What exactly is the reason?
"Could this person have a powerful background, perhaps being a core figure in some powerful organization?" Lin Yu wondered to himself.
He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out who this old man was, so he could only put the matter out of his mind for the time being.
"Junior brother, that old man just now was the Supreme Elder of the Snow Cloud Sect, the personal disciple of the Snow Cloud Peak Master, True Person Snow Cloud!" Xue Ruolan said to Lin Yu.
"Yes, I know!" Lin Yu nodded.
"Peak Master Xueyun, that person is very strong. You'd better be careful," Xue Ruolan reminded her. "Don't forget, he's my grandfather's personal disciple!"
Master of Snow Cloud Peak?
Lin Yu frowned. He had never heard of this Peak Master Xueyun before.
However, seeing Xue Ruolan's serious expression, Lin Yu's heart stirred.
Judging from the appearance, this Master Xueyun Peak must be Xue Qianxun's grandfather, who is also Xue Ruolan's grandfather's senior brother.
"You're True Person Xueyun, right? Hehe, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Lin Yu smiled calmly and said lightly.
Lin Yu thought to himself, "This Xue Qianxun probably doesn't know that I've already broken through to the Golden Core realm. Otherwise, why would she be so arrogant and insist on taking my life?"
Lin Yu didn't take Xueyun Zhenren True Person.
"Alright, let's go to Snow Cloud Cave!" Xue Ruolan said to Lin Yu, and then she and Lin Yu flew towards Snow Cloud Cave.
"Xiaoyu, you're really something! I heard from Junior Sister Qianxun that Xue Qianxun and the others went through a lot of trouble to persuade Master Xueyun True Person accept you as their disciple. You'd better seize this opportunity!"
Deep within the Snow Cloud Mountains lies a valley.
As soon as Lin Yu and Xue Ruolan entered, they saw Xue Qianxun standing at the entrance of the valley.
"Xiaoyu, I've heard Xue Ruolan talk about you along the way. You're very good, and you'll soon become an inner disciple of Xueyun Peak," Xue Qianxun said with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister Xue Ruolan," Lin Yu said humbly.
"Hehe!" Xue Qianxun smiled. "By the way, this is a jade talisman left by my grandfather. You can take it; it will allow you to contact me anytime, anywhere."
If there's any danger, crush it and I'll rush over immediately. Then, I'll bring my junior brother and together we'll kill that Snow Cloud Peak Master!
After saying that, Xue Qianxun handed Lin Yu a palm-sized jade talisman that shimmered with a blue light.
The jade talisman is shaped somewhat like a jade pendant, but it has powerful array patterns on it.
This jade talisman is definitely a top-grade spiritual artifact.
Such a precious treasure, Xue Yunfeng actually gave it to me directly.
This Xue Qianxun is really thoughtful.
However, Lin Yu would not accept it. Although Lin Yu was very interested in the treasure, it did not mean that he would fall out with Xue Yunfeng for a mere piece of treasure.
"Thank you very much, Uncle-Master. However, you should be aware of the rules of Snow Cloud Peak."
"This is such a valuable item, please take it back, Uncle, to avoid any misunderstandings!" Lin Yu declined.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Xue Qianxun was taken aback. "Don't you believe me? Let me tell you, I am an elder of Xueyun Peak. How dare they do such a thing to me?"
"Hehe, since you say so, Senior Uncle Xue Qianxun, then I'll accept it. Once I've achieved success in my cultivation, I will definitely repay you!" Lin Yu said with a cupped hand and a smile.
"Alright, you said it, you can't go back on your word," Xue Qianxun said with a smile. Then he glanced at Lin Yu, a sly glint in his eyes, and said with a grin, "Little Yu, I saw everything when you were with Qianxun and the others!"
"Uh..." Lin Yu paused, then smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, well, I have no relation to Xue Qianxun and the others."
Those female disciples on Snow Cloud Peak were all rescued by me; they were only doing it out of gratitude.
"Hehe, Xiaoyu, you're such a naughty child!" Xue Qianxun covered her mouth and giggled.
Lin Yu was extremely frustrated. He was telling the truth; he and Xue Qianxun really had no relationship. It was just a misunderstanding.
"Uncle-Master, is there anything else? I'll be going now," Lin Yu said with a smile as he took his leave of Xue Qianxun.
Xue Qianxun waved with a smile, "Alright, I should go see my grandfather now. Farewell."
With that, Xue Qianxun transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Watching Xue Qianxun's departing figure, Lin Yu felt a surge of emotion.
"It seems I need to speed up my plan, otherwise, if people find out my real age, it'll be troublesome." Lin Yu thought to himself.
Lin Yu composed himself and continued on his journey.
However, his speed slowed down slightly because Lin Yu thought of something.
That is, should I change my identity when I go to the Ice Moon Palace this time?
After all, I am still young. If I expose myself to the public like this, it will definitely attract a lot of criticism.
As the saying goes, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease." If Lin Yu cannot change his appearance this time, he will give people the impression that he is a monster.
In this way, one's whereabouts in the cultivation world will be completely exposed.
"Forget it, I'll change my appearance after I've mastered my cultivation!" Lin Yu shook his head, deciding to stick to his current appearance. This way, he would be much safer, and even if he encountered top experts in the cultivation world, he wouldn't have to be afraid.
This time, Lin Yu did not rush to Ice Moon Palace. Instead, Lin Yu found an inn to stay at and began preparing the materials for refining the Gathering Yuan Pill.
Although Snow Cloud Peak is not lacking in various rare medicinal herbs, pills of this level are very difficult to obtain. Therefore, Lin Yu plans to purchase a few rare and precious medicinal herbs and then slowly refine them himself.
"Young Master Lin, what kind of medicinal herbs would you like to buy? Our shop has many special herbs that are much more expensive than ordinary ones!" As soon as Lin Yu entered the shop, a maidservant greeted him and asked respectfully.
Lin Yu nodded slightly. "I want to purchase a batch of medicinal herbs."
The maid hesitated slightly, then smiled and introduced, "Young Master Lin, our shop has a very precious medicinal herb called 'Ice Heart Jade Marrow.' This herb is made by fusing and refining ice-attribute crystals and ice minerals."
This medicinal herb is perfect for alchemists to refine the Gathering Yuan Pill!
"Oh? Ice Heart Jade Marrow?" Lin Yu frowned slightly. He had never even heard of this medicinal herb.
However, for Lin Yu, this is actually a good choice.
