Chen Yun is recovering the true Qi.
Qin Ming rushed over to defend at the first opportunity.
The rest are under the command of Wu Kequan, the first to rescue those underground.
The commotion caused by the centipede breaking through the soil was so great that it further caused the ground to collapse.
The Qi of Gao Chen and Ding Xu, who are buried underground, will run out soon. If they are not rescued in time, they may suffocate to death.
Of course, everyone also sensed that Chen Yun had returned to his original form and seemed to be in a weak state. Naturally, they needed to be vigilant and send someone to protect the laws, so that wild spirits would not take advantage of the opportunity to invade.
Qin Ming was eager to defect and join the orthodox of the spiritual sect. Now, upon seeing this scene, he volunteered to guard the law.
He is indeed very meticulous in his work. While guarding the law, he used his magic to capture the claws of the centipede-type spiritual beast.
This is Chen Yun's spoils of war, it cannot be taken by others.
The common centipede usually has either fifteen pairs of legs or twenty-one pairs of legs.
The centipede-type spiritual beast is a species, unlike common centipedes, which has one hundred and ninety-one pairs of legs.
The centipede is a rather peculiar creature, and it rarely has an even number of legs. Generally, it has an odd number of leg pairs.
The legs of a common centipede are not very large.
However, this centipede-type spiritual beast is of massive size, even though one of its legs that was left after being broken was just one of the three hundred and eighty-two legs, it was still several dozen taels in length.
Qin Ming was extremely loyal to his duties, constantly guarding by Chen Yun's side. Even after Wu Kezhou, Zhang Ling, and others rescued Long Nu Sanjiu and Gao Chen's group, and came to visit, he did not allow anyone to get too close.
Since the incident of Kang Yuan's betrayal, Qin Ming has become more cautious. As Chen Yun is his only possible way to join the orthodox of the spiritual sect, and has actually given him hope and taught him a breathing technique, he can be considered his half-master. Therefore, Qin Ming naturally needs to be careful in guarding Chen Yun, making sure no one gets close to him while he is weakened.
Wu Kezhou, Zhang Ling, and others knew that Qin Ming and Chen Yun were close. Moreover, Gao Chen, Xu Yang, and Long Nu Sanjiu had just been rescued from the ground. They also needed someone to guard the laws and restore their power. They didn't rush in without permission, but instead asked Qin Ming to notify them immediately if Chen Yun woke up.
About one and a half hours later.
After restoring the true Qi with cultivation, Chen Yun slowly opened his eyes and said, "Qin Ming."
"Teacher." Qin Ming rushed forward immediately. "You've awakened?"
Chen Yun grunted and, as he slowly stood up, asked, "How are Gao Chen and his friends doing?"
Qin Ming replied, "Master Wu and the others have already rescued them and are currently restoring their energy through cultivation. They don't recover as quickly as you, so it will take them at least half a day."
Chen Yun's ability to refine his form and return from the afterlife to the original realm is indeed beyond ordinary people, which is his advantage.
"Let's go take a look at them..." Chen Yun said half of his sentence, but then he saw the massive centipede foot not far away, "How did you capture this thing?"
"This thing is a treasure," Qin Ming smiled and introduced, "The feet of the centipede-type spiritual beast, which contain terrifying toxicity. If the poison in them is extracted and used to cast spells to enter a cultivator's body, even if their cultivation is high enough to reach the heavens, they will not be able to resist."
Chen Yun blinked and said, "Isn't it only the mouth that contains poison liquid? How can there be deadly toxins in the feet as well?"
Qin Ming explained, "Generally speaking, a normal centipede only has a venom sac in its first pair of legs, with the rest of the poison concentrated in the head. However, this centipede-type spiritual beast is an alien species; its entire body contains terrifying poisons. Otherwise, how could it continuously release such strong toxic gases? This centipede's foot is not the first pair, but it still has a deadly poison that makes people tremble with fear. It just contains it internally and needs to be extracted by some means."
Chen Yun suddenly understood, realizing why Qin Ming had captured the centipede's foot.
While thinking, Qin Ming continued to introduce, "This thing is not only able to extract the venom to attack the enemy unprepared, but it also has medicinal value. Well, because it is the foot of a centipede-type spiritual beast and its toxicity is quite large, the normal calming wind and suppressing seizures, dredging meridian and alleviating pain are not applicable. Otherwise, people may die instantly from the poison. However, if someone is poisoned by a venomous exotic spiritual beast with no cure available, this thing can be used to counteract the poison. For example, the super venom of creatures such as scorpions, spiders and vipers usually cannot be cured."
Chen Yun's heart stirred, and he asked, "Can the venom extracted from this foot be used to counteract the venom of the centipede-type spiritual beast in its mouth?"
Qin Ming said, "Yes, since it is a part of the centipede-type spiritual beast, it naturally has the possibility to resist the venom in its mouth. Otherwise, when the centipede-type spiritual beast is fighting other creatures and spraying venom accidentally on other parts of its body, what would happen?"
That makes sense. If the centipede's foot can't resist the venom from its mouth, what would happen if it were accidentally sprayed with it? Would it poison itself?
So it seems that this centipede leg is indeed an invaluable treasure.
Just to mention that it has the function of using poison to counteract poison, even if it is not said that its own attack with the toxin extracted from the centipede leg may have unexpected wonders when encountered with strong enemies.
Qin Ming suddenly said again, "Moreover, this centipede-type spiritual beast is even stronger than a human immortal. The outermost layer of its foot's skin has extremely strong toughness. If it is made into a defensive type of magical weapon, it can withstand powerful vibrations and be fearless of the vast majority of poison attacks. It can also prevent weapons or spells that cause harm with sharp edges. After processing the meat beneath the skin, it can be eaten and refined to not only greatly improve a person's recovery ability but also enhance physical strength and refine a lot of Qi, thereby improving one's cultivation level."
Chen Yun blinked and said, "How good is it like the blood of the water python?"
"Of course, the meat of a common centipede-type spiritual beast is not as good as that of a water python," Qin Ming smiled and said, "However, this centipede-type spiritual beast is too strong. Its meat may be better than that of a water python. Well, as for the dragon essence of a water python, it should not be able to compare to it, because the dragon essence is all the essence of a water python's spirit and energy. But this centipede's foot is just one foot among many inconsequential ones of this centipede-type spiritual beast."
Better than the effect of water python's essence blood?
Chen Yun's heart stirred. He knew that when he breaks through to the upper level of magic, the effect of the medium-grade refined essence and spirit body liquid will be greatly reduced. Unless he brews a high-grade refined essence and spirit body liquid, he can maintain his cultivation at a rapid pace. Otherwise, before he reaches the mid-upper level of magic, the effect of the medium-grade refined essence and spirit body liquid may only be slightly stronger than actively practicing.
With the water python's essence blood and the meat of these centipede feet, I can at least ensure that my cultivation will continue to grow at a rapid pace.
Just as the wolf's stomach still has dozens of catties left, Chen Yun thought that even without the high-grade refined essence and spirit body liquid, with the help of the wolf stomach soup, the medium-grade refined essence and spirit body liquid, water python's essence blood, and spider feet, he should be able to reach the mid-upper level of magic. If he's lucky, perhaps even to the late stage.
After taking so many magical soups, Chen Yun roughly grasped their characteristics.
This thing can significantly boost one's cultivation during a certain stage, but not throughout the entire process.
Its function is more like guiding cultivation, making one aware of what to do.
But he only regarded it as a means of cultivating.
Thinking of this, Chen Yun didn't hesitate to take out the small bronze furnace and then used spiritual power to pick up the centipede foot and put it into the hidden compartment.
After doing all this, Chen Yun and Qin Ming used flying techniques to return to the side of everyone else.
At this time, Wu Kezhou, Zhang Ling, and others were guarding the Law for Long Sanjiu, Gao Chen, and Ding Xu.
Everyone gathered around when they saw Chen Yun and Qin Ming return.
Including Long Nu Sanjiu, Gao Chen, Ding Xu, and others as well.
It's obvious that they have already been informed of the situation after being rescued.
"Mr. Chen, you truly have profound laws."
"If it were not for your intervention, we would have perished here."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen……"
The group, with expressions of gratitude, kept thanking Chen Yun without pause.
To be honest, since entering the Moon Day Cave Heaven, we have encountered two irresistible great dangers.
The first was encountering a water python.
The second was being trapped by Kang Yuan and ambushed by centipede-type spiritual beasts.
As for the time when we were attacked by Mei Lin, the situation wasn't actually that dangerous.
These two great dangers would, according to normal circumstances, be impossible for their team to withstand.
But with Chen Yun's intervention, they all managed to turn the dangers into safe situations.
And now, considering Chen Yun's continuous lifesaving gratitude, how could the group not be sincerely grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts?
Chen Yun comforted everyone with a few words and instructed Long Nu Sanjiu, Gao Chen, and Xu Yang to continue restoring their strength.
Long Nu Sanjiu and others were indeed still in a weak state, and they didn't show any hesitation when thanking Chen Yun. After thanking him, they all sat cross-legged again to continue restoring their Qi.
However, Wu Kezhou, Zhang Ling, and others who were intact did not stop praising Chen Yun.
"Mr. Chen, the majestic chicken you transformed earlier was truly shocking to me," Wu Kezhou sincerely praised, "I used my spiritual power to investigate, and I found that the spectacular chicken you transformed was lifelike. If I were to face off against it, even if you didn't use any spells, I would not be your match."
Qin Ming sighed, "Yes, the majestic chicken that reaches ten thousand feet high is not just about making it bigger. Its body structure is incredibly solid, and ordinary spells cannot break through it. Master's transformation technique is indeed something we cannot fathom."
"I was shaking with fear when I saw the massive body of the centipede-type spiritual beast bursting out of the ground over a thousand zhang in size," Zhang Ling said with afterfears, "Who would have thought that Mr. Chen would instantly transform into a rooster that is ten thousand zhang high and enormous multiple times larger than the centipede-type spiritual beast? Mr. Chen's skills are too powerful!"
"Not at all."
"When I saw Mr. Chen's transformed rooster, I was completely stunned."
"I am as well. I never thought there would be such wonderful transformation techniques in the world, ten thousand zhang high rooster, the most important thing is that it looks just like a real one. This grand technique, I've been cultivating for decades and have never heard of it."
Sun Yan, the short-statured cultivator of necromancy, and the remaining twenty-odd people couldn't help but feel scared and shocked when recalling the previous scene.
Everyone has seen transformation techniques, but to transform out a "real" ten thousand zhang high rooster like Mr. Chen Yun did? To be honest, no one in the scene has ever seen such a thing.
Because this is not just about looking ten thousand zhang high; it's also that the bones, muscle density, and all other aspects have experienced a significant increase.
It can be said that the giant rooster Mr. Chen Yun transformed is not just ten thousand zhang high in appearance, but also has muscles that are denser than steel, countless times harder.
From a combat standpoint, transforming into such a massive rooster, as Wu Kezhou said, is almost unbreakable even without using any spells, because of its incredibly powerful physique.
It is this type of transformation technique that can greatly enhance one's combat power that is the reason for everyone's shock.
Ordinary transformation techniques can only change appearance or deceive the mind, how could they possibly enhance combat power?
Wu Kezhou and Qin Ming, although outsiders, have not low vision. They know the power of this transformation technique, which is why they are one by one sincerely praising and astonished. It's not that they are innocently praising something.
Chen Yun naturally understands the minds of the others.
He was also very surprised at the wonder of Lao Liangshen's "Eighty-Nine Mystic Functions" transformation techniques.
Now is not the time to be surprised or not. He has more important things to do.
Or, put another way, Chen Yun's inner heart is secretly filled with an indelible rage.
Kang Yuan's previous act of betrayal deeply enraged Chen Yun's heart, and he swore to kill this scoundrel before becoming a man.
Whether it was Kang Yuan stealing about a hundred spirits grasses or betraying everyone, both were unforgivable acts.
Chen Yun is not someone who bears a grudge easily. If Kang Yuan had only stolen the spirit grasses or simply betrayed everyone, without putting Long Nu Sanjiu, Gao Chen, and others in danger, he would at most give him a lesson based on their past relationship. However, Kang Yuan's actions were too far-reaching. Stealing the spirit grasses was already unacceptable, and it almost caused Long Nu Sanjiu and others to perish here. How could Chen Yun possibly forgive him?
Seeing that the crowd was still praising him, Chen Yun raised his hand to interrupt and directly asked bluntly: "Who among you knows how to perform divination? I want to find out Kang Yuan!"
Upon hearing this, all the people present fell silent.
After so many days, Wu Kezhou, Qin Ming, and Zhang Ling, on the one hand, were worried about the safety of Long Nu Sanjiu and others; on the other hand, they were filled with anger towards Kang Yuan's actions and wished they could kill him immediately.
However, Kang Yuan's escape occurred four or five days ago.
After such a long time, who knows how far Kang Yuan has fled?
The most angry were not Chen Yun, Wu Kezhou, and Qin Ming, who had not encountered danger, but Long Nu Sanjiu and Ding Xu, and others who were buried deep in the earth. They all felt desperate at the time and thought they would not escape this time. The immense terror of life or death and being judged by their so-called "close friend" Kang Yuan, left them both enraged and helpless.
The anger is directed at Kang Yuan's unscrupulous behavior.
The helplessness lies in the fact that at that time, they could not even defend themselves, let alone kill that evil villain.
Now that Chen Yun has transformed into a giant rooster ten thousand zhang high with his grand technique, scaring off the centipede-type spiritual beast, Long Nu Sanjiu and Ding Xu and others have managed to break free from their predicament. Naturally, they channel all their anger towards the prime culprit, Kang Yuan.
"Mr. Chen, the old woman has a little knowledge of tracking techniques," Long Nu Sanjiu, who was recovering her Qi, suddenly opened her eyes and said, "As long as anyone here has an object that has been contaminated with Kang Yuan's Qi, I can use a secret method to track it."
Long Nu Sanjiu has tracking techniques.
As long as they can track down that scoundrel, with his current cultivation level, Chen Yun should be able to kill him without any problem.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun's eyes narrowed slightly. Kang Yuan, your time of death has come!
