Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

Apparently, the spiritual energy contained in this spiritual stone was so huge that it had to be released outwards forcibly.

When Yan Yun saw this scene, he was both surprised and happy.

There is no doubt that this spiritual stone is the extremely precious wood-attributed top-grade spiritual stone in the legend. This opportunity not only makes people extremely happy, but also suits his wishes.

However, it was not too surprising to think that this thing was a wood-attributed spiritual stone. It turned out that the mineral vein on Biling Island had been famous for its abundance of wood-attributed spiritual stones since ancient times, and the top-grade spiritual stones were also of the wood attribute. So, it all seemed reasonable.

Yan Yun slowly closed his eyes, carefully feeling the rich wood spirit energy emanating from the spirit stone.

After a moment, he hesitated, and then a green light flashed between his five fingers, trying to absorb the huge spiritual power contained in it into his body. Five thin and thick spiritual energy slowly poured out from the magical spiritual stone, with its extremely heavy texture that made the skin feel cold, like five small black snakes that chose to bite people, and pounced into Yan Yun's palm!

Yan Yun was caught off guard and almost cried out in shock. Suddenly, his five fingers trembled as if they had been hit by a sudden blow. He reacted subconsciously and interrupted the absorption of the spiritual energy in the spirit stone.

However, despite this, the five lifelike little black snakes had already penetrated into the meridians of Yan Yun's arm, dissolving themselves into pure spiritual power and spreading out.

In an instant, a pure spiritual energy filled with endless vitality and life force permeated the entire space in an instant, almost covering Yan Yun's entire body!
At this moment, Yan Yun suddenly felt enveloped by an inexplicable temperature, which then transformed into a cozy warm breath, making his whole body extremely comfortable, and even giving him a wonderful feeling of floating in the air.

Is this the legendary top-grade spiritual stone? As expected, the spiritual energy it contains far exceeds that of high-grade spiritual stones, which is amazing.

Yan Yun hurriedly began to refine the spiritual power containing abundant spiritual energy, his heart filled with ecstasy.

This short moment alone was enough to offset his half-month of hard study and practice. If it continued like this, as long as he could completely absorb this huge spiritual stone, wouldn't it be possible to save ten years of hard practice?

Yan Yun couldn't help but feel a strong desire rising in his heart, wanting to immediately take this incredibly huge treasure for himself.

However, facing such a rare treasure, he could only imagine it in his mind. Such a precious spiritual stone rich in endless spiritual energy should of course be reserved for use at the critical moment of breaking through the realm, so as to maximize its value.

Yan Yun gently turned his palm, and a green curtain box suddenly appeared in his hand.

He carefully placed the top-grade spirit stone into the box, then took out a few colorful talismans and pasted them evenly on the surface of the wooden box. Finally, he put the wooden box into his storage bag.

Yan Yun's heart was filled with joy. He let out a long and melodious whistle, and turned into a dazzling blue light, galloping away...

A few months later, Yan Yun returned safely to the vicinity of Silver Shark Island.

However, when he first stepped into this familiar sea, he sensed that there seemed to be some kind of strange atmosphere hidden in it. From the time he left this place until he arrived at Silver Shark Island, he had not met a single monk, which was really too abnormal.

When Yan Yun, full of doubts, finally saw the outline of Silver Shark Island in the distance, he couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, Silver Shark Island was surrounded by a thick dark blue light curtain, and the restrictions on the island fluctuated violently, as if all the defense formations had been activated. When he scanned the nearby sea and sky with his divine sense, he found that there was no one there, as if all the monks were hiding in the restrictions on the island.

Yan Yun paused slightly, and used his spiritual sense to explore the seabed. After confirming that nothing unusual had occurred, he flew towards the entrance of the island with some surprise and confusion.

The restriction fluctuations there were relatively calm, and it was obviously the entrance to the restriction formation that was specially set up.

Accompanied by a few crisp sounds of breaking through the air, Yan Yun quickly came to a place not far from the light curtain. When the light faded, his figure appeared.

After he caught a glimpse of the blue light curtain, he gently raised his right hand, and a sound transmission note instantly disappeared into the light curtain. Then, Yan Yun hovered in the air, his face as calm as water.

"I wonder which fellow Taoist is returning to the island at this moment. Could you please tell me your name?" A cautious male voice came from behind the light curtain, and at the same time, a divine thought swept towards Yan Yun silently.

Yan Yun's face changed slightly, and a strong green light immediately emanated from his body. He mercilessly bounced back the divine thought and launched a counterattack.

Then, a low groan came from behind the light curtain, causing a great shock to the owner of the divine thought.

"Hmph! How can you youngsters ask my name casually? Lift the ban immediately. I have important matters to take care of." Yan Yun snorted coldly and said in a cold tone.

"So it is you, a senior in the Nascent Soul stage, who has come. I hope you will forgive me. If it were not for special circumstances, I would immediately obey your orders. However, a large number of monsters have suddenly appeared in the nearby waters recently, and they even attacked our island a few days ago. I have been ordered to do this. All cultivators who have returned to the island recently must have their identities verified before they can enter." The cultivator explained hurriedly, trying to endure the pain brought by the backlash of his divine thoughts.

"Is this true? How do you plan to confirm my identity?" Yan Yun couldn't help but recall the scene of the monster attack on Biling Island. After thinking for a while, his tone became slightly gentler.

"Excuse me, senior, could you please tell me your name and origin, or show me some kind of token that can prove your identity?" The monk inside the light curtain answered cautiously with a smile on his face.

"Token? Then let me show it to you!" Yan Yun frowned slightly, then waved his arm, and a golden light shot straight into the light curtain and disappeared without a trace.

That was the guest token bestowed by the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars.

"It turns out to be Senior Yan. Please forgive me. I will open the restriction for you right away." A surprised voice of a man came from behind the light curtain.

When Yan Yun heard this, his heart moved and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and waited quietly.

In just a moment, the blue light curtain in front of his eyes began to shake violently, accompanied by a flash of dazzling light, and a thin crack gradually appeared.

Yan Yun's figure flashed and turned into a long green rainbow and flew into it.

And after a buzzing sound, the crack slowly healed as before.

The moment Yan Yun flew out of the light curtain, the view in front of him suddenly became clear. He saw more than a dozen Star Palace monks in white robes standing in front of him. They were neatly arranged in two rows.

The green rainbow spun gorgeously, and Yan Yun instantly appeared in front of these cultivators. "Greetings, Senior Yan?" A middle-aged cultivator stepped forward quickly and bowed deeply to Yan Yun with a respectful look on his face.

From the sound of his voice, it was the person he had talked to before. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of Jindan, but his face was a little pale. It was obvious that he had not yet fully recovered from the backlash of his spiritual consciousness. "Recently, the monsters have been attacking the island more and more fiercely, and many of our fellow disciples have returned to the towns on the island to rest. Today, we are the only ones guarding here. But please rest assured, Senior Yan, the nearest town is only a hundred miles away, and there are more than a hundred of our disciples stationed here, and they are always ready to rush to help here." The male disciple explained respectfully.

"You call me Senior Yan, but how do you know my identity?" Yan Yun's face suddenly darkened, and a shocking spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from his body, causing the male disciple's face to change and he staggered back several steps.

"Senior Yan, several months ago, the high-ranking officials in the palace had already informed us disciples stationed on the island of your appearance and identity, and asked us to obey your orders at any time." After stabilizing his body, the male disciple replied hurriedly with lingering fear.

"So that's it! I never thought that the two palace masters would be so caring towards me!" Yan Yun's eyes flickered, and suddenly he smiled, while the aura of his body quickly receded like a tide.

The male disciple felt the pressure relieved at this moment, and a humble smile appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, Yan Yun raised his head and glanced towards the island. As his eyes moved, he asked calmly:

"Have you informed anyone else?"

"Yes, after I get the news from you, I will immediately pass it on to the elders on the island and ask them to come and welcome you." The male disciple answered frankly.

"It's actually like this!" Yan Yun's face was solemn, but it was impossible to see his inner emotions. The male disciple's heart tightened and he felt uneasy.

At this moment, a white light flashed in the distant sky, followed by a sound of breaking through the air, and a white light flew quickly towards this side.

Yan Yun looked at the sky and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It seems that Elder Zhao has come in person to greet Senior Yan." The male disciple said hurriedly in a somewhat flattering tone.

Yan Yun just nodded gently, his face still as calm as water, his hands clasped across his chest, not moving at all.

When the male disciple saw this, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

He didn't know that Yan Yun was a high-level cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. Just at that moment, his spiritual sense was bounced back, so he no longer dared to casually detect Yan Yun's cultivation level. He only thought that Yan Yun was a cultivator in the early Yuan Dynasty who was recently recruited by Xing Palace.

The light flashed and disappeared, and a white rainbow light shot down obliquely. When the light converged, an old man with white hair appeared. The old man was wearing a brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and his eyebrows were thin and long, giving people a sense of majesty without anger.

This person is a powerful cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage!
The old man recognized Yan Yun standing in front of everyone at a glance. His pupils shrank immediately, and he walked forward in two steps. He first bowed respectfully, then smiled and said:

"Hello, Brother Yan. I am a little late. I hope you can forgive me!"

The old man had a big smile on his face, as if he had known Yan Yun for many years.

Yan Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, but still remained calm and composed, and responded calmly:

"Brother Daoist Zhao, you are too polite. I heard that Silver Shark Island has been quite uneasy recently. What is the current situation? Is Brother Daoist Zhao in charge of all the affairs on the island?" "Hehe, although we were disturbed by some monsters, there were no monsters that had transformed into human form. It was just a false alarm. As for the person in charge of the island affairs, it was not me, but Elder Ning. However, he has gone out at the moment, dedicated to exploring the reasons why these monsters attacked the island. This time, I came here specifically to await the arrival of Brother Yan." The old man surnamed Zhao said with a smile.

"Waiting for me?" Yan Yun's expression changed slightly, and he finally showed a hint of surprise.

"That's right. This is what the two Holy Lords of our palace have personally instructed. I implore Brother Yan to meet with them when you return to the Inner Sea. Please forgive me for being frank, but I have been waiting for Brother Yan on the island for many days." The old man replied with a smile.

"Oh, what's the matter? Why do you have to work so hard?" Yan Yun frowned, vaguely feeling that this matter was quite tricky.

"Haha, this matter is complicated to explain, and this is not the place to discuss it. Brother Yan, can you come with me to a secluded place nearby to discuss it in detail?" The old man smiled mysteriously and made a suggestion.

"Well, that's fine. Let's go to that hill and explain in detail!" Yan Yun thought for a moment, looked around, and suddenly pointed to an unnamed hill more than ten miles away.

"Okay, it's all up to you, Brother Yan!" The old man surnamed Zhao also glanced at Xiaoshan and agreed without hesitation.

Yan Yun nodded slightly, and then the old man surnamed Zhao gave a few instructions to the man and the others, and the two of them turned into two beams of light and rushed towards the hill.

It was such a short distance that the two of them arrived in an instant and landed on the top of the mountain.

"If Brother Zhao wants to convey any message on behalf of your palace master, please feel free to tell me." Yan Yun asked in a calm tone as soon as his feet touched the ground.

"Haha, Brother Yan, there's no need to be so alert. I do have great news to tell you this time." The old man surnamed Zhao stroked a few strands of beard under his chin and laughed before he even opened his mouth.

"What great news! What do you mean?" Yan Yun was stunned when he heard this.

"I'm afraid Brother Daoist Yan's life span will be less than a hundred years?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Haha, as Fellow Daoist Yan said, this matter is quite appropriate. Then what is Fellow Daoist Yan's evaluation of Elder Ling in your sect?" The old man surnamed Zhao said with a smile.

"Excuse me, is the person that Brother Zhao mentioned Brother Ling Yuling?" Yan Yun was quite surprised and asked back with some confusion.

"Indeed, that's because Elder Ling is the beloved daughter of two venerables in our sect." The old man nodded without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Ling has successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage when he was still young, which undoubtedly shows his extraordinary talent for cultivation. But why does Fellow Daoist Zhao say so?" Yan Yun's eyes flashed with full doubts.

"Although Elder Ling is more gifted, he is still slightly inferior to Fellow Daoist Yan. However, both of you are gifted people, and this is an indisputable fact. If the two of you can work together to help each other and pursue the way of cultivation together, perhaps there is really a glimmer of hope in terms of the immortal career. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yan is willing to enter into a dual cultivation partnership with Elder Ling?" (End of this chapter)
