Fengyunlu

"I hope so." Master Gu Yuan said softly, with a hint of helplessness and a faint expectation in his tone. She did not hold out much hope for the Taiyin Sutra. After all, the Yaochi lineage had been passed down for countless generations, and the Taiyin Sutra had long been missing. Although the ancestors of all generations had made countless efforts and tried various methods, the results were the same, and there was no clue. The only thing that was certain was that the Taiyin Sutra had not fallen into the hands of others, and it was still hidden in some unknown place and had never appeared in the world.

Feng Chen did not speak. He also understood the complexity of the matter. For a young man like him, it might not be so easy to solve. Even though he had an innate spirit, he had not yet fully grown up and was still unable to handle many things.

Master Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, then said to Feng Chen, "I have said enough. What happens next is up to you." After that, she reached out and took out a black brocade handkerchief from her sleeve. The handkerchief was slightly wrapped, with the four corners covering each other. There seemed to be something wrapped inside, bulging.

Feng Chen felt curious. As Master Gu Yuan, she took out such a seemingly ordinary brocade handkerchief at this time. Although there must be something extraordinary hidden in it, this ordinary appearance made him even more curious.

Fairy Ji Yao also raised her head. As the Fairy Lord of Yaochi, there was almost nothing she could not sense. However, the brocade handkerchief in Master Gu Yuan's hand seemed to be able to isolate everything. Even if Ji Yao did not deliberately sense it, her perception was everywhere. Every corner of Yaochi was in her mind, and even Master Gu Yuan was within her sensing range. However, this brocade handkerchief prevented her from spying.

Master Gu Yuan did not wait, but just looked up at the two of them. Seeing that they were curious, he said directly: "What is hidden inside is the key to everything today. The fate of this child depends on his luck."

As he spoke, Master Gu Yuan reached out and uncovered the black brocade handkerchief. The handkerchief slowly opened, and as the things inside gradually came into view, it seemed that something in the Yao Chi fairyland was awakening, and an awe-inspiring aura gradually emanated from the handkerchief.

"This is..." Feng Chen now understood that the things in the brocade handkerchief were some tiny scales. Although they looked small, they were also the size of a thumb. These scales exuded a slight aura and secretly brewed a distant breath, as if they were the product of the primitive era, with a breath of primordial origin.

"Could it be that these scales are the things of the Holy Spirit?" Fairy Ji Yao also thought of the key point and couldn't help but blurt it out.

Master Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. These scales fell from its body, and they are important things that protect its vital points in the soft part of its abdomen."

Fairy Ji Yao's eyes flashed with a flash of realization, and Feng Chen was also secretly amazed in his heart, these scales really belonged to the Qilin. But he still had doubts in his heart, why were these scales not on the Qilin?

Master Gu Yuan saw Feng Chen's confusion at a glance, and then explained: "When my senior sister was dying, she gave me this item, saying that it was extremely important and needed the Yao Chi lineage to protect it at all costs. Therefore, I have always carried it with me. As for why it is so important, I have already said a lot, and I believe you have understood the key."

"In addition, Senior Sister also explained how these scales fell off. According to the sayings passed down by our ancestors, when Grandmaster rescued Qilin, it was already dying and unconscious. Grandmaster felt pity for it and used his great magic power to treat it. He sensed the same aura around it when it was unconscious, a total of more than a dozen, all of which were these scales. So, Grandmaster brought them all back. Later, the Qilin woke up for a while, and I don’t know what he said to Grandmaster, and then he has been sleeping ever since. After Grandmaster examined these scales, he knew that they were the key to Qilin’s life. But because of the special identity of the Qilin lineage and the different way of cultivation, plus it was too weak at the time, he was afraid that forcibly recovering it would hurt its life, so Grandmaster did not take action immediately."

At this point, Master Gu Yuan paused, turned her head and looked at Feng Chen, as if she wanted to talk about something off topic. However, she hesitated for a moment, realized that she was too hesitant, and suppressed those off topic words, and continued: "Later, the ancestor found Baidi, hoping that he could help. After all, Baidi and Yunhuang are mutually integrated, and Yunhuang is also one of the holy spirits, so perhaps there is some special way. But at that time, Baidi had just agreed, and before he had time to ask Yunhuang for help, he encountered a major incident on the way. Later, Baidi hurried back, explained some important things, and took the master with him to an unknown place. Later, the Five Emperors transcended, and this matter has been shelved."

Hearing this, Feng Chen somewhat understood what Master Gu Yuan meant. She was attracted by his identity as an innate spirit, similar to the White Emperor, and he was endowed with the power of the Cloud Phoenix, so he might be able to use these powers temporarily. Now that she took out these scales and said that they were related to fate, she probably hoped that he could come up with some solutions.

Feng Chen felt that he had no choice but to do this, not for any other reason, but for the sake of Fairy Ji Yao. The Yao Chi lineage where Fairy Ji Yao was located had sent someone, and Feng Chen would not refuse if he could do it himself. However, Master Gu Yuan really wanted to help Feng Chen, and as for the scale armor, it was just a side job for him, and success or failure was not particularly important. However, Feng Chen was on this trip to find good fortune, and without the scale armor, the fairy flower transformed by the Qilin would be of no help to him.

In other words, if there is no Qilin's guidance, Fengchen's entry into Yaochi this time will be like thunder power, which will only be soaked by the power of Taiyin, but will not have much effect. After all, most of the source of Taiyin power is used to nourish Qilin and heal injuries, and the remaining few points are enough. But if you want to find some opportunities, like Fengchen, who has cultivated a body of innate spirit and is extremely strong and yang, and attempts to balance yin and yang, you need to temporarily borrow most of the source, which requires mutual borrowing.

With the scales as a bridge of communication, the holder can gain the trust of Qilin. In addition, the means that Emperor Xuan had laid out at the beginning also needed the help of scales to gain recognition and thus call upon the power of Yaochi. This is unavoidable, unless Fairy Ji Yao calls upon it herself. As the Fairy Lord of Yaochi, she has the same bloodline as the origin, so naturally she has no scruples. But even for her, scales are also needed to communicate when used on others. Although Fairy Ji Yao did not know this, it was because Gu Yuan did not tell her before. She only knew that this call needed the help of Gu Yuan, so she ran to the ancient cave to discuss it.

"From what you said, the event that Baidi and the others encountered must have been something earth-shattering, but it was too long ago and we have no way to investigate. If there was anything, we can't worry about it. In this case, I think we should focus on the present first. In other words, this scale armor is used as a communication tool by the seniors. Why don't you give it to me and let me try it out." Feng Chen said as he walked forward, his eyes full of sincerity, looking at Master Gu Yuan, hoping that she could lend him some strength. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to talk about the matter of destiny.

Master Gu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. She hesitated for a moment just now, wanting to say this, but she suddenly remembered that Feng Chen's cultivation was too low, only at the Phoenix Beginning Realm, how could there be any unexpected surprises. In addition, she had already changed the conditions before, even if it was a relative test, with her status, she couldn't easily say it, not to mention facing a young junior.

"I am somewhat relieved that you have this idea, but I don't know how this matter will turn out. There might be danger, and even I may not be able to protect you. This needs to be made clear in advance. After all, no one knows the nature of this Holy Spirit. However, it has received the grace of our ancestors after all. It may not be dangerous after being cured. I don't know about this matter. You have a blood feud, and you can't take risks in many things. You should think about it." Master Gu Yuan advised him to hesitate. Although she herself wanted Feng Chen to give it a try, everything was unpredictable, and she didn't want to let him take risks.

Feng Chen did not hesitate. He was confident that Master Gu Yuan was worried that he would take risks. But Feng Chen felt that as a congenital spirit, he had so much luck on his shoulders, and nothing would happen here. Otherwise, why would he have to survive the disaster? Even his body with broken meridians had been repaired. A mere holy spirit might not be able to wake up, and it might not be a disaster. Thinking in this way, this matter would at most fail, and there would probably be no unforeseen accidents.

Gu Fengchen paused for a moment, then said to Gu Yuan: "Don't worry, senior. I have some feeling that this Holy Spirit Qilin will never harm me. Besides, its previous two wills did not contain any hostility. Even if it fails, I believe it will not complain."

"Well... okay, since you have made up your mind, let's give it a try later. But this matter involves life and death, so let me make some arrangements." After Master Gu Yuan finished speaking, he looked up at Fairy Ji Yao.

Fairy Ji Yao understood at the same time, and raised her hands with Master Gu Yuan, and the two of them automatically turned an unknown seal one after the other. Master Gu Yuan started the ritual first, and the five-colored light flowed through his fingertips. One of his hands was holding the scales, and the other hand was floating with five colors. The two hands came together, and a dazzling light burst out, which made Feng Chen close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, Master Gu Yuan's seal had been removed, and a faint light gradually condensed in his hand. As the light faded, a thumb-sized spirit bead appeared in his palm, its emerald green luster full of vitality, and Master Gu Yuan handed it to Feng Chen with one hand.

"This is something that belongs to me, the Emperor. It is a sacred weapon of the great temple and a thing of merit. You swallow it temporarily. At the critical moment, it can temporarily protect the seven sages in your mansion. With it as a guarantee, I can also react and protect you in the critical moment." After saying that, Master Gu Yuan gently placed the spirit pearl in Feng Chen's palm, and watched him swallow it. Then he nodded with satisfaction, as if he was relieved.

The wind and dust swept in, and the mansion was instantly filled with a cold atmosphere, and Fengchen's soul became unusually clear. He suddenly had a strong feeling in his heart, as if his life and death were hanging by a thread. As long as he made up his mind, he could uncover a mysterious suspense. Although he didn't know where this suspense would lead him, there was a voice in his heart calling him to find out.

Although Fengchen was not good at using treasures, he felt a strong sense of mission this time. Each of these great temple magic weapons had its own characteristics. For example, in Leiming Mountain, Fengchen used this great temple magic weapon as the emperor's treasure to open the Five Emperors' Tomb and started a fierce battle with Mo Wenjian.

There is also the spiritual pearl in the hands of Emperor Taiyao, which is also a treasure that can open the tombs of the Five Emperors and help her survive the crisis. More importantly, this spiritual pearl can give her a chance to be immortal. Emperor Taiyao once experienced a tragedy. Her master and senior sister both died in danger. Especially her master, who didn't even have time to say a word. This made her deeply realize the impermanence of life and the regrets of life and death.

Therefore, when she touched the Emperor's things, she put her own feelings into them, and unconsciously affected the treasure. This great temple magic weapon itself has spirits, and is a mysterious existence from the Emperor's Temple. Everyone has different perceptions of it, and the effects obtained are also different. Feng Chen felt a little regretful, and the spirit pearl seemed to be able to hear his voice, so it gave him two abilities: withdrawing to exchange death and forcing it to stay.

These two abilities can protect him from immediate death when he encounters an unexpected event or a disaster. When the deadline comes, the spirit pearl will keep him on the edge of life and death, and he will not die within three days. If he faces a life-and-death crisis and is on the verge of death, the spirit pearl will exchange with him, bear all the pain, and send him away. It's just that the place to leave is the Five Emperors' Tomb, and whether he can get out depends on luck. But this is also a means to defy the will of heaven, which means that if the Five Emperors of Xuanmen have something to do, they can find a way to get out by themselves. This also gives Fengchen more chances of survival.

On the other side, Fairy Ji Yao arranged everything, and with the help of her identity as the Fairy Lord of Yaochi, she controlled everything in the Fairyland of Yaochi. Whether it was the water, the mist, the fairy flowers, or even the true body of the Qilin, she knew every scale. At this moment in Yaochi, as long as she had a thought, she could change everything. Even when facing Ji Yao, Master Gu Yuan had to temporarily avoid her.

Fairy Ji Yao's purpose was clear. She believed that the Holy Qilin represented the future. Facing Fengchen, a junior, she chose to support him without hesitation. In other words, at the critical moment of life and death, she would not hesitate to kill the Qilin. Although she might not have the ability to do so, as long as she went all out, the Qilin might not be safe and sound. In order to be on the safe side, she still kept some backup plans.

After getting ready, Fairy Ji Yao and Master Gu Yuan nodded to Feng Chen. Master Gu Yuan said, "Now you can try. Remember, if it doesn't work, don't force it. Only by living can you have everything." After that, Master Gu Yuan held up a black brocade handkerchief and more than ten pieces of scale armor, and floated them towards Feng Chen.
