Liang Yan returned to his cave and saw a skinny, long-haired man with a sinister aura sitting at the table.

"Come back?" Liang Yan glanced at him and said calmly: "Did you gain anything from this trip?"

"Xuanji Island is far more complicated than I thought." Ni Jiayue said in a deep voice.

"oh?"

Liang Yan smiled slightly, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of spiritual tea for each of them, then sat down and took a sip of tea.

"Tell me, what is it about this island that makes it difficult for you to live there?"

"Ancient prohibition!"

Ni Jiayue narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled: "I searched for several days, but could not find the location of the Sutra Pavilion, because there is an area on the island covered by ancient restrictions that cannot be broken by ordinary means. Moreover, this restriction

It’s very strange, it seems to imply that there are two formations of Confucianism and Confucianism, I have never seen them before!”

After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes showed a trace of surprise: "There is actually a prohibition in this world that combines Taoism and Confucianism?"

Ni Jiayue nodded slowly: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it..."

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment and then said: "In addition to this ancient restriction, there are two masters on the island, both of whom are not weak. One of them should be the island owner, and his strength is probably as good as mine!"

"Is it that strong?"

Liang Yan was really surprised.

You must know that Ni Jiayue was once in the realm of a saint. After reshaping his body, although he did not return to his previous cultivation, his methods should be invincible to a saint.

Even a top-level sub-sage like Danyang Sheng, Ning Bugui, is still slightly inferior to him.

"I'm not talking nonsense. If you see this person, you will definitely come to the same conclusion as me." Ni Jiayue said with a serious face.

"Well..." Liang Yan nodded slightly.

He still trusted Ni Jiayue's judgment. After all, he was a saint in the past, and his vision should far exceed his own.

"It seems that Dongyun Lingzhou is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger..." Liang Yan murmured to himself.

The two were silent for a moment, and Ni Jiayue added: "Actually, it is not impossible to break the ancient prohibition, but it will take more time. I almost succeeded once, but unfortunately the island owner suddenly arrived and seemed to have something to do.

induction……"

After saying that, he drank the cup of spiritual tea in one gulp.

Liang Yan's face condensed slightly and he asked, "Didn't he notice you at that time?"

"No."

Ni Jiayue shook his head: "I am always cautious in doing things. I left a mark outside the formation in advance. When the island owner arrived, I immediately teleported away using my secret technique without leaving any traces."

"That's good." Liang Yan had a look of satisfaction on his face.

This is also what he admires about Ni Jiayue. When it comes to the word "cautious", this person is as good as himself.

After pondering for a moment, Liang Yan asked again: "Have you carefully inspected the other places on Xuanji Island?"

"I checked and found no place where they hide the books." Ni Jiayue replied with certainty.

"In that case...it's very possible that the Sutra Pavilion is within that restricted area?"

"Nine times out of ten! How important is the Sutra Pavilion? It must be in the most heavily defended place."

"Um……"

Liang Yan knocked on the table and thought secretly in his heart.

After a while, he slowly said: "I'm afraid this Mysterious Island has a great origin, and I don't know if there are saints behind it. We can't act too openly. It's best to handle things in secret."

Ni Jiayue showed a troubled look: "But... it is difficult for us to sneak into the barrier without being discovered by the island owner."

Liang Yan nodded: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. After all, we are not familiar with the place where we live. We must have enough information before making a decision..."

Having said this, he paused and then said with a smile: "By the way, I bought a pill from this exchange meeting, which can help you solve your current predicament."

"oh?"

Ni Jiayue's heart moved and he asked: "What kind of elixir?"

Liang Yan smiled slightly and took out a purple elixir from the storage ring.

"Well, this is called the 'Qiankun Body Shaping Pill'. It can not only help monks reshape their physical bodies, but also make the soul and the physical body more consistent."

After hearing this, Ni Jia's expression did not change much, but he was actually a little surprised.

His soul has been separated from the physical body for hundreds of thousands of years. Even if Liang Yan spent a lot of money to help him reshape his physical body, it would be difficult to achieve a perfect fit with the soul.

The conflict between the physical body and the soul occurs every six months, and each time lasts for several months!

In the past hundred years, unbearable pain has been tormenting Ni Jiayue, making the devil's mind gradually go crazy...

If Liang Yan hadn't suppressed his aura, he would have lost his mind long ago and turned into a walking zombie who only knows killing!

Of course, Ni Jiayue himself did not want to fall, so he kept fighting.

He didn't know until today that there was a pill in Dongyun Lingzhou that could solve his problem!

"Dongyun Lingzhou is indeed a vast land and rich in resources! In comparison, the history of the cultivation world in Antarctic Immortal Continent is too short, and its profound foundation is probably far inferior to that of Dongyun Lingzhou." Ni Jiayue said with emotion.

"Maybe."

Liang Yan gave the elixir to Ni Jiayue without commenting.

"Thank you!"

Ni Jiayue took the elixir and thanked him sincerely.

The next moment, he swallowed the elixir into his belly and concentrated on it for a long time.

"Sure enough, it has an effect...but it is not immediate. It requires continuous refining with mana." Ni Jiayue said thoughtfully.

"It doesn't matter, just tell me all the information you have collected in the past few days. You don't need to take action next." Liang Yan said calmly.

After Ni Jiayue heard this, he immediately told Liang Yan all the information he had.

After finishing speaking, he asked: "...what are you going to do next?"

"The situation is unclear now. It just so happened that I met a Taoist monk today. This person is not weak in cultivation and has a low status. Maybe I can get some information from him."

"That's fine." Ni Jiayue nodded.

"Come back, I will call you when needed."

"good."

Ni Jiayue didn't say much. He turned around and turned into a black shadow again, gradually blending into Liang Yan's shadow...

…

Time flew by and it was three days later.

Outside a certain cave on Xuanji Island, a ray of light flew from far to near, piercing the sky.

After a moment, the escaping light fell on the door, revealing a handsome man wearing a black robe.

As if sensing his arrival, the cave door opened automatically.

Immediately afterwards, a young man wearing a white Taoist uniform and long hair tied high strode out of the cave.

"Hahaha!"

The man in Taoist robes smiled broadly and looked very happy: "I have been living here leisurely for the past few days, looking forward to your Taoist friends day and night. Today I finally see you Taoist friends, and I am very happy!"

Seeing how enthusiastic this man was, Liang Yan also smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist Biyou is a master of the Taoist sect. It is really a blessing for Liu to be able to taste wine and discuss Taoism with fellow Taoist Taoist. How could he break the appointment?"

The two greeted each other politely, Shen Biyou took Liang Yan's hand, and they entered side by side.

Although this cave is large, the furnishings are simple. There are only two futons and a stone table. Bagua pictures are hung on the walls. There is an incense burner underneath, with green smoke floating in the air...

"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."

Shen Biyou brought Liang Yan to the stone table, and they each sat on a futon.

He waved his sleeves again, and two light wine glasses and a pot of spiritual wine appeared on the table.

"This wine is called 'Biluo Ningxiang'. I spent a lot of money to get such a small jar. It is truly the pleasure of my life to drink it with you today!"

Liang Yan came closer to smell it and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good wine! Since fellow Taoist sincerely invites you, I would be disrespectful to refuse."

After saying that, he pointed with his hand, and the jade pot flew up, filling both wine glasses with fine wine.

"please!"

"please!"

The two of them drank a glass at the same time, and Liang Yan felt a lingering fragrance sinking into his stomach, followed by a sense of warmth, which made his limbs and bones feel warm and comfortable!

"It's rare. Liu has not drunk such a fine wine for many years." Liang Yan praised sincerely.

"This is nothing..."

Shen Biyou filled the two glasses again and said with a smile: "Shen is a good wine. We have exchanged several secret brewing recipes over the years. Although 'Biluo Ningxiang' tastes good, it can only be ranked third in my place."

After the alchemy conference, I took fellow Taoists to explore the joy of wine."
