Chapter 180 Revenge is never delayed, it is harvest season again
The attack of the One-Horned Yaksha was the most powerful water-eye light Chen An had ever seen.

With this skill alone, there should be few rivals at the level of Spirit Transformation.

Fortunately, during the time he had been waiting, he had refined the black scabbard, so he was able to sacrifice it in time and absorb most of the power of the Water Eye's Divine Light.

The remaining part was no longer a threat to him, and he successfully blocked it with the golden sword and the Eight Spirit Sword.

Chen An also suddenly felt that the plain black scabbard in his hand was quite extraordinary. It could not only restrain sword-type magic weapons, but also have an effect on ordinary magical powers.

"Chen Daoyou, are you okay?"

At this time, the mermaid leader Zhan Liuhong, with a group of mermaids behind him, hurried here.

The Great Elder and Zhan Xiumu were also among them.

"I'm fine. The one-horned Yaksha only attacked hastily before leaving, but I managed to hold it off."

Chen An showed a somewhat frightened expression at the right time and said thankfully.

The group of mermaids in front of them were in a miserable state, with more or less injuries on their bodies. Those with minor injuries only had a few superficial wounds and were not in serious condition. Those with serious injuries were missing limbs, and even their basic movements were affected. Some were even dying and had been dragged away by other mermaids for emergency treatment.

Chen An took all of this in, thinking to himself, how tragic!
However, judging from the situation when the Yaksha escaped just now, it seems that they are not much better than the mermaids, otherwise they would not have left like this.

"That's good."

The merman leader Zhan Liuhong responded and glanced at the seriously injured Zhan Jing. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her injuries were not fatal.

He immediately ordered Zhan Qing to take him back to the island for treatment.

Then, several mermaids were sent to investigate Yaksha's whereabouts to confirm whether he had really left.
After doing all this in an orderly manner, she explained: "The one-horned Yaksha just now was the great elder of the Yaksha tribe, Gojin, and the man you killed was his son."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Chen An's face showed enlightenment. No wonder there was no grudge between the two of them, and he even hit him before leaving.

If he was not so powerful, let alone an ordinary person in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, even a person in the seventh stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm would have great difficulty in resisting and would most likely die on the spot.

This old bastard must be taught a lesson when we get back, and I will also let the great elder of the Yaksha tribe taste the power of the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book.

"Humph!"

The great elder of the mermaid tribe did not make things difficult for Chen An this time. He snorted coldly and left with a few people behind him.

Zhan Liuhong smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't mind it. This guy is very suspicious. Although you didn't mean to do it, you saved Jing'er and killed the son of the Yasha Great Elder. Naturally, he won't bother you again."

Chen An smiled coldly but said nothing more. Although the other party was thinking about the mermaids, he also had not forgotten the last time he almost blocked him in the inheritance pavilion.

However, as long as the other party doesn't cause him trouble again in the future, he won't bother with it.

"I told you a long time ago to leave Mermaid Island as soon as possible."

Zhan Xiumu muttered with a cold face.

His voice was relatively low, but everyone present had high cultivation levels and heard it all.

Zhan Liuhong frowned slightly and reminded: "Even though the Yaksha has left, we cannot let him go. Take your men to patrol quickly."

"it is good."

Zhan Xiumu glanced at Chen An, then turned and left with a group of mermaids who were not seriously injured.

Although this person had a bad face, he meant well, so Chen An did not take it to heart.

He then chatted with Zhan Liuhong for a few words and followed him to the island. He came to the small house where he lived before and found Luo Linger, Qingze and Huoyu.

As guests of honor, the mermaids had originally arranged better accommodation for them, but Qingze was afraid that long-term contact with the other party would leave loopholes, so he stayed in the stone house near the periphery.

The three of them ate and drank well and lived a carefree life here, which was in stark contrast to the situation of the mermaids outside who were suffering heavy casualties.

As for this point, Qingze, as a member of the "Qinglong Clan" in the Lost Sea, cannot easily participate in this fight, otherwise it will represent the Qinglong Clan's participation in the war, and the consequences will be very serious.

Luo Ling'er and Huoyu are his friends, so naturally he can't meddle in their affairs.

When talking about their life on the island over the past few years, the three made new discoveries.

"I originally thought that the mermaids were only afraid of the Azure Dragons, and that's why they treated me like a distinguished guest. But as time went by, I discovered that the mermaids had some kind of deal with the Azure Dragons, and it seemed to be about the mermaids' tears."

"Tears of the Mermaid?"

Chen An was surprised, and instantly remembered the crystal-like tear on Zhan Qing's neck.

It is said that the first tear shed by the mermaids will automatically solidify into crystal, and giving it to a trustworthy friend will protect that person's safety.

However, this is just an exaggeration of the friendship between mermaids.

Qingze said in a deep voice: "That's right, the mermaids have always wanted to win over the Azure Dragons and join forces to suppress the Yaksha tribe, but the Azure Dragons have always been vague about it, and it seems that they only want the mermaid tears and don't want to get involved in this matter."

Chen An nodded slightly. It was no wonder. Having been attacked by Yakshas for many years, others would probably feel the same way.

After all, if such consumption continues for a long time, even the most powerful race will not be able to bear it.

However, looking at the situation of the mermaids, it seems that unless something unexpected happens in the short term, their foundation will not be damaged.

Chen An immediately sent the three people to continue inquiring about the matter, while keeping an eye out for the appearance of the fifth-level spirit seed.

He stayed alone in the stone house, set up a layer of magical restrictions, took out the storage bags of the two Yakshas he had captured today, and examined them carefully.

There is one person in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation, and one person in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation. Moreover, he is the son of the great elder of the Yaksha tribe. The treasures inside are really valuable.

There are more than five hundred top-grade spirit stones alone!
It is only used as energy for the teleportation array and is enough to support it for a long time.

As for the fine spiritual treasure, in addition to the two steel forks, there is also a mountain seal in the shape of a small mountain. After refining it and obtaining information about this treasure, it was learned that its name was the Mountain Seal.

Needless to say, the ghost-head hammer used by the Yaksha in the late stage of transformation of the spirit.

But what surprised Chen An the most was that there was a black tortoise shell in the other party's storage bag. At first, he wondered why he had not used such a precious defensive treasure.

But when he tried to pick it up, he found that the tortoise shell was very heavy. Even though he was a cultivator of the fifth level of body refining, it was inconvenient for him to move after wearing it.

It's okay on normal days, but if you wear this armor when fighting with others, you will definitely die.

In addition, what Chen An is most interested in are spiritual plants and spiritual seeds.

As expected, there were four jade corals in the two storage bags. Although they were all five or six hundred years old, with the three spiritual medicines before, Chen An now had a total of seven in his hands!
But when he turned out a red, crystal clear spiritual seed that looked like a pomegranate seed, Chen An lost his composure.

[Dragon Blood Tree Seeds, a fifth-level spiritual plant, the fruit is extremely beneficial to the body, it is the treasure of the Qinglong Clan, and must be watered with the blood of the Qinglong Clan]

Dragon Blood Tree, just by hearing its name, you can tell that it is more impressive than the Dragon Blood Silk.

But Chen An was not worried about the need to "water it with the blood of the Qinglong clan".

He immediately called Luo Ling'er and the other two over and gave them some unused items that he had selected to exchange for spirit seeds and top-grade spirit stones.

He told them that they could trade directly with Zhan Qing in exchange for things that the mermaids would not easily give away to others.

And this matter was the price that Zhan Qing promised Chen An to pay for his actions. After explaining this matter, Chen An said to Qingze: "Come back with me."

"Okay." Although Qingze didn't know what was going on, he dared not disobey his master's orders.

From some unknown time on, he discovered that Chen An also had the aura of a poisonous insect that controlled him.

Most likely, Luo Ling'er transferred control over the two of them. The good thing was that he got rid of Luo Ling'er's control, but fell into Chen An's hands again.

Qingze and the other two have come to terms with this matter.

Following these two people may not be a bad thing. At the very least, one can escape from the Four Continents and find the other world of immortal cultivation that the legendary gods have always dreamed of.

From now on, there is hope for advancing to the realm of refining emptiness!
If the opportunity is sufficient, perhaps one could achieve a higher level of cultivation!

Thinking of this, Qingze revealed a barely perceptible smile, and as he looked at Chen An, there was a bit more trust in his expression.

The two flew away from the Mermaid Island. After Chen An confirmed that no one was following him, he used the teleportation array in the cave to arrive at the reef island where the blue silk was grown.

"Go back first, to your Qinglong clan in Beizhou, and bring me one thousand kilograms of dragon blood."

Chen An said so. He originally wanted ten thousand kilograms, but considering that it was not easy for a divine beast to give birth to its bloodline and there were only a hundred Azure Dragons in Beizhou, he changed his mind to one thousand kilograms.

This is not a big deal for the hundreds of green dragons.

"Blue Dragon Blood?"

Qingze was a little puzzled. Azure Dragon's blood seemed to be of some use to Nascent Soul cultivators, but its effect on Spirit Transformation was much weaker.

There are many better options in Lost Sea.

However, he did not ask any more questions, but quietly took the teleportation array and headed straight for Dongzhou.

Although it was his first time being a younger brother, he understood that if the boss asked him to do something, it was best not to ask the reason and just do it.

If he wants you to know, he will tell you. If he doesn't tell you, it obviously means he doesn't want you to know.

After Qingze left, Chen An removed the magic restriction on a corner of the reef island. After checking the condition of the spiritual plants, he did not ripen them immediately. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and placed the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book in front of him.

He had not completely forgotten the previous attack by Yaksha Gokin on him.

How could he get away with it after launching a sneak attack on him? I'll give you a little shock from the power of the curse!
"Gojin, right? I'll let you be the first to experience the power of the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book after it's upgraded!"

Chen An remembered that "Gojin" was the name of the first-born one-horned Yaksha mentioned by the mermaid leader Zhan Liuhong.

However, he vaguely recalled that the first one who tried to advance the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book seemed to be the extraterritorial demon.

But it doesn’t matter!

Chen An immediately cleared his mind of distractions and silently recited the name "Go Jin" in his heart. The image of the other party with a single horn on his head, holding a steel fork, and looking majestic appeared in his mind.

Then, he exerted his strength secretly, and a curse force lingered around Gokin's body in his mind, with a sinister aura, like that of an evil spirit.

As Chen An's blood and essence were consumed more and more, the amount of curse power was gradually increasing.

After 80% of his blood and energy was consumed, eight curse powers lingered on the opponent's body. Unlike the majestic appearance before, this time Ge Jin's forehead turned black, his breath was weak, and he seemed to be in a very bad condition.

This is the function of the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book after it is upgraded. It can simply detect the general condition of the opponent after being cursed.

Subtle changes cannot be observed, but obvious changes in appearance can still be captured.

"call!"

Chen An's face turned pale, he took a few deep breaths, and quietly put away the Book of Five Poisons Curse Soul.

"Old boy, I'll make things difficult for you this time!"

After staying on the reef island for more than a month, Chen An used his free time to give a name to this reef island which was only a few miles in size.

"Pei Ling Island!"

As the name suggests, it is an island for cultivating spiritual plants, which is easy to understand.

A few days later, Qingze's figure appeared on the teleportation array.

"The blue dragon blood you wanted!"

Qingze presented a storage bag and said.

"very good."

Chen An confirmed that it was correct, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "If the time comes in the future, I can allow you to be free, even if you join the Azure Dragon Clan in the Lost Sea."

Qingze's face lit up when he heard this: "Really? Thank you, Master!"

"Don't be too happy."

Chen An poured cold water on him: "The so-called opportunity could be as short as a hundred years or as long as hundreds of years or even longer, depending on the situation."

He added in his mind, it depends on when you become useless to me.

"I see!"

Qingze nodded solemnly. The timing the other party mentioned would probably depend on what valuable contributions he could continue to make in the future.

Judging from Chen An's cultivation speed, it is most likely just a matter of advancing to the realm of refining emptiness, and it may not take too long.

But thinking of this, Qingze suddenly didn't want to leave so soon.

He had a strong intuition that perhaps, following such a master would be much better than going to the Qinglong clan.

Chen An sent the other party to go to the Mermaid Island to continue his work. He took out a few fifth-level spiritual plants, thought for a moment, and made a decision.

The jade coral still has certain uses. At least two plants can be left, and the rest can be used for ripening.

Immediately, Chen An activated the Soul-Snatching Technique, consuming one and a half plants, and ripened the green spiritual silk to five hundred years old.

However, Chen An did not plan to keep the remaining half of the plant, and poured all of it into the newly matured green silk in front of him.

When ripening the plants again this time, he found that the loss of the Soul Stealing Technique was gradually increasing, and the utilization rate of the plant essence was only 50%.

It took the consumption of half a fifth-level spiritual plant to ripen it to seven hundred years old.

This year is a small step in the value increase for fifth-level spiritual plants. Chen An knows that this is the second harvest of medicinal plants.

[Harvest a 700-year-old blue silk, obtain the Divine-level magical power, the True Essence Heart Protection Technique]

This is a defensive magical power that can defend against the attacks of ordinary Spiritual Transformation cultivators. If it is cultivated to a deep level, it can even defend against the attacks of Perfect Spiritual Transformation cultivators or even Void Refinement cultivators.

Moreover, most importantly, the True Essence Heart Protection Technique can also defend against adverse situations where spiritual energy is unstable.

In other words, it also has a defensive effect against the violent spiritual energy in the sea of ​​​​turmoil.
