Chapter 185: The inner elixir of the sea beast, the reappearance of the spirit in Kuxiu Mountain
The human-faced fish stirred up huge waves in the waters near the reef island, one higher than the other, almost completely submerging the spiritual plant.

Chen An's eyes flashed with cold light, and a ball of fiery red object came out of his mouth, instantly raising the temperature of the slightly cold sea area a little.

This is the Five Plagues and Poisonous Fire Evil, which is cultivated with the help of the Five Plagues, fire and evil spirit, and its source is harvested from the five-colored poisonous mushrooms.

The practice went quite smoothly at the beginning. The Five Poison Sect already had the latter two, and with Chen An's True Sun Fire, there was not much difficulty in practicing.

Chen An rarely uses the Five Plagues and Fire Evils. The fire poison has a strong aura and it makes too much noise when used, which can easily make people wary.

The human-faced fish in front of them had already been entangled by Qingze and the other two, so it was the perfect target for a sneak attack.

"Woo!"

The strange fish let out a low roar, as if it had noticed something. It stared at Chen An angrily and tried to dodge by wagging its tail.

But Chen An's Five Plagues and Poisonous Fire Evils were not so easy to dodge. Even though the strange fish reacted quickly and turned around urgently, it still brushed past its tail.

"Bah!"

The fire demon approached the strange fish, and once it touched its scales, a sizzling sound was made and smoke came out, as if it was roasting fish.

Some of the scales on the tail of the strange fish were broken into pieces, turning them black. Bright red blood flowed out from the broken parts, dyeing the nearby sea water red.

But the next moment, the bright red color flowing out of the strange fish gradually deepened and turned from red to black. This was a sign that the five plagues and evil spirits had entered the body.

An ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator, once hit, would most likely have fire entering his body and his strength damaged, but this strange fish was still full of energy. Its eyes were filled with murderous intent, and it growled at Chen An, venting its anger.

The strange fish-man's eyes were wide open with a bloodthirsty look, and his bloody mouth opened wide, and he actually spit out a string of shiny black bubbles that floated above the sea.

Occasionally one or two of them would collide with the formation's light curtain and explode with a "bang", but the formation's light curtain did not move at all.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were filled with bubbles, densely packed. One or two would be fine, but with so many, I really couldn't imagine if all of them bombarded the formation and would shake it.

Chen An had no time to think. Under the shield of the True Essence Body Protection Technique, he threw the ghost-head hammer in his hand and swept it around.

"Bang bang bang!"

The roars sounded one after another, deafening, like firecrackers.

But Chen An was too busy playing around. He swung the hammer, which suddenly became several times bigger and smashed directly towards the strange fish with a human face.

"Woo!"

Faced with the fierce attack, the mermaid looked obviously timid.

It whimpered, swung its tail, and dived into the seabed with a "swoosh", ready to escape.

"I want to see where you go!"

Chen An shouted loudly and rushed into the seabed.

The thing to be afraid of is not thieves stealing, but thieves thinking about it. If he doesn't kill them all this time, if they harass him frequently in the future, he won't be able to be on guard all the time.

The best thing is to kill it in one go and get rid of it once and for all.

Chen An reacted quickly and at a fast speed. As soon as he dived into the seabed, he saw that the strange fish had not gone far away. From the looks of it, it seemed that it was going to escape into the water immediately.

"Let you run!"

Chen An smiled contemptuously, and a circle of strange spiral ripples surrounded his body. His mind moved slightly, and the ripples continued to rotate towards the bottom of the sea, while spreading rapidly around him with his body as the center.

The surrounding sea water suddenly surged in a specific direction, faster and faster, as if there was a giant standing tall, holding a pillar of support, stirring the sea.

At this moment, a huge whirlpool had already formed, madly swallowing the surrounding sea water, and there was a wolves under the sea surface.

Fortunately, apart from sea beasts, there were few other sea creatures in the turbulent sea, and no innocent people were harmed.

Looking at the strange fish with a human face, it was at the edge of the whirlpool and was struggling with all its might, trying to free its already tilted body from the influence of the whirlpool.

As one escaped and the other was sucked in, the human-faced monster and the whirlpool force were in a stalemate. For a moment, neither of them could do anything to the other.

"Turning rivers and seas is indeed powerful!"

Chen An sighed and said it was a pity that he didn't catch more fish to deepen his understanding, otherwise he would not be able to bear this strange fish.

He calmed himself, smiled lightly, and a golden sword light flew out from his sleeves. He flew close to the strange fish and stabbed it lightly, piercing its forehead.

The Turning Rivers and Seas and the Golden Small Sword trapped and killed one at the same time, easily solving the problem of the human-faced monster fish that was comparable to a sixth-level Jindan cultivator.

After killing the opponent, Chen An did not put away the sword immediately, but manipulated the belly of the strange fish and picked out an inner pill the size of a pigeon egg.

Sea beasts have no reason and do not cultivate their souls. This inner elixir is the source of their power, and the spiritual power contained in it is also very valuable.

However, it is not suitable for direct refining, otherwise the violent spiritual energy will enter the body, which will easily affect one's own cultivation and sanity.

It is usually used as a spiritual material for alchemy, or for refining tools or drawing talismans. In short, the value of this inner elixir in front of you is far greater than that of an ordinary spiritual marrow diamond.

Chen An immediately collected the inner elixir and the corpse of the strange fish with a human face, and jumped away from the sea area that was gradually returning to calm.

As soon as it appeared, the three people on the island became nervous, as if they thought that the strange fish had returned. But when they saw that the person coming was Chen An, they hurried forward.

"Master, we"

"No need to say more."

Chen An waved his hand and said, "It's already pretty good to be able to do this. You should work hard to improve your cultivation in the future. You've been in the Sea of ​​Turbulence for so many years. Don't just stand still."

If you count carefully, they have been in the Sea of ​​Turbulence for more than 20 years. Except for Luo Linger's special way of promotion, Qingze and the other two have only made a slight improvement in their cultivation, but have not made a breakthrough, and are still stuck in the second and third levels of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

After hearing this, Qingze and Huoyu's faces turned red. However, they could not be blamed entirely. After all, they came here without the support of any force behind them. They were almost reduced to independent cultivators and had to rely on themselves for everything.

Fortunately, there is the precious land of the Sea of ​​Riot. Even if I rely on the Spirit Marrow Drill in the future, I can still meet my daily cultivation needs.

Chen An also understood this and just gave a little reminder and some encouragement.

"Hmm? The spiritual energy on the island seems to have become a bit more violent?"

Chen An was surprised, pondered for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly checked the array pattern on the base of the array.

It was discovered that the array pattern, which had been slightly worn before, was worn a little again for some unknown reason, causing more violent spiritual energy to leak into the array.

Most likely because of the attack of sea monsters, Qingze and the other two borrowed part of the power of the formation, causing the already aging formation to age faster.

"It seems that this formation is at risk of collapse sooner or later."

Chen An thought to himself that even without the formation, he could still survive outside the riot area. However, without protection, it would be difficult to grow spiritual plants such as the green silk.

Putting aside these future problems, the wear and tear of the array patterns is not without benefits.

The large amount of spiritual energy pouring in is enough for the planted spiritual plants to absorb, so there is no need to worry about the balance of spiritual energy.

Immediately, Chen An transplanted the spiritual plants outside the formation back to the reef island.

"By the way, Qingze, go back to Beizhou soon and get some more blue dragon blood. I can use it."

"Yes!" Qingze responded.

"Just send it directly to Kuxiu Mountain."

After giving the instructions, Chen An ignored the three people and let them practice on their own, while he returned to Kuxiu Mountain through the teleportation array.

Back at Beishan Cave, Chen An asked Heimaohu to call Chen Qing over. "Woof!"

Perhaps it had been a long time since he heard Chen An's orders, so after hearing the instructions, the black-haired beast excitedly took the order and headed for Black Wind City.

Chen An had received news from Wang Daning before that when Jiang Taixu first became the Emperor of Man, he summoned families from all sides that had given birth to spirits to move in.

Generally, such families have either long been affiliated with a certain force, or are a certain force themselves, and it is rare to see such families slip through the net.

Unfortunately, the Chen family has two cultivators with spiritual bodies who meet the requirements for admission.

However, the situation over there was unclear. To prevent any accidents, Chen An decided to send some people to find out the situation first, and then decide whether to relocate the entire family depending on the situation.

Chen Qing has been managing the family for many years and knows every tree and grass, every person and every animal in the family very well. Before deciding on this matter, I have to discuss it with him first.

The black-haired beast left quickly and came back quickly. In just a moment, the man and the beast arrived out of the mountain.

"Hurry up, don't keep the master waiting!"

Chen Qing's escape speed was slow, and the black-haired beast was very disgusted with it.

"It's just for a while, it's okay."

Chen Qing did not refute the black-haired beast's complaint. Instead, seeing that there was no one around, he quietly handed the black-haired beast a storage bag.

"A small gift is not a sign of respect."

"What are you doing?"

It was the first time that the black-haired beast saw someone giving him a treasure, and it was Chen Qing, so he couldn't help but be surprised.

"During the next assessment, I hope Brother Gou will show mercy to my son and take care of him a little." Chen Qing smiled apologetically, completely lacking the dignity of his family.

After hearing this, the black-haired beast suddenly realized and reacted.

The so-called "assessment" was the rule set by Chen An earlier. Any member of the Chen family could challenge the Black-haired Hound and the Golden Crow. As long as they could win, or could persist for a certain number of rounds without being defeated, they could stay in Beishan to practice for one year or half a year.

Over the years, there were only one or two members of the tribe who were able to defeat one of the two beasts, and even those who could last for dozens of rounds were only a handful. As a result, only a few members of the Chen family were able to come to Beishan to practice in the end.

And what Chen Qing asked me to do is probably this.

"No, this is the rule set by the master. How can I make my own decision?"

The black-haired beast looked at the storage bag in front of him and said with a look of rejection.

"Hey, Brother Gou, take a look at what's inside first, it won't be too late to make a decision later."

Chen Qing handed the storage bag over again and said mysteriously.

The black-haired beast took a deep look at the other person and felt that this old fellow was no good at all. He was always doing such evil things. He would definitely expose him to his master when he got back.

With the intention of making the other party give up, the black-haired beast took a casual glance.

"Is this for me?" It widened its eyes, swallowed hard, and said in disbelief.

"As long as Brother Gou agrees, everything is yours!"

The man and the dog reached an agreement, and each set foot on Beishan Mountain with satisfaction.

"How is the matter of the five-colored lotus seeds going? Have the tribesmen who took them experienced any significant changes?"

Seeing Chen Qing, Chen An asked.

"There are changes indeed. The spiritual roots of these five people have improved, but it's only a partial improvement." Chen Qing said with a strange look on his face.

"If it's upgraded, it's upgraded. What do you mean by partial upgrade?"

"What they have improved is only the perception of the corresponding lotus seed attribute. In other words, it only improves the perception of a single attribute of spiritual energy, not the overall improvement of spiritual roots."

Chen Qing explained: "My son Chen Duoduo took the lotus seeds of wood attribute. After that, his perception of wood attribute spiritual energy improved, and he practiced the corresponding attribute skills. In terms of the speed of practice, he has improved from the level of inferior spiritual roots to the level comparable to high-grade spiritual roots."

He looked excited, his face flushed, and he was in high spirits and joy when he talked about this.

Chen Duoduo had a poor spiritual root and had spent most of his life in cultivation. Now his cultivation speed has greatly increased. With the current foundation of the Chen family, it is not difficult to support his breakthrough to the Jindan stage.

Moreover, there is no need to trouble Chen An, Chen Qing can make the decision on his own.

The only point is that it is easy to break through the Jindan stage, but if he wants to practice later, it may not be so easy with his high-grade spiritual roots.

If Chen Duoduo could be brought to Beishan to practice, it would also be a quick way to achieve success.

Unfortunately, although Chen Qing has the final say on most matters of the Chen family, when it comes to Beishan's affairs, his power is even less than that of a dog.

"I see."

Chen An murmured in his heart, but judging from the results, the effect was a little worse than what was recorded in a certain book in the Chen family's martial arts pavilion.

After all, the authenticity of the contents of the book could not even be guaranteed by the author himself, which was not surprising.

After Chen An learned about the five-colored lotus seeds, he immediately told Chen Qing the news that Jiang Huangcheng in Tianyuan Continent was recruiting soldiers and discussed the matter with him.

But when he heard the word "spiritual body", Chen Qing seemed to remember something and said hurriedly: "I almost forgot that a member of the clan who took the five-colored lotus seeds seemed to have awakened a fire-attributed spiritual body. Now the Chen family already has a three-bright spiritual body cultivator!"

"Oh? What kind of fire attribute spirit is it?"

Chen An immediately became interested. With the steady development momentum of the Chen family, a spiritual cultivator would have a high chance of becoming a divine cultivator.

"It's a fire spirit!"

"Fire spirit body? Not bad."

Chen An nodded slightly. Although it was just an ordinary spirit, it was enough for the Chen family.

"I plan to let Chen Shuang lead a group of people to Jianghuang City in Tianyuan Continent. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Chen An wanted to ask Chen Qing for his opinion. After all, the other party knew the family very well and it was he who had to decide on the candidate.

"You can let Chen Shusheng and my son Chen Long go with them. These two have great potential and are eager to make progress. They may achieve something else in Tianyuan Continent. As for Chen Kebao, his personality is more suitable for maintaining the status quo, not for pioneering. It is better for him to stay in Kuxiu Mountain. There are also several new Jindan people."

Chen Qing knew all about the Danjie and foundation building in the clan, and decided on many candidates in a short while.

Chen Long and Chen Kebao are his son and grandson, and he does not favor anyone over the other. His judgments are all based on personal circumstances.

"Okay, let's send out some of the Qi training monks as well. You can decide on the candidates yourself."

Seeing that Chen An was about to make the final decision, Chen Qing hurriedly reminded him, "Did you forget that there is one more person involved in this matter?"

"Who? Chen Yu?"

Chen An thought that the other party was talking about Chen Yu who was still staying in Qingyun Sect. Now that his family's power far exceeds that of Qingyun Sect, Chen Yu still chooses to stay there. It is said that he is reluctant to leave his master, Fairy Hongye.

"You must be joking. I have always been fair in handling family affairs. How could I be biased towards Chen Yu just because she is my daughter? What's the difference between doing this and being a petty thief?"

Chen Qing's words were powerful and, combined with his previous behavior of not favoring his son and grandson, he really had the demeanor of a head of the family.

Chen An took a deep look at the other person and said with a strange expression: "If you weren't so close to the dog, I would have believed you!"
