Su Li heard this and nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a trace of deep thought. She knew that the words of the Great Elder were not without reason. Xiao Ling's talent and potential were indeed impressive, and if the relationship between him and Ning Yuxi could be further developed, it would undoubtedly be a great help to Yin Gu.

"I will seriously consider the advice of the Great Elder." Su Li spoke slowly, with a hint of caution in her tone, "Master Xiao Ling is indeed a talent, and his future is limitless. As for Ning Yuxi, she is my proud disciple, and I also hope that she can have a better future."

Seeing Su Li's response, the elder nodded with satisfaction. She knew that Su Li was a far-sighted valley master who had a clear plan for the future of Yin Valley.

"Well, in that case, I won't say any more." The Great Elder finally said, "You have always been prudent in doing things. I believe you will handle it well."

……

"Alas, Senior Sister always values ​​interests so much. Perhaps it is because of this character that she has remained at the level of Nine Revolutions Dou Zun all these years."

On the top of a solitary peak in the Sound Valley, a woman in white stood gracefully. Her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate numerous obstacles and look directly at the scene in the main hall, taking in everything that happened there.

"However, this girl Su Li actually wanted to hastily betroth the most outstanding young disciple in Yin Valley to that hateful brat. This is really nonsense. It seems that I need to give her some guidance and let her know how to become a qualified valley master. I absolutely cannot accept such a rash decision..."

……

After leaving the main hall, Ning Yuxi led the way and guided Xiao Ling and Qing Lin. Along the way, whenever they met disciples from Yin Valley, they would automatically make way for the three of them, with respect in their eyes.

Since Ning Yuxi's personality tended to be aloof, she didn't often take the initiative to join in the conversation. During this journey, Qinglin and Xiao Ling were talking one after another, and Ning Yuxi only occasionally interrupted. Although she didn't talk much, whenever she spoke, she was always polite and decent, so the atmosphere didn't become awkward.

After about ten minutes of walking, Ning Yuxi led Xiao Ling to a heavily guarded hall. With his keen spiritual power, Xiao Ling could clearly sense at least dozens of hidden gazes, closely watching every movement here like sharp arrows.

If anyone dared to trespass here, he would definitely be attacked head-on by these people, but Xiao Ling didn't care. Firstly, it was because of his own strength, and secondly, Ning Yuxi had already stepped forward to negotiate.

When everyone saw Ning Yuxi's face clearly, the vigilance in the eyes of the disciples who were conspicuously performing guard duties in front of the hall gradually melted away, and they showed deep respect. And those prying eyes that were secretly cast in this direction were also retracted one by one.

The three people did not show much surprise at this scene. Then, Ning Yuxi calmly took out half of the jade token from the ring on her finger and bowed gently to the front.

Not long after, the air seemed to be moved by an invisible hand, and a slight wave appeared. An old woman in a white robe appeared in front of everyone silently. She first nodded to Ning Yuxi, and then reached out and took out half a jade token from her bosom.

As soon as the two jade plates came into contact, they merged into one tightly without even a trace of a gap.

The old woman in the gray robe kept a calm look in her eyes and was not surprised by the scene before her.

Then, she turned her gaze towards Xiao Ling and the other two, her voice gentle and kind:

"Everything is fine, Yuxi girl, go in... Master Xiao Ling, thank you very much for curing the toxins in the body of the Grand Elder. I hope you can choose something that satisfies you."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, thinking to himself, this old woman's qualifications in Yin Valley seem to be extraordinary. She even knows something about Chu Wanqing's affairs. I wonder how many years she has experienced in this Yin Valley.

With a "creak!", the palace door slowly opened in front of the shining jade plate, and Ning Yuxi led the way in.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling took Qing Lin's hand and followed closely, crossing the threshold behind Ning Yuxi.

As soon as he entered the palace, Xiao Ling's eyes were immediately attracted by a bottomless passage. The ground and walls on both sides of the passage were inlaid with white stone bricks.

He involuntarily released his soul power to explore the surroundings, but he did not expect that these white stone bricks suddenly flashed a soft fluorescent light, as if responding to his soul power and swallowing it up.

Noticing this movement, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Ning Yuxi noticed Xiao Ling's reaction, tilted her head slightly, and explained in the same cold tone as before: "These are all soul-melting stones, they have the property of absorbing soul power. This design is to prevent outsiders from deliberately breaking in, so that they can be discovered in time and take measures. After all, this is an important place in Sound Valley, so the security measures must be stricter."

"So these are the Melting Spirit Stones. I've only heard about them before, but I didn't expect to see them with my own eyes today, and there are so many of them..." Xiao Ling touched his chin, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The Soul-melting Stone can not only absorb soul power, but also block perception, and its defense is also quite strong. Looking at the densely packed Soul-melting Stones in the passage, Xiao Ling estimated that even an ordinary Dou Zun would have to work hard to break the defense here. From this, it can be seen that the family background of Yin Gu is indeed extraordinary.

Ning Yuxi waved her hand lightly, and a burst of energy surged out. The oil lamps on both sides of the passage lit up one after another. The flickering flames gradually dispelled the surrounding darkness.

"Master Xiao Ling, this way please," Ning Yuxi's voice was soft but firm. She paused and continued, "After walking through this passage, we will reach the real entrance to the treasure house."

Xiao Ling smiled and nodded, and walked side by side with Qing Lin, following closely behind Ning Yuxi. Under the light, their footsteps stepped steadily into the bright passage.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet passage, tap-tap-tap, like a brisk rhythm, accompanying the pace of the three people moving forward.

Ning Yuxi walked in front, followed closely by Xiao Ling and Qing Lin. Their figures were elongated under the lights in the passage and reflected on the smooth stone walls.

Time passed quietly, and about five minutes later, a huge door appeared in front of them at the end of the passage.

The gate is heavy and simple, with complex patterns engraved on it, which seems to tell the long history of Yin Valley.

The three of them stopped at the same time, their eyes attracted by the mysterious door.

"Behind this stone door is the first treasure house of our Yin Valley. All the most precious treasures of Yin Valley over the past thousand years have been collected here." Ning Yuxi introduced with a smile, her lips slightly raised.

After she finished speaking, she raised her jade hand slightly, and the token that was shining with a faint luster appeared in her palm.

She just stretched out her arm and pressed the token firmly into a groove in the center of the door.

The groove was engraved with complex and ancient runes, as if quietly waiting for the arrival of the token. When the token was embedded, there seemed to be a glimmer of light flashing between the runes, as if the ancient mechanism was awakened.

As the glimmer of light flashed, a series of "clicking" sounds suddenly rang out, echoing in the passage. The huge stone door began to tremble slowly, and the dust on the door fell down.

The heavy stone door moved to both sides little by little under the action of the mechanism, and a dull friction sound was heard every time it moved.

As he was about to step into the depths of the treasure house, Xiao Ling suddenly had an idea and summoned the little mink from the system space. This guy's vision is not to be underestimated. He helped a lot last time, and maybe he can find something rare this time.

The little mink was busy processing the materials for refining the weapon, when suddenly the world spun around and it disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye. This frightened it, and it looked around quickly, only to find that it was held in Xiao Ling's arms, and then it breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"Xiao Ling, what's wrong with you? You didn't even inform me in advance and just dragged me out like that. I was just concentrating just now, but now all the thoughts in my brain have been interrupted by you." Xiao Diao glared at Xiao Ling fiercely and said with a complaining look on his face.

Xiao Ling took out an eighth-grade spiritual fruit from his ring and handed it to Xiao Diao with an apologetic smile on his face. "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I didn't expect you were busy. Consider this spiritual fruit as an apology. I'll fill your stomach."

The little mink's eyes lit up instantly as it stared at the spiritual fruit that exuded rich spiritual energy. Its dissatisfaction was instantly replaced by a greedy desire.

It quickly took the fruit and chewed it while mumbling, "You're smart. This fruit tastes good. I, Master Diao, will forgive you this time."

Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiao Diao's satisfied look. He knew that although Xiao Diao complained, he was not really angry.

Xiao Ling gently touched the little marten's head. The fur felt very good. He asked, "Diao, how is the refining of the Pure Yuan Treasure that you and Yan worked on going? Is the progress going smoothly?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Diao immediately stopped chewing the spiritual fruit, rolled his eyes at Xiao Ling, and said with a pout, "Humph, you say that so easily. Pure Yuan treasures are rare things, how can they be so easy to refine? Don't you think about it? Even if this kind of treasure is placed in those super sects with profound heritage, it is a top-level treasure that is hard to come by. How can it be so easy to refine it? We are still a long way to go."

Its furry little body twisted in Xiao Ling's arms, found a more comfortable position, and continued to nibble on the spiritual fruit, muttering as it nibbled: "If it weren't for the fact that you're my brother, I wouldn't take on this hard job. It's too much work."

Chapter 394: Fate-Defying Twin Lotuses

At this moment, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front. It turned out that the door of the treasure house slowly opened, and the light inside poured out, instantly attracting the attention of Xiao Ling and the other two. Even Xiao Diao couldn't help it. He stopped what he was saying and looked over curiously.

"Master Xiao Ling, Qing Lin, please come in."

Ning Yuxi turned around to look at the two people behind her, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, stretched out her arm gracefully, made an inviting gesture, and spoke softly.

Ning Yuxi's eyes swept lightly over the purple little mink that suddenly appeared. Although a hint of curiosity arose in her heart, she just glanced at it lightly and then looked away calmly.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly to Xiao Diao and Qing Lin, and after saying hello, he walked forward towards the treasure house. As he walked forward, the secret room that was originally shrouded in darkness gradually became clear in front of him, and the vast scene was revealed.

Compared with the magnificent treasure house in Burning Flame Valley, the treasure house in Sound Valley is more delicate and exquisite. The interior decoration here does not pursue the kind of shocking pomp, but is more subtle. Every treasure is carefully placed and in order, and the whole space is filled with a sense of order and tranquility.

The walls around are as solid as a rock, carefully built with pieces of granite, and appear extremely strong.

Rows of display cabinets are arranged in an orderly manner, and various musical instruments are placed on the cabinets, from guqin to flute, from pipa to gong, each of which exudes a unique artistic atmosphere.

These musical instruments gleam in the soft light, as if quietly telling the thousand-year musical heritage of Yin Valley.

These display cabinets are covered with an almost transparent space film, which looks as thin as a cicada's wing, but emits faint space fluctuations. It can be seen at a glance that the protection measures here are quite in place.

"Hey, there are all kinds of musical instruments displayed here, many of which I see for the first time." Qinglin looked around, her big emerald eyes flashing, and she said with a hint of surprise.

In their free time, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin would occasionally play with musical instruments for fun. Since Mu Qingluan was good at sonic fighting, Qinglin and the others had more contact with musical instruments during their time with her. Although they could not say that they were proficient in them, they at least knew a little bit.

However, it was the first time that Qinglin had seen so many musical instruments. Many of them were new to her and she had never seen them before.

Hearing Qinglin's words, Ning Yuxi turned her head, her eyes fell on Qinglin's face, and she smiled and explained: "In Sound Valley, our members are all proficient in sonic fighting skills, which are used for attack. For people outside, these musical instruments may just be items for entertainment."

"However, for our members of Sound Valley, these musical instruments are the most handy weapons. A high-quality musical instrument can enhance sonic fighting skills and cannot be underestimated."

Ning Yuxi paused for a moment, her eyes swept over the neatly displayed musical instruments one by one, and then continued: "So, our Sound Valley undoubtedly has the richest collection of these high-quality musical instruments in the entire continent. Every instrument here is the result of Sound Valley's careful selection and careful care over the years. They are not just simple instruments, but also a symbol of our Sound Valley's heritage and strength."

From her words, one can clearly feel the sense of pride that comes naturally.

After hearing this, Xiao Ling and Qing Lin nodded in agreement.

Then, Xiao Ling turned to Qing Lin and said, "I don't know much about musical instruments, and I haven't learned any sonic fighting skills that require musical instruments. Qing Lin, I remember that you have learned a few sonic fighting skills before. You should also choose a musical instrument. This should be of some help to you."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, Ning Yuxi's eyes flashed with interest. She turned to Qinglin with a smile and said, "Sister Qinglin, it turns out that you are also studying sonic fighting skills. I'm curious, what musical instruments do you usually use to perform fighting skills? Here, you can pick one at will, maybe you can find one that suits you better."

"I learned some when I had free time before, but I'm not proficient in it," Qing Lin smiled lightly, with a hint of shyness on his face, "If I were to talk about a commonly used musical instrument, it would probably be the flute."

"Flute?" Ning Yuxi's eyes flashed with surprise. "Then I have to introduce one to you. Look over there, on the second layer from the bottom of the third display cabinet, there is an ice-blue flute called 'Frost Flute'."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Yuxi led Qinglin to the display cabinets of musical instruments. Seeing this, Xiao Ling gently stroked the little mink in his arms and followed them with interest.

"This Frost Flute has a great history. It was made from a piece of ice crystal jade that Senior Yin Gu found by chance in an extremely cold place. This piece of jade itself contains the spiritual power of ice. After being carefully carved, it has a wonderful fit with the power of sound waves." Coming to the display case, Ning Yuxi began to introduce it to Qinglin.

When he got closer to the display case, Qinglin could see the Frost Flute more clearly. There were exquisite patterns on the flute, as if they were patterns formed naturally by ice and snow, and under the light, it exuded a cool luster.

Ning Yuxi continued, "When you use it to perform sonic fighting skills, it not only enhances the power of the sonic waves, but also causes ice damage. If you use it with some ice-based sonic fighting skills, the effect will be even more amazing. Moreover, it conducts the sonic waves very smoothly, making your sonic waves purer and longer... In addition, it can also relieve stress for people."

While saying this, Ning Yuxi seemed to glance at Xiao Ling inadvertently. This subtle movement did not attract Xiao Ling's attention, but Qing Lin, who was born with unique eyes, captured it keenly.

Qinglin didn't really care too much about the special properties of the flute. After all, when she was fighting normally, her attack methods didn't particularly rely on sound wave fighting skills.

All along, she has relied on her own cultivation as the foundation, coupled with the summoned snake beasts to fight together, which is her main combat power.

However, an effect that Ning Yuxi mentioned later made Qinglin a little excited. The sound of the flute could calm the mind and focus the spirit. If she could master this wonderful ability, she could play it for her young master in her spare time in the future.

When Qinglin thought of the relaxed and comfortable look on the young master's face when he heard the flute music, the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up, and there was a bit more anticipation in his eyes.

Qing Lin thought so in her heart, and a somewhat embarrassed look appeared on her face. She looked at Ning Yuxi and said softly,

"Sister Yuxi, can you let me take this flute? If you need to exchange it, I have something of similar value that I can exchange with Yin Gu. You won't suffer any loss."

Ning Yuxi waved her hand quickly, with a gentle smile that was completely different from usual, and said, "Sister Qinglin, please don't be so polite. There is no need to be so polite between us. Have you forgotten what happened in the Monster Mountain Range? If you hadn't helped me that time, I don't know what would have happened. Just consider this as a gift from me to you, it's no big deal."

Ning Yuxi smiled and took out a special token from her ring. Then, she gently pressed the token on the transparent space film in the display cabinet. As the token came into contact with the film, the space film slowly dissipated, and the Frost Flute appeared in full view of the three people.

Seeing this, Qing Lin was no longer polite. She sincerely said "thank you" to Ning Yuxi, then waved her hand and put the Ningshuang Flute into her ring. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she was obviously in a very good mood.

After watching Qinglin put the Frost Flute away, Ning Yuxi nodded slightly with satisfaction. Then, she turned to look at Xiao Ling, with a hint of solemnity in her tone,

"This jade token has the power to open all space protection shields. It is very simple to use. Just stick it on the space membrane and the barrier will melt instantly. Now, Master Xiao Ling can start to select the items you need. Everything here is up to you."

Xiao Ling took the jade token with a calm expression, and did not refuse too much. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he chuckled and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Yuxi. I won't be polite then."

Ning Yuxi knew clearly that Xiao Ling had little interest in these musical instruments and she did not plan to stay here for long. Soon, she said to Xiao Ling, "Master Xiao Ling, please follow me. There are many other rare items in the treasure house." After that, she took lotus steps and walked towards the depths of the treasure house.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling and Qing Lin looked at each other, raised their feet at the same time tacitly, and followed Ning Yuxi.

Not long after, Ning Yuxi brought Xiao Ling and Qing Lin to the area of ​​the treasure vault where the skills and fighting techniques were stored. The wooden shelves here were neatly arranged, and the scrolls on them were neatly stored and displayed quietly.

Xiao Ling slowly looked around, seeing a dazzling array of martial arts and fighting techniques all around him. Everywhere he looked, martial arts and fighting techniques of various attributes filled the wooden shelves. The sheer number was overwhelming.

Among them, sonic fighting skills accounted for the vast majority, and the number was staggering, including all kinds of wonderful sonic fighting skills. As expected of a place that specialized in studying music, the collection in this area was unparalleled.

Unfortunately, there are no Heaven-level skills or combat techniques here. The most powerful of them are the three combat techniques that can be performed together, which are as powerful as Heaven-level combat techniques.
