Chapter 379 The Dustless Predicament, Dual Cultivation in the Valley
In any case, this good thing bought him a few days.
These next few days will be his greatest opportunity. He will definitely make good use of it and help Ning Bu'er fully digest the black and white Yin-Yang ginseng they just obtained.
This Xuan Shen (mysterious ginseng) contains the essence of Yin and Yang, making it a supreme treasure for dual cultivation. Combined with the Thunder Spirit Fruit and the essence of the Nine Yin Demon Flame, both he and Ning Bu'er will experience a leap in strength.
Next, Chen Yi searched carefully in the ancient battlefield.
He needed a quiet place where he wouldn't be easily discovered.
Finally, he found a relatively quiet corner deep in the valley.
This place is secluded and lacks spiritual energy and natural wonders, but it is fortunate that no one visits it.
He quickly set up a concealment array and scattered several talismans to hide his aura around the array.
Wearing the jade pendant given to him by Hu Mingyue, Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er went inside.
Deep in the valley, inside an underground cave, within a protective array, Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er sat facing each other.
"This black and white Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng contains the power of Yin and Yang origin. Perhaps when we reach the peak of our dual cultivation, I can first refine the fifth-order Thunder Spirit Fruit, and then my evolved Thunder Spirit Marrow Essence can help you refine the fifth-order Nine Yin Demon Flame Essence. The effect should be optimal."
Chen Yi analyzed in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as he began to deduce the details of the dual cultivation technique in his mind.
He must maximize his and Ning Bu'er's strength within a few days.
Ning Bu'er listened attentively, knowing what these five days meant to them. She nodded, her eyes resolute, ready to proceed according to Chen Yi's plan at any moment.
On the other side, in the Yin-Yang Realm, Ji Wuchen was sitting cross-legged, his body enveloped in a layer of Yin and Yang energies.
His expression was solemn as he diligently refined the Yin-Yang primordial power within. Each wisp of primordial power that merged into him caused him excruciating pain in his body and a tearing sensation in his consciousness, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to give up.
At this moment, his spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring, was shining brightly, with runes flowing around its body.
It devoured the primal power of the surrounding area with all its might, and transformed the Yin and Yang power in the entire Yin-Yang realm into a Yin-Yang sphere, protecting Ji Wuchen's body.
This spherical light shield, in black and white, with a yin-yang interplay, now possesses defensive capabilities that are almost at the fifth-tier level.
Ordinary physical and magical attacks would be repelled by his Yin-Yang magnetic power combined with the expansion of the Yin-Yang environmental domain, making it impossible for him to get close.
However, Ji Wuchen's cultivation and spiritual sense were insufficient.
-
Refining the essence of this entire Yin-Yang Realm would take an extremely long time and would also be very taxing on him.
He felt that his spiritual consciousness was nearly exhausted and his magical power was almost overdrawn, but he was still struggling to hold on.
This meant that when the human-faced dragon arrived silently, Ji Wuchen was still focusing all his magic power and divine sense on refining the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring in his hand, leaving him no time to spare. He was completely unaware that death had already descended upon him.
Bang, bang!
Without hesitation, the human-faced dragon appeared and first attempted a magical attack, followed by a soul attack.
The two attacks were precise, but they were both deflected by the light shield emitted by the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring, failing to harm Ji Wuchen in the slightest.
The human-faced dragon was slightly surprised; its defensive capabilities exceeded its expectations.
It didn't waste any more time testing the waters and finally unleashed its strongest petrification eye technique. A beam of gray light shot out from its eyes, attempting to penetrate the Yin-Yang magnetic halo and strike Ji Wuchen directly.
At this moment, Ji Wuchen, who was refining his origin, suddenly felt a deadly threat.
This threat struck straight to the depths of the soul. Sensing its master's crisis, the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring automatically emitted a protective magnetic light, its body trembled, and it even used a wisp of the Yin-Yang Realm Origin it had just refined, unleashing a defensive power far exceeding its usual strength.
With a deafening roar, the Yin-Yang Elemental Magnetic Force and the Petrification Eye Technique collided violently.
The Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring dispelled eight or nine tenths of the petrifying pupil technique, but more than ten percent of the technique stubbornly penetrated the defense and struck Ji Wuchen.
Ji Wuchen felt his whole body stiffen, and a grayish-white aura quickly spread.
His magical power and spiritual sense began to sluggish, as if he were stuck in a quagmire. Even his thinking slowed down, and his reactions became extremely sluggish.
This petrifying eye technique not only affects the physical body, but also directly erodes the soul.
At this moment, the jade pendant in his soul made a sound, broke directly, and turned into powder.
A warm feeling emanated from it, instantly flowing into Ji Wuchen's soul, briefly restoring his consciousness and awareness.
Ji Wuchen knew something was wrong!
He knew he absolutely could not stay here, or he would surely die.
Without saying a word, he took out a bottle of fourth-tier Thunder Spirit Crystal from his storage ring and swallowed it.
The lightning energy instantly filled his limbs and bones, dispelling some of the petrifying power.
He forcefully activated the Yin-Yang Elemental Magnetic Ring, transforming it into a shield of Yin-Yang lightning. Carrying the primordial power of the Yin-Yang realm that he had not yet fully refined, he transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot.
With the powerful energy provided by the fourth-tier Thunder Spirit Crystal and the full activation of the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring Spirit Treasure, his escape technique almost reached the level of the fifth tier.
That speed was almost the same as the human-faced dragon before it was injured.
The human-faced dragon watched Ji Wuchen's fleeing figure but did not rush to chase after him.
It merely had a playful look in its eyes and a smile on its lips.
It knew very well that if it wanted to catch up with Ji Wuchen, who was desperately fleeing at the moment, it would have to pay a price, and might even get injured as a result.
"interesting."
The human-faced dragon spoke, its voice hoarse, "That bald man from the Vajra Temple in the Great Azure Realm wants to use me to deal with his subordinates. I'd like to see what your infighting looks like. This Ji Wuchen seems to have some secrets. No rush, the show has only just begun."
She licked her lips, turned around, and returned to the edge of the Yin-Yang boundary, as if waiting for something.
The streaking light tore through the sky, leaving behind a black and white afterimage.
Ji Wuchen's face was as pale as paper, and a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, but he forced it back down.
It felt as if my chest had been struck by a giant hammer; every breath brought a piercing pain to my very soul.
His spiritual energy was in complete disarray, and he was only holding on by sheer willpower.
What surrounded him was no longer a pure protective escape light, but an extremely unstable distorted force field.
The black and white energies swirled wildly, sometimes condensing and sometimes dissipating, emitting a teeth-grinding "pop" sound.
This is the price to pay.
The process of refining the Yin-Yang Elemental Magnetic Ring was forcibly interrupted, causing the spiritual treasure to backfire and the Yin-Yang origin to go out of control.
He was incredibly lucky to have escaped from that seemingly hopeless situation by using the power of this treasure to travel over a hundred miles in an instant.
But now, this sacred treasure, which he has bound to with his life, is on the verge of destruction.
Within the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring, only half of the primordial power of the newly opened Yin-Yang space had been refined. The remaining half, like a wild horse, was rampaging between his sea of consciousness and the spiritual treasure.
He felt like an ordinary person trying to stop a flood that was about to burst its banks with his bare hands.
He tried his best to control and manage it, but the force was too immense and too violent.
It's only a matter of time before it collapses.
A faint but urgent thought came from the spirit of the magical artifact, resounding deep within his soul.
"Master—I can't hold on any longer—"
"Five days——-Five days at most————"
"If no external force is used to refine the out-of-control source—I—will collapse—"
Ji Wuchen's heart sank little by little.
Five days.
In this ancient battlefield fraught with danger, where life and death could be a matter of life and death at any moment, where could he find a helper who could refine this enormous Yin-Yang essence within five days?
Moreover, this person must be someone he can completely trust.
Several figures flashed through his mind.
That incarnation of the Vajra Temple?
No.
To do business with him is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. Your secret treasures, and even your life and fortune, could be swallowed up completely.
In this ancient battlefield, there were few people he could trust.
You can count them on your fingers.
Those capable of solving this problem are extremely rare.
With these two conditions combined, only one name remained in his mind.
Chen Yi.
That person, whose cultivation level seemed ordinary, but whose true strength was unknown to everyone, always liked to hide behind female cultivators.
Ji Wuchen took a deep breath, suppressing his surging blood and qi, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"I hope Brother Chen can find a way, otherwise my magical treasure may be destroyed."
Now he can only gamble, betting that Chen Yi will continue to hide the vast majority of his strength, just as he previously believed.
But how simple is that?
Previously, when he was in the Golden Core stage, Chen Yi had been hiding his strength.
He's currently in the Nascent Soul stage. Every bit of his strength requires genuine rare and precious materials and serendipitous opportunities.
It's very difficult to hide.
Moreover, the problem he needs to solve is refining the Yin-Yang Origin Power of the fifth rank.
"Well, we have no choice but to try anything."
Ji Wuchen felt heavy-hearted.
The black and white elemental magnetic lightning shield accelerated once more, drawing an unstable arc across the desolate ancient battlefield.
He released his divine sense, painstakingly searching the vast天地 for any trace of Chen Yi's presence.
Just then, he caught a glimpse of a Buddha's light in the distance out of the corner of his eye.
The Buddha's light was peaceful, yet it also carried an indescribable eeriness.
A monk wearing a traditional kasaya was walking slowly on the ground below, seemingly searching for something.
He was a monk who endured hardship.
Ji Wuchen's escape light paused slightly.
Should we—
The thought only flashed through my mind.
He knew that Kudu's strength was unfathomable, and perhaps he really did have a way.
But this person gave him the feeling that he was more dangerous than those demons.
Just as he hesitated, the Bitter Du below raised his head.
Kudu's gaze seemed to pierce through the void, landing directly on him. There was no emotion in his eyes, only a calm that seemed to see through everything.
He swept his divine sense across the chaotic yin-yang force field around Ji Wuchen, pausing for a moment before a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
"Hehe, it seems young friend Ji has encountered some difficulties?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Ji Wuchen's ears.
"What happened to you? You were petrified by that demon king's petrifying pupil technique? And your spiritual treasure seems extremely unstable, with a fifth-order yin-yang essence raging inside?"
This humble monk may not be very capable, but it seems I can resolve your predicament regarding the spiritual treasure.
Ji Wuchen stopped his escape, forcefully suppressing the backlash from the spiritual treasure, and his figure was revealed.
He gazed at Kudu from afar, his face showing a hint of surprise at being seen through, but more so, vigilance.
"Master, what should I do?"
He still asked the question, clinging to a sliver of unrealistic hope.
What if the other party is really willing to do it for free?
Kudu's smile widened, making him appear even more compassionate.
"It's very simple. All you need to do, young friend of the Ji family, is bring the monk who obtained the Black and White Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng to me."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuchen's last shred of hope was shattered.
really!
He replied expressionlessly.
"Sorry, I don't know him."
Before he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate any longer. He turned around, pushed the little spiritual power in his body to the limit, and ran away as a streak of light.
He felt nauseous if he stayed even a moment longer.
He knew he shouldn't have any illusions; Kudu was no good, and it was even more impossible for him to betray Chen Yi.
Kudu stood still and did not chase after him.
He watched Ji Wuchen's hasty departure, his eyes narrowing, the compassionate smile fading, revealing a chilling sneer.
"Hmph! Your spiritual treasure has the potential to advance to the third tribulation. If I don't take action, it will only be destroyed."
"Heh, the Yin-Yang primordial power of the Five Realms. Within this ancient battlefield space, besides my personal intervention, who else could refine it?"
"What a pity, what a real pity."
He shook his head, seemingly lamenting the loss of a precious treasure.
"Besides, do you really think I have no way to find him?"
the other side.
Deep within an inconspicuous valley, in an underground cave, deep within an ancient battlefield.
It is surrounded by layers of formations.
Defensive arrays, isolation arrays, concealment arrays, spirit-gathering arrays—dozens of arrays and light screens intertwined, completely isolating this place from the outside world, ensuring that not a single trace of energy could leak out.
Deep within the cave, on a large fox fur bed, two beautiful women were embracing tightly.
-
Between the man and woman, floated a pair of black and white ginseng, their bodies shimmering with crystal.
It was that black and white Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng that had reached the fifth level.
Their breaths mingled, and where their skin touched, a shimmering light appeared, creating a perfect cycle.
The black and white Scrophularia ningpoensis seemed to come alive, with strands of Yin and Yang energy spontaneously emanating from its body.
One black and one white, like two agile fish swimming slowly.
One burrowed into Chen Yi's brow, while the other burrowed into the dantian of the woman beneath him.
Then, it emerged from their dantian and brow, changed positions, and burrowed in again.
And so on and on.
Chen Yi felt a sudden jolt in his sea of consciousness.
An unprecedentedly pure energy, carrying the supreme Daoist essence of Yin and Yang, washed over his soul.
His soul, which had already reached the late stage of the fourth rank, was now solidifying and ascending at a visible speed under the nourishment of this power.
The originally illusory little spirit figure now seemed to be taking shape, with a layer of black and white interwoven halo flowing across its body.
His perception of the Dao of Heaven and Earth also became incredibly clear.
