One of my fairy-like friends

Upon entering the cave, Mingyan immediately felt the temperature drop sharply. Icicles could be seen on the surrounding stone walls. There was a light source somewhere in the cave, making the entire cave quite bright. As Mingyan walked further in, he came across a pool of water.

The water reflected light, appearing pale blue, and despite the cold, the surface did not freeze.

The closer he got to the pool, the colder it became. Mingyan felt a chill. He walked to the edge of the pool and put his hand into the water.

The temperature was so intense that it made Mingyan uncomfortable, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand.

This is so cold... Is this the water temperature Master uses for bathing? No wonder he's so aloof...

Hmm, the two shouldn't be related. Mingyan banished his wild thoughts from his mind, then sat cross-legged and began his cultivation.

The cave was filled with a heavy, pure yin energy, devoid of any other aura, only pure yin energy.

Generally speaking, places with heavy yin energy will give birth to ghosts, or be suitable for ghosts to live in, so there will be some ghosts. But there are no ghosts here, making it an extremely suitable place for Mingyan to cultivate.

After cultivating for a while, Mingyan realized that although he could absorb the surrounding Yin energy, the speed was too slow. At this rate, he didn't know when he would be able to break through. After thinking for a moment, he took off his clothes and jumped directly into the cold pool.

The biting cold made Mingyan feel as if his body had almost frozen in an instant, and the blood of the Human King in his body was almost frozen, causing him to almost lose consciousness.

It was colder than he had imagined!

The Human King's Body sensed the danger and reacted, with a red sun appearing behind him. The faint light shone on Ming Yan, and Ming Yan felt much better.

It's so cold... Mingyan took a deep breath, but the yin energy in the water was much higher than on the shore, making it extremely suitable for his cultivation.

Mingyan closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation.

The news of the appearance of intruders from other realms in the Extreme Dao Palace spread like wildfire, causing a huge uproar.

What is the Supreme Dao Hall? It's a place where the Great Dao nurtures the next generation, yet an intruder from another realm has appeared there?

what does this mean?

This means that other mechanisms for cultivating the next generation may also be susceptible to outsiders.

This means that the intruder may have already arrived in this world, or that dark turmoil has already begun.

Various rumors quickly spread, causing widespread panic. History has shown how terrifying the invaders from other realms are. Even with an empress in charge, the number of cultivators who might die is probably only three levels. But who would want to be one of those three levels?

Chapter 115 A Perfect Match

Mingyan was unaware of what was happening outside; he was currently cultivating in the icy pool.

The cold pool is filled with heavy yin energy, making it extremely suitable for Mingyan's cultivation.

It took Mingyan nearly a month to finally adapt to the cold of the cold pool, and he no longer needed the strange phenomenon of the red sun to alleviate the cold that seemed to freeze the blood in his body.

However, the fact that his body could tolerate the cold sparked some curiosity in Mingyan.

There seemed to be some kind of light source at the bottom of this cold pool. The entire pool was extremely clear and illuminated by the light source below, which made Mingyan very curious about what was down there.

When he arrived, his senior sister had mentioned that the bottom of the cold pool led to an unknown destination, which gave Mingyan the idea to explore it.

Mingyan thought this way and naturally did it, but he was quickly dissuaded. He had just descended a little when he felt the water temperature drop sharply again. He couldn't withstand it at all, so he gave up the idea of ​​diving.

However, the colder the water temperature, the heavier the yin energy. With this discovery, Mingyan began to slowly move closer to the depths. As long as his physical body could endure it, he would dive to even deeper places.

Cultivators can breathe underwater without worrying about suffocation.

However, as he continued his cultivation, Mingyan sensed a familiar presence in the cave. His senior sister had arrived? Mingyan surfaced and immediately saw... his master standing by the water's edge?!

Yue Wuxia had arrived at the edge of the pool at some point, standing with her hands behind her back, calmly looking at him.

"Master?" Mingyan quickly climbed out of the pool and bowed to Yue Wuxia.

Yue Wuxia frowned slightly, then waved her hand, "Put your clothes on first."

"Oh...right, right, right." Mingyan then realized that he wasn't dressed yet.

Mingyan had been soaking in the water for a while and had gotten used to the feeling of not wearing clothes, so the feeling of suddenly putting on clothes was really a bit strange.

"Master, what brings you here?" Mingyan asked after he finished dressing.

Yue Wuxia was still dressed the same, in a light blue Taoist robe, spotless. Except for a few wrinkles caused when Mingyan hugged her, the robe was always neat and tidy, quite form-fitting, perfectly showcasing Yue Wuxia's figure. Mingyan was somewhat afraid to look directly at her. Sometimes he felt it was better for his master not to reveal his true face or form, to remain hidden in the mist, at least he could keep an eye on her. Now... there wasn't a single suitable spot to focus his gaze on his master.

"Let's see how your cultivation is going," Yue Wuxia said calmly.

"It went quite smoothly. The yin energy in this pool is indeed very strong, which is extremely suitable for my cultivation," Mingyan said somewhat embarrassedly.

Yue Wuxia nodded gently. "Your senior sister is waiting for you outside. Go and forge the weapon with her."

Mingyan nodded, intending to leave with Yue Wuxia, but then realized that his master didn't seem to intend to leave. A thought struck him: Did his master want to take a bath? With that thought, Mingyan quickened his pace and left the cave.

Outside the cave, Yue Qingying stood there gracefully. When she saw Ming Yan come out, she smiled sweetly and said, "You've arrived? Junior brother, I'll take you to the place where our holy land forges weapons."

As Mingyan approached, Yue Qingying reached out her jade-like hand and took his hand in hers.

Sometimes Mingyan felt a little strange. After all, they were not young anymore. Although they were senior and junior brothers, and he treated his senior sister as family and as an older sister, and she treated him as a younger brother, the feeling of holding hands... it wasn't that it was bad, but it was a little subtle. But if his senior sister was willing to hold his hand, then so be it. Others wouldn't even be able to hold hands.

On the way, Yue Qingying and Ming Yan talked about the things to pay attention to when forging weapons.

Mingyan currently possesses two materials: Dragon Tendon and Netherworld Immortal Gold.

Only after being imbued with Mingyan's aura can the two originally incredibly sturdy objects have the potential to be forged into weapons by Mingyan. Otherwise, even with Mingyan's cultivation level and extremely powerful forging techniques, it would be difficult to mold them into weapons that meet his expectations.

Within the Holy Land of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, there is a place specifically for forging weapons, where a True Sun Fire, which has existed since the founding of the sect, is enshrined.

This was brought back by the then Moonshadow Empress herself and bound to the Wind Spirit Moonshadow Holy Land.

The True Fire of the Sun is the essence of fire extracted from the sun in the sky. It has no temperature, but it is the best fire in the world for refining weapons.

Obtaining the True Fire of the Sun is not easy, but once obtained, it can be used indefinitely. The True Fire of the Sun is inexhaustible and will never go out. Since then, it has been used to forge countless weapons for the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land.

Even the special imperial artifacts held by Empress Moonshadow and King Wind Spirit were forged from the true fire of the sun.

The True Fire of the Sun? Hearing this name stirred something within Mingyan.

As a human king, he was quite sensitive to the terms "yin" and "yang," and wondered if the true fire of the sun had any connection with the human king's body.

The existence of the True Sun Fire is not a secret. In fact, it is not only the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land that has the True Sun Fire. Although it is not easy to obtain the True Sun Fire, once obtained, it can be used indefinitely. Other supreme figures have also sought out the True Sun Fire for their own lineages, so the True Sun Fire is not rare.

In this world, finding suitable materials is difficult; turning materials into good weapons is not.

However, Mingyan had a great opportunity. He obtained the Dragon Tendon, and Yue Wuxia found the Tongyou Immortal Gold for him. All he had to do was refine the two items into his own weapon.

The weapon-forging area is located below the Trial Peak between the Wind Spirit Academy and the Wind Spirit Academy. There is a canyon here, where you can see bright firelight, but you can't feel any temperature.

"Senior sister, is the flame in this valley the true fire of the sun?" Mingyan asked.

"Okay, you can start refining now." Yue Qingying nodded.

Mingyan found no connection between the True Fire of the Sun and the Human King Body. It seemed he had guessed wrong. This fire bore the name of "Sun" but had no solar energy... Mingyan shook his head, summoned the Netherworld Immortal Gold and Dragon Tendon, and began forging his weapon.

The forging process is somewhat tedious, and this step is only for shaping. Weapons used by cultivators also need to be inscribed with other things such as laws to help the weapon grow, so that it will become stronger and stronger with continuous use.

After nearly a day, Mingyan held the bow back forged from Tongyou Immortal Gold and gently pulled the bowstring forged from dragon tendons. He could hear a clear, ringing sound, like a dragon's roar. He could only feel that his weapon was simple and unadorned, and he could not tell that it was forged from immortal gold and dragon tendons.

However, it can only be considered a semi-finished product at present, having only the form but not the meaning.

Mingyan transformed spiritual energy into an arrow, nocked it, aimed, and used all his strength to draw the bowstring taut. He then released the arrow, and it shot out of the sky with a deafening whooshing sound. Unstoppable, it pierced the sky and landed on a distant hill. The hill was then pierced through, leaving a huge hole. The arrow, after all, was just spiritual energy and dissipated into the world.

In an instant, the birds and beasts on the hill were terrified. Flocks of birds took flight, and ferocious beasts charged and fled in panic.

"The power is too strong..." Yue Qingying watched from the side and was also a little surprised. "This arrow will probably pierce through the Qi Sea and there will be no way to escape."

This arrow was too fast, beyond comprehension. It reached its destination almost the instant it was shot. Cultivators below the Qi Sea level had no chance to resist. Even Qi Sea cultivators would not want to take the arrow head-on and would choose to dodge it.

Mingyan lowered his hand, quite satisfied. The arrows made from spiritual energy were all like this. If he could find something else to make some better quality arrows, they would be even stronger.

Mingyan absorbed it into his Qi Sea and continued to nurture it. Then he smiled and said, "Now I have a weapon too. Shall I go and report to my master?"

"Oh, by the way, do you know that your master has appointed you as the Holy Son of the Wind Spirit?" In the past month, although Yue Qingying had come to see Mingyan many times, Mingyan was always immersed in cultivation, so Yue Qingying did not disturb him. Therefore, she had not had the opportunity to tell Mingyan about this matter.

Ming Yan was surprised to hear this. "Huh? I've been designated as the Holy Son of the Wind Spirit by my master?"

“That’s right.” Yue Qingying nodded, a smile on her beautiful face. “Now it’s much better. Our senior sister and junior brother, one is a saintess and the other is a saint son… are a perfect match.”

"Matching?" Mingyan felt the word was used strangely. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't raise any objections.

Fine, whatever my senior sister says goes.

Chapter 116 Master's Concern

Mingyan and Yue Qingying returned to the cave entrance where the cold pool was located. Yue Qingying stayed at the entrance, as it was extremely cold inside, and even she felt uncomfortable. She did not go in with Mingyan.

Mingyan stepped into the cave and soon found Yue Wuxia. She was sitting by the pool, her pretty face flushed, and her hair seemed to be slightly damp, as if she had just taken a bath.

"Master." Mingyan bowed and lowered his head. His master's pretty face was flushed, which was too tempting. Although her Taoist robe was neat and there was no sign of dishevelment, for Mingyan, his master's face was the greatest temptation.

"Hmm..." Yue Wuxia sounded slightly languid, not using her spiritual energy to evaporate the moisture from her body. "How's your weapon?"

“The forging is complete,” Ming Yan said, bowing his head. Then, after a moment’s thought, he added, “It’s stronger than I imagined.”

"That's good. Remember, you've only completed the weapon's initial design. To become a truly complete weapon, you still need to forge its intent, inscribe Dao patterns, and so on. All of these require serious attention. Such rare materials cannot be wasted." Yue Wuxia's tone remained the same as usual, without any emotional fluctuations. It was definitely not gentle, but Ming Yan found it very comfortable to listen to.

"Disciple understands." Mingyan nodded. "Then shall my disciple continue cultivating?"

"Let's continue." Yue Wuxia stood up, the dampness in her hair instantly disappearing, and the blush on her face gradually fading, as if she intended to leave.

Mingyan remembered something and asked, "Master, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Hmm? Just say it." Yue Wuxia stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, having just begun to take a step.

"Where does this cold pool lead? And why is there a light source below?" Mingyan asked.

Upon hearing this, Yue Wuxia looked at Ming Yan and said, "If you're curious, why not explore it yourself? Of course, don't force yourself. The deeper you go, the colder the water becomes, and you can't tolerate that temperature right now."

“Disciple understands,” Mingyan replied, bowing his head.

Yue Wuxia said nothing more and left the cave.

Without hesitation, Mingyan took off his clothes and jumped into the water to continue his cultivation.

As he absorbed the yin energy in the water, he entered his own dantian and observed the Tongyou Dragon Tendon Bow, which floated within it. It looked ancient and unadorned.

Mingyan reached out and beckoned it down, pondering what Dao patterns should be engraved on it.

Dao patterns can affect the quality of a weapon, making it more powerful...

But what kind of Dao patterns are best to engrave?

Mingyan thought for a moment and remembered the two symbols "?" and "#".

The question mark ("?") is definitely related to the Human King's Body, no doubt about it. But is the character "#" also related to the Human King's Body?
