Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

"Junior brother, don't worry. You can find that kind of spiritual herb outside the Falling Demon Valley. In addition, since the last time you broke into the Demon Valley, the inner valley is still full of dangers, but the restrictions in the outer valley are gradually weakening, and the space cracks have almost disappeared."

"In the outer areas, as long as you avoid certain areas and be alert to the monsters lurking in the valley, you won't encounter too much risk. In recent years, many cultivators have gained a lot of benefits here."

"Oh, by the way, Junior-Junior-Nephew Liu and Junior-Junior's concubine are also going with us. These three are all at the Jindan stage, and they are carrying several precious magic weapons, so they should be able to deal with various situations."

Lu Luo hurriedly explained.

"The Demon Valley has undergone such changes. Liu Yu and Mu Peiling have also gone there?" Yan Yun was quite surprised.

"That's right. It is said that it was some kind of elixir that Junior Brother left behind that enabled Junior Brother's concubine to successfully advance to the middle stage of Jindan in just a hundred years. Such an amazing cultivation speed is really jaw-dropping. She may even be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage."

Lu Luo praised.

"In fact, the elixir I left behind is not the key factor. The main factor is Pei Ling's own excellent aptitude."

Although Yan Yun said this, he touched his chin and thought to himself: He had originally estimated that it would only take more than ten years to return from Da Jin, so the number of elixirs for improving his cultivation level that he left behind were not many.

If not for this, it would not be difficult for this woman to advance to the late stage of Jindan within a hundred years if she continued to take elixirs.

However, what happened this time is of great significance.

This Lu Luo has successfully broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage. Unfortunately, this immortal Qi Refining Technique has no obvious effect on practitioners below the Nascent Soul stage, so the original plan can no longer be carried out.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation, I'm afraid I need to think carefully about how to deal with this woman.

As everyone knows, this woman is my concubine. Even if I release her now, I am afraid no one would dare to offend the dignity of a great monk and get entangled with her again.

Yan Yun thought so in his heart, and after talking with Lu Luo for a while, he resolutely stood up and said goodbye, wanting to check on Nangong Wan's condition first.

Lu Luo would not obstruct it. So Yan Yun left Tian Qin'er in the hall for a while and went to the forbidden area of ​​the sect alone.

Not long after, Yan Yun appeared in front of the stone chamber door in the forbidden area. He excitedly removed the restriction on the door and gently pushed open the stone door.

The stone chamber was still spotlessly clean and tidy, and all the furnishings were exactly the same as when he left. The ice wall sparkling with crystal light still stood opposite the stone gate.

The only change is that Nangong Wan in the ice wall has regained her former beautiful face, but her eyes are closed at this moment, as if she is still asleep.

Yan Yun's body shook slightly, and he appeared in front of the ice wall as if teleporting.

He stared blankly at the woman in the wall, his expression extremely complicated for a moment.

At this moment, the long eyelashes of the beauty in the ice wall trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, and her gaze met Yan Yun's.

The two of them suddenly fell into a long stare!

"You're finally back. Thank you for your hard work this time!"

After a while, the woman raised the corners of her mouth slightly and spoke softly.

……

Deep in the Demon Valley, on the hillside of an unnamed mountain, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky.

A thick black smoke gushed out from an unknown cave, and then the black gas continued to roll and surge, instantly spreading to a width of hundreds of feet, almost covering half of the sky, like a giant demon descending to the earth, with extremely majestic momentum.

“Haha, with the help of the remaining demonic energy of the ancient demon, it only took a little over a hundred years to advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and even cultivated the Xuanyin demonic energy to the last two levels. It is indeed a wise decision to venture into this Fallen Demon Valley. Next, we just need to search for a few suitable magic weapons in the valley.”

“In the future, even if I meet the person who is looking for me, I don’t need to be too afraid. Then I can try to sneak into the ten thousand feet deep devil abyss and use the ten thousand feet deep devil energy in it to inject into the body of this devil corpse. Perhaps breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage will not be out of reach.”

"Haha, other demon cultivators are afraid of the explosion of demonic energy that may damage their bodies, but I am a demon corpse, so what do I have to fear?"

"When the time comes, I will be in the late stage of great perfection and will be able to kill that man and devour his soul. Wouldn't that be easy? By then, I will be him, and he will be me. There should only be one Yan Yun in the world..."

A hoarse whisper roared out from the black air, and then the man laughed like a madman.

Then the black gas suddenly churned violently, rushing towards a certain direction, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

……

On the outskirts of the Demon Valley, in a lush green bamboo forest, a beam of dazzling red light shot up into the sky from the bamboo forest. After a gorgeous turn, it quickly escaped at an astonishing speed.

However, after a crisp shout, three colorful sword lights suddenly shot out from the bamboo forest at an even faster speed, and within a few breaths, they caught up with the red light.

The three sword lights then made a clever spin, and an ear-piercing "quack" cry was immediately heard from the red light, and a strange bird over ten feet in size fell rapidly from the fire.

A dazzling white light rushed out from between the bamboo shadows and in an instant it landed next to the strange flying bird that fell to the ground, revealing the image of a woman dressed in plain white clothes and with a beautiful face.

The mysterious woman lightly raised her right hand, and in an instant, with her empty palm, a magical herb emitting purple light floated up from the body of the strange bird and was steadily held in her hand.

"Junior Sister Liu, did you succeed in obtaining the spiritual herb?"

The figures of the two girls flashed out from the depths of the bamboo forest, and in an instant they were beside the girl in white, revealing their true faces.

One of the girls in a yellow dress asked the girl in white with concern.

"Yes, but it is not the spiritual herb we are looking for. It is just a bunch of ordinary purple flame flowers."

The girl in white shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Junior Sister Mu, you don't need to be too anxious. We have only explored a small area in the outer valley. Perhaps the Fantasy Spirit Grass we are looking for is hidden in other unknown places!"

The last woman in green palace dress smiled and comforted.

These three beautiful women are Liu Yu, Mu Peiling and the woman named Song from Bai Fengfeng.

They had spent nearly half a month in the outer Demon Valley. Although they found some spiritual herbs growing in hidden corners, they still could not find the Fantasy Spiritual Herb they dreamed of. Liu Yu and Mu Peiling began to feel anxious, while the woman surnamed Song remained calm and composed.

"Indeed, there are certain risks in other places. There may still be space cracks in those areas. If you mistakenly enter one, you may lose your life."

Liu Yu frowned slightly, revealing her worry.

"In fact, these space cracks have almost disappeared. As long as we are careful, we shouldn't encounter them by chance."

"Moreover, this time refining pills is extremely important for Jindan stage cultivators. The road to immortality is full of challenges and risks. If you are not willing to take even this little risk, then you should just practice quietly in the sect."

The woman surnamed Song responded with a chuckle.

"Senior Sister Song is right. I am now at the mid-term bottleneck stage. If I can't make a breakthrough with the help of the elixir I refined this time, it will be difficult to achieve." Mu Peiling pondered for a moment and sighed softly.

"Since Senior Sister Song and Junior Sister Mu both agree, I can only do my best." Liu Yu said with a determined light flashing in her bright eyes, and smiled sweetly.

After the three women reached a consensus, they immediately transformed into three bright lights and rushed to other areas of the outer valley, disappearing into the vast night sky in an instant.

At the same time, in the forbidden area of ​​Luoyun Sect, the door of the stone chamber slowly opened again. Yan Yun walked out with a look of joy, but was surprised to find that Lu Luo was standing there with a smile on his face, and beside him were mortals, Hetian Qiner and others.

"Junior Brother Yan, how is your wife doing now?"

"Fortunately, I used the curse-breaking technique I learned from Dajin to remove the soul-sealing curse for her. This way, she shouldn't encounter any accidents again."

"However, Wan'er is currently in the critical period of practicing the Qi Nu Tian Yue Jue, and cannot leave the ice wall in the short term. It is estimated that she will have to wait for several years before she can regain her freedom. It is a pity that the properties of my skills are not compatible with hers, otherwise I would be able to help her immediately."

Yan Yun sighed softly, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep regret.

"Junior brother, don't worry too much. Although Wan'er can't get out of trouble for the time being, she can already regain consciousness on her own. You just need to wait patiently for a few years. By then, I will definitely attend your wedding and give you my most sincere blessings."

Lu Luo's expression eased a little and he laughed heartily.

When Yan Yun heard this, her cheeks flushed for a rare moment, but she quickly returned to normal, smiling and remaining silent.

"By the way, Junior Brother Yan is now a great cultivator, and it seems a bit inappropriate for him to continue staying at Zimu Peak. I wonder if Junior Brother can consider moving to the sect, and I will rebuild a new cave for you on the main peak?"

Lu Luo thought for a moment and tentatively made a suggestion.

"This is a good suggestion, but I think that although Zimu Peak is small, it is very peaceful. Even if Wan'er can see the light of day again, it is more than enough for the two of us to live here."

Yan Yun hesitated for a moment and finally chose to refuse.

"Since you have made such a decision, then let's leave it at that. In addition, your disciple Yan Yun's Nascent Soul-level puppet is still in my hands. I..."

A trace of regret appeared on Lu Luo's face. After a short pause, he brought up the topic again about the puppet that Yan Yun had lost that year.

"In fact, I have now successfully advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage. As for this puppet, its role has become insignificant to me at this stage. Therefore, I decided to give it to the sect and let you, brother, continue to control and use it."

Yan Yun's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he smiled calmly.

"Thank you for giving me this puppet! This puppet is still of great use and value to me." Lu Luo was overjoyed when he heard this. For him, this puppet played an extremely important role.

"However, Wan'er is currently in the process of breaking through the middle stage. As her master, I don't want any unexpected events to interfere with her final practice process." Yan Yun frowned slightly and said so frankly.

"Then, what is your real intention, Junior Brother?" Lu Luo was puzzled by Yan Yun's idea.

"Considering that the Zimu Peak is quite far from the forbidden area, although I don't need to practice in seclusion for a long time in recent years, I still have several precious treasures that need to be refined and upgraded, and I may even need to go out occasionally to handle some affairs."

"So I plan to adjust and transform the restrictions here, improve the defense, and completely seal this place off. I wonder if you have any objections to this, Senior Brother?"

Yan Yun explained slowly and solemnly.

"Haha, so what Junior Brother said was just this. Junior Brother, you can do whatever you want with this matter. In fact, since Junior Brother came back, I intend to hand over the management rights of the forbidden area to Junior Brother Yan."

Lu Luo responded with a smile.

"Thank you again for your trust and support. In addition, I'm afraid that this disciple of mine will need your care in the future."

A smile appeared on Yan Yun's lips, but he seemed to remember something and suddenly pointed at Tian Qin'er beside him.

Then, he briefly introduced the fact that Tian Qin'er possessed the body of a dragon and might be the reincarnation of his former friend.

"Oh, so the theory of reincarnation is not false. Please rest assured, if Junior Brother is unable to help personally, I will definitely do my best to help Junior Brother Tian suppress the backlash of the Yang energy in his body."

After a brief thought, Lu Luo immediately agreed readily.

"Haha, this is indeed a big hassle for Senior Brother Lu. But please rest assured, Senior Brother, I will try my best to find and collect a variety of Yin-attributed elixirs. If the medicinal properties are strong enough, they can temporarily relieve the symptoms of her Dragon Roar Body. In this way, Senior Brother will not have to help too often."

Yan Yun said confidently.

However, Lu Luo just waved his hand lightly, showing an attitude of indifference.

When Tian Qiner heard Yan Yun's words, she couldn't help but feel grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Because she had always been worried about how she would deal with various problems if her master was not around or was in seclusion for a long time. And Yan Yun's actions at this moment undoubtedly dispelled her worries.

Then, Lu Luo and Yan Yun had a more detailed discussion on the upcoming grand ceremony and possible visits from sects such as the Ancient Sword Sect and Baiqiao Academy, and then said goodbye and left the forbidden area.

After Lu Luo walked out of the forbidden area, Yan Yun immediately took out seven or eight sets of formation flags and plates from his arms and began to rearrange and change the restrictions around the entire stone chamber.

It is worth noting that during Yan Yun's trip to Dajin, he successfully killed many Nascent Soul cultivators and obtained a large number of powerful formation tools from them. The quality of these tools far exceeded that of the past. (End of this chapter)
