"Secret news?"

When Chen Yun heard this, he immediately became interested and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Indeed, if I hadn't seen this cold marrow with my own eyes, I would have almost forgotten about it."

"Except for a few high-ranking officials of Beiye Xiaoji Palace, I'm afraid no one knows this secret."

"In fact, in addition to being used as a material for refining tools and pills, the most important function of cold marrow is to be the main raw material for refining the ancient secret medicine 'Rejuvenating True Water'."

Lord Dayan said solemnly.

Huiyang Water, a secret medicine said to have miraculous powers, can grow flesh on bones and repair the body.

Its rumored effects include bringing the dead back to life, and although the authenticity of this is unknown, its effect of extending the lifespan of a monk is widely recognized.

It is said that Huiyang Water can extend the lifespan of an ordinary cultivator by a quarter, providing the possibility for cultivators to advance to the Nascent Soul stage and the God Transformation stage.

However, in order to refine Huiyang Water, one needs to use the sun's essence fire under the lava thousands of feet high to temper the cold marrow, so as to achieve the balance of yin and yang and successfully refine this miraculous secret medicine.

The Sun's Essence Fire is an extremely rare and hard to come by item in the world of immortal cultivation.

It is still unknown how long an ordinary cultivator can last if he is placed under thousands of feet of lava. Moreover, the probability of the formation of the sun's essence fire in thousands of miles of lava is even smaller.

Once the solar essence fire is formed, it becomes like a spirit, hiding its whereabouts in the lava and making it difficult to capture.

Moreover, even if one were lucky enough to obtain this fire, it would be in vain without the recipe of Huiyang Water.

Chen Yun shook his head slightly, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

After hearing this, Lord Dayan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Although I am powerless against the Sun's Essence Fire, I happen to have the formula for the Yang-restoring Water."

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Chen has forgotten the deputy palace master of Xiaoji Palace whom I killed that year? This formula is recorded in his consciousness."

"At that time, I thought this formula was quite rare, so I wrote it down. If you really want to refine that elixir, I can provide it to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun was shocked at first, and then his joy was beyond words.

He said quickly:
"It is a blessing for me that you have this recipe. I will keep it for now, maybe it will be useful in the future."

With the key item, Huiyang True Water, Chen Yun's possibility of advancing to the Spirit Transformation Stage has undoubtedly greatly increased.

The sun's essence fire is an extraordinary thing and cannot be easily captured by the cultivators of this world.

Although the great monks of Beiye Xiaoji Palace have possessed the formula of Huiyang Water and Hansui for many years, they have never succeeded in refining this spiritual water. This shows how difficult it is.

Chen Yun was well aware of this, but still wanted to be prepared.

Lord Dayan handed the copied formula of Huiyang Water to Chen Yun, and reminded him that if the cold marrow was integrated into the snow crystal ball, its spirituality and power could be greatly enhanced.

Chen Yun expressed his gratitude for the suggestion and decided to adopt it.

Chen Yun was also curious about whether the cold air of the cold marrow could be absorbed and fused by the Purple Luo Extreme Fire. He speculated that if successful, it might further enhance the power of the Purple Luo Extreme Fire.

Chen Yun made a decision in his mind. After pouring the silver beads in the jade dish back into the small bottle, he waved his hand and a ball of purple flame appeared in his hand.

He quickly turned his palm, and the purple fireball instantly turned into a small light curtain, tightly sealing the bottle mouth.

Then, he made hand seals with his other hand and muttered something.

Along with the sound of the spell, the flames on the light curtain began to rotate on their own, gradually increasing in speed, forming brilliant purple lights.

After a moment, a wisp of silvery cold air slowly emerged from the mouth of the bottle. The dreamy and beautiful scene was breathtaking.

Chen Yun let out a low shout and raised his hand to cast a green spell.

The light curtain trembled slightly after absorbing this magic formula, and turned into a fist-sized fireball again, wrapping the cold air tightly inside and sealing it out.

Then, Chen Yun raised his hand to put the lid of the bottle back on, and with his other hand he made a move towards the purple flame fireball.

The fireball flashed and immediately shot towards Chen Yun.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he swallowed the purple fireball along with the silver cold air into his stomach.

Then he sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, in Chen Yun’s Dantian, the two-inch-sized Nascent Soul also opened its eyes, with unusual clarity.

In front of the purple fireball, a silver light ball kept flickering.

Yuanying gently made a hand gesture, surrounded by green light, and magical formulas flowed out from his hands.

With a roar, the purple fireball suddenly burned, and the silver light inside turned into flames, interweaving with the purple flames.

Chen Yun's real body had no expression on his face, he was in complete concentration, and remained motionless and quiet.

Chen Yun practiced in seclusion for a day. Although the master of the Taoist temple was a mortal, he knew about cultivating immortals. He vaguely guessed Chen Yun's identity and did not disturb him.

After Chen Yun opened his eyes, he looked disappointed.

He tried to use the Purple Luo Extreme Fire to fuse the cold air in the cold marrow, but failed. He decided to use the cold marrow as material to re-refine the Snow Crystal Bead.

He spat out a crystal round bead that floated in front of him, then he took out a small bottle containing cold marrow, flicked the bottle cap lightly and it opened, then he slapped the bottom of the bottle, and a drop of silver liquid flew out and merged into the round bead.

Afterwards, Chen Yun formed seals with his hands and spewed out green infant fire from his mouth, which wrapped around the round beads and quickly burned them.

Chen Yun stared at the snow crystal bead in the flames, thinking to himself that it would not take too much time to refine the bead again, and it could be completed before the grand auction.

Afterwards, he used his spiritual power to control the wisp of infant fire and began to condense the treasure before him.

At the same time, in a corner of the imperial city in the north of Jinjing, in a magnificent mansion, a young man in a thin blue shirt was admiring exotic flowers and plants in a stone pavilion.

This young man was none other than Chen Yun’s fellow student. He looked 70% similar to Chen Yun, but his eyes were cold and ruthless.

Suddenly, the man's expression changed, he turned around and revealed his true face.

At this moment, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the garden not far away, and an old man in a black hat and brocade robe appeared in sight.

When he raised his head, he met the young man's cold eyes. He couldn't help but shudder and was shocked.

Fortunately, the young man's cold eyes disappeared, and he became ordinary, and said calmly: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Fellow Daoist Yun Yi. Fellow Daoist, are you here to look for Chen?"

"Elder Chen, recently our spies stationed in several markets have sent us a message that may interest you."

The old man in the black hat laughed dryly and stepped forward.

"News? I never ask about worldly affairs, nor do I participate in specific matters. If there is anything that requires my help, just ask Elder Ye to pass on the message."

The young man had an indifferent look on his face, staring at the flowers and trees in front of him, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Haha, if it was an ordinary matter, I would not disturb Brother Chen's meditation. However, this news is closely related to you."

The old man ignored the other party's cold attitude and said meaningfully.

"It's related to me? Did you find that person?"

The young man was slightly startled, then narrowed his eyes and his face darkened. "That's right. According to reports, some monks from Guiluo Sect have been frequently appearing in the capital market recently, secretly looking for someone."

"The portrait they hold is extremely similar to the person you described. But Elder Chen needs to confirm it himself."

The old man in the black hat raised his hand and waved it, and a white jade slip flew out from his sleeve.

The young man in green stretched out his hand and sucked the jade slip into his hand. His spiritual consciousness immediately sank into it to examine it carefully.

"Yes, it's him."

He asked calmly, "Is there any news about why the people from Yinluo Sect are looking for him?"

"No news has been released yet. However, all the Nascent Soul-level elders of Yinluo Sect in the capital suddenly gathered together. I wonder if it has anything to do with this person."

"Elder Chen, you once said that this cultivator with the same name as you is your great enemy, and asked the clan to help you find this person."

"Therefore, the Second Elder has decided to hand this matter over to you. No matter what means Elder Chen uses to deal with this person, as long as it does not interfere with the smooth progress of the grand auction."

"After all, the Ye family has several things that they must obtain at this auction, and Elder Ye doesn't want any accidents to happen."

The old man said calmly.

"Humph, as long as I have accurate information about this person, I will make him disappear from this world."

"But I wonder how many magic weapons the clan has helped me collect? I have certain conditions for joining the royal family and being used by the Ye family."

Elder Chen snorted coldly.

In a secret place, the old man with the black cap calmly said:
"Brother Chen, don't worry. As for the matter of the magic weapon, we have already sent people to various places to explore its whereabouts."

"Haven't I helped you find one of them before? But it may take some time to get all the other magic weapons."

Elder Chen heard this, pursed his lips slightly, his eyes flashed with coldness, and said firmly:
"I have served the Ye family for twenty years. As agreed, at the end of the twenty years, the magic weapons promised must be handed over intact to me. There must be no mistakes in this matter."

"Brother Chen, rest assured. Since the Ye family has made a promise, they will definitely not break their promise to Elder Chen."

"Now Elder Chen, you may as well take a good rest. Once I get the exact information about the key person, I will inform my friends as soon as possible."

The old man in the black hat had a half-smile on his face. After bowing, he slowly said goodbye and left.

The young man standing by couldn't help but sneer as he watched the old man's figure gradually walk away until he disappeared from the garden gate.

Then, as if remembering something important, the young man shook his sleeves lightly, and a small sword shining with golden light suddenly appeared in his hand.

I saw that the small sword was wrapped in several mysterious black threads, but the small sword was still very agile, constantly struggling and jumping, as if trying to break free from the restraints.

And those mysterious black threads were made of unknown substance. Although the golden sword tried its best to break free, it was still firmly stuck to the black threads and bound it tightly, making it unable to break free at all.

The young man frowned, opened his mouth suddenly, and spurted out a mouthful of black blood, splashing all over the golden sword.

The golden sword suddenly let out a mournful cry, and its spiritual light dimmed, but it still hummed in defiance.

"What a hassle. The spirit of this flying sword from the human world is so difficult to remove. If this sword wasn't made from golden thunder bamboo, why would we have to go to so much trouble to do this?"

The young man muttered to himself, with an expression of impatience on his face.

"However, since your master has arrived in Jinjing, this is a rare opportunity."

"As long as we kill him, not only can we avenge the killing of the main soul, but the flying sword will also become ownerless, and it will be easy to subdue it."

As the young man spoke, a murderous look appeared on his face, and black and purple lights faintly appeared in the depths of his pupils. He instantly became weird and ghostly.

At the same time, in the attic in a secluded corner of the mansion, two men and one woman were sitting around a round table talking.

In a quiet place, an old man wearing a black crown was walking slowly.

He had just returned from where the young man was, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a dignified face and a jade belt around his waist.

Not far away, a beautiful woman was standing quietly. She was the one who had appeared in the Huangqing Taoist Temple in the past.

At this moment, she looked solemn and listened attentively to the old man in the black hat describing his conversation with the young man.

"So, Elder Chen agreed without hesitation."

After listening to the old man's narration, the square-faced middle-aged man frowned slightly and spoke thoughtfully.

"exactly."

The old man in black hat nodded and continued, "Moreover, when Elder Chen heard the news about this person with the same name."

"Although he didn't seem overly excited on the surface, the murderous intent in his eyes was real."

"From this, it can be seen that what he said about having a deep hatred with that person must be true."

The complexity of the matter is far more than that. The beautiful woman suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked a worrying question:

"But not only do these two have the same name, they also look strikingly similar."

"And that 'Chen Yun' quietly sneaked into the Huangqing Temple where our Ye family monks live not long ago. What is his purpose?"

"Could he be targeting our Ye family? What's even more disturbing is that he is now being secretly tracked down by the cultivators of the Yinluo Sect so solemnly."

“This always makes me feel a little uneasy.”

In complex situations, we will inevitably face some unknown situations.

However, as for Elder Chen’s true identity, as long as he can fully assist the Ye family in completing important matters, we don’t need to delve too much into the secrets behind it.

Elder Chen not only has profound cultivation, but also knows a lot about ancient secrets, which will be an important help in our future actions.

Therefore, before that, we must do our best to win him over.

We also need to be wary of another person with the same name as Elder Chen.

The Yinluo Sect attaches so much importance to this person, there must be something special about him.

Since we cannot be sure whether this person poses a threat to our Ye family, if there is a chance, we should send someone to assist Elder Chen in dealing with this person as soon as possible.

What the Second Elder said was absolutely true, but Elder Chen's behavior was also suspicious.

He always asks us to collect harmful magical tools for him, which makes it difficult to understand his true intentions.

Therefore, we should also remain vigilant towards Elder Chen.

"I know what I am doing. I will never trust any outsiders except the core elders of the Ye family, and I will not reveal our real plan to them. Brother Yun Yi, don't worry."

"This auction is extremely important, and we must ensure that the items we bid on are not discovered by other forces to be ours."

"Otherwise, they might sabotage us or infer our plans from these items."

"This situation must not be allowed to happen. Therefore, you must arrange this matter properly and there must not be any mistakes."

"If you miss this auction, you won't be able to gather the necessary materials to refine those magic tools, and your treasure hunt in a few years will be hindered." The square-faced old man solemnly instructed. (End of this chapter)
