Chapter 272 Remains

Chen Yun activated the magic spell and the golden sword quickly hit the fire bomb.

With the sharpness of the sword and the power of the ten flying swords, Chen Yun believed that he could easily defeat them even if the fire bombs were strange.

However, the situation was quite surprising.

The fire bomb shone brightly, the red light and golden light intertwined, and the golden sword was blocked and could not fall when it was halfway through. The fire toad revealed a mocking look in his eyes.

The fire bomb split, and the red light spread out, and in an instant it turned into a two-meter-long red light snake. The light snake quickly wrapped around the giant sword, causing it to stop. Chen Yun was stunned at first, and then sneered.

He clasped his hands together and lightly touched the giant sword.

The sword body flashed with golden light, and a thin electric grid emerged. Electric arcs jumped and exploded, and the light snake was forced to break away.

The giant sword took the opportunity to break free and disappeared from the spot. The next second, it appeared above the many light shields of the fire toad beast and slashed down. The blue flames instantly surged several inches.

With crackling sounds, all the light shields were frozen into ice shields and then shattered by the giant sword.

The giant sword broke through more than ten small shields and hung above the fire toad beast's head, pointing directly at its giant head. Even though the fire toad was not very intelligent, it felt fear at this moment.

In a hurry, the fire toad opened its mouth and shot out a black poisonous tongue to force back the giant sword.

At the same time, he kicked his feet and tried to jump to avoid it. However, in front of the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, the snake tongue was like an ordinary magic weapon and was easily cut off.

When the fire toad was about to jump up with a "puff", the giant sword had already cut off its head. The rest of the light shield also dissipated. The old man surnamed Lu was ecstatic when he saw this.

Nanlong Hou breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his lips, and he formed a seal with his hands, and was about to step over the water curtain to find out what was going on.

"Wait a moment."

Chen Yun spoke up, stopping Nanlong Hou from removing the technique.

"What do you mean, Brother Chen?"

Nanlong Hou was puzzled and stared into Chen Yun's eyes, his hand quietly placed on the storage bag.

Lu Weiying turned to look at Chen Yun, adjusted his steps slightly, and showed a bit of alertness.

"Nothing else. This fire toad has not completely died out. Brother Nanlong, are you being too hasty?"

Chen Yun's face was calm and he responded indifferently.

"This... the fire toad still exists!"

Nanlong Hou and the old man were both shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly looked at the situation inside the water curtain again.

Only then did they discover something strange about the fire toad corpse in the water.

The body and head that should have been separated were still shining, suspended in the air, with no sign of falling.

However, the above may not be enough, under the careful observation of Nanlong Hou and the old man surnamed Lu.

The body of the fire toad beast that had been headless was actually emitting bright red rays of light from its neck. What was even more surprising was that the head of the fire toad beast floating next to it was also shining at the wound.

Not only did the two beams of light gradually lengthen and entangle with each other, they also gradually approached each other.

"Immortal body? Does the fire toad actually possess such an innate magical power?"

Nanlong Hou, who witnessed all this, couldn't help but shout out.

The old man surnamed Lu also showed an extremely shocked expression when he was surprised.

"Immortal? Is there anything truly eternal and unchanging in this world? It's just that compared to ordinary monsters, the vitality contained in its body is more vigorous."

As someone who had read countless classics, Chen Yun naturally understood what the so-called "immortal body" meant.

Ever since he cut off the fire toad's forearm and discovered the strange phenomenon of broken limbs, he began to have doubts about this.

Therefore, when he heard that Nanlong Hou was about to open the seal, he spoke out in time to stop him.

If the fire toad were allowed to take the opportunity to revive and escape, all his previous efforts would undoubtedly be in vain.

However, at this moment, Chen Yun just sneered and pointed slightly at the giant sword that had already cut off the fire toad's head.

The giant sword spun rapidly in the air for a moment, and then it broke into two, transforming into two dazzling golden rays of light that pierced the ground in unison.

Accompanied by a flash of blue light, two crisp and pleasant sounds of "bang" and "bang" suddenly rang out.

The fire toad's head and body were first frozen by the ice flames on the sword, turning into a crystal clear ice sculpture, covering all the flickering red light inside.

What followed was that the flying sword shattered with one strike, turning into bright spots all over the ground, floating between heaven and earth.

Where the head and body were shattered, only a thumb-sized crimson round object remained. Without a doubt, this was the inner elixir of the Fire Toad Beast!
As soon as they saw the inner elixir appear, Nanlong Hou and the old man surnamed Lu looked at each other, and both saw an irrepressible emotion in each other's eyes.

As the inner elixir of an ancient beast with an "immortal body", it may have some other unpredictable magical effects.

But after realizing the supernatural power that Chen Yun had demonstrated before, and his recent reputation, the hesitation in their hearts disappeared in an instant.

Obviously, they both had a clear understanding of Chen Yun's magical power. Even if they joined forces, they would probably only be able to fight Chen Yun, and the probability of winning or losing was only 50-50.

They felt that it was not worth it to turn against each other for the sake of an unknown ancient animal's inner elixir.

After all, in this mysterious Demon Valley, opportunities are endless.

Although Chen Yun did not have the ability to see through people's minds, he could roughly guess what Nanlong Hou and the old man surnamed Lu were thinking.

During the life-and-death struggle with the fire toad, these two Nascent Soul cultivators obviously did not try their best and relied almost entirely on his own magical powers to completely destroy the beast.

Therefore, after he cut off the head of the Fire Toad with one knife, Chen Yun remained calm on the surface, but in fact he had already increased his vigilance against these two people several times.

To prevent these two from doing something extremely stupid on impulse.

Now, seeing these two people again with slightly abnormal expressions but quickly regaining their composure, Chen Yun felt relieved.

Although he was not afraid of a fierce battle with these two, it would be best if he could avoid fighting and taking risks.

Chen Yun immediately stretched out his hand and gently waved it towards the water curtain. The fiery red inner elixir shot out like an arrow and fell steadily into his palm.

After a series of clear and pleasant buzzing sounds, the two flying swords automatically decomposed into more than a dozen small swords, which turned around and flew back, disappearing into the sleeves.

Chen Yun lowered his head, staring at the deep red inner pill in his palm, and breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he had finally completed one part of the mission of entering the valley.

At this time, Nanlong Hou suddenly spoke with a smile on his face.

"We were able to successfully exterminate the fire toad this time, thanks to the help of Fellow Daoist Chen. However, should we go to the lair of this monster to find out what's going on?"

"I guess Brother Chen might also be very interested in the precious treasures on the remains."

When the old man surnamed Lu heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help feeling happy.

"That's as it should be." Chen Yun calmly put the demon pill into his bag and nodded gently. When the old man surnamed Lu heard this, the joy on his face was beyond words.

Then, the three of them worked together to retract the surrounding magic circle and rushed straight towards the cave under the giant peak.

In fact, Chen Yun had considered the strategy of releasing Yin Yue to enter the cave first to search for treasure.

However, these two monks were both cunning people and always remained highly vigilant against Chen Yun.

In addition, their magical powers are more profound than Chen Yun's. If they release the Silver Moon without any cover, it is very likely that it will not escape the keen spiritual perception of these two people.

In addition, the remains of the ancient monk seemed to hide some kind of mysterious power, which Chen Yun also had some concerns about. Therefore, after careful consideration, he gave up this idea.

The three of them turned into three bright lights and arrived at the cave entrance in the blink of an eye. They flew into the cave without hesitation.

When they saw the extremely hot lava lake, Nanlong Hou and the old man surnamed Lu were both stunned, but then they quickly adjusted their mentality and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

However, they only took a cursory look around the lake, and their sights were focused on the remains of the ancient cultivator wrapped in a green robe on the stone platform.

The expressions of both of them instantly became one of surprise!
"From the current situation, it should be the remains that Master Cangkun mentioned. My two Taoist friends, please go forward with me and explore this place together."

Nanlong Hou suppressed his previous joy and spoke slowly in a calm tone.

Chen Yun and the old man naturally would not refuse, so the three of them immediately crossed the lava lake and flew straight to the stone platform opposite.

Standing about three or four meters away from the stone platform, Chen Yun once again examined the remains on the stone platform with an interested look in his eyes.

Nanlong Hou and the old man surnamed Lu did not hesitate. After their bodies stabilized, they immediately used their spiritual sense to explore, trying to find the exact location of the treasure.

Seeing this, Chen Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, but did not express any opinion.

He had already noticed the difference in the ancient robe, so he didn't mind letting the two monks experience it for themselves.

Sure enough, when the two people's consciousness was about to cover the remains, a green light bloomed from the robes and instantly bounced the two people's consciousness back.

Nanlong Hou and the old man, who had never encountered such a situation, could not help but let out a slight exclamation of surprise.

"Oh! This robe is indeed quite curious."

Lu Weiying looked surprised and whispered to himself.

"In fact, there is nothing special about it. It is just a green silkworm robe. It is made of silk spun by ancient spiritual silkworms and has the effect of blocking the detection of cultivators' spiritual consciousness."

"Although it is a rare item in today's immortal cultivation world, it is said to have been an extremely common item in ancient times."

Nanlong Hou regained his composure and explained in a calm tone. He then stretched out his hand and made a fist.

The green robe shook and in an instant turned into a green light, separated from the remains and flew into the palm of Nanlong Hou.

As a result, the remains were completely exposed.

There was only a small, black leather pocket wrapped around the bone of his waist.

"There really is a storage bag!"

The old man surnamed Lu's face was shining with joy. And Nanlong Hou also seemed quite excited.

He casually threw the green robe in his hand to the ground aside and stared at the black storage bag without blinking.

Chen Yun, who had originally looked calm, changed his expression slightly when he heard the sound of the green robe falling to the ground, but soon returned to normal.

"If you two Daoists trust this, then I will personally go forward and check what is hidden in the bag. What do you think?"

When the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Nanlong Hou smiled at Chen Yun and the old man and suddenly put forward his suggestion.

"Of course it's possible. Then you can go and check it out yourself."

Chen Yun glanced at the leather storage bag and replied with a smile.

After a little hesitation, the monk named Lu finally nodded and agreed.

Then, Nanlong Hou took a few steps forward and carefully lifted up the storage bag.

Then he used his spiritual sense to roughly observe the interior, but his face did not show any emotion.

"Nanlong Hou, may I ask what exactly is in this storage bag?"

"Could you please pour it all out for us to see?" Lu Weiying asked when he saw this situation.

When Nanlong Hou heard this, he nodded slightly, then used one hand to flip the opening of the storage bag downwards, and a white breath instantly spread out.

Following closely behind were all kinds of items piled on the ground.

"What a strange thing this is!" When the old man saw the scene clearly, his face revealed an expression of shock.

Most of the objects in front of me were pieces of red iron that shone with red light. They were hot and looked extremely strange. In addition, there were a few objects that were particularly eye-catching.

A flawless white jade box, a small purple mirror, a small yellow sword, a set of dark green flying needles, and two shiny black medicine bottles.

Seeing these items, Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression changed.

Except for the jade box and the medicine bottle, the other items are obviously extraordinary ancient magic weapons.

As for the items contained in the jade box and medicine bottle, they undoubtedly aroused Chen Yun's strong interest.

Because just now, he used his spiritual sense to investigate it, but found that he could not force his way into the jade box and medicine bottle.

"I really don't understand. I have traveled all over the world and have never seen such material."

"But according to my speculation, these iron blocks may be the legendary 'spiritual materials'."

"This is a special material used by ancient monks to refine ancient magic weapons."

"It is said that the refining method is quite unique. Usually it requires the use of some precious materials and the power of heaven and earth to merge into a spiritual material."

"These iron blocks must have been brought here by that ancient monk in order to refine a powerful ancient magic weapon with fire attribute."

After pondering for a moment, Nanlong Hou revealed the origins of these iron blocks to everyone as if they were his own treasures.

"Spiritual material..."

When Chen Yun heard the name, he immediately recalled that he had read related content in an ancient book.

After careful consideration, he came to the same conclusion as Nanlong Hou.

Indeed, this is an extremely rare material for refining ancient magic weapons.

It seems that the ancient magic weapons made with this material are so powerful that they are shocking. (End of this chapter)
