Chapter 397 Fangshi

In the world of immortal cultivation, after exploring Chen Yun's cultivation level, the two male and female cultivators were amazed and bowed at the same time.

Before this, the two had heard the leaders of the two sects report that a Nascent Soul cultivator had arrived at the Tianfu Sect, and they were both skeptical.

After all, the two of them knew the situation of Tianfu Sect very well.

The three families belong to the same small sect and have always advanced and retreated together and supported each other.

The Tianfu Sect is the weakest of the three. Normally speaking, it is unlikely that a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage would condescend to come to such a small sect.

However, if one could really establish a relationship with a Nascent Soul cultivator, the benefits involved would be self-evident.

Because of their doubts, the two men could not sit in the sect for long and rushed to Baizhu Mountain overnight to confirm the matter personally.

At this moment, they witnessed Chen Yun's unfathomable cultivation with their own eyes, and the last bit of doubt in their hearts disappeared.

After Chen Yun sat down, he gave a slight signal, and the three Jindan cultivators and Yue Zhen dared to sit down together. The other foundation-building cultivators could only stand aside with their heads bowed.

"Senior, did you gain anything from the Sutra Library? Although we are not good at making talismans, we have collected some talisman-making books. If Senior Chen is interested, you may go and take a look."

The female cultivator named Xie had an ordinary appearance but a very pleasant voice.

"No need to bother. I have important business to attend to and will leave for Linjiang Prefecture immediately."

Chen Yun glanced at the woman and said with a faint smile.

"Linjiang Mansion? Senior, are you here for those evil dragons?"

Another man named Chang asked in surprise.

"How did you know?" Chen Yun frowned slightly and asked.

"Most of the cultivators who have recently gone to Linjiang Prefecture came for these evil dragons. It seems that the news from the senior is a little delayed."

Monk Chang said hesitantly.

"I got the information from a market six months ago, so I came here from afar."

"I heard that these evil dragons have reached the seventh level. They shouldn't be wiped out by other cultivators so quickly, right?"

Chen Yun's face was solemn and he spoke slowly.

"It's indeed not that fast. On the contrary, there was an ambush that took place not long ago. Although we successfully killed an evil dragon, many monks who participated in the hunt were devoured."

"Even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage was seriously injured." The old man surnamed Wen explained hurriedly.

"Even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage was injured. What on earth happened?" Chen Yun seemed quite surprised.

In the sea area near Nanhaimen, vicious dragons are rampant.

Among them, an eighth-level transformed blue dragon was particularly ferocious, catching the monks who had originally planned to ambush it off guard and causing heavy losses.

Although the elders of Nanhaimen joined forces to fight against them, they were unable to completely wipe out the group of dragons, causing these dragons to escape to the main roads of coastal islands and lurk, frequently harassing passing monks and ships.

Once surrounded by Nascent Soul cultivators, they would quickly dive into the deep sea and flee.

The situation is escalating and becoming increasingly difficult.

For this purpose, the Nanhai Sect specially invited many high-level monks to gather on Qiongying Island to prepare for the Dragon-Slaying Conference, vowing to eradicate this threat.

After all, level eight dragons are extremely rare and their strength should not be underestimated.

When Chen Yun heard this, he was moved.

He remembered that he had once killed an eighth-level poisonous dragon, and he knew very well that this kind of spiritual beast was extremely powerful, and was even more powerful than a tiger with wings even in the sea. No wonder so many high-level cultivators were helpless.

However, he did not come here for the Blue Dragon. After a little thought, he asked...

During a conversation, Chen Yun asked about the whereabouts of a red fire dragon and learned that the monster might have also gone to the seaside.

The man surnamed Chang seemed to know something about this, but he was unable to confirm whether it was the legendary red fire dragon.

Chen Yun expressed satisfaction with this answer, and then the monks in the hall felt a little relieved because Chen Yun's expression relaxed.

At this time, the old man surnamed Wen exchanged glances with the other two and tentatively asked Chen Yun about the origin of his cultivation. Chen Yun responded in a humorous way, stating that he was not from any sect in Dajin.

Faced with Chen Yun's all-seeing eyes, the old man surnamed Wen and others were shocked, but were pleasantly surprised after hearing the answer.

Finally, the old man surnamed Wen carefully asked Chen Yun about his opinion on their sect's spirit-summoning talisman technique, showing that he valued Chen Yun's opinion.

"If you have anything to say, Brother Wen, please speak directly. Don't beat around the bush. Do you still want Chen to join your sect?"

Chen Yun sighed and spoke in a slightly impatient tone.

"Senior, you have misunderstood me. I dare not have such extravagant hopes. I just want to ask, are you willing to serve as the guest elder of our three sects?"

Sensing the unhappiness in Chen Yun's tone, the old man surnamed Wen panicked and hurriedly spoke out all his thoughts.

"Guest elder?" Chen Yun was slightly stunned, then narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Chen Yun had naturally heard about the guest elder system. This was a unique arrangement for some small and medium-sized sects in Dajin, a special position set up specifically for high-level independent cultivators.

Although they sound no different from ordinary elders, in reality there is a world of difference between the two.

In these small sects, guest elder is just a nominal title.

They are not bound by the sect's rules, nor do they need to obey anyone's orders.

The only responsibility is to help small and medium-sized sects with confidence when they encounter difficulties.

There are a large number of small and medium-sized sects in Dajin, but Nascent Soul cultivators are relatively scarce, which may lead to some sects lacking Nascent Soul cultivators for a period of time.

In order to ensure the stability of the sect, many small and medium-sized sects will recruit Nascent Soul stage cultivators as guest elders.

Although these guest elders have no mandatory obligations, the treatment they enjoy is no different from that of official elders, or even better.

This guest official system is rather special in the Tiannan region, because generally high-level independent cultivators are unwilling to be bound by sects, but may be tempted by the benefits offered by certain sects.

After Chen Yun heard the Tianfu Sect cautiously put forward this condition, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he smiled faintly.

"Let me serve as a guest elder for your three families. Do you think I will agree?"

The old man surnamed Wen was already worried, and when he saw that Chen Yun did not show any anger, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained further:
"I understand that with the strength of a small sect like mine, I am not qualified to worship a master like you."

"We are just hoping that you can help resolve this crisis. From now on, we will just be listed in name only and will never trouble you again."

"You mean, I only need to take action once, and I don't need to ask about this matter again in the future."

Chen Yun's eyes flashed and he said lightly.

The old man surnamed Wen nodded quickly:
"That's right, that's what we all mean. Of course, our three sects will not let the senior's actions go in vain."

"Since you are quite interested in the art of making talismans, our Tianfu Sect is willing to give you the secret art of transforming spirit talismans." "Jinxia Mountain and Mingyang Valley also have a secret art that they are willing to let you comprehend. In addition, we have also prepared tens of thousands of spirit stones, and we hope you will accept them."

At this point, the old man surnamed Wen simply laid out all the conditions at once.

He knew very well that if he continued to play tricks at this moment, it would most likely anger the other party, so it would be better to speak frankly.

"Tens of thousands of spirit stones?"

The corners of Chen Yun's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"The number of these spirit stones is indeed slightly insufficient, but the three sects will continue to offer a certain number of spirit stones every year for worship purposes."

"In addition, we would like to give you the Spiritual Transformation Talisman that our founder personally refined. I believe that your magical powers are sufficient to refine this item."

The old man surnamed Wen gritted his teeth and revealed his final bottom line.

"The founder of the sect, are you referring to Zhenren Tianfu?" Chen Yun's expression finally changed a little.

"It is this treasure. To be honest, Senior, although this Spiritual Transformation Talisman once shone brilliantly in the hands of our sect's founder, unfortunately, our younger disciples have limited abilities and no one has ever been able to refine it."

“Therefore, this treasure has been passed down within the sect for many years, and we can only watch its spirituality gradually dissipate, but we are powerless to do anything.”

"If you can take it for your own use, it would be the best of both worlds."

Yue Zhen took the initiative to speak.

"Your family actually has such a treasure. I would like to see it first!" Chen Yun immediately became interested.

Junior-junior brother Yue, please show the talisman to this senior for his review.

When the old man surnamed Wen saw that Chen Yun was interested, he was secretly delighted and quickly gave instructions.

Although he had the highest level of cultivation in the Tianfu Sect, the talisman used by the Tianfu Master could only be mastered by the sect leaders of all generations. That was why he said so.

Yes, uncle!

Yue Zhen was very tactful and immediately slapped his storage bag.

With a flash of green light, a light yellow wooden box appeared in his hands. He handed the wooden box to Chen Yun with both hands.

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, and was not polite. With a wave of his hand, the wooden box was sucked into his hand, and he lowered his head to examine it carefully.

The surface of the wooden box was plain but extremely simple, with a golden talisman pasted on the lid.

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows again, and gently brushed the lid of the box with one hand. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and the talisman quietly fell down.

The other cultivators nearby were unaware of this, except for the old man surnamed Wen and the other three Jindan stage elders who all looked shocked.

The ability to use spiritual power to easily remove the forbidden talisman is not something that ordinary cultivators can achieve.

This requires the monk to not only have a profound level of cultivation, but also to have an extremely subtle level of control over magic power. Such high skills often only exist in legends.

Chen Yun accomplished this feat without making any noise, which made others feel in awe of him.

As the lid of the box slowly opened, a fresh wood aura blew in, accompanied by a soft green light that spread throughout the box.

Chen Yun was secretly surprised. According to the description of the old man surnamed Wen, the spiritual power of this talisman should have greatly decreased after so many years. However, the one he saw before him was still very powerful and obviously not an ordinary item.

What made Chen Yun even more ecstatic was that this soul-transforming talisman was actually of wood attribute, which complemented the technique he was practicing and would undoubtedly greatly increase his practice speed.

He looked closely and saw a palm-sized emerald green talisman lying quietly in the box, surrounded by gold and silver runes, looking both mysterious and solemn.

What attracted Chen Yun's attention the most was a small ball of lavender light in the center of the talisman that was slowly rotating and flickering, as if it contained some incredible power.

Chen Yun slowly raised his palm, which was instantly enveloped by a layer of light green light. His five fingers stretched out towards the talisman in the box like dragon claws, ready to take it out...

With a flash of inspiration, the talisman moved slightly, and instantly turned into a green light that jumped out of the box.

Chen Yun's face darkened and he acted quickly.

A hand of light and shadow appeared and instantly grabbed the talisman in its hand. Before the other cultivators could react, the light hand had dissipated and the talisman was firmly grasped by Chen Yun.

"This is the legendary soul-transforming talisman. It does have some mysteries."

"It is said that Tian Fu Zhenren was a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. The true energy in this Soul Transformation Talisman is extremely powerful and cannot be easily refined by ordinary cultivators."

“Even if it is successfully refined, its power will be greatly reduced, and it will need to be re-cultivated with one’s own true essence before it can be restored to its original state.”

"This is definitely not something that can be accomplished in a few decades. If we are not careful, it could take more than a hundred years."

Chen Yun stared at the talisman that was twisting like a live fish between his fingertips, with a smile on his face.

"So, Senior, do you think this talisman..."

After hearing Chen Yun's description, the old man surnamed Wen and the others looked at each other and asked in a heavy voice in their hearts.

In the world of immortal cultivation, resources are crucial to the advancement of every cultivator.

As a master who has advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Chen Yun's main practice is based on wood attributes. Therefore, compared with early-stage cultivators, he is naturally more adept at refining certain special treasures.

He knew very well that although this special talisman that had been tempered twice would take a long time, once it was successfully refined again, its power would be far greater than before, and would be of great benefit to the improvement of his own cultivation.

However, Chen Yun did not rush to express this intention, but calmly hinted at the usefulness of this thing.

The old man surnamed Wen was delighted when he heard this, thinking that Chen Yun had already agreed, and he quickly responded:

"Senior, does this mean that you have agreed to this?"

Upon hearing this, the other monks in the hall also showed anticipation on their faces.

Chen Yun smiled slightly, but did not give a direct answer. He just said lightly:
"Whether you agree or not, let's not talk about it for now. Just tell me what kind of trouble you want me to solve. If it's not too difficult, I can help you once."

After saying that, he shook his wrist lightly, and a ball of spiritual energy carrying the talisman flew into the wooden box. Then he waved his hand, and the lid of the box closed steadily again.

Seeing this, the old man surnamed Wen was overjoyed and said quickly:
"Don't worry, senior. This matter is just a piece of cake for you. It mainly concerns a market jointly managed by the three of us. In recent days..."

Then, he told Chen Yun everything about the market town and the Shayang Sect.

Chen Yun just listened quietly without interrupting. After the old man surnamed Wen finished speaking, he nodded slightly, as if he had made a decision.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yun turned into a green rainbow and left Baizhu Mountain, flying straight to the north.

A few days later, news came from the immortal cultivation world of Huayun Prefecture.

A cultivator named Chen, who claimed to be a guest elder of the Tianfu Sect, suddenly visited the mountain gate of the Shayang Sect of the Demonic Path.

With his cultivation in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he displayed amazing magical powers and easily defeated the only Nascent Soul elder of Shayang Sect during a sparring match before floating away.

On the second day, Lingfeng Sect hurriedly moved its market from the area near Kaijiang Town to a place thousands of miles away. (End of this chapter)
