Chapter 289

Yang Yun actually survived the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival and appeared at the Rice Sect general altar, which was extremely unexpected to Li Youyi.

He not only cultivated to the Nine Springs but also transformed into a pure immortal body. Now his cultivation aura had greatly increased, as if he had reached the third realm of the Five Sea Realm, and the unruly temperament on his body was even stronger.

The various strange things that emerged from Li Youyi's investigation into Qi Xiao's disappearance had a more definitive answer at this moment.

It seems that Yang Qingxi and the Sui Clan Yang family are indeed related to the Rice Sect.

Could Yang Yun also have grown out of the field?

Li Youyi's current appearance was slightly fat, medium build, around thirty years old, and he walked to Yang Yun's side, looking at the various items placed on the stall.

His gaze glanced at the stall owner sitting behind the stall.

That stall owner had three blood-red spirit valleys on his cuffs, couldn't tell his real age, but he was definitely over thirty. It was hard to judge his cultivation realm, but he definitely hadn't reached the Dao Seed Realm.

The number of blood-red spirit valleys on his cuffs was one more than the two inner disciples he met outside the Nanqing Palace earlier.

His status should be higher.

Li Youyi tried hard to collect information about this strange world, and his gaze fell on the insect eggs in the mud pot on the stall.

Two insect eggs, the size of a grain of rice, emitted jade-white brilliance, attached to the leaves of a hundred-year-old precious medicine.

"Yang Yun actually got rich? He can already afford the insect eggs of commander-level exotic insects?"

After observing for a while, Li Youyi reminded: "These are indeed the insect eggs of commander-level exotic insects!"

Yang Yun and the core disciple looked at him together.

That core disciple smiled: "Finally, someone who knows the goods has come."

Li Youyi changed the subject: "However, these are the insect eggs of the Turtle-Snake Snail. They are slow and have weak attacks. Among commander-level exotic insects, they are considered a very mediocre type."

That core disciple withdrew his smile, seeing that the other party really knew insects: "Even if it is mediocre, it is still commander-level. Once adult, its combat power can be comparable to a Dao Seed Realm Wu Xiu."

Li Youyi said: "The problem lies here! To hatch it, it takes at least thirty years. To feed it to adulthood, it takes at least sixty years. And after adulthood, it can only live for another thirty years at most."

Yang Yun's eyes turned cold, and he sneered: "No wonder you took it out to sell. You actually want to sell me this kind of exotic insect for 200,000 Spring Coins?"

That core disciple didn't look at Yang Yun at all, his gaze fixed on Li Youyi: "I am Dao Zhenhui, a registered disciple of Elder Shu. Have I offended you somewhere?"

"Just seeing injustice on the road and helping out," Li Youyi smiled.

Yang Yun cast a grateful look and cupped his hands.

Dao Zhenhui stood up, magic power dissipated from his pores, showing the cultivation realm of the sixth sea of the Five Sea Realm: "Leave your name, let me see if I can afford to offend you."

"Just relying on you?"

Li Youyi raised the corners of his mouth, not using magic power or battle method intention, for fear of being sensed and recognized by Yang Yun.

The spiritual light between his eyebrows lit up, and thought power erupted.

Deng deng deng, Dao Zhenhui was shocked by the thought power attack and retreated three steps, his face uncertain, and finally, he bowed deeply with cupped hands.

A Spirit Thought Master, not to be offended.

Li Youyi and Yang Yun walked out of the market town together.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your righteous help, otherwise I would have been cheated of a large amount of wealth by that Dao Zhenhui. I will settle this account with him sooner or later," Yang Yun was very respectful to Li Youyi.

Li Youyi said: "I am Zuo Sheng! Brother Yun, how should I address you?"

"Yun Yang."

Under the mask, Yang Yun's eyes were full of sincerity and respect.

The world where the Rice Sect general altar was located was always dim.

A bright array moon hung in the sky, spilling brilliance like rain.

This moon was three or four times larger visually than the full moon that could be seen in the ground world.

Walking out of the market town, the concentration of magic power dropped rapidly.

On both sides of the rice fields were steep mountains, the trees and vegetation on the mountains emitted purple-red brilliance, and the mixed sounds of exotic beasts and birds came out.

The rice fields were covered by array light gauze, and one could vaguely see plants more than ten meters high planted inside.

The two talked more and more speculatively.

Li Youyi said: "Brother Yun is also not a rice person born and raised in the general altar like me, right?"

"I have only been at the general altar for a few months."

Yang Yun added: "Is Senior Brother Zuo also from outside?"

Li Youyi didn't set any defenses against him at all, nodded and said: "I was born in the rice field of the Zuoqiu family, grew up in Qiuzhou since I was a child. Because my talent was not bad, I was focused on cultivation, and later I was given the Zuo surname. I only came to the general altar a few days ago with the fourth god-son... First time here..."

Yang Yun didn't doubt it.

Anyone who could come to the general altar from the outside must have undergone heavy inspections.

Yang Yun reminded: "Since Senior Brother Zuo has an identity outside, it's better to wear a mask. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected."

Li Youyi suddenly realized in his heart.

It turns out that those practitioners wearing masks he saw in the market town earlier were all people with identities outside.

Li Youyi smiled: "Thank you for telling me, Brother Yun, but it doesn't matter. I used the disguise technique. Besides, anyone who can come to the general altar is absolutely trustworthy."

Yang Yun asked curiously: "Senior Brother Zuo, are you, such an expert, also planted with Death Spirit Fire?"

Li Youyi's expression became serious, and after walking out for a distance: "There is no other way! It is difficult to be trusted if you are not a rice person born and raised in the general altar. The Divine Sect will definitely find a way to control you."

Then he added: "But I can understand the location of the general altar, it is a top secret. Once leaked, it will be a catastrophe. Especially the location of the entrance to the general altar, it is a secret among secrets."

Yang Yun was shocked: "Senior Brother Zuo knows where the entrance is?"

"You actually don't know?" Li Youyi asked back, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

"My cultivation is low, and... I..."

Yang Yun couldn't say that he was not a rice person, for fear of being treated as an alien: "When I came in, my five senses were sealed."

"So that's how it is."

Li Youyi changed his address and said affectionately: "How much does Junior Brother Yun know about the general altar? I just arrived, and I really have a sense of shock at every step. How could I have imagined that the general altar is so open and huge, it is like an independent world."

Being able to provide help to a Spirit Thought Master, Yang Yun was suddenly excited and laughed: "Actually, I don't know much either. My sister... I rarely walk out of the cultivation place. There are many dangers in the general altar. The Spirit Valley Hall manages it very loosely, and there is no explicit prohibition on fighting between disciples. If you are not careful and provoke powerful people, you might even be in danger of life."

Li Youyi said: "Isn't this chaotic?"

Yang Yun said: "It's not that exaggerated! There is also the Kuruong Hall in the general altar, which holds the power of reward and punishment. If a disciple really acts recklessly, the punishment is quite ruthless. Whipping and stick punishment are common, but fire punishment, insect punishment, and God Prison are worse than death."

So the God Prison and Kuruong Hall are related.

Li Youyi knew that Tuoba Butuo and others were locked in the God Prison.

But at the moment, whether he could escape or not was still unknown, so naturally, he couldn't take care of them.

Li Youyi nodded again, and then asked: "Junior Brother Yun, what kind of place is the Spirit Valley Hall?"

Yang Yun talked eloquently: "The Divine Sect has four halls: Heavenly Principle Hall, Spirit Valley Hall, Kuruong Hall, and World Hall."

"The Heavenly Principle Hall ranks first, responsible for sacrifices, repairing scriptures, teaching doctrines, and spreading doctrines, mainly focusing on thought power cultivation. All the arrays, passing spirits, fierce insects, refining tools, and planting medicines in the general altar are almost all managed by them."

"Spirit Valley Hall is responsible for cultivating outer disciples, inner disciples, core disciples, and even some true disciples are managed by them. At the same time, it is responsible for planting high-quality Ren Rice and raising young children."

"Spirit Valley Hall and World Hall are divided into twenty-eight prefectures according to the twenty-eight states of Lingxiao."

"The difference is that the twenty-eight prefectures of the Spirit Valley Hall are for cultivating outstanding talents within the sect."

"The twenty-eight elders of the World Hall, plus the five Venerables, are for the outside, responsible for the affairs of the outside world."

Yang Yun whispered: "I heard that a large part of the twenty-eight elders of the twenty-eight prefectures of the Spirit Valley Hall and the twenty-eight elders of the World Hall look exactly the same, they are a symbiosis."

One symbiosis, two people with the same root.

One outside, one inside.

Li Youyi secretly marveled at the terrifying strength of the Twin Rice Sect.

But thinking that they had mastered and developed the massive resources of the underground immortal mansion many years ago and inherited various scriptures and Daoist techniques of the ancient Pogaluo Sect, they could indeed grow silently in unknown places.

Li Youyi asked: "Aren't the four Hall Masters even more powerful than the five great Venerables?"

"That's for sure. The five great Venerables all belong to the World Hall. The eight-person group composed of them and the three deputy Hall Masters of the World Hall is the main force for the Divine Sect to exert influence on the outside world."

Speaking of this, Yang Yun showed an arrogant demeanor.

Li Youyi secretly guessed that perhaps the Sui Clan also had members of the eight-person group, but for fear of exposure, he didn't ask further, suddenly looked up at the distance, and sighed: "I don't know how big this general altar is? I can't see the end at a glance!"

Yang Yun smiled and showed off: "The general altar, just under our feet, the area under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Valley Hall, is distributed with twenty-eight prefectures, each with a Heavenly Law Earth Spring, and a number of Ren Rice fields. Anyway, it is said that you have to walk hundreds of miles in one direction to see the boundary of the array."

The two talked as they walked, walking out of the rice field area.

Under a dark giant mountain, they saw a Spirit Valley Hall stone tablet seventy or eighty meters high.

The Spirit Valley Hall was located in a valley, where glowing giant trees hundreds of meters high grew, and halls, scripture buildings, and Buddha pagodas were half-hidden among the branches and leaves.

There is no doubt that most of the buildings were left by the Pogaluo Sect tens of thousands of years ago.

In front of the valley, many martial arts fields and lecture fields were built. From time to time, young disciples came from all directions, took out their life tablets, and entered the array light curtain like walking into a layer of water curtain.

Arriving outside the array of the Spirit Valley Hall mountain gate.

Yang Yun took out his life tablet and looked at Li Youyi: "Senior Brother Zuo, where is your life tablet?"

Li Youyi said: "I haven't received mine yet."

A look of suspicion appeared in Yang Yun's eyes: "The life tablet is quite important. The arrays, guardian exotic beasts, patrol guards, and law enforcement teams of the general altar only recognize it. Life tablet, life tablet, it should have been received on the first day of entering!"

Li Youyi knew he couldn't hide it anymore, looked around, and didn't find other Wu Xiu. So, he used the method of snatching spiritual treasures to snatch the life tablet in Yang Yun's hand.

Inside the life tablet, Yang Yun's blood was flowing, which made Li Youyi frown slightly.

Yang Yun was stunned, not knowing what this Senior Brother Zuo wanted to do, but he had already realized that it was not good.

"Bang!"

Li Youyi slapped the back of his head with a palm, the palm containing strong thought power.

Yang Yun rolled his eyes and fell down.

Li Youyi carried the limp Yang Yun and retreated to the rice field area.

In a hidden corner, he took off the inner disciple rice robe on Yang Yun's body at the fastest speed and put it on himself.
