Chapter 396 Jinxia Mountain

Although Chen Yun did not have much contact with Senior Brother Xiang at that time, he became alert when he saw that he was able to walk out of the forbidden area alive, and vaguely felt that this person was hiding a secret.

After successfully building his foundation, Chen Yun became Li Huayuan's disciple and never met the old man again.

As the years passed, the turmoil caused by the six evil sects' invasion of Yue Kingdom gradually faded away, and he almost forgot about this person.

Fate always works in unexpected ways. One day many years later, Chen Yun unexpectedly met the old man again in a small sect in Dajin.

This scene shocked him greatly, because judging from the time, even an ordinary cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage could not escape the erosion of time, let alone a Qi Refining Stage cultivator.

But the old man in front of him looked the same as he did more than two hundred years ago, which made Chen Yun feel a little cold.

Recalling the bloody trial in the Yellow Maple Valley that year, the old man had already demonstrated extraordinary strength at that time.

Now that he appears again, what is his purpose in blending in?
Is it for revenge, or is there a deeper plan?
These questions quickly circled in Chen Yun's mind, and he knew that he had to deal with this sudden change with caution.

In this vast world of cultivating immortals, strange things and people emerge in endlessly.

There really is a person who looks extremely similar to Chen Yun, which is amazing.

However, the old man insisted that he had not made a mistake and insisted that Chen Yun was not the person he was looking for, with no sign of softening his tone.

When Chen Yun heard this, his face darkened slightly and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said:
"Since you are so sure, I may have misunderstood. Well, I hope you can point out the classics about talisman making in our sect to me first."

After saying this, Chen Yun was silent for a moment, his expression softened, and he suddenly changed his tone.

When the old man heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he replied respectfully:
"Senior, please follow me. Our sect is called Tianfu Sect, and we have many books on the art of making talismans."

"It's just that those slightly more profound classics are all stored above the second floor. I will lead the way for you now."

After saying this, the old man still smiled, as if he was an ordinary low-level disciple, and respectfully led Chen Yun to the second floor.

When I stepped onto the second floor, I saw that the layout here was quite similar to that of the first floor, with layers of bookshelves neatly arranged in an orderly manner filling the small space.

When Chen Yun looked around, the old man had already flashed.

Although he is old, he is still very agile.

He searched quickly in the attic and soon found a small pile of jade slips. He carried them to Chen Yun, panting.

"These are the talisman books on this floor. There are some more on the third floor. I will go get them for you, senior."

The old man said with a flattering look on his face.

Chen Yun touched his chin and said in a pleasant manner:
"Don't bother. These jade slips are enough for me to read for a day or two. I can find the third-level classics by myself. You don't need to accompany me. You can go and do your own thing."

The old man responded with a smile:
"I will take my leave now. If you have any instructions, please call me at any time. I will be waiting downstairs."

After saying this, he put the jade slip in his hand back on the shelf and cautiously left the second floor of the attic.

Looking at the old man's back, the smile on Chen Yun's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

Lord Dayan and Chen Yun faced a mysterious figure together. Although they tried to use their spiritual sense to explore the other party's true cultivation level, they found that the Qi Refining stage cultivation level displayed on the surface was actually concealed by an illusion.

The man's true level of magical power is elusive, leaving both of them confused.

Lord Dayan pointed out that even though his spiritual awareness far exceeded that of ordinary people, he was unable to penetrate the opponent's defense.

This may mean that the other party has practiced some special secret technique or possesses a treasure that can change the body shape.

In addition, Dayan Shenjun also hinted at a possibility but did not state it explicitly.

Chen Yun expressed his curiosity and asked for details, but Lord Dayan did not answer immediately, leaving it in suspense.

Spiritualization Stage. For cultivators who have reached this stage, their spiritual energy can be dispersed from their meridians into their bodies, and even their Nascent Soul can become invisible in a short period of time, making it difficult to be detected.

When the mention of the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage came up, even though Chen Yun was usually calm, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

Although Lord Dayan has not advanced to the Spirit Transformation Stage, he has done in-depth research on it and knows very well that this ability is a basic trait possessed by a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

After Chen Yun calmed down, he raised a question: since a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage has the ability to ascend to the spiritual world, why are they still stuck in this world?

Lord Dayan was also confused by this. Although he had traveled all over the world and had never seen a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, he was sure that there were indeed cultivators in the God Transformation Stage in this world and that their number was not small.

It's just that these Divine Transformation cultivators can't appear as frequently as ordinary cultivators, otherwise they might bring disaster. As for the specific reason, Lord Dayan didn't know.

In the world of immortal cultivation, Chen Yun was deeply shocked after hearing about something.

He was surprised to find that his senior had never mentioned this matter, and Dayan Divine Lord believed that this information was of little use to him on the grounds that Chen Yun had not yet reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

Lord Dayan pointed out that only when Chen Yun’s cultivation advances to the Spiritual Transformation Stage can he understand the secret.

He also mentioned a phenomenon, that is, throughout the ages, all cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage have disappeared from the world of immortal cultivation as if it had become a convention.

Chen Yun agreed with this and speculated that the person downstairs was most likely also a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, although this possibility was not high.

Dayan Shenjun also agreed with this view, and warned Chen Yun that this person gave him a strong sense of danger, and advised Chen Yun not to act rashly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun recalled his previous intuition and realized that his senior also felt threatened by this person.

He analyzed that this person sometimes appeared in Tiannan and sometimes appeared in Dajin, and always acted as a low-level disciple. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives.

Therefore, they decided to remain silent for the time being and not explore the person's true identity and intentions.

"Now that things have come to this, there is no other way. But if there is a feasible method, it is better to leave Tianfu Sect as soon as possible."

"After all, if this person is really a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, and has the intention of killing to silence you, you might be in danger of losing your life."

Lord Dayan gave a reminder.

"I understand the pros and cons of this. However, if I leave in a hurry now, I might cause hostility from the other party, or even backfire."

"For the time being, let's stay in Tianfumen for a few more days as planned."

"Since he chose to hide here under a false name, even if he is really a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, he must be subject to some kind of restrictions as you said."

"Otherwise, why would you have to act so secretly? With your cultivation at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, you can go anywhere in the world openly."

Chen Yun shook his head slightly and spoke calmly.

"Your words do make sense. It's me who has been thinking things through."

Dayan Divine Lord laughed dryly and praised him. "However, the energy you lost from using Blood Shadow Escape has almost recovered. It's time to put the puppet refining on the agenda."

Lord Dayan suddenly changed the subject and spoke anxiously.

Chen Yun's eyes were determined and he had already made a plan in his mind. He planned to start refining the puppet immediately after killing the evil dragon.

After all, the scales of the Red Fire Dragon are extremely important and must be obtained first.

As for the Black Phoenix Feather, we can discuss it later and deal with it after the puppet is refined.

When Dayan heard this, he looked satisfied and said with a smile:

"That's great. I have no regrets as I can see this puppet before my death."

Chen Yun nodded slightly, then waved his sleeves lightly, and several formation flags flew out from his sleeves. After circling for a circle, they quickly dispersed to the surroundings.

In a flash of light, the formation flag disappeared, and was replaced by a light blue restriction that emerged out of thin air and enveloped the entire floor.

Although Chen Yun thought that the other party was unlikely to suddenly attack him, for the sake of caution, he decided to set up a protective ban first.

After everything was ready, Chen Yun took two steps forward with confidence, reached out and picked up a jade slip that Xiang Zhili had left on the wooden shelf, immersed his spiritual sense in it and began to examine it.

Chen Yun spent three days and three nights in the Tianfu Sect's Scripture Library, carefully reading all the books on talisman making and copying the unique secret techniques in them for future research.

In addition, he also learned two kinds of secret talismans from these classics: the Spirit Transformation Talisman and the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman.

The Spiritual Transformation Talisman is a talisman that can be taken into the body and cultivated in the Dantian, and it has powerful magical effects.

The Liu Ding Tian Jia Talisman can form six layers of protective shields by condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is an extremely rare spell.

Chen Yun meditated in the Tianfu Sect's Scripture Pavilion for three days and three nights, reading through all the books related to talisman making and extracting many unique talisman-making secrets from them for future study.

During this process, Chen Yun also learned about the other two secret symbols of Tianfu Sect, and was secretly amazed in his heart.

One of them is the Soul-Transforming Talisman. This talisman can be stored inside the body and cultivated in the Dantian day and night. It will have infinite uses in the future.

Its characteristics are similar to those of a magic weapon. After being cultivated to a high level, it not only has many changes, but also possesses a mysterious power similar to the magic way's "Disaster Transformation Technique". What's more rare is that when using this talisman, there is no need to use the limbs to endure the backlash of the technique.

Another secret talisman is the Liu Ding Tian Jia Talisman. This technique uses the power of talismans to condense the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to form layers of protective shields.

As long as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continues to flow, these six layers of protective shield will be able to recover endlessly.

This is one of the rare spells in the world that can drive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without the need for the cultivation of the Divine Transformation Stage. It is truly rare.

Among the three secret talismans of the Tianfu Sect, the Soul-Transforming Talisman is relatively special.

Once a cultivator advances to the Jindan stage, he will be able to use Dan fire to cultivate it, so it is one of the must-learn magical powers for the Jindan cultivators of the Tianfu Sect throughout the generations.

However, the power of the Spirit-Transforming Talisman not only depends on the level of cultivation of the cultivator and the length of time spent on refining the talisman, but is also closely related to the materials used in making the talisman and its own grade.

The Liu Ding Tian Jia Talisman is different. As long as it can be successfully refined, anyone can use it.

Moreover, the effectiveness of this talisman depends entirely on the state of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The denser the spiritual energy, the more amazing the power of the talisman will be.

According to the records of an elder of the Tianfu Sect of a certain generation, the jade slips of the Liu Ding Tian Jia Shu disappeared inexplicably long after the death of Tianfu Zhenren.

This incident greatly shocked the monks of the Tianfu Sect, which was very powerful at the time.

Since then, several generations of Tianfu Sect’s top leaders have regarded recovering this secret technique as the sect’s top priority. However, no clues have been found and the investigation has been fruitless.

As the Tianfu Sect gradually declined, it naturally had no ability to continue investigating the matter, so gradually no one mentioned it anymore.

As for the spirit-summoning talisman, due to material reasons, few people have been able to successfully refine it since its inception.

Therefore, although the Tianfu Sect has always claimed that it has three major spiritual talismans, in fact, the only one that really works is the "Hua Ling Talisman".

After reading the relevant books, Chen Yun became very interested in the remaining two types of talismans.

Both of these talismans have remarkable magical powers, among which the Spirit-Transforming Talisman is particularly eye-catching. It can imitate the effect of the Disaster-Transforming Talisman and become an important means of saving lives at critical moments.

After three days of study, Chen Yun finally completed reading all the jade slips.

He stood up, stretched, then scanned the downstairs with his spiritual sense and realized that Xiang Zhili was still on the first floor.

In the past few days, Xiang Zhili has been unusually quiet, doing almost no other activities except practicing, and he has not even left the attic.

This surprised Chen Yun a little.

What’s even more interesting is that from the first day he started studying the classics, several Tianfu Sect monks in the Foundation Establishment stage took turns waiting outside the attic, as if they were worried that he would leave suddenly.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yun decided to go downstairs. When he appeared, the old man immediately put away the jade slip in his hand and asked with a smile:

"Senior, have you finished reading all of them?"

"Yes, I have seen everything I should see. Please feel free to do as you please."

Chen Yun smiled slightly, with a hint of profoundness in his tone, and then walked out of the attic alone.

The old man watched Chen Yun leave, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

In the world of cultivating immortals, coincidences happen all the time.

At this moment, Chen Yun met the monk named Yang who had brought him here outside the attic. When the monk saw Chen Yun, he hurriedly bowed and greeted him, and respectfully invited Chen Yun to go to the hall again.

Chen Yun had previously had the opportunity to view the other party's collection of ancient books, so he naturally remembered this favor and nodded slightly, agreeing to the request.

The middle-aged monk showed a look of joy on his face, and immediately sent out a sound transmission talisman, and then led Chen Yun quickly towards the main hall.

Soon, Chen Yun arrived at the hall.

Waiting for him here, in addition to several high-ranking members of the Tianfu Sect whom he had met last time, there were also two unfamiliar cultivators in the Jindan stage.

The two were a man and a woman, both about 40 years old. After the old man surnamed Wen and others saluted Chen Yun, the elder of Tianfu Sect began to introduce them:
"These two are Fellow Daoist Chang from Jinxia Mountain and Fellow Daoist Xie from Mingyang Valley."

"You two Daoists heard that you, the senior, were visiting our sect, so you came to visit us. We have been waiting for you for a whole day."

Chen Yun looked calm, with no emotion to be seen, and said slowly:

"Oh! You two Taoist friends are so thoughtful. These past few days, Chen has been studying some secret techniques of making talismans. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

The two Taoist friends quickly responded: "No way! It is our honor to see the true face of the senior today." (End of this chapter)
