Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

Chapter 164 Zhao Huang's Request

Inside the cultivation room, Li Yunfan sat cross-legged on the futon with his eyes slightly closed, motionless.

Bing'er lay to the side with a smile on her lips, her snake tail enveloping him beneath her.

For Bing'er, she felt very comfortable as long as she was by Li Yunfan's side.

So even if she wasn't cultivating, she still wanted to stay close to Li Yunfan.

As for Li Yunfan, ever since that day in the cold pool when he and Bing'er unconsciously experienced a meeting of cold and heat.

He vaguely sensed that his fire spirit body seemed to have undergone some inexplicable change.

However, during his cultivation, he could not find any changes, as if it were just his illusion.

However, Li Yunfan knew clearly that it was definitely not an illusion; he just hadn't figured out what changes had actually occurred in himself.

At this moment, Li Yunfan was preparing to refine the blue and white spiritual fire that he had already subdued within his body!

Previously, due to a drop in cultivation level and being in the territory of the Hanchi Clan, he had not had time to refine it.

Now that I'm back at the Luoyun Sect, and without worrying about safety or disturbances, I naturally want to finish this matter as soon as possible.

He fully released the control over the Purple Nether Heart Fire with his mind, and then the spiritual power in his dantian surged up, enveloping the spiritual fire.

Since the spirit fire had already recognized its master, it did not resist, but only faintly emitted a joyful thought.

After sensing that thought, Li Yunfan smiled slightly and then activated the Nine Revolutions Burning Heaven Technique to begin refining the blue and white spiritual fire!

With his current strength at the late Foundation Establishment stage, coupled with the obedience of the spirit fire after recognizing him as its master, and his proficiency in refining two kinds of spirit fire, he has the potential to achieve great success.

With these three points combined, he was confident that he could successfully refine the spiritual fire within two months!

On this day, inside the Yanyang Palace atop Huoyun Peak.

An elderly man with a white beard, dressed in a brown robe, sat smiling in a chair, talking to an elderly man with a square face and dignified appearance in a red robe.

"Brother Duan, I have come today with a request!" the white-bearded old man said with a smile.

"Oh? I wonder what Elder Zhao is seeking? As long as I can help, I will do my best!" The dignified old man in the red robe said with some surprise.

Zhao Huang chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Duan, you're too kind. What I'm asking for isn't your help, but rather to have one of your disciples assist me in crafting a magic weapon!"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across the old man in the red shirt. He quickly thought for a moment before asking the question.

"There are indeed quite a few Foundation Establishment disciples on Fire Cloud Peak. May I ask which one Brother Zhao is referring to?"

"Brother Duan should also know this disciple; his name is Li Yunfan!" Zhao Huang narrowed his eyes slightly and said the name of the person he was looking for with a smile.

"Li Yunfan?" The old man in the red shirt murmured a few times, as if the name sounded familiar.

-

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he said with a surprised expression.

"Is Elder Zhao referring to Li Yunfan, who won first place in the Sword Trial Tournament?"

"Not bad!" Zhao Huang nodded with a smile.

Seeing that the other party was indeed looking for Li Yunfan, the old man in the red robe frowned slightly, and after a moment he showed a bitter smile.

"To be honest, Brother Zhao, this young man has only been a member of the Falling Cloud Sect for two years. Although he is a disciple of my Fire Cloud Peak, he has not practiced any of our sect's techniques. If he is unwilling to help, even as the Peak Master, I cannot force him to intervene!"

Zhao Huang seemed completely unconcerned and continued speaking with a smile.

"It's alright. If they truly don't want to help, I certainly won't force them."

The old man in the redwood nodded, feeling a little more at ease.

Although he was not afraid of the other party, he did not want to make enemies with them because of this.

After all, the other party has a good reputation, and there's no guarantee that you won't need their help in the future.

"In that case, I will have my disciple bring him here."

After the old man in redwood finished speaking, he flipped his hand and took out a sound transmission talisman, put it to his lips and whispered a few words, then waved his hand and threw the talisman out.

Seeing this, Zhao Huang's smile widened, and he started chatting with the other person again.

Before long, a handsome man in his thirties, dressed in a blue robe, appeared.

Riding on a thick, dark red staff, it flew to the outside of Li Yunfan's cave.

The man looked curious as he carefully examined the array outside the cave.

Upon discovering that it was merely a very simple warning array, he couldn't help but secretly curl his lip in disapproval.

"The champion of the Sword Testing Tournament only set up such a simple, ordinary formation?"

He secretly cursed in his heart, while arrogantly thinking that if he hadn't been too old, the title of first place in the Sword Trial Tournament would definitely have been his!

In fact, he wasn't the only one with this idea; many other Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Luoyun Sect shared the same thought.

These disciples were all over thirty years old, but their cultivation was by no means weak; many of them were in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

In their eyes, Li Yunfan was just a disciple from a small family who had somehow gotten lucky and reached the late stage of cultivation.

If they were to fight him, they estimated that these disciples in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage would be able to defeat him!

After all, a cultivator's strength cannot be judged solely by their cultivation level; it also depends on the grade of the magical artifacts they use and the cultivation techniques they practice.

This is like a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator from a major sect, practicing a top-tier cultivation technique and carrying two or three top-tier magic artifacts, going to fight a late-Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator.

Although there is a small difference in cultivation level between the two, they can still hold their own against each other and even defeat each other by relying on their cultivation techniques and magical artifacts!

The man's cultivation level is now at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so he naturally looks down on Li Yunfan, a late-stage disciple who joined halfway through his cultivation journey.

A red spiritual light flashed in his hand, and then he flicked it toward the array outside the cave.

The red light suddenly roared towards the formation—

Inside the cultivation room of his cave, Li Yunfan, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon, suddenly twitched his brow and opened his eyes.

"Is someone attacking the formation?"

Li Yunfan frowned, then immediately released his divine sense to get a clear view of the situation outside the cave.

When he saw the blue-robed man outside the formation, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, because he didn't recognize the man.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to go out and take a look, since the other party had already come to his door!

Looking down at Bing'er, who was sleeping on his lap, Li Yunfan couldn't help but smile.

Over the past few months, he not only successfully refined the blue and white spirit fire, but also used the secret techniques of the Frost Demon Clan to help Bing'er resolve a burst of cold energy.

After that, the two became somewhat closer.

Li Yunfan, in particular, has gradually come to regard Bing'er as his humanoid spirit pet.

However, at certain moments, when he saw the curves of the other person's upper body, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

After all, he was a normal man. It would be strange if he didn't feel any emotion when he saw such a scene while cultivating!

He gently patted Bing'er's cold arm to wake her up and whispered to her.

"Bing'er, someone's coming outside! You should go into the spirit beast pouch and hide!"

Bing'er nodded sleepily, having no objection to Li Yunfan's words.

Li Yunfan smiled slightly, took off his spirit beast pouch and put Bing'er inside, then got up and walked out of the cave.
