Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

There is no denying that if an uninvited guest appears in any sect - a cultivator from other places with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, everyone will be vigilant and alert.

Regarding the maid who served him specially, Yan Yun only gave a few instructions at the beginning, and never assigned her any tasks afterwards.

In this way, time continued until the morning of the third day, and he was sitting quietly on a cushion, motionless.

Suddenly, his face changed, his whole body flashed with golden light, and a continuous roar sounded around him, as if something was exploding one after another.

Then he opened his eyes and his expression turned gloomy.

The reason was that just now a spiritual consciousness had recklessly penetrated the restrictions of the attic and attacked him directly. He mercilessly cast a spell to bounce it back.

This spiritual consciousness should belong to a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Yan Yun frowned slightly. Such a powerful spiritual awareness could probably only be possessed by the person on the island named Master Hanli.

Could this person be the grand elder of Xiaoji Palace?

At this moment, Master Hanli's voice came to Yan Yun's ears:
"Are you Daoist Fellow Yan? I am the Venerable Hanli. I wonder if Daoist Fellow Yan would like to meet me?"

This Master Hanli is an extremely mysterious figure. Although people in the northern region know that he has great magical powers, what is puzzling is that no one has ever seen him take action.

It is said that he became the Grand Elder overnight.

Yan Yun was surprised, but with his current magical powers, he was not afraid even when facing an opponent in the early stage of the God Transformation Realm, let alone a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Therefore, after a little hesitation, he decided to go and visit this Hanli Master, so he transmitted his voice to the divine thoughts hovering nearby and said:
"Since Daoist Fellow Hanli has invited me so warmly, how can I refuse? I will go to meet you now."

"Haha, very good. My spirit beast will arrive there soon. Daoist friend Yan just needs to follow it. I am here to welcome you!"

Hearing Yan Yun's agreement, Master Hanli seemed very satisfied and his tone became gentle.

Then, a white light flashed, and the divine thought disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Yan Yun did not act immediately, but stared at the ground for a moment, then slowly stood up and walked downstairs.

The maid with a childish face was sitting on a chair on the first floor studying the jade slip in her hand. When she saw Yan Yun coming down the stairs, she stood up in panic.

Yan Yun just nodded slightly in response to her, then left the attic door absent-mindedly.

The maid was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. With her level of cultivation, she naturally had no idea of ​​the spiritual battle that had just taken place upstairs.

Yan Yun walked out of the door and saw the target he was looking for at a glance.

A small animal that looked like a large cat was squatting on a nearby tree, staring at Yan Yun with yellow eyes. Its golden hair looked like it was made of pure gold, making it particularly eye-catching.

He squinted his eyes and carefully observed the little animal for a few times, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.

"Golden Wind Raccoon! It's actually this kind of magical beast! It's said that this beast is a twin beast, and once it goes out, it will appear in pairs. Its hiding skills are amazing. I don't know whether it's true or not."

Yan Yun muttered something in a low voice, and his expression gradually returned to normal. However, his eyes inadvertently glanced at other trees, trying to find some clues, but he did not find anything unusual.

Obviously, this mysterious little beast named golden raccoon has also preliminarily confirmed Yan Yun's identity. It let out a low roar, as if communicating with its companions.

Suddenly, a golden light flickered faintly on a nearby short tree.

It turned out that a smaller animal than the previous one had quietly emerged from the tree trunk. Its body was only about half a foot long, and it looked even smaller than the previous one.

Yan Yun was shocked. Although he had extraordinary consciousness, he was unable to realize how the little animal hid in the tree trunk.

The two golden raccoons quickly gathered together, rubbed their heads against each other, and then immediately turned and galloped away in a certain direction.

Yan Yun didn't have time to think about it, his whole body emanated a dazzling spiritual light, and he turned into a golden stream of light and followed closely behind.

During the chase, an incredible scene happened.

The figure of one of the golden raccoons suddenly became blurred and disappeared without a trace from Yan Yun's sight.

Yan Yun was shocked, and his spiritual sense quickly spread to the surroundings, but he still could not find any trace of the beast.

He took a deep breath, and then without hesitation injected all his magic power into his eyes. Suddenly, blue light flashed in his pupils, constantly scanning the surrounding environment.

Finally, he found an extremely blurry, almost invisible shadow near another small animal leading the way. It was the invisible golden raccoon.

The speed of the two golden wind civets was not too fast, only slightly faster than ordinary flying spells. Yan Yun could naturally follow them more than ten feet away easily.

On the way, they inevitably met many practitioners from the inner palace, and these people were surprised when they saw Yan Yun's unfamiliar face.

But when they saw the golden raccoon running in front of them, they immediately realized what was going on and moved away, as if they were very familiar with this kind of animal.

However, Yan Yun's Nascent Soul stage cultivation also aroused the suspicion and vigilance of several high-level practitioners, but they did not seem to dare to step forward to stop him easily.

Following the guidance of the beast, Yan Yun turned left and right from time to time, passed through several staggered pavilions, and finally came to a stone door on the mountain wall.

This stone door was not particularly tall, only about five or six feet high, but the entire door emitted a faint yellow light, and the runes on it flickered, as if an extremely powerful restriction had been imposed on it.

Yan Yun stopped and squinted his eyes to examine the stone gate in front of him, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

The pair of golden raccoons just shook slightly and disappeared directly into the stone gate, as if they were invisible and intangible.

For a moment, Yan Yun was stunned. Before he could react, the stone gate suddenly glowed and slowly opened with a roar.

A crystal clear passage was revealed, the walls of which were covered with thick frost, like the entrance to an ice cave.

The pair of golden raccoons were standing at the entrance of the passage, looking back at Yan Yun with their round eyes, looking very alert. The one that was originally invisible also revealed its figure at this time.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, please come in. I am not feeling well and cannot come out to greet you personally. Please forgive me." A deep laugh sounded in Yan Yun's ears. Yan Yun raised his eyebrows and stepped in without hesitation.

When the pair of golden raccoons saw Yan Yun following them, they immediately turned around and galloped away along the passage.

Yan Yun followed closely behind, seemingly slowly but quickly. After several turns, he felt the cold air in the passage becoming increasingly colder and suddenly began to extend downwards.

His mind moved, and without stopping, he walked forward without hesitation.

About a cup of tea later, when Yan Yun realized that the temperature around him was close to the point where his breath could turn into ice, he finally reached the end of the passage. The golden raccoon jumped up and rushed into a white hall.

The entire hall is made of a kind of translucent jade, and the surface is flashing with cold light, which is actually taken from ten thousand years of black ice.

If there were a clam girl practicing here, she would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"If that's true, Fellow Daoist Yan does possess the rare Extreme Cold Flame."

A word full of surprise came from the center of the hall. Yan Yun's face changed, his eyes flickered, and he looked around carefully. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he laughed softly: "Qianlan Bingyan!"

At each corner of the hall stood a huge crystal pillar that required an adult man to hug, and in the middle of the hall stood a giant blue tripod with a diameter of five or six feet.

Layers of light blue flames emerged from it, with astonishing coldness and breathtaking spiritual pressure, which was exactly the Qianlan Ice Flame that Yan Yun was familiar with!
"I am deeply surprised that Fellow Daoist Yan actually recognized the Qianlan Ice Flame."

A soft cry came from behind the giant tripod, followed by a flash of a figure, and a short dwarf only three feet tall walked out from behind it.

His face was full of wrinkles, his snow-white beard was flowing, and he was wearing a blue robe. He looked at Yan Yun with surprise. "Are you Master Hanli?"

Yan Yun's expression instantly returned to normal. He gently cupped his hands and asked politely.

"That's right. I am Han Li. However, the name of Master Han Li is just a respectful title for the great elders of Xiaoji Palace. My real name is Shi Xiang, and only a few people know it."

The dwarf's eyes flashed, and he said to Yan Yun with a smile, then he calmly waved his arm and a spell hit a crystal pillar in the corner.

In an instant, there was a bright light on the ground in several places in the hall, and several pale white cushions appeared out of thin air.

"Because I seldom have guests visiting here, I don't usually prepare tables and chairs. I hope you can forgive me."

The dwarf said amiably, "You are too kind, Taoist friend. People who practice cultivation do not need to pay too much attention to these red tapes."

Yan Yun smiled slightly, walked calmly to a cushion and sat down, his eyes still on the huge tripod.

He discovered that the style of this giant cauldron was quite similar to the Xutian Cauldron, and its magical powers were extraordinary. The power of the Qianlan Ice Flame seemed to be firmly bound inside the cauldron, and could not leak out at all.

Otherwise, this hall would have been frozen into ice and snow long ago. How could it be possible for people to step into it easily?

“Although Fellow Daoist Yan has not had an in-depth conversation with me yet, my intuition tells me that Fellow Daoist Yan is very likely the person I have been looking for for a long time.”

Master Hanli sat down on another cushion opposite Yan Yun and explained to Yan Yun with a sincere expression.

"Master, I am really confused by what you said! Could you please explain in detail why you invited me here?"

Yan Yun pretended to be surprised and then asked.

"Brother Yan, don't worry too much. The reason why I invited Brother Yan here is because I heard that Brother Yan once swallowed two Ice Spirit Fruits in a row without any abnormality, so I was curious and wanted to meet Brother Yan. However, now that I see that Brother Yan has cultivated the Extreme Cold Flame, I no longer need to conduct any tests. Brother Yan is undoubtedly the person I have been looking for."

Master Hanli explained with a smile on his face.

"Yan is the person the Master is looking for. What does this sentence mean?"

Yan Yun frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Could you please tell me first, Brother Yan, what is the name of the purple flame on your body? Although I know several kinds of purple spiritual flames, I have never heard of the ice attribute, so I hope Brother Yan can teach me something."

Master Hanli asked solemnly with a serious expression.

"This bit of cold flame on my body is the result of casual cultivation, and it has no official name. However, for the sake of convenience, I named it Shura Holy Fire. Although it may not be comparable to the Qianlan Ice Flame, its power should not be underestimated."

Yan Yun looked down at the pale flames flickering on his body and spoke in a flat tone.

Before he had a thorough understanding of the other party's background, he naturally would not tell the truth about the true power of this flame.

However, when Master Hanli heard Yan Yun say this, he seemed very satisfied and said with a smile:

"Brother Yan is right. I have observed that although the Shura Holy Fire appears to be integrated, its icy spiritual power is actually quite chaotic. It is obvious that it has not been refined by a special icy attribute technique. Otherwise, its power should be enhanced."

"One step further? I specially refined this fire in the beginning, so isn't it refined enough?"

Yan Yun was stunned and asked in surprise.

"Haha, it seems that Brother Yan's understanding of the Extreme Cold Flame is still insufficient. This kind of cold flame is extremely rare in the world. However, after each kind of cold flame is initially refined for one's own use, it can be refined and purified through special secret techniques to further increase its power. Of course, the ultimate degree of power increase depends on the degree of your refining and the power of the cold flame itself, but in any case, if this dry blue ice flame is refined to the extreme, it is enough to increase its power by more than several times."

The dwarf stroked his beard and looked towards the giant tripod and said proudly.

"Several times more powerful? Could it be that what you are referring to is this kind of purified flame?"

Yan Yun couldn't help but gasp, but then seemed to remember something and immediately raised a finger. A deep purple flame suddenly emerged and kept flickering.

"Indeed, this is refined cold flame, but it does not seem to have reached the point of complete purification. It seems that Brother Yan used brute force to compress the mana to achieve this effect. Such a strong force not only consumes a lot of mana, but I am afraid that it can only refine this wisp of pure fire."

Master Hanli did not show any surprise, but responded calmly.

"Thank you for your advice. Now, Master, can you tell me why you came to see me?" Yan Yun was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the dwarf. (End of this chapter)
