Starting from iron smelting

Xuan Miaozi smiled slightly, feeling gratified by the courage and determination of his disciples. "I believe in you and your abilities," he encouraged them. "Remember, if we unite as one and help each other, we will surely be able to overcome all difficulties."

Afterwards, Xuan Miaozi walked to the entrance of Beiya Cave and stared at the vague air restriction. He took a deep breath, exerted force with both hands, and released two blue lights.

The blue light flickered, like two breezes passing through the air, heading straight for the cave entrance barrier. The cave entrance barrier loosened slightly, but still seemed stubborn, as if it was full of defense and resistance to all attacks from the outside world.

Xuan Miaozi frowned slightly, feeling surprised and alert about the defense system of Beiya Cave. This kind of restriction is not only extremely solid, but also exudes a mysterious power that makes it difficult to break through.

He knew very well that in order to enter Beiya Cave, he had to overcome this indestructible restriction, otherwise it would be difficult to move smoothly even if he entered the cave.

Xuan Miaozi concentrated all his strength, clenched his hands, and continued to exert pressure on the restriction at the entrance of the cave, but the restriction remained motionless. A trace of anxiety rose in his heart. He was not satisfied with the current predicament and was anxiously looking for a way to break through.

Suddenly, Xuan Miaozi frowned slightly and uttered a slight "eh". He was somewhat surprised to find that even with all his strength, the ban was still indestructible. This made him start to think about whether there were other ways to overcome this problem.

Xuan Miaozi's eyes swept across the elders behind him, revealing a hint in his eyes. The other elders understood what he meant and stepped forward, ready to help Xuan Miaozi.

"Great Elder, we are here to help you!" An elder stepped forward and boosted everyone's morale.

Other elders also joined in. They surrounded Xuan Miaozi and worked together to exert pressure on the ban with all their strength. Their goal was to break this solid barrier and allow the disciples of the sect to smoothly enter Beiya Cave and meet the upcoming challenge.

As everyone joined in, the restriction at the entrance of the cave seemed to loosen slightly, but it remained motionless. Xuan Miaozi and the other elders had beads of sweat on their foreheads. They knew that in order to break through this restriction, they needed to work harder and persist.

"Push harder!" Xuan Miaozi shouted, his voice full of determination. Together, they exerted constant pressure to try to overcome this seemingly insurmountable obstacle.

Xuan Miaozi stared at the elders of other sects, took a deep breath, and said in a firm tone: "If we don't take action now, when will we? Now we need to work together to break through this obstacle."

When the elders of other sects heard Xuan Miaozi's call, they immediately responded to his call. They stepped forward one after another and surrounded the cave entrance together with the elders of the Juling Sect, exerting pressure together.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the restrictions at the cave entrance began to loosen slightly. Xuan Miaozi felt the support and strength from everyone, and a feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart.

"If we all work together, we will succeed!"

The elders stopped talking, but their eyes revealed determination and resolve. They put all their strength into breaking through the restriction, hoping to break through this obstacle as soon as possible, so that the disciples of the sect can smoothly enter Beiya Cave, find opportunities, and complete their mission.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the scene in front of him, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. He saw that despite the concerted efforts of the elders of the sect, they were still unable to break through the restriction at the entrance of the cave, which made him feel extremely frustrated and desperate.

"Has the sect's power become so weak?" Lu Xiuyuan was sad. He realized that the power of the Juling Sect alone was not enough to open the Beiya Cave, which was a huge challenge and difficulty for the sect.

He felt extremely helpless and lost, his heart filled with sadness and helplessness, and the future of the sect seemed to become bleak.

Lu Xiuyuan felt a strong determination in his heart. He realized that he could only rely on himself to break through the Beiya Cave. Although everyone in the Juling Sect worked together, they were still helpless and could not open the restriction at the entrance of the cave. He understood that the power of the sect had reached its limit, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the status quo.

"Maybe this time, I can only rely on myself." Lu Xiuyuan thought silently in his heart. He realized that in the face of such a predicament, he must do something and can no longer rely on the help of others.

Although he felt extremely lonely and helpless, Lu Xiuyuan did not back down, but instead became more determined to move forward. He knew that he had to face challenges and overcome difficulties in order to achieve a breakthrough and realize his goals.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the restriction at the entrance of Beiya Cave was finally loosened. As the elders exerted their strength, a loud noise and a dazzling light suddenly burst out, like a meteor streaking through the night sky.

The entrance of Beiya Cave slowly opened, revealing the dark and deep interior of the cave. The restriction at the entrance was successfully cracked, and a heavy atmosphere enveloped everyone's heart. They knew that the next challenge would be more difficult, but they were also full of expectations and courage.

Everyone looked into the cave, their eyes revealing a hint of excitement and anticipation.

The elders shouted loudly: "If we don't advance now, when will we advance?" Their voices were like huge waves shaking in the valley. The disciples' hearts tightened and they all straightened their bodies.

The disciples followed the elder's order and filed into the North Cliff Cave. They rushed into the cave entrance, fearing to miss any opportunity. Some people jumped into the cave entrance eagerly, while others turned into a stream of light and quickly passed through the cave entrance.

Among the crowd, Lu Xiuyuan did not rush to act. He maintained a calm and composed attitude, followed the crowd slowly, and slowly entered the North Cliff Cave.

He was not worried about missing any opportunities, because he knew that the real opportunities often did not lie in being the first, but in preparation and patience. He believed that as long as he remained calm and persevered, opportunities would naturally come to him.

The moment Lu Xiuyuan entered the Beiya Cave, he felt as if he had passed through a thin film, and his body seemed to have crossed the barriers of time and space. It felt extremely wonderful.

Everything around him became blurry, as if he was in an illusory world. There was a faint mysterious atmosphere in the air, making him feel as if he was in a dream.

However, this wonderful feeling did not last long, and he soon returned to reality. He looked around and found that he was completely in the North Cliff Cave.

The cave was filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere, and a strange energy was everywhere. He felt this energy, and his heart was filled with curiosity and the desire to explore. Lu Xiuyuan stepped into the Beiya Cave, and a chill hit him. The cave was dark, with only a faint light coming through the cracks on the top of the cave. He looked around and found that the cave walls were covered with moss and the ground was covered with thick dust, which looked very desolate.

With the weak light, Lu Xiuyuan gradually saw the structure of the cave. There were some stalactites hanging high on the top of the cave, in various shapes, flickering with weak light. From time to time, there were gusts of wind coming from the cave, which made people feel gloomy and strange.

Deep in the cave, you can vaguely see some dark passages and forks leading to unknown directions. These passages are full of mystery and unknown, which makes people feel curious and want to explore.

Lu Xiuyuan remembered what his master Xuanjizi said. Beiya Cave is composed of five parts: east, west, south, north and center. Each part corresponds to one of the five elements. The east is wood, the west is gold, the south is fire, the north is water, and the center is earth.

Lu Xiuyuan looked around, carefully feeling the surrounding atmosphere and environment. The cave was damp and dark, with a moist smell in the air and mosses growing on the cave walls, revealing a deep and mysterious atmosphere.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on feeling the spiritual energy around him. As his mind went deeper, he seemed to be able to feel a spiritual energy of water attribute, permeating every corner of the cave. This spiritual energy was fresh and moist, like a spring flowing in the cave, giving people a cool and refreshing feeling.

At the same time, he also noticed the stalactites in the cave, which took on a water drop shape, as if telling the power and charm of water. All this indicated that the spiritual attribute of this place should belong to water.

Lu Xiuyuan recalled the special connection he had with the Yellow Dragon Wood, and suddenly something brightened up in his mind. He realized that the connection between him and the Yellow Dragon Wood was not accidental, but originated from the resonance of the wood attribute.

Recalling how he once merged into the core of the Huanglong wood and felt the rich power of wood, he firmly believed that his soul should also be closely related to the attribute of wood.

Although the environment in this cave is damp and dark, he can feel a breath of leisurely growth, as if it were the gentle breeze in a dense forest. This breath is full of vitality and vigor, which is the concrete manifestation of water giving birth to wood.

Lu Xiuyuan's mood was complicated. He was happy but also a little worried. When we first entered Beiya Cave, everyone was together. Now everyone was scattered. It should be the special mechanism of Beiya Cave that randomly assigned people. I was really lucky to be assigned to Beiya Cave.

Exploring the North Cave alone, although it meant more freedom and opportunities, also brought a sense of loneliness and uneasiness. However, he knew that it was useless to worry now and he had to face the challenges ahead positively.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. The environment of the North Cave was somewhat different from what he had expected. Although it was still damp and dark, there was a strange atmosphere in the air, as if it was filled with mysterious power.

Lu Xiuyuan decided to explore the surroundings first, and he began to move forward along the passage of the cave. As he moved forward, he remained alert at all times, not missing any possible clues. However, the cave seemed to be silent, and there was no other sound except his footsteps.

Gradually, Lu Xiuyuan found that the passage of the cave became wider and wider, and it seemed to be leading to the depths of the cave. He couldn't help but speed up his pace, his heart full of curiosity about the unknown. He wanted to know what kind of secrets and opportunities were hidden in the depths of the North Cave.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a spacious cave space appeared in front of him. The stone walls in this space were smooth, as if they had been polished by humans, and crystal clear stalactites hung on the ceiling, flickering with a faint light. In the center of the space, there was a huge stone platform, on which was placed an ancient and mysterious statue.

Lu Xiuyuan walked in front of the statue and carefully examined every detail of it. The statue was an image of a monk wearing a long robe and holding a magical instrument, with a solemn face, as if he possessed infinite wisdom and power. Lu Xiuyuan could not help but feel respect. He felt that this statue was not simple, and perhaps it would bring him some inspiration and guidance.

As his mind raced, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly felt a faint wave, as if some energy in the cave was constantly surging. He looked closely and found that the eyes of the statue seemed to be flickering slightly, emitting a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

This scene made Lu Xiuyuan feel moved. He felt that this statue might hide some important secrets. Lu Xiuyuan carefully observed the statue to see if he could find some clues.

Lu Xiuyuan took out the luminous stone and shone it towards the statue, hoping to see it more clearly. As the luminous stone shone, the details of the statue gradually emerged, as if a veil was lifted and presented to him.

He found that the surface of the statue was as smooth as jade, the carving craftsmanship was very exquisite, and every line showed the superb skills of the sculptor. The statue's face was solemn and solemn, and its eyes were deep and mysterious, as if they could penetrate the soul and see through everything.

After careful observation, Lu Xiuyuan noticed that the magic weapon in the statue's hand seemed a little unusual. The magic weapon showed an ancient and mysterious symbol, which seemed to be a text related to Taoism, but he could not fully understand it.

He couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to explore the mystery further. So he moved the luminous stone from different angles, trying to find more clues. At this moment, he suddenly noticed a depression on the chest of the statue, which seemed to hide something.

Lu Xiuyuan's mind moved, and he immediately shone the luminous stone towards the depression. As the light shone, he found that there seemed to be an ancient jade pendant, cleverly hidden on the chest of the statue.

He immediately reached out and took the jade pendant off, examining it carefully. The jade pendant was crystal clear, engraved with some ancient symbols and patterns, and exuded a mysterious atmosphere. Lu Xiuyuan felt that this jade pendant was not simple, perhaps it contained some important information or power.

Lu Xiuyuan carefully examined the jade pendant in his hand, and he felt the mysterious energy contained in it. As this energy surged, he suddenly felt peaceful and calm.

He was surprised to find that the effect of this jade pendant was to calm the mind and spirit, and to make the wearer peaceful and improve his cultivation. This was exactly what he needed! On the path of cultivation, inner peace and clarity were crucial, and this jade pendant could help him achieve this goal.
