Mortal: I am the young sect master of the Thousand Illusions Sect

Chapter 69 Hidden Clues

Su Mixin raised her eyes to look at Su Yunluo in front of her, her expression earnest and sincere, and slowly said, "Father, if this Xuanming Shield can truly be successfully forged, its value will be immeasurable. In my opinion, this treasure should be given to you to use."

Upon hearing these words, Su Yunluo was taken aback at first, then chuckled softly, his eyes filled with tenderness and relief. He raised his hand and gently patted Su Mixin's shoulder, his tone firm and unwavering: "Your father would never covet my child's opportunities and treasures."

He turned his light from the broken Yuanming Spirit Iron Cauldron to Su Mixin and slowly said, "The Xuan Turtle shell was an opportunity you obtained alone, and you were the first to discover the mystery of the underground passage. All these encounters are due to your good fortune."

"Although the Primordial Spirit Iron was obtained by my father and me together, it was also to help you acquire the Ice Soul Divine Light Divine Power, so we came here to explore its secrets."

Su Yunlu smiled gently, "Once this treasure is successfully crafted, it will naturally belong to you."

These words were spoken without any reluctance, entirely out of the parents' fulfillment and expectations.

"But Father, I am still in the Foundation Establishment stage. Such a treasure is truly wasted in my hands." Su Mixin frowned.

"Such a treasure is not so easy to refine. Even if the main ingredients are complete, it will take many years just to collect the auxiliary ingredients."

"In addition, this treasure is of great importance. If it is leaked, my Thousand Illusions Sect will be in big trouble. Therefore, the refining process needs to be carefully planned. By the time this treasure is finished, it will probably be many years later. By then, you will definitely have already formed your core."

At this point, Su Yunluo's smile widened. "What, you lack confidence in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage? One day you'll be worthy of such a treasure."

Upon hearing this, a bright and cheerful smile instantly spread across Su Mixin's face.

He nodded emphatically: "Okay!"

Su Yunluo raised his hand and put the entire giant cauldron into his storage bag.

The two searched the area around the cave carefully but found nothing, so they turned and left.

Before leaving, Su Mixin seemed to remember something and asked, "Father, do we still need to ask that person from the Hundred Crafts Pavilion to refine the Xuanming Shield?"

It's easy to leak information about the treasure, causing a lot of trouble.

Su Yunluo nodded confidently, "Don't worry, I will plan carefully and find a way to control that person. The forging of this treasure will indeed require a grandmaster-level weapon refiner; it is quite difficult."

After the matter on Cold Soul Island was concluded, Su Yunluo took Su Mixin and left first.

This time, Su Yunluo, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, carried her on his escape light, and soon after, Su Mixin returned to the Thousand Illusions Sect.

After bidding farewell to Su Yunluo, Su Mixin returned to the Mixin Palace.

Feng Hou's cold voice came through divine sense immediately: "Master, I didn't dare to use divine sense to transmit my voice in front of your father before, for fear of being exposed."

"When I was in the cave beneath the Xu family ancestral hall, I discovered through the live map that there were traces of faint spiritual energy flowing directly beneath the giant cauldron. Based on observation, it is very likely a hidden formation."

Su Mixin froze, a hint of astonishment flashing in her eyes. "There's more to this story?"

After a moment of silence, he said, "No rush. Cold Soul Island is now under the control of the Thousand Illusions Sect. Once our cultivation level improves, we can go back there and explore to see what else is hidden there."

He pondered to himself that this Cold Soul Island was very likely related to the Ice Soul Fairy.

Judging from their names and her style of doing things, the Ice Soul Divine Light and the Giant Cauldron are very likely things she left behind.

The Ice Soul Fairy, a powerful figure in the spirit realm who is about to advance to the Mahayana stage, left behind quite a few loose ends when she descended to this realm to fight against the demon invasion.

As for whether the Xu family, a family with countless years of history, has any close relationship with her, that remains unknown.

After returning to Mi Xin Palace for a short rest and suppressing her various speculations about the secrets of Han Po Island and the Ice Soul Fairy, Su Mi Xin's first priority was to see Yan Ru Yan.

He moved swiftly and soon arrived at the Xinyan Palace, where Yan Ruyan lived, not far away.

The name "Xinyan Palace" was chosen by Su Mixin, and both he and Yan Ruyan were very satisfied with it.

Yan Ruyan most likely sensed Su Mixin's arrival with her divine sense and couldn't wait to come out of the palace to greet her.

Before she could even offer a gentle greeting, Su Mixin strode forward, her eyes filled with eagerness, and reached out to embrace her slender, soft waist, lifting her up in her arms.

They completely ignored the many maids on duty in the hall.

Caught off guard, Yan Ruyan gasped softly and instinctively reached out to wrap her arms around his neck. Strands of hair fell gently against his warm cheeks, and a hint of shyness and warmth appeared in her eyes.

Holding the beauty in her arms, Su Mixin entered the depths of Qingyan Palace with practiced ease, arriving at a tea room. This tea room was specially arranged by Yan Ruyan herself.

Inside, there was an exquisite wooden tea table with smooth and lustrous teaware.

The key feature is a soft velvet recliner against the wall, and a white jade Go set on a wooden shelf in the corner, with its black and white pieces that are translucent and round, exuding a sense of leisure and elegance.

This place is quiet and deserted, offering the utmost peace and privacy.

Su Mixin raised her hand and formed a hand seal. Instantly, an isolation barrier was deployed, covering the entire tea room and completely blocking out any sounds or divine sense probing from inside and outside, blocking all prying eyes and disturbances.

After doing all this, he slowly sat down on the recliner, his arms slightly bent, steadily supporting Yan Ruyan's waist, so that she could sit comfortably on his lap.

The warm breaths mingled, and only the soft breathing of the two could be heard in the quiet tea room, creating a tender and intimate atmosphere.

Yan Ruyan's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes gazing at him tenderly, her fingertips gently caressing his clothes, waiting for him to speak.

With a gentle smile on her lips, Su Mixin raised her hand and took out a delicate and exquisite white jade bottle from her storage bag.

"What is this?" Yan Ruyan asked softly, her gaze fixed on the jade bottle, her eyes filled with doubt.

Looking at the beautiful woman in her arms, Su Mixin spoke softly, "Guess?"

Yan Ruyan tilted her head slightly, carefully sensing the contents of the bottle with her divine sense, but still couldn't discern anything. However, her curiosity only intensified.

Su Mixin stopped keeping her in suspense and whispered in her ear, "This contains a Youth Preservation Pill."

These three short words, when they reached Yan Ruyan's ears, caused her body to tremble slightly.

Having cultivated for so long, she naturally understood the preciousness of the Youth Preservation Pill.

This pill has no effect on increasing cultivation or breaking through realms, yet it is a treasure coveted by countless female cultivators in the world.

Cultivation is a long process, and even with profound cultivation, it is difficult to resist the erosion of time. One's appearance will eventually change quietly with the passage of time.

The Youth-Preserving Pill can lock in one's current appearance, preserving youth and beauty forever, preventing aging and capturing the most stunning look in the world.

This item may not seem to increase combat power, but it is more valued by female cultivators than many rare pills, top-grade magic weapons and treasures. Ordinary female cultivators may not be able to obtain one even if they spend their entire lives.

In an instant, endless surprise and warmth filled Yan Ruyan's heart.

Her eyes sparkled with emotion, and she could no longer suppress her feelings. She suddenly tightened her arms around his neck, tilted her head slightly, and leaned forward to gently press her soft lips against Su Mixin's.

The kiss was filled with a girl's shyness and joy, passionate and pure.

The quiet, gentle atmosphere enveloped the two of them.

Su Mixin had already made arrangements for the six Youth Preservation Pills she obtained from Han Laomo in this transaction.

On his way back to the sect, he handed the first pill to Su Yunluo, entrusting her to give it to Ye Xinlian.

Seeing this, Su Yunluo was very pleased and immediately praised him highly.

As for Su Yunluo herself, she certainly didn't need this item; her outstanding temperament was enough.

However, Su Mixin took the second Youth Preservation Pill without hesitation.

This third Youth-Preserving Pill naturally belonged to Yan Ruyan, who was already engaged.

The remaining three pills are unknown which beautiful female cultivators in the cultivation world will benefit from them in the future. Of course, if there are not enough to go around, Su Mixin can trade some more with Old Demon Han.

In the quiet room, the two kissed and intertwined on the recliner.

Su Mixin showed no mercy, wrapping her right arm around her soft waist and tightening it slightly.

Yan Ruyan let out a soft moan, opened her pearly teeth, and gently bit Su Mixin's lower lip as a small protest.

Su Mixin's lips curled into a wicked smile, and instead parted her pearly teeth, probing inwards.

His other hand gently stroked her hair and landed on her back.

That night, the two nestled together, the atmosphere tender and affectionate.

However, considering that he now has all the demon essence liquid and will soon be going into seclusion to further his cultivation.

It's really going too far to take away Yan Ruyan's most precious possession and then immediately abandon her.

So, before the final step, Su Mixin endured it with immense willpower.

"No rush! Anyway, you're already branded with my name, Su, so I'll devour you sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyan gritted her teeth and lightly punched Su Mixin's shoulder.
