Twin Half-Saints

Once the elixir was refined, Xiao Ming didn't delay and immediately instructed Qing Yi to take her to the location of the Sound Valley Ancestor.

After passing through the vast Half- Sound Valley, the group arrived at a luxurious palace.

Outside the palace, there were many guards.

The head of the Guard Commander military uniform, his Linglong figure wrapped in it. His neat short hair was loose, and his face was rather cold and stern. His sharp, eagle-like eyes swept over the crowd. When he saw Qing Yi arrive in person, he hurriedly bowed.

"Valley Master!"

"Get up, open the palace doors."

"Yes!"

The guard gave a signal to the beautiful women guarding behind him, and two young women immediately responded in unison, each taking out half of an exquisite Jade Token. They then pieced them together and placed them on the palace door, infusing them with powerful Dou Qi.

With a series of creaking gears and mechanical sounds, the palace door trembled and slowly opened before everyone's eyes.

The moment the palace doors opened, a chilling, visibly dense aura seeped out from the cracks.

Instantly, the female disciples on guard retreated, their faces filled with fear and apprehension, their bodies even trembling slightly, as if they had seen a raging flood or a ferocious beast, inspiring awe in all who beheld them. Only the female commander's expression remained largely unchanged.

"Wow, this Cold Poison is truly ferocious. No wonder so many people are needed to guard it. However, it should be good nourishment for Xiao Yi Xian," Xiao Ming thought to himself upon seeing this.

The chill didn't affect Qing Yi much. She turned to the group from Sound Valley behind her and said softly, "I will go in with Mr. Xiao Ming. You all wait here."

"Yes."

"You all wait here. Xian'er, come in with me." Xiao Ming said to Qing Lin and Venerable Tian Huo, then turned to look at Qing Yi.

"Xian'er has a special constitution; perhaps it will help to remove the Cold Poison."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Miss Xian'er later." Qing Yi a little surprised, but had no objection, and took the lead in stepping into the palace.

After Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian followed them inside, the gate slowly closed.

Outside the palace, Qing Lin and Venerable Tian Huo were led to a nearby house to rest.

Upon entering the palace, one is greeted by a chilling white mist, with a dense, swirling cold air that appears even more eerie and terrifying under the pale light.

The hall was eerily quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The only sound was the clatter of footsteps, which made it all the more unsettling.

Qing Yi walked in front, followed by Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian. They passed through the hazy, pale white air, with a biting chill constantly assaulting their bodies.

Fortunately, all three were Dou Zun, and their star ratings were not low, so the cold air did not have a significant impact on them.

Not long after, Qing Yi was walking ahead, stopped and said, "We're here!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming immediately looked ahead. Behind layers of curtains, he could vaguely see the figures of two voluptuous women sitting cross-legged on the same jade bed.

In Xiao Ming's perception, the two women were the source of all the cold air within the palace, making them extremely yin and cold.

As if hearing Qing Yi's voice, the two women behind the curtain awoke, like sleeping dragons awakening, and two magnificent and terrifying auras gradually permeated the palace.

Xiao Ming felt his entire body suddenly sink, and the speed at which his internal Dou Qi circulated slowed down.

"This aura... truly befits Half-Saint!"

"Little Qing Yi, you've arrived... Wait, where did this man from our Sound Valley come from? His soul has actually reached the Heavenly Realm..."

A gentle voice came from behind, and then, as if noticing Xiao Ming, the tone became somewhat surprised.

Upon Qing Yi's expression became much more solemn, and he respectfully explained:

"Old Ancestor, this is Xiao Ming, Alchemy Grandmaster from the Pill Tower. He refined two top-grade Nine Revolutions Returning Yang Pill for our Sound Valley. He's here to help you remove the Ice Dragon Scorpion Cold Poison. The reward I'm offering contains specific information about the Nai Qiong Divine Ice."

"The highest grade Nine Revolutions Returning Yang Pill?" Another somewhat similar voice rang out, its tone much more solemn. Alchemist capable of refining such pills were already on par with them.

"Qing Yi kind. I will tell him about the news of Nai Qiong Divine Ice, but our information is incomplete, otherwise we wouldn't have been injured by that Ice Dragon Scorpion back then."

A figure behind the curtains waved her hand lightly, causing the layers of curtains to flip up, releasing an even colder chill that revealed the scene behind them.

Two young women in palace attire sat cross-legged on a jade bed. They looked remarkably alike, both beautiful and voluptuous, though their brows revealed a hint of coldness. Their long black hair was casually draped over their shoulders, adding to their delicate appearance.

She appeared to be in her late teens, but her beautiful eyes revealed a world-weary air, and her face had an unnatural pallor.

Xiao Ming glanced at her indifferently and then looked away. She was indeed very beautiful, and she even had the added advantage of being a twin. However, Xiao Ming was quite knowledgeable, so he would never do anything unseemly.

Of course, respect for a powerful figure is still necessary, so he cupped his hands and solemnly said, "Xiao Ming greets both seniors."

Okay, he knows their names.

Xiao Yi Xian followed suit, saying, "Xiao Yi Xian greets the two seniors."

"Young friend Xiao Ming, I am Qing Yinan, and this is my younger sister Qing Yiya." The girl on the left smiled slightly, noticed Xiao Ming's unusual behavior, and introduced herself.

Qing Yiya, who was to her right, also smiled gently at Xiao Ming.

"You just heard it all, we don't know the exact location of the Nai Qiong Divine Ice either..."

"Sigh, even a rough idea would be helpful." Xiao Ming sighed, there was nothing he could do.

"Don't worry, Sound Valley won't let you suffer any losses; there will be other compensation," Qing Yi said to Xiao Ming.

"Whatever."

Xiao Ming shook his head. In fact, the entire Sound Valley might not be as wealthy as him. He wasn't very interested in the reward. The main reason he traveled all the way to Sound Valley was because Qing Yi had helped him before.

Of course, now that the two Half-Saint of Sound Valley have been healed, Sound Valley owes him a huge favor, so the reward is even less important.

Xiao Ming took out two Jade Bottle, and the surrounding temperature immediately rose significantly. These were the Nine Revolutions Returning Yang Pill Xiao Ming had refined earlier.

"It's best to get rid of the Cold Poison as soon as possible."

"I'm leaving everything to young friend Xiao Ming. How can we cooperate?" Qing Yinan asked.

"Ahem, first of all, you need to take off your clothes..."

"Ah?!"

Qing Yinan and Qing Yiya had never undressed in front of a man before, so they were not surprised to hear this request.

"The Nine Revolutions Returning Yang Pill is extremely Yang in nature. When combined with Heavenly Flames, your clothes will probably burst into flames in a moment," Xiao Ming explained with a serious expression.

This statement is essentially saying, "Either you take your clothes off now, or you don't, and I'll burn them for you later."

"Well... okay."

The Qing Yinan sisters exchanged a glance and quietly agreed. "People are about to die, what's the point of worrying about that?"
