Chapter 142: Fourth-level Talisman Paper, All Living Beings in the Region Were Slaughtered

In Beishan, a blood crocodile was imprisoned in a quiet cave. The blood soul fairy in his body absorbed it day by day, and his strong body gradually became thinner.

He has been trapped here for several years. He has accepted that he is not as skilled as others, but the fact that his magic power and body have been sealed for such a long time and he cannot move at all has really driven him crazy.

He even wants to die now.

"Damn you Chen An, don't fall into my hands again. If I do, I will make you feel what it means to be worse off than dead!"

While he was cursing, a figure that made him despair appeared in the cave.

"It seems that I am still too soft-hearted and didn't seal your eyes and mouth."

Chen An walked slowly closer, looking at the blood crocodile lying on the ground, unable to move, with a smile.

"Uh, you are joking, fellow Taoist. The monster will be suffocated to death if that happens. Without blood and fat, you will be the one who suffers."

The Blood Crocodile lowered his eyebrows and looked submissive, his expression was completely different from when he was scolding someone just now. There was nothing he could do, when you are under someone's roof you have to bow your head, this is the rule of being a demon.

"That's quite true. In order to make you more useful as fertilizer for my blood, I decided to open your seal."

Chen An touched his chin and made a decision immediately.

"Tsk, are you really that kind?"

"Of course, I always keep my word!" Chen An raised his eyebrows and said seriously.

The Blood Crocodile was delighted to see that the enemy did not seem to be making fun of him. As long as the seal on him was lifted, he would be able to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and use secret techniques to sneak away.

"what is this?"

He looked at Chen An taking out a pagoda carved from white jade and asked with a puzzled look.

"After the ban is lifted, this will be your home from now on."

Chen An sneered, then threw the exquisite pagoda towards the other party's head.

The exquisite pagoda spun around, and a dazzling light shone from the base, covering the entire body of the blood crocodile.

"Ah! My soul, what are you doing to me!"

The blood crocodile howled in pain and stared at Chen An with red eyes, as if it wanted to eat him.

No matter how he cursed, the Linglong Pagoda showed no mercy and continued to refine his soul until it became one with the Linglong Pagoda.

After a long time, the dazzling light blooming from the base suddenly swept over the blood crocodile's body and retracted into the tower, taking the entire monster in with it.

Seeing that he had successfully subdued the opponent, Chen An immediately waved his hand and grabbed the Linglong Pagoda.

Although this tower is only one foot high, its body is extremely delicate, even the doors and windows on it appear as if it was made one-to-one based on a certain tower.

"What did you do to me!"

Behind the window on the first floor of the pagoda, the blood crocodile's pair of scarlet eyes looked at Chen An outside in horror through the window.

There are five floors in the pagoda, and each floor can subdue a creature with Nascent Soul cultivation. Its life and death depends entirely on Chen An’s thoughts.

"From now on, you should stay in there well."

Chen An put away the pagoda. He had never shown any mercy to his enemies.

Now that the Blood Crocodile has been subdued and brought into the Linglong Pagoda, it will never be able to escape unless he dies.

After several months of recuperation, Ning Jianqin's health gradually recovered a lot.

Chen An also took the opportunity to use the Five Thunder Curse, and used it on Ning Jianqin according to the method he used to expel the five poisons on Chen Zhan before.

Five thunders entered her body and penetrated into her bone marrow, but this woman did not make a sound and endured the whole process, which made Chen An look at her with admiration.

"what?"

In the process of expelling the five poisons, Chen An discovered a remnant soul huddled in a corner in the female cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness, as if it could disintegrate at any time. Seeing that Ning Jianqin looked unaware of the situation, he did not reveal the matter.

After a long time, it was done.

"Fairy Ning has amazing perseverance. No wonder she was able to escape back with such serious injuries."

Chen An put away the Five Thunder Curse, looked at the black turbid air that filled the cave, blew a breath, and swept it all out. Soon after, it dissipated in the sky above Kuxiu Mountain.

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior."

Ning Jianqin took a few deep breaths, her pretty face covered with sweat. She tidied up her messy hair and clothes, then stood up and said.

It seemed easy just now, but later she couldn't help struggling a few times, and she seemed to be unable to bear it. Fortunately, Chen An expelled the five poisons in time and did not embarrass her.

"correct."

Ning Jianqin took out a Dream Crystal and presented it to Chen An: "You saved my life, this is my reward."

Chen An accepted it calmly. The Dreamland was one of the three main materials for building a teleportation array, so he had no reason to refuse.

But a piece less than the size of a fist was too little and he was not satisfied.

"Where did you get this Dream Crystal?"

Chen An asked, wasting energy to treat the other person for no reason, apart from a little appreciation, this matter accounted for most of his attention.

"To be honest, Senior, I bought it from the Qingwei Sect in Dongzhou at a high price."

Ning Jianqin did not hide anything and told the truth.

Chen An had also heard of the name of Qingwei Sect. Although it was not as good as the three major righteous sects, it had a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and several valuable mineral veins, so it was ranked among the best in Dongzhou.

Thinking of the righteous sects, Chen An couldn't help but ponder. The three major sects had the deepest foundation. He wondered if the two gods who chased and killed Jinwu last time were cultivators from the three major sects.

It has been several years since the Golden Crow left, and it is not clear what its current situation is. If it is really dead, what should be done with the Golden Crow egg?

have eaten?

Chen An was in a dilemma. He could only wait a little longer. What if the Golden Crow came back to look for its eggs and he could only find residues in the Golden Haired Tiger's feces? That would be a big trouble.

However, what he needs to do now is to collect materials for building a teleportation array so that Qingyun Domain can be connected with Dongzhou, and then collect more spiritual objects to strengthen himself.

"Since you have the channels, you can continue to contact Qingwei Sect after you go back and help me buy more Huanmeng Crystals. Is there any problem?"

Chen An gave an order that fourth-level spiritual objects are strategic resources for Nascent Soul-level sects. If there are no channels, people may not be willing to trade even if there are a lot of spiritual stones.

"Yes, I will do my best."

Ning Jianqin agreed to the task without any hesitation. Chen An had saved her life, so doing this task would not be a problem at all.

"Collect as much as you can. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you later."

Chen An threw a storage bag to the other party and instructed him that even though he trusted the other party's character, he did not give him too many spirit stones. Only enough to buy two pieces of Fantasy Dream Crystals of the same size as before.

Ning Jianqin's health is no longer serious, so Chen An naturally would not keep her in Kuxiu Mountain any longer.

The girl was tactful and took the storage bag, bowed and said goodbye. Then she twisted her slender waist and walked out of Kuxiu Mountain.

After a while, Chen An was the only one left in the cave.

He smiled lightly and waved his hand. A wisp of residual soul floated out from his sleeve. Looking at its appearance, it was surprisingly similar to that of the Old Ancestor Lihuo.

"Lihuo, if I hadn't been here, Ning Jianqin would have been killed by you!"

Chen An said with a playful look.

When he was removing the poison before, he found that the remaining soul of this person was huddled in Ning Jianqin's sea of ​​consciousness, and there was a tendency for it to take over another body. Fortunately, he discovered it in time and stopped it.

The remnant soul of Lihuo had a bitter face and forced a smile: "Daoyou, your spiritual awareness is extraordinary. You can actually discover my existence. However, my physical body was destroyed because of her. It is considered a bargain for me to take over her body!" Originally, the remnant soul of Lihuo barely escaped and possessed Ning Jianqin's body while dying. Later, most of the medicinal power of the elixir that Chen An fed to Ning Jianqin was absorbed by him, and only then did he recover a little bit of his strength.

However, he would not be willing to take over a woman's body unless he had no other choice.

"Cut the nonsense!"

Chen An stared at the other person, his tone was full of temptation: "I ask you, do you want to live?"

"I think, fellow Daoist, just prepare a body with excellent spiritual roots for me to possess. When I recover my strength, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future!"

"dream!"

Chen An smiled contemptuously. The Chen family only had a few talented young men. How could they give them to this old guy?
"Here is a ghost cultivation technique. If you want to survive, you can try practicing it. If you don't want to survive..."

When he said this, he took out a jade slip and looked at the remnant soul of Lihuo with a sneer on his face, as if he would turn it into ashes if the other party said no.

"I'll fix it!"

Ancestor Lihuo shuddered and made a choice subconsciously.

He was at the mercy of others and had no choice but to agree. Besides, this method would allow him to start over. This choice did not seem to be a disadvantage. At least his ghost body was much better than his current state of being neither human nor ghost.

Chen An threw the jade slip to the ancestor Lihuo, and then summoned the Linglong Tower. A dazzling light enveloped the area, and the remaining soul of Lihuo was taken in.

As long as we control this person, the Lihuo Palace will be in our pocket in the future.

The sun and the moon rotate, and the seasons come and go.

In the blink of an eye, spring and autumn in Kuxiu Mountain changed three times.

On this day, Chen An walked out of the cave and into the spiritual field, facing the bleak autumn wind.

After a few years, there was already a fourth-level spiritual plant in the entire spiritual field that was ready to be harvested.

Since it is not easy to ripen fourth-level spiritual plants, in addition to Yu Linglong, which must be ripened, Chen An focused most of his energy on Xuantian Qingma.

Xuantian Qingma is used to make fourth-level talisman paper. According to past experience, it is mostly related to talismans.

After careful cultivation, the Xuantian Qingma in the spiritual field has not only matured, but has also produced seeds.

Chen An walked forward, carefully took off a few spirit seeds on it, and then harvested them.

[Harvest a 3-year-old Xuantian Qingma plant, obtain fourth-level talisman papers]

as predicted.

The three pieces of talisman paper I got were more like jade than paper.

Although it still has the softness of paper, it is delicate and translucent, exuding a crystal luster, quite similar to jade.

Chen An put away the three fourth-level talisman papers, then took out a Golden Crow grass, shattered it with his magic power, and buried it in the soil.

There were not too many rotten spiritual plants, so I had to use the Golden Crow Grass, which had the highest output, instead. After all, it was more effective.

After preparing the soil, plant a few Xuantian Qingma seeds that had just been harvested.

Chen An was not in a hurry to use the magic of calling the wind and rain, but turned around and came to Yu Linglong.

In recent days, Chen Shuang was not on the mountain. After she learned that Chen An had mined the underground fire, she took the alchemy furnace and went to the cave in the mine to practice alchemy in seclusion.

This girl does have some talent in alchemy. After seven or eight years of study, she has barely been able to refine third-level pills and has become a true third-level alchemist.

Of course, the reason for the rapid advancement has a lot to do with Chen An’s continuous provision of elixirs.

Fortunately, I have made it through and will become a real third-level alchemist in the future.

Chen An glanced at several Yu Linglong plants. Under his careful cultivation, the other Yu Linglong plants grew very little each year, but one of them had already grown to Chen An's waist height.

The crystal branches and leaves are lush and green. A thumb-sized ball of milky white gas lingers between the branches and leaves, dancing up and down like a cheerful firefly.

Perhaps it sensed Chen An's approach, the branches and leaves of Yu Linglong shook a few times, actually hiding the milky white mass.

Chen An smiled lightly. The milky white gas was Linglong's essence. It was originally a catalyst that Yu Linglong used to nourish herself and grow towards a higher age. He would instinctively protect it.

The exquisite essence contains tremendous energy, which is more than enough for Nascent Soul cultivators to use for cultivation.

Naturally Chen An would not be polite. He had raised Yu Linglong for so many years just for this thing. He then sucked in the palm of his hand and took over the Linglong's essence.

Yu Linglong, who had lost her treasure, shook her branches and leaves, swaying left and right, as if looking for the essence that she had been born with so much difficulty.

After cleaning up, Chen An used his magic to call down a spiritual rain, nourishing the slowly growing spiritual plants and the Xuantian Qingma seeds that had just been planted.

Upon seeing this, many members of the Chen family hurriedly took out containers to hold the spiritual rain.

Although the spiritual rain contains many impurities, it is still third-level spiritual water and is quite useful for spiritual plants.

Take it to Yunwu Valley and water it, and you will definitely have a good harvest.

After returning to the cave, Chen An did not refine the Linglong essence immediately, but instead used his telepathy to call Chen Kebao, Chen Long, Chen Wen and Chen Rou over.

Last year, Chen Wen and Chen Rou also entered the Jindan stage of cultivation, adding two more real people to the Chen family.

I once promised these four people that I would teach them the Four Symbols Sword Formation after they reached Dan stage. Now is the time to fulfill my promise.

Of course, the so-called passing on of the Dharma meant that Chen An gave each of them one of the Four Symbols Swords, and threw the jade slips of the Four Symbols Sword Formation to them, allowing them to comprehend it on their own.

"The Four Symbols Sword Formation is extremely powerful. If you practice it to a certain level, it can be comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, I only discovered this sword formation by chance and have never practiced it. You will still need to work hard on your own in the future."

Chen An reminded that if they could cooperate seamlessly and form a sword formation, they could also take on more things.

"Haha, doesn't that mean that the four of us will have a chance to fight with the Lihuo Patriarch in the future?"

Chen Kebao stroked the Qinglong Sword and couldn't let it go.

Chen Long and others nearby also nodded in agreement.

Ancestor Lihuo is dead!

Chen An was about to say something else when he suddenly noticed two figures outside the mountain, walking hurriedly towards the North Mountain.

His expression lit up with joy, and he immediately ordered: "The sword formation has been passed to you, so go down and practice well first."

"Yes!"

The four of them retreated.

After a while, Chen Weiyang and Chen Shusheng walked into the cave and greeted Chen An.

Chen An led the two to sit down and asked with a little expectation: "What did you two gain from your trip to Dongzhou?"

Several years ago, Chen An sent these two people to Dongzhou to collect various spiritual seeds and materials.

After all these years, I'm finally back!

"I did get some harvest. The Dongzhou sect has strict control over the fourth-level spirit seeds. I managed to get three ginseng golden leaf seeds after much effort. However, I did get a lot of third-level spirit seeds, with no less than twenty species. I even collected a small amount of red gold and void stone."

Chen Weiyang took out a storage bag and presented it.

Chen An took it happily and after a quick look he felt that although the trip was expensive, it was worth it.

Turning around, he noticed that Chen Weiyang and Chen Shusheng looked strange, and asked in confusion, "Did something happen on the way?"

Chen Weiyang sighed, his expression gloomy, his eyes showing a bit of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "You don't know, on the way back, I saw the Changhe Sect, the northernmost of the six regions of the Far East, full of corpses and death. There was not a single living creature!"
