Chapter 170 The Pure Land is gone? There was silence in Linjiang Division at this moment. Lin Yan personally poured the tea and served it respectfully. "When did it happen?" General Han suddenly spoke in a muffled voice. "Before General Pei was killed." Lin Yan responded softly. "So, you went to Dayinjiang at the Qi Refining Realm?" “Yes, General Pei’s cultivation is not low. He was killed in the Dayin River. At that time, we only knew that the big snake turned into a dragon. The level involved is quite high.” Lin Yan said with a smile: “If he didn’t have the ability of the Qi Refining Realm…” "You will go too." General Han sneered. "That's true." Lin Yan said, "But I will make adequate preparations... After all, I'm not a reckless man." "You are not a reckless man?" Han Zongqi almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He immediately put down the teacup, calmed down his mind, and then said, "When you approached Liuzhuang, were you at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm?"

"That's right." Lin Yan said. "Why are you pretending to have just entered the Essence Refining Stage?" General Han asked dissatisfiedly. "This..." Lin Yan's eyebrows twitched, not knowing how to answer. "No need to answer." General Han also apparently recalled the conversation that day. It seems that this kid is not pretending to have just entered the realm of refining essence? Is it my preconceived notion that I believe he is at the Jing Refining Realm? Did you encourage him at that time? He looked at Lin Yan and felt that there was something strange in his eyes. After a while, he said, "How many true qi?" He thought to himself that he had to ask more clearly this time, specifically about the progress of the true Qi, to avoid any misunderstandings! "Eleven!" Lin Yan responded. "..." General Han sensed the pitiful wisp of true energy in the ancestral acupoint between his eyebrows, but did not respond. "According to the records of the Three Sources of Qi and Five Elements Refining Treasure Record, at least the first nine Qis need to be refined by oneself." Lin Yan paused and said, "This will reduce the risk of losing control in the future and reduce the outbreak of hidden dangers..." "Of course I know that the ancestors of various families in Gaoliu City, who are now old and aging, have not lost control because they enjoyed all the resources of Gaoliu City and received support from Qifeng City, allowing them to perform more than nine times of refining essence into qi." Han, the flag envoy, exhaled again and said, "The human body has limited resources. Although I am in my prime, I can only perform six times of refining essence into qi..." Lin Yan reached into his arms, took out a box and pushed it over. "What is this?" General Han frowned. “The Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade can complement your foundation, at least to the ancestral orifice between your eyebrows, and complete your true energy.” Lin Yan responded. "No, you have also entered the Qi Refining Realm and need this thing even more. How can you let me hinder your future?" General Han waved his hand and the box returned to Lin Yan. "I have already refined eleven." Lin Yan responded.

"Refine your essence and turn it into Qi. The more the better." General Han shook his head slightly and said seriously, "In the future, if you take in the 'strange Qi' from the outside world, it will definitely affect yourself... The Qi that is completely refined by yourself is the purest, and only then can you go further and keep yourself safe." "With my current reputation and recent achievements, the Heavenly Guards of Qifeng Prefecture will certainly focus on my cultivation... Even the City Guards of Gaoliu City have sent me gifts." Lin Yan said calmly, "We don't need these." "..." General Han shook his head slightly and said nothing. "Since I entered the Tianjian Division, you have given me a lot of training. You should let me do my best to show your appreciation." Lin Yan said with a smile. "I have cultivated you without ever thinking of getting anything in return from you." said General Han. "The main thing is, I don't want the day when your foundation becomes unstable and you completely lose control, requiring me to personally send you off." Lin Yan paused and said slowly. "..."General Han fell into silence. "Today's battle was not going to happen anyway. You are here to show off your power, just to tell the world that I have a great man in the Qi Refining Realm backing me up!" Lin Yan pointed at the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade and said, "My backer should be more stable." "How many do you have?" General Han took the box and suddenly asked. "Enough." Lin Yan replied. "How much?" General Han's tone suddenly became heavier. "It will take another seven days." Lin Yan said. “After seven days, I can give you another seven days’ worth of materials for cultivation. Even if it’s not the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade, it’s an equally valuable treasure.” General Han nodded. "Oh?" Lin Yan looked surprised. "No need to ask!" General Han said slowly, "These accumulations were originally prepared for you to enter the Qi Refining Realm." "Keep it for your own use." Lin Yan said solemnly after hearing this. "Nine times of refining essence into qi is enough for me." Han Zongqi Envoy said: "In this life, even if I make it to the end, at most I can reach the level of the current commander..." "When he reached the Qi Refining Stage, Qifeng Mansion began to stabilize. It was all thanks to his own foundation, and he refined his essence into Qi six times." "As a result, it has absorbed too much foreign energy from the outside world and cannot be suppressed. There is a risk of losing control." "I have refined my essence into qi nine times, and I can calm down now." Soon, General Han stood up and said, "In the next two days, the commander will find out the attitudes of the various forces in the inner city towards you... In addition, there will be changes outside the city, so you'd better not get involved..." Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ponder: "The incident outside the city, isn't it just the destruction of the Pure Land?" General Han waved his hand and said, "This is the beginning, not the end." Lin Yan frowned and said, "Regarding this matter, Mr. Lu doesn't seem to fully understand the inside story..." Upon hearing this, General Han said slowly, "Mr. Lu is no longer the priest of Wutong Temple. It's not that he doesn't know some things, but given his current status, it's not easy for him to know too much and we can't interfere too much." "Then how do you know that?" "I am at least the chief flag bearer of the older generation of the Tianjian Division, so I have enough experience." "Have you forgotten that I was also promoted to Chief Bannerman and concurrently served as New City Inspector?"

"You don't have enough experience..." "I want to hear the truth." Lin Yan said in a deep voice. "..." General Han was silent for a moment before he said, "What Xu Dingye said conveyed the meaning of Emperor Li Shenzong." "Emperor Li Shenzong is giving you a warning?" Lin Yan frowned slightly. "He just wanted to kill me with his own hands, so that I wouldn't die in this incident." General Han said self-deprecatingly. "What is your grudge against him? With his status, why has he been obsessed with you for so many years, and even feared that you would die out there?" Lin Yan frowned even more. "No grudge." Han Zongqi Envoy replied. "Touch the scar on your head and say it again." Lin Yan exhaled and said, "Before, it was Li Shenzong's trick that made you unable to heal this scar even with your cultivation in the Jing Refining Realm... Now, it is because you have cultivated to the Qi Refining Realm and left this scar intentionally!" "gone." Han Zongqi Envoy said nothing more and headed outside: "Emperor Li Shenzong has always been conceited and will not personally take action to bully the weak." "His disciple Xu Dingye was defeated by you before, so at most he will have another chief disciple." "You don't have to worry too much about Li Shenzong himself." "You should practice well. I'm leaving first." - In the hall, Lin Yan had a complicated expression. Finally, he let out a breath. Stand up and let the little white ape out. "master?" "You leave the city as a small flag and find Huai Zun for me." "Do you think Huai Zun knows about this?" “Before Huai Zun escaped, he was originally located very close to one of the destroyed small clean areas.” Lin Yan said in a deep voice: “He ran very strangely at that time…” "It's not strange, is it? I heard from Lu Tang that you were going to offer sacrifices to Huai Zun, but you scared Huai Zun away, and Huai Zun died... Huai Zun risked his life to escape." The little white ape whispered. "Bullshit!" Lin Yan said, "I have always been kind to others. When Huai Zun ran away, I knew something was fishy... But how did this old tree know about the Pure Land and what would happen in the future?" "Then I'll go ask?" The little white ape whispered, "Huai Zun seems to have fled the vicinity of Liuzhuang. I don't know where he went. I'll fly up to the sky to look for his godson." "Go." Lin Yan nodded. Then I was about to go back to the backyard and happened to pass by the stable. The little girl from Zhou's family carried a bucket of feed mixed with fresh grass and poured it into the trough. The rest of the horses put their heads into the trough and eat their food.

Only the dragon-scale horse had a hint of disdain in its eyes. It stood tall and did not move for a long time. "Master Ma, would you like something to eat?" The little girl from the Zhou family scooped a spoonful of food, stood on tiptoes with difficulty, and fed it to the mouth of the dragon-scale horse. Then the dragon-scaled horse gave a puff, raised its head, and overturned the spoon. The little girl screamed and quickly reached out to pick up the feed on the ground and put it back into the bucket. In her eyes, the feed here and some of the ingredients added to it are better than the three meals a day of many poor people. She bit her lip slightly, raised her head, and said, "Master Yang has already reported it to the higher authorities. The concentrated feed will be delivered soon, as well as additional medicinal materials. Would you like to eat some first to fill your stomach?" The dragon-scaled horse raised its head slightly, as if it didn't hear anything. "what happened?" At this moment, Lin Yan came over. "Fifth Master..." The little girl wiped her hands on her clothes, bowed quickly, and said, "Master Yang said that your dragon-scale horse is a rare exotic horse. It must have been fed with fine feed in the past, so it can't eat these rough things..." Lin Yan looked at the dragon-scale horse and suddenly asked, "You said before that you have already reported the concentrated feed to the Wainan Division? How much silver is it per month?" The little girl thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be twelve taels of silver." "Twelve taels of silver is enough to support several families." Lin Yan waved his hand, walked forward, and said slowly: "Legend has it that Jiao-Scale Horse has a thin bloodline of Jiaolong. Although you are not a monster yet, you should have some wisdom, smarter than ordinary beasts..." At this point, Lin Yan sighed and said, "I, Linjiang Division, probably can't afford to support you." The dragon-scaled horse raised its head, very proud. "It's hard for you. You seem to have lost weight after being hungry for two days." Lin Yan turned his head and said, "Go tell the kitchen to kill the horse and eat the meat today, while the horse is still fat..." The dragon-scaled horse was like being struck by lightning, its whole body froze. "Ah?" the little girl said in surprise, "Master Yang said that this is a precious horse in the world, extremely rare and invaluable..." "It was picked up in the first place, so just treat it as a dead horse. Let's share some meat to improve our food." Lin Yan said with emotion: "Martial arts training consumes a lot of energy. It's a good opportunity for the flag bearers under my command to get some tonic energy! They have been working really hard and tired recently, so they need a reward..." Before the voice fell, the dragon-scaled horse suddenly came forward, put its head into the trough, and started eating voraciously. It seemed to find the fish extremely delicious, pushing the other horses away and devouring it in big mouthfuls. "..." The little girl from the Zhou family could not help but be stunned. Lin Yan looked normal and said, "It seems that it is used to eating it. It's okay... If it doesn't eat in the future, don't let it become thin and hungry. Notify the kitchen while it's still fat."

The dragon-scaled horse shuddered all over and ate more happily. Lin Yan looked at it deeply, then turned and left. But before he returned to the house, he saw Yang Zhubu jogging towards him. "Fifth Master, something happened outside the city." "what's up?" "The Pure Land is gone." "Pure land?" Lin Yan pondered, "The destroyed pure land?" "It was destroyed, but the Pure Land itself was still in that location, but now... it's gone." Yang Zhubu handed over two pieces of paper and panted, "This is a message from the city defense, and the other one is from the Guantian Tower..." (End of this chapter)
