Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

Yan Yun had just stood firm when he saw a middle-aged woman in white walking out from the depths of the attic.

"Greetings, Master Ren! This must be Senior Yan, right?"

The beautiful woman was a little surprised when she saw the monk named Ren traveling with Yan Yun.

"Yes, the fairy is sitting inside right now."

Yan Yun answered in an exceptionally calm tone.

"My master has just successfully completed his training and is busy consolidating his own magical power, so I have specially sent a disciple to wait for you, Daoist Fellow Yan, outside the door. I hope you can understand the inconvenience."

The beautiful woman made way for Yan Yun and gave instructions to the rear, but she had no intention of inviting the monk named Ren.

"My dear nephew Yan'er, I have an important matter that I need to discuss with your master in person. There are some things I must tell her in person."

Monk Ren made the request without hesitation.

"Uncle Ren, this matter has troubled me quite a bit. You should know that Master has already made it clear that he does not want to see you again. Last time, Junior Sister Gong agreed to let you go to visit her, but she ended up being severely punished." The beautiful woman smiled bitterly with an extremely helpless look.

"This time the situation is different. I am here with Brother Yan. I believe that the honorable master will not be able to refuse to see a distinguished guest like Brother Yan."

The monk surnamed Ren's face flushed slightly, and after his eyes turned, he actually mentioned Yan Yun as his backer.

Yan Yun was speechless when he heard this and could only remain silent.

"Now this situation..."

The beautiful woman was in hesitation.

"Girl Yan'er, please invite your uncle Ren into the pavilion. I still want to see him again."

A pleasant female voice suddenly came from above the attic. It turned out to be Bai Yaoyi who spoke.

"I will obey your orders! Uncle Ren, please come in."

The beautiful woman responded as if relieved. She then made way for Ren Bi again and stopped blocking her way.

When the monk surnamed Ren heard Bai Yaoyi's call, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face, and he immediately moved his lips slightly to communicate through voice transmission, as if he was planning to start a private conversation with Bai Yaoyi outside the attic.

"Brother Ren Bi, if you have any important matters, please come to the pavilion to discuss them in detail. Wouldn't it be too disrespectful for our Xiaoji Palace to leave Fellow Daoist Yan outside?"

Bai Yaoyi's tone remained calm, as if she didn't care at all about Yan Yun's presence.

After hearing this, Yan Yun stroked his beard and just smiled without saying anything.

"It is true that I did not think it through. Brother Yan, let's go in first and talk about it."

The monk named Ren was stunned for a moment, then apologized to Yan Yun awkwardly.

"No, no! Brother Ren looks like a generous man!" Yan Yun responded with a smile on his face.

At this point, Yan Yun finally understood a little bit, why this monk surnamed Ren was so enthusiastic to establish a relationship with Bai Yaoyi when he heard that he was here to visit her. Obviously, the other party had deep feelings for Bai Yaoyi.

This made Yan Yun's originally tense nerves relax a lot.

Under the guidance of the beautiful woman, the two entered the building called Bai Ning Pavilion.

The area of ​​the first floor of the attic is not too large, only a square space of about twenty meters long and wide.

The interior furnishings were simple and plain, with only a set of tables and chairs made of green bamboo, and a pot of pale yellow spiritual flowers that Yan Yun had never seen before placed in each of the four corners.

The flowers are as big as fists and have a strong fragrance, filling the entire attic with a fresh scent.

Bai Yaoyi did not show up immediately, but when Yan Yun and the other two just sat down on the bamboo chairs, Bai Yaoyi's guilt-filled voice immediately floated over from the upper floor:

"Brother Yan, please wait patiently. The magic formula I'm practicing is somewhat unique. After I finish practicing, I will get up and go downstairs to meet you. Before that, Brother Yan can taste the unique ice spirit fruit of our Xiaoji Palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, the beautiful woman, who had been prepared, immediately clapped her hands twice.

In an instant, two young women in white cotton clothes walked out of the attic, each holding a vermilion wooden tray in their hands.

On each plate was placed a bunch of fragrant thumb-sized crystal berries, as smooth and round as pearls.

After hearing the instructions, the two women gently placed the wooden tray on the bamboo table next to them, and then respectfully left the room.

"Bingbing Fruit is a precious fruit unique to our Xiaoji Palace. Even for us Taizhang, we can only get a few bunches every year. This fruit tastes delicious and sweet, and contains extremely pure icy spiritual power. For cultivators who practice ice-attributed exercises, if they can eat it frequently, it will have certain benefits for their practice."

Ren Bi looked at the fruit in her hand and explained it to Yan Yun in detail. Then, she picked up a fruit, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Seeing Ren Bi's actions, Yan Yun was naturally not polite and also picked one and put it in his mouth. The moment he bit through the peel, a chill quickly spread in his mouth. It was indeed pure and rich chill spiritual power. Although Yan Yun had not practiced ice-attributed exercises, his physical fitness was extremely strong, so this chill could not have any effect on him. As soon as this spiritual power entered his throat, he was completely absorbed by him. So, he picked up another fruit with interest and put it in his mouth to taste it.

Ren Bi, who had been paying attention to Yan Yun, couldn't help but show a surprised expression on her face when she saw this scene.

As we all know, although the Ice Spirit Fruit has a bad reputation, it will bring certain benefits to any cultivator after taking it.

However, for those monks who do not practice the two attributes of ice and fire, they must go through a process of converting cold energy when taking this fruit. Otherwise, if they swallow it rashly, it may cause serious damage to the kidneys.

However, the Yan Yun in front of him, whose spiritual power was clearly of pure thunder attribute, was able to swallow the fruit without hesitation, which was truly amazing.

As for taking two Ice Spirit Fruits in a row, even if he practiced the fire attribute technique, he would never dare to try it. Just as the elder of Xiaoji Palace was secretly shocked, footsteps came from the attic, and a pretty woman in white cotton gauze came down the stairs gracefully.

Yan Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up immediately, and said with a hearty smile: "Fairy Bai, it has been more than ten years since we last saw each other. I wonder how you are doing?"

"Junior sister Bai."

Ren Bi also stood up in ecstasy.

"Since we parted that day, I know that Brother Yan did not invite me for no reason. I have been waiting for Brother Yan's visit in the palace for several years. I am a little surprised that Brother Yan came today. As for Senior Brother Ren, if it were not for Brother Yan's sake, I really don't want to meet him this time."

Bai Yaoyi said to Yan Yun with a smile, but the moment she turned to face Ren Bi, her expression suddenly became serious and her tone became much stiffer.

"I have found a way to solve the problem. I will definitely not let you down." Ren Bi said quickly.

"Have you found a solution? If it's just for this matter, it won't be too late to talk about it later. Fellow Daoist Yan has come from afar, so let's put this matter aside for now." Bai Yaoyi immediately shook her head.

"That's great. I'll discuss this matter in depth with you in the future when I find a suitable opportunity. Now that I can see you again, I'm already very pleased." Hearing this, Ren Bi was slightly stunned, but soon understood the reason and responded with a smile.

Bai Yaoyi had no expression on her face. She just nodded slightly and sat down elegantly in the main seat in the attic.

Yan Yun and his wife also took their seats.

"Compared with ten years ago, Fairy Bai's cultivation has improved tremendously!" Yan Yun observed Bai Yaoyi carefully and said in admiration.

“Brother Yan, you are too kind. In terms of magical powers, even if my two sisters join forces, I’m afraid they still can’t be one-tenth of yours.” Bai Yaoyi smiled and replied politely.

She still remembered vividly Yan Yun's heroic deeds in Yinyang Cave and Kunwu Mountain, so she attached great importance to Yan Yun's arrival and did not dare to be careless.

When Ren Bi heard Bai Yaoyi's high praise for Yan Yun, her expression suddenly changed and she looked at Yan Yun again several times.

Bai Yaoyi continued to ask Yan Yun:

"Ten years ago, Brother Yan mentioned to me that he wanted to come to this palace. Brother Yan had already made such a request at that time, so it must not be groundless!"

"Since Fellow Daoist Bai has asked about this, it would be inconvenient for Yan to hide anything any longer."

Yan Yun thought for a moment, then smiled and replied, "I have a pet that is an ice-type beast, and I need some ten-thousand-year-old black ice."

For this female monk, even if Yan Yun did not save her from the frozen state at the beginning, she would definitely go all out to help Yan Yun just because he had extraordinary strength and ability close to that of a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage. After all, getting to know such a cultivator with powerful magical powers would undoubtedly make her feel honored and extremely happy.

When Bai Yaoyi learned of Yan Yun's request, she frankly said that there was no problem and readily agreed. She understood that it was a rare opportunity for her to have the opportunity to help Yan Yun solve this problem.

"I can send my disciples to investigate and see if any new ten thousand year old black ice has been discovered in the near future, and then send the black ice to Fellow Daoist Yan." After hearing Yan Yun's request, Bai Yaoyi immediately agreed without hesitation.

"It's great that Fairy Bai can lend a helping hand. If this matter fell on me, it would probably become very difficult." The pressure in Yan Yun's heart was suddenly relieved a lot, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"This is just a trivial matter. However, searching for the ten thousand year old black ice may take several days or even longer. Since Brother Yan has come to our Xiaoji Palace, why not stay here for a while? I admire Brother Yan's magical powers very much, and I would like to take this opportunity to discuss with you in depth what I have learned." Bai Yaoyi said with a smile.

"Yan is also quite interested in your palace's martial arts. I have heard about it a long time ago. As far as the cold-attributed martial arts are concerned, many of Xiaoji Palace's top-level martial arts can be said to be the best in Dajin. Although Yan's practice is not of the ice-cold attribute, he is proficient in all the methods in the world and I believe he can benefit a lot from it." Yan Yun smiled and replied.

After a conversation, Bai Yaoyi and Yan Yun gradually began to talk freely. Since both sides were at the same level of cultivation, it didn't take long for them to start discussing various issues in cultivation. As a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Ren Bi participated in the discussion at the right time and expressed some unique insights. This made the atmosphere between the three people more harmonious and the conversation was very pleasant.

After spending about half an hour in the attic, Yan Yun realized that Bai Yaoyi had just finished her retreat and should not be disturbed too much, so he took the initiative to say goodbye. Seeing this, Bai Yaoyi did not try to keep him, but immediately ordered the beautiful woman named Yan to lead Yan Yun to the VIP building for temporary stay. After finding the news of the ten thousand year black ice, she would inform Yan Yun immediately.

After Yan Yun received Bai Yaoyi's promise, he bowed deeply to the two monks and then followed the beautiful woman out of the attic. Ren Bize did not leave immediately, it seemed that the brother and sister still had a lot of topics to discuss.

Under the guidance of the beautiful woman in the Jindan stage, Yan Yun walked straight to another building complex next to the mountain wall. There stood more than ten unique and exquisite attics, which were obviously the so-called VIP buildings. Yan Yun observed from a distance for a moment and finally chose one of them.

The beautiful woman seemed to know how much Bai Yaoyi valued Yan Yun, so she showed extra respect to Yan Yun on the way. She answered Yan Yun's questions without reservation, which made Yan Yun very satisfied.

In a blink of an eye, the two arrived at the door of the attic. However, just as they were about to enter, a petite young woman who looked like a maid hurried out of the attic and bowed to the beautiful woman.

"Greetings, Uncle Master Yan!" The maid obviously recognized the beautiful woman and hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects.

"Junior sister Hua, this Senior Yan is our master's distinguished guest, and he will live here from now on. You need to do your best to take good care of him. If there is any negligence, when our master holds us accountable, I am afraid that even I will not be spared." The beautiful woman said solemnly with a serious face.

“The younger generation must fulfill their duties.”

The woman was startled when she heard this, and then she responded respectfully. At the same time, she couldn't help but look up at Yan Yun, and when she saw Yan Yun looking at her, she quickly lowered her head.

Yan Yun read it and smiled gently.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, if you are dissatisfied with your disciple Hua, you can make other arrangements at any time." The beautiful woman said this to Yan Yun again.

"No need. Let her serve you." Yan Yun waved his hand and strode into the attic.

The two women followed closely behind him and stepped in.

The decoration of this attic is quite exquisite, but what makes Yan Yun most satisfied is that a simple ban is set up on the second floor, so that the practitioners living here do not need to worry about being secretly monitored by others without their knowledge.

After sending the beautiful woman away with a few words, Yan Yun settled down here.

In fact, since leaving Xuelian Mountain, Yan Yun has been traveling almost non-stop. At this moment, he really needs a good rest in order to return to the best physical and mental condition.

After two days of peace, Yan Yun carefully recuperated on the second floor of the attic and did not go out easily.

Because he knew very well that although he lived quite freely here, there were still many high-level practitioners in Xiaoji Palace watching his every move in secret. (End of this chapter)
