Fairy bestows immortality

Ultimately, it's because of his humble origins.

He was just a junior cultivator who had just left the Tianyang Sect, and he still had to hide and flee when being hunted down by cultivators in the early stages of the Life Palace realm.

Even though the status of a high-level alchemist might be prestigious in the Ten Blessed Lands, it's not uncommon in second- or first-rate forces like Purple Flame Heavenly City.

If he were like Cang Shuichen, content to stay in a small sect like Qingyun Sect, he would live a leisurely and carefree life in his later years.

But that's not his nature. Since the Dao Source has merged with him, giving him absolute power, he must fight for it!

After some thought, Su Yun asked, "I wonder what Brother Yi's reason for cursing them?"

Yi Ling waved his hand and said, "You don't know, those two are no good. I knew the second master of Qingxuan Palace and learned some things about it, which is why I did this."

As he spoke, he sighed, "I wonder how the Second Pavilion Master is doing. Several years ago, when I was training in Ziyan Tiancheng, I encountered a crisis and was fortunate enough to be rescued by him. But I never thought that his fate would be unknown now."

"So that's it."

Su Yun was slightly surprised, not expecting that Yi Ling and the Second Pavilion Master had such a relationship.

So, he pondered for a moment and informed the other party that the Second Pavilion Master was alright and had returned to the Eastern Continent headquarters.

Yi Ling's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Su Yun smiled and briefly explained the process.

"Good, good, so it was Brother Su who saved the Second Pavilion Master."

Yi Ling was somewhat pleased.

"No wonder I felt we were kindred spirits when I first met Brother Su. Indeed, he is worth getting to know better!"

Su Yun's expression was strange; something about what he was saying didn't seem quite right.

When a cultivator from the Kou Shou lineage says he is a fellow practitioner, is that a compliment or a denigration?

He smiled and shook his head.

The three gradually became acquainted through conversation.

Finally, Su Yun brought up the matter of the Xunyang bandit treasure ruins again.

"Brother Yi has come all the way from Qishan to here. Does he have inside information and can find the ruins in advance?"

After hearing this, Yi Ling shook his head and said, "It's not that easy."

"The bandit from Xunyang was an old senior from ten thousand years ago. He was my ancestor, though not a true bloodline, but rather a fellow disciple."

"He was extremely talented and cultivated at a rapid pace. At just one hundred years old, he had already reached the realm of profound cultivation, making him one of the top experts in the Southern Region."

"Unfortunately, it disappeared for some unknown reason and has never appeared since. Rumor has it that it was exploring extraterrestrial areas or something else, but we don't know."

"Therefore, although the Xunyang Ancestor was the leader of the bandits in Qishan, he did not leave behind much information."

"I only have some information to sort through. I found a place where they just discovered the pearl and then disappeared. I chased them all the way here."

After hearing what Yi Ling said, the two of them both seemed to understand slightly.

Su Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Then Brother Yi, take us to that location and see if we can find anything new. If we can find a passage leading to the interior of the ruins, we might be able to obtain some treasures."

Yi Ling pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's fine too."

Although they had just met, he trusted Su Yun quite a bit and felt that they could become close friends.

If it were anyone else, it would be impossible for them to get a share of the profits!

Most importantly, Su Yun is able to unlock the secrets of the pearl, and I might need Su Yun's help to obtain more treasures.

The three chatted and laughed as they left.

Before leaving, Su Yun checked Ding Qian'er's location. He found that she had already gone far away and was no longer nearby.

It seems they went to investigate the array space that had been disturbed and disappeared.

They traveled on a spirit boat, leaving the Purple Flame Heavenly City.

Outside the city, towering mountains surround the area.

Looking down, one can see that the mountain ranges crisscross like giant dragons, lying coiled on the ground, deep and mysterious.
