Chapter 267 The Overbearing Profound Yin, Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley
"What? You guys are fighting in front of my house, and I can't even come out and see what's going on?"
The Xuan Yin Fairy's voice was clear and cold as ice, her speech even and without any particular anger. "You have damaged my flowers and plants, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding world. Naturally, I want to see how you will judge and resolve this matter, so that I can find someone to compensate me afterwards!"
As one of only two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in Qingyun Cave Heaven, her strength might even surpass that of the cave heaven's ancestor. When such a person spoke, no one present dared to ignore her.
Even Lin Yunsheng subconsciously restrained his aura and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Upon hearing this, Black Serpent True Monarch broke out in a cold sweat. No matter what, it was an undeniable fact that he had personally released that fourth-order snake venom, which had damaged the spiritual energy of the surrounding hundreds of miles.
Now that Fairy Xuanyin has asked for compensation, he can only hope that Elder Lin Yunsheng will side with him and shift the blame for the fight onto Chen Yi and Yue Qingqiu.
Fortunately, news had arrived from Snake King Valley that the evidence would be arriving soon, which relieved him somewhat.
"What the fairy says makes sense. In that case, after I finish judging the case today, I will definitely give the True Lord a satisfactory explanation."
Lin Yunsheng cupped his hands in the direction of Fairy Xuanyin, his tone respectful, clearly not daring to offend this powerful being in the late Nascent Soul stage.
After a while, Black Serpent True Monarch suddenly sensed a familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
A streak of light appeared at high speed from the direction of Snake King Valley. It was a near-fourth-tier messenger eagle beast, carrying a palm-sized recording stone in its talons. It quickly flew to Black Serpent True Monarch.
Black Serpent True Monarch reached out and took the recording stone, quickly scanning it with his divine sense. However, after seeing the contents, his expression suddenly changed slightly. The scene recorded in the recording stone showed that the person who broke into the medicine garden was a bald cultivator using the Vajra Technique, not Chen Yi at all!
What exactly is going on?
Black Serpent True Lord sensed something was wrong and secretly gave Lin Yunsheng a look, hoping he could help downplay the situation and gloss over it for now.
"What? Black Serpent True Lord, do you have any evidence to prove that the two from the Star Moon Sect broke into your mountain gate, killed people, and stole treasures?"
Lin Yunsheng also noticed the Black Serpent True Monarch's strange behavior. He cursed the Black Serpent in his heart for being useless and unable to even hold onto evidence. However, he reacted quickly and immediately tried to smooth things over, saying, "If there is no evidence, then you were the one who attacked first today. You need to pay a fine of 100,000 spirit stones, and this matter will be settled here."
He wanted to let the matter drop as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
Just as Black Serpent True Monarch was about to follow Lin Yunsheng's words and retrieve the recording stone, claiming that further investigation was needed, a sudden change occurred. A black demonic flame suddenly shot up from his hand, carrying a bone-chilling coldness, instantly burning his palm.
"what!"
Black Serpent True Lord felt a sharp pain in his hands and instinctively tried to pull them back, but before he could move, the recording stone in his hands disappeared into thin air.
"What evidence are you hiding so furtively? Show it to everyone!"
Xuan Yin Zhenjun's voice came from the side. She completely ignored the little tricks of the black snake and Lin Yunsheng and directly snatched the recording stone.
Before she finished speaking, she condensed a wisp of spiritual energy at her fingertips and pointed it towards the air. A cloud mirror composed of clouds appeared out of thin air. Xuan Yin Zhenjun then cast a spell to project the contents of the recording stone onto the cloud mirror.
Black Serpent True Lord was caught off guard by Xuan Yin True Lord's move. His hands were still burning with the intense pain of demonic flames, and his face was deathly pale.
Seeing this, Elder Lin Yunsheng's eyes suddenly turned fierce. Xuan Yin Zhenjun's actions were clearly an attempt to seize his power as the adjudicator. However, the other party was at the late Nascent Soul stage and his strength was far above his own. Even if he was dissatisfied, he dared not say anything and could only silently acquiesce.
All eyes turned to the cloud mirror in the sky, where the image clearly showed the figure of a bald, muscular man:
He was dressed in coarse cloth shorts, his steps were rhythmic with the "lotus blossoms" movement, and golden crystal cores would occasionally condense in his hands. With the cultivation of a third-level body cultivator, he moved through Snake King Valley as if it were empty.
In the scene, he successively killed four Core Formation cultivators, and several third-tier demonic beasts were also killed. In the end, Elder Hong, an old man in the late Core Formation stage with almost no combat power, also died under his golden crystal core. The scene was tragic.
Xuan Yin Zhenjun looked at the image in the mirror, a slight smile playing on his lips.
When she took Ning Bu'er as her disciple, she had already thoroughly investigated Ning Bu'er's past, so she naturally knew that this bald, burly man was most likely Chen Yi disguised as "Xu Jiu".
She was secretly amazed: she hadn't expected that this kid could reach the near-fourth level of strength by relying solely on the second-level Vajra Technique without using lightning-based techniques. It seemed that he indeed had a unique talent in body refinement.
On the other side, the Black Serpent True Lord's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The Core Formation cultivators of Snake King Valley were like clay chickens and earthenware dogs in the hands of their opponent. They were all killed, along with their demons, and the spiritual herbs in the valley were also stolen. However, they only left behind these blurry images and records, without even leaving a trace of their opponent's flesh and blood. It was impossible to track them down.
What pained him most was the death of Master Hong. With the loss of this third-tier lower divination master, Snake King Valley would inevitably make huge mistakes in its judgment of the sect's future development direction. This loss was far more devastating than a few spiritual herbs.
"Black Snake, explain yourself."
Xuan Yin Zhenjun directly took over the investigation, completely disregarding the presence of Lin Yunsheng, the enforcement elder, and asked with an unquestionable air of authority, "Is this bald man using the Vajra Technique a member of the Star Moon Sect?"
Black Serpent True Monarch swallowed hard and forced a defense: "Uh—although the image isn't very clear, it's not impossible that this bald man is someone from the Star Moon Sect in disguise."
He knew the reason was far-fetched, but he could only stubbornly insist on it, otherwise there would be no way to justify the losses suffered by Snake King Valley.
"How dare you speak so presumptuously before me?!"
Xuan Yin Zhenjun was not one to like reasoning, and upon hearing such sophistry, his face immediately darkened.
With a flick of her wrist, a black demonic flame shot out like an arrow, striking the Black Serpent True Monarch with a precise "smack".
"ah--!"
Black Serpent True Lord let out a shrill scream, feeling as if the magical power within his body had encountered raging oil, and was beginning to be permanently burned by the demonic flames.
He was terrified and dared not be negligent in the slightest. He immediately activated all his abilities and mobilized his remaining magic power to frantically suppress the demonic flames.
After only half a breath, Black Serpent True Monarch managed to dispel the wisp of demonic flame, but his already meager magical power was permanently reduced by half a percent.
He looked at Xuan Yin Zhenjun with fear in his eyes. The other party had actually cultivated to the point that he could permanently burn the magic power of others. This strength was truly terrifying!
Could this be the legendary Nine Yin Demon Flame at its peak?
His heart was instantly filled with terror, and he dared not harbor any more illusions. He hurriedly cupped his hands in a salute, his voice trembling, "Black Serpent knows his mistake! Senior Xuan Yin, please show mercy. This bald man is indeed unrelated to the Star Moon Sect. It was my misjudgment before!"
Not to mention the black snake, even Lin Yunsheng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw the demonic flames.
He had heard of the old story of the battle between Xuan Yin Zhenjun and Qingyun Dongtian Laozu in the Six Gang Heavens. At that time, although the opponent's demonic flames were strong, they could not burn magic power permanently like this.
In just a few short years, she has raised her Demon Flame Divine Power to such a terrifying level.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunsheng felt even more humble and silently reminded himself:
In any case, we absolutely cannot offend this late-stage Nascent Soul "witch" who can change her mind faster than flipping through a book today.
"If that's the case, then you're saying that this battle at my doorstep was started by you without any reason, and that you were the one who released the fourth-tier snake venom, destroying hundreds of miles of my spiritual veins?"
Xuan Yin Zhenjun spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable sense of pressure.
"this....
'
Black Serpent True Monarch was still hesitating. Admitting to this matter would inevitably lead to substantial compensation. But as soon as he hesitated, he felt a terrifying surge of demonic flames coming from all around, as if it would completely engulf him in the next second.
He felt a chill run down his spine and quickly nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes! It was I who did it! What the fairy says is absolutely right!"
Seeing this scene from not far away, Lin Yunsheng couldn't bear it any longer and forced himself to offer a slight reminder: "True Lord Xuanyin, this kind of intimidation and near-torture to extract a confession is not in accordance with the proper interrogation procedures of Qingyun Cave Heaven!"
"What? You have a problem with that?"
Fairy Xuan Yin turned to look at Lin Yunsheng, her tone instantly turning icy cold. "Today, I'm only here to seek compensation from the person who damaged my dojo, not to abide by your bullshit rules."
If you, surnamed Lin, have any objections, you are welcome to argue with me.
If you don't dare to make a move, then keep it to yourself!
"How I conduct myself is none of your business, you mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!"
These words pierced Lin Yunsheng like ice picks, and he immediately fell silent, not daring to utter a single word.
He had finally cultivated to the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm and was hoping to find an opportunity to break through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm in his lifetime. He didn't want to anger this demon and have his hard-earned magic power burned away by the Nine Yin Demon Flame, which would be a huge loss.
[Forget it, let's not bother with this witch. It's Black Serpent who will compensate us anyway.]
Lin Yunsheng muttered to himself, and then fell silent.
Xuan Yin Zhenjun ignored Lin Yunsheng and turned to look at the black snake: "Black snake, since you have already admitted it, then calculate the loss based on the spiritual land within a radius of five hundred li."
"I won't ask for an exorbitant amount. You can exchange five hundred miles of land from the core spiritual vein of your Serpent King Valley for this. Consider this your compensation."
Upon hearing this, Black Serpent True Monarch was completely stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief: "What?! You're exchanging this desolate, spirit-less land for a fourth-tier core spirit vein in my Serpent King Valley?!"
Isn't this what you call a lion's mouth opening wide?!
Hearing Xuan Yin Zhenjun's "robber logic" demand for compensation, Lin Yunsheng's eyes widened and his heart was filled with shock. If business could be done like this, by force and robbery, the spiritual veins of his Qingyun Cave Heaven would have already advanced from the fourth to the fifth level!
But he only dared to think it in his heart, not daring to say a word more, for fear of getting himself into trouble.
Hearing this from not far away, Chen Yi almost couldn't keep his expression in check. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. This Aunt Xuan Yin was too ruthless. She was obviously taking advantage of the situation, yet she spoke so confidently. Black Serpent was probably going to lose everything today.
[Hmm, Ning Bu'er's cold and beautiful master, calling him "Auntie" shouldn't be a problem.]
Black Serpent True Monarch's face turned pale, and he hurriedly begged for mercy with a bitter expression: "Senior Xuan Yin, please forgive this junior this time! Black Serpent truly knows his mistake!"
The fourth-tier spiritual vein in Snake King Valley is the lifeblood of the sect. The sect has already lost four Core Formation cultivators; if it loses the spiritual vein as well, it truly won't survive!
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and proposed an alternative: "This junior promises to senior that the polluted spiritual veins within a radius of 500 miles here will be cleaned and repaired for senior. In addition, I will offer five thousand-year-old spiritual herbs as compensation. I hope senior will be lenient!"
"Five plants?" Xuan Yin Zhenjun raised an eyebrow, his tone full of disdain. "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? Hand over all the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs that your Snake King Valley stole from Medicine King Valley this time, not a single one less!"
She paused, her words becoming even more domineering, "Or do you think that you're allowed to seize the spiritual veins and dojos of Medicine King Valley, but I'm not allowed to seize yours?"
"As a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, my current spiritual vein is far from adequate. I'll borrow your spiritual herbs to replenish myself!"
Upon hearing this, Black Serpent True Monarch instantly understood—the other party wasn't trying to compensate for the loss of the spiritual vein at all; they clearly saw that he had stolen a lot of good things from Medicine King Valley and wanted to take the opportunity to intercept them!
Moreover, the other party didn't even bother to hide their reasons, bluntly telling him, "If you can steal from others, I can steal from you."
But now he was in the wrong and his strength was far inferior to that of Xuan Yin Zhenjun, so he could only swallow his pride and admit defeat.
Black Serpent True Lord nodded in agreement with a bitter face, his heart filled with resentment. Not only had he not gained any advantage this time, he also had to spit out the spiritual herbs he had previously stolen. He had truly suffered a huge loss.
He dared not linger and, after speaking, turned to activate his escape light and leave.
However, Yue Qingqiu, who had been standing aside "watching the show," suddenly received a telepathic message from Chen Yi.
She first looked at Chen Yi with surprise, and seeing that Chen Yi's eyes were firm, she braced herself and shouted, "Wait! True Lord Black Serpent, you've already compensated Senior Xuan Yin for his losses, and you're leaving already?"
You attacked my Star Moon Sect's mountain gate without cause, and then intercepted us two on the way. How should this compensation be calculated?
Black Serpent True Monarch turned his head sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief. He was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, while Yue Qingqiu was just a little girl who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage. It was good enough that she didn't get beaten up when she saw him, but she dared to ask him for compensation.
Anger surged into his heart instantly, and he was about to lash out when he heard Xuan Yin Zhenjun cough lightly.
"You're a good girl, brave and determined. You should ask for the compensation you deserve, don't be shy."
Xuan Yin Zhenjun looked at Yue Qingqiu, his tone carrying a hint of approval, "Don't worry, since this happened at my doorstep, I will take care of it for you!"
If he dares not pay, I'll take your share too!
Black Serpent True Lord froze on the spot, his mind racing with rage—"Fuck you! Xuan Yin, you even have to meddle in this matter?"
Of all those present, only Lin Yunsheng was quick-witted and gradually saw through the situation. This Xuan Yin Zhenjun was not impartially judging the case at all; he was clearly just like Lin Yunsheng before, openly showing favoritism!
When did the Star Moon Sect become involved with the Profound Yin Sect?
His mind raced through past events, and suddenly he remembered:
When Xuan Yin Zhenjun came out of the Demon Beast Mountain Range and was preparing to settle down in a place, he first investigated the Xingyue Sect, but in the end he gave up the Xingyue Sect and chose the former Yingling Mountain, which is now Qingfeng Ridge.
The location of this battle is even more intriguing—the two from the Star Moon Sect clearly lured the black snake to the vicinity of Qingfeng Ridge, where Xuan Yin was located!
"This is no coincidence! They must have known each other for a long time, and their relationship must be quite close!"
Lin Yunsheng deduced this conclusion in his mind and finally understood why Xuan Yin suddenly made a move. He also understood that Black Serpent's loss today was not unjust at all. Even if Black Serpent had just defeated Chen Yi and Yue Qingqiu, it would have been impossible for it to gain any advantage under Xuan Yin's watchful eye.
Having figured this out, Lin Yunsheng dared not hesitate any longer and immediately sent a secret message to the Black Serpent: "Today's matter is settled. Xuan Yin is clearly biased towards the Star Moon Sect. If you continue to resist, you will only suffer more losses!"
"Quickly admit defeat and pay compensation to let this matter rest for now. We can plan our revenge later!"
Upon receiving the telepathic message, Black Serpent True Monarch's expression darkened further, but he knew Lin Yunsheng's words were true. He gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Chen Yi and Yue Qingqiu, and finally relented: "Fine! I'll compensate the Star Moon Sect with ten more 800-year-old fourth-grade spiritual herbs, and this matter will end here!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Qingqiu was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She secretly sent a telepathic message to Chen Yi: "He really gave it to me? When did Black Snake become so generous?"
Chen Yi remained calm, as if he had already anticipated this outcome.
After the Black Serpent publicly swore not to pursue the matter further, he secretly gave Yue Qingqiu a look. The two of them simultaneously clasped their hands in a respectful bow to True Lord Xuan Yin, saying, "Thank you, Senior Xuan Yin!"
Xuan Yin Zhenjun accepted the greeting without hesitation.
Then, she secretly transmitted her voice to Chen Yi, her tone carrying a hint of warning: "Kid, I'm helping you this time purely because I like you, it's not out of any favor you owe me."
But remember this: if you bring this kind of trouble to my doorstep again, I'll take you back to Qingfeng Ridge and let Bu Er give you a good beating!
She paused, then added, "Also, don't forget our previous agreement. I'm waiting for you to advance to the fourth level of body refinement!"
Once Bu Er has completed her Nascent Soul cultivation and emerged from seclusion, I will have her take you to Leifeng Pagoda to seek opportunities.
You should cultivate yourself diligently from now on and avoid getting involved in romantic entanglements, so as not to distract yourself!
"Your advice is wise, senior. I will take it to heart."
Chen Yi responded honestly. Facing this powerful figure in the late Nascent Soul stage, who was also Ning Bu'er's master, he naturally dared not be negligent in the slightest.
"Hmph~"
Xuan Yin Zhenjun let out a satisfied hum, and black demonic flames instantly ignited around his body.
As the demonic flames churned, her figure seemed to merge into the darkness, disappearing into mid-air and leaving only a faint aura of demonic flames.
On the other side, Lin Yunsheng gave Chen Yi a deep look, but didn't say another word. The auspicious cloud beneath his feet stirred slightly, turning into a streak of light, and he flew silently toward Qingyun Cave. In his heart, he was already planning to find out the connection between Yue Qingqiu and the Xuan Yin True Lord as soon as possible.
The Black Serpent True Lord had long lost his previous arrogance and was now only filled with anxiety and distress.
He publicly swore an oath that if he failed to pay the compensation on time, given Xuan Yin Zhenjun's temperament, he might actually lead his army to attack Snake King Valley and completely seize his foundation.
He glared fiercely at Yue Qingqiu and Chen Yi, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness, but he dared not linger. There was still a mess to clean up in Snake King Valley. He not only had to deal with the aftermath of the four Core Formation cultivators, but also appease the people. More importantly, he had to find out the origin of the bald, burly man who knew the Vajra Skill as soon as possible and try to find the stolen Medicine King to minimize the losses.
Black Serpent True Lord activated the black mist around him, transforming it into a black streak of light, and flew rapidly towards Serpent King Valley. He felt that one troublesome thing after another was bothering him.
After this battle, Chen Yi and Yue Qingqiu were able to completely stabilize the situation of the Star Moon Sect.
After the Star Moon Sect resumes all kinds of trade, True Monarch Black Serpent will certainly not dare to interfere again in the short term;
As for that old bastard Lin Yunsheng, before he figured out how deep the private relationship between Xuan Yin Zhenjun and Xingyue Sect was, he probably wouldn't dare to secretly pressure Yue Qingqiu anymore, or at least, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly in public.
In addition, Chen Yi also obtained three fourth-tier spiritual herbs from the Snake King Valley herb garden. Together with the ten eight-hundred-year-old fourth-tier spiritual herbs that the two of them had obtained from the Black Snake True Monarch, this operation was a great success. It not only enhanced the reputation of the Star Moon Sect and deterred potential enemies, but also made a real profit.
Yue Qingqiu was in a very good mood, humming a light tune all the way, and took the initiative to lead Chen Yi towards the Medicine King Immortal City.
She insisted that Chen Yi not use any of his magic power, and personally took care of everything, whether it was activating the escape light or handling trivial matters, essentially "serving" him throughout.
She knew in her heart that Chen Yi had made great contributions this time, whether it was the cooperation in the battle or the strategy of luring the black snake to Qingfeng Ridge to borrow the power of Xuan Yin Zhenjun.
However, in everyone's eyes, the real force in this battle was Yue Qingqiu and the Star Moon Combined Divine Power inherited from the Star Moon Sect;
As for Chen Yi, his most outstanding performance from beginning to end was merely the incredibly defensive turtle puppet formation.
Several days later, the two arrived at the Immortal City of Medicine King.
This immortal city is the largest gathering place for spiritual medicine trading in Qingyun Cave Heaven. The city is full of a large number of rogue cultivators who make a living by collecting spiritual medicine, as well as alchemists, pharmacists, doctors, poison masters and other cultivators related to "medicine", making it a lively and bustling place.
As soon as you step into the immortal city, a rich medicinal fragrance wafts over you, a unique blend of various spiritual herbs that is refreshing and invigorating.
In the heart of the Immortal City, a third-grade superior spiritual vein meanders through, nourishing a high-level medicinal garden with a thousand-year history. There, various rare spiritual herbs are planted, making it the "heart" of the Medicine King Immortal City.
Chen Yi and Yue Qingqiu did not linger in the city, but flew straight towards the medicine garden.
After a while, in a simple farmhouse courtyard next to the herb garden, Chen Yi finally met his target: the old master of Medicine King Valley, the Holy Hand True Lord, dressed as a herb farmer.
At this moment, the Holy Hand True Monarch stood barefoot in the medicinal field, holding an old medicinal hoe in his hand, slowly and methodically processing a newly matured third-order spiritual herb, his movements gentle and his eyes focused.
"The Divine Hand Master".
Chen Yi quickly stepped forward and bowed to the old Valley Master, whose hair was white and whose face was kind.
Beside her, the new city lord of Medicine King Immortal City, Fairy Qinglan, was holding a magic incantation and casting a gentle wood-type spell to assist the old valley master in managing the medicinal fields. When she saw Chen Yi arrive, she simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
The old valley master put down the hoe in his hand, slowly straightened up, smiled and waved to Chen Yi, saying humbly, "I'm old and useless now, how can I be worthy of the title of 'master healer'?"
"You young people are so energetic; you are the hope of the cultivation world!"
He patted the dirt off his hands, turned to the side and gestured invitingly, saying to Chen Yi, "Young friend Chen, you must be tired from your journey. It's windy outside, let's go inside and talk."
A moment later, Chen Yi and Yue Qingqiu followed the Holy Hand True Lord into the farmhouse courtyard.
Deep within the seemingly ordinary courtyard lies a spacious hall, inside which are placed dozens of medicine boxes of varying sizes. Some are engraved with the names of spiritual herbs, while others are affixed with sealing runes. The air is filled with a faint fragrance of medicine intertwined with the aura of array spiritual energy.
The Azure Fairy stepped forward first and poured two cups of warm medicinal tea from a jade pot in the corner of the hall for the two of them. The tea soup was light green with a few small spiritual tea leaves floating on it. Before even taking a sip, a bittersweet aroma lingered, invigorating the soul. This was a rare soul tea that could enhance the soul of a nascent spirit!
She handed the teacups to the two of them, and then sat down in the seat next to the old valley master with a respectful posture.
"Young friend Chen, True Lord Qingyue, thank you both for venturing here to deliver the puppet to my Medicine King Immortal City."
The Holy Hand True Lord spoke first, his tone tinged with gratitude, "I have already heard about the hardships and dangers on the road."
The two of you have once again demonstrated the divine power of the combined stars and moon, overcoming the strong with the weak, and forcing the evil Black Serpent True Lord to return empty-handed. This is truly a joy for our righteous path.
The elders of the Star Moon Sect, if they could know this from beyond the grave, would surely be deeply gratified.
"Valley Master, you flatter me."
Chen Yi put down his teacup and replied humbly, "We've only been oppressed by the Black Serpent True Lord for so long that we had no choice but to come out and give it a try. Fortunately, we were lucky and didn't get injured at all, which is a relief."
Chen Yi was in charge of the negotiations with Medicine King Immortal City, and Yue Qingqiu was happy to have some free time.
She held her teacup and sat quietly to the side, watching Chen Yi interact with others. She felt relaxed and at ease, not having to speak up herself.
"Young friend Chen, what about those three puppets—"
Saintly True Monarch changed the subject, his gaze falling on Chen Yi. Although he had guessed that the puppets were likely to be completed, his tone still couldn't hide his anticipation. These three defensive puppets were related to the stability of the foundation of Medicine King Immortal City.
"I have successfully completed my mission."
As Chen Yi spoke, he took out a palm-sized cyan storage bag from his storage bag and handed it to the old valley master.
The bag contained three high-grade, third-tier turtle puppets that he had crafted for the Medicine King Immortal City. Each one had been meticulously refined by him, with the defensive array patterns carved in great detail.
Chen Yi is now highly skilled at crafting turtle puppets that specialize in defense.
If he could obtain materials of a sufficient level, he could even attempt to refine a near-fourth-tier puppet.
After all, the core defensive array patterns of these turtle puppets were all improved based on the core texture of his Thunder Crystal Armor. Since his body refinement was upgraded to the fourth level, his understanding of the superimposed array patterns of the defensive crystal armor has deepened. From the perspective of theoretical knowledge alone, he already possesses the ability of a fourth-level puppeteer.
However, crafting puppets requires combining the characteristics of materials to specifically inscribe array patterns. The actual operation is far more complicated than the theoretical understanding. Different materials have different spiritual energy conductivity, hardness, and toughness. It is necessary to repeatedly adjust the direction and density of the array patterns. All of these can only be mastered gradually with time and a large number of materials for practice.
The old valley master took the storage bag and sent a wisp of divine sense through his fingertip to probe into it.
A moment later, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out: "Excellent! With these puppets, even if I am no longer here in the future, at least I can consolidate the foundation of this third-tier immortal city and prevent the inheritance of Medicine King Valley from being cut off in my hands."
He let out a long sigh of relief, his tone filled with a sense of accomplishment. Over the years, he had been worried that after his death, no one in Medicine King Valley would be able to protect the family business. Now, with these three defensive puppets, he could finally put his mind at ease.
After finishing the transaction of the puppets, the Holy Hand True Lord gave the Azure Fairy a look.
Qinglan Fairy immediately understood and stood up with a smile, saying to Yue Qingqiu, "True Lord Qingyue, there are some special spiritual herbs in the spiritual vein herb garden of my Medicine King Immortal City. Why don't I take you to see them?"
Let me also show you the layout of the spiritual veins in our immortal city.
Yue Qingqiu naturally understood that the old valley master was intentionally trying to get rid of her, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Fairy Qinglan, then I'll have to trouble you."
With that, he followed Fairy Qinglan out of the main hall, leaving only Chen Yi and True Lord Shengshou inside.
Upon seeing this, the Holy Hand True Lord raised his hand and waved it around.
A light green array of light instantly enveloped the entire hall, completely isolating the inside from the outside. Runes flowed on the light screen, blocking divine sense probing and sound leakage.
After doing all this, he put away his smile and looked at Chen Yi with a solemn expression: "Young friend Chen, did you receive my message about the loopholes in the Medicine King Valley's formation? How effective was the message?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi looked puzzled and slowly shook his head: "What message about the loophole in the Medicine King Valley formation? I have never heard of such a thing."
However, I did hear Black Serpent True Lord mention that a bald, burly man who knew the Vajra Kung Fu broke into Serpent King Valley, killed many people, and stole the spiritual medicine.
Is this the matter the old valley master wanted to ask?
