Chapter 143: Yuanying Level , Great Harvest of Spiritual Fields
Chen Weiyang was so excited when he spoke that his whole body was shaking, as if he had recalled the horrific scene, and the fear in his expression became even more intense.
"All dead? Are you sure?"
Chen An's pupils shrank when he heard this. There were not only thousands of cultivators from the Changhe Sect in one area, but also a large number of mortals. It was not an easy task to kill them all.
Besides, who could be so cruel as to not even spare mortals?
It is probably a demon monk!
"That's absolutely right! My scholar and I went to the Changhe Territory Mortal Dynasty and the Changhe Sect's headquarters to take a look. We saw dry bones everywhere, with no flesh or blood. It looked like a blood sacrifice. There is absolutely no falsehood in this matter!"
This was probably the first time that Chen Weiyang had seen such a horrifying scene. His voice was very sharp when he mentioned this.
Chen An's heart sank, thinking to himself that this was not good. The Six Regions of the Far East might have been targeted by a demon cultivator, who was trying to cultivate some kind of magic skill.
He guessed that the biggest suspect was the old ancestor Ji Yin, but other demon cultivators were also possible.
However, the blood sacrifice method of the Changhe Sect was quite strange, and even Chen Weiyang had never seen it before.
After half a day, the three of them still couldn't come to a conclusion.
"I know this well."
Chen An looked thoughtful, and waved his hand, saying, "You've been tired from traveling all the way, go back and rest first, you stay here first, scholar."
"it is good."
Chen Weiyang glanced at his grandson and then said goodbye and left.
Chen Shusheng now has a ruddy complexion and a dignified bearing, completely devoid of the sickly look he had before when he was parasitized by the Blood Soul Immortal.
As early as after Chen An advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he took action to drain the Blood Soul Immortal in his body, and the hidden danger had long been eliminated. Instead, after a few years, his cultivation broke through and reached the third level of Jindan, one step ahead of Chen Shuang and far surpassing Chen Kebao.
At this time, Chen Shusheng seemed a little nervous. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Chen An.
Seeing that he was reserved, Chen An smiled lightly, brewed a pot of spiritual tea, and poured two cups.
After drinking the spiritual tea and chatting for a while, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
"Ever since I promised your grandfather to take you as my disciple, I have been busy with the matter of forming a baby and have no time to spare. There is no master-disciple relationship between you and me in reality, nor in name. Now I ask you one more question, are you willing to take me as your master?"
Chen An asked. He had promised Chen Weiyang that his purpose was to stabilize the other party and go to Lihuo Territory to auction the Crystal Condensing Pill to attract the attention of Lihuo Palace.
Now that they have successfully formed a baby, it can be seen that these two people are truly surrendered. Chen Shusheng has good talent and no obvious shortcomings in his character.
If the Chen family of Lihuo Territory is incorporated in the future, this child can be used as a hub to make people's submission smoother.
"Let me make it clear first. After you become my disciple, I will assign you tasks to do. They are quite dangerous. You need to think carefully before making a decision." Chen An reminded.
He estimated that if the incident with Changhe Sect was done by a demon cultivator, he might perform another blood sacrifice after tasting the sweetness. Although it was not certain, it was possible.
In order to prevent the other party from slaughtering all the monks and mortals in the six regions, he must investigate the matter.
Originally, Chen An had the highest cultivation level, so it would be most appropriate for him to go in person. However, if he left his hometown in Qingyun Domain, there would be a risk of losing it, so he had to send someone else.
And Chen Shusheng, who has the highest cultivation level, is the most suitable.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shusheng knelt on the ground without any hesitation and said solemnly: "Disciple is willing to take you as his master!"
Bang, bang, bang, he kowtowed three times in a row.
Seeing that it showed no sign of stopping, Chen An's mind moved, and an invisible force lifted it up: "Okay, just have this idea, don't be too rigid about the form."
"If you become my disciple, I will teach you the Dharma. Come here."
Immediately, Chen An called him to his front, stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the other's forehead. A magical power containing information about magical powers and techniques poured into the other's sea of consciousness.
While he was digesting it, Chen An said, "I see that you are mainly practicing fire-attributed skills, so I will teach you the Golden Crow Transformation Technique and the Great Sun Golden Flame. You should master these two magical powers first. The Great Sun Golden Flame requires the assistance of Golden Crow Grass, which you can get from the spiritual field later."
The Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow Technique is a life-saving magical power. It is very useful whether it is for escaping or killing enemies. All his disciples must master at least one of them.
At this time, Chen Shusheng also slowly came back to his senses. He looked delighted and bowed, saying, "Master, don't worry. I will practice diligently."
"Okay, let's go practice first."
After sending the disciple away, Chen An calmly took out the Linglong essence, swallowed it in one gulp, and practiced his skills to silently improve his cultivation.
Time flies, and another five years have passed.
In the cave, Chen An took a ball of exquisite essence and practiced diligently without fail. The black-haired hyena lay in the corner, carefully nibbling on a third-level spiritual medicine, not daring to make the slightest noise.
As time passed, I didn't know how much time had passed.
Chen An's whole body trembled, and layers of spiritual pressure ripples swept out from his body, spreading towards the entire Kuxiu Mountain. But when he was about to leave the North Mountain, a blood curtain suddenly covered the sky, blocking the pressure within the North Mountain.
No one else could feel the noise, but it frightened the black-haired hound in the cave. It was halfway through eating the elixir and looked in the direction of its master, not daring to move.
"The third level of Nascent Soul!"
After a long time, Chen An opened his eyes. In the depths of his pupils, a ball of golden fire was faintly visible, dancing up and down.
In just five years, even through the continuous refining of exquisite essence, it was still far from enough for him to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation.
The reason for this is that the aftereffect of the previous immortal tree fruit is still there, pushing his cultivation to the point where he is about to break through the third level of the Nascent Soul. Otherwise, without twenty years of hard work, he would never be able to break through the third level!
Although his cultivation level had advanced, there was still a trace of sadness between Chen An's brows, which did not let the joy of the breakthrough completely overwhelm him.
"There has been no movement from the old demon Ji Yin, and I don't know what he is planning."
Chen An thought of the grudge between him and Ji Yin and couldn't help but frown. If they were to fight openly, he would naturally not be afraid of the other party and would even wish for it.
But there is no such thing as a thief on duty. He was afraid that the other party would play dirty tricks on him and stab him in the back from time to time.
Although there is no clear evidence pointing to this guy as the culprit for the disaster that befell Changhe Sect, it is most likely that he was the one who did it. Even if he was not the one who did it, he was definitely related to the other party.
Although Chen An doesn't care much about the life and death of cultivators from other sects, there are only so many people in the six regions of the Far East. If the other party continues with the blood sacrifice, only cultivators from the Qingyun Region will be left in the future, and the Chen family will be left alone. That would be meaningless.
Not only did it delay the development of the family, it also posed a great obstacle to his use of the cultivators from the six realms to collect spiritual objects!
"Wang!"
Suddenly, the black-haired beast stood up with a start and barked at Beishan.
Chen An seemed to sense something, and ordered, "Stop shouting, go and bring the person outside in."
"Ouch."
The black-haired beast responded and rushed out of the cave happily.
Not long after, while Chen An was making a cup of tea, a man and a beast outside walked into the cave.
"Junior Xin Fenghai, nice to meet Senior Chen!"
Xin Fenghai came up to Chen An and bowed.
Now that their identities are very different, he can no longer interact with them as equals as before.
"Fellow Daoist Xin, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat and have some tea."
Chen An smiled faintly, without being condescending.
When he was forming the elixir, the other party gave him a lot of help. Not only did he reveal the news of Lihuo Palace from time to time, but he also restrained Cui Shuosheng, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.
After a cup of tea, we chatted for a while.
"Feng Hai came here this time to ask for something."
After a long time, Xin Fenghai couldn't bear it anymore and looked at Chen An with a worried face.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"To be honest, I fought with Cui Shuosheng again. I don't know what means he used to win over my senior brother Wu Jianquan. He was outnumbered and even with Wu Jianquan's help, he was still no match for me, but..."
At this point, Xin Fenghai's face flushed, his eyes almost spitting fire: "But he was so shameless that he kidnapped my junior sister Xu Hanyun and threatened to take my life. I really have no choice, I beg Ku Xiushan to help me."
"This actually happened!"
Chen An pretended to be surprised and asked tentatively, "Cui Shuosheng killed his brothers, but your master Li Huo didn't care?"
It is said that Ancestor Lihuo left soul tablets and other items in the sect. Now only a remnant of his soul is left, and the disciples in the sect should have known the news.
Xin Fenghai was stunned for a moment, and responded, "My master is currently in seclusion to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He will not come out for decades."
Although he concealed it very well, he could not hide the sadness and desolation in his expression, and it was obvious that he knew about Lihuo's murder.
Chen An sighed in his heart, it is true that when people leave, they are forgotten.
Not long after Patriarch Lihuo died, his disciples began to fight for power and even threatened his daughter's life.
I don’t know if the remaining soul of Lihuo in the Linglong Pagoda will die of anger again after knowing about this.
Chen An did not point it out, he put down the tea in his hand and said: "Cui Shuosheng is so rebellious, as your master's friend, I should help him."
"Thank you, senior."
Xin Fenghai said with a delighted look on his face. He knew that letting Chen An take action was a stupid move that would lead to a wolf entering the house. But his master Lihuo was already gone, and this matter could not be concealed for long. Rather than letting Chen An suppress Lihuo Palace by himself after the matter was exposed, it would be better to take the initiative, which might be beneficial to him.
"But I have a condition. I want to make a copy of the Lihuo Palace's inherited skills."
"This"
Xin Fenghai was slightly stunned, his brows furrowed, and after struggling for a long time, he said, "Okay!"
This was within his expectations, but he did not expect the other party to be so anxious. He thought that the other party would do this after the news of his master's absence was leaked.
But it made no difference whether it was early or late, so he agreed.
Chen An nodded and smiled, then his mind moved slightly, and he called out, and in a moment, Chen Shusheng stepped into the cave.
The greetings are over.
Chen An asked, "How is the practice of the magical power I taught you going?"
"The disciple has already mastered it quite well."
Chen Shusheng told the truth.
"it is good."
Chen An nodded slightly and instructed: "In this case, you should go with Fellow Daoist Xin to Lihuo Palace and help him eliminate the troubles in the sect."
After saying this, Chen An moved his mind again and whispered a few words to him.
Chen Shusheng, who was originally puzzled, suddenly understood and responded without hesitation: "Disciple understands, and I will definitely live up to Master's trust."
"Eh? I'm not questioning you. Although your disciple seems to be quite capable, he is still a master after all..."
Xin Fenghai's face turned red from holding back his words. He didn't say the "fourth level of Jindan" at the end, but the meaning was clear.
Although Chen Shusheng has been practicing diligently for several years, his cultivation has only just broken through the fourth level of Jindan. His strength in Kuxiu Mountain is quite impressive, but it is not worth mentioning in Lihuo Palace.
Chen An smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xin, don't worry. I will pass on a treasure to him. Not to mention the birth of little Cui Shuo, even if your master is still alive, he will have to stay away."
He stopped talking nonsense and took out the exquisite pagoda and handed it to Chen Shusheng: "Inject magic power into it, and I will help you refine it a little."
With the opponent's strength, he definitely cannot control it freely. With Chen An's help, he can barely control the Blood Crocodile and Lihuo inside, as long as he does not release them both at the same time.
When Xin Fenghai saw that the Linglong Pagoda was a magical treasure, his confusion eased a little and he felt relieved.
Fortunately, it was not Chen An himself who took action, but only his apprentice. He was confident that he could handle it.
Chen An gave a few more instructions and asked the two to go to Lihuo Territory together.
"The disciple is gone!"
Chen Shusheng said goodbye and then looked at Xin Fenghai with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xin, please come in."
"Fellow Taoist, please!"
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Chen An smiled lightly as he watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance.
He assigned three tasks to Chen Shusheng. The first was an obvious task, which was to eliminate the disaster for Lihuo Palace and engrave a copy of the Lihuo Palace's martial arts inheritance.
Not to mention the Blood Crocodile's strength, which is enough to sweep away the enemy. The residual soul of Lihuo in the Linglong Pagoda alone is enough to suppress the opponent's entire sect.
Secondly, with the help of a ghost from the Northern Changhe Sect, he could help the remaining soul of Lihuo transform into a ghost body. After all, this person is still useful and will be a help after the transformation.
The third is to prevent the evil cultivators from invading the Tianxing Pavilion again. According to the scope of the six regions of the Far East, if the evil cultivators attack again, the Tianxing Region where the Tianxing Pavilion is located will probably suffer.
Although the blood crocodile in the tower has lost its energy and strength, it is not as strong as before, but with its strength, it has no problem running away from the cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
All Chen Shusheng could do was to stop it if he could, or bring the news back if not.
After the two left, Chen An walked into the spiritual field.
On the periphery, the dragon blood ginseng, a third-level spiritual plant, is growing very well thanks to the black-haired hound's continuous supply of spiritual fertilizer.
Over the years, a large number of them have multiplied. With the help of the Dragon Blood Pill, Chen An's physical cultivation is improving rapidly and he is about to break through to the late third level.
Passing the third-level spiritual plants, Chen An came to the range of the fourth-level spiritual plants.
The Xuantian green hemp and the nine-wheeled wind grass beside the pond are lush and green, and have already matured. It is time to harvest!
[Harvest a 300-year-old Xuantian Qingma plant and obtain a fourth-level Xuanqing Fubi pen]
[Harvest a 400-year-old Xuantian Qingma and obtain the fourth-level talisman inheritance]
As insights and experiences poured into his heart, Chen An gradually digested them and mastered the fourth-level talisman.
The fourth-level inheritance includes the first, second and third-level prerequisite inheritances. Although Chen An already possessed the third-level inheritance, this gain also consolidated his third-level foundation.
I had been looking everywhere for spiritual plants related to the third-level talismans before, but when they were found, Chen An had already formed a fetus. Even if he obtained the third-level inheritance, it would not be of much help to him.
Now that he has obtained the fourth-level inheritance, he is naturally even more powerful.
After harvesting the Xuantian Green Hemp, Chen An turned and came to the Nine-Wheeled Wind Grass.
[Harvest a 300-year-old Nine-Wheeled Wind Grass and obtain the magical power Samadhi Divine Wind]
[Harvest a 400-year-old Nine-Wheeled Wind Grass and obtain the Spiritual Treasure Wind-Fixing Pearl]
The method of practicing Samadhi Divine Wind emerged in Chen An's mind, and he was slightly stunned.
He remembered that Samadhi Divine Wind was Xun Liang's innate magical power. When he fought with him at the beginning, he was quite afraid of this method and simply relied on his strong magic power to resist.
The opposite of this magical power is the dark green bead in his hand, the Wind-Fixing Bead.
As the name suggests, it is the nemesis of the wind element!
With this treasure, if he fights Xun Liang again, even if he stands still and allows the opponent to attack him, he probably won't be able to do anything to Chen An.
Chen An had a joyful smile of harvest on his face. He put away the Wind-Fixing Beads and turned to the last place, Yu Linglong.
Previously, he was worried that it would affect Chen Shuang's practice and his physical problems would relapse, so he only harvested the youngest Yu Linglong.
Nowadays, not only has the quantity of Yulinglong increased, but the age has also increased year by year, so it is no longer a problem.
Following the previous procedure, Chen An told Chen Shuang to wait outside the spiritual field, and he stepped forward to harvest.
[Harvest a 400-year-old Jade Linglong and obtain the inheritance of the fourth-level formation]
The inheritance of the art of formation flooded into his mind, and a huge amount of information from level one to level four rushed in.
Different from the previous inheritance of the Dao of Talismans, Chen An had already mastered the first to third levels, but Chen An only had a rough understanding of the inheritance of the Dao of Formations. The vast amount of information made his head slightly swollen.
However, after a few cycles of magic power circulation, the discomfort gradually disappeared.
When Chen An first saw the information about the harvest, he was puzzled as to what the relationship was between Yu Linglong and the art of formation, and why he could harvest the formation.
Only after he digested the information about the formation did he understand.
It turns out that Yu Linglong, which is more than a thousand years old, can be planted in a certain direction and, with the help of other means, use its endless and powerful spiritual power to serve as part of the energy source for the formation!
This is much more cost-effective than spirit stones. Although it cannot completely replace spirit stones, it is enough to be of great use to the fourth-level formation that does not have top-grade spirit stones as energy source.
Today, the Chen family makes a fortune from Yunwu Valley and Black Wind Market, but maintaining the fourth-level formation, the Ten Thousand Blood Slaughtering God Formation, day and night is also a considerable expense.
The saved spirit stones can be used in other aspects.
After the harvest, Chen An looked into the depths of the spiritual field. Many years ago, the acre of spiritual field in the middle had advanced to the fifth level after digesting the remnants of the immortal tree.
The immortal tree in the center has already sprouted seedlings. Even though it has just broken through the ground, it is still continuously releasing rich spiritual energy, pushing the Beishan Spiritual Land to the fifth level, comparable to a fifth-level spiritual vein.
After taking care of the spiritual plants and planting the spiritual seeds, Chen An activated the art of calling the wind and rain, causing a torrential spiritual rain to fall, shrouding the entire Kuxiu Mountain in mist.
As expected, this action attracted the Chen family cultivators to come out one after another, taking out a large number of utensils, and then the third-level spiritual rain fell from the sky.
Although the third-level spiritual rain contains many impurities, it is still very effective in watering spiritual plants. It is an extremely popular commodity in the Black Wind Market and is in short supply.
Extreme Yin Gate.
In a cave on a thousand-foot-high peak.
Ancestor Ji Yin was sitting here in meditation, with two lifelike puppets placed in front of him. One of them exuded an aura comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
He looked at the puppet with excitement in his eyes, and his body couldn't help but tremble: "Hahaha, after blood sacrifice of all the living beings in Changhe Territory, the Ten Thousand Blood Sky Demon Puppet has finally been trained to be almost complete. It only lacks the main soul, and I, the ancestor, can sweep through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!"
Even without its main soul, the Blood Puppet still has 80% to 90% of his strength, and can still deal with some of the average Nascent Soul Stage 4 cultivators.
Not only that, there was still some blood left after the blood sacrifice of the living creatures, so he took the opportunity to condense another one, which could be used as a backup or replacement at the critical moment.
The Ji Yin Patriarch suddenly raised his head and looked into the void, his face sinister and he said: "Old woman Wu Du, little thief Chen An, you two will not be able to escape the hands of the Patriarch in the end!"
