Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 108 This Life
This was not the first time Yun Yi had heard this name, "The Secret Treasure of Floating Life".

It is said that this is a paradise created by a Zen master. It appears once every hundred years and only those with destiny can enter it.

In the previous life, Fusheng Temple was torn apart because of this thing and was directly removed from the list of the five major sects of the righteous path.

"The Secret Treasures of Fu Sheng" is the foundation of Fu Sheng Temple, and every time it attracts countless practitioners to participate in the event.

However, many years ago, a civil unrest broke out at Fusheng Temple, rumored to be related to the Great War between Good and Evil. Since then, the Fusheng Vault has been closed to the public, and the disciples of Fusheng Temple have also closed their gates, likely due to a hidden agenda.

According to Tie Hong, when he first met Master Kuhaha, the master had already reached the Hedao realm, so he should still be alive now.

When Kuhaha handed the tiger talisman to him, he said that if one day he no longer needed these three hundred iron pagodas, he could send the tiger talisman back to Fusheng Temple, and then he could become a monk and become his last disciple.

If you are reluctant to part with it and plan to keep it, that's fine, but you must never hand the tiger talisman over to the disciples of Fusheng Temple who have unknown origins.

The information about Fu Sheng Temple was Yun Yi's "blind spot in knowledge". In his previous life, he did not participate in the fight for Fu Sheng's secret treasure. He only knew that Fu Sheng Temple would be severely damaged when the secret treasure was opened.

Tie Hong said, "You've helped Crescent City so much. Ye Ling and I have no way to repay you. We just hope you can get more benefits from this tiger talisman."

At this time, Yun Yi finally understood why Master Ci Lan, King Xian and others were so obsessed with the tiger talisman. The three hundred iron pagodas were not enough to make them fight for their lives. The real "first prize" would be if he could be accepted as a disciple by Master Kuhaha.

It seems that the two tiger talismans combined into one can really have the effect of changing one's destiny.

Tie Hong lowered his voice and said seriously, "The essence of the Iron Pagoda is three hundred remnant souls. If you intend to uncover the secret of the Tiger Talisman, you need to find a way to liberate them. Brother Yun, you must think carefully about how to do this."

Yun Yi clasped his fists and bowed solemnly: "Thank you very much."

"That's a bit too formal, isn't it? We hit it off right away. To be honest, that old guy Bu Lianjin also likes you very much. He always asks me about your background and even asks if he can keep you in Crescent City."

"Haha, I'll definitely come back to visit Mr. Bu when I get a chance. General Tie, please also tell me that the Raozhirou sword was given to someone in the Hedao realm, and she simply can't let it go."

Tie Hong was stunned: "Is your wife really at the Hedao realm?"

Yun Yi: "Indeed, but she has some difficulties, so she can't take action."

"You don't have to explain this to me. Most experts have strange ideas, and we can understand that. Besides, with your help this time, I may not be inferior to the Hedao realm."

Tie Hong sent Yun Yi to the study in the backyard and said, "I'm going to help Bu Lianjin with the ironwork as agreed. We have a long way to go!"

Yun Yi was a little confused: "Why do you act like I'm not going to come back?"

"You'll find out later."

Yun Yi was about to ask more questions, but Tie Hong walked very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He was confused when he turned around and saw Ye Ling and Ye Nianyi walking into the study. Ye Ling looked haggard, having not slept all night, while Ye Nianyi was carrying a small bag, looking like she was going on a long journey.

Ye Nianyi immediately asked, "Brother Yun, do you really have a way to save Zhuozhuo?"

Yun Yi nodded: "Absolutely true."

Seeing Ye Nianyi carrying her luggage, he suddenly realized, "City Lord Ye wants me to... take Miss Ye with me?"

Ye Nianyi complained, "Brother Yun never calls Zhuo Zhuo 'Miss Nangong'."

Ye Ling patted his daughter's head and said, "Don't be silly. Master Yun is right. I want Ye Nianyi to go to Black Cloud Mountain with you."

"Why?"

"Crescent City has experienced a great catastrophe this time, and I'm afraid there will be more turmoil later. But now my life is closely related to Miss Zhuozhuo, and I am afraid that I will bring trouble to my benefactor."

Yun Yi nodded slightly after hearing this. He had to admit that Ye Ling's concerns were not unnecessary. Crescent City was now without its three hundred Iron Pagodas, and the city's protective formation had been damaged. It was indeed not certain that Tie Hong alone would be able to defend it.

If there is another change in the Great Xia Dynasty, or if Futian Pavilion has a backup plan, if something happens to Ye Nianyi, Nangong Zhuozhuo will also be implicated.

Yun Yi agreed, "Okay, I'll take Nianyi with me to Black Cloud Mountain. But what should I do after I find the Nine Revolutions Soul-Fixing Pearl and separate them?"

Ye Ling said, "Could you trouble Master Yun to take my daughter to Fusheng Temple again?"

"Floating Life Temple?"

"That's right. The Chuzu Temple in Fusheng Temple also accepts female disciples from secular families. Master Cilan is from there."

Ye Nianyi interrupted, "I plan to go and ask Master Cilan what her intentions are. As a disciple of Chuzu Temple, why would she want to kill me? Maybe I can use this opportunity to find a place to stay."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "You have a good plan."

"She hurt Zhuozhuo and me so badly. Is it not too much for me to ask her master for compensation?"

"Of course not. It's only natural."

Seeing this, Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Yun, have you agreed?"

Yun Yi said, "Tie Hong told me a lot about the benefits of the tiger talisman, and said that I could use it to exchange for opportunities at Fusheng Temple. So, it would be a good idea to send Nian Yi there."

Ye Ling bowed sincerely and said, "Tie Hong and I have been inconvenienced a lot. I hope you can forgive me, sir." Yun Yi hurriedly helped him up and said, "It's just a small favor. There's no need for you, City Lord."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Nianyi again. Seeing a faint blush on her face and her eyes as clear as morning dew, he asked, "Are you alright?"

A light breeze blew by, gently ruffling the girl's hair. She said shyly, "Thanks to Zhuo Zhuo, I'm fine now."

She changed the subject: "Will I become a burden if I follow you this time? If it's inconvenient, I can actually find another way to get to Fusheng Temple, and we can just meet up there."

"It's not that troublesome. Going to Black Cloud Mountain this time is not a dangerous place. It's just a small trouble."

Ye Nianyi patted her small bag and said, "I'm not useless. There are many treasures in here. They will definitely be of help when the time comes."

Yun Yi looked at Ye Nianyi carefully and found that her soul had been completely stabilized, and the benefits of the Peach Blossom Immortal Body were also reflected.

And with Nangong Zhuozhuo's thousand years of cultivation, she unexpectedly reached the Qi Refining Realm without realizing it.

Ye Nianyi noticed Yun Yi's gaze and said, "I feel more relaxed than ever before. It's just like what's described in the storybooks, I've achieved immortality."

"Almost. You are already considered an entry-level monk."

Ye Ling was surprised: "Is this really true?"

Yun Yi explained, "Nian Yi's Peach Blossom Immortal Body is a good seedling for cultivation. Her aptitude is also top-notch among the five major sects. Now that she has recovered from a serious illness, Zhuo Zhuo has replenished her with a large amount of spiritual energy, and she has directly entered the Qi Refining Realm."

I have to say, comparison is the thief of joy. Yun Yi had to go through a lot of trouble with the monkey boss before he could succeed in refining his Qi.

Ye Ling said: "In that case, the possibility of her staying in Chuzu Temple has increased."

Yun Yi said: "With her talent, she would be treated as a treasure in any sect."

Ye Nianyi said, "I don't want to stay there to practice. When the time comes, I'll go wherever Zhuozhuo goes!"

Ye Ling's face turned serious: "You're not going home?"

"I'm not going back! People of my generation can fly on swords. There's no place in the world that we can't go. I wouldn't even bother going back to Crescent City!" The girl had obviously read many stories about sword masters.

"You little bitch, I think you're looking for a fight! I haven't even settled the score with you for running away from home last time!"

Ye Nianyi quickly hid behind Yun Yi, "If you hit me now, it's the same as hitting Zhuo Zhuo. Brother Yun won't agree!"

Ye Ling had no intention of actually taking action, so he smiled helplessly and said, "With her temper, I'm afraid Master Yun will have to endure some hardship along the way."

Yun Yi waved his hand and said, "Not really. Compared to Nangong Zhuozhuo, Nian Yi should be much less of a worry."

If Zhuque saw this scene, he would definitely sigh that karma has its way, and that Yun Yi finally has his day. Then he would laugh three times and walk away freely, his mind clear and he wished he could break through the realm and enter the Return to Void realm directly.

……

Seeing that Ye Nianyi was indeed in good health, Yun Yi planned to set off for Black Cloud Mountain today.

According to Ye Ling, the storm at the northwest Forget-Your-Worries Spring has been blowing for a month and has not yet dissipated.

Yun Yi recalled the incident of being "blown" to Cuiwei Mountain by the storm, and was still frightened. He had originally planned to take a detour and fly away on his sword, but now that he had Ye Nianyi as a burden, he decided to slow down.

Anyway, the beads won’t grow legs and run away on their own, so it doesn’t matter if they are delayed for two days.

Ye Nianyi was a little depressed about this, as she thought she could experience flying with a sword.

Yun Yi smiled bitterly and did not explain. He couldn't say that he had never really flown with a sword since he started practicing. Moreover, when he thought of the wild "flying style" of the Qinglian Sword, he was afraid that he and Nian Yi would not be able to bear it.

Ye Ling prepared a "Sand Sea Boat" for the two of them, which could sail across the desert, and was responsible for sending the two of them to the northern edge of the desert.

But the rest of the way, they have to walk on their own.

The people in charge of driving the Sand Sea Boat were military officers. They were very respectful to Ye Nianyi and had even greater admiration for Yun Yi.

Yun Yi had never ridden on this thing before, and was a little curious. He stood at the bow and looked into the distance.

The desert was vast, the sun blazing like fire, the air in the distance distorted by the burning. Above, the sky was a deep blue, without a single cloud, so the sunlight was incredibly glaring, burning my skin.

Ye Nianyi clumsily opened a large umbrella, trying to cover Yun Yi as well.

Yun Yi reached out to take the umbrella, but was rejected, so he didn't insist and simply enjoyed the girl's attentive service.

The Sand Sea Boat was engraved with a formation, allowing the pilot to steer without having to paddle. This vessel belonged to the military and was previously deployed only in critical situations. It could easily travel thousands of miles a day.

As the boat left behind a series of undulating ripples in the yellow sand, Yun Yi and Ye Nianyi gradually went farther and farther away, and Ye Ling, who was looking into the distance from the top of the Crescent City, could no longer be seen at all.

The old father, who had spent half his life in the military, was already in tears, muttering to himself, "I hope you will be safe and sound."
