Before the establishment of the Dan Academy on Tuocang Mountain, a minor disturbance was stirred up.
However, after Qin Xin stepped in, the matter quickly subsided, and the passing martial artists treated it as a spectacle and soon forgot about it.
After Hong Ye and the others left, Qin Xin did not return to Tianxuan Mountain first, but instead went back to the Dan Academy of Tuocang Mountain to check the situation.
According to Li Xi, the current Dean Yang Xiu and Vice Dean Yun Li of the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy are not currently at the academy. Qin Xin is also planning to inquire about their whereabouts.
Qin Xin also learned some things through some maids and guards in the Dan Academy.
A very rare spiritual herb appeared on a mountain peak not far from the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy, so Yang Xiu and his group went there to collect it. They have been gone for several days and have not returned.
For a moment, some unpleasant thoughts arose in Qin Xin's mind.
"Yinfeng Ravine".
After learning where Yang Xiu and the others had gone, Qin Xin murmured softly.
Yinfeng Ravine is located in the northern part of the Dan Academy on Tuocang Mountain. Even with Qin Xin's current strength at the Dan Realm and the assistance of the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern, it would take him three days to reach it.
This Yinfeng Ravine is nestled among the mountains, like a natural chasm. The water flows swiftly, and cold, yin winds blow from time to time. Even a martial artist at the third level of the Core Formation Realm cannot stay there for long.
Once attacked by this yin wind, if it cannot be dispelled, the martial artist will face endless torment for eternity.
Therefore, Yinfeng Ravine can be considered a forbidden area within the entire territory of Tianxuan Sect. No martial artist dares to approach the surrounding area, let alone enter it.
Of course, Qin Xin was also a little uneasy about Yang Xiu and the others going to Yin Feng Ravine.
When he arrived in Zhongzhou, he also looked up information about some hidden places in Zhongzhou, including a lot about Yinfeng Ravine.
Because of the eerie winds that blow through Yinfeng Ravine year-round, no plant can survive there, let alone any medicinal herbs; there isn't even a single blade of grass.
Of course, all of this is just Qin Xin's own speculation. As for what exactly is in Yin Feng Ravine that would attract Yang Xiu and the others, Qin Xin needs to go there in person to verify it.
Because of his status as an elder, Qin Xin found it quite tempting to buy spiritual herbs in the main hall of the Pill Academy. Soon, the Pill Academy delivered over a hundred portions of medicinal materials prepared for refining the Nourishing Essence Pill.
Qin Xin felt a little strange about everything that happened last night. After all, the whole process of purchasing so many portions of Nourishing Essence Pills and refining them was too smooth, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
However, Qin Xin wasn't the type to dwell on things. He went straight to the alchemy room and began refining the Nourishing Essence Pill.
...
"Teacher, Qin Xin's sudden return might affect our plans."
In a relatively secluded courtyard within the Tuocang Mountain Alchemy Academy, Li Xi, dressed in a blue alchemist's robe, was sitting in a chair, rubbing his head.
He hadn't expected Qin Xin's return, so it wasn't part of his plan.
"If I leak some information about Yin Feng Jian to him, I won't be so curious that he'll go and take a look."
"When all these people perish in Yinfeng Ravine, and Vice Dean Jia ascends to the position of Dean, you and I, master and disciple, will finally be able to hold our heads high in this Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy."
Just after Li Xi finished speaking, a gray-robed phantom appeared in the courtyard. The fiery aura emanating from its body directly scorched the vegetation in the courtyard, causing it to wither.
"Elder Li is right. If we use a few tricks, Qin Xin won't take the bait."
"Once he heads to Shuiyunjian, we'll just kill him! Tsk! Tsk!"
When Jia Yi appeared, he smiled without any reservation.
Li Xi and Zhuge Tao naturally followed behind, smiling obsequiously.
"After Qin Xin leaves, we will deliberately create some conflict between the Tianxuan Sect and the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy!"
Jia Yi's instructions were somewhat cold and ruthless.
"yes!"
After Li Xi and Zhuge Tao responded, Jia Yi's figure quickly disappeared.
...
On the other side, Qin Xin, although he had not refined pills for a long time, still managed to refine the high-grade pill, the Nourishing Essence Pill, quite smoothly thanks to his perception and control over flames.
In just three days, a large pile of Nourishing Essence Pills had been placed in front of Qin Xin.
There were more than a hundred of these Nourishing Essence Pills, and their quality was at least excellent.
Upon seeing the batch of Nourishing Essence Pills sent by Qin Xin, Xiahou Chu's rugged face was so moved that he almost shed tears.
After leaving the Kaituo Cangshan Danyuan, Qin Xin returned directly to Tianxuan Mountain.
Upon reaching the summit of Tianxuan Mountain, a familiar voice echoed in his ears.
"Now that you're back, come visit me first."
Upon hearing Elder Feng Zhi's summons, Qin Xin felt a surge of joy. Even if he hadn't been summoned, he would have planned to visit the Elder anyway, since he might have some knowledge of the Yin Feng Ravine.
Upon arriving at Elder Feng's residence, Qin Xin pushed open the door and entered.
At this moment, Feng Bi was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, with countless breezes flowing behind him, as if he were a small world of his own, completely ignoring the surrounding environment.
"Is this the strength of a master at the Earth Profound Realm?"
For a moment, Qin Xin's eyes also showed a hint of envy.
Now, Feng Bi can be said to have integrated the laws of heaven and earth into his inner world, so the scenes around him are all external manifestations of his inner world.
If we could trap some martial artists in this small world, we could probably kill them directly.
However, this also carries considerable risks. After all, the inner world is crucial for martial artists, and damage to it could potentially harm their foundation.
This is why most martial artists at the Dharma Aspect Realm and Earth Profound Realm directly use their domains, rather than directly projecting their small worlds.
Seemingly sensing Qin Xin's arrival, the wind around Feng Bi slowly retracted its physical body.
The instant Feng Bi opened its eyes, Qin Xin could sense the profound meaning in its gaze, which seemed to be an understanding of the laws.
"Elder!"
Seeing that Fenglu had finished his cultivation, Qin Xin bowed and greeted him.
"You've arrived, please sit down."
With a flick of his wrist, a delicate tea table appeared before the two. After slowly sitting down, he gestured for Qin Xin to sit down as well.
"Is everything alright on this trip to the Eastern Wilderness?"
Feng Bi's sudden question surprised Qin Xin slightly, so he replied directly, "Thank you for your concern, Elder. Everything is going very smoothly."
