101: Seeking Immortals, Entering the Dreamland! (Updated by the boss.)

Li Yan and Si Zheng Liu Haishan played along, arriving at a courtyard house in the mountain city.

"Brother, this is the residence granted to you by the Venerable One. From now on, you can live in the Inner City and listen to the Holy Voice."

Liu Haishan said earnestly, "How many people dream of living in this Inner City!"

"You are so young, yet you have received such an honor. Your future prospects are limitless."

Li Yan cupped his hands and said, "Si Zheng Liu, why don't you come in for a sit?"

Liu Haishan waved his hands repeatedly, a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"No, no, I have other important matters to attend to. I won't bother you."

"Then this Junior can only respectfully see off Si Zheng, I won't see you out further."

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Yan entered the courtyard and immediately took out the box of Golden Core.

Immortal Master Zhang followed behind, complaining, "Kid, you weren't like this before."

"Don't be like Liu Haishan and Zhao Feihu!"

"They became particularly hypocritical after entering the Yin Si Prison!"

Zhang Jiu and the two Si Zheng were clearly old acquaintances. In the past, everyone lived in the Outer City and everything was fine.

But after entering the Inner City and becoming dogs of the Holy Hall, these people became increasingly hypocritical, and their personalities were unbearable for Zhang Jiu.

Zhang Jiu was an honest person, pursuing a life of leisure like a wild crane, and strongly disliked the officialdom of the Holy Hall.

He had previously thought Li Yan was a good person, a decent young man.

But after Li Yan met Zenmatsu Fairy, his attitude changed 180 degrees. Did he just become a dog of the Holy Hall?

However, facing Zhang Jiu's complaints, Li Yan didn't say much. Instead, he sat by himself in the pavilion in the courtyard.

He opened the box, took out a Golden Core, and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

Immortal Master Zhang, who was mumbling beside him, showed a disappointed expression when he saw Li Yan eagerly consume the Golden Core.

"Alas..."

"It seems he is no different from others, beginning to indulge in the pursuit of Blood Law, abandoning the path of Cultivation."

Zhang Jiu was heartbroken, shaking his head repeatedly as he left.

He felt a sense of disappointment.

You were a beautiful person, why did you become a thief?

You clearly Cultivated a Golden Core, but you want to turn it into a Blood Core? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

However, Li Yan ignored Zhang Jiu and continued to sit there, refining.

All of this was seen by Si Zheng Liu Haishan, who was hiding in the dark.

When he saw Li Yan consume the Bloodline Golden Core, Liu Haishan grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

"It seems I can go back and report. This kid will soon become one of us."

When Liu Haishan left, Li Yan slowly opened his eyes.

His shadow was monitoring in the dark, confirming Liu Haishan's departure.

He had only been putting on a show for him just now.

As soon as he left, Li Yan immediately returned to the house and closed the door.

"Su Mo, be my Protector."

"Yes!"

With Corpse Puppet Su Mo acting as Protector at the door, Li Yan sat cross-legged and began to absorb these Golden Core.

He grabbed a handful of Golden Core and put them into his mouth, beginning to convert the side effects into Yang Si Power.

Blood Qi flowed into his Dantian, and a sacred golden light emerged in Li Yan's Dantian Qi Sea.

Golden Core Stage second layer, Breakthrough!

Golden Core Stage third layer, fourth layer, fifth layer!

He grabbed handfuls of Bloodline Golden Core and put them into his mouth. If it were anyone else, their blood vessels would have burst from the side effects, exploding into dust.

But Li Yan's Meridians and Dantian Qi Sea had been tempered thousands of times during the previous Divine Tomb Battle.

Now his Qi Sea had expanded a hundredfold, and his Qi channels had become more resilient, capable of containing energy that those of the same stage could not.

Vast amounts of Blood Qi poured fiercely into his Dantian, but for Li Yan, it was like a gushing spring, nourishing his Golden Core.

In less than half an hour, Li Yan had consumed all of these Golden Core.

The three boxes of Bloodline Golden Core bestowed upon him by the fake Immortal Venerable were already empty.

Only then did Li Yan let out a long breath: "Breaking through to the Golden Core Stage fifth layer is still not enough."

"With my current strength, it's basically impossible to enter the Holy Hall's interior."

Li Yan sat cross-legged in the room, clenching his fists in secret.

He could feel Ember Immortal was in the Holy Mountain, a faint aura seeking his help.

His female disciple was within reach, but he couldn't push open the Holy Hall's door.

The enemy outnumbered him, and he was in the enemy's base camp.

Li Yan couldn't act rashly; he had to plan carefully.

From the information currently available, the Holy Hall was no longer the Holy Hall it once was.

The Holy Hall founded by Ember Immortal had been taken over by Ancient God Believers, and almost all high-ranking officials, big and small, had been replaced by the Ancient God's people.

And for some unknown reason, Ember Immortal was imprisoned inside the Holy Hall.

Li Yan's face was grim as he pushed open the window and looked at Mishan Holy Hall, covered in white snow, a few miles away.

His only advantage now was that he had infiltrated the enemy, consumed the Blood Core, and gained their trust.

As long as he utilized this identity well, perhaps he could enter the Holy Hall's interior and find the cell where Ember Immortal was imprisoned.

If he wasn't mistaken, Ember Immortal was locked beneath the Holy Hall.

Just as Li Yan stood by the window, looking at the Holy Hall towering on the snowy mountain in the distance.

A strange sound came from behind him. He frowned tightly and immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate.

He saw Immortal Master Zhang outside, muttering to himself.

"I shouldn't have brought this kid into the Holy Hall. This kid will fall into Hell sooner or later."

"How can this poor Daoist watch you fall into Hell? I must knock this kid out and carry him away from here!"

He saw that fellow Zhang Jiu directly used a wall-penetrating technique to enter Li Yan's room.

He tiptoed, holding a bewilderment talisman in his hand, intending to knock Li Yan out and then take him out of the demon's lair.

Watching Zhang Jiu try to knock him down, Li Yan's lips curved upwards.

"Brother Zhang, you're quite skilled with the wall-penetrating technique."

Zhang Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped.

"You..."

Li Yan slowly turned around and, with a wave of his hand, placed a layer of shadow barrier in the room.

Seeing Li Yan seal the room, cold sweat broke out on Zhang Jiu's forehead.

"You kid, you've really fallen into Hell. Do you want to kill me and refine a Blood Core?"

Li Yan chuckled lightly and displayed his Golden Core Stage aura.

At that moment, Zhang Jiu was completely stunned.

"You... you didn't fall into Hell? Didn't you eat that Blood Core? How can this be?"

Li Yan simply found an excuse and explained, "I was just putting on a show for Liu Haishan."

"You kid! I didn't expect you to be so cunning, even deceiving me."

Zhang Jiu was not only not angry but showed an expression of ecstatic joy.

At this moment, after Li Yan revealed his identity as a Cultivator, he asked curiously.

"Brother Zhang, the last words left by Dragon Tiger Immortal back then were not just these, right?"

Zhang Jiu was first stunned, as if he was hesitating about something.

Then he took out the book "Dragon Tiger Mountain Immortal Seeking Journal" from his Storage Ring.

"A wisp of Dragon Tiger Immortal's remnant soul resides in this book."

When he saw the book, Li Yan's eyes lit up.

He quickly walked forward and reached out to touch it.

A line of text appeared before his eyes.

"Do you want to enter the dream?"
