"Ding!"

Red Thread Bell rings, Su Li, as usual, sitting on the rocks by the sea, stepping on the waves with bare feet.

The difference is that now her eyes are always focused on the young man meditating in the distance.

For at least nine hours every day, the other party is busy practicing various Cultivation Method.

So there wasn't much time to talk.

However, Su Li admires him very much. After all, most monks cannot be so focused at all.

In her early years, she also tried to practice hard, but she could not persist for such a long time every day.

Xiao Chen looks young, but Dual Cultivation of Magic and Body and has a good level of cultivation. I guess it has something to do with such persistence.

Su Li Sometimes I even feel that it looks pretty good to focus on cultivation like this.

In the blink of an eye, it was Fifteenth Moonlit Night. Normally, she should have suppressed her condition in advance.

But today is an exception. The two have agreed to use another method to solve Moon Eclipse Curse.

"Huh~!"

Xiao Chen looked up during the break of practice and saw that it was already the beginning of Haishi.

So he slowly straightened out his breath and ended today's practice ahead of schedule.

Thanks to sufficient Essence Replenishing Pill, Compassion Sea and rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, plus two Third-Order Spirit Fruit and a bowl of White Jade Little Azure Dragon every day as a boost.

Even though it has reached Mid-stage Golden Core, Xiao Chen still maintains the super fast Cultivation Speed of expanding a true energy in two days.

This speed is already more than a hundred times ahead of the ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

But he turned around and looked behind him, Su Li who seemed to be in a daze again.

Xiao Chen still expresses envy every day. He now knows that the other person is not comprehending the world, but does not need to practice on his own at all.

But it doesn't matter, he can get another Blood Crystal tonight.

The two of them walked side by side to the center of the island, waiting for the arrival of Zi Hour.

For some reason, Su Li had an inexplicable expectation in his heart.

Obviously in the past, the last thing she wanted to face was Moon Eclipse, and obviously she has not yet found a way to get rid of Curse.

"Hmm~!"

Su Li groaned and subconsciously reached out to cover his heart.

Zi Hour The moonlight penetrated the sparse clouds and fell directly on the island. The Witch Blood in her body was immediately awakened and boiled uncontrollably.

In this process, she was equivalent to passively undergoing a physical exercise.

The hot blood flows through the limbs and bones, strengthening the body but also causing pain like boiling oil adding to the body.

The familiar severe pain made Su Li's body tremble slightly. As her emotions fluctuated, the ground bulged and Mandala Flower broke out of the ground.

A strong wind blew, and petals flew all over the sky.

"It's no use?"

Xiao Chen held her hand and frowned slightly.

Originally, he was thinking about whether he could use Divinity Veil to directly end Moon Eclipse, but now it seems that it is not very effective.

As a Passive Ability, it is only effective for yourself and cannot interfere with others.

"Su Li?"

"Shh~!"

A soft body suddenly ran into Xiao Chen's arms, and the two hugged each other under the moonlight.

Through the feather robe, he could clearly feel Su Li's hot body temperature.

Along with Dominating Moon Eclipse Power's scorching body temperature, it was transmitted into Xiao Chen's body, and then dissipated invisible in an instant.

Endless Moon Eclipse Power disappeared, directly affecting Curse Effect.

The surrounding wind suddenly calmed down, and the Mandala Flower on the ground stopped growing and even began to wither early.

Su Li's body temperature also dropped quickly. Although he was still a little hot, it was much better than before.

"If you can't bear too much Curse Power, you can tell me."

Su Li raised his head slightly. "Don't force yourself too much."

The reason why she said this was because when the two of them talked to each other before, they inevitably mentioned why Xiao Chen could resist Moon Eclipse.

Of course I can't tell the real reason.

So Xiao Chen had an idea. "People's physiques cannot be generalized."

"I once accidentally discovered that I seem to be born unaffected by all kinds of Curse. Maybe I have some kind of Hidden Bloodline."

Ordinary people may not believe this vague statement, and there is such a physique?

But Su Li is willing to believe it, because her Nine Yin Calamity Spirit Body is also rare in the world.

"Ahem, I'm actually fine."

Xiao Chen subconsciously looked away. "You don't have to worry about me, no matter how many Curse Power you have, it won't be a problem."

A ray of actual moonlight fell from the distant sky.

Witch Tribe Heritage, which had been sealed for millions of years, was reopened in Su Li Bloodline.

Perhaps it's because Curse Power was weakened, and this link that used to give me a splitting headache has become much better.

A large number of pictures flashed in front of Su Li's eyes, but compared to the original dizzying speed, it had slowed down to only one-fifth.

"Huh?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Just now, some pictures appeared vaguely in front of his eyes.

Hallucination?

Impossible!

Could it be said?

He tried to hold the person in his arms tighter, and the images became much clearer.

Xiao Chen immediately concentrated on memorizing the information described in these pictures.

This is Ancient Heritage!

Not to mention now, even back then, not everyone was eligible to obtain the Super Secret.

Even just a brief understanding of it can be of great benefit.

First, the stones from other mountains can attack jade.

Secondly, even if it can open your horizons and gain some secrets of practice, it will be fine.

It's always a good thing to learn more about all kinds of hidden knowledge, because you never know when you'll be able to use it.

The two of them were immersed in Inherited Memory, and both selectively ignored the sound of Blood Crystal falling to the ground.

After all, it's important to look at the inheritance first. There's no one else here anyway, so you won't be able to pick it up and throw it away later.

Under the bright moonlight, scenes flowed by.

Moon Witch Tribe, Moon Offering Ritual, Spiritual Qi ebb, Wu Mausoleum, Witch Calamity...

The history book has thus opened the tip of the iceberg, which is the entire story of a race from weakness to prosperity and then to death.

But for Xiao Chen, he doesn't care about most of the content inside.

Only two things were more important and attracted his attention.

The first thing is Moon Offering Ritual, also known as Moon Eclipse Curse.

For the Moon Witch Tribe, this is the most important gathering every month, and it is also an opportunity for promotion among the clan members.

Blood Crystal is formed by condensing moonlight from Saintess.

It can greatly improve the Qi and Blood Concentration of the user, and it can also bring opportunities to sublimate the bloodline.

Under normal circumstances, only the strongest warrior in the clan or the outstanding junior with the most potential can obtain Blood Crystal as a reward.

In other words, if the ceremony is done correctly, instead of being Curse, this will be a grand event.

Realizing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh, is Su Li born at the wrong time?

If she had been born in that era, she would not have had so many problems and would have received the best care.

.

The second thing is Wu Mausoleum.

It is closely related to the removal of Curse.

Moon Offering Ritual requires a special item, its name is--Witch Artifact.

Its function is to suppress the Curse Power in Saintess's body on weekdays, and concentrate on a unified explosion on the day of Moon Offering Ritual to condense Blood Crystal with better effect.

Although Witch Artifact cannot directly remove Curse, its importance to Su Li is obvious.

With the death of the Witch Clan, Witch Artifact has naturally been lost long ago.

Nowadays, there is only one place where Witch Artifact may still exist, and that is Wu Mausoleum - the place where Moon Witch Tribe High Priest was buried.

"I really didn't expect that the clues would be found so quickly."

Xiao Chen lowered his head slightly, but did not see the expected joy. "What's wrong? You don't seem very happy?"

It was already dawn and Moon Eclipse Curse was over.

The morning light shone on Su Li's fair cheeks, but it couldn't smooth out the sadness between her brows.

She raised her head slightly. "Although I couldn't see those pictures clearly before, after experiencing Moon Eclipse so many times, I already knew about Witch Artifact."

Huh?

Then didn't you tell me earlier?

Xiao Chen was a little surprised. "Is there any problem here?"

Su Li pursed his lips. "Wu Mausoleum is in a very far place, and it is very difficult to get Witch Artifact."

She shook her head slightly, obviously a little disappointed.

Huh?

Xiao Chen blinked, what's next?

Tell me your words!

God, it's so difficult. Can you at least tell me what's difficult?

"I can help you find Witch Artifact."

Xiao Chen asked seriously, "Just tell me what you need to prepare."

There is no need for any other fair and aboveboard reasons. Just saying that Witch Artifact can produce Blood Crystal with better effects, there is no reason for him not to take it.

By the way, it can also solve the problem of Curse, which is a great thing that kills two birds with one stone!

Su Li was stared at by him and explained softly, "The previous Inherited Memory said that in order to ensure that no one can enter Wu Mausoleum, offend or blaspheme High Priest."

"After the construction of Wu Mausoleum, a blockade was specially placed in the peripheral area."

"There are Witch Poison and traps among them. The most powerful method is Burial Abyss Asura."

"That Wu Mausoleum was originally located in the extremely remote Sea Abyss, and it was originally the place where Sha Qi was accumulated."

"After so many years, the Sha Qi inside is probably too strong to be processed."

After saying that, Su Li quietly glanced at Xiao Chen, and immediately saw the surprise in his eyes.

This reaction is normal and she can understand it completely.

Sha Qi This kind of thing is inherently difficult to deal with. Usually only demon cultivators will take the initiative to look for it, while the other cultivators would rather hide far away.

So Su Li took the initiative and smiled, "Actually, it doesn't matter."

"Now with your help, we can find other ways."

However, she saw that Xiao Chen was staring at her cheek, and the surprise in his eyes had disappeared and turned into a look of determination.

"Don't say anything more than necessary."

"Just tell me, where is the address?"

Su Li felt warm after hearing this, but still advised, "You don't need to take risks there for me."

Xiao Chen opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

How can I explain to Su Li that I am actually not afraid of Sha Qi?

He thought for a while and then changed the subject, "Are you willing to believe me?"

This trick really works.

Su Li no longer insisted, carefully recalled and told about Inheritance Scene she had seen before.

Although there is no specific written record, it can be roughly inferred that it is located in the northwest corner of the Compassion Sea.

There are two main references.

One is that in order to preserve Sha Qi, Wu Mausoleum deliberately built it inside Sea Abyss, which is at the bottom of a great rift valley somewhere in the sea.

Although there are many such terrains, they are not particularly numerous.

If you really can't find it, even if you use the elimination method to search one by one, it will only take more time.

The second is that near Wu Mausoleum, there is Starfall Land.

The so-called Starfall Land, to put it bluntly, is a meteorite that fell. During the original construction, the work was suspended for a period of time due to this.

Therefore, it can be inferred inversely that Wu Mausoleum is within the influence range of that meteorite.

"It's really not close."

Xiao Chen is currently located in Secluded Doom Island, located in the southwest of the Compassion Sea. After all, this is also a remote place specially selected at the beginning.

In other words, he has to travel through almost the entire Compassion Sea to reach the vicinity of Wu Mausoleum.

This trip will definitely take a lot of time, probably in months.

"After I refine Blood Crystal, let's go find Wu Mausoleum together, right?"

Xiao Chen directly suggested. "In the worst case, just walk around outside and hide from the other casual cultivators."

Su Li rejected this suggestion. "No, I have sworn that I will never leave here until Curse is relieved."

"Besides, don't forget, there is Surveillance Array outside."

She showed a wry smile, "If I touch the formation, you should be able to see half of the Compassion Sea and Nascent Soul True Lord in a few days."

"If we are lucky enough, we may be able to see the true face of Spirit Transformation Great Power."

Hiss~!

Are you so proud?

To be honest, Xiao Chen really wants to pat his chest and say that Spirit Transformation is nothing but an ant.

But for the time being, there is still a long way to go between him and Nascent Soul True Lord.

"Don't think so much!"

Instead, Su Li took the initiative to persuade him, "Let me help you practice Blood Crystal."

She bent down and picked up Blood Crystal. As Moon Witch Saintess, she was the only person who had direct contact with Blood Crystal and would not be corroded by the Vitality Power inside.

So as long as she holds Blood Crystal, briefly touches Xiao Chen and then takes it away.

By repeating this, you can control Vitality Power to reduce the difficulty of refining.

Compared to swallowing one Purple-Gold Bodhi Fruit at a time, this is undoubtedly better.

With the help of Su Li, the refining process went very smoothly this time.

As the last stream of Vitality Power was completely refined, Xiao Chen once again had eighty-two more true essences in his body.

The reason why the amount of real yuan added this time is smaller.

It's because in the middle of refining, his Life Core touched the state of Early-stage Golden Core Completion.

So Xiao Chen hit Mid-stage Golden Core directly along with Body Refining. In the process of breaking through, part of Vitality Power inside Blood Crystal was also lost.

Thanks to the addition of Qi and Blood Concentration, the breakthrough was successful in the end without much effort.

"Congratulations on the breakthrough!"

Su Li tilted his head and boasted. "On behalf of the Moon Witch Tribe, I recognize that you are the most powerful warrior in the clan!"

Of the entire Cultivation World, maybe only Xiao Chen can understand what she is saying.

Saintess and the sacrifice must be Witch Clan, but the warrior of the Moon Witch Tribe is not necessarily Witch Clan.

In Ancient Times, there are also warriors who joined the tribe midway through cooperation with Saintess in order to obtain Blood Crystal.

Xiao Chen followed the movements in Inherited Memory and Moon Offering Ritual and saluted with a fist and chest.

"Thank you, Mr. Saintess, for the compliment!"

.

Early the next morning, it was just dawn.

Xiao Chen is ready to set off to find Wu Mausoleum and retrieve Witch Artifact.

As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

As a practitioner, he knows what he should do and will not be too entangled or even in a dilemma.

Su Li agreed very much, "Of course it doesn't matter to me."

"I've been here for more than a hundred years, just a few months."

"On your part, you must be careful on the road. Don't take risks just to rush for time."

Xiao Chen nodded. "Don't worry, I have no other advantages, I just cherish my life."

Some things may seem dangerous to outsiders.

In fact, for him, he would only do it if he was completely sure of everything.

"Then we have an agreement!"

Su Li turned around and went to the stone house. "Don't leave yet, wait for me."

Then she actually took out a wooden box made by Spirit-Sealing Sinking Cloud Wood, with a similar small wooden box inside.

"Take this thunder bead with you. If you encounter danger, it may be able to help you."

Huh?

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. I'm afraid you don't know that my Condensing Fire Palm is better than this one.

Unless it is a fifth-level thunder bead, it cannot harm Nascent Soul True Lord at all and can only be used against Golden Core cultivator.

It's not that he is conceited. There should be very few people in Golden Core who are his opponents now.

So Xiao Chen waved his hand subconsciously. "No, I..."

Halfway through, he looked at Su Li's expectant eyes and changed his tone. "Actually, it's quite good, so I'll accept it."

Vast Sea Ring is so big, so there is no shortage of space.

Why should he refuse her kind offer?

"Xiao Chen!"

Su Li Seeing him using his escape technique and about to leave, he couldn't hold back after all. "Will you come back?"

Logically speaking, there was no need for her to worry, but she had waited a hundred years to meet him.

"Don't worry!"

Xiao Chen turned around and replied very seriously, "Of course I will come back!"

After speaking, he added with a smile, "You can question my character, but you can't question my mind."

"As you saw last night, Blood Crystal has been of great benefit to me. I have no reason not to come back."

This reason is very good.

At the same time, this is what Xiao Chen is saying, even if it is to get more Blood Crystal, he will definitely come back.

He has already thought about his next overall plan.

The first thing is to find Wu Mausoleum and collect Sha Qi at the same time.

Then return to Secluded Doom Island with Witch Artifact, suppress Curse and improve the effect of Blood Crystal.

Finally, with the help of Blood Crystal provided by Su Li, it broke through the Nascent Soul Realm, returned to the Storm Sea and promoted Yin Corpse Sect.

Compared with previous action plans formulated by Xiao Chen, this plan is relatively simple.

The main reason was that he had just arrived and his eyesight was dark.

Although I learned part of the Compassion Sea's situation through Su Li, I still don't have much information.

If you want to make a detailed action plan, you don't have that condition.

Just keep everything simple and rely on your own improvisation in the middle.

Leaving Secluded Doom Island, Xiao Chen flew toward the northeast, preparing to go to the first target location, Azure Sea Market.

The reason why he did not rush directly to the north was because he wanted to buy a sea chart first, and it would be best to buy simple information about the forces of all parties.

As the saying goes, sharpening your knife is the best way to chop firewood.

Understanding the specific situation of Compassion Sea Region will help him plan his course of action.

Otherwise, go directly to the north. If you encounter dangerous places like Frost Condensing Mist Lock along the way, you will be at risk and will waste more time.

In addition, some sea areas may face blockade by certain forces.

For example, the Right Protector that was Subduing Ice Sect is in Sea Seal. If you accidentally enter it, you may be in a lot of trouble.

It's better to avoid these places in the first place.

Although Azure Sea Market is already the closest gathering place to Secluded Doom Island.

But Xiao Chen still walked for two full days, and only saw this extremely large island at noon on the third day.

Or to be more precise, this large group of islands.

As a super city built by the Azure Sea Immortal Sect, thousands of years ago, many disciples carried a large amount of earth and stone from far away.

Over time, seven medium-sized islands were built in several shallow water areas.

The smallest subsidiary island is also two hundred miles long and more than sixty miles wide.

The largest central island is based on the original small island and has expanded to a length of 800 miles and a width of 500 miles.

On this island group alone, there are tens of thousands of monks living all year round.

No matter what time it is every day, as long as you look up at the sky, you can always see Escape Light of different colors flying through the sky and landing in the designated area.

Of course there is also Anti-Air Formation here, most areas need to be walked.

As soon as Xiao Chen landed at the port of the central island, there were many monks surrounding it.

Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who landed next to him, had already been approached by someone.

"Fellow Daoist, are you here to do business? I am very familiar with this place. I can definitely guide you to the store that suits your needs the most."

"Do you want to try the special spiritual food here? I know all the restaurants in Fangshi."

"Fellow Daoist, there are several new sisters on the island who are both talented and beautiful, and they all have different styles. I can introduce them to you for only a small fee."

That Foundation Establishment was busy on his way.

After hearing the last sentence, he hesitated for a moment, then picked a beautifully dressed female cultivator to leave with him.

There were also people staring at Xiao Chen, but due to his Golden Core Realm aura, few dared to come forward and talk to him rashly.

The main reason is that I don't know his temper and I am afraid that I might encounter a senior who behaves erratically and has a bad temper.

In the past, some people took the initiative to squeeze in front of Golden Core cultivator in order to grab customers.

As a result, the other party beat him half to death in the name of offending him.

In the end, since no one was killed, the city just sent a bottle of healing elixir and settled the matter hastily without any follow-up treatment.

Of course, some people have come up with countermeasures.

A thin boy with clever eyes stood behind the crowd, holding up a sign with the word "guide" in his hand and shaking it constantly.

Trying to attract Xiao Chen's attention.

I have to say, this is really a solution.

"Come here!"

Xiao Chen waved at him. "Do you know where I can buy and sell information?"

If he had just come to the Compassion Sea and arrived here, he would be willing to spend some time strolling around and asking for some news on the street.

But I don't have the time right now, so I might as well just find a local guide, which doesn't cost a few bucks Spirit Stone.

I chose the young man because of his cleverness.

"I know everything, please come here, senior!"

The other party hurriedly came over to lead the way, and introduced as he walked, "My name is Guo Pan, you can just call me Shitou."

"There are two main companies selling information on the island, namely Azure Sea Pavilion and Spirit Communication Pavilion."

"I wonder which one you want to go to?"
