Chapter 162: The Seven Stars of the Wanjian Sect, Capture and Kill the Extraterritorial Demon
The auction of the Calming Pill has not happened in decades. After a period of preparation, the three major cities have attracted a large number of independent cultivators and cultivators from sects, as well as a large number of cultivators who followed to join in the fun.

Chen An didn't know the details, but Black Wind City was also affected. The number of cultivators inside increased visibly, which showed how big the auction was.

The two auctions were held in a rhythmic sequence. Regardless of whether or not these people won any elixirs, they were able to witness the grand occasion of the two auctions, and the trip was well worthwhile.

Just as all the monks were leaving with reluctance, Chen Qing released the news at the right time:

There is a tranquilizing pill of perfect quality in Black Wind City, which will be auctioned at the Chen family auction house in three months!

The previous two were inferior pills, but now the perfect quality is two levels higher!

For a time, the righteous forces in Dongzhou were in an uproar, and an endless stream of people were teleported from Qinglong City to Heifeng City.

The continuous transmission, the transmission fee alone is sky-high.

Chen An was not very interested in this matter and continued to practice in Beishan.

But this matter was not a secret. After some people inquired about it, many cultivators learned that the Calming Pill was made by Ku Xiushan. Now, many cultivators came to pay homage to him.

Of course, the last time the Taixu Sect and Taixuan Mountain’s gods plotted against Chen An, the two sides became enemies, and they just secretly sent people to Black Wind City to interfere, but they did not dare to send anyone to pay homage to the mountain.

However, another leader of the righteous path, the seven Yuanying True Lords of Wanjian Sect, all arrived.

Chen An had also heard of these seven people. They are Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang. They are brothers from the same school and are known as the Seven Stars.

Although their strengths vary from the early Nascent Soul stage to the Perfection stage, they all master a method called the Seven Star Sword Formation. It is said that once the sword formation is formed, it can be comparable to the strength of the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

It is also because of this that Wanjianmen has been able to maintain its position as one of the three major righteous sects in Dongzhou despite the lack of a Divine Transformation cultivator.

Chen An deliberately went to meet him.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I am sorry for disturbing you by coming to visit me. A few pieces of top-grade spirit stones are not a token of respect."

Tianshu Zhenjun had gray hair on his temples and wore a white Taoist robe. He looked like a Taoist immortal and he smiled and bowed.

"You are too polite, fellow Daoist. I have heard of your great names for a long time. I met Daoist Yuheng before, but I have not been able to meet the other six. Today, I have the opportunity to get to know all seven of you one by one."

The other party's attitude was sincere, so Chen An naturally became a little more enthusiastic. At the same time, he nodded slightly to Yuheng Zhenjun, whom he had met once.

Wanjian Sect is often suppressed by the Taixu Sect and Taixuan Mountain, and does not have a good relationship with them. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Chen An immediately took out a few jars of glass wine and drank with the seven people. As they toasted each other, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Before we knew it, three rounds of drinks had passed.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm sure you can guess why we're here. I also know how precious the Calming Pill is, so I won't waste any more words. But you can rest assured that we will give you a satisfactory price."

Tianshu Zhenjun's face turned slightly red, and he was already a little drunk, and he made a solemn promise.

Chen An knew the other party's intention, and an idea came to his mind: "My fellow Taoists have come from afar, I will not let you return empty-handed. How about this, since there are seven of you, I will take out seven Calming Pills, how about that?"

The only female cultivator among the Seven Stars, Yao Guang Zhenjun, had a glittering look in her eyes and raised her glass, saying, "Daoyou Chen is generous and magnanimous. I admire you. I offer you a toast."

Chen An waved his hand and said with a smile: "Daoyou Yaoguang, let me be frank. My Calming Pills are priced at one price: ten top-grade spirit stones each!"

"Ten dollars?"

The seven people looked embarrassed. The two that were auctioned before were only worth three top-grade spirit stones at the highest.

"Don't worry, my seven pearls are not the same as those auctioned before. The quality of each one is much better."

After Chen An finished speaking, he threw a jade bottle to Tianshu Zhenjun for him to check.

This is of perfect quality, and naturally different from the two in Qinglong City and Baiyue City.

After just one look, Tianshu Zhenjun's face lit up with joy, and he decided, "Okay, let's do as you say!"

The transaction was very pleasant. Apart from the pain shown on the other party's face when handing over the spirit stones, there were no other obstacles.

Afterwards, the seven people did not stay any longer and did not plan to attend the auction in Black Wind City. They went straight back to Wanjianmen.

"With these seven Calming Pills, my Wanjian Sect will have at least three or four more Nascent Soul cultivators."

"That's right, it's all thanks to Senior Brother Yuheng. If it weren't for my acquaintance with Senior Brother, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to meet Fellow Daoist Chen."

True Lord Yuheng looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "It's not because of my face, it's really because of the spirit stone's face."

Of course, he was also clear in his mind that the two sides had a common enemy and were standing on a united front.

After getting seventy top-grade spirit stones, plus the spirit stones he had collected before, Chen An had a total of eighty-one! From then on, he had everything he needed to build the teleportation array.

As long as you improve your cultivation as quickly as possible, you can implement the plan.

However, before that, Luo Ling'er must be upgraded so that he can continue more safely. Whether she is protecting him when he breaks through to the God Transformation Realm, or accompanying him to the Tianyuan Continent, she will be a great help.

In order for Luo Linger to advance, she needed to, firstly, devour the spirit and energy of a Divine Transformation cultivator, and secondly, use the Phoenix Soul Crystal as a medium to utilize the Divine Transformation's spirit and soul to strengthen her own spirit and soul.

The Phoenix Soul Crystal is a specialty of the Luanfeng clan. Chen An found a few pieces from Huoyu. Now all he needs to do is to become a Divine Transformation cultivator before he can begin the process of advancement.

But there is no need to rush, as he already has a candidate in mind and can take his time.

What matters now is one's own cultivation.

Thinking of this, Chen Anmai walked into the spiritual field.

After years of accumulation, the planting area of ​​fourth-level spiritual plants occupies most of the spiritual fields, and Chen An has also accumulated a lot.

He took out all the spiritual plants that he had no need for.

The largest number of them are Yu Linglong, accounting for half, which is similar to the proportion in the spiritual field.

Chen An immediately activated the Soul-Snatching Technique and drained out the spiritual plants that were as big as a small hill in front of him in one breath. After a moment, a large group of fourth-level plant essence floated in front of him, exuding an extremely rich vitality.

With a thought in his mind, the essence of plants and trees seeped into the roots of the Eight Spirit Treasure Tree, nourishing the fairy tree.

As the fairy tree absorbed the essence, its branches and leaves stretched out and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than half a day, the trunk had grown most of the way up and was already two meters high. The tree was two hundred years old.

"There is still a long way to go, and we have to cultivate it slowly."

Chen An used up all the spiritual plants he had accumulated over the years, but he was only able to ripen them for less than a hundred years. This is the limitation of cross-level ripening.

However, the progress bar on the top of the fairy tree has reached halfway. At worst, he can just wait a few more decades. Chen An, who is just over 200 years old, can afford to wait that little bit of time.

After taking a quick look at Chen Shuang and Chen Guangzhi who were practicing hard in the spiritual field, Chen An turned around and left the spiritual field.

The tranquilizing pill from Black Wind City was finally auctioned off by the Qingwei Sect, which was second only to the three righteous sects. As a result, the sect gained one more Nascent Soul cultivator.

Black Wind City also became famous in the righteous world because of the perfect quality of its calming pills.

But within a few years, Chen An received news that people disappeared again, and this time, the Chen family cultivators were also affected, and even a newly promoted Jindan cultivator was missing.

Chen An suddenly felt a nameless fire in his heart, and he immediately controlled his escape light and came to Black Wind City.

This time he wanted to see what kind of monster was causing this cholera!
"The missing monks did not disappear in the city, but they went out and did not return. Since there are as many as 30,000 of them, it does not seem like ordinary deaths outside. It is obvious that someone is plotting behind the scenes."

When Chen Qing saw Chen An coming, he stepped forward to report the results of the recent investigation.

Recently, because of this incident, people in Black Wind City are in a panic, and many cultivators have fled. If the problem is not resolved, Black Wind City's reputation will be greatly damaged, and its income will also plummet. "I will investigate this matter myself. If I don't find this person, I will not be able to practice with peace of mind."

Someone was doing trouble in his own territory, which made Chen An unable to sleep well. He would not tolerate it.

After asking Chen Qing to be more alert, Chen An searched the city, but the result was the same as last time, nothing was found.

But the cultivator did not disappear in the city, and Chen An did not find anything unusual in the teleportation array leading to Qinglong City. This means that the other party most likely came across the Black Wind Mountains.

With this in mind, Chen An found a secluded place in the Chen family's land, set up a communication array, and called the giant crocodile.

The next day, the giant crocodile arrived quickly.

After asking, Chen An learned that the giant crocodile often discovered that many monks entering and leaving the Black Wind Mountains would disappear for no reason. Unfortunately, the other party did not know who the mysterious person was.

One thing worth noting is that the cultivators who occasionally entered the sphere of influence of the several demon kings did not find similar situations, but once they left the sphere of influence of the demon kings, there was a high probability that they would disappear.

After the two of them discussed it, they probably thought that the other party was afraid of the existence of the Divine Qilin, so they did not dare to cross the line.

"Do you want me to take you to ask Senior Qilin? He has great magical powers and may know something."

The giant crocodile suggested. The two discussed for a long time but could not come to a conclusion.

"Forget it. It's better not to disturb the senior's meditation."

Chen An refused.

If the Qilin could sense the movements of the mysterious man, it would have taken action long ago. Why wait until now?

Chen An's eyes turned and he said with a twinkling light: "If you have nothing to do, can you help me stay in the city for a while and take precautions? I have my own way to catch this person, but it will take some time."

"That's good. This demon has harmed many monsters in the Black Wind Mountains. The sooner we get rid of it, the sooner we can have peace."

The giant crocodile said without hesitation.

Let the other party take charge of Black Wind City, Chen An bowed and said goodbye, then turned around and returned to Kuxiu Mountain.

Since the Ghost Fire Nether Leaf was not on the key training list, his Netherworld Ghost Eye never reached perfection.

This magical power has great potential and is the top-level magical power among the Jindan-level magical powers. If he continues to master it, he will be confident that he can pull it out.

Now that he had a target, Chen An was no longer idle. He immediately took out the Yin Qi Bead, aimed it at the few Ghost Fire Leaves, and sprayed out chilling Yin Qi, slowly nourishing the spiritual plants.

In a flash, four years have passed.

That day, Chen An came to the spiritual field, looked at the ghost fire leaves that had grown into a green shade, and walked in.

His eyes flickered, and his eyeballs glowed with a faint blue light. Faintly, eight black dots flickered in the depths of his eyes, representing his current realm!

[Harvest the Ghost Fire Leaf, obtain the magical power of the Netherworld Ghost Eye] *17
As a wave of supernatural insights and experience poured into Chen An's mind, the blue light in his eyes gradually distorted.

The eight black spots deep in the eyes intertwined with each other, and within a short while, one more spot was added, bringing the total to nine.

"It's done!"

Chen An's face lit up with joy, he had already advanced his Netherworld Ghost Eyes ability to perfection.

Deliberately trying, he glanced around and looked towards where Yu Linglong was.

Chen Shuang, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of Yu Linglong, was absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Every time she took in a wisp of spiritual energy, the Yin and Yang energy in her body would become more chaotic. At the same time, the Yin and Yang energy in her body kept circulating, and with each cycle, the Yin and Yang energy in her body became more stable. A delicate balance was vaguely reached between the two.

"This is the trajectory of spiritual energy!"

Chen An was slightly surprised. He could actually see the flow path of the spiritual energy in Chen Shuang's body, and he could see it very clearly.

So, can't you just learn other people's skills for free?

At this point, Chen An became a little impatient and turned to look at Chen Guangzhi on the other side.

Sure enough, the running route of the Five Elements Hunyuan Jue was completely exposed in front of his eyes. At the same time, he could also see clearly the talisman in Chen Guangzhi's dantian.

"This kid didn't slack off. He almost carved all the second-level talismans I taught him into talismans."

Chen An nodded slightly, leaped up, turned around and flew away from Beishan, heading towards Black Wind City.

He smiled maliciously, then restrained his breath and landed near the giant crocodile, which was meditating in a secluded place.

There was a faint blue flash in his eyes, and Chen An saw clearly the opponent's route of practice.

"The Giant Crocodile's training route is somewhat similar to the Demon Ape's physical training, but this martial art is not entirely focused on physical training. It is estimated that Qi training occupies four levels, and physical training occupies about six levels."

After mastering many techniques to perfection, Chen An quickly understood the essence of the Giant Crocodile Technique and also understood most of the techniques he practiced.

When it was almost time, he came out and said, "Daoist Fellow Giant Crocodile, have you found anything?"

"So it's Fellow Daoist Chen who's here. Nothing unusual has happened in the past four years. Have you mastered your skills?"

The giant crocodile stopped practicing, looked up and asked.

"Okay, you and I can just wait here together."

After saying that, the two of them sat there quietly, waiting.

Since we haven't figured out the other party's tactics yet, the only thing we can do now is to sit back and wait for them to come to us.

The two of them sat there in silence for two years.

During this period, Chen An swallowed countless Linglong essences and Peiying pills, and the giant crocodile next to him was so envious that he almost drooled.

Chen An felt bad for making the other party wait for several years and also learning his skills for free, so he gave him a few strands of Linglong essence.

The giant crocodile was so happy that he thanked the owner repeatedly and wished he could wait here for a few more years.

Suddenly, Chen An, who was sitting in meditation, looked stern with a faint blue in his eyes, and looked towards a sneaky black shadow ten miles outside the city.

"Good boy, after waiting for so many years, he finally shows up!"

Chen An waited long and hard, and finally the result came.

But in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Chen An left behind an illusion, and his real body quietly moved towards the outside of the city.

When Chen An arrived, there were thousands of monks gathered here and two groups were fighting.

This is to resolve the conflict between different forces. Black Wind City has rules. If there are conflicts, they can be resolved outside the city, but if they happen inside the city, no matter who it is, they will be killed without mercy!

But at the moment, the black shadow was covered with black mist, which enveloped the two groups of thousands of monks here and was about to sweep them away.

Among them there were several monks from the Chen family, who were monitoring the two parties to see if any innocent monks were involved.

Seeing these Chen family cultivators still talking and laughing, they have no idea that a disaster is about to happen.

"You have committed crimes many times in my territory. Aren't you too reckless?"

Chen An's eyes focused, and his attack was a killing move. The God-killing Sword finger was wrapped with the sword intent of water and rushed straight towards the opponent's face.
