Chapter 543: Absolute Explosion, Capturing the Third-Level Monster Alive
Black Emperor Cream!
Gradeless elixir!
It sounds surprising, but it is not surprising.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there are many rare elixirs that belong to the gradeless level.
Of course, it does not mean that the Black Emperor Cream is not good, but that its grade is not fixed.
The grade of the medicine does not depend on the recipe itself, but on the main material!
In other words, the better the main material, the higher the grade of the refined Black Emperor Cream.
According to the recipe that Han Zhan took out, the first-grade main material can be used to refine the second-grade Black Emperor Cream, and the second-grade main material can be used to refine the third-grade Black Emperor Cream. As for the fourth-grade Black Emperor Cream, at least the third-grade main material is required to be successfully refined.
As for the main material of the Black Emperor Cream, what is it?
This is very flexible. Scales, shells, and thick skin of the remains, all the hard parts of the monster's appearance can be used as medicine.
It is precisely because of its solidity that the Luoyun Sect puppets were created, which are far better than the puppets of other sects in the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World.
However, the Black Emperor Cream is both the cause of success and failure.
The fourth-grade Black Emperor Cream is too hard to obtain, after all, it requires the scales and shells of the third-grade monsters as the main material to be refined. Therefore, the Black Emperor Cream commonly used by Luoyun Sect is only the second to third-grade quality refined from the main materials of the first-grade and second-grade monsters. Even the third-grade ones are in very small stock.
When Luo Chen was injured on the Tianguyuan battlefield, the bottle of Black Emperor Cream that Han Zhan rewarded him was only the third-grade quality.
As a good start of cooperation, Han Zhan gave Luo Chen the recipe of the Black Emperor Cream.
After getting it, Luo Chen started to study it directly.
This recipe is not complicated.
After all, it is a non-grade elixir.
After studying it several times, he used the ready-made materials on the Feiyan Islands to refine it several times.
There were failures and successes.
Among them, there were many insights.
He found that this ointment is best refined with "living shells", so that the medicinal properties can be maximized!
Although there are many marine monsters in the waters near the Feiyan Islands, they are not known for their strong shells and scales, and there is no condition for living refining.
Therefore, after asking Cheng Haixin and others, he circled a few target areas.
One is the Xuanyan Sea, where crab monsters are rampant and have strong shells.
One is the Tianxia Sea, where there are countless shrimp monsters, and even the remnants of wild beasts have appeared.
Another one is the famous Shenluan Sea, where it is said that there were a large number of turtle monsters that inherited the bloodline of the ancient black turtle in the early years.
Luo Chen quickly made a choice among these target areas.
The Shenluan Sea is too far away, and the Tianxia Sea is too dangerous.
Relatively speaking, the Xuanyan Sea is close and relatively safe, which is the best choice.
After preparing everything, he set off without hesitation.
In order to prevent getting lost, he also specially called Cheng Ji, the most experienced navigation master of the Cheng family, to drive the monster hunting ship and send him off.
At this moment on the monster hunting ship.
Luo Chen held the short recipe Han Zhan had copied out, and read it over and over again, making sure that after reaching the destination, he could kill the monster, collect materials, refine the pill, and temper the body in one go.
Don't get stuck at the most basic level there.
The corresponding auxiliary materials for the Black Emperor Cream were also filled in his storage ring, and he only needed to collect the materials and refine them.
As he was reading, a voice came into his ears.
Luo Chen's mind moved, and he took out a blood-colored token from the storage ring.
"Is there a problem with this?"
Opposite him, Han Zhan's voice came out from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
"There's nothing wrong with the token, but any token of a Yuanying Zhenren has more or less some tracking methods. If you don't want someone to come to your door directly, it's best to deal with it."
Luo Chen frowned slightly, "Storage rings can't isolate that kind of connection?"
Han Zhan smiled slightly, "If it's a special storage ring, it might work, but yours..."
Luo Chen looked down at the black ring on his finger.
The Thunder Ring was obtained from the ruins of the great Bai Ye.
Its material itself is not very special, it is just a storage item for Lei Ying. It has been upgraded to the level of a magic weapon because of the evolution of time.
To say that it has any special effect of concealing breath and shielding induction is really flattering it.
After a moment of silence, he said directly: "How to do it?"
"Give me the token."
Luo Chen handed over the Blood Nightmare Token without hesitation.
In the soul flag, wisps of black air flew out and entangled on the Blood Nightmare Token for several weeks with a special trajectory.
Gradually, the blood color disappeared.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "Is it that simple?"
Han Zhan smiled slightly, "With my spiritual attainments, ordinary Yuanying cultivators will definitely not be able to track the mark of this token. Of course, if you feel uneasy, you can also take some protective measures."
"Oh, senior, teach me!" Luo Chen humbly asked for advice.
"It's very simple. Aren't you very good at the Hidden Formation? Just use your spiritual consciousness to engrave the formation and attach it to this ring. If you feel it's not appropriate, then engrave a few more layers of formations." Han Zhan paused and said with a slightly surprised tone: "I have never seen a person who can practice the ordinary formation of the Hidden Formation to your level. If you perform it yourself, and with my methods superimposed, I'm sure that the owner of the Blood Nightmare Order, Blood Nightmare Demon Luo, will definitely not be able to find you if he comes to look for you personally."
Having said this, Luo Chen has no objection.
It's just engraving the formation with spiritual consciousness!
Over the years, he has opened many storage bags and is already familiar with this process.
Compared to the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building period, the spiritual consciousness transformed from the golden elixir period is more powerful.
In just a few breaths, Luo Chen carved the five-layer hidden formation on his storage ring.
Looking at it carefully at this moment, even he felt that he was subconsciously ignoring this storage ring.
"This is not bad. Most Jindan monks still use storage bags. If you can keep a low profile, you should try to be as low-key as possible."
Luo Chen smiled in his heart and put the Blood Nightmare Token given to him by Wu Qi into his storage bag.
After doing all this, he walked out onto the deck.
Looking at the sea and sky, the boundless blue sea, my mood can't help but become broad and calm.
The consciousness moved slightly.
"return!"
After the sound transmission was sent out, soon there was an undercurrent surging under the sea.
Immediately!
"Roar!"
Under the sun, a giant black-scaled python rose into the air from the sea, making countless splashes.
There is a short sharp horn on the top of the giant python's head.
It was the third-order black-scaled dragon from the Jiaolong Gang.
After Luo Chen got it, he spent a lot of effort to completely enslave it with the "Book of Beasts".
For this reason, the black scale dragon's vitality was severely damaged.
Some time ago, looking at the five blue-ringed giant-toothed sea snakes, everyone was salivating, trying to swallow them to supplement their nutrition.
Now back in the sea, this black-scaled dragon is as comfortable as a fish in water.
Not only are they piloting and alert in front, but they are also catching fish, shrimps, and crabs to regain their strength.
"According to the instructions on the chart, at the speed of the monster hunting ship, it will take at least a month to reach the black rock sea. This month should allow it to return to its peak condition!"
Luo Chen estimated the time and calculated the progress of the black scale dragon's recovery.
The black scale dragon in its complete state has the strength of the early stage of the third level. It has little chance of winning against the human golden elixir, but it still has an overwhelming advantage over the low-level monsters.
Having such a monster to help will undoubtedly play a big role in the next action.
Kunjiao's legacy is not limited to this monster.
There was quite a small fortune in his storage bag.
There are over 200,000 spiritual stones alone, which is considered a wealthy person among the foundation-building monks.
There are not many types of other materials.
But the value is also very high.
The reason is that the rest of the materials are basically auxiliary resources to prepare for elixir formation.
Luo Chen doesn't need it, but whether it's traded or given to people below, it's very good.
"Master, what are your orders?"
The black-scaled dragon lay on the deck and asked in a rough voice.
Luo Chen shook his head and threw out a handful of spirit feeding pills.
"Continue to patrol the area. If you encounter a powerful monster, remember to warn it."
The black-scaled dragon opened its mouth and sucked it in, and a large handful of spirit-feeding pills fell into its mouth.
He swallowed twice with satisfaction before returning to the sea respectfully.
When he went down, the nearby blue-ringed giant-tusked sea snakes were trembling and deliberately stayed away from him.
The monster race has clear boundaries and strict hierarchies, even more so than the human race!
…
One month later.
A scarred monster hunting ship docked outside a sea area lined with rocks.
Luo Chen raised his eyes and looked into the distance, with a somewhat vigilant look in his eyes.
The old man next to him said cautiously: "In the black rock sea area, crab monsters are everywhere. There are countless types of monster crabs, especially the five royal monster crabs. They are the king crab, the blue emperor crab, the red rock crab, the devil spider crab, and the nine-clawed poison crab. King crab..."
"In addition to the demon crab race, there are also many other demon races that thrive here."
"And those who can still live peacefully in an environment where monster crabs hug together in groups are definitely not weak. Ring-headed turtles, sea king squids, hidden dust sand... and so on."
"Master, you must pay attention to safety and don't be careless!"
The speaker was Cheng Ji, the old man in the foundation building stage who was rescued by Luo Chen when he first arrived in Beihai.
This man is an experienced navigator who is also proficient in many skills such as helming and treasure appraisal. He is a rare top talent in the Cheng family.
If Luo Chen didn't need it, he wouldn't have traveled such a long way to send Luo Chen here in person.
At this moment, even though Luo Chen had learned a lot of the information Cheng Ji was talking about from books, he still patiently listened to the other person's explanation.
Needless to say, I actually learned some unknown new information from the other party.
For example, ancient books record that there used to be seven royal clans of monster crabs in the Xuanyan Sea.
Now, there are only five royal demon crabs left.
This allowed Luo Chen to make more adequate preparations.
After carefully listening to the old man's instructions, Luo Chen withdrew his hesitant gaze.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Ji waved his hand quickly, "I can't believe that the master is so polite, it's embarrassing for this junior."
Luo Chen smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.
Suddenly, five huge figures appeared on the sea surface, with white bodies, blue rings, and huge fangs. They were the five blue-ringed giant-tusked sea snakes that were comparable to those in the Foundation Establishment stage.
"The journey back home will be long and unpredictable. These five monsters will be your guards!"
Cheng Ji hesitated for a moment, but finally refused.
Thinking about it, he also knew very well how dangerous it was for him, a foundation-building monk, to rush back so far away.
If there are five second-level sea snakes to guard him, with his rich experience, the chance of survival will undoubtedly be much greater.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Well, you can go back!"
Luo Chen waved his hand, and after Cheng Ji drove the monster hunting boat away gradually, he stared confidently at the strange sea in front of him.
The basalt sea area has complex terrain, numerous reefs, and thousands of islands.
Inside, there are many monster crabs and luxuriant water plants.
Idle monks are not allowed to enter lightly!
Even if you are a golden elixir stage monk, it is best not to stay too long.
Obviously, Luo Chen came all the way here, and it was not as simple as just doing one thing and leaving.
With a thought in his mind, a thirty-foot-long black-scaled dragon swam over.
Luo Chen frowned, "Shrink in size!"
The black-scaled dragon glanced at Luo Chen aggrievedly, and then had to shrink its size until it was two feet in size, which was already its limit.
Monsters regard bigness as their respect and length as their beauty.
If he shrunk so small and didn't take the initiative to emit the third-level aura, there might be blind shrimps, soldiers and crabs swarming up to eat him as he swam.
"You, lead the way. If you encounter enemies, don't act without permission. Follow my instructions for all actions."
The black-scaled dragon hissed and quietly slipped into the water.
Luo Chen, on the other hand, performed a spiritual secret, and wisps of black lines appeared all over his body, and then disappeared under the skin.
It is the Hidden Formation engraved on the body that is fully activated.
Not only that, he closed and opened his eyes, and his spiritual light bloomed.
A pair of spiritual eyes, overlooking a thousand miles around.
"Let's go!"
Luo Chen jumped up and turned into a misty light, floating in the sky.
While flying, look around.
As early as when the spiritual eye technique was perfected, it had the effect of peering into the ground to search for spiritual veins. When operating at full strength, one could even detect signs of the flow of life and death.
Now that he has opened his spiritual eyes again, Luo Chen is looking for a suitable place to stay.
After flying for about half a stick of incense, Luo Chen paused and sent out a sound transmission.
He directed the black scale dragon to swim towards a large island in the distance.
He could clearly see that there were surging spiritual energy fluctuations on the island.
Without the restriction of formations, they all have a level close to the third level of high-grade, which is definitely a natural geomantic treasure.
However, just when the black-scaled dragon was about to swim ashore, Luo Chen quickly stopped it.
"Retreat quickly!"
He himself did not hesitate and left in a different direction.
This time it was abnormal, and it was because there were several tyrannical auras exuding on the island just now.
When it comes to realm, he is still above Luo Chen himself.
There was even a disgusting stench coming out from time to time.
Luo Chen didn't relax until he was thousands of miles away.
"I was a bit unlucky. I almost broke into the Nine-clawed Poison King Crab's lair when I first arrived."
Crabs usually have eight claws, but the Nine-clawed Poison King Crab is an ancient alien species. It is said that it is the offspring of a poisonous dragon and a blue emperor crab. It is very poisonous and overbearing. Even the Yuanying monks are not willing to touch it personally. .
Luo Chen didn't even want to meet him.
This thing is not within his hunting target range.
"Let's change it to another one!"
…
Time passes slowly.
The stars move, the sun and the moon change.
A full half a month later, one person and one dragon landed on a seemingly ordinary island.
As soon as he landed on the island, Luo Chen planted the Ten Thousand Souls Flag on the ground without saying a word.
"Senior, please hold on to the battle."
Inside the banner, Han Zhan joked: "It's just an early stage third-level Tianxuan fighting gull. Is it necessary to make such a fuss?"
Luo Chen looked solemn, not feeling at all that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Tianxuan fighting gull is a famous feathered monster in the North Sea.
He has a violent temperament, loves to fight, and is extremely fast.
Being able to have a small island inhabiting the basaltic sea area where demon crabs are rampant means that it is certainly not weak in itself.
No matter how careful you are, you can never be too careful.
Moreover, Luo Chen didn't want to make the news bigger.
He enters the village quietly and doesn't want to shoot, but he will stay in this place for several years.
"Black Scale, go seduce that fighting gull, don't let it run away."
The black-scaled dragon glanced at Luo Chen aggrievedly. Doesn't the master know that the natural enemy of the black-scaled dragon is the Tianxuan fighting gull?
But under the enslavement of the "Book of Beasts", it had no choice but to go out and do the seduction thing.
In fact, it doesn't even need to be seduced.
When it showed its huge size and climbed up and down the bush-lined island, there was a sharp bird call.
Then, a large green bird with wings spread out over ten feet in size flew up from the bushes, and then swooped down.
A pair of sharp claws, spread out like steel.
The black-scaled dragon coiled into a circle as if facing a formidable enemy, its scales stood upright, and its tongue was hissing and sputtering.
Not only that, the horn on its head emits a rich black light, trying to scare away enemies.
The fighting gulls didn't take this trick and flew happily around the black-scaled dragon.
From time to time, the wings fluttered and shot out a series of wind blades.
Judging from its posture, it seems that it wants to consume the black scale dragon and achieve great success in one fell swoop.
Just when the two were attacking and defending, and still testing each other, the black-scaled dragon suddenly revealed a flaw.
The huge body like a hill suddenly spread out.
When Tian Xuan Dou Dou saw this, his face showed a humane look of joy.
The wings suddenly expanded, and a huge cyclone suddenly appeared on the island, sucking the black scale dragon into it.
Not only that, it jumped down and directly grabbed the black-scaled dragon's thick body with its claws.
The black-scaled dragon turned and bit him.
Tianxuan Doudou opened his mouth and pecked.
A dragon and a gull appeared on the beach, and blood suddenly appeared.
It was at this time.
Suddenly there was a sharp whistle in the air.
Tianxuan Douou suddenly turned around and saw a sword light coming through the sky.
With his eyes glaring, he ignored the giant dragon beneath him and suddenly closed his wings.
Buzz…
A vortex of wind suddenly appeared in the void, and it deviated from the direction of the big sword's attack.
Before it could breathe a sigh of relief, a blast of explosion sounded in the surrounding void.
Instantly, a figure appeared out of thin air and came to its head.
Reach out and grab!
Tianxuan Douou tried to resist, but the black-scaled dragon's tail rolled back and tightly wrapped around its body, preventing it from getting away.
The monster was anxious.
Two huge wings burst out with clusters of wind blades and rushed towards the big hand that grabbed it.
The owner of the big hand ignored it, and his thick right hand grabbed down like a divine roc crossing the sea of clouds, and directly grabbed Tianxuan Douou's neck.
"Submit, or die!"
The cold words were heard by Douou.
It trembled all over, and then it was furious.
Just as it was about to resist, its eyes met the man's eyes, and its will was weakened.
"I..."
...
When night fell, Luo Chen sat cross-legged on Tianxuan Island.
The sleeve of his right hand was ragged and bloodstained. It was injured by the wind blade of Tianxuan Douou when he was performing the Great Perfection of the Cloud-Exploring Divine Claw.
This beast is worthy of its name of being aggressive. In such a desperate situation, it also has the strength to fight back desperately.
It even hurt Luo Chen's unparalleled strong physique.
But such a risky attack also has rich rewards.
In the sky, a blue divine bird was circling.
From time to time, it looked down at the man on the island, with a contradictory emotion of resentment and helplessness in its eyes.
After all, it surrendered to Luo Chen and was marked with the Soul Seal, and its soul was controlled by Luo Chen.
Unless it was promoted to the fourth level in a short period of time, it would not be able to resist Luo Chen's orders.
"Is a third-level early Douou worth such a big effort?" Han Zhan asked in the soul flag.
Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, with a faint look of fatigue.
After enslaving two third-level monsters, the Black Scaled Dragon and the Tianxuan Fighting Owl, at the same time, he felt a burden.
It was a burden on his soul.
I don’t know if it was because his soul was not deep enough, or the enslavement technique of the Ten Thousand Beasts was too low.
Rubbing his eyebrows, he said seriously: "If this bird disappears, it will easily attract the investigation of some monsters in the Xuanyan Sea, which will alert the enemy. Moreover, with such a monster cooperating with the Black Scaled Dragon, I will have eyes and ears in the sea and in the air. After that, whether I fight or retreat, I have enough room for maneuver."
After listening to this explanation, Han Zhan was a little silent.
He knew very well that this was not planned by Luo Chen. It must be a hasty decision after he found the small third-level spiritual vein on Tianxuan Island and saw the Tianxuan Fighting Owl.
But no matter how hasty this decision was, it was undoubtedly perfect.
But he really managed to capture a flying third-level monster alive!
Recalling the sudden attack at that time, whether it was the short-distance burst acceleration or the unstoppable claw that broke through the air...
"I understand why you are so persistent in refining the Black Emperor Paste. You really intend to go further and further in the path of body refining!"
Luo Chen smiled casually and did not explain anything.
When his realm was low, he was limited by resources and life span, so he did not dare to practice too much at the same time.
But now he has reached the Golden Core Stage, and the current cultivation speed can completely reach the Golden Core Stage Great Perfection within the life span.
The extra time, of course, cannot be wasted.
The path of body refining can be picked up!
The most important thing is that after many years of practice, his "Ten Thousand Daos Convergence" is about to be perfected. With the help of the Black Emperor Paste, he will definitely be able to improve his physical realm in a short time.
In this way, he will master the ultimate killer move beyond the Golden Core Stage again under conventional means!
Luo Chen is not a fool and will not do useless work.
Standing up from the ground, he patted the gravel on his butt.
Luo Chen looked around and finally his eyes fell on the depths of the ground.
"Let's build a temporary cave first!"
