Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 515 - 348: Unspeakable, When the Evil Heart Snake Princess Meets the World-Shaking Pure Yang_2
A hundred years, enough for her to do many things.
"First, avoid the limelight."
Having made up her mind, the monstrous creature with a snake's head and a human body once again transformed into the appearance of a monk dressed in yellow, hurrying towards the north.
Seven days later.
The serpentine temptress looked at the rising smoke above the distant green mountains, and a touch of ecstasy suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"It really is like finding something precious without even looking for it. Didn't they say the Northern Region is barren and it's hard to find cultivating monks to intercept? Why is there such a powerful cultivator here?"
"Such a majestic physique, such vast vitality, truly intoxicating. Devouring him would be tenfold better than any spirit I have consumed before."
"I have the Bo Xun Forbidden Technique, the Serpent Shedding Secret Technique, Concealment Secret Technique, Black Dome Evil Realm, Bewitchment Eyes. How fortunate am I to encounter this person—could it be my master assisting me from The Heavens Beyond?"
"After swallowing this person, I will be not far from reaching the seventh level of Dao Mastery."
"Praise the prosperity of demonic fortune!"
The serpentine temptress looked up to the sky and bowed reverently.

On the distant green mountain, at this time, a robust Daoist with a sturdy figure was barbecuing.
….
….
"Woo-hoo~"
"Grilled chicken wings, oh~ my favorite."
Yi Chen hummed a catchy tune while repeatedly taking out a thick wolf-hair brush, dipping it in honey to baste the chicken wings, sizzling fat seeped from the surface of the wings.
The honey was from a kind-hearted bear in the mountains who had appeared to him in a dream because the bear couldn't sleep; Yi Chen helped it.
Although compared to the Great Love Immortal who had raised the qualifications of his entire race to upper A-grade and panicked seeing two children fall into a fire pit, Yi Chen still had a gap, but Yi Chengzi was well-known for loving bears, and he was skilled in this task without any moral pressure.
"Bear bro, pretty generous~ Don't worry, you'll sleep for at least three days. I even fed you some tiger essence pill skins, guaranteed to wake up refreshed, you're not losing out."
"Miao Zi, go catch a few more colorful chickens for your dad, make sure they're alive."
"Pipi Bao, go fetch some pine wood for your master, bite it into small pieces and bring them here, I'm running low on firewood, remember only pine wood, I cough at anything else."
Yi Chen glanced at the campfire in front of him and began to give orders.
The colorful chicken was a low-grade spirit beast of the area, don't be fooled by its round appearance like a basketball, it was actually swift as the wind and even Qi Refinement Realm cultivators found it difficult to catch; Miao Zi was just right for this job.
At this time, Yi Chen had been away from Taiwu City for eight days.
With the help of the Qilin Holy Boots, Yi Chen had finally filled his last gap, dashing hastily for eight days, and it was only today when he saw the beautiful scenery here, that he decided to rest and amuse himself—finish eating then go fishing in the lake in the mountains, delightfully satisfying.
Upon hearing his words, Miao Zi and Pipi Bao immediately scattered to carry out tasks, very understanding.
Watching the blazing pine wood flames, Yi Chen expertly flipped the chicken wings on the grill, basting sauce, though his gaze began to wander a bit.
Qin Yun had recently sent him a letter to congratulate him on becoming the champion of the Great Qin Legal Assembly and mentioned that the Hidden Dragon Alliance headquarters had moved to the Kunxu Mountain where the Jianxie Sect was originally located, taking with it many sinister items collected by the Alliance.
Yi Chen simply decided to leave, going back to the Hidden Dragon Alliance to grab the Deep Red Points, and then return to the Freewheeling Heaven to see how his adorable junior brothers were, and to plot with Yuan Jun and others while waiting for the big formation in Eastern Continent to be activated.
Of course, before leaving he couldn't resist flirting with Yuan Jun, indulging in two bouts.
After all, back at the Hehuan Sect, Yuan Jun had bet with him that if he could escape her grasp, she would grant him any wish.
Well...
In the first bout, he did not win; in the second, Yuan Jun did not lose.
Although he still had some reserve, not having used tricks like the Soul Ignition Technique, Yi Chen felt that Yuan Jun also had cards up her sleeve, so he decided to flee without continuing the fight.
Just as Yi Chen was pondering future plans, his eyebrows suddenly raised as he saw a yellow-robed monk riding the wind, swiftly approaching from the sky.
Yi Chen ignored the newcomer and continued to dig out five mud balls wrapped in lotus leaves from under the campfire.
"Fellow Daoist, what are these?" asked the snake temptress, taken aback at the sight.
"Come on, are your eyes just for breathing? Can't you see?" Yi Chen replied irritably.
Freeloading was one thing, but what's with the pretense?
Yi Chen's response was full of refined language, leaving the serpentine temptress completely at a loss.
Then, as the mud balls were cracked open, the tantalizing fragrance of a beggar's chicken floated into the hands of the yellow-robed monk.
"Eat up, Master. Would I begrudge you a chicken? Why beat around the bush?"
Serpentine temptress: "...Still rather fragrant~"
Pah, how fragrant my ass!
Just at that moment, a poisonous scheme surged into her mind.
To use poison!
The wine fermented with her snake venom, her life essence, if ingested by the Daoist before her, would certainly help her break this man.
This snake venom wine, which she had just brewed with her original venom a few days ago, was colorless, tasteless, and exceedingly difficult to detect—ideal for this occasion.
"First, I shall feign compliance, and at the right moment, bring out the poisoned wine."
Once her mind was set, a passionate expression suddenly surfaced on the face of the Evil Heart Snake Princess.
"Thank you, Daoist friend."
....
After biting into a chicken leg, the Evil Heart Snake Princess thought she should warm up the scene a bit and immediately started a conversation, "Daoist, may I ask how one attains the Dao?"
Yi Chen glanced at the person before him with a hint of strangeness in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he rubbed his thumb and index finger together.
"What does this mean, Daoist?"
"Karma, too profound to be expressed, the Dao I speak of can help one increase wisdom and should not be lightly passed on."
With these words, the Evil Heart Snake Princess's interest intensified, her curiosity about the Daoist's words regarding attainment of the Dao growing even greater.
"Would the Daoist like to exchange that word on attaining the Dao for this?"
With a grand gesture, the Evil Heart Snake Princess flipped out a nine-section staff, a magic artifact she had obtained at the Joyous Buddha Temple.
"Agreed!"
Knowledge for a price—that only seemed fair.
Once Yi Chen had the staff in hand, he immediately cracked a smile, and his wariness heightened within.
The words to attain the Dao are simple.
"Dao that might be, Dao that might not be, the ever-present Dao."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Why does the Daoist brother deceive me?" A faint voice came, and the Evil Heart Snake Princess's fist tightened involuntarily.
"What are you saying, master? This is the great Dao, which can be or not be—formless, residing between heaven and earth, within the human heart. What I've said is the absolute truth of the cosmos." Yi Chen put the staff into his storage ring and began to speak with conviction, a strange gleam flashing in his eyes once more.
"Yet the scripture you spoke of to enhance wisdom, Daoist brother, you have not yet imparted to me." The Evil Heart Snake Princess suppressed the anger in her heart, continuing to press on.
"Master, you don't think such a scripture can be exchanged for just a staff, do you? I swear on my Daoist conviction, this scripture can indeed increase wisdom, provided the master can pay the price."
"Otherwise, may my spiritual essence be utterly destroyed!" Yi Chen had never feared making such a dire vow!
"I will trust the Daoist friend once more!" A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Evil Heart Snake Princess as she placed a treasured pill before Yi Chen.
For a moment, a look of amazement deepened on his face.
He never expected that the Reincarnation Pill, which he had sold at the Great Qin Legal Assembly, would come full circle to appear before him once again.
Yi Chen immediately smiled as he took the pill.
"This scripture is simple, Daoist friend, listen carefully."
"Dao that might be, Dao that might not be, the ever-present Dao!"
Twice in a row!
"Daoist, why do you deceive...?" A muffled roar came from the yellow-robed monk that the Evil Heart Snake Princess had transformed into.
A flash of fierceness appeared in Yi Chen's eyes as the Holy Halberd suddenly appeared in his hand, stabbing toward the spot where the Evil Heart Snake Princess had been moments before.
The 'yellow-robed monk' twisted like a serpent, contorting into an odd angle, and by a narrow margin, managed to dodge the sudden attack unleashed by Yi Chen.
In an instant, the air was filled with a pervasive sense of killing intent!
When Yi Chen had previously encountered a monk whose depth he couldn't fathom, he became secretly vigilant. He had suffered a significant loss at the hands of the Buddhists before and couldn't afford to face such a defeat again.
Then, the first time he took advantage of the situation to deceitfully test the monk in front of him, his incredibly sharp senses captured a deep malice emitting from the person.
Yi Chen was utterly furious. Although he had attained Dao Mastery, he was still targeted by the Buddhists; for what reason, bearing what grudge, it was truly maddening.
"Deceive? What are you saying, master? You're aware you've been deceived and still say you haven't gained wisdom? I haven't deceived you!"
Yi Chen puffed out his chest, raised the long halberd in his hand, and showed a ferocious smile. He, Yi Chengzi, had not deceived anyone.
