The Lingqi is right before us!
If this thing can be taken by oneself, it will definitely greatly increase one's cultivation!
Chen Yun was excited in his heart, and he was about to grab it and pull it up by the root.
Suddenly!
A sense of extremely dangerous danger suddenly rose in the consciousness.
He keenly felt that the air seemed to stir up some waves.
Although unsure of what danger lay ahead, Chen Yun quickly pulled his hand back.
In the next moment, a green light flashed past his hand position, and then disappeared into the soil without a trace.
"Hmm?"
Chen Yun was puzzled, "What was that just now?"
Chen Yun was surprised, "I did not detect any hidden spiritual beasts around here, so why would a green light suddenly appear?"
He dare not make any moves, "Before, I instinctively felt extremely dangerous, it seems that the green light must be something very powerful."
Chen Yun released his spiritual sense and dived underground to find out what was going on.
However, what made him feel helpless was that his spiritual sense could not detect anything like the green light.
He felt strange, communicating with Qin Liang in the qi beads, "Qin Liang, did you see a green light flash by just now?"
Qin Liang quickly replied, "Reporting to Master, I saw the green light."
Chen Yun was overjoyed, asking, "Can you tell me what kind of thing it was?"
Qin Liang said: "I don't know."
Chen Yun almost choked, feeling somewhat exasperated and saying, "Then why did you say you saw it?"
Qin Liang smiled awkwardly and said, "I saw a green light flash by, but I didn't see what it was."
Well, if we don't even know what it is, it seems very difficult to obtain this Lingqi.
Chen Yun doesn't want to die before he has even accomplished his mission.
When he was at a loss, Ji Xin, who was also residing in the qi beads, suddenly opened his voice and said, "My Lord, although Ji didn't see what it was just now, this thing moves quickly and is completely green. It seems to be somewhat similar to a spiritual beast that I remember."
Chen Yun hurriedly asked, "General Ji, please tell me more."
Ji Xin said: "My Lord, have you heard of the 'Tengshe'?"
Tengshe?
As one of the divine beasts in Taoism, Chen Yun naturally has heard of it.
Tengshe is also known as Tengshe.
A flying snake according to folk tales.
At first listen, it seems unrelated to divine beasts.
In fact, it is not so. Tengshe is often associated with the divinity of tortoises, and therefore is regarded as a manifestation of Wu Xing.
And, among the twelve celestial generals in Taoism, Tengshe is one of them. The other eleven celestial generals are: the Nobleman, the Peacock, Hexia (Six Harmonies), Gou Chen (Xuanwu's Minister), Qing Long (Azure Dragon), Tian Kong (Heavenly Space), Bai Hu (White Tiger), Ta Chang (Great Constellation), Wu Xing (Five Elements), Tai Yin (Supreme Yin), and Tian Hou (Empress of Heaven).
Chen Yun wondered, "So, are you saying that the green glow just now was Tengshe?"
"No." Ji Xin explained in detail: "Tengshe is a true divine beast. The green glow I saw just now was just a fleeting glance, though the view was blurred, but that long worm seemed to have wings on its back. It should be a spirit beast with Tengshe bloodlines. Such spirit beasts, their divinity is soft and their mouths are poisonous, they belong to the southern fire element, if an ordinary person is bitten by one of them, they will instantly die from the poison. And their bodies will burst into unquenchable firewood fire. Well, that Ding fire is also yin fire. Even those who have become immortal will be burnt to death if they touch it."
An immortal who comes into contact with yin fire will also be completely incinerated?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun couldn't help but secretly marvel. If the spirit beast guarding Lingqi is truly a flying snake with Tengshe bloodlines as described by Ji Xin, he may have difficulty obtaining this Lingqi.
The treasure is right in front of you but you can't get it.
He felt incredibly frustrated in his heart.
How can we obtain Lingqi?
Chen Yun was determined not to give up.
Just as Chen Yun was extremely distressed, Ji Xin continued, "If it is indeed a Tengshe, we may have no way to deal with it. But if it merely has the bloodline of a Tengshe, Lord, if you release us brothers, we are sure to take care of this snake."
"Ah?" Chen Yun was a bit confused for a moment by Ji Xin's words, "Can you deal with this snake?"
Ji Xin laughed heartily and said, "Ding fire is one of the ten celestial stems, which is a yin fire. What ordinary living beings in the mortal world are afraid of true immortals? Because it belongs to the yin. We have already become ghosts, so we are not afraid of yin fire. Moreover, this flying snake may be a spirit beast, but it is still an animal. It can only act instinctively. As long as we surround and attack it without direct confrontation, constantly letting it consume its strength, when its strength is depleted, not only can we pick the Lingqi without a problem, but even capturing it directly is possible."
Oh, the theory of interdependence and control.
Ghosts are purely yin "organisms".
Ding fire is a purely yin fire.
Ghosts encountering yin fire is like fish entering water.
Would fish be afraid of water?
The answer is obvious.
As for the poison, that belongs to a "physical level" of attack, and ghosts are already "spirits," so they won't be able to harm ghosts either.
Chen Yun immediately felt relieved and took out the tablet containing the divine weapons without hesitation from his storage ring.
Then, he used the secret law to release Qin Liang, Ji Xin and many divine weapons.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept by.
Shortly afterwards, rays of light shone brightly, and Qin Liang, Ji Xin and three hundred divine warriors suddenly appeared.
Once they appeared, the divine weapons did not need to be commanded by Chen Yun; they formed into a line under Ji Xin's leadership and moved towards the Lingqi to surround it.
Chen Yun stood by the side and watched the battle, with no intention of participating.
The divine warriors were very orderly.
Ji Xin gave a command.
One of the ten-man teams charged straight towards the Lingqi.
As expected, a green light flashed abruptly again.
Instantly, a layer of green, ice-cold-looking flame enveloped the divine warriors of the ten-man team.
When these divine warriors were enveloped by the flame, they quickly retreated.
Another team of divine warriors rode over.
Chen Yun watched clearly. These divine warriors were not injured by the Ding fire; on the contrary, it seemed as if they were absorbing it, as if it were a nourishing food.
As he watched the divine warriors indeed not being injured, Chen Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The second batch of divine warriors charged up, and the green light flashed again.
These divine warriors were once again covered in the green flame like the previous batch.
The third batch.
The fifteenth batch.
The thirtieth batch.
In a short while, all thirty batches of divine warriors had charged around.
However, when the second round of charges began, there were still no signs of exhaustion in the green light.
Chen Yun couldn't help but ask, "General Ji, roughly how many rounds of attacks will it take to subdue it?"
While commanding the formation, Ji Xin turned and smiled, "Although this flying snake only has a little Tengshe bloodline, it is still a descendant of a divine beast. I estimate that it will take an hour to subdue it. My lord, you need not be in a hurry. Please sit down and rest for a while. I will personally and my brothers capture this flying snake."
Chen Yun knew it would take a long time, so he decided not to rush. He nodded and said, "All right, thank you for your hard work, General Ji and brothers. I'll burn several incense sticks for you later."
Ji Xin on his horse immediately roared, "Brothers, our lord will reward us later. Isn't it time to work hard and capture the flying snake quickly?"
"Yes!"
"Wait a moment, my lord, let's see if we can catch it!"
The divine warriors' morale soared, and they charged even more diligently.
A round.
Three rounds.
Half a day has passed, and Chen Yun can't remember how many rounds of attacks the divine warriors have made.
However, he could see that the green glow's movement speed was becoming slower and slower.
From the very beginning when it was as fast as lightning, to now where its movement could be captured by his divine consciousness.
Everyone knows that it's only a matter of time before the flying snake's strength is depleted by the divine warriors.
...
On the other side, outside Mount Emei.
After being chased out by Zuo Ci, Yin Wuji found a clean rock and sat cross-legged on it.
At the same time, he released his divine consciousness and kept watching to see if Chen Yun would come out from Mount Emei.
"Hmph, I can't enter Mount Emei, but I don't believe you can hide inside for a lifetime!"
Yin Wuji closed his eyes and sensed.
Because Mount Emei is too big, he had to spread his divine consciousness widely, almost covering an area of a couple of thousand miles.
What is the divine consciousness?
The divine consciousness is the "power" of cultivators who practice yin spirit cultivation.
If normal exploration with divine consciousness is used, it may not consume much of the user's cultivation.
But Yin Wuji's divine consciousness was spread too widely, covering an area of a couple of thousand miles.
And not long after, he felt that he had consumed a lot of divine consciousness.
"Why hasn't he come out yet?"
Yin Wuji felt a bit puzzled.
But he is quite patient, always keeping his divine consciousness open and waiting for prey.
A cup of tea.
A stick of incense.
Half an hour.
Soon, an hour was almost up.
However, Yin Wuji still had not detected any trace of Chen Yun.
And he had consumed about two-tenths of his divine consciousness due to constantly probing with it.
"This is too much of a waste of divine consciousness. How about I take a rest first and then probe again?"
The thought flashed through Yin Wuji's mind.
However, he frowned and shook his head immediately, "No, if I withdraw my divine consciousness for a while, what if this little fellow runs away?"
He could only grit his teeth and persist.
Only as time went on, the consumption of his divine consciousness became increasingly severe.
Yin Wuji started to waver, "Resting for a bit should be fine."
Thoughts in mind, he withdrew his divine consciousness and sat there to recuperate.
He had just recovered for less than five minutes.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, "I have to take a look and see if this little fellow has come out."
Then he opened his divine consciousness again and still did not find any trace of Chen Yun.
Yin Wuji felt a sudden tension in his heart, "Could the little guy have run away? He shouldn't have. I just rested for a moment, but what if he did?"
For a time, he was filled with doubts and fears, unsure whether to rest or continue probing.
In the end, Yin Wuji acted like a madman, alternating between wanting to rest and closing his divine consciousness and fearing Chen Yun would run away, rushing to reopen his divine consciousness, and fighting with invisible opponents.
Fortunately, Chen Yun was unaware, otherwise he would have been amused to no end by Yin Wuji's actions. A guy collecting celestial spiritual roots in a heavenly realm fighting wits with thin air?
...
An hour had gone by in a blink.
Under the continuous assault by the divine warriors, the flying snake's movements grew increasingly slow, and the Ding fire spewed from its mouth became rarer and rarer.
At this time, Chen Yun could even see the flying snake's appearance without using his divine consciousness.
It was a small snake about the thickness of chopsticks, about four or five inches long, with two black wings on its back, and a green body.
Don't be deceived by its size; it's extremely powerful. It has released Ding fire for an entire hour, and it's gradually losing strength. It might even be more potent than a middle-grade wizard in terms of energy.
Most importantly, the Ding fire released by this flying snake is particularly terrifying. Only the divine warriors are not afraid of it. Chen Yun thinks that if it were him, he might have been burned to death long ago.
Finally, the flying snake had no more strength to fly or spew fire.
Ji Xin immediately went forward to capture it, then brought it in front of Chen Yun, "My lord, I am honored to have completed my mission. I and my brothers have captured it."
"Thank you very much, General Ji and brothers." Chen Yun comforted them, "I'm sure you've expended a lot of effort as well. I'll burn a few more incense sticks for you right away to help you recover your strength quickly."
"Thank you, my lord," Ji Xin said, then asked, "Shall we kill this flying snake, or..."
Chen Yun carefully pondered and said, "It is still a life, killing it isn't good. I'll see if I can subdue it and make it serve me. If possible, I will bring it with me in the future. If not, after I obtain the Lingqi, you guys can release it to leave."
Qin Liang took the opportunity to flatter, "My lord is truly kind-hearted."
Chen Yun took the flattery quite well.
Now that the flying snake has been subdued by the divine warriors, I can obtain Lingqi.
Once I ingest the army refined, my cultivation level and physical body will receive a boost.
Before consuming the Lingqi, he felt it was worth trying to subdue this flying snake that could spew out Ding fire.
Not only is the flying snake's energy profound and fierce, it is also very dangerous. Most importantly, its divine consciousness cannot be detected. If it could be subdued and made to serve himself, he would definitely become more powerful in the future.
