Tao Zhenren only used four days to refine Guo Yuan Jun, but it took him half a month to suppress the Heavenly Cauldron's fire and disperse the heat inside.
When he took out the refined items, he found that the Heavenly Demon's body had already turned into eight dark armor pieces that looked like gold and wood, clanking when they collided with each other.
The three Natal Pearls did not disappear with the fire, but the blood essence inside them had already dried up, leaving only the hard shell.
Tao Zhenren pointed at the armor pieces and said, "This item was originally the Heavenly Demon's body, its quality is excellent, and now that it has been refined by the earth fire, it is even more rare. Fellow Daoist Zhang, please keep it well."
Zhang Yan waved his sleeves and separated four armor pieces, sending them to Tao Zhenren, and said sincerely, "If not for Daoist Master's help, how could we subdue this ten thousand years old Heavenly Demon so smoothly, not to mention that when we took that killing treasure, we also received Daoist Master's help. In the end, I still owe you, please accept this item."
Tao Zhenren thought for a moment, sighed slightly, and took one of the armor pieces, then pushed the rest back, and said seriously, "Thank you for your kindness, I will take one."
Zhang Yan rolled up his sleeves, kept all the armor pieces, and said freely, "Alright, but next time, I will have to trouble Daoist Master."
Tao Zhenren smiled, and said, "That is exactly what I want, but I am afraid that at that time, Daoist Master will look down on I's insignificant means."
Zhang Yan also smiled, he took out the Natal Pearl that he brought back from the outer space, and asked, "This pearl can absorb Jun Yang essence, I wonder if it can be used again?"
Compared to the Star Stone, the Jun Yang essence in this pearl was not very pure, but it was still essence, if he could take it, it would undoubtedly bring great benefits to him and his disciples.
Tao Zhenren flicked the pearl with his finger, and said, "Daoist Master, can you see that this pearl is much smaller than the other Natal Pearls?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "At least by half."
Tao Zhenren smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist is not a Sky Demon, so you can't use your soul to guide it. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to move this item beyond the heavens. Even if we ask the elders in the sect to cast a spell and forcefully send it out, we won't be able to absorb any of Jun Yang's Spiritual Essence. "
Zhang Yan was just asking. He didn't have much hope, so when he heard that it didn't work, he put it away.
Tao Zhenren said, "But it can be used by Sky Demons to avoid calamities. It is indestructible. In particular, the five Origin Beads in Fellow Daoist's hand contain the essence blood of the Sky Demon. They can be considered rare treasures in the world. Perhaps they can be refined into a sharp weapon. It's just that after this Earth Furnace is used, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for another ten years. Only then can it be done. "
Zhang Yan also understood that even though he managed to refine Guo Yuan Jun, half of the Qing Ming Wood had turned into ashes. He had to think of a way to replace them.
However, it would take at least ten years to refine the Earth Furnace. If it took longer, it could take up to a hundred years. During this period, the Earth Furnace couldn't be used anymore.
At this moment, someone in the sky said, "There's no need to wait. I can lend Martial Nephew a hand. Before the Fire of Earth subsides, we can lure it up here."
As the voice was heard, a young man with a bamboo hat and a fishing rod on his shoulder appeared in the sky. He stepped on the clear air and descended from the clouds.
Tao Zhenren was not surprised. He smiled and greeted, "Zhenren Shen, Qingyu Tao Zhenhong greets you."
Shen Baishuang nodded at him and returned the greeting. He said, "Sect Leader Tao, please forgive me. I have a few words with Martial Nephew Zhang. I hope you can leave."
Although Tao Zhenren had broken through the door and established his own sect, he was still far from being comparable to a colossus like Qincang. Moreover, Shen Baishuang was the disciple of Zhuo Yuming, the Ascended Enlightened Being, so he didn't show any displeasure. He cupped his hands and said, "I've been out for a long time. I miss the mountain gate and it's time for me to return. Zhenren Shen, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I shall take my leave now. "
Zhang Yan knew that the Clear Feather Sect and the Carp Tribe were neighbors, so it was inconvenient for them to stay outside for long. Therefore, he did not try to persuade them to stay. He raised his hands in a bow and said, "Take care, Perfected One."
Tao Zhenren waved his Ruyi, and a green light flew from the sky into his sleeve. He then threw out a talisman, which turned into a green Luan when it landed on the ground. He stepped on it and just as he sat down, he suddenly turned around and said, "Zhenren Shen, Fellow Daoist Zhang is here to find a few spiritual herbs to cultivate his Yuanying Dharmakaya. Previously, Zhongtai Sect was indebted to him, so they contributed a lot. I'm afraid you'll delay his cultivation by dispersing Zheng Weixing's Dharmakaya."
Shen Baishuang replied in a clear voice, "Thank you for telling me. Zhang Yan is Qincang's disciple, so I'll make plans for him."
Tao Zhenren smiled and cupped his hands. He said, "Farewell." The green Luan chirped and flapped its wings, soaring into the sky.
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. He knew that Tao Zhenren had purposely spoken up to help him.
Shen Baishuang dispersing Zheng Weixing's Dharmakaya, Hanyuan Sect and Zhongtai Sect were not like fire and water, but they could no longer maintain their friendship. Moreover, they could no longer be on good terms with the three sects in the south. As such, he had to think of another way to find the herbs.
If he told Shen Baishuang about this, it would seem like he was complaining that he was meddling. However, since Tao Zhenren pointed it out, Shen Baishuang, as his elder, would not ignore it and would definitely think of a way to help him.
Shen Baishuang looked at Zhang Yan and said with a gentle expression, "Nephew Zhang, this time you did not rely on the sect to refine the Sky Demon. You did well. If Sect Leader Shixiong knew about this, he would definitely be happy."
Zhang Yan had been talking with Tao Zhenren for the past few days, and he had vaguely guessed that there were people from Dongtian who came here. It was not hard to predict. If Guo Yuan Jun's prohibition was broken, Sect Leader Qin Mobai would definitely notice it. After all, this place was not like the prohibition in Donghua Continent, so he would most likely send people to investigate. To prevent any mistakes, he said, "A few days ago, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky. I believe it was Uncle-Master who made a move?"
Shen Baishuang said lightly, "That's right. This person seems to have evil intentions. How can Qincang's disciple be bullied by others?"
When he first saw Zheng Weixing's strange behavior, he just looked on coldly and didn't want to do anything. After all, people in the Heavenly Abode rarely fought with each other unless they were mortal enemies or had no way to retreat.
But later, Gan Shouting and Hang Yuyan came. Once the three of them joined forces, the threat would definitely increase greatly. Thus, he decisively struck Zheng Weixing down. This was also to deter the two from South Continent.
After that, as he expected, Gan Shouting and Hang Yuyan saw that the situation was not right, so they retreated and did not make any moves to the north.
Zhang Yan understood that the disciples of Qincang that Shen Baishuang mentioned were actually the top ten disciples, including himself.
In his eyes, only these 10 people could be considered as disciples of the sect. If an ordinary junior was here, he probably wouldn't even spare them a glance, let alone stand up for them.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and his heart moved. He deliberately asked, "Uncle-Master, since you made a move against the cultivators from this continent, how is it compared to us, Qincang?"
Shen Baishuang said plainly, "How can the achievements of others be compared to us, Qincang?"
Then, he looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Now, you just need to cultivate patiently. In the future, you will understand."
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. He took a step back and bowed, "Thank you for your guidance, Uncle-Master."
Now he was sure that the reason Sect Leader Qin gave him this question was to test him, and it was very likely that it was related to the position of the Heavenly Passage. Shen Baishuang also saw through his intentions, and thus gave him a vague reply.
Shen Baishuang looked at the Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron and said, "This Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron goes straight to the Earth Lung. There are not many places like this in Donghua Continent. It is a pity that your cultivation is still shallow and cannot draw the True Fire of Kunyuan up. I traveled to Dongsheng hundreds of years ago. Now that I have returned, I will stay in your cave for a few days and help you take care of this place."
Zhang Yan was overjoyed. He took a step back and bowed, "Then, I will thank you in advance."
Shen Baishuang laughed and waved his sleeve. A gust of fresh air lifted the two of them up and flew towards the west.
The battle between the two and Guo Yuan Jun had damaged many parts of the Shenwu Mountain. The cliffs were toppled and the mountains collapsed. Because of the poisonous miasma outside, the original places where many sects were located were all dead and the grass and trees withered.
Fortunately, the sects had been warned beforehand. They either hid outside or hid in the Gate of Hanyuan. When Tao Zhenren set up the formation, he purposely avoided this place, so he was not affected.
However, at this moment, no one knew the result of the battle. Everywhere was still heavily guarded and the prohibition was not released.
On an altar, Chu Mu was anxiously walking back and forth. He said worriedly, "Sect Leader has been out for so many days. Why hasn't he returned yet? I wonder what the result is."
Zhao Ge said, "Since there is no movement outside, he should be fine."
Wen Liang also said loudly, "Since Sect Leader Shixiong can get the help of the Dongsheng Sect's people, what is there to worry about? Moreover, wherever that big demon goes, humans, animals, birds, and beasts are all dead. I don't believe that the Dongsheng Sect's people in Dongsheng Continent will let it run wild. "
Chu Mu said, "Junior Martial Brother is right."
Suddenly, a flying talisman floated down from the sky. He caught it in surprise and looked at it. He said excitedly, "It's a talisman from Sect Leader Shixiong. He wants me to meet him."
Wen Liang said excitedly, "Sect Leader Shixiong is back? Then he must have defeated that Sky Demon. Why did he release the prohibition? "
Chu Mu kept the talisman and said, "I think Senior Martial Brother has other arrangements. There is no need to say more. Junior Martial Brothers, follow me to the peak."
The three of them did not alert anyone. After leaving the altar, they went to the peak. They were puzzled when they saw that the cave door was open and there was no one standing by the side.
When they reached the inside, they saw a person standing in the cave. His eyes were bright like stars and he was handsome. He looked familiar.
Chu Mu stood there in a daze. Then, his body trembled. He was so excited that he could not control himself. He rushed forward and fell in front of Shen Baishuang. He kowtowed desperately and cried, "Disciple is so lucky. I never thought I would be able to see Master's face again in my life."
He choked with sobs. Wen Liang and Zhao Ge also knelt down and kowtowed continuously. Their faces were full of tears and they had lost their usual calmness.
Shen Baishuang sighed and said, "Get up. It has been hard on you."
The three of them kowtowed three times respectfully and stood up.
Shen Baishuang said, "I came here on orders from the sect. I can't stay for long. My disciples are few to begin with. Are the three of you willing to bring your disciples back with me?"
Chu Mu and Zhao Ge were overjoyed. They nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes."
Only Zhao Ge hesitated and said, "Benefactor, Senior Martial Brother Zhang came here alone. If Junior Martial Brother and the others went, wouldn't it be inappropriate to have so many disciples leave the sect?"
