"At the same time, we also hope to go to Qianzhu Sect to find a high-level method for refining mechanical puppets. The puppet refining method obtained in the previous exchange contains several unknown materials."

"Although some parts have been found from the puppet fragments, other auxiliary materials are still needed."

"In addition, the main material, the Thousand-Year Ironwood, requires a large amount of green liquid to catalyze, and it may not be completed before the trip to the Fallen Demon Valley. The materials required for the Jindan stage puppet refining method are even more unique, and it may be difficult to find traces of them in the current cultivation world."

"The Qianzhu Sect is famous for its puppetry, so perhaps they have several methods for refining Jindan-stage puppets."

"If I can obtain this kind of refining method here, it will undoubtedly help improve my strength. After all, it is difficult to achieve significant results in just a few years just by practicing techniques and cultivating magic weapons."

"Moreover, these puppets are undoubtedly the best tools for exploring the way in dangerous areas like the Fallen Demon Valley."

When Chen Yun finished speaking, there was a deep and firm light flashing in his eyes, making him look full of confidence.

"What the master said does make sense. Everything will be done according to the master's wishes." After pondering for a moment, Yin Yue replied with a charming smile. Her expression became extremely charming and attractive in an instant.

However, even though the Far West is adjacent to the South, there are still many difficulties to overcome in order to get there. Not only do you need to pass through the countries of the Righteous Alliance, you also need to cross a vast desert that stretches for tens of thousands of miles before you can get there. "

Chen Yun suddenly remembered something, frowned slightly, and stated slowly and clearly.

"Desert?" Yin Yue was stunned for a moment, her mouth slightly opened, revealing a surprised expression.

"Indeed, this desert is quite peculiar. It is said that due to some unknown reason, the entire desert is covered by extremely violent hurricanes all year round, so if we practitioners want to cross this desert, we can only choose to walk."

"Otherwise, before you fly very far, the hurricane will consume a lot of your mana and you won't be able to move forward."

"Because of this, although all the major sects in Tiannan know about the existence of the Far West, they are relatively small in size, only equivalent to the area of ​​two medium-sized countries in Tiannan, and the resources are relatively scarce."

"Besides, it is separated from Tiannan by the desert, making it inconvenient to travel there. Therefore, neither the righteous nor the evil ways, nor other sects, have ever shown any interest in it. The entire Far West has long been controlled by the Qianzhu Sect."

Chen Yun explained in detail.

"If we have to fly across the desert, won't it take a long time?"

Yin Yue frowned, revealing a worried look.

“It will take quite some time, and even if everything goes well, I estimate the entire journey will take nearly a year.”

"Therefore, before I set off for the Far West, I still have some matters to deal with before I can leave with peace of mind. During this period, Yin Yue, please help me complete this matter."

"I'll leave this item to you. Use the green liquid to infuse it at the prescribed time every day and observe whether there are any signs of recovery."

As Chen Yun spoke, he reached into his storage bag, took out a jade box, and handed it to Yin Yue.

"Xuantian Immortal Vine! Master, are you really determined to let me handle this thing?" Yin Yue identified the contents of the jade box at a glance and asked in surprise.

"Haha, if this thing cannot be successfully used for treatment, it is just a material for refining equipment, nothing special. I will take this opportunity to first deal with the matter of the Wood Spirit Infant and plant the second Yuanying. Then I will deal with the corpse."

"In the storage bag of the Yinluo Sect elder, I found a secret recipe for offering sacrifices to demon corpses. I can make full use of it."

"After all, the corpse goblin has been trapped in the belly of Yunmeng Mountain and has always been a potential threat. There are so many things to deal with, and it is really difficult for me to take care of all the matters in the cave. Naturally, I have to leave it to you to take care of it."

Chen Yun looked at Yin Yue with a smile and said leisurely.

"Okay. Since you are the master, I will obey your orders." Yin Yue bit her lip lightly, took the jade box, and nodded helplessly in agreement.

Chen Yun smiled slightly, and then talked with Yin Yue for a few more words before preparing to leave the hall. However, at this moment, Yin Yue hesitated for a moment and suddenly called out to Chen Yun.

"Master, I have had a question in my mind for a long time. Can I ask you for advice?" Yin Yue asked in a serious tone with his bright eyes flashing.

"What happened?" Chen Yun solemnly turned his head and looked at Yin Yue following the voice, with a strange look in his eyes.

"Ever since you, my lord, subdued me as the spirit of a magic weapon, you seem to have never allowed me to enhance the power of my flying sword in the form of a weapon spirit, nor have I participated in any battles as a weapon spirit. Could you tell me the reason, my lord?" Yin Yue asked calmly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Why are you suddenly interested in this matter?" Chen Yun frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised.

"It's nothing important. I just asked casually. After all, Yin Yue's true identity is the spirit of a magic weapon." Yin Yue lowered her head slightly and answered in a low voice.

"Magic weapon spirit? Do you think you are just an ordinary magic weapon spirit? Ordinary magic weapon spirits have no wisdom, so how can they ask such profound questions?"

"In fact, although summoning the spirit of a magic weapon to reveal its true form can greatly enhance the power of the magic weapon, the energy consumed by the spirit of the magic weapon itself is quite huge."

"There are even cases where some holders of magic weapons use the spirits of the magic weapons too frequently, causing the spirits of the magic weapons to dissipate on their own. As for me, the abilities you have displayed with your fox body have been of great help to me."

"Unless it is a matter of life and death, I will never transform you into a magic weapon spirit to fight. Because the loss of your cultivation is not a good thing for me."

After a brief silence, Chen Yun slowly began to explain, then turned and left the hall.

Yin Yue, who stayed in the hall, had bright eyes flickering and a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something important.

After a brief pause, she lowered her head to examine the jade box in her hand, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she walked out of the hall.

……

The next morning, Chen Yun appeared in a secret room deep in the cave, ready to practice the magical powers of the second Nascent Soul.

Since ordinary secret techniques are far from this kind of great supernatural secret techniques, Chen Yun had already started making various preparations a long time ago in order to achieve today's practice results.

At this moment, Chen Yunduan was sitting on the ground, holding a light green jade slip in his hands, as if he was concentrating on immersing his spiritual consciousness in it, exploring some mysterious knowledge.

This jade slip is exactly the precious one that records the "Xuan Mu Infant Transformation Method".

After a moment, Chen Yun withdrew his consciousness, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted a series of low and rhythmic spells. Then his body became blurry and he became motionless.

Above his head, a green light flashed, and a baby surrounded by green light was quietly floating there. This was the Nascent Soul that Chen Yun had successfully condensed after more than 200 years of hard practice.

This Nascent Soul looked stronger and more powerful than a few years ago. Its eyes were dark and bright, full of spiritual energy.

Considering that Chen Yun successfully condensed his Nascent Soul in just a few years, he could only choose to let it leave his body for a short period of time in an extremely safe environment.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, Chen Yun's Nascent Soul will become extremely fragile.

After sitting cross-legged on the furry hair on top of Chen Yun's head, Yuanying easily moved his neck to observe the environment of the four walls in the secret room.

Then a mysterious green light emerged from his body, gradually diluting into a ball of pure spiritual light floating in the air.

Then, this ball of spiritual light danced in the secret room. At first, the movements were a bit clumsy, but as time went on, the Nascent Soul seemed to have mastered the flying skills, and the speed of the blue light also increased.

In the end, there was only a ball of green light left in the entire secret room, floating and shining like a ghost, which was amazing.

After a moment, the Nascent Soul suddenly stopped flying and stayed quietly in the corner of the secret room, as if recalling something.

Its two white little hands quickly made a strange gesture, and with a flash of inspiration, the Nascent Soul instantly disappeared from its original place. However, in the next second, it reappeared above Chen Yun's head.

But at this moment, Yuanying's face looked a little pale, as if he had consumed a lot of vitality.

This is the magical power unique to the Nascent Soul—the true art of teleportation.

The Nascent Soul stretched its body and transformed into a green light again, merging into the top of Chen Yun's head and disappearing without a trace.

Chen Yun's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"It seems that after these years of careful cultivation, my Nascent Soul has finally stabilized. Although there is still a gap compared to the Nascent Souls of those old monsters, there shouldn't be too much risk in starting to cultivate the second Nascent Soul."

Chen Yun whispered to himself.

Then, he reached out and patted the storage bag, and a jade box appeared in his hand. The surface of the box was covered with various talismans.

Chen Yun waved his wide sleeves solemnly, and all the talismans fell off automatically. Then, he tapped the corner of the box lid with his finger, and the lid opened automatically, revealing a round object shining with golden light.

This is the sealed Wood Spirit Infant.

"The soul-separation technique that I performed at the beginning should have taken full effect now!" Chen Yun looked at the golden ball and muttered softly again.

Then, he thought for a while, raised his right hand, and pressed his five fingers on the golden ball.

Accompanied by a thunderous sound, after a flash of golden light, countless thin electric arcs burst out from the small ball, quickly penetrated into Chen Yun's palm, and disappeared without a trace.

In a flash, the golden ball in the box disappeared, revealing a emerald green figure only a few inches tall. This figure had delicate features and was the true form of the Zhimu Lingying.

However, at this time, the Zhimu Spirit Infant had his body filled with densely packed black needles, his eyes were closed, and he fell into a deep coma.

These black needles, like cow hair, flashed a faint green light from time to time, which looked particularly strange.

Chen Yun did not dare to take it lightly. He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the Zhimu Lingying and these black needles.

When he confirmed that everything was in line with his expectations, his expression eased slightly, and he extended an index finger, slowly and lightly tapped between the spirit baby's eyebrows.

With a "puff", just as the finger was about to touch the spirit baby, a green ball of light the size of a broad bean suddenly burst out from the fingertip, and then turned into an emerald green light, which went straight through the spirit baby's brow.

Chen Yun's fingerprints did not move at all, as steady as a mountain, as if he was using this ray of green light to explore the condition of the spirit baby's body.

After a whole meal, Chen Yun let out a long sigh, retracted his fingers, pulled back the green spiritual thread, and disappeared in an instant.

He touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised his arm, summoning a powerful force, causing the black needles inserted into the spirit baby's body to transform into hundreds of black rays of light that flew into his wide sleeves.

The spirit baby was still lying unconscious inside the jade box, with no signs of waking up.

Chen Yun seemed to have made a decision. Without any hesitation, he quickly formed a strange hand seal with his hands and released a mysterious spell towards the Zhimu Lingying.

In an instant, the spirit infant floated out from the brocade box as if it were nothing, and after rising to the height level with Chen Yun's head, its hands and feet began to move on their own, and it assumed a cross-legged sitting posture, and stayed steadily in front of Chen Yun facing him.

Chen Yun slowly closed his eyes and silently recited the magic formula in his heart. Suddenly, a green light bloomed from the top of his head, and his Nascent Soul appeared there again.

This time, Yuanying's face did not show any playfulness. Instead, his face was tense and he looked serious.

It raised its head and locked its gaze on the motionless Wood Spirit Infant opposite it.

After moving slightly, it flew to the opposite side of the Wood Spirit Infant and also sat cross-legged.

The body of the Zhimu Lingying was two inches in size, while Chen Yun's Yuanying was only an inch high. When the two stood side by side, they naturally appeared to be one big and one small, which was quite uncoordinated.

However, at this moment, Chen Yun's Nascent Soul opened its mouth slightly and uttered several obscure spells incoherently.

Then, it opened its mouth and a ball of pure green spiritual energy sprayed directly onto the face of Zhimu Lingying.

All of a sudden, the spirit baby's face trembled slightly, and he gradually opened his eyes, but his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he was a puppet.

Chen Yun's Nascent Soul, however, was as if facing a formidable enemy. Its two little hands were rapidly making hand gestures, and its eyes were wide open, staring intently into the other person's eyes without even blinking.

Suddenly, two green rays of light shot out from the eyes of the Nascent Soul and directly into the eyes of the Zhimu Lingying.

Suddenly, both of their bodies trembled, and soon afterwards, an extremely sad wailing sound came from the mouth of Zhimu Lingying.

With a loud "thump", the spirit baby actually fell straight down from mid-air and kept tumbling on the ground, as if it was experiencing endless pain and torture. (End of this chapter)
