Chapter 135: Ginseng and Golden Leaves, Two Crocodiles Open the Copper Coffin
Peiying Pill is a precious elixir that assists Nascent Soul cultivators in their cultivation. It is rare in the six regions of the Far East. Even the Lihuo Ancestor standing nearby is salivating over it.

Upon seeing this, the other demon kings and true kings also presented their gifts.

Chen An calmly accepted the gifts presented by several people. At this time, Chen Kebao also bought a desk, and he motioned for Blood Crocodile to take a seat.

The old giant crocodile looked at the Lihuo Patriarch who was sitting next to him and said with a chuckle, "Lihuo, long time no see."

"Haha, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you many times."

Ancestor Lihuo looked at the other person's decadent appearance and sneered.

In response to his words, the Giant Crocodile Ancestor smiled awkwardly and did not say anything. He looked at the table full of delicacies and a small jar of spiritual wine on the corner of the table, his nose twitched and he said in surprise: "Liuli wine!"

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. I have collected several jars of glass wine, and you are in for a treat."

Chen An opened the jar of wine and poured himself a glass.

"Haha, great fun, great wine!"

The Blood Crocodile drank the entire glass of colored wine in one gulp and clapped his hands in admiration.

Soon, under the hosting of Chen Qing, the banquet officially began.

During this period, Chen An, who was the Nascent Soul of the Chen family, naturally had to speak.

Perhaps because he was used to keeping a low profile, he did not want to be too high-profile, so he simply stayed in Kuxiu Mountain to practice hard until he formed a fetus. He gave a general account of the matter, encouraged the monks with a few words and left it at that.

He spoke casually, but the monks on the peak were excited when they heard it.

"Could it be that persistent and unremitting hard practice really has such an effect?"

"Wake up, they are just talking. Without sufficient resources for cultivation, you won't be able to form a pill even if you sit there until you die, let alone form a fetus."

"No, Senior Chen only has the talent of low-grade spiritual roots and rarely goes out. The Chen family is just an ordinary foundation-building family. If his hard training has no effect, how can this be explained?"

"Is this really the case?"

The monks who had previously questioned the truth fell into self-doubt, secretly guessing that if they persisted like a drop of water wearing away a stone, there might really be a qualitative change.

Chen An could not hide the noise outside, but he did not pay much attention to it. He was drinking happily with a few people when Chen Qing came to report.

"Master Yuheng of the Wanjian Sect is seeking an audience outside the mountain."

"Ten Thousand Sword Sect? True Lord Yu Heng?"

Chen An couldn't help but feel a little confused. He remembered that he had never had any contact with the cultivators of Wanjian Sect, and he didn't even know this True Lord Yuheng.

The Lihuo Patriarch next to him remained calm on the surface, but quietly sent a message: "I have had contact with Yuheng Zhenjun of Wanjian Sect before. I'm afraid he came here for these demon kings."

Chen An raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, ordered Chen Qing to bring the other party in, and asked Chen Kebao to buy another white jade table.

At the same time, he moved his mind and whispered a few words to Chen Qing.

After the latter understood, he glanced at Master Qingshan sitting at the table below, nodded, and went down.

Not long after, a middle-aged cultivator at the third level of Nascent Soul, with a handsome appearance, fair skin, and a three-foot long beautiful beard, flew in with a smile on his face.

He saw five demon kings and two true kings sitting in the hall. His originally arrogant face froze and he immediately lowered his body and bowed to the head of the hall, saying, "This must be Taoist Chen An, I am passing by here and heard that you are holding a ceremony to form an infant, so I came to pay you a visit. However, I came in a hurry and can only give you a small gift."

He spoke modestly, but the jade box he handed over was not sealed, revealing a spiritual plant inside that was golden in color and had leaves shaped like ginseng.

"Ginseng golden leaf!"

"A three hundred year old fourth-level elixir!"

"The sects in the heart of Dongzhou are indeed very wealthy."

Ginseng golden leaves are the main ingredients for refining the Peiying Pill. They are extremely rare at normal times, and those that are three hundred years old are even rarer. Their value is even higher than the Peiying Pill that the Blood Crocodile gave them before.

Even for the Nascent Soul Sect in the heart of Dongzhou, it is a priceless spiritual plant, a gift that is enough to make a Nascent Soul cultivator excited.

"Fellow Daoist Yuheng is too polite. Hurry up and take a seat, and have a taste of my Kuxiushan Liuli wine!"

Chen An accepted the ginseng golden leaves. Since the other party was so generous, he couldn't be negligent.

Not long after, the seven Yuanyings were toasting each other, and most of the jars of glass wine prepared by Chen An were quickly finished.

True Lord Yuheng was quite talkative, perhaps due to the effect of the Liuli wine, he talked incessantly about things related to the hinterland of Dongzhou, which also broadened the horizons of those present.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the feast lasted for a long time and everyone was almost done.

The smile on Yuheng Zhenjun's ruddy face became even more intense. He looked at Chen An, then at the other demon kings, and said with a smile, "Daoyou Giant Crocodile, I heard that one of your ancestors was a divine king. Is that true?"

Yuanying is the True Lord, and Shenjun is a respectful title for the cultivator who has reached the stage of Shenhua.

"Of course it's true. How can it be false?"

The old giant crocodile drank a lot of glass wine, shaking his huge head, and said: "My crocodile ancestors once roamed across East Continent. If they hadn't been impulsive and started a war, how could they have fallen to this point?"

"It is said that the crocodile god left a legacy for his descendants. I wonder if you have found it over the years?"

"inherited?"

The old crocodile was shocked, and he sobered up a little. He looked alert and said, "I was wondering why you came all the way here to celebrate. It turns out you are planning to attack my demon clan!"

"How dare you say that to me? Isn't your purpose of coming here also to inherit the legacy?"

True Lord Yuheng ignored the surprised looks of the others and continued to talk, "I have searched the Black Wind Mountains and the six regions of the Far East but couldn't find it. And this Blood Crocodile Demon Lord came here from the Northern Continent, hundreds of thousands of miles away. Don't tell me he is just visiting relatives. As a demon, he came to participate in the human race's infant formation ceremony. He must have some ulterior motive. If I am not mistaken, the inheritance should be in the hands of Fellow Daoist Chen."

The giant crocodile and the blood crocodile were slightly stunned and looked at Chen An involuntarily.

Chen An, who became the center of attention, felt a chill in his heart. He glanced at the stunned Jindan group and waved his hand to cast a magical restriction to separate the two parties.

He said with a playful expression: "So what if it's in my hands? Do you think you're going to take it by force?"

Yu Heng Zhen Jun smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you are joking. No matter who has the inheritance, I came here just to trade for a pill to break through the bottleneck."

"You may not know this yet, but there may be a few Nascent Soul Pills left behind by the ancestors of the crocodile clan. One of them can help a cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul break through the bottleneck."

"By the way, I have a fourth-level forbidden-breaking talisman that can help you open the secret seal as soon as possible."

Chen An was slightly surprised when he heard this. This guy knew a lot and it seemed that he came prepared.

But suddenly someone came to share a piece of the pie. He was thinking about it when he heard the Blood Crocodile Demon King remind him, "Daoyou, don't agree to him. The restriction will be broken sooner or later. We can't lose an Infant Breaking Pill in vain. On the contrary, the Giant Crocodile and I have the key to open the copper coffin. Without it, none of you can open it."

"Fellow Daoist Blood Crocodile, you are joking. I am not greedy for elixirs for no reason. If you think of me, you can give me a discount on the Infant-Breaking Pill. If not, I won't say anything. I will give you a cent less than what you deserve."

True Lord Yuheng waved his hand and explained.

"This"

For a moment, the two crocodile monsters hesitated.

After all, if you have this kind of medicine, who would easily sell it?

The Infant-Breaking Pill can indeed help cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage break through the bottleneck, and the effect is immediate, but there is a price to pay for taking this pill.

This is based on the premise of sacrificing one's own potential. It is easy to break through, but it will be more difficult to cultivate to the next level. If you are unlucky, you may not make any progress in your cultivation in this lifetime.

"I don't have any objection, what do you two think?"

Chen An asked, crossing his arms.

He was able to break through steadily, so he naturally wouldn't take this kind of elixir, but he would be happy to see it exchanged for other resources. The two giant crocodiles' expressions moved slightly, as if they were communicating with each other to discuss the matter.

After a moment, the old crocodile said, "Let me make this clear first. If your stuff doesn't excite me, I won't sell it to you. Also, the proceeds from the secret stash will be divided equally among the three of us. Do you have any objection?"

He was referring to Blood Crocodile, Chen An and the other two.

"I want half!"

Chen An did not give in at all. After all, the Infant-Breaking Pill was not something he needed.

“That’s a little bit.”

"boom!"

A huge bronze coffin fell into the hall, exuding an ancient and timeless atmosphere, which made the two crocodile monsters slightly excited.

"If it doesn't work, I'll put it away." Chen An said with a smile.

"Four points, no more!"

"Okay, but I need to pick one first."

"alright."

After some bargaining, the discussion was completed.

With Chen An's permission, Yuheng Zhenren walked forward, felt around the bronze coffin, and tried to use his own magic power to dissipate it a few times, as if testing it.

After fiddling with it for a while, he took out a black talisman with strange runes engraved on it.

It was thrown towards the bronze coffin. A black light flashed, and instantly the restriction on the bronze coffin was eliminated by about half.

Chen An secretly estimated that it could probably be equivalent to several months of his time.

It has to be said that sometimes you cannot solve all problems by yourself alone, and a little help from external forces will greatly improve your efficiency.

I saw that Master Yuheng's expression relaxed, as if he had determined the strength of the ban, and then he took out twenty talismans to break the ban one after another.

After about a quarter of an hour, the restriction on the bronze coffin completely disappeared.

Yuheng Zhenjun still didn't believe it and went forward to try it, confirming that the coffin lid could not be opened easily.

This scene made the giant crocodile and the two monsters look excited.

Without further ado, they took out two crocodile teeth and used the power of their blood to try to open the coffin lid.

Immediately, the bronze coffin emitted a bloody light. In the dim light, a giant crocodile seemed to emerge from the blood light, roaring towards the sky, shocking the old ancestor Lihuo who was at the edge of the room.

He originally came to celebrate the ceremony, but didn't expect to be involved in such trouble in the middle of the trip. Fortunately, he was not involved.

He just hoped that nothing unexpected would happen, and that he could leave here quickly after this matter was settled.

The two crocodiles activated their crocodile teeth, and in less than a few breaths, the coffin lid slowly slid down by itself, revealing a blood crocodile about ten feet long inside.

This blood crocodile still has its flesh, blood and scales intact, and looks lifelike. If it hadn't lost its breath of life, it would have been no different from an ordinary crocodile monster.

Even though he had been dead for many years, the mere presence of his corpse still made the Demon King and True Lord present feel a bit of oppression.

Chen An looked intently and saw a jade slip and a medicine bottle on both sides of the blood crocodile's head.

On its side was a crocodile tail like a steel whip, and the overwhelming spiritual pressure was blowing in its face, its power was almost as strong as Chen An's Blood Sea Flute.

This is obviously a spiritual treasure. It is estimated that the Crocodile Ancestor used his own tail to refine it after he broke through to the divine level and transformed for the second time.

"According to the prior agreement, I will choose first."

Chen An reminded and picked up the jade slip.

Seeing this, the Blood Crocodile became a little uneasy. His eyes flashed with ferocity, and his demonic power swept through the entire hall. He roared, "Then let's see if you have the ability to take it. Giant Crocodile, why are you still standing there? Do you really want to let this man take the inheritance?"

The old crocodile shook his head and sighed: "You are too impulsive."

"impulse?"

Blood Crocodile looked at his side, including Xun Liang, Man Niu and Shui Chan, the five demon kings, and said contemptuously: "We are five demons, and they are only three people. What is there to be afraid of? Have you really become senile and confused?"

The giant crocodile remained silent, and the three Xunliang monsters stood behind him, looking as if they were not involved.

At some point, Chen An held the Eight Spirit Sword in his hand and asked coldly, "What's going on? Are you five planning to rob us?"

He waved his hand, calming down Yuheng and Lihuo who were eager to try behind him, and signaled them not to be anxious.

"You are just a human cultivator who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage. If you obediently offer me the remains of my demon ancestors, I will forgive you. Otherwise, I will let you have a taste of my blood crocodile's power!"

The blood crocodile's eyes flashed red, and its body twisted. A steel whip behind it swept towards Chen An, and gusts of evil wind swept around. Several cracks suddenly appeared in the hall that had just been built not long ago.

With his Nascent Soul cultivation at the third level and the support of four demon kings, he was not afraid of this battle at all.

"clang!"

Chen An swung the Eight Spirit Sword, and the sword body vibrated and hummed, as if it could not bear the weight.

The sword's spirituality was damaged when it was undergoing the tribulation, and its power decreased, so it could only barely block the opponent's crocodile tail.

"Hiss, you have some skills, but that's all you have."

The corner of the blood crocodile's mouth twitched, and its tail trembled slightly a few times. Then, he clenched his big hand and a blood-red sword appeared, which was not much smaller than Chen An's body.

A red glow suddenly appeared on the blade, as if a blood snake was lingering around it, with an overwhelming aura that was comparable to a spiritual treasure.

A fierce look flashed in the monster's eyes. He raised his sword and chopped down at the human cultivator in front of him.

Chen An was not panicked when he saw this. He had an idea and a tiny blood shadow flew out from his body and rushed forward to fight.

Compared with the two, the latter is like a thin needle and is not worth mentioning at all.

But in a flash, a melodious flute sound was heard, echoing throughout the hall.

"You still have the time to play the flute after fighting me!"

The Blood Crocodile was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that the moving flute sound was both bloodthirsty and brutal. His blood surged throughout his body, and he felt that his body was about to explode.

"what!"

Hearing the blood crocodile's painful cry, the giant crocodile monsters who had long been hiding far away shook their heads helplessly: "I told you long ago that we are no match for him, but you insist on forcing him."

Xunliang was standing aside with a smile on his face. Somehow, he felt a bit happy when he saw others suffering from the Blood Sea Flute.

Ignoring the blood crocodile that collapsed on the ground, Chen An put away the jade slip and probed his spiritual sense into it.

After checking, he was slightly moved, but he suppressed his joy and checked the jade bottle in the giant coffin again, and found three Infant-Breaking Pills in it.

"I want this jade slip and the crocodile tail magic treasure. Do you have any objections?"

"no problem!"

Seeing his powerful strength, Giant Crocodile and Yuheng didn't say anything.
