Chapter 134: Congratulations from all sides, exquisite essence and infant cultivation pills

The old crocodile has been gone for many days and now he is finally back.

Chen An stood up and went out to greet them.

"Fellow Daoist Crocodile, please bring the Divine Mud."

The old crocodile took out a storage bag with a painful look on his face, but did not hand it over immediately. Instead, he asked, "Where is the Millennium Magic Grass I wanted? Did you bring it with you?"

He really suffered a great loss in this transaction, but the deadline was approaching and there was nothing he could do.

The lifespan of monsters is longer than that of human cultivators. He still has a hundred years to live, but for the Monster King, it is just time to take a few more naps.

"That being said, how could I miss Daoist friend's Magical Demon Grass? Although Chen is not a gentleman, I still have some integrity."

The other party looked as if he was afraid of being cheated, which really amused Chen An.

He turned his palm over, revealing a three-foot-long verdant spiritual plant, emitting an aura that aroused the giant crocodile's primitive desires.

Seeing that the old crocodile's eyes were red and his breathing was rapid, Chen An seemed to be impatient, so he quickly completed the transaction to prevent anything bad from happening.

The old giant crocodile realized that he had lost his composure, smiled awkwardly, took a deep breath, and immediately put away the Phantom Demon Grass carefully.

"By the way, fellow Daoist Crocodile, I will hold a baby-forming ceremony here in three months. If you have nothing to do, you can come and join in the fun."

Chen An will need the other party in the future, so he plans to use this opportunity to make friends with him.

But he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. This old crocodile had just obtained the Magic Demon Grass and might not have the leisure to do so.

"Oh? Really? I just happened to be free and had nothing to do, so it wouldn't hurt to come and help you, fellow Taoist."

The old giant crocodile opened his huge mouth, revealing his broken and yellowed teeth, and responded.

Chen An was slightly startled, and said, "Then I'll be waiting for you. Fellow Daoist Crocodile, I have something else to do, so I won't stay with you any longer."

After saying that, Chen An turned around and went back to Kuxiu Mountain.

"I came here in a hurry last time and didn't realize there was a secret place in the valley over there!"

The old giant crocodile stuck out his scarlet tongue, licked his broken and yellowed teeth, turned his head and took a deep look in the direction of Yunwu Valley, muttering.

The corner of his mouth, which was covered with cracked scales, curled up slightly, and he turned and flew back to the swamp in the Black Wind Mountains.

Seeing him coming back, countless crocodiles jumped out of the swamp, from one to three levels, to welcome his return.

Now that she has obtained the Millennium Magic Grass, she can give birth to children and extend her lifespan with the help of the blood rejuvenation technique.

He didn't know whether the secret realm was related to the relics left by his ancestors, but the secret realm was there, so there was no need to rush. He could slowly work on it after extending his lifespan.

He was in a good mood and was about to dive into the swamp when suddenly a pair of crocodile eyes became stern and looked in a certain direction.

"Blood Crocodile, what are you doing here?"

He immediately became alert, but just as he finished speaking, a crocodile-headed demon king slowly appeared.

Just by looking at the blood-red crocodile scales on his body, one can tell that the other person is in his prime, unlike him who looks old.

The blood crocodile looked gloomy and sighed, "I haven't seen you for hundreds of years. You have become so weak and dilapidated. If you had gone to Beizhou with me, you might be in better shape than you are now."

"Humph, how can you be that strong? You are just surviving."

The old giant crocodile smiled miserably and said sadly, "You have come all the way from Northern Continent to the Black Wind Mountains. You didn't come here just to laugh at me, did you?"

The blood crocodile shook his head and spread out his palm, revealing a white and shining crocodile tooth, and said with a smile: "I have obtained another crocodile tooth of my ancestor in Beizhou. How about it, are you interested in searching for the remains of my ancestor with me?"

Seeing the other crocodile tooth, the old giant crocodile couldn't help but tremble.

According to the legend among the tribe, when the ancestors left the secret treasure, in order to prevent others from snooping, they had set up means. It can only be opened with the blood of the blood crocodile clan and the help of two crocodile teeth of the ancestors, which is equivalent to two keys.

Otherwise, if you force the secret treasure to be opened, it will be automatically destroyed and you will get nothing in the end.

However, after being passed down for many years, one of the two crocodile teeth was lost along the way. Unexpectedly, the Blood Crocodile found it in Beizhou.

The old crocodile suppressed his excitement and said calmly: "We have the key, but the secret has not been found yet, so it's all in vain."

"After all these years, you don't have any clues at all?" Blood Crocodile said with his eyes narrowed.

"I have some clues, but I'm not sure. I need to confirm it."

"Oh? Where?" asked the Blood Crocodile with his eyes flashing.

"Tell you I can."

The old crocodile raised his lips and said, "But you have to listen to me this time."

"You old guy still likes to keep everything in your own hands."

Blood Crocodile did not refuse: "It's okay to listen to you, but we have to divide the secret treasure equally."

"No problem! You can leave now, and we'll contact each other later."

The blood crocodile was surprised and asked, "Why not act quickly?"

"No hurry, I have some personal matters to take care of."

The blood crocodile's nose twitched and it smelled a familiar scent. It then looked at the other party with a strange expression, but did not say much. It turned around and left the swamp.

Practice hard outside the mountain.

After the giant crocodile old man left, Chen An suddenly returned here.

He looked at the Cloud Mist Valley, then at the direction the other party had left, and wondered, "This old crocodile seems to be quite interested in the secret realm of the Cloud Mist Valley. I wonder what he is planning."

"Could it be."

There are only a few third-level spiritual plants and third-level minerals in the secret realm. There is nothing useful to the Demon King. If there is anything useful, it is probably the giant bronze coffin.

Thinking of this, Chen An flashed back to Beishan and entered the cave.

A layer of magical restriction was set up at the entrance of the cave, and the huge bronze coffin was released, and an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere wafted in the air.

The upper layer of restriction is still there and has not been worn away much.

Even with Chen An's profound Nascent Soul cultivation, it would probably take him a few more years to break this restriction.

What is certain is that this restriction was set up by a cultivator who has reached the Divine Transformation stage.

Judging from the giant crocodile old man’s previous performance, this thing might have some connection with the demon clan.

"There's no rush for this. Let's wait until we meet each other next time and test the waters a little bit."

Chen An immediately put away the huge coffin, released his spiritual sense, and swept towards the spiritual field.

Chen Shuang sat in the middle of eight exquisite jade Linglongs, with the yin and yang energy circulating continuously, slowly advancing her cultivation towards the ninth level of foundation building.

Chen An is more concerned about these Yu Linglong plants, not just because they are fourth-level spiritual plants.

After this spiritual plant has grown for a thousand years, its yin and yang energies will grow to a certain extent and produce exquisite essence, which can assist Nascent Soul cultivators in their cultivation. This is what is most fundamental to Chen An.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such good care of Chen Shuang.

Three months flew by.

On this festive day of the Infant-Born Ceremony, Kuxiu Mountain was no longer deserted. The whole mountain was filled with red flags and crowds of people, and everywhere was filled with joy. On the top of the mountain, the attic was gone, replaced by a simple and ancient-style hall rising from the ground.

In the wide area at the entrance of the hall, there are rows of desks, at least two or three hundred of them.

Some of the wooden tables are already occupied by guests, whose cultivation level is at least at the foundation-building stage.

Many people were shocked and puzzled about the sudden appearance of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Chen family.

"I remember that the Chen family was only a foundation-building family. They were lucky enough to produce a Jindan a few years ago. How come a Yuanying senior suddenly appeared?"

"You don't know this."

A middle-aged cultivator waved a folding fan with a lifelike portrait of a naked woman painted on it. He could not help but look back and said, "Senior Chen An was a cultivator of the same generation as me, but he was gifted. He had already condensed his infant before I even formed my elixir. It's really sad to recall this."

"What peers? Xu Ziwei, stop flattering yourself."

A burly foundation-building cultivator gently stroked a flying tiger lying next to him and said with contempt, "In terms of age, this Senior Chen is a cultivator of a younger generation than the two of us. He has formed a fetus at the age of less than 200, but he is the first person in our Qingyun Domain from ancient times to the present!"

Xu Ziwei snorted coldly and said, "Your vision is too narrow. Let alone Qingyun Territory, I'm afraid he can be called the number one in the six Far East Territories."

Wang Feihu raised his gray eyebrows slightly and said unhappily, "Xu Ziwei, I think your Xu family has become less and less decent since old man Xu Yuanlang passed away!"

"What did you say!"

"Calm down, both of you. Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Zhenjun are sitting inside. If you want to quarrel, go outside, but don't involve us." The cultivator next to them saw that the two were quarreling more and more fiercely, so he hurriedly stopped them.

Xu Ziwei and Wang Feihu glanced in the oppressive direction, their faces froze, and then they immersed themselves in enjoying the delicacies on the table.

Different from the foundation-building monks outside the hall, the monks sitting in front of the tables on both sides of the hall are all at the Jindan stage, and all of them are top figures from the six sects.

Among them, Master Qingshan, Fairy Hongye and Zhao Hu sat together.

After all these years, Zhao Hu has also formed a golden elixir and become a real person. When he looked at Chen An, his eyes were full of admiration and shock.

At the head of the hall was a white jade chair, on which Chen An sat, with five identical white jade tables on his left and right.

All those who were powerful in their respective sects now sat upright, not daring to breathe.

Seeing this, Chen An smiled and said, "Don't be so reserved, everyone. Everyone is not here yet, please make yourself at home."

He glanced at Ning Jianqin of Tianyin Pavilion and saw that she was alone. He couldn't help but ask, "Fairy Ning, I heard that the two Tianyin Qins have always been a pair. Why didn't you see Brother Zou Ang when we met twice?"

Ning Jianqin and Zou Ang from Tianyin Pavilion are a pair of Taoist lovers who jointly manage Tianyin Pavilion. They each hold a magical guqin in their hands, and when they join forces, they can even fight against the late Jindan stage with the cultivation base of the middle Jindan stage. Because of their reputation, they are called the Tianyin Twin Qins.

It was no secret in the six regions of the Far East that the couple always went out together and were inseparable.

The other party had come once when he was forming the Dan last time. He thought that Zou Ang just had something urgent to do, but this time there was still no sign of him. Chen An couldn't help but feel confused.

Ning Jianqin's face was originally stern, and after hearing this, her pretty face was filled with sorrow. She sighed quietly, "To be honest, senior, many years ago, my husband and I went out and encountered the Five Poison Demon Woman of the Five Poison Sect. My husband wasted his essence to cover my escape, and fell into the hands of the demon woman. I don't know what happened to him to this day."

Upon hearing this, the monks present were all surprised and started talking about it.

"It turns out that Brother Zou's absence for many years is not because he is in seclusion, nor is he looking for a new love."

"If we fall into the hands of the devil, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Five Poison Demon Woman, this...hiss."

Chen An's face also tightened. He didn't expect that Zou Ang would fall into the hands of the devil, and that was the Five Poison Demon that everyone feared like a tiger.

Chen An had also heard of this evil woman. She was the Nascent Soul Demon Lord of the Five Poison Sect. She was good at using poisonous insects and poison techniques, which were somewhat similar to the methods of the Nanzhou poison masters.

The reason why the other party is notorious is not only that she often bullies the weak, but also that she has a very special poisonous insect. Once the poison is planted in a man, he will become infatuated with her and become her slave, allowing her to control him.

It is said that the Five Poison Demon Woman also practices the art of collecting and replenishing energy, and most of the male monks under her control will become the cauldrons of her collection and replenishing energy.

When Chen An heard this tragic experience, the corner of his mouth twitched and he stopped asking questions.

Zou Ang was abducted by this evil woman. Even if he didn't die, it would be no different from being dead.

Just at this time, Patriarch Lihuo brought the monks of Lihuo Palace to participate in the ceremony, which solved the problem.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I am late. Please don't blame me. Please don't blame me."

The spirited Patriarch Lihuo walked into the hall, followed by his three disciples Cui Shuosheng, Wu Jianquan and Xin Fenghai.

The three of them are old acquaintances.

Cui Shuosheng had a complicated expression and looked restless, while Xin Fenghai looked shocked and surprised. On the contrary, Wu Jianquan had a calm expression and looked like he didn't know Chen An at all.

The three brothers took their seats one after another under the guidance of Chen Kebao.

"It's not too late, Fellow Daoist Lihuo, please take a seat."

Chen An pointed to the white jade table on the right and said.

"Are there any other fellow Taoists?"

Ancestor Lihuo looked at the five desks on his left and right, his face slightly surprised and a bit of doubt revealed between his brows.

"Please wait for a moment, they will be here soon."

As they were talking, suddenly, several sky-high demonic auras approached rapidly from outside Kuxiu Mountain, shocking the guests on the top of the mountain so much that they almost scattered.

At this time, Chen Kebao and Chen Qing hurriedly said in front of the hall: "Don't be alarmed, these seniors are my family's elders and friends, everyone just drink and feast."

Not only them, but even the Jindan in the hall turned pale and looked at Chen An in confusion.

The Lihuo Patriarch was so shocked that he sat up, also looking as if he was facing a great enemy, and said: "Hey, Fellow Daoist Chen, why did you call these demon kings here as well!"

He knew the demon kings in the Black Wind Mountains very well, and he knew exactly who was coming.

"We are all neighbors, we should visit each other more often, please be patient, brother Lihuo."

Chen An sipped his tea with a normal expression. Before he put down the cup, he saw five tall figures walk in. The demonic aura around them instantly enveloped the entire hall.

Under this kind of oppression, except for Cui Shuosheng and three others from Lihuo Palace who relied on their higher cultivation and performed better, the rest of the Jindan cultivators used their internal energy to resist the evil spirit.

Fairy Hongye and Zhao Hu, who had just formed their elixir not long ago, looked extremely pale and seemed to be struggling.

Fortunately, the five demons had no intention of bullying these youngsters. After coming in, they restrained most of the demonic energy in their bodies, which made them feel a little better.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen, this demon king has come uninvited, I hope you won't be unwelcome here."

A crocodile-headed demon king with a blood-red body opened his mouth wide and laughed.

"Anyone who comes is a guest. How can we not welcome them?"

Chen An waved his hand, signaling Chen Kebao to add another desk, and looked at the giant crocodile old man next to him with a puzzled look.

The old giant crocodile hurriedly introduced, "This is the Blood Crocodile Demon King from my clan. He came from Northern Continent to visit relatives in the Black Wind Mountains. He happened to run into the Infant Formation Ceremony, so I brought him here to join in the fun."

Visiting relatives?

Chen An smiled slightly, but didn't believe it completely.

"Oh, by the way, this is a Nurturing Pill that I got by chance. I'll give it to Fellow Daoist Chen as a gift for the Nurturing Ceremony."

The Blood Crocodile Demon King took out a jade bottle and handed it to Chen An.
