Shapeshifting Magic Item, Talisman Array

Yan Siyi, Zhang Chuan, and the others were all delighted to see Ling Pengyun agree to help them destroy the demon.

Yan Siyi needs the flesh and blood of those three enormous Foundation Establishment Realm Black Armor Turtle Demon to try cooking second-tier Spirit Cuisine. The higher the grade of the Demon Beast flesh and blood, the greater the probability of cooking second-tier Spirit Cuisine.

Zhang Chuan, a First-Tier Superior-Grade Artifact Refiner, planned to use the shells of the three Foundation Establishment Turtle Demons to try to refine a second-tier magic shield. If he could succeed, he could gradually advance to the second tier in weapon refining.

Xue Chao, a Talisman Crafter, could use the skins of the three Foundation Establishment Realm turtle demons to create special second-tier blank Talisman Paper.

Using this special Talisman Paper not only increases the success rate of drawing earth-type Defensive Spirit Talisman, but also enhances the power of the resulting earth-type Defensive Spirit Talisman.

Qin Shi, a Body Cultivator, and Ye Ying, two ordinary cultivators without any special skills, did not pay much attention to killing the three Foundation Establishment Turtle Demons, treating it merely as an opportunity to earn Spirit Stone.

However, since Yan Siyi and her companions wanted to hunt, they naturally joined in as well.

After all, in the same team, the minority obeys the majority.

Perhaps, before long, they will encounter something that moves them, and they will need the help of their companions.

"Thank you, Ling Daoyou." Yan Siyi was overjoyed to see Ling Pengyun's reply and thanked him.

She also understood that Ling Pengyun's help this time was partly due to his relationship with her Grandfather Yan Cang.

However, Yan Siyi did not want to rely solely on her Grandfather's relationship with Ling Pengyun for this assistance.

Therefore, Yan Siyi added another sentence.

"When I reach the second level in my Spirit Chef skills, I will personally prepare a second-level Spirit Cuisine feast for you, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun understood Yan Siyi 'Yan Siyi meaning and smiled in agreement, saying, "Fairy, you now owe me two second-tier Spirit Cuisine feasts, so don't forget."

Yan Siyi then remembered that she had said this a year ago.

Feeling that she might be making empty promises, she smiled awkwardly and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist, I will certainly not forget this matter."

"Alright, let's leave that aside for now and get back to the main topic. Fellow Daoists, Fellow Daoist Xue Chao is currently injured. I wonder when you all plan to set off for the Serpent Dragon Lake area to hunt down those three Foundation Establishment Realm turtle demons?"

Ling Pengyun looked at Xue Chao, the Talisman Crafter was injured and had a weak aura, and asked him a question.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Xue Chao.

"About half a month later, my injuries will be quite severe. Even with the help of second-tier Healing Pill, it will be difficult to recover quickly," Xue Chao said after thinking for a moment.

"Alright, then let's set the date for half a month from now."

"Let's meet again at this teahouse in half a month," Ling Pengyun said.

Everyone agreed on the proposal.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a few more minutes, and Ling Pengyun took his leave and left the teahouse private room, heading to the Lingxiao Treasure Collection Pavilion. He handed over all the magical Law Artifact he had been refining for nearly six months to the Fourth Elder Ling Yunfu, inside the Gathering Treasure Pavilion.

As for the improvement of the Azure Cloud Spirit Rice, Ling Pengyun did not mention it.

After all, the true yield per mu of Azure Cloud Spirit Rice is still unknown. The previous yield per mu of Azure Cloud Spirit Rice was only deduced by him based on the ancestor of Azure Cloud Spirit Rice, and it cannot be considered true.

Zhang Chuan and Ye Yu, who were still inside the teahouse, were also very curious about whether Ling Pengyun Ling Pengyun had any other identity, since Qin Shi and Xue Chao had been quite polite to him earlier.

The two then inquired with Yan Siyi, Qin Shi, and Xue Chao.

Only then did they learn that Ling Pengyun was the blood cousin of Yang Siling, the daughter-in-law of Spirit Talisman True Person.

This incident also startled Zhang Chuan and Ye Yu.

Aside from not having the same level of treatment, this status is not much inferior to theirs.

Furthermore, Ling Pengyun was able to get closer to Spirit Talisman True Person, a Golden Core Old Ancestor, so Zhang Chuan and the others did not dare to underestimate him.

On the other side, Ling Pengyun had a simple meal with Ling Yunfu and other elders at the Gathering Treasure Pavilion before leaving Tu Yuan Market Town and returning to the Rock Scale Snake Den to guard it.

Half a month later.

Ling Pengyun, who was stationed at the Rock Scale Snake Den, also went to Tu Yuan Market Town as promised.

In a private room at the original teahouse, he met up with Yan Siyi and the others.

As soon as Ling Pengyun entered the private room, Li Chuan and the others greeted Ling Pengyun warmly.

Ling Pengyun didn't think much of it.

After returning the greetings with clasped hands, he looked at Xue Chao, who had been seriously injured half a month ago, and asked him a question.

"Fellow Daoist Xue, I wonder if your injuries have fully recovered?"

"I haven't fully recovered yet, but I'm fine in battle. I can unleash about 80% of my full strength," Xue Chao replied.

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun frowned, and then asked the people in the teahouse.

"Fellow Daoist Xue's injuries have not yet fully recovered. Everyone, shall we still proceed according to the agreement?"

"Of course, hesitation can lead to unforeseen changes. We have already wasted more than half a month. If we delay any longer, those three Foundation Establishment tortoise demons, which are of great value to us, may be killed by other cultivators first."

Qin Shi, the most powerful and robust Body Cultivator among Yan Siyi and her group, spoke with firm conviction.

The others echoed this sentiment.

Ling Pengyun frowned. His original intention was to delay for a while until Xue Chao's injuries were fully recovered before taking action to kill the Demon Beast.

However, seeing that Qin Shi and his group were all very confident, he did not say anything.

Perhaps Qin Shi and his group possess some powerful weapon, after all, they are all descendants of high-ranking members of the Hundred Spirits Sect.

With everyone in agreement, they chatted for a while before leaving Tu Yuan Market Town and stealthily making their way to Serpent Dragon Lake.

After the group entered the territory of Serpent Dragon Lake, they spent another day and a half lurking deep into the territory of Serpent Dragon Lake, covering nearly 10,000 miles, before finally stopping on the top of a desolate mountain that was several tens of feet high.

Yan Siyi Qin Shi, the leader of the five descendants of the Hundred Spirits Sect, pointed to a lake several miles away that was a thousand feet in size and introduced it to Ling Pengyun, the foreign aid they had invited.

"Ling Daoyou, the lair of the three Foundation Establishment Turtle Demons that we need to kill this time is located in that lake."

"Today, we have used up a lot of spiritual energy traveling, so let's rest for a day and wait for our spiritual energy to recover before we continue to kill the three-headed turtle demon in the lake."

"What Ling Daoyou needs to do in tomorrow's battle is to temporarily hold off the other two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment turtle demons before the five of us kill that Late-Stage Foundation Establishment turtle demon."

"I wonder if you can do this, my friend."

Ling Pengyun nodded. "The Black Armored Turtle is a defensive type of Demon Beast, not good at attacking. With my strength, I should be able to hold off two Black Armor Turtle Demon at the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment for a while."

"However, Fellow Daoist Qin, if you five can kill that Late-Stage Foundation Establishment turtle demon as soon as possible, then do so to avoid any accidents."

"That's natural," Qin Shi said.

After speaking, Qin Shi took out a second-tier Aura Concealment Array from his Storage Bag and set it up around the desolate mountain to prevent the aura of the group from leaking out.

Ling Pengyun was slightly surprised when he saw this scene.

The second-tier Aura Concealment Array is expensive, costing at least three or four thousand Spirit Stone on the market.

Such a precious item is something that even the Ling Clan, a Foundation Establishment clan, does not possess.

But now, it has been taken out by Qin Shi, a cultivator in the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Of course, Ling Pengyun also understood that the second-tier Aura Concealment Array must have been created by Zhang Yan, the deputy Hall Master of the Hundred Spirits Sect's Hall of Affairs, who was Qin Shi's backer.

Otherwise, with Qin Shi's Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level alone, it would have been impossible for him to produce such a precious item on his own.

Afterwards, the group chatted for a while before setting up temporary cave abode on the desolate mountain to meditate and cultivate, recovering the spiritual energy they had consumed during their journey.

The next day, early morning.

One by one, the group emerged from their respective cave abode, gathered together, and left the desolate mountain, stealthily heading towards the lake several miles away.

Just as the group was about a mile away from the lake...

Suddenly, something unusual happened within the lake.

In the center of the lake, ripples suddenly rose, and three enormous creatures emerged from the water.

These three enormous creatures were precisely the targets of Ling Pengyun and his companions' journey: the three Foundation Establishment Realm Black Armored Turtle.

At this moment, the three Foundation Establishment Realm Black Armored Turtle each poked their heads out, their eyes looking at Ling Pengyun and the others who were rushing towards them, their eyes flashing with a hint of fear and hatred.

Half a month ago, dozens of their Qi Training Stage Black Armored Turtle offspring were all killed by the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who are now attacking.

If none of the three of them had been strong enough to barely repel the group of Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they would probably have met their demise half a month ago.

They will remember such a blood feud that wiped out their entire race forever.

Although nearly half of their bodies were still hidden in the lake, the water was so clear that the approximate size of the three-headed turtle demon could be seen at a glance.

The largest of these three Black Armored Turtle was three zhang long and two zhang tall.

The other two Black Armored Turtle, though smaller in size, were still two zhang long and over one zhang tall.

Seeing Ling Pengyun and his companions rushing towards them and getting closer to the lake where they were, the three Foundation Establishment Realm Ling Pengyun Black Armored Turtle roared in an attempt to intimidate them.

However, this had no effect, and Ling Pengyun and the others continued to approach the lake.

Upon seeing this, the three Black Armored Turtle that had just surfaced no longer held back and began to gather Spiritual Qi while simultaneously drawing upon the dense water vapor within the lake around them.

In an instant, the three Black Armored Turtle each condensed a huge water ball several meters in size and launched it at Ling Pengyun and the others who were charging towards them.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun and the others also took countermeasures during the attack.

Ling Pengyun waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, summoning the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords from it.

As he channeled his spiritual energy into the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, both swords flashed with spiritual light, and a five-zhang-long Sword-Ray burst forth from their tips.

He then made a series of Hand Seals, condensing two blue Law Seals that transformed into two lifelike, five-zhang-long snakes.

"Go." Ling Pengyun waved his hand.

The two flying swords transformed into two Shadowless Sword, which, along with the two water snakes soaring in the void, shattered the three giant water balls launched by the three-headed turtle demon.

As soon as the three water spheres shattered, the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords and the two water snakes rushed in, and under Ling Pengyun's Divine Sense control, they respectively bombarded the two weaker Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment turtle demons among the three turtle demons in the lake.

The two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment turtle demons were not afraid. They once again gathered their spiritual power and conjured up water spheres.

Then, relying on the water ball attack, they blocked the incoming Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords and the two five-zhang water snakes.

Ling Pengyun was not surprised that his attack was blocked.

Although those two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Black Armored Turtle were not good at attacking, their cultivation was quite profound, at least at the fifth or sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

Ling Pengyun was only at the Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment. Even though his strength was greater than others of the same level due to his Cultivation Method, Ling Pengyun was already satisfied that he could temporarily hold off two turtle demons who were stronger than him.

"Fellow Daoists, I have already dealt with the two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment turtle demons among the three-headed turtle demons. The remaining Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Black Armor Turtle Demon is now in your hands," Ling Pengyun called out.

Qin Shi and the others, who were standing to the side, were surprised to see that Ling Pengyun had been able to use two second-tier Law Technique, Water Snake Technique, so quickly in a short period of time, and that he was fighting back and forth with the two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment turtle demons whose cultivation was far superior to Ling Pengyun's. They also realized that Ling Pengyun's combat strength was extraordinary.

As a result, everyone held Ling Pengyun in even higher regard.

They no longer regarded Ling Pengyun merely as a genius of Spirit Plant and Yang Siling's cousin.

They responded to Ling Pengyun's call and took action.

Among Yan Siyi and her group, Qin Shi, the mid- Body Cultivator with the highest Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, took out a white jade bottle from his Storage Bag.

As Qin Shi channeled his spiritual energy into the white jade bottle, a large swath of cold mist immediately drifted out and quickly settled into the lake water beside the three-headed turtle demon.

In less than half a breath, the lake water within a hundred feet around the three-headed turtle demon froze into ice.

The three Foundation Establishment Realm Black Armored Turtle, which were originally in the lake, were also trapped by the ice.

However, these three turtle Demon Power, and the cold air emanating from the white jade bottle did not directly attack the three turtle demons, but merely turned the lake water into ice.

These ice crystals are not very solid and are not enough to trap them.

It took the three-headed turtle demon some time to break free from the ice and climb onto the ice.

Beneath the ice layer lies thick, cold ice, preventing them from descending.

However, being able to force the three water-savvy Foundation Establishment Realm turtle demons to come up into the ice layer also met Qin Shi's expectations.

He roared, and a yellow light flashed around him. His body rapidly swelled to nearly twice its size, and his muscles became even more prominent.

A thick layer of earthen armor also appeared on the surface of its body.

Once Qin Shi's unusual movements ceased, he patted his Storage Bag at his waist, took out an earthen-yellow iron rod, gripped it tightly in his hand, and propelled himself forward with both feet, traversing a mile through the void and directly stepping onto the lake.

Stepping on the ice, he swiftly charged towards the Black Armored Turtle, the strongest Late-Stage Foundation Establishment stage.

Immediately afterwards, he roared and swung the iron rod in his hand, smashing it directly at the head of the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Black Armored Turtle.

The Black Armored Turtle, at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, reacted quickly, its head twitching as it swiftly retracted into its shell.

At the same time, the tortoise shell flashed with blue light and became even more solid.

Qin Shi's iron rod thus missed its chance, only striking the shell of the Black Armored Turtle in the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

The turtle demon's shell was quite sturdy. Even though Qin Shi's long staff contained tens of thousands of pounds of force, it only managed to create a few small cracks on the Black Armored Turtle.
