The area occupied by Chilang Reef is not large, and it is similar to the Treasure Island where Gu Yan lived back then, with several peaks in a zigzag shape surrounding a mountain range in the middle, which has been winding across half of the island.

Lin Nan pointed to this mountain range and said: "This mountain range originally did not exist, after the volcanic eruption, it was piled up by volcanic ash, and it was carried out along this mountain range all the way, and after extending for hundreds of zhang, it was the place where the Taiyin earth fire was triggered." The yin qi in it is extremely heavy, and there is no treasure of the sun, so it is best not to go down. ”

Gu Yan nodded, "I can reflect on this, please ask Miss Lin to introduce me." ”

The two of them flew forward along the mountain range, and when they reached the bottom of a mountain, a mountain cliff stretched down obliquely, and the small stream, trees, flowers and plants, dotted and distributed, looked very elegant. On the edge of the cliff, there are more than a dozen huts built in a row. There is also a recessed stone chamber carved into the cave, which is thought to have been used by monks for meditation.

Gu Yan saw a few people standing in front of the cliff, and Lin Nan said, "That's my uncle, I think it was Brother Han who went to report the letter first." ”

When Gu Yan saw her say the word "Brother Han", her face couldn't help but show some shy expressions, and she couldn't help but sigh.

At the front stood a tall, square-faced, serious monk, and behind him, all of them were in the early stage of foundation building or qi refining monks, and he was the only one in the late stage of foundation building. His thick eyebrows flew back diagonally, giving him a very square feeling.

When he saw Lin Nan accompanying Gu Yan to the ground, he stepped forward and arched his hand, and said with a smile: "In Xia Lin Ruoxu, he is the patriarch of the Lin family, how do you call this fellow Daoist?" ”

Seeing that he spoke politely, Gu Yan also bowed slightly and returned the salute, saying, "My surname is Gu." Coming from the open sea, I had a two-sided acquaintance with Miss Lin back then, so I took the liberty to disturb me this time. Please also ask Patriarch Lin not to be surprised. ”

Lin Nan said: "Last time I was in the open sea, because of a spirit grass and people have a grudge, they are outnumbered. was hunted down and killed, it was this Gu Daoyou who came to his aid. ”

Gu Yan listened to her and didn't say a word about the identities of Jingxu and Yi Weimei. didn't say anything about how he had fought with her at the competition meeting, and remembered that Lin Zihan's admiration for Tianyin Pavilion, he probably knew something, so he sighed slightly.

After Lin Ruoxu heard this, he glanced at Lin Nan, slightly surprised, and then had a little smile on his face. said: "Since it was the one who saved Nan Ya's life, naturally she is not an outsider." ”

Gu Yan saw that he heard Lin Nan say that he had saved her life, his face showed surprise, and he probably had a spectrum in his heart, it seems that Lin Nan's strength should be one of the best in this group of people.

She took a closer look at the Lin family in front of her, except for Lin Nan, none of them were sword cultivators, so she couldn't help but feel a little strange, could it be that Lin Nan's inheritance didn't come from the Lin family?

Gu Yan has always acted with a smile on his face. People respect me, I also respect people, and when I saw Lin Ruoxu greeting her with a smile, I returned the salute with a smile. said that he wanted to borrow the origin of the underground fire spirit vein.

After hearing this, Lin Ruoxu pondered for a moment and said: "The Lin family has only moved to Chilang Reef in the past hundred years, and the underground volcano has gradually disappeared since it erupted thousands of years ago, although it has gradually lost its voice over the years, but the yin qi under the ground is still extremely heavy, without the protection of magic weapons, it is better to go too deep into the ground. ”

Gu Yan smiled, "I want to borrow the Taiyin Earth Fire to refine a magic weapon, but I can't." ”

Lin Ruoxu nodded, and instructed a girl on the side and said, "Ah Ran, you take Gu Senior to the back mountain, there used to be a cave house opened by the monks back then, please pick one at will." ”

Gu Yan bowed slightly to thank him, took out a bottle of pill from his sleeve, and handed it over, "This is a bottle of Izumo Pill that I refined, please accept it from Patriarch Lin, and talk about it." ”

Lin Ruoxu excused himself, then thanked him and took it, and then ordered the girl named Lin Ran to take Gu Yan to the back mountain.

Behind this mountain range made entirely of volcanic ash is a steep cliff with a potholed ground underneath. As soon as Gu Yan arrived here, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, although it was not very hot, but it was mixed with a heavy gloomy atmosphere, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

The girl named Lin Ran had a round face, big eyes, and long eyelashes blinking back and forth, which was very innocent. Seeing Gu Yan frowning, she said, "Senior, the aura of yin fire here is too heavy, and we don't dare to come here normally." ”

Gu Yan smiled, waved his hand and released the purple jade lotus platform, covering the two of them inside, Zhu Lianye fire shone on the lotus platform, and immediately separated the surrounding yin fires, and the lotus platform revealed a cool meaning.

Lin Ran's eyes widened, revealing a light of worship, and said, "Senior, you are really powerful, no wonder you can save Sister Lin Nan's life!" ”

Gu Yan's heart moved, and he asked, "Who is Miss Lin Nan of you, it seems that she is very powerful in your clan?" ”

Lin Ran said: "Sister Lin Nan is my cousin, she is not cultivating in our clan. After she succeeded in refining qi, she went out to practice alone, and I heard that she met a very powerful monk who taught her the art of sword cultivation, in our clan, except for the eldest uncle, she is the most powerful person. ”

Gu Yan let out an "oh", thinking that Wen Nanqin had said that Lin Nan had some relationship with him, could it be that the person who taught her swordsmanship was Wen Nanqin? But when I think about it, I don't feel like it.

She looked up at the cliff, there were about a dozen caves lined up on it, Lin Ran said: "Those are all the caves that were temporarily opened up by the monks who came here to calm the chaos after the volcanic eruption. ”

Gu Yan smiled at her, "Xiexie, you." He took out two pills as a reward. Lin Ran first excused herself, but when Gu Yan smiled and stuffed it into her hand, she accepted it a little shyly, and thanked Gu Yan again.

Gu Yan waved his hand, saying that he was going to meditate here for a while, Lin Ran ran back to the front mountain with a smile, Gu Yan nodded slightly, these people from the Lin family are not bad, except for Lin Zihan, who has been pulling a face all day long!

Although those caves are ready-made, Gu Yan doesn't want to use them, she refining the Ziyan Crystal Soul this time, she has to directly quote the Taiyin Earth Fire underground, so it is absolutely not possible on the cliff, she looked at the uneven ground, groaned, and held the Purple Jade Lotus Platform in her hand, and then transformed it into a purple lotus with red silk in her hand, Gu Yan sighed: "Go!" The nine lotus petals spun like the wind, like a drill, and quickly drilled into the ground.

The red flames flickered rapidly, and in an instant the ground burst open a large hole, and not even a trace of stone chips splashed out. As soon as Gu Yan raised her hand, the Ice Spirit Flame flew up, turning into a cloud of white light to cover her, and then she flew straight into the big hole.

The purple jade lotus opened the way in front, and the flames emitted by the lotus petals canceled each other out with the thick yin fire underground, and Gu Yan relied on the ice spirit flame to protect himself, and Xiangxia rushed straight down, all the way down a distance of nearly a hundred zhang.

As he went deeper into the ground, the Yin Fire Qi became more and more intense, Gu Yan nodded, the fire aura here should be enough. As soon as she collected the purple jade lotus, she turned it into a lotus platform to protect her whole body, and then took out the materials from the Qiankun bag and slowly strengthened the passage that had been opened up.

Lin Ruoxu listened to Lin Ran's return in the flower hall, and waved his hand indifferently, "Since those two pills were given to you, keep them for your own use." ”

Lin Ran bowed, and then retreated happily.

Lin Ruoxu looked at about six or seven people sitting in the flower hall, all of the Lin family's foundation building monks were here. He groaned and said, "This person said that he came from the open sea, his origin is unknown, and he suddenly wants to open a cave in the back mountain. Listening to Ran'er's return, she has the treasure of protection, and she is not afraid of the yin fire qi underground, and she can easily open up hundreds of zhang underground, and her magical power and mana are all first-class. On the one hand, we must not offend such a person, and on the other hand, we must stay away from her, lest she spoil our great affairs. ”

Lin Zihan pursed his lips disdainfully, "It's just a foreign casual cultivator, and it's not a famous family, is it worth fighting such a big battle?" ”

Lin Ruoxu said in a deep voice: "Han'er! At your age, don't you know that there are people outside the world, and there is a truth outside the sky? Remember not to despise anyone, otherwise someone may inadvertently ruin your big things! ”

Lin Zihan whispered: "Haven't I been cultivating the authentic mental method of the Xuanmen Sect, suppressing the realm and not improving." It's just waiting for a more opportunity, if I also cultivate the magic weapon, is it not as good as a loose cultivation in the open sea? ”

Lin Ruoxu knew that this son was yearning for a famous and orthodox family like Tianyin Pavilion, and when he looked at Lin Nan, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that she was looking at her son with a smile on her face and not saying a word.

At this time, an old man sitting on his right side with a face far older than him said: "Big brother, decades ago, we suddenly moved from thousands of miles away underground to this deserted place, what is it for, and now is it time to have an explanation?" ”

After Lin Ruoxu heard this, his face sank, and everyone in the flower hall suddenly didn't dare to make a sound. He glanced at Lin Nan, and then said slowly: "I have my own thoughts on this matter, as the patriarch of the Lin family, what I do will only be beneficial to the Lin family, you will know in the future, and it is not time to say it clearly." ”

He stood up and said, "The one in the back mountain, you are so respectful, don't go over to provoke on weekdays." When he said this, he looked at Lin Zihan with blazing eyes.

Lin Zihan didn't dare to slack off, stood up and responded, "Yes!" (To be continued)
