Seeing the conflicted expressions on Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu's faces.

Ling Yun explained:

"When you go down, use your martial spirit to protect your body. Both the Divine Phoenix and the Phoenix are fire-type lords, and they really like fire-type energy."

"Hurry up and get down!"

"good!"

Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu gritted their teeth and left Ling Yao and the little white fox to A Bao and Shangguan Hong.

Then he summoned his martial spirit to protect himself and jumped into the lava pool.

Soon, joyful phoenix cries echoed from the lava pool.

"Brother is right, I can feel the excitement of my Martial Soul!"

"Yes, it feels so comfortable to take a shower here!"

The two felt the comfort of fire energy entering their bodies.

Ling Yun shook his head and smiled, "You two aren't going for a bath, hurry up and collect the Fire Cloud Stones!"

However, the two of them really enjoyed the feeling of soaking in the lava pool, especially since the continuous flow of fire energy cleansed away impurities from their meridians.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yanran felt a powerful energy within her body, on the verge of exploding.

"Lingyun, I'm about to break through to the next level!"

Absorbing the immense fire energy, her martial soul began to advance, and Xiao Yanran was about to break through her cultivation level as well.

Ling Yun quickly said:

"Suppress it. It's not time to break through now. Your realm is rising too fast, and your foundation is easily unstable. Use the mental cultivation method I told you to suppress your realm!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yanran obediently did as she was told.

An hour later, the lava pool gradually extinguished, and the fire energy was completely absorbed by Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran.

The two of them also stored all 10,000 catties of fire cloud stone into their spatial rings.

Xiao Yanran placed the spatial ring in Ling Yun's hand with a look of delight.

"I'm really looking forward to the divine weapon you'll forge for us!"

Ling Yun smiled and said:

"Rest assured, you will be absolutely satisfied."

Then, the group walked out of the cave.

"Master, it was they who beat me!"

Just as Ling Yun and the others emerged from the cave, Yuan Lin arrived with the inner sect elders and over a hundred inner sect disciples.

The inner sect elders were stunned the moment they saw Ling Yun, feeling as if they had seen him somewhere before.

At this moment, Yuan Lin, his face bruised and swollen, pointed at Ling Yun and angrily said:

"Kneel down and apologize to me right now, and hand over the Fire Cloud Stone voluntarily, or you'll be reporting to the underworld!"

Ling Yun stared at Yuan Lin quietly, as if he were an idiot.

Unable to bear Ling Yun's gaze, Yuan Lin angrily said:

"If you keep looking at me like that, believe me, I'll kill you right now!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the inner sect elder.

“Master, these people are too arrogant. I know you need the Fire Cloud Stone, so I've been guarding this place, but these people still insist on trying to steal it.”

Even after I revealed the name of the Ziyang Sect, they still attacked me and called the Ziyang Sect trash.

Can you tolerate this?

The inner sect elder's expression immediately darkened, his eyes flashing with a cold light and radiating a powerful pressure as he looked at Ling Yun and said:

"This elder does not kill nameless ghosts. State your name!"

Ling Yun spoke calmly:

"Lingyun!"

"Hmph! Ling Yun is so arrogant, he even puts my Ziyang Sect in his eyes! Master, you must punish them severely!"

Yuan Lin said with a face full of resentment.

However, he didn't notice the look of horror on the inner sect elder's face.

"You...you are Ling Yun? The Ling Yun who almost destroyed the Spirit Sword Sect, slaughtered 100,000 martial artists, and forced the Falling Cloud Sect to close its gates for a hundred years?"

Ling Yun smiled but didn't say anything.

Yuan Lin said nonchalantly:

"Master, he's just bluffing. You should teach him a lesson!"

Snap!

The inner sect elder slapped Yuan Lin hard across the face.

"You damned bastard, of all people to mess with, you had to pick on this killing god!"

Yuan Lin covered his face and said aggrievedly:

"Master, is this Ling Yun really that powerful?"

Snap!

The inner sect elder slapped him again.

"Kneel down and apologize to Fellow Daoist Ling! Otherwise, this elder will have to expel you from the sect!"

Hiss~

Yuan Lin gasped in shock; he realized his master wasn't joking.

He quickly knelt down in front of Ling Yun.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, I apologize. I was blind to your greatness and offended you. Please don't hold it against me."

The inner sect elder standing to the side cupped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ling, it's all my fault for not disciplining you properly. I apologize to you!"

Seeing that the inner sect elder had a good attitude, Ling Yun did not intend to pursue the matter.

"Okay, you can leave now!"

"Farewell, Fellow Daoist Ling. I look forward to discussing Dao with you at the Ziyang Sect sometime!"

With that, the inner sect elder immediately led his men away.

On the way, Yuan Lin said indignantly:

"Master, is this Ling Yun really that powerful? You treat him with great deference!"

The inner sect elder sighed and said leisurely:

"Anyone who offended him was either wiped out or nearly wiped out."

There must be some unimaginable force protecting him in the shadows. Otherwise, do you think I, as his master, would be wary of a weakling at the third level of Martial Soul Realm?

As the Ziyang Sect members left, the hidden martial artists retreated one after another.

They originally planned to wait for Ling Yun to come out and plunder the Fire Cloud Stone, but seeing that the people of the Ziyang Sect didn't dare to do anything to Ling Yun, they immediately gave up the idea of ​​plundering.

After everyone left, Lingyun looked at Abao:

"Go and hunt some game; Little White Fox and Ling Yao are getting hungry!"

"Okay, brother!" Ah Bao obediently went hunting.

Shangguan Hong immediately followed, "Brother Bao, let's go together!"

"Brother Bao, wait for us!"

The little white fox and Ling Yao followed along eagerly.

They wanted to give Ling Yun, Xiao Yanran, and Yan Ruyu a chance to be alone together.

At this moment, Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu looked at each other, their faces showing a hint of embarrassment.

Ling Yun chuckled, "Ahem~ I'll use this free time to forge weapons for you."

As he spoke, Ling Yun walked to a tree, sat down cross-legged, and took out the Refining Heaven Cauldron.

He then cut off four thousand catties of fire cloud stone, divided it into four pieces, and threw them into the Heaven Refining Cauldron.

The Heaven-Refining Cauldron possesses terrifying smelting power, capable of forging weapons to be incredibly hard.

Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran gathered around and squatted down to look at the Refining Heaven Cauldron.

Ling Yun pointed to the four fire cloud stones inside the cauldron, silently chanting an incantation.

Unseen streams of law power surged into the Fire Cloud Stone.

Soon the fire cloud stone condensed into the shape of two swords, a spear and a silver crescent blade.

Although it was not fully formed, Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu could already feel the vigorous spiritual power emanating from the weapon.

Her pretty face was full of anticipation, knowing that once it was finished, it would surely be a terrifying divine weapon.

Before long, the four weapons inside the cauldron gleamed.

Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu were surprised to find that they seemed to have some kind of connection with the divine weapon inside the cauldron.

I seemed to hear a voice that sounded like that of a spirit.

Ling Yun explained with a smile:

"I have merged your two thoughts into the divine weapon, and it has already generated a weapon spirit. As long as you nurture it properly, your divine weapon will become stronger and stronger."

Spirit!

The two stunningly beautiful women showed expressions of shock, as there were very few weapons with spirits in the entire Golden Cloud Continent.

Sure enough, following Ling Yun meant he was well-fed nine times a day.

"Ling Yun, thank you so much~" Xiao Yanran said to Ling Yun with a grateful expression.

Ling Yun looked up at her and teased:

What did you call me?
