"Twenty-five spirit stones are already quite a lot."

"However, you offered this price without asking about my strength. Are you worried?"

"Perhaps I am only a low-level immortal master at the second or third level of Qi Refining Stage, and may not be able to fulfill this escort mission."

The man in white robe couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.

"Haha! Master Immortal is joking."

“Although I have no spiritual roots, I have participated in holy wars. Judging from the spiritual light emitted by the immortal master when he was practicing just now, he is definitely not an immortal master at the second or third level of the Qi Refining Stage.”

Yinglu responded awkwardly.

"Okay! Since your department invites you so sincerely, I will do it with reluctance."

"As for the spirit stones, I need to collect half first, and then hand over the rest after arriving at the destination."

The man in white robe thought for a moment and finally agreed.

"As it should be. I will present the spirit stone to you right away."

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly took out a small leather bag from his arms.

He picked out more than ten spirit stones and handed them to the man in white without hesitation.

The man in white robe took the spirit stone, and with a flash of spiritual light in his hand, the spirit stone disappeared without a trace, causing the young men of the Heron Tribe behind him to be amazed.

"You have never seen a storage bag?"

The man in white robe asked in surprise.

"I hope Master Immortal will forgive us. They are all from the younger generation of the tribe and have had little contact with Master Immortal."

Yinglu explained slightly embarrassedly.

"I see."

The man in white robe nodded as if he suddenly understood something, then turned his gaze towards the carriage, seeming to be worried.

However, the old man had seen countless people and saw through all of this at a glance. He immediately turned around and ordered:
"Quick! Choose the most comfortable carriage for the Immortal Master."

"Be sure to act quickly and without mistakes!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the young men who had been ecstatic upon learning that an immortal master had joined the team suddenly came to their senses.

They began to busily move the goods, leaving one of the carriages empty so that the man in white could rest.

The man in the white robe did not refuse. After the vehicle was ready, he thanked the old man solemnly:
"Thank you for your care, I will just meditate here."

"Call me if you need anything. I don't need any more food now, so don't bother me."

"I understand, Master Immortal." Ying Lu bowed his head and responded respectfully.

Seeing this, the man in white robe nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the carriage. However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said to the still stunned "Tu Meng" in a cold tone:

"Remember, you are not allowed to reveal to others that you have seen my appearance. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

After the man in white unexpectedly said some unclear words.

He calmly got into the carriage and lowered the curtain to block everyone's view.

Tu Meng's face turned pale as paper in an instant, even though the man in white had already gotten into the carriage.

He continued to shake his head, indicating that he really couldn't believe this fact.

"Well, now that we have a divine master in our team, we can all move forward with peace of mind. Everyone, get on your horses and set off immediately."

"Yingshan, you follow the Immortal Master's carriage. If the Immortal Master has any instructions, you must execute them as soon as possible. You must do your best to take good care of the Immortal Master!"

The old man loudly called out to everyone to get back on the journey, and at the same time turned to the girl beside him and gave him a meaningful exhortation.

Hearing this, the girl immediately understood the elder's intention, so she nodded excitedly, jumped on the horse and walked to the back of the team.

The rest of the young men were busy steering the convoy forward, glancing back from time to time and discussing in low voices.

Although their tribe had invited several immortal masters in the past, these immortal masters would usually leave immediately after the task was completed.

Therefore, they had never had such a close contact with the Immortal Master, and naturally felt extremely curious at this moment.

However, inside the carriage that was tightly covered with thick curtains, a man in a white robe was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, his body motionless.

"Boy Chen, it seems that the momentum you used just now when you were exercising your power has frightened that little brother from the Tuwu tribe quite a bit!"

"I'm afraid he will have nightmares for several days in the future! Haha..."

An old man's voice, tinged with sarcasm and gloating, echoed in the white-robed man's mind.

"Senior, can this Five Ghosts Locking God Technique that you taught me really work?"

"I don't want to become a demon who only knows how to kill indiscriminately before I find a way to get rid of the evil spirit."

The man in white robe avoided answering and whispered softly.

"You don't have to worry. Although this secret technique is indeed invented by me to restrain the Great Evolution from going astray, it is also effective against evil spirits."

"But I still have to remind you again, since you have used the evil spirit as bait to attract the five ghosts to possess you."

"Then it's not just the evil spirit in your body that's imprisoned, but also most of your cultivation."

"Your current strength can only reach the level of the middle stage of foundation building at most. You can no longer use that magic power at will. Remember this!"

The old man's voice sounded lazy.

"Senior, there is no need to say more about this. I know what to do."

"I just didn't expect the backlash of the evil spirit to be even faster than expected, and its intensity is far beyond your description."

The white-robed man's tone became low, with a hint of helplessness.

"Humph! If I hadn't miscalculated, how could you have clashed with other cultivators before the evil spirit was completely eliminated, and even been seriously injured and nearly died. The evil spirit would naturally counterattack in advance."

"As for the intensity of the evil spirit, you should also look at how strong the evil spirit is in you."

"The power of this backlash is naturally not something that ordinary people can resist. If I didn't ask you to help me refine the puppet, I wouldn't bother to care about your business!"

The old man snorted heavily and spoke slowly.

These two people are undoubtedly Chen Yun and Dayan Divine Lord.

Now, more than half a year has passed since Chen Yun left Luoyun Sect.

After leaving Tiannan, he stepped into the vast Tianlan grassland without hesitation.

Although he carefully concealed his own cultivation and identity, his actions went smoothly at first, and he even disguised himself as a traveling Taoist priest.

He quietly infiltrated into a large number of Tuwu tribes and shared his practical cultivation experience with many Tuwu cultivators.

However, when he crossed most of the vast prairie and arrived in the southern region, an unexpected disaster struck like a bolt from the blue.

In a deserted place far away from the Tuwu tribe, when he was using gold-eating bugs to cultivate the strongest, he unexpectedly ran into a Tuwu tribe elder in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul who was hunting an unknown demon bird.

Coincidentally, the elder of the Tuwu tribe was driving a mature gold-eating insect.

Since it was extremely easy to catalyze the growth of neon grass on the coral he carried with him, his long-term attempts had not caused any setbacks.

This time, Chen Yun was careless and took his chances, and did not set up a high-level concealment array in advance.

However, the encounter between the two monks and their insect swarms was destined to produce unpredictable results.

Facing Chen Yun, who had gold-eating bugs flying all over the sky above his head, this high-level immortal master of the Tuwu tribe was almost scared to death.

He immediately gave up chasing the demon bird and instead asked Chen Yun to follow him to a certain place to meet their saint.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Yun would naturally not compromise easily, but instead aroused a strong desire to kill.

So, he mercilessly displayed various magical powers, even using his second Nascent Soul to smash the opponent's body into pieces.

However, what made Chen Yun feel extremely frustrated was that the main technique practiced by this Tuwu tribe elder was extremely strange. He could actually split his Nascent Soul into seven, and each clone was proficient in the art of wood escape.

Due to a moment of negligence, one of the clones managed to escape from the scene.

Realizing that he might be in big trouble, Chen Yun immediately decided to set off overnight and flee southward.

However, he was not clear about how the Tuwu cultivators communicated with each other.

Just a few days later, he was surrounded and attacked by many high-level immortal masters in the Nascent Soul stage on the way.

Even one of the four great immortal masters of the Tuwu tribe showed up here.

After several fierce battles, although he successfully killed several high-level immortal masters, he was eventually severely injured by the great immortal master when he was distracted.

If he hadn't relied on the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid to continuously perform the Blood Shadow Escape, he would probably have died long ago.

Although he managed to escape with his life and temporarily get rid of the pursuers through some clever means, Chen Yun found that the real crisis had just arrived.

Perhaps it was because several fierce fights had severely damaged his vitality, the evil spirit that should have erupted after a long time actually backfired prematurely.

Fortunately, his consciousness was extremely strong and his reaction was quick, and he managed to suppress the evil spirit with the help of secret techniques.

However, this undoubtedly made the situation worse. With no other options, he had to seek a solution from the Great Yan Divine Lord.

As an old monster who had experienced thousands of years of life, Dayan God immediately taught him a secret technique called "Five Ghosts Locking Gods".

It is said that this spell can temporarily seal away evil spirits, but the side effects after use are extremely serious.

Until he finds a way to remove the evil spirit, there is a high possibility that his path of cultivation will be completely sealed within his body.

Otherwise, if he mobilizes his magic power without authorization, the evil spirit and the five ghosts will attack him at the same time, and he will be caught in a dilemma between life and death.

Chen Yun, who was well aware of the interests involved, was still hesitant and did not dare to try it easily despite having obtained this secret technique.

However, just when he arrived here to escape the pursuit behind him.

The evil spirit unexpectedly burst out again with an extremely ferocious force even greater than before, which his own cultivation level could not resist.

Faced with the crisis, Chen Yun had no choice but to immediately land in the bush.

He didn't even have time to set up a protective formation, so he couldn't wait to use the Five Ghosts Locking God Technique.

When the people from the Heron Tribe arrived here, Chen Yun had actually completed the final stage of the Five Ghosts Locking God Technique.

At the moment when the young man named Tu Meng pushed aside the bushes, Chen Yun's face was gradually changing into the form of one of the Five Ghosts, and was in the process of finishing his practice.

That hideous and terrifying face undoubtedly frightened the young man.

I guess until now, he still mistakenly believes that the ghost face is Chen Yun's real appearance.

Thinking of this, Chen Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"Although the evil spirit has been temporarily contained, the situation is still not optimistic as the degree to which his cultivation has been restricted is so severe."

"Now that we have successfully infiltrated this group heading to the Tianlan Holy Temple to pay tribute, we may be able to remain safe in the short term."

Chen Yun muttered to himself in a low voice.

“Haha! Although your cultivation has been sealed and your flying sword and ancient treasure cannot be controlled as you wish, you still have the gold-eating bug and your second Yuanying at your disposal.”

"These two are not subject to any restrictions and are sufficient to deal with ordinary immortal cultivators."

"If you hadn't left the newly refined Nascent Soul puppet to Senior Brother Lu and most of the Core Formation puppets to your concubine before leaving Luoyun Sect, your current situation might be a little easier."

"The mechanical puppet is undoubtedly the most suitable means of self-protection for your current situation."

Lord Dayan said with a sneer.

"After leaving Tiannan this time, I don't know when I can return to my homeland. Therefore, I must leave some backup measures for the sect and Wan'er."

"Even if Senior Brother Cheng is about to pass away, with the assistance of that Nascent Soul puppet, Senior Brother Lu should be able to handle some matters on his own."

"With the help of Mu Peiling's giant turtle puppets, the situation will be more stable."

"Otherwise, I really can't go to Dajin with peace of mind."

Chen Yun stated indifferently.

"If you think like that, then there's no reason to complain about the risks you're facing."

Lord Dayan said with disdain.

Chen Yun was silent for a moment, but after a moment, he frowned and asked again:
"Could it be that after the Five Ghosts Locking God Technique is cast, it is impossible to remove it in time?"

"The Second Yuanying and the Gold Devouring Bug are certainly enough to fight against enemies at the Jindan stage, but facing a Yuanying-level master, I'm afraid they would be vulnerable."

"Besides, the time required to find a way to remove the evil spirit is still unpredictable."

"Instant relief? For others, this obviously doesn't work."

"However, with the abundant natural resources you have, it may not be impossible."

"Of course, the price to be paid is also extraordinary." Lord Dayan seemed a little surprised and explained slowly.

"What is the price? As long as it does not have a negative impact on my future practice, I am willing to bear it."

"After all, it's much better than losing your life at a critical moment."

Chen Yun answered without hesitation.

"Since you have made this determination, then it will be simple and clear. Each time you lift the seal, you will need to consume two drops of the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Fluid in your hand."

"At the same time, I will teach you another set of secret techniques to guide the five ghosts away from the body and temporarily neutralize the evil spirits in the body."

"In this case, based on the actual situation, you will have about an hour to recover your mana."

"When the time comes, the five ghosts will devour the spiritual energy in the spiritual liquid and will seal your magic power again." (End of this chapter)
