A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

Once outside the city, Ningyan and the others were quite curious. Bai Yuan had only said he was leaving, but hadn't said where he was going.

"Let's go up the mountain first. Yunxi has already selected some brave people who are willing to learn the [Cliff Fall Sword Technique]."

"You really intend to let them learn that 'Clifffall Sword Technique'?"

"Of course! I'm not kidding. You'll all be surprised by their transformation soon."

Bai Yuan's lips curled up slightly. This unreasonable way of becoming stronger would shock anyone who came across it.

Ningyan and the others shook their heads slightly after hearing this.

Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. No matter what Bai Yuan says now, Ningyan and the others will always have some doubts.

They stopped dwelling on these matters and turned their attention to Huadie, who was pouring tea for them.

"What happened to the message I asked you to deliver before?"

"The Luo Wang (a secret intelligence network) has already sent me a message saying they will send someone to meet with me and confirm the authenticity of the information."

"Looks like the fish has taken the bait!"

Bai Yuan was in a great mood.

This time, the message they sent to Luo Wang via Hua Die was related to Ning Yan, or rather, to Jing Ni.

Jing Ni is still alive!

Upon hearing this news, they doubted that Luo Wang could remain indifferent.

Chapter 211 Who says alchemy hand seals can only be used for alchemy?

When news of Jing Ni's death spread in Wei, although the Jing Ni Sword served as proof, the members of Luo Wang did not actually see Jing Ni's body.

It was only because they had indeed lost contact with Jing Ni after that that the Luo Wang was forced to believe it for the time being.

The assassination attempt on Lord Xinling failed, and the loss of a top-tier assassin and the Jingni Sword, one of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue, was something that the Luo Wang (a powerful organization) naturally held a grudge against.

Now that Bai Yuan has sent Hua Die to Luo Wang to spread the news that Jing Ni might still be alive, it's sure to cause an uproar within Luo Wang.

To verify the authenticity of the message, they will definitely send someone over.

And that's exactly what Bai Yuan wanted.

He wants to overthrow the Luo Wang organization, but relying solely on Hua Die is far from enough.

After all, she was ostensibly someone planted by the Luo Wang organization to be by her side, but she was still a long way from actually getting close to the Luo Wang organization.

Hua Die was just a low-ranking intelligence officer in the Luo Wang organization. In modern terms, she didn't even have a formal position and didn't receive a salary.

That's why he had Huadie use the news that Jingni was still alive as bait to lure the real members of Luo Wang to come, and then try to control these people for his own use.

Normally, Bai Yuan would disdain using such underhanded methods.

But he doesn't need to talk about benevolence and morality with Luo Wang. Since they dare to plant spies around him, it's no wonder he'll retaliate in kind.

Bai Yuan used Jing Ni's information as bait with Ning Yan's consent.

Ningyan is now much stronger than she was when she was in Luo Wang, and she no longer has the same fear of Luo Wang as before. Moreover, because of the Hundred Transformations Mask, even if she stood in front of the members of Luo Wang, they would not recognize her, so she has even less to worry about.

Even if these people knew she was still alive, it wouldn't really affect her. On the contrary, she would be happy to help Bai Yuan outmaneuver Luo Wang.

Bai Yuan and his group traveled northwest for about a day before arriving at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, the closest mountain to the capital of Zhao.

They originally planned to enter through Fukou Pass, one of the eight paths of Taihang, but the weather turned against them.

Because it had been snowing for several days in a row, the ground was covered with snow, and all they could see was a vast expanse of white, with everything dressed in silver.

Normally this might be a rare sight, but for Bai Yuan and his companions who wanted to climb the mountain, it became a natural obstacle.

The wheels left long tracks in the snow, and the thick snow made it very difficult for the carriage to move forward, making it hard for the horses to pull the carriage. As a result, Bai Yuan and his group moved much slower than before.

Seeing that the snowstorm was not only not getting lighter, but was getting heavier, Bai Yuan knew that going up the mountain in the snowstorm was definitely not an option.

For safety reasons, they had to postpone their plans to go up the mountain and found a place to stay at the foot of the mountain.

They parked the carriages in a grove of trees, arranged them in a circle, and then set up some tents and such inside.

As soon as they got off the carriage, the dancers shivered from the cold. Unlike Bai Yuan, who had profound internal energy to protect him, they still felt cold even though they were all wrapped up like dumplings.

No need for Bai Yuan to give instructions

Yunxi had already asked someone to bring some charcoal to prepare for starting a fire for warmth.

He had them pile the charcoal together, then flicked his finger, sending a blue flame flying out and landing on the charcoal. He then used the [Mist Flower Seal], a technique that was originally intended for alchemy.

With swift, flying fingers, a phantom azure fire lotus bloomed, enveloping everyone within it.

The flames dispelled the surrounding chill, and the swirling snow melted away as soon as it approached the illusory blue fire lotus. It was as if Bai Yuan had set up a barrier here, keeping the cold wind and snow out.

Soon everyone felt warm, and the dancers, including Yunxi, exclaimed in surprise as they looked at the floating blue light and shadow around them, as if they had opened up a new world.

All the dancers looked at Bai Yuan, their eyes filled with a kind of fanaticism.

Being stared at with such admiring eyes by so many people, Bai Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Actually, this was the first time he had used it like this, and there was no rule that alchemy hand seals could only be used for alchemy.

"Alright, stop standing there. It's getting late. Those who need to cook should cook, and those who need to set up tents should set up tents."

Upon hearing this, the dancers realized that their behavior had been somewhat inappropriate and immediately became a little shy.

They responded and, under Yunxi's guidance, divided the tasks and began to get busy.

Soon it was completely dark, and the group gathered in twos and threes to eat dinner, feeling extremely satisfied.

Under the blue firelight, everyone's face was filled with a genuine smile.

After a day of riding in the carriage, everyone was quite tired, so after dinner they all went to rest.

Only Yunxi and the twenty dancers she had chosen who were willing to risk their lives to learn the [Cliff Fall Sword Technique] did not go to rest, but were summoned to Bai Yuan's presence.

"Judging from the weather, the snow might not stop tomorrow. We definitely can't stay here for too long, so I plan to take you up the mountain tomorrow. The rest of you can wait for us to come back here. If all goes well, we can go in the morning and be back by evening."

Bai Yuan explained his plan to Yun Xi and the others.

The group looked at each other, and soon made their decisions.

"We will do whatever you say, sir."

Early the next morning, Bai Yuan and Ji Mo Huaxue led Yun Xi and more than 20 others up the mountain, while Ning Yan and the Black and White Sisters waited there with the rest of the people.

Watching Yunxi and the others leave, Xue Nu silently prayed for them, hoping that everything would go smoothly.

Climbing the mountain alone is not difficult for Bai Yuan and Ji Mo Hua Xue; it may not take long to go up and down. However, because they have to take care of Yun Xi and the others, their overall speed is not fast.

Even so, they reached the edge of a cliff before noon.

At this moment, Yunxi and the others were all exhausted.

It must have been very arduous for them to walk so far in the heavy snow.

Bai Yuan let them rest for a while, and then ran to the edge of the cliff to check the situation.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Bai Yuan looked at the vast expanse of white in the distance and couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation, as if all the birds had flown away from the mountains and all human tracks had vanished from the paths.

Beneath his feet lay a bottomless abyss; an ordinary person would likely be terrified and dizzy just by looking at it.

But Bai Yuan was very satisfied with this place.

The higher the cliff you jump off when using the [Clifffall Sword Technique], the more opportunities you will have, and the greater the benefits you will receive.

At this moment, Yunxi and the others walked over.

"Sir, we have rested well."

Hearing this, Bai Yuan nodded slightly: "In that case, who will go first?"

"Let me do it!"

Yunxi stepped forward to lead the way. She came to the edge of the cliff, glanced at the scenery below, and was so frightened that she took two steps back.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yuan didn't say anything; it was just a normal person's reaction.

So he didn't urge Yunxi, but instead chose to give her enough time to adjust her mental state.

Chapter 212 How Masters Are Made

On the edge of the cliff, Yunxi clutched her chest and took several deep breaths, finally managing to calm her wildly beating heart a little.

At this moment, Bai Yuan also took out the Peach Blossom Sword and handed it to Yun Xi.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. If there's danger down there, just hold on to this sword, and it will bring you up."

Bai Yuan spoke up to help Yun Xi dispel her worries.

In fact, Tao Yao is currently attached to the Peach Blossom Sword. If anything goes wrong, she will not stand idly by. This is the source of Bai Yuan's confidence in letting them jump off the cliff here.

Yunxi took the sword and stared at Bai Yuan for a long time. She gently bit her lip and suddenly said, "Before Yunxi jumps down, I wonder if you could grant me a favor?"

"You said it."

"If I really become stronger because of the [Cliff Fall Sword Technique], then I would like to be able to serve you, Master, just like Hua Die and the others."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, but ultimately nodded.

Seeing that Bai Yuan had agreed, Yun Xi no longer hesitated, took a step towards the edge of the cliff, and jumped off.

Soon, a feeling of weightlessness came over her, but she felt no fear at all.

He stood on the edge of the cliff, looking around. Although he knew that the [Clifffall Sword Technique] would definitely be useful, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Yunxi quickly disappeared into the snow and mist below the cliff, and Bai Yuan could no longer see what was happening below.

However, since Tao Yao didn't react, it means there shouldn't be any problems below.

At this moment, Bai Yuan saw something shimmering in the white snow mist.

It lit up several times in a row.

After the light flashed for the fifth time, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Bai Yuan's face.

He sensed the Peach Blossom Sword approaching them again.

The sword energy pierced through the snow mist, bringing Yunxi up.
