These materials, worth nearly 10 million spirit stones, are more than enough for Chen Yun to refine a large number of terrifying high-level puppets.

Therefore, what he purchased during his trip to the market this time were mainly some common materials commonly used in the process of refining puppets.

As for the ancient Nascent Soul-level puppet that he had always longed to refine, although he found two or three missing materials in the Qianzhu Sect in the far west, he still could not gather all of them.

There is also a special material called "Blood Phoenix Wood" which has not been harvested yet.

This rare high-level refining material is as precious as Gengjin Essence.

Although it is not extremely difficult to obtain compared to Gengjin Essence, it is still in short supply in the market.

Whether and where you can collect this material depends on luck.

Fortunately, the Luoyun Sect disciples who had received Chen Yun's instructions in advance had already begun to pay close attention to the latest developments of such materials. Once they got any clues about such materials, they would act decisively or notify him directly.

Therefore, this batch of materials will surely be gathered in the future.

However, it was obviously impossible to complete this task before entering the Demon Valley.

At this moment, Chen Yun's expression suddenly changed, his escape light stopped for a moment, and his speed slowed down significantly.

The reason was that the spiritual energy not far ahead was fluctuating abnormally violently, and the light was flickering. It was obvious that some cultivators were fighting fiercely.

Chen Yun frowned slightly, but did not show too much concern about it.

After all, in such a place where all kinds of people mix together and no one is in charge, it is very common to encounter enemies and start a fight.

Relying on Chen Yun's profound cultivation, he approached the fighting scene within hundreds of feet in an instant, but these cultivators were completely unaware and were still immersed in their own fights.

There were four men and one woman participating in the fight, and they stood in two opposing camps.

Chen Yun took a quick glance and determined that they were all in the Jindan stage, and most of them were probably in the middle Jindan stage.

However, judging by the extent of the hatred between them, it was obviously not something that could have been formed overnight.

In this battle, the two male monks had the upper hand. They not only controlled numerous magical weapons, but also continuously released various talismans.

On the other hand, the three men and women on the other side put almost all their energy into defense, so much so that they seemed quite struggling when facing the opponent's attacks.

However, Chen Yun observed that although the three men and women were temporarily at a disadvantage, it would probably take some time for the competition to determine the winner.

In addition, apart from those terrifying poisonous moths and the silver giant pen and golden book magic weapons offered by a Confucian scholar in brocade robes that caught Chen Yun's attention, the fighting methods of the other cultivators did not arouse much of his interest.

Although Chen Yun didn't know which sect these monks belonged to, he had no intention of interfering in the matter.

Just as he was about to leave quietly, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a yellow maple leaf pattern embroidered on the scholar's cuffs.

"Yellow Maple Valley?"

Chen Yun couldn't help but wonder, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Then he looked at the scholar again, and felt a strong resonance for him.

However, it was precisely because of this brief stop that the two cultivators who were in an advantageous position in the fight gradually noticed Chen Yun's erratic escape light.

When they saw the stranger who suddenly appeared, they were shocked.

The two monks who were driving the poisonous moths were surprised, and immediately used their spiritual sense to investigate, and the result surprised them.

"I don't know which senior has come here. I am a disciple of the Yuling Sect, and I would like to pay my respects to you."

The two tall and short monks quickly took back all their magic weapons, leaving only the poisonous moths to continue fighting with the three male and female monks.

They quickly flew away from the battlefield and came to a place far away from Chen Yun, where they saluted and greeted Chen Yun respectfully.

"Yuling Sect! Are you two actually cultivators from the Demon Sect?"

After hearing this, Chen Yun rose into the air without hesitation, stabilized his escape light, and revealed his original appearance.

"Are you Senior Chen from Luoyun Sect?"

The tall monk among them couldn't help but shout out immediately after seeing Chen Yun's true identity. It was obvious that he had recognized Chen Yun.

"Do you know who I am?" Chen Yun glanced at the man and asked in a flat tone.

"I once participated in the border battle and was fortunate to see Senior Chen fight bravely."

The Yuling Sect monk was filled with fear in his heart, but on the surface he responded more respectfully.

"It would be better if you knew me. Although I don't want to get involved in the affairs of you younger generations, I have a deep connection with the Yellow Maple Valley. How about you take back those spirit insects and put an end to today's fierce battle?"

Chen Yun was not being polite at all, with a gleam in his eyes, and spoke directly.

Upon hearing what Chen Yun said, the two monks looked at each other, with confusion and surprise on their faces.

"Do you two fellow Taoists find this quite difficult?"

Chen Yun's face darkened and his tone became a little stern.

"Since it is the order from the senior, the junior should obey it."

The tall monk reacted quickly. Seeing Chen Yun's expression, he immediately became alert and thought that he was really stupid. Now that this big shot has intervened in the matter, how can they hesitate? They quickly agreed.

Then he gave a wink to the other cultivator, and the two of them quickly made hand gestures and cast out magic symbols one after another, and at the same time sacrificed two spirit beast bags and raised them into the air.

In an instant, the poisonous moths that had been fighting with the three male and female monks fled in all directions, rushing into the sky like a tide, and drilled into the spirit beast bags in the air.

The three male and female monks were originally fighting fiercely with the poisonous moth and did not notice the appearance of Chen Yun and his conversation with his opponent.

However, at this moment they suddenly got out of the predicament, and naturally understood that all this had a lot to do with Chen Yun who had recently arrived here.

The three of them were extremely happy. After looking at each other, they immediately rushed towards Chen Yun.

However, at this moment, the two Yuling Sect demon cultivators, perhaps because they were afraid of Chen Yun, or because they did not want to be in the same place with the three male and female cultivators, asked Chen Yun cautiously:
"Excuse me, senior, do you have any other instructions for me to do? I will do my best."

"There is nothing else to do at the moment. You two fellow Taoists may leave."

Chen Yun seemed to have seen through their intentions and waved his hand.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Upon hearing this, the two of them seemed to have received a special pardon. They hurriedly saluted Chen Yun and then turned into two green streams of light, breaking through the air and flying away into the distance.

At this moment, three Confucian scholars in brocade robes happened to fly here.

Seeing the Yuling Sect monks fleeing in panic, the three were naturally surprised and looked at each other. Then, the middle-aged scholar who led the group stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Chen Yun and said sincerely:

"Thank you for your help, senior. We three brothers and sisters have a deep bond. Please forgive me for being so presumptuous, but may I ask your name, senior?"

The scholar was surprised to see how young Chen Yun was. He was also confused as to why the person in front of him looked so familiar, as if he had seen him before.

"Are you from Huangfeng Valley?" Chen Yun did not directly answer the other party's question, but asked back with a blank expression.

"That's right. I am Chen Qiaotian from the Huangfeng Valley. These are my sworn brothers and sisters. They are from Huadaowu. May I ask if you are acquainted with Patriarch Linghu?"

The scholar asked cautiously. He saw that Chen Yun was not a high-ranking cultivator from one of the six famous sects, but was willing to lend a helping hand. He could not help but guess that this Yuanying-stage senior might have a close relationship with Linghu Zhenren, so he was able to help him.

"Mr. Chen Qiaotian, you are indeed from the Chen family, right?"

Chen Yun's expression suddenly changed, showing an unusual emotional reaction.

"Excuse me, dear senior, have you ever known the family I come from?"

This elegant scholar was obviously startled by this question, and there was a look of great surprise and doubt in his eyes.

Chen Yun fell into deep thought, his eyes examining the face of the scholar in front of him like searchlights.

This solemn atmosphere made the other three people present feel a little uneasy.

"The Chen family is one of the three great immortal cultivation families in Huangfeng Valley. How could I not know anything about this?"

After a brief silence, Chen Yun raised this question in a calm tone.

I didn't expect that after so much time, Chen Qiaotian could no longer recognize me.

Chen Yun no longer had any intention of revealing his identity.

After a long time, he slowly lowered his head and said to Chen Qiaotian calmly:
"From your expression, you seem to have guessed my identity. Therefore, I will not explain any further."

"Good and evil are now converging here. Since you are here for the treasure of the Fallen Demon Valley, please act according to your own discretion."

As soon as Chen Yun finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the three people. A flash of light appeared on his body, and he turned into a long green rainbow and flew away into the air.

The three Confucian scholars didn't even have time to express their respect before Chen Yun disappeared without a trace.

Only three men and women were left standing there.

"Brother, who exactly is this senior? Does he have any special connection with your Chen family?"

After the female cultivator came to her senses, she immediately asked impatiently.

"Special connection? How could our Chen family be so lucky as to have any connection with such a person?"

"If my guess is correct, you must all be familiar with this senior's name."

"He was once a disciple of our Yellow Maple Valley. He escaped safely under the command of Mulan Divine Master, severely damaged Mulan Holy Bird in the border battle, and even killed the Jin Kingdom's Demon Cultivator Elder with his own hands."

"This is not unfamiliar to Huadaowu. But from what he said just now, it seems that there is some subtle connection between him and my seventh sister who passed away many years ago. This is really puzzling."

Chen Qiaotian looked at the direction where Chen Yun left and said with confusion on his face.

"What? So this is the legendary figure! As expected, he has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. It is said that according to seniority, this senior was once a fellow disciple of our six sects."

“It is unbelievable that it has reached such an amazing level now.”

The female cultivator was obviously well aware of Chen Yun's deeds. After hearing the news, she was so shocked that she cried out.

"Indeed. When this man came to our Yellow Maple Valley, I had just successfully established my foundation. After that, he participated in the Blood Trial with my eldest brother, seventh sister and others, and he soared to the sky from then on."

“However, now he has become an existence second only to the three great cultivators of Tiannan. This is truly jaw-dropping.”

Chen Qiaotian sighed and said with emotion.

"I heard that Master Linghu of Guigu once tried to persuade this senior to return to Huangfeng Valley, but he seemed unwilling to return to his homeland. Is this true?"

Another blue-robed male cultivator, out of curiosity, couldn't help but ask.

"I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly what happened. Maybe it really happened!"

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Qiaotian answered in a rather conservative manner.

Obviously, even when facing his two allied brothers and sisters, he still didn't want to talk about it too much.

Fortunately, the two male and female monks did not pursue the matter further.

The monk in blue clothes changed the subject and said:

"We are indeed lucky to have escaped this time. First of all, my eldest brother has just finished refining the golden book and silver pen magic weapon, and used it to resist most of the poisonous powder released by the poisonous moth."

"Secondly, thanks to Senior Chen's intervention, we were able to survive this crisis. I believe that as long as Big Brother can completely refine the Golden Book, we won't have to fear the Yun brothers."

"That's true. Although I've heard that the Chen family possessed the ancestral magic weapon of the Golden Book and Silver Pen, I never expected that there was actually a method to refine the same magic weapon. What my eldest brother originally used was just a flying sword."

The nun also showed great interest and said.

"In fact, the golden book and silver pen magic tools used by our Chen family disciples are just imitations of this set of magic tools."

"Although I have always wanted to refine this set of magic weapons, I have never been able to gather all the necessary materials, so I had to refine a flying sword as a substitute."

"Fortunately, after years of accumulation, we have finally succeeded in refining this set of magic weapons. I hope they can play their due role in the Demon Valley."

Chen Qiaotian smiled and explained a few words, then added seriously:

"In any case, we need to be more cautious in the future. Just as Senior Chen said just now, the cultivators who dare to covet the Fallen Demon Valley are all extraordinary people. The three of us still need to remain vigilant at all times, and it would be best if we could find other fellow disciples from the six sects to act together."

"Brother, you are absolutely right."

"Okay, let's do as Big Brother suggests."

The monk and nun expressed their agreement.

So they did not stay here any longer, and immediately turned into a long rainbow and disappeared into the distance.
