Chapter 555: Demonic Qi, pure demonic Qi!

Creating a technique from scratch?

For Luo Chen, it was impossible.

That required a certain understanding of heaven, earth, nature, and the laws of origin.

According to Luo Chen's estimation, at least a Nascent Soul True Person could try it initially.

Even an ordinary early Nascent Soul might not be able to do it.

But if it was deducing a technique, with Luo Chen's current extensive knowledge, it was not difficult.

The difference between the two was from zero to one and from one to infinity.

Especially since Luo Chen had a sharp tool to verify the answer—the attribute panel.

When the time came, as long as the deduction reached a certain level, he could use the system's confirmation to verify whether it could be cultivated.

After having enough understanding of Tianxuan's body after transformation.

Luo Chen began to use the spare time of the journey to complete this matter.

In the quiet cabin room, the man in black was seriously reading the jade slip in front of him.

Sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding.

When encountering difficulties, he would take out new books from his storage ring.

Occasionally, he would take the initiative to contact Han Zhan in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to ask for advice.

Han Zhan had been paying attention to the other party's progress, his gaze sweeping over the cultivation techniques and classics taken out by the other party.

"Heavenly Peng Transformation," "Feathering True Scripture," "Qi and Body Same Origin," "Initial Explanation of Qi Refining," "Soul Refining True Scripture," "Turtle Spirit Covering Armor"...

The grades ranged from one to three.

The categories included Qi Refining techniques and body refining techniques.

The directions targeted by various techniques were also very different, such as absorbing spiritual energy, purifying and transforming, enhancing soul foundation... even, there were several pill recipes inside!

Although most of these techniques were copies, not originals.

But such a large quantity also made Han Zhan feel quite shocked in his heart.

Although he usually saw Luo Chen reading various books, he only thought the other party was increasing his knowledge.

No matter what, Luo Chen's cultivation years were only a little over a hundred, and after deducting the ignorant ten or twenty years before stepping into the immortal path, it was only a little over a hundred and twenty years old.

At his age, he was actually able to collect so many techniques!

It was even said that it was not just a simple collection like an ordinary immortal cultivator.

Obviously, Luo Chen had a very deep understanding of most of the techniques inside, which was why he would subconsciously think of other techniques when encountering difficulties, having similar solutions.

Back and forth, unknowingly, he had actually tossed out a prototype of a technique.

If it continued like this, perhaps in a year or so, he would really...

The night was deep, and the waves were surging.

The moonlight spilled onto the man's side face through the wooden window, so focused and pious.

Inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the old man looked at this scene, his thoughts surging, a mix of five flavors.

Boom!

A loud noise woke Luo Chen from his deep thought.

He stood up, looked out the window somewhat blankly, his spiritual sense spread out, and his brows frowned slightly.

The wooden door was knocked.

"Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and Tianxuan walked in respectfully to report the situation.

"A group of demonic beasts is attacking the merchant fleet, large in number, and the scale is even greater than in the past."

Luo Chen stood by the window without looking back and asked, "How many times has the merchant fleet been attacked by demonic beasts in the half month since departure?"

Tianxuan answered without hesitation, "The third time, and the types of demonic beasts are no longer single, and even flying feather demons are mixed in."

Luo Chen felt a little dull in his heart.

Seeing the leopard, one knows the autumn.

The situation in the Northern Sea immortal cultivation world today is getting worse!

The direction the White family merchant fleet is going is still from the outside to the inside, toward the prosperous demonic domain.

Theoretically speaking, the large groups of demonic beasts encountered should be fewer and fewer.

But now it is the opposite.

It can be seen that those forces in the demon sea have gradually taken shape and started to counterattack the demonic domain with purpose.

Oh, calling it demonic domain is not very suitable.

Because the Yuanmo Sect was there before, the human gathering place was called the demonic domain, and the sea area where the demon race was distributed was called the demon sea.

But now the number one force in the Northern Sea is the Canghai Righteous Alliance established by the great power surnamed Li, so it is not good to call it demonic anymore. Therefore, many people have changed their words, calling the human gathering place "Xiandao".

These are all minor details, and immortal cultivators who have no interest relationship don't care.

What Luo Chen thinks is no wonder the number of medicinal herbs collected for him by the Feiyan merchant fleet has become less and less in recent years.

Demonic beasts are rampant, blocking the shipping lanes, and collecting resources is naturally not so convenient.

If there is no action on the human side later, the Feiyan Archipelago might be cut off from contact and isolated overseas.

"My decision to leave the Feiyan Archipelago was indeed correct."

While Luo Chen was rejoicing in his heart, Tianxuan asked in a low voice, "Master, do you want to help? In my perception, among the demonic beasts this time, there are quite a few that are tricky for Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, and his spiritual sense spread out.

Soon, he discovered several powerful auras in the deep sea, all with late second-stage cultivation.

One is fine, it can be resisted with the array that comes with the merchant ship.

But several working together, with the realm of Bai Xiang, the middle Foundation Establishment stage master of the White family merchant ship, is absolutely not enough.

Luo Chen shook his head, "Let's talk later! The master is not in a hurry, why are we in a hurry? The fare is not given for nothing. By the way, I taught you a small trick for cultivating the concealment technique, how are the results recently?"

Tianxuan was stunned, not expecting the master to change the subject and care about her situation.

Immediately, she reported her cultivation situation.

And on the deck, a tragic battle of attack and defense had already unfolded for a long time.

Bai Xiang, with three early Foundation Establishment cultivators of the family, kept wandering around the merchant ship, frequently taking action to kill the low-stage demonic beasts attacking the merchant ship.

The Qi Refining cultivators of the White family were all stained with blood, and their spiritual power was scattered like it was not money.

Boom!

A loud noise was emitted, and the entire merchant ship could not help but shake.

A White family cultivator with a pale face rushed to Bai Xiang.

"Elder, everyone can't hold on anymore."

Bai Xiang's expression was gloomy, "Damn it, the first two times were enough, why is there a late second-stage sea demon pressing the formation this time."

With his perception ability, he could only detect one late second-stage sea demon on the surface.

Even so, it brought great pressure to the merchant ship.

"Elder, what should we do?"

Facing the urgent inquiry of the clansmen, Bai Xiang took a deep breath.

"This won't work, you go quickly to notify those passengers and ask them to take action."

The clansmen nodded hurriedly, but asked with some hesitation, "Are they willing?"

Bai Xiang glared, "We are all grasshoppers on the same boat, what is willing or unwilling. Could it be that they think that after the merchant ship is destroyed, with their strength, they can cross the demonic beast group and reach the next immortal island! Go notify them immediately, don't delay!"

"Understood!"

Bang bang!

The wooden door was knocked, Luo Chen stopped talking and let Tianxuan open the door.

Once opened, he saw a gray-faced Qi Refining cultivator nervously opening his mouth, "Senior Luo, the merchant ship is under attack, our White family elder asks everyone to work together to repel the demonic beast group."

Luo Chen glanced at Tianxuan, and the latter nodded.

Then Luo Chen smiled, "A hundred years of cultivation brings us to cross on the same boat; in this time of crisis, we should indeed work together."

After speaking, he walked out with big strides, and a red flying sword magic tool fell into his hand.

Tianxuan closed the door and continued to cultivate the concealment technique.

This kind of small wind and waves would not pose any danger to the master.

After all, even the battle of that level on Xuanyan Island could not keep the master, let alone now.

What she has to do now is to cultivate the technique as much as possible and cover up her aura, so that she can contribute to Luo Chen in the subsequent journey.

After getting on the deck, Luo Chen immediately noticed several gazes cast at him.

He knew it in his heart.

Those people were all Foundation Establishment True Persons who took the ship together, not from the White family.

I don't know what they will do?

Luo Chen chuckled in his heart, but his face was quite solemn, and the flying sword magic tool in his hand had already flown out, starting to strangle the dense demonic beast group attacking the merchant ship in the sea.

The White family cultivators who were fighting, supported by several early Foundation Establishment True Persons, suddenly had their pressure greatly reduced.

The array light covering the merchant ship, which had been thin before, was now thick again.

Bai Xiang saw this and could not help but relax his expression.

However, in his heart, he was still quite nervous.

He shouted, "Everyone, please resist for a while, wait for me to cast a magic treasure killing move, slaughter the beast hiding behind, and then the disaster of the demonic beasts will be solved."

"Elder Bai actually has a magic treasure in hand, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"This matter is simple, Elder Bai, please do it."

Everyone responded in unison.

Bai Xiang smiled first, then his expression was serious, and he sat cross-legged on the top of the big ship.

A round bead spat out from his mouth, emitting a hazy light.

Surging spiritual power poured out from the meridians and poured into the round bead.

A powerful aura rose with his infusion of magic power.

It can be imagined that the next strike will definitely be earth-shattering!

On the deck, Luo Chen, who was controlling the flying sword to kill the enemy, glanced at it, and was a little surprised in his heart.

The quality of that round bead magic treasure was quite extraordinary.

The quality was even better than his Xuanhuo Sword back then, and on par with that Tianyue Zijin Wheel.

"The Northern Sea is rich in resources, but because the Yuanmo Sect likes to use the flesh and soul of living beings to refine magic tools and magic treasures, the weapon refining techniques here have gone astray, and the number of magic treasures is scarce."

"However, although there are few, all those that appear in the world are of excellent quality."

"It can't be said like that; how could the weapon refiners who make magic treasures be willing to make inferior finished products with precious materials. The flood of inferior magic treasures in the Yuding Region was actually caused by Tianfan City."

While Luo Chen was muttering in his heart, Bai Xiang over there had already prepared.

He stood up abruptly, looked in one direction with burning eyes, and pointed.

"Go!"

The next moment, the hazy light of the round bead converged to the limit and shot out silently.

Swish!

The round bead entered the sea, unremarkable at first.

But suddenly.

Boom!

A huge water column rose from the sea.

The powerful explosion aftermath even pushed the merchant ship back several feet.

As the spray settled, a strange fish with a massive body, fully seven or eight zhang long, emerged from the sea.

Seeing the body of the demonic beast, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with extraordinary knowledge blurted out.

"So it's a Black-Green Treasure Basin, no wonder it can gather so many sea demons of different races."

Black-Green Treasure Basin, the whole body is black-green and swollen, as if it had been beaten up.

But in fact, it has the title of Treasure Basin.

This fish is extremely gluttonous, and anything with rich spiritual energy, whether alive or dead, regardless of stone, wood, flesh, or blood, likes to swallow it.

Often when captured and dissected, many precious resources can be found inside its body.

This fish, because it swallows too many things containing spiritual energy, its body will also emit special spiritual energy, like a moving spiritual vein place.

Therefore, many low-stage demonic beasts often follow it and cultivate beside it.

Seeing the appearance of the Black-Green Treasure Basin fish corpse, Bai Xiang suddenly realized, and a hint of joy appeared on his pale face.

The Treasure Basin demon fish is dead, and the demonic beast group should also disperse voluntarily.

In this way, he not only solved the disaster of the demonic beasts but also got a late second-stage Treasure Basin fish, not only making up for the loss but also possibly having a big harvest.

Just as he was ecstatic, he heard the screams of the low-stage clansmen below still endless.

"How could this be?"

The demonic beast group did not disperse!

Even, they attacked more fiercely.

Bai Xiang, who was extremely puzzled, released his spiritual sense regardless of everything, and his eyes looked around frequently.

Suddenly, a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

I saw five huge shadows in the sea, rising and falling in the surging sea.

There are five more late second-stage sea demons!

Bai Xiang's expression was pale, "My life is over!"

At the same time, the several Foundation Establishment passengers who were helping to fight also discovered this change.

Two of them, without hesitation, flew out from the deck.

Escaping the protection of the array, they turned into a streak of light and flew toward the high sky in the distance.

When disaster strikes, everyone flies separately!

Bai Xiang saw this, although he was extremely angry in his heart, he could not help but sneer.

"Don't you really think that after leaving the merchant ship's defensive array, you can run away with your speed?"

Sure enough!

The next moment, the five shadows in the sea, three of them moved.

The three opened their blood basins and spat out streaks of golden water arrows toward the sky.

Swish swish swish!

The golden water arrows went extremely fast, much faster than the normal flight of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but in an instant, they caught up with the two figures.

The two had no choice but to stop and cast defensive means to resist.

After finally blocking it, before they could rejoice, they saw more golden flying arrows arriving through the air.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

In just a few breaths, the two had their defensive means broken and were pierced by ten thousand arrows.

Their bodies fell from the sky like broken cloth bags and were divided and eaten by the three huge demon shadows.

It is the Jin Jian Demon Fish!

And, there are three late second-stage Jin Jian Demon Fish.

Such existence, the single attack may not be powerful, but if they work together, even the great cultivators of the late Foundation Establishment stage must avoid them.

They didn't take action before and hid in the dark, must be fearing the power of the human cultivator's magic treasure.

But as Bai Xiang exhausted his spiritual power and forcibly urged the magic treasure to kill, they no longer had any scruples.

The Black-Green Treasure Basin has low intelligence and only knows how to eat by instinct.

But the Jin Jian Demon Fish is not stupid at all.

Bai Xiang looked around, his face full of despair.

"Could it be that this time I will really die in the sea?"

On the deck, Luo Chen, who was strangling low-stage sea demons, saw this situation and could not help but shake his head.

It seems that this ship cannot stay.

However, before leaving, he didn't mind taking action to save the people on this ship.

Just when he wanted to take action, his brows jumped suddenly.

"It seems that I don't need to."

In his spiritual sense, a powerful aura was chasing the wind and the moon.

Dozens of miles away, a streak of light was flying low over the sea, and wherever it passed, the waves parted, like a white line.

The spiritual pressure of the Core Formation stage was clearly revealed.

After a while.

That figure arrived with a bang under the gaze of everyone.

With just one sword, he cut the sea into two pieces, countless low-stage demonic beasts died, and the three Jin Jian Demon Fish turned into pieces.

The other two late second-stage demonic beasts that had not yet appeared dived into the deep sea and fled in panic.

This person didn't care, directly broke the array, and entered the White family merchant ship.

As soon as he entered the ship, without waiting for the gratitude of the many rescued cultivators, he shouted, "This seat is He Yuan, I have requisitioned this ship!"

Everyone was stunned, but soon reacted.

Compared with the grace of saving lives, requisitioning a ship is not a big deal.

Didn't you see that the merchant ship owner Bai Xiang didn't oppose it, but instead leaned up to please the other party?

Not only Bai Xiang, but the other surviving Foundation Establishment True Persons also mostly surrounded him.

Only Luo Chen, showing a state of withered aura, greeted Bai Xiang and said he wanted to adjust his breath and recuperate, then retreated into the cabin.

In the crowd, the abruptly appeared Core Formation cultivator He Yuan glanced at Luo Chen's retreating back and subconsciously frowned.

But he didn't care much, and directly ordered, "Next, don't stop on the way, go directly to Feileng City, don't delay this seat's big business!"

The White family merchant fleet's trip, although it was also going to Feileng City, was also going to sell resources and collect resources on the way.

Only in this way, relying on the price difference of goods in various places, can they make more profit.

Now that they heard they couldn't stop and had to go directly to Feileng City, they knew that they would probably lose a lot of money.

But in the face of life, no matter how much they lose, it is acceptable.

Bai Xiang agreed to this matter without any hesitation.

The big ship changed direction, no longer going to the next immortal island, but straight to the Cold Light direction.

In the second-floor cabin.

As soon as Luo Chen entered, the withered state was immediately put away.

He cast a sound-insulation spell, his expression solemn, muttering in his mouth.

"Strange magic power aura?"

Tianxuan was puzzled; she had also been paying attention to the battle outside, thinking they were going to abandon the ship with the master.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden change, and a strange Core Formation cultivator came.

Before she could ask about the follow-up, another abrupt voice came from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner leaning in the room.

"It's demonic Qi, pure demonic Qi!"
