"Emotions in romance?"
"Ahem, Wan'er, don't make fun of your husband. Peiling, who are these visitors? Have you asked for their names?"
Yan Yun coughed a few times awkwardly and asked doubtfully.
"I've already asked. One of the groups was led by a male cultivator named Yan, followed by two elders from the Ghost Spirit Sect."
"The other group included a female cultivator named Han Yunzhi from the Yuling Sect, and Dong Xuan'er from the Hehuan Sect." Mu Peiling answered him without hesitation.
"It's actually them?"
Yan Yun was immediately surprised and whispered to himself.
After hearing this, Nangong Wanwen, who was standing next to her, raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and then gave a moving smile.
"It seems that these people do have a deep friendship with their husbands. You might as well meet them, otherwise it would be a bit rude."
Nangong Wan suggested gently.
"These old friends were made by me when my spiritual path was not yet complete. It is appropriate to meet them."
"Pei Ling, please go back and tell your senior brother that I will go to receive guests later. Place them in two VIP pavilions. I want to have a conversation with them respectively."
Yan Yun thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I'll take my leave now."
Mu Peiling bowed respectfully, then turned into a bright light and disappeared without a trace.
Yan Yun was left standing alone, looking at the sky, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face.
"What's going on? My husband seems to be dissatisfied with sister Peiling?"
Nangong Wan was keenly aware of Yan Yun's strangeness and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing trivial, it's just a little hard to understand. I wonder why Madam is willing to treat Pei Ling as a adopted sister after leaving the underworld? Originally, I planned to ask Madam to take this woman into my family as my heir."
Yan Yun put his hands behind his back and shook his head in confusion.
"What's wrong with accepting Peiling as my adopted sister? First of all, I only hope to accompany my husband in pursuing the path of spiritual practice, and I don't want to recruit any disciples."
"Secondly, this woman's life experience is quite similar to mine in the past, and I felt quite speculative during the conversation."
"Finally, instead of letting her get into trouble without knowing why, I would like to recognize her as a sister first, so that whether she becomes her husband's concubine in the future, or he privately regards her as his disciple and teaches her the secret of spiritual practice. Tao will not cause criticism from others. ”
Nangong Wan said softly.
"Since Madam has made a decision, let's do it according to Madam's wishes. I will go in first to meet with those distinguished guests, and I will explain to you in detail later."
Yan Yun responded calmly.
"Husband, just act with peace of mind. I will temporarily return to Lingxi Cave Mansion to wait for your husband to return." Nangong Wan said with a calm smile.
Hearing Nangong Wan's words, Yan Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Madam, the "Girl's Heavenly Moon Jue" you practice is really weird. During the practice, you must use the light of the bright moon filled with yin energy to achieve the best effect."
"In this case, it will take a lot of energy to arrange the magic circle in order to gather enough power of the Yin and Moon."
"However, this power of the yin and moon is extremely harmful to other monks. If you practice within the influence of the magic circle, I am afraid it will delay the progress of your cultivation."
"This means that we cannot practice in the same cave at the same time. We must specially open an independent training cave on another mountain peak."
"I was only attracted by the powerful power of this magic formula at the beginning, but did not seriously consider the difficulties involved." Nangong Wan said apologetically.
Located at the intersection of dozens of luxurious VIP hotels of Luoyun Sect, Mu Peiling was stopping in front of one of the buildings, looking up into the sky from time to time.
The figure suddenly flashed out from the sky, and a dazzling light came like lightning. In an instant, it flew to the attic, and after a short circle, it suddenly landed on the ground.
"See you, sir! All the colleagues from the Ghost Spirit Sect are resting here, and the other two women are in the attic number C."
As soon as Yan Yun showed up in front of the building, Mu Peiling hurried forward and reported in a low voice.
"I already know, please step back first."
Yan Yun glanced at the attic behind Mu Peiling, then glanced at another one not far away, and nodded calmly.
After hearing Yan Yun's words, Mu Peiling bowed respectfully, then turned into a beam of white light and disappeared.
Yan Yun's body moved and he appeared at the entrance of the attic in an instant. His consciousness quickly penetrated into it, and then he stepped inside leisurely.
In the spacious hall on the first floor of the attic, three people, two men and one woman, were sitting, and they were discussing something heatedly.
At this moment, although the words of the three people were full of concern, there was a hint of worry that could not be concealed between their brows.
The moment Yan Yun appeared quietly at the door of the hall, the eyes of the three people were instantly attracted. After seeing Yan Yun's face clearly, the three of them all looked happy and stood up to greet him.
"Three fellow Taoists, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down and talk in detail."
Before the three of them could speak, Yan Yun flashed past like a ghost, and instantly appeared on a wooden chair opposite the three of them, waving gently and speaking calmly.
Elder Zhong and the big man in yellow robe were unable to notice the slightest difference.
"Then I won't be so reserved when I'm here." The pale old man's heart tightened, but he still had a smile on his face and responded politely.
The fragrance of the spirit wood is fragrant, and the emerald green luster in the wooden box is bright. In the flickering light, a thumb-sized emerald green bead lay peacefully in the cloth box.
Master Yan used his spiritual thoughts to examine it carefully, and then he realized that the pearl was neither stone nor wood, and its composition was complex and difficult to identify. However, when the bead appeared in the world, the surroundings were suddenly filled with rich wood spirit energy. Inhaling this breath, Yan Zhenren also felt refreshed.
"It is indeed the spirit-gathering pearl! It appeared in the world in a long time ago. It was born naturally, or it was artificially refined. However, it has been extinct in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time, and your sect actually has one."
< br>
"Fairy Yan Yan, is your sect willing to give me such a valuable thing? As we all know, those who practice wood-based skills can use this bead, and their practice efficiency can be half that of ordinary people."
Yan Yun held the ball in his hands, looked at it for a moment, then turned to the woman in yellow robe and said to her, her tone regaining her composure.
"Although this pearl is the most precious treasure in the world, compared with the inheritance of our sect, we have our own weighing in our hearts.
"Besides, Brother Yan should understand that my Ghost Spirit Sect's martial arts rarely have wood properties, so it doesn't make much sense to leave this thing inside the door.
"The first two items are acceptable, but this Spirit Gathering Pearl is crucial to me. However, if I want to stop Yuling Sect and other sects, your sect needs to complete a task, otherwise..." Yan Yun shook his head slightly.
"What's the matter? As long as I, the Ghost Spirit Sect, can do my best, I will not let my fellow Taoists down."
The big man in yellow robe had bright eyes and asked eagerly.
……
At the same moment, in the forbidden area of Hehuan Sect, deep in Tianyang Pond shrouded in gray mist, a figure sat vaguely cross-legged on a boulder, whispering:
"Counting the time, that treasure is about to fall into Yan Xiao'er's hands. Hum, the Wood Spirit Pearl! With this rare treasure, the speed of cultivation will certainly increase, but when the bottleneck of becoming a god is broken, haha..."
Before he finished speaking, a sinister smile appeared on the man's lips.
In the VIP building, Yan Zhenren held the wooden spirit bead and wanted to put it in his bag together with the other two treasures. The boy's indifferent voice came to his ears.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, do you really plan to keep this bead?"
"What's wrong with this bead?" Master Yan was confused and frowned slightly.
"There is nothing wrong with the bead itself, but the Soul Gathering Bead is actually a failed semi-finished treasure. In the early stages of cultivation, with the help of this bead, the cultivation level increased greatly, and the magic power improved rapidly. However, when reaching a certain level and facing a bottleneck, its flaws became apparent."< br>
"Relying on a single spiritual energy to practice actually weakens the ability to perceive other spiritual energies. For monks below the Nascent Soul stage, this flaw is not significant."
"However, for people like fellow Taoist Yan who need to sense all kinds of vitality of heaven and earth in order to break through, the gain is really not worth the loss."
"Therefore, although the Spirit Gathering Pearl is extremely wonderful, in the spiritual world it is mostly used by low-level disciples with low qualifications to quickly improve their cultivation. High-level monks are unwilling to take this step."
"Such a thing happened? From this point of view, this treasure will not affect my ability to advance to become a god. It is actually worthless to me."
Yan Yun's complexion changed slightly, and he stared at the unknown green bead in his hand, anger welling up in his heart.
"I have already told you that this bead is only a semi-finished product. If we can find several other types of precious wood-based materials, it may be possible to transform it into another treasure - a wood-born bead."
"Although it can't help speed up your cultivation, after it is completely refined, it will give you the magical power of an immortal body, which can protect your life in times of crisis."
The boy explained leisurely.
Yan Yun was extremely shocked and didn't understand what an immortal body was.
Such magical powers only exist in the great demons and ancient demons who have profound knowledge, and in the demonized Tianjue demon corpses. There is no news that any human monk has successfully cultivated it.
The boy smiled softly when he saw this,
"You only need one wood bead to cast your immortal body once. During this period, even if your head falls to the ground and your body is separated, you can quickly recover."
Yan Yun was surprised and confused:
"It can only be used once, isn't it a consumable treasure?"
The boy snorted dissatisfiedly:
"One immortal body is enough to save your life at a critical moment, so why complain anymore? In addition, except for the Wood Spirit Pearl, other required materials are hard to find in the human world. Whether it can be successfully refined is still unknown."< br>
Yan Yun smiled calmly: "I do have a rich collection of wood-based materials."
The boy said bluntly: "I will attach the list of required materials to the refining method. But teaching the refining technique requires corresponding rewards from fellow Taoists."
After hearing this, Yan Yun felt relieved: "If you have any needs, fellow Taoist Tianlan, please let me know."
The boy told him frankly: "Although he has successfully transformed, he still needs elixirs to consolidate his realm. Brother Yan is a leader in the south, so it should be easy to obtain such elixirs."
Yan Yun did not hesitate: "Just include all the items needed by fellow Taoists in the refining method."
The boy nodded with satisfaction: "When my fellow Taoist returns to the cave, I will immediately provide you with the list of materials and the refining method."
Yan Yun responded with a smile, put the Wood Spirit Pearl back into the wooden box, then turned his palm over and put the three treasures into the storage bag.
"Do you think Fellow Daoist Tianlan knows about the drawbacks of the Wood Spirit Bead?" Yan Yun's eyes flickered, and his tone suddenly turned cold.
"It is inconvenient for me to comment on its situation. According to what you have said, this bead has long been abandoned by ancient monks and has been handed down to the world without obvious drawbacks."
"If there is a Yuanying monk with wood attribute skills in the Ghost Spirit Sect who has used this bead, he may be able to detect its harm."
"On the contrary, it is difficult to detect abnormalities based on the bead itself. Do you suspect that those three people intend to use this bead to prevent you from advancing to become a god?" The boy quickly understood.
"I once had this doubt, but now it seems that the Ghost Spirit Sect has no such motive. Even if I am prevented from advancing to become a god, I am still the number one monk in Tiannan."
"How dare they risk angering me and leading to the destruction of the sect? There may be a hidden agenda. Let me think for a moment. The person who can use the Ghost Spirit Sect should be a local monk in Tiannan."
"What impact will it have on others if you prevent me from advancing to become a god? Even if you are not a monk who is a god, no one in Tiannan can defeat me. The only consequence may be that my lifespan will no longer increase, with only a few thousand years left."
"In this way, the Luoyun Sect's suppression of the various sects in Tiannan will be greatly shortened."
"However, for ordinary sects, it makes no difference no matter who is the largest sect in Tiannan. I am afraid that only a few sects such as Huayi Sect, Hehuan Sect and Taiyi Sect are interested in this, either acting alone or secretly United.”
Yan Yun touched his beard and analyzed it calmly.
"Your Excellency's explanation makes things that were originally vague suddenly become clear. Do you think that the other three late Nascent Soul cultivators are involved?"
The boy was quite surprised by Yan Yun's inference, and asked with a wry smile after a while.
"Perhaps so. However, this is only speculation, and the truth is not yet clear. I dare not say how accurate it is." Yan Yun stood up and walked around, looked around, and replied with a sneer.
"It is not difficult to find the truth. Capture those three people and use the soul search technique to find out." The boy suggested in a low voice.
"It is easy to capture the three of them, but it may not result in anything. Even if I know the truth and there is no conclusive evidence, I cannot take action against a certain sect at will."
"What's more, capturing three Yuanying monks from the Ghost Spirit Sect in one fell swoop will surely lead to burning one's body."
"Now, as the number one monk in Tiannan, although I am admired by everyone, I will inevitably arouse jealousy and jealousy. I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to fan the flames and trigger a group of Tiannan monks to attack."
"Even if I have extraordinary strength, I will not be able to withstand the entire Tiannan Immortal World on my own. Such cases are not unheard of in Tiannan."
Yan Yun's expression changed, and then after careful consideration, he still shook his head to express his objection.
"Master Yan is acting too cautiously. With the way I behaved in the spirit world, haha, you should make your own decision on such matters. As long as you can survive this disaster safely, I will not interfere more."
The boy said with a leisurely expression.
"Don't worry, sir. I will always be vigilant when I learn that someone is plotting something evil. Just ignore it for the time being!"
"If the other party stops, then let it go. If they resort to tricks again, flaws will eventually be exposed. All they need is sufficient evidence. Well, by then they will understand what a life and death dilemma is."
Yan Yun's face was calm, but there was an endless chill in his words. (End of chapter)
