Who Dares Call Themselves Senior Under Spirit Transformation? A Hundred Years of Cultivation and an Old Tree Rebounds with Spring

As per Chen Dengming's request, the second fourth-tier Law Treasure the Six-Browed True Lord was to refine for him was Law Treasure in the form of a puppet.

Even the Six-Browed True Lord rarely crafted such Law Treasure, and he might not even be able to craft a fourth-order puppet.

But whether it succeeds or fails, Chen Dengming can accept it.

Even a top-tier third-order puppet, given enough spirit crystals, can unleash power comparable to Golden Core Late Stage cultivator.

This Law Treasure was also a protective treasure he prepared for He Yingyu.

He is now a renowned figure in the Cultivation World Battlefield, and has many enemies.

The enemy couldn't do anything to him, but targeting He Yingyu would be hitting his Achilles' heel.

This had happened before, and Chen Dengming was unwilling to give the enemy another opportunity due to negligence.

Although he would usually arrange for a clone to stay by He Yingyu's side.

However, the long-term existence of the clones would tie down the main body's Mental Strength. During intense battles, Chen Dengming would need to concentrate his Mental Strength on the enemy, making it impossible for him to maintain the long-term existence of clones other than the Incense Clone.

After much deliberation, it was decided that crafting a top-tier puppet to protect He Yingyu was the safest option.

"Hey, Sect Leader Chen, everyone says you're the arrogant and domineering Chen Baimao, but in my opinion, you're a kind, honest, and doting husband."

Even if this puppet is a fourth-tier puppet, it's all show and no substance.

In the empty courtyard, the Six-Browed True Lord pointed to a ten-foot-tall, bluish-black puppet standing on the open ground and shook his head, saying, "This fourth-order puppet can only unleash the maximum power of Golden Core Perfection cultivator, and it also consumes a lot of spirit crystals."

Flying about 100 kilometers consumes one High-grade Spirit Crystal, and in a full-force battle, it consumes ten High-grade Spirit Crystal every thirty breaths. This is a huge money drain, Sect Leader Chen!

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Dengming looked at the puppet with a satisfied smile, walked over and tapped it, making a 'bang bang' sound. He laughed and said, "I'm already very satisfied that you were able to refine a fourth-tier puppet. It proves that your weapon-refining skills are truly amazing, Brother Six Eyebrows. The consumption of spirit crystals is a small matter."

"They're really rich and powerful."

Six-Browed True Lord sighed, outwardly beaming with joy at Chen Dengming's praise, but inwardly he grumbled, yet he didn't find it strange.

He was, after all, the head of the Longevity Sect, and he had killed so many Nascent Soul.

Putting aside his achievements, the spoils alone were enough to make him incredibly wealthy, making him a top earner among Nascent Soul True Lord, with no shortage of spirit crystals.

Chen Dengming is indeed not short of spirit crystals.

He himself is now fully armed with fourth-tier Law Treasure, possessing all four abilities: offense, defense, escape, and control.

He still had three fourth-tier Law Treasure that he didn't need, two of which were confiscated from the Storage Bag of the Enchanting Female Devil and the Ruthless Old Devil of the Demon Hall of Passion.

Not to mention the High-grade Spirit Crystal in the Storage Bag of these two Nascent Soul, which roughly amount to seventy or eighty thousand pieces, and this may not even be all the wealth of these two Nascent Soul.

But at least what he got was more than enough to support his senior sister in raising a puppet.

Now, he is no longer the poor ghost of the Evergreen Sect who would look up at the sky after opening his Storage Bag, but the Longevity Sect Old Chen Laowu who has turned the tables and is now supporting a rich woman.

"Brother Six-Eyebrowed Daoist, thank you so much this time. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

"This is unacceptable, this is unacceptable. Sect Leader Chen, we already sent it last time."

"Sigh." Chen Dengming looked displeased. "Aren't you being too polite?"

"Brother Six Eyebrows, I am about to leave this Border Town stronghold and return to my sect. I don't know when we will meet again. Please accept this small parting gift."

After saying that, Chen Dengming stuffed the Storage Bag directly into the hands of the Six-Browed True Lord, "This is the last bit of the Water of the Underworld River and some broken fourth-tier Law Treasure materials."

"This... this..."

The Six-Browed True Lord's hand, which had been pushing him away, was now firmly planted.

Let's not even talk about the Water of the Underworld River.

Even broken materials for fourth-tier Law Treasure are valuable; they can be reforged into precious Spiritual Material after being melted down in a furnace.

This Sect Leader Chen was constantly challenging his weaknesses, teaching him how to refuse.

Chen Dengming flattered, "Among the people I know, apart from you, Brother Six Eyebrows, no one is worthy of using this Water of the Underworld River."

My wife, for example, spends all her time refining weapons, but hasn't achieved anything remarkable. It's because she lacks a master to guide her; her skill is still lacking. I must bring her to learn from you, my fellow Daoist, someday."

The Six-Browed True Lord immediately understood.

He's a man of many talents, having lived for over a thousand years; he's not stupid.

This Sect Leader Chen has been on good terms with us three times, and now he has outstanding military achievements, is highly sought after, and possesses exceptional combat power. He definitely has a great chance of advancing to the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord in the future.

Making friends with such a person is far better than befriending someone like Mi Changzai, who has a bad temper, can't speak properly, and is even less capable of giving gifts.

"If Sect Leader Chen is so hospitable, and Liu Mei refuses again, it would be tantamount to disregarding our friendship."

Thus, I have here a copy of my own handwritten notes on weapon crafting over many years, titled "The Record of the Six-Eyebrow True Treasure," which contains some of my humble opinions. I humbly request that Sect Leader Chen present it to your esteemed wife for her corrections."

"Brother Six Eyebrows, you're too kind. This is hardly a correction; it's a precious record that my wife intends to study diligently. I am truly grateful!"

Chen Dengming accepted the precious book with a smile on his face and immediately thanked him politely.

This is a case of getting what you want.

Sometimes, that's just how human relationships are.

In the Cultivation World, interactions between dao companion are indispensable.

This "dao companion" does not refer only to a wife or partner, but to all fellow practitioners with whom one can communicate.

Those who come to me for help will naturally receive something in return.

For those fellow practitioners who are not adept at handling matters, or those who pretend to be ignorant, it's natural to either understand or not understand; there's no point in saying more.

After leaving the residence of the Six-Browed True Lord, Chen Dengming personally went to bid farewell to Zuo Qiu Ling.

Whenever he encountered a cultivator on the road, they would immediately stop, bow and greet him, saying "Senior Chen" or "Greetings, Fighting Longevity Lord".

Chen Dengming suddenly began to feel that the title "Fighting Longevity Lord," which he had previously found unpleasant, was gradually becoming less unpleasant.

He still habitually smiled at the cultivators who greeted him, as a way of returning the greeting.

Unexpectedly, this action immediately made the group of monks who came to greet them nervous and excited, with some so excited that their faces turned red.

Even after Chen Dengming had walked away, one could still faintly hear some people whispering excitedly but restrainedly.

"Sect Leader Chen is so, so easygoing. I, I thought Fighting Longevity Lord would be very fierce, after all, he killed so many Nascent Soul from beyond the realm and even broke the neck of the Dragon Venerable of Dragon Spirit Island."

"I've heard that he only goes berserk when he's fighting. He's a master of a giant magic that allows him to change his size, transforming into a giant as big as a mountain, capable of splitting mountains and seas. But in ordinary times, he's as gentle as a spring breeze."

"After all, he is a cultivator from the Longevity Sect, so he is still quite gentle."

It is said that if the Fighting Longevity Lord were to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he might become the number one person below the Deity Spirit Transformation in the Four Seas Four Regions.

"Silence! This kind of 'first person' topic is not something we can discuss. Besides, such titles are usually bestowed by those warlike sects. I don't think Sect Leader Chen would care."

"The number one? Below the Spirit Transformation stage, who am I?"

Chen Dengming smiled, genuinely unconcerned.

Old Qiao, on the other hand, liked to compete for that title.

I heard that recently Old Qiao has overtaken Yongxin Sword Son, turned the tide, and is now in high spirits again, claiming to be the number one person below the Nascent Soul.

But now, these former fellow cultivators, perhaps due to differences in their cultivation levels or their different responsibilities within the Cultivator Alliance, no longer keep in frequent contact with him.

In the cold night, a few bright stars floated silently.

Amidst a few wisps of clouds, a full moon, like a jade plate, is set in the sky.

Under the moonlight, a spirit boat glided through the lingering clouds, like a flickering light, moving swiftly away from the Border Town stronghold.

Chen Dengming stood with his hands behind his back in front of the boat. He was tall and strong, with long arms and legs. His white hair at his temples fluttered in the wind. Under his broad forehead, his pair of tiger eyes were deep and unfathomable, and he already had a terrifying aura.

Having cultivated for over a hundred years, compared to his dejected state when he first stepped into the Cultivation World, he is now growing younger with age, like the rising sun, the warming spring, an old tree experiencing a second spring, with limitless potential.

Behind him, He Yingyu, with her youthful and vibrant voluptuous figure, gracefully approached and offered him a cup of fragrant tea.

"It's windy outside, what's the point of standing here? Let's come inside and talk for a while."

Chen Dengming took the tea, staring at the green tea in the cup, shook his head and blew on the tea leaves.

"Sometimes it's rare to have some peace and quiet. Even if the scenery around you isn't great, it still has its own charm."

He took a sip of tea, turned around and smiled, "How are the precious book and the puppet?"

He Yingyu felt a warmth in her heart. She hugged Chen Dengming tightly from behind, feeling the strong heartbeat emanating from his broad back. She smiled and said, "It's all very good. After all, it's the work of Nascent Soul True Lord. There are some notes in that treasure record that I can't understand. I still need to learn and apply them, and study them through exploration."

She was speaking from the bottom of her heart.

The foolish Junior Brother who once needed her help and care is now not only able to shelter her from the wind and rain, but also allows some of the once unapproachable Artifact Refining Grandmaster to share their insights with her for study.

Such resources are beyond the reach of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

This further demonstrates how good her judgment was back then.

Those female Daoists who used to laugh at her for marrying a poor boy and at Chen Dengming for marrying into wealth are probably now filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"My Husband."

He Yingyu nestled her pretty face against Chen Dengming's back, her hair dancing in the wind.

"Um?"

"This puppet is good, but it consumes too many resources. It would be better to forge a fourth-tier Law Treasure for you."

Chen Dengming laughed and said, "Resources are spent and then fought for back."

Resources that you hold onto but don't use are just garbage.

I already have enough fourth-tier Law Treasure. Let alone crafting a puppet for you, I could craft several more without any problem. It's just that Fellow Daoist Six Eyebrows doesn't have that much energy to craft them."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly patted his Storage Bag.

Three Law Treasure, shimmering with spiritual light and exuding intense spiritual power, flew out and revolved around him.

One of the Law Treasure was a sword sheath, but it contained no sword.

Chen Dengming had seen the Ruthless Old Devil use this Law Treasure before. Once activated, it could transform the user into a Sword Qi that shot out with unparalleled speed and unstoppable force, making it a treasure for escaping and launching surprise attacks.

However, for him who already possessed the White Bone War Chariot, the usefulness of this item was greatly diminished. It could be used to replace the teleportation function of the Seven Star Glazed Mother-Child Blade.

The other two Law Treasure included a green silk net that exuded a chilling aura and swayed slowly in the air like a small green snake.

This Law Treasure had previously trapped him in his Ancient Human Immortal Physique form for a time, making it a rather troublesome Law Treasure.

However, when Chen Dengming channeled his Nascent Soul Qi, he found that he could not use it, Nascent Soul Qi would be corroded by the cold aura of this treasure.

This is more like a demonic Law Treasure, requiring Devil Qi to activate.

The last item was a nearly transparent cloak that seemed to float in the air, which she obtained from the Enchanting Female Devil Nalan Huishan.

This cloak can effectively conceal a person's presence and aura.

Unfortunately, the cloak couldn't change size; it might be enough to cover a petite woman, but it couldn't cover a tall, burly man like Chen Dengming.

"This cloak should be half a fourth-tier Law Treasure, and it's part of the same Law Treasure clothing worn by that Enchanting Female Devil, but I destroyed that clothing."

"Here you go. When you advance to the Golden Core Perfection and form your Nascent Soul, you'll be able to utilize the Nascent Soul Power and use these fourth-tier Law Treasure."

Chen Dengming tossed the cloak to He Yingyu.

If used properly, this item can be a lifesaver.

He Yingyu happily accepted it, not because she was happy to have an extra fourth-tier Law Treasure, but because she was delighted by Chen Dengming's generosity in giving it to her.

"I'll put it on for you to see in a bit, and see if it really works so you can catch me."

Chen Dengming, "."

He even captured that Enchanting Female Devil, tore her clothes to shreds, and now he has even taken her Nascent Soul into the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, refining it into Nascent Soul Soul Arrow.

The girl's real intention wasn't what it seemed; she was trying to force him into submission by heating the wine herself, without using fire.

However, considering the current gap in the Strength Realm between him and the girl...

The other party clearly also yearns to become stronger and wants his help to advance his cultivation, which is understandable.

As Husband dao companion, it's only natural to help with such a small favor when we're at home, but when we're not, it's beyond our reach.

The spirit boat flew at a slow pace until dawn, finally arriving at Yin Ghost Mountain, which was sealed off by a great formation.

Even though the imprisonment plan had ended, Chen Dengming, as the chief, still held the array plate that controlled the grand formation.

He manipulated the grand formation to open the portal and enter.

He left He Yingyu to wait within the Formation area, while he led the Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun and two Ghost Bride who had been controlled and imprisoned within the Soul Guiding Banner to the outside of the Yin Cave. He shot an arrow down into the Below the Yin Spring, thus knocking on the door of the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord.

The tranquil Yin Spring soon began to tremble, and the suppressed, chilling spiritual power of the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord, accompanied by an unpleasant voice, emanated from it.

"Sect Leader Chen, if you wish to contact me next time, simply use your Divine Sense. Do not shoot arrows so carelessly again, lest you injure my beloved concubine."

"Hehehe. The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord is quite chivalrous, isn't he?"

Chen Dengming flew to the entrance of the Yin Cave with his hands behind his back. He neither agreed nor disagreed with the other party's proposal. He summoned Zhu Xun, Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun holding Soul Guiding Banner and large eyes, and calmly said.

"I have come here to send a ghost to the underworld. I beg you, Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord, to fulfill the promise you made to me."

"No problem, no problem."

Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord smiled faintly, then abruptly changed the subject.

"So you promised me about resource exchange?"

Chen Dengming remained expressionless. "I have already reported this matter to Elder Zuo will then report it to the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance. This is a matter of great importance. Does the Ghost Lord not even have the slightest patience to wait?"

"Um"

The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord spoke in a nasal tone, as if he were pondering the truthfulness of Chen Dengming's words, creating a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

Chen Dengming chuckled, "If I were personally willing to exchange resources with you, I'm afraid even you, Ghost Lord, wouldn't feel comfortable with that, would you?"

Since the Cultivator Alliance is involved, with so many high-ranking members, it will ultimately affect the interests of all parties.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will take time to reach an agreement on this matter, but as long as it is successful, Ghost Lord, you will be the biggest winner."

"Okay, okay!"

Suddenly, the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord let out a "Hahaha" laugh, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

He's thought it through clearly.

Once this channel for resource exchange is opened, it will be entirely beneficial to him.

The Counterattack Cultivator Alliance may require multiple parties to share the spoils, leading to further entanglements and protracted struggles.

But when he fell from grace, no one came to share his spoils. It seemed like a win-win situation, but in reality, he became the sole dominant figure.

"Let your ghost come in. I will take good care of him, and even assign him ghost soldiers and generals to help him find ghosts for you."

"Good!"

Chen Dengming nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Zhu Xun, smiling as he extended his fist and touched it with Zhu Xun's ghostly claw, transmitting his voice.

"Old Zhu, this journey is fraught with danger! I cannot help you even in the Human World. You must act according to the circumstances. This journey may be the opportunity for you to become the Ghost King."

The Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun intently at Chen Dengming with his large, round eyes, then solemnly nodded, pursed his lips, and uttered only one word that only brothers could understand—"Heh!"

(I've added more for those I promised! My monthly votes are running low again, so I'm still asking for more monthly votes.)
