Mysterious mirror hanging high

This is certainly because Yuwen Yundan was born into a Jindan family and is now the eldest son of the Yuwen family, a direct descendant of the family, but it is also related to the fact that he often goes out to explore secret realms and look for opportunities.

Zhao Yuanxi's spiritual consciousness probed into the communication jade talisman, and he heard Yuwen Yundan's message:

"Dear Sister Yuan Xi, Yun Dan discovered a secret realm in the countryside outside the city yesterday. It contains an ancient forbidden formation that requires three ice-rooted cultivators to activate with ice-based magic. We're still missing one. I wonder if Sister Yuan Xi is interested? This secret realm isn't too dangerous, so I hope Sister Yuan Xi will consider it."

After crushing the jade talisman, Zhao Yuanxi looked hesitant.

How could she not see that Yuwen Yundan was trying to give her a share of the profits?

He, Yuwen Yundan, is the eldest son of the Yuwen family. There are so many ice cultivators in the entire Xiaoyao Immortal City who are eager to serve him. How could he not even be able to gather three foundation-building cultivators with ice spiritual roots? He just wanted to find an excuse to invite Zhao Yuanxi.

Speaking of which, Zhao Yuanxi's relationship with the Yuwen family has never been broken over the years. They often visit each other during festivals and holidays, and there is never a shortage of social interactions, so the relationship is maintained very well.

However, in the past, Zhao Yuanxi politely declined all invitations to explore secret places together for safety reasons.

But now she was a little hesitant: "My uncle once said that one shouldn't constantly take risks when cultivating, as that would be like trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire... But one can't just stay away from the world, otherwise, all opportunities will be missed, and how can one even strive for the Tao?"

"It's true that I possess the [Eternal Green Dao Body], but these extra five hundred years of life are something many cultivators would never be able to obtain! Logically speaking, even with this level of perseverance, I should be able to reach the Golden Core Stage! But what about the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation Stages?"

"These five hundred years will only become less and less sufficient."

Zhao Yuanxi sighed: "Maybe it's time to make a change."

But then I think, shouldn’t I first stabilize myself until I reach the middle stage of foundation building, and have a certain level of combat power guarantee, before making any plans?

For a moment, this woman, who was originally quite intelligent, was at a loss as to what to do.

"My brother once said that he and I were born from the same mother, and that our innate wisdom wasn't much different. The reason why [Fairy Yuanxi] is so well-known and well-rounded is simply because of my grandmother's good teaching! I didn't agree with her before, but now it seems to be true... In terms of wisdom and decisiveness, I'm far inferior to my grandmother..."

"Back then, I boasted that I would see the peak scenery of Yuanying Zhenjun. Now it seems that I was really shameless."

Zhao Yuanxi shook his head and smiled bitterly, took out the [Spiritual Stone Embryo], and went to the [Tianmingfang] as usual to see if there were any new ways to make money, earn spiritual funds, and supplement the family income.

I clicked on the most lively [Talking about Mystery and Taoism] section and saw the pinned post at first glance.

"Hmm? A cultivator has formed a pill? And the pill has turned into golden purple!"

Zhao Yuanxi clicked on the post with some envy. The next moment, an expression of envy froze on her face. She lowered her gaze and stared at the poster's code name:

【One Yuan】.

"Uncle!"

Zhao Yuanxi felt as if her mind exploded. She was still afraid that she had worked hard all day and must have seen it wrong, so she stared at it and read it several times, then she was shocked:

"I knew my uncle had a secret, but I never imagined it would be this big!"

"He drew Qi into his body at the age of forty-five, so he's only one hundred and thirty-seven now. He's been practicing Taoism for only a hundred years, so how could he suddenly form a golden elixir? And a purple-qi golden elixir at that!"

Zhao Yuanxi suddenly looked happy, and her originally depressed and anxious mood instantly dissipated. She first took out a sound transmission jade talisman and rejected Yuwen Yundan's invitation to explore the secret realm together. Then she thought to herself:

"Why explore this secret realm? Tomorrow I'll quit my job patrolling the city defenses and stay in the city. Preserving my life is my top priority. As long as I wait for my uncle to return to the Yunchuan Region, all opportunities will arise!"

One month later, in the Red Dust Sea, Xingluo Island

On this day, the gates of the Xingluo Island's Golden Elixir Formation were wide open, the island was decorated with lights and colorful ribbons, and golden and purple satin were hung everywhere. Many Song family cultivators on the island were walking around, busy and bustling about, all arranging various matters for the Golden Elixir Ceremony of Xuan Jing Zhenren at noon.

The lights of cultivators kept flying from afar. At this time, the Jindan Zhenren were not in a hurry to show up. Most of those who came were those who had established their foundation or practiced Qi.

Among them were two large and fat bald monks who were standing at the foot of Guachou Mountain and had an argument with the monk who was in charge of receiving guests at the foot of the mountain.

"My fellow Daoist, I am an old acquaintance of Master Xuan Jing. When he was still at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he also ate and ate at my [Niehai Jinlian Temple] for a period of time!"

The slightly younger Foundation Establishment monk in the front kept chattering about relationships, but the old Qi Training monk with wrinkles all over his face in the back shrank his head like a frightened quail, not daring to say a word.

The monk who was in charge of reception looked a little embarrassed, fearing that the two monks in front of him were really old acquaintances of the real master, but he did not dare to break the rules, so he could only patiently say:

"Master! It's not that I won't let you in, but Xingluo Island has already sent invitations to all the familiar forces or old acquaintances of the Song family. Now that you're attending the Golden Elixir Ceremony, you naturally need an invitation... What about you?"

The monk walking in front was naturally the abbot of [Niehai Jinlian Temple], Master Jinlian. At this moment, his eyes rolled around and he said vaguely:

"This... maybe the invitation was lost by one of the young monks in my temple. Can you make some concessions?"

The monk in charge of reception said helplessly, "Master, the invitations are all one size fits all. I also have invitations to various forces and individuals, but the [Niehai Jinlian Temple] isn't among them. Why don't you try to find the real master? Since he's an old acquaintance of the real master, he shouldn't be unable to even send a sound transmission jade talisman, right?"

Master Jinlian looked embarrassed and hesitated, "This... this..."

Then, he turned into a rage, turned around and kicked the old monk: "Jin Yunzi! Do you have the mark of the magic power left by the real person? Send a sound transmission jade talisman quickly!"

The now very old Jin Yunzi said with a sad face, "Master, I told you not to try to establish a relationship with him. Master Xuan Jing has only stayed in our temple for a few months. There is no relationship between us!"

"Useless thing!" Master Jinlian cursed, then suddenly closed his mouth and looked into the distance.

A beam of light flew over from afar and landed beside a few people. From among them walked out a handsome young monk.

The monk who was in charge of reception said quickly, "Greetings, Master Yuanji!"

Monk Yuanji touched the back of his head and asked with a smile, "Is my master here?"

"Master Black Tiger is now in the main hall on the mountainside, talking with the real person, and he is still muttering when the master will come."

Monk Yuanji nodded and was about to enter the mountain, but he glanced at Master Jinlian and Jin Yunzi:

"I have some acquaintance with these two, so why not be flexible and let them in?"
