Chapter 547: Waiting for the Rabbit, Cliff Snake Remains

Longevity Begins with an Alchemist Grandmaster, Main Text Volume, Chapter 557: Waiting for the Rabbit, Cliff Snake Remains. On the vast sea area, the wild wind swept.

Suddenly, a massive figure shot over from afar like a meteor, and when he stopped, the seawater exploded into countless waves.

At this moment, the heavy rain had stopped, and the waves reflected streaks of seven colors under the sunlight.

Under the hazy halo, the massive figure slowly shrank, the armor dissipated, the wings retracted, and layers of air waves like steam pushed away the surrounding seawater.

In just a moment, as the waves fell back into the great sea, Luo Chen returned to his original body.

Looking at his naked body without any cover, he couldn't help but frown.

Whether it was the Heavenly Roc Transformation or Wang Yuan's Giant Spirit Transformation, there was this problem, where clothing would be torn apart after transformation.

When his realm was low before, the body change was only one or two zhang in size, and ordinary magic robes could expand with it.

But now that he had advanced to the late stage of the Third-Tier Ancient, under full transformation, it would easily be dozens of zhang, and his top-grade magic robes couldn't withstand it.

"Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Even if he encountered any enemies, he had enough self-protection power.

It was also at this time that Luo Chen realized that the so-called Great Dao Oath was not omnipotent.

This black-scaled giant python, which was originally inferior in aptitude, had received the cultivation of both Kun Jiao and Luo Chen, especially after taking a large amount of top-grade Emperor Flowing Pulp, it had finally dug out extraordinary potential, and its future prospects were limitless.

He was waiting here now to meet up with Han Zhan and Black King.

But the scope of the oath content did not restrict Han Zhan from leaving on his own.

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, Luo Chen opened his eyes in confusion from his meditation.

Luo Chen emerged from the sea, using both spiritual eyes and spiritual sense, looking toward a certain direction, but there was no movement for a long time.

Oh, right!

And Luo Chen also fought for enough time for them.

Luo Chen checked his own state; more than half of his magic power remained, and although his body had injuries, it did not affect his normal combat power.

Therefore, Luo Chen was not worried about being caught up.

Following that direction, Luo Chen summoned a magic power cloud, activated the Hidden Array, and quietly flew along the sea surface.

The Great Dao Oath Han Zhan made to him only restricted Han Zhan from doing anything unfavorable to him before he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

With the speed of his full explosion, the period of time just now had already allowed him to escape more than a thousand miles away from the Xuanyan sea area.

The only great demon kings with the spare power to chase Luo Chen, Jin Ao and several others, had also taken a Senior Qingyang Great Palm Print that Luo Chen had accumulated for a long time in secret, and were already unable to take care of themselves.

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner that had become sharper after long cultivation, the God-Sealing Compass that was a must-have for home travel, and the Demon Emperor remains that Black King had snatched from the tiger's mouth.

After flying for about a few minutes, suddenly, the cloud stopped on the sea surface.

Splash!

At this moment, the treasures Han Zhan held were all Luo Chen's.

"Forget it, it's just a small matter after all."

The evacuation point for Han Zhan and the others was a path of survival that Han Zhan had glimpsed from Xuanyan Island through the Array path, and with the help of the God-Sealing Compass's Lan Yun Dense Mist Array, they could escape calmly.

For a time, the joy Luo Chen originally felt about obtaining the supreme treasure also faded.

Otherwise, Luo Chen wouldn't have taken the risk to seize this item.

Especially the demon beasts on Xuanyan Island were not demon crabs and demon turtles known for their speed, and most of them were seriously injured under the Thunder Tribulation.

As long as the distance wasn't too far, he could unilaterally sense the general direction of the other party.

Strange!

Clearly, the meeting point agreed upon with Han Zhan was here, but there was still no sign of them now.

If that were really the case, Luo Chen would have to feel heartache.

Ordinary Third-Tier demon beasts couldn't catch up.

During the flight, he paid attention to the fluctuations of his soul at all times.

If this was abducted by Han Zhan, then Luo Chen would have nowhere to cry!

"No, I have to go find them."

Black King was his spirit beast, and when enslaved, his soul blood had already been collected by him, so there was a certain connection between the two.

Especially that Demon Emperor remains, that was a material from the body of a Fourth-Tier Transformation stage demon beast. If handled well, who knows what peerless treasure would be refined.

"Could it be that Han Zhan saw profit and forgot righteousness, and ran away!"

Just these three things, placed in the increasingly turbulent North Sea cultivation world today, couldn't be bought for millions of spirit stones.

I suppose, there won't be any accidents.

Casting the Healing Art, he simply controlled the injuries on his body, and put on a loose moon-white Daoist robe.

Luo Chen's heart sank.

Subsequently, Luo Chen sank into the seabed and waited quietly.

And Black King!

Luo Chen looked at the sky, where an escape light fled in a panic, and the powerful aura erupting from it was actually at the Seventh Layer of the Golden Core!

Moreover, that aura was quite familiar.

"It's Gu Gu Shaoshang!"

"Why is he here, and looking like he's fleeing in a panic."

Just when Luo Chen was puzzled, a whirlpool appeared on the sea area ahead, and then a giant black-scaled giant python emerged from the water, its body thick and fat, with a ferocious single horn on its head. If one didn't look at the appearance, just feeling the momentum, it already had quite a bit of a towering atmosphere.

It was Black King!

Luo Chen was overjoyed and withdrew the Hidden Array.

Black King also noticed it and swam over hurriedly.

"Master, Black King has fulfilled the mission!"

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of bright yellow light, which drifted out leisurely and hovered above the two of them.

Just by taking a look, Luo Chen felt a sense of antiquity and thickness.

Looking closely, penetrating the bright yellow light, a turtle shell was spinning inside, with dense patterns on it, forming hexagons as a whole.

Such orderly turtle back patterns were also extremely rare in the cultivation world, and only those with outstanding talent could condense them.

"Is this the Demon Emperor remains—Xuanyan Armor?"

Reaching out to summon it, the turtle shell was in his hand.

After examining it carefully, Luo Chen carefully put it into his storage ring, and then looked at Black King.

"What's going on with that Gu Gu Shaoshang?"

Black King was a bit dazed, "I don't know either. When I just escaped from the seabed spring, I found him blocking outside, and it was Senior Han who made a move personally to scare him away."

Scared away?

While Luo Chen was puzzled, a scale on Black King's back opened, and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner flew out from inside.

Luo Chen took it, and Han Zhan's voice drifted into his ears.

"That junior is not simple, proficient in the Array path. Perhaps he is like us, seeing through several hidden paths of survival on Xuanyan Island, and then waiting for the rabbit on our escape route."

"Did you have a fight with him?"

"That didn't happen. How can I say I am a dignified Nascent Soul True Person, how can I make a move against a Golden Core junior again and again. It was just releasing a wisp of Nascent Soul aura to scare him away."

So that's how it is!

Luo Chen couldn't help but nod, but he was still a bit puzzled in his heart. Since he scared the person away at once, why did it delay for half a day.

Perhaps knowing Luo Chen's cautious temperament, Han Zhan explained a few more sentences.

It turned out that the Ring-Necked Turtle clan also knew about the several paths of survival on Xuanyan Island.

After the clan leader and Great Elder perished, there were corresponding Ring-Necked Turtle Demon Kings who took the surviving clansmen to evacuate, and their path was also one of the evacuation routes.

To prevent the two sides from colliding and causing extra trouble, Han Zhan and Black King had to slow down their speed, and only left Xuanyan Island at the very end.

As soon as they came out, they encountered Gu Gu Shaoshang who was waiting for the rabbit, which led to the scene Luo Chen saw when he arrived.

"Alright, this place is too close to Xuanyan Island, just in case, it's better to leave first!" Luo Chen said.

"Are we leaving the Xuanyan sea area and returning to the Du Feiyan Islands?" Han Zhan asked.

Luo Chen shook his head, "I still have to process the batch of Third-Tier Demon Crab materials I got in advance before going back, otherwise if it drags on for too long, those materials won't be suitable for boiling Black Emperor Paste."

While speaking, his magic power rolled up and he held the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in his hand, Han Zhan entered it at the right time, and at the same time handed over the God-Sealing Compass.

Black King's body shrank and curled up under Luo Chen's magic cloud.

Pinching a spiritual formula, the gray magic cloud dissipated at the edge of the sky.

A small island without spiritual energy located tens of thousands of miles away from Xuanyan Island.

A seagull perched on it.

On this day, an escape light fell into it.

The seagull hurriedly greeted, "Master, you are back."

"You came back earlier than us, has anyone from outside been to the Coral Sea Trench cave?" Luo Chen looked at Tian Yu Xuan and asked.

Tian Yu Xuan shook her head hurriedly, "I have checked, no. Even if some low-tier sea demons strayed into the Coral Sea Trench, they were captured and eaten by the nearby blood corals. That place hasn't been discovered yet."

Luo Chen nodded. If it hadn't been discovered, it meant it was still safe.

He would go there to process the batch of Demon Crab shells first, and then it wouldn't be too late to leave the Xuanyan sea area.

Instructing Tian Yu Xuan to guard nearby and be vigilant against external enemies, Luo Chen then took Black King back to the Coral Sea Trench.

Just arriving at the Coral Sea Trench, he took out the God-Sealing Compass, preparing to re-arrange the Lan Yun Dense Mist Array.

"You are still so cautious." Han Zhan said with a smile on the side.

Luo Chen manipulated the compass while answering casually: "When traveling outside, being cautious is always good. Otherwise, as early as Tian Yu Xuan Island, I would have been surrounded by the Demon Spider Crab clan."

Once surrounded, breaking through wouldn't be that simple.

In that battle on Xuanyan Island, he killed his way out of the interception circle like a broken bamboo, which was something he had prepared for long ago.

But if he were ambushed in the cave, even if he exploded with full power, I'm afraid it would be difficult to escape.

If the enemy was that kind of demon clan good at perception and blockade, it would be even more impossible to escape!

Just as he was arranging, Han Zhan suddenly said: "Expand the array range a bit."

"Hmm?"

"Cover a distance of one mile!" Han Zhan estimated a number.

A distance of one mile was about a radius of five hundred meters, which Luo Chen usually used for conversion.

Although a bit puzzled, he still acted according to his words.

In an instant, under the blessing of magic power, the God-Sealing Compass shone brightly, and the array patterns that had been outlined before began to spread outward.

The water flowed, and the red mist permeated.

The Coral Sea Trench, which was already full of red light, became even more crimson.

Those who didn't know would think that a Third-Tier blood coral had been born here.

Just after Luo Chen expanded the array's coverage, Han Zhan opened his mouth and said: "Didn't you notice that there is something extra in your Ten Thousand Soul Banner?"

Luo Chen was stunned.

He really hadn't checked this thing.

Although this Soul Refining Banner had been personally refined and recognized by him, it was mostly controlled by Han Zhan in daily life, which could be considered Han Zhan's place of residence, and it could be considered "providing food and housing" for the other party.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in daily life.

At this moment, when his spiritual sense probed into it, Luo Chen couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Souls!

Countless souls!

Not only the two Ghost Kings from before, the thousands of Ghost General-level souls, but also dense low-tier souls numbering in the tens of thousands.

Not only that, there were even more than a dozen Demon King remnant souls inside!

"These are?" Luo Chen looked at half of them and couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe."

Han Zhan smiled slightly, "When I was monitoring the battlefield for you, it wasn't that I didn't do anything. I just collected some ownerless remnant souls, it didn't take much effort."

This is called not taking much effort?

Luo Chen was a bit speechless.

For a time, he also understood why those demonic cultivators proficient in the soul path liked to wander on ancient battlefields; it was all to collect powerful souls!

There were even those who went from bad to worse, actively stirring up waves and controlling the outbreak of some large and small wars.

Even low-tier soul-refining demonic cultivators had things happen where they controlled the outbreak of wars behind the scenes in secular countries.

No other reason, the gains were simply too great.

On the battlefield, the bloody aura and killing aura were too intense.

In that kind of environment, the souls that could survive, even if they were just remnant souls, as long as they were cultivated well, were absolutely a great weapon.

The batch of souls Han Zhan collected, those tens of thousands of low-tier souls, were not worth mentioning compared to the millions of crab soldiers and crab generals of the Five Great Royal Demon Crab clans, but for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, it was a great replenishment of living forces.

As for those dozen Third-Tier remnant souls, as long as they swallowed and replenished each other later, perhaps they could also give birth to a few complete Third-Tier Ghost King-level existences.

By then, the power of this Ten Thousand Soul Banner would inevitably increase several times!

I guess this was also Han Zhan's intention!

He left a hand before, not only because he didn't want to waste his origin, but also because of the dilemma of a clever woman being unable to cook without rice.

Now that the Ten Thousand Soul Banner had a foundation, he could calmly display some means in the future.

"For me, this is a good thing, obtaining a sharp weapon out of thin air, and it can also make up for the combat power vacancy after losing the Profound Fire Sword."

Luo Chen's joy hung on his eyebrows.

Before he could praise Han Zhan, the other party suddenly said: "Don't you want to take a closer look?"

"Is there anything else?"

Out of curiosity, Luo Chen's spiritual sense probed deeper into the Soul Banner.

The deeper he went, the more souls there were, which he hadn't noticed with a hurried glance before.

Looking at it now, he realized that those war souls seemed to be concentrated around one place.

When Luo Chen clearly saw the body of that place, his face changed drastically.

"This!"

An exclamation.

Subsequently, his magic power surged, and the Soul Refining Banner grew with the wind, expanding to the extreme, reaching nine zhang in length.

Subsequently, the portal of the Soul Banner opened wide, and an object two or three zhang wide slowly "swam out" from inside.

The moment that thing appeared, the aura immediately permeated.

Black King, who was lying at the entrance of the cave, raised his head in surprise and suspicion.

"Master, what is that?"

Luo Chen didn't answer him, but guided the things inside out with as much magic power as possible.

One zhang, two zhang, three zhang... until after a hundred zhang, its body was revealed.

It was a giant snake!

A hundred-zhang giant snake!

Its massive body lay crookedly in the Coral Sea Trench, and even though it had no life, its residual aura still pressed the nearby blood corals to crawl in a graceful posture, as if naturally afraid.

Looking at the giant snake body that was covered in scars and looked like scorched wood.

Luo Chen swallowed his saliva and looked at Han Zhan.

"Cliff Snake?"

Han Zhan's slightly illusory face, although filled with smiles, also showed a bit of exhaustion at this moment.

"It is that Ring-Necked Turtle that failed to cross the tribulation. However, although it failed, it also shed its shackles and had a Cliff Snake body."

"This, this, this..."

Luo Chen sighed repeatedly, unable to stop shaking his head.

"You really gave me a huge surprise!"

Han Zhan said tiredly: "Although I can't help you much in battle, this kind of small matter is insignificant."

This is not a small matter!

A Cliff Snake corpse, although transformation failed and tribulation failed, it was still a top-grade Great Demon King at the Third-Tier Perfection.

If sold, there are plenty of people willing to buy it at a high price.

Even if kept for his own use, some materials on it were also very useful.

Sell, Luo Chen naturally couldn't bear to sell it.

But keep it for his own use?

Luo Chen was also a bit troubled for a time, looking at this Cliff Snake corpse, how to use it properly?

It was also when he was troubled that a feeling of rubbing came from his lower leg.

Looking down, Black King was carefully and flatteringly rubbing against him.

"Master, this..."

Luo Chen frowned, "This is not something you can eat."

"He can really eat it."

Luo Chen looked up, and Han Zhan smiled.

"Before, when I let this little guy make a move, I promised him some conditions, one of which was this Cliff Snake body. You should give it to him. Anyway, this Cliff Snake transformation failed and was blasted by a Thunder Tribulation dozens of times stronger, the materials on it, for you, actually have no use."

Black King also looked at Luo Chen with longing eyes, "Master, when I snatched that Xuanyan Armor for you, I was almost beaten to death by Jin Ao and the others."

Luo Chen's expression changed constantly, and his spiritual sense also went in and out of the Cliff Snake's body repeatedly.

After multiple checks, he had to admit that what Han Zhan said had some truth.

This snake corpse, which looked no different from scorched wood, had indeed lost eight or nine out of ten of its spirituality, and if he used it for medicine or making magic tools or magic treasures, the effect would be quite average.

After all, this was not a demon beast with resistance to the thunder attribute, but a water-attribute great demon that naturally feared heavenly thunder.

Being able to preserve such a complete corpse was already a blessing in misfortune.

In comparison, his harvest still had to be those dozen Demon Crab King corpses, and the Xuanyan Armor that Black King snatched for him.

After some deliberation, Luo Chen withdrew his reluctant gaze.

"Fine, I'll give it to you, don't stop working after eating."

Black King hurriedly bent his body on the ground, constantly making a kowtowing gesture to Luo Chen.

"Many thanks, Master, in the future, I will definitely work hard for you and die for you!"

Heh, this guy's human language is getting more and more fluent.

However, seeing the longing in Black King's eyes, Luo Chen also realized that this Cliff Snake corpse that failed to transform might be another great creation for Black King!

If Black King becomes stronger, then for him, the master, it is also a great joy.

Calculating this way.

Luo Chen's inner knot dissipated, and he smiled freely.

"This trip to Xuanyan Island is truly a fruitful harvest, which can be called my first big harvest since I started!"

With a comfortable heart, he stepped into the cave.
