Chapter 381 Wuchen Asks for Help
Judging from Chen Yi's current overall abilities, in this secret realm where his cultivation level is suppressed, he is already no weaker than top-tier beings like the Human-Faced Flood Dragon who do not use fifth-tier innate divine abilities.
In an ancient battlefield environment where entry is restricted to those at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he is practically an unreasonable bug.
Just as Chen Yi was feeling satisfied and preparing to extend his divine sense to sense the changes in the external environment, especially to check on Silver Horn's side to see if they had successfully obtained the Silver Spirit Clan's treasure, the Silver Sky Hammer.
A sudden change occurred.
An extremely unstable beam of black and white light, trailing a distorted tail, streaked rapidly across the sky not far from him.
The beam of light flickered, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, as if it were about to explode at any moment, releasing devastating energy.
Chen Yi scanned the beam of light with his divine sense and locked onto the figure within it.
It is Ji Wuchen.
Moreover, his aura was extremely unstable and weakened to the extreme. He was pale and desperately trying his best to control the violent Yin-Yang Dao rhythm in a ring-shaped spiritual treasure on his wrist, trying his best to prevent it from exploding and destroying his Yin-Yang spiritual treasure on the spot.
"Brother Ji, what brings you in such a hurry? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Chen Yi's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Ji Wuchen's ears.
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuchen, who was fleeing for his life, staggered and nearly fell from the sky.
He turned around abruptly, looking in the direction from which the sound came. His face was first filled with astonishment, then replaced by ecstasy. His expression was like that of a drowning person grasping at the last straw.
Below, Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er stood side by side, both looking refreshed and exuding a harmonious aura.
Chen Yi, in particular, despite not having made any breakthroughs in his cultivation, gave off an aura of profound depth, as if he were subtly in harmony with the world around him.
Looking at Ning Bu'er again, she was also radiant, with an even more impressive aura than before.
Ji Wuchen immediately guessed that in the past few days, they had used the pair of black and white Yin-Yang ginseng to increase their strength by an unknown amount.
Look at yourself again!
Poor Ji Wuchen, alone in the Yin-Yang Realm, withstood the terrifying attack of that human-faced dragon, suffering serious injuries and fleeing in a sorry state.
In order to save his life, he used up both uses of the fourth-tier Thunder Brew Essence that Chen Yi had given him.
And what was the result? The Yin-Yang essence that he had painstakingly obtained not only failed to be refined, but almost burst his own natal spiritual treasure.
In the past few days, he has desperately used all his hidden treasures and all his skills to barely keep the spiritual light in the magical artifact from completely dissipating.
My life couldn't be more miserable!
The contrast between the two situations made Ji Wuchen's grief and indignation seem like a raging river.
"Brother Chen! If you don't come out soon, my natal magical treasure will be ruined!"
Ji Wuchen's voice was choked with sobs. He no longer cared about his image and, controlling the shaky beam of yin-yang light, scrambled to Chen Yi's side.
"Quickly, quickly, think of a way to save it!"
After landing, he was unsteady on his feet. He impatiently took off the Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Ring spiritual treasure from his wrist and was about to put it in Chen Yi's hand.
Chen Yi was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you say you could refine that Yin-Yang Dao Essence yourself?"
Despite his doubts, Chen Yi still reached out and took it.
Upon acquiring the magical treasure, a sensation of intense heat and icy cold washed over him, interspersed with a chaotic energy fluctuation.
He scanned it with his divine sense and probed into it, and his expression immediately froze.
Inside the spiritual treasure space of the black and white magnetic ring, a pure yet extremely violent yin-yang primordial power was raging everywhere.
This force transformed into two raging dragons, one black and one white, tearing and colliding with each other, turning the internal space of the magical treasure upside down and leaving cracks everywhere.
Even though this spiritual treasure is a second-level spiritual treasure that has undergone two heavenly tribulations and is exceptionally sturdy, it is now covered in wounds.
The spirit within, a small black and white figure, was tormented by this power to the point of near death. It was huddled in a corner, trembling, and had already fainted. Its spiritual light was so dim that it could be extinguished at any moment.
Chen Yi judged that if it was not dealt with any further and the violent black and white yin-yang Daoist energy continued to wash over it, this second-tribulation spiritual treasure might really lose all its spirituality and become completely useless.
"This—is the power of Yin and Yang at the fifth rank. Moreover, it has completely entered a state of chaos and disorder. It would be extremely difficult to forcibly remove it or refine it again."
Chen Yi wasn't being insincere; he was telling the truth.
This power is too high-level and has already spiraled out of control. Dealing with it is indeed not as easy as dealing with one's own innate lightning spirit or golden crystal energy.
If he hadn't just consumed the pair of black and white Yin-Yang ginseng, which had elevated his understanding of Yin-Yang Dao to a whole new level, Chen Yi would probably have refused outright. The risks involved were simply too great; a slight misstep could not only prevent him from saving Lingbao, but could also severely injure himself.
But now—
A glint of light flashed in Chen Yi's eyes.
Within this violent Yin-Yang Dao rhythm lies the purest and most fundamental principle. If one could sort out and refine it, it would undoubtedly be a great tonic for him.
This would allow his near-peak fourth-order divine sense to take another steady step forward, perhaps giving him the opportunity to touch upon the true realm of perfect Yin-Yang transformation.
By then, the foundation for his spiritual advancement to the Nascent Soul stage will be incredibly solid.
Risks and opportunities coexist.
"Brother Chen, I can only rely on you now! Please think of a way to save this precious treasure. I'll do whatever it takes afterwards!"
Ji Wuchen, his voice trembling with tears, was almost kneeling before Chen Yi, his face filled with urgency.
"well-
'
Chen Yi sighed, thought for a moment, then looked up and met Ji Wuchen's expectant and pleading eyes, finally nodding.
"I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee success."
He looked at Ji Wuchen and added with a serious expression.
"At most, I'm only 50% sure."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuchen felt as if all his strength had been drained away, yet he had also been infused with new life. The anxiety that had gripped him for days finally subsided, and his face lit up with overwhelming joy.
"Thank you so much, Brother Chen!"
What is the significance of Chen Yi's 50% certainty?
Ji Wuchen had known Chen Yi for so many years, he knew him all too well. If this guy said 50%, then it was practically a sure thing!
The situation was urgent, and Ji Wuchen was already on the verge of collapse, barely clinging to life.
His hands were trembling as he handed over the Yin-Yang Elemental Magnetic Ring.
Looking at his pale face and then at the magical treasure whose internal energy was almost out of control, Chen Yi knew that he couldn't delay any longer.
-
Ji Wuchen was a good brother to Chen Yi, and at this critical moment, Chen Yi had no intention of taking advantage of the situation or demanding exorbitant prices; saving lives was the priority.
Upon touching the Yin-Yang Elemental Magnetic Ring, he felt a surge of ice and fire, and a chaotic Daoist aura rushed up his arm, about to enter his body.
The black and white energies swirled wildly around his body, forming an extremely unstable vortex that seemed ready to explode at any moment.
Chen Yi immediately used his Yin-Yang Divine Sense power, which was close to the peak of the fourth rank, to suppress the invading Daoist aura.
Without further delay, he took the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring Spirit Treasure, turned around, and went underground.
This is the cave he opened up when he first started cultivating with Ning Bu'er. To ensure that his cultivation would not be disturbed, he set up multiple concealment formations, which could not only isolate the fluctuations of spiritual energy, but also resist the perception and spying of most of the divine senses from the outside world.
Upon entering the cave, Chen Yi paused.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to Ning Bu'er, who had followed him in, and said, "The Yin-Yang Daoist energy of this thing is too violent. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for me to suppress and refine it by myself. Come in and help me."
Ning Bu'er glanced at the restless spiritual treasure in Chen Yi's hand, then at his serious expression. Without asking any further questions, she simply nodded and said softly, "Alright."
Chen Yi was relieved and turned to Ji Wuchen, who was meditating cross-legged outside the cave entrance, saying, "Brother Ji, Bu'er and I will go in to refine this item. You will protect us outside, just in case."
Ji Wuchen was already exhausted, and could only nod with difficulty, replying hoarsely, "Thank you, Brother Chen. I am deeply grateful."
After saying that, he closed his eyes, forcing himself to stay alert and keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.
The stone door to the cave slowly closed, isolating the inside from the outside.
Meanwhile, a dozen miles away, in a place shrouded in mist, a demon with a body like a dragon, a long snake tail, and a charming human face was watching the scene unfolding between Ji Wuchen and Chen Yi with gleaming eyes.
She is none other than the human-faced dragon.
She had been secretly following Ji Wuchen for three days and three nights.
She thought that Ji Wuchen was at his limit and that soon the Yin-Yang black and white Daoist aura would completely engulf his Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Ring Spirit Treasure, thus completing a transformation and becoming stronger.
The human-faced dragon's plan was simple: she would wait for the spiritual treasure to be destroyed, and before it self-destructed to form a new, chaotic but opportunity-filled Yin-Yang realm, she would immediately rush up, seize the formed Daoist essence, and claim it as her own.
This is a highly nourishing substance, enough to elevate the strength of her demonic body to another level.
But unexpectedly, plans can't keep up with changes.
At the last moment, Ji Wuchen was able to find a helper, a cultivator from the Great Azure Realm who seemed to have considerable cultivation, who appeared willing to help him solve the problem of the Yin-Yang Origin.
The human-faced dragon observed Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er from afar, its mind racing with thoughts.
"A pair of young male and female cultivators I don't recognize. They are completely unfamiliar with each other, but their cultivation is extremely strong. Their aura is harmonious and their foundation is solid. They seem to be practicing dual cultivation."
"Could they be the ones who stole the pair of black and white Yin-Yang ginseng?"
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she shook her head.
"That shouldn't be possible. Those black and white Yin-Yang Xuan Shen are fifth-tier divine objects. How could they be refined into nothingness in just three days, leaving no trace of their aura? This doesn't make sense."
"Besides, this handsome young man and beautiful young woman are both upright and don't seem like the treacherous bald monk who would do something like stabbing someone in the back."
The human-faced dragon flicked its snake tail, denying any connection between Chen Yi and the bald monk who had previously ambushed it with the "Diamond Finger" and stolen another opportunity.
She originally intended to simply rush over and snatch it herself.
But she quickly suppressed that thought.
She could sense that although the three people below were young, they were all promising talents from the Great Green Realm, and their strength should not be underestimated. Especially that kid surnamed Ji; if she made a move now, he would definitely fight her to the death without hesitation.
With her original divine power depleted and the power of this Nascent Soul avatar dwindling with each use, she didn't want her precious power to be wasted so soon by a few young cultivators from the lower realms of the Great Azure Realm.
What should I do?
The human-faced dragon licked its crimson tongue, a cunning glint in its eyes.
She thought for a moment, and a sinister plan came to mind.
"Heh, let you dogs fight it out."
The human-faced dragon spread its senses, like an invisible spider web, and began to carefully search the area.
She found it very quickly.
That fierce and domineering Buddhist aura was like a bright lamp in the dark night. Although the other party was trying to restrain itself, it was all too familiar to her, who had been severely injured by this power before.
She found the aura of the bald monk who had damaged her innate strength.
The human-faced dragon immediately sent a wisp of its divine sense to Kudu in that direction, saying, "Monk, come this way! I think I've found the whereabouts of your pair of Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng!"
Regardless of whether the pair of Xuan Shen (a type of medicinal herb) are really here, she'll lure the monk here first. Once he arrives and sees the scene, given his greedy nature, he'll definitely make a move.
Kudu had already found the vicinity.
He's been driven crazy these past few days.
No matter how he used his divination skills or employed the secret methods of cause and effect, he could not find the whereabouts of the pair of Yin-Yang Xuan Shen through any clues.
The two spirits seemed to have vanished into thin air, which was an utter disgrace to him, a man skilled in divination.
He naturally didn't know that Chen Yi carried a celestial jade, whose high status was enough to shield him from almost all prying eyes and perceptions in this world.
However, just half an hour ago, the situation took a turn for the better.
Three days later, just when he was about to give up, he suddenly sensed a faint force of cause and effect, like a thread, drawing his senses toward this unknown valley.
Although the pulling force was weak, it was incredibly clear, instantly waking him from his meditation and causing him to rush over without hesitation.
This was precisely because after Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er finished their dual cultivation, they stopped inputting their divine sense into the Immortal Jade, which weakened the function of shielding perception. This allowed Ku Du to barely deduce a thread of cause and effect and find this area.
Now, Kudu has just found the area within several dozen miles of this cave and is making the final location by following the power of cause and effect. Just then, he heard the human-faced dragon's voice transmission.
His own karmic connections, along with the telepathic message from his mortal enemy, the Human-Faced Flood Dragon, further confirmed his suspicion that the pair of Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng should be located here!
However, for some reason, I couldn't find any specific information about Scrophularia ningpoensis.
"Won't it have been refined?"
A chill ran through my heart as I endured the bitterness.
