The moon is like water.
Lights are scattered.
Jintuo Lane, which used to have many vacant houses, is now all occupied.
What remains unchanged is that it is quiet every night, except for the footsteps of patrol sergeants walking through the streets and alleys from time to time.
Courtyard No. 13, training room.
Yuan Zhiqing sat cross-legged on the futon, frowning slightly.
She has been in Qingyang for more than four months. She has inquired about Zhong Yan's past in Qingyang City through various channels, and even met him at the Hakka Mansion Conference.
Although Zhong Yan used 'Void Concealment' to cover up the fluctuations in his aura.
However, this technique is only applicable to within twice the intensity of spiritual consciousness.
In other words, if someone else's consciousness exceeds twice the caster's consciousness, the secret technique will be ineffective.
Therefore, with her spiritual consciousness, she could see through Zhong Yan's realm at a glance, and he was not some hidden master.
The Fifth Senior Sister Pei Nanjin, who was more advanced than her, had already met her before, but her words were evasive when asked.
This made her realize that the so-called 'hidden strong man' was just an excuse.
Suddenly, there was a fluctuation in the storage bag.
With a glance of consciousness, Yuan Zhiqing's eyes flashed with nervousness, she took a breath and took out the talisman.
"Why didn't you go to Zhongfu?"
"Sister, Zhong Yan seems to be only at the seventh level of Qi Refining."
"How can a strong man play in the world of mortals and let others see through it easily?"
Yuan Zhiqing's eyes dimmed, she remained silent for a while, and said, "Senior Sister taught me a lesson."
Su Yue: "Wufeng came to propose marriage again today. The two factions in the sect are in constant conflict and cannot be reconciled. A split will happen sooner or later."
"At that time, Jiufeng may fall apart and everyone will look for a place to go."
"Lao Wu and Lao Liu, I will arrange for them to practice outside for a long time."
"Qing'er, you were raised by me and my master, how can I harm you?"
"If you know Zhong Yan's true identity, you can protect your innocence."
"If you still don't want to, come back and I'll ask Nan Jin to take your place."
Yuan Zhiqing bit her lip and replied with a condensed voice: "Qing'er understands, I'll go to Zhong Mansion."
Late at night.
Yuan Zhiqing, who was in a complicated mood, was walking in the deserted streets and unknowingly came to Cangbao Street.
After looking at the gate of Zhong Mansion from a distance, he was about to turn around and leave when a figure flashed at the door step by step. While he was stilling his figure, he turned around and saw an old man.
"Foundation building!"
"Very strong!"
Yuan Zhiqing's heart trembled, and she immediately remembered what the senior sister had just said - how could a strong man play in the mortal world so that others could easily see through it.
Zhongfu actually had contact with the foundation-building monks, and it was in the middle of the night.
She had been in Qingyang for several months and had yet to meet a foundation-building monk.
"Is he really a strong man hiding in the city?"
Yuan Zhiqing couldn't help but doubt her previous speculation. She looked away and walked away.
The person who came to the gate of Zhong Mansion was none other than Lin Zhengping of Huoyun Pavilion. He looked at the empty place on the street in the distance with suspicion in his eyes.
The belated guard saw a person appear out of thin air, his expression changed, he held the long knife at his waist and asked: "Who is coming!"
"Shop Manager Lin from Yangquanfang City, come to see Zhong Yan."
The two warriors looked at each other, hesitated for a moment and clasped their fists, one of them said: "Shopkeeper Lin, wait a moment!"
The other person rushed towards the house quickly.
Not long after.
Gu Baiyu came forward, recognized Lin Zhengping, and hurriedly saluted: "Junior has seen shopkeeper Lin, senior, don't be surprised, please come inside!"
…
the other side.
In the training room, Zhong Yan was carving formation patterns when Wen Yongshan hurried over and knocked on the stone door.
Click~
The white jade stone shattered.
Zhong Yan frowned and waved his hand to open the restricted portal.
Seeing her husband's cold expression, Wen Yongshan's heart tightened, and she took a breath and said: "Husband! Senior Lin from Huoyun Pavilion in Yangquanfang City came to visit. He has already sent you a stick of incense. I sent you a message but there was no response. At this moment, Qing Qing Sister Yao is receiving you!"
Zhong Yan was startled, and his consciousness swept towards the transmission talisman in the storage bag. He had indeed sensed fluctuations before, but he ignored it as he was carving formation patterns.
"at this time……"
With a murmur, Zhong Chang stood up, walked out, threw out the 'Red Rainbow Sword', and flew towards the outer courtyard, his eyes flickering.
He was quite surprised by Lin Zhengping's arrival.
He only talked about Xingyunwulian during the day, and came that night and visited the door in person instead of asking him to go to Fangshi.
"It seems that this transaction of spiritual veins is not as optimistic as expected..."
Arrive at the main hall of the First Chongyuan.
Zhong Yan quickly stepped forward and bowed his head in salute: "I've seen Elder Lin! The elder is here, and it's my disciple's fault if I can't welcome him from a distance!"
Lin Zhengping's pupils shrank unnoticeably, he had made another breakthrough so quickly, it was the late stage!
Is this still the outer disciple of the Four Spiritual Roots who has stayed at the third level of Qi Refining for eighteen years?
Suppressing his surprise, he waved his hand and glanced at Yu Qingyao and Gu Baiyu.
Zhong Yan understood: "You guys go down."
After the two left, Lin Zhengping waved his hand to condense the soundproof shield and asked directly: "Are you sure it's Xingyun Wulian?"
Zhong Yan stepped forward to add some tea and nodded.
"Where's the stuff?"
"Not yet mature."
"where?"
Zhong Yan didn't answer.
Lin Zhengping asked again: "Is there a branded image gathering talisman?"
Zhong Yan said: "No, there is a guardian monster. I am afraid that the treasure will be damaged. It is too far away to brand it. It is indeed a four-leaf fog lotus. Otherwise, the disciple will not speak to the elder easily."
After a pause, he added: "But in that position, it is easy for the elders to collect herbs."
Lin Zhengping nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. He looked over and said with a faint smile, "Aren't you afraid that I will search for souls and kill people to hide treasures?"
"My disciple's life is cheap. He has survived to this day and achieved this level of success. He has already made a lot of money."
Zhong Yan grinned, then stopped looking at her, and said calmly: "I told Su Yue, if anything happens to me, it will be you."
Lin Zhengping sneered at the corner of his mouth: "You should have investigated me through your connections, right? Do you think she would stand up for you and end up fighting me, even to the point of life and death?"
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "The elders know the relationship between Li Lin and the disciples of Qifeng better than I do. I had a night of fun with Li Lin, and before we left, she promised me a return date for the engagement. According to this calculation, Su Yong is still my junior. ,What do you think?"
"..." Lin Zhengping squinted his eyes, thinking that there might be an affair between Zhong Yan and Li Lin, but he didn't expect such a 'promise'.
You have to know how much determination Li Lin has to make when facing the cultivation world of Yan country when a Foundation-Building Dzogchen is combined with a Qi-refining monk?
And as Zhong Yan said, the relationship between Qifeng is deep. Li Lin and Su Yue are as close as sisters, and the three disciples below are raised and raised by two people, who teach and spread the law. They are master and disciple, like mother and daughter.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Zhong Yanxin was lying, and the truth was also half truth and half false - there was an agreement, but it was a one-night stand.
The two looked at each other.
Their eyes intertwined.
It's quite a bit confrontational.
Not long after.
Zhong Yan regained his respect, grinned and said: "Since the elder showed up late at night to meet, I think it was a normal transaction, and the disciple is willing to hear the details."
"You kid!"
Lin Zhengping laughed angrily and asked, "Why not find Qifeng?"
Zhong Yan said: "I don't know the date of Li Lin's return. The favor will fade over time, so naturally I will save it for the critical moment of life and death."
Lin Zhengping nodded slightly, pondered a little and said seriously: "I want to use Wulian, but I don't have spiritual veins in my hand at the moment. I can give you the soul search technique and skills first. The spiritual veins can be replaced by my three favors. What do you think? ?”
You are so kind!
Zhong Yan was slandered in his heart.
If the other party still has similar cultivation level as before, and is now at the peak of the second level of foundation building, even if he has a lot of connections, the world is not the same as before.
As for strength, Pei Nanjin can still do what he can do.
Zhong Yan still remembers what Pei Nanjin said before he left. If there is an emergency, it should be no problem to find her.
However, seeing Lin Zhengping's serious expression, he pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then asked, "May I ask the elder what the Wulian is used for?"
…
