Chapter 671: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 43

After dealing with the spider monster, Ruyi was not in a hurry to leave. She took out the boundary bead and planned to refine it before her cultivation level returned to normal.

The process of refining the boundary bead was not difficult. Without the restriction of the golden bead's divine power, the authority of the boundary bead became completely ownerless. With Ruyi Immortal's ninth-level cultivation, it was very smooth to refine it.

When Ruyi was refining the world bead, Zhiqiu Yiye in the outside world was almost going crazy. Ever since Ruyi entered the painted wall world, he had been standing in front of the painted wall and refused to leave even a step.

When Ruyi circulated the power of merit in his body to attract the five elements of heavenly thunder to strike the spider monster, the entire painting wall seemed to be splashed with thick ink at that moment and turned completely black. As Ruyi in the world of the painting wall chanted the mantra, dark clouds covering the sun and lightning and thunder appeared in the sky outside.

Then, under Zhiqiu Yiye's shocked gaze, a thick ray of lightning fiercely pierced through the roof of the temple and slammed into the inky black painted wall. In an instant, the lightning flashed, and Zhiqiu Yiye was caught off guard and his eyes were hurt by the dazzling lightning.

After the lightning ended, Zhiqiu Yiye ignored the pain in his eyes, and forced himself to keep his tearful eyes open to examine the wall inch by inch, trying to find Ruyi's figure on it and determine her condition.

"No, no, nothing."

It's a pity that the main body of the mural remains the same as before. Apart from the pavilions, buildings, green mountains and clear waters, there is no single figure to be seen.

“Senior, you must be okay!” If Zhiqiu Yiye had not used up his out-of-body talisman and had not had time to draw, Zhiqiu Yiye would have wanted to use it immediately to enter the world on the painted wall.

Time passed by little by little. After the lightning, there was no change in the world of the painted wall, whether in the outside world or inside. Zhiqiu Yiye had been guarding for a whole night. As the day was about to dawn, Ruyi had not returned yet. Zhiqiu Yiye's mood was getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, at this time, Ruyi in the painted wall world had reached the final stage of refining the boundary bead. With the disappearance of the last bit of merit power in his body, the boundary bead in Ruyi's hand finally changed from a transparent crystal ball to a golden crystal ball.

"I guess the undivided divine essence was originally like this, right?"

Ruyi carefully looked at the boundary bead in his hand. From what he felt when refining the boundary bead, this boundary bead should have been the 'coat' of the spider monster's golden bead. Now the golden bead inside was gone, and Ruyi used his own merit power to gather a new one for it. Although the level was different, the color was the same.

After refining the boundary bead, Ruyi had the authority to govern the entire painted wall world. With a thought, she collected all the non-stone illusions in the painted wall world into space, and then flew away. After returning to the outside world, Ruyi directly put her spiritual consciousness into the boundary bead. With the command "Collect!", the entire painted wall world suddenly separated from the painted wall body. Ruyi hurriedly took out a piece of silk cloth from the space and threw it into the air. The painted wall world fell onto the silk cloth like a rubbing.

“Hahahahahahaha, the painted wall becomes a canvas. If the space inside wasn’t so small and the silk cloth used was just ordinary cloth, this thing would be a low-profile version of ‘Mountain and River Map’.”

"Senior..." After Ruyi came out, he was only concerned with collecting the painted wall world and clearly ignored Zhiqiu Yiye who had been waiting for a long time. Zhiqiu Yiye felt aggrieved but knew that he should not disturb Ruyi. Only when Ruyi's "important matter" was finally finished did Zhiqiu Yiye speak softly.

"Uh..." Damn, I completely forgot that Zhiqiu Yiye is still here!

"Senior, have you forgotten me..."

Ruyi, who was laughing wildly, suddenly froze, with the corners of her grinning mouth still wide open. Seeing that she would freeze to death if she didn't respond to Zhiqiu Yiye's resentful eyes, Ruyi turned her head awkwardly, "Ahem, Zhiqiu Yiye, thank you for helping to protect my body."

"Forget it." Zhiqiu Yiye was satisfied to receive a word of thanks from the senior, "Senior, have you dealt with the spider monster?"

"Of course it's solved. Here, the body is here!" Ruyi raised her head proudly and released the spider demon's body from the space. "See if there is anything you can use. I'll give it to you!"

"Wow, senior, thank you!"

There was no telling how many good materials could be found on the three thousand year old monsters. Ruyi herself did not understand and did not know what was useful and what was not, but for a Taoist like Zhiqiu Yiye, these were basic courses that had been learned since childhood and were not difficult at all.

After finishing the matter of painting the wall, Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye stayed in the temple for another half a month before leaving. During this half month, Zhiqiu Yiye decomposed all the useful parts of the spider monster and processed them into different categories, while Ruyi used this half month to absorb the merit light balls that he had stored before.

Although only a light ball of light was dropped after Zhigong was destroyed, the monsters who bore his evil spirits left a lot of "legacy" for Ruyi. After Ruyi absorbed it, not only did it make up for all the cultivation points lost after the incense clone was consumed, but it also thoughtfully allowed Ruyi to take a step further on the path of immortality.

He advanced from the second level of the ninth order of immortals to the seventh level of the tenth order of immortals, becoming a truly high-level immortal. From then on, he was only away from the final eleventh and twelfth levels of immortals to achieve his desired path to godhood.

After leaving Jiangxi, Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye traveled around the Central Plains together as before. During this time, Zhiqiu Yiye worked hard and not only improved his cultivation by several levels, but also practiced Kunlun Taoism to perfection, and was particularly good at the immobilization spell.

Whenever they encounter harmful monsters, Zhiqiu Yiye will cooperate with Ruyi. One of them will immobilize the monster while the other will set off a mine. They can solve the problem with just two moves. Few people can survive from the hands of the two of them.

As Yan Chixia witnessed more injustices during his travels over the years, his state of mind became more and more profound. As his state of mind improved, Yan Chixia's swordsmanship also improved, and he soon became known as the best swordsman in the world.

This attracted the swordsman Xiahou, who had been practicing sword since he was young and had outstanding talent and few rivals. He called himself the best swordsman in the world, but he never expected that everyone believed that Yan Chixia was the best swordsman in the world.

In order to become famous and regain the title of "the best swordsman in the world", Xiahou Swordsman chased Yan Chixia and challenged him many times. Although he lost to Yan Chixia every time, Xiahou Swordsman refused to admit defeat and the resentment accumulated in his heart became more and more serious.

Yan Chixia was extremely annoyed, and seeing that Xiahou Jianke had reached a dead end, in order to get rid of Xiahou Jianke's entanglement, Yan Chixia chose to return to Guobei County and live in seclusion in the Lanruo Temple in Yinshan.

Seven years passed in the blink of an eye, and Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye finally arrived in the capital. At this time, Ning Caichen had been imprisoned in the capital prison for seven years. Seven years had passed, and Ning Caichen had long since changed from a young scholar to a bearded, sloppy Zhuge Liang. As for his original name - Ning Caichen, no one mentioned it since he came in.
