Fire Cloud Pavilion.
The first floor of the pavilion was empty, with nothing. Following the stairs to the second floor, there are several more rows of wooden shelves, displaying stone tripods, stone urns, wood carvings and other common artifacts. On one side of the third floor, there are wooden couches, wooden cups, wooden tables and other objects, as well as a row of flower windows, overlooking the entire Fengyun Valley; on the other side, close to the stone wall, a two-foot-sized cave was dug, and the floor was paved. With straw mats and pearls embedded in the stone walls, it should be a quiet room used for retreat and practice.
No treasures collected by Nanshan were seen in the entire pavilion, and no secrets were found. However, the windows were spotless and had obviously been cleaned before his arrival.
Yu Ye was greatly disappointed.
Compared with the shabby and crude cave abode before, Huoyun Pavilion is quite spacious. After all, occupying a three-story pavilion alone can be regarded as having a place to live in the Valley of Wind and Cloud.
But it's still not satisfactory.
Yu Ye walked around and returned to the first floor of the pavilion.
There was a person waiting outside the door. When he noticed the movement, he bowed and saluted: "Uncle Yu!"
Yu Ye rolled his eyes, stood up slowly, then crossed his arms and said in a deep voice: "Zhan Kun, talk in the room!"
Zhan Kun was once an outer disciple, and they smashed rocks together by Jishui Lake.
But this man is stubborn and shrewd, so no one wants to associate with him. Now he has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, and has joined the Shenqi Hall, serving as a guard in Fengyun Valley. Who would have thought that he was guarding Huoyun Pavilion, so he became Yu Ye's disciple.
However, when he appeared, Yu Ye paid no attention to him, but he became extremely well-behaved and actually kept waiting outside the door.
"As you command!"
Zhan Kun nodded and smiled, then walked into the house.
The wooden door of the pavilion slammed shut, and a roar sounded——
"Sleepy!"
Zhan Kun stiffened and was stunned.
Yu Ye casually hit a few more restraints, then walked up to him calmly, put his two-finger sword technique against his eyebrows, and said coldly: "I have something unclear, please call me truthfully. If not, I'll kill you!"
Zhan Kun was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly.
"You bribed Mu Hu, the disciple in charge of Baichuan Hall, to sneak into the Immortal Sect, and then silenced Mu Hu, and took advantage of the chaos to kill the master who taught the martial arts, Xiang Xu. Although you can deceive others, you cannot deceive me."
Yu Ye said with a murderous look on his face: "Which immortal sect do you come from, who is entrusted by you, and what is your intention to lurk next to me now?"
"Unjustly accused!"
Zhan Kun, who has a simple and honest appearance and a strong body, actually said with a tearful voice: "My disciple has been interrogated by the master several times, and he was always innocent. However, Dang Guiyi had a grudge against his disciple and did not allow him to participate in the mountain patrol. Last year, he was Rushing to Fengyun Valley, who would have thought that my uncle would become the deacon of Huoyun Pavilion? This disciple is really unjust..."
Yu Ye poked his forehead with two fingers, urged him to use the sword technique, and said viciously: "You dare to talk nonsense, you are seeking death——"
Zhan Kun panicked, closed his eyes and howled: "Even if I die unjustly, there is nothing I can do!"
Yu Ye had no choice but to reach out and grab his veins. I wanted to explore his cultivation level, but couldn't help but hesitate, so I took off his storage ring and threw it on the ground angrily.
The ring only contains more than ten spiritual stones and two flying swords, as well as a few exercises, elixirs, talismans and other items.
The restraint dissipated and Zhan Kun's limbs regained their freedom. He hurriedly picked up the ring and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, uncle, for distinguishing right from wrong, and thank you for not killing me!"
"Who is your uncle? You sound annoyed!"
"Senior, Senior Yu!"
Yu Ye flicked his sleeves, and the closed wooden door opened with a bang.
He strode towards the door and said without any doubt: "I'm new here, show me around!"
"As you command!"
Zhan Kun hurried to the front and stretched out his hand to signal: "Senior Yu, please—"
Yu Ye walked outside the door, crossed his arms, then put his hands down behind his back, and let out a sigh of relief.
At that time, he found Zhan Kun's behavior suspicious and reported it to Mo Xiao, but due to insufficient evidence, the matter was ignored. But now that Zhan Kun is in his hands, he still can't find any flaws.
Did he make a mistake?
And since you can recruit disciples, why not recruit a few of your original friends to Huoyun Pavilion?
"Senior Yu, look at the clear water in this pool and the agile fish swimming around it. It's perfect for taking a break and enjoying the scenery..."
Just as the sun is rising, the wind is clear and the clouds are clear.
The skylight came through the gaps in the canopy of the trees, and the mottled shadows on the ground moved. Then there are ancient cypresses, ripples in the pool, happy fish, fresh flowers and plants, secluded stone paths, hidden pavilions, and the ubiquitous aura, making people feel relaxed and contented.
Zhan Kun also put away his disgusting face and became attentive and lively. He ran to the pool under the tree and told about the beauty of the scenery in Fengyun Valley. Yu Ye ignored it and walked straight towards the stone pavilion in the valley. He trotted ahead again and said separately——
"This is a teleportation array. It is laid out according to the five elements. It teleports thirty-six lands of the Five Kingdoms, all over the southeast, northwest and northwest of Qizhou..."
"You know everything."
"When this disciple first arrived at Fengyun Valley, he was guarding the formation here, so he heard a lot about it, haha!"
Yu Ye walked to the huge stone pavilion.
Each stone pavilion is guarded by a Qi refining disciple, and there are formation restrictions around it.
Zhan Kun greeted the guarding disciple, but no one paid him any attention either. He smiled and said: "Haha, this is the forbidden area of the Immortal Sect. Without the permission of the elders, not to mention the disciples, the seniors are not allowed to approach the formation without authorization!"
The five stone pavilions arranged in the direction of the five elements should be compared with the five kingdoms of Qizhou, but thirty-six additional formations were set up to facilitate communication between various places.
Needless to say, in order to deal with this dispute among the immortal sects, Yunchuan Peak has been secretly planning and preparing, and Xie Luozi's foresight and clever methods can be seen from this.
Yu Ye lingered in place for a moment, then turned and walked back.
"Yu...Yu senior——"
A thin figure came across the valley.
Angelica One.
While waving, he looked around and said, "Oh, Fengyun Valley really deserves its reputation, it's like a fairyland!"
"What's the matter?"
"I heard that you have moved, how could I miss your housewarming!"
Yu Ye smiled and walked towards Huoyun Pavilion.
He arrived at the house, found two straw mats from the storage iron ring, spread them on the ground, and said, "Sit down--"
Dang Guiyi and Zhan Kun then entered the house, wandered around one by one, and sat down obediently.
"Tsk tsk, it's really spacious. I'll ask Uncle Divination later to let me move here too so that my brothers won't be lonely!"
"presumptuous!"
"What presumption? You are a senior and a brother, how can you break your promise? Eh..."
Dang Guiyi discovered that it was not Yu Ye who scolded him, but someone else. He turned around and walked to Zhan Kun and said in surprise: "What are you doing here?"
"I am a disciple of Huoyun Pavilion..."
"Ouch——"
As soon as Danggui looked at Yu Ye, he jumped up and said: "Senior Yu, you don't take care of your brothers, but you recruit this guy into your family?"
Yu Ye shook his head, indicating that the matter had nothing to do with him.
After a meal, Angelica became emboldened. She held her waist with one hand, pointed to the door with the other, and said to Zhan Kun: "Get out——"
Zhan Kun snorted and said angrily: "This is not Qingxia Pavilion, you can't bully others!"
Danggui opened his eyes and said arrogantly: "I bullied you in Qingxia Pavilion, and I still bully you in Huoyun Pavilion. Believe it or not, I will drive you out of Fengyun Valley. Senior..."
"Senior Yu..."
The two people arguing were looking at Yu Ye.
Yu Ye waved his hand and said, "I'm talking to my brother, please stay out of the way!"
"Did you hear that? Haha!"
"As you command!"
Amid laughter, Zhan Kun walked out with a look of grievance.
However, Dang Guiyi felt refreshed, sat down on the spot, and suggested: "Senior, you should recruit a few close disciples so that you can be like an arm and a finger. Brothers, I will do my part. Mu Sha and Shang Xin have also known each other for many years. Hong Qiaoer, Li Yun, and Yu Xing are also considerate and considerate, oh my, I have a lot to look forward to in the future!"
He is looking forward to the future.
Yu Ye smiled noncommittally and asked, "Where are Mu Sha and Shang Xin?"
"There are rules in Shenqi Hall. Qi refining disciples are not allowed to enter the forbidden area of Fengyun Valley without permission. If not for Master Che Ju's permission, it would be difficult for me to come here. Wouldn't it be fun to recruit us as your disciples quickly?"
Dang Guiyi pointed to the upper floor and said excitedly: "The three-story pavilion can accommodate more than ten people."
Yu Ye was silent for a moment and shook his head.
Angelica Yi was surprised: "Why?"
…
Yu Ye settled down in Fengyun Valley.
He did not agree to Dang Guiyi's request.
There are no quiet years in this world.
Since returning to the Immortal Sect, he has fallen into an inexplicable uneasiness. Although he didn't know what would happen next, he didn't want to involve his few friends.
Yu Ye hides in a quiet room and practices every day.
He does not participate in the affairs of Shenqitang, and no one bothers him on weekdays. Even Angelica gradually stopped visiting because of Zhan Kun.
There is a cave next to Huoyun Pavilion, which is Zhan Kun's residence, but he stays in front of the pavilion all day long, as if he is doing his duty.
Before I knew it, months passed.
In the quiet room, Yu Ye exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.
A layer of spiritual stone debris fell beside him.
Now there is no shortage of spiritual stones. After practicing with peace of mind for a few months, his cultivation of the second level of foundation building has gradually reached perfection. Perhaps in another year or two, he can be promoted to the third level of foundation building.
This advancement is fast enough, but it is far slower than the Qi refining stage. Depending on the cultivation level, the perception of the realm and the spiritual energy required are also very different. Just like what Jiao Ying said, it takes ten years to build a foundation and a hundred years to build a foundation. The road to immortality is long and arduous.
Looking inside attentively, abundant energy is rushing through the body. The meridians become stronger and smoother, and the bones become stronger and stronger. In the sea of qi, the Jiao Dan was spinning quietly and flashing a faint yellow luster. There is cyan in the light yellow luster, and there is a layer of flowing white light surrounding the cyan.
As the mind moves, the energy in the body changes.
Yu Ye stretched out his right hand, and a bright white light suddenly appeared on his fingertips. Although the firelight was as weak as a bean, it glowed with a majestic power that burned the sky and destroyed the earth.
Really hot.
This is the true fire generated after cultivating the foundation.
Classics record that true fire comes from heaven and earth and is born from the three elements. It can refine yin and yang, transform the five elements, break life and death, and save reincarnation. All in all, it is very powerful. Real fire is indispensable for refining weapons and elixirs. There are many related exercises and books, which need to be studied and understood slowly in the future.
Yu Ye gathered his energy and the fire on his fingertips disappeared.
He was about to check the two monsters in the beast control ring when he suddenly heard someone outside the building say: "Yu Ye, you have been resting for half a year, it's time to go down the mountain..."
