Chen Yun secretly pondered how to obtain this super-powerful artifact.
He felt that his guess should be right, and he needed to sacrifice a celestial being to possibly awaken the spirit of the artifact, and then not bring himself danger.
Additionally, he guessed that the possibility of sacrificing a spirit beast to awaken the artifact's spirit was relatively low.
Because when Chen Yun came in, he saw the pitiful state of that spirit beast with wings like a tiger.
He believed that the spirit beast that could guard the purple pearls should not be weak.
But to his surprise, Long Zhan Tian killed it and did not sacrifice it to the purple pearl.
"Of course, my guess could also be wrong."
Chen Yun analyzed, "Maybe Long Zhan Tian killed this spirit beast first, and then discovered the purple pearls. At that time, it was too late, so she knew that I and Niu Dashu had arrived here, not caring about anything else wanted to capture us two, and then sacrificed it to awaken the spirit of the artifact."
Both possibilities exist.
He could try sacrificing the spirit beast first and see if it works.
It's not feasible. Think of another way.
Chen Yun also picked some nine-grade purple mushrooms for Niu Dashu.
Unfortunately, the spirit beast with wings like a tiger, which was taken away by Long Zhan Tian, seems to have been cleaned out. There are no spiritual essence inside, only sharp teeth and a large "tiger skin."
Come outside.
Chen Yun casually threw the nine-grade purple mushrooms towards Niu, "Brother Niu, catch this."
Niu Dashu casually caught it, "What kind of thing... wait, nine-grade purple mushrooms?"
Chen Yun smiled, "Indeed."
Niu Dashu was visibly moved as he said, "This is a rare treasure, an exquisite Qi-nourishing and spirit-boosting herb, with powerful healing properties. While immortals at the Earthly Realm level may not value it much, for immortals like us with Jindan Realm strength, the nine-grade purple mushroom is an extremely desired celestial root. Immortal Chen, you actually found this top-grade celestial root in the cave? Does that mean Long Zhan Tian hasn't been here to pick all the nine-grade purple mushrooms?"
"She has been here."
Chen Yun gave a general account of the situation inside, including the purple pearls.
He had actually considered not telling Niu Dashu about the purple pearl, but since he was traveling with the other, and the other person had shared everything down to the smallest details, about what good things were available on Cat Mo Mountain, there was no reason for him to act like a small-minded person.
Niu Dashu seemed to have never expected Chen Yun to be so straightforward, even telling him about the super-powerful artifact in the cave.
This respect made Niu Dashu deeply admired, "Immortal Chen is truly a man of the Taoist school, with such a broad chest and heart. My old ox is in awe."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "No matter how powerful the treasure is, it's not as good as our friendship. Brother Niu has treated me well, and if I were to find a good treasure and keep it to myself, wouldn't that be ungentlemanly?"
Niu Dashu laughed loudly and extended his thumb, "Gentleman!"
Chen Yun was amused by him and bantered with him for a couple of sentences over there.
Then, Niu Dashu curiously asked, "You guessed that sacrificing a strong spirit beast might awaken the artifact's spirit. How about this? You go back to wait by the Jiu Si Huan Hua grass first, and I'll catch a strong spirit beast to come back and see if the sacrifice works."
In a sense, the value of Jiu Si Huan Hua grass is still higher than that of so-called super artifacts.
After all, that thing is equivalent to giving people below the Jindan Realm one more life.
It's common knowledge that life is more important than artifacts.
Chen Yun knew that Niu Dashu was afraid that some strong immortals might come by and steal the Jiu Si Huan Hua grass while they weren't paying attention, so he wanted to let himself be the stronger one to guard it.
This can be reflected on the side that Niu Dashu trusts Chen Yun.
Because most people would think of guarding something of greater value themselves rather than letting others watch over it.
Chen Yun naturally would not betray Niu Dashu's trust.
He spoke with ample strength, "Alright, but Brother Niu, your injuries haven't healed yet, so it's not advisable for you to go out in search of spirit beasts. I'll treat you after this, and once you're fully recovered, you can go out and look for spirit beasts."
Niu Dashu said, "Thank you, Immortal Chen."
...
They chatted and returned to the Jiu Si Huan Hua grass.
Chen Yun and Niu Dashu casually sat down on the nearby stones.
"Brother Niu, during the time I treat you, try to restrain your own spiritual power as much as possible. Otherwise, the treatment may not be as effective."
Chen Yun reminded him.
Sitting on the stone across, Niu Dashu nodded slightly, "I know."
Chen Yun said, "Well, now I will treat your injuries."
After speaking, he channeled the power of "The Way of Life" to accumulate into Niu Dashu's injury-riddled body.
The next moment, Niu Dashu felt a mysterious force spreading through his body.
The wounds on his body that were still oozing blood were recovering at an incredible speed!
In just a short amount of time, Niu Dashu's injuries were healed.
He looked at Chen Yun with an expression of disbelief. "Immortal Chen, what kind of healing method is this? It's so miraculous! The injuries on my body, although superficial, were blocked by Long Zhan Tian's divine sword, which seemed to possess a rather eerie power. It continuously hindered the restoration of my spiritual Qi in the wound. In my calculations before, it would take about a day to completely heal those injuries. But you've managed to heal me in just a few moments? This is simply incredible!"
Chen Yun laughed loudly and said, "This is a technique I have come up with, called 'The Way of Life'. It's good for treating injuries..."
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and changed the topic. "Brother Niu, you said that there was an eerie force blocking the healing of your wounds, but in my 'The Way of Life''s powerful spiritual force's nourishment, those eerie forces were quickly expelled and cured the wounds?
Niu Dashu thought carefully for a moment and replied seriously, "No, it wasn't about driving out the eerie force. Under the influence of your 'The Way of Life' power, I felt that those eerie forces around the wounds were all dissolved. They were even assimilated into the power of 'The Way of Life', as if to help me heal faster."
Hmm?
Could it be that the nemesis of the "Kill Law Force" is actually his own "The Way of Life" power?
Chen Yun had sensed from Long Zhan Tian's divine sword that it contained a similar eerie force to the "Kill Law Force."
He thought that it was this force that had adhered to Niu Dashu's wounds, preventing them from healing.
Could it be that the "The Way of Life" power dissolved it, even assimilated it, and helped to enhance the healing process for Niu Dashu?
If it's really like that, then it means that I have found a way to break through Long Zhan Tian's divine sword.
Chen Yun believes that in combat, any weapon that Long Zhan Tian can use must possess incredible power. However, since he hasn't truly displayed it, it appears quite ordinary.
If his "The Way of Life" really can break the power similar to the "Kill Law Force."
Then, the power of "The Way of Life" may not only be used as a treatment method, but also as an attack method.
Chen Yun decided to clarify some things. "Brother Niu, did you feel those wounds giving off a corrosive power, or even a power that was decomposing your flesh and spiritual Qi when I hadn't healed them yet?"
When he asked this, his expression was unusually serious.
Niu Dashu saw Chen Yun's serious expression and did not answer immediately, but rather carefully remembered.
"Yes, just as Immortal Chen said," Niu Dashu agreed. "Indeed, earlier, that eerie force on my wounds was constantly decomposing my flesh and the spiritual Qi I wanted to use to treat my injuries. However, there wasn't much of that eerie force within me. Otherwise, it might have already scattered my soul into a thousand pieces! I would have probably died already!"
What?
Indeed, just as I guessed?
Chen Yun pondered over it with great interest.
It seems that the divine sword is one of Long Zhan Tian's trump cards.
He did not truly activate the power of the divine sword because he saw that it could completely suppress himself and Long Zhan Tian.
It was just that the eerie force hidden within the sword surface inadvertently leaked out and invaded Niu Dashu's wounds, causing this situation.
"It seems that the next time I encounter Long Zhan Tian, I might be able to use the power of 'The Way of Life' to give him a twist."
Chen Yun pondered in his heart, and his eyes kept flickering.
Niu Dashu seemed to have sensed it and was slightly surprised. "Immortal Chen, I don't know if I should say this or not."
Chen Yun came back to his senses, "It's fine to speak."
Niu Dashu seemed to be hesitant, organizing his words before slowly revealing what he wanted to say, "Although I am not a disciple of the Taoist school, my cultivation method is also derived from the Taoist school. Knowing the three Pure Ones of the Taoist school is a high way of cultivating one's character and cultivating virtue. The aura emanating from you all is incredibly inviting."
Chen Yun knew that the other person hadn't finished speaking, so he listened quietly.
Niu Dashu continued, "However, when I was listening to you pondering earlier, I seemed to detect a violent and cold aura. It felt like you... as if you were somehow descending into the ways of demons."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun slightly hesitated.
Even Niu Dashu could feel that I might be on the verge of losing control?
Chen Yun finally realized something: by using the spiritual essence of Bai Nuchao to forcibly condense the image of his spirit, he had indeed allowed his power to surpass his Dao heart, and to a rather serious extent.
