Then he pulled himself together and continued on his way.

After a few hours, he vaguely saw the outline of the Wanling Mountains.

Since we have not yet entered the interior of the mountain range, the miasma on the surface of the mountain is extremely sparse, and the green forests and tall and steep peaks are clearly visible.

Although these mountains cannot be described as magnificent and majestic, their uniqueness can be summarized in one word: "wide".

As far as the eye can see, there is only a black line stretching on both sides, with no end in sight.

Chen Yun slowed down his speed and looked around. It was quiet and there was no sign of other cultivators.

However, Chen Yun's expression remained calm. When he got closer, he slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, the incomparably powerful spiritual awareness, comparable to that of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, instantly covered an area of ​​100 miles in radius and quickly began searching.

After a moment, Chen Yun frowned slightly and suddenly opened his eyes.

With an expressionless face, he urged his escape light, and the green light cut through the sky, rushing towards a locked target.

In just a stick of incense time, the green light fell on a small hill, where an old man and a young monk were sitting and talking face to face.

The dazzling green light flashed and disappeared, and Chen Yun's figure was suspended in the air.

The two men were obviously frightened and quickly jumped up. The old man managed to keep calm, while the young monk was terrified.

Chen Yun glanced at the two men. Their cultivation was really not worth mentioning. The old man was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, while the young man was only at the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining.

It is really hard to understand why such a low-level cultivator would risk coming to the Wanling Mountains.

At this moment, the old man also used his spiritual sense to investigate Chen Yun. However, with his cultivation strength, he was unable to detect Chen Yun's true realm at all.

Feeling shocked, he immediately decided to salute. However, at this moment, Chen Yun's cold and ruthless voice sounded from above.

"No need to panic! Tell me where the nearest market is. Just point me in the direction."

Chen Yun's voice was free of any emotion, but full of irresistible majesty.

"Go four hundred miles to the west and you will reach a newly built market. Dear senior, you can go there and take a look."

Hearing this, the old man felt at ease and replied respectfully.

"Four hundred miles away? I already know that."

As the voice faded away, a green light flashed, and Chen Yun instantly disappeared from where he was.

The old man was surprised and turned his head quickly. He saw a green light already a hundred feet away. It flashed rapidly several times and then turned into a tiny point of light and disappeared at the end of his sight.

The old man and the young man beside him were all dumbfounded.

……

Four hundred miles to the west, there is indeed an extremely simple small market that was temporarily built using fossil technology.

There are few monks in the market.

Chen Yun didn't care about these situations.

After purchasing a large amount of the required materials from the raw material shop in the market, he immediately left the market and rushed into the depths of the mountains.

When he went deeper into the mountains for more than ten miles, he found that the miasma in the mountains was gradually increasing.

So he randomly chose an inconspicuous hill to land on.

Chen Yun has already mastered the skills of opening up temporary caves.

With more than ten flying swords being used simultaneously, it only took a quarter of an hour for a simple small cave to appear in the belly of the mountain.

After completion, Chen Yun carefully examined the cave and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he set up two simple protective arrays outside the cave and then stepped into the cave.

First, he released Silver Moon and allowed it to practice freely in the cave.

Then, he released the Tianjue Demon Corpse and let it continue to be buried deep in the soil in a darker secret room.

After doing all this, Chen Yun carried a large amount of materials and walked into the secret room of the cave.

Sitting upright in the center of the secret room, Chen Yun flipped his right hand slightly and took out the jade slip given to him by Dayan Divine Lord. He began to study carefully the refining methods of the two Jindan-level puppets recorded in it.

These two types of puppets are significantly different from the foundation-building giant ape that Chen Yun had previously refined.

Their respective advantages and disadvantages are extremely obvious, and are obviously intended to allow users to choose and refine according to actual needs.

The first type of puppet is in the form of a giant turtle. Its skin is extremely tough and can withstand three to five hits even from ordinary attacks by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In addition, it can also spray balls of lightning and fire from its mouth, the power of which is comparable to the full-strength attack of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage.

However, the biggest flaw of this puppet is that it is too large and moves relatively slowly.

Once attacked by a monk at close range, one would immediately become a living target and would be almost unable to put up effective resistance.

As for the second type of puppet, it appears in the form of a human-tiger monster.

Although this puppet lacks long-range attack capabilities and its defense is only average, its body is as light as a swallow and its movements are as agile as the wind.

A pair of tiger claws can release half a foot long crystal claws, enough to easily tear apart the ordinary protective shield of a Jindan cultivator. Therefore, it is more inclined to be a melee type puppet.

After understanding the characteristics of these two puppets, Chen Yun decided to refine some of these two puppets without hesitation.

In this way, we can better deal with the complex situation in the Demon Valley.

Having made up his mind, Chen Yun concentrated on studying the jade slip and devoted himself to the process of refining the puppet.

Three days and three nights passed, and Chen Yun in the secret room remained expressionless, and his body, sitting cross-legged on the ground, did not move at all.

However, when the time entered the fourth day, Chen Yun's expression changed, his lips were tightly closed, and his consciousness slowly withdrew from the jade slip.

After a brief thought and consideration, he suddenly turned his palm, a dazzling white light flashed, and the jade slip disappeared without a trace.

Then, he reached out and took off the storage bag containing materials from his waist and threw it into the air with force. In an instant, pure white light burst out from the storage bag.

Afterwards, countless glowing refining materials poured out from the bag. Rare wood materials, common iron ore, colorful crystals, and jade boxes of various sizes appeared in front of Chen Yun.

In just a moment, these materials had covered the land in front of Chen Yun, forming a large pile that was well-arranged and extremely messy.

Chen Yun then waved the storage bag in his hand slightly, put it back to his chest and put it back to his waist.

Next, he turned his gaze to the surroundings and began to carefully examine the various materials placed in front of him.

After a while, he finally fixed his eyes on a piece of wood that was extremely black in color and as thick as iron. He took a deep breath, then stretched out his finger and gently touched the wood.

The piece of iron wood rose up silently and flew slowly towards the direction where Chen Yun was.

The inner door of the secret room where Chen Yun practiced had not been opened for several months, and Yin Yue, who was accompanying Chen Yun, was always vigilantly paying attention to the environmental movements outside the cave.

I was afraid that Chen Yun would miss the best opportunity at the critical moment when heading to the Demon Valley.

As the miasma in the mountains gradually dissipated, the number of immortal cultivators around Wanling Mountain suddenly increased.

They all gathered in the area facing Yehua City, because entering the mountains from this direction would shorten the distance to the Demon Valley by nearly half compared to other directions.

Immortal cultivators from all the major sects who received the Demon Falling Order arrived here one after another. Many of them, like Chen Yun, chose to open up temporary caves here and settle down temporarily.

The magic circle that Chen Yun set up outside the cave was not a top-level restriction.

However, many powerful cultivators still discovered Chen Yun's cave, and some even tried to visit him.

However, no matter what kind of sound transmission note was used to deliver it to the restriction outside the cave, there was no response from inside the cave.

These monks thus understood that the owner of the cave did not want to receive any outside guests.

Although some cultivators were quite dissatisfied with this, they did not rush in without knowing the identity of the cave owner, so as not to make enemies for no reason.

However, it is rare for someone to refuse visitors behind closed doors like Chen Yun did.

No matter how high their opinion of themselves were, the immortal cultivators who came here were all very cautious due to the notoriety of this place as the most dangerous place in southern China.

Before entering the Demon Valley, most people began to look for companions, either in groups of three or five, or by making friends, forming teams of varying sizes.

Although having a large number of people may not necessarily confer an advantage during an expedition, cooperation among multiple people can indeed increase the possibility of survival when encountering a crisis.

Because of this understanding, even monks who usually act alone began to actively expand their interpersonal relationships and make new friends during this period.

At this moment, seeing that the miasma in the valley was about to run out, Yin Yue, who was in charge of guarding the cave, was considering whether to wake Chen Yun from the secret room, when the door of the secret room finally opened.

Chen Yun walked out of the secret room slowly, looking calm.

After several months of closed-door training, Chen Yun successfully refined more than 30 puppets, half of which were in tortoise shape and half in tiger demon form.

If Chen Yun had not harvested a large number of high-level monster spirits in the chaotic star sea, his refining work might not have been completed so smoothly.

After all, even if all the materials are complete, these powerful demon spirits are difficult to find.

When Dayan God, who was concentrating on studying puppetry in "Dongfutian", saw Chen Yun continuously taking out high-level demon souls, he couldn't help but be amazed.

He blurted out the praise "little monster" and then fell silent.

Although the remaining materials were enough to refine a few more puppets, Chen Yun estimated that time was running out and refining three or four more would not have much effect, so he decided to end his retreat and leave the secret room.

Yin Yue reported to Chen Yun some things that happened around the cave during his retreat to refine the puppet.

After listening carefully, Chen Yun just nodded slightly to show his understanding and did not make any further comments.

Then, he walked into another secret room and observed the evil demon corpse.

The demon corpse was in good condition. Chen Yun was satisfied with it and put it back into his bag. He also put Yin Yue's fox body into his sleeve and left the cave.

Chen Yun did not start flying immediately, but sat cross-legged on the hill where the cave was located. He released his spiritual sense again and slowly scanned the gathering places of various cultivators nearby and temporary caves of all sizes.

With Chen Yun's powerful spiritual awareness, even an old monster in the early Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to detect Chen Yun's spiritual awareness if he was slightly distracted.

Therefore, except for some places with stronger aura and special restrictions, Chen Yun could see all the movements within a radius of 100 miles without missing anything.

However, just a moment later, Chen Yun opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and shook his head.

He was unable to find the person he was looking for, so after a little thought, his whole body was shining with spiritual light, and he turned into a green light and rushed towards a nearby market.

Judging from the current situation, we might be able to gain something in that market.

The market town called Wanling Mountain Range, which is closest to Chen Yun's cave residence, was invested and opened by a large immortal cultivation family in Dongyu Country.

The family has been engaged in this kind of business activity for quite a long time, so even though they heard rumors that there might be treasures in the Demon Valley.

But he remained unmoved and continued to act according to his original plan, as if he didn't care at all.

Due to the surge in the number of high-level monks heading to the Wanling Mountains, the business in this market town has become extremely hot.

Some ordinary cultivators who had no intention of entering the Demon Valley also took advantage of the gradual dissipation of the miasma to gain certain benefits on the outskirts of the mountain range.

Now, in a simple herbal medicine shop in the market town, two male and female monks in white robes were negotiating with the shop owner about purchasing a certain elixir.

After a brief exchange, the two sides seemed to have reached a consensus on the transaction. The male and female monks took out a pile of spiritual stones in exchange, and then left the shop with the spiritual medicine in great joy.

"Junior Sister Yuan, we are extremely lucky this time. We have just arrived at this market and have successfully purchased this 'Golden Spirit Seed'. This spiritual medicine is what you have been searching for for a long time."

"With it, we can start refining the furnace of 'Huaxi Pills'."

The man was a young man with an elegant appearance. At this moment, he was walking on the only street in the market town and spoke to the female companion beside him with a smile on his face.

"I have to thank Senior Brother Bai for his generosity, otherwise I would have missed this rare opportunity."

The woman in white had an ordinary appearance, but her peach blossom eyes were clear and bright, revealing a hint of coquettishness.

"Junior sister's affairs are my top priority. What does this little bit of spiritual stones mean to me?"

Although the young man in white felt sad about the loss just now, he pretended to be indifferent on his face in order to win the favor of his female companion.

The woman in white smiled gently and was about to speak when she suddenly saw a figure walking towards her.

The man raised his arm and emitted a yellow light towards them. (End of this chapter)
