Starting from iron smelting

Lu Xiuyuan nodded gratefully, his heart filled with gratitude towards his master and Senior Sister Qingying. He was determined to cherish this rare opportunity, practice hard, and live up to everyone's expectations.

Senior Sister Qingying left a few words and then left, leaving Lu Xiuyuan alone in this quiet and mysterious room to meditate and practice. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to practice with full concentration. In this quiet environment, he felt the tranquility of his body and mind, and gradually integrated into the realm of practice.

The honey lotus fragrance gently drifted in the room, and there seemed to be a mysterious power that quietly penetrated into the depths of Lu Xiuyuan's soul. Lu Xiuyuan felt a warm breath flowing around his body, as if an invisible hand was gently touching his body and guiding the flow of his spiritual energy.

This fragrance made Lu Xiuyuan's mood extremely peaceful. He seemed to be in a quiet lotus pond, surrounded by the subtle lotus fragrance. His mind was immersed in it, and he felt a deep serenity and calmness.

Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but close his eyes, relax his whole body, and concentrate on feeling the baptism of the honey lotus fragrance. As the fragrance lingered, he felt his body become unusually comfortable, as if every cell was beating happily.

Suddenly, a warm energy surged into his meridians, gently passing through them, driving the flow of his spiritual energy. Lu Xiuyuan felt as if his body and soul were being pulled by an invisible force, moving towards the direction of cultivation.

His heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the legendary honey lotus fragrance. It is said that this fragrance can calm the mind and soul of the practitioner, and help improve the practice. Now, he personally experienced this magical fragrance, and couldn't help but feel awe and emotion.

The quiet and rich fragrance of the honey lotus made him immersed in it, forgetting all the distractions of the outside world. He felt that his body and soul were gradually merging under the guidance of this fragrance, reaching an unprecedented state.

Lu Xiuyuan was filled with gratitude. He knew the preciousness and magic of the honey lotus fragrance, as well as its importance to practitioners. On his path of practice, the support and care of his master were crucial.

Lu Xiuyuan was grateful for the master's thoughtfulness. Although he was an outsourced disciple, the master was very generous to him. Whether it was the black scale meat or the honey lotus fragrance given to him, the master was generous. This generosity made Lu Xiuyuan feel warm and strengthened his trust and respect for the master.

Although the master usually gives him relatively little guidance and care, Lu Xiuyuan does not mind. He understands that the master may have many things to deal with. On the path of cultivation, everyone has their own duties and tasks, and the master undoubtedly has more responsibilities and responsibilities.

Lu Xiuyuan knows that the master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you. Even if the master cannot be with him all the time, the teachings and support he has given are enough for Lu Xiuyuan to benefit from for the rest of his life. He is determined to cherish every bit of care from the master, practice hard, and live up to the master's expectations.

Bathed in the honey lotus fragrance, Lu Xiuyuan felt physically and mentally happy. He realized that this was not only a fragrance, but also a spiritual baptism. He took a deep breath of the fragrance, letting it fill his body, to motivate himself to practice harder and pursue a higher level of cultivation.

The night passed quickly, and as the dawn began to appear, Lu Xiuyuan anxiously waited for his master Xuanjizi's call. He was restless, his heart full of anticipation and anxiety.

The sky gradually brightened, ushering in a new day. Lu Xiuyuan got ready early to receive the master's instructions. In his heart, the master's call meant a mission and responsibility, and he looked forward to contributing his strength to the sect.

Soon, Senior Sister Qingying came to Lu Xiuyuan's residence and told him with a smile: "Master asked you to go there." These short words made Lu Xiuyuan's heart tremble, and he immediately realized that this mission might be unusual.

Senior Sister Qingying did not reveal more details, but Lu Xiuyuan knew that the master must have something important to tell him. He quickly sorted out his thoughts and prepared to go to the master with awe, obey his instructions, and complete the task he assigned.

Passing through the quiet courtyard, Lu Xiuyuan walked towards his master's residence. The scenery along the way seemed particularly peaceful and tranquil in the morning sun, but Lu Xiuyuan's heart was full of excitement and nervousness. He didn't know what the mission was, but he knew the importance of the sect, and he always did his best to complete his master's call.

Arriving at the master's residence, Lu Xiuyuan knocked on the door gently. After a while, the door opened and he saw the master Xuanjizi's deep eyes, which revealed a hint of mystery and wisdom.

"Lu Xiuyuan, I'm here." The master smiled gently and invited Lu Xiuyuan into the room. Lu Xiuyuan's heart was full of anticipation and awe. He knew that the task that the master was about to assign must be an important matter for the sect, and he would do his best to complete it and live up to the master's expectations.

Xuanjizi greeted Lu Xiuyuan warmly, his eyes revealing concern and attention. After sitting down, Xuanjizi first asked Lu Xiuyuan about his rest last night, his voice was gentle and full of care: "Lu Xiuyuan, how did you rest last night?" This question made Lu Xiuyuan feel warm. He knew the master's concern, so he smiled and replied: "Master, I rested well last night, and I woke up refreshed."

Xuanjizi then asked Lu Xiuyuan about his recent cultivation with concern: "How is your cultivation recently? Have you encountered any difficulties?" These questions made Lu Xiuyuan feel the master's concern and support for him. He answered sincerely: "Master, my cultivation has progressed smoothly recently. Although I have encountered some difficulties, I have been working hard to overcome them and dare not slack off."

Under Xuanjizi's care and encouragement, Lu Xiuyuan felt warm and firm. He knew that his master was his guide and the guiding light on his path of practice. When he encountered difficulties, his master was always by his side to support and encourage him.

"The road ahead is long, and you will inevitably encounter various difficulties on the road of cultivation, but as long as you have firm faith and perseverance, you will be able to overcome them." Xuanjizi's voice was warm and encouraging, "I believe you will be able to make further progress."

After listening to his master's words, Lu Xiuyuan was filled with gratitude. He knew that with his master's guidance and support, he would be able to go further and further on the path of cultivation, constantly break through himself, and reach a higher level.

"Master, I will definitely cherish this opportunity, practice hard, and live up to your expectations." Lu Xiuyuan solemnly expressed his determination and commitment to Xuanjizi.

Xuanjizi smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Lu Xiuyuan, I believe you." This short sentence seemed to be a shot of adrenaline, making Lu Xiuyuan feel extremely excited and determined. Xuanjizi continued to talk about Beiya Cave that he had talked about last night.

Lu Xiuyuan was attracted by Xuanjizi's topic, and he answered honestly: "Master, I have only heard of the name Beiya Cave, but I don't know what it is exactly." He was a little confused because the master had never mentioned this place before, so he didn't know much about it.

Xuanjizi smiled slightly and nodded, as if he had already anticipated Lu Xiuyuan's answer. "Beiya Cave is an important secret place in our sect. It has been silent for five hundred years and is about to be reopened." Xuanjizi's tone revealed a hint of mystery and excitement. "This opening will affect the future development of the sect, so every disciple in the sect needs to fully cooperate."

After listening to Xuanjizi's explanation, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little curious and expectant. He realized that the opening of Beiya Cave was a major event for the sect, and as a member of the sect, he also had the responsibility and obligation to participate in it.

"Master, what do we need to do?" Lu Xiuyuan asked respectfully. He hoped to make his own contribution to the cause of the sect. Although he knew nothing about Beiya Cave, he was willing to follow the master's arrangements and do his best to complete the task.

Xuanjizi's voice echoed in the room, and his eyes seemed to travel through the tunnel of time, tracing back to the glorious days of ancient times. He began to explain the origin of Beiya Cave and the endless treasures it contained.

"Beiya Cave is a mysterious place in our sect." Xuanjizi's tone was solemn and mysterious. "In ancient times, a great cultivator once left a secret place here to pass on his cultivation experience and treasures."

Lu Xiuyuan's heartbeat quickened. He listened attentively and could almost feel the mysterious energy contained in Xuanjizi's words.

"Inside the Beiya Cave, there are countless precious items such as natural treasures, cultivation techniques, cultivation magic tools, ancient elixirs, etc." Xuanjizi continued to explain, "These treasures are not only of great help to the cultivation of practitioners, but also can enhance the strength of practitioners and improve their cultivation."

Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel yearning. He imagined that the secret land full of treasures was like a dreamlike fairyland that made people yearn for it infinitely.

"Those who enter Beiya Cave are often very lucky and gain unexpected opportunities and rewards." Xuanjizi's voice revealed a hint of admiration, "But at the same time, it is also accompanied by huge challenges and dangers."

Lu Xiuyuan was puzzled, and he couldn't help but think. Why did such an important task fall on the head of an outsourced disciple like him? Although his cultivation had improved rapidly, his status within the sect was still relatively low, and he didn't know much about the important tasks of the Juling Sect. However, Xuanjizi's voice once again broke his thoughts, and his heart was shocked.

"We established the Juling Sect in the northern border, firstly to resist the invasion of the demon race, and secondly to protect the secret realm of Beiya Cave and prevent it from falling into the hands of foreign races." Xuanjizi's tone was solemn and firm.

Lu Xiuyuan was moved when he heard this. He began to understand that the Juling Sect was not only a place for cultivation, but also the guardian of the northern border, guarding the safety and future of the human race. And Beiya Cave was the sect's treasure and the foundation of the Juling Sect.

Xuanjizi's voice was deep and serious, revealing a solemn atmosphere. His eyes flashed with wisdom and deep thought, which made Lu Xiuyuan feel awed.

"The reason why I let you know this is that you are my disciple, an outsourced disciple of the Juling Sect, and you have reason to know some sect matters." Xuanjizi's voice was like a breeze, gently rippling in the room, making people feel peaceful. "On the other hand, the secret realm of Beiya Cave has been banned by a powerful person and it will only be opened once every five hundred years."

Lu Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard Xuanjizi's words. It turned out that the opening of Beiya Cave was so rare, and the treasures contained in it were even more exciting. He couldn't help but imagine that mysterious secret realm, the natural treasures, cultivation methods, cultivation magic weapons, and ancient elixirs there. These treasures are invaluable wealth and opportunities for practitioners.

“Only cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage can enter. Cultivators of other levels will be reduced to ashes if they enter.” Xuanjizi said seriously.

Xuanjizi's words echoed in the room, casting a layer of silence over the entire space. Lu Xiuyuan understood Xuanjizi's concern and worry for him, but at the same time he also realized the responsibility and mission he had undertaken.

"So you are the only one in our sect who can enter the secret realm of Beiya Cave. Qingying cannot go." Xuanjizi's tone revealed a hint of helplessness, "But I don't want you to go. It's too dangerous here. You can't control yourself."

Lu Xiuyuan was silent for a moment. He understood Xuanjizi's worries, and also understood his own strength and responsibility. He knew the importance of the Beiya Cave Secret Realm, and that as a member of the sect, he must take on the responsibility of exploring and protecting it.

"I understand, Master." Lu Xiuyuan's voice was firm and resolute. "The mission of Beiya Cave is a rare opportunity for me, and also a test of my own strength. I will act cautiously and live up to your expectations."

Xuanjizi nodded slightly. He knew that Lu Xiuyuan was ready and understood that he could not stop him from moving forward. He gave Lu Xiuyuan some time to think about it, hoping that he could weigh the pros and cons and make the right choice.

Lu Xiuyuan left Xuanjizi's room, his mind full of thoughts. He knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but he also knew his responsibilities and mission. He was determined to move forward firmly, fearless of difficulties and dangers, and move forward courageously.

In the quiet side room, Lu Xiuyuan sat quietly, thinking about a lot of things. He began to think carefully, weigh the pros and cons, and prepare for the upcoming challenges and tests. He knew that this was an opportunity and a test of his strength and courage, and he had to make the right choice.

While Lu Xiuyuan was thinking hard and weighing the pros and cons, an uninvited guest appeared. This uninvited guest was none other than the sect elder Xuan Huanzi. Lu Xiuyuan was shocked. He clearly remembered that Xuan Huanzi was the person who made him feel pressured. He had ordered the people in the Spiritual Medicine Garden to attack him, and he also knew the secret of his Huanglong Wood. This person was not a good person, and it was definitely not a good thing for him to appear at this time and place.
