The next day, around 9 o'clock in the morning.
After practicing qigong, Chen Yun was repairing the "Hui Xian Observation" in the village.
He couldn't stand the dilapidated state, so he took the initiative to repair the broken parts of the house, and while descending the mountain, he bought some paint to repaint the windows and doors.
The white monkey sat by the side of a flower bed that had long since had no plants, eating the fruits that Chen Yun bought from the market with a big mouth, occasionally making a "zhe" sound, which was similar to human children.
Just as she was busy, Xie Ziruan's voice like orioles behind, "What are you doing?"
Chen Yun, who was floating in the air painting the eaves, turned around and smiled, "I see the temple is outdated, so I'm taking this opportunity to paint it; it'll look brighter and more beautiful."
Xie Ziruan made a "oh" sound.
Chen Yun still thought the other party didn't like it, so he hurriedly said: "If the true person doesn't like it, I will stop now."
"You can keep painting," Xie Ziran said indifferently. "I don't paint the paint because I'm not good at it, and I like tranquility in my daily life. I haven't had any disciples stay here before, so indeed, it doesn't look very pleasant."
Chen Yun sweated a little, thinking in his heart, "I see, it's because he doesn't know how to paint that caused this."
To put it another way, even though immortals possess the ability to move mountains and flood rivers, in folklore, they are not omnipotent. Not knowing how to paint is quite normal.
However, if an immortal wants to keep the house from looking dilapidated, there are plenty of ways to do so.
Chen Yun estimated that Xie Ziran was more "lazy," so he didn't feel like putting in the effort.
With his permission, he used the power of wind to paint all the houses in the temple quickly.
It has to be said that after his flesh became strong, he worked extremely quickly.
After finishing the job, Chen Yun just put down the paint bucket.
Xie Ziruan casually threw something over, "Take it."
Chen Yun quickly reached out and caught it, only to see that it was a small sword with an ancient and elegant appearance, shimmering with a golden light.
Xie Ziruan explained casually, "This is a flying sword. If you consecrate it with true qi for forty-nine days, no one will be able to take it away from you. By injecting true qi when using it, the sword will follow your intention and move."
Chen Yun was puzzled and asked, "How can one fly with such a small sword?"
"Fly with a sword?" Xie Ziran was taken aback and asked, "Why do you need to fly with a sword? Using wind power or riding clouds and mist isn't good enough?"
Chen Yun stammered, "Is there no one who flies with a sword?"
Xie Ziran furrowed his brows and said, "I have never heard of such a thing."
Chen Yun suddenly remembered something. The first appearance of sword flying seemed to be in the Yuanming Dynasty, and there were only scattered records in a few texts such as "Taiping Guangji (Ming School)," "Yijian Zhi Bǔ Ju," "Yongzhuang Xiao Bian," and "Dingjing Jingwu Lüe."
Although this world is different from his previous life, Chen Yun guessed that the "technology" of sword flying had not been developed yet, so there was naturally no such thing as sword flying.
Okay, there's a bit of a small regret.
Chen Yun asked, "Sage, how powerful is this flying sword?"
Xie Ziran very detailedly answered, "The six pieces of Yao Yu in the Azure Water and Purple Star Fire, and the Qi of Yin Stone in the Jing Guang Heavenly Fire, have been stored in the Yi Bi Ni sword body. Even if you have copper skin and iron bones, it can still cut it. It can also release the Qi of Azure Water and Yao Yu to break enemies. If hit, no one below the Sage can bear it."
Fuck, is it so powerful?
Chen Yun couldn't wait and performed a simple consecration, then tried to drive the flying sword.
In the next moment, the flying sword revolved around him.
Chen Yun controlled the flying sword to aim at the boulder by the door and strike it.
Instantly, the boulder was split into two, with a smooth surface like a mirror, indicating the sharpness of the sword.
He then tried to release the Qi of Yao Yu from the sword, and in an instant, the sword was engulfed by flames. Chen Yun controlled the flying sword to strike again at the split boulder.
This time, before the flying sword struck, both boulders were melted into magma by the high temperature!
Seeing the fierce Yao Guang Fire, Chen Yun couldn't wait any longer and had the flying sword release the Yin Water.
The flying sword suddenly shone with a shimmer, and in an instant, it froze the scorching lava!
That's powerful!
This thing is incredibly powerful!
Chen Yun felt that if Yin Wu Ji were hit by this flying sword, either he would be cut in half, directly burned to ashes by the Yao Guang Fire, or frozen into ice sculptures.
He played with it for a while before reluctantly putting it away.
Xie Ziruan seemed to have a lot of patience, just waiting there without prompting. When she saw Chen Yun put away the flying sword, she finally said, "Let's go."
Chen Yun asked, "Where are we going?"
Xie Ziruan said, "I'm going to find an opponent for you. Remember, you can only use your physical strength. You are not allowed to use true qi or spirit power, nor are you allowed to use any artifacts. Of course, this also includes talismans."
Since the opponent wants to teach him how to cultivate his physical body, they must want to see the strength of his flesh.
Chen Yun said, "Very well."
In fact, this is his first opportunity to perform in front of Xie Ziruan. Whether he can learn the Big Law of Xie Ziruan, he still needs to see how well he performs today.
...
The two flew on the wind, quickly arriving in a gorge.
Because it was going to fight, so did not bring the white monkey together.
As soon as they landed, Xie Ziruan lightly stamped the ground with her foot.
Suddenly, the whole mountain shook violently, and the ground was shaking.
Chen Yun secretly worried about Xie Ziruan's power, which was pure using her physical body to shake the earth and mountains!
Just as he was secretly alarmed, several strange screams suddenly came from the gorge, among which there were also human words.
Although the sound was sharp and weird, it was not like normal human speech.
"That crazy woman has come again!"
"Brothers, run quickly!"
The screams sounded out, and several black figures zoomed up into the sky at high speed.
Xie Ziruan reached out a hand to the sky and grasped it, and the several black figures, as if subjected to a powerful pulling force, were pulled down directly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three or four black figures crashed into the ground, forming several large holes, and also stirred up the dust flying.
The black shadows moved so quickly that Chen Yun couldn't see what they were.
Only when the three or four black shadows, who were both angry and frightened, jumped out of the large holes did Chen Yun finally see what they were.
A giant brown bear about four or five meters high, a lynx like a northeastern tiger in size, a rhinoceros as big as an African elephant, and a thin and agile monkey.
Don't look at the brown bear's large size; it looked at Xie Ziruan in fear and asked, "What do you... what do you want?"
Xie Ziran replied indifferently, "Where is your big brother, the mountain demon?"
The monkey seemed to be more alert, "Sage, our brothers and I have not done any harm since we descended the mountain. Don't tease us every time you teach your disciples. Please have mercy on us. If we've offended you in any way, I apologize to you here."
It seems this isn't the first time.
Chen Yun couldn't help but look at Xie Ziran's profile.
Xie Ziran remained expressionless, "Answer my question."
The lynx looked at the rhinoceros, and seeing the rhinoceros nod slightly, it helplessly said, "Today is the day for the Mountain God to take roll call, checking if any spirits in the mountains have caused trouble. Our big brother went to meet with the Mountain God."
Xie Ziran's tone was without any fluctuation, "Since the mountain demon is not here, you guys should accompany him in training."
The brown bear was almost crying, "Sage, the young girl you taught last time, the female Taoist of high rank named Xiangruo, we are only as strong as her big brother and her. The rest of us haven't even transformed into human form yet, let alone reaching the level of a medium-ranking Taoist. How can we be the opponent of your disciple? If you want to beat us up, just do it and get it over with. Don't keep teasing us like this!"
Since Chen Yun did not use the Profound Energy Vision, he naturally did not know the strength of these monsters. Now that he heard the brown bear's self-reported power, he realized that all of these monsters were equivalent to medium-level Taoist cultivators.
To know that wild beasts are more difficult to transform into demons than humans.
Therefore, demons at the same level are often more powerful than human cultivators.
For example, this giant brown bear has such a large body and terrifying strength. If a medium-level Taoist cultivator were to face it, it would be difficult to be an opponent unless it was much higher in cultivation level.
Xie Ziran pointed to Chen Yun and said, "He is only at the middle level of refining his body, and his cultivation level is similar to yours. As long as you accompany him in a fight today, if you win, I'll give you some pills. If you lose, I'll also help you heal your wounds. How about that?"
The monkey's eyes lit up and, imitating humans, kowtowed and bowed, "Sage, does that mean as long as our group can defeat him, we'll be able to get some elixir pills?"
Xie Ziran nodded slightly, "Mmm."
"Let's discuss it."
"Please."
The monkey immediately waved to the other three monsters, and the four of them gathered to discuss it.
Chen Yun stood there waiting, analyzing whether he had a chance to win if he faced these monsters.
To be honest, relying solely on the strength of his physical body, it would be very difficult to win.
However, Chen Yun today is not only to show his strength to Xie Ziran, but also to see if he can excite Taoist energy in the fight. Therefore, Xie Ziran is filled with combativeness.
"The boy doesn't look strong."
"Yes, Xie the Sage said that the boy is at the middle level of refining his body, with a cultivation level similar to ours. He should be easy to deal with."
"Then who should we send?"
"Let my old bear go, and directly smack him into a meatcake."
"Are you crazy? If you smash him into a meatcake, won't we all be slaughtered by Xie the Sage? She's a immortal and can't directly kill us, but that girl under her is incredibly powerful. It's like killing chickens for her."
The three or four monsters' words and actions showed that they didn't even consider Chen Yun, as if they were certain to win.
The final consensus was that the brown bear would fight.
The huge brown bear stood there, looking down at Chen Yun with disdain, "Little Taoist, don't say that our group of brothers bullied you into letting me fight. Blame it on Xie the Sage luring us with elixir pills. If you get hurt by mistake later, don't blame me."
Chen Yun's character was usually quite good-natured. He didn't get angry because of the brown bear's disdain, but instead smiled and said, "Please show mercy."
Xie Ziran stood to the side and coldly said, "Enough, stop talking. Start the fight directly."
The lynx, monkey, and rhinoceros also hurriedly ran far away, clearing a spacious battlefield for the one person and one bear.
Although they stood far away, their attention was not on the battlefield, but on what elixirs Xie Ziran would reward them with.
It's clear that they don't think Chen Yun has the ability to defeat the brown bear.
It's no wonder they thought that way. The brown bear was already incredibly strong, and now that it has transformed into a demon, it's hard for a human cultivator to not only win but even to break through its defense.
Of course, they never thought that Chen Yun had the possibility of defeating the brown bear.
However, while the three demons were discussing,
Suddenly!
A whistling sound broke the air.
Following that, a massive figure flew out violently and crashed into the mountain wall.
Boom!
The mountain wall shook slightly.
The three demons stared in disbelief, seeing the brown bear "embedded" in the mountain wall, it was impossible to pry it out!
Ah?
What just happened?
The three demons were taken aback and hurriedly looked towards Chen Yun, who stood in place with a composed expression, as if he had just done something trivial.
It's worth noting that normal adult brown bears are between 1.8 meters to 2 meters in length, and weigh between 330 to 500 pounds.
Their brown bear brother, having transformed into a demon, was much larger than an ordinary brown bear, standing at least four to five meters tall, and weighed an astonishing 2000 plus pounds. It would take at least ten or more adult men to lift it.
Now, Chen Yun had actually struck silently and sent the brown bear demon flying out nearly 100 meters, and even crashed into the mountain wall?
The three demons' eyes were slightly dazed, realizing the extent of power contained within Chen Yun's seemingly frail physique!
