Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 425: 1 Road to Immortality 16

At this time, in order to break the ice prison, Han Feng put all his energy into fighting against the strange cold force, and his side was the flaw!

A seemingly ordinary earth-splitting talisman, which actually embodies Yun Chu's profound understanding of the word "collapse", was gently slapped by Yun Chu on the ground beside Han Feng, where his sword was unable to protect him.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound! The ground suddenly collapsed!

It was not a violent explosion, but a precise energy shock conduction!

The solid stone surface of the ring under Han Feng's feet suddenly cracked and sank!

The sudden shock of his feet, coupled with the frost cage that bound his soul and body, completely broke Han Feng's well-honed sword balance!

puff!

Han Feng's momentum to break the ice prison was forcibly interrupted. His body was bounced upward by the shock force from his feet, and he lost his center of balance. His sword-holding arm became stiff and numb from resisting the icy cold, and it was difficult for him to maintain the state of unity between man and sword!

The whole person was thrown backwards like a kite with a broken string!

According to the rules of the competition, falling off the stage means failure.

Han Feng was in the air, trying hard to mobilize his spiritual power to stabilize his body, but the bone-chilling cold and the impact of his soul power were still there, and his body was still a little slower.

When he managed to channel his spiritual energy into his legs and tried to land on the edge of the ring—

laugh!

Yun Chu flicked his fingertips slightly, and the last quicksand talisman quietly lit up in that area!

As soon as Han Feng's feet touched the edge of the ground, he stepped on quicksand! His already unbalanced body could no longer gain any leverage!

"Thank you, Senior Brother Han."

When Yun Chu's clear voice rang out, Han Feng's figure had already fallen heavily on the hard ground outside the ring.

Although there was no injury, the outcome was already decided.

On the ring, the blue chill gradually dissipated, and the broken ice crystals sparkled in the sunlight, as if remembering the thrilling confrontation just now.

Yun Chu stood quietly in the center, his green robe fluttering slightly. Although his breath fluctuated a little, his expression remained as calm as water.

The disciples in the audience recovered from their shock and thunderous cheers swept over like a wave: "Junior Sister Qin truly deserves this!"

"Fairy Fu Shuang!"

"The champion of the competition!" A white-haired elder slowly stood up from the elders' seats and announced loudly: "The champion of this year's Xianyao Sect's Qi-training sect competition is - Qin Yunchu!" His voice was loud and echoed throughout the venue.

Amidst the cheers, an inner sect deacon floated over, holding a jade token engraved with spiritual patterns in his hand: "Qin Yunchu, from today on, you are officially promoted to an inner sect disciple of our sect."

The jade token felt warm in his hand, and the information contained in it flooded into Yun Chu's mind - the new cave location, enhanced authority, generous rewards, and even the sect contribution points doubled.

Yun Chu bowed respectfully with a slight smile on her lips. All this was the reward for her unremitting practice.

Just as the sun was setting, an elegant fragrance suddenly filled the entire place.

A woman in a simple and elegant red robe floated in front of Yun Chu - it was the master of Danxiang Peak, Xin Ning Zhenjun.

Her eyes were gentle, like a spring breeze. "Qin Yunchu, your talisman technique has reached a high level of sophistication, and your frost power is a rare and extraordinary talent. Would you like to join me at Danxiang Peak and learn the way of Danfu cultivation with me?"

Yun Chu was delighted and bowed quickly: "Disciple is willing to take Zhenjun as his master, and will never let you down!"

True Lord Xin Ning nodded, and with a slight tap of his fingertips, a gentle spiritual energy was injected into Yun Chu's body: "Okay, from now on, you are Danxiang Peak's direct disciple."

The disciples around were all envious.

***

Danxiang Peak is filled with spiritual energy, and the air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of herbs all year round. Among the clouds and mist, you can see patches of spiritual fields, and exotic flowers and plants compete for beauty.

True Lord Xin Ning's movements were ethereal as he descended from the clouds with his new disciple Qin Yunchu, and they arrived directly in front of an elegant and ancient hall on the top of the mountain.

The palace door opened without wind, revealing the simple yet elegant furnishings inside.

"Follow me in." Xin Ning Zhenjun said in a gentle voice, walked into the hall and sat down in the main seat.

Yun Chu took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement and curiosity about the new environment. She walked solemnly to her master's seat. She knelt respectfully, folded her hands before her forehead, and performed the most solemn disciple's kowtow in the world of immortal cultivation:

"Disciple Qin Yunchu, hello to Master!"

This knock is an acknowledgement of the relationship between master and disciple, and is also the starting point of a new journey.

"Alright, stand up." Xin Ning Zhenjun's lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with approval and a hint of elder's kindness. "Since you have entered our sect, you must abide by the rules of Danxiang Peak, practice the great way of Danfu, help the world and help others, and you must also constantly strive for self-improvement and not tarnish our peak's reputation."

"Disciple will follow Master's teachings and practice diligently to live up to Master's kindness!" Yun Chu stood up with a firm tone.

True Lord Xin Ning nodded, and with a flick of his hand, three objects shimmering with spiritual light floated in front of Yun Chu:

A small and exquisite jade cauldron: the body of the cauldron is engraved with cloud-patterned cauldron grass, and the lid is carved into the shape of a lotus bud. The jade is warm and smooth, and contains spiritual light.

"This is the 'Bi Bo Han Yan Furnace', a top-grade magic weapon. It has three formations engraved inside: gathering fire, drawing in spirits, and stabilizing the elixir. It can be sized as you like. It's more than enough for you to practice with until the late stage of foundation building." Xin Ning Zhenjun introduced that this is the foundation of an alchemist and also a recognition of his apprentice's talent.

A moon-white Taoist robe made of ice silk: the fabric is cool and smooth like water to the touch, with a restrained brilliance and faintly flowing runes.

"This is the 'Snow Soul Flowing Cloud Robe,' woven from thousand-year-old ice silkworm silk mixed with cloud essence. It's impervious to ordinary fire and can calm your mind, helping you resist the dry air and fire poisons of alchemy. It also contains the 'Clear Frost Array,' which draws a trace of the cold air from heaven and earth, which will also benefit you in activating your own frost power."

An ancient green jade slip: the whole body of the jade slip is lustrous and full of inherent aura.

"This 'Qing Mu Dan Jing, Volume 1' is the fundamental method for entering the Dao of Alchemy at our peak. It contains analysis of the properties of seventy-two basic medicinal herbs, detailed explanations of thirty-six common alchemy recipes, and the secrets of guiding the elixir and controlling fire. I hope you will study diligently and lay a solid foundation."

"These three items are just a gift for becoming my disciple. I hope you will make good use of them." Master Xin Ning said earnestly.

Yun Chu took the treasure in both hands. It felt warm and cool to the touch, with a sense of spirituality and heaviness. She felt the love and expectation contained in it, and a warm current surged in her heart: "Disciple thanks Master for this generous gift! I will cherish it and use it wisely, and live up to Master's trust!"

After the apprenticeship ceremony, True Lord Xin Ning looked at the disciple in charge standing beside him and said, "Take Yunchu to Hansongju."

"Yes, Master." The disciple in charge responded respectfully, then turned to Yun Chu and said, "Junior Sister Qin, please follow me."

Hansongju is located in a secluded and sunny valley halfway up Danxiang Peak.

The disciple in charge handed Yun Chu a jade token carved with pine branches and snowflakes. "Junior sister, this is the cave token. You need to inject spiritual energy into it to recognize the owner. From now on, it will be your certificate for entering and leaving."

Yun Chu followed his instructions and injected spiritual energy into it. The token glowed slightly, and a message entered her mind. She raised her hand and pressed the token against a depression above the stone door of the cave, and the stone door slid open silently.

As you step into the cave, a strong yet refreshing aura of wood and water attributes hits you in the face.

The cave had obviously been recently cleaned, it was spacious and bright, with a stone table and stone benches, and everything you need.

There are separate areas such as quiet room, alchemy room, exercise room, and medicine garden;

There are several luminous stones embedded in the cave ceiling, casting a soft light;

Embedded in the walls were spirit-inducing formations, gently gathering strands of spiritual energy within. Although no spiritual plants were planted in the herb garden, the soil was exceptionally fertile.
