Starting from iron smelting

Wen Lingyue gave Lu Xiuyuan a gentle push and he fell down under the tree. She slowly leaned forward, as gentle as moonlight with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"Mingyue Palace?" Lu Xiuyuan asked casually, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "Where is that?"

Wen Lingyue frowned slightly and explained with a smile: "You don't know anything about Mingyue Palace? You really don't understand these things in the world of immortal cultivation. Our disciples in Mingyue Palace are all female disciples, specializing in the power of moonlight. Exploring the ultimate mystery of the moon is my pursuit. "

Lu Xiuyuan nodded. Although he was a little wary of this woman of unknown origin, he really needed a shelter at the moment.

"Thank you for your help." He bowed slightly to express his gratitude. "My name is Lu Xiuyuan, you can call me Xiuyuan."

Wen Lingyue smiled and nodded, her eyes falling on him gently. "You seem to be injured. Do you need me to heal you?"

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head and refused with a smile: "I only have some flesh wounds, you don't need to worry about it."

Wen Lingyue's heart moved, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure. "In that case, you should rest here for a while." She pointed to the shade of a tree not far away, "I'll go check around for the situation."

Lu Xiuyuan nodded, sitting quietly under the tree, looking around from time to time. Although he still had doubts about Wen Lingyue's origins, he was also somewhat grateful in his heart, after all, she showed up in time and saved his life.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Lingyue quietly returned to his side, with a worried look on her face. "The situation outside is not optimistic. It seems that two forces are fighting fiercely." She said softly, "I suggest that we stay here for the time being and wait until the melee is over before taking action."

Lu Xiuyuan whispered: "Okay, we'll wait here."

Wen Lingyue hummed softly, a hint of vigilance in her eyes, as if she was listening to the movements around her.

The space returned to silence, with only the sound of breeze blowing through leaves.

Lu Xiuyuan broke the silence and asked softly, "Why did you come to Beiya Cave? Who gave you this information?"

Wen Lingyue stared ahead quietly, frowning slightly, as if recalling something. After a moment, she slowly spoke: "About a few months ago, an elder who claimed to be from the Juling Sect came to Mingyue Palace, found our Palace Master, and told her about this matter."

Lu Xiuyuan frowned slightly, feeling uneasy. The name of the Juling Sect reminded him of some discordant factors within the sect in the past, and he began to wonder if someone had betrayed the sect's secrets. "Juling Sect?" Lu Xiuyuan frowned slightly and thought, "Which elder of my sect is it? Could it be the traitor Xuanhuanzi again?" He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, and continued to ask: "What did the elder of the Juling Sect say specifically?"

Wen Lingyue asked, "What's wrong? Why are you asking so carefully?" Wen Lingyue shook her head and said, "I just heard the Palace Master mention some scattered details. It seems to be some important information related to the world of immortal cultivation, but I don't know the specific details."

Lu Xiuyuan said: "No, no, I'm just curious, but there is also an elder who came to my Giant Sword Sect, and I want to ask if he is alone." In order to avoid being found out that he is from the Juling Sect, Lu Xiuyuan lied to Wen Lingyue to conceal his identity.

Lu Xiuyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Wen Lingyue had not discovered his identity yet. He nodded slightly, pretending to understand, and then asked, "So, did the elders of the Juling Sect contact you again after they left, or did they receive any other news?"

Wen Lingyue pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "No, we have been waiting for news, but we have not received any further contact from the Juling Sect."

Lu Xiuyuan frowned, he felt that the matter seemed not simple. Why did the elder of the Juling Sect suddenly appear in Mingyue Palace, and brought such important news? He pondered secretly, and vaguely felt that the matter might involve a deeper level.

Wen Lingyue said: "After the elders of the Juling Sect left, our Mingyue Palace Master told us that in a few months, a secret realm called Beiya Cave will be opened. In this secret realm, there are supreme laws, containing the brilliance of the sun and the moon, and one can experience the ultimate power of the moon."

Wen Lingyue also said: "Because the Moon Power contained in Beiya Cave is useless to the people of Juling Sect, we invited people from Mingyue Palace to come to Beiya Cave. Now we are in Beiya Cave, but we haven't found any Moon Power. I feel like I was cheated. Now I am separated from my sisters and I haven't found it either."

When Lu Xiuyuan heard Wen Lingyue say this, he was shocked. How could this Beiya Cave have the power of moonlight? I didn't know about it and had never heard of it. It must be Xuanhuanzi who wanted a large number of people to come to Beiya Cave so that he could take the opportunity to muddy the water and benefit from it.

At this moment, a breeze blew through the woods, bringing a faint scent of flowers. Wen Lingyue's expression suddenly changed, and she looked around vigilantly, as if she had sensed an unusual atmosphere.

Lu Xiuyuan also felt something strange, and he immediately looked around vigilantly, but he didn't find any abnormal signs. He couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart, as if a hidden force was quietly approaching them.

"We must be careful and not take it lightly." Lu Xiuyuan whispered to Wen Lingyue.

Wen Lingyue nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes. The two of them prepared silently, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

Suddenly, a piercing scream came from not far away, breaking the silence around them. Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue's faces instantly became solemn, and they immediately stared ahead vigilantly.

"That is..." Wen Lingyue's voice trembled slightly. She looked at Lu Xiuyuan with a hint of panic in her eyes.

Lu Xiuyuan looked solemn, and he nodded slowly, signaling Wen Lingyue not to panic. Then, he cautiously approached the direction where the scream came from.

Under the shade of a forest, two figures were fighting fiercely. A young monk in a black robe, holding a sharp sword, faced a huge and violent monster, and a desperate fight broke out between the two.

The violent monster was huge, with bone spurs like swords and sharp teeth flashing cold light. It let out a deafening roar and tried to knock down the black-robed monk with its huge claws.

The black-robed monk was agile and nimble, dodging and counterattacking from time to time, trying to find the flaws of the violent monster.

"This is a life-and-death struggle!" Lu Xiuyuan was secretly alert in his heart. He knew that he and Wen Lingyue must intervene in time, otherwise there would be irreversible consequences.

He immediately said to Wen Lingyue: "Let's go help the black-robed monk!"

Wen Lingyue nodded, she also realized the situation. The two of them immediately started to move forward, quickly approaching the place where the fierce battle was taking place.

At this moment, the violent monster suddenly let out a shrill roar, and its body trembled violently, as if it was in great pain. The black-robed monk saw the opportunity and stabbed the violent monster's vital point with a sword.

However, just as the sword was about to pierce the violent monster, a purple light suddenly flashed, covering the black-robed monk. The black-robed monk's body suddenly stiffened, and the sword's momentum suddenly stopped.

"This is... the forbidden spell of the demon race!" Lu Xiuyuan's heart sank, and he immediately realized that the situation before him was extremely critical.

The black-robed monk was instantly swallowed by the purple light and turned into powder.

Wen Lingyue also sensed the danger, she frowned tightly, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes. But she did not hesitate, and immediately released her spiritual power to fight against the purple light.

Lu Xiuyuan felt a strong sense of crisis. Facing the powerful purple light, he knew he had to go all out. He concentrated his mind and circulated his spiritual power. A stream of fiery energy flowed into his body, turning into a layer of red-gold armor that covered his entire body.

The Phoenix Red Gold Armor shone brightly, emitting a fiery aura that enveloped Lu Xiuyuan. He felt the fiery energy coming from the armor, as if a warm current ran through his body, making him feel extremely excited.

"Lu Xiuyuan, what's wrong with you..." Wen Lingyue looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he actually possessed such a magical protective treasure.

"Hurry, let's fight together!" Lu Xiuyuan shouted loudly, and cooperated closely with Wen Lingyue to resist the invasion of the purple light.

Although the purple light was powerful, it was gradually dissipated under the protection of the Phoenix Red Gold Armor. Lu Xiuyuan felt his strength increasing, as if an infinite energy was surging in his body, making him feel stronger and more confident than ever before.

Seeing this, Wen Lingyue also increased her power output, and worked together with Lu Xiuyuan to resist the invasion of the purple light. Their cooperation was tacit and seamless, and they worked closely together to bring hope closer in the difficult situation.

The monster howled to the sky, the sound shook the valley, and the huge pressure came like a tidal wave, making Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue almost unable to breathe. The two of them quickly circulated their spiritual power, trying their best to resist this powerful pressure.

As the monster roared, a powerful aura quickly spread out, shaking all directions. Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue suddenly felt a sharp pain in their chests, as if they were about to be crushed by this oppressive force.

After struggling to resist the pressure, Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue finally looked up and saw a huge figure in the distance. The monster was tall and huge, with a majestic figure, blocking the way of the two like a huge mountain.

The monster was huge, covered with thick scales, and flashing with a cold light. Its eyes were fierce and cunning, exuding a fierce murderous aura that made people feel terrified. The huge figure looked even bigger under the night sky, like an insurmountable peak, which made Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue feel extremely heavy pressure.

"Such a huge monster!" Lu Xiuyuan was shocked. He didn't expect such a huge monster to appear in this desolate land. He knew that the strength of this monster should not be underestimated. For cultivators in the Qi training stage, they could not resist it at all. The power of the monster has reached the peak of the second-level monster, which is comparable to the human cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, making them feel extremely powerless and desperate.

In this situation, it was simply impossible to kill the monsters with higher levels. Although Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue both had extraordinary strength and courage, it was extremely difficult to win against such a huge and powerful enemy. The gap in strength was insurmountable, and the only thing they could do was to try every possible way to escape from this dangerous battlefield!

"We have to leave here as soon as possible!" Lu Xiuyuan said to Wen Lingyue anxiously, his voice full of anxiety and urgency. "We can't fight this monster head-on. The only way to save our lives is to retreat."

Wen Lingyue took a deep breath. She knew that the situation was extremely critical and she could die if she wasn't careful. She nodded, indicating that she agreed with Lu Xiuyuan's decision. The two of them turned around and prepared to flee this dangerous area. They had to do everything they could to get rid of the death threat in front of them.

The two decided to act separately, which would increase their chances of escape. Lu Xiuyuan walked quickly to the left, his heart filled with anxiety and worry. He knew that Wen Lingyue was in a very critical situation facing the huge monster, and he had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The monster chased Wen Lingyue mercilessly, as if it wanted to devour her completely. Wen Lingyue was agile, dodging and fighting back from time to time, but the monster's huge body and powerful strength made her look very small, and she fell into an extremely passive situation.

Lu Xiuyuan was out of danger, and he was delighted. However, he saw the monster chasing Wen Lingyue alone. With Wen Lingyue's strength, she was definitely not able to hold her own. She was doomed today. After all, Wen Lingyue was a kind girl, and at least she had no ill will towards him. If Wen Lingyue hadn't reminded him, he would have been discovered by the two teams ahead if he had walked straight ahead, and he would have been doomed.

Lu Xiuyuan made up his mind and gritted his teeth to decide to go and see the situation from a distance. In a dangerous situation like Beiya Cave, he would definitely not take the risk alone, and he would definitely not be a hero to save the damsel in distress if he didn't have the strength.

Then Lu Xiuyuan changed direction and chased in the direction of Wen Lingyue.

I saw rolling dust in front of me. A huge monster raised a sky full of yellow sand. The yellow sand was about to drown people. The trees on both sides were lying crookedly, some were cut in half, and some were knocked down at random. The scene was extremely tragic.

Lu Xiuyuan lifted up the air, let the spiritual power flow into his legs, and rushed towards the monster. Finally, he saw Wen Lingyue, who was like a ballet dancer performing on the edge of a knife, twisting and turning in the monster's attack. Although she was not hurt for the time being, Lu Xiuyuan saw that she had already been exhausted and was just barely maintaining the current situation.

Lu Xiuyuan did not rush to launch an attack, but was thinking about whether there was any good solution.
