It is undeniable that if an uninvited guest appears in any sect - a practitioner from other places with Nascent Soul stage strength, everyone will be vigilant and wary of this.
Regarding the maid who was dedicated to serving him, Yan Yun only told her a few words at the beginning, and then never assigned her any tasks again.
In this way, the time lasted until the morning of the third day, and he was sitting quietly on a futon, motionless.
Suddenly, his expression changed, golden light flashed all over his body, and there was a continuous roar around him, as if something was exploding one after another.
Then, he opened his eyes and his expression turned gloomy.
The reason was that a stream of spiritual consciousness had just penetrated the restrictions of the attic without any scruples and hit him directly. He ruthlessly cast a spell to bounce it back.
This spiritual consciousness should belong to the late Yuanying monks.
Yan Yun frowned slightly. Such a powerful spiritual consciousness could only be possessed by the being named Master Hanli on the island.
Is this person the great elder of Xiaoji Palace?
At this moment, Master Hanli's voice came to Yan Yun's ears:
"Could it be that you are Taoist Fellow Yan? I am Master Hanli. I wonder if Fellow Taoist Yan would like to meet me?"
This Master Hanli is an extremely mysterious figure. Although people in the northern region know that he has great magical powers, what is puzzling is that no one has ever seen him take action.
It is said that he became the great elder in one night.
Yan Yun was surprised in his heart, but with his current magical power, he was fearless even when facing opponents in the early stage of becoming a god, let alone a mere monk in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he decided to visit Master Hanli, so he spoke to the spiritual thoughts hovering nearby:
"Since fellow Taoist Hanli invites you so warmly, how can Yan refuse? I will go to see fellow Taoist right away."
"Haha, very good. My spiritual beast is about to arrive there. Fellow Taoist Yan only needs to follow this beast. I am here to wait for you to come!"
Upon hearing Yan Yun's immediate agreement, Master Hanli seemed very satisfied and his tone became gentle.
Then, a white light flashed, and this ray of spiritual thought disappeared without a trace.
Yan Yun did not act immediately, but stared at the ground for a moment, then slowly got up and walked downstairs.
The young-looking maid was sitting on a chair on the first floor studying the jade slip in her hand. When she saw Yan Yun walking down the stairs, she stood up in panic.
Yan Yun just nodded slightly in response to her and left the attic door absentmindedly.
The maid was confused and had no idea what was going on. With her level of cultivation, she naturally had no way of knowing about the spiritual confrontation that had just occurred upstairs.
Yan Yun walked out of the door and saw the target he was looking for at a glance.
A small beast that looked like a large cat was squatting on a nearby small tree, its eyes radiating yellow light as it stared at Yan Yun. The golden hair on its body looked like it was made of pure gold, making it particularly eye-catching.
He squinted his eyes and carefully observed the little beast for a few times, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.
"The golden raccoon! It's such a magical beast! It is said that these beasts are twin beasts. Once they go out, they will always appear in pairs. Their concealment skills are amazing. I don't know whether it is true or not."
Yan Yun muttered something in a low voice, and his expression gradually returned to its original state. However, his eyes inadvertently glanced at other trees, trying to find some clues, but he did not find anything strange.
Apparently, this mysterious little beast named Golden Wind Raccoon had also initially confirmed Yan Yun's identity. It let out a deep roar, as if communicating with its companions.
Suddenly, in a nearby short tree, a golden light flickered slightly.
It turned out that a smaller beast than before quietly emerged from the tree trunk. Its body was only about half a foot long, making it even more petite than the previous one.
Yan Yun was shocked. Although he had extraordinary consciousness, he failed to notice how this little beast was hidden in the tree trunk.
The two golden raccoons quickly gathered together, rubbed their heads against each other, and then immediately turned and galloped away in a certain direction.
Yan Yun didn't have time to think about it, as his whole body emitted a dazzling spiritual light, turning into a golden stream of light and following closely behind.
During the chase, an incredible scene happened.
The figure of one of the golden raccoons became blurry in an instant, and disappeared without a trace within Yan Yun's sight.
Yan Yun was shocked. His consciousness quickly spread to the surroundings, but he still could not find any trace of this beast.
He took a deep breath, and then without hesitation poured all his mana into his eyes. Suddenly his pupils flashed with blue light, constantly scanning the surrounding environment.
Finally, he discovered an unusually blurry and almost invisible shadow near another little beast that was leading the way. This was the invisible golden raccoon.
The speed of the two golden raccoons was not too fast, just slightly faster than ordinary flying spells. Yan Yun could naturally follow them more than ten feet away easily.
On the way, they inevitably met many practitioners in the inner palace, and these people were surprised when they saw the unfamiliar face of Yan Yun.
But when they saw the golden raccoon running in front of them, they immediately understood and moved out of the way, as if they knew this beast very well.
However, Yan Yun's Nascent Soul stage cultivation also aroused the doubts and vigilance of several high-level practitioners, but they seemed to dare not easily step forward to stop him.
Following the guidance of this beast, Yan Yun sometimes turned left, sometimes turned right, passed through several scattered pavilions, and finally came to a stone door on the mountain wall.
This stone door is not particularly tall, about five or six feet high, but the entire door is emitting a faint yellow light, and the runes on it flicker, as if an extremely powerful restriction has been imposed on it.
Yan Yun stopped and looked at the stone gate in front of him with squinted eyes, his eyes full of doubts and curiosity.
The pair of golden raccoons swayed slightly and then disappeared directly into the stone door, as if they were invisible and without substance.
For an instant, Yan Yun was stunned. Before he had time to react, the stone door suddenly burst into light and slowly opened with a roaring sound.
A crystal clear passage was revealed in response. The walls of the passage were covered with thick frost, like the entrance of an ice cave.
The pair of golden raccoons were standing at the entrance of the passage, looking back at Yan Yun with round eyes, looking extremely alert. The one that was originally invisible also appeared at this time.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, please come in. I am in poor health and cannot go out to greet him in person. I would like to ask Haihan." A deep laughter sounded in Yan Yun's ears. Yan Yun raised his eyebrows and stepped into it without hesitation.
When the pair of golden raccoons saw Yan Yun following them, they immediately turned around and galloped away along the passage.
Yan Yun followed seemingly slowly but quickly. After several turns, he felt that the cold air in the passage was getting colder and colder, and suddenly began to extend downwards.
With a thought in his mind, he moved forward without stopping without hesitation.
After about a cup of tea, when Yan Yun realized that the surrounding temperature was close to the point where his breath could turn into ice, he finally reached the end of the passage. The golden raccoon jumped up and threw himself into a white hall. within.
The entire hall is made of a kind of translucent jade, with little bits of cold light shining on the surface, which was actually taken from Wanzai Xuanbing.
If there were Clam girls practicing here, they would get twice the result with half the effort.
"Sure enough, fellow Taoist Yan does possess the rare extremely cold flame."
A word full of surprise came from the center of the hall. Yan Yun's face changed. His eyes turned, and he observed the surroundings carefully. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he laughed softly: "Dry blue ice flames!"
At each corner of the hall stands a huge crystal pillar that can only be surrounded by adult men, and in the middle of the hall is a giant blue cauldron with a diameter of five to six feet.
Layers of light blue flames emerged from it, astonishing coldness, and soul-stirring spiritual pressure. It was the dry blue ice flame that Yan Yun was familiar with!
"I am really surprised that Fellow Daoist Yan actually recognizes the dry blue ice flame."
A soft cry came from behind the giant cauldron, and then a figure flashed, and a short dwarf, only three feet tall, walked out from behind.
His face was deeply wrinkled, his snow-white beard was flowing, and he was dressed in a blue robe. He looked at Yan Yun with surprise. "Are you Master Hanli?"
Yan Yun's expression returned to normal instantly, he cupped his hands gently and asked politely.
"Exactly, I am Hanli. However, the name of Master Hanli is only the honorific title of the great elders of Xiaoji Palace in the past. My real name is Shixiang, and few people know it."
The dwarf's eyes flashed, and he said to Yan Yun with a smile. Then he calmly waved his arm and hit a crystal pillar in the corner with a magic spell.
In an instant, the ground in several places in the hall shone brightly, and several pale white futons appeared out of thin air.
"Since I rarely have guests visiting here, I do not prepare tables and chairs on a daily basis. I hope fellow Taoist friends will forgive me."
said the dwarf amiably. "My fellow Taoist is serious. Practitioners don't need to pay too much attention to these red tapes."
Yan Yun smiled slightly, calmly walked to a futon and sat down, his eyes still focused on the giant cauldron.
He discovered that the shape of this giant cauldron was quite similar to that of the Xutian Cauldron, and that it had extraordinary magical powers. The power of the dry blue ice flame seemed to be tightly bound by this cauldron, and could not be leaked out at all.
Otherwise, this hall would have been frozen into a land of ice and snow, so how could anyone easily step into it.
"Although Fellow Taoist Yan has not yet had an in-depth conversation with me, my intuition tells me that Fellow Taoist Yan is very likely to be the person I have been looking for for a long time."
Master Hanli sat down on another futon opposite Yan Yun and explained to Yan Yun with a sincere expression.
"The Master said that, Yan is really confused! Could you please explain in detail the reason why I invited you to come here?"
Yan Yun pretended to be surprised, and then asked.
"Brother Yan, there is no need to worry too much. The reason why I invited Brother Yan here is because I heard that Brother Yan once swallowed two Ice Spirit Fruits in a row without any abnormality, so I was curious and wanted to see him. Brother Yan. But now that I see that Brother Yan has cultivated the Extreme Cold Flame, I no longer need to conduct any tests. Brother Yan is undoubtedly the person I have been looking for."
Master Hanli explained with a smile on his face.
"Yan is the person the Master is looking for. What does this sentence mean?"
Yan Yun frowned slightly and asked doubtfully.
"Brother Yan, could you please tell me first what the name of the purple flames on Brother Yan's body is? Although I also know several kinds of purple spiritual flames, I have never heard of the ice attribute, so I hope Brother Yan can give me some advice. 2. ”
Master Hanli looked serious and asked solemnly.
"The cold flames on Yan's body came from random cultivation and have no official name. However, for the convenience of naming, Yan named it Shura Holy Fire. Although it may not be comparable to the dry blue ice flame, its The power cannot be underestimated.”
Yan Yun looked down at the pale white flames flickering on his body and said in a calm tone.
Naturally, he would not tell the truth about the true power of this flame before thoroughly understanding the other party's details.
However, when Master Hanli heard what Yan Yun said, he seemed very satisfied and said with a smile:
"What Brother Yan said is indeed true. I have observed that although the Shura Holy Fire seems to be integrated into one, in fact the ice-cold spiritual power is quite chaotic. It has obviously not been refined by special ice-cold attribute techniques. Otherwise, its ice-cold spiritual power is quite chaotic. The power should be improved.”
"Going one step further? I specially refined this fire at the beginning, isn't it already refined enough?"
Yan Yun was stunned and asked in shock.
"Haha, it seems that Brother Yan doesn't know enough about extreme cold flames. This kind of cold flame is extremely rare in the world. However, after each kind of cold flame is initially refined for one's own use, it can be refined through special secret techniques. Purify it to further increase its power. Of course, the final power increase depends on the degree of refining and the power of the cold flame itself, but in any case, if this dry blue ice flame is refined to the extreme, it will be enough to increase its power by several times. More than twice as much.”
The dwarf said proudly while stroking his beard and looking at the giant cauldron.
"Several times more powerful? Could it be this kind of purified flame that fellow Taoist is referring to!"
Yan Yun couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air, but then he seemed to remember something, and immediately raised a finger, and a deep purple flame suddenly emerged, flashing continuously.
"Indeed, this is the refined cold flame, but it doesn't seem to have reached the point of complete purification. It seems that Brother Yan used brute force to compress mana to achieve such an effect. Such a forceful act not only consumes a lot of mana, but also may It can only be used to refine this pure fire.”
Master Hanli did not show any surprise, but responded calmly.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your advice. Now, Master, can you tell Yan why you are looking for me?" Yan Yun was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the dwarf and said. (End of chapter)
