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

Chapter 796 The Eight-Winged Centipede is Back!
This old man is treating himself like a Japanese soldier!
"Senior, isn't this too precious?" Chen Yang politely declined.

Huanglong Daoist frowned slightly. "What, are you afraid I'll poison you?"

In fact, he gave Chen Yang this fruit as a test. He wanted to find out whether the boy knew about the jujube in Huang Can's belly.

"No no no."

Chen Yang quickly waved his hand, "I just think it's too precious..."

"Since you're not afraid, then hurry up and eat." Huanglong Daoist didn't give Chen Yang a chance to refuse.

I really can't stop eating it.

Chen Yang wasn't afraid at all. He didn't believe he couldn't refine a mere fruit. Once it entered his iron stomach, under the "Five Observations of Food Preservation Technique," what fruit pit could it possibly contain? He could even melt an iron egg.

Since you're offering it to me, I have no reason not to accept it. It's a spiritual fruit ranked sixteenth on the spiritual fruit list, so why not take it?

"Thank you very much, senior."

Chen Yang thanked him, and without saying another word, grabbed a jujube and put it in his mouth.

He intended to chew it a couple of times and then spit out the pit, but Huanglong Daoist suddenly made a move and tapped him on the chest.

Forced into a subconscious state, Chen Yang swallowed the jujube whole.

"Cough cough."

Chen Yang coughed twice, "Senior, what's wrong with you...?"

"These jujubes are best eaten with the pit on."

Huanglong Daoist said calmly, "Hurry up and circulate your energy to refine it."

"Yes."

Chen Yang didn't say much and simply sat down cross-legged on the sofa.

Huanglong Daoist didn't go into the house either; he was filled with curiosity about Chen Yang.

At such a young age, to have such cultivation is certainly important. Emei has a great reputation, famous teachers to guide you, and abundant resources. However, there are many sects with famous teachers and resources, but few can reach this level of cultivation at Chen Yang's age.

Chen Yang ignored everything else. If you're going to give me a jujube for free, why would I refuse?

Look into your nose, and let your nose reflect your heart; use your heart to refine the power of the fire date.

While the energy of the Fire Date is indeed powerful, it is not actually as much as one might imagine. The main reason it ranks sixteenth on the list of spiritual fruits is that its yield is higher than that of other spiritual fruits.

A single tree can bear at least dozens or even hundreds of fruits; if the quality isn't good enough, the quantity will make up for it.

After consuming this fruit, Chen Yang could roughly estimate that it would raise his physique by fifty grades. That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but raising it by twenty or thirty grades should be no problem.

He had heard Zhou Mingyuan say that the fire date, a spiritual fruit, was only effective the first few times it was taken. It was not advisable to eat too much of this fruit, as it would have a poor effect and would also cause fire toxins to accumulate in the body.

This is Chen Yang's first time eating jujubes, and the effect should be quite good.

He immediately activated the "Five Contemplations on Food Preservation Technique" and quickly digested the jujubes in his stomach, including the pits, until they were completely gone.

The medicinal properties are absorbed into the blood, and then transformed into vital energy that enters the meridians.

Although the medicinal power was not sustained, it was indeed quite potent. Chen Yang didn't rush to refine it; instead, he used the Taotie Gu to absorb most of the medicinal power, leaving only a small portion to replenish his dantian.

In less than ten minutes, Chen Yang had finished processing the energy within his body.

He opened his eyes and saw Huanglong Daoist standing less than two meters in front of him, staring straight at him with a complicated expression.

"Senior, what's wrong?" Chen Yang asked.

Huanglong Daoist frowned. "What kind of cultivation technique were you practicing just now?"

Just now, he felt that the trace of spiritual consciousness within Huozao's body had disappeared.

"A cultivation technique? You mean the 'Five Contemplations on Food Preservation'?" Chen Yang introduced the technique to him.

I didn't intend to erase the spiritual consciousness of this jujube. It's because that's how I cultivate. Once the pit is digested, the spiritual consciousness loses its support and naturally dissipates.

Huanglong Daoist frowned even more deeply, "Who taught you this?"

"Uncle."

Chen Yang answered crisply.

"Huang Daolin?"

"Ah."

"That kid Huang Can also knows this technique?"

"Correct."

Upon hearing Chen Yang's answer, Huanglong Daoist took a deep breath. His proud tree-cultivation method was actually ruined by such a technique.
"What's wrong, senior?" Chen Yang asked knowingly.

Huanglong Daoist shook his head, composed himself, and asked, "You have a Gu in your body? What kind of Gu?"

Just now, he also clearly felt that there was a force in Chen Yang's body that was absorbing the energy of the fire date.

That was the power of some kind of Gu worm.

"Taotie Gu".

Chen Yang answered crisply.

"Uh?"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Huanglong Daoren's old eyes.

"Aren't you an Emei disciple? How come you have Gu worms in your body?"

"Senior is too kind. Emei Wannian Temple has a complete lineage of insect magic, and I also have some expertise in insect magic."

"Oh? So your Gluttonous Gu is also from the Wannian Temple?"

"Exactly."

Chen Yang is really lying through his teeth right now.

Huanglong Daoist's expression was somewhat strange. He stretched out his right hand in front of Chen Yang and said, "Come on, try absorbing my power."

"senior?"

Chen Yang stared in astonishment at Huanglong Daoist, wondering what kind of divine operation this was.

"No nonsense."

Huanglong Daoist spoke in a commanding tone.

This old Taoist priest...

Are you trying to test my cultivation level?

Chen Yang grabbed Huanglong Daoren's wrist and, without saying a word, activated the Taotie Gu. A suction force suddenly appeared and entered Huanglong Daoren's body.

Immediately, Chen Yang felt a vast surge of energy rushing into his body as if it were free.

You're actually letting me inhale this?

Chen Yang quickly stopped. He had thought that Huanglong Daoist wanted to test his cultivation level and would definitely use his internal energy to resist him. He never expected that the absorption would be so smooth. Not only did he not feel any resistance, but he also felt that Huanglong Daoist was increasing his output.

"Why are you stopping? Keep going!"

Huanglong Daoist's voice rang out again, with the same unquestionable tone.

Chen Yang looked suspicious.

This operation...

Could it be...

Chen Yang suddenly realized that the old man was probably really poisoned by the magic potion.

Having been poisoned by the elixir, any attempt to cultivate his internal energy would cause excruciating pain in his meridians. He had consumed the Vermilion Fruit, which must have accumulated a large amount of energy within him, but he was unable to refine it and could only retain it within his body.

This old Taoist priest must be feeling really uncomfortable and wants me to help him relieve it!
That's for sure.

He just said something about some mere miracle water that couldn't do anything to him; he was probably just bragging somewhere.

With that in mind, Chen Yang no longer hesitated and increased the intensity of activating the Taotie Gu.

All the absorbed energy went into the stomach of the Gluttonous Gu. After a simple analysis, Chen Yang found that it was indeed all medicinal power that had not yet been refined.

Sure enough.

Wouldn't this just be letting myself get away with it for nothing?

I didn't eat the Vermilion Fruit, but I still benefited from its medicinal properties; the poison in the Vermilion Fruit, however, was absorbed by this old Taoist priest.

At this moment, Chen Yang looked at the old Taoist Huanglong in front of him and thought he looked like a sucker.

"Buzz!"

After five or six minutes, Huanglong Daoist's arm suddenly jerked, directly shaking Chen Yang's hand away.

The connection has been lost.

Huanglong Daoist withdrew his hand without making a sound, and his expression improved significantly.

"Senior, are you alright?" Chen Yang asked.

"Ha, this mere Taotie Gu is nothing special. What can it do to me?"

Huanglong Daoist sneered, seemingly about to act arrogantly again.

"Senior's skill is vast. Compared to you, I am but a firefly compared to the bright moon in the sky..."

Chen Yang flattered him at the opportune moment, saying that the old man liked to save face, so he would play to his taste.

At this moment, Chen Yang still felt a little disappointed. Why didn't this old man let me inhale more?

"I find you, young man, quite agreeable, so I'll grant you some good fortune..."

Huanglong Daoist said calmly, offering a reasonable explanation for his earlier actions. He was old, but not stupid. The Vermilion Fruit's energy was only enough to keep him afloat. Letting Chen Yang absorb it was merely to relieve the pressure within his body. How could he let Chen Yang absorb it continuously? That would be suffering for himself while Chen Yang reaped all the benefits.

"Thank you, senior."

Chen Yang thanked him obediently, appearing completely harmless.

"Ah."

Huanglong Daoist looked at Chen Yang, his eyes darting around as if he were thinking about something.

Hesitation, struggle!
At that moment, he set his sights on Chen Yang's Gluttonous Gu.

If I can get my hands on this Gu worm, the medicinal power accumulated in my body can be easily resolved, and I won't have to worry about wasting the medicinal power.

Once I'm cured of the poison from the elixir, the Gluttonous Gu will return the medicinal power to me, and I'll still be able to break through to the late stage of the Dao True Realm.

You wouldn't have to feel so uncomfortable right now.

In the past, given his personality, he probably would have already taken action to snatch it, but now he has reservations.

The elixir did not affect his cultivation or combat power, but it restricted his cultivation. He could not replenish the true essence he consumed, so he had to be extremely cautious when fighting others.

Furthermore, Chen Yang is a disciple of Emei, and his sect must value him highly. He must have many protective treasures on him. In addition, this kid is unorthodox and his strength is not weak. It shouldn't be difficult for me to kill this kid, but it will definitely cause a great commotion.

This is a village, but a little word got out, and when the Emei authorities came to investigate, it wasn't hard to find out that he had been here.

After all, there are many places in the village with surveillance cameras, including this kid's house. The dog at the door and the birds in the trees are all witnesses.

He can't erase all traces of his presence, and if he does, he'll find himself in a very passive position.

Although he had done many unscrupulous things when he was young, he had long since cleaned up his identity after going to Hong Kong. Now he is the founder of the Heavenly Dao Sect, a righteous and prestigious patriarch.

Is it worth it to fall out with Emei over a single Taotie Gu, and even risk being wanted by the authorities?
At this moment, Huanglong Daoist was caught in a dilemma and struggle.

Chen Yang also keenly sensed that something was wrong, and his heart jumped into his throat.

When he realized that Huanglong Daoist was asking him to use the Taotie Gu to absorb the medicinal power accumulated in his body, he roughly guessed that the old Daoist would probably covet the Taotie Gu.

Chen Yang's vigilance immediately rose. Although the old Taoist was poisoned, the Immortal Water would not restrict his cultivation. He knew he couldn't defeat him, and his only way out was to run.

The dragon scales on his body should be able to withstand two of his attacks. If he suppresses him with his primordial spirit, then he can only join forces with the Three Corpse Divine Tree and the Five Thunder True Man to resist. If all else fails, he can use the Dragon Fang Sword to slash him. He doesn't expect the Dragon Fang to kill him, but as long as he can buy some time, he can escape on the Thunderfire Eagle.

But will this old man choose to break ties with me?

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

"Haha, kid, I'm here! Open the door for grandpa..."

Just as Huanglong Daoist hesitated and struggled, and Chen Yang's nerves were on edge, a mental transmission suddenly came from outside.

The tension in Chen Yang's mind immediately eased.

The familiar voice filled him with overwhelming joy.

Eight-winged centipede!

That old fellow arrived just in time.

Huanglong Daoist frowned slightly, clearly sensing the powerful aura outside the door.

Chen Yang quickly got up, opened the door to the main room, and a dark figure flew in.

"Haha, kid, I've broken through!"

The eight-winged centipede lunged at him and immediately coiled itself around Chen Yang's shoulder.

Its enormous size, jet-black carapace, red teeth and red feet, and ferocious appearance are enough to make anyone tremble at first glance.

It deliberately showed off in front of Chen Yang, suddenly releasing its aura as a mid-stage Dao Realm cultivator.

After being in seclusion for so long, he finally digested the energy of the pear and successfully advanced to the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm.

"Old Wu, we have a guest."

With Elder Wu's arrival, Chen Yang felt more confident and suppressed his excitement, offering a word of advice.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the eight-winged centipede seemed to only then realize that there was someone else present. It turned its head to look at the Yellow Dragon Taoist sitting on the sofa and was immediately startled.

Master!

The two men clashed, creating a sense of intense confrontation.

Huanglong Daoist was also somewhat terrified when he faced the eight-winged centipede.

This centipede seems to have a good relationship with Chen Yang. Could it be a spirit insect that he keeps?

Judging from the aura emanating from him, he was clearly at the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm. Although he was slightly inferior to me, he was not far behind.

Seeing the tense standoff between the two, Chen Yang quickly said, "Senior Huanglong, this is my friend, Elder Wu, Elder Wu, and this is..."

After introducing themselves to each other, the man and the insect both calmed down.

Chen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's unknown whether Huanglong Daoist heard its telepathic message.

"It's getting late, get some rest, and remember to get up early tomorrow."

Huanglong Daoist didn't say anything more and went straight to the bedroom.

In that instant, he had already given up the idea of ​​taking down Chen Yang.

Originally, he was only worried about how to handle the aftermath after killing Chen Yang, but with the appearance of this centipede, he was no longer confident that he could take down Chen Yang.

He might be able to defeat Chen Yang and seize the Taotie Gu, but the centipede will definitely be able to escape, at which point his situation will be very passive.

There's no need to complicate things at a time like this. This kid is untouchable. Let's leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning.

At this moment, reason prevailed.

……

"You little rascal, why do you bring just anyone home?" the eight-winged centipede asked telepathically.

Chen Yang quickly made a shushing gesture, not knowing whether Huanglong Daoist would hear its telepathic message.

"What are you afraid of?"

The eight-winged centipede jumped onto the sofa. "I think this old Taoist has three white eyes, a hooked nose, and a face that's all skin and no flesh. He looks treacherous and probably isn't a good person."

"You can read faces?"

"Is this the point?"

The eight-winged centipede chuckled, "Didn't you feel that the way he looked at you didn't have any good intentions?"

Chen Yang just smiled and didn't respond to the question.

With Huanglong Daoren's strength, he might not be able to hear the Eight-Winged Centipede's telepathic communication, but he could most likely overhear Chen Yang's mental telepathic communication.

Regardless, the arrival of the eight-winged centipede gave Chen Yang confidence. As long as Huanglong Daoist wasn't stupid, he should be able to recognize the situation. Turning against each other now would not benefit either side.

With the help of the eight-winged centipede, even if Chen Yang couldn't defeat Huanglong Daoist, he would definitely be able to protect himself.

The old Taoist priest was poisoned after all, so he should save his strength and go to Raojiang to find the antidote.

Of course, even though Elder Wu had arrived, Chen Yang wasn't so arrogant as to want to turn against the old man and confront him head-on.

In the current situation, he can only guarantee that he won't lose, but he can't guarantee that he will win. Moreover, this is in a village, and he is afraid to act rashly, which is very disadvantageous for him.

The best way to handle this is to maintain a semblance of harmony, send him away without escalating the conflict, and let him confront Ding Huanchun.

Wang Yuanchao and the others are right. He can help with the conflict between Huanglong Daoist and Zhou Mingyuan, but he shouldn't get involved directly. That wouldn't do him any good and might even backfire.

"Old Wu, stop talking about others and talk about yourself. What's your situation now? Why has it taken you so long?"

"Long time? Is it alright? I broke through half a month ago, and it just took me a while to stabilize my realm. I just went to Old Huang's house, but no one was there. There was no one to share my joy with. Chen Yang, my breakthrough is a happy event, so don't you have anything to say?"

"What does that mean? Are you going to have a few tables set up for you?"

……

-

Silent all night.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Huanglong Daoist was already up.

The matter of detoxification was of utmost urgency, and Huanglong Daoist did not want to linger for even a moment longer.

He didn't have a car, and he couldn't possibly sell ham again. He hadn't even had breakfast, so he asked Chen Yang to take him to the county town.

He Yuanshan and Jiang Mingqiu were also taken away. These two were at least at the Creation Realm, and could be used as cannon fodder if necessary.

His idea was simple: go to Raojiang. He had connections there, so he could find his junior brother, Elder Qingquan, and through Elder Qingquan's connections, ask the Gu God Cult Master for the antidote.

After all, this was the territory of the Gu God Sect, and he had heard a lot about this Gu God Sect leader. Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to confront him head-on; a peaceful resolution would be best.

Chen Yang drove the car, carrying the three of them, to the county town.

Before leaving, Huanglong Daoren gave him a phone number and asked Chen Yang to help contact his disciple Qian Huairen, and ask Qian Huairen to send a car to Lingjiang County to pick him up.

Little did they know, Qian Huai-ren had already been captured by Chen Yang.

A street garden in the county town.

After seeing Huang Long and his two companions off and watching the car gradually disappear into the distance, Chen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the car, he quickly took out his phone and called Qian Huai-ren, asking him and Chen Qiao-gu to find a way to avoid the situation.

We can't let him meet with Huanglong Daoist. That old Daoist can see that He Yuanshan and the others are hypnotized, so he can naturally see that Qian Huai'ren and the others have also been affected by the pupil technique.

If these two were to meet, the old Taoist priest might just turn around and attack him.
