I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 404: Meeting an Old Friend (Subscription Request)

His cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Yin Shen.

For Chen Yan, he needs to start preparing for a breakthrough in Yang Shen.

That is to say, prepare enough Earthly Evil Yin Veins and, most importantly, the extremely Yang-attributed natural treasures needed to break through the Yang God.

Although the former Earthly Evil Yin Veins are also very rare, but after the opening of the inner world, the underworld is at least not short of Earthly Evil Yin Veins. As long as enough time is spent, they can always be collected.

However, the natural treasures with extremely yang attributes are completely different.

At least up to now, there has been no news of the birth of any natural treasure with extremely yang attributes in the inner world of the Netherworld.

And for top Yang God forces such as the Taoist Alliance, Vajra Temple, and Qingyun Sect, natural treasures with extremely Yang attributes are also scarce and extremely rare.

So even if Chen Yan wanted to buy it, he might not be able to.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Chen Yan has enough resources to purchase it.

"We can only see if there is anything in the inner world first. With the revival of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the ancient relics hidden deep in the inner world should also come to light. It is said that the inheritance of the netherworld is very long, and there were also powerful immortals in ancient times. There should be no shortage of treasures with the most yang attribute."

Standing in the sea of ​​souls, Chen Yan's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

"If it doesn't work, I can only think of a solution from the Book of Merit. I don't know if there are any natural treasures with Yang attributes in the Book of Merit. If so, how many merit points are needed to exchange them?"

"Uh...but it seems that the merit points are not enough..."

But then, Chen Yan suddenly realized that he had very little merit left. He consumed 400,000 merits in succession to exchange for four "Blessings from Heaven". It could be said that the 400,000 merits that Chen Yan had accumulated with great difficulty to destroy the Silver Jade Villa were once again consumed.

Even if the Book of Merit really contains natural treasures with extremely yang attributes, Chen Yan currently does not have enough merit to exchange for them.

"We have to find a way to gain some merits. However, as more and more foreign cultivators come here, there must be some extremely vicious ones among them. Killing one or two Yangshen Zhenjuns from the Demon Sect or Ghost Path should be enough merits for us."

Chen Yan thought with a thoughtful look.

If other people knew what Chen Yan was thinking at this moment, they would probably be horrified.

Has Yangshen Zhenjun become a unit of measurement nowadays?
Closer to home.

For Chen Yan now, there are only two things he needs to do. One is to collect as many evil Yin veins as possible, and at the same time, pay attention to the news whether there are any natural treasures with extremely yang attributes coming out in the inner world.

The other is to find out the news about some extremely vicious demonic and ghost monks, preferably those who have reached the level of the initial Yang God after the ninth refinement of the Yin God. This will make it easier for Chen Yan to gain merit through "righteous punishment".

After determining the goals for the next period of time, Chen Yan withdrew his consciousness from the sea of ​​​​soul.

"Rumble..."

The dull sound of thunder resounded throughout the sky above Thunder Bluff.

The colorful lightning was like a group of giant pythons, shuttling back and forth through the clouds.

Since he reached the ninth level of Yin Shen Refining, Chen Yan seemed more and more calm in this environment filled with endless thunder power.

When his consciousness returned from the sea of ​​soul, Chen Yan did not stand up immediately, but looked forward.

Just three feet in front of Chen Yan, there was a talisman that looked like a small sword floating in the air. It was actually a sound transmission sword.

In fact, this sound transmission sword had arrived a month ago, but Chen Yan was at a critical moment in his cultivation at that time and had no time to care about other things. In addition, he sensed the state of Yi Mu's spirit body and confirmed that it was intact, so he guessed that it should not be a matter of life and death for Laoshan, so he did not stop his cultivation to check.

Now that his retreat was over, Chen Yan naturally had time to see why the sound transmission sword wanted to find him.

In fact, if it really was a matter of life and death for Xiangzhou, it would not be as simple as just sending out this sound transmission sword.

Chen Yan had already communicated with Yi Mu's spirit about how to notify him in case of life or death, so he understood that this sound transmission note device should be important but not particularly urgent.

With a hint of doubt, Chen Yan beckoned with his fingers and summoned the talisman sword into his hand. Then he sent out a wisp of spiritual consciousness into the talisman sword to read the contents inside.

In less than half an incense stick of time, Chen Yan withdrew his consciousness from the sound transmission sword, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"It turned out to be her..."

The sound transmission sword was sent by Yi Mu's spirit, and it was indeed not something particularly important.

It's just that an old friend wanted to see him.

Yes, this old friend was no other than the saintess of the Netherworld branch of the Rebirth Sect, Liu Xianer.

Speaking of Liu Xianer, Chen Yan almost forgot about this person.

Back when she was in Shanxi Town, Liu Xian'er was a member of the Rebirth Sect. At that time, a series of martial artists from Yiling County were all killed by the Painted Skin Demon. It was all the scheme of Wu Yan, the incense master of the Rebirth Sect. He used Liu Xian'er's fame to gather all the martial artists from Lingzhou to the vicinity of Shanxi Town.

Then, he used the flesh and blood of these martial artists to feed the Painted Skin Demon, allowing it to break through to the demon stage and destroy the entire Shanxi Town.

After the plan succeeded, Wu Yan gave up all his disciples in Shanxi Town.

Liu Xianer, one of the disciples of the Rebirth Sect, was eventually abandoned and failed to escape.

Later, Chen Yan and Liu Laodao teamed up to kill Painted Skin, and Chen Yan discovered Liu Xianer's identity.

However, Chen Yan did not end Liu Xianer's life at that time.

Because Chen Yan wanted to find out the news about the Rebirth Sect at that time, he intentionally let Liu Xian'er go.

Of course, Chen Yan didn't expect Liu Xian'er to release any information. Sparing Liu Xian'er's life was just a casual move.

At the beginning, Liu Xian'er still sent some news, asking Chen Yan to take out some strongholds within Yiling County.

But after Liu Xian'er went to Zhongzhou, there was no news from her anymore. Chen Yan thought that Liu Xian'er had been discovered and destroyed by the high-level officials of the Rebirth Sect.

Now it seems that this is not the case. Not only that, this woman seems to have other experiences. For some unknown reason, she has become the saint of the Netherworld's Rebirth Sect.

Yes.

This sound transmission sword was sent by Yi Mu's spirit, saying that Liu Xian'er, the saint of the Netherworld branch of the Rebirth Sect, came to pay a visit.

"Saint..."

There was a hint of thought in the depths of Chen Yan's eyes, and in his mind, vaguely flashed the image of that stunningly beautiful and charming figure from that year.

"interesting."

With a smile on his lips, Chen Yan put away the sound transmission sword in a flip of his hand.

Then, he looked up at the sky filled with thunderclouds, took a step forward without hesitation, used the Abyss Shrinking Technique, left Thunder Cliff, and headed straight for Laoshan in Xiangzhou...
-
This is a beautiful mansion located halfway up the Laoshan Mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, integrating the beauty of nature with the ingenuity of man. This mansion was originally used by a monk of the Laoshan Dao for his well-being. Later, the Laoshan Dao was destroyed by Chen Yan, and the mansion naturally became an ownerless land. However, due to its exquisite and gorgeous construction, it was preserved and used as Chen Yan's residence.

Although Chen Yan has never been there.

For Chen Yan, he doesn’t care whether the external conditions are comfortable or luxurious. Compared with these, Chen Yan is more concerned about more practical issues such as whether the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is more abundant.

So this first-class holiday resort became deserted.

Of course, there will be someone coming to clean every day to maintain a clean and tidy environment.

Speaking of this mansion, the pavilions and towers are scattered around and the layout is exquisite, just like a carefully painted landscape painting.

The area is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with the terrain high in the north and low in the south, forming a natural barrier and a broad vision. The north is backed by lush mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland; the south faces a wide river, with gurgling and sparkling water, which contrasts with the fields and forests in the distance.

The mansion is surrounded by high walls and deep courtyards, isolating the hustle and bustle of the outside world and creating a peaceful and private world.

Chen Yan returned to Laoshan, and accompanied by Zhang Tianzheng, he came to this mansion which was registered in his name but where he had never lived.

The reason for coming here is very simple.

Liu Xianer lives in it.

Yes.

A month ago, Liu Xianer visited Laoshan to seek a meeting with Chen Yan. However, after learning that Chen Yan was not in Laoshan, the saint of the Rebirth Sect did not leave, but actually stayed in this mansion, as if waiting for Chen Yan to appear after his retreat.

And this stay lasted for a whole month.

"Sir, Miss Liu...Saint Lady Liu is inside..."

Zhang Tianzheng said respectfully as he led Chen Yan all the way to the gate of the mansion.

Zhang Tianzheng originally wanted to say Miss Liu, but when he thought of the amazement he felt when he first saw Liu Xianer a month ago, and how Chen Yan was treating Liu Xianer at this moment, Zhang Tianzheng changed his words and called her the Saint.

It’s not that Zhang Tianzheng is afraid of the Rebirth Sect or anything like that.

Knowing that his master had never had a good impression of the Rebirth Sect, Zhang Tianzheng, as a subordinate, naturally maintained the same camp.

However, ever since the resurgence of spiritual energy in the Netherworld, the Wu Dynasty's presence has become increasingly weak. Today, the people of Jiuzhou only know about the sect but not the dynasty. In addition, there has been no news about the Rebirth Sect in all these years.

Therefore, most people in Kyushu have subconsciously forgotten the existence of the Rebirth Sect.

Of course, we still have the necessary precautions.

For example, around this mansion, there are dozens of Feiyu Guards secretly monitoring it.

Among them there are even some Jindan Feiyu Guards who are at the level of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

Although Liu Xian'er was an old friend of Shanxi, no one knew what the attitude of this old friend who had now taken the position of the Holy Maiden of the Rebirth Sect was, so Zhang Tianzheng still ordered to secretly monitor Liu Xian'er's every move.

"Has she been inside for a month without coming out?"

Chen Yan took a look at the mansion in front of him. He could sense the presence of a strong aura in the mansion without even using his spiritual sense to scan it. So he looked at Zhang Tianzheng standing beside him and asked.

"I haven't stepped out of the house yet."

Zhang Tianzheng shook his head and replied.

Chen Yan nodded, didn't say anything more, and stepped in.

Zhang Tianzheng behind him wisely did not follow in, but loyally guarded at the gate of the mansion, acting as a guard.

Although……

Our lord doesn't need much guards.

But the attitude has to be correct, right?
At the same time on the other side, Chen Yan entered the mansion.

Entering the mansion, the first thing that catches your eye is the front yard, which is a large open space with evergreen trees such as pine and cypress planted on both sides.

Walk along the bluestone floor, across the front yard and main hall, and then along the winding corridor to the back garden.

In Chen Yan's perception, the only aura of this mansion was located in the back garden of this mansion.

In the center of the garden, there is a huge rockery with jagged rocks of various shapes, as if it is a masterpiece of nature. Between the rockery, a stream gurgles, clear to the bottom, and the sound of the water, interweaving with the surrounding birdsong and flowers, forms a beautiful natural symphony.

In the garden, various flowers compete for beauty, including peach and cherry blossoms in spring, lotus and jasmine in summer, chrysanthemum and osmanthus in autumn, plum and daffodils in winter. The flower path is lined with green trees, the breeze is gentle, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing.

In a corner of the garden, there is a rippling pond with graceful lotus flowers and lotus leaves. The breeze blows through the pond, and the fragrance of lotus fills the air. There are also a few goldfish in the pond, swimming leisurely, adding some vitality to the pond.

There is a curved bridge over the pond, which is winding and connecting the pavilions on both sides. On the bridge, you can enjoy the lotus and fish while strolling in the corridor, enjoying the tranquility and leisure.

At this moment, there was a beautiful figure standing on the bridge.

The woman was dressed in a gorgeous dress full of brilliance, dancing under the light gauze, like the morning glow in the early morning light, mysterious and gorgeous.

The clothes are woven with fine silk and embroidered with intricate and exquisite patterns of dragons and phoenixes, symbolizing nobility and good fortune. The lapels are cleverly outlined with gold and silver threads and inlaid with sparkling gems and pearls, which sway gently with her steps, flashing dazzling light, as if stars are sprinkled on the earth.

The skirt is wide and layered, like a blooming lotus. Lotus flowers bloom with every step as you walk, which makes you look solemn yet elegant.

Her hair was in a high bun, with all kinds of exquisite pearls and hairpins inserted in it. It swayed gently with her movements, making clear and pleasant sounds, adding a bit of agility and cuteness to her. Occasionally, a few strands of hair danced in the wind, adding a bit of casual charm.

As if she heard the noise behind her, the woman turned around, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

Her face is like a peach blossom, and her skin is whiter than snow, as if a thin layer of morning dew covered the petals of a newly opened peach tree, crystal clear, tender and delicate. Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and when they are slightly frowned, there is an indescribable gentleness and sadness; when they are relaxed, they are like the clear waves of spring water, gently rippling in people's hearts.

His eyes are as clear as autumn water, with clear black and white. As he looks around, there is endless emotion and wisdom flowing, as if he can see through the mysteries of all things in the world.

The bridge of her nose is straight and delicate, complementing the entire facial contour and showing her elegant temperament. Her lips are as red as cherry blossoms without any makeup. A gentle smile is like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts and making them forget worldly troubles. A smile seems to melt all the frost in the world and warm people's hearts.

Her waist is so slender that you can feel its soft and boneless beauty with just a gentle grip; her shoulders are as sharp as a knife and her neck is long, which further highlights her noble temperament. Every gesture reveals an indescribable charm and elegance that makes people fall in love with her.

But when the woman saw Chen Yan, her dark eyes lit up, and then she bowed gracefully:
"The little girl Liu Xian'er has met Master Chen, the 'cold-faced sword'."

Just like before.
