Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body

A glimmer of fire and expectation flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes: "Why not, go save my father first!"

Su Yun shook his head: "Your father is the current head of the Xiao family. Although his cultivation is low, he has a special status. If the Soul Palace captures him, he will definitely be handed over to the Soul Clan or even imprisoned in the Soul Realm.

Not to mention me, even during the heyday of the Xiao clan, we didn't dare to talk about entering the Soul Realm to save people. What you said is a bit unreasonable."

The Soul Realm, the small world where the Soul Clan lives, not only has many Soul Clan Dou Shengs, but even the Soul Emperor is hiding his strength there. Going to the Soul Realm now would be like seeking death.

"It's so difficult to save my father..."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, feeling heavy-hearted.

Su Yun said calmly, "You don't need to worry too much. If I'm guessing correctly, the Soul Clan's ultimate goal is not your father, but to use him as a threat to find something."

Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changed: "That's right!"

A circle of silver ripples suddenly spread out from Su Yun's sleeves, and the power of space enveloped the two of them like a water curtain.

Yao Lao coughed lightly and turned around as if nothing had happened. Half of his soul was floating in the hall, and he seemed to have a strong interest in this ancient relic that no longer had any treasures.

Su Qian also acted in a similar manner, while Zi Yan pouted, "It's not fun here!"

At this time, within the barrier.

Su Yun said softly: "The fragment of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from my clan should be with you."

"So that's the name of that piece of broken jade?"

Xiao Yan touched the storage ring with his palm and took out a piece of light green ancient jade from it.

"Sure enough, the Soul Clan hasn't taken away the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, otherwise your father would be in real danger."

Su Yun reached out and took the broken jade.

"Tuoshe Ancient Emperor... Could it be that this fragment is related to the last Dou Emperor, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, who lived ten thousand years ago?"

Xiao Yan looked shocked.

"Ah."

Su Yun nodded: "Thousands of years ago, an ancient relic was unearthed. The commotion was so great that the eight ancient clans came out and started fighting.

What the eight ancient tribes were fighting for was a Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade. The battle turned the sun and the moon upside down, and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. In the end, the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade was split into eight pieces, and each of the eight tribes held one.

The ruins record that this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is the key to unlocking the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's inheritance cave. As long as you gather all eight pieces of the Emperor Jade and find the cave's location, you will obtain Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's inheritance!

Xiao Yan clicked his tongue. This fragment must have come from a very important source. No wonder the Soul Clan couldn’t stop thinking about it.

However, the eight ancient clans are still far inferior to the ancestor. They are still fighting for a key, but the ancestor has already obtained the complete inheritance of the Sword Emperor!

Su Yun said: "You don't have to worry too much. As long as this fragment has not fallen into the hands of the Soul Clan, your father is safe."

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry on his face did not disappear. Even if his life was not in danger, his father would probably be severely tortured by the Soul Clan and suffer unbearable hardship.

"Alas, my father is just a great fighter, can he handle it..."

Xiao Yan sighed.

Su Yun's eyes gleamed: "Leave this fragment of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade with me for now."

"Yes, I will listen to you, ancestor."

Xiao Yan bowed and agreed without any objection.

It is indeed safer to keep this piece of broken jade with Su Yun. He is just a Dou Ling. If the news is leaked, there is no possibility for him to keep the ancient jade.

A barely perceptible smile crossed Su Yun's lips.

Finally, I got it...

In order to complete the final layout of this relic, the broken jade of the ancient emperor Tuoshe is indispensable!

Su Yun flipped his palm and put the broken jade into the ring, saying softly: "Your father's matter cannot be rushed. Your most urgent task is to improve your cultivation and become a strong man who can stand on his own.

Otherwise, if you really have the chance to go to Soul Realm to rescue your father one day, but you are too weak to do anything but watch, it will be a disappointing thing."

"Yes, Xiao Yan will follow the ancestor's instructions!"

Xiao Yan nodded, a hint of excitement flashing across his face: "Ancestor, your swordsmanship is so amazing, and you have inherited the Sword Emperor's legacy. Why don't I practice swordsmanship with you?"

Sword practice? I'm only a novice myself, how can I teach you...

Su Yun said decisively: "No!"

Xiao Yan was stunned: "Why?"

Su Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his white robe draped like frost and snow, untainted by the slightest trace of worldly influence. Sword energy flowed through his body, and his slender, upright figure was faintly in tune with the energy of heaven and earth, as if he would transform into a terrifying sword rainbow at any moment, unsheathed and slashing!

Su Yun's expression was solemn, his eyes like swords, and he pointed his finger at the Xuanzhong ruler behind Xiao Yan: "Xiao Yan, among thousands of sharp weapons, nothing is more powerful than your faith!

Your most proficient weapon is this heavy ruler, right? If you abandon the ruler and learn swordsmanship today because you see the sharpness of swordsmanship, will you switch to another school when you encounter a stronger martial art?

Being indecisive and neglecting one thing while focusing on another is a big taboo in cultivation!"

Su Yun's voice was like the clanging of metal, and every word was like a sword engraved into Xiao Yan's mind. Xiao Yan's whole body was shocked, and these words penetrated deeply into his mind like enlightenment.

He grasped the Xuanzhong ruler with his backhand, recalling the hardships he had gone through in the past in order to practice the "Flame-Splitting Wave-Devouring Ruler".

Yes, he has already learned the ruler method from his teacher, so why should he seek help from someone else?

A light breeze blew past, dispelling the confusion in his eyes. Xiao Yan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Thank you for your teachings, Old Ancestor. Xiao Yan understands!"

What do you unserstand?

Su Yun nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "It's good that you can figure it out, but a way to protect yourself is indeed necessary.

I won't teach you swordsmanship, but I learned from my teacher's memory a method for refining a magic weapon, which is very good.

This kind of magic weapon is specifically designed to defeat the Soul Clan. I haven't had much contact with the people in the Soul Palace, but if they practice that strange and eerie technique, it must be very effective!"

Xiao Yan looked expectant: "I wonder what kind of magic weapon it is?"

A faint smile appeared on Su Yun's face: "Its name is the Human Emperor Banner!"

Chapter 75 Zi Yan's Crisis

"Human Emperor Banner!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but rub his palms. This sounded like a righteous magic weapon that could restrain demons and monsters!

With the Human Emperor Banner, he won’t have to be afraid when facing people from the Soul Palace in the future!

"However, refining this Human Emperor Banner is not easy. It requires several extremely precious materials. I don't have any of them at the moment. You need to collect them yourself."

Su Yun said softly.

"This is natural!"

Xiao Yan nodded: "Old Ancestor, please tell me what materials are needed. After I find them, I will ask you to help me refine the Human Emperor Banner!"

Su Yun said with relief: "In that case, please listen carefully."

Xiao Yan pricked up his ears.

"This Human Emperor Banner requires Blood Soul Crystal, Yin Evil Bone, Resentful Soul Silk, Nine Nether Mysterious Iron... plus the Heart Devouring Demon Vine. After gathering these materials and finding a Ten Thousand Burial Tomb, we can then offer sacrifices to the Human Emperor Banner."

Su Yun talked freely, but Xiao Yan felt something was wrong the more he listened. Would the Human Emperor Banner refined in this way really not emit black smoke?

"Ancestor, I, I've made a note of it."

Xiao Yan scratched his head. Although he was quite confused, he didn't say it out loud.

"Ah."

Xiao Yan thought for a moment, then asked, "By the way, do you have any poison-attributed skills or combat techniques?"

Su Yun looked him over and said, "You have pure fire energy in your body, and you have even subdued a strange fire. What do you need these things for?"

"It's like this. Another senior told me that you were trapped in this ruin. I had an agreement with him that if we explored the ruins, we would share the treasures equally.

If I return empty-handed, I will inevitably be suspected of stealing the treasure."

Xiao Yan answered truthfully.

"You are a man of your word, indeed."

Su Yun pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, you should collect two sets of the materials I just mentioned... and one Human Emperor Banner. It will be enough for him to use for the rest of his life."

"Yes."

"Well, but this matter cannot be rushed. Even in the era of my teacher, the Human Emperor Banner was an extremely powerful and famous magic weapon.

These materials are not easy to collect. The Northwest Continent has always been barren, and even after a thousand years, I think it will remain so. When you reach Zhongzhou, you can keep an eye out for them."

"it is good."

After he finished speaking, Su Yun flicked his sleeves, and the space barrier that enveloped the two of them slowly dissipated like mist, turning into specks of silver light and merging into the world.

Su Yun looked at Yao Lao and the other two and asked, "Who are these people?"

Yao Lao stroked his beard and said, "Greetings, Senior. My name is Yao Chen. In my lifetime, I also reached the peak of Dou Zun and was honored as an eighth-grade alchemist.

Later, he was harmed by a villain, and by chance, he met Xiao Yan and is now his teacher.

Su Yun seemed to be lost in thought: "Your last name is Yao, and you're an alchemist... but you come from the Yao clan, one of the eight ancient clans?"

Yao Lao gave a bitter laugh and said, "Indeed, I couldn't hide it from the eyes of the seniors after all, but that's all in the past. I've been expelled from the Yao Clan, and they probably won't recognize me as a member of their clan anymore."

"I see."

Xiao Yan looked surprised, as his teacher had never told him about this.

Su Qian cupped his hands and said, "My name is Su Qian, and I am the Grand Elder of the Inner Court of Canaan Academy... Our dean is from the Thunder Clan, and his name is Mang Tianchi."

"What a coincidence! Everyone who comes here is more or less related to the Eight Ancient Clans. I don't know if it's a coincidence or fate."

Su Yun shook his head, as if lamenting the fickleness of fate, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the little Zi Yan.

Zi Yan hid behind Su Qian, only timidly showing half of her face, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's: "Hello, hello..."

Xiao Yan looked at him sideways because of his behavior. This fearless little devil had never appeared like this before.

Su Yun frowned slightly, and the gentle expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a solemn look. He looked straight at Zi Yan and never looked away.

Su Qian almost instinctively took a step forward, and his gray robe suddenly spread out, completely isolating Zi Yan's figure from Su Yun's sight.

Yao Lao was shocked, but he reacted.
