Lord of Bones

Chapter 212 Returning to Yangyan City
The jumping arcs around the figure on the Nine Colors Divine Cauldron slowly subsided, and suddenly, another arc of lightning appeared beside him out of thin air.

He left the cauldron and stood on the flying blade, the thunder light under his feet was dazzling.

The four of Li Yunqing looked at the figure looming towards them from a distance, and the outline gradually appeared and became clear.

The figure gradually grew bigger, one inch, two inches, three inches...

"Xiao Yuan, you can use the imperial weapon. He has successfully broken through." Yuan Yao shouted excitedly, tugging on Li Yunqing's blue sleeve.

Li Yunqing's nose was sore, and mist appeared in his eyes.

Not long after, Li Yuan landed in front of them, his eyes swept across the crowd, and said, "Everyone, come and be safe."

"I'm sick. Look, I've been hungry and thin all these years." Yuan Yao hurriedly pointed at her thin arm.

Li Yunqing stepped forward, clutching Li Yuan's arm tightly with jade hands, his beautiful eyes were reddish, the mist of water that had risen before turned into two streams of spring water, flowing out, and an unconcealable joy welled up on his pretty cheeks.

"I'm fine." Li Yuan looked at Li Yunqing's lovable look, with a touch of softness on his handsome face, and said softly.

Li Yunqing didn't speak, but quietly grabbed Li Yuan's arm.

This time, they were separated for too long.

"Li Yuan, your breath?" Guan Tian frowned suddenly.

Shi Chen rubbed his head, also puzzled: "Why can't I feel the energy fluctuations on your body, just now I clearly saw your imperial weapon flying, could it be that my eyes are dazzled?"

Hearing this, Li Yunqing noticed Li Yuan's aura this time.

Li Yuan smiled and looked at them with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He noticed that the cultivation of Li Yunqing and the others had improved a lot, and he slowly explained: "The bones in my body have mutated, just like my little aunt.

"Others can't detect her specific level, but after I enter the Yuandan realm, I can hide the Yuanli fluctuations very well."

"Then what is your cultivation now?" Yuan Yao asked impatiently, Li Yuan's cultivation was closely related to her.

Taking a long breath, Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Yuan Dan is complete, but it is not yet stable, and it may take some time."

Hearing this, Yuan Yao cheered happily, excited and excited, and then hesitated: "You didn't lie to me?"

"Is it necessary for me to lie to you?" Li Yuan touched Yuan Yao's small head.

Shi Chen heaved a sigh of relief, waved his arms, and said, "I just thought you were going to leave us behind, it seems my worry is a bit unnecessary."

"You are not bad either, you are also at the Yuandan Realm Consummation. Little Auntie is also at the Yuandan Realm Consummation. Brother Guan has actually entered the middle stage of Nirvana Realm. I am afraid that in Daxia, there will be less than ten people who can beat you." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Guan Tian smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "After so many years, I haven't seen those old guys for more than 40 years, and I don't know how terrifying their strength has risen."

Although he said so, Guan Tian knew in his heart that it was impossible for them to improve their cultivation much.

The improvement of Nirvana realm cultivation base requires extremely huge resources.

Even in the middle of the Nirvana state more than 40 years ago, it was very rare to be able to reach the peak of the middle stage.

With the support of Li Yuan and the Li family, Guan Tian has obtained massive cultivation resources over the years.

In addition, his cultivation talent is extremely outstanding, which makes his strength improve faster.

"More than 40 years?" Li Yuan knew that he had spent a lot of time this time, "How long have I been in retreat?"

Guan Tian was only one hundred and one years old when he broke through Nirvana.

At that time, he had only left the capital for more than 20 years.

Yuan Yao looked unhappy, and said coquettishly: "You are embarrassed to ask, but you have waited for me badly! You have been in seclusion for 12 years. 12 years! Do you know?
"I have lived in this broken cave for 12 years."

As she spoke, she pointed to the cave behind her. The more she spoke, the more she felt wronged, tears were about to flow out.

"12 years? Fortunately, I didn't miss the time."

Li Yuan was startled when he heard this, but no surprise appeared on his face.

This is about the same as the ten years or so that Ling previously speculated.

"Has it been so long?" He touched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, open your mouth."

Yuan Yao's flushed little face immediately showed ecstasy, and immediately opened her small mouth.

Li Yuan made a small cut on his fingertip, a drop of blood came out, and with a light flick, the drop of blood flew into Yuan Yao's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the wound on the finger healed quickly and recovered as new, as if it hadn't been broken again, the repair ability can only be described as terrifying.

Yuan Yao, who swallowed that drop of blood, suddenly burst into green and blue silver light all over her body, and immediately turned into a cloud of mist, covering her petite body.

After a while, the green and blue-silver brilliance of the mist slowly subsided, turning into Yuan Yao's body again.

"This is the completion of the Yuan Dan realm! Dozens of times stronger than before." Yuan Yao jumped up and down.

The scene in front of them stunned Guan Tian and the others.

Although Li Yunqing was mentally prepared in the morning, the sudden change in Yuan Yao's cultivation was beyond her expectations.

Yuan Yao's body is the Nine Fantasy Abyss, a Yuan Beast conceived by the heavens and the earth. The spirit bone enters the body and endows it with vitality. Once born, it is the existence of a strong Yuanshen realm.

The effect of imprisoning the primordial pattern on her eggshell prevented her from breaking the shell smoothly when she woke up, resulting in illusory cultivation.

If Li Yuan hadn't used the life-eating bone of the spirit pattern to help her break out of the shell, she would have been trapped to death.

Because of helping her break the shell, coupled with Jiu Huanyuan's unique blood inheritance, Li Yuan has a wonderful connection with her. They share their cultivation bases and they can also fit together, causing their cultivation bases to skyrocket for a short time.

After the fusion, what level of cultivation can be reached, Ling does not know, but this method must have certain sequelae.

What consequences will be brought, the spirit still needs to deduce, and only when it reaches the step of fusion, can it be known.

So if it is not a last resort, fit together to improve your cultivation, try not to use it.

Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, smacked his lips, and said: "You can easily steal the cultivation base that I have improved through 12 years of hard work."

"Hmph!" Yuan Yao turned her head to one side, disapproving.

"Restrain your breath, don't be shy. If others see such a little girl who has reached the Yuandan Realm, they may cause trouble." Li Yuan reminded.

Yuan Yao clenched her small hands into small fists and yelled: "How many times have I told you that I am not a little girl. In a few months, I will be 45. Have you ever seen a little girl this old?"

She was not forgiving, but she still restrained her breath obediently.

For more than ten years, Yuan Yao's appearance and height have not changed at all, she is still sixteen or seventeen years old.

Li Yuan clicked his chin, pondered for a moment, looked sideways at Li Yunqing, and asked, "Little aunt, my breakthrough took longer than expected. I wonder if Ma Zhitian is still alive?"

Li Yunqing thought for a while, and replied: "If the Ma family hadn't encountered any mishaps, they should still be alive with a lifespan of 200 years in the Yuandan realm. I just don't know if they will break through to the Nirvana realm."

Hearing this, Li Yuan shook his head slightly, sneered, and said, "With his cultivation talent, it is absolutely impossible to advance to Nirvana, unless he finds a powerful existence like Cang Yu to help him."

"Just ask me for help." Ling echoed in Li Yuan's heart.

"What's the matter with you here." Retorting Ling Ling in his heart, Li Yuan looked at Guan Tian, ​​"Brother Guan, thank you for guarding here for 12 years. You go back to Li Zhen first, and my little aunt and I will deal with it Personal enmity 20 years ago.

"At most one day, I will find you and refine the elixir for you. When the time comes, you can go wherever you want. After all these years, you should also go back to the capital to have a look."

"It's easy to do." Guan Tian waved his hand and said with a smile, "If it weren't for you, I would have fallen ten years ago, and I would still be in the middle stage of Nirvana now. Since you have important things to do, don't let them go."

After finishing speaking, Guan Tian bowed his hands to Li Yuan and the others, and with a flip of his palm, the ancient Qingxuan halberd flew out from Yunjie, and then the imperial halberd flew southwest.

Watching Guan Tian leave, Li Yuan said lightly: "Xiao Yaoyao, the three of us, thank you for your hard work."

Yuan Yao froze for a moment when she heard the words, pointed at herself, and asked doubtfully, "Me?"

"It's eight hundred miles from here to Yangyan City. Do you want us to fly back to Yangyan City by ourselves? Aren't you afraid that I'll be tired?" Li Yuan leaned into Yuanyao's ear and whispered, "Ling said, you Hurry up."

"What do you mean? I still want to carry this big man?" Yuan Yao pointed at Shi Chen.

Li Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll just carry you this time, and let him carry you every day in the future."

Yuan Yao chopped off her feet, knowing that she couldn't refuse, so she could only bear it, and immediately turned into mist, and then turned into Jiu Huanyuan's main body, which was one foot high at head and shoulders, and two feet long.

"So big?" Li Yunqing looked at Yuan Yao who had turned into a body, and said in surprise.

Li Yuandao: "Jiuhuanyuan can change the size of its body at will. Before crossing the catastrophe, although it can't reach a hundred feet, it is still sixty or seventy feet. Let's go."

He lightly touched Jiu Huanyuan's neck, his feet hid on the ground, and he jumped up and landed on the latter's back.

Li Yunqing flew down and sat in front of Li Yuan.

Shi Chen froze for a while, then jumped up cautiously.

He used his energy to affect the surrounding space, suspended himself in the air, and slowly and gently landed on Jiu Huanyuan's back, for fear of angering this little ancestor, otherwise, there would be no good fruit to eat later.

Jiuhuanyuan's huge wings fluttered, the sound was piercing, and it flew westward, and its huge body disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

.........

at dusk.

The red sun gradually faded from its scorching light, and slowly fell towards the place where the sky and the earth meet.

Over the bustling Yangyan City, there are faintly visible stars.

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched out the shadows of the buildings in the city, and scattered lights lit up.

Outside the south gate, four uncoordinated figures slowly approached the gate.

Walking to the bottom of the city gate, Li Yuan stopped and looked up at the five big characters "Yangyan City South Gate" above the city gate with traces of time.

"Little aunt, after 20 years, we are finally back." Li Yuan looked sideways at Li Yuanqing and said with emotion.

Li Yunqing nodded slightly, looked at the streets in the city through the city gate, and said in his heart: "Yangyan City, we are back again."

Step through the city gate passage, stand on the busy street, feel everything here, revealing a familiar taste.

"Xiao Yuanzi, Yangyan City hasn't changed much in the past 20 years." Li Yunqing recalled the scene when he first came to Yangyan City more than 20 years ago. Seeing such a large-scale city, he was like falling into the clouds.

"Ouch!" Yuan Yao yelled suddenly, pulling Li Yunqing back from his thoughts.

"Yuan Yao, haven't you recovered yet?" Li Yunqing asked with concern.

Rubbing her shoulders, hammering her legs, and twisting a small waist, Yuan Yao frowned, and said slowly: "I don't know, I feel uncomfortable all over, my bones hurt, and sometimes I feel like I'm going to die. Maybe it's because I'm tired. Come on! It's okay, just take a rest."

Yuan Yao responded briefly, then walked quickly to the front of the group of people, stopped, leaned forward slightly, sniffed with her nose, and shouted loudly: "The smell of prosperity."

Looking back, she waved at Shi Chen and said, "Big guy, follow up."

Hearing this, Shi Chen strode up to follow, Yuan Yao spun around and landed on Shi Chen's shoulder, a pair of little feet almost couldn't stand still, and they swayed several times in a row.

"Big man, I'm not good. If it weren't for me, you would not be able to see the sunset when you come here." Yuan Yao was proud.

Shi Chen nodded again and again and had no choice but to accept.

Yuan Yao took the three of them to the outside of Yangyan City from the depths of the Qingzhai Mountains, which is eight hundred miles away, during tea time.

Even if Shi Chen turns into the body of a heavenly spirit beast, he still has to run for an hour.

Yuan Yao, who was standing on Shi Chen's shoulder, patted her rock-like head with her small hands, and directed Shi Chen to wander around in the street with a little pretense.

Looking at the backs of the two going away, Li Yuan and Li Yunqing looked at each other and smiled.

Soon, the smile on Li Yuan's face turned serious, he frowned and looked at the small figure on Shi Chen's shoulder, and asked in his heart: "Ling, is Xiao Yaoyao not suitable for flying with her own body?"

"Before breaking through to the primordial spirit state, it may not be suitable. I don't know if there will be any sequelae this time." Ling worried, and then added, "Probably not!"

In the forest dozens of miles outside the city, Jiuhuanyuan landed and turned into a human form, almost fainting.

Apparently, even a short flight seemed to put a huge load on Yuan Yao's body, and Ling's heart sank, which she hadn't expected before.

.........

Yangyan City, the Ma family's meeting hall.

A dozen or so figures, almost all dressed in red robes, with a small knife logo wrapped in fire patterns on the cuffs, all of Yuandan realm cultivation bases, sat around the huge table in the center of the hall.

"Crench!"

Inside the hall, an inner door opened, and Ma Zhitian walked out from it. Although he was quite old, his face was red and happy.

A dozen or so figures stood up immediately, and said respectfully in unison: "Congratulations to the patriarch!"

Ma Zhitian nodded slightly, quite satisfied, walked to the table, waved his hand lightly, and said, "Sit down and talk."

When everyone sat down, he smiled, glanced at everyone, and continued: "I never thought that this old man would be able to advance to the peak of Yuan Dan Realm. It's just that there is not much life left, and Nirvana may be hopeless, but among you, Some people can hit."

Ma Zhitian's eyes moved quickly, and finally stopped on the last position on the right, on a middle-aged woman with a pretty appearance, and said: "For example, Wanjie, who is only 59 years old this year, has stepped into the Yuandan realm, which is the family's hope."

"The patriarch favored Wanjie, and I only broke through to Yuandan Realm a few days ago. Nirvana Realm is too far away." Ma Wanjie stood up, smiled sweetly, and bowed to Ma Zhitian.

"You have to have confidence in yourself." Ma Zhitian raised his hand, let Ma Wanjie sit down, put away the smile on his face, and showed a little sadness, "If Zhihai is still there, he should have a cultivation level in the late Yuandan stage. He is Most likely to enter Nirvana."

When everyone heard the words, they nodded silently. The atmosphere suddenly became much quieter, and the joy before was gone.

Ma Zhitian was slightly absent-minded, he held Ma Zhihai in high regard, and had always planned to hand over the position of patriarch to him after his death.

"Patriarch, Elder Zhishan and Elder Zhihai fell in Xiaoxing Mountain 13 years ago. Is it related to the beast tide that year?"

In the quiet hall, someone suddenly made a sound, still discussing this matter.

The deaths of Ma Zhishan and Ma Zhihai are still unbearable for the Ma family. Both of them have reached the middle stage of the Yuan Dan realm.

What's more, Ma Zhihai was young, so his death could be said to have dealt a greater blow to Ma Zhitian than the death of his three grandchildren.
