Desolate Mountain, Lake, Beauty Emerging from the Bath
Mystic Machine True Immortal was a Golden Core expert from Dragon Head Mountain, and Dragon Head Mountain itself was a behemoth with relatively little interaction with the Red Cloud Sect.
The last time was also to mediate the matter of the Purple Forest Secret Realm.
This high-profile entry into the Red Cloud Sect, especially at this turbulent time, has led many to wonder whether the Red Cloud Sect intends to join forces with Dragon Head Mountain, or whether Dragon Head Mountain will intervene in the Red Cloud Sect's affairs.
Faced with so many threats, the sect's morale was actually quite low.
The arrival of such a behemoth at this time was good news for many.
However, at this moment, on Green Bamboo Peak, Wang Yue's expression was very solemn after learning about this.
Chen Wang rarely saw him with such a somber expression.
Chen Wang stepped forward and asked, "Brother Wang, what's wrong?"
Wang Yue said, "I have a bad feeling that Dragon Head Mountain came to the sect at this time."
Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.
He didn't know much about Dragon Head Mountain, only that this sect was much stronger than the Red Cloud Sect, but it had always maintained a neutral stance.
Chen Wang fell silent and did not offer any opinion on the matter.
No one knows what Mystic Machine True Immortal and the sect's Old Ancestor discussed.
The entire sect held him in the highest esteem. This Mystic Machine True Immortal was as tall as a pine tree, with an unusual and dignified appearance.
He stayed at the Red Cloud Sect for two days before leaving, and at that time, the Red Cloud Sect was even more peaceful.
There were also reports that the two had a very pleasant conversation.
This immediately caused some smaller factions to show signs of defection, and they began to secretly contact the Red Cloud Sect.
Several days after Mystic Machine True Immortal left, the sect remained calm and nothing unusual happened.
Wang Yue handed the hairpin to Chen Wang and said, "I added several seals to this hairpin to seal it. The ghost inside is no ordinary person. It must be the soul of a cultivator. I originally wanted you to be able to control it, which would be an extra help for you."
This is not an easy task; it needs to be sealed away first.
Wang Yue has yet to subdue this Jade Hairpin.
"Keep it safe. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, break the seal and release the woman."
Chen Wang asked, "If I release her, will she help me once?"
Wang Yue shook his head.
"Release her and kill indiscriminately."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wang's eyes widened immediately.
Wang Yue said quietly, "When you release her, it will be a matter of life and death. At that time, you might as well stir up trouble and fight with your back to the wall. If all else fails, you can take your opponent down with you."
Chen Wang nodded, thinking to himself, "This is really outrageous!"
However, it suited his taste perfectly.
Chen Wang asked uncertainly, "This thing won't just come out on its own, will it?"
Wang Yue laughed and said, "Don't worry, if you could escape so easily, wouldn't I be sending you to your doom?"
"As long as you don't release her, she will continue to sink into this hairpin. When you reach a higher level, you will naturally know how to control her."
Then Wang Yue handed a jade hoe to Chen Wang and instructed him, "There is something I need you to do."
Chen Wang asked, "What is it?"
Wang Yue said, "I need to refine a batch of Bone Tempering Pill, but I'm missing one ingredient called Purple Spirit Mushroom. This Purple Spirit Mushroom is about the thickness of a baby's arm and is located in Yellow Wind Mountain, a thousand miles away. I'd like you to go there for me."
"Purple Spirit Mushroom," Chen Wang murmured to himself.
Wang Yue said, "There are many spirit medicine and Demon Beast in Yellow Wind Mountain. You might as well go and try your luck there. When I was young, I found a White Tiger there and took it as my mount. It was a great help. Unfortunately, the White Tiger died in a battle later. You should try it. Maybe you can find a mount there too."
Chen Wang said, "Brother Wang, you have extremely high talent. I don't have that kind of luck or ability."
Wang Yue laughed and said, "You don't have it, but I do. You know Beast Taming Art, and with this Copper Ring, you can subdue Demon Beast below the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Chen Wang's eyes widened. "There are such good things!"
He could hardly believe it.
Wang Yue said, "I will teach you the Mnemonic. This is a closely guarded secret of the Beast Taming Sect. Otherwise, do you think they raise all their own Demon Beast? That would take an incredibly long time!"
Chen Wang was dumbfounded.
"Since it's a closely guarded secret of the Beast Taming Sect, where did you obtain it from?"
Wang Yue said, "Back then, I fell in love with a female cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect, and it was she who gave me this opportunity."
Chen Wang's eyes widened in surprise.
"This works?"
Wang Yue put on a stern face and said, "Why ask so many questions? Just memorize this Mnemonic."
This Mnemonic is quite ingenious.
Chen Wang took the bracelet and activated it using the Mnemonic.
Soon, the Beast Taming Ring reached the desired size.
When it's small, it's like a bracelet that can be worn on the wrist; when it's big, it's like a water tank.
Wang Yue said, "Don't go deep into Yellow Wind Mountain. We don't know what's in there. Just stay on the outer perimeter."
Chen Wang nodded. "Understood."
Wang Yue added, "This Beast Taming Ring is a one-time consumable. Remember, you must first beat that Demon Beast half to death before using the Beast Taming Ring to make it effective."
"Also, we need to use the Beast Taming Art to communicate with it more in the future, otherwise we won't go far by relying solely on our aura."
He told Chen Wang some key points, and Chen Wang nodded and memorized them one by one.
He had tried to subdue Demon Beast using Beast Taming Art, but Demon Beast were extremely difficult to tame, and even with his mastery of Beast Taming Art, he couldn't do it. Now, he never expected there to be such a convenient tool.
Chen Wang changed his appearance and left the sect.
It wasn't until it had traveled a great distance that it regained its original appearance.
He Sword Flight, heading towards Yellow Wind Mountain.
Yellow Wind Mountain is a treacherous place, covered with thorny thickets, making it almost impossible to move an inch.
There is also a lot of miasma there, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to gather herbs or hunt.
Chen Wang continued deeper inside.
Yellow Wind Mountain is extremely deep. After turning left and right, and following Old Wang's instructions, we quickly entered it.
Once inside, there weren't as many thorn bushes, but as soon as Chen Wang entered, he saw a Five-Colored Snake.
This Five-Colored Snake is extremely venomous; even ordinary cultivators at the Late-Stage Qi Refining must be wary of it.
Otherwise, if you are bitten, the poison will take effect immediately, and even a god could not save you.
Chen Wang was surprised to encounter such Demon Beast as soon as he entered the outer perimeter. His heart tightened and he immediately became more vigilant.
The Five-Colored Snake did not attack Chen Wang, Chen Wang left silently.
Yellow Wind Mountain is a vast area, and he explored it, hoping to find the Purple Spirit Mushroom that Old Wang wanted.
However, he searched inside for a long time but found no Purple Spirit Mushroom, or even a single spirit medicine.
However, he did not lose heart, but continued to search among them.
As dusk approached, Chen Wang had only seen one spirit medicine, called Firefly Grass. This herb was not an extremely rare spirit medicine, but Chen Wang's eyes lit up when he saw spirit medicine.
He carefully dug out the Firefly Grass and put it into his Storage Bag.
Chen Wang couldn't help but feel, "Gathering herbs is no easy task."
He came here to gather herbs for training, and also to take the opportunity to capture a mount.
Therefore, Chen Wang was not in a hurry.
As dusk fell, Chen Wang found a cave to stay in.
The cave was extremely dry and contained no Poisonous Insect or ferocious beasts, which satisfied Chen Wang after his inspection.
He lit a campfire deep inside the cave, and the branches and wood crackled and burned, the firelight reflecting on Chen Wang's face.
Chen Wang had a lot of Demon Beast Meat in his hands. He took out a piece and put it on the fire to roast. He sprinkled on some seasonings, and it turned golden brown and was full of juice.
After a hearty meal and a short rest, he began his cultivation.
This Niwanzhen Preservation Art required him to practice diligently every day, and he practiced it with great care, never slacking off for a single day.
Wang Yue obtained a batch of cultivation resources for him from the sect, which Chen Wang then used to refine.
The next morning, Chen Wang continued his exploration in the mountains.
Sometimes they would encounter some Demon Beast, but Chen Wang was not satisfied with them.
The Beast Taming Ring in his hand can only capture one Qi Refining stage Demon Beast.
For Chen Wang, he had to capture a special breed of animal that Late-Stage Qi Refining.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to have this Beast Taming Ring?
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to find a mount and maintained a relatively relaxed attitude.
As for the Purple Spirit Mushroom, Chen Wang searched for it in the mountains for seven days but still couldn't find it.
However, a few other spirit medicine were found.
In those seven days, he only saw one person, a middle-aged man, a Qi Refining stage cultivator who was exploring among them, trying to find some herbs.
The two saw it from a distance but did not say anything.
When gathering herbs in the wild for trials, no one knows who the other person is, so many cultivators rarely communicate with each other.
Upon seeing Chen Wang, the man carefully retreated until he was almost out of sight before turning and leaving.
That day, when Chen Wang to search, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He noticed a purple hue beneath the distant stone wall! Chen Wang glanced at it a few times and realized it was a purple Ganoderma lucidum. A slight smile appeared on his lips. "Purple Spirit Mushroom!"
This Purple Spirit Mushroom is an essential ingredient for refining the Bone Tempering Pill, and it's also the medicinal material that Old Wang wants.
Chen Wang immediately leaped forward.
His figure blurred into a streak in the air and instantly arrived in front of the Purple Spirit Mushroom.
Nothing unexpected happened during the process of harvesting the Purple Spirit Mushroom. Chen Wang easily collected it with a jade hoe.
Not only that, Chen Wang also found another Purple Spirit Mushroom behind a rock nearby, making a total of two.
Chen Wang was overjoyed and put the two Purple Spirit Mushroom plants away.
"The task assigned by Old Wang is complete!"
Chen Wang was surprised that the task was completed so quickly, and that he encountered no danger while collecting the spirit medicine.
A thought struck him, and he was about to leave when he heard the sound of rushing water ahead.
Chen Wang walked forward, passed through a thicket of thorns, and suddenly the view opened up before him.
Ahead lies a lake, quite different from the rugged mountain scenery, and it appears very beautiful.
Before Chen Wang could take a closer look at the lake, he saw a young man lying down not far from him.
The young man turned his head and obviously saw Chen Wang as well.
He gestured for Chen Wang to be quiet, then beckoned to Chen Wang.
Chen Wang immediately raised his eyebrows.
The sound of water came from the lake, and the young man quickly gestured to Chen Wang, telling Chen Wang to squat down.
Chen Wang didn't walk over to him, but instead squatted down first.
He kept an eye on the young man while also keeping an eye on the lake.
Ripples flowed in the lake, as if large fish were swimming beneath. A wave spread out, and soon a graceful figure broke through the water and stood up.
Chen Wang was stunned for a moment. He had only seen similar scenes in TV dramas, and he never expected to actually encounter one himself! Desolate Mountain, lakes, and a beauty emerging from her bath.
Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "How could I possibly run into this?"
The woman's back view was very graceful, and her long hair, which was hanging down to her waist, was wet with water.
Her waist-to-hip ratio is excellent; she's slim where she should be and large where she should be.
Moreover, even though it was just a back view, you could still vaguely see some outlines from between her arms, which was quite breathtaking.
"Where did such a woman come from in such a dangerous mountain?" Chen Wang was somewhat surprised.
The young man was watching with great interest.
He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He stared at him intently for a while, scratching his head and looking on with great delight.
He turned his head again, raised his eyebrows at Chen Wang, and looked very pleased with himself, as if to say, "Brother, am I a good friend?"
Chen Wang couldn't help but smile upon seeing this.
The first cultivator I met in the mountains was very wary of me. He would cautiously back away whenever he saw me from a distance, and never turned his back to me.
Unexpectedly, the second cultivator I encountered was squatting by the lake, peeping at others bathing, and he seemed quite engrossed in watching.
Moreover, he seemed to have no defenses against me, and had just beckoned me over.
"The Cultivation World is truly full of wonders!"
Chen Wang sighed with emotion.
The woman did not turn around, nor did she notice anything.
She emerged from the water, and even just her back view was enough to take your breath away.
However, she immediately dived back into the water and swam around, looking extremely excited.
When she entered the water, her body arched up like a fish, revealing a bulge, and then her two long, fair legs were exposed.
This scene was truly a feast for the eyes, captivating all who beheld it.
The young man watched with great interest, and Chen Wang's gaze remained fixed on the scene.
But he wasn't looking at the woman; instead, he noticed a place in the middle of the lake that resembled a small island.
It's called a small island, but it's only about ten meters in circumference.
On the small island, there is a medicinal herb, all green, growing like a weed. But if you look closely, each branch and leaf grows very neatly, and there is also a small flower bud.
The flower buds are also emerald green, and their shape is somewhat like a peach.
When Chen Wang was learning alchemy, he was like a madman. He memorized the properties, appearance, and how to find many medicinal materials.
At this moment, Chen Wang couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"This is Azure Blood Loyal Heart!"
This "Azure Blood Loyal Heart" is an extremely special medicinal herb that can enhance Law Power. It is a great tonic for cultivators, and more importantly, it can also increase the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
