Time flies, and half a year passes in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yun exhaled lightly and slowly stood up.

“Diliu!”

At this moment, the spirit beast bag around the waist suddenly made a buzzing sound.

Then, bits of black light flowed out from the spirit beast bag.

The biting dark energy completely enveloped the spirit beast bag at this moment.

The whole house had become dim and eerie at some point, with black ghosts and evil spirits everywhere, and there was a faint evil aura surrounding Chen Yun.

Chen Yun waved his sleeves and a streak of light flashed by.

Suddenly, an oval cocoon-like object about ten feet in size appeared in the house. It was shiny black, with black thorns flashing on it, as if it was gestating something.

Ever since the Yinming Land swallowed up so many Yinming beasts, the Crying Soul Beast spat out almost tangible Yinming silk, which wrapped around it and turned it into a black cocoon.

I originally thought that it would take some time for the Soul-Crying Beast to complete its evolution.

But early this morning, the black cocoon in front of me changed.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a crisp clicking sound, Chen Yun's eyes moved slightly and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Inside the house, the cold and evil spirit seemed to be sucked away by some powerful force and was flying towards a corner of the stone room, where the black light cocoon was.

Then the black light in the room suddenly became dazzling, and a familiar yet unfamiliar breath suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Chen Yun waved his sleeves, dispelling the light black aura in front of him. The black cocoon that appeared in front of him had shriveled into two pieces, with nothing in between.

"call out!"

Following a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a black light appeared out of thin air at the left hand, and then it made a low humming sound, turned into a black stream of light, and pounced towards Chen Yun.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Yun did not choose to dodge. Instead, he smiled and allowed the black shadow to rush into his arms.

As a cool feeling came over him, Chen Yun immediately hugged the Soul-Crying Beast in his arms, then looked down.

I saw a tiny little monkey appear in my hand.

At this time, the Soul-Crying Beast was only the size of a fist, and its silver-white fur had turned pitch black, but there was no change in other parts of its body.

However, as Chen Yun looked at it carefully, he found that the Soul-Crying Beast at this time was quite different from before.

At the bottom of the Soul-Crying Beast's big nose, between the two nostrils, there is a tiny hole. If you look casually, you won't be able to find anything unusual.

Another strange thing about the Soul-Crying Beast is that a bloody evil ghost pattern appeared on the fur on its back, like a ghost.

The evil ghost in the pattern has a single horn on its head and three eyes. Although it is extremely light, it is lifelike and gives people a sense of oppression and ferocity at first glance.

"Is this the Soul-Crying Beast you mentioned?"

At this moment, a silver shadow flashed by, and the small Yin Yue leaped onto Chen Yun's shoulder, staring at the Soul-Crying Beast with big eyes, appearing extremely curious.

Chen Yun stretched out his right hand and stroked the Soul-Crying Beast carefully.

An attribute bar visible only to you appeared in front of you.

【Crying Soul Beast】

[Realm: Dan Formation Stage]

[Innate magical powers: Soul-absorbing divine light, absorbing the energy of corpses]

Looking at the attributes of the Soul-Crying Beast in front of him, he didn't expect that the Soul-Crying Beast's current strength has reached the Jindan stage.

"Except for some special evil ghosts at the Nascent Soul stage and the Core Formation stage ghosts, there is a buffet for the Weeping Soul Beasts."

"come back!"

Chen Yun waved his sleeves, and a ray of spiritual light instantly enveloped the Soul-Crying Beast. It turned into a light gray shadow and at this moment it directly sank into the soul beast bag.

After putting away the Soul-Crying Beast, Chen Yun walked slowly forward and pushed the door open.

After performing the Breath-Concealing Technique, Chen Yun's cultivation had reached the twelfth level of Qi training.

With this level of cultivation, it's enough for me to participate in the Sword Testing Competition.

As Chen Yun stepped into the courtyard, Song Yu, who was wearing a blue dress, came from a distance. Her beautiful eyes fell on Chen Yun and said, "You are at the twelfth level of Qi training. With the magic tools and pills I gave you, you have a chance to obtain the Dingling Pill."

Song Yu was born with spiritual roots, and had no bottlenecks before entering the Jindan stage. However, if he wanted to make further progress in his cultivation, he would need various elixirs.

"You are the disciple I recommended. You don't need to take the test. Come with me now."

As he spoke, Song Yu waved his sleeves and a blue flying sword fell in front of him.

"Come up."

Song Yu's beautiful eyes moved and fell on Chen Yun, and she spoke softly.

Seeing this, Chen Yun jumped up quickly without any hesitation.

With a flash of light, it quickly disappeared over the mountains.

……

Baiqiaoyuan, located in the western range of Yunmeng Mountain, is situated in a spectacular valley surrounded by mountains on all sides.

In the vast square in the center of the valley, thousands of disciples from Baiqiao Academy gathered, dressed in a variety of brightly colored clothes, and the whole scene seemed extremely lively.

A large number of disciples looked up at the sky impatiently, their faces full of anticipation.

On one side of the square, in front of thousands of disciples, dozens of eye-catching figures were standing quietly.

Among these people, there are seven or eight masters who have reached the Jindan stage. They are extraordinary and calm. Behind them are dozens of male and female disciples above the Foundation Establishment stage.

They are the abbots, elders and many managers of Baiqiao Academy who are responsible for various duties.

"coming!"

Suddenly, a disciple with extraordinary eyesight discovered something and shouted out excitedly.

Upon hearing the news, all the low-level monks present raised their heads and looked towards the distant sky.

I saw a dazzling light flashing in the distant sky, and then a large number of colorful lights rushed from afar and quickly approached the square.

"Those are the monks from the Ancient Sword Sect. They are coming here on their swords."

Someone immediately explained loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene became even more heated, and many people pointed at the light spots with different expressions.

"Be quiet! This is disrespectful. Do you want the other two sects to laugh at our Baiqiao Academy?"

A tall old man standing in front of the crowd shouted in a serious and cold voice.

His words echoed throughout the square like thunder, and the disciples who had lost their composure immediately shut up, and the entire square instantly returned to peace. Seeing this, the tall old man nodded with satisfaction, and his expression eased a little.

The other cultivators in the Jindan stage smiled at each other, obviously they were already accustomed to this kind of situation.

At this moment, the monks from the Ancient Sword Sect had already flown over the square.

"I didn't expect that Brother Fu and others would come out to greet us in person. Jiang feels very honored!"

Among the cultivators of the Ancient Sword Sect, a short old man in his fifties or sixties was the first to land on the ground with a smile on his face.

Beside him, there was an elegant scholar in a green robe and a beautiful woman in a white robe. The two stood side by side, looking like a pair of immortal lovers.

Afterwards, the young disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect also landed on the ground using their magic weapons.

"Brother Jiang Yun is leading the team this time, so Fu and others will naturally come out to welcome the distinguished guests in person, not to mention that legendary figures like the White Jade Twin Swords are visiting us."

The tall old man saluted to the three people with a smile on his face.

"Okay, let's stop flattering each other, or we'll be laughed at by the younger generations."

The cultivator named Jiang Yun seemed to have some complaints about Luoyun Sect, and his tone was full of sarcasm:
"But then again, the people from Luoyun Sect don't seem to have arrived yet. Could it be that they are so ashamed to come here because they have been ranked last many times?"

Hearing this, the old man named Fu showed a bitter smile on his face.

After all, their Baiqiao Academy is different from the Gujian Sect, so he did not dare to respond casually to avoid causing unnecessary disputes.

Before the old man surnamed Fu could think about how to respond, the middle-aged man in a turquoise robe behind him suddenly smiled and interrupted:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, why are you so anxious? It is said that the leader of the Luoyun Sect this time is Fairy Song from Baifeng Peak. She is a rare and peerless beauty among our three major sects!"

"Unfortunately, Fairy Song has always kept a low profile, and cultivators from our two sects rarely have the opportunity to see her. Now, we are finally lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her beauty!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun's eyes flashed with strong interest, and he nodded slightly and said:
"Could it be that Brother Shi is talking about Fairy Bai Feng? I have heard that she is extremely beautiful and I have admired her for a long time. If she is really the leader, it will be worth waiting for a while."

When the male and female monks from the Ancient Sword Sect heard this, they were surprised.

The scholar in green robe exclaimed:
"I have heard that this Fairy Bai Feng was born with a natural spiritual root. She easily formed a golden elixir in less than a hundred years. She can be said to be a rare cultivation genius in the world of cultivation."

"That's right. Even though I'm a woman, I'm also very curious about the famous Fairy Song. If I could catch a glimpse of her today, it would be a great pleasure in life!"

Although the young woman in white was plain-looking, her voice was very sweet and moving, which made people feel relaxed and happy when listening to her.

"Oh! It seems that the Luoyun Sect's team has arrived."

The old man surnamed Fu smiled slightly, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly looked up at the sky and blurted out.

Hearing this, the people around looked up and saw a huge black object slowly approaching in the eastern sky.

"What on earth is that?"

The expression of the cultivator named Jiang from the Ancient Sword Sect changed slightly, as if he had guessed what it was.

As the object got closer, everyone finally saw its true appearance - it turned out to be a huge strange bird, rushing towards them at an astonishing speed.

There were shadowy figures on the bird's back, and it seemed that a lot of monks had gathered there.

"Humph! Luoyun Sect actually showed off this strange species of Green Light Eagle. This strange bird can only change its body shape. It is just a level 5 monster!"

The monk surnamed Jiang looked at the giant bird and said with a hint of sarcasm.

The old man surnamed Fu and others seemed not to have heard these words and remained calm and composed.

However, the young disciples present had obviously never seen such a huge spiritual beast. They all gasped and exclaimed one after another.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, staring at the shocking figure of the giant bird, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

The giant bird's flying speed was incredibly fast. After flapping its wings, which were emitting green light, a few times, it flew over everyone's heads in an instant.

The huge body of the eagle with its wings spread immediately cast a large shadow, covering a part of the square. At the same time, a fishy wind blew in their faces, making the low-level disciples who were unable to stand steadily in the strong wind turn pale.

"Stop!"

A man's stern shout came from the giant bird, and then the giant eagle folded its wings and hovered steadily in the air.

At this moment, many monks on the back of the bird controlled their magic weapons and landed on the ground.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Duan from Huoyun Peak? What a rare guest!"

The old man surnamed Fu saw the old man in red shirt who was leading the group at a glance, his eyes lit up and he hurried over to greet him.

"No, I missed you very much after we parted in Yunzhou last time!"

The old man in red chuckled and said with a smile, while his eyes swept over the other person behind him.

"This is Junior Brother Yu. No need for me to introduce you, everyone knows you. But Junior Sister Song, this is the first time you've met her, right?"

"Let me introduce you to one or two."

The old man in red looked normal, pointed at Song Yu beside him and said with a smile.

"Fu Mou has heard a lot about Fairy Bai Feng in recent years. Now that I get to see her beauty, I find that her reputation is well-deserved!"

The old man surnamed Fu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the woman surnamed Song. After a flash of surprise in his eyes, he praised her.

"Brother Fu, you are too kind. I am not worthy of being called a fairy."

Song Yu showed a gentle smile on his face and replied softly.

Song Yu's quiet and charming demeanor made some low-level male cultivators nearby feel their hearts beating fast and showed a bit of obsession.

Although those high-level monks were curious, there was also a bit of enthusiasm in their eyes.

At this time, the red-shirted old man and others also saw the people from the Ancient Sword Sect and also went up to say hello.

Although the monk named Jiang seemed lukewarm, he still responded reluctantly.

Instead, the young woman in white, holding the hand of the woman surnamed Song, talked non-stop with great enthusiasm, as if they were sisters.

"This must be Fairy Song, I think we are old friends today."

The girl in white moved her red lips slightly and spoke in a tender voice.

Seeing this, Song Yu bowed and said, "I have heard of Madam Jiang's name for a long time, and now I see that she is indeed worthy of her reputation."

Watching the casual conversation between Song Yu and Madam Jiang in front of him, Chen Yun had nothing to do, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the group of participating disciples behind him.

Soon, Chen Yun's attention was attracted by Du Dong.

This person is the young master of the Demonic Thousand Illusions Sect. He pretends to be a descendant of the Du family of Xiguo and sneaks into the Luoyun Sect to participate in the sword-testing conference and win the opportunity to cleanse his eyes.

He colluded with spies from the three sects and entered the holy land to snatch the alcohol liquid in an attempt to revive the Xuantian Immortal Vine. Later, under the cover of the body possessed by Tiansha Zhenjun, he successfully snatched the alcohol liquid away.

But now that I'm here, I will naturally not let them snatch the alcohol and escape safely.

Since I'm here, he has no choice but to die. (End of this chapter)
