Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

"Since this is the will of the Great Elder, then this matter should naturally become the top priority. Let us first verify the materials mentioned in the jade slip."

"If the sect has it in stock, take it immediately. If not, go to the Ancient Sword Sect and Baiqiaoyuan to look for it. Baiqiaoyuan is especially famous for its weapon refining. I believe they can provide all the materials we need."

"Otherwise, the Great Elder would not have given us only three days."

One of the older men in gray robes made the decision decisively.

All the cultivators present, including the blue-robed monk, gladly accepted and nodded repeatedly.

After a brief discussion, these managers in the Foundation Establishment Stage drove their magic weapons out of the attic and began to run around, mixing the various materials listed in the jade slips.

Three days passed, and the blue-robed monk came to the outside of Zimu Peak with a storage bag full of things, but was blocked by the restrictions of Zimu Peak.

After sending out a sound transmission talisman, this foundation-building disciple immediately took out the storage bag, held it respectfully in his hands and waited.

About a quarter of an hour later, the mist formed by the restriction suddenly began to surge, and then a green light burst out from it.

With a flash of light, the storage bag was sucked into this force and disappeared.

The blue-robed monk felt a tightness in his heart and bowed deeply to the mist before carefully driving the magic weapon away.

Peace soon returned to the area in front of Zimu Peak, as if nothing that had happened before had ever happened.

Yan Yun, who was in the cave abode on the mother peak, took back the humanoid puppet and calmly used his spiritual sense to check the materials in the storage bag in his hand.

"Very good, all the materials have been prepared. It seems that the managers within the sect are quite capable." After a moment, Yan Yun said to himself with a satisfied smile.

"As the great elders of Luoyun Sect, how dare they not do their best? But I didn't expect that you would ask them to send the auxiliary materials for condensing the fire spirit silk. After all, you are not practicing a fire-attributed technique."

The boy's figure appeared on the tripod again, looking at Yan Yun with a puzzled look.

"Of course I understand this principle, but I have a treasure in my hand. Even if my own fire spiritual power is insufficient, I can still use it to drive the spiritual fire to condense the spiritual silk."

"This treasure is the source of the Fire Spirit Silk. Using it to condense the Fire Spirit Silk is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice."

Yan Yun answered calmly, then he tapped his waist lightly, and a small fiery red tripod flew out instantly, spinning several times before hovering in front of him.

The boy narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the fire cauldron for a moment. He did not express any opinion, but just nodded slightly.

Yan Yun smiled slightly and dumped the storage bag in his hand onto the ground.

In an instant, a dazzling white light flashed, and suddenly more than a dozen jade boxes and wooden boxes of various sizes appeared on the ground.

Yan Yun gently touched the fire cauldron with one hand again.

I saw the blazing red lid of the cauldron rising silently, followed by a deafening roar from inside the cauldron.

Balls of red flames drifted out from it, and in the blink of an eye they transformed into more than a dozen fire crows, which kept spinning and dancing around the fire cauldron.

"The flames are transformed into spiritual life!"

"Although the power of your treasure is not that strong, it is indeed a treasure of extremely pure fire attribute. It is quite suitable for you to condense the fire spirit silk."

"Even so, these living fire crows are not the product of your spells, and controlling them may be a little stiff. Using this method to condense the fire spirit silk will probably take a lot of energy and time."

"If you are not careful, all your previous efforts may go to waste." The boy warned.

"Please rest assured about this matter, Fellow Daoist Tianlan. I may not be good enough in other aspects, but I have more than enough patience." Yan Yun responded with a smile, seeming not to care at all.

When the boy heard Yan Yun say this, he naturally stopped trying to dissuade him.

Yan Yun formed seals with his hands and a spell hit the fire cauldron accurately.

In an instant, the fire cauldron began to spin like a top, and its volume expanded rapidly, becoming several times its original size in the blink of an eye.

Yan Yun then waved his sleeves, and the transparent object immediately flew out from his sleeves, plunged into the fire cauldron and disappeared without a trace.

Then, the fire cauldron made a loud noise, and balls of red flames appeared on its surface. The cauldron also instantly burst into flames. The gelatinous object was looming in the red flames, and was actually chased and pushed out of the flames by several fire crows.

When Yan Yun saw this, his face suddenly darkened. His ten fingers moved rapidly, and more than a dozen colorful spells shot out at the same time, all hitting the fire crows.

These fire crows became restless and locked their targets on the transparent objects, spitting flames madly.

And that object seemed to be able to absorb the flames of these fire crows. As the flames forged it, its surface gradually turned red and its shape began to change.

Yan Yun reached out and grabbed a jade box on the ground in front of him. The lid of the box popped out automatically, revealing a small piece of light blue paste inside.

He pointed lightly with his finger, and the paste immediately flew into the fire cauldron. When it encountered the flame, it immediately turned into blue liquid and was completely absorbed by the transparent object.

Seeing this, Yan Yun was secretly delighted. The magic formula in his hand stopped working, but strands of black hair shot out from his fingertips and all merged into the flames.

The flames burned fiercely for several feet in an instant. At the same time, a faint buzzing sound came from the cauldron, and Yan Yun's expression looked extremely serious.

Two months passed quickly, and a green light rushed straight towards the main peak of Luoyun Sect. Finally, the light dimmed at the entrance of the hall at the foot of the mountain, revealing Yan Yun's figure.

The dozen or so Luoyun Sect disciples who were in charge of guarding the palace gate were all shocked after seeing Yan Yun's face clearly, and hurried into the palace to pay their respects.

Yan Yun shook his head slightly to indicate that he didn't need to be polite, then he raised his feet and suddenly disappeared from where he was, and then suddenly appeared inside the palace gate in an unpredictable way.

These disciples were surprised and in awe of this great elder of high status in the sect. When Yan Yun stepped into the side hall of the main hall, Lu Luo, the person who actually managed the affairs of Luoyun Sect, finally felt relieved and was constantly pacing around in the hall, revealing a worrying look of anxiety.

"Junior Brother Yan, congratulations on your successful exit. It seems that the jade slip I sent you has received your response." Lu Luo turned around and glanced at Yan Yun. There was joy in his eyes, and the worry on his face seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Yan Yun smiled slightly, and appeared in front of a wooden chair in a flash. He sat down leisurely, and then slowly said:
"The Jade Slips of Transmission of Power mentioned that Junior Brother Bai and the others lost their traces in the Falling Demon Valley. This matter is quite bizarre, and it involves Pei Ling and one of my registered disciples, so I must come here in person to understand the situation."

"Indeed, this matter is quite strange. Junior Brother Bai and the others have been in the Fallen Demon Valley for half a year. Logically speaking, they should have returned to the sect long ago."

"However, according to the report from the disciples I sent out to look for them, they only saw Junior Brother Bai and the other two enter the valley, but did not see them come out."

"Some monks met them outside the valley, but not long after, these monks mysteriously disappeared in the Demon Valley. I suspect that the three of them may..."

At this point, Lu Luo's words suddenly stopped.

"You mean, the three of them might have entered the inner valley and encountered some kind of danger or were trapped somewhere?"

Yan Yun took over the conversation, his face as calm as water, making it impossible to discern his innermost thoughts.

"That's right, Junior Brother Yan."

"Although the inner valley of the Demon Valley is still full of dangers, you have now been promoted to the realm of a great monk and have successfully entered the inner valley before. You only need to conduct a rough exploration and there shouldn't be too many problems." After hesitating for a moment, Lu Luo asked tentatively.

"Well, the space cracks in the inner valley of the Fallen Demon Valley are not a big threat to me. As long as I avoid those extremely dangerous areas, there shouldn't be any big problems."

"I have just finished refining the equipment, so I might as well go there and take a look." Yan Yun made the decision without hesitation after a little thought.

"That's great. I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother Yan. However, as the Grand Elder of our sect, Junior Brother Yan is responsible for the prosperity and stability of our sect. You must put your own safety as the primary consideration."

After hearing Yan Yun's answer, Lu Luo seemed very satisfied, but then he remembered something and hurriedly reminded him.

"Brother Lu, please rest assured. I'm afraid no one in Tiannan Continent can hurt me. I will never take any risks rashly."

Yan Yun smiled slightly and answered nonchalantly, but in his heart he couldn't help but recall the corpse of the Heavenly Demon that was lost in the Demon Valley.

Could it be that the disappearance of the three women was related to this demon corpse? Yan Yun couldn't help but have such a puzzling thought in his mind.

Although he felt a little confused, Yan Yun remained calm on the surface. After continuing to talk with Lu Luo for a while, he slowly said goodbye and left.

Two days later, after Yan Yun visited Nangong Wan in the forbidden area, he left Luoyun Sect alone and rushed towards the direction of Zhuimo Valley.

More than a month later, three beams of light with astonishing speed appeared in the territory of Changzhou, Dongyu Kingdom. After circling over the top of an unnamed hill for several circles, they finally landed on the ground, revealing three burly men.

These three men were all tall and strong, each with two flying forks of different colors slanted on their shoulders. Their faces were somewhat similar, as if they were brothers.

At the top of the hill, three monks had been waiting there for a long time.

One of them was an elderly man, one was a middle-aged scholar, and the last one was a young man with a smile on his face.

"Haha, Brother Hou, sorry for the long wait! The three of us brothers were delayed on the way for some reason, so I hope you can forgive us! Hey, are these two fellow Taoists also disciples of your sect?"

The older, sturdy man in the lead laughed loudly at the old man with a bold look on his face. However, when he turned his gaze to the young and middle-aged monks, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes.

He instantly noticed that the old man and the middle-aged scholar were standing respectfully on both sides of the young man, without saying a word, with respect on their faces.

Even when the old man heard the middle-aged man greeting him, he just smiled stiffly and seemed to have no intention of talking to the three of them.

This scene undoubtedly surprised the middle-aged men present. They immediately used their spiritual sense to investigate the young man, but fear surged in their hearts.

The reason was that the young man's body was shrouded in mist, and his spiritual sense was unable to obtain any information when it scanned over it, making it impossible to determine his actual magical power.

The three middle-aged men couldn't help but change their expressions!

"You must be the Zhao brothers of the Jinhai Sect, right?" The young man from the central government smiled at them and asked in a dignified tone.

"Who are you exactly? May I ask, Brother Hou, what exactly happened?" The burly man's face instantly tensed up, his eyes filled with vigilance.

"Friend Zhao, please take care of yourself. This person is the grand elder of our sect! As for the other one, it is Junior Brother Lin." The old man suddenly spoke, but as soon as he spoke, he surprised the three people present.

"The great elder is actually Senior Yan, the famous elder of your clan!" the leader blurted out in disbelief.

"It is me, now serving as the grand elder of Luoyun Sect. It was really presumptuous of me to ask Junior Brother Hou to invite all of you fellow Taoists to come here." The young man still kept smiling, his white teeth sparkling in the sun.

This person was none other than Yan Yun, who had rushed all the way from Luoyun Sect to Dongyu Kingdom.

“How dare we? Since it is the senior who summoned us personally, it is a great honor for us!” The leader was extremely surprised. He looked at Yan Yun carefully again. After confirming that the other party was very consistent with the image in the legend, he immediately bowed respectfully with an extremely humble attitude.

The other two companions also hurriedly saluted.

"There's no need to be so polite. You fellow Taoists are not disciples of my sect, so there's no need to be so polite. According to Junior Brother Hou, you all have met female disciples of our sect in the Demon Valley. I wonder if this is true or not?" Yan Yun waved his hand and asked in a calm tone.

"Senior, are you talking about Fairy Bai and others? We did take a quick look at the Demon Valley." When the leader heard Yan Yun asking about this, he was stunned and then slowly replied.

"I see. I wonder if you could tell me in detail what happened back then?" Yan Yun guided in a gentle tone.

"Of course I obeyed your orders. At that time, we were in urgent need of a rare material for refining weapons, so we ventured into the Demon Valley to try our luck. However, we found nothing in the outer valley, and when we were about to leave, we ran into Fairy Bai and her group on the way. Because of some past connections, Fairy Bai and I had met several times before, so I couldn't help but approach her to talk to her. However, Fairy Bai and her group seemed quite anxious, as if they were also looking for something. They didn't talk to us for too long, and then left quickly. We left the valley immediately, and never saw Fairy Bai and her group again." The strong man described carefully. (End of this chapter)
