After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 1013 Huang Can's Child Spirit Curse, an Empty Farm!

"What's next?" Huang Can asked.

Chen Yang observed from a distance for a moment, then said, "No rush, let's wait until it gets dark and figure out the situation first!"

Huang Can looked worried. "I'm afraid my master and the others won't be able to hold on!"

"They're at the Creation Realm, after all; they're not that fragile!"

Chen Yang shook his head. Of course, he could choose to charge straight in. Having just broken through to the Dao True Realm, he was full of energy with nowhere to use it. However, to be on the safe side, he should first find out the situation.

Once it gets dark, he can use the Moon Concealment Technique to go down and investigate in person. If he finds an opportunity to do it, he will do it directly.

There's no need to rush right now; rushing won't help.

It won't be long before it gets dark.

"You didn't use the prayer beads your uncle gave you?" Chen Yang asked.

"I already used it!"

Huang Can gave a wry smile. "My fellow uncles each have one or two prayer beads, totaling more than twenty. When we encountered that guy surnamed Tian that day, we used them immediately, but that fellow was too powerful. My master wanted to launch a sneak attack, but he discovered it and the darts couldn't hit him at all..."

Even a sneak attack requires skill.

You've already been discovered, so what kind of sneak attack is that?
Not everyone is like Chen Yang, with such strong skills and foundation in scheming.

This kind of thing requires the right timing, location, and people; all three are indispensable.

More than twenty of them, and none of them hurt anyone. What a waste.

If all these prayer beads were given to Chen Yang, it would be enough to launch a large-scale battle!
……

Time flew by, and night soon fell.

As darkness slowly descended upon the mountains and forests, the figures working in the fields below the mountains had all finished their work.

"You all stay here, I'll go down the mountain and take a look!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Yang immediately prepared to take action.

"Aren't you taking me with you?" Huang Can quickly called out to him.

Chen Yang turned to look at him, "Don't cause trouble!"

Huang Can was both amused and exasperated. He pointed to Mo Yuan beside him and said, "Even if you don't take me, you should at least take it with you, right?"

What do you mean by putting me with this rat? Didn't you just say that I'm now the flesh of Tang Sanzang, and this rat can eat people?
Chen Yang glanced at Mo Yuan, then glared at Huang Can. "It won't dare eat you. Stay here obediently. If you run around and get killed, I won't be responsible!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Can looked embarrassed, and then saw that Chen Yang had already disappeared into the night.

This……

On the hilltop, only Huang Can and Mo Yuan remained in an instant.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"hey-hey!"

Huang Can turned his head to look at Mo Yuan, nodded, and gave a dry laugh.

Mo Yuanteng stood up abruptly, making a move to approach Huang Can.

"Don't!"

Huang Can subconsciously took a few steps back. "Brother Hao, my meat doesn't taste good. They say virgin meat is sour..."

Mo Yuan frowned slightly. "How old are you?"

"I'm twenty-eight!"

"Twenty-eight or still a virgin?"

"Uh……"

Huang Can was a little embarrassed. What's wrong with being a 28-year-old virgin? Who says you can't be a virgin at 28? Is it illegal to be a virgin at 28?

Mo Yuan's words touched a nerve, and Huang Can was naturally unhappy. However, the rat was putting too much pressure on him and was too dangerous.

He was inwardly complaining, but still wore a smile on his face. "I already have a girlfriend..."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Mo Yuan felt that this kid was a bit nonsensical, and his words were hard to understand.

Huang Can said, "What I mean is, if nothing unexpected happens, I should soon no longer be a virgin..."

A desperate attempt to save face.

"Ah!"

Mo Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes sweeping over Huang Can's face. "I think you should just keep it that way!"

"Huh?" Huang Can looked at it in surprise.

Mo Yuan said, "The older a virgin is, the more valuable he becomes. A urination from a virgin who has been in the body for over a hundred years is a sacred object for warding off evil..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Can almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

But Mo Yuan continued, "Moreover, I know a little about physiognomy. Forgive my bluntness, but your face indicates a natural child's fate. If nothing unexpected happens, you must have been cursed as a child, but no one helped you pass through the curse. You survived by sheer luck, passing through the three, five, and nine-year mark on your own. This makes your fate even stronger. Someone like you has a constitution that is different from ordinary people, but your potential has not yet been developed..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Can's eyes lit up. More than one person had said that he was lucky, but only Mo Yuan had explained the reason for his luck like this.

"My constitution is different? What kind of constitution do I have?" Huang Can asked.

Mo Yuan said, "The Child Spirit Curse is also a type of innate curse, and a rather strong one at that. Your situation is extremely rare. There are many people in this world who are cursed by the Child Spirit Curse, but very few can pass the three, five, or nine-year-old hurdle, unless a master from the Xuanmen sect helps to overcome the curse. However, in this case, the original innate innate curse body is essentially ruined..."

"It's remarkable that you managed to get through the three-five-nine age hurdle without anyone helping you pass through the evil spirits. What's even more remarkable is that you've managed to retain your virginity until now..."

……

"So, I should feel proud?"

Huang Can initially thought it sounded pretty good, as if he was quite impressive, but upon closer listening, something seemed off.

Is this mouse mocking me?
Yes, it's mocking me!

At twenty-eight, I'm still a virgin, and you actually say I can endure it? Do you think I can endure it? You think I want to endure it? I'm just holding it in!

Huang Can said, "Brother Hao, what you just said about being born with a divine and evil physique sounds amazing, but I don't feel anything about it."

"It would be strange if you felt anything. Someone like you, born with a 'child spirit curse,' has it hidden in your bloodline. To activate it is not a simple matter..."

How can we stimulate it?

Upon hearing this, Huang Can's eyes lit up.

He knew about and had seen the Divine Fiends; Chen Yang's cousin-in-law, the mountain demon, was one of them.

That's someone who, after going berserk, can directly fight opponents of higher ranks.

That's awesome!

If he could possess the Divine Fiend Body, wouldn't he be able to directly fight against Dao True Realm cultivators?
What Mo Yuan just said matched many of his circumstances, making it highly credible, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

At this moment, Huang Can's thirst for knowledge exploded.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan shook his head directly. "I can tell you the method, but we are not related, so why should I help you?"

One sentence completely stunned Huang Can.

After a long pause, Huang Can finally asked, "What do you want?"

Mo Yuan chuckled, "Nothing more than wanting to taste the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum..."

Huang Can paused, "Brother Hao, this joke isn't funny at all!"

"Ah!"

Mo Yuan sneered, "Who's joking with you? You're a hot commodity right now. Eating you would be no different from eating a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum..."

Huang Can wasn't sure if Mo Yuan was telling the truth or just teasing him. "Lingzhi is lingzhi. If you want to know what a thousand-year-old lingzhi tastes like, I can describe it to you. A thousand-year-old lingzhi and a ten-year or hundred-year-old lingzhi actually taste pretty much the same, except that a thousand-year-old lingzhi has a drier texture..."

This kid is really a bit of an oddball.

"No, I absolutely must taste this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum today!" Mo Yuan made a move to get closer.

It bared its teeth, their fangs gleaming coldly in the night.

"and many more!"

Huang Can quickly called out to it, "Brother Hao, let's talk this out. You don't want Chen Yang to come back and punish you, do you? Chen Yang and I are very good friends. I already digested that thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum; I even had diarrhea this morning. You..."

"You insulted me?" Mo Yuan's eyes flashed coldly.

"Don't dare!"

Huang Can said, "I'm telling the truth, I really digested it..."

Mo Yuan said, "Even if it's digested, the medicinal power of the Ganoderma lucidum has already been integrated into your essence and blood. Give me some of your essence and blood to taste, and I'll tell you how to activate your Divine Fiend Body..."

Huang Can's face twitched. "Fine, don't tell me then. I don't have any essence blood, but I have blood essence. If you want it, wait until I've recovered, and I'll give you a shot..."

Mo Yuan was slightly taken aback.

It was just a mouse and didn't quite understand some human terms. Could it be that essence and blood were two different things?

"Or?" Huang Can asked earnestly.

Mo Yuan didn't understand, but he could tell that this kid was up to no good.

"Humph!"

It snorted coldly, "Kid, I gave you a chance but you didn't do it. In that case, don't blame me for being ungrateful. You might as well stay single for the rest of your life, so as not to hurt others and yourself!"

"Harming others and harming yourself? What do you mean?" Huang Can asked.

Mo Yuan said, "You have been carrying the curse of a child spirit for twenty-eight years. Ordinary people carrying this curse would have a hard time passing the three, five, or nine-year hurdles, and only a very small minority could survive a full cycle of the Chinese zodiac. But you have survived more than two cycles. The strength of the curse energy within you is so great that how many women could withstand it? If you still want your girlfriend to live, you should break up with her as soon as possible..."

Password!
Huang Can cursed inwardly, "I'm always the one who tries to persuade people to stay together, not to break up. This rat is no good."

However, Mo Yuan's words still left a shadow in Huang Can's heart. After all, many details of what Mo Yuan said matched up.

In any case, this matter definitely needs to be clarified, otherwise he really has no confidence. At this moment, he has made up his mind to ask Chen Yang properly when he returns.

Since Chen Yang raised this rat, it couldn't possibly disobey him when he spoke to it.

……

-

Meanwhile, Chen Yang used the Moon Shadow Technique to arrive at the foot of the mountain and quickly approached the farmland.

In the farmland, several ferocious beasts at the Creation Realm were on guard, each controlling a different direction of the farmland.

Many spiritual plants are also distributed around the farmland. Among them, there are a few at the Creation Realm, and quite a few at the Spirit Realm. As for spiritual plants below the Spirit Realm that have just begun to develop spiritual awareness, there are even more of them.

These spiritual plants gathered together in considerable numbers, forming a natural barrier. Tian Bonong would likely notice even the slightest disturbance.

Chen Yang didn't dare to make any rash moves. He tried his best to figure out the situation in this area, hoping to meet Tian Bonong and seize the opportunity to make a move against him.

Once Tian Bolong dies, he will be able to give an explanation to Bashe.

And he himself was able to have a clear understanding of things.

The defense formed by these spiritual plants is quite formidable. The slightest disturbance will alert them, prompting them to report the situation to Tian Bonong. It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to infiltrate.

Chen Yang used his lightness skill to slowly walk around the entire farm.

To the east are large areas of farmland, with hundreds of acres of rice planted, while to the west are various kinds of medicinal herbs, and some areas are planted with vegetables.

At this time, the rice should have already been harvested once, and the new rice seedlings are still being cultivated, while the fields are still being plowed.

The radar scanned a general terrain.

Two Dao Zhen Realm spirit beasts and three spirit plants.

A black tiger and a spotted leopard, both at the early stage of the Dao True Realm.

The three spiritual plants are a rice plant, a pine tree, and a black vine.

Among them, the Black Blood Vine is at the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm, while the rice and pine trees are at the early stage of the Dao True Realm.

However, Chen Yang did not find any trace of Tian Bonong.

He had checked every corner of the farm, and Chen Yang had also gone close to examine the cave that Huang Can had mentioned.

The lights weren't on, and Tian Bonong wasn't inside.

They didn't see Yuanlong and the others either. The simple wooden houses were empty; there wasn't a single person in sight.

I clearly saw them finishing work just now, how come no one is here?
Has something gone wrong?

Chen Yang couldn't even find any trace of the enslaved beasts.

Weird.

This discovery made Chen Yang feel a little uneasy.

What is going on here?
Do you want to take action?
Although the main figure is not here and he doesn't know where Tian Bonong and the others have gone, he can easily handle the remaining forces.

No matter where Tian Bonong went, as long as a fight breaks out and the commotion gets big, it will definitely alert him to show up.

However, this would expose him, and he would inevitably have to confront Tian Bonong head-on.

Chen Yang prefers to operate from the shadows, quietly launching attacks on his opponents.

Chen Yang stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

Under the absolute concealment of the Moon Concealment Technique, they quietly infiltrated the farm.

……

Without anyone noticing, he even sneaked past that pine tree at the early stage of the Dao True Realm without it noticing at all.

We arrived at the shantytown area.

Chen Yang looked around and confirmed that there was no one there.

It was filled with human belongings, very messy and dirty; it was practically a slum.

After searching around with my nose held, I found nothing but some farm tools like hoes and shovels.

There was no one there; it was deserted and quiet.

Chen Yang walked straight towards Tian Bonong's cave.

At the entrance, a black vine stands guard.

Thick vines clung to the stone wall in front of the cave entrance, forming an archway that made it impossible to tell where the beginning or the end was.

To enter the cave, one must pass through the vines in the stone wall, inevitably stepping on them. Even if one hides and conceals their presence, they will definitely be detected.

This Black Blood Vine is at the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm. As a vine-type spiritual plant, it is one of the more difficult spiritual plants that Chen Yang has encountered so far.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yang decided to temporarily give up on going in.

Instead, they turned and went in another direction.

A hundred meters away, there are two caves, each guarded by a black tiger and a spotted leopard, respectively.

Both are at the early stage of the Dao True Realm.

Chen Yang just scanned the two caves with radar and concluded that they were likely used as warehouses.

With the Heavenly Eye activated, it can be seen that this area is located at a massive convergence point of earth veins, and the dense earth vein energy splits into three streams, converging towards three caves respectively.

There is probably a spirit-gathering formation inside.

Chen Yang was aware that the Shennong Sect members were skilled in formations.

Chen Yang quietly approached the first cave entrance.

I didn't dare use my mental power to investigate, for fear of being discovered by the other party.

It can be detected by radar, without anyone knowing.

Inside the cave, a giant leopard, three meters long and covered in spots, was fast asleep near the entrance.

Chen Yang slowly crept in, quietly approaching.

Take out the Medicine King's Divine Needle.

"Shhhhh..."

The silver needles flew out swiftly, instantly sealing several acupoints on the leopard's head and body.

Forced to sleep.

"Hah, whew..."

The spotted leopard stirred in its sleep, but didn't wake up; it simply changed position and slept even more soundly.

……

"Ding! SS-level ferocious beast [Leopard King] detected. Encyclopedia entry unlocked. Reward: [Heart-Questioning Pill] *5. Items have been placed in system space and can be retrieved at any time!"

……

"Ding, mission issued!"

"Mission: Hunt the SS-rank ferocious beast [Leopard King], progress (0/1)."

Reward: Sword Offering Stone *1

……

A system notification then sounded.

Chen Yang walked past it and entered the cave, intending to be a master thief who could remain unnoticed.

As for these spirit beasts and plants, they were easy to deal with; he just didn't want to make too much of a commotion.

Inside the cave.

There is indeed a spirit-gathering formation, and the energy inside is extremely concentrated.

This is a space that is tens of meters wide and long, and the cave is seven or eight meters high. As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of animal skin bags and burlap bags of various sizes, each one bulging and full.

There were so many bags that they were piled up like a mountain.

Chen Yang walked over and casually slit open a bag.

Some grains of rice fell out.

Linggu.

Rice grains containing the energy of the earth's veins.

Ordinary millet, when eaten by cultivators, especially high-level cultivators, offers no benefit other than satisfying their appetite. On the contrary, they have to spend time expelling worldly impurities and effort excreting waste.

Therefore, once one reaches the Dao True Realm, the body can communicate better with heaven and earth, and one can try to completely abstain from grains, relying solely on the absorption of various energies from heaven and earth to supply the energy needed for daily life.

Of course, if the environment is sparse in terms of energy and spiritual energy, then that's another story.

To improve their cultivation, many cultivators choose to abstain from grains, sometimes for months or even years, as eating, drinking, and relieving themselves are extremely inconvenient.

However, spiritual grains and spiritual rice are different. They contain the energy of the earth's veins, which can help with cultivation. Eating more of them is actually beneficial.

Inside the cave, besides spirit grains, there were also spirit beans and other things, tons and tons, a truly considerable quantity.

The storage method is also simple: put old and new grains together, use the spirit-gathering array to gather the earth vein energy, so that the storage environment has a very high concentration of earth vein energy, ensuring that the energy in the spirit grains and spirit beans will not be lost.

Perhaps Tian Bonong didn't have any storage treasures, or perhaps his storage treasures were too small.

After all these years of harvest, how much of it could Tian Bonong actually use himself? After each harvest, there always had to be a place to store all the crops.

But regardless, Chen Yang ended up getting the better deal!
