The gold-eating bugs that Chen Yun had carefully cultivated were still as lazy as ever in the Insect Palace.

They collectively condensed into a huge sphere that looked like a golden gem, hanging upside down above the spiritual tree that Chen Yun had specially transplanted for them.

Although he had expected it, Chen Yun still couldn't help but frowned slightly after observing it carefully.

If these gold-eating bugs can evolve again, they will hopefully reach maturity.

However, even with the catalytic effect of the neon grass, the length of their evolutionary process at this stage would probably surprise bystanders.

Chen Yun had never imagined that these gold-eating insects would be able to complete their final advancement in just a few decades.

"Yin Yue, how is the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine doing? After several months of care, you should already know whether that section of roots can still be saved."

Chen Yun withdrew his gaze from Chonggong and suddenly asked about this matter.

"This... it is really difficult for this servant to answer. It would be better for the master to check it himself."

When Yin Yue heard this, she looked hesitant.

"What's so difficult about this?" Chen Yun was quite surprised.

However, after thinking for a moment, he did not continue to ask, but ordered Yin Yue to lead the way to the medicine garden.

When he saw the exposed roots of the Xuantian Immortal Vine, a look of astonishment flashed in Chen Yun's eyes.

I saw that the thing had changed from light yellow to emerald green, but it was still bare, the same size as before, and there was no sign of sprouting or growing leaves.

"What exactly happened? Has this vine come back to life, or is it still dead?"

Chen Yun sensed the object slightly and did not detect any breath of life. It was still like a dead object, so he couldn't help but ask.

"This is exactly what I want to tell my master. At first, the use of green liquid to irrigate the rhizome of this Xuantian Immortal Vine many times did not produce any changes. Obviously, it cannot be achieved by simply ripening it."

"I had no choice but to try to inject the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid and the Alcohol Liquid into it at the same time, which changed its color."

"Originally, I thought that this thing had regained its vitality. However, except for the change in color, the roots of this fairy vine are no different from before. It is also unable to continue to grow by the green liquid."

"Therefore, I am unable to determine whether the roots of the immortal vine in front of me are alive or dead."

Yin Yue sighed and explained slowly.

"Since a reaction has already occurred, it means that it can still be saved. It's just that the right method has not yet been found."

"However, we don't have enough time to conduct more experiments now. Everything must be planned after we go to the Far West. Time is running out, and we should set off."

Chen Yun glanced at the Xuantian Immortal Vine and spoke in a flat tone.

"Are we leaving now?" Yin Yue was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"I will leave early tomorrow morning. I will say goodbye to Brother Cheng first, then seal up the cave and take all the important items with me."

"It is speculated that there should be no powerful high-level monks in the Far West, so there shouldn't be too much danger."

"It just takes a long time. And you must guarantee to return here within three years, otherwise you may miss the best opportunity to enter the Fallen Demon Valley."

Chen Yun responded firmly.

After hearing this, Yin Yue nodded slightly to show her agreement.

Not long after, the two left the medicine garden.

Chen Yun went to look for the silver-haired old man, while Yin Yue stayed in the cave and began to pack her luggage, making full preparations for the upcoming journey.

The next morning, after a night of rest, Chen Yun and Yin Yue just stepped out of the cave gate.

But he unexpectedly found a young woman with a graceful figure and beautiful face standing quietly outside the cave, staring at him silently.

"Why did you find time to come here to meet me? As your husband, didn't I give you a clear hint that I wanted you to stay in the mansion and practice peacefully?" Chen Yun asked in a firm tone with a slightly surprised look in his eyes.

"My Lord! I have been thinking about this for a long time. Now I have reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. I am afraid I can't continue to practice according to the original plan."

"As your servant, I consider it my duty to serve you, so I would like to ask to accompany you on your journey. Is that possible?"

Mu Peiling bowed her head and nodded, a faint blush on her cheeks, and she requested in a low voice.

Her gorgeous face and plump and upright figure make her look particularly charming and attractive.

Hearing the woman's request, Chen Yun was slightly stunned. He looked at Mu Peiling carefully for a moment and fell into deep thought.

Yin Yue, who was standing behind him, had a moving look in her eyes and a half-smile on her face.

"Since we have decided to go together, let's go together. I can also give you some pointers on your cultivation along the way. If you can enter the Jindan stage as soon as possible, it will be a great help to me."

Chen Yun thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for your understanding, sir!"

Mu Peiling was overjoyed when she heard this, her face filled with excitement.

Seeing this, Chen Yun smiled indifferently, then waved his sleeves, and a white light rushed out from his cuffs and turned into a square winged flying car, which was the Yufengche.

When Yin Yue saw the car appear, she smiled. Then her body swayed slightly, turned into a white light, and flew into Chen Yun's wide sleeves.

Seeing this, Mu Peiling was shocked and quickly covered her mouth with her hands, showing a surprised expression.

"I will explain the matter of Silver Moon to you in detail during the trip. Now, let's get on the flying car and set off!" Chen Yun did not pay too much attention to this matter and said calmly.

"Yes, sir!" Mu Peiling was not an ordinary woman. After being startled, she quickly regained her composure, immediately twisted her slender waist, and jumped lightly onto the flying car.

However, when she just stepped into the car, a green shadow flashed before her eyes, and Chen Yun was already standing on the car.

With a pinch of his hands, a hazy light curtain enveloped the flying car.

Then a clear cry sounded, and the wind wheel disappeared from its original position in an instant, turning into a dazzling white rainbow, flashing past and rushing straight into the sky. Not long after, the entire Luoyun Sect knew the news.

Elder Chen of our sect suffered some internal injuries during the fierce battle with the demon cultivators, so he plans to retreat for a few years to recover his strength. During this period, all visitors are not welcome.

When the other two major sects in Yunmeng Mountain heard about this, they sent envoys several times to inquire about Elder Chen's condition, but they were all evaded by the silver-haired old man with vague answers.

There were also other cultivators who had close ties with the Luoyun Sect who came to visit, but they were also rejected for the same reason.

Therefore, the news that Chen Yun, the recently famous elder of the Luoyun Sect, was seriously injured and could not get up, quickly spread throughout Xi Country.

Even sects in other countries have begun to pay attention to this matter.

The cultivators from these sects did not have too many doubts about this. After all, the demon cultivator that Chen Yun finally defeated was an elder of the Yinluo Sect of Jin State.

It is said that he possesses the strength of the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so it is reasonable for him to consume a large amount of vitality in defeating his opponent.

Even so, Chen Yun's status in the minds of many sects' cultivators is already comparable to that of the old monster Tianhen, making him a world-renowned cultivator with great supernatural powers.

As a result, the reputation of Luoyun Sect soared, and many sects began to actively establish friendly relations with it. Some independent cultivators with profound cultivation even made a special trip to Yunmeng Mountain to join Luoyun Sect.

In just a few days, Luoyun Sect actually showed the vigorous atmosphere of being the number one sect in Xi Country, making many disciples in the sect cheer and jump for joy.

Chen Yun, the mysterious elder who rarely appears in front of ordinary disciples, has unrivaled prestige in the hearts of these disciples.

The Dongyu Kingdom, located in the eastern part of the Tiannan region, is one of the few countries in the Tiannan immortal world that is not ruled by the four major forces.

This is not because the country has failed to attract the attention of major powers due to its small territory and scarce resources.

On the contrary, whether in terms of land area or the abundance of cultivation resources, Dongyu Kingdom can be ranked among the top ten countries in southern China.

However, the fundamental reason why Dongyu Kingdom has not been controlled by any force so far is its unique geographical location.

Not only is the Dongyu Kingdom far away from the Nine-Nation Alliance and lacks close ties, but it is also adjacent to the countries of the other three major forces.

This special geographical location has caused Dongyu Kingdom to be firmly sandwiched between the four major forces, making it difficult to advance or retreat.

Due to various historical reasons, there are numerous immortal cultivation sects in Dongyu, including two opposing camps of good and evil, fringe factions between good and evil, and scattered small sects.

More importantly, the local immortal cultivation organizations in Dongyu Kingdom do not have the strength to compete with other sects, so they cannot represent the entire Dongyu Kingdom in making decisions that favor one side.

In view of the above situation, the three major forces were unwilling to give up the fight for Dongyu Kingdom, so they launched a fierce struggle openly and secretly.

However, after years of competition, no substantial results have been achieved.

Finally, all parties had to compromise and reached a vague agreement: none of the three major forces should interfere in the affairs of Dongyu State, so that it could maintain its neutral position.

Despite this, many of the local sects of the three major forces have already defected to the righteous and evil paths or the Tiandao Alliance, thereby gaining the secret support of the three major forces.

It is precisely thanks to these external aids that Dongyu Kingdom has been able to barely maintain a relatively balanced situation over the past hundred years, attracting a large number of cultivators to settle down, making the country prosperous.

The Changzhou area in the northern part of Dongyu State has a basin that occupies nearly two-thirds of Changzhou's total area.

Most of the basin is covered by dense forests, while in the central area of ​​the basin stands a spectacular mountain range that is a million miles long and is revered by local residents as the "Wanling Mountains."

As to whether this mountain range really has tens of thousands of peaks, no one has conducted a detailed investigation and statistics.

However, due to the beautiful scenery and abundant reserves of various spiritual beasts and precious spiritual medicines, this place attracts a large number of immortal cultivators every few decades to collect medicines or hunt spiritual beasts.

However, although the Wanling Mountains are well-known for its rich resources, it also has a terrifying name that strikes fear into the hearts of the immortal cultivators in southern Tian - "the Land of the Fallen Demons".

In a hidden corner deep in the mountains, there is a mysterious valley known as the most dangerous place in southern China - the "Demon Valley".

Since ancient times, countless monks with great magical powers have tried to break into the valley in search of treasures. However, after tens of millions of years, this mysterious and bloody place is still shrouded in heavy fog, making people daunting.

However, the evil reputation of the Demon Valley alone is not enough to stop the cultivators from exploring this mountain range.

However, perhaps due to some influence from the Demon Valley, the Wanling Mountains have been surrounded by a thick, colorful miasma all year round since an unknown era.

This miasma is extremely poisonous and anyone who comes into contact with it will die. In addition, it contains a thick aura that is like a ban, which makes the vision blurred. Once you go deep into it, it is difficult to identify the direction and you may get lost in the vast miasma.

In such a harsh environment, even if the cultivators could survive, they would hardly have the opportunity to carry out large-scale activities of picking spiritual herbs or capturing spiritual beasts.

They can only look for some small opportunities in the outermost area where the miasma is thinner, or in other words, conduct some small-scale adventure attempts.

However, every fifty years or so, the miasma in the Wanling Mountains would temporarily dissipate. This was also the time period when the number of spatial cracks in the Demon Valley was the least and the space was most stable.

During this period, gold diggers from all over the south would seize this brief opportunity and enter the mountains in search of treasures.

There is no doubt that this majestic mountain has rich resources and treasures. Although there are abundant spiritual herbs and precious spiritual beasts here, only a few cultivators can truly gain results from them.

Even so, when a specific period of time comes, there is still an endless stream of practitioners at all stages from all over the world coming here, and the number may reach thousands.

In the area around this mountain, some merchants who rely on the support of wealthy and powerful families will build several markets of various sizes in a blink of an eye.

It can be used to purchase the spiritual herbs, spiritual beasts and other treasures brought back by the practitioners who return with their loads, and it can instantly make this place look prosperous.

Since the beginning of this year, the poisonous fog in Wanling Mountain has begun to gradually dissipate, indicating that the moment when the poisonous fog completely disappears is only about a few months away.

As the news spread, a huge influx of people poured into Kangzhou. The number was far greater than at any time in the past, and most of them were practitioners from other countries. Even high-level practitioners frequently appeared among the crowd.

This phenomenon shocked the local sects and aristocratic families. They immediately ordered their disciples not to move around freely and sent personnel to investigate the cause.

The feedback they received left these local cultivation forces dumbfounded and in disbelief.

……

On an unknown hill on the border of Changzhou, a pair of practicing partners who have reached the Golden Elixir realm are standing side by side on the top of the mountain.

The man was wearing a forged blue robe, about thirty years old, with a delicate and elegant face; the woman was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, and although she was extremely plump, her appearance was ordinary and there was nothing particularly eye-catching about her. (End of this chapter)
