"Don't worry, fellow Taoist Master. Since we agree to this matter, we will naturally do our best. Besides, if this secret technique is really beneficial to the attack on the divine transformation stage, we may also come in handy one day in the future. . The old woman laughed and responded.
"If the poor monk is lucky enough to enter the late Nascent Soul stage, this method may also be our chance."
The gray-robed monk said unhurriedly.
Yan Yun nodded gently and didn't say much.
However, Master Hanli seemed quite satisfied with the performance of the three of them. After thanking them loudly, he began to change the layout of the magic circle.
Yan Yun and others first returned to the stone house built with the Sun Essence Stone to rest for a while.
Although they have successfully restored their mana, the frequent manipulation of extremely cold fires for several consecutive days has caused their consciousness to fall into deep fatigue, and they really need to rest and recuperate on a large scale.
Time flies, and a day flies by. When Yan Yun and others walked out of the stone room again, Master Hanli had already been immersed in the cold air in the magic circle, closing his eyes and meditating.
The volume of the milky white cold air mass had increased several times compared to yesterday.
It's obvious that he put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into this matter. As for the middle-aged man in blue shirt and Bai Mengxin, they followed the former back to the place shortly after they entered the stone room.
Only Master Hanli stayed outside the stone room from beginning to end and never left for a moment.
When Yan Yun was about to carefully observe the specific changes in the formation in front of him, he suddenly heard a surprised cry from the monk's mouth. He seemed to be very surprised, and at the same time he had a somewhat surprised expression.
Yan Yun glanced back and found that the monk was looking up at the sky with an indescribable and strange expression on his face.
His heart moved, and he turned around quickly to look, only to see his expression change slightly. It turned out that the vaguely visible entrance had disappeared without a trace at this moment, and the huge copper tripod used to open the passage was also missing.
"Friend Hanli, what is your intention?"
When the old woman saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but couldn't control her inner emotions, and a look of vigilance appeared on her face.
"Haha, fellow Taoists, there is no need to worry. Since I do not want to be disturbed by any unexpected events during the following breakthrough process, I decided to temporarily close this entrance. In addition, during the subsequent breakthrough process, I may also need to use this The power of an artifact called 'Qian Lan Ding'."
Master Hanli was calm and composed, and answered with a smile in the cold air.
"That's it!"
The monk and the old woman looked at each other, showing a trace of hesitation, while Yan Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the silence in the air, and did not speak for a long time. The atmosphere in the cave instantly became tense and depressing.
"It seems that I have not thought well, which has caused doubts among fellow Taoists. In this case, I can give up using this cauldron. Although the entrance still needs to be temporarily closed, I will place the dry blue cauldron near the entrance. I don't know, fellow Taoists. What do you think?”
Master Hanli smiled slightly and said to Yan Yun and others in an amiable manner.
Immediately afterwards, he waved his sleeves, and a ball of blue flame wrapped around the small cauldron and shot straight into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it rose to a height of more than hundreds of feet and stayed firmly below the entrance.
After witnessing this scene, although Yan Yun and others had not completely eliminated their doubts, they felt much relieved when they saw that the small cauldron that could control the entrance was far away from Master Hanli.
The old woman thought for a long time, and finally her expression softened slightly, and she said with a dry smile:
"Fellow Daoist Han Li is overly worried. How dare the three of us question the sincerity of fellow daoist. We were just confused for a moment. We'd better seize the time and help fellow daoist master break through the bottleneck!"
As soon as the words fell, the old woman no longer waited for others to respond, and took the lead in a flash of body and flew into the magic circle.
"Donor Yan, what do you think? Although what Fellow Taoist Han Li said is quite reasonable, the poor monk still has some concerns in his heart. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, it is better for the two of us to advance and retreat together. As for Donor Long, according to what the poor monk said You know, she has a deep connection with Xiaoji Palace, so we still need to be cautious.”
The gray-robed monk actually secretly conveyed a message to Yan Yun.
The battle was changing rapidly, Yan Yun's heart tightened, and his eyes quickly swept over the monk, only to see the corners of the monk's mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
Yan Yun was thinking about the authenticity of the other party's words. Suddenly, a loud thunderous sound came from the Xuling Palace above the Xuanyu Cave. The whole cave shook violently, as if it had been hit hard.
Everyone looked horrified.
At this moment, if you stand on the top of the giant mountain of Xiaoji Palace, you can see an ice and snow phoenix with a body tens of feet high and a body as white as jade.
As he was soaring around the forbidden light curtain of the giant mountain, with his wings spread out, the cold wind howled by, and a huge iceberg of more than a hundred feet was formed out of thin air under him, and then his claws loosened.
In an instant, like a mountain bearing down on the top, the iceberg suddenly fell down and hit the light curtain heavily, causing a deafening noise.
Countless dazzling white lights splashed out.
The originally indestructible light curtain showed strange distortions, but it could not be broken in the end. Despite this, the giant mountain continued to tremble under the impact, and some fragile buildings on the mountain even collapsed instantly.
This giant phoenix was transformed by the woman in the silver shirt.
Due to the heavy losses suffered by the low-level ice sea demon tribe before, her heart was burning with anger, and she even ignored the fact that she was a world spirit beast with cold attributes, and ignored the outer ice-cold restriction formation.
He forcibly broke through the space barrier, reached the sky above the Ice City, and used his magical power to attack the protective restrictions of Xiaoji Palace.
Although she successfully launched a surprise attack, causing the monks in the giant mountain to fall into chaos, the high-level monks in the Xiaoji Palace below naturally would not sit still and let her continue to attack.
Just when the white halo on the demon bird was flashing, and it was about to condense the iceberg again, a silver stream of light and a ball of white light flew out from the light curtain below. The figures swaying in it were Bai Yaoyi and the gray-haired old man.
Before she could get close to Bingfeng, Bai Yaoyi let out a sweet shout and slashed out with two silver flying swords.
The gray-haired old man rubbed his hands with a gloomy expression, and a treasure surged in the wind. It sped out from his sleeves and turned out to be a crystal clear jade bottle.
The bottle's aura flickered, but a roaring sound came from the mouth of the bottle, which seemed quite mysterious.
Upon seeing this, Bingfeng's light green eyes lit up, and he waved his wings violently. A dozen huge ice spears that were more than ten feet long appeared under the wings and fired towards the two of them.
When the gray-haired old man saw this, he let out a cold snort from his nose, and made a seal with his hands in the white light. The jade bottle suddenly shook, and dozens of black and white rays of light spewed out from the mouth of the bottle. After a flash, It was strangely wrapped around those ice spears.
Surprisingly, these rays of light seemed to contain some kind of magical power. As soon as all the ice guns came into contact with them, they immediately trembled and shrank rapidly, becoming the size of chopsticks in the blink of an eye. Then they were blown away by these black and white rays of light. Volume, inhaled into the jade bottle. A trace of surprise flashed in Bingfeng's eyes, but he had no time to think about it. His body swayed and turned into an endless wind and snow, overwhelmingly sweeping towards the two people opposite.
Bai Yaoyi and the gray-haired old man were not afraid. Two silver streams of light and a ball of black and white aura rushed forward with the light shining brightly.
Suddenly, a deafening roar sounded from the top of the giant mountain, wind and snow mingled, and spiritual lights flickered.
However, the strange thing is that the beautiful woman and other Xiaoji Palace elders did not show up to support. They must be either presiding over the forbidden magic circle or going to fight other high-level monsters.
In the fierce battle outside, Yan Yun and others who were in the Xuanyu Cave in the Void Spirit Palace also felt the impact of the battle, and they all looked shocked.
Master Hanli also turned his head to look in the direction of the cave entrance, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"It seems that those monsters have already started to act. As a result, we must be careful about the opening of the cave entrance. If we are interfered with at the critical moment of breakthrough, I am afraid that all previous efforts will be wasted. I originally planned to rely on the power of all my fellow Taoists to resist the group of monsters. I will definitely I will not do anything harmful to the three fellow Taoists.”
The tone of the great elder of Xiaoji Palace became increasingly serious, and at the same time he revealed firm determination.
"We can understand what Brother Hanli said. However, when we help fellow Taoists break through the bottleneck, if we succeed, their cultivation will improve, but our vitality will be greatly damaged. Under the situation of one and the other, we are in a Such a closed underground environment is really worrying. A gentleman must not stand behind a dangerous wall, and precautions are indispensable. Although we have a deep friendship with your palace, we risked our lives with just a few promises. It seems too risky to leave it to fellow Taoists.”
The monk frowned slightly and said slowly.
"Indeed, it is normal for fellow Taoists to be so cautious. If it were me, I would not put myself in such a dangerous situation. So, does Master Mojiu have a better solution?"
Master Hanli asked slightly helplessly.
"Let's do this. If fellow Taoists have no other ideas, you might as well leave this dry blue tripod to the three of us for safekeeping for the time being. After this matter comes to an end, the three of us will definitely return the tripod to Zhao in its entirety. In this way, we and the others will Then I can help fellow Taoists break through bottlenecks with peace of mind.”
The gray-robed monk's eyes flashed as he suddenly made this suggestion.
As soon as these words came out, Yan Yun and the old woman standing on the light pillar were both stunned, and then nodded as if they had some understanding.
"What a great idea! It's really the best of both worlds."
Yan Yun immediately agreed.
The old woman pondered for a moment and nodded slowly in agreement.
When the middle-aged man in green shirt heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but interject:
"Master Mojiu, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this. Master should know the origin of this dry blue tripod. It is my exclusive magic weapon for practicing dry blue ice flame. How can it fall into the hands of others easily."
< br>
As he spoke, he shook his head in protest.
"We are only keeping it temporarily. Before leaving this place, we will definitely return this tripod to fellow Taoist. We have no intention of keeping it for ourselves. Fellow Taoist Ouyang is too nervous."
The gray-robed monk, who had always shown himself to be kind and friendly, now seemed extremely determined.
"But..."
The middle-aged man in green shirt was about to continue arguing, but was interrupted by Master Hanli:
"That's all, Junior Brother Ouyang. Master Mojiu's words are not unreasonable. Well, I agree to this matter. However, which of the three Taoist friends should I give this blue tripod to for safekeeping?"
Although the great elder agreed to the matter, his last rhetorical question made Yan Yun hesitate, and he glanced at the other two people involuntarily.
The monk and the old woman also fell into silence, and no one spoke for a while.
"Since it was Master Mojiu who proposed this matter, let him keep this cauldron on his behalf. I have always believed in the master's character." The old woman's eyes moved slightly as she said this.
Yan Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking quickly in his mind, he finally nodded slightly.
"Since the two fellow Taoists trust me so much, the poor monk will temporarily keep this cauldron." The gray-robed monk did not refuse and solemnly agreed.
Seeing that the three of them had already made their decision, Master Hanli didn't waste any more time. He immediately pointed at the small cauldron high in the sky. After the cauldron spun around, the blue flames around it converged and slowly fell downwards.
When the gray-robed monk saw this, he didn't dare to neglect it. With a flick of his sleeve, a green glow flew out of his sleeve, and the small cauldron was caught in it and was temporarily imprisoned.
Although it is said that this cauldron can produce dry blue ice flames, he also possesses a kind of extremely cold flame, so there is no need to worry about anything wrong.
This time, Yan Yun took the initiative and turned into a beam of escape light that shot towards the white light pillar. To be honest, through observing and practicing in the past few days, Yan Yun is really familiar with this secret technique.
But the final breakthrough method is the most important, and it must be personally witnessed in order to finally understand the entire secret technique.
So even though Yan Yun felt a little uneasy about the cave being sealed, he didn't have much fear when the Self-Containment God passed through people.
Even if the Great Elder of Xiaoji Palace really succeeds in breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage, there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of until he has a stable state.
What's more, the restrictions of the Divine Transformation Stage in the current human world were also mentioned in the jade slip left by Linglong when he flew away. After understanding it a little bit, his fear disappeared a lot.
However, for the sake of safety, with a thought, he quietly called the Taiyin True Fire into the magic circle and lurked under a certain rock.
Others did not notice anything during this process.
At this time, the gray-robed monk smiled and flew up, and others also flew into the magic circle.
Master Hanli did not hesitate to flick his fingers together to activate the magic circle again.
Immediately, rays of light appeared all around, and a layer of light curtain emerged again, covering everyone in it. A white misty hurricane also blew up, covering up the light curtain.
Yan Yun blinked and looked around carefully.
Although the activated restriction seems to be the same as the previous days, it is obvious that the spiritual energy fluctuations are still somewhat different.
With his attainments close to that of a formation master, he immediately saw some of the mysteries. He analyzed them silently in his heart, but his face remained calm. (End of chapter)
