Chapter 119 Starfall PavilionTwenty days later, in the southern part of Zhongzhou.
"Oh!"
A silver ship rushed out of the space wormhole, then shrank rapidly, and several figures jumped off from it.
"Swoosh!" Xiao Yun stretched out his hand, grabbed the spaceship, put it into his storage ring, and then walked down the stone platform with the two women.
"Finally we're here. It's more fun outside." Zi Yan stretched lazily. Because she was hurt by other people's words before, she had been eating pills like crazy along the way. After eating, she ran to the room to sleep and digest them. After twenty days, she finally broke through to the Douhuang realm.
In other words, she has the physique of the Taixu Ancient Dragon. If it were any other magical beast, it would not be able to absorb it as it would have been exploded by the surging energy in its body.
Several people walked in the city, looking around. According to the map in Yao Lao's hand, if nothing unexpected happened, this city should be called Tiangang City. It is sandwiched between the three major forces of Xingyun Pavilion, Glacier Valley and Fenyan Valley, and is a no-man's land.
"I never thought that I could return to the Southern Region during my lifetime." An old voice sounded in Xiao Yun's heart.
The person who spoke was Yao Lao. If the appearance of his soul had not been too strange in the eyes of others, the old man would have run out to breathe the outside air long ago.
"Alright, stop sighing." Xiao Yun shook his head and asked, "We are going back to your base camp now. After I refine your body, you can come back here and sigh slowly."
The two have been together for more than five years. Over the years, Yao Lao and he have developed a special relationship as both a teacher and a friend, and they are no longer as polite when speaking to each other as before.
Among the three people and two ghosts, the others either came to Zhongzhou for the first time or were old guys who lived hundreds of years ago. Only Yao Lao knew the exact location of Xingyun Pavilion, so he had to do the job of pointing the way.
"Young man, you are still too impatient." Yao Lao laughed and then stopped sighing. After the three of them walked out of Tiangang City and came to the wilderness, he pointed out the specific location of Xingyun Pavilion to everyone.
……
Xingyun Pavilion is one of the four pavilions. The so-called four pavilions are one in the east, west, south and north, and Xingyun Pavilion is located in the southern region of Zhongzhou.
Unlike the other three pavilions, it built its headquarters in a grand and magnificent manner, so that people can feel the powerful strength of this sect from the outside, but it was built in a very mysterious way. If you are not an unfamiliar person, it is probably difficult to even find the address of the sect.
Xiao Yun and others started flying from Tiangang City. Following Yao Lao's instructions, they flew for seven days before stopping their long journey in a mountain range called Tianxing.
"Xingyun Pavilion! I am finally back here." Yao Lao's soul body was suspended in the air, looking at the endless forest below, and sighed.
"Brother, is this the headquarters of your Xingyun Pavilion? I only see a large mountain." Yao Tianhuo also flew out from the storage ring. There were mountains and trees everywhere, and there was no trace of the sect.
"Haha, the Xingyun Pavilion is indeed located in the Tianxing Mountains, but the method of entering is a bit strange. Without the corresponding method, even a Dou Zun would find it difficult to enter."
Hearing Yao Tianhuo's doubts, Yao Lao stroked his gray beard and said proudly: "I spent a long time looking for this place. There is a large formation in the mountains, but this formation is not man-made, but formed naturally!"
"With this formation, the headquarters of the Xingyun Pavilion has become extremely mysterious in the eyes of the world. Although its area is not as large as the space created by the Dou Sheng, it is naturally formed and is extremely concealed!"
"Come with me, we're here." After saying that, Yao Lao took the lead and descended. Seeing this, the others followed suit and landed together in the forest below.
Xiao Yun and others looked at the extremely ordinary Lin Hai in front of them, and then turned their gaze to Yao Lao.
"Master Yao, we are at your door. Send someone to greet us."
“Ahem, that…” Upon hearing this, Yao Lao’s face suddenly turned red. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, “This Falling Star Array is formed naturally. If you want to enter it, unless a Dou Sheng strongman uses brute force to break it open, you can only hold the Star Stone and let the Array recognize it before you can enter.”
"Mr. Yao, you're not going to tell me you don't have it, are you?" Upon hearing what Mr. Yao said, a bad thought suddenly flashed through everyone's mind.
"Ahem, well, I've been dead for many years, so it's normal to lose something like the Star Stone, right?" He was so focused on returning that he forgot about the space formation.
Yao Lao's situation is like bringing friends home as guests, and when they arrive at the door they find that their keys are lost, and a bunch of people are trapped outside the door. Even if he is thick-skinned, he still feels a little embarrassed.
After getting a positive answer, Xiao Yun shook his head helplessly, then looked at Zi Yan and asked, "Can you rely on your talent to get through this space formation?"
The little girl heard this and disappeared into the void. After a while, she reappeared and shook her head, saying, "No, I can only sense this space barrier, but the specific location keeps changing. If I break through to Dou Zong, I should be able to pass through it."
"That's amazing. We can't even sense it." Xiao Yun rubbed the little girl's head, then looked up at Yao Lao in the air, "What should we do now? Should we just wait outside for the people from Xingyun Pavilion to come out?"
"That's not necessary. Although the Starfall Pavilion is located in the Starfall Space, it is still in the Tianxing Mountains. As long as we make a little noise, the people inside will sense it and they will naturally come out."
Xiao Yun nodded. This old man finally came up with a good idea. Then the fighting spirit surged out of his body and gathered in his palm.
"What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to make some noise? If I strike you with this palm, it will make a big noise."
"Ahem, I'm not asking you to raze this place to the ground. Just make a sixth-grade elixir and create some strange phenomena in the world."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xiao Yun waved his hand, and the fighting spirit contained in it dissipated. Then he took out the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron from the ring and placed it on the ground.
"Zi Yan, you have just broken through to the Dou Huang level. Let me help you refine an Huangji Pill."
Dozens of medicinal herbs flew out and hovered neatly in the air. Xiao Yun stretched out his palm, and the Fallen Heart Flame came out as his heart wished, jumping on his fingertips.
With a flick of his finger, the invisible flame fell into the black heavy cauldron and instantly turned into a raging fire, causing the temperature of the surrounding area to rise rapidly.
Xiao Yixian and a few others quickly retreated to the side to avoid interfering with Xiao Yun's pill refining.
He picked up the herbs skillfully and threw them into the flames. Under the extreme temperature, the herbs quickly withered, and drops of medicinal essence seeped out from the surface...
Xiao Yun is now at the level of a seventh-grade alchemist. Even when refining elixirs like the Huangji Pill, his success rate is as high as 80%.
"This kid has a great talent in alchemy." Yao Lao murmured in a low voice. As the only two alchemists present, others might just think that Xiao Yun's movements were very smooth, like flowing water.
But he could see from this that Xiao Yun already possessed the demeanor of a master alchemist, and what the latter currently lacked was only the soul realm.
"Perhaps, it's time to pass on the soul skills to him."
…The sun gradually moved, like a blood-red afterglow falling on the handsome face of the young man, revealing a slightly weird look.
Half a day later, Xiao Yun had finished refining all the medicinal essences and began to fuse them into pills.
The colorful medicinal essence kept swimming in the medicine cauldron, and Xiao Yun's soul power poured out, carefully controlling the Falling Heart Flame. Under the burning of the flame, the originally large mass of liquid kept shrinking, and the flowing surface gradually hardened.
Gradually, the outline of a pill with some holes in it emerged in the flames. The next moment, a wave of energy from heaven and earth spread out to the outside world with the medicine cauldron as the center.
"It's going to succeed!" Zi Yan was lying on the grass bored. The moment the energy hit her, she sat up suddenly, her eyes fixed on the medicine cauldron, or to be more precise, on the prototype of the pill inside it.
The seals in Xiao Yun's hands changed, and suddenly, the Fallen Heart Flame inside the medicine cauldron surged violently, filling the huge Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron. And in the invisible flame, there was a bright white light, emitting dazzling light.
The white light kept flickering, and as the light changed, circles of energy ripples spread rapidly outward. Wherever they passed, rocks rolled down and trees were broken in half.
Xiao Yixiang and others flashed and moved the trees away one by one so as not to disturb the young man in the center.
At a certain moment, the light suddenly shrank, and the flame in the medicine cauldron also drilled into the pill. Then, a rich pill fragrance permeated out and covered the area.
"boom!"
A beam of light that was about ten feet thick shot up into the sky, and circles of energy from heaven and earth that were more turbulent than before spread out in all directions.
In the hall of an ancient attic in the Falling Star Space.
Nearly ten old men were sitting in the middle, two of them were still arguing about something, and at the top, an old man in a green robe was closing his eyes in deep thought, with his long hair draped over his shoulders, looking very free and easy.
"Alas." Just when the two old men were arguing with their faces red, the old man in green robe let out a light sigh and then opened his eyes. Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from his body and the whole hall instantly became silent.
"The two elders are just empty names, why do you have to fight with each other?"
They were arguing about the previous Four Pavilions Conference. Among the four pavilions, Mingmingxingyun Pavilion was the strongest, but it ended up ranking second.
So one of them wanted to open the Xingyun Pavilion, just like the other three pavilions, to recruit disciples. As long as the base number increases, the number of talented disciples will naturally increase.
However, another elder believed that quality of disciples was more important than quantity, and that the tradition of Xingyun Pavilion should be upheld, and only geniuses should be selected to join.
It is natural that two people with opposite opinions cannot stand each other, which leads to such a quarrel.
"Deputy Pavilion Master, you don't know, since Fenglei Pavilion took first place, many geniuses from Zhongzhou have come from far away to join it. It makes me really anxious." The red-haired old man said anxiously.
"Hmph, so what? In terms of strength, you are still no match for us!" said another black-haired old man disdainfully.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the old man in green robe felt a headache. Just as he was about to say something, his face suddenly changed slightly, and his eyes seemed to see through the wall and outside the space.
"This is..." The other elders also noticed it and stood up from their chairs, "Someone is refining pills outside the Falling Star Array."
"Looking at the fluctuations in the energy of heaven and earth, the quality of the elixir he refined is not low. I'm afraid it has reached the sixth grade."
Several old men talked to each other, and then all looked at the old man in green robe above them.
"This is indeed a phenomenon of heaven and earth produced by a high-level elixir. Elders Fang and Xu, please go out and take a look. If there is an idle alchemist, try to see if you can get him to join our Xingyun Pavilion."
The old man in green robe pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, since the disappearance of the Pavilion Master of Xingyun Pavilion, there has been no other alchemist in the huge Xingyun Pavilion. Now that there is an alchemist outside who is making pills, of course they have to seize the opportunity.
"Yes!" The two old men immediately bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and flew out of the quaint attic.
……
In the vast mountains, a beam of energy light about ten feet thick shot straight into the sky and did not dissipate for a long time.
Xiao Yun slowly stood up from the ground, saw the energy beam, and asked, "Is this noise big enough?"
"Hmm." Yao Lao floated over and sucked his palm towards the light column. Suddenly, a white ball of light separated from it and fell into his old palm.
As the light ball left, the light column gradually shrank, and after a moment, it dissipated in the sky. The light of the light ball also shrank, revealing the round pill inside.
"Well, it's good. The fragrance is fresh and the elixir patterns are solid. Your Huangji Pill is almost catching up with the seventh-grade elixir." Holding the white pill between two fingers, Yao Lao observed it carefully, and then threw it to Zi Yan who was drooling at the side.
"If you take this pill, I'm afraid it will improve your cultivation by two stars, directly reaching the three-star Douhuang level."
Hearing this, Zi Yan chuckled, then put it into her ring, preparing to take it after entering Xingyun Pavilion.
The Little Medical Fairy also came over and wiped the sweat from Xiao Yun's forehead. Before she could speak, the space in front of them suddenly rippled.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, two old figures stepped out from it. They glanced around casually and were first attracted by the huge Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron on the open ground.
"This tripod is extraordinary." After exclaiming in admiration, one of the old men looked at Xiao Yun and the others. When he glanced at Yao Lao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he concealed it well.
"Hahaha, hello everyone. I'm Fang Xu, and the one next to me is Xu Hen. We're all elders of the Xingyun Pavilion." Elder Fang cupped his hands and looked at Xiao Yun. Among the few people, only he had the most powerful aura. He smiled and said, "I wonder if the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth just now was caused by you."
"That's right, kid Xiao Yun, nice to meet the two elders." Xiao Yun nodded, then turned to look at Yao Lao and said with a smile, "Yao Lao, it seems that your Xingyun Pavilion is not bad. The elders who come out of it are so polite."
"Haha, of course." Yao Lao stroked his beard, floated in front of the crowd, and said with a smile: "Do you two recognize me?"
"Who are you?" Upon hearing this, the two elders were startled and looked at Yao Lao carefully, but suddenly discovered that the latter actually looked the same as the portrait of the Pavilion Master in the hall!
"Could it be that you are Master Yao Chen?" The two elders looked at each other and said hesitantly. They both joined Xingyun Pavilion after Yao Chen's death and had never seen Yao Chen in person.
“Hahaha, it seems that old fellow Feng Xian hasn’t removed my portrait yet.” Yao Chen laughed and nodded, “Yes, I am Yao Chen!”
"Fang Xu (Xu Hen) greets the Pavilion Master." After hearing Yao Lao's admission, and considering that he looked exactly like the one in the portrait, and that this was in front of the gate of Xingyun Pavilion, he would not dare to act funny here. The two of them did not hesitate at all and bowed.
