in an instant, so the little fox's body froze, and then fell heavily to the ground.

But it seemed completely unaware of the pain, just staring blankly at the two people standing in front of it, while Li Yan and Bai Rou were also watching its actions.

They were also judging the other party's spiritual intelligence. After a few breaths, a faint smile appeared in Bai Rou's eyes.

The dull look on the red fox's face faded, but suddenly he bent his two forelimbs and knelt down towards her and Li Yan.

At the same time, it made a "squeaking" sound in its mouth, but there was obviously excitement in its eyes.

"It seems that you have understood what will happen next, but I have something to say. This gift of yours is acceptable, but it is just an opportunity for you. You and I will not have any inheritance. You must keep this in mind. .

There is a set of cultivation methods for demon cultivators. I will put it into your sea of ​​consciousness. There will also be some pills here later, but they will be imprisoned together with this courtyard.

With your current weak strength, the elixirs are given to you for safekeeping. Whether you return to the valley where you came from or stay here, you cannot protect these elixirs.

Outside the valley, it is estimated that since the goshawk has discovered you and is not sure to kill you, it will often patrol the sky.

But I can't help you kill it. You should want to kill it yourself, which will make you feel more enlightened in the future.

You can't understand this yet, but just do it according to your heart.

And there are too many more powerful beasts here. After we leave, just the smell of the elixir will make them crazily try to break into this place, which is enough to kill you thousands of times.

Therefore, before you succeed in practicing, you must be sealed here together with the elixirs, so that the breath of the elixirs cannot spread out. You can also practice through these elixirs.

When your cultivation reaches the second level, you will be able to freely enter and leave here through the method I leave in your sea of ​​consciousness. Do you understand? "

Li Yan said softly, and the little fiery red fox nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Through this period of time, Li Yan saw that Senior Sister Bai liked this place very much, and the environment here actually cleansed Li Yan's mood.

This allowed Li Yan to remove most of the murderous intentions that had accumulated in his heart over the years, and his thoughts became clearer.

Since it was difficult for outsiders to enter here, he simply sealed it and covered up the teleportation arrays at both ends.

But when he saw the little fox, he thought that since this little beast also had intelligence, it was the other party who discovered this place.

Then if it can grow up, it can protect this place. However, if the little fox is killed by someone one day, there will be nothing to say.

As for this place, it doesn't matter whether he or Senior Sister Bai will come here in the future. It's like the secret realm of Uncle Qianzhong in the lower world.

Even if he doesn't use it, he doesn't want to leave it to others to enter at will. This is the selfish idea of ​​many monks.

Although Li Yan is not a demon cultivator, he has read too many classics and exercises. Of course, he has memorized many of the more common demon cultivators.

It's just that after he explored the little fox's spiritual root before, he found that although he also had a fox clan skill in his hand, it was a special ice skill and was not suitable for him.

The little fox's spiritual root attribute was beyond Li Yan's expectation. It turned out to be a very rare heavenly spirit root, which belongs to the dual system of fire and gold.

This made Li Yan and Bai Rou very surprised after repeated confirmation, but neither of them had any intention of accepting a demon cultivator as their disciple.

Li Yan said that it was because the sect was too special and he himself did not know how to establish a sect, so naturally he was unwilling to accept disciples outside of the Five Elements.

But Bai Rou felt that her strength was too low and she needed more time to practice. Currently, Li Zhaoyan alone was enough.

After Li Yan thought about it for a while, he chose a technique that was good at Yang Huo Lie and belonged to the "Eight Paths Wolf" clan.

"After you succeed in cultivation, you are not allowed to kill all the wild beasts here, but you only need to take good care of this place. This is also my last request to you.

Otherwise, many of the resources here will slowly disappear in the future. You can also make them become monsters, but you need to control their level growth..."

Li Yan gave the little fox an order again, and the fiery red fox kept nodding its little head...

A few days later, Li Yan and Bai Rou stepped on the "Cloud Piercer" again and flew away quickly in the air.

In the past few days, the two of them have rearranged the formations at both ends. Now, even if another monk enters the crevices of the valley and mountains, it will be difficult to find the "Broken Star Formation" again.

Regarding this place, both Li Yan and Bai Rou know that they are just passers-by and may never come again in the future.

But what cultivators pay attention to is to do whatever comes naturally. If you do whatever comes to you, then just do it.

…………

Runyufang City, this is a large-scale city. The city is controlled by a second-rate sect and covers an area of ​​more than a hundred miles.

With the scale of a city like this, within a radius of 100,000 miles, it can be considered a very large city.

Guan Junyi and Guan Manzheng were standing in front of their temporary stalls. There were some puppets placed on them. Some of these puppets were as big as an adult's hand, while the smaller ones were only as big as a finger.

The shape of the puppets on the stall did not look very exquisite, and there were only a dozen or so in number.

Guan Junyi and Guan Man are both only fifteen or sixteen years old, and one of them is in the late stage of foundation building and the other is in the middle stage of foundation building.

Guan Junyi looks very fair. Although he is not handsome, he has clear features, slender limbs, and very smart eyes. He looks very smart at first glance.

Guan Man, on the other hand, has a face as fair as a melon seed. She is already tall and graceful. She wears a long emerald green dress, which makes her full of youthfulness.

There is no shortage of small stalls like theirs in every market, and there are often many people setting up stalls.
