Over the sea.
Chen Yun looked calm on the beautiful woman in front of him, but his mind was constantly weighing things.
Based on various clues just now, it can be analyzed that the woman called Bai Niumiao has a significant problem.
Chen Yun felt some regret in his heart. Although he was proficient in the art of change and could create a "physical image" that was identical to him using the Eight-Nine Mysteries, just like Sun Wukong for a brief moment, he was still not proficient in breaking down, and could not use his eyes to see through the real form of Bai Niumiao.
Yes, he could be very certain that the Bai Nujiao in front of him, who is behaving like a celestial maiden, is very likely not a human cultivator.
Even, he faintly guessed that the other party might have secretly attacked his spiritual beast before.
Why did Chen Yun have such an idea?
It's simple; he had indeed been attacked before.
This place, as the West Pole of the HOLE WORLD, is usually only visited by immortals. Those who have not achieved immortality are almost impossible to come here.
This is not just idle talk from Chen Yun; he has become an immortal, and even he took two days to arrive here. Those who have not achieved immortality may not be able to reach here even if they fly for a year and a half.
The immortals who entered the Yueyue Lake Cave Heaven with him, Chen Yun has memories of.
So, the one who could sneak attack him quietly must be the spiritual beast inside the cave heaven.
The spiritual beast is indeed mysterious, but its actual combat power may not be very strong. Otherwise, it wouldn't have resorted to such despicable means of a sneak attack.
Another point that can prove that the spiritual beast attacking him was not very strong is that although it attempted to sneak attack him, it was only able to make him feel numb, and then he was able to break through with the "Thirty-Six Golden Body" technique.
If that spiritual beast was really very powerful, how could it not hurt even during a sneak attack?
As for why it's easy to conclude that Bai Nujiao is the spiritual beast that made a sneak attack on me, this can be explained very simply.
Since the spiritual beast sneaked attack on itself, it means that it must have some malicious thoughts towards itself, such as wanting to obtain something from itself.
Chen Yun had been delayed after the previous attack and had not gone into the water. This suggests that the spiritual beast knows it is no match for Chen Yun on the sea surface, and wants to lure him into the water to carry out a more powerful form of sneak attack.
Therefore, the spiritual beast transforming into the appearance of a celestial maiden is to deceive Chen Yun into the water to deal with him.
This is Chen Yun's internal guess, and he believes that the probability of guessing correctly is very high.
He never accuses an innocent person, and naturally won't act on a mere guess from his mind.
Of course, he also didn't want to be in danger himself.
Therefore, after some thought, he had a countermeasure in mind.
Chen Yun feigned ignorance of the situation, surprised, "Only by touching its own body can one pick the Star Fruit of Heavenly Elements?"
Bai Nujiao smiled and nodded, "Exactly."
Chen Yun revealed a bitter smile and said, "The Star Fruit of Heavenly Elements has a slight toxic effect. As soon as I get close to it, I will feel numb all over. How can I get my hands on it?"
At this point, he sighed deeply and said, "Ah, I guess it's fate that I am not meant to have the Star Fruit of Heavenly Elements. Well, never mind. It's just that I will continue to explore other heavenly treasures and see if there are any with similar effects as the Star Fruit of Heavenly Elements."
If there's no problem with the other party, they would definitely allow me to leave this place.
On the contrary, if there are problems with the other party, they will definitely try their best to keep me here and persuade me to go into the water.
Chen Yun showed no trace of emotion, pretending to turn around and leave here.
As expected, Bai Nujiao hurriedly called out to him, "Elder, wait!"
Chen Yun turned to look at her and asked, "What else is there, divine maiden?"
Bai Nujiao smiled and said, "Elder, you don't have a way to pick the Star Fruit of Heavenly Elements, but I do."
Chen Yun feigned great delight, "Ah? Divine Maiden, do you have a method?"
Bai Nujiao nodded gently, "Exactly."
Chen Yun immediately showed a reluctant, slightly obsequious smile, rubbing his hands together and saying, "Divine Maiden…… you see…… this……"
Bai Nujiao bit her lip and smiled, "Elder, are you seeking the method to pick the Star Fruit of Heavenly Elements from me?"
Chen Yun nodded forcefully and looked at her longingly.
"Method is very simple," Bai Nujiao said with confidence, "Since I encountered a similar difficulty one hundred and thirty-five years ago, I immediately came up with a solution. That is to use the special silk of the mermaid race to make clothing, wearing it on your body can avoid the slight toxicity of the Star Fruit of Heavenly Elements."
Chen Yun couldn't help but smile in his heart.
This woman can talk nonsense without blushing.
I have been to Yueyue Lake Cave Heaven before.
Fifty years ago, when he came to Yueyue Spring with Wu Kuijiu, Qin Ming, and others, he had met the mermaid race and knew that the dragon silk of the mermaid race actually only had good defensive power and water-repelling properties, but no ability to resist toxicity.
Chen Yun has finally realized that this woman wants to deceive him into wearing some clothes and then take care of himself!
However, he still cannot be completely certain at this point, fearing that he may accidentally hurt the righteous man later.
After all, if this woman is not a spiritual beast with ulterior motives for him, and is willing to reveal the method for picking the fruit, isn't that a kind gesture?
Chen Yun would never do anything without fully confirming that the other party had bad intentions.
He decided to continue playing along with her, letting her show her true colors... er, reveal her true intentions.
Chen Yun frowned and said, "The dragon silk of the mermaid race? I don't have it!"
"Haha." Bai Nujiao chuckled softly, "Elder doesn't have it, but that doesn't mean I don't."
Chen Yun's eyes lit up and he rubbing his hands awkwardly again, "Divine Maiden, I wonder if you could lend me a dragon silk-made robe to wear. If you can, I'm willing to offer some treasures in exchange, what do you say?"
Bai Nujiao blinked her eyes and said, "I'm not a greedy person, and borrowing a dragon silk-made robe isn't much of a big deal. Alright, since I got along well with the Elder, I'll lend it to you."
Chen Yun showed great joy and said, "Thank you, thank you for your great kindness, Divine Maiden."
"Eh, wait a moment!" Bai Nujiao said seriously, "I am willing to lend you the dragon silk robe, but you have to agree to one thing for me."
Chen Yun asked, "What is it?"
Bai Nujiao looked slightly coy and said, "I practice a dual cultivation method, I see that the Daoist is handsome and dignified in appearance, so if the Daoist can use the dragon silk robe to pick up the Star Fruit of Heavenly Elements, can he accompany me to practice dual cultivation techniques for a while after that, allowing my cultivation level to improve?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun pretended to be silent, as if he were considering the balance of benefits.
Bai Nujiao watched him for a while, and then actively explained, "Elder, don't worry. My dual cultivation method will not harm you. On the contrary, our Yin and Yang harmony will bring great benefits, such as allowing you to accelerate the formation of your spiritual body."
Listening to her nonsense, Chen Yun was really at a loss for words.
As a cultivator of the Taoist Church, how could I not know the real conditions for cultivating a spiritual body?
Some dual cultivation methods can indeed bring benefits to both parties, but this kind of benefit is usually "physical" level, such as increasing the qi of the Golden Pill, or improving physical strength, which has absolutely no effect on the spiritual body.
It's not that there are no methods for dual cultivation of spiritual bodies, but rather that such methods are extremely rare and valuable in the world.
Even if Bai Nujiao is a true celestial being, how could you, a rogue cultivator, have access to such a precious method?
Chen Yun of course did not believe a single word of what she said, and even if there were punctuation marks in her speech, he wouldn't believe them.
Seeing that Chen Yun was still hesitating, Bai Nujiao deliberately twisted her proud figure, looking at him with an even more shy expression, her tone becoming slightly flirtatious and tempting, "Is it that... Elder thinks poorly of this sorry shell of mine?"
"Never!" Chen Yun denied it vehemently, his eyes revealing a hint of "depravity". He chuckled obscenely and said, "The divine maiden's appearance is extremely beautiful, and her figure is rare in the world. I like her so much that I can't get enough of her."
Bai Nujiao looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes and asked, "Will you agree to dual cultivation with me?"
Chen Yun acted with the demeanor of a lecher, "Of course, I'm willing."
Bai Nujiao said, "Okay, since the Elder is willing, then I will lend you the dragon silk robe."
Chen Yun said, "Thank you, Divine Maiden."
Bai Nujiao said no more, and with a gesture, a long robe resembling silk in a bright yellow color appeared in her palm.
Chen Yun had seen dragon silk clothes before, and this long robe in front of him didn't seem to be one.
This made him 90% certain that Bai Nujiao was the spiritual beast that had attacked him and was also trying to make him wear this robe, which was most likely to have problems. It might be intended to tightly bind him or even cause physical harm.
Chen Yun showed no unusual expressions and, while repeatedly thanking her, happily accepted the bright yellow silk robe.
He asked, "Divine maiden, do I need to wear this robe with magic power?"
"Of course not." Bai Nujiao introduced the usage method, "You just need to wear it directly on your body."
Chen Yun said, "Alright, Divine Maiden, you go into the water first, and I'll follow right after I'm dressed."
Bai Nujiao said, "Or let's go together with the Elder?"
Chen Yun smiled sardonically and said, "Are you afraid that the divine maiden will run away?"
Bai Nujiao hesitated for a moment, then revealed a casual expression, "Of course I'm not afraid that the Daoist will run away. Well, then I'll go into the water first, Daoist, come quickly."
After saying that, she plunged into the water.
The water seemed to have come to life and instantly moved away from the maiden's body, splitting to both sides.
As she shot towards the bottom of the sea, she turned her head and called out, "Elder, come down quickly."
Chen Yun said, "Okay, I'll put on some clothes."
He displayed an air of deliberate flaunting, radiating intense Dan light, and controlled the bright yellow robe towards himself to wear it.
On the surface, it indeed seemed that way.
In reality, Chen Yun had already created a "soul body" that could exist temporarily with the use of "Ba Jiu Xuan Gong". His true body was hidden in the high clouds, relying on the invisibility bell.
After everything was done, Chen Yun controlled the "external body" with his thoughts and plunged straight into the sea.
Bai Nujiao seemed to have sensed something, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in her gaze!
