Chapter 210: The Transaction with the Mermaid, the Eighth Level of the Spiritualization

For the Blue Wave Spirit Silk to advance from level five to level six, it requires sufficient spiritual energy, water soul crystals, and mermaid tears; none of the three can be missing.

The first two are not too rare for Chen An. The spiritual energy in the Sea of ​​Chaos is almost endless. With the help of the Spirit Infusion Method, he can get as much as he wants as long as the spiritual plants can absorb it.

As for the Water Soul Crystal, it might be a little rare, but it is produced in the Sea of ​​Turbulence. If you spend more spirit stones or ask Ge Ming to send people to look for it, it shouldn't be in short supply.

The only thing is that the mermaid tears are the specialty of the Mermaid Island, and they are an important material for making spirit-proof clothes. They are also related to the transaction between the other party and the Azure Dragon Clan. If he wants to buy them in large quantities, it may not be easy.

He sighed lightly, put down the jade slip in his hand, and walked out of the area where the records related to spiritual plants were stored.

Old man Zhan was lying on a rocking chair with his eyes slightly closed, enjoying the tranquility of the inheritance pavilion. He seemed to have sensed some movement, and slowly opened his cloudy eyes. He yawned lazily, with a cynical smile on his lips, and said, "Have you finished reading it all?"

Chen An nodded slightly, without much expression on his face, and just responded lightly: "Yeah."

After that, he did not stay for long, turned around and walked straight out, intending to find Zhan Jing and ask about the mermaid's tears.

However, just as Chen An was about to leave the Heritage Pavilion, he suddenly heard the lazy and deep voice of old man Zhan from behind him: "It's no use for you to look for Zhan Jing. Mermaid Tears cannot be mass-produced. The quantity is very limited. The island treasures this thing very much. It must be used first to make spirit-avoiding clothes. There is no extra for you."

Old Man Zhan seemed to see through Chen An's plan and reminded him.

Hearing this, Chen An paused abruptly, then turned around, staring at old man Zhan with burning eyes, as if he wanted to find out something from his seemingly ordinary face.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Old man Zhan shrank back, his face full of disgust and he said, "I don't have this habit, go find someone else."

"Without further ado!"

Knowing that the old man was joking, Chen An interrupted him directly: "What do you want me to do in order to give up the Mermaid Teardrop?"

Seeing Chen An's willingness, Old Man Zhan said with a smile on his face, "After the last incident, it's time for me to leave. As long as you guard the Mermaid Island for me for a while and ensure the temporary safety of the mermaids on the island, I will agree to give you 20% of the Mermaid Tears."

"By the way, I happen to have a few here. If you agree, I can give them to you right now."

As he spoke, he threw out a gray bag, played with it in his hands, and made faces at Chen An.

Chen An had no expression on his face. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "I want 50%!"

"Fifty percent? That's too much. You're asking for too much. Thirty percent at most!"

"No, forget it. Please find someone else."

"Hey! Don't go. 40% is fine, okay, 50% is 50%."

After some bargaining, Chen An successfully obtained 50% of the teardrop production of Mermaid Island.

Old man Zhan had a look of pain on his face, but there was nothing he could do. Now the only one who could help him was Chen An, and he couldn't find anyone else if not Chen An.

"I can promise you, but let me make it clear in advance that if the matter is beyond my ability, I will not risk my life for the Mermaid Island." After Chen An agreed to this matter, he made it clear in advance.

"Of course you can. That's what we should do." Old man Zhan nodded repeatedly and agreed readily.

Chen An felt that it was not a loss. If there was any trouble, he could let Ge Ming solve it secretly. If it was too dangerous, he could just run away.

"Then I'll go back and prepare. By the way, who will guard the Heritage Pavilion after you leave? It won't be me, right?"

"You are a foreigner, how can I let you guard it? Otherwise, you would have emptied my place."

Old Man Zhan joked that after he left, with Chen An's strength, he could vacate the place at any time as long as he was willing, but the Inheritance Pavilion was already open to him, so there was no need to do so.

"After I leave, Zhan Qing will come here to take over."

Peiling Island.

Chen An left the Mermaid Island and flew all the way back to Peiling Island.

At this time, there were only Luo Ling'er and Qingze on the island. Although they were here, they did not slack off. Qingze either entered the Riot Sea to look for resources or practiced on the island. Luo Ling'er took care of the Yaksha tribe's affairs on behalf of Chen An.

After returning to the island, Chen An instructed Luo Ling'er: "Tell Ge Mingduo to collect some water soul crystals. I can use them."

"Yes, but the Qinglong tribe is keeping a close eye on me. I can't contact Ge Ming too frequently. I can only agree on a time to pick it up one by one." Luo Linger reported truthfully.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it is provided steadily."

Chen An nodded slightly, then turned to look at Qingze and said with a smile: "It is quite difficult for you to practice alone here. Have you ever thought about returning to the Qinglong clan?"

"no!"

Hearing this, Qingze's face turned stern. He immediately stood up and patted his chest to assure, "I don't have such thoughts at all. It's much better to be able to practice with you here than in Beizhou. I'm already satisfied and I have absolutely no second thoughts!"

Seeing the other party's actions, Chen An laughed in silence. This is a show of loyalty, but I really want you to sneak in and return to your roots!
"Don't be like this. The Azure Dragon Clan is not very stable. Just in case, I need someone who can keep track of their actions at any time. You are also a member of the Azure Dragon Clan, so you can provide me with some convenience. Moreover, the Azure Dragon Clan has the support of the Dragon Clan, a first-class force, and they have a lot of resources in their hands. If you go back, you will have a greater hope of advancing to the Void Refining Realm with the help of the Dragon Clan's power."

After saying that, Chen An added: "Of course, it's up to you to decide. I won't force you."

The first few sentences made Qingze fall into deep thought, but when he heard the last sentence, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Not forcing it?
My life is in your hands, how can I dare not agree?

However, he felt that what Chen An said was right. Even if he could break through to the late stage of Spirit Transformation in the future if he stayed here, it would be very difficult to break through to the late stage of Void Refinement without support.

After all, when one reaches this level of cultivation, cultivation resources are only an important part, not absolute. For example, inheritance is also very important.

Beizhou Qinglong has lost contact with the dragon clan for a long time, and the inheritance of his skills has been lost. If he practices alone, he can at best reach the peak of the spiritual transformation realm.

With the support of the Dragon Clan, as long as the strength is sufficient, these resources and inheritances should not be lacking. Even if they cannot be obtained easily, there will be opportunities to fight for them. Unlike now, everything has to be found by oneself.

As he thought about it, Qingze's frown gradually relaxed, and even a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this change in expression, Chen An knew the other party's choice in his heart. He immediately took out the Azure Dragon Order and said, "In two years, the Azure Dragon Clan will hold the Dragon Blood Conference. You can easily enter with this order."

As long as he goes in and finds a chance to reveal his identity, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to return to the Dragon Clan. After all, Qingze is a genuine Qinglong Clan member. Although he is from Beizhou, his dragon bloodline is beyond doubt and is genuine. Reaching out his hands to take the Qinglong Order, Qingze said solemnly: "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

After giving instructions for these two things, Qingze and Luo Ling'er would naturally do them. Chen An felt relieved. He then checked the spiritual plants and left.

Going deeper into the Sea of ​​Turbulence, he followed the path to the Hurricane Sea. He glanced at the place where he had practiced for many years, smiled lightly, and then headed towards the inner area.

With his current strength, it is not difficult for him to enter the inner circle for training.

On the surface, the spiritual energy in the inner area is richer and more powerful, and it seems that it is easier to practice, but at the same time the spiritual energy is also more violent and takes longer to refine. In terms of efficiency, it is not as good as the Hurricane Sea. This is why he practiced here before.

But this was before. Now Chen An's cultivation has already advanced to the late stage of incarnation. He then obtained a wave of green spiritual silk. His attainments in the Qingling Huaqi Jue have improved a bit. After the efficiency of refining violent spiritual energy has been improved, it is more appropriate for him to practice in the inner circle.

As soon as Chen An stepped into the inner area of ​​the Sea of ​​Riot, the black fog in front of him, which was originally almost still, seemed to sense the breath of living beings and instantly became crazy and surged continuously.

In the blink of an eye, they seemed to transform into a black dragon, which came in an instant, covering Chen An's entire body and was about to swallow him.

However, under the protection of the True Essence Body Protection Technique, after the black mist touched the light blue light shield on Chen An's body, it was like hitting a city wall and could not shake it at all.

Seeing this, Chen An smiled slightly and patrolled the area with the Zhenyuan Body Protection Spirit Shield on his head.

If you want to practice, you must find a safe place. Although ordinary cultivators cannot enter the inner area, once you encounter other creatures in there, they must be tough guys. The stronger and more numerous the means of protection are, the safer it will be.

After going deeper for a distance and patrolling the surrounding area, Chen An found a reef island which was only a dozen feet in radius.

After confirming that there was no problem on the island, he reached out and took out a talisman. The edge of the talisman was outlined with gold thread, and the lines of the talisman exuded a faint spiritual aura. Upon closer inspection, it was not much different from an ordinary talisman, but it seemed to have no feeling when touched, as if there was nothing there.

This is talisman paper made from the fifth-level spiritual plant Hidden Spirit Bamboo, which has the natural ability to conceal auras. Then, use spiritual ink made from starlight marrow, ancient copper powder, and dragon blood essence to outline the talisman patterns to create this heaven and earth concealing talisman.

Its function is to conceal the monk's own breath and body shape. If there are enough of them and they are arranged in a certain pattern, even the surrounding environment can be concealed.

It can be said to be hidden between heaven and earth, and away from all things.

This is also why Chen An chose this small reef island to hide, as the place is small and easy to hide.

After carefully checking the surrounding environment again, Chen An put his hands together and gently lifted up the talisman. As he gently clapped it, the runes on the talisman instantly lit up, emitting dazzling golden light.

The golden light flashed and disappeared instantly, and Chen An seemed to have merged into the entire sea. His figure gradually became blurred and finally disappeared completely on the reef island, as if nothing had happened before.

As time passed, in just a moment, even the reef island completely disappeared into the sea.

There was only the nearly still black-tailed spiritual energy around, flowing quietly at an extremely slow speed.

Time flies, and eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, within the peaceful sea of ​​riots, although things seemed calm on the surface, a storm was brewing inside.

Under the cover of the Heaven and Earth Concealing Talisman, Chen An frantically practiced the Qingling Huaqi Jue, tirelessly refining the violent black mist spiritual energy around him. After it passed through the meridians and returned to his Dantian, his Nascent Soul, which looked like a real person, continued to grow stronger.

Time passed by unknowingly, and Chen An's aura became stronger and stronger. He was only a step away from breaking through to the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation.

According to his training speed, it would probably take only two to three months at most.

The path of cultivation is like rowing against the current, if you don't move forward you will move backward. However, in this quiet sea, Chen An was immersed in cultivation. Suddenly, an imperceptible movement, like a breeze blowing across a calm sponge, broke the tranquility of the sea.

Chen An raised his eyebrows slightly and leaned his head forward to listen to the noise outside.

At this moment, the black mist and spiritual energy outside seemed to be torn apart, and two rays of light speeding past cut through the sea surface, like meteors cutting through the night sky, and stopped near the sea area where Chen An was.

Qing Xiong's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he scanned the surroundings in an attempt to find some clues. However, on this sea shrouded in black fog, he found nothing except emptiness and silence. He immediately became a little unhappy: "Brother, we have been looking for such a long time, why are there still no traces of that barbarian guy? Could he have escaped?"

"The barbarians are always straightforward and rarely know how to hide. I guess they left or are just hiding somewhere."

The two of them patrolled the nearby sea area but still found nothing. Qing Ge shook his head and sighed slightly.

Since the last time they tracked the so-called "barbarians", except for returning to the tribe twice to deal with the affairs of the tribe, the two brothers have been searching for each other in the turbulent sea for these years.

They searched almost every place they could find in the inner area. They were not sure they could set foot in other places, but they estimated that the "barbarians" could not enter either.

"But it doesn't matter. I have already sent people to guard the key entrances and exits. As long as that guy shows up, he will definitely not escape the eyes and ears of my Qinglong clan. Let's stop here for now. It won't be too late for us to catch him when he shows up."

After years of concentrated searching, Qing Ge and Qing Xiong were extremely exhausted and no longer had the energy to continue.

The "barbarians" haven't appeared for such a long time. I guess they either took advantage of the opportunity to escape or hid somewhere and refused to come out.

But as long as the other party is still in the territory of his Qinglong clan, he will find him sooner or later!
"By the way, big brother, I heard that a member of our tribe who was away from home has returned. He seems to have good aptitude and character. I'll pay more attention to him in the future."

The noise outside gradually died down, and the nearby sea returned to calm. Only the seemingly endless black mist and spiritual energy were flowing at an extremely slow speed.

"These two guys still don't give up."

Seeing that the two people from the Qinglong clan did not stay for too long and did not find any clues of his hiding, Chen An's brows relaxed a lot.

The cultivation levels of these two are at the second and third levels of the Refining Void Realm respectively, which makes them much stronger than Ge Wuming of the Yaksha clan. If they really confront each other, it will inevitably be a bit tricky.

However, he had used enough heaven and earth concealing talismans on this reef island, so even the other party with high-level cultivation would find it difficult to detect any clues.

The waves subsided, and soon Chen An immersed himself in cultivation again.

At this moment, the best strategy is to break through cultivation quickly and advance to the realm of refining emptiness as soon as possible.

Three months later.

Finally, with the endless supply of black mist spiritual energy, a roar came from Chen An's body. This movement even caused a ripple in the surrounding black mist spiritual energy.

At this moment, his cultivation had successfully broken through to the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation!
