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

Chapter 765 The Mystery of the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant, and the Arrival of Chen Qiaogu!

There was no response.

Chen Yang frowned slightly.

After the phoenix-patterned jade pendant was placed inside, there was still no reaction.

Am I overthinking it?

That's not how it's used at all?
"Try infusing your true essence into the jade pendant."

At this moment, the voice of the Five Thunder Immortal entered Chen Yang's mind.

Chen Yang nodded.

He placed his hands on the two jade pendants and poured his true essence into them.

"Buzz!"

Both jade pendants vibrated simultaneously.

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow slightly. He had tried to infuse his true essence into the two jade pendants to study their mysteries, but there had been no reaction.

But now it reacted.

"Buzz!"

The two jade pendants vibrated simultaneously, as if they were resonating with each other.

The next instant, Chen Yang clearly sensed that some kind of energy substance was gathering into the two jade pendants from within the stone tablet.

Chen Yang quickly activated his Heavenly Eye and used the Qi Observation Technique.

On the otherwise ordinary stone tablet, two streams of energy, one gold and one red, were surging. They seemed to be gushing out from inside the stone tablet, intertwining with each other, and then separating, each being absorbed by one of the two jade pendants.

The golden energy was absorbed by the dragon-patterned jade pendant, while the red energy was absorbed by the phoenix-patterned jade pendant.

As Chen Yang poured in his true essence, it was as if a switch had been turned on. The faster the true essence was poured in, the faster the two jade pendants absorbed the two types of energy.

The whole process lasted about three minutes.

The energy within the stone tablet seemed to have been completely drained, and the jade pendant stopped moving.

Chen Yang felt that a significant amount of his true essence had been drained away.

"call!"

Chen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief when the jade pendant stopped.

"Kaka..."

Before Chen Yang could react, cracking sounds came from inside the Zhenshan Stele.

Like ice shattering, the sound spread from the inside out, from subtle to intense, from the center of the stone tablet to the entire tablet.

Cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the stone tablet, and the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

rustling...

The once-solid stone tablet began to crumble and crumble rapidly, as if it had been weathered.

"Boom..."

The stone tablet trembled violently and crumbled in an instant.

Chen Yang reacted quickly, grabbing the two jade pendants and leaping back a few steps.

Wow…

Small pebbles were quickly scattered all over the ground.

Like an old man whose life force has been drained.

The stone tablet that had just stood tall instantly turned into a pile of fine stones and powder.

Even the stone tortoise that served as the base was completely shattered.

Chen Yang was stunned for two seconds. The Mountain-Suppressing Stele was gone just like that?
He then looked at the dragon and phoenix jade pendant in his hand.

It seems to be no different from before.

He tried to inject his true essence into it, but the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, just like before, showed no reaction at all.

Even when using mental energy to probe inside, no abnormality could be detected.

This……

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, his two eyebrows furrowing into a "几" shape.

The Five Thunder Immortal said, "Isn't it said that there are three Mountain-Suppressing Steles? Perhaps if we find the other two, the mystery of this Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant can be solved."

When he said this, Master Wu Lei was filled with anticipation.

Legend has it that the Zhenshan Stele is related to the secret of the severed Heavenly Road.

Why did the Five Thunder Immortal end up like this? It was because he went to Ailao Mountain to find the secret of the severed Heavenly Road and the hope of achieving the Celestial Realm, but ended up suffering a great calamity.
Now that the secret may very well be right in front of him, how could he not be excited?

Even though he is now only a primordial spirit, his yearning for truth remains undiminished.

Does the Mountain-Suppressing Stele truly hold the secret to breaking through to the Celestial Realm?
Xuan Jing and the others thought it was nonsense, but with the appearance of the dragon and phoenix pendants and the strange phenomenon just now, Chen Yang now felt that it wasn't entirely impossible.

Just now, the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant absorbed two streams of energy from the Mountain-Suppressing Stele, but no one knows what they were.

Neither the Five Thunder Immortal nor the Three Corpse Divine Tree could explain it.

To find out what secrets are hidden in this dragon and phoenix jade pendant, we probably need to find the other two mountain-suppressing steles.

However, there are two remaining steles, one on Qingshen Mountain and the other on Ailao Mountain.

How do I get my hands on it?
He didn't have much interaction with Qingshen Mountain; his only connection was with Duan Qiuping.

Qingshenshan probably still doesn't know about Duan Qiuping's death, let alone that he was the one who caused Duan Qiuping's death.

Chen Yang neither disliked nor liked Qingshen Mountain, after all, it was Duan Qiuping's sect.

Duan Qiuping is Duan Qiuping, and Qingshenshan is Qingshenshan. He has not had any contact with anyone else from Qingshenshan, so there is no need to condemn him outright.

If he were to approach them now and ask to borrow the Zhenshan Stele, would he have a chance?

They probably wouldn't even give you a second glance.

Or, could we ask Xuan Jing and the others to step in and get Qing Shen Mountain to give us face?

One is a Buddhist sect, and the other is a Taoist sect. Chen Yang wasn't quite sure what the relationship was between the two, so he probably couldn't give them face.

After all, why did so many Taoist sects of Emei relocate to Qingshen Mountain back then? It was probably related to the growth of Buddhist sects of Emei.

The part left behind by the Taoist sect may have a good relationship with the Buddhist sect of Emei, but those who left Emei and started their own sects might have some difficulty maintaining their positions.

After thinking it over, Chen Yang decided to find an opportunity to ask Xuan Qing first.

If we could use our connections in Emei to directly obtain the mountain-suppressing stele from Qingshen Mountain, that would save us a lot of trouble.

As for the area in Ailao Mountain...

Old Zhou said he had seen it in the Ailao Mountains, and Wu Lei Zhenren also said he had seen it in the Ailao Mountains, but that was many years ago. As for whether it is still there now, or whether it has been taken away by someone, that is uncertain.

Moreover, according to the Five Thunder Immortals, the location of the stone tablet is in the heart of the Ailao Mountains, a very dangerous place.

Many Dao Realm experts, including the Five Thunder True Man, have entered the place, but very few have come out alive.

With Chen Yang's current abilities, would he dare to go?
If they go, they might not come back.
Moreover, Raojiang is the territory of the Gu God Sect.

Chen Yang took a deep breath.

Strength, strength.

Ultimately, it all comes down to ability.

Chen Yang gripped the jade pendant tightly in his hand, eager to become stronger.

Recently, he has been facing increasingly stronger opponents, and he can only rely on the power of elixirs to fight against those stronger than himself.

But what if there's no more medicine?
He had already digested the only top-grade Five Dragon Pill, and its medicinal power was almost completely exhausted. Suddenly losing the power of the five dragons was like falling from the sky to the ground, leaving him feeling somewhat empty.

Although he still had a few Five Dragon Pills left, they were all refined by himself and were of inferior quality, incomparable to the Five Dragon Pills given by the system. They could only increase the power of one dragon.

You have to be strong yourself to forge iron. Perhaps it's time to adjust my own level of understanding.

His mental state had already reached the mid-stage of the Creation Realm, but his cultivation had not yet broken through, and he always felt that there was still a layer of paper separating him from the breakthrough.

Go refine elixirs.

Chen Yang took a deep breath, preparing to refine the [Gathering Spirit Pill] mentioned by the Three Corpse Divine Tree, and quickly raise his divine sense to grade 200 so that he could use the [Primordial Spirit Pill] to condense his primordial spirit.

He had encountered many Dao Realm experts, and everyone said that the primordial spirit had endless uses. It was the trump card of Dao Realm experts. If he could condense his primordial spirit, his strength would definitely rise to another level.

After putting away the two jade pendants, Chen Yang went straight to the backyard.

Chen Yang had long developed the habit of staying up late at night.

……

-

As the moon set in the west and hid behind the distant Pangpo Ridge, the sun peeked out from the direction of Mount Emei in the east, and golden sunlight began to spill across the world.

"Ha ha……"

Chen Yang's laughter echoed from the backyard of the Chen family's old house.

Beside the bamboo grove, Chen Yang stood full of energy, his eyes shining.

The furnace in front of him was already lit, and he was holding several scalding hot pills in his hand, tossing them back and forth.

Chen Yang's face was full of a satisfied smile, just like an old farmer who had worked hard all year and had just reaped a bountiful harvest.

The weasel king was pushing firewood out of the stove, his eyes and brows showing a human-like smile.

not easy.

The man and the beast worked hard all night, ruining at least ten batches and wasting countless medicines, but finally, before dawn, they successfully refined the first batch of [Gathering Spirit Pill].

The recipe was also given by the Three Corpse Divine Tree, and it was refined under the guidance of the Three Corpse Divine Tree.

The process of achieving the pill was truly arduous, with repeated failures keeping Chen Yang on the verge of exploding all night.

Fortunately, he adjusted his mindset in time, learned from his repeated failures, and listened to the guidance of the Three Corpse Divine Tree, which finally led to his first success.

The Gathering Spirit Pill is of a higher grade than the Three Elements Pill.

It is a pill specifically designed to enhance spiritual power, and it also has a certain effect on improving the primordial spirit.

The moment the pill was completed, Chen Yang immediately felt that all the hard work of the night was worthwhile.

He was too lazy to find anyone else to test the medicine, so he tidied up the backyard, cleaned the Qiankun Qi Furnace, put it away, and went straight back to his bedroom.

Taking drugs and practicing martial arts.

The medicine has been refined, and the Three Corpse Divine Tree has touted it as miraculous. However, since it was the first batch of pills, only five pills were produced, and their quality was not high. Therefore, we will have to try to find out how effective they will be.

……

After swallowing a pill, Chen Yang immediately began cultivating.

The medicinal effects were quickly released, and streams of energy rapidly entered the meridians, penetrated the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) gate, and nourished the three flowers within the body.

By now, it was already dawn. Cultivation of divine sense and primordial spirit are all Yin-type cultivations, which are averse to extremely Yang things such as sunlight.

Therefore, practicing at night is the best time, while practicing during the day is much less effective.

Chen Yang just wanted to see the effect and didn't care about anything else; he didn't want to wait even a moment longer.

Anyway, it's not fully light yet, so as long as he doesn't unleash the Three Flowers and expose himself to the sunlight, it's fine.

The three flowers were pressed within the body, and the medicinal power poured in, nourishing the three flowers of cultivation. The divine thoughts hidden within the three flowers were like encountering sweet rain, rapidly amplifying the medicinal power and subsequently growing significantly stronger. ...

More than half an hour later.

Chen Yang opened his eyes; the medicinal power of the [Gathering Spirit Pill] had been almost completely absorbed by him.

He quickly pulled up the system panel and took a look.

……

Name: Chen Yang.

Physical strength: 34695.

Mental power: 33927/37980.

Divine thought: 19035.

……

His divine sense finally reached grade 190, previously it was a little over grade 189. In other words, the effect of one [Gathering Spirit Pill] can help him improve his divine sense cultivation by about one grade.

If it's at night, the effect should be enhanced by practicing the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill".

The Three Corpse Divine Tree said that the old tortoise once refined a top-grade [Gathering Spirit Pill], whose effects were so good that it could help cultivators in the Creation Realm directly improve their divine sense cultivation by ten grades.

Chen Yang's pills could only improve one grade, making the effect ten times worse. It's clear that the quality of the Gathering Spirit Pills he refined was not high.

However, it doesn't matter. If the quality is not good enough, we can make up for it with quantity. It doesn't matter if the effect is not good enough, as long as there is enough quantity.

How high of a quality can you expect when this is your first time refining this kind of elixir?

"call!"

Chen Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.

It was past six o'clock, and the sky was already bright. Once the sun came out, cultivating one's spiritual power would not only be twice as difficult but could also damage one's spiritual power.

He still had four Spirit Gathering Pills in his hand.

He suppressed the urge to gulp it down and put the pill away.

One pill can only raise one grade of divine sense cultivation, so these four pills can only raise his divine sense to grade 194.

That's not enough. I need to refine two more batches and accumulate a few more. Then, at night, I'll go all out and directly break through to the 200th grade realm.

Chen Yang was full of energy at this moment, and immediately ran to the backyard to continue his alchemy work.

Anyway, there are still medicinal herbs left, and he has stored quite a lot of monkey knots, so he can afford to waste them.

……

-

Pingqiang Town, Yafeng Restaurant.

An elderly woman stepped off the elevator, followed by a frail old man.

The old woman looked to be only in her sixties. She was rather thin, with her hair tied up in a high bun. Her hair was shiny and black, and she was wearing a black training uniform embroidered with a golden dragon. She looked very energetic.

She walked ahead at a leisurely pace, while the old man behind her, leaning on his cane, tried to catch up but could clearly not keep up with her speed.

"Big sister, wait!"

The old man quickly called out.

That "big sister" made the two young women at the front desk look up at her.

The old woman stopped in her tracks.

He turned to look at the old man and said, "I'm just going out for a stroll and to have breakfast. What are you doing following me?"

The old man quickly caught up, "I know this town well, sister. What would you like to eat? I'll take you there."

The old woman looked at him calmly and said, "Go back."

His face was as cold as frost, his phoenix eyes slightly raised as he coldly looked at the old man in front of him, his voice even colder, completely commanding.

"Miss..."

The old man paused upon hearing this, clearly somewhat intimidated by the old woman's imposing manner, and wanted to say something more.

What a fierce old lady.

The two receptionists felt as if the air around them had suddenly gotten much colder, and they instinctively shrank their necks.

"I don't want to say it a second time."

The old woman spoke calmly, giving the old man no chance to disobey.

"Then be careful, and call me if anything happens."

In front of this old woman, the old man was completely like a well-behaved child, not daring to talk back at all.

He gave an awkward laugh, turned around dejectedly, and staggered toward the elevator.

The old woman left the hotel immediately.

……

-

When the sunlight shines on the mulberry field next to the bitter bamboo forest.

An old woman stood in front of Chen Antai's grave.

She brought some incense, candles, and paper money, lit them in front of the grave, and bowed. Her gaze fell on the destroyed tombstone, and the old woman's face was clearly very pale.

"Who did it?"

Sensing the changes in the feng shui of the cemetery, the old woman, her face frosty, asked a question indifferently.

Behind him, a middle-aged man stepped forward. He was Fang Ping, the youngest son-in-law whom Chen Jingzong had arranged to guard the tomb here.

"Aunt, what did you say?" Fang Ping asked.

The old woman, suppressing her anger, pointed to the fallen tombstone beside her and asked, "Who did this?"

Who knocked down that perfectly good tombstone?

A perfectly good fire pit evil spirit could have taken shape in just a few days, but the tombstone fell over and the fire was dissipated. How can the fire pit evil spirit take shape now?
Fang Ping suddenly realized and quickly said, "It was Qian Huai Ren. Uncle Qian had it done. Not long ago, my father-in-law brought him here, and after he saw it, he had the tombstone knocked down..."

"Qian Huai-ren?"

The old woman's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

Fang Ping nodded repeatedly.

"Old man, you dare mess with me, huh."

The old woman snorted and dialed a number.

"Junior Brother Qian, what do you mean?"

"what do you mean?"

"You said my father's trap was already set, didn't you? Why was it broken, and by you no less?"

"Uh, Senior Sister Chen, are you in Jiapigou?"

"Nonsense, come here right now and explain to me in person."

After the old woman finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Fang Ping stood to the side, his neck hunched over like a quail, not daring to utter a sound.

This woman, having held a high position for so long, has become accustomed to being bossy and domineering, making her behavior quite difficult to handle.

"Humph!"

The frost on the old woman's face had not yet faded as her gaze fell on the grave in front of her.

"Father, don't blame me. I'm just carrying on your legacy and bringing glory to our Chen family. Don't worry, I won't let the Chen family line die out..."

After the old woman finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the woods.

As they emerged from the bitter bamboo forest, Fang Ping followed behind them.

The old woman asked, "Where does that boy named Chen Yang live?"

"Who is this?"

Fang Ping paused upon hearing this.

……

-

The old house of the Chen family.

The cell phone was ringing incessantly in the bedroom, the screen displaying the caller ID: Qian Huai-ren.

It was almost noon, and Chen Yang was still working hard in the backyard.

In one morning, several more batches were ruined, but at least one batch was successfully completed.

Five pieces per batch, plus the four pieces remaining from before, make a total of nine pieces.

It guarantees that Chen Yang's spiritual cultivation will be raised to 199th grade.

The timing was so precise that, to be on the safe side, Chen Yang had no choice but to practice another round.

The series of failures caused Chen Yang to lose his temper again. Coupled with the fact that it was almost noon, the weather was hot, and he was hungry, his mood became even more irritable.

After finally calming down, they restarted the furnace. Time passed second by second, and the elixir in the furnace had already dissolved.

Chen Yang was completely focused and single-minded, using his spiritual power to support the elixir in the furnace and carry out the final step of condensing the elixir.

This final step is the most difficult; a slight mistake can ruin the elixir.

The weasel king was also nervously controlling the fire temperature, afraid that a single mistake would ruin everything and force him to start all over again.

Inside the furnace, under Chen Yang's mental manipulation, the elixir finally condensed together and then evenly divided into five portions.

Under high temperatures, moisture evaporates and polymerizes rapidly.

"Ha, alchemy? There's definitely something wrong with it."

At that moment, a voice suddenly entered Chen Yang's ears.

boom!
Chen Yang's heart trembled, and his mental energy was also disturbed by the sudden sound, causing him to shudder.

The liquid in the furnace instantly lost its balance, plummeted, and crashed against the furnace wall.

"Bah..."

The uneven heating caused a burst of scorching black smoke to rise up instantly.

destroyed!

It was just one last step away, but the pill was ruined.

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, finding it hard to accept this fact.

Immediately, he was consumed by rage.

"Who dares to mess with your mother?"

Chen Yang immediately turned red and started spewing vulgarities.
