Catching Monsters

Chapter 463 They are back

"Senior, may I use one of my own little methods to test these weapons?" Jiang Yun asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the mysterious old man replied without hesitation, "Of course..."

Jiang Yun quickly took out a yellow talisman, took a deep breath, and then solemnly recited:
"The true fire of Samadhi, flowing light for ten thousand miles. Illuminating heaven and earth, shining brightly in all directions. Rivers and seas boil, demons and monsters hide. The Southern Dipper descends with its energy, the flowing light of Samadhi."

"Refine the embryo to change its nature, refine the soul to ensure its health. All demons perish, riding the smoke to fly away. So be it!"

Instantly, Samadhi True Fire spewed from Jiang Yun's mouth, burning towards the several ashes-covered weapons around him.

Under the relentless baking of the raging Samadhi Fire, three swords quickly succumbed to its power and slowly melted into molten iron...

Only one dagger remained on the ground, and no matter how much Samadhi Fire heated it, it could not be melted.

Looking at the three swords that had been melted down, the mysterious old man's lips twitched, feeling a pang of heartache. These three weapons, if placed outside, would be considered rare and powerful divine weapons.

This kid's cultivation has now reached the second-grade True Monarch realm. How could ordinary weapons withstand the Samadhi True Fire he unleashes?

"This dagger is not bad..." the old man reminded Jiang Yun in a deep voice.

“But I’m not good with a dagger.” Jiang Yun looked away. “It’s alright, old man, no rush. I’ll try again slowly. I still have some time…”

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, the old man became anxious. If he allowed this kid to slowly roast the weapons here with the Samadhi True Fire, he would probably destroy two-thirds of them.

Seeing that Jiang Yun was about to unleash more Samadhi True Fire, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yun's shoulder: "I just remembered something. There's something you might like."

After saying that, the old man waved his hand, and from deep within the tree hollow, a whisk flew over at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, it landed in front of Jiang Yun.

The old man slowly said, "This item is called the Three Pure Ones Brush, and it is no ordinary object..."

Seeing this, Jiang Yun was not in a hurry: "Let me try it first to see if it is an ordinary object."

In an instant, the Samadhi True Fire surged forth, but the Three Pure Ones remained completely unchanged under the scorching heat of the Samadhi True Fire.

Now, Jiang Yun was satisfied. He reached out and grasped the whisk, gave it a gentle wave, and asked, "What are the specific uses of this Three Purities Whisk?"

The old man muttered to himself, "There are countless divine weapons piled up here, how could I possibly remember what this whisk is for?"

The name was just something he picked out on a whim.

Fortunately, this whisk can block the Samadhi True Fire, so we can quickly send this kid away.

"You can explore its specific effects on yourself later." The old man smiled faintly and waved his hand gently. "Also, young man, everyone who breaks through in Fanghu and reaches the Earth Immortal realm will gradually cultivate the ultimate Yang."

The ultimate expression of Yang?

what is that?
Jiang Yun was puzzled.

The old man said calmly, "As the magical power within you condenses into the ultimate Yang, the ultimate Yin within you will also emerge from your body."

"Remember, you must completely eliminate this extreme Yin energy, otherwise, the consequences will be dire."

"Go ahead, I won't see you off."

After saying that, the old man waved his hand, and Jiang Yun felt a huge suction force coming from outside the tree hole, a force that he could not resist.

Soon, he was pulled out of the tree hole and brought to the place where he had entered the tree hole.

He quickly looked around; the sky was pitch black, so it must be nighttime.

On this island, it was pitch black, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Just then, a crane's cry suddenly came from the dense forest beside them.

Jiang Yun turned his head and saw a huge crane waiting for him there.

It must have been left behind by Bai Mingfeng. Without thinking much about it, he quickly jumped onto the crane's back.

Then, the crane slowly took flight, soaring into the sky by the moonlight.

Only then did Jiang Yun have the mind to ponder some questions.

The crucial point right now is that I've been away from the capital for almost five months.

Is Xiao Yuzheng still alive?
Or perhaps Linglong and the others have already returned with the immortal herbs?
In addition, Xu Suwen and Jiang Qiaoqiao must be worried about me being away from the capital for so long.

Soon, they arrived at the cloud layer, and after entering the cloud layer, they could no longer see the moon above.

Once they passed through the clouds again, Jiang Yun saw the sunlight shining above Penglai Island.

what.

Jiang Yun felt a bit strange. It was clearly night just now, so why did it turn into daytime after passing through the clouds and returning to Penglai?
The crane flew directly towards the castle and then slowly landed in front of it.

In front of the castle, Bai Mingfeng waited expressionlessly. He looked up and watched the crane land before slowly walking over: "Not bad, it's much faster than I expected. It only took a little over four months to return from Fanghu."

"Where are Linglong and Hu Yi?" Jiang Yun asked.

"I've already sent someone to call them."

……

In a thicket behind the castle, Linglong was wielding a wooden spear, relentlessly attacking through the forest...

Opposite her stood a woman with an icy expression and an aura of coldness.

The woman held a wooden stick in her hand, constantly fending off Linglong's attacks.

"Your speed isn't slow, but your attack method is flawed."

After speaking, the woman raised her hand, and a silver-white spear instantly appeared in her hand. She flicked the spear, sending the wooden spear flying from Linglong's hand.

Then, the woman turned around and thrust her spear back, stopping precisely between Linglong's eyebrows.

If the other party were willing, they could kill Linglong in the next moment.

"It's still a bit difficult to beat you, Sister Nanyue." Linglong smiled helplessly upon seeing this.

During these four months, Linglong was not idle here. On the contrary, the spiritual energy here was extremely rich, making it very suitable for cultivation.

She knew there were probably many experts on the island, so she kept pestering Bai Mingfeng to find her a teacher.

Bai Mingfeng eventually brought her a woman named Nan Yue.

Just then, from outside the dense forest, the Blood Fox King came running over and shouted, "Lord Nan Yue, that boy named Jiang Yun is back. They need to go home."

Upon hearing the Blood Fox King's words, Nan Yue put away her spear. She glanced at Linglong and slowly said, "I've taught you everything I needed to teach you during this time. Now, I'm giving this to you."

She touched the silver spear in her hand, then tossed it to Linglong, who quickly reached out and caught it.

"Sister Nanyue, you've taught me so much these past few days..."

"Just take it, don't nag." Nan Yue then gave the Blood Fox King a cold look: "Let's go."

After spending some time with her, Linglong realized that Nan Yue was cold and aloof in both her words and actions.

Soon, Linglong and Hu Yi returned to the castle.

Unlike Linglong, who had been focusing on cultivating her skills, Hu Yi had gone to great lengths to stay here and become a mount for the immortals.

He pestered Bai Mingfeng every day.

Bai Mingfeng was so annoyed that she could only make an excuse that the immortal was not here and that the matter could only be decided when the immortal returned.

Hu Yi then thought, why can monsters like the Blood Fox King stay here to grow vegetables, but he can't?

He simply went to the vegetable garden every day to help the Blood Fox King and the others.

“Mr. Bai, why don’t you let Jiang Yun and Linglong go back? The vegetable seeds I planted a few days ago haven’t even sprouted yet.” Hu Yi glanced reluctantly in the direction of the vegetable garden.

“No, without the approval of an immortal, no one can stay in Penglai for long.” Bai Mingfeng shook his head slightly in refusal. Then, he took out a wooden box and opened it.

Inside, there grew a crystal-clear little grass.

Once the wooden box is opened, a fragrant aroma can be smelled.

Just smelling it is enough to make one feel refreshed and relaxed.

"This is?"

Bai Mingfeng said, "I asked Qitian to retrieve the Boundless Grass from Yingzhou. Even in Yingzhou, this item is extremely rare and precious."

"If an ordinary person takes it, it can extend their lifespan by ten years."

"Only ten years?" Hu Yi couldn't help but purse his lips upon hearing this. For them, monsters, lifespans were at least several hundred years.

The herb, obtained after going to great lengths to reach such a fairyland, only grants an extra ten years of life.

I didn't feel much of a natural feeling.

Bai Mingfeng slowly said, "The life and death of mortals are all preordained. Such a divine herb can extend one's life by ten years, which is already a heaven-defying thing."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun quickly reached out and took the herb, saying, "Mr. Bai, you've gone to so much trouble."

Bai Mingfeng said slowly, "Jiang Yun, you have gained a lot from this trip to the Immortal Island. Remember your promise to us to find the remaining four meteorites for us."

That's why they would help Jiang Yun.

"Yes." Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

Soon, Bai Mingfeng raised her hand and beckoned slightly, and a crane descended from the sky, landing beside the three of them.

After the three people boarded the crane's back, the crane flapped its arms and slowly took flight.

Watching the three of them ride on the back of the crane and gradually disappear into the distance.

Nan Yue then walked over slowly with her hands behind her back and said, "Mr. Bai, you invited me to Penglai and taught that woman spear techniques for four months. Do you think they can successfully find the meteorite for us?"

"Will Xiaofeng and the others be able to return after finding the meteorite?"

“Of course.” Bai Mingfeng nodded slightly, took a deep breath and said, “At least, that’s what Liu Boqing said.”

Can we trust what he says?

"I guess, probably, maybe." Bai Mingfeng was also unsure, and could only sigh slightly, her eyes full of worry.

……

Merchant ships on the sea are anchored here.

On the deck, Wen Chen waited, glancing up at the celestial island in the sky every now and then.

He has been waiting for more than four months.

During these four months, many major events occurred in Zhou, and even most of the Imperial Guards on the ship returned to the capital from Haiyan City.

Only a dozen or so Imperial Guards and a dozen or so monsters from the merchant ship remained, waiting there.

There was another woman on the deck.

Hu Meier.

When Hu Meier learned the news that Hu Yi had actually found the Immortal Island and even set foot on it...

She then came here to wait.

"Did Hu Yi really say he wanted to go to that immortal island and become a mount for the immortals?" Hu Meier asked as she approached Wen Chen.

Wen Chen said respectfully, "Miss Hu, I would never dare to speak nonsense."

"That damned bastard." Upon hearing this, Hu Meier took a deep breath, feeling a pang of reluctance towards Hu Yi.

But in her heart, she also hoped that Hu Yizhen would follow the immortal.

It's much better than them living like this, constantly on the verge of death as demons in the demon kingdom.

Who knows when, in a great battle among the demons of the demon kingdom, he might die there.

Thinking about all this, Hu Meier's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Suddenly, Wen Chen rubbed his eyes and said excitedly, "Miss Hu, look! They're back! They're back!"

On the crane, Jiang Yun held a whisk, while Linglong carried a long spear on her back.

Only Hu Yi held a few rapeseed seeds he had secretly brought back...

The crane slowly landed on the deck.

"Master!" Wen Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This disciple thought you wouldn't be able to come back."
