The mountain breeze brought a touch of coolness.
Gazing upon the lifeless body of Liu Guibi White, who had returned to white.
Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh, today he had drawn his sword.
Although the opponent was an evil cultivator, it was still a living being that had been terminated by oneself.
If it wasn't for Liu Guibi White, the other party would try every means to kill himself.
Moreover, according to what he had learned, the Yellow Turban bandits of the Taiping Sect were secretly committing evil deeds and had killed countless lives. By killing Liu Guibi White, he was also performing meritorious deeds for the people.
Just then, his head throbbed painfully.
"My inner spirit was hurriedly released from its jade body, and the sunlight burned me. I need to repair it using the inner observation method. It will take at least a month before I can use my inner spirit's power to cast spells."
However, Chen Yun was not concerned. After all, he had been able to use the Martial Intent Sword of Red Gold to perform illusory techniques, dream techniques, and soul suppression techniques with the help of true qi. It was just a bit troublesome, but it was still simpler to cast spells by releasing his spiritual consciousness directly.
"Longevity Master Chen, where are you?"
"Master Chen, I heard an explosion just now. Are you all right?"
"Brother Chen..."
Zhang Qian, Ma Qin, Yan Meng and others called out from below the mountain.
Just now, I used the horse spirit charm to chase after them and break away from the main force. Now everyone has caught up.
Speaking of which, the speed of the horse spirit charm used by myself far surpasses that of Liu Guibi White's travel spell. However, the terrain in the mountain is rugged and uneven, and even after pursuing for a minute, I finally caught up to him with the help of the Green Middle Plain Formation.
It must be said that Liu Guibi White's travel spell is indeed somewhat mysterious.
Chen Yun did not immediately respond to the group, but instead squatted down and picked up the flying needle, then patted around Liu Guibi White's body for a while, hoping to find something.
Regrettably, Liu Guibi White did not have a storage device like Lin Feiyun's.
Chen Yun, besides retrieving the flying needle, also found an ancient and humble book on Liu Guibi White's person.
He didn't have time to read the contents of the book closely, as everyone was still searching for him.
Chen Yun quickly put away the flying needle and the book, and called out loudly to the people below, "This way."
Soon after, Zhang Qian, Ma Qin, and Yan Meng climbed up.
"Brother Chen, are you alright?" Zhang Qian asked with a look of concern.
Both Ma Qin and Yan Meng looked over.
"No problem." Chen Yun waved his hand and pointed to Liu Guibi White's body, "This scoundrel has been killed by me. He must be a high-ranking mage among the Yellow Turban bandits. You can use his body to claim merit."
"Thank you, Master Chen." Ma Qin bowed in gratitude.
Yan Meng couldn't help but sigh, "This scoundrel is ferocious. Even with over two hundred and thirty elite warriors surrounding and attacking him, he managed to escape. If it wasn't for Master Chen's profound magical power, I fear that today we would have truly lost him."
Ma Qin nodded deeply in agreement, "To fight against two or three hundred of us, this rogue is indeed formidable."
As he spoke, he revealed a smile, "However, even if this rogue is as powerful as we are, he is still no match for Master Chen. You are truly superior."
Zhang Qian, though he didn't praise anything, looked at Chen Yun with a mix of awe and admiration in his eyes.
In those days, when he first descended the mountain with Chen Yun, Chen Yun had to rely on talismans and "surprise attacks" to deal with the evil spirit Qin Liang, and he only felt confident when it was high noon and the sun was at its brightest.
Later, when facing the wolf demon at Gao Zhu's residence, although he won, he looked rather disheveled.
However, today facing the seventh-level mage Liu Guibi White, Chen Yun won by relying on his "hard power".
Liu Guibi White was someone who even the elite force of the Nezha Army, numbering two or three hundred, could not defeat.
In other words, Chen Yun's current strength is already somewhat comparable to the elite force of two or three hundred.
Zhang Qian had witnessed Chen Yun's strength grow rapidly one step at a time.
He felt even more moved in his heart, thinking that Brother Chen was truly extraordinary. In less than twenty days, his strength had increased so much. He truly deserves to be a favored apprentice chosen by the sect master.
...
The Nezha Army was still searching for the spoils of the Yellow Turban bandits in the farmhouse.
Due to the injury to his inner spirit, Chen Yun, accompanied by Zhang Qian and several soldiers, returned to the county magistrate's office first to rest.
At that time, Zhang Chenfan, Wang Shihui, and Zhao Ke were not present. The only one left was the county magistrate Sun Chong.
Sun Chong, upon seeing the group return, hurriedly approached and asked: "Master Chen, you look pale. Is there anything wrong?"
Chen Yun waved his hand and said, "I suffered some injuries from fighting the bandits, but nothing serious. Could you find a quiet room for me to rest and heal?"
Sun Chong initially thought that Chen Yun and the Nezha Army had not been able to capture the Yellow Turban bandits, but since the other was a celestial being, he dared not ask too many questions. He then had someone guide Chen Yun to the quiet room in the inner courtyard.
Once Chen Yun and Zhang Qian went in.
It was only then that Sun Chong pulled the soldiers of the Nezha Army and asked, "How are things with the Yellow Turban bandits?"
The soldiers of that age immediately recounted what had just happened.
Sun Chong, upon hearing that Liu Guibi White had repelled two or three hundred soldiers of the Nezha Army with his own might, exclaimed in surprise.
But when he heard that Chen Yun had easily subdued and killed such a formidable opponent as Liu Guibi White, who could defeat a hundred men, he couldn't help but secretly marvel, only then realizing the prowess of Master Chen.
...
In the quiet room.
Chen Yun entered the room and sat cross-legged, beginning to repair his inner spirit using the inner observation method.
Time passed one second at a time.
Soon, it grew dark outside.
Finally, Chen Yun ended his meditation and opened his eyes, frowning, "Today my inner spirit suffered serious damage. Even using the inner observation method to repair it, it only had a tiny response. It seems that it will take longer than I expected to fully recover."
The inner spirit is a clear and spiritual being. Particularly for those who have not yet reached a certain level of cultivation, they cannot withstand the power of sunlight.
However, under such circumstances, he had to let his inner spirit out. Otherwise, if Liu Guibi White had taken control of the Jade Sword and used his seventh-level mage power, not only would he have been in trouble himself, but even the two or three hundred elite soldiers of the Nezha Army would not have survived.
And it was precisely because of today's battle that Chen Yun fully understood the tremendous power possessed by a highly skilled mage.
To withstand two or three hundred well-trained soldiers with one's own strength!
And this is only for an inferior mage.
If it were a Golden Elixir cultivator, no amount of army would be of use.
"Although an inferior mage may sound weak, the truth is that only one out of a thousand who practice magic can actually reach that level. Most people can only cultivate a little bit of magic power, and it's already quite good. For example, Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si have been in the transmission hall for several years, but they haven't even completed the cultivation of grain-transformation and spirit-refining."
Chen Yun knew that those who could reach the level of an inferior mage were truly geniuses.
It's not surprising that someone who can channel the immense power of the heavens and earth to unleash a force that can take on a hundred foes.
"I am now an eighth-level mage, barely in the mid-stage. My strength is far from that of Liu Guibi White. If it weren't for the Jade Sword, I would not be able to suppress him."
Chen Yun knew that he could suppress Liu Guibi White because of the Jade Sword.
While magical artifacts are part of one's strength, as Liu Guibi White said before his death, it is impossible for me to always possess the Jade Sword. In the end, having one's own strength truly strong is what matters.
"What amazed me the most was that this Liu Guibi White was able to use a single needle to render two or three hundred elite soldiers helpless. This needle must be a remarkable artifact, I will study it to see if I can use it. If I can, my strength will become even more powerful."
Thinking of this, Chen Yun took out the flying needle from his storage ring.
He carefully gazed at the flying needle, which shone with a cold light.
This is a flying needle made of an unknown material, engraved with dense and intricate symbols.
Chen Yun knew that to control an artifact, one must rely on one's magical power.
Without hesitation, he injected true qi into it.
Unlike the storage ring and the Crimson Gold Chopping Demon Sword, Chen Yun injecting true qi into it was like a stone sinking in the sea, and the flying needle showed no reaction at all.
"Hmm?"
"Hmm? Is it because I injected true qi, it didn't work?"
How did Liu Guibi White control this flying needle?
Suddenly, it occurred to Chen Yun that Liu Guibi White had cultivated an inner spirit.
"Could it be that this flying needle needs to be controlled with spiritual awareness?"
Thoughts racing through his mind, he tried to use his spiritual awareness to touch the surface of the flying needle.
Due to the injury to his inner spirit, as soon as he activated his spiritual awareness, a splitting headache sensation was transmitted back to him.
However, in order to determine whether the flying needle can be controlled with spiritual awareness, he still tried to bear the headache and continued trying.
His spiritual awareness touched the flying needle.
The next moment, the flying needle responded.
Chen Yun felt a "resistance" consciousness coming from the flying needle.
It seems there is another form of energy on it that doesn't want to be controlled by his spiritual awareness.
"Right, the Crimson Gold Chopping Demon Sword was given to me by my teacher, and it has no one's power on it, which is why I could easily consecrate it. This flying needle belongs to someone else and had been consecrated by Liu Guibi White, which is why I couldn't use it."
Chen Yun seemed to understand something, "If I want to use this flying needle, I must consecrate it again."
But each sect has different methods of consecrating artifacts, and he truly didn't know where to start in a hurry.
Suddenly, he remembered the ancient book he obtained from the corpse of Liu Guibi White.
"Not sure if the book contains any records of consecrating the flying needle.”
With such a precious artifact in front of him, Chen Yun definitely couldn't let it pass by.
He took out the book he had obtained from Liu Guibi White's corpse, and checked it with the light of the oil lamp.
The cover of the book was inscribed with "Taiping Yao Shu - The Essence Enlightenment of Liu Guibi White."
Chen Yun thought to himself, "It seems this is some of the spells that Liu Guibi White has derived from Taiping Jing, which is similar in nature to the longevity secret techniques that I have enlightened in the song 'Remove Obstruction and Follow the Path of righteousness.'"
He opened the first page and saw that it contained the methods of cultivating an inner spirit.
The same is true, the internal observation method is similar in small ways to Lin Feiyun's, but the objects of visualization are different.
This was not something worth looking at, Chen Yun continued to turn to the second page.
The title on the second page read "Control the Wind Technique."
"Control the Wind Technique?"
Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled that when he was chasing Liu Guibi White before, the latter's speed was not as fast as that of the arrow charms. However, while walking in the mountains, it was more stable than the jia ma. It seemed to be buoyed up by a clear qi.
Could it be that the technique Liu Guibi White used to escape earlier was the Control the Wind Technique?
Talismans and formulae always have their expiration date and must be placed on the calf to be used.
In fact, the restrictions are very large.
Now, seeing the words "Control the Wind Technique," Chen Yun suddenly showed great interest.
If he could learn this technique, he could escape instantly even without the Jia Ma charm, whenever something happened.
He looked up at the book, seeing that it recorded how powerful the Control the Wind Technique would be once mastered.
Chen Yun watched for a while, then couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, "The Control the Wind Technique allows one to move light as a swallow at first, with actions as swift as lightning and thunder. One can travel five hundred miles a day. If one becomes proficient in it and has enough magical power to support it, one can even fly into the sky, increasing speed to ten thousand miles a day. That's not the most terrifying thing. If one's magical power is strong enough and the technique is cultivated to mastery, one can travel from the morning in the north sea to the evening in Cangwu."
This is a very powerful spell!
Of course, whether it could be as described by Liu Guibi White to travel from morning in the north sea to evening in Cangwu, Chen Yun was still unsure, as he had not tried it yet.
However, one thing is certain: to achieve the lightness of a swallow and travel five hundred miles a day should not be difficult, as Liu Guibi White had already proven that with his actions.
Since the Control the Wind Technique has been proven to be effective, Chen Yun definitely wants to learn it.
He looked down and saw a verse:
"Divine law primordial power, unite with me, gather spiritual energy, your body as if with wings, ride the wind, move freely, ride the wind a thousand miles, soar across the heavens."
