The Lo Xie is a zombie.
Chen Yun obtained this gold armor Lo Xie, originally it was a relatively powerful white-haired zombie.
Zombies have levels of high and low, such as newly formed zombies called Zi Jing. This type of zombie is completely purple, the body is initially not decomposed, emits a strong smell of corpses, generally has little to no combat power.
Above that are the Bai Jing and Hei Jing, which means their bodies are white or black. At this stage, the zombies have certain capabilities to harm people, but they are more afraid of sunlight and fire. For example, in most of Lin Zhenying's zombie films, the majority of the zombies are of this kind.
The even higher level Green Zombie is amazing. Its corpse gas and body are both green, its movements are agile, and its combat power is high. It is not afraid of attacks by ordinary means, but only the most rigid and strong things can harm it.
Chen Yun's gold-armored Lo Xie belongs to the higher-level hair zombie. This type of zombie grows hair, has bronze skin and iron bones, looks like a ghost, jumps like flying, and cannot be injured at all by ordinary fire or sunlight.
Now hearing that Master Zhang is to transform the gold-armored Lo Xie into a mountain-guarding spirit.
Chen Yun's heart suddenly jumps violently, thinking: Master Zhang won't help me turn this gold-armored Lo Xie into a fierce and abnormal flying zombie, will he?
Legend has it that when zombies become demons, they become bata. After becoming bata, the zombies can fly, also known as flying stiff, and are said to be able to kill immortals and devour gods, moving as swiftly as wind.
Wherever the flying zombie goes, the land turns barren for miles, making it the king of zombies.
According to the "Mysterious Records": "There is a person in the south who is about two or three feet tall, naked, with eyes on top of his head, who moves like wind, named Bata. When he appears in a country, there is a great drought, with a land that turns red for miles."
This is not the most terrifying thing about flying stiff.
In legend, within the range of the flying zombie's demon aura, it can instantaneously suck dry the essence blood of all living creatures.
If you have a flying zombie under your command, your combat strength would be incredible.
Chen Yun was excited in his heart.
Master Zhang looked at the Lo Xie, "I will transform it into a bata. However, a bata is too fierce, so before that, Chen Chong, you must promise me one thing."
Chen Yun replied quickly, "Master, I will definitely follow your instructions."
Master Zhang's expression was serious, "Before you have the ability to suppress its demonic aura, do not take it out of the range of Qing Cheng Mountain. I have left talismans in Qing Cheng Mountain. This Lo Xie, even if transformed into a bata, will not unleash its demonic aura and cause trouble. Only an unprecedentedly powerful body can provide you with some help. Even so, ordinary high-powered sorcerers cannot deal with this bata. If one day you can suppress its demonic aura, I will give you an infinite jar, this is a containment artifact for Bata to reside in it permanently and listen to your orders."
Chen Yun said, "I will strictly follow your orders."
Master Zhang nodded in satisfaction and did not say anything else.
He extended his hand and pointed at the Lo Xie, and a burst of purple flames erupted from his fingertip.
Upon appearing, the purple flames instantly enveloped the Lo Xie's body, transforming into raging infernos that were burning fiercely.
The gold-armored Lo Xie was struggling in the flames, revealing a look of agony.
Along with the burning purple divine fire, the Lo Xie's body was shrinking, from its original length of one man to gradually becoming two or three feet high. Furthermore, its hair turned gradually into a light golden color, as if it were a monkey, and the difference from a monkey was that this Lo Xie had only one "foot".
But its powerful demonic aura swept through, engulfing the surroundings with terrifying flames.
Fortunately, Master Zhang used his finger to seal the demonic aura within the Lo Xie's body.
At this time, the Lo Xie transformed into a bata, seemed to open up intelligence, as if children looking around, its eyes revealing curiosity.
Master Zhang extended his hand and summoned a clump of muddy soil to fly in from outside.
Master Zhang quickly formed hand gestures, and a series of talismans composed of divine aura were inserted into it.
Gradually, the clump of mud transformed into an infinite jar.
Master Zhang held the jar, aimed it at the bata, and sternly commanded, "Wretch, quickly enter the jar!"
The bata's face showed a terrified expression, and it was instantly captured and taken into the infinite jar by a white light.
After completing all this, Master Zhang handed the jar to Chen Yun, "Cheng Yong, hold this jar. Once you arrive at Qing Cheng Mountain, take out the bata from the jar. If you leave Qing Cheng Mountain in the future, remember to keep it in the jar. The jar must be left in the mountain; never bring it outside."
Chen Yun took the jar solemnly and said, "Thank you, Master for your generous gift."
Zhong Liuyuan opportunely said, "Since the matter is busy, Master, I will take Chen Yun to cultivate in the mortal world. I will come and bother you again in the future if there is time."
Master Zhang glanced at the side, "Take Ji Wen to cultivate in the mortal world as well, he will arrange a dwelling for Cheng Yong."
Zhong Liuyuan replied, "Very well."
Zhang Jiwen rushed to the ground and said, "Old ancestor, I will leave now."
Chen Yun first informed the monks about the tiger's request, and then performed due etiquette before following his master down to the mortal world.
...
Different from the ascending staircase.
Zhong Liuyuan directly used a powerful law to bring the two back to the mountain, which only took a moment.
Walking on the winding mountain path, Zhang Jiwen in front pointed at the main peak of Qing Cheng Mountain and said, "The top of that large peak in front is where the cave residence is."
Chen Yun looked in the distance and saw that the top of Daimian Peak seemed to be a very wide plain, about 60 or 70 miles wide from a distance.
The three of them chatted and gradually climbed up Daimian Peak.
As soon as they reached the top, Chen Yun was captivated by the scenery of Daimian Peak.
Only here can one find magical birds, beasts, and rare flowers and plants, all of which are present.
In addition, there are jade pavilions and halls, precious trees, and golden sand fields.
The water is clear and sweet, and the grass is spiritual and beautiful.
This is the top of the peak, often covered with clouds and mist.
After passing by the precious trees and entering the cave by their side, Chen Yun's eyes widened in amazement as a large Daoist temple came into view, occupying about two or three mu of land, of a similar size to the Chuan Daoist Temple.
Zhang Jiwen then bowed and said, "Teacher, Brother Chen Chong, you two may temporarily reside here. I will be in the nearby jade pavilion. If there is anything, just call out, and Ji Wen will definitely arrive immediately."
Zhong Liuyuan nodded slightly and said, "Today, I have trouble with you, Ji Wen."
Zhang Jiwen made a few more polite remarks and then left to return to the jade pavilion.
After Zhang Jiwen left, Zhong Liuyuan picked an eastern room for Chen Yun and stayed in the main hall himself.
Everything in the observance was complete, as if it had already been prepared.
...
Main Hall.
Zhong Liuyuan lay half-recumbent on the bed, looking at the respectful Chen Yun standing in front of him and said in a slow voice, "Cheng Yong, I know you must have many questions in your heart today."
Chen Yun spoke sincerely, "Indeed, I am very puzzled."
Zhong Liuyuan smiled and explained, "Don't say ordinary people, even the immortals in the sky want a red date fruit easily. My teacher has given you four red date fruits, which have cost a lot of effort. You will know about this later. As for why I asked for four red date fruits for you, it is because you have obtained a godly status this time for Chen Wen, and the people who have offended you are quite fierce."
Four pieces?
Is it not three pieces?
Chen Yun was still in a state of confusion and thought that the remaining fire date fruit was also for him. How could his teacher not let him eat it?
Zhong Liuyuan continued speaking, "There is a difference between immortals and mortals, which you know. Because of this rule, if Xie Wu Yang comes to seek revenge, my teacher cannot personally intervene. Wang Lao Zhi is not a match for him either, so my teacher is taking you to avoid the spearhead."
Chen Yun knew that his teacher had not finished speaking and remained silent, listening attentively.
As expected, Zhong Liuyuan said, "That Xie Wu Yang should not directly bully others because of his status, otherwise he would be laughed at. However, this is only a temporary matter. If the war of deification comes, he will certainly take action. By then, even if your cultivation has grown significantly, you may not be his opponent. Therefore, my teacher has given you three red date fruits to bridge the gap in your strength. If one day you meet him in the battle of deification, you will have a fighting chance. This way I can buy time until my teacher or your senior brothers and nephews with high-powered law arrive."
Ah, so that's why.
Chen Yun understood roughly why his teacher had asked for the red date fruits on his behalf.
To put it simply, it's making up for himself.
As Master Zhong had said, it was a great fortune for Chen Yun to have secured the divine status for Zheng WenShu this time, but it was also openly offending Xie Wu Yang, and the latter would definitely take revenge on behalf of his son.
Every day, Xie Wu Yang may not dare to bully others because of his status, but on the battlefield of the divine war, there is no such thing as whether it is right or wrong to bully others. At that time, Xie Wu Yang can act without any constraints. At that time, there will be no one around to protect you all the time, and you will have to rely on yourself to hold him off until Zhong Liuyuan, Lv Dongbin, and Zheng WenSu can come to solve the problem.
As for why it is three red date fruits instead of one, Chen Yun has not figured it out yet.
Fortunately, Zhong Liuyuan explained himself, "Initially, I told you and Master Zhang that red date fruits are sacred fruit born from the original Dao Qi. We cannot predict what kind of form it will take before it appears. It may not necessarily be strong. I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat Xie Wu Yang. Red date fruits have a property that the more one consumes, the more forms it can take. And each form will always be stronger than the previous one. That's why Zhao Peng ZhenZun's first manifestation was three-headed and six-armed, and his second manifestation was four-headed and eight-armed."
Chen Yun blinked and said, "Master's meaning is that if I manifest my third Dao body, I will certainly obtain an extremely powerful Dao body?"
"Exactly," Zhong Liuyuan nodded and said, "So from today on, besides practicing cultivation, you also need to sense the Dao Qi within your body every day. If you can sense it, try to control it with your spirit and stimulate the birth of your first Dao body as soon as possible. This will allow you to manifest your third Dao body before the war of deification arrives."
Chen Yun said, "Student will comply."
Zhong Liuyuan continued, "In addition, Xie Wu Yang will not personally join the battle because of his status. His disciples from Yinshan sect may not be the same. Therefore, I hope you can cultivate to early-stage mage level this year so that you will have self-preservation power by then."
Chen Yun replied, "Student will diligently practice and not let down Master's expectations."
Down-level mage mid-stage means six-level mage, and Chen Yun is currently at the early-mid stage of level seven, which is still a long way from becoming a six-level mage.
However, he believed that with the cultivation of jing hua qi tang, he could become a six-level mage within a year.
"My teacher here still has one red date fruit," Zhong Liuyuan said with a playful smile: "If you can rely on your own cultivation to become an immortal, that's best. If not, this red date fruit is the opportunity for enlightenment that my teacher leaves for you."
"Ah?"
Is the remaining red date fruit my opportunity for enlightenment?
Chen Yun remembered that the "Great Luo Elixir" mentioned the fire date fruit required for its creation, which seemed to be a low-level fire date fruit, not an exquisite fire date fruit used for manifesting a Dao body.
He was thinking, if he could become an immortal through his own cultivation, how should he obtain the fire date fruit that his teacher had requested for him?
It's too difficult to randomly obtain a heavenly root of this level, which is why Chen Yun was thinking.
Thinking, he blinked his eyes and said, "Master, I will definitely rely on my own cultivation to become an immortal. Perhaps I won't need this fire date fruit, but could I ask for a request?"
Zhong Liuyuan asked, "What request?"
Chen Yun showed his fox's tail, "If I can become an immortal through my own cultivation, could you treat the remaining fire date fruit as a reward for my cultivation achievements and bestow it upon me?"
Zhong Liuyuan laughed and said, "You are a greedy boy. If you can't get the red date fruit, I'm afraid there will be a strong attachment in your heart. All right, if you can become an immortal through your own cultivation, this red date fruit shall be gifted to you."
Are you really willing to give it to me?
Chen Yun was overjoyed, another legendary fragment!
With such a sacred master, it will be much easier to collect heavenly roots.
He was too happy in his heart.
Just as he was secretly elated, Zhong Liuyuan suddenly said again, "You have practiced the method of integrating qi and body from Zhao Gongming. Your flesh is very strong, and when you manifest your Dao body in the future, your flesh will become incredibly strong. If you do not know the art of combat, it is a waste to have such a strong body. So tonight, take a good rest. Tomorrow, I will formally teach you the martial arts of killing with your flesh."
Chen Yun had always been troubled by not being able to unleash the power of his strong flesh, and now that he heard his teacher would pass on martial arts, he was overjoyed. However, he was quite curious and asked, "Master, do you also know martial arts?"
Zhong Liuyuan laughed and said, "Before my teacher became an immortal, I served as a general in the Han Dynasty. So, do you think I wouldn't know martial arts? Also, let me tell you that my father was also a general in the Han Dynasty, and my older brother Zhong Liyan once held the title of a young envoy."
In Chen Yun's past life, there is no information that can trace back to the fact that Zhong Liuyuan's family was a military door in the Han Dynasty. This information only circulates among the folk.
Of course, in this world of Taoist mythology, the folk tales must have evolved into the truth.
Therefore, the Zhong family in this world is indeed a military family.
Since they are from a military family, their martial arts must be very high-level.
Chen Yun couldn't help but look forward, wondering what kind of powerful combat techniques his teacher would teach him.
