Yinfeng Mountain is what the local mountain people call it because the climate here is extremely cold and gloomy. The deeper you go into the mountains, the creepier it gets, so no one wants to get close.

Within the Shangqing Sect of Mount Shu, there is no record of this mountain - of course, most of the thousands of hills within the territory of Mount Shu also have no records.

However, in this Yinfeng Mountain, there is a Xuanyin Cave hidden.

The so-called Xuanyin, which is the fusion of water and true yin, is also a rare wonder in the world of cultivation.

Since many water-based magic techniques must be guided by the Xuanyin Qi, the Shushan high-level officials have kept the whereabouts of this cave strictly secret. Otherwise, once it is leaked, no matter how heavily you guard it, there will be demon monks who will take the risk and come to look for the trace of the Xuanyin Cave.

Su Jian brought Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu to a deep valley and landed in front of a narrow gap in the mountain.

"The Xuanyin Cave is in the gap of this mountain." Su Jian said, "I'll guard outside, Su'er, you take Qingheng in."

Ling Yunpo looked carefully at the gap in the mountain and saw gurgling water above his head and a stream flowing along the stone wall, making the cave extremely cold.

Such a damp and cold cave, even if someone happened to pass by, they would definitely not want to take the risk to go in and explore. No wonder it has not been discovered by the outside world until now.

Compared to this matter, what to do with the Dragon Blood Pill is something that needs to be decided as soon as possible.

Ling Yunpo's original plan was to take the Dragon Blood Pill and then claim that the medicinal power was absorbed by the Taiyin Suming Sword, which led to the failure of his cultivation to increase.

The Taiyin Suming Sword is a divine sword, so it is not surprising that it can do anything. Therefore, this lie has a high probability of being successful... The only problem is that a precious dragon blood pill was directly wasted, which is such a pity.

You should know that this dragon blood only has miraculous effects on human cultivators when they are at the Youwei stage of pill making. Taking this pill at other times can only consolidate the strength of the bones at most, and the medicinal power is completely wasted.

By the way, why not give it to Senior Sister An?

Such thoughts quickly emerged in Ling Yunpo's mind.

Especially when he thought about how he helped Shi Liuli reach the Great Perfection of the Youwei Stage, but didn't help Senior Sister An... he felt like he was being overly favored.

What's wrong with Senior Sister An? Although Lady Liuli is smart and considerate, she always asks questions, requiring Luo Yan to be extremely alert to respond. Senior Sister An does not have this problem. She accepts everything he says and never doubts it. It is clear that she trusts him to the extreme.

If Lady Liuli can improve her cultivation, why can't Senior Sister An get help? Just because she hasn't married you yet?

Thinking of this, Ling Yunpo immediately came up with a better idea.

A good idea that can prevent you from upgrading further and at the same time increase your character synchronization value.

He walked in the gap between the mountains, carefully avoiding the flowing water around him, and turned around and said:

"Senior sister, there is too much moss ahead and the ground is slippery. Please hold my hand."

An Zhisu obediently stretched out his hand and let Ling Yunpo gently pull it, completely forgetting that he was a Shushan swordsman who had undergone marrow cleansing and meridian strengthening and had such good balance that he almost never fell.

Ling Yunpo felt the warmth in his hand and said casually:

"Oh, Senior Sister, I'm so annoyed."

"What's wrong?" An Zhisu asked curiously.

"The immortal wants me to take this dragon blood pill and forcibly ascend to the Great Perfection of the Youwei Stage of the Golden Core Realm." Ling Yunpo took out the pill from his arms and sighed, "But I once promised Taiyin Suming Sword that I need to advance to the Yuanying Realm by my own strength and never rely on any external force. Only then did it agree to recognize me as its master... If I take the pill, will it be considered a break of promise?"

An Zhisu still had a smile on her face when she listened to the first part, but she became serious when she heard the second part.

Of course, she knew how important the title of Taiyin Sword Master was.

If taking the Dragon Blood Pill causes the Taiyin Su Ming Sword to turn against its master, then you definitely cannot take it anymore!

"Have you told Master about this?" An Zhisu asked seriously.

Of course not. How could I get this Dragon Blood Pill if I told you so? Ling Yunpo sneered in his heart, but said:

"I originally asked it about this, but it didn't answer, so I didn't tell my master and the immortal. But just now it gave me a reply, saying that this would definitely not work."

"In that case, let's go out and find our master..." An Zhisu was about to turn around, but Ling Yunpo held her hand tightly.

The reason why he proposed holding hands just now was not because of his lust for beauty, but because he wanted to prevent Senior Sister from escaping at this time, so Ling Yunpo immediately said:

"Sister, what are you going to say when you go out?"

"They said you can't take this pill anymore." An Zhisu was confused.

"Then what?" Ling Yunpo asked earnestly, "Then return the elixir to the immortal?"

"Sister, you have to know that the reason why the immortal gave us such a precious elixir is actually to compensate us. Have you forgotten that he treated us harshly before?"

"If we return the pills, the immortal will definitely think that we do not accept his compensation, so Master will definitely not do that."

"Then..." An Zhisu pondered.

It's just that she usually doesn't think enough and has no experience in dealing with interpersonal relationships. In addition, her junior brother is here, so she subconsciously asks:

"so what?"

"In our Qingluo Peak, besides me, isn't it you, my senior sister, who is also suitable to take this medicine?" Ling Yunpo said with a casual smile.

"Me? No, no..." An Zhisu refused subconsciously, "As your senior sister, how can I steal your things?"

"It's not mine!" Ling Yunpo immediately glared, "Junior brother, I can't take this pill, Senior sister, have you forgotten?"

"That, that's not possible either..." An Zhisu was still struggling, she only heard Ling Yunpo approaching her and whispering in her ear like a devil:

"Sister, you don't want to be left behind by me in terms of your cultivation progress, right? If this continues, where will your dignity as a sister be?"

"Woo!" The words that were about to fall into An Zhisu's throat immediately turned into hesitant sobs and hesitation.

In fact, An Zhisu has been troubled by this since he entered the Jindan realm.

I was the one who entered the sect first, so how come my cultivation progress was surpassed by my junior fellow apprentice?

Of course, it’s not that An Zhisu is jealous and can’t stand seeing his junior fellow apprentice being better than himself, but because Su Jian himself is a very traditional person when it comes to master-disciple relationships. “The master must have the dignity of a master, and the senior sister must also serve as a role model.” This is what he taught An Zhisu since childhood.

The progress of the junior brother's cultivation surpassed that of the senior sister. This must be an abnormal master-disciple relationship - should we blame the junior brother for progressing too fast? Of course, we should blame the senior sister for being too lazy!

From then on, she fell into a kind of pessimism that was difficult to get rid of, and felt that she was really useless... Now that such an opportunity happened to come across her, An Zhisu couldn't say the words she wanted to refuse.
