"I really don't know about this. But that senior claimed to be an old friend of Master Nangong. He heard that Master was about to get married, so he specially sent a gift and asked me to convey a few words to Master."

Chen Yun answered truthfully with a lost expression.

"An old friend of the master? Could it be that a senior in the Nascent Soul stage has come?"

This time, the burly monk also showed surprise.

"Who can say for sure? Perhaps this senior has other important matters to attend to, or perhaps he has some unavoidable troubles. Junior Brother Yuan, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. Please extend your hand so that I can check the restrictions in your body!"

The burly monk pondered carefully, and then asked Chen Yun in a slightly awkward manner.

Faced with this situation, Chen Yun had already prepared himself mentally. He stretched out an arm calmly for him to examine.

At the same time, the spiritual energy in his body surged secretly, cleverly imitating some unique magical restriction phenomenon.

When the monk held Chen Yun's wrist and sensed it carefully for a while, an expression of shock suddenly appeared on his face.

Seeing the monk's reaction, the fair-skinned monk couldn't help but feel curious, so he also gently placed two fingers on Chen Yun's arm. However, soon after, his expression became unusually serious.

"Indeed, there is indeed a powerful restriction placed inside your body. And judging from the complexity of this restriction, it is very likely that it was set up by a Yuanying stage cultivator himself. However, based on these alone, the two of us cannot easily let you go up the mountain."

"You need to take out the gift given by that senior first. One of me will pass it to Grandmaster Nangong on your behalf. After confirming that it is correct, we will consider whether to allow you to go up the mountain. Junior Brother Yuan, do you understand what I mean?"

The fair-skinned monk gave the order with a stern expression, but his tone was slightly gentler.

After hearing this, Chen Yun looked worried, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded politely to show his agreement.

"That's fine. However, Uncle Master must explain clearly to Grandmaster the fact that there is a restriction placed on my body!" Chen Yun took out a long wooden box from the storage bag on his waist, handed it to the other party, and added worriedly.

On the lid of the wooden box, there was a light silver forbidden talisman. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy, it seemed to have considerable power.

Obviously, this is a deliberate measure taken to prevent the person transferring the money from spying on it along the way.

"I understand. You just need to wait here patiently. Junior Brother Ma, I'll be back soon!"

The fair-skinned monk first spoke to Chen Yun impatiently, then gave another monk a few words, and then held the wooden box in his hand and flew away with the flying tool.

Chen Yun had no choice but to stay where he was and wait quietly for news.

Although he firmly believed that Nangong Wan would accept him as long as she saw the items in the wooden box, he still felt a little uneasy as the critical moment approached.

While answering other questions from the Foundation Establishment monks, he also reluctantly asked about the appearance of the "senior" who had been entrusted with the gift. In response, he said that the senior was wearing a cloak and no one, whether male or female, could recognize his true identity.

After a long wait, the fair-skinned monk finally returned to his original position.

"Master Nangong has confirmed that the person is indeed his old acquaintance. You can follow me to meet the master now, and the master will personally lift the restriction for you."

The fair-skinned monk made the announcement concisely, and then led Chen Yun to the top of the mountain.

Upon hearing the good news, Chen Yun was overjoyed, but on the surface he pretended to be very excited. He followed the fair-skinned monk and flew quickly towards the mountain.

"I hope you will be careful and do not cross the borders on both sides of the mountain road. The restrictions here are far more severe than those in the middle level. Even if I were to fall into it, I would probably be in danger of death."

The fair monk reminded coldly while leading the way.

Chen Yun agreed in a low voice.

However, at this moment, a beam of blue light came whistling, and the fair-skinned young monk obviously recognized the owner of the escaping light. He turned the flying magic weapon respectfully and hovered beside it, appearing quite restrained.

Then, a blue light quickly approached the two people. After a short pause, a middle-aged monk with a gloomy face and wearing gorgeous brocade clothes appeared.

"Junior Brother Sun, why did you bring a disciple who is at the Qi Refining Stage to this peak? Didn't you follow the rules of this place?"

The monk in brocade robes glanced at Chen Yun and asked indifferently.

“Uncle Lan, I am following the order of Grandmaster Nangong to bring this disciple here. Otherwise, even if I were extremely bold, I would never do such a thing.”

The fair-skinned young monk seemed to be extremely in awe of the monk in brocade robes and explained hurriedly.

At this time, Chen Yun had used his spiritual sense to carefully investigate the other party and found that this middle-aged cultivator in brocade clothes was only in the early stage of Jindan, so there was no need to worry too much.

Despite thinking so in his heart, Chen Yun still maintained a humble attitude and tried not to say too much.

"It is Uncle Nangong who wants to meet this fellow disciple! Please tell me the reason in detail."

When the monk in brocade clothes heard this, he was surprised at first, and then asked in confusion.

"The story goes roughly as follows. This Junior Brother Yuan..."

The fair-skinned young monk did not seem to have any intention of hiding anything, or he thought the matter was unimportant, so he recounted Chen Yun's situation again.

"Uncle Nangong's old friend, has a restriction been imposed on him?"

The monk in brocade clothes frowned slightly, his eyes as sharp as a knife suddenly fell on Chen Yun's face.

"Let me check the restrictions on you!"

The monk in brocade robes gave the order without any hesitation.

Chen Yun secretly cursed this man for meddling in other people's business, but he could only follow the order and move forward helplessly.

"Hmm! It is indeed a bit strange. However, although this restriction is complicated, it is not a dangerous thing. It seems that the caster has no ill intentions. You should go and pay your respects to Uncle Nangong!"

The monk in brocade clothes also held one of Chen Yun's wrists, and after examining it for a while, he nodded and said.

Then he ignored the two of them. His body flashed with light and he turned into a faint blue light and went straight down the mountain.

After a moment, the escaping light gradually became blurred, and finally turned into a colorful form and disappeared without a trace.

"Uncle Lan's invisible escape technique is better than the master's. Although it is only at the early stage of Jindan, I believe that even a cultivator in the late stage of Jindan would find it difficult to resist."

After the Jindan cultivator in brocade clothes left, the fair-skinned young cultivator took a deep breath, stared at the direction where the escaping light disappeared, and whispered to himself.

When Chen Yun heard this, his heart was moved.

"Invisible Escape Technique"

Is this person related to the "Old Monster Qiong" who appeared before the Bloody Trial in the past, or is he the disciple or descendant of "Old Monster Qiong"?
Chen Yun was quite surprised!

At this moment, the fair-skinned young monk relaxed and led Chen Yun to control the flying magic weapon forward again.

Chen Yun immediately put the matter of the Jinyi monk out of his mind. Because there were only a few high-level monks living on the highest level of Linglong Mountain.

Except for the monk in brocade clothes at the beginning, the two did not meet any other monks and went straight to the door of a cave near the highest point of the mountain.

"This is the place where Master Nangong practices meditation! You must answer Master's questions carefully later. Perhaps in addition to removing the restrictions on you, Master Nangong will also grant you additional favors!"

The fair-skinned young monk said with envy.

Then, he immediately turned around and called out respectfully at the gate:
"Master, I have brought this senior here."

"Yes! I already know. Please ask that senior to go into the reception room on his own. You can leave first!"

A female voice that sounded both familiar and unfamiliar to Chen Yun slowly floated out from behind the stone gate. Then a yellow light flashed on the cave door and the stone door opened automatically.

Chen Yun did not hesitate at all and quickly stepped into the cave.

What surprised Chen Yun was that behind the stone gate stood a beautiful female cultivator wearing a yellow skirt and short-sleeved shirt.

He doesn't look old, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he has already successfully established his foundation and has reached the initial stage of cultivation.

"Follow me. The master is waiting for you in the reception room!"

The female cultivator carefully observed Yuan Kun, played by Chen Yun, for a moment and found nothing special about him, so she said this indifferently and then turned and walked towards the depths of the cave.

Chen Yun took a deep breath and followed silently.

The scale of Nangong Wan's cave was not too large. The beautiful female cultivator only led Chen Yun through a narrow corridor and passed through several small rooms before arriving at the so-called reception room.

The reception room was decorated in an elegant and exquisite style. An unknown kind of sandalwood was burning in the corner. Two small flower stands full of ancient charm were placed at the door. Two rare and exotic flowers were blooming on each stand, with bright green branches and leaves.

In the center of the reception room, there is a small rectangular wooden table with a light green rattan chair on each side.

On one of the chairs, sat a girl with black hair and white clothes. She was looking down at an object in her hand, a huge sword shining with silver light.

On the wooden table next to it, there was a half-opened wooden box, which was empty.

When the woman in white saw Chen Yun coming in, she put the silver sword in her hand back into the wooden box, then raised her head slightly and looked at Chen Yun quietly.

An unforgettable beautiful face that had appeared in Chen Yun's dreams countless times now appeared before his eyes.

The slightly pointed chin, the beautiful nose, the clear and charming eyes, all of these were extremely familiar to Chen Yun, and he was extremely moved. There was also a warm and indescribable emotion emerging from the bottom of his heart, as if he had already spent countless times with this woman.

He even forgot the inner state he should maintain at this moment and the mantra he must memorize. Chen Yun was completely immersed in this unprecedented excitement, and his whole body was occupied by this unprecedented passion.

When Nangong Wan saw Chen Yun looking at her so boldly, she was stunned at first, then a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes and her brows frowned inadvertently.

"Yu'er, please leave here first. I need to have a private conversation with this senior."

Nangong Wan raised her head slightly and spoke in a calm tone to the yellow-shirted female cultivator who led Chen Yun into the reception room.

"Yes, Master!"

The girl in yellow was startled at first, but soon lowered her head and responded respectfully.

She walked out of the living room quietly and disappeared from sight.

After the girl completely left the door, Chen Yun looked around and scanned the surrounding environment with his spiritual sense to confirm that there were indeed no other cultivators near the hall.

Then he turned his head to look at Nangong Wan, and without hesitation, he clasped his hands together. Suddenly, there was a "crackling" sound in his body, and his body suddenly grew several inches taller, with a faint golden light appearing on his face.

Chen Yun finally showed his true face.

"It's really you! Chen Yun!"

Nangong Wan showed a complicated expression on her face, but she did not show excessive surprise. She just sighed softly.

"You...you expected me to come here!"

After regaining his original appearance, Chen Yun was confused about how to address this woman. After struggling for a long time, he uttered this meaningless sentence incoherently.

As soon as he said this, Chen Yun felt a little regretful and couldn't help scratching the back of his head with his hand.

"You! Just call me Wan'er."

Seeing Chen Yun's silly look, Nangong Wan smiled, looking charming and lovely.

The woman's bright eyes are moving and her beautiful appearance is breathtaking.

"Wan'er!"

Hearing this name, Chen Yun was overjoyed and couldn't help but call out softly.

He was a little nervous at first, but now he finally felt at ease.

Obviously, this woman is not heartless towards him, otherwise she would not show such an affectionate expression.

For a moment, Chen Yun stared at the woman's beautiful face and fell into deep obsession.

"What is so attractive about me? Am I more attractive than your new concubine?"

Nangong Wan's cheeks flushed slightly, then she turned her head slightly and said calmly.

"Concubine? You also know about this."

Hearing the other party's seemingly dissatisfied tone, Chen Yun finally came to his senses and said in surprise.

"Humph! As a newly promoted elder of Luoyun Sect, he successfully ascended to the Nascent Soul stage in just over two hundred years. How can I ignore such a person?"

Nangong Wan lowered her head slightly, staring at the smooth bluestone floor, and snorted coldly, revealing a hint of savagery and willfulness.

"Could it be the monk named Tang whom I met some time ago?"

Chen Yun thought for a moment and said with sudden enlightenment.

"You are not that stupid! It was indeed that Junior Brother Tang who sent me the sound transmission talisman through a special channel. When I received it, I simply couldn't believe it. You, who had been missing for many years, had actually become a Nascent Soul cultivator. So I immediately ordered people to look for relevant information about the Luoyun Sect in recent years."

"I didn't pay much attention to this kind of information in the past. Although it's a little late, I finally understand your general situation. Since you suddenly appeared and served as the elder of Luoyun Sect, until you left mysteriously during the trade fair. I have heard about all these things."

Nangong Wan gently stroked her hair, glanced at Chen Yun, and said with a half-smile. (End of this chapter)
