[Li Lingyun paused, a trace of imperceptible worry flashing in his eyes. He said solemnly: "The Black Soul Palace is a mysterious and evil force. They take pleasure in devouring souls, and they destroy all lives wherever they go. It is said that they possess a method called "Soul-eating Technique" Their secret technique can extract a person's soul from the body and imprison it in a soul bottle to enhance their cultivation. Their palace is hidden deep in the dark place, surrounded by a thick atmosphere of darkness, as if even the sunlight can't Impenetrable. There, countless painful souls are wailing, and their voices are like needles piercing the ears, making people uneasy. 】
Li Lingyun frowned, thinking a lot. He turned his eyes to Anxiang beside him, and saw that her face was pale and her eyes were full of fear. Qianye asked with a trembling voice: "Why is the Black Soul Palace targeting us?"
Li Lingyun was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "We may have accidentally been involved in a conspiracy. As far as I know, the Black Soul Palace has been looking for a mysterious treasure that can completely overturn the balance of the continent. They may think that this treasure has something to do with us. There is some connection, so consider us a target.”
Hearing this, Anxiang's face turned even paler. She trembled: "Then what should we do now?"
Li Lingyun said: "We must step up our practice and improve our strength. Only by becoming stronger can we have a chance to escape from the hands of the Black Soul Palace, and one day even be able to completely eradicate this evil force. I know this is very difficult, but now The situation is urgent. We must rise up and face this challenge."
Li Lingyun's words made everyone feel heavy. They knew that Li Lingyun was telling the truth. In this world full of dangers, only strength is the most important. They must seize every minute and every second to improve their strength in order to have more chances of survival.
[Afterwards, everyone left the Star Soul Tower. They returned to Cloud Gate and everything seemed to be calm again. The disciples in Yunmen were still busy practicing, and no one noticed the difference between them. Li Lingyun, Anxiang, Qianye and others decided to conceal what happened to the Star Soul Tower to avoid causing unnecessary panic.
In the next few days, Li Lingyun has been practicing in the room, trying to improve his strength. He closed his eyes and crossed his legs, his heart sinking like water, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated like a trickle. Every breath is accompanied by the inhalation and exhalation of spiritual energy. The room was filled with a light fragrance, which was the calming incense that Li Lingyun lit to help calm his mind.
The sunlight shines through the window on Li Lingyun's face, forming mottled light and shadow. His face was slightly pale, but his eyes were bright. As his practice deepened, his body seemed to be integrated with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy that was originally difficult to absorb now poured into his body like a tide and turned into a powerful force.
In Li Lingyun's perception, he seemed to have turned into a small boat, floating in the ocean of spiritual energy. Sometimes it's calm, sometimes it's stormy. He needs to grasp every direction and steer the boat steadily forward. Every inhalation of spiritual energy is like a battle with the power of the ocean, and it is also a test of one's will.
After the practice, Li Lingyun left the room and came to the courtyard. He saw Cailing, Anxiang, Yunying, and Qianye sitting together, seemingly talking about something. He walked over curiously and asked, "What happened?" Cai Ling looked up at him, frowned and said, "Yunmen's financial operations have been in trouble recently, and we are discussing countermeasures." Li Lingyun was stunned for a moment. , he did not expect such a problem to arise in Yunmen. Cailing explained: "Yunmen's business has not been very good recently, and some disciples need to spend a lot of money to practice, which has caused Yunmen's funds to be tight." Anxiang also sighed and said, "We have been relying on Xingxing before. The income from the Soul Tower will be used to maintain the operation of Yunmen, but now it seems that the situation is not optimistic." Yunying and Qianye also nodded in agreement. Li Lingyun couldn't help but feel worried. He knew what Yunmen meant to disciples like them. He asked: "Then what do you think?" Cailing said: "We discussed it and planned to organize some disciples to go to nearby towns to do some tasks and earn some gold coins." Li Lingyun nodded and said: "This It's a good idea, but we need to ensure safety. In addition, I can also help find some business opportunities." Everyone felt a little warm after hearing this. They know that at this critical moment, only by uniting as one can we get through this difficult time.
Li Lingyun returned to the room, feeling unable to calm down for a long time. The news that Yunmen's funds were tight worried him deeply, and he knew he had to do something about it. So, he began to think about how to solve this problem. He thought of the precious materials he had obtained in the Star Soul Tower. These materials must be of high value in the market. He decided to sell these materials in exchange for some gold coins. Early the next morning, Li Lingyun took the materials to a nearby town. He came to a shop called "Baobuxuan" and asked the boss about the value of the materials.
The boss looked at the materials carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said, "These materials are very precious. I can sell them for two hundred gold coins." Li Lingyun was overjoyed because he didn't expect these materials to be so valuable. He returned to Yunmen with the gold coins and handed part of the gold coins to Cailing to solve Yunmen's financial problems. He planned to use the remaining gold coins to improve his strength and prepare for the next training.
Yunying said: "Just selling medicinal materials may not last long. The medicinal materials we have are limited after all."
Li Lingyun nodded, knowing that Yun Ying was telling the truth. If we want to truly solve Yunmen's economic problems, we cannot just rely on selling medicinal materials. He needed to find a more permanent solution.
As a result, Li Lingyun began to think about how to use his own advantages to create more wealth for Yunmen. After thinking about it, he finally came up with an idea. He decided to use his alchemy skills to refine some elixirs for everyone. These elixirs must be very popular in the market.
Li Lingyun's heart moved and he looked at Yunying. Yunying nodded slightly, agreeing with this idea. But Qianye next to him said: "There are many kinds of elixirs on the market of Tianyun College. What kind of elixirs should we refine to get profits as soon as possible?"
Li Lingyun knew that Qianye's words were true. There were a dazzling array of elixirs on the market. If he wanted to stand out among the many elixirs, he must have unique quality and effect. He thought for a moment and gradually came up with an idea.
"Let's refine some elixirs that can increase the speed of cultivation." Li Lingyun said, "Such elixirs are in urgent need of our disciples, and the market demand is also huge."
Everyone nodded after hearing this. They felt that Li Lingyun's idea was very practical and promising. Thus, a preparatory work for alchemy began.
Li Lingyun began to collect the materials needed for alchemy. He traveled throughout the nearby mountains and forests and collected some precious medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs. At the same time, he also asked someone to purchase some rare alchemy materials from further away. After preparing the materials, Li Lingyun began to refine the elixir. Relying on the alchemy skills he learned at Tianyun Academy, and after several days of hard work, he finally refined a batch of high-quality accelerated cultivation elixirs. These elixirs not only have unique effects, but also have long-lasting effects and are very popular among disciples. Li Lingyun took the elixir to the market for sale, and it was quickly sold out. As a result, Yunmen received a large amount of gold coin income, and the economic situation also improved significantly.
Li Lingyun did not stop, he knew that Yunmen still needed more wealth to maintain its operation. Therefore, he decided to further develop the potential of elixirs and innovate more types of elixirs. After countless experiments, he finally developed a mysterious elixir called "Lingmai Dan".
Spiritual Vein Pill, as the name suggests, can stimulate the power of the practitioner's spiritual veins and greatly increase the speed of cultivation. This discovery caused a sensation in the entire Tianyun Academy. Disciples rushed to buy it, and Yunmen's reputation also greatly increased.
However, Li Lingyun was not satisfied. He understood that if he wanted to develop for a long time, it was not enough to rely on just one elixir. Therefore, he discussed with Yunying, Qianye and others and decided to set up an elixir workshop to mass-produce various elixirs to meet market demand.
After the news of the establishment of the elixir shop spread, it attracted the attention of many customers. Not only the disciples of Yunmen rushed to buy it, but other forces and colleges also came to discuss cooperation. Li Lingyun and his partners are busy day and night, expanding sales channels and promoting the elixir to a wider market. As the business continues to grow, Cloud Gate's influence gradually increases. However, behind the success, Li Lingyun always remained vigilant. He understood that a big tree attracts wind, and the development of Yunmen will definitely attract the attention of some hostile forces. Therefore, he discussed with Yunying and Qianye and decided to strengthen the sect's security measures and increase vigilance to ensure the peace and long-term development of Yunmen.
In order to deal with possible risks, Li Lingyun began to formulate a series of defensive measures. He rearranged the sect's patrol system to ensure that every important area was guarded at all times. At the same time, he also strengthened the sect's intelligence network in order to grasp the trends of external forces in a timely manner. In addition, he also organized an emergency team composed of elite disciples to deal with sudden crises. The implementation of these measures has effectively guaranteed the safety of Cloud Gate. However, Li Lingyun did not relax his vigilance. He knows that only by staying alert at all times can the long-term and stable development of Cloud Gate be ensured. Therefore, he continued to lead the disciples of Yunmen, working hard to expand business, improve strength, and meet future challenges.
After a busy day, Li Lingyun sat alone on the roof. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, and the golden light reflected his resolute face. He took a deep breath of fresh air, looked at the distant sky, and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Thinking of his father's instructions, he understood that he shouldered the important task of revitalizing the family. His father's expectant eyes and the trust of his brothers became the driving force for him to move forward. He cannot live up to their expectations and must lead Yunmen to a more glorious future.
Li Lingyun clenched his fists, his eyes shining with determination. He stood up, braced himself, and prepared to face new challenges. The afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared into the sky, but his determination became stronger.
