Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Yun Yao also came forward and exclaimed: "This golden stone is really special. I have never seen it before. Its energy feels very pure and powerful."

Qin Yue nodded with satisfaction, "I think so too. We have limited time to practice here, so we must make full use of these resources and strive to improve our strength as soon as possible."

At this time, Rocky had appeared beside them without them noticing. He smiled and said, "Yes, your discovery is very valuable. Next, I will teach you how to use the gold stone to refine weapons."

Hearing Luo Qi's words, the three of them showed a serious look. Lin Feng and Qin Yue began to prepare the various materials needed for refining, while Yun Yao helped to collect fire spirit grass in case of emergency.

After some effort, everything was ready. Rocky stood in front of the three people and said seriously, "Weapon refining is a technique that tests your mind and will. You need to put all your heart and soul into it to achieve the best results. Remember, every step is crucial and you can't be careless."

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood the master's teachings. Afterwards, Luo Qi instructed Qin Yue to place the golden stone in the center of the fire, and then added several other rare materials. As the flames gradually rose, the golden stone slowly melted into liquid, shining with dazzling light.

"Now is the key step," Rocky reminded, "Qin Yue, you must concentrate and integrate your cultivation into the ore. Only in this way can the weapon gain higher power."

Qin Yue took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and poured all his strength into the golden liquid. As time passed, the golden liquid became brighter and brighter, and finally solidified into a long sword emitting golden light.

"Okay, it's done!" Rocky clapped his hands and said, "Qin Yue, pick up this sword and feel it to see if it meets your expectations."

Qin Yue stretched out his hand and grasped the newly forged long sword, and instantly felt a strong force surging through his body. He gently waved it a few times, and the blade cut through the air, making crisp sounds. "It's great! I can feel the power it contains. This sword will become my right-hand man in the future."

Lin Feng and Yun Yao were also happy for Qin Yue's success. In the following time, they practiced under Rocky's guidance. Lin Feng mainly practiced internal skills to enhance his internal strength; Yun Yao continued to strengthen his defensive ability; and Qin Yue kept trying to master the various skills of the new sword.

Just as they were fully engaged in their training, suddenly, there was a tremor throughout the secret realm. The mountains in the distance seemed to be shaking, and there was an air of uneasiness in the air.

Rocky frowned and said in a deep voice: "Oh no, someone has invaded the secret realm! Everyone, prepare for battle immediately!"

Lin Feng, Yun Yao and Qin Yue quickly adjusted their state, staring at their surroundings nervously, waiting for the upcoming challenge.

At this time, a group of black shadows slowly walked out of the forest, led by a tall man in a black robe, with a grim face and cold eyes. "You juniors from the Tianmen Sect, how dare you break into our territory? Today, you will pay the price for this!"

Lin Feng immediately stood at the front, clenched his fists, and prepared for the upcoming battle. "Who are you? This is clearly a secret place discovered by our Tianmen Sect. What makes you say this is your territory?"

The man in black sneered and swept his eyes over the three people, seeming to take them lightly. "You ignorant youngsters, this is the center of the Dark Forest, which has always been a forbidden area for our Shadow Moon Sect. You have violated a taboo by trespassing without permission."

Yun Yao took a step forward gently, her eyes firm, "We have no intention of offending you, we are just here to practice. If you are willing to leave, we can both be in peace."

“Humph,” the man in black sneered and waved his hand, “It’s too late to say this now. If you know what’s good for you, leave immediately and leave behind everything you brought out, otherwise…”

Before he finished speaking, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out: "Oh my, this is really interesting. I saw the quarrel among the younger generations!"

Everyone looked back and saw an old man in a white robe slowly approaching with a kind smile on his face, as if he knew everything. When Rocky saw the old man coming, he immediately saluted respectfully: "Senior, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The old man laughed, walked up and patted Rocky on the shoulder: "Don't be so reserved, we are all friends." Then, he turned his gaze to the group of men in black, especially the man in the lead, "My little brother, I think you seem to have some misunderstandings. This secret land is indeed a good place, but it is not the exclusive territory of your Shadow Moon Sect. Everyone has the right to practice here."

The man in black frowned when he heard this, and was obviously a little surprised by the appearance of this old man. "Senior, who are you?"

The old man smiled and said, "I am an old Taoist who lives in seclusion here. My name is Yun Zhongzi. Since you are in trouble, how about letting me, an old man, to administer justice?"

Hearing the three words "Yun Zhongzi", the black-clothed man's expression suddenly became stern. He had obviously heard of this name. The rumored Yun Zhongzi was an extremely powerful being, not only with a profound cultivation, but also with mysterious means. Thinking of this, his attitude immediately became respectful: "Senior, since you have spoken, we in the Shadow Moon Sect naturally dare not disobey. However..."

"But what?" the old man asked with a raised eyebrow.

"However," the black-clothed man said solemnly, "there are rules in our sect that unless there are special circumstances, we cannot abandon this area at will. Could you please wait for a moment while I go back and report to the sect master?"

Yun Zhongzi nodded, signaling the other party to leave first. The man in black then led his men away in a hurry, leaving behind a temporary peaceful situation.

After the other party's figure disappeared into the forest, Rocky breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks to the arrival of the senior, otherwise there would have been an unnecessary conflict today."

Yun Zhongzi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a small matter. But having said that, your performance in this secret place really impressed me. Especially you, Qin Yue, your newly forged long sword is quite good, and I am a little moved by it."

Qin Yue touched his head embarrassedly when he heard this: "Senior, you are too kind. In fact, it is all because of my good teaching."

Yun Zhongzi nodded and turned his gaze to Lin Feng and Yun Yao: "You two are not bad either. You are so devoted to your cultivation here. You will become great in the future. However, during this process, have you encountered any interesting things or challenges?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "In fact, we were just discussing how to use some of the resources here to improve our strength. Senior, do you think our current direction is correct? Do you have any better suggestions?"

Yun Zhongzi smiled and said, "You are heading in the right direction, but remember not to rush for success. The path of cultivation is long, and it is important to keep a normal mind. Let's put it this way. I will stay here for a while. If you need any help, just come to me."

The three of them showed gratitude at the same time and bowed to express their gratitude. As night fell, the valley regained its tranquility and peace. Although the road ahead was still long, at this moment, their hearts were filled with hope and faith.

"Okay, let's stop here today. You guys go back and rest first, and continue practicing hard tomorrow." Yun Zhongzi waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse.

Lin Feng, Yun Yao and Qin Yue smiled at each other and said in unison: "Senior, thank you for tonight. We will work harder and strive to break through ourselves as soon as possible!" Yun Zhongzi nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave. The three young monks walked towards their respective cultivation places with full expectations, silently vowing in their hearts to fight for their own future.

As night fell, the starry sky in the secret realm was as bright as a wash, as if silently witnessing the growth and efforts of several young cultivators. Lin Feng, Yun Yao and Qin Yue returned to their residences, each immersed in their own cultivation.

The next morning, the sun had just shone into the valley, and the whole world was filled with the breath of new life. The three of them came to the training ground early, ready to continue their unfinished training.

"What is the focus of our training today?" Lin Feng asked, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Rocky looked at him with a smile: "Lin Feng, you mentioned last night that you wanted to improve your flying sword skills. Today I have specially prepared a gift for you." After that, he took out an exquisite box from his arms.

"This is..." Lin Feng was a little surprised, but took it with curiosity.

Luo Qi nodded and motioned him to open it. Lin Feng slowly opened the box, and saw a flying sword with a gorgeous shape and flowing light inside. The blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, emitting a faint green light, and the hilt was inlaid with several shining crystals.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Yun Yao exclaimed, "Lin Feng, this sword is so beautiful!"

"This is a top-grade flying sword given to me by my master, named 'Biying'." Luo Qi introduced, "It not only has an outstanding appearance, but also contains powerful power. As long as you practice hard, this flying sword will definitely help you."

Lin Feng held the flying sword with both hands and felt a warm power spreading from the sword to his whole body. "Master, thank you so much! I will cherish it."

Rocky nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. Now I will teach you how to use 'Biying'. First, you need to establish a spiritual connection with it, so that you can truly unleash its potential."

Rocky asked Lin Feng to sit down and instructed him to close his eyes and empty his mind. Under his guidance, Lin Feng began to try to communicate with 'Biying'. At first, his mind was blank, but gradually, a warm and kind voice seemed to ring out.

"Can you feel it?" Rocky asked softly.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and said excitedly: "I feel it! It seems like something resonates in my heart, it's very familiar."

"That's right." Rocky said with a smile, "The next step is to inject your spiritual power into the flying sword. Remember, this process cannot be rushed, and you need to adapt gradually. Now try to slowly guide the spiritual power in your body into the flying sword."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and followed the method taught by his master to gradually guide the spiritual power in his body into the "Biying". As time passed, the light on the flying sword became brighter and brighter, emitting a unique aura.

Finally, at a certain moment, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of determination and joy. "I feel it, the flying sword seems to have merged with me!"

Qin Yue walked forward and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "Brother, congratulations! With such a powerful flying sword, you will definitely be more confident in future battles."

"Not bad indeed." Rocky nodded in praise. "Let's try to control it next. Remember, Biying is very fast, you have to learn how to control it accurately."

Under Rocky's guidance, Lin Feng began his first attempt at control. At first, he was a little unfamiliar with the flying sword, and the flying trajectory of the flying sword was not very stable, but he quickly adjusted himself and gradually mastered the operation of the flying sword with his keen perception.

After a while, Lin Feng was able to control the "Green Shadow" to fly freely in the air. Wherever the sword tip passed, it left a faint green light, like a dragon flying through the air.

Seeing Lin Feng's progress, Yun Yao couldn't help but show admiration. "Lin Feng, I didn't expect you to get the hang of it so quickly. It seems like you and this flying sword are really compatible."

"Thanks for the compliment." Lin Feng said modestly, "But I still have a lot to learn, such as how to use the flying sword to perform skills."

Rocky smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we have plenty of time. All three of you should work hard and strive to become a real master as soon as possible."

At this time, a sound came from the edge of the forest not far away, which aroused everyone's vigilance. Rocky frowned and said, "Everyone be careful, it seems someone is coming."

Everyone quickly gathered together, on full alert. A moment later, a figure in black flashed out from the bushes. It was the tall man seen before. But this time, he was accompanied by two other people dressed in the same way.

"It's you again!" Lin Feng said vigilantly, "What else do you want to do this time?"

The man in black sneered, "We just came to see if the little guys are still making a fuss. I heard that you got a nice treasure, why don't you take it out and let us see it?"

Yun Yao said coldly: "Don't dream about it, if you have the ability, go and refine it yourself!"

"Haha, the little girl speaks quite fiercely." Another man in black taunted, "In that case, let's have a good fight!"

As soon as the words fell, a tense and exciting duel was about to begin. Neither side was willing to give in easily, and the entire secret realm seemed to be shrouded in a haze by this battle.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded: "Oh, what a coincidence. How can such a lively event be missed?"

Everyone looked back and saw Yun Zhongzi appear in front of them again, still wearing the same white robe and with a kind smile on his face.

The man in black saw this and his expression changed slightly, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Senior Yun, why are you here too?"

"Hmph, don't worry about how I got here." Yun Zhongzi's eyes were as sharp as a knife. "Since you guys insist on picking a fight, then I might as well join in the fun." (End of this chapter)
