"Brother Yang, please follow me!" The cultivator surnamed Ren called out to Yang Qian with a warm smile on his face. He turned around, pointed to a loft in front of him, and explained, "Bai Ning Pavilion is over there. It seems that Junior Sister Bai thinks highly of Fellow Daoist Yang. This Bai Ning Pavilion was specially built by Junior Sister to entertain close friends. The environment is elegant and quiet, and few outsiders can have this honor."

"Really? In that case, I'm really flattered!" Yang Qian couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

Monk Ren chuckled, waved his sleeves, and flew with Yang Qian to the side of the mountain wall, and finally landed in front of a loft.

This attic has three floors, each more than ten feet high, looking magnificent.

The attic is built entirely with emerald green wood, and most of it is cleverly embedded in the mountain wall, blending in with the surrounding natural environment.

Above the door of the attic, there is a light yellow plaque with three large silver characters "Bai Ning Pavilion" written on it. The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, exuding a sense of elegance.

Just as Yang Qian and the monk surnamed Ren landed, a woman in white came out from the attic.

She had a beautiful face and a gentle temperament. When she saw the cultivator named Ren and Yang Qian, she was immediately startled, but she stepped forward without hesitation and saluted, "Greetings, Master Ren! This must be Senior Yang, right?"

"Yes! Is Fairy Bai in there?" Yang Qian nodded calmly.

"My master has just finished his retreat and is consolidating his magic power in the pavilion. He specially asked his disciple to come and greet Senior Yang. I hope you won't mind!" The beautiful woman stepped aside and made way behind her, but she didn't invite the monk named Ren again.

"Junior Brother Yan, I want to meet your master. I have something to say to her." The cultivator named Ren spoke without thinking.

"Uncle Ren, you are really embarrassing me." The beautiful woman raised a bitter smile and frowned, looking quite helpless. "You also know that Master has already instructed that she doesn't want to see you again. Last time, Junior Sister Gong let you in without permission, and you suffered a lot afterwards. You are not unaware of this lesson."

The monk surnamed Ren blushed slightly, but soon returned to normal. He rolled his eyes and turned the topic to Yang Qian who was standing beside him: "The situation is different this time. I came here with Brother Yang. Your master can't even give Brother Yang face, right?"

Yang Qian was stunned when he heard this, then a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, but he did not refute.

Hearing this, the beautiful woman showed an even more embarrassed look on her face. She hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Well... I'll go ask Master for instructions again."

"Yan'er, let your uncle Ren Bi in, I want to see him again." At this moment, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from the attic. It was Bai Yaoyi's voice.

"Yes, sir! Uncle Ren, please come in!" The beautiful woman's expression relaxed, as if relieved of a heavy burden. She took a few steps back to the side and no longer stood in front of the man named Ren.

When the monk surnamed Ren heard Bai Yaoyi's voice transmission, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He immediately transmitted the message with his lips slightly moving, as if he wanted to have a telepathic conversation with Bai Yaoyi outside the attic.

"Senior Brother Ren Bi, if you have anything to say, please go into the pavilion and discuss it in detail. Isn't it too disrespectful for our Xiaoji Palace to leave a great cultivator like Brother Yang outside like this?" Bai Yaoyi's light words came again, and she didn't seem to want to avoid Yang Qian at all.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qian raised his hand, touched his chin, and smiled without saying anything.

"This is my negligence! Brother Yang, let's go inside and talk about it." The cultivator named Ren was stunned, and then said to Yang Qian awkwardly.

"No way! Brother Ren is a man of temperament at first glance!" Yang Qian replied with a smile.

Not to mention Yang Qian, even other outsiders could see Ren Bi's purpose. After all, when this person heard that Yang Qian was here to visit Bai Yaoyi, he tried to establish friendship with him.

Led by the beautiful woman, the two of them walked into the Bai Ning Pavilion.

The first floor of the attic was not too big, only a square about twenty feet long and wide, with a simple set of green bamboo tables and chairs, but at each corner there was a plate of pale yellow spiritual flowers that Yang Qian did not recognize, the size of a fist, with a fragrant smell, making the attic full of spiritual energy, and Yang Qian could not help but take a few more glances.

Bai Yaoyi did not come down immediately, but when Yang Qian and the other man sat down on the bamboo chair, the woman's apologetic voice came from above:
"Brother Yang, please wait a moment. My cultivation method is a little special and will be completed soon. I will go downstairs to meet you. You may try the Ice Spirit Fruit from our Xiaoji Palace first."

As soon as these words fell, the beautiful woman who was well prepared clapped her hands lightly, and two young women in white shirts walked in from outside the attic, each holding a vermilion wooden plate, on each of which was a bunch of thumb-sized crystal berries, which were round and beautiful, like pearls.

After placing the wooden plate on the table next to the bamboo chair, the two women withdrew respectfully.

“The Ice Spirit Fruit is unique to our Xiaoji Palace. Even the elders in the palace like us can only get a few bunches every year. This fruit is fresh and sweet, and it contains extremely pure icy spiritual power. If a cultivator who practices ice-attributed techniques eats it frequently, it will also be beneficial to his cultivation.” Ren Bi looked at the fruit and began to explain to Yang Qian, then picked up a fruit, threw it into her mouth, and began to chew it.

Seeing the other party like this, Yang Qian naturally would not be polite and also picked one and put it in his mouth.

As a result, after he bit it into pieces, a ball of icy air rolled in his mouth. It was indeed pure icy spiritual power.

Although Yang Qian was not practicing ice-attributed techniques, his thunder-attributed spiritual roots were mutated from water and earth spiritual roots. In addition, he possessed the extremely cold flame that was a fusion of the Shura Holy Fire, the Taiyin True Fire, and the Sun Essence Fire. Naturally, he would not take this bit of cold air seriously. As soon as this ball of spiritual power entered his throat, it was completely absorbed.

Yang Qian smacked his lips immediately, said a few words of praise, then picked up another pill with interest and put it in his mouth again.

Ren Bi, who was watching Yang Qian from the side, couldn't help but change his expression slightly when he saw this scene.

You must know that although the Ice Spirit Fruit has a great reputation and has certain benefits for any cultivator after taking it, cultivators who do not practice the ice and fire attribute techniques must go through a process of converting cold energy before taking it. Otherwise, if they swallow it rashly, it will easily cause frostbite on their kidneys, and even a great cultivator will find it difficult to continue refining it.

However, Yang Qian in front of him, whose spiritual power had clearly been emitting pure thunder-attribute spiritual power, was able to swallow the fruit without hesitation, which was really surprising.

As for taking two Ice Spirit Fruits in a row, even if he practiced fire-attributed techniques, he would not dare to do so. Only the great elder and the palace master in the palace could do so.

Just as the Xiaoji Palace elder was secretly surprised, footsteps were heard from the attic, and a pretty woman in white walked down the stairs gracefully.

Yang Qian narrowed his eyes, stood up immediately, and said with a hearty laugh: "Fairy Bai, it's been a few years since we last met. I hope you are doing well!"

"Junior Sister Bai, you finally agreed to see me." Ren Bi stood up and said with great joy.

"When we parted that day, I knew that Brother Yang would not make an appointment without reason. As early as several years ago, I had been waiting for you in the palace. Your arrival today was beyond my expectation. As for Senior Brother Ren, if it weren't for Brother Yang this time, I really don't want to see you again." Bai Yaoyi said to Yang Qian with a smile, but the moment she turned to face Ren Bi, her face suddenly became stern, and her voice became a little stiff. "I have found a solution this time, and I will definitely not let you down." Ren Bi said anxiously without any context.

"Have you found a solution? If it's just this matter, let's talk about it later. Fellow Daoist Yang has come from afar, so let's put this matter aside for now." Bai Yaoyi immediately shook her head.

"That's good. I'll find a chance to talk to you about this in detail later. Now that you're willing to see me again, I'm already very pleased." Ren Bi was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately figured something out and said with a smile.

Bai Yaoyi had no expression, just nodded and sat down on the main seat in the attic.

Yang Qian and the other person also sat down again.

"Fairy Bai's cultivation has improved a lot compared to a few years ago!" After looking at Bai Yaoyi for a few times, Yang Qian said with a smile.

"Brother Yang, you are joking. As far as supernatural powers are concerned, even three or five concubines combined are still far inferior to you. Even the great elder of this palace was full of praise for you, Brother Yang, after hearing about it." Bai Yaoyi replied with a bright smile.

The girl still remembered Yang Qian's performance in Yinyang Cave and Kunwu Mountain that day, so she was extremely serious about Yang Qian's arrival and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

In Bai Yaoyi's mind, even the Grand Elder and the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace were probably not as powerful as Yang Qian in terms of magical powers. Therefore, she had passed this news to the palace as early as when Yang Qian arrived, but she didn't know how the Grand Elder and the Palace Master would respond.

When Ren Bi heard Bai Yaoyi and her own elder praising Yang Qian so much, her face changed and she looked at Yang Qian again in surprise.

Bai Yaoyi continued to say to Yang Qian:

"Several years ago, Brother Yang mentioned to me that he would come to this palace. When Daoist brother said this, it should not be groundless!"

"Since Fellow Daoist Bai has asked me this, I will not hide it and will tell you frankly. I came to Xiaoji Palace because I want to ask Fairy Bai for a favor." Yang Qian pondered for a moment and replied with a smile.

"I have never forgotten the great favor you gave me that day! Just speak up, Brother Yang." Bai Yaoyi said without hesitation.

For this woman, even if Yang Qian had not rescued her from the ice, she would have tried her best to help him just because of his amazing magical powers in the late Nascent Soul stage.

After all, she was absolutely happy to be able to make friends with such a powerful cultivator.

"It's not a big deal actually. I've heard that Beiming Island is rich in many ice-attributed elixirs, such as the Mysterious Ice Flower, the Cold Flame Grass, etc. And I need to prepare several elixirs now, and these two elixirs happen to be the indispensable main ingredients. Therefore, even though it's thousands of miles away, I have to come here." Yang Qian said this calmly, his voice was calm, and he was not lying.

The stock of Xuepo Pills is running low, and some of the main ingredients can be replaced with Hanyan Grass and Xuanbing Flower.

Although such a replacement will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the elixir, it is still of some benefit to Yang Qian at the moment.

One of the purposes of this trip is to get these elixirs.

"The cold flame grass is fine, it's a common thing, but the black ice flower is quite rare and hard to find. Although there are not many places where this spiritual medicine can be used, those black ice flowers that are very old have already been picked."

Bai Yaoyi didn't think there was anything wrong with what Yang Qian asked, and immediately agreed, "However, I can ask my disciples to check and see if there are any new discoveries recently. Only on newly discovered black ice can this flower grow. This should not be difficult to do."

“It would be great if Fairy Bai could help! If this matter were left to me, Yang, it would be quite troublesome. After all, in Dajin, only the Beiming Ice Island has this rare ice-attributed spiritual herb.” Yang Qian nodded and said with a smile on his face.

"This is a trivial matter! But I'm afraid that it will take more than a day or two to get news about this matter. Since Brother Yang has come to our Xiaoji Palace, you might as well stay for a while. I admire Brother Yang's magical powers very much, and this is a good opportunity for me to have a good exchange of what I have learned with fellow Taoist." Bai Yaoyi said with a smile, which made Ren Bi a little dazed for a moment.

"Yang is also very interested in your palace's martial arts! I have long heard that in terms of cold-attribute martial arts, the Xiaoji Palace's several top-level martial arts can be regarded as the best in Dajin. Although I am not practicing the cold attribute, I am proficient in all the laws of the world, so I am sure I can benefit a lot from it." Yang Qian said with a smile.

After you asked me a few questions and I replied, the girl and Yang Qian couldn't help but start chatting.

Yang Qian already had a high level of cultivation and rich experience in fighting. After a while, he started discussing cultivation issues with Bai Yaoyi.

And this elder of Xiaoji Palace named Ren Bi, like Bai Yaoyi, is also in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. He can interject at appropriate times and has some unique insights.

In fact, every time Yang Qian spoke, many of his words made Bai Yaoyi and Ren Bijun suddenly enlightened, and they gained a lot, and they felt that his insights were unique.

This made the three of them get along well with each other and have a pleasant conversation.

After the three of them talked in the attic for half a day, Yang Qian finally felt that the girl had just come out of seclusion and should not be disturbed too much, so he took the initiative to leave.

Seeing this, Bai Yaoyi did not insist on keeping him, but quickly ordered the beautiful woman named Yan to lead Yang Qian to the VIP building to stay temporarily.

She instructed that once there was any news about Xuan Bing, she would inform Yang Qian immediately.

So Yang Qian got the woman's promise, and immediately bowed to the two of them, then followed the beautiful woman out of the attic.

However, Ren Bi had no intention of leaving immediately, so she didn't know what the two senior brothers and sisters would continue to talk about.

Under the guidance of the beautiful woman, Yang Qian walked towards another group of pavilions built against the mountain.

There, a dozen or so exquisite lofts of similar style stood in an orderly manner, which were obviously the legendary VIP buildings.

After taking a few glances from a distance, they headed towards one of the towers. (End of this chapter)
