Chapter 580: Blood Stains Never End, Desolate Beast Stone Dragon

Above the Qu Yang sea area.

Two figures smiled at each other.

There was a coughing sound from below, the waves rose and fell, and Duan Li flew out of the seabed with difficulty, slowly coming to the side of the two.

His face was pale, and from time to time, black energy like earthworms drilled back and forth on his face.

The breath was so withered that it was hard to believe that he was a Jin Dan cultivator.

"Cough cough... I... thank Qingyangzi for the reminder. If not, I would have fallen under this person's sneak attack." Duan Li said, his black and white face full of gratitude.

Luo Chen waved his hand and smiled: "No problem, you and I are fighting side by side, the reminder is what it should be, it's just a pity for Daoist Hao Ye."

While speaking, he looked at the Old Fisherman.

The Old Fisherman raised his eyebrows, pointed his finger, and a wisp of thread flew out from his finger, falling into the depths of the sea.

After a while, he pulled a broken corpse out.

It was Hao Ye's corpse.

His eyes were wide open, full of unwillingness, and he died with his eyes open!

Looking at Hao Ye's corpse, the three were a little silent.

After a long while, the Old Fisherman put the corpse and the other party's relics into the storage bag.

"After all, we are fellow travelers, even if it is a loose cultivator, there should be a place to bury the bones after death. After returning, I will order people to bury him well."

Luo Chen glanced at his movements, Hao Ye's storage bag, together with the previous spirit beast bag, and flying sword, were all unceremoniously collected by the other party.

Did he get so many benefits without doing anything?

However, the Old Fisherman's greed was beyond his expectation.

He flicked his fingers continuously, and wisps of thread flew out in front of them.

Soon, the white-clothed man's pitch-black wooden sword, together with his storage bag, and even his corpse were tied up.

"Qingyangzi?"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, let go of the Hunyuan Ding chain that tied the white-clothed man, and let the Old Fisherman collect all the spoils into his pocket.

He had no resistance, but Duan Li was a little angry when he saw this.

"Old Fisherman, this person was killed by our hard work, and Qingyangzi made great contributions, how can you..."

The Old Fisherman laughed, ignoring his anger.

"Excuse me, this is the rule of the Wan Xian Society, the first assessment mission is like this. Later, when you take other missions as monster hunters, the spoils can be decided by yourself."

When he said this, he patted the bulging storage bags around his waist.

"These things are not greedily taken by me. They will be handed over to the Monster Hunting Division later, and after screening, they will be contributed for all monster hunters to exchange."

"You are the parties involved, and you have the priority to choose. I will notify you when the time comes."

Such a remark was reasonable and well-founded, and no one could pick out any flaws.

Luo Chen said nothing.

Duan Li naturally couldn't say anything more.

However, after a short silence, Duan Li also tentatively said: "This assessment mission, I count as a failure, why is it counted as my share later?"

The Old Fisherman stroked his gray beard, "Who said you failed?"

"But..." Duan Li looked at Luo Chen, who remained unmoved.

The Old Fisherman explained: "This assessment mission was taken by three people at the same time, as long as it is successful, it is the credit of the three people together. The specific evaluation will be audited by me, the supervisory official."

"Qingyangzi is beyond doubt, directly promoted to a Four-Star Monster Hunter."

"As for Daoist Duan Li, although he did not occupy the main credit, he also contributed a lot. Later, after I take the Mirage Shadow Bead back, the other elders of the Monster Hunting Division will watch it, and you will naturally have a suitable monster hunter star rank. How many stars is hard to say, but there will be a name."

While speaking, he showed a round bead in his hand.

Mirage Shadow Bead, a special magic treasure in the North Sea, can store images.

Its principle is derived from water mirror technique, wall reflection and other spells and magic tools, but it is even better.

Luo Chen looked at the Mirage Shadow Bead, and his eyebrows frowned subconsciously.

Seemingly knowing what he was thinking, the Old Fisherman comforted him, "Don't worry, the images here will not be leaked by the Monster Hunting Division, and your fighting means will also be kept confidential as much as possible."

Luo Chen's eyebrows relaxed by three points, but he was still half-believing.

The Old Fisherman couldn't guarantee him more, since he participated in the assessment mission, some invisible rules must also be followed.

It was Duan Li, who couldn't help but cough a few more times.

"Do we have anything else, why don't we go back first, my injury needs to be adjusted."

The Old Fisherman looked around, "Walking is always possible, but you have to wait for Qingyangzi to stop."

Speaking of this, he put away his smile and looked at Luo Chen.

"Enough, right?"

Duan Li was stunned, his eyes fell on the sea, and the ghosts fighting and killing each other.

After losing the master's control, the white-clothed man's soul-refining banner became an ownerless thing, but he used all the ghosts in it to set up the black domain before.

At this moment, the black domain was broken, and the huge strange ghost king also returned to its original state, trying to escape from this area.

But it was crazily besieged by other ghost kings, and from time to time, a piece of soul body was bitten off from it.

Obviously, those besieging ghost kings came from Luo Chen's hands!

Luo Chen gave a hum and recalled his Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

After a great battle, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was not only not damaged, but the ghost energy in it was also quite full.

Especially, that strange ghost king who was neither human nor beast was also captured into it by a group of monster crab ghost kings!

"Thank you, Old Fisherman."

The Old Fisherman smiled and took back the white-clothed man's broken Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

"No problem, the rules are dead, people are alive. The main banner of this soul-refining banner is still there, and I can take it back to hand in the task. As for how many souls are left in it? A battle where two Jin Dan cultivators died, some loss is reasonable."

"Let's go!"

He waved his hand, and a flying boat appeared under his feet.

He nudged Duan Li.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then showed gratitude and jumped up actively.

Obviously, this is the Old Fisherman deliberately taking care of his injury, otherwise there is no need for a flying boat to replace walking.

Luo Chen also got on the flying boat.

It's just that before leaving, he looked back at this sea area that had experienced a great battle and the waves had not yet stopped.

A proud son of heaven in the Soul Transformation holy land, a loose cultivator who had experienced thousands of hardships and finally promoted to Jin Dan in the grass, fell like this.

Silently, no one sang.

As the Old Fisherman arranged the spiritual stones and injected magic power, the flying boat turned into a stream of light, carrying the three towards the stronghold of the Wan Xian Society in the Qu Yang sea area.

Qu Yang Island is the name of the stronghold.

Four went, three returned.

Xiao Buhuan came out of the island to greet them personally.

For Hao Ye's fall, although he was a little surprised, he was not unexpected.

At the moment, he ordered people to prepare to start the teleportation array.

However, the Old Fisherman stopped the other party's movements.

"Daoist Duan Li was seriously injured and is not suitable for forced teleportation. Rest here for half a month, stabilize the injury, and then leave."

Duan Li looked at the Old Fisherman gratefully, and then said to Xiao Buhuan: "Trouble."

Xiao Buhuan waved his hand, "No problem."

However, in this way, he became even more curious about Luo Chen.

Three Jin Dan cultivators participated in the assessment mission, one died, one was seriously injured, but Qingyangzi was unscathed, which shows the other party's ability.

The heart of making friends arose spontaneously.

"Daoist Qingyangzi rarely goes to sea once, and maybe he will take the garrison mission here in the future, why not let Xiao take you to travel around and familiarize yourself with the environment first?"

Luo Chen raised his mouth slightly, "If so, then I will disturb you."

Just like this, Luo Chen and the others lived in Qu Yang Island for the time being.

Duan Li healed his wounds and didn't go out.

The Old Fisherman went to sea from time to time, it is said that in addition to supervising the mission, he had other important things, only saying that he would definitely come back in half a month.

Luo Chen, under Xiao Buhuan's hospitality, rarely lived a leisurely life.

"The Three-Ocean defense line has its own specialties. The Flowing Ocean sea area has undercurrents, and even the body of a monster beast is difficult to cross the sea, and it is easy to lose direction, which is a natural barrier. Our Qu Yang defense line also has advantages, that is, the endless reefs, which are spread all over the sea area."

"The Wan Xian Society invited the array experts of Shenyuan City to set up the Luo Tian Great Reef Array here. When the array starts, countless reefs move with the trend, twisting and turning, heaven and sea overturning, which is a top-notch killing array."

"And that Ring Ocean sea area, as the third defense line, is a purely defensive place. Its subtlety..."

On this day, Xiao Buhuan led Luo Chen to land on a sea surface.

While introducing the specialties of the Qu Yang defense line to him, he occasionally used the array disk in his hand to mobilize black reefs engraved with strange runes from under the sea surface.

The Luo Tian Great Reef Array, combined with mountains, rivers and sea veins, involves several Third-Rank spiritual veins in this sea area, and is an out-and-out Fourth-Rank offensive array.

Only in this way can we block the powerful monster beasts that rushed through the first defense line.

It looks calm on weekdays.

But once it enters the wartime state, the intensity of the battle here is even better than the first defense line.

Speaking of which, Xiao Buhuan showed a bitter smile on his face.

"This defense line garrison mission looks leisurely, but in fact, it is terrified every day."

"Why?" Luo Chen was curious.

Xiao Buhuan pointed to the far north, "Who knows when the monster army trapped in the Night Demon Heaven of the North Pole will come out of the nest. When that time comes, even if the Fourth-Rank Monster Emperor does not appear, the massive low-level monster beasts will sweep the human hinterland like a tsunami. I don't think the mere Three-Ocean defense line can resist for long."

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

He is very clear that the monster army that can kill into the Profound Demon Sect mountain gate is definitely not some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, nor is it comparable to those monster crab ring-headed turtles in the Xuanyan sea area.

Even after the Demon Annihilation War ended, the number of remaining monster beasts was not that many.

But once they rushed out, relying on the mere Three-Ocean defense line, and even the Wan Xian Society, it was absolutely impossible to resist.

That is a powerful enemy that can only be resisted by integrating the entire North Sea cultivation world.

But in this way, his plan to find a quiet place and deliberately avoid the vortex of the righteous and demonic war, wouldn't it fall through.

Jumping from the center of one vortex to the center of another?

Luo Chen frowned, "Have the three loose cultivators publicly expressed their opinions on this aspect?"

"Those three True Persons?" Xiao Buhuan was stunned, then shook his head, "Except for the Moon Loose Cultivator who occasionally shows her face, the other two are dragons that show their heads but not their tails. Their whereabouts are so mysterious, let alone publicly expressing opinions."

Luo Chen was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, he remembered the few words revealed by the white-clothed man when he fought with him before.

The heart of gossip suddenly arose.

"Daoist Xiao, you said you have joined the Wan Xian Society for seventy years. You must know some deeds of the three loose cultivators!"

"I know some."

"Then what are their real names, do you know?"

"This..." Xiao Buhuan hesitated.

Luo Chen spat out three names, which were exactly the three revealed by the white-clothed man before.

Pang Buju, Leng Xiaoyue, Feng Ling Jushi!

"I don't know about this. However, before the crazy loose cultivator went completely crazy, he did have a Daoist name of Feng Ling Jushi."

Three names, one was verified, Luo Chen was more and more sure of the authenticity.

Looking at Xiao Buhuan, Luo Chen smiled: "I heard that these three have deep hatred with the Profound Demon Sect, what is the specific hatred, do you know?"

Between cultivators, private communication, in addition to insights on cultivation, will also talk about other things.

To put it nicely, it is discussing the general trend of the cultivation world.

To put it badly, it is gossip.

Obviously, Xiao Buhuan's interest in talking was also hooked.

"The Moon Loose Cultivator and the Crazy Loose Cultivator, I don't know, but the Blood Loose Cultivator's hatred with the Profound Demon Sect, I really know a thing or two."

He told the story: "It is said that when the Blood Loose Cultivator was not a loose cultivator, he had a sect to rely on. He himself was also the proud son of heaven who was most expected in the sect!"

"That sect was quite strong, with a Nascent Soul ancestor sitting in town, which can be considered to dominate one side. Naturally, there will be other small powers to curry favor. It is said that there was a Nascent Soul power of the same level that took the initiative to marry the sect where the Blood Loose Cultivator was, and promised a young female cultivator to the Blood Loose Cultivator."

"But this female cultivator was taken a fancy to by a Profound Demon Sect cultivator. At that time, the Blood Loose Cultivator didn't know the other party's true identity, and in the conflict, he killed him in anger."

Hearing this, as a qualified listener, Luo Chen supported the scene appropriately.

"Just like that, did they form a grudge?"

Xiao Buhuan shook his head, "If it's like this, what deep hatred is there to talk about. Especially the holy land disciples couldn't beat the true transmission of the upper sect, it's shameful to say it. This matter, the subsequent development, is the main reason."

He said excitedly: "The Profound Demon Sect also wants face, and didn't send anyone to target the Blood Loose Cultivator, but the elder of that disciple found the Nascent Soul ancestor of the sect where the Blood Loose Cultivator was, and proposed a fight. Not bullying the small with the big, finding the other party's parents to settle the grudge, can be considered to have style. The holy land has an order, the lower sect cannot resist. The fight started. And the result, no surprise, the Blood Loose Cultivator's benefactor was unfortunately defeated in that fight."

"After this battle, the Profound Demon Sect washed away the shame and regained its reputation."

"And the Blood Loose Cultivator's benefactor sat down within ten years after the defeat. The sect felt that the fault was with the Blood Loose Cultivator, or interest, or liquidation, or cutting off, in short, the elders in the sect joined hands to expel the Blood Loose Cultivator from the sect. In addition, the female power that married the Blood Loose Cultivator before was also afraid of the Profound Demon Sect's accountability, and took the initiative to send the married female cultivator into the Profound Demon Sect. It is said that the female cultivator's end was very miserable, and she was used as a furnace and was sucked to death."

"After all kinds of things, the Blood Loose Cultivator's temperament changed greatly, and he gradually embarked on the demonic path. After he achieved the Nascent Soul realm, he first returned to the mountain gate to destroy his own power, and then stepped on the female family, turning it into a purgatory."

Temperament changed greatly?

Benefactor sat down, was expelled from the sect, the beloved woman died miserably...

Luo Chen's eyelids jumped wildly, these things fell on the proud son of heaven of a sect, it was indeed unbearable, going to the extreme, it seems to be a matter of course.

Xiao Buhuan saw Luo Chen listening intently, and his heart skipped a beat.

He seemed to have spoken too deeply.

"Daoist Qingyangzi, these are all hearsay, you must not take it seriously. The details, let alone us loose cultivators, I am afraid that even the parties involved are difficult to clarify, just listen to the excitement, don't promote it to the outside world."

Luo Chen laughed, "I know, Daoist Xiao, don't worry."

Xiao Buhuan saw this, and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he still immediately changed the subject and jumped away from here.

"After the Daoist goes back, becoming a Four-Star Monster Hunter is a nail on the board, I think you will also enter the Volant Dragon Mountain Range to cultivate. I don't know if you have thought about which mountain head to choose as a permanent cave dwelling?"

Sure enough, this topic immediately hooked Luo Chen's interest.

"Daoist Xiao, I don't know if you can introduce one or two?"

Xiao Buhuan smiled proudly, "In this regard, I have really studied it!"

"Does the Daoist know where the two words Volant Dragon in the Volant Dragon Mountain Range come from?"

"Willing to listen to the details!"

"Legend has it that in ancient times, desolate beasts in the North Sea were rampant. There was such a desolate beast, named Stone Dragon, which was refined from minerals and born from the Dao. After it sat down, it fed back to heaven and earth, and derived a Fifth-Rank spiritual vein in the North Sea. After the ancient war between humans and monsters, that area became our human territory. The Profound Demon Sect sat in the North Sea, moved mountains and drove the sea, migrated many spiritual veins, gathered in the Night Demon Heaven of the North Pole, and cast the Soul Transformation holy land! When migrating that Stone Dragon spiritual vein, they didn't expect the Stone Dragon remnant soul to be unextinguished, causing a big mess. Finally, it was the newly promoted Blood Sea ancestor of the Profound Demon Sect who took action personally, subdued it. Not only was the Fifth-Rank spiritual vein moved away, but even that Stone Dragon remnant soul was collected into his pocket."

Xiao Buhuan paused and said firmly: "The Volant Dragon Mountain Range where the Wan Xian Society is located is the old site of that year!"

Luo Chen was shocked when he heard this.

"The Fifth-Rank spiritual vein was moved away, can the Volant Dragon Mountain Range still have Fourth-Rank heritage?"

"Otherwise, how can you say that the holy land's means are exquisite, not something we can imagine." Xiao Buhuan sighed, and then continued: "But it's not that there is no influence, at least the place where the spiritual energy gathers in the Volant Dragon Mountain Range is very different from other Fourth-Rank spiritual veins."

"How so?"

Next, in Xiao Buhuan's narration, Luo Chen knew the specialty of the Volant Dragon Mountain Range.

Ordinary Fourth-Rank spiritual veins are all gathered by spiritual energy.

Centered on the fourth rank, it expands outward, thus achieving a pyramid structure of fourth rank, third rank, second rank, and even first rank.

But the main vein of the Volant Dragon Mountain Range was moved away during the ancient years by the Profound Demon Sect, leading to the lack of support for the branch veins.

After three thousand years of evolution, several branch veins each respected themselves, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, each forming a mountain head.

Therefore, in the Volant Dragon Mountain Range, mountain heads stand, and spiritual veins of all ranks are like stars scattered in the sky, with no trace to find.

Some spiritual veins, seemingly Third-Rank high-grade, are actually castles in the air, and after cultivators swallow and spit for a few months, the grade will fall.

And some seemingly ordinary Second-Rank spiritual veins, as long as cultivators nourish them well, even have the opportunity to reach the medium-grade, or even high-grade, weak Third-Rank level.

Jin Dan cultivators who have just joined the Wan Xian Society want to choose a suitable Third-Rank spiritual vein from it, even if there are Wan Xian Society cultivators marking the grade, but wanting to choose an excellent cave dwelling is still like hitting a big luck.

After listening to the introduction, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"Loose cultivators are really not easy! It's not easy to have a large spiritual vein to live in, but it's still full of difficulties, and if you are not careful, you will lose hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones."

This also made Luo Chen raise his spirit, and when choosing a spiritual land later, he must keep his eyes open and not be set up by others.

Through the matter of the Old Fisherman collecting spoils, he already understood that the Wan Xian Society seems to be a loose cultivator holy land, but in fact, it is still a means for high-level cultivators to collect money.

Jin Dan late-stage cultivators greedily take the spoils of these Jin Dan early-stage and middle-stage cultivators.

Nascent Soul True Persons will covet their savings for many years.

Although the fortune of one or two Jin Dan cultivators is not seen by Nascent Soul True Persons, but it accumulates over time, the income will be incomparable.

This is not dead money, but living water that flows continuously. The Jin Dan cultivators under his command will create more wealth for survival.

He can't really be cut as a leek.

Even if he wants to be a leek, at least he must get what he pays for.

"Thank you, Daoist, for the reminder, Qingyang will keep this favor in mind." Luo Chen bowed and thanked.

Xiao Buhuan waved his hand, but the smile in his eyes was not concealed.

"I have a few vacant cave dwellings to recommend, you can screen them carefully after you go back, maybe you and I can be neighbors."

"Oh, Qingyang is looking forward to it."

Luo Chen was overjoyed and quickly wrote down the mountain heads mentioned by Xiao Buhuan.

And time soon reached half a month later.

The Old Fisherman is back, dusty, and it looks like he went to a very far place.

After returning, he summoned Luo Chen and Duan Li.

Even though Duan Li's state was still poor, he didn't delay, and forcefully started the teleportation array.

In Long Yuan Immortal City.

In a palace, the array light shone brightly.

When it stopped, the old man's body staggered for a moment, but Duan Li couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Luo Chen looked at this scene calmly and walked out of the high platform where the teleportation array was located.

The Old Fisherman couldn't help but look at Luo Chen again, and then said: "You go back to rest first, come here in three days to receive related things, and decide whether to rent a cave dwelling in the Volant Dragon Mountain Range."

Three days?

Luo Chen pursed his lips, this is not bad, giving him enough buffer time to verify what Xiao Buhuan said.

Duan Li was absent-minded, with a vague look of worry on his face.

Luo Chen glanced at him.

With Duan Li's state, I am afraid that even if he rents a Third-Rank cave dwelling, he may not be able to keep it.

But with the injury on his body, if there is no Third-Rank spiritual vein to help, it will definitely not be able to heal quickly.

I think the other party should be very embarrassed!

However, these have little to do with him. If the other party wants to heal, he can provide some help, after all, they have fought side by side once.

Luo Chen said goodbye and left the palace with big strides.

After coming out, looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, Luo Chen couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.

He has now passed the assessment mission, and it is only three days away from getting the Four-Star Monster Hunter status of the Wan Xian Society.

Can be considered to have found an organization?

"Organization?"

"It's just a group of mobs with slightly higher realms. You can't believe others at all, you still have to rely on yourself!"

Luo Chen smiled dumbly, and his steps accelerated.
