Compassion Sea.

Azure Sea Domain, Azure Sea Immortal Sect.

"Uncle Sect Master, it's not good!"

Internal Affairs Elder looked nervous. "Three hours ago, someone touched the Surveillance Array arranged by the sect."

Iron Fan True Monarch, who was looking at the invitation in his hand and immersed in thought, changed his expression. "Who is the guarding disciple? Why didn't you report it immediately!"

Didn't wait for Internal Affairs Elder to answer.

He immediately asked, "Which Surveillance Array was warned? What intensity? Have you informed the other junior brothers in the sect?"

The top priority is to deal with things first.

"Reply to Uncle Sect Master. The warning comes from Secluded Doom Forbidden Land. It is suspected that a Golden Core cultivator has crossed over. I haven't informed you yet. I will send a message now."

Internal Affairs Elder said while taking out Sound Transmission Spirit Sword.

"Wait a minute, Secluded Doom Forbidden Land?"

Iron Fan True Monarch frowned slightly. "Why are there still people thinking about going to that kind of place?"

"Are you sure the person Surveillance Array warned was Golden Core cultivator?"

Internal Affairs Elder heard the implication and nodded quickly. "Return to Uncle Sect Master, what I saw is absolutely true."

Iron Fan True Monarch's eyes flickered. "I know about this. From now on, I will block the news and leak half a sentence to the public, Sect Rules Punishment."

"In addition, go back and educate your guarding disciples properly."

"There will never be a next time such a thing that misleads the public, do you understand?"

Internal Affairs Elder quickly nodded in agreement, but his eyes were quietly observing him, and he became more and more curious as to where Secluded Doom Forbidden Land was in the sect.

the other side.

Secluded Doom Forbidden Land, that is, Secluded Doom Island, and Xiao Chen are searching the surrounding area.

Judging from intuition, the snake was more likely to have been affected by some kind of force, causing it to mutate.

He didn't want to be eaten by Demon Beast suddenly in the middle of his sleep, or encounter any other bad luck.

While searching, Xiao Chen was also chewing Sea Fish Meat, sorting out his next plan.

Although the island looks deserted, it doesn't matter.

Now that we've arrived at the Compassion Sea, it won't take long to get in touch with the other monks.

Now I am on my way to Cultivator of Magic and have arrived at Mid-stage Golden Core.

In the next period of time, I will definitely have to steadily refine my true essence, and also look for spiritual objects that can help break through Minor Bottleneck.

As for Body Cultivator, due to the previous focus on sprinting Mid-stage Golden Core, now it is still Early-stage Golden Core, and the progress has been slowed down a lot.

Just eating Sea Fish Meat is obviously too slow. Considering that Spirit Stone is relatively abundant now, you can consider purchasing some Enhance Qi and Blood and Body Refining spiritual items when you go to the market. It is a two-pronged approach.

Originally, it was almost dusk before encountering the white fog.

At this time, Xiao Chen was searching, and before he knew it, it was night, and a bright moon rose quietly.

When the bright moonlight flowed to the earth, he suddenly saw a little silvery glow in a dark green vine in front of him.

"Oh, what is this?"

Leaning over to push aside the dense branches and leaves, Xiao Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

Three Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom plants are exuding mercury-like moonlight, and there are still a few drops of green spiritual dew condensed under the round umbrellas.

"No, is this something I can pick up directly?"

"Can I also have such good luck?"

The reason why Xiao Chen is a bit unbelievable is because Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom is to Golden Core cultivator what Five-Colored Golden Lotus is to Qi Refining Cultivator.

Jade Marrow Nascent Soul Pill, which is refined from Main Ingredient, is the famous Rank-Breaking Spiritual Medicine.

"One chalcedony pattern, two... four chalcedony patterns."

Xiao Chen counted and found that these three Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom had survived for more than 400 years, fully meeting the picking standards.

He immediately took out White Dew Willow Support Gloves and Spirit Sealing Jade Box from Vast Sea Ring.

No matter what the situation is, since you encounter it, take it off first and then talk about it.

However, before Xiao Chen could get closer, a powerful Spiritual Power pressure suddenly appeared in the air that far exceeded Golden Core cultivator.

The visitor is Nascent Soul True Lord!

He immediately retreated cautiously, only to see a female cultivator in white, clad in moonlight, walking barefoot in the air, walking towards him.

The starry eyes are dotted with lacquer, the white teeth are covered with frost, the plain gauze is like wrapped mist, and the ring is like shining light. The snowy hair on both sides is like falling silver from a waterfall, and a little cinnabar between the eyebrows is like a red plum blooming. As the lotus step moved lightly, the Red Thread Bell wrapped around the ankle made a soft "ding" sound.

The moment he saw Xiao Chen, a look of surprise that could not be concealed suddenly flashed across Su Li's originally calm eyes.

There are Fourth-Tier Illusion Array around Secluded Doom Island, and ordinary Golden Core cultivator cannot see the island at all, let alone step into it.

She has lived alone on this isolated island for hundreds of years and has almost forgotten the outside world.

You can imagine the surprise in your heart when you suddenly see a stranger.

The two people's eyes met in the air, and Su Li was slightly startled. She clearly saw that there was no fear in the other person's eyes.

"You are quite brave."

She opened her red lips lightly and her voice was as cold as ice spring.

Su Li has the blood of the Ancient Witch Clan flowing in his body, and was born with the curse of [Moon Eclipse].

Affected by Curse, in the eyes of ordinary people, her whole body is wrapped with twisted black and purple curse lines, and her right face is covered with spiderweb-like blood scabs, making her look like an evil Rakshasa crawling out of the depths of hell.

"Um, this junior is here for the first time, so I didn't know that my seniors are here to do the Qing Dynasty. No offense intended, please forgive me, seniors."

Xiao Chen has Divinity Veil who is directly immune to Curse. What he sees is the true appearance of Su Li, so naturally he won't feel scared.

At this time, the owner caught me picking Spirit Herb, which was a bit embarrassing.

He knew that with his own luck, he could pick up Red Sandstone.

These three Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom plants really do have owners, and they belong to one Nascent Soul True Lord.

"How about just grabbing it and running away?"

Xiao Chen Such a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

Seizing treasure is almost a monk's instinct, not to mention it is a good thing that will help Nascent Soul Formation.

Now that I have seen it, I am determined not to let it go directly.

But the problem is that the faint coercion exuded by the unfamiliar Nascent Soul True Lord across from him is nearly twice as strong as Ancestor of the Dai Family.

Once you steal Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom, it is equivalent to offending the other party and the forces behind the other party.

Xiao Chen thought about it and felt that we should take the initiative to leave some room for everything.

After all, similar things have happened twice inexplicably before, which is really disturbing.

He has just come here, and if he messes with a big influence, Compassion Sea may not be able to stay any longer, so he still has to think of a comprehensive solution.

He glanced at Spirit Herb and began to think about countermeasures in his mind.

"Ding!"

Red Thread Bell rings, Su Li suddenly approaches.

For a moment, their cheeks were almost touching each other, so close that they could smell the scent coming from each other.

She deliberately turned her head to expose the right side of her face, and the tip of her hair almost brushed the tip of Xiao Chen's nose.

The rotten eyelids there were oozing pus and blood, and at the same time, there was a strange smell like fallen flowers mixed with rotten leaves in late autumn.

In all these years, no one has been able to see this without being scared.

What a fast speed!

This sudden explosive power is not weaker than Xiao Chen and Body Cultivator.

But the question is, what do you mean by putting it together?

He was surprised at the other party's inexplicable action, and at the same time, an alarm bell sounded in his heart.

Since the vest Golden Light Rogue Cultivator is no longer available, and in order to save real energy consumption when crossing Kunpeng Sea.

Xiao Chen did not maintain his disguise, but restored his true appearance.

The main reason is that logically speaking, Three Great Families of Nether Sky Sea should not be able to post Wanted Notice here, right?

Did she recognize me?

Should I just unplug Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom and run?

.

Doesn't this scare you?

Su Li's big eyes were full of doubts.

Xiao Chen's unusual reaction was completely inconsistent with her past knowledge.

Everyone will be horrified when they see the twisted lines on her face and the rotten flesh inside for the first time.

But why is this Golden Core cultivator in front of us so calm?

There was curiosity and vigilance in his eyes, but there was no fear that Su Li was so familiar with.

Is he really not afraid of me?

Hey, what is he looking at?

Following Xiao Chen's subconscious gaze, there were three Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom plants.

Looking carefully again, I saw the White Dew Willow Support Gloves he was wearing.

"That's it..."

Su Li's mind flashed back to those figures who tried every possible means to sneak into the island more than a hundred years ago with evil intentions and greed Witch Blood Power.

I immediately understood that Xiao Chen must be of the same mind.

It turns out that this is what I came here for. I think I have inquired about it in advance.

"Hey, you want Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom?"

She took two steps back, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone. "I can grant your wish. As long as you help me make a few statues, they will all be yours."

Although she was full of disgust for such people who were greedy for power, she did not express it directly.

First, Su Li has not communicated with anyone for nearly a hundred years.

I can only express my loneliness to a few statues that have been damaged by Curse.

Secondly, it would undoubtedly be a good thing if someone could help me recreate a few statues.

Anyway, this guy has been infected by Curse, and he probably won't survive more than three days, so he should make the best use of his power.

The scary appearance is just a side effect of Curse.

The real danger of Nine Yin Calamity Spirit Body is that all monks around Su Li will be affected by Curse.

When they were weak in their early years, fellow senior sisters Junior Sister would suffer from strange illnesses for no apparent reason, and would become unstable and even go crazy while practicing.

It wasn't until Su Li broke through Nascent Soul that the [Moon Eclipse] spell rooted in her bloodline was officially activated.

Since then, all vegetation within a hundred miles has withered. Even Golden Core cultivator within ten miles will be infected and mutate to death in less than three days.

The previous one, Strange Snake, just happened to be passing by underground unintentionally, and it became like that.

"Senior's orders should be followed by juniors. However, I also have a small request!"

Although Xiao Chen hadn't thought of a countermeasure, the other party took the initiative to propose a deal that made him excited.

But things went so smoothly, but it made him doubtful and felt that the situation was not that simple. There must be some special secret behind the conditions proposed by this mysterious senior.

However, considering the importance of Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom, he decided to agree to the transaction first.

It is just to prevent Su Li from regretting midway or breaking his promise or other unexpected situations.

Xiao Chen put forward a condition. "Junior hopes to pick a Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom in advance, so that we can be more motivated to work."

Get part of the reward first, so that if something happens midway, your work will not be in vain.

Su Li heard this and sneered in his heart, he is indeed a greedy person.

But she still nodded. "No problem."

Anyway, Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom is not important to her at all.

"Pick one yourself, then go to the other side of the island and help me cut down two good Spirit-Sealing Sinking Cloud Wood and come back."

Su Li finished their tasks and turned around to leave. "I'll wait for you in the stone house over there. Remember, two pills are enough, don't take more."

"Ding!"

The red rope shakes crisply and makes a clear sound in the wind.

Although she looked unhurried, she was already dozens of feet away with one step and disappeared in an instant.

Huh?

Leaving now?

Xiao Chen blinked and decisively decided to get Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom first.

He specially picked the one that looked the most energetic and had the strongest medicinal properties and put it away.

Then I figured out the direction of the island, and followed Su Li's request to go to the other side of the island to find Spirit-Sealing Sinking Cloud Wood.

To be honest, this task was far simpler than he imagined.

The island is full of flowers and green grass, especially the one hundred miles near the sea, where there is also a large lush forest.

It is completely opposite to the situation here where there is no grass growing except for a few Spirit Plant.

Spirit-Sealing Sinking Cloud Wood grows in the forest, there are hundreds of them.

So much so that Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. Do I still need to do such a simple thing?

However, he quickly realized that the other party must be from some big force, and of course he would not bother to do such rough work in person.

As the name suggests, Spirit-Sealing Sinking Cloud Wood can effectively resist the erosion of monk Spiritual Power, so if you want to cut it down, you have to rely solely on physical strength, which is completely inconsistent with the style of a great monk.

It is estimated that subordinates will come to take care of chores regularly, but this time they just met me in advance.

So I just ordered him to do it for me. This kind of behavior is not uncommon in Cultivation World.

"Come on, we are rough people anyway and don't mind chopping wood."

Xiao Chen took out Flying Sword, used it as a saw horizontally, and bent down to saw.

the other side.

Su Li returned to an old and simple bluestone house on the seaside.

Quietly staring at several old wooden sculptures placed in different directions.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked the Curse erosion marks on the statue, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.

"He worked so hard to crack the maze and came here. He is definitely not a good person. He deserves to be infected by Curse."

Su Li murmured to herself, her voice was as soft as the breeze, and her sighs could hardly be heard clearly.

The slightly twisted statue in front of him remained silent as always.

"Senior, I'm back, what will I do next?"

Within two hours, Xiao Chen came back carrying two long pieces of spiritual wood and placed them directly in front of the stone house.

"So fast?"

Su Li came back to his senses and was a little surprised when he looked at the fresh wood.

Spirit-Sealing Sinking Cloud Wood But Fourth-Tier Spirit Wood and Golden Core cultivator are not easy to cut down.

She originally thought this process would take at least two days, but she didn't expect it to be over in less than half a day.

"Who asked you to come directly!"

Su Li suddenly changed his face. "Stay away from me, move under the beach over there."

Huh?

Didn't you say that you would wait for me in the stone house?

Xiao Chen rolled up his sleeves on the spot and shouldered Spirit-Sealing Sinking Cloud Wood again. "Okay."

A man who doesn't stick to trivial matters is mainly because he can't defeat his opponent.

For the sake of the other two Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom, I endured such a small thing.

Su Li watched Xiao Chen retreat and sighed secretly.

The closer you get to her, the stronger Curse Effect becomes.

In order to allow this tool person to live for two more days and do more work, it is best for her to keep a certain distance.

"You've been there these past few days, helping me make the statue."

Su Li's voice came from afar. "There is a cave under the cliff. There are several portraits on the innermost wall. I carved them based on the appearance of the portraits."

"As long as we can make two qualified statues, our deal will be considered complete."

Of course, in reality, this is an impossible task.

Although Xiao Chen cuts wood so quickly, Su Li has guessed that he has probably also mastered Body Refining, but the difficulty of sawing and carving is completely different.

If we don't have four or five days, we can't do it at all.

.

One thing to say, carving may seem simple, but it is actually a bit difficult to get started.

Although Xiao Chen has strong body control, it has never done anything like this before. In addition, Spirit-Sealing Sinking Cloud Wood is not easy to handle, so the carved statue naturally does not look very good.

But it doesn't matter, because Su Li doesn't seem to care about this at all.

It's hard to imagine that a Nascent Soul True Lord only does two things every day.

The first thing I did was stare at the dilapidated old statue in a daze.

The second thing is to stare at the sea in the distance in a daze.

Xiao Chen is very puzzled. Is Nascent Soul Cultivator so leisurely?

Don't you need to practice?

When he took another break, he looked over there and saw Su Li still holding the mottled statue in one hand, dazed.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Dignity Nascent Soul True Lord, it is impossible to neglect your cultivation, there must be some deep meaning in doing so.

Xiao Chen observed it carefully and soon realized that every time the other party was in a trance, the surrounding waves would follow the rapid three-pointer.

Good guy, are you using this method to gain enlightenment?

According to legend, there is indeed a genius who plays Path of Enlightenment, and I seem to have encountered him today.

Understanding that the other party was enlightening, Xiao Chen lost his curiosity and continued to study the wood in his hand.

As the saying goes, it's a long night and a long dream, so it's important to quickly get the two statues, complete the deal and leave here.

"Bang bang bang!"

The knocking sound of Flying Sword sounded regularly. Su Li came back to his senses and turned to look at Xiao Chen.

It has been almost two days, Curse should start to work.

She really wanted to know how this bold and greedy Golden Core young man would look in such a mess after finding out that he was being haunted by Curse.

Is he yelling angrily? Is he trembling in fear? Or is he kneeling down in despair and begging for mercy?

In any case, it will appear hysterical.

But it doesn't matter, no matter what the outcome is, I will take off all the Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushrooms and bury them with him as agreed.

"Bang!"

Spirit-Sealing Sinking Cloud Wood interrupted in response.

After all, it is just raw material that has not yet been processed. After all, it cannot withstand the rough processing method of Xiao Chen in order to rush for time.

Looking at the wood that was broken into two pieces, he immediately felt clearly what haste makes waste.

Previously Su Li specifically emphasized that 'two pieces are enough, don't take more', but now the wood is broken, what should I do?

"Um..."

Xiao Chen turned around and found that the other party was also looking over, and simply asked tentatively, "Senior, shall I chop down another spiritual tree?"

I accidentally damaged the other party's wood worth thousands of Spirit Stone. I shouldn't have to pay compensation, right?

"Well, you go ahead."

Su Li looked calm, showing no signs of anger at all.

Very good, the other party did not care about this small mistake.

Xiao Chen skillfully went to the forest on the other side. In return, he decided to pick a thicker spiritual tree and carve a larger statue.

The main purpose is to reciprocate the favor, definitely not because thicker wood is not easy to break.

After flying around the forest, I picked out a good target.

Xiao Chen jumped down from mid-air and stepped directly into the puddle.

Huh?

He looked down at the blood under his feet that could reach his knees, and at the same time felt that there was a huge Vitality Power in it.

As we all know, the monk has Divine Sense, which can directly see most things.

But some things will only turn up empty when you sweep them over with Divine Sense, such as heavenly materials and earthly treasures like Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Mushroom, or the strange little Blood Pool under your feet.

This pit is not big, it looks like a small puddle common in the forest.

But I don't know why, but it was filled with blood.

And it seems to be a living thing, trying to drill into Xiao Chen's body through the clothes.

If it were an ordinary monk who came here, he would definitely be shocked. He would rush out and carefully check whether he was poisoned or whether he had touched something taboo.

But Xiao Chen was not afraid at all. He even took the initiative to sit cross-legged and put his hands into the blood.

No matter what it is, you will know if you try it directly. Anyway, even if there are any negative effects, you will be directly immune to it.

This is the confidence Divinity Veil brings him!

"Wow~!"

When the blood and water come into contact with living creatures, they boil immediately.

In an instant, Xiao Chen felt a large amount of strong Vitality Power rushing into his body.

But the moment it entered the body, it was as if it suddenly lost its soul and became an ownerless thing.

Two things can be learned from this.

First, there is indeed something wrong with Blood Pool.

Second, this thing is a great tonic!

You don't need to absorb it yourself at all. You have to rush it through the skin. Xiao Chen just needs to concentrate on absorbing it.

If there is really any shortcut in cultivation, he must be taking the shortcut right now.

I was still thinking about the slow progress of my Body Cultivator.

As a result, it only took two and a quarter of hours to successfully expand True Essence Limit into Life Core of Xiao Chen, which was equivalent to saving ten days of hard work.

Not only that, he also felt that his Total Vitality had also increased a lot

"Hiss~, the effect is remarkable!"

Xiao Chen stood up and looked at the empty puddle, feeling quite unfinished.

You know, Total Vitality is even more rare than the real energy in Life Core.

If Cultivator of Magic's bottleneck is limited by perception, then Body Cultivator's bottleneck is limited by Total Vitality.

As long as Total Vitality is high enough, there will be almost no bottleneck before Spirit Transformation.

And the mysterious Blood Pool just now can not only increase the true energy, but also improve Total Vitality, which is half an adventure.

If such good things can happen more often, Xiao Chen estimates that his Body Cultivator progress can take off immediately.

The question is, how come there is Blood Pool here?

He checked and found that the surrounding area was obviously an ordinary forest, and the puddle itself was almost unremarkable.

If I have to say anything different, it is that there is a strange smell at the bottom of the pit.

It smells like fallen leaves and dead flowers, a weird smell mixed together.
