Chapter 128: Blood Sea Flute, Immortal Tree Matures and Harvests Spiritual Refining Technique
After Chen Shusheng became his disciple, Chen An simply arranged for him to practice in the third-level spiritual land and no longer cared about him.

At this moment, Ningying is the most important thing, and he doesn't have more time to teach him.

After the two left, Chen An continued to cultivate the Golden Crow grass and ripen the fairy tree.

Even the planting of other spiritual plants was reduced and the amount of Golden Crow grass was increased.

At other times, he also took a few drops of Yuanshui Lu to improve his cultivation. After all, no matter how small, it was also a kind of accumulation.

On this day, Xin Fenghai came to Kuxiu Mountain in a daze, as if he had lost his parents.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, my junior sister is going to marry Cui Shuosheng!"

Chen An was surprised and asked, "Didn't Fellow Daoist Xu like you? How could this happen?"

When Xu Hanyun came to see Xin Fenghai before, they were inseparable and chased each other around. It didn't seem like Xu Hanyun had fallen in love with someone else.

"Oh, forget it."

Xin Fenghai sat on the ground and said with a bitter face, "I don't know what's wrong with my master, or whether Cui Shuosheng has bewitched him. He insists on marrying me to Cui Shuosheng, and I can't stop him. It's fine if the master doesn't agree with us being together, but it's really hard for me to marry someone I don't like."

He was crying and snotting, as if he had already foreseen the difficult life that Xu Hanyun would live in the future.

Chen An's heart trembled, probably because the last Jindan Conference of Lihuo Palace did not receive the support of the righteous way, and the Lihuo Patriarch had no choice but to fully support Cui Shuosheng to form a Ningying.

The four disciples of Lihuo Patriarch are missing, and Xin Fenghai is incompetent, so he can only support Cui Shuosheng.

Listening to Xin Fenghai's nagging, Chen An echoed him, responding from time to time and occasionally offering a few words of comfort.

After Xin Fenghai's emotions stabilized a little, Chen An's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind.

"Friend Xin, why don't you return to Lihuo Palace and win back your junior sister?"

"That's easy to say, but who dares to disobey the master's orders?"

Xin Fenghai drooped his eyelids and looked listless.

"Fellow Daoist, you are confused. You cannot disobey your master's orders, but your junior sister loves you deeply. Are you afraid that she will not obey you?"

Chen An smiled softly and continued, "I heard that Cui Shuosheng has had many disagreements with the top leaders of your sect. You just need to work with your junior sister to mediate and spread the news that Cui Shuosheng has the full support of your master. Then you can win over the people's hearts and get the support of the top leaders of the sect. Let Senior Lihuo see your potential, and he might change his mind."

The first few sentences made some sense, but as to whether or not Ancestor Lihuo would change his mind and see Xin Fenghai's potential, Chen An was just guessing and not completely sure.

However, regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, there will definitely be chaos in the Lihuo Palace, and Cui Shuosheng and Lihuo Patriarch will no longer have time to take care of the Qingyun Sect.

As long as we can gain a few years of buffer time, once the matter of Condensing Infant is settled, we won't have to worry about the other party stabbing us in the back anymore.

"Is this okay?"

Xin Fenghai touched his chin, his eyebrows almost twisted into knots.

"I am just providing an idea. I am not sure whether it will succeed or not."

Chen An spoke the truth. He looked at the other person deeply and asked, "But, Daoist Xin, if you want to become a Taoist partner with your junior sister, do you have any other choice now?"

The marriage was arranged by the Lihuo Patriarch himself, and Cui Shuosheng was the Palace Master. The only people Xin Fenghai could rely on were her junior sister and the high-level officials of the Lihuo Palace.

Xin Fenghai thought about it for a long time, gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He nodded heavily and said, "Now, we have no choice but to give it a try!"

"Thank you, Mr. Daoist Chen, for clearing up my doubts. I will definitely reward you handsomely after the matter is accomplished."

After expressing his gratitude, Xin Fenghai seemed to have figured things out and felt a lot more relaxed.

He then said goodbye to Chen An and headed north. Judging from his route, he was heading straight towards Lihuo Palace.

After Xin Fenghai left, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared outside Kuxiu Mountain.

He glanced in the direction where Xin Fenghai left, ignored him, and looked towards Kuxiu Mountain with burning eyes.

"I haven't been back for many years. I really miss it."

"But no matter how good this place is, it can't compare to the freedom in the Yin Demon Sect."

Chen Fengshuo recalled the past years and still felt comfortable in the Yinmo Sect. He could be the king there, unrestrained and free.

He was about to inform the tribesmen on the mountain and open the mountain protection formation, but he saw a pitch-black monster emerging from the north mountain.

"Wang!"

The black-haired lion wagged its tail, shook its big head and gestured toward the mountain, then led the way.

Chen Fengshuo laughed and said, "I don't know who raised this dog, but it's quite interesting."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Hearing the sound, the black-haired beast turned around, bared its teeth and growled at Chen Fengshuo a few times, as if to express its displeasure at what he had just said.

Chen Fengshuo shook his head and didn't bother to argue with the spirit beast.

Not long after, a man and a dog came to the Beishan Cave and stood in front of Chen An.

"After so many years, you have also formed a pill."

Chen Fengshuo seemed to be using a breath-concealing technique, but this could not escape Chen An's ghostly eyes.

"The elder has a keen eye. I did form a pill a few years ago."

Chen Fengshuo said sternly. He felt Chen An's aura as vast as the ocean and found that he could not see through the other party's cultivation level.

"I came back to the mountain this time to tell you that the Ji Yin Sect, which had previously shrunk in power, has recently made some moves and is reorganizing the surrounding Jindan Demon Sects. After much investigation, I learned that the Ji Yin Patriarch's injuries have mostly healed and he has recovered to the third level of the Nascent Soul."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before I can recover my peak strength!"

Chen Fengshuo told Chen An about the recent situation in the Demonic Path.

"Well, I understand. You have worked hard over the years."

Chen An nodded slightly and was not worried about the affairs of the Jiyin Sect.

Judging from the current trend, it will take a few years for Old Ancestor Ji Yin to fully recover, so there is no need to worry too much.

"It's been a while since you formed your elixir. How's your practice of the Netherworld Ghost Fire going?"

"Thanks to your teachings, I have been practicing day and night since I formed the elixir, and now I have succeeded!"

Chen Fengshuo showed a proud look on his face, like a child showing off the fruits of his labor to adults, and a ball of blue flame flashed.

This fire was only the size of a fist, with a black line inside, and was not very strong, but he had relied entirely on his own hard work, so it was considered quite good to have reached this point.

"That's fine."

Chen An nodded slightly, waved his hand and threw a jade bottle to the other party, saying: "There are twenty natural ghost fires in it, which can help you continue to cultivate to the second level. When you go back, be more careful about the Dianji Yin Sect and report any situation immediately."

The other party was his eyes and ears in the magic world, so naturally he would not hesitate to train him and give him some benefits.

Chen Fengshuo happily took the ghost fire and patted his chest to assure: "Don't worry, I will come and report it in person as soon as there is any movement in the magic world."

In a blink of an eye, Chen An solved the Blood Soul Immortal problem for Chen Shusheng twice. After sending the new disciple away, Chen An went to Wu Jianquan and the other five.

The wolf demon was indeed the incarnation of the Demon King. His body was filled with extremely rich Qi and blood. In just two years, it had contributed sufficient Qi and blood to the Blood Soul Immortal in his body.

Today, it has finally matured and has produced several spiritual seeds.

Chen An was overjoyed and immediately fed the wolf demon a few ounces of glass wine, causing it to spit out all the seeds and spiritual plants.

The Blood Soul Immortal's body has grown a lot compared to before, but its roots are still as slender as before.

After it came out, it squirmed a few times, seeming a little confused, then it identified its target and continued to crawl towards the wolf demon.

"You, you devil, take this disgusting thing away!"

The white-robed wolf demon was about to cry. It was bad enough that he was deeply tortured by the Blood Soul Immortal, but over the past few years, Chen An had also used plant essences to ripen him from time to time, causing him unbearable pain. He regretted coming to Kuxiu Mountain to provoke this demon.

After two years of recuperation, Wu Jianquan's complexion has recovered a lot, but when he looked at the Blood Soul Immortal, he still felt a chill in his heart. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had finally escaped from this disgusting spiritual plant.

But what was surprising was that Chen An actually did as the wolf demon said. He waved his hand to wipe out the Blood Soul Immortal's spirituality and then put it away.

Some people couldn't believe it. Has this devil changed his nature?

"I'm telling you, I won't be partial to one person anymore. Everyone will get a chance to become the Blood Soul Immortal!"

Chen An's voice was like a deadly ghost sound, striking the five people's hearts directly and making their faces turn pale.

Ignoring how they begged for mercy, Chen An took out the Blood Soul Fairy Seed and gave one to each of them.

There was no way. He didn't want to be so cruel, but these people all wanted to kill him. Since they were the blood and fat that came to his doorstep, who else should he torture if not them?

"Hey, isn't it better to practice hard and pursue the path to immortality? Why do you have to come out and play one by one?"

Chen An shook his head and turned to leave.

Returning to the cave, he took out the treasure he had just obtained from capturing the Blood Soul Immortal.

This is a blood-colored flute, called the Blood Sea Flute, and it is a magical treasure.

The word "spiritual treasure" alone is enough to explain its value. This is something that only cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage can wield. Its value is even greater than that of the Yin-Yang Wind Bottle.

Of course, if one day in the future, the Yin-Yang Wind Bottle is promoted to a spiritual treasure, then who knows.

It seems that the Demon King Xunliang spent a huge amount of money on this magic weapon, and it has the potential to be upgraded to a spiritual treasure. According to the Yin and Yang winds it can continuously generate, it may not be inferior to ordinary spiritual treasures.

The Demon King Xunliang had lost his clone and his treasure bottle, and he must be extremely anxious at this time.

Chen An felt amused when he thought about how he had caused a demon king to suffer a great loss.

However, we still cannot be careless. Who knows if the other party will do something desperate?

Chen An immediately came to the spiritual field to check the condition of the fairy tree.

Now, after several years of full-scale ripening, the age of the Eight Spirit Treasure Tree has reached 460 years, and it is not far from complete maturity.

If the Golden Crow grass did not rely on the essence of the sun and could only ripen during the day, the immortal tree would probably have matured long ago.

Chen An glanced at a corner of the fourth-level spiritual field. Chen Shuang was still practicing without interruption.

With the nourishment of the Yin-Yang Wind Bottle, the eight Yu Linglong seeds have reached a medicinal age of about fifty years. With the blessing of quantity, her cultivation progress is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the past few years, not only has the spirit not lost control again, but his cultivation has made further progress and reached the sixth level of foundation building!
It is worthy of being a spiritual body comparable to the best spiritual roots. Even Chen An feels ashamed of his speed.

However, the other party's cultivation speed is not only due to the spiritual body, but also the blessing of Yu Linglong. If he breaks through to the Jindan stage in the future, it will be difficult for him to cultivate so fast.

But Chen An is different. He has many methods at his disposal, and even after forming the Infant, he can continue to maintain this progress of cultivation.

"Brother!"

On the north mountain, Chen Weiyang's voice suddenly came, and from the noise, it seemed that Chen Qing had also come.

Chen An stepped out of the spiritual field and led the two to sit at the stone table in front of the cave.

"Why do you two have the time to come to me instead of taking care of your clan's affairs?"

Chen An asked with a smile. Recently, Chen Weiyang has been busy in the clan and has made a lot of efforts. Moreover, he and Chen Qing often discuss the family development experience and can learn from each other.

Although I don’t know the specific details, every time I see Chen Qing with a happy smile on his face, I can tell that he has benefited a lot from it.

Chen Weiyang stroked his beard and said excitedly, "Brother, you may not know that something happened in Lihuo Palace!"

"Oh? What happened?"

Chen An was very curious. Two years had passed and he didn't know how Xin Fenghai was doing.

"For some reason, Xin Fenghai of Lihuo Palace actually united with some of the sect's top leaders to fight against Cui Shuosheng. This guy does have some skills and has become somewhat powerful. Although he can't compete with Cui Shuosheng, he can still fight against him."

Chen Weiyang's face flushed with excitement. It was unclear whether he was happy to see Cui Shuosheng suffer a setback or if he saw some opportunity.

"Not only that."

Chen Qing added: "The wedding gift that Qingyun Sect originally prepared for Cui Shuosheng has now been put on hold. It seems that they are a little optimistic about Xin Fenghai and are currently in a wait-and-see state."

The fight between the two people in Lihuo Palace is no small matter and may determine the final change of the palace master.

It would be fine if Cui Shuosheng won, and everything would remain the same. But if he lost, it would affect the attitude of other sects in the six regions of the Far East towards him.

If things really don't go as planned, even the marriage will be called off in the end.

The two of them talked back and forth, and soon, Chen An had a grasp of the situation in Lihuo Palace.

However, they only care about the Lihuo Region and the Qingyun Region, but are unaware of the recent actions of the Jiyin Sect.

In order to prevent the two from getting flustered, Chen An did not tell them. After all, even if they knew, they could not help much.

He couldn't take care of the affairs of Lihuo Palace and Jiyin Sect, so he could only hold on to the area centered on Kuxiu Mountain.

Fortunately, these two things will not happen overnight, and he still has time to develop.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

In the fourth-level spiritual field, the lush and green third-level and fourth-level spiritual plants are deeply rooted and lush, competing for beauty and splendor, just like the Chen family now, which is thriving.

The tall fairy tree is like a moon surrounded by stars, standing right in the center of many spiritual plants, as if it is an emperor surrounded by three thousand beauties in his harem.

Chen An stood beside the thick trunk of the fairy tree and looked at it intently. Today, the growth progress bar of this fairy tree was full and it had already matured!
Through the lush branches, you can vaguely see seventeen jade-like fruits of the fairy tree hanging upside down under the branches.

The fourth-order immortal tree fruit and the next stage of cultivation techniques, the two complement each other and can directly reach the Nascent Soul stage!
Chen An took a deep breath and leaped forward.

After picking sixteen fruits, as expected, the cultivation methods of the fourth level of the Nine-Revolution Wheel flooded into his mind one after another. In less than a moment, the method reached perfection!

Next is the seventeenth one.
