This loud sound like a huge bell is not something that everyone can hear. Those with less experience can't feel anything, but from some of the reactions of the elders, we can guess something.
The movements at Xianlai Peak made everyone at the Xianyou Conference more and more curious, but no matter how strange it was, they could only endure it and it was not a good idea to spy on anything.
And as the sound like a huge bell passed, the heat of Xianlai Peak began to dissipate rapidly after a more violent short-term burst of three days, until the hot feeling of real fire was no longer there.
In the guest hall of Yunxia Garden, four people including Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the scene of mountains and rivers in Ji Yuan's artistic conception had faded, and the scenery in the guest hall of Yunxia Garden had returned to normal.
Although the immortal cultivation sect in Jiufeng Mountain was in a very serious situation due to the impact of the Samadhi True Fire, but from a material perspective, even the furniture in the living room did not have a single burn mark.
But these are secondary.
At this moment, in front of Ji Yuan, the old beggar, Ju Yuanzi and Zhu Tingtao, several silk threads were floating. These silk threads were crystal clear and flawless, with no impurities except the power of golden spirit. They were extremely condensed and even more flexible than before.
Ji Yuan reached out and took one of the balls of silk, and the other three also took one ball each and examined it carefully.
“Hehehe…”
Ju Yuanzi said without a smile.
"From now on, this method of refining silk will occupy a place among the spiritual objects of the gold element!"
"Not bad!" "Great!"
“As it should be!”
The other three also felt a great sense of accomplishment. This time they tried their hand at refining these balls of golden silk. This made the four of them look forward to refining treasures in the future and they were more confident. Moreover, there was a helper coming.
As he was speaking, Ji Yuan suddenly had an idea.
"The time is perfect. Mr. Ying will be here soon. Let's go and apologize to our Taoist friend from Jiufeng Mountain first, and then explain the matter to him in person!"
"Well, let's go together!"
The four of them stood up and stepped out of the living room of Yunxia Garden for the first time in more than a month.
At the same time, the Qingteng Sword wandering in the Xianlai Peak also turned into a sword light and flew back to Ji Yuan. The immortal sword itself was not afraid of the artistic conception brought by the Samadhi True Fire, but the Qingteng Sword did not return to Ji Yuan immediately when it came back, mainly because of the little paper crane.
If the little paper crane was hidden in the brocade bag in Ji Yuan's arms, it would not be afraid. But the current situation really frightened the crane. Its spiritual perception was very sharp, even better than that of ordinary immortal cultivators. It froze when it approached Xianlai Peak at that time, and the Qingteng Sword did not go back.
Seeing the magic sword flying back, Ji Yuan smiled and said nothing. He just took back the paper crane and put it in his arms before flying to the main peak of Jiufeng Mountain with the three of them.
For the cultivators of Jiufeng Mountain, there was nothing to be puzzled about. Anything could happen at such a grand gathering of the immortals. This year was relatively good. Since the spells cast by the masters of Xianlai Peak attracted a lot of attention, there were fewer disputes over the discussion of Taoism before the conference. At least, there were fewer fights than in previous years.
Moreover, the fact that Ji Yuan and others refined an incredible treasure added a mysterious touch to this Xianyou Conference, which was something Jiufeng Mountain was very happy to have.
So when Ji Yuan and others came to explain their purpose, the head of Jiufeng Mountain generously expressed his understanding, and also said that Xianlai Peak could be used as a place to refine weapons. He also readily agreed to let the old dragon enter Jiufeng Cave Heaven. After all, even if he was a demon in theory, the identity of a real dragon was equally noble.
As for what treasure they were refining, the four of them certainly didn't say anything. Firstly, they were immortal cultivators and liked to maintain a sense of mystery about their own magic treasures. Secondly, after all, they had not yet succeeded in refining it. In such an occasion, it would be somewhat embarrassing if they failed, so it was better not to say anything.
…
On this day, a Chilong hundreds of feet long appeared above the clouds outside the Jiufeng Cave.
“Roar——”
The dragon's roar resounded throughout the sky outside the Jiufeng Cave Heaven, and even reached Ruan Mountain. There were thunderclouds in the sky, and the dragon's roar sounded like thunder rolling in all directions. This was the old dragon notifying Ji Yuan that he had arrived.
Because of the dark clouds, the originally sunny Ruanshan Mountain became dim in an instant, and it looked like dark clouds covered the sky.
"Boom..."
Thunder flashed in the clouds, and through the lightning, a huge dragon shadow could be vaguely seen on the clouds.
Many immortal cultivators on the periphery were watching from afar in astonishment and fear. In Ruanshan Ferry below, there were also people flying in the sky or using their magic eyes to observe the sky in various ways.
"Dragon! This is definitely a dragon!" "Looking at its might, could it be a real dragon?"
"Hush... Don't be rash and don't make irresponsible remarks about the Lord of Shuize!"
"What is the real dragon doing here in Jiufeng Mountain? Doesn't he know what day it is?"
…
People who didn't know the situation were talking about it, but Ji Yuan, accompanied by an old monk from Jiufeng Mountain, had already left the cave with the old beggar and others to welcome the old dragon.
As soon as I came out of the cave, the originally blurry and distant scene outside appeared clearly in front of me. A Chilong hundreds of feet long was quietly floating above the clouds, its long dragon whiskers swaying slowly, and its pair of amber dragon eyes were like two huge bright lamps, staring at the phantom of Jiufeng Mountain.
This was also the first time that Ji Yuan saw the old dragon’s true form. His body was so huge, just like a mountain in the sky. Standing in front of the old dragon and looking at it, one had the illusion that the dragon’s body had no end in sight.
The strong sense of oppression from the real dragon shocked everyone's nerves.
"Mr. Ji, Ying Hong is here. Did you miss the weapon refining event?"
The old dragon's gaze was focused on his good friends Ji Yuan and others who had just left the cave. His voice was like rumbling thunder, and as soon as he opened his mouth, lightning flashed in the clouds.
“Boom…” “Crack… Boom…”
Ji Yuan calmed himself down and quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Not too late, not too late, Mr. Ying has arrived at the right time. Come with us to the Nine Peaks Cave Heaven. Well, you'd better collect this Chilong's true body, otherwise there will be no place for you to sit on the mountain."
“Hahahaha… hahahahaha… that’s true!”
Amid the Chilong's laughter mixed with the sound of thunder, the body of the real dragon shrank along with the lightning, and finally turned into an old man wearing a straight-breasted gown, which was Ying Hong's human body.
"Mr. Ji, and everyone else, Ying Hong greets you!"
"You don't have to be so polite, Lord Long!" "Hello, Lord Long!"
"See you again, Lord Long, you are still full of energy!"
"Greetings, Lord Dragon. Jiufeng Mountain welcomes Lord Dragon to visit us!"
The old beggar and others returned the greetings. Ju Yuanzi, who had been nervous, was slightly relieved to see that Lao Long was so easy-going. Their Yu Huaishan had a grudge against Lao Long in the past.
"Let's go. During this Xianyou Conference, we have the opportunity to use one of the peaks of Jiufeng Mountain as a place for refining weapons. We can use the Jiufeng Cave Heaven and Jiufeng Mountain Formation to isolate the Heavenly Dao and the external demons. We have the best time and place. Once the old gentleman comes, we have the best people. We can start now!"
As soon as the old dragon flew to Ji Yuan, the latter began to transmit the message in detail about refining the weapon and also described the process of refining the golden spirit silk one by one. The old dragon looked very excited after hearing this.
After entering the Jiufeng Cave Heaven, the five people could no longer wait and flew back to Yunxia Garden again. Even though they knew that the Xianyou Conference would officially begin in five days, they were still focused.
To the old beggar and others, the Fairy Tour Conference was not that rare and was not as important as refining treasures. On the contrary, Ji Yuan and Lao Long felt it was a pity.
In Ji Yuan's opinion, the ceremony five days later would be like an opening ceremony, which might be quite exciting. However, Lao Long had only heard of the Xianyou Conference but had never seen the actual event. However, all this was not as important to the two of them as refining treasures.
In the Yunxia Garden on Xianlai Peak, still in the guest hall, Ji Yuan, Ying Hong, Lu Niansheng, Ju Yuanzi and Zhu Tingtao were sitting on five cushions respectively. Each of them had a long and flowing aura of Taoism. Several kinds of five-element spiritual objects were floating in front of them, and the one suspended in the center was the special golden rope.
"Ji is in charge of Samadhi True Fire, Mr. Ying is in charge of Sunflower Water Golden Scales, Mr. Lu is in charge of Mountain God Stone, Taoist friend Ju is in charge of Golden Spirit Silk, and Taoist friend Zhu is in charge of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder. This completes all five elements."
"Wonderful!" "Very wonderful!"
…
At this moment when his aura was fully revealed, Lao Long could tell the superiority and inferiority of everyone present at a glance.
"Yes, in addition to Ji Yuan, the True Immortal, the other three are also impressive. One is a True Dragon and the other is a True Immortal. They control the two poles of water and fire, and hide the two poles of yin and yang in the Samadhi True Fire. It's amazing!"
Ji Yuan glanced at everyone and gave a final reminder.
"The golden silk has reached perfection. The Samadhi Fire and Heavenly Tribulation Thunder do not need to be refined. We will start with the earth and water. Once everything is complete, it will be time to refine the treasure. Everyone, let's get started!"
"Attack together!"
Xianlai Peak, which was still peaceful the moment before, was then shot with several rays of magical light rising into the sky the next moment, causing the forbidden formation of Xianlai Peak itself to unfold, trapping the changes inside.
Under such circumstances, five days later, the Immortal Tour Conference officially began, and immortal cultivators from all over the world gathered at Tiandao Peak of Jiufeng Mountain.
However, when the immortals fly away in the dazzling immortal light, many eyes will be turned towards Xianlai Peak, even those of the most powerful masters.
In a bamboo pavilion in a quiet courtyard on Qidao Peak, Jiang Xueling was stirring the teacup in front of him with a bamboo stick, as if this would make the tea taste better.
The long hairband should have been dragged on the ground, but without any magical powers or spells, although it kept swaying with Jiang Xueling's body movements, it was always half an inch off the ground.
Outside the pavilion, a female cultivator from the Weimei Sect came hurriedly over. She felt angry and amused at the same time when she saw this scene from afar, and wondered who was the elder.
"Grandmaster~! Why are you still here? The Immortal Tournament is about to begin. We should go to Tiandao Peak!"
Jiang Xueling paused, raised his head, a hint of surprise on his face, and then looked towards Xianlai Peak in the distance.
"Hmm? Didn't the Xianyou Conference... start a long time ago..."
