Mortals, and even my disciple Han Li, don't mess with me!

Before long, Wu Yun escorted Cheng Tiankun, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, out of the cave.

The first thing Wu Yun did after leaving the cave was to check whether the materials the other party had given him were missing in any way.

As it turns out, the other party truly lived up to his reputation as a Nascent Soul stage ancestor-level cultivator.

The materials he sent were not only much more numerous than Wu Yun had expected, but their quality was also top-notch.

It was obvious that this once-in-a-millennium cultivation genius held considerable weight in Cheng Tiankun's heart.

This kind of thoughtfulness truly warmed Wu Yun's heart.

At this moment, he was even planning to start refining magical artifacts directly.

After much deliberation, Wu Yun finally decided to forge a set of seven swords first.

In this way, one can hone one's weapon-refining skills and increase the chances of success in refining magical treasures in the future.

Once the decision was made, Wu Yun did not delay any longer.

With limited time remaining, he had to complete the forging of the Seven Swords within this limited timeframe.

Although this was not Wu Yun's trump card, in the eyes of others, it was a trump card that was enough to intimidate everyone.

Since that's the case, we should naturally let those petty villains witness the true power of the Seven Swords.

It's unclear whether it's due to past experience in weapon crafting or an improvement in one's own cultivation level.

This time, the forging process only took a little over half a month, and the seven flying swords were successfully forged.

What's even more remarkable is that each flying sword is a top-tier magical artifact, of exceptional quality.

When these seven flying swords are used in combination, even when facing a real magic weapon, there is no need to worry about being at a disadvantage.

……

The sword light poured down like a sudden rain, weaving and dancing through the mountains and forests, instantly stirring up gusts of violent wind.

Wherever the wind passes, whether it is towering ancient trees or hard rocks, they are all shredded into dust, and not even a single intact fragment can remain.

Although this strange phenomenon was incredibly powerful, it only lasted for a short while before suddenly dissipating.

The seven flying swords merged into one, transforming into a long sword that was entirely crimson, which landed steadily in Wu Yun's palm.

"As expected of the Rainbow Sword, which ranks first on the list, its power is beyond imagination, and it is also very easy to use."

Wu Yun's eyes were full of admiration as he carefully examined the Rainbow Sword in his hand, his satisfied smile growing even stronger.

Just then, a dazzling stream of light pierced through the air from afar and landed in Wu Yun's hand as well.

This stream of light was actually a blazing flame, which transformed into an ancient communication talisman as soon as it entered his palm.

"Uncle-Master Song Yu found us so quickly. That little girl Zi'er is really efficient."

After reading the contents of the transmission talisman, Wu Yun chuckled softly.

The letter was quite simple; it was Song Yu inviting him to meet.

As for the reason, it naturally comes down to the prescription for the Nine-Bend Elixir.

If Wu Yun hadn't read the book and remembered it, he probably wouldn't have remembered that Song Yu's family had an ancestral medical prescription book.

The ancient texts contain many ancient alchemical formulas, including the method for refining the Nine-Bend Elixir.

He already had the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng; all he lacked was the prescription.

Within the entire Luoyun Sect, apart from Han Li, the only way to obtain the medicinal formula is through Song Yu.

Coincidentally, Wu Yun and Song Yu had some connection—one of his disciples was a descendant of Song Yu's family.

If we consider the seniority of the disciples, Wu Yun and Song Yu can actually be considered to be of the same generation.

Furthermore, since both of them are cultivation geniuses that the Luoyun Sect has only seen once in a thousand years, their relationship became even closer.

It was precisely for this reason that Wu Yun dared to covet Song Yu's medical prescription book, and even sent his apprentice to deliver a message to test the waters.

After all, Wu Yun didn't have much time left.

As his master, he had to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm before Han Li could condense his Nascent Soul.

Only in this way can he secure his position as master and maintain the same level of cultivation as Han Li, which would be entirely beneficial to the development of the Luoyun Sect.

With this thought in mind, Wu Yun put the newly forged Rainbow Sword into his storage bag and set off towards White Phoenix Peak.

……

On White Phoenix Peak, there are mostly female cultivators, so there is an unwritten rule in the sect: any disciple who wants to enter the peak, especially a male cultivator, must first report at the foot of the mountain and obtain permission before entering.

If one rashly enters and inadvertently violates the mountain's restrictions, then one can only accept one's bad luck and suffer the backlash from those restrictions.

However, this was not Wu Yun's first time visiting Baifeng Peak, so he went straight to the top of the mountain without needing to give prior notice.

In no time at all, he reached the top of the mountain.

The place is shrouded in mist and the spiritual energy is so rich that it almost becomes tangible, making it a fairyland that refreshes the mind and spirit.

The most eye-catching feature is the pavilion in the center of the mountaintop.

This pavilion is about twenty feet tall and has three floors. It is built entirely of a rare white wood without any extra colors, making it appear simple and tranquil.

This is also the only building on the entire Baifeng Peak, so it naturally attracts a lot of attention.

Upon seeing the pavilion, Wu Yun immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, bowed, and paid his respects.

"Disciple Wu Yun greets Martial Uncle Song."

As soon as the words were spoken, a familiar voice came from the attic, gentle and warm, making people feel close to it.

"No need for formalities, please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yun didn't stand on ceremony. He stood up straight and strode into the pavilion.

Before long, he saw a woman in a blue dress on the second floor.

Before Wu Yun could speak, the woman raised her head first, and a face so beautiful it could captivate the hearts of all beings came into Wu Yun's view.

"Please sit down."

The woman then gestured for Wu Yun to sit down, and the atmosphere between the two felt somewhat familiar.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master."

Seeing Wu Yun sit down, the woman personally poured him a cup of tea.

She then parted her lips slightly, her voice still gentle and soothing, and slowly asked, "Speak, what is it that you sent Zi'er to see me about?"

"Actually, it's nothing major. I just want to borrow the ancient medical formulary book passed down in the Song family from my senior uncle. I'm about to form my Golden Core, and I hope to find a few formulas in the book that can increase the chances of forming my Golden Core, thereby increasing my confidence in achieving it."

Wu Yun accepted the teacup, thanked him, and then explained the reason he had prepared beforehand.

These words were not a lie. Wu Yun was indeed trying to break through his cultivation level, but what he wanted to break through was not the Core Formation stage, but the Nascent Soul stage.

However, since both are breakthroughs in cultivation levels, it can't really be considered deception.

"Alright. However, I have one condition: if you agree to it, I will lend you this book."

Faced with Wu Yun's words about the formation of the golden core, Song Yu had no doubts and immediately agreed to the request to borrow the book, but he also put forward a condition.

"Please speak, Uncle-Master. As long as it is within my ability, I will not refuse."

Hearing Song Yu's agreement, Wu Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At the same time, he was also very curious about the conditions proposed by Song Yu.

"The conditions are simple. If you fail to win first place in this Three Sects Conference, you must marry a woman from my Song family as your Daoist partner. Rest assured, that woman will not disappoint you in either appearance or talent. Moreover, this matter cannot be forced now; we can discuss it after you reach the Core Formation stage. What do you think?"

Song Yu's condition surprised Wu Yun slightly, leaving him feeling quite taken aback.

Immediately, almost instinctively, he looked Song Yu up and down, and a bold idea involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

But Wu Yun quickly shook his head frantically, banishing the absurd idea from his mind, and then replied without hesitation, "Okay!"
