Chen Yun did not immediately answer Yan Feng's question.
He was considering something, and the other party spoke with sincerity, leaving no discernible flaws.
Yan Feng is an old monster who may have lived for thousands of years or even more.
To put it bluntly, a pig living for so long would have become very cunning, let alone Yan Feng, who is a human?
Chen Yun wasn't sure how much of what Yan Feng had said to him just now was true and how much was false.
Looking back, he might have participated in it and even been manipulated or attacked.
This kind of thing is not impossible.
As the saying goes, money and riches can stir the heart.
The gold axe and gold scissors are much more precious than wealth.
Who knows if Yan Feng will turn on them at the last moment?
The most important thing is that Yan Feng casually revealed his "ace" to him.
Chen Yun has practiced for decades, practicing in the genuine lineage of the Mystic School, which emphasizes spirituality. Even so, he does not know the "hand" of his elder brother and nephew with whom he lived together day and night before, how can Yan Feng, an outsider, justify telling him his "hand"?
Of course, what the other person said could also be the truth.
Revealing everything to gain his greatest support.
If it were just anyone, Yan Feng might not have revealed his "hand". However, he is a Daoist of the genuine lineage of the Mystic School, which can be seen from his attire. The "credibility" is relatively high, and the possibility of being insincere is smaller. Therefore, revealing all his "hands" should not be a problem.
Both possibilities exist.
Chen Yun made an inaccurate judgment for a moment.
However, for his own safety, he finally shook his head and spoke softly: "Thank you for your invitation, Daoist Yan. The Daoist is not very interested in gold axes and gold scissors."
Yan Feng sighed, "Well then, it seems I will have to take the risk myself."
Chen Yun nodded and said, "Since I have declined your invitation, it would be inappropriate for me to accept the Azure Skylon White Butterfly. I will go elsewhere to search for it."
Yan Feng shouted to stop him and said, "Hey, Daoist Chen, wait a minute!"
Chen Yun looked back and asked, "Is there anything else, Daoist Yan?"
Yan Feng made a gesture that was half-smiling, yet showed no expression on his face, "As the saying goes, 'Even if a deal does not succeed, there is still respect for righteousness'. I admire Daoist Chen's honesty and am willing to introduce myself by presenting a branch of Azure Skylon White Butterfly."
Hmm?
This person seems to have a good temperament.
Chen Yun did not take it lightly and smiled and asked, "Is it a gift? Are there any other requirements?"
Yan Feng shook his head and said, "No. I just want to be friends with Daoist Yan. Of course, if in the future Daoist sees me in danger, he can help me out on the basis of our friendship today. That would be the best."
Chen Yun felt a strong sense of straightforwardness and his liking for Yan Feng increased considerably.
After a moment of consideration, Chen Yun said, "Very well, if the Daoist Yan encounters danger in the future, I will definitely do my best to help."
Yan Feng widened his mouth in a smile, yet still showing no expression, "Good, thank you for your kindness."
Chen Yun made a few polite comments.
As the Azure Skylon White Butterfly has not yet matured, both of them continued to hover in the depths of the white clouds and chat idly, waiting for it to mature.
They chatted for a little over an hour.
Yan Feng seemed to remember something, "Chen Daoist, I should tell you about the gold axe and gold scissors in detail. If you change your mind later and want to join forces with me to seize the treasure, there's still time. After all, there's still some time before it appears."
Chen Yun is quite interested in the gold axe and gold scissors.
After all, such a super weapon is something rare and hard to come by.
He said, "Alright, go ahead."
Yan Feng pointed to the southern direction of the Moon and Sun Gushing Spring and asked, "Do you see a massive burning cloud over there?"
Chen Yun looked in the direction indicated by Yan Feng.
Indeed, he saw a large burning cloud in the southwest direction, covering almost half of the sky.
This burning cloud was somewhat magical, faintly showing the shape of the legendary Phoenix bird.
Chen Yun replied, "I see."
Yan Feng introduced the situation, "I believe before you came to the Moon and Sun Gushing Spring, you must have heard that a root stem of the sun tree has spread over here, which is why there is a 'fire path' constantly emitting scorching hot flames. Over there, it is the place where the root stem of the sun tree has spread over and where the spiritual force is most abundant. In other words, there is a vast basin filled with solar true fire because of the intense heat of solar true fire. This caused a huge basin to be formed. The gold axe and gold scissors are located there, guarded by two descendants of the red phoenix and Shenlong bird."
Chen Yun was taken aback and thought of a critical issue, "Daoist Yan, since you know the location of the gold axe and gold scissors, why do you have to wait for them to appear before retrieving them? Why can't you go there now?"
Yan Feng seemed to be smiling involuntarily, "The gold axe and gold scissors are not like ordinary treasures. They are incredibly powerful. If you were to retrieve them while the spirit of the artifact is asleep, there is a high chance you might be injured by mistake. Only when the spirit awakens can you communicate with it, and then you can carry out the ritual for refining the treasure."
Oh.
So the gold axe and gold scissors are similar to 'Thousand Homes in Luminous Lights', both of which are treasures possessing artifact spirits.
The only thing is, I don't know if the power of the gold axe and gold scissors is as great as that of 'Thousand Homes in Luminous Lights'.
Chen Yun pondered and said, "I see."
Yan Feng made a noise of acknowledgement, "That's about it. If Daoist Yan decides to change his mind later, he can wait outside the basin on the southwest side of the burning cloud nine months from now. At that time, I will join forces with you to enter the basin and try to obtain the gold axe and gold scissors. Of course, if you do not come, I will go in alone."
Chen Yun laughed, "There are still nine months, so there's no hurry. I will certainly think it over carefully. Ah, Daoist Yan, you've told me where the gold axe and gold scissors are located. Are you not afraid that I might sneak over alone and take the treasure?"
Yan Feng remained calm and said, "If Daoist Yan can defeat the descendants of the red phoenix and Shenlong bird with his own strength, then the gold axe and gold scissors should naturally belong to you. Why should I worry? However, I would like to persuade you that the descendants of the red phoenix and Shenlong bird are too strong. Daoist Yan, it is better not to take such risks alone."
Broad-minded!
This person is so broad-minded!
Chen Yun had never encountered someone with such a generous personality.
To be honest, from that moment on, his intention to make friends with Yan Feng became more sincere.
Chen Yun said, "Thank you for the reminder, Daoist. I can give you my word here that even though I know where the gold axe and gold scissors are, if I change my mind later, I will definitely not go alone to retrieve them. You can rest assured about that."
Yan Feng looked at him seriously and nodded, saying, "I believe you."
The two of them chatted about the descendants of the Red Phoenix and Shenlong bird for about an hour.
At this moment, the Azure Skylon White Butterfly had become increasingly moist and lustrous, as if it was about to mature.
Yan Feng looked and said, "The Azure Skylon White Butterfly will be fully mature in half an hour. At that time, Daoist can take one for himself."
Chen Yun thanked, "Thank you."
Yan Feng casually asked, "May I ask a question? In the next nine months, where do you plan to explore, Daoist Chen?"
Chen Yun thought for a moment and honestly said, "I need to gather some earthly roots and precious materials to refine my medicines, as well as some divine treasures to craft weapons. I will probably spend most of my time collecting these."
Yan Feng said, "Before I became a Daoist, I visited the Moon and Sun Gushing Spring countless times, and I am somewhat familiar with this place. If Daoist Chen finds some earthly roots or precious materials difficult to locate, perhaps you can share with me, and I will see if I remember where they are. Well, this is quite confidential. If you feel uncomfortable sharing, there is no need to tell me."
Chen Yun felt a bit like he considered Yan Feng as a friend.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell Yan Feng what he needed.
It would be fine to tell Yan Feng about these things.
Because he was only searching for the part of the earthly roots that were missing for the elixir of transformation, and not the complete recipe for all the ingredients.
The same is true for crafting weapons.
The core material he needed to refine was the Dao Qi of Pre-Qian period.
as well as the purple-golden gourd granted by Laojun.
Without these, even if he collected all the precious materials he said, it wouldn't be of much use.
Therefore, Chen Yun told Yan Feng openly what he needed.
After saying this, he asked with a hint of concern, "Daoist, have you ever heard of anywhere that has these things?"
"The things you need are quite precious, difficult to find," Yan Feng seemed to be frowning, but it was still hard to tell what expression he had, "Some things I have never heard of."
Hearing this, Chen Yun was quite disappointed, thinking that he wouldn't have any gains.
Unexpectedly, Yan Feng's next sentence was, "However, I seem to remember hearing about something called the Starry Yuan Fruit."
Chen Yun quickly asked, "Where have you heard about it?"
Yan Feng carefully recalled the memory and said, "A thousand three hundred years ago, when I first entered the Moon and Sun Gushing Spring, I encountered a very kind senior who was a true practitioner of the Daoist Sect. After saving me from the mouth of a spiritual beast, he mentioned to me about the Starry Yuan Fruit during our casual conversation."
Chen Yun knew that Yan Feng was recalling, so he did not interrupt with questions but instead waited patiently and listened intently.
Yan Feng continued to say, "At that time, the senior mentioned that the Starry Yuan Fruit grows in a place without day and night in the cave of immortality. It may be in the West or East Pole, but I'm not sure."
Chen Yun was puzzled and said, "West Pole or East Pole? Isn't it the South Pole or North Pole?"
Yan Feng understood what Chen Yun meant and explained, "In the normal world, the sun rises from the east and sets in the west. However, in this cave of immortality, the sunrise and sunset are somewhat different from those in the normal world. It usually rises from the South Pole and falls towards the North Pole. Therefore, the East Pole and West Pole are located at both poles. Throughout a year, it may be either the East Pole or West Pole that experiences a long period of night for half of a year. That's why I can't remember after a thousand three hundred years whether it was on the East Pole or West Pole that I once heard about where the Starry Yuan Fruit grows."
Oh, it's somewhat similar to the North and South Poles on Earth.
According to Chen Yun's understanding of the North and South Poles on Earth in his previous life, both the North Pole and the South Pole have polar days and nights. There are approximately six months of polar days and six months of polar nights in a year.
Since the East Pole and West Pole in the cave of immortality are similar to the North and South Poles on Earth from his previous life, it should be that for a year, they experience about six months of continuous polar days and six months of polar nights.
It can be seen that Yan Feng's statement about the location of the Starry Yuan Fruit is relatively accurate.
The distance between the West Pole and East Pole is infinitely remote.
In theory, when most people hear such information, they would feel helpless.
Chen Yun didn't.
He had already become a Daoist and attained immortality.
Even though his power was suppressed by the laws of the cave of immortality.
It would take just a few days to travel between the East Pole and the West Pole in the cave of immortality.
At this moment, Yan Feng clearly told Chen Yun that the Starry Yuan Fruit is either in the East Pole or the West Pole. This was equivalent to giving Chen Yun the direction to look for it.
Chen Yun expressed his gratitude sincerely, "Thank you, Daoist Yan, for giving me the direction. Chen Pu is extremely grateful."
Yan Feng waved his hand and said, "There's no need for thanks, we're like-minded and have become friends. I just gave you some information. It's not a big deal. Oh, by the way, both the East Pole and West Pole are filled with rather fierce spiritual beasts that may be comparable to early stage earth immortals. If Daoist Chen goes there, please be careful with your safety."
Chen Yun said, "Thank you for your reminder, Daoist Yan. I will certainly be cautious."
The two continued to chat leisurely for another half hour.
Finally, the Azure Skylon White Butterfly shone with a series of jade-like colors.
Yan Feng glanced sideways, revealing a seemingly smiling but actually expressionless look, "The Azure Skylon White Butterfly has finally matured. Daoist, please take one."
Chen Yun thanked him again and used his magic to capture one of the plants and store it in the Tao Heaven Art space.
Chen Yun prepared to say goodbye to Yan Feng, "Daoist Yan, I'm heading to the closer West Pole to explore if there's the Starry Yuan Fruit. Let's meet again when fate brings us together."
Yan Feng clasped his hands together and said, "The green mountains will not change, and the flowing waters will be eternal."
At that moment, Chen Yun turned to leave, but suddenly thought of something, "May I ask a question, why do you have no expressions on your face?"
Yan Feng said with a tone of helplessness, "The divine skill I cultivate makes my whole face and body so 'rigid' that it looks like I'm made of stone. Only when I reach the early stage of earth immortals can I restore my normal appearance."
Alright, now I see.
Chen Yun originally thought that something must have happened to Yan Feng.
He didn't say anything else and left after saying goodbye.
Chen Yun hurried towards the West Pole, feeling a hint of anticipation in his heart.
Since Yan Feng had informed himself that the Starry Yuan Fruit was either in the West Pole or the East Pole, he was certain that he could find it.
Among all the heavenly roots and rare materials, only the Azure Skylon White Butterfly and the Starry Yuan Fruit seem to have a higher chance of growing on Lalu Island or at Moon and Sun Gushing Spring.
Now that the Azure Skylon White Butterfly has been found.
As long as he can obtain the Starry Yuan Fruit, he can then find Niu Da Liuman to join him in collecting the remaining treasures at Miao Mao Mountain.
"Once I find the materials for refining weapons, and the heavenly roots that are lacking for the Elixir of Transformation, I will be able to refine an 'Invincible Gourd' that possesses incomparable power. Moreover, once I enter the early stage of earth immortals, my cultivation will soar."
Chen Yun was incredibly anxious about it, hoping that he could find the Starry Yuan Fruit as soon as possible, gather all the remaining necessities, kill Gouteng Dao Ren, relieve his obsession, and successfully cultivate his yuan spirit to enter the early stage of earth immortals.
