Just as Chen Yun knows that this precious stone is a natural super-attracting array, he is very interested in it.
He circled the stone repeatedly, trying to find a way to dig it out.
No magical power can be wielded here.
It also means that spiritual awareness cannot be used.
After all, spiritual awareness is a type of magical power.
With just his bare eyes, it is difficult for Chen Yun to analyze how to dig out the celestial stone.
He decided to try his hands, to see if he could discover the secrets.
Cautiously, Chen Yun turned his head to look at the side, "Old Niu, can I touch this celestial stone?"
Niu Dali shook his head, "No, this celestial stone has absorbed and transformed the chaotic spiritual qi around it for countless years. The spiritual qi inside it must be so potent as to be unbelievable. If you touch it, there's a high chance something like an explosion of white mist might occur. Of course, that's just my guess; it may not be accurate."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun didn't dare to touch it.
Although there was another "revival armor", it was for emergency use. He didn't want to waste it here.
Faced with no choice, Chen Yun had to continue examining around the celestial stone, hoping to find a weakness.
Staring at it for half an hour, he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
Suddenly, Chen Yun thought of something and asked again: "Old Niu, where was the celestial stone originally located?"
Niu Dali looked carefully and pointed to the mud about ten centimeters away, saying, "If my memory serves me right, it should have been in that position."
Chen Yun went over to take a look, and there were signs that tools had been used to pry it up on the other side.
He was beginning to understand somewhat, and the guess made by Niu Dali should be true.
The signs of tools being used to pry it up suggest that even powerful beings like Long Zhan Tian dare not directly touch it and must use specific tools instead.
Chen Yun felt a sense of regret, realizing that he wouldn't be able to obtain the celestial stone today.
However, he wasn't entirely without any gain.
Since there are signs of having been pried up, it means that Long Zhan Tian has tools to dig out the celestial stone.
If he encountered the other party again and defeated them, perhaps he could obtain the tools needed to dig out the celestial stone.
As for whether Long Zhan Tian would return and take the celestial stone with him, he didn't worry about it at all.
Whether the other party took it or not, he would have a fierce battle with them in the future.
Whether to dig it out or not, it doesn't matter.
As long as he wins that fierce battle, it doesn't matter.
Whether acquiring the tools or directly seizing the celestial stone.
In the end, wouldn't they all end up in his hands?
The premise is that he will have to face off against Long Zhan Tian again in the future.
And, he definitely has to win.
Chen Yun felt that the probability of encountering Long Zhan Tian in the future was very high.
Because he is planning to go to the basin with Yan Feng to meet the descendants of the two divine birds, Zhu Que and Chong Ming.
And Long Zhan Tian's purpose for coming to the Moondrop Cavern this time is the Golden Scissor and the Golden Axe.
To say that they can't meet is basically nonsense.
"Okay, then let's compete next time and see who wins. If I lose, I can still use the 'Revival Armor', but if you lose, all your treasures will be mine."
Chen Yun pondered silently in his heart.
Just then, Niu Dali said, "We probably can't take the celestial stone away, but there are some good natural spiritual roots around here. Shall we go check them out?"
Chen Yun's purpose of coming here was to collect the rare materials needed for refining the "Zhan Xian Huluwa" and to distill the "Huashen Soup" required natural spiritual roots, but it did not hinder him from gathering other treasures.
He replied without hesitation, "Alright."
Niu Dali walked along the original path, "I remember that there's a heaven and earth nine-death, nine-soul grass a little further ahead. It's a true celestial herb, according to the description in the books, as long as people haven't died for more than forty-nine days and their souls are still in the underworld, even if their bodies have rotted away, they can be reborn using this celestial herb. And not only does it restore your body to its original condition, but also brings you back to your prime years. The most important thing is that it's suitable for anyone below the heavenly realm of immortals. Even if you've fallen from an immortal realm, you can use this celestial herb to restore your body as long as your soul isn't scattered. However, it won't work for those above the heavenly realm of immortals mainly because their divine bodies have such immense power that the spiritual qi of nine-death, nine-soul grass is not powerful enough to condense into such immense power to restore an immortal body. Anyway, this spirit root is extremely precious for us because it's equivalent to an extra life. I wonder if it has matured."
Nine-death, nine-soul grass?
Chen Yun's heart couldn't help but stir.
He had previously obtained this kind of spiritual root in the Moondrop Cavern, planning to use it for refining the Huan Shen Hai Xu Tang.
However, later on, he was ambushed by Shen Xiu and had no choice but to use this celestial spiritual root to bring himself back from the dead.
He had thought that using that nine-death, nine-soul grass would require a great deal of effort to obtain again in the future.
He never thought that such a deep place could grow nine-death, nine-soul grass.
This made Chen Yun secretly happy, hoping that the nine-death, nine-soul grass mentioned by Niu Dali had matured.
As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at a place where there were no trees, only a few plants that looked like small rice seedlings in their early stages of growth.
Aren't those nine-death, nine-soul grass?
Chen Yun's heart was instantly filled with excitement. He didn't even take a careful look to see if it had matured and rushed forward to pluck the nine-death, nine-soul grass.
Niu Dali noticed Chen Yun's actions and pulled him back, surprised said, "Chen Zhenren, this nine-death, nine-soul grass has not yet matured. What do you mean by picking it?"
Chen Yun suddenly woke up and realized that he had again been affected by his damaged Dao Xin due to the incomplete refinement of his inner realm.
He couldn't help but frown, shifting the topic, "Oh, I just wanted to take a closer look; I wasn't thinking of picking it."
Niu Dali laughed and said, "From your reaching gesture, I thought you were going to pick it right now."
Chen Yun said in a superficial manner: "No, let's see how long it takes to mature."
He watched the two or three plants of nine-death, nine-soul grass for a while and judged that they might be ready in about three days.
Huh.
Fortunately, it hasn't matured yet.
Otherwise, such a treasure would definitely have been taken by Long Zhan Tian.
Chen Yun had a lot of confidence in his judgment. As long as it was below the heavenly realm, no one could resist the temptation of nine-death, nine-soul grass.
Niu Dali also analyzed, "It's expected to mature in about three days. Let's go and check other places first, then gather everything, and come back here to wait."
Chen Yun asked, "Are there any other precious natural spiritual roots around here?"
"Valuable ones may not be many, but there are many relatively valuable spiritual roots." Niu Dali pointed around and said, "As long as Long Zhan Tian hasn't collected them all, we can drink some of the soup at least."
Chen Yun didn't mind. His main goal was to collect the celestial and earthly treasures needed to refine the "Zhan Xian Huluwa" and the natural spiritual roots required for the "Huashen Soup". If other things could be obtained unexpectedly, that would be great. If not, it didn't matter.
He followed Niu Dali and searched through the entire forest, and indeed, they gathered some valuable natural spiritual roots and celestial treasures.
For example, Qingling Fruit, Baiyuan Jingjing Vine, and Wanshan Flower.
Qingling Fruit and Wanshan Flower are helpful to cultivators at the Xian realm and Dian Xian realm.
The Baiyuan Jingjing Vine is a material for refining magical artifacts, which can generally be refined into magical artifacts used to bind enemies.
Because this vine has a function of limiting one's transformation, if it is truly refined into a magical artifact, its power should be quite strong.
Of course, the things they have gathered are far more than just these three.
However, these three items are relatively more valuable than the others.
Chen Yun stuck to his previous principle and split everything equally with Niu Dali, without wanting to take a larger share.
He swept around the right side and Chen Yun and Niu Dali walked towards the left passage.
……
The left passage was vastly different from the serene right passage; it was practically "hell."
Endless streams of spiritual energy flowed freely, cutting deep gullies into the walls.
Even when Chen Yun and Niu Dali walked out of the passage and into a desolate area, he could still see a storm of spiritual energy winds that were like tornadoes.
Niu Dali pointed at the spiritual energy storm with a serious expression, saying, "There is a high possibility of interdimensional passages within the spiritual energy storm. We should try to avoid it as much as possible."
Chen Yun nodded, "Okay, I understand."
The two of them stepped into the desolate area, and the ground below was covered with tiny gravel.
Chen Yun could feel as he stepped on it that the gravel was extremely hard. If used to refine defensive artifacts, it would be indestructible by cultivators below the level of immortals.
He didn't feel like collecting these small, low-value stones, so he just kept avoiding the scattered spiritual energy storms with Niu Dali and looked around to see if there was anything else he wanted.
The cold hell essence was plentiful, but Chen Yun already had four or five pieces, so he didn't take any more.
In addition to the cold hell essence, there were also other good things here.
For example, there are cold ice black gold, cold refining silver, and golden dust purple sand.
Chen Yun and Niu Dali gathered some of them, gradually walking into the depths.
Suddenly, the sound of a mystical night bat's screeching came from ahead!
Niu Dali's face changed, "This is bad. There are actually mystical night bats left by Long Zhan Tian here. I haven't cultivated out my soul, so I can't withstand the sound waves of mystical night bats. If you want to investigate the cave ahead, you have to go alone."
Chen Yun looked at the one-man-high cave, hummed a note, "Wait here for me a moment. I'll go in and check the situation."
Niu Dali replied, "Alright."
Chen Yun didn't say anything more and walked straight into the cave without hesitation.
It was very dark here, but what was even more surprising was that there were spiritual energy storms outside, and there were no spiritual energy turbulence inside this cave at all.
As he went deeper into the cave, the sound waves of the mystical night bats became increasingly fierce.
Chen Yun kept his composure and released the power of his soul to withstand the sound waves attack.
In the next moment, he saw hundreds or even thousands of strange bats hanging upside down on the wall in front of him.
Each bat was as big as a washbasin, with a terrifying fierce face, and their wings seemed to be adorned with "gold trim," with a chest showing bright red fur.
Chen Yun was overjoyed, "As long as I can capture these mystical night bats, my cultivation site will be more secure in the future!"
