Chapter 209: Diverting the trouble to the east, the method of advancing to the sixth level of spiritual plants

In the vast and boundless Lost Sea, the sea and sky are one color, and the waves are surging.

A barbarian monk, with a nimble figure, swept across the vast sea, leaving behind only a series of broken waves and the occasional startled seabirds.

His whole body was flashing with lightning, as if the God of Thunder had descended to the earth. His momentum was terrifying and his speed was extremely fast. However, not far behind him, two powerful men from the Qinglong clan were following him closely.

"Second brother, you go back and look after the Mermaid Island first, and I will chase this guy."

While busy chasing the enemy, Qing Ge sent a message to remind his second brother that if they left, the Mermaid Island would be unattended. If an accident occurred, all their hard work would be in vain.

"This birdman is too arrogant. We must take him down. Big brother, you should go back and watch over him!"

Qing Xiong shook his head in dissatisfaction with his elder brother's arrangement and refused.

As soon as he finished speaking, before the other party could speak, he pointed at the "barbarian" in front and continued: "I saw that this guy has taken two pills in a row. I'm afraid his body can't hold on for much longer. As long as his strength is exhausted, it will be in our pockets!"

The barbarian took the medicine twice, and although his movements were covert, Qing Ge saw it.

He looked at the barbarian monks in front of him, thinking as he chased them. After a moment, he nodded and said, "The Dragon and Phoenix tribes are in conflict again over the rare treasures, and this barbarian suddenly came to my Lost Sea during this period. He must have some ulterior motives. I think we should first join forces to capture him and interrogate him carefully. Let's put the matter of Mermaid Island aside for the time being."

The matter of Mermaid Island can be planned later, but the person in front of me has escaped and I don’t know where to find him.

While Chen An was using the Thunder Escape Technique to speed up his journey, he looked back at the two people who were chasing him relentlessly.

Seeing that the other party was about to catch up and the distance between them was gradually shortening, he chuckled, then took out a pill and swallowed it with a move that seemed covert but at the same time allowed the two people behind him to see the clue. After that, he increased his speed slightly, and the distance between him and the two people behind him was slightly increased.

Along the way, he always deliberately controlled his speed, keeping a close but not too distant distance from the opponent, making Qinglong behind him reluctant to give up chasing him.

One of the two parties was fleeing while the other was chasing, and the three figures kept shuttling back and forth in the sea of ​​​​riot.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen An's figure had gradually moved deeper and deeper, gradually approaching the area surrounding the riot.

In the process of chasing, he did not use the True Essence Body Protection Technique to resist the violent spiritual energy, but instead used the Law of Heaven and Earth to resist it with the strength of his physical body. With his current attainments in this area, the effect was no worse than the previous one.

"This kid is dying!"

Seeing the "barbarians" rushing into the sea of ​​​​riots, Qing Xiong widened his eyes in disbelief.

According to the two's guess, the "barbarian" was physically exhausted and probably wouldn't be able to hold on for too long. Unexpectedly, the other party went straight into the riot sea, catching them off guard.

"Keep chasing! This barbarian is not as powerful as he seems. I don't know how long he has been lurking in the Sea of ​​Turbulence. He probably has some plans for my Lost Sea. Let's catch him first!"

Unlike his hesitation at the beginning, Qing Ge was becoming more and more suspicious of Chen An at this time, wondering if he had any shameful intentions, or if he had plans to invade his dragon clan just like he had invaded the Tianyuan Continent.

Soon, the two of them each put on a ghost-proof robe and followed into the area surrounding the riot sea.

After they left, just a few hours later, Chen An suddenly emerged from the inner circle and came to the entrance of the inner circle.

"Just enjoy yourself in there. I won't keep you company any longer."

Relying on the art of escape and the means of resisting the violent spiritual energy, Chen An left the two of them far behind as soon as he entered the inner circle, then he circled for a distance and turned back.

Since the other party had fallen into the trap, he didn't stay here any longer and immediately jumped away.

In just a few days, Chen An returned to the Mermaid Island again.

At this time, he found that Ge Ming and other Yakshas had not left yet, and were confronting Zhan Jing and others outside the island.

Unlike when they left before, now nearly half of the troops on both sides have been killed or injured. The remaining people who are still holding on have a look of fatigue on their faces, and it is estimated that most of them have reached the end of their strength.

Within a few hours, the magic power in the two groups of people was gradually exhausted.

But the Yakshas didn't know that Qinglong had left, and without the order of the two dragons they dared not stop and had to fight to the death; the mermaids on the other side could not stop either and resisted desperately.

After the forceful attack, the two sides soon ran out of magic power and everyone fainted.

On the field, only Zhan Jing and Ge Ming were still struggling and refusing to give up.

Seeing this, Chen An immediately appeared and stopped them, saying, "Stop fighting, both of you!"

Zhan Jing, who was obviously a little exhausted, saw Chen An as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and begged, "Chen An, please help me kill this man, and my mermaid tribe will reward you handsomely afterwards!"

Hearing this, Ge Ming on the opposite side did not show any anxiety, but just looked at her with a half-smile.

Chen An ignored Zhan Jing's insistence and ordered Ge Ming, "Go back. I have led the two people from the Azure Dragon Clan into the inner circle of the Sea of ​​Riots. They can't come out in a short time. After fighting to this extent, it should be enough to report back."

"It's OK to do it, but..."

After hearing this, Ge Ming said bitterly: "This Nine Nether Extinction Talisman has not been used yet, and it will be difficult to explain when I go back. Why don't you just take it away, Senior?"

Chen An shook his head and said, "No, this talisman will make a lot of noise after use, and there will be a lingering aura that will take a long time to dissipate. The Qinglong Clan can tell whether you used it or not by sending someone here."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen An took the talisman, but instead of putting it in his pocket, he took out a talisman pen and lightly smeared it on three key points.

With just a few simple strokes, under the spiritual ink as clear as water at the tip of the pen, most of the spiritual energy of the talisman dissipated and its power was greatly reduced.

Looking at it now, this talisman is almost like a piece of waste paper.

The spiritual ink he used was not ordinary spiritual ink, but a special broken-grain ink made from materials such as bone-eroding sand, pattern-changing fruit, and absolute spiritual grass. This ink has a single function, but it is expensive and very effective. It can penetrate deeply into the talisman and destroy its texture structure, making the talisman ineffective.

It is also highly volatile and will evaporate without a trace in just a few hours, making it an excellent choice for causing damage.

"I have made some changes to this talisman. From the outside, it looks like it has been invalidated due to the leakage of its power. Even an ordinary fifth-level talisman master cannot easily detect the clue. It should be enough for you to take it back and hand it in."

Chen An made all the necessary arrangements and returned the Nine Nether Extinction Talisman to Ge Ming, giving him instructions.

In response, Ge Ming did not ask any more questions, but quietly put the talisman away.

"I think this alone is not enough!" Ge Ming did not leave immediately and was still a little hesitant.

"Oh? What else do you want?" Chen An asked curiously.

"Since we've done it, we have to do it thoroughly!"

Ge Ming gritted his teeth, his face determined, and turned to Zhan Jing and said, "Take up the whip in your hand, come on, don't hold back!"

At this moment, Zhan Jing's face was completely dazed, and her thoughts were a little confused for a moment.

Fortunately, as a high-ranking member of the mermaid tribe, he had a strong ability to respond. He rubbed his slightly swollen temple, sorted out the previous conversation between the two, and understood what the situation was.

Judging from the interaction between the two, it seems that they are going to stage a self-torture tactic in order to deal with the Qinglong clan!

Although this was actually happening right before her eyes, she still couldn't believe it. The brutal and cruel Yaksha tribe would actually deceive the Azure Dragon tribe in order to escape the fight?
Seeing Zhan Jing was a little hesitant, Ge Ming stepped forward and reminded her: "Go ahead, this fight is not what I want, but the Qinglong tribe forced me to do it. Solve this matter quickly so that I can go back and report!"

After being stunned for a moment, Zhan Jing nodded slightly, raised the magic whip in her hand and said: "In this case, I will not hold back!"

"Come on!" Ge Ming closed his eyes. Chen An shook his head gently, turned around and flew to the Mermaid Island silently. Before he went far, he heard Ge Ming's screams from behind him, which were heartbreaking and echoed in the vast sea for a long time.

He couldn't help but look back, and saw a hideous wound on Ge Ming's back. He was unaware of it and directly took out a big net. He threw those Yakshas who were exhausted and unconscious into it one by one, and barely supported his body to slowly drag the big net away.

Just based on this determination and perseverance, this boy is a real man!

If he were immortal, his future achievements would definitely be more than just becoming a god.

"Chen An!"

Zhan Jing dragged her heavy body to catch up, her face showing fatigue, but her expression was clear. She stared at Chen An with her beautiful eyes and said, "Thank you for helping me out and leading those two Azure Dragons away. Otherwise, the Mermaid Island would be in danger."

"Nothing, I just want to read quietly in the Heritage Pavilion, and the old man in the Heritage Pavilion has already promised to give me a reward, so you don't have to thank me."

Chen An's tone was flat. He didn't want to get too involved with the mermaids. If nothing unexpected happened, after reading the martial arts books in the inheritance pavilion, he would not come here again unless there was something important.

"Second Grandfather, as a Void Refining cultivator, it is difficult for people to discover his true cultivation level. He has been hiding his true strength for so many years. It is indeed hard for him."

Speaking of the old man in the inheritance pavilion, Zhan Jing's expression was gloomy, with an inexplicable sadness.

Chen An didn't want to say much about the mermaids' family affairs. He responded with a few words and then jumped towards the inheritance pavilion.

This action made Zhan Jing's face reveal a bit of grievance. She looked at Chen An's departing back with resentment, and the waves in her heart could not calm down for a long time.

However, many members of the tribe were killed or injured in this battle, and many of them were hit by the Water Eye's divine light and were dying and in urgent need of rescue. She had no time to worry about personal matters, and quickly sorted herself out and left the place, gathering the tribe members to deal with post-war matters.

Heritage Court.

As soon as he arrived here, the old man came up to him and threw a token to Chen An, saying, "Thanks to your help, Jing girl was saved. This is my token. If you want to come to the Heritage Pavilion Island in the future, no one will dare to stop you."

This was the promise he had made to Chen An, and he fulfilled it now.

"Okay, I'm done."

Chen An accepted the token without hesitation and was about to return to the place where he had studied before, intending to continue his unfinished work.

"The Azure Dragon Clan has already suspected me. In order to prevent such things from happening, I may have to leave the Mermaid Island soon."

The old man sighed softly and said quietly.

"If you leave, Mermaid Island will become more dangerous."

"No, the spirit-proof clothing made by my tribe can resist the violent spiritual energy and is useful to the Azure Dragon Tribe. Moreover, the tears of mermaids are the main material. They are unlikely to make things too difficult for the Mermaid Island. This battle is only against me."

"As long as you know what's going on."

"There is one more thing. After I leave, I hope you can help take care of the Mermaid Island." The old man looked at Chen An and said bluntly.

"Old man Zhan, you are so shameless. I have taken a great risk to secretly help you resolve the crisis just for your few broken books. Don't even think about letting me confront the Azure Dragon Clan head-on again!"

Chen An said dissatisfiedly that the strength of the Qinglong clan might not be too strong, and their highest cultivation level was no higher than Lianxu, but as a branch of the dragon clan, they had the first-class force in the entire cultivation world behind them!
It's okay if the conflict happens secretly, such as this time using the identity of the barbarians. As long as you are careful, there won't be too much risk. But if you have a head-on conflict with the other party, it's hard to say. You might provoke a powerful dragon and there is a real risk of death.

"As you wish."

Surprisingly, Old Man Zhan seemed to be indifferent to the matter and had no intention of forcing it.

This made Chen An feel relieved, and he immediately plunged into the sea of ​​books, thinking about quickly absorbing all the knowledge and leaving as soon as possible.

During this period, Luo Ling'er secretly communicated with Ge Ming. After receiving the news from the Yaksha tribe, she informed Chen An through the communication array.

After Ge Ming returned, he informed Qing Ge of the Qinglong clan of the outcome of the battle.

Qing Ge, who returned from the sea of ​​riots in disgrace, was slightly surprised that the Nine Nether Extinction Talisman had failed to work. He also cursed the monk who had killed people and robbed people, but he did not have too many doubts.

The Yaksha tribe has been loyal to the Qinglong tribe for many years and has done many dirty things for the latter. Moreover, the Yaksha suffered heavy losses in this battle and it was not Ge Ming's fault. Naturally, this would not cause dissatisfaction in Qing Ge, but instead he directed all his resentment towards the "barbarians".

At this time, Qing Ge was busy retrieving the "barbarian" monk from the turbulent sea and could not pay too much attention to the mermaids.

This is a good thing. Chen An can stay in the Inheritance Pavilion with peace of mind from then on.

The mermaids have accumulated a lot over countless years. Even if we remove a small number of skills and supernatural powers that are only applicable to mermaids, there are still a lot of remaining.

In order to save trouble, Chen An ignored those relatively rough and flawed techniques and only studied the more mature ones.

Among them, he also discovered many interesting magical skills, such as a magical skill called Qingxin Xuanbing Jue. This skill can condense a mysterious ice heart in the body of the practitioner. The mysterious ice heart can emit bursts of cold air, neutralizing the violent energy in the spiritual energy to achieve the standard of survival in the violent sea.

However, compared to the Zhenyuan Body Protection Technique, it is still slightly inferior. Chen An merely memorized it and had no intention of practicing it.

In addition, in one of the exercises, there is also a method for making a fifth-level talisman called the Soul-summoning Talisman, which makes Chen An quite interested.

Making a spirit-summoning talisman can directly transfer the powerful spiritual power sealed in the talisman to oneself, turning oneself into a semi-alienated state and inheriting most of its strength and talent, thereby significantly improving combat strength.

As for what kind of alienation will occur, it depends on what species is sealed. If it is a demon, it will become half-demon. If it is a human, it will not have much effect if it does not have any powerful talents.

If a barbarian with outstanding strength is sealed, ordinary cultivators can also use this opportunity to temporarily use the Law of Heaven and Earth to greatly enhance their own strength.

Of course, there are limitations. The prerequisite for using this talisman is that the physical body needs to meet certain requirements, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the impact of this initiation and will explode and die!

Chen An silently memorized the method of refining this talisman, and planned to find a suitable opportunity to try it out if he had time in the future.

Several months later, Chen An stopped only after he had read all the jade slips about spiritual plants.

"This old man is so scheming!"

Chen An sighed secretly. No wonder Old Man Zhan didn't care about his refusal to look after the Mermaid Island. It turned out that he was sure of his intention to obtain the method of advancing to the Jade Wave Spiritual Silk.

According to the records in the mermaid books, if this blue wave spiritual silk wants to advance from the fifth level to the sixth level, three conditions must be met. Otherwise, even if this spiritual plant is ten thousand or a hundred thousand years old, it will only be the fifth level.

One is to soak the seeds of the blue silk in deep-sea springs to accumulate enough spiritual energy for it.

Deep-sea springs are hidden deep in the endless ocean. Mermaids don't have them, but dragons have a few.

But given the exclusive nature of the dragon clan, it would be extremely difficult, almost impossible, for outsiders to borrow it.

However, Chen An has an alternative plan, which is to put it in the inner circle of the riot sea and use his own methods. It should be no worse than the deep-sea spring.

The second thing is to use Water Soul Crystal, which is a special spiritual material produced outside the riot sea and is relatively rare.

Over the years, Qingze and his two companions had repeatedly entered the place to look for treasure, but they only managed to obtain three palm-sized pieces.

These are all easy to deal with, except the last one, which makes Chen An feel dilemma.

Mermaid Tears!
