At this moment, before anyone on the scene spoke, the middle-aged man was the first to smile. He bowed to Lu Luo, then said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, could this be Elder Chen from your sect? I have often heard of your great name these days."

Long Han immediately stood up and saluted Chen Yun with a warm smile on his face. He said respectfully:
"Long Han is here, and Elder Chen is also a well-known person."

Chen Yun carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him for a while, and responded with a smile and politely:

"Fellow Daoist Long Han, I have also heard of your great name for a long time."

"In terms of reputation, who among the practitioners in recent years can be compared with Fellow Daoist Chen? Elder Chen has brought glory to our Tiandao League, which is truly admirable."

A pale old man sitting next to Long Han said half-jokingly.

Chen Yun was slightly stunned, then asked: "This Taoist friend is right. May I know your name?"

Chen Yun had already noticed this old man. He was another mid-Nascent Soul cultivator besides Long Han among the people present, so he naturally could not be ignored.

"Junior Brother Chen, this is Brother Kuang from Ni Hangzhai. The 'Dry Earth Skill' he practices is well-known in the Tiannan region and has been renowned for hundreds of years."

Without waiting for the pale old man to answer, Lu Luo took the lead in introducing himself.

"So it's Brother Kuang. I have also heard of your name for a long time."

Chen Yun was slightly surprised to hear this, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He didn't lie.

This cultivator named Kuang from Ni Hangzhai is indeed famous and can be considered the best in the Tiandao Alliance, second only to Long Han and his wife.

The silver-haired old man from Luoyun Sect had mentioned him many times.

I didn't expect to meet you here today.

Next, Lu Luo introduced several other monks to Chen Yun one by one.

Among them, when the elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, an ugly cultivator named Tian, ​​was introduced, Chen Yun couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Afterwards, Chen Yun and others took their seats again.

Long Han smiled slightly and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you have come here this time, and I think you have understood our wish for you to continue to participate in the battle. I am ashamed to say that we have indeed failed to fulfill our promise. However, the war is coming soon, and Fellow Daoist Chen's special talents are undoubtedly a huge help to us Tiannan cultivators. We have no choice but to make this decision."

"Of course, to express our sincere apologies, we are willing to provide appropriate compensation in terms of raw material supply, elixir benefits, etc. If Fellow Daoist Chen is still dissatisfied with this, we can discuss other solutions. In short, as long as it is within the ability of our alliance, we will never shirk our responsibilities."

As the leader of the Tiandao League, Long Han showed outstanding wisdom and grace. He expressed his apologies before Chen Yun and the others explained their intentions.

Chen Yun was originally somewhat dissatisfied, but he was unable to show it at the moment.

He was able to escape death from the hands of Master Mulan, so no matter how fierce the future war is, he will have enough ability to protect his own safety.

Now that his life was safe, he naturally no longer felt angry. On the contrary, he thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

So, after a little thought, Chen Yun said frankly:
"Since Brother Long is so open-minded, I am willing to continue to participate in the next war. After all, I know that if the nest is overturned, the eggs will not be intact. However, Chen does have some matters that require the help of the alliance. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to make a request to you all."

Chen Yun was extremely frank in his words and deeds.

He knew very well that in front of these powerful seniors, deliberately concealing something would make him appear guilty, and that only by expressing his ideas directly could he better achieve his intended goals.

As expected, this unreserved speech made many practitioners present have a good impression of Chen Yun.

After hearing this, the monk surnamed Kuang smiled slightly and said frankly and without any disguise:
"Fellow Daoist Chen is decisive and quite in line with my temperament. If you have any requests, please let me know. I am quite interested in this!"

After Long Han's eyes flickered a few times, he smiled slightly and said nothing more.

The others also looked at Chen Yun, wanting to find out what conditions he had proposed.

"In fact, this matter is quite simple. I hope to use the power of your alliance to help me find a material for refining weapons. To tell you the truth, this thing is very important to me. If I can collect it all before the war comes, I believe I will have more confidence and control when facing those black-robed magicians."

Chen Yun looked calm and spoke in a flat tone.

"Materials for refining equipment?" Everyone present looked at each other for a moment, and no one showed any surprise.

With their knowledge and wisdom, they naturally understood that such materials must be extremely rare and difficult to obtain.

Otherwise, Chen Yun would not have taken this opportunity to bring it up as a bargaining chip.

After Chen Yun expressed this demand, Lu Luo, who was sitting next to him, showed a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he had noticed something.

"Excuse me, what kind of materials does Fellow Daoist Chen need? Please tell me in detail." Long Han asked in a calm tone.

"I urgently need some divine thunder to refine magic weapons, and the more the better. However, fellow Taoists, don't worry. I will exchange these divine thunders for items of equivalent value. I will not ask for them for free. I just hope that the power of the alliance can help me collect them, or find out the specific whereabouts of the divine thunders."

Chen Yun explained calmly.

All along, the inability to obtain enough divine thunder to refine the Great Geng Sword Formation has become a major concern in Chen Yun's mind. Now that there is such an opportunity, he naturally cannot let it go easily.

"God's thunder!"

When everyone present heard the name of this material, they all showed expressions of surprise.

As we all know, the divine thunder is known as the "treasure of sharp gold", how could they not know this.

Although they had anticipated that Chen Yun might make such a request, most people were stunned when Chen Yun actually mentioned this incredible treasure.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, may I ask what kind of magic weapon you are planning to refine? Why do you need so many divine thunderbolts? As far as I know, only a small amount of this item can greatly enhance the power of the magic weapon. However, if too much is added, the effect will be minimal."

The old man surnamed Kuang frowned and said doubtfully.

"Chen is naturally aware of this matter. Anyway, can the alliance collect a certain amount of divine thunder for me?"

Chen Yun asked back with a normal expression.

"Since Fellow Daoist Chen has promised to exchange with items of equivalent value and is willing to pay the corresponding price, it is not impossible to collect such materials and inquire about relevant information for you. However, such items are usually used immediately once they are obtained. Judging from Fellow Daoist Chen's tone, it seems that the quantity required is quite large, which may be a bit difficult. Even if we can find some clues, its owner will certainly regard it as a treasure and keep it secret. Therefore, it is inconvenient for us to investigate too deeply, otherwise, there would not be only a small piece of divine thunder at the previous auction." Long Han sighed and shook his head to express his helplessness.

Hearing this, Chen Yun's heart sank.

He had already anticipated that the other party might give such a reply.

However, apart from this method, he was really helpless.

If it is really impossible to find so many divine thunders in the Tiannan area, then would he even go to other places such as the Tiansha Continent to seek divine thunders?

However, then again, the area of ​​the Great Jin Kingdom is more than ten times that of Tiannan, so perhaps there really are a large number of divine thunders.

In addition, he also had a bone box brought back from the underworld, which recorded the method of refining the "Spirit Summoning Talisman". If he arrived in the Great Jin Kingdom, this item should naturally be returned to the Tianfu Sect.

Thinking of this, Chen Yun couldn't help feeling depressed.

Seeing Chen Yun's hesitation, Lu Luo couldn't help but persuade him:

"Brother Chen, why don't you change the conditions? Items like divine thunder are hard to come by."

After Chen Yun learned of this, his originally calm face slightly frowned. After thinking carefully for a moment, he still shook his head firmly and responded:
"In any case, the divine thunder is extremely important to me. Even if the hope is slim, I still hope that your alliance can agree to this."

When he said this, his facial expression was firm and unwavering.

Long Han obviously realized that Chen Yun had made up his mind and decided to complete the task with all his heart.

However, when he saw Chen Yun's determined look, he nodded helplessly and agreed to it.

Because for a behemoth like the Tiandao League, it is enough to just send the low-level disciples in the sect to do their best and pay attention to relevant news.

This request did not seem too harsh or difficult. Moreover, the old man surnamed Kuang and the other monks naturally had no objection.

However, Long Han and others felt that such compensation seemed too hasty.

Therefore, they immediately took out another bag filled with about a hundred mid-level spirit stones and gave it to Chen Yun as another form of compensation. When Chen Yun saw the gift, he smiled faintly and accepted it without hesitation.

After seeing this situation, all the monks inside the palace felt that the atmosphere was harmonious.

After that, the people from the Tiandao League continued to chat in the side hall for a while, during which Long Han and others asked in detail about the details of the battle of Huanglong Mountain that day.

In particular, special attention was paid to the man in black robe and the magical powers displayed by Master Mulan who suddenly appeared.

Chen Yun did not hide anything about this matter, but told it honestly.

Of course, he just briefly mentioned the part about his own skills and magic weapons without elaborating on them.

Long Han and others were also well aware of the rules of the cultivation world and did not dare to ask Chen Yun about the secrets of his skills.

However, when Long Han heard Chen Yun raise doubts, saying that those black-robed people were not monsters like ghosts, but were most likely demon cultivators who had practiced some kind of magic, his eyebrows couldn't help but tremble violently.

In this way, Chen Yun spent a whole half day here, and finally said goodbye to everyone reluctantly and left.

When Lu Luo and Chen Yun just left the hall and stepped out of the hall door, a sound transmission note suddenly flew into Lu Luo's hand.

After reading the sound transmission note, Lu Luo gave Chen Yun a helpless smile and said, "I have some urgent matters to deal with right now, so I'm afraid I can't continue to accompany you to tour Tianyi City. Brother Chen, why don't you walk around the city by yourself? We can have a good chat in the evening."

"Brother Lu, please do as you please. I just want to appreciate the charm of this city by myself!"

Chen Yun responded to Lu Luo's kindness with a friendly smile.

Thus, Lu Luo's worries were relieved. After clasping his fists to thank Chen Yun, he quickly turned into a bright light and disappeared into the distance.

It seems that Lu Luo does have very urgent matters to deal with!
Chen Yun watched Lu Luo's figure going away, shook his head gently, then smiled and nodded.

In the early morning, the sun was shining all over the earth. Chen Yun looked up at the sky. After pondering for a moment, he took a firm step and headed towards the core area of ​​the city.

However, after only a few steps, Chen Yun's eyes suddenly flickered and he stopped. He slowly turned around and looked towards a nearby alley.

I saw the woman named Song Bai Fengfeng, biting her lips and standing there with a hesitant look on her face.

Chen Yun blinked slightly, then stretched out his hand and gestured to the woman.

The woman surnamed Song hesitated for a moment, but finally walked over slowly.

"Hello, Uncle Chen!"

The beautiful female disciple of Luoyun Sect greeted her respectfully, her voice as sweet as the song of a yellow oriole.

"How long have you been waiting here?" Chen Yun asked calmly, with his hands behind his back, staring at the woman's face.

"It's been a whole hour." The woman surnamed Song lowered her head slightly and answered in a low voice.

"It seems that you do have something important to tell me. However, this is not the place for conversation. Please follow me." Chen Yun looked around and said in a cold tone. Then, without waiting for the woman's response, he walked forward leisurely.

The woman surnamed Song's expression changed unpredictably. After thinking for a while, she raised her foot and followed Chen Yun.

……

"What exactly happened? Can you tell me now?" Chen Yun took the woman to a remote place, then turned around and asked calmly.

"Here's what happened. Someone asked me to give you this letter and hopes to meet you." The woman surnamed Song hesitated for a moment, then took out a jade slip from her arms and handed it respectfully to Chen Yun.

"A letter?" Chen Yun's eyes flashed with surprise. He scanned the item with his spiritual sense before reaching out to take it. However, he did not immediately put his spiritual sense into it. Instead, he stared at the woman's face and asked, "Who asked you to deliver it? You should know!"

"It's a friend of mine. She said she had met you before, so she asked me to deliver this letter on her behalf." After handing over the jade slip, the woman surnamed Song seemed unusually calm.

"Have you seen me?" Chen Yun narrowed his eyes, his face showing doubt. After hesitating for a moment, he still put the jade slip on his forehead, his face expressionless. (End of this chapter)
