Chapter 378 Immortal Spirit Jade
As for the bald monk who had sneaked in during the chaos and stolen the Black and White Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng, he has now disappeared.
Kudu mobilized his powerful divine soul and carefully considered the feeling that had just appeared in his memory.
The monk was agile and concealed his aura, but the aura of the Vajra Kung Fu felt familiar to him.
He closed his eyes, replaying the moment of their battle in his mind, trying to capture more clues.
"The Vajra Technique, and his understanding of it is almost on par with mine in this clone. Such attainment is beyond the reach of any disciple who is not a core disciple of the Vajra Temple."
Vajra Temple probably doesn't have such a genius, at least not openly.
Could it be that rogue monk from the Black Dragon Society mentioned in the temple before? The guy who killed Xuan Gang and stole the Prisoner's Relic?
'
As he pondered deeply, a blurry figure gradually became clear.
Kudu guessed the identity of the monk he had just met for the first time and made up his mind.
Now that he had scanned the area with his divine sense, he was not worried even though the wild monk had disappeared.
Those two Yin-Yang intertwined Xuan Shen (mysterious ginseng) possessed unique spiritual energy fluctuations, which he had already locked onto. As long as they were within this realm, even if they had been consumed and refined by someone, he would have a way to find them.
"Hmph! I'll see who dares to steal my things and then frame me! But now—"
Kudu scoffed inwardly and turned his gaze in another direction.
Kudu looked in Ji Wuchen's direction, his gaze turning cold.
Although the kid didn't take the pair of Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng, he took advantage of their fight to sneak in and refine the Yin-Yang essence inside.
In his view, this kind of opportunistic behavior was more hateful and unforgivable than outright robbery.
He felt a surge of murderous intent, but he had to suppress it.
But Ji Wuchen is, after all, one of the cultivators in the Great Qing cultivation world that he leads.
As an elder of the Vajra Temple, he couldn't directly kill a young cultivator from the same Great Green sect, as that would break the rules and cause unnecessary trouble.
He had to find a reasonable solution that would punish Ji Wuchen without putting himself in a passive position.
After a moment's thought, Kudu had already devised a plan.
He transmitted his voice to the human-faced dragon, saying, "Very well, I will not pursue the matter of you ambushing me and destroying my clone for the time being."
But those two little insects dared to steal the pair of Yin-Yang ginseng while we were fighting. Such opportunistic thieves are truly unforgivable!
Kudu changed his tone and continued, "In that case, the monk who stole the Xuan Shen earlier is very likely the one you mentioned who used the Vajra Imprisoning Heaven Finger to ambush you."
That is the lineage of my Vajra Temple, and it concerns the reputation of my temple, so I went to clean house.
As for that cultivator who refined the Yin-Yang Dao essence, Ji Wuchen, you can handle him. We'll each get what we need, shall we?
"Okay." The human-faced dragon agreed without much thought.
Kudu withdrew his supernatural powers and stopped entangled with him. He turned and flew in that direction at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this, the human-faced dragon also withdrew its petrification power. After a short period of rest and recovery, it moved and flew in that direction.
As Kudu followed the thread of cause and effect, his heart suddenly sank.
He discovered that the young monk, who might have been a rogue monk from the Black Dragon Society, had long since disappeared.
The surroundings were empty and desolate, with not even a trace of a lingering scent to be detected.
Kudu frowned, and immediately used his divination skills. His fingertips flashed with spiritual light as he outlined complex hexagrams in the void.
However, the result shown by the divination was surprisingly vague, pointing only in a broad direction and making it impossible to pinpoint the exact target.
"How could this happen?"
Kudu was filled with doubt. Although his clone was not as exquisite as his main body's divination skills, which had reached the fifth level, it was still an absolutely overwhelming force in this place.
He believed that even if he couldn't foresee the future, he could at least pinpoint a junior who was only at the mid-stage of the fourth rank.
But now, the other party was as slippery as an eel, completely escaping his perception. This annoyed Kudu; he had thought this trip to the lower realm would be a piece of cake, but he hadn't expected to run into obstacles at every turn.
Little did Kudu know that Chen Yi was taking Ning Bu'er to find Hu Mingyue.
Chen Yi didn't have time to play hide-and-seek with a fifth-tier clone.
He knew in his heart that the monk's tracking methods were too strong, and he had to find a way to get out of the predicament temporarily. Hu Mingyue was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Uncle Chen, is there something you need?"
At this moment, Hu Mingyue was wandering alone outside a large crater in a ruined battlefield. She closed her eyes and carefully sensed the remaining battle atmosphere inside, as if she was trying to figure something out.
Her eyes, which seemed to see through everything, even when closed, exuded an aura of detachment from worldly affairs.
Just then, she sensed two familiar auras approaching, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er rushing over.
She already had some guesses in her mind; Uncle Chen was the kind of person who wouldn't come to her unless he had a reason.
With a smile on his face, Chen Yi walked straight up to Hu Mingyue.
"It's nothing serious, just checking if you're busy. Fuji got a minor injury, and I was thinking of taking her to get treated, so I need someone I know to help her."
Chen Yi was thick-skinned. Although he had long suspected that Hu Mingyue's background was not simple, he wasn't embarrassed at all.
Since she's my own niece, I should be generous in asking for her help when the opportunity arises.
He thought to himself that Hu Mingyue was reliable in critical moments, and her strength was unfathomable, which would be just right to help him block that suffering.
A golden light flashed in Hu Mingyue's eyes, and those eyes, which seemed to see through everything, quickly swept over Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er.
She twitched her delicate nose slightly, and a faint medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy fluctuation were detected by her.
Those were the pair of black and white Yin-Yang Xuan Shen (mysterious ginseng) and the fifth-grade, peak-level Thunder Spirit Fruit from Chen Yi's storage bag.
Both of these treasures are extremely rare cultivation items in the Great Azure Realm, especially the Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng, which is a supreme treasure for dual cultivation.
She then subtly sensed Ning Bu'er's soul injury; although the injury was not severe, it was still quite troublesome.
What surprised her even more was that Ning Bu'er's body also contained the origin of the fifth-order Nine Yin Demon Flame, a power that was strong and pure.
Hu Mingyue had a slight understanding. Combining the treasures Chen Yi had taken out with Ning Bu'er's injuries, she instantly guessed that Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er might be going to refine these two fifth-tier treasures. The most efficient way would undoubtedly be to use this Yin-Yang Mutual Embrace Xuan Shen Dual Cultivation to refine them.
She couldn't help but marvel at Uncle Chen's incredible luck in managing to acquire such a treasure.
Thinking about the process of refining, which might require Chen Shu's Thunder Crystal Marrow to communicate and interact between the two of them, Hu Mingyue's face flushed slightly.
She took a sip and spat it out, inwardly cursing Uncle Chen for being shameless, actually trying to do such a thing in front of his niece.
This is practically treating her like air, or worse, treating her like a free protector who has to endure awkward situations!
As the reincarnation of a Celestial Emperor, when had she ever encountered such a predicament?
"Uncle Chen, do you really need someone to protect you with something like this?" Hu Mingyue glanced at Chen Yi, her tone laced with a hint of mockery and obvious embarrassment. "You guys can just do it yourselves!"
She wasn't unhappy, but rather felt a little awkward, even somewhat amused.
She's a reincarnated Celestial Emperor! And you expect her to be relegated to the mortal realm, guarding the bridal chamber for two Nascent Soul cultivators? Listening to their intimate moments?
What's going on here?
If word gets out, what will become of Hu Mingyue's reputation? It's utterly ridiculous!
"Ahem, Mingyue. It's not what you think."
Chen Yi blushed at Hu Mingyue's blunt words and quickly coughed awkwardly to explain, "It's that ascetic monk who's chasing me—"
If he had no other choice, he wouldn't have brought Ning Bu'er to do this in front of Hu Mingyue.
Hu Mingyue was taken aback upon hearing this, and her intuition as a reincarnation of an immortal emperor instantly alerted her.
She looked up at the sky slightly, and with a quick sense, she discovered a causal perception power that was almost at the fifth level. It had silently descended and locked onto Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er like a shadow.
Although this power was subtle, it could not escape her perception.
"It really is that monk. Humph!" Hu Mingyue snorted inwardly, a surge of displeasure rising in her heart.
How dare a mere bald monk from the lower realm be so presumptuous? He's really giving us too much credit.
In her memory, for this level of causal tracking, he only needed to recover a portion of his strength and a single thought to sever such a trivial trick.
She even felt a bit disdainful.
She then wanted to strike out with her palm and shatter the thread that locked onto their perception of the cause and effect of heaven and earth.
She has the ability, and it's effortless for her; she could even make that monk suffer a hidden loss.
But then she thought about it again. If she made a move, not only would she expose her potential high-level talent to Fairy Ning, but that was another problem.
More importantly, once she makes a move, that Bitter Du will inevitably become aware of her presence, and may even go further to lock onto them. At that point, she might really have to guard the cave room for the couple.
"No way!" Hu Mingyue resolutely refused in her heart.
She didn't want to be treated like a nanny, and she certainly didn't want to eavesdrop on Uncle Chen and Fairy Ning's gossip.
Once her status is restored, and this matter is brought up again, where will she put her face?
She cursed Chen Yi inwardly, thinking he was such a troublemaker.
After thinking for a moment, Hu Mingyue silently rolled her eyes at Chen Yi, cursing him for always causing trouble for himself.
She turned around, her back to Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er, to avoid them seeing her next move.
She unbuttoned her collar, and her two firm, plump breasts swayed slightly. From them, she carefully pulled out a warm, white jade pendant that carried her body heat and fragrance.
This white jade is crystal clear and emits a calming glow, clearly not an ordinary object.
Hu Mingyue turned around again and handed the white jade, still warm from her body, to Chen Yi.
"Uncle Chen, please use this for a few days first," she said, her tone tinged with reluctance but mostly with helplessness. "When you infuse it with divine sense, it can prevent him from tracking you. However, this thing consumes a lot of divine sense, so don't use it for too long."
She thought to herself that although this thing was precious, it was still better than her personally taking action or actually guarding the bridal chamber. It could be considered as helping Uncle Chen solve his urgent problem.
Chen Yi was slightly taken aback. He took the warm white jade that still carried his body heat and fragrance. It was warm to the touch, and a cool sensation went straight to his heart and lungs.
At the same time, a notification sounded in his mind from the system: [Unknown grade immortal treasure detected, unable to devour]
An unknown-grade immortal treasure?
These words made Chen Yi's heart skip a beat. Immortal Treasure, what kind of existence was that?
Chen Yi is currently only a Nascent Soul cultivator and knows very little about the affairs of the Immortal Realm.
Even so, he knew that items that could be called "celestial treasures" were by no means ordinary.
It represents a level beyond spiritual treasures; it is a supreme treasure of the immortals, each containing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, capable of resonating with the laws of nature.
He looked at Hu Mingyue, his eyes gleaming. This girl could casually produce such a priceless treasure; her background was far more profound than he had imagined.
Of course, Chen Yi couldn't outwardly show that he knew the grade of this thing.
He knew that in this situation, saying more would be pointless and would only expose his true nature. He simply bowed calmly.
"Then thank you, Mingyue."
Hu Mingyue blushed, nodded, then rolled her eyes at Chen Yi with a hint of reproach and helplessness before turning and leaving.
"This Uncle Chen is really shameless. He already guessed my identity, and he still dares to do this," Hu Mingyue thought to herself as she turned around.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Yi displayed unexpected talent during her Nascent Soul formation, and that mysterious aura that resonated with the laws of heaven and earth, which piqued her interest.
Hu Mingyue probably wouldn't take out her jade pendant and lend it to him.
This jade pendant was a small trinket that she managed to retrieve from a special spatial vault after recovering a sliver of her strength, but it was by no means something she could easily show to others.
However, Chen Yi's relationship with her, and his talent, made her feel that it was worthwhile for her to invest in a good relationship.
After obtaining the jade pendant, Chen Yi did not rush to investigate it.
He carefully put it away first, and only after Hu Mingyue had gone far away did he devote a portion of his divine sense to it.
In an instant, he discovered that a special power of cause and effect was indeed enveloping him.
This power is mysterious, seemingly able to block all prying eyes.
At this moment, under the protection of the jade pendant, whatever he did could not be perceived by the external forces of cause and effect, as if he had jumped out of the five elements of heaven and earth and transcended the long river of fate.
"This is really good stuff!" Chen Yi couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
The value of this jade pendant was even higher than he had expected.
It can isolate cause and effect, which means that during this period, he can do things that ordinary people cannot imagine, without worrying about being devoured by the Heavenly Dao or being tracked by certain powerful beings through cause and effect.
"It's a pity that it still consumes too much of my spiritual power."
Chen Yi frowned slightly.
Even with his late-stage fourth-order divine sense power, he could only use it continuously for 5 days.
This consumption far exceeds all his supernatural powers.
"Moreover, the system determined that with my divine sense and magical power, I was unable to devour even a trace of it."
It seems that this celestial treasure is far superior in rank to a spiritual treasure.
Chen Yi thought to himself.
Having such a treasure, even if it can only be used for a short five days, is enough to change many established situations.
