Xie Zongyuan rolled up his sleeves and took out a cloud sand, pushing it in front of Zhang Yan, "Senior Brother Zhang, I didn't disappoint you."
Zhang Yan cupped his hands, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xie." He took the cloud sand and glanced at it before putting it away in his sleeves.
His expression was incomparably natural. On the surface, it seemed as if this item was of no importance to him.
He then took out five porcelain bottles and placed them on the table, "These are Calming Pills, personally refined by my master. I'll pass them to you, Senior Brother Xie."
Xie Zongyuan's eyes lit up, "With these bottles of pills, we won't have to worry about Yin Demons."
Zhang Yan said, "Yin Demons are easy to deal with, but vile people are hard to guard against. I'm sure this trip won't be peaceful. What does Senior Brother Xie think?"
Xie Zongyuan naturally understood the meaning behind his words and laughed, "I, Xie Zongyuan, am not a soft-hearted person. Junior Brother, don't worry. "
Both of them understood that Fang Zhen was a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Previously, he was punished by the sect because of them, so he would definitely bear a grudge. Now that he had entered the demon's cave, he had no scruples and would most likely not stay put.
After discussing for a while, Zhang Yan bid farewell to Xie Zongyuan and returned to his room.
There were six more days until the first of the next month, when the Eye of the Sea would open.
It wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short either. Zhang Yan thought about it and decided that he wasn't in a hurry to condense the Seed of Profound Light.
The Serene Yin Heavy Water recorded in the Lan Yun Secret Book was extremely powerful, but he couldn't find the time to condense it. The spiritual energy here was abundant, unlike the Spirit Page Island, so he might as well make use of the time he had to condense a drop.
After making up his mind, he sat on the praying mat and silently circulated the technique.
He had already practiced this technique no less than a hundred times in the broken jade, so he was familiar with it. His aura circulated freely without any sluggishness.
Time passed quickly, and on the sixth day, all the cold Qi in his Qi orifice had been completely melted away. Looking inside, he saw a drop of water that looked like black jade floating in his chest.
This water droplet was only the size of a thumb, but according to what was recorded in the Billowing Cloud Secret Book, just this droplet had the strength of a thousand catties. But he had never tested it before, so he didn't know exactly how strong it was.
Right at this moment, Zhang Yan noticed someone loitering outside the door, and he couldn't help but open his eyes and say in a low voice, "Who's there?"
The deacon nun's voice came from outside, "Is Senior Brother Zhang here? Today is the opening and closing of the Eye of the Sea, the few Shixiong saw that Shixiong was in seclusion a few days ago, so they did not disturb you. They said that after Shixiong comes out, they will meet at the Flying Crane Tower. "
"I know. You can go now."
Zhang Yan tidied himself up and left the side hall. It was inconvenient to fly in the Nameless Palace, so he walked up the stone steps and arrived at the Soaring Crane Tower in about fifteen minutes.
After the deacon nun verified his identity, she let him in.
After entering the tower, he found that there was a cave about ten meters long in the middle of the hall, and the surging seawater kept surging in it, making rumbling sounds. The surroundings were surrounded by a layer of white jade, and it looked like a well fence.
This was the Eye of the Sea, which was similar to the Devil's Cave.
The Devil's Cave wasn't dead, and the Qi inside also surged like it was breathing. On the first day of the lunar month, it would suck in, and on the fifteenth day, it would spit out. So on the first day of the lunar month, as long as one followed the flow of the Eye of the Sea, they would be able to enter.
On the west side of the hall, Fang Zhen, Feng Ming, and three other cultivators stood together. When they saw him enter, other than Feng Ming, they all looked at him with unfriendly eyes.
On the east side stood a young cultivator with a pale complexion. His expression was calm, and he stood there without speaking or moving. Presumably, he was that clansman of the Han Clan. There were five cultivators surrounding him, and they seemed to be followers. However, there wasn't even a trace of respect in their expressions.
At this moment, a cry came from the corner. Zhang Yan looked over and saw that Liu Tao seemed to be talking to a sobbing female cultivator, while Xie Zongyuan stood at the side and shook his head. Zhao Zhen had his arms crossed and a cold smile on his face.
Zhang Yan walked over and asked, "Senior Brother Xie, what's the matter?"
Seeing Zhang Yan arrive, Xie Zongyuan sighed and pointed at the female cultivator, saying, "That is Madam Chen, a disciple of the Guardian Palace. After her husband entered the Eye of the Sea a month ago, he didn't come out again. So this time, she begged everyone in the hall to take her into the Devil's Cave. For this reason, she begged so hard that she didn't kneel. Although she is a cultivator, she still has true feelings for her husband."
Zhang Yan smiled, "Although cultivators are cultivators, they still aren't Supreme Enlightened Masters. They still have seven emotions and six desires. Some seek fame, some seek wealth, and some seek power. This Madam Chen must be seeking 'love'."
Hearing this, Xie Zongyuan couldn't help but tease, "Then what does Senior Brother Zhang want?"
The corner of Zhang Yan's mouth gradually turned into a smile, and he said, "Nothing else, I just want to live forever."
Xie Zongyuan laughed and said, "Of course, to be free and unfettered, to be free and unfettered is what I want."
As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled sound of thunder suddenly rang out in the hall, and everyone's eyes unconsciously looked towards the entrance of the cave.
The seawater there first gurgled out, then as if the bottom layer had been sucked out, it formed a whirlpool and slowly sank down.
Someone exclaimed, "The time has come, the Eye of the Sea has been opened!"
Fang Zhen and the others reacted the fastest. Seeing that the Eye of the Sea had been opened, they all made hand seals, waiting for a treasure light to flash on their bodies, and all of them leaped in without any hesitation. Almost in the instant they entered, they disappeared without a trace.
The Han disciple held up an incense burner and waved it in his hand. A gust of smoke enveloped him and the five people behind him. He took a few steps forward and also leaped into the Eye of the Sea, disappearing in an instant.
Seeing this, Liu Tao looked at Cheng An and said, "Senior Brother Cheng, we can also set off."
Cheng An hurriedly took out a talisman and waved it. A light flashed, and a boat appeared in front of everyone.
This boat was flat and wide, shaped like an old turtle. There were mechanism gates on both sides, and there were empty windows on the upper walls. Perhaps because of the special wood, the body of the boat emitted a strange fragrance, and it smelled refreshing.
Zhao Zhen impatiently took the lead and stepped in.
Seeing that everyone had left, Madam Chen's crying became louder.
Zhang Yan glanced over and saw that Madam Chen had shapely eyebrows and cherry lips, and her figure seemed to be extremely weak. When she cried, she was extremely miserable, and it caused others to be unable to help but feel pity for her. However, he was thinking about another matter.
He called out to Xie Zongyuan and said, "Senior Brother Xie, since Madam Chen is a disciple of the Guardian Palace, she must be familiar with the path to the Devil's Cave. It will be beneficial to us, why not bring her along?"
Xie Zongyuan shook his head and said, "I originally planned to do so, but the Agarwood Boat can only carry five people at most, I can't bring her along."
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is simple. I have the Dazzling Daoist Robe given to me by the Water Country's Zhen King, and it can avoid water, fire, and metal. Senior Brother can just bring her along, I will go alone."
"Oh?" Xie Zongyuan was quite moved, but he hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that this way, Senior Brother Zhang will have to suffer."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Why do you say that, Senior Brother and the others are just a step ahead of us."
When Madam Chen heard that Zhang Yan gave up a seat, she wiped her tears and bowed, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Zhang Yan said lightly, "Madam Chen need not be so courteous, I think you know what I am planning."
Madam Chen nodded lightly and said, "I know, Senior Brother, don't worry, I have been with Master in the past, I have been to the Devil's Cave many times, I dare not say that I am familiar with it, but I can at least tell the way."
The Eye of the Sea only took a short two hours to open the Devil's Cave, so there was no time to waste. Since the decision was made, no one said anything more. After greeting Zhang Yan, they entered the Agarwood Boat.
Not long after, the boat turned into a yellow light and soared into the sky. With a bang, it drilled into the whirlpool and disappeared without a trace.
At this time, there was no one else in the hall. Zhang Yan made a hand sign and the Daoist robe on his body flashed with a misty light, just like Fang Zhen and the others. Looking at the whirlpool that was spinning rapidly, he took a deep breath and jumped down.
