In the forbidden place in the center of Flying Feather Villa, in front of a hidden stone cave.

A white figure appeared at the door of the stone cave, this person was the woman in white who had just chatted with Li Mengying.

"Ancestor, the apprentice's granddaughter Li Yanran asked to see. ”

The woman in white said to the stone cave with a respectful expression.

After a long time, I saw that the door of the stone cave was opened with a "boom", and an old voice came from the stone cave.

"Oh, it's Yanran who is back, come in and talk. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanran's figure moved, raised her legs and walked into the stone cave.

In the depths of the stone cave, on a square stone platform, I saw an old man in a gray robe sitting on his knees, the old man was thin, like a skeleton that had been drained of flesh and blood, the dry skin membrane was attached to the skeleton, the facial features were distorted, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken, giving people a creepy feeling.

A decadent, decaying aura filled the gray-robed old man's body.

Obviously, this terrifying old man's life is coming to an end, and he has reached the point of running out of oil.

Seeing Li Yanran walk in, a flash of hope flashed in the dead eyes of the gray-robed old man, and he asked in a hoarse voice:

"Yanran, you're back, this year, the old man has told you to do something. ”

"Back to the ancestor, Yanran went to the three cities near Liuyun City on this trip, but she didn't find any mortals with spiritual resources and scattered cultivation, and she was entrusted by the ancestor, and asked the ancestor to punish her. ”

After speaking, Li Yanran lowered her head and looked willing to be punished.

After hearing Li Yanran's answer, the gray-robed old man's face suddenly turned like a dead ash, and he felt like a deflated ball, and he went down in an instant, and at the same time, a wave of anger appeared on the gray-robed old man's dry cheeks, matched with the old man's hideous expression, which made people shudder.

After a few breaths, the gray-robed old man's angry face slowly returned to normal, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"You're tired this year, go down and rest for a while, and the old man will notify you through the jade talisman if something happens. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanran lowered her head and thought for a while, and after some hesitation, continued:

"Old Ancestor, although Yan Ran didn't find the person that Old Zhu Zu was looking for this year, but after returning to Feiyu Villa, Yan Ran chatted with Cousin Mengying, and heard Mengying mention a teenager who seemed to be a spiritual cultivator. ”

Li Yanran pondered for a moment and told the news that Han Yi was a spiritual cultivator in Li Mengying's mouth.

After hearing Li Yanran's words, the gray-robed old man who was originally as dead as ashes raised his head suddenly, stared at Li Yanran with blazing eyes, his thin face flushed, and said in an excited tone:

"What? There's a teenager in the Flying Feather Villa who is a spirit cultivator, and this news is true. ”

"Back to the ancestor, as soon as Yanran came back, she came directly to the ancestor's report, and she had not seen the young man in Mengying's mouth to confirm whether the news was true. ”

Li Yanran replied honestly.

Hearing this, a ray of essence flashed in the gray-robed old man's narrow eyes, and he slowly spoke:

"It's up to you to go and confirm this matter in person, if that young man is really a real spiritual cultivator, don't alarm him, find a way to find out this young man's heels, see if he has a master's inheritance, or if he has a master, and report to the old man as soon as he finds out. ”

The gray-robed old man commanded expressionlessly, but a wisp of excitement that could not be concealed came out of his pupils.

"Ancestor, Yanran understands. ”

Li Yanran responded respectfully, turned around and left the stone cave.

Not long after Li Yanran left the stone cave, a terrifying and eerie strange laughter came from the gray-robed old man.

"Boom, old fellow, your great-great-granddaughter did a good job this time, she really found out the news of a spirit cultivator, and it seems that you don't need to sacrifice blood to your relatives in your Feiyu family. ”

"Twenty years, twenty years, the old man has been in this dark cave for twenty years, and today, I finally have the hope of living, haha, the sky will not kill me. ”

The gray-robed old man's voice was hoarse and laughed, shaking the surrounding mountains and rocks.

"Boom, old guy, discuss something, that kid belongs to you, and your great-great-granddaughter returns to this seat, what do you think?"

The strange voice sneered and proposed.

"Get out, old thing, if it weren't for you, how could the old man end up like this, don't fight Yanran's idea, otherwise, the old man won't be able to spare you." ”

The gray-robed old man scolded angrily, his tone full of anger and warning.

"Hmph, old fellow, you can live until now without this seat, and now you are finally looking forward to coming out, I'm afraid you have forgotten that this secret technique was passed on to you by this seat!"

The strange voice sneered with some dissatisfaction.

"Old ghost, what are you anxious about, you and I are one, if the old man can be reborn, naturally you can continue to live, with the strength of the old man, it is not impossible to find a body for you when the time comes. ”

The gray-robed old man's eyes flashed, and he said comfortingly.

"Hmph! I hope you mean what you say. ”

The strange voice snorted coldly and fell silent.

……

Early the next morning, Han Yi and Zhu Ganglie left Feiyu Villa and went straight to the mineral vein in the north of the city.

Vein Valley.

"Master, what kind of wind is blowing you here today. ”

When Zhao Ergou saw Han Yi who suddenly appeared, his expression was stunned at first, and then his face was full of flattering smiles.

"Zhao Ergou, there has been something strange lately3. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ergou's eyes flashed, and he naturally understood what Han Yi was referring to, and patted his chest and promised:

"Master, you relax, nothing has been revealed about the underground mine. ”

"Well, that's good, here's a hundred taels of gold, you take it, by the way, go to the underground mine to dig some high-grade ore and come back to me, you go yourself, don't alarm others. ”

Han Yi casually threw a cloth bag to Zhao Ergou and commanded in a flat tone.

Seeing this, Zhao Ergou took the money bag thrown by Han Yi, checked it in his hand, and after feeling the weight, he immediately showed a smile on his face.

"Master, you're too polite, I'll go get you the ore, you wait. ”

As the words fell, Zhao Ergou disappeared in front of Han Yi with the money bag in his hand.

About half an hour later, Zhao Ergou returned to Han Yi with a large piece of ore wrapped in a burlap bag, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and said to Han Yi breathlessly:

"Master, all the ores you want are here. ”

After receiving the ore handed over by Zhao Ergou, Han Yi said a few words to Zhao Ergou, and then left the vein in the north of the city and left directly in the direction of Liuyun City.

In Liuyun City, Han Yi found the blacksmith shop owner who refined ore for himself last time, and said that he wanted to build a shield, although the news that the blacksmith shop owner left last time caused Han Yi to kill Wang Teng was found out by the young master of the Flame Family, but this matter is not to blame on the blacksmith shop owner.

Seeing Han Yi once again take out such a large piece of crystalline iron ore, the blacksmith shop owner was very surprised, and bluntly asked Han Yi if he still had the goods, and if so, he could buy them, but Han Yi was not interested in gold, so he refused the blacksmith shop owner and only asked him to build a defensive shield of pure crystalline iron.
