Then he pointed at Chen Yun and said, "This fellow Daoist Chen is an overseas independent cultivator. His magical powers are truly amazing and extraordinary."

Finally, he looked at Bai Yaoyi and gave a brief introduction.

When they heard the old man surnamed Fu praising Chen Yun's amazing magical powers, the big man and Bai Yaoyi's eyes flashed with surprise, and they looked at Chen Yun at the same time.

When Chen Yun heard this, he was startled at first, then frowned slightly and said:

"You are really overpraising me, fellow Daoist. My cultivation is mediocre, and I really don't know where this amazing supernatural power comes from."

He remained calm on the surface.

The old man surnamed Fu said meaningfully:
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have to hide it anymore. I have heard that not only did you kill the early Nascent Soul stage old man Xiao in one fell swoop in Jinjing, but also after the underground trade fair, you killed the notorious Evil Fire Monk in a single encounter."

"Your cultivation is so profound that there is no need to say more."

When the big man surnamed Yuan heard the news that "Evil Fire Monk was killed by Fellow Daoist Chen", his face changed drastically, he turned his head abruptly, and stared at Chen Yun closely.

Bai Yaoyi also turned her bright eyes at this time, and there was also a hint of horror in her eyes.

In the mysterious world of cultivating immortals, a beautiful woman in black seemed to know some secrets but acted very calmly.

Chen Yun smiled bitterly, looking helpless, and said slowly:

"Brother Fu, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. When I was in Jinjing, I did kill an ignorant Yuanying early stage cultivator."

"However, the notorious Evil Fire Monk was not dealt with by me, but by someone else."

"Look, fellow Daoist. I am just an unknown casual cultivator. How can I possess such a heaven-defying ability?"

When the old man surnamed Fu heard this, his expression eased a little, but he said with a half-believing tone:
"Another monk? I have heard that there were two monks with similar looks who confronted the Evil Fire Monk together."

"Could it be that it wasn't you, my friend, who took action at that time?"

Chen Yun gently stroked his chin, his expression indifferent, and said slowly:
"Brother Fu really overestimates me. If I really had the ability to kill a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul instantly, why would I have avoided those people from the Yinluo Sect in the first place?"

"You can leave openly. Who would dare to stop you?"

The old man surnamed Fu nodded slightly and said:

"What you said makes sense. Although the old man Xiao's cultivation is not very high, he is a very cunning person and is proficient in several strange escape techniques."

"You were able to kill it, it's not something that ordinary people can do."

After a pause, the old man surnamed Fu continued:

"I heard that a cultivator killed the Evil Fire Monk that day. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen knows the person who did it? Could it be one of those great cultivators from overseas who don't come out to the world?"

"Alas, this kind of situation where one reaches the late stage of cultivation but is not well-known only occasionally occurs in overseas places."

After saying this, the old man surnamed Fu showed a look of surprise on his face, and seemed to be quite interested in what happened that day related to the ancient demon.

The big man surnamed Yuan listened quietly at the side, and suddenly asked:
"I heard about something. Just after the Jinjing auction ended, a two-headed, four-armed monster that looked like a ghost appeared not far from the underground trade fair."

"This demon is so ferocious that it devoured several Nascent Soul cultivators on its own."

"It is said that if a great monk who was in charge of the trade fair had not scared away the monster, those monks would have died on the spot. Brother Chen, have you ever experienced this?"

Chen Yun shook his head slightly and responded calmly:
"The monk who killed the evil fire monk and I have only met a few times, so we cannot say that we have a deep relationship."

"As for the monster incident, it must have happened after I left. I really know nothing about it."

The old man surnamed Fu chuckled a few times, seeming to feel sorry for not being able to find that fellow Taoist.

The big man surnamed Yuan showed doubt.

Bai Yaoyi reminded the old man surnamed Fu that since he had invited everyone here many years ago, it was time to reveal some details.

The old man surnamed Fu expressed his understanding and thought that this matter was extremely important. He suggested setting up the restrictions first and then discussing it in detail.

He then cast a spell and placed restrictions around him. A dark green flame shot out and turned into green mist and dissipated.

Chen Yun felt the fluctuation of the restriction in the nearby space. Although he didn't know its nature, seeing the old man surnamed Fu perform such means so easily, he couldn't help but have a higher evaluation of the old man surnamed Fu's cultivation level.

Before the ban, Chen Yun, Bai Yaoyi and the big man all conducted investigations through their spiritual senses.

The old man's solemn attitude aroused their interest. The old man surnamed Fu took a deep breath and said:
"In fact, I have been planning this matter since thirty years ago. Now the time is ripe, so I would like to invite a few Taoist friends to discuss this matter. I wonder if you have heard of the ancient miracle medicine Peiying Dan?"

Bai Yaoyi and the big man knew nothing about this elixir and looked confused. However, Chen Yun's expression moved slightly, as if he remembered something.

"Why, Chen You knows about this elixir?"

The big man couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yun said slowly:

"I do know a little, but not much. This infant-cultivating pill is said to be the spiritual medicine of an ancient sect in the wild times."

"Taking this pill can bring great benefits to Nascent Soul cultivators and help them break through their cultivation bottlenecks. For Nascent Soul cultivators, it can be called a magical pill."

"It's just that this sect lost its inheritance as early as the end of the wilderness, and the recipe has long been lost. Few people in the current cultivation world know about this elixir."

If he was not a master of alchemy and well-versed in ancient books, he would never have known about this elixir.

The big man and Bai Yaoyi were surprised when they heard what Chen Yun said. The big man asked the old man eagerly:

"Brother Fu, you mentioned this now. Do you know the whereabouts of this elixir?"

It should be noted that after a cultivator advances to the Nascent Soul stage, those methods, elixirs and other items that are helpful in breaking through the bottleneck are regarded as treasures by Nascent Soul cultivators even in ancient times.

It’s just that these things are rare, and once they are obtained by the owners, most of them will keep it a secret, and even their closest relatives will not easily reveal a single thing.

As time goes by, many of these treasures have either been lost or are no longer applicable due to the huge changes in the environment for cultivating immortals.

In today's world of cultivating immortals, except for a few legendary rare objects, if Nascent Soul cultivators want to break through the bottleneck, they can only rely on some elixirs that improve their cultivation.

Therefore, when the big man heard about the efficacy of Peiying Pill, he couldn't help but get excited.

"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Chen to actually know about this pill. This really surprised me. Yes, this matter is indeed related to that pill. I got the formula of the infant-cultivating pill more than a hundred years ago."

The old man surnamed Fu said with a proud look on his face.

"Brother Fu, do you really have this recipe?" The big man clasped his hands together, a hint of red glow appeared on his dark cheeks, and his eyes were full of ecstasy.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yaoyi and Chen Yun looked at each other, unable to hide the joy on their faces.

"Yes, I do have this recipe, and I am also proficient in the art of alchemy. As long as the materials are complete, there will be no problem in refining the infant-cultivating pill."

The old man surnamed Fu nodded in response with a firm tone.

"Why? From Brother Fu's tone, it seems that materials are difficult to collect. Did you call us here just for this matter?" Chen Yun raised his eyebrows and asked in a serious tone.

"Brother Chen is indeed very smart. If it weren't for the lack of a main ingredient, I would have been able to refine the infant-cultivating pill many years ago."

"This time, it is precisely for this ingredient that I hope to seek help from all of you Taoists." The old man surnamed Fu explained.

"So many years have passed, and even an elder of the Jiuyou Sect has not been able to obtain this alchemy material. It seems that this thing is indeed hard to find." Bai Yaoyi said with a frown.

"It's more than hard to find. I thought it had long been extinct in the human world, and even considered the formula for the infant-cultivating pill to be useless."

"I never thought that traces of this thing would appear again. That's when I thought of refining this pill again."

The old man surnamed Fu smiled bitterly, with a hint of helplessness and expectation in his tone.

The big man surnamed Yuan urged impatiently, "Brother Fu, stop beating around the bush. Just tell me what the materials you need are."

"The flesh and blood of the Diyinzhi horse!" the old man answered calmly and frankly.

Hearing this, Chen Yun was slightly startled, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice:

"Yinzhi horse? This kind of spiritual creature is extremely rare in the human world. Where did you find it, fellow Taoist?"

Bai Yaoyi and the big man looked at each other, and both showed a hint of confusion and puzzlement.

Seeing this, the old man raised a mysterious smile and said slowly:
"Originally, I thought that this spiritual creature no longer existed in this world."

"However, by chance, thirty years ago, I accidentally discovered the trace of Yin Zhima, and it was in a secret place somewhere in the southern border."

After saying this, an unfathomable look appeared on the old man's face.

After a fellow Taoist found the Yinzhima's lair, he invited everyone to help him. He seemed to have encountered a difficult problem. The man surnamed Yuan asked first:
"Since you have already found the Yinzhi horse's lair, why do you still need our help?"

The old man surnamed Fu explained that although Yin Zhima's whereabouts were unpredictable and he was good at hiding, he was able to capture it if given enough time.

However, the lair of this spirit creature is located in the Yin-Yang Cave of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, a place he cannot go deep into.

In addition, the Yin Zhi horse was extremely alert and only wandered around the entrance of the cave, never taking a single step out of the cave, which made the old man surnamed Fu helpless for decades.

When the "Yin Yang Cave" was mentioned, everyone was shocked. Bai Yaoyi's face suddenly changed, and Chen Yun, as an overseas cultivator, was still unfamiliar with this place and couldn't help asking for details.

Bai Yaoyi then explained that the Yin-Yang Cave is one of the seven forbidden areas recognized by the Great Jin Dynasty. It is a dangerous place from which there would be no return for ordinary cultivators once they enter.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun's curiosity was aroused, and he further asked what was so special about the Yin-Yang Cave.

The name of the Yin-Yang Cave implies that once you enter, you will be separated from the Yin and Yang. The wind howls in the cave all year round, which is terrifying. Even if a Yuanying cultivator is caught in it, his soul will be immediately scattered and he will be reincarnated.

This place is located in the land of Xuanyin, where Yin energy gathers and breeds all kinds of ferocious and abnormal ghosts.

If a living person steps into this place, even if he can resist the invasion of the evil wind, he will inevitably be torn into pieces by ghosts.

The old man surnamed Fu explained to Chen Yun.

"Not only that."

The big man added,
"The Yin-Yang Cave is thousands of feet deep underground, with numerous passages of all sizes crisscrossing inside. There were cultivators who were lucky enough to reach the bottom, but they were never able to explore its entirety."

"In that kind of environment, once the spiritual consciousness is released from the body, it will be blocked by the cold wind, just like a mortal."

"There are even rumors that a powerful ghost king hides deep in the cave, but no one has ever confirmed it."

"In short, even great monks are reluctant to set foot here easily."

Apart from low-quality mineral veins, nothing valuable had been found in the cave.

Everyone thought it was an abandoned super mine from ancient times, and no one had ever really gone deep into it.

However, Brother Fu discovered the Yinzhi horse in the cave, which suggests that the Yin-Yang Cave may have other mysteries and is worth exploring.

Brother Fu has been searching for many years but has not been able to catch Yin Zhima, which shows that this cave is extremely dangerous.

Even if there are treasures in the cave, you still need to be alive to get them. Chen Yun has been to many dangerous places such as Xutian Palace and Zhuimo Valley, and he knows the dangers and warns people directly.

The old man surnamed Fu prepared for decades and refined several treasures to restrain ghosts, and brought the Purple Nether Pearl, one of the three treasures of the Jiuyou Sect.

He expressed confidence that with this pearl, although they could not completely resist the terrifying dark wind, it could weaken its power by nearly half, and the few people should be safe.

The old man surnamed Fu spoke slowly, with a tone of confidence and expectation:
"Everyone, we have made thorough preparations, and with the full support of the three fellow Taoists, even if we face a powerful ghost king, the five of us will be able to deal with it together."

"Once I capture the Yinzhi horse, I will immediately use this spiritual creature to refine the infant-cultivating pill and ensure that every fellow Taoist can get one."

"This pill is a one-time spiritual medicine for cleansing the marrow and changing the classics. No matter how many can be refined, each person can only take one pill."

"Please rest assured, I have no ill intentions. As for what you can get down there, it depends on your luck."

After hearing this, Chen Yun and the other two remained silent.

Even the man who had been the most excited before, was now lost in thought.

Bai Yaoyi lightly pulled up her black hair in front of her forehead and asked calmly:
"Since Brother Fu has such complete preparations, why do you still need to look for the three of us?"

"As one of the ten great demon sects, your sect should not have difficulty finding a few cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage."

When this question was asked, Chen Yun's expression changed slightly, and the big man also stared at the old man surnamed Fu's face. Both of them seemed to be very concerned about how the old man would respond to this question.

The old man's face darkened, and his tone revealed an unquestionable determination:

"Seeking help from within the sect? It may be feasible for others, but for me, this is a dead end."

"In the past, due to a dispute within the sect, I had conflicts with many cultivators of the same level. Only Junior Sister Chang kept in touch with me."

"The rest of them are probably hoping that I will die soon. Even if they are willing to help me on the surface, I can't guarantee that they won't cheat behind my back."

When he said this, a hint of anger flashed in the old man's eyes.

Chen Yun was stunned when he heard this.

These words are nothing short of an unsolved mystery, and it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false.

However, seeing that the other party had made such a statement, everyone had no choice but to give up and stop asking questions, and the atmosphere fell into silence again.

Bai Yaoyi lowered her head slightly, pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said:

"Breaking into the Yin-Yang Cave is a serious matter and requires careful consideration. How about this? I will give you a clear answer in three days."

The old man surnamed Fu smiled slightly, and with a flick of his sleeves, a burnt yellow paper page burning with black flames appeared in front of everyone. (End of this chapter)
