But, now is not the best time to practice Sars Refining Art.

The most important thing right now is to break through in cultivation, everything else can be slowed down first.

Therefore, Xiao Chen simply sorted out his inner breath and took the initiative to wake up from his trance.

I took a look outside first.

I saw that a large area of the sea not far away was boiling at this time, emitting bursts of white water vapor.

The originally blue water was now turbid and filled with grayish brown or burnt black Impurities.

The magma eruption had a considerable impact, and it has not completely subsided even after a day.

Fortunately, this place has always been a Death Trap, with few people living there, and no innocent people were accidentally injured.

"It's over."

Xiao Chen waved his hand to lift the barrier and asked, "I want to return to the Compassion Sea now. Are you sure you want to leave that island, even if you may not be able to go back in this life?"

"It's not too late to regret now, I can send you back and give you a fortuitous opportunity."

"It will be too late to regret it later."

The outside world is quite dangerous, especially now that Sea Race is in chaos, even monks can't stay safe on their own.

On the contrary, if you stay on such a remote island, you may be able to spend your life peacefully.

"I'm sure!"

The young man answered resolutely, "I promise I won't regret it!"

There was a longing for the outside world in his eyes, a little expectation and confusion about the future, but he didn't flinch.

That's fine, Xiao Chen doesn't intend to go back on what he's already promised.

After all, it's just a matter of luck.

He didn't say much, but directly urged Cloud Piercing Shuttle to rush towards the Compassion Sea.

Since the location of this dangerous place was provided by the boy next to him, there was no need for him to return to the isolated island.

Golden Core Sea Fish actually has some brains, but not much.

Xiao Chen didn't realize this very deeply before. After all, he almost always relies on escape skills to get around.

But after switching to the spirit shuttle this time, he immediately clearly noticed the increase in the number of Golden Core Sea Fish in the sea.

There is no longer the Spiritual Power fluctuation caused by the high-speed advancement of Dunshu as a deterrent.

Cloud Piercing Shuttle attracted many Golden Core Sea Fish active attacks along the way.

As we got closer and closer to the Compassion Sea, the number of attacks quickly increased from just once in three days to once a day.

Especially after getting close to the Ember Sea.

In just one morning, Xiao Chen actually encountered two Golden Core Sea Fishs.

So much so that he had to stop the spirit shuttle and take action to get rid of these annoying Sea Fish to prevent them from constantly attacking and causing damage to the spirit shuttle.

However, when he was digging Demon Core, he saw a stream of light coming towards him from a distance.

Logically speaking, this place is on the edge of the Compassion Sea, and there are almost no monks here.

So Xiao Chen looked at it curiously, and found out that the other party was actually driving a large Spirit Boat, which seemed to be carrying a lot of monks.

When passing Ember Sea, he actually stopped at the edge and put down two hitchhikers Golden Core cultivator.

Then he continued to take a large boatload of people and left straight to the west.

Huh?

Where is this ship going?

Xiao Chen I don't understand. There's obviously nowhere to go if you go west.

Are you planning to go to the Storm Sea?

But having said that, Compassion Sea and Storm Sea actually had some exchanges on products before, but not too much.

After all, if Golden Core cultivator runs so far, the risks along the way will be too great.

Although Nascent Soul True Lord has sufficient strength, given their status, they certainly cannot afford to do such menial work as running a business.

Because there is no obstruction on the sea.

Therefore, even though they were hundreds of miles apart, the two monks in the distance noticed Xiao Chen watching here.

One of them suddenly focused his eyes, turned his head and winked at his companion beside him.

Their tasks are too special and not suitable for more people to see.

The companion immediately understood and nodded slightly to express his agreement.

So the two of them flew towards Xiao Chen together, and at the same time took out Spirit Artifact in advance and were ready to take action.

However, when they reached a distance of nearly a hundred miles, they began to explore in advance with Divine Sense.

But they immediately stopped moving in a tacit understanding.

White Feather Robe is exactly the same as the rumored one, with an exceptionally young face that looks like he is only in his twenties, and a face that remains calm even when faced with the approach of a strange monk.

They were all sending dangerous signals to both of them.

"Daoist Ling, why do I feel something is wrong? This person looks familiar."

"Daoist Yi, I also feel something is not right, how about we forget it?"

The two looked at each other, then slowly pulled away and prepared to leave.

However, they immediately heard a loud shout, "Hey, why are you two leaving? Come over and have a chat."

Xiao Chen Seeing them trying to leave, he immediately asked to stay.

However, the two people seemed not to hear it and were still retreating.

It even sped up the three-point speed.

Xiao Chen saw this and immediately chased after him.

When the two of them saw him chasing after them, they actually tacitly took out Talisman to bless themselves, and then fled in two opposite directions.

With the support of Talisman, their speed immediately skyrocketed.

This is one of the best escape methods against a single powerful enemy.

Basically, if you choose one target, the other one can be safely evacuated.

Normally this method is quite useful, but when they encounter Xiao Chen, it can only be considered bad luck for them.

I saw flashes of fire in the sky, and the monk on the left rushed out for more than fifty miles before he was intercepted on the spot.

As for the monk on the right.

As soon as he escaped, he was immediately captured by Mechanical Grappling Claw.

Now Xiao Chen is grabbing the back of his neck and holding him in his hand, and they are blocking him in front of the monk on the left.

"We're here, why are you running?"

Xiao Chen said with a smile, "It seems that you have recognized my identity, so I don't have to ask myself what I should explain, right?"

"Whoever is willing to cooperate honestly, I can consider saving his life."

"If it doesn't work, then you can just leave it and feed the fish."

However, the monk on the left turned his hands over and took out eight walnut-sized black thunder beads and clamped them between his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, he yelled loudly and with anger, "Xiao Chen, I know you are very powerful, but you'd better not force me!"

"Let me go today, let's be safe on our own."

"If you have to be aggressive, the Kui Water Thunder Pearl in my hand is not just a decoration. At most it is Mutual Destruction!"

"I only have a bad life, but if I exchange it for a genius like you Mutual Destruction, it won't be a loss."

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. "You still dare to threaten me, you are seeking death!"

Before he finished speaking, he immediately raised his legs and performed the move Cloud Dragon Tail Swing.

"Boom~! Boom~!... Boom~!"

Eight rapid and dense explosions sounded.

The monk actually didn't lie. The moment he felt the fluctuation of Spiritual Power, he directly detonated the eight Kui Water Thunder Pearl in his hand.

Immediately, a large ball of sea-blue lightning raged, almost completely covering a radius of ten miles.

A large red fire lotus bloomed, but was torn to pieces by the fierce thunder in an instant.

The forces of water and fire collided, triggering a secondary explosion on the spot.

"Damn, what the hell is this?"

Xiao Chen held up another monk in front of him as a human shield.

The power of those thunder beads was much greater than he expected, and it was several times more powerful than the Geng Metal Thunder Pearl he had seen before, directly destroying the Jade Terrace Fire Lotus.

At this time, it is definitely a dead Daoist friend rather than a poor Daoist.

Even so, a large stream of blazing thunder still followed Xiao Chen's arm and penetrated into his body.

It flows through the internal organs and attempts to damage the flesh and blood meridians along the way.

Fortunately, Body Cultivator can also exercise internal organs and has higher resistance than Cultivator of Magic.

Therefore, Xiao Chen only felt numb and a little stunned, but did not suffer any special injuries.

The lightning that was transmitted twice was not enough to injure him.

"This power is exaggerated. Could those eight Kui Water Thunder Pearl be the work of Sea Race?"

Xiao Chen looked at the temporary shield that was completely stiff in his hand, even a little crispy.

He broke off the slightly deformed Storage Ring and threw it into the sea.

As for the monk who detonated the thunder bead.

Because it is located in the middle and cannot be avoided, it has been purified by the thunder until not a single hair is left.

Only a small piece of completely twisted stone fell from the sky.

Xiao Chen raised his hand to collect the volley and took a closer look.

As expected, it was Storage Ring that had been severely damaged and deformed.

To be honest, this is also the first time he has seen Storage Ring damaged so badly that it is completely unusable.

"Fortunately, the damage is not serious and it should be able to be opened."

Xiao Chen checked another one, Storage Ring, and found that its restrictions were relatively intact and seemed to be usable.

In this case, you might as well look for clues from Storage Ring.

Thanks to the fact that some of the restrictions have been destroyed by lightning, it is much easier to crack this Storage Ring.

In addition, Xiao Chen is already very proficient in such things and has accumulated sufficient experience.

Therefore, it only took half an hour to lift all the remaining restrictions.

Divine Sense probed into it and scanned Spirit Stone out of habit.

But this is obviously a not very wealthy Golden Core cultivator, with only more than thirty-four thousand yuan Spirit Stone in his body.

On the contrary, he also brought a knife, a shield, two spare Spirit Artifact, plus a stack of Talisman for self-defense.

It's a pity that I didn't have time to use it in the end and turned into useless debris.

The elixirs are even rarer, with only half a bottle of Essence Returning Pill uneaten.

Instead, he brought a lot of miscellaneous trivial items such as Compass of various sizes, low-level Spirit Herb, strange tokens, etc., which belonged to the standard of a poor casual cultivator.

If you look at it this way, since the two of them are acting together, the other one should be doing the same thing.

I guess he didn't bring anything good except for a few rare thunder beads.

Xiao Chen found three letters from the debris.

One of the letters was slightly yellowed, showing its age.

When I opened it, I found several lines of beautiful small characters inside.

The person who wrote the letter turned out to be the monk's fiancée. She stated that due to Lineage changes between the two parties, she could no longer fulfill the engagement, and she wrote a letter specifically to tell her to find another lover.

"Ah, this is actually a letter of divorce."

Xiao Chen put the letter paper back. No wonder this letter looked so old, but it was still kept in Storage Ring. He probably couldn't bear to throw it away.

He sprayed Spirit Fire from his hand, burned the letter to ashes, and threw it into the sea.

Then open the second envelope.

Immediately Xiao Chen saw the handwriting from Jin Luan.

The letter ordered him to temporarily suspend the mission at hand, first rush to find another monk to join, and then rush to the Ember Sea together to participate in the new search mission.

The two of them are only responsible for coordinating the search and confirming the location of Sha Qi.

Another group of monks who have arrived at the Ember Sea in advance is responsible for the specific collection task.

"Sea Race is actually still looking for Sha Qi, and is deploying more manpower?"

Xiao Chen suddenly became happy. "It's a pity that you can't do it, you are not as fast as me."

If he had received this news before, he might have been anxious.

But now that he has successfully condensed Five Elements Seal, there is no need to be too stable and there is no need to panic at all.

And I feel even happier when I think that in the process of obtaining Sha Qi, I also disrupted some of Sea Race's plans.

It is extremely slow and difficult to regenerate something like Sha Qi.

At least within ten thousand years, Sea Race will not be able to obtain Sha Qi from the same location.

It can be said that the fact that Xiao Chen successively intercepted Sha Qi in the first place is simply killing two birds with one stone.

He opened the third letter smoothly.

This is the original mission of the monk.

Before this operation, he was responsible for secretly purchasing Yang-Preserving Stone from Ink Stone Market and transporting it to a designated cave.

Every time you send a new Yang-Preserving Stone, you can get the Spirit Stone spent on the last purchase, as well as the Contribution Token given by Sea Race.

As long as enough Contribution Token is accumulated, he can exchange it for the Breakthrough Spirit Pill he wants.

The letter also promised that the exchange price would be at least half lower than that of Da Zongmen.

If you are more diligent, you can save the required Contribution Token in just ten years.

This amount of time is undoubtedly very fast for ordinary Golden Core cultivator. No wonder it would attract him to secretly seek refuge with Sea Race.

"I just said that this pile of tokens looks a bit strange. It turns out to be Sea Race Contribution Token."

Xiao Chen rummaged through the debris again and successfully found a total of nineteen tokens that were only as long as a thumb.

The reason why he thought the token was strange was because there was no word on it, just patterns like a few small fishes.

But now it seems that it is not a small fish, but the text of Sea Race.

"If I hold Sea Race Contribution Token, can I redeem the prize?"

Xiao Chen I had a sudden thought, if I sell this thing as sundries, no one will take it, but if it can be exchanged, it should be worth a lot Spirit Stone.

But it might not be feasible for him to go directly. Sea Race has probably put him on the enemy list.

"Well, keep it for now, just in case you need it."

Considering that these Sea Race Contribution Token are relatively small and do not take up much space, Xiao Chen still keeps them in Vast Sea Ring.

After handling these things, he turned his head and looked to the south of the Ember Sea.

According to the clues mentioned in the letter, there should be a group of monks sent by Sea Race there, searching for Sha Qi.

Since we happened to meet him, why don't we deal with it by the way?

Xiao Chen did what he said, and eight hours later successfully captured the other two traitors and their Storage Ring.

But this time, he was not in a hurry to crack it.

Instead, he drove Cloud Piercing Shuttle first, turned back, and arrived outside Ink Stone Market, landing on a small hillside.

The reason for taking this route is to return to the Compassion Sea instead of going back the same way.

Not only because Xiao Chen agreed to send the boy to the Compassion Sea, but also to remind Ink Barrier Sect to be careful of Sea Race's attack.

After all, he had obtained information about the attack on the Ink Barrier Sect from different traitors before.

By reminding them first to prepare them, they may be able to nip problems in the bud.

"Did you see the pile of buildings in front of you?"

Xiao Chen opened the spirit shuttle and pointed outside, then turned to look at the young man. "This is Ink Stone Market, and Core Area has entered Compassion Sea."

"Anyway, along the way, I'll give you one more choice."

"Are you going to a relatively safe place and slowly getting to know the environment here? Or are you going to stay in a relatively chaotic place where you may have some opportunities?"

"According to the information I got, this place is probably going to be in chaos."

"If you ask for peace, I will take you to another place later. If you ask for opportunity, you can go down now."

Xiao Chen really wants to know what choice the other party will make.

A normal monk would definitely want to go to a relatively safe place, but he had an inexplicable premonition that the young man would choose to stay here.

As expected.

After hearing this, the young man immediately stood up and bowed deeply.

Then responded, "Junior chose to stay here, thank you senior for escorting me along the way. Senior's kindness, I, Chu Tianze, will definitely remember it in my heart!"

After saying that, he decisively jumped out of Cloud Piercing Shuttle.

Then he bowed again and walked down the hillside without looking back.

The pace is firm, and some even can't wait to embrace the new world.

"Chu Tianze? What a good name."

Xiao Chen looked at his leaving back and couldn't help but feel a little emotional and curious. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I hope this kid can live a few more days and don't lose his life casually."

To be honest, he was actually looking forward to the young man in his heart, and he didn't know if he could really become famous in the future.

But that's for the future.

Xiao Chen also jumped out of the spirit shuttle and was reincorporated into Vast Sea Ring.

Then he flew straight to the entrance of Fangshi and looked at the Ink Barrier Sect disciple who was standing there on guard. "Hey, do you know me?"

It is expected that with his current reputation as Xiao, I dare not say that anyone in the world does not know you.

But for most disciples of the sect, everyone should already know him.

When the disciple with the name Foundation Establishment Cultivation heard this, he shook his head in confusion.

Then he hurriedly saluted. "Cross-Barrier Peak, disciple Liu Renxin, please see your senior. I am blind, please forgive me, senior."

Okay, it's just Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so it's normal to not know the latest information about Cultivation World.

Xiao Chen pretended that nothing happened and coughed lightly. "Well, what, where is the person in charge of your city? I have something important to do with him."

Liu Renxin Hearing this, he raised his head and took another look at this strange senior.

He just thought it was a senior from the sect who came over, and he was shocked.

But he did not dare to neglect, and immediately responded, "Senior, Ink Hidden True Person is now in charge of the city, and he usually lives in the middle building Listening Wind Tower."

Xiao Chen got the position and didn't stay too much.

I quickly found the special attic that was six stories high and transparent from north to south.

Then he was stopped by the gatekeeper Foundation Establishment Page at the door of the building. "Senior, please stay!"

"My master is entertaining a distinguished guest upstairs, and he really can't get away."

"Senior, please come back another day."

Huh?

No, am I so unknown to you?

Xiao Chen Before Listening Wave Market, basically all the monks I met could recognize him.

It seems now that it was mainly due to the influence of strong winds and Spirit Communication Pavilion that his deeds in New Ruin were widely circulated.

Now that we have moved here, it is obviously not that famous.

"I have something important to do with your master, something very important."

Xiao Chen tried to communicate. "Can you understand what I mean?"

However, when the boy heard this, he looked up and down at his clothes.

Then he shook his head decisively. "I'm really sorry. The master specifically told me to wait. No one can disturb him today."

"Senior, please go back first and come back another day."

As the doorman of Ink Hidden True Person, although he only has Foundation Establishment Cultivation, he is already used to seeing Golden Core cultivator.

He doesn't even pay attention to so-called important things.

After all, judging from his attire, although the senior who came to visit could not be said to be shabby, he was far from rich and certainly not as important as the distinguished guest upstairs.

Moreover, the doorman is not afraid that if he refuses like this, he will be resented.

If he breaks through Golden Core in the future, as a Ink Barrier Sect monk, he will naturally have the support of his sect and fellow disciples.

If he cannot break through in cultivation, he will Lifespan exhaust himself and die of old age one step ahead of his master.

In other words, you can be protected by Ink Hidden True Person for the rest of your life without having to worry about retaliation.

Therefore, he was naturally confident when he refused, and he was not even willing to report the matter.

"Hey, I think you just have an itchy skin and you need to take care of it!"

Xiao Chen's pressure burst out and he glared at the other party.

The aura of Golden Core Great Perfection is simply not something that Foundation Establishment Cultivator can bear.

The doorman immediately felt as if a heavy hammer had hit his chest, almost making him unable to breathe.

As soon as his legs went weak, he fell to the ground, his little face turned pale with fright.

At the same time, the strong aura of cultivation also alerted the monks upstairs.

"Who dares to make trouble with me Ink Stone Market... huh?"

Ink Hidden True Person The moment he sensed the pressure, he subconsciously shouted and scolded him.

But before I finished speaking, I felt something wasn't right.

If he can hold such a position, he naturally has very good information in the Ink Barrier Sect.

I have seen the portrait of Xiao Chen through the internal channels of the sect.

At this moment, looking at the slightly familiar face, his eyes widened in surprise.

But it doesn't matter, this is his territory.

There are Third-Tier Great Formations deployed by sects in the city that he can call at will. With Formation Powers, he is not afraid of the other party.

Ink Hidden True Person immediately took out Formation Flag to show the majesty of the Ink Barrier Sect.

As a result, True Disciple, the sect he was entertaining warmly, immediately became excited.

"Ouch, Daoist Xiao!"

Ink Cave True Person ignored the stairs and jumped down from the sixth floor with a quick stride. He greeted with a smile on his face, "What kind of wind is blowing today that it actually blew you here?"

"I was in the ruins years ago, thanks to your help."

"Since you are here today, I would like to ask fellow Daoist friends to come and try our Ink Barrier Sect specialties."

Ordinarily Ink Cave True Person is True Disciple. An ordinary monk would not let him ignore his figure like this.

But before in the ruins, he witnessed Xiao Chen take action and was impressed by its proud grace.

Moreover, a monk who takes the Path of Enlightenment path will definitely be the best among his peers even if he becomes Nascent Soul in the future.

When you have a choice, you must seize the opportunity to make good friends with the other party.

Seeing his master's distinguished guest with a smile on his face, the doorman was dumbfounded.

What's going on?
