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

Chapter 935 The wondrous use of the Mountain Lord Seal, the mysterious Ping Tian Sect Master!

Around noon, the grandfather and grandson presented the cultivation manual to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang glanced at it briefly, but focused on the "Heavenly Sword Technique".

Du Wencai was hypnotized by his double pupil technique, so it was impossible for him to fake his cultivation method.

As for Du Fengchun, even if he had the desire, he didn't have the courage.

After all, swordsmanship is not the same as mental cultivation; it is much more difficult to fake, especially in front of Chen Yang, a swordsman with the third realm of sword intent.

Du Fengchun is only at the third level of sword intent. If Chen Yang were to see through his disguise, he would be in deep trouble.

In the hall.

"Owner……"

Du Fengchun nervously sat down next to Chen Yang, as if he had something to say.

"From now on, call me by my name in front of outsiders."

Chen Yang flipped through the pages of the "Heavenly Sword Technique" without even looking up.

This old geezer keeps calling me "master," and anyone who doesn't know him might think he has some kind of weird fetish.

Du Fengchun nodded repeatedly, then said sheepishly, "This Tongtian Sword Technique is a unique skill of the Chongtian Temple. It is said to be of the same lineage as the Qingshen Sword Technique of Qingshen Mountain, with a deep connection and many similarities. I see that you, Master, have a profound understanding of the Qingshen Sword Technique, so I imagine that this Tongtian Sword Technique will not be difficult for you..."

"Say what you want to say directly, don't beat around the bush."

Chen Yang interrupted him, still without turning to look at him.

Having his thoughts exposed by Chen Yang, Du Fengchun chuckled dryly and quickly said, "That's right, Master, the method you left in my body, is it really the Life and Death Curse Seal of the Great Wheel Temple?"

Even now, he still harbors a sliver of hope.

"Your skin's itching, want to try again?"

"No no no."

Du Fengchun quickly waved his hand. Just thinking about that excruciating pain made him shudder, and he dared not try it again.

"What I meant to say was, Master, if there's anything else you need me to do, I'll go through fire and water for you without hesitation," Du Fengchun quickly declared his loyalty.

"Ah, that's right, a wise person knows when to yield."

Chen Yang chuckled and turned to give him an admiring look. "If you had been this sensible earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much."

Du Fengchun gave a wry smile, "Master is right. Human nature is inherently base. How can one know the immensity of heaven and earth without experiencing hardship?"

"The words are rough but the reasoning is not rough."

Chen Yang smiled and agreed with Du Fengchun's statement.

Du Fengchun lowered his stance, "Master, I wonder what we should do next?"

"You guys?"

Chen Yang closed the manual of the Tongtian Sword Technique and said to Du Fengchun, "You said before that you wanted to join the Pingtian Sect, right?"

Du Fengchun's expression tightened, and he quickly said, "Master, please forgive me, I shouldn't have had such thoughts..."

"No!"

Chen Yang shook his head.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Du Fengchun was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Chen Yang meant.

Chen Yang calmly looked at him, "After you return to Kunlun, find a way to join the Pingtian Sect..."

"Ah, this..."

Du Fengchun's expression changed slightly; he was a little bewildered.

"What, is it difficult?" Chen Yang noticed his reaction, and his eyebrows rose and fell accordingly.

Du Fengchun smiled bitterly, "I came to Shu this time to bring back Fellow Daoist Rat as a stepping stone to join the Pingtian Sect, but now, not only has Fellow Daoist Rat run away, but Nu Shisan is also dead..."

“Nu Shisan was one of the thirteen Heavenly Slave Generals of the Pingtian Sect. The sect leader sent him with me to supervise my mission. If he were alive, it would be fine, but now that he's dead, I don't know how I'll explain myself when I get back. Forget about joining the Pingtian Sect; I might even be held accountable by the sect leader and die without a proper burial…”

Du Fengchun knelt down in front of Chen Yang with a thud, "Master, spare my life!"

Chen Yang's face darkened.

"That slave thirteen is more troublesome if he doesn't die, so there's nothing to regret."

Given Nu Shisan's loyalty to the Pingtian Sect Master, even if Chen Yang spared his life, he wouldn't dare say he could control him; in fact, he would become a huge hidden danger.

Therefore, this person must die for Chen Yang.

"As for you, if you can't even handle this simple matter, what use are you?"

Chen Yang glanced at Du Fengchun, his eyes as cold as two knives.

Du Fengchun's breath hitched, and he quickly said, "Master, I... I'll find a way. I can find a way to pin the death of Slave Thirteen on someone else. Although this matter didn't work out, I can find other ways to get the sect leader to give me another chance..."

"Who are you going to pin this on?" Chen Yang looked at him with a strange expression.

Du Fengchun thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Rat."

"Ah."

Chen Yang shook his head slightly, "That makes sense, but we still need to consider this further. In the meantime, let's figure out how to deal with that rat first..."

Du Fengchun quickly said, "I tried to communicate with it just now. I could feel its mental fluctuations, but it didn't respond to me. I didn't dare to forcefully try to probe through the mental imprint of the Mountain Demon Seal..."

"Ah."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, "That beast went to the Golden Summit of Mount Emei last night, attempting to steal the Samantabhadra Relic. Fortunately, it was discovered by Master Xuantong, but it still managed to escape in the end..."

Early in the morning, Chen Yang received a call from Wang Yuanchao, who had already told him what had happened the night before.

Xuan Tong said that the rat had learned the Golden Body Technique, and guessed that it must have fought with Chen Yang, so he asked Wang Yuanchao and Chen Yang to confirm the situation.

Chen Yang also gave Wang Yuanchao a brief report on what had happened last night.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Du Fengchun's face twitched slightly. "This fellow Daoist Rat is truly audacious."

“It certainly has that ability. After two major battles last night, this beast must have been seriously injured. It’s probably hiding somewhere to recover and won’t necessarily pay any attention to you…” Chen Yang said.

At this moment, Du Wencai said, "Master, since you have dealt with this monster before, you should be very familiar with it. Does it have any lair or hideout, or any place it might be hiding?"

Du Fengchun frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "This is really hard to find. With its cultivation level, it can hide anywhere. This beast is always cautious. If I had to name a possible place, Sipan Mountain would be one. Also, Chongtian Temple on Er'e Mountain, although it has been abandoned, is still the place where it has lived for hundreds of years. It might even be hiding directly on Da'e Mountain..."

……

Chen Yang rubbed his temples, and a possible place came to mind.

"Back then, Zhao Shanjun left behind more than just this one spirit pet, right?" Chen Yang asked.

Du Fengchun shook his head. "It is said that there is another mountain serpent, which is also very powerful, but because of its evil nature, it is not as good at disguise as this ancestor. Before the ancestor passed away, he took it to the tomb. However, I don't know where the ancestor's tomb is. There are rumors that it is in Mount Si'e, but it seems that no one has ever found it..."

Chen Yang said, "Do you think this mouse and that mountain snake might be on good terms?"

Du Fengchun didn't expect Chen Yang to ask that question.

He paused for a moment, then said, "People say snakes and rats are from the same nest. Although these two are natural enemies, things that have gained sentience can be really good when they get along. Besides, they both served under the patriarch, so their relationship must be quite good..."

At this point, Du Fengchun seemed to have thought of something and said to Chen Yang, "Master, are you saying that Fellow Daoist Rat might go to find that mountain snake?"

Chen Yang nodded.

It's not impossible.

This beast was bullied, shouldn't he seek help?

Having lived to such an old age, if it knew the location of Zhao Quanzhen's tomb, it might actually go looking for that mountain snake.

Although the serpent was dead, the rat didn't know that.

"That's possible, but..."

Du Fengchun paused, looking at Chen Yang with a puzzled expression, "Master, do you know where our sect's founder's tomb is located?"

Chen Yang nodded slightly, "Not only do I know, I've also been there. I've already killed that mountain snake!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Du Fengchun was stunned for several seconds.

killed?
Did he kill that legendary ferocious creature?
My first reaction was that Chen Yang was bragging, but then I thought about his performance on Sipan Mountain last night, and it suddenly made sense.

Even the big black rat couldn't get away with anything from Chen Yang, so how strong could that mountain serpent be, no matter how ferocious? It wasn't impossible for it to be wiped out. Chen Yang ignored Du Fengchun's shock. "These next two days, try to contact it from time to time. If it responds, that's best. You released it, so tricking it into showing itself shouldn't be difficult. But if it doesn't respond, then mark out some suspicious locations, and you and your grandson can go find them yourselves..."

"Yes!"

Du Fengchun reluctantly agreed. This was undoubtedly playing with fire for him. It wouldn't be difficult for him to deceive that beast, since the beast had promised to do three things for him. He had a relationship with that big black rat, and he was the one who released it. As long as he could contact it, it would naturally have a way to trick him into showing himself.

However, if Chen Yang is no match for him, that beast will definitely not spare the grandfather and grandson.

At this moment, Chen Yang took out the Mountain Lord Seal and said, "You two, each of you leave a spiritual imprint on this seal for me, so that we can contact each other in the future."

"This is……"

Du Fengchun's gaze fell on the seal, and his expression changed slightly. "The Mountain Lord's Seal?"

They do have a good eye.

Chen Yang nodded. "To be precise, it is the Seal of the Mountain Lord of Shu Mountain."

Du Fengchun looked surprised. "The Mountain Lord Seal of Shushan? As far as I know, the Mountain Lord Seal of Shushan has been lost for hundreds or thousands of years. It disappeared with the sixteenth Mountain Lord, Tan Jue. After that, the two Mountain Lords of Shushan had no seal to use. Only an imperial edict iron certificate has been passed down as a token of the Mountain Lord. Where did you get this?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Chen Yang had no intention of explaining to him.

"Yes."

Du Fengchun realized he had overstepped his bounds and quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "I just wanted to say that the Mountain Lord Seal is the supreme magical artifact of the Mountain God lineage, possessing many wondrous uses. I've heard that this seal not only contains a space for storage, but also has the ability to subdue mountain and wild gods, especially some wild gods who have been officially appointed. The Mountain Lord can use the Mountain Lord Seal to suppress them..."

“If you had taken out this seal last night, you might have had a chance to subdue Fellow Daoist Rat. After all, it claims to be the mountain god of Sipan Mountain, appointed by the Mountain Lord. If that's true, the Mountain Lord's seal would most likely have suppressed its arrogance…”

"Is it?"

Chen Yang looked at the seal in his hand. Tan Jue had given it to him, and apart from knowing that there was a small space inside, he had no idea what other uses it had.

"You know a lot about this?"

I wouldn't say I understand it.

Du Fengchun said, "I have never seen the Shushan Mountain Lord Seal, but when I was in Kunlun, I saw the Tianshan Mountain Lord Seal in the hands of the Pingtian Sect Master, and it was exactly the same as the seal in your hand, Master..."

"Although this seal looks ordinary, its power is truly immense. I personally witnessed the sect leader use this seal to conjure a golden phantom several feet long, suppressing evil spirits with earth-shattering force..."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "How do you use it?"

He had tried various methods to make the seal recognize him as its owner, but none of them worked. The only thing he could use was a small space within it.

This thing is a symbol of the mountain king's status, so how could it be so simple?
Now that Du Fengchun has said that, Chen Yang feels even more that it is not simple.

He was eager to develop new functions for the seal.

Otherwise, if this seal can only store items, it would be of little use to him.

Du Fengchun said, "The Mountain Lord Seal is the seal of the Mountain Lord. Without exception, all the Mountain Lords throughout history have been experts at the Celestial Realm. As far as I know, ordinary people cannot activate the Mountain Lord Seal. To activate the Mountain Lord Seal, one must use immortal spiritual energy..."

"Immortal spiritual energy?"

Chen Yang was slightly taken aback.

No wonder.

No wonder I couldn't activate this seal no matter what I tried; it turns out that this seal requires the power of immortal energy to activate.

The aura of immortals is the true energy cultivated by powerful beings at the Celestial Realm.

Chen Yang didn't know the specifics, but some time ago, Xu Qingchuan had given him a wisp of immortal energy.

Of course, this thing is very precious, and there's only one strand, so he couldn't possibly use it for Shan Junyin's experiments.

He had another use for this wisp of immortal energy. His half-immortal body was about to be perfected, and after consolidation, he could enter the next stage of cultivating the celestial body.

To cultivate an immortal body through the Marrow Cleansing Classic, there is an extremely demanding condition: one must possess an immortal spiritual body as a guide.

Without this, it's impossible to cultivate to the level of an immortal.

"Immortal spiritual energy?"

Chen Yang pondered for a moment, which meant that this seal required a Celestial Realm expert to activate.

Reasonable.

But now that the Heavenly Path has been severed, there are no more Celestial Realm experts in the world, so who can still use this seal?

Perhaps, once I reach the Dao True Realm, I can try cultivating the Xuanwu Heart Sutra.

According to the Xuanwu Stone Spirit, the Xuanwu True Essence cultivated through the Xuanwu Heart Sutra is in no way inferior to the Immortal Spirit Qi. If there is an opportunity to break through to the Celestial Realm in the future, the Xuanwu True Essence will undergo further transformation and can condense energy at a higher level than the Immortal Spirit Qi.

He no longer aspires to break through to the Celestial Realm. As long as he can cultivate the Xuanwu True Essence, which is comparable to the Immortal Spirit Qi, he might be able to use it to activate this seal at that time.

With this in mind, Chen Yang felt relieved and allowed the grandfather and grandson to each leave their spiritual imprints on the Shushan Mountain Lord Seal.

This is what makes the Mountain Lord Seal superior to the Mountain Demon Seal. The Mountain Demon Seal cannot leave a spiritual imprint of a human cultivator, but the Mountain Lord Seal can.

Through the marks left by the two, even though they are thousands of miles apart, Chen Yang can remotely sense their presence.

If Chen Yang wanted to, he could even spy on their lives and directly use his primordial spirit energy to activate the life and death curse seals within them at any time, controlling their life and death.

The key issue is that the Mountain King Seal is in Chen Yang's hands, and they simply cannot erase the mark.

In this way, Chen Yang truly had them completely under his control.

Du Fengchun was naturally aware of this, but as someone under someone else's roof, what could he do but let them do as they pleased?

The situation is becoming increasingly difficult. Once the mental imprint is established, it's time to give up illusions.

"You said the Sect Master of Pingtian Sect can activate the Heavenly Mountain Lord Seal, so this person shouldn't have reached the Celestial Realm, right?" Chen Yang asked abruptly.

Du Fengchun said, "Of course, he couldn't be at the Celestial Realm, but this person's skill is unfathomable. I don't know much about the Pingtian Sect; I've only been there a few times, and I've only met the sect leader halfway. This person gives me an overwhelming sense of oppression. In front of him, I feel like a defenseless, babbling infant, as if he could crush me with a single finger..."

"Half noodles?"

Chen Yang looked at him strangely.

Du Fengchun nodded and said, "Yes, half of his face. He wore a golden mask, only revealing half of his face. He spoke to me through telepathy. I couldn't even tell if he was male or female, old or young..."

"So mysterious?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's gaze narrowed slightly.

Regardless of this person's identity, since they can activate the Mountain Lord Seal, they must have either cultivated immortal spiritual energy or cultivated true essence at the same level as immortal spiritual energy.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

“In Kunlun, the Pingtian Sect is extremely mysterious, and very few people can come into contact with it, let alone the sect leader,” Du Fengchun said.

Chen Yang nodded slightly and said nothing more.

……

In the afternoon, Huang Can returned from the county town.

They brought back all the medicinal materials needed to make the Spirit Nourishing Pill, as well as the alchemy materials that Chen Yang needed.

Xue Kaiqi was very efficient. As soon as Chen Yang mentioned his needs, she provided him with all the necessary medicinal herbs within a few days.

Huang Can took the medicinal herbs off the car and brought them into the house. Together with Chen Yang, they sorted and put them away, and Chen Yang counted them one by one.

Although he wasn't worried that the Xue family would pass off inferior goods as superior ones, he was afraid of making a mistake.

Alchemy is a delicate art that cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. If the medicinal materials are wrong, then the whole process is wrong from the source, and there is no point in talking about alchemy.
Yin-Yang Lingzhi, Rejuvenating Herb...

With the Three Corpse Divine Tree present, testing medicinal herbs becomes much simpler.

Huang Can said, "Sister Qi said there's another medicine, called Tianxing powder, which is not easy to find. However, she has already made some progress, and it should arrive in a few days."

Chen Yang nodded slightly.

The medicinal herbs he requested this time were mainly for refining two kinds of pills.

The first type is Qiling Powder.

Tianxing powder is also the main ingredient in refining Qiling powder.

This object is from outer space. Inside some meteorites that fall from the sky, a special crystal forms under extreme high temperatures. After this crystal is removed and oxidized, it turns into powder.

This powder has a strong stimulating effect on mental energy.

Its scientific name is Tianxing powder.
