Thunder suddenly roared, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and in an instant, heavy rain poured down.

The surrounding miasma was dispersed by the heavy rain and quickly gathered to several feet above the ground.

The mountains in the distance were looming in the heavy rain, and their outlines gradually emerged.

A flash of light appeared around Chen Yun, and then he landed on a huge rock on the top of the mountain. Surrounded by the spiritual light, his clothes were not wetted by the rain.

However, not far away, seven or eight cultivators were gathering together, two of whom had entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the rest were in the Qi Refining Stage.

These monks were dressed in local costumes and had scarves on their heads. When they saw Chen Yun suddenly appear on the top of the mountain, they were all surprised and looked at each other.

Chen Yun glanced at everyone, and suddenly an astonishing aura emanated from his body. He waved his sleeves and said coldly:

"Leave quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, a strong wind blew up, and a misty green light emerged.

Several monks were horrified and cast spells to resist.

Some cast out protective shields, while others controlled magical weapons and flew into the air.

But wherever the glow passed, no one was spared and all were swept up in it.

Afterwards, they were thrown twenty or thirty feet away like kites with broken strings and fell to the ground, looking disheveled and terrified.

When everyone realized that the other party was a high-level monk, they panicked and fled down the mountain.

After the two Foundation Establishment cultivators spied on Chen Yun's cultivation, their faces turned pale and they quickly flew away on their flying vehicles, not daring to stay for even a moment.

Chen Yun watched everyone disappear at the top of the mountain with a calm expression, looking up at the sky.

At this time, in the dark cloudy sky, electric snakes were flying and thunder was roaring!
The frustration that had accumulated in Chen Yun's heart due to the death of Lord Dayan seemed to be relieved after he was scolded.

He was about to cast a spell to absorb the thunder from the sky, but in order to avoid interference from other monks, he decided to perform the ritual alone.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Yun took out several magic flags of different colors from his storage bag. With a wave of his hand, these magic flags instantly flew in all directions and quickly sank into the ground and disappeared.

Looking up at the flashing lightning in the sky, the corner of Chen Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and then his whole body flashed with spiritual light, and his figure slowly rose to a height of more than thirty feet above the ground.

He clasped his hands together, forming a strange hand seal, and muttered something in a low voice.

As the incantation continued, lights of various colors began to flicker below.

Immediately afterwards, a few muffled "puff" sounds were heard, and several beams of light shot up into the sky from the ground, transforming into several huge banners as thick as bowls, standing firmly on the ground, motionless.

Chen Yun continued to chant the spell, and the flags below released traces of spiritual energy as he chanted the spell, gradually forming a spirit gathering magic circle with a diameter of more than ten feet.

In the magic circle, various runes are rolling continuously, and the entire magic circle is in an activated state, ready to welcome the coming thunder.

The moment the magic circle appeared, the lightning that was originally out of reach in the sky seemed to be pulled by some force.

Its frequency gradually increased, and it quickly approached where Chen Yun was in a flash.

Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, paused the incantation in his mouth, and then gently flipped his palm, and a several-inch-high long-necked jade bottle appeared in his hand.

This jade bottle is a magic weapon carefully refined by Chen Yun to collect heavenly thunder.

He gently threw the jade bottle into the air and at the same time cast a green spell, hitting the bottle.

After flipping several times in the air, the jade bottle finally stood still with the mouth of the bottle facing upwards.

Then, Chen Yun rubbed his hands quickly, and then raised them upwards. Two thick golden rays of light shot out from his hands and hit the bottom of the jade bottle at the same time.

Accompanied by a thunder, a strange scene appeared.

The jade bottle trembled slightly, and the two golden lights instantly sank into the bottle and disappeared. Then, Chen Yun shouted in a low voice and pointed his finger into the air.

With a "puff" sound, a golden light shot out from the mouth of the jade bottle, turning into an electric spear several feet long, flickering above the jade bottle, pointing straight to the dark clouded sky.

At this moment, a silver arc of electricity suddenly fell from the sky and hit the golden electric spear accurately.

The golden electric spear trembled slightly, and the silver electric arc went down and sank into the jade bottle in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

In a mysterious magic circle, arcs of electricity were attracted and then easily collected into the jade bottle by the evil-repelling divine thunder.

An hour later, when the last thick arc of electricity was collected into the jade bottle, the bottle began to emit a tsunami-like roar.

When Chen Yun heard this, he was delighted and raised his hand to grab the air. The golden electric spear fell off by itself, and the jade bottle fell from the air and was caught steadily by him.

He waved his sleeves and threw another similar bottle into the air. The golden spear was inserted again, continuing to collect heavenly thunder into the bottle.

Only then did he have the chance to take a closer look at the bottle in his hand.

The bottle was seen trembling with a low sound, and a dazzling silver light was flashing at the mouth of the bottle, as if it would burst out at any time.

Chen Yun quickly pasted a golden talisman on it, and the sound in the bottle stopped instantly, and the silver light also dimmed.

He capped the bottle tightly and put it carefully into the storage bag.

Then, he continued to look up at the sky. After half a day, he had collected four bottles of thunder, but the thunderstorm in the sky did not weaken. Instead, it became yellow and seemed to be getting more intense.

Chen Yun was concentrating on collecting a bottle of rare items floating in the air.

This bottle contains powerful lightning power, which is enough to be transformed into thunder and fire, providing a steady supply of energy for refining spiritual materials.

Just as he was about to complete this important step, there was a sudden flash of light in the distant sky, and a white rainbow broke through the clouds and flew towards him rapidly.

Chen Yun's heart trembled, and he immediately turned his attention to the strange light.

As the light gradually approached, Chen Yun saw the identity of the visitor clearly - a woman dressed in gorgeous palace dress.

She has a petite figure, a pretty face and eyes as bright as stars, as if she is in her youth.

However, what was even more eye-catching was that there was a faint milky white chill surrounding her, making her look otherworldly, like a fairy walking out of a wonderland.

Chen Yun discovered through his spiritual sense that this woman was also a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and her strength was comparable to his.

The spirit gathering formation below emitted a dazzling light, and Chen Yun's entire body was covered in a layer of light blue light, floating in the air. The surrounding space was intertwined with electric lights, forming a spectacular scene.

Such a scene undoubtedly attracted the attention of the woman in palace dress.

She adjusted her direction and rushed towards where Chen Yun was. When she was about thirty feet away from Chen Yun, she stopped and revealed her true form.

The two of them just stood there in silence, and there seemed to be an unspoken understanding and vigilance between them. The palace-dressed woman's eyes turned slightly to Chen Yun, and the corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing a touching smile.

She said softly:
"I am Bai Yaoyi from Beiming Island. Are you here at the invitation of Daoist Fellow Fu?"

The sound is like the singing of an oriole, sweet, soft and very pleasant to the ear.

Chen Yun was startled when he heard this. He was slightly startled and asked in surprise:
"Beiming Island? Fellow Daoist Bai, could it be that you are a cultivator from Beiye Xiaoji Palace?"

Bai Yaoyi chuckled, like a spring flower blooming, revealing an elegant smile, and said:
"I am the external affairs elder of Xiaoji Palace. Our palace is located in a remote place, and I never thought that you would know about our sect. May I know your name?"

Chen Yun bowed slightly and replied respectfully:

"My surname is Chen, and I am just an overseas cultivator. I am indeed here because of an invitation from Daoist Fellow Fu. I have heard of the name of Xiaoji Palace a long time ago, and it is well-known to me."

After saying this, his demeanor gradually returned to calm.

Bai Yaoyi's eyes flickered, and after nodding slightly, she asked with a hint of curiosity:
"Fellow Daoist Chen is a cultivator from overseas! Do you know the three overseas immortals? Do you have any connection with these three fellow Daoists?"

Chen Yun shook his head without hesitation and answered firmly:
"I have never met him. I rarely interact with other cultivators. Most of the time I am practicing on the island."

Bai Yaoyi nodded slightly, as if she understood something, and bowed slightly:

"I see. I am sorry for being so presumptuous. I see that you are collecting the heavenly thunder. Do you need Yaoyi's help?"

Chen Yun immediately bowed his hands in thanks and said earnestly:

"Thank you for your kindness. However, I have almost harvested all the fruits. This is the last bottle."

Bai Yaoyi smiled slightly and said, "In that case, I will meditate on the top of the mountain for a while."

After hearing what Chen Yun said, Bai Yaoyi did not show any reluctance.

I saw her escaping light circling lightly, then rushing towards another huge rock on the top of the mountain, and then landing steadily.

As soon as she appeared on the ground, Bai Yaoyi raised her hand and released an umbrella-shaped spiritual weapon, which flew high into the sky.

In an instant, the spiritual weapon rotated slightly in the sky, and then released a large amount of misty white light, blocking out the wind and rain within a radius of dozens of feet.

After everything was arranged, the woman sat cross-legged calmly.

Then, a cold light flashed on her hand, and a palm-sized object suddenly appeared in her hand.

Chen Yun had sharp eyes and saw clearly at a glance that it was a piece of white jade as glittering as snow. This piece of white jade was gleaming with cold light and was crystal clear, which was very different from ordinary jade.

"Ice jade."

Chen Yun's heart moved, and he recognized this rare material instantly. He once got a bottle of cold marrow by chance, and this precious cold marrow was produced from the ten thousand year old ice jade.

At this time, Bai Yaoyi, a woman in palace dress, had placed the ice jade flat on her hands. She then closed her beautiful eyes and began to meditate.

From this situation, it is not difficult to see that this woman's skills are not pure ice-attribute skills, but should be cold-yin skills. Otherwise, she would not need to rely on the cold power of ice jade to practice skills.

This is similar to the effect of Chen Yun taking Xuepo Pills.

However, even though this ice jade is of high quality, it is far from comparable to the amazing effectiveness of Xuepo Pills.

Chen Yun remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he was a little more wary of this woman.

Beiye Xiaoji Palace would rather fight with high-level monsters every few generations than hand over the cold marrow, which shows the importance of this item.

If this woman knew that she was carrying the palace's treasure, it would surely cause a huge uproar.

Chen Yun retracted his gaze and stared at the small bottle in the air expressionlessly.

Soon after, the fifth small bottle was also filled with the power of heavenly thunder. Chen Yun immediately put away the magic weapon and slowly descended to the center of the spirit gathering formation.

He chanted a few spells and activated the surrounding magic flags. Immediately, the magic circle was activated, forming a layer of green light curtain that surrounded itself.

Chen Yun sat down in the magic circle, facing the woman in palace dress from a distance, closing his eyes and resting. Facing this woman, he naturally would not refine spiritual materials.

As the heavy rain continued for a whole day and night before gradually stopping, the scorching sun rose again, and the air became humid and hot. Miasma slowly rose from the ground and enveloped the entire mountain range again.

All kinds of insects and ants emerged from their nests again. Chen Yun was calm and slowly released his spiritual sense to sense everything within a radius of dozens of miles.

Whether it was the fight between insects and ants, or the falling of flowers and fruits, they were all clearly transmitted to his sea of ​​consciousness.

He was like an old monk in meditation, motionless. Occasionally, low-level cultivators would mistakenly enter this mountain, and when they saw the amazing cultivation of Chen Yun and Bai Yaoyi, their faces changed drastically, and they would cover their heads and run away, not daring to stay for a moment.

So Chen Yun and the woman in palace dress sat in meditation for three days and three nights.

On the morning of the fourth day, another high-ranking monk arrived at the main peak. He was a towering man with an ugly appearance and a shiny black body.

No one knew what kind of skill this person was practicing, but he was riding on a giant green turtle and coming here on an evil wind.

When the big man saw Chen Yun and Bai Yaoyi, he laughed loudly, then found another place to sit on the top of the mountain.

He did not close his eyes to rest, but took out a golden book from his arms and began to flip through it with his head shaking.

Chen Yun and Bai Yaoyi sat quietly in a corner, ignoring the nerdy-looking man in front of them.

However, Chen Yun frowned secretly in his heart, realizing that this big man was also a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and his appearance was obviously unusual.

He speculated that the old man surnamed Fu must have had a deep meaning in summoning them here, and that this matter seemed to be limited to the participation of high-level cultivators, and it would probably be difficult for early-stage cultivators to get involved.

Since the arrival of the big man, no other monks have visited in the short term. The three of them went about their own business and did not take the initiative to talk.

After about half a month, most of the miasma had dissipated. At this moment, two rays of light suddenly appeared in the sky, like a startled glimpse, and rushed straight towards the mountain.

After circling above the three people's heads for a circle, the escape light landed accurately in the center of them, and a man and a woman walked out from them.

The man was an old man surnamed Fu from the Jiuyou Sect, while the woman was a beautiful lady dressed in black, with a cold and intimidating look between her brows.

"It is a great honor for me that all three of you Taoist friends can come as promised. I was worried that some of you would not be able to come, but now it seems that I was worrying too much." The old man surnamed Fu glanced at Chen Yun and the other three and said with a happy expression.

The beautiful woman in black beside him remained cold and silent.

"Although I am here, if what Brother Fu is discussing does not arouse my interest, I will leave immediately. I am at a critical juncture of breaking through the bottleneck, how can I have the leisure to waste time on unimportant matters." The big man sneered and said bluntly.

The old man surnamed Fu was talking to fellow Taoists. He introduced Chen Yun and others present to everyone, and first mentioned that fellow Taoists Chen Yun and Bai Yaoyi had already met, in order to dispel any doubts that everyone might have.

Then, the old man surnamed Fu began to introduce everyone to each other. He pointed to Chang Zhifang beside him and said, "This is my junior sister Chang Zhifang, the elder of the inner hall of Jiuyou Sect." Then he looked at the big man surnamed Yuan and introduced him, "Brother Yuan is the landlord of this place and was born in the Southern Border Poison Saint Sect. I hope you can use your help this time." (End of this chapter)
