Chapter 129: Extreme Ice Blooms
"It seems that the words of this monster cannot be trusted." Then Zhou Chen was seen wrapping the Thunder Spirit Pearl with his true energy and then putting it into the storage bag. Fortunately, no thunder power came out of the storage bag after taking the Thunder Spirit Pearl.
Although he could not use the Thunder Spirit Pearl, he could use it to exchange for other treasures or merit points in the Treasure Pavilion.
Afterwards, Zhou Chen and Xiaohu returned to Qinghua County. As for the spider's body, he put it into his storage bag.
The spider demon's body was extremely disgusting and she had no appetite for it, but she could sell it or give it to the Demon Suppression Bureau in exchange for merit points.
Not long after Zhou Chen left, a man in black came to the place where the fight had taken place and then disappeared in a flash.
Zhou Chen returned to Qinghua County after daybreak. The soldiers guarding the city saw Zhou Chen approaching from a distance and quickly opened the city gate. Zhao Kuo stepped forward and asked, "Why did you go away for a whole night?"
Zhou Chen yawned and said, "It's resolved."
"Ah, what did you say? You dealt with so many monsters by yourself?"
"No, I don't have that ability," Zhou Chen then told Zhao Kuo what happened last night.
Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to leave Qinghua County, but continued to stay here for a few days. Things were just as Zhou Chen said. After that day, no monsters came to attack the city again.
For safety reasons, Zhou Chen would take Xiaohu to patrol the villages outside the city at night. Previously, in order to avoid the attacks of monsters, all the surrounding villagers crowded into Qinghua County. After finding that there were indeed no traces of monsters, Zhou Chen asked Lord Xia to arrange for the people to go home.
During this period, Zhou Chen also noticed that Li Daoyi and his apprentice Gou Zi were not there. He didn't know how they were doing now, but with Li Daoyi around, nothing should happen.
After staying for a few days, Zhou Chen took Leng Yiyao back to Wu'an County. After returning, Zhou Chen obtained fifty merit points and one thousand two taels of silver. Zhou Chen also handed over the Thunder Spirit Pearl to the Treasure Pavilion. This thing was a bit evil, so Zhou Chen did not dare to take it out and deal with it casually, so it was better to hand it over to the Demon Suppression Division.
The Demon Suppression Division did not treat Zhou Chen unfairly and immediately gave him 500 merit points. Zhou Chen was a little confused. He only got 50 merit points for killing a sixth-grade monster, but this bead was only worth 500 merit points.
Afterwards, Zhou Chen handed over the spider demon's body to the Demon Suppression Bureau, and then Zhou Chen received another three thousand taels of silver.
This outing was quite rewarding. Zhou Chen exchanged many treasures in the Treasure Pavilion on the spot, including ten medicinal pills suitable for lower third-grade warriors, followed by five medicinal pills for increasing the training speed of middle third-grade warriors, plus ten medicinal pills for restoring true energy, and also exchanged for three true thunder talismans.
As a result, he only had more than 80 merit points left. Zhou Chen did not keep any of them and went straight to the library. He exchanged the remaining 80 points for a martial arts book, an ice-attributed martial art called Extreme Ice Bloom. It required strong true energy to support it, but it was also extremely powerful.
After taking a look at Zhou Chen, the guard at the pavilion advised him not to choose this martial art. After all, the previous Fengyun Sword consumed a lot of internal energy, and now with this one added, he didn't know how much internal energy he would have.
Zhou Chen smiled and thanked him for his kindness. Seeing that Zhou Chen insisted, the guard did not say anything more and had to let Zhou Chen go. After all, he was just kind-hearted and it was Zhou Chen's own business what he chose.
After returning to his yard, Zhou Chen first gave ten Mirror Breaking Pills to Leng Yiyao. Although the Mirror Breaking Pills could not directly improve one's realm after taking them, they were very helpful for his improvement. At least they could increase Leng Yiyao's cultivation speed by five times.
“Brother Chen, why did you exchange these things? You should exchange them for something that is useful to you.” As he said that, he was about to return the things to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen directly refused and said, “The things have been exchanged. The Demon Suppression Division will not return them. Besides, when your strength improves, you can help me.”
Haven’t you always wanted to enter the Demon Suppression Division? If you reach the strength of the middle third rank, I will let you enter the Demon Suppression Division, how about that?
"You said it, so don't go back on your word."
In the room, Zhou Chen opened the secret book of Extreme Ice Bloom. The book was very thin and there was not much content on it. In just twenty minutes, Zhou Chen had memorized all the contents in his mind.
According to the pavilion keeper, although this martial art is only of the best yellow grade quality, its power is comparable to that of the middle grade black grade martial art.
Zhou Chen then began to practice martial arts in the room according to the method in the secret book. In just one hour, the words "Extreme Ice Bloom" appeared on his panel. For the next half month, Zhou Chen kept eating meat at home, and did not even go to the Demon Suppression Division. In the middle of the night, Zhou Chen stood in the yard and raised his right hand.
As his true energy flowed, a lotus appeared in his hand, a lotus condensed from ice. A faint white mist emanated from the surroundings of the lotus. Zhou Chen threw the lotus casually and it flew to the center of the yard.
With Zhou Chen's light shout, the lotus exploded and countless ice pillars burst out from the lotus, covering an area of three meters.
At this time, a smaller version of the extreme ice bloomed. Although there was no target, Zhou Chen knew that the power of this attack was definitely not small.
Zhou Chen felt the true Qi in his body. This Extreme Ice Bloom really consumes a lot of true Qi. With his current skill of more than 150 years, he can't perform it many times. This move can only be regarded as his ultimate move and should not be used easily.
Head: Snake Pattern (Sixth-grade Mythical Power + 25 Ultimate Eye, no copy martial arts yet)
Left arm: Bear pattern (sixth-grade mythical power +25 additional magical power Gale Sword, no martial arts copy yet)
Right arm: Tiger pattern (sixth-grade rare power + 15 copy martial arts, no skills yet)
Chest: Rat Pattern (Sixth-grade Mythical Power + 24 Magical Ice Qi, no martial arts copy yet)
Left leg: Spider pattern (sixth-grade legendary power + 30 magical power illusion killing, no body copy martial arts yet)
Right leg: Tiger pattern (seventh-grade rare power + 110 magical power giant tiger possession)
When he killed the spider demon before, he obtained a legendary demon pattern, which increased his strength by 30 years and added two magical powers.
Now he only lacks a sixth-grade demon pattern, but he is not in a hurry, as he has plenty of time.
A few days later, Zhou Chen received a piece of news that something was lost in the Demon Suppression Division. The lost item was the Thunder Spirit Pearl that he had handed in before.
Regardless of whether the lost items are valuable or not, just stealing things from the Demon Suppression Division has already touched the authority of the Demon Suppression Division.
Zhou Chen also got a task, which was to temporarily serve as the captain of Team 19. At the same time, all members of the Demon Suppression Bureau were dispatched to search the city for the whereabouts of the thieves.
After Zhou Chen received the order, he quickly rushed to the Demon Suppression Division and began to search with Ning Shuang and the other two. Before they came out, the higher-ups of the Demon Suppression Division had already allocated the search range, and each team led a team of officers and soldiers to be responsible for searching an area.
As soon as the sun rose, Zhou Chen led everyone to his area. There were more than 300 households in this area. Fortunately, with so many people, they should be able to finish the search before dark.
Zhou Chen did not go to search, but stood there waiting for others to search. As for Leng Ningshuang and Wang Yong, they were responsible for supervising the search by the officers and soldiers.
Zhou Chen stood there with his eyes closed, quietly waiting for the result of the search. If he found a thief, he would rush over immediately. The person who could steal things from the Demon Suppression Bureau must be very powerful. "I really hope I don't run into him."
