Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Inside the Heavenly Demon Cave.

With the cooperation of Song Daoxuan, Zhou Yuling and her fellow disciples quickly killed all thirteen Foundation Establishment stage ghosts.

Song Daoxuan's actions earned him some favor with Zhou Yuling.

The person Zhou Yuling had been worrying about every day had now appeared before her, displaying unparalleled cultivation and strength.

Zhou Yuling was so excited that she couldn't express it. Ignoring her senior brothers and sisters in front of her, she immediately stepped forward and hugged the man in the black robe and hat.

"Brother Song, thank you. You're always there for me in crucial moments. If it weren't for you today, Yuling would have perished in the jaws of those terrifying ghosts..."

Feeling the soft, warm fragrance of the woman in his arms, even Song Daoxuan's heart, which was as hard as ice, was somewhat melted.

He stroked the blue-robed woman's soft hair.

"Yu Ling, what's going on? This is the Heavenly Demon Cave, such a dangerous place. Why would you risk venturing into this place?"

Zhou Yuling recounted to Song Daoxuan in detail how she joined the cultivation force of Icewind Valley over the years, and how she and her senior brothers and sisters became involved in this place.

"Oh my! Junior Sister Zhou, who is this person? Junior Sister Zhou, when you were in the sect, so many handsome male cultivators pursued you, but you rejected them all. I never thought that Junior Sister Zhou actually had someone she already loved!" Senior Sister Xu Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she saw this scene.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuling hurriedly pushed away Song Daoxuan, who was dressed in black, her cheeks burning hot.

Zhou Yuling nodded and lowered her eyes: "Senior Sister Xu, please don't make malicious assumptions. Brother Song and I are not what you think. We are just ordinary friends."

"Hehe, junior sister, don't be shy. I've seen everything..." Xu Yue and Zhou Yuling were both women and lived and ate together, and were very close.

Zhou Yuling is known as the Snow Fairy in Icewind Valley, which refers to her personality—aloof and unapproachable.

But that arrogant demeanor completely vanished when he was in front of the black-robed man.

In front of the man in black robes, the proud Zhou Yuling displayed the personality of a little girl.

Xu Yue could say without exaggeration that if the male cultivators in Icewind Valley who were pursuing Zhou Yuling saw this scene, they would want to unite and kill this person as soon as possible.

At this moment, Ling Feng, the senior disciple in the crowd, turned pale.

Ling Feng had long regarded Zhou Yuling as his future Daoist partner, after all, this was something his master Shen Tianfeng had tacitly approved of. However, Ling Feng had not revealed his feelings to Zhou Yuling.

Now that Zhou Yuling has thrown herself into Song Daoxuan's arms in public, it's no different from slapping himself in the face.

Ling Feng appears calm now, but his clenched fists are so tight that his nails are digging deep into his flesh, causing him great pain.

After a moment, Ling Feng put on a friendly expression and bowed to Song Daoxuan, saying, "Thank you for your generous help, fellow Daoist. I am Ling Feng. May I ask which sect you belong to?"

"I am but a humble wandering cultivator, without any sect or faction!" Song Daoxuan did not tell the truth. The only person present who knew his true identity was Zhou Yuling. As long as she didn't say it, the cultivators present would know Song Daoxuan's true identity.

The Qinglian Song Clan is currently a major power on the south bank of Yunmeng, but above them are the three major Core Formation Immortal Clans and the vast Zhuxi Sect.

No matter how powerful the Qinglian Song Clan is, as long as no Core Formation cultivator appears in the family, the Song Clan will ultimately only be a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan.

In the eyes of the great cultivators in those sects, the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan was ultimately just a sacrifice.

Upon hearing Song Daoxuan say that he was a wandering cultivator, Ling Feng's face immediately showed a look of disdain.

"Hehe, I thought this person had some powerful backing, that he could know a beauty like Junior Sister Zhou. Turns out he's just a rogue cultivator. Perhaps his strength in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage is not bad."

However, the gap between the mid-stage and late-stage Foundation Establishment is like an insurmountable chasm. This person probably can't break through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment at all. I have already cultivated to the peak of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment. With my status in Xuanfeng Valley, it will only take me a blink of an eye to cultivate to the late-stage Foundation Establishment. At that time, what will this person be worth in my eyes! When Ling Feng thought of this, his disdain for Song Daoxuan intensified.

When Song Daoxuan saw Zhou Yuling acting like a little girl, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

Song Daoxuan rummaged through his storage bag for a while and soon pulled out a jade box.

The jade box contained two second-tier spiritual herbs, which were exactly the Pure Yang Grass that Zhou Yuling needed.

As luck would have it, after checking the storage bags of the Wan Du Sect cultivators that Song Daoxuan had killed earlier, he quickly discovered the two Pure Yang Grasses in front of him.

The pills that could be refined from the Pure Yang Grass did not exist in his Yuanqing Pill Record, so his only way to deal with these two Pure Yang Grasses was to sell them to the Immortal Cultivation Market to exchange them for spirit stones.

Since Zhou Yuling happens to need this item, Song Daoxuan might as well do her a favor.

"Brother Song, finding these two Pure Yang Grasses must have taken a lot of effort, right? I'm too embarrassed to accept them..." Zhou Yuling knew that Song Daoxuan came from a Foundation Establishment cultivation family.

Ultimately, the cultivation conditions of these cultivation families cannot compare to the immense power of these cultivation sects.

Even these two second-tier spiritual herbs are extremely precious to some Foundation Establishment cultivators in the cultivation world.

Song Daoxuan patted the woman's head again: "Take it. Given my relationship with Senior Zhou, and the fact that Yu Ling is also a close friend of mine, this item is of little use to me..."

"Alright, but I remember all the kindness you've shown me, Brother Song, and I will definitely repay you!" The woman in blue robes accepted the two Pure Yang Grasses, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

"By the way, Senior Brother Ling, didn't you say that the restriction on the opportunity deep within the White Bone Cave requires the help of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to break? I think you might as well try it with Brother Song!"

Hearing the woman's words, Ling Feng was also taken aback: "Are you sure he can do it? His strength is indeed impressive, but I still don't think he can break through that strange restriction. Moreover, if he doesn't break through it in one go and keeps trying, it will attract countless vengeful spirits and ghosts. This is no joke!"

It turned out that after Zhou Yuling and her companions ventured deep into the White Bone Cave, they not only encountered powerful demonic beasts, but also a strange and extremely peculiar restriction on the cave's stone walls.

They believed that breaking the seal would grant them some opportunity.

Unexpectedly, the restriction was not broken. Instead, the stone wall was filled with eerie energy, and suddenly many evil spirits and ghosts rushed in from all around the cave.

It was only after being pursued by these vengeful spirits that the group was able to meet Song Daoxuan.
