A Minor Interlude: Heaven and Earth Phenomenon

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Xiao Chen turned his head and took a look.

On that wooden sign, there were nine kinds of Fourth-Order Life-Extending Pills listed, and it was stated that none of these nine kinds of elixirs were within the scope of the reward.

It is not difficult to guess that Yi Family Old Ancestor has already been taken.

For this reason, Yi Family did not hesitate to offer a large reward, and also promised several generous conditions.

There is a strong desire to survive between the lines.

"I heard that Nascent Soul True Lord can live for a full thousand years, which is worth five of my lifetimes."

Some monks lamented. "But even if you reach that state, it is still difficult to live forever."

Some monks shook their heads. "Yi Family has done this kind of reward several times. No matter how rich your family fortune is, it will probably be emptied out."

"If my life is approaching, I will definitely not go to such trouble. It is only right to leave some inheritance for the younger generation."

Foundation Establishment Late Stage, who was mocking others before, spoke again, "Come on, with your little savings, if Yi Family just plucks a hair from his legs, it will be thicker than your waist."

"You also pointed me out. Old Master Yi has lived for more than 1,200 years."

"How many of you can survive as long as others?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like poking a hornet's nest and instantly aroused public outrage.

Many monks looked at him angrily, and Foundation Establishment, a man with a rather hot temper among the crowd, immediately started scolding him.

"More than 1,200 years?"

Xiao Chen heard this and raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

If you want to live for more than two hundred years, just relying on the nine kinds of elixirs listed on Bounty Order may not be enough.

However, in addition to magic pills, there are many Secret Method that can also help people extend their lives.

It seems that Yi Family Old Ancestor has worked hard and must have expended a lot of effort in other aspects.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that the quarrel was getting more and more intense, with a strong tendency to turn from verbal to physical, Xiao Chen turned around and left without hesitation. He was not interested in such a dispute.

As for the rest of the bounties, there are indeed several tasks with rich rewards, but they are too time-consuming, so we should consider them later.

For now, let's go to Wu Mausoleum to look for Witch Artifact.

Before leaving, he took out ten pieces of Spirit Stone and handed them to Guo Pan as reward, and immediately received a long list of thanks.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay, fellow Daoist!"

However, before Xiao Chen could leave, suddenly a long-faced, thin-lipped Golden Core cultivator with two mustaches hurried over from behind.

He is wearing Azure Sea Immortal Sect and Disciple Magic Robe, with an additional golden tiger head embroidered on the skirt.

With a smile on his face, he cupped his fists and said, "Wang Qiang Hu, I have an important matter at hand to discuss, and the custody will be well paid."

Xiao Chen waved his hand. "No, I'm not free."

After that, continue to move forward.

But I saw Wang Qiang Hu rushing to the front. "Fellow Daoist, please don't leave in a hurry. Please listen to what I say in detail."

Huh?

Xiao Chen paused. "Daoist Wang, what do you want to do?"

Under normal circumstances, monks of the same level have a sense of propriety.

He has expressed his clear rejection, but the other party is still unwilling to give up. There must be something fishy in this.

The Wang Qiang Hu first glared hard at Guo Pan next to him, his eyes full of warning.

Seeing this, the young man shrank his neck, a look of horror appeared on his face, and ran away without even bothering to say hello.

Then Wang Qiang Hu forced out a smile, "Fellow Daoist, to tell you the truth, I have no other hobbies. I just like to explore everywhere on weekdays."

"I was out there the first few days and found a place where cave abode was left by my predecessors."

"I just hate that cave abode is surrounded by several Late-stage Golden Core beasts. It's really hateful."

"I have visited several friends in Fangshi these two days, but there is still one person missing."

Saying that, Wang Qiang Hu stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Chen: "We met by chance today. I saw that Daoist friend is well dressed and his bearing is outstanding. I guess he is definitely not a mediocre person."

"That's why I came here to invite you shamelessly."

"As long as fellow Daoist help me, I am willing to offer two hundred thousand Spirit Stone, plus cave abode, and let fellow Daoist choose an item."

A sneer appeared on Xiao Chen's face, "I said I have no time, get out!"

He had already roughly guessed what the other party wanted to do, which was to trick the casual cultivators into hunting for treasures, but in the end they killed people to seize the treasures.

The key is that the opponent's method is too rough.

The words "I am not a good person" are written on your face from the very beginning. Who can go out with you?

"Stop!"

Wang Qiang Hu shouted loudly, and the flesh on his face trembled.

The original smile disappeared and was replaced by a ferocious look, "You have heard the news I just told you."

"Isn't it appropriate to leave directly like this?"

He took a step forward with a threat in his eyes. "What if you go out and reveal my secret to others? How will the debt be settled?"

Oh, it turns out a hole was dug here.

Xiao Chen was a little surprised, I didn't expect that the other party actually played a new trick.

It's not about tricking people and going out to kill them, but it's about killing them directly in the market.

Very good, he has gained a lot of experience.

I glanced at the port in the distance, and considering that there was Anti-Air Restriction in Fang City, it was not convenient to do it directly.

So Xiao Chen waved. "Daoist Wang, let's go to a place with few people over there. I have a few words to tell you in private."

"It concerns Yi Family. It is not suitable for outsiders to hear."

Yi Family?

Wang Qiang Hu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, isn't this right?

He followed him all the way from the port and saw that Xiao Chen was a foreign monk with no background and he had quite a lot of Spirit Stone with him, so he singled him out.

But it sounds like the other party has something to do with it?

Don't look at it. Yi Family Old Master is about to die, as if the building is about to collapse.

As long as the old man is alive and can still speak, Yi Family is not something he, a small sect steward, can easily offend.

If you are smart, you'd better clear up the misunderstanding now and don't build any grudges.

But the question is, is Xiao Chen telling the truth, or is she making up a story to deceive him?

Wang Qiang Hu looked up and down and distinguished Vast Sea Ring carefully.

Especially looking at the feather coat that obviously does not belong to the workmanship of the Azure Sea.

Hahaha, this guy is a liar!

He just saw the bounty on Get Rich Wall, so he wanted to use Yi Family as a trap to trick me!

You're still a little too young to play this game with me.

After seeing through Xiao Chen's 'disguise', Wang Qiang Hu immediately felt relieved.

A sinister smile appeared on his face, "Okay, I'd really like to hear what you have to say to me."

After saying that, he still stared at Xiao Chen's expression, wanting to see his reaction.

However, the young man in front of him showed no signs of panic. "That's good, follow me here."

Huh, the acting is quite similar.

Wang Qiang Hu immediately followed Xiao Chen out of the main street and walked to a side alley.

First, he wanted to see what the other person's expression would be like when he realized that he had not been frightened.

Secondly, what he is going to do next is indeed not very honorable, just to avoid others.

Originally, even if Xiao Chen didn't mention it, he would have taken him to a secluded place.

As for whether the prey will take risks and try to resist, there is no need to worry.

.

First of all, Wang Qiang Hu also has a principle when it comes to attacking, that is, only Mid-stage Golden Core is the best choice to attack, and he will never offend monks whose cultivation level is higher than his.

Therefore, even if there is a fight, as a disciple of a large sect, he is not afraid of rogue cultivators at all, at least he will not suffer any loss.

Secondly, this is a market, or a market opened by the Azure Sea Immortal Sect, not outside.

Once a fight actually occurs and Enforcement Elder is alerted, Wang Qiang Hu can completely accuse the other party of attacking first.

Facing his own disciple and an outsider, which side will Enforcement Elder lean towards?

The results simply speak for themselves.

The two of them chose a deserted alley together.

Wang Qiang Hu crossed his arms across his chest and raised his head high. "No need to check anymore, there is no one here to begin with."

"The courtyards on the left and right are also empty. They have been idle for a long time."

"If you have anything to say, you can say it directly."

He watched Xiao Chen activate his spiritual eyes and carefully checked the movements around him, becoming more and more sure of his inference.

None of the locals know that this area is full of empty courtyards, only outsiders don't understand.

If this kid continues to talk nonsense, he will make trouble Yi Family.

Then he can just show off his authority and say that he is not afraid of anyone.

Isn't it just pulling the skin of a tiger? It's like no one knows how to do it.

"Yes, there is indeed no one around."

Xiao Chen nodded and walked to Wang Qiang Hu in two steps. "Let me tell you a secret..."

It looked like Fu Er wanted to whisper, but actually she put her arm around his shoulder.

Then he stretched his arm downwards, pulled him back, and strangled his neck.

Then he said calmly, "Actually, I am Body Cultivator. Are you surprised or surprised?"

"Hmm~!"

"Hmm~!"

Wang Qiang Hu grabbed Xiao Chen's right arm with both hands and struggled desperately, immediately activating his secret self-protection technique.

But the jade talisman around his waist lit up with a ray of light, and before it could erupt, it was grabbed by Xiao Chen and crushed into powder.

How is this possible!

Wang Qiang Hu's eyes were wide open, but he couldn't help but feel discouraged.

His Protective Jade Pendant is a high-end product that he spent a hundred thousand Spirit Stone on.

Could it be possible that I bought a fake?

But he had no chance to verify it.

"Click~!"

After a crisp sound of broken bones.

Xiao Chen took off Storage Ring from Wang Qiang Hu with his left hand, then waved his hand and put it into the spare Storage Ring previously seized from Dai Tian Rui.

The whole process took only three breaths from start to finish.

It did not make any unnecessary noise, did not leave any Magic Trace, and did not produce any Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

Therefore, even Defensive Formation found throughout the city did not find any abnormalities.

Then, Xiao Chen walked out of the alley calmly, walked unhurriedly out of Fangshi, and flew straight to the west.

Since Wang Qiang Hu had no good intentions, he naturally did not notify others in advance.

Therefore, he disappeared for several days, which triggered a search by several friends.

In the end, the natural search was fruitless, and it became one of the cases of missing for no reason.

But these have nothing to do with Xiao Chen.

He flew nearly ten thousand miles in one breath, and then found a place Desolate Island to stop.

I first meditated to restore my true energy, and then I took the time to refine the newly obtained Storage Ring.

First of all, it is of course a full eighty-three thousand two hundred yuan Spirit Stone.

"Although they say you will come back after all your money is gone, but isn't this too fast?"

To be honest, Xiao Chen only spent a total of more than 60,000 Spirit Stone on this visit to Azure Sea Market. In the end, the amount of Spirit Stone in my hand increased instead of decreasing.

Then, Wang Qiang Hu carried a total of one Earth-grade Technique, two bottles of elixirs and three pieces of Spirit Artifact.

These things are basically of no use to Xiao Chen, and are equivalent to other sundries used to exchange for Spirit Stone.

There are two types that are more useful or valuable.

They are one Origin Returning Divine Stone, which should be worth more than 200,000 Spirit Stone.

There is also a bottle of Azure Sea Heavy Water, which is a specialty of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect.

It belongs to the third-level spiritual water, which is relatively top-notch and is very beneficial to water monks.

Finally, there is a special piece of Identity Token.

It is about five inches long, completely black, and has five big characters written on the front - "Seeing an order is like seeing a person."

The back is divided into upper and lower parts.

An unrecognizable rune was engraved on it, and the word "sheep" was written on the bottom in Ancient Spirit Script.

"How come we can meet Ancient Spirit Script here?"

That is to say, Xiao Chen has seen exactly the same way of writing it before in Heaven Star Island, otherwise I would not be able to recognize what it means.

If nothing else, this token should be used to carry out some kind of secret activity.

"Forget it, just hold it in your hand and let everything take its course."

Xiao Chen put away the token, dealt with the traces left by breaking the ban, and burned both Wang Qiang Hu and his Storage Ring into ashes.

The reason why it needs to be burned together with Storage Ring is because Storage Ring of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect is a special system.

Not only is it troublesome to carry it with you, but it's also hard to sell when you take it out, so you might as well get rid of it.

After getting rid of this little episode, Xiao Chen changed direction and flew towards the north again.

With the guidance of the latest nautical charts, he successfully avoided areas that might be prone to disaster.

At the same time, during the flight, making appropriate use of the large and small islands along the way as a landing place saves worry and effort, and makes it a lot easier.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Coming out of the Azure Sea, you enter the territory of the Heavenly Dipper Sect. Going further north is Ink Barrier Sect.

Xiao Chen happened to pass by Ink Barrier Peak that day, and I immediately felt that it was well-deserved.

Viewed from a high altitude, the dangerous peak in the center is as high as a thousand feet, and the mountains below it are thousands of miles long. Looking from afar, the mountains in the distance are really like ink.

Judging from the majestic scenery alone, it is almost better than most of the land.

Southern Domain Xiao Chen has basically visited Xiao Chen, but has never encountered such a scenic spot.

Continuing north from Ink Barrier Peak, we arrived at the current territory of the Illuminating Void Sect.

Originally, there were many Lineage fighting with each other, and they were never unified.

Looking back now, any struggle is probably just a show.

To be cautious, Xiao Chen did not intend to pass through here, but prepared a detour in advance.

For such emerging forces, it is best to keep a respectful distance to avoid inadvertently violating some taboos of the other party without knowing it.

The main reason is that it will probably waste a lot of time.

However, when Xiao Chen detoured to the west side, halfway through, we saw a large number of snowflakes falling in front of us.

The snow itself was not a strange thing, but everything he could see was covered with heavy snow.

So much so that you can see not far away, about three hundred miles ahead, a layer of ice has formed on the sea.

"Ah? What's going on?"

Xiao Chen turned over the chart and confirmed it, but it was not that he had misremembered the situation.

There is no abnormality marked here on the chart, which means that it should not have started snowing here about more than a month ago.

The rest of the information did not mention that he met the new Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.

.

"Tsk, is it possible to go around the other side?"

Xiao Chen tried flying two hundred miles to the west, but still could not see the end of the heavy snow, and it was difficult to determine its coverage.

But if he wants to go back now and go around from the east side.

One trip back and forth is basically equivalent to an extra half month of walking.

"Why is it snowing after everything is fine?"

Xiao Chen tried to investigate, but the snowflakes in the outer area were exactly the same as ordinary snowflakes, at least he didn't see any difference.

So he decided to move on. "It should be just Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, there is no need to take a detour."

Such a large range of Heaven and Earth Phenomenon is rare and rare, but there is no need to be too nervous.

Cultivation World has always had various strange situations, such as Li Province Yellow Wind Valley, such as World Sea Thunderstorm, and Compassion Sea's two consecutive years of heavy rain in the northwest.

Many visions have no reason from ancient times to the present. The key is to see whether the follow-up will bring danger.

If there is danger, it becomes a dangerous place or disaster.

If there were no danger, it would become a different kind of scenery.

"Hi~, is it so far?"

Xiao Chen went deeper than 6,000 miles, and there was heavy snow along the way, and the temperature was getting lower and lower.

It's okay for him to be Golden Core cultivator. If Qi Refining Cultivator came, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to withstand such an invasion of cold air.

If the time is extended, Foundation Establishment Cultivator will not be able to survive in the long term.

Logically speaking, it means that the snow fell on the sea.

If it rained on a certain piece of land, it would probably become a large-scale natural disaster.

Even with the help of the surrounding sects, I am afraid that many people in the territory will starve to death and freeze to death.

"But don't worry, another dangerous situation is about to be born."

Xiao Chen turned his head and looked to the west, his eyes seeming to see thousands of miles away through the heavy snow.

He can already feel that he is actually on the periphery now.

The cold air obviously comes from further west, but I don't know what it is like in the core area.

However, he was not prepared to take the initiative to investigate, but continued to move forward silently.

They say curiosity killed the cat, but Xiao Chen doesn't have nine lives.

Going further, the temperature rose slightly, and after about four or five thousand miles, he finally successfully passed through the heavy snow.

In other words, if you add up the front and back, this heavy snow covered at least more than 10,000 miles from north to south.

It is not known how long the thing is yet, but it is estimated to be indispensable.

Such power is beyond the reach of anyone, not even Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"I don't know when I will be able to master such power."

Xiao Chen is a little pity. "Why doesn't it snow like this in the Lightless Sea?"

After coming out of here, for the next twelve days, I finally encountered no other unexpected situations and successfully arrived at the northeast corner of the Compassion Sea.

Although this place is still nominally within the scope of the Compassion Sea, it has already reached the edge.

In other words, every next Sea Abyss may be where Wu Mausoleum is.

Of course, according to the current classification, this place has just left the territory of the Illuminating Void Sect, and it is still not a particularly remote place.

However, the regional division of Ancient Times may not be exactly the same as it is now.

Therefore, Xiao Chen must slow down its speed from now on, and Divine Sense will open at full speed to explore the underwater situation.

If you encounter the deep sea area or Sea Abyss, you have to drill down and take a look inside to prevent accidentally missing Wu Mausoleum.

It is worth mentioning that diving is a piece of cake for monks.

Whether you are swimming or stretching Body Protecting Profound Light to form a protective layer on the body surface, you can easily enter the deep sea.

Some monks also practice Water Escape, which makes them feel at home like a fish in the sea, as if they are home.

But as far as Xiao Chen knows, under normal circumstances, it is best not for any monk to stay in the sea for a long time, and it is not recommended to stay in Sea Abyss for a long time.

It's not the other reason, the main reason is that it's easy to encounter Sea Fish and then be attacked.

In water, the effects of many Law Technique will be limited, especially Fire Method.

Although it is not impossible to use it, the greatly reduced power is an inevitable and big problem.

Even though Xiao Chen is currently Body Refining and is good at swordsmanship, and he even started learning <Cold Light Ice Soul Needle> before, he didn't let this drag him down.

I still followed this principle and only dived into the sea to check when I encountered suspicious situations.

It has to be said that there is a unique scenery under the sea.

There are various coral reefs that look like forests and labyrinths, underwater mountains covered with shells or seaweed, and all kinds of strange-looking Sea Fish.

"Boom~!"

A water column three feet high exploded.

Xiao Chen jumped up from the sea, holding the tail of a big fish in his hand.

"Hey!"

He shouted softly and raised his hand vigorously.

"Boom~!"

A large amount of flames swept through, turning the seven-foot-long fish in his hand into a grilled fish on the spot.

"Whoosh!"

Skillfully manipulate East Flower Wind Sword to cut open the belly of the fish and take out the Mutated Demon Core inside.

Xiao Chen immediately let go and threw the fish body back into the sea. Looking at the school of fish vying for food below, he couldn't help but frown.

Then he put away Flying Sword and returned to the nearest island to adjust his breathing.

"It's strange, how come there are so many Sea Fish?"

When I first encountered Golden Core Sea Fish, Xiao Chen was quite happy. I smeared Spirit Honey on the fish before grilling and found that the taste was much better.

First of all, in terms of appearance, it has an extra layer of shiny brown luster.

After eating it, not only does it have a unique sweetness, but the fish meat also becomes more tender and juicy.

But the problem is, after he had eaten twelve meals of grilled fish for three days in a row recently, he finally realized that something was not right.

"Did I stab the fish nest?"

Xiao Chen is a little confused. "Why are there so many Golden Core Sea Fish here?"

In any case, Golden Core is not Chinese cabbage, and it is impossible to gather it so densely under normal circumstances.

More importantly, although so many Sea Fish brought a lot of Demon Core, it also seriously slowed down his search speed.

"This is not the way to go."

After completing the simple breath adjustment, Xiao Chen did not continue to explore, but seriously began to think about countermeasures.

At first he did think it was a matter of luck, but after three days, it became clear that the situation was not as simple as luck.

There was probably something going on around him that he didn't know about, which attracted a large number of Golden Core Sea Fish.

So the best way is to stop the search first and go to the nearby area to inquire about the situation.

Although it may not be helpful, at least try to find the reason.
