Chapter 272: The Power of the Sword
In the cave of the main peak of Shark Island, there was a sudden explosion, and a few seabirds parked nearby just flapped their wings and did not fly away immediately, such explosions come once or twice a day, and similar movements have lasted for ten years, so they have become accustomed to it.
A moment later, a gray-faced young man came out of the cave with a "constipated" look on his face, "Alas... The last furnace of materials is also wasted!"
It was no one else who sighed, it was Qin Chuan, the disturbance just now was naturally caused by the alchemy fryer, five years ago, he began to try to refine the first-grade elixir, two years ago, the first-grade elixir reached a three-percent rate of Chengdan, and then began to try to refine the second-grade elixir, so far, the Chengdan rate is less than one percent, and the fryer is simply commonplace, until today, all the materials accumulated for many years have been wasted.
Compared with the "not becoming angry" in alchemy, his talent in refining weapons is much better, four years ago he successfully refined the first magic weapon-level flying sword, and now refining the low-grade magic weapon is not a problem at all, and the medium-grade flying sword magic weapon can barely be refined, which can be regarded as a veritable refiner, but now the materials are almost consumed, and if you want to continue, you urgently need to replenish.
In the talisman making, there has also been a breakthrough, the mid-grade spirit rune poured the sea rune to reach a success rate of three percent, and the golden needle rune reached a success rate of two percent, if it were not for the lack of rune paper for making high-level spirit runes, at this time he had already begun to try to make high-level runes.
In addition, after ten years of hard work, he has also made some progress in the formation.
The six arts of cultivation are just auxiliaries, the most important thing is the improvement of cultivation, just two years ago, he easily advanced to the late stage of foundation building with the help of a medium-grade barrier-breaking pill.
Then he took the Divine Channel Pill obtained from the rotten gambler, and began to realize the control of the aura of heaven and earth, this stage has always been the biggest threshold to block the condensation of the golden pill during the foundation building period, and his behavior is undoubtedly opportunistic, directly saving dozens or even hundreds of years of accumulation time.
For example, in the past, it took almost one pillar of incense time to complete a weekly cycle, but now the time taken has been reduced by one-third, and the efficiency has improved a lot.
In the past ten years, to say that the biggest gain is still in the way of the sword, the sword intent has been close to consummation, although the sword trick is limited to cultivation, it is impossible to practice advanced swordsmanship such as the sword spirit turning into void and the sword intent turning into shape, but the unique techniques of this sword trick are already very proficient, and what is lacking now is only the training of actual combat, it can be said that he now has all the conditions for a sword cultivator.
Lao Bai's progress over the years is also not small, in the Sword Pool Palace, he comprehended the "Flowing Cloud Sword Intent" of the way of gathering and dispersing impermanence, combined with the method of visualization, to create a sword intent condensed with the power of faith, although the power is slightly weaker, but it can continue to attack like a real flying sword, making up for the shortcomings of the Lingxi finger and the rune shield that cannot be used continuously.
As for the problem of weak power, just find a soul refining flying sword that is suitable for Lao Bai.
Needless to say, the second distraction problem is that all he lacks now is a suitable body, but this matter is not to be found!
Ten years of dormancy, quiet and moving, and the materials for alchemy and refining have been almost consumed, and they need to be replenished, and the refiners have obtained a large number of pills and magic weapons and magic weapons over the years, which need to be shot.
However, before traveling, I have to go home to see my father and mother, and my sister who is already pulling the corner of my brother's clothes to ask for candy.
That's right, it's my own sister, Qin's mother Lao Bengshengzhu, who was pregnant with a child in her fifties and successfully gave birth to a daughter, which is a joke in the countryside.
In fact, it is also normal to say, after Qin Chuan's recuperation, Qin's mother's biological age is only in her thirties, coupled with the effect of Zhuyan Dan, it seems that she is a half-old who still has charm, one night, Qin Biao, who drank a few more glasses, looked at the "beauty" under the moon, and couldn't hold it for a while, so this strange thing happened.
What's more interesting is that Qin Ping and Sha Xiaoxiao, the third generation of the Qin family, gave birth to a son a year after they got married, and their granddaughter-in-law and grandmother were confined together.
The Qin family's Ding Xingwang is more than that, there are currently nine children with spiritual roots, although the qualifications are very poor, but a small immortal cultivation family has begun to take shape.
After living at home for more than half a month, the imperial envoy Yinlian flew to Lianxing Island, and there was a large market around Wanghai City, and the goods could also be sold by Zhou Zixu, so the first stop was Lianxing Island.
However, when he saw the tragic situation of Lianxing Island, he knew that he had made a wrong decision, and Zhou Zixu's Wanfa Pavilion also became a ruin, and after inquiring, he learned that three or four years ago, this place was sacked by bandits, and even Xingfang City was broken, and Zhou Zixu was nowhere to be found.
Leaving Lianxing Island and flying towards the open sea, the destination of the second stop is Skull Island, if before, he didn't dare to rush to the open sea alone, but now his strength has greatly improved and he has confidence.
In order to avoid the harassment of sea beasts, Silver Lotus has been flying at high altitude, stopping to rest when it encounters islands, there are generally no people on the small islands in the open sea, only the archipelagos that are connected, or the large islands are inhabited, because small islands cannot resist the wind and waves and sea beasts.
On this day, the originally clear sky suddenly gathered clouds, Qin Chuan thought that this was a sign of the coming storm, and hurriedly accelerated his speed, hoping to find an island to hide.
Soon, he did find an island, but by this time he knew that it was not a storm that had descended, but someone who had crossed it.
At this time, it would definitely be misleading, and the thunder tribulation was not fun, so he planned to go around, but a golden carp rose into the air and rushed into the clouds.
"Hey, it's the transformation of the demon beast, this has to be seen!" In the future, whether it is Yaya or Qingzai, they will definitely have to go through the transformation level, and it is good to gain more knowledge.
The huge golden carp rolled and swam in the clouds, countless arcs of lightning struck it, and the tough scale armor began to shatter, and the golden carp let out a howl of pain.
According to the description in the classics, the transformation of the demon beast is the process of shaping the body and refining the root bones, generally after condensing the demon pill, the spiritual wisdom can be transformed to a certain extent, and the demon beast after the transformation is called the demon cultivation, because they usually choose to turn into a human form, so they can no longer be called a beast.
Just like Luan Wei and that Fairy Li, as long as they are close to human beings, they will be treated on an equal footing.
In the blink of an eye, a pillar of incense time has passed, and the golden carp's transformation calamity is nearing the end, at this time, its whole body is crispy and fleshy, even if the transformation is successful, it will have to go through a long time of cultivation.
What makes Qin Chuan feel strange is that a demon beast like the golden carp usually has a huge ethnic group, I don't know why this golden carp is not only lonely, but also ran to the sea not far from the sea to cross the catastrophe, isn't it afraid of being discovered by other sea beasts or human monks?
The thought was only fleeting, and the thunder and lightning gradually stopped, and the scorched golden carp fell towards the island.
After watching the excitement, Qin Chuan was just about to leave, when suddenly a gust of wind mixed with fishy smell blew, and two tall giants came to the wind, these two people were not only strong, but also had scale armor on their faces, and they were obviously demon cultivators in the transformation period.
One of the giant men with a red beard spoke, "Seventh Princess, you can make it easy for us to find it, tsk, hide in the territory of the human race and transform into a shape, you can figure it out!"
"Shrimp three, crab four, this princess will not succumb to that dead octopus even if she dies!"
"I can't help you, you know the temper of the octopus king, if you don't obey, you golden carp clan will not have good fruit to eat!"
As soon as Qin Chuan heard that it also involved the battle of the demon clan, he would not stay, and flew towards the southeast with the imperial silver lotus, but the giant man named Crab Four blocked his way, "Little guy of the human race, look at your delicious meat, I haven't eaten human flesh for a long time, old crab, I just want you to satisfy my hunger!"
"Hehe, actually, I also want to eat crab meat buns!"
"Oh, that depends on whether you have that ability!" As he spoke, a huge crab claw came towards Qin Chuan.
People don't offend me, I don't offend people, since this crab demon took the initiative to cause trouble, he just came to try the cultivation results of a while ago, two thunderbolt bracelets flew out, one hit the crab claws, and the other hit the crab demon.
With a "bang", the Qiankun bracelet bounced off, but the crab claws were also swinged.
"Good magic weapon!" The crab demon didn't dare to slack off, and the other crab claw struck out, but the Qiankun bracelet that hit him suddenly stopped, and a thunderbolt of "click" hit him stiffly, Qin Chuan didn't take the opportunity to launch other attacks, but a divine thought had already fallen on him silently.
"Boy, I'm going to steam you and eat it!" the crab demon was annoyed, and instantly turned into a huge crab and rushed over.
"Hehe, steamed crabs are also my favorite!" The two Qiankun bracelets turned into giant bracelets and struck again, and at the same time, a seemingly nonexistent light and shadow flew out of their mouths.
"Beware of the plot!" Another giant man named Shrimp Three had already captured the golden carp alive and reminded him loudly, but he didn't mean to come up to help.
The crab demon also noticed Qin Chuan's movements, and waved his double pincers to swing the Qiankun bracelet away, and at the same time spewed out a water arrow to hit the almost invisible light and shadow, just when the water arrow and the light and shadow were about to touch together, the light and shadow suddenly changed direction, and then disappeared from view.
"Where did you go?" The crab demon was secretly vigilant, and suddenly sensed something, and a horizontal movement escaped more than ten zhang, but unfortunately nothing happened.
"Overhead!"
Almost at the same time as the shrimp three reminded, there was a "whoosh", and a cut was made on the side of the head, thanks to the crab demon's instinctive deflection of the head, otherwise this time it would have been fatal.
At this time, the crab demon began to be afraid, the human in front of him was not as simple as it seemed, so his first choice was to escape into the water, which was the safest place for the sea beast, but it was another exclamation, which made his huge body stop suddenly, a transparent flying sword, the tip of the sword was waiting for him, and he was scared "Whoa~" and fled into the distance.
The shrimp demon knew that it would not work if he didn't help, so he raised his hand and struck at Qin Chuan with a fork-shaped magic weapon.
Qin Chuan pointed at the Qiankun bracelet, and with a "dang" sound, the fork-shaped magic weapon was knocked away, and the crab demon just stopped its figure, but suddenly found that the transparent little sword had arrived in front of him at some point, and in a hurry, he swung the crab claws to hit, but the small sword disappeared again.
The ghostly flying sword made the crab demon completely frightened, and he fled into the distance with the demon wind, but the "poof" sound sounded from the abdomen, and the crab paste flowed out.
This blow was not fatal, but that strong sense of fear spread in its heart, so the "fragile" heart collapsed, and it actually forgot to resist for a while, and the Traceless Sword was of course polite, and directly inserted into its brain, annihilating the demon soul.
Shrimp Three was entangled in the Qiankun Bracelet and couldn't save him, "Human, you dare to kill Crab Four, wait to bear the wrath of the Octopus King!"
"Lao Tzu was about to eat a meal of braised prawns, and he wanted to leave, but there was no door!" Harnessed Yinlian in hot pursuit, stopping it after a while.
In addition to being more flexible than the crab demon, this shrimp demon is even worse than the crab demon in terms of overall strength, but the scene of a cup of tea also died under the strange and unpredictable traceless sword.
Easily slashing the two shape-shifting fifth-order demon beasts, Qin Chuan was not very satisfied, because the strength of these two guys was too weak, and he didn't even have a chance to hone his trick sword technique.
The golden carp regained its freedom and did not immediately sink into the water and escape.
"Hey, little carp, aren't you afraid that I will kill you together?"
"If you want to kill me, you will do it when I crossed the tribulation just now!"
"Hehe, you're pretty smart!"
"Fellow Daoists have healing pills, I heard that your human race's healing pills are very effective!"
Qin Chuan had refined a large number of pills before, and he didn't care about this, he took out a jade bottle and threw it over, the golden carp rose into the air, opened his mouth to catch the jade bottle, and then bit down the jade bottle, and swallowed the ten pills together.
"Damn, aren't you afraid of dying?"
"Don't worry, fellow Daoists, our demon clan is different from your human race!" After speaking, he stopped in mid-air and stopped talking.
Qin Chuan knew that she was refining the medicinal power, so he took the opportunity to salvage the corpses of the crab demon and the shrimp demon, and then dismantled them on the island, put away the materials and demon pills, as for the shrimp meat and crab meat, he didn't waste it, cut it into pieces, put the condiments, and set up a cauldron to steam it.
A large seafood feast, store the leftovers, and enjoy them slowly later.
At this time, the golden carp had finished refining the medicinal power and turned into an eleven or twelve-year-old little beauty, but there were still small scales on her cheeks that had not faded.
"Hey, how do you have two little horns on your head?"
"Daoist friends don't know, our Golden Carp clan and the Dragon Clan are distant relatives, I am the Golden Carp Royal Family, and the atavistic phenomenon has occurred, so after the transformation, it is already a half-dragon body!"
"Half-dragon body? So what kind of octopus king wants to arrest you just because you're a half-dragon body?"
"Daoist friend guessed correctly, that Octopus King has been cultivating for ten thousand years, but he has never been able to advance to the ninth order, and he wants to use the power of my bloodline to break through, so he sent his demon soldiers and demon generals to arrest me everywhere!"
"Since your Golden Carp clan has the blood of the Dragon Clan, how can you be afraid of him as an eighth-order demon king?"
Jin Carp sighed, "Daoist friends don't know, since ancient times, the bloodline of the Golden Carp clan has been very mixed, like me, there are very few people who have cultivated to the fifth order and transformed into shapes, after my grandfather passed away, there are no more people in the clan who have transformed into shapes, and they can't compete with that octopus king at all!"
"I see, what's next for you?"
"I can't go back now, I need to cultivate for a while, I wonder if I can ask Daoyou for a favor?"
