Chapter 153: Gold-eating insects and baby carp beasts
This person Wu Chou, his current cultivation level should be in the middle stage of Jindan, but it is possible that the Ji Yin Ancestor is possessed by him.
"However, even if he possesses me, he is at best a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. His combat power will not be too strong. He will probably not be able to defeat the Xuan Gu old demon after he possesses me!"
"When Han Li was in the early stage of Jindan, he was able to fight against the old demon Xuan Gu. Now I have a much better configuration than him. There is no reason why I can't defeat Wu Chou who is possessed by the old demon Ji Yin!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He had already made preparations for hunting the baby carp beast.
The blood, flesh and blood essence and inner elixir of the infant carp beast, a sixth-level monster, can be used to refine the Blood Spirit Pill to help him practice the Nine Apertures Star Yuan Gong.
He will not let this go.
In this inner star sea, it is quite difficult to see a level six monster, so the baby carp beast cannot be missed.
In addition, Ye Changsheng also aimed at the storage bags of the two elders of Liulian Hall.
Dust-reducing Pill, a pill that can increase the chance of forming a pill. Although he cannot use it, Senior Sister Chen, Xin Ruyin and others can use it.
Moreover, if you copy a bunch of them in the future and sell them, you can make a lot of money.
Of course, what is more important is the information about the Nine Heavens Purple Jade. This is what Ye Changsheng cares about most at the moment.
So many precious materials are needed, and he is looking forward to seeing how powerful his natal magic weapon will be after it is refined in the future.
"From the original story, the two elders of the Sixth Palace had no idea Wu Chou was coming. They were forced to reveal their identities. In this way, we don't have to worry about them setting up a trap or anything like that!"
"But just in case, we should set up a formation when the time comes. Maybe it will come in handy!"
After careful consideration, Ye Changsheng returned to his shop on Tiandu Street.
In Ziyuxuan, Yuanyao and Yanli were waiting here respectfully.
After Ye Changsheng came in, he put away the furnace he usually used to refine weapons, turned around and said to the two girls, "You guys wait in this shop for a while. I have something to deal with. I'll come back to you after I'm done!"
"Yes, senior!" Yuan Yao and Yanli said respectfully, their beautiful eyes falling on Ye Changsheng, flashing with curiosity.
After walking out of Ziyuxuan, Ye Changsheng flew towards Xiaohuan Island.
Over the past year, he only occasionally returned to Xiaohuan Island and spent most of his time in Tiandu Street.
During the time he was away, Senior Sister Chen and Xin Ruyin were both working hard to cultivate in order to reach a higher level.
Senior Sister Chen was already a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building before coming to the Chaos Star Sea. After all these years of practice, she is about to enter the late stage of foundation building.
Xin Ruyin had just reached the middle stage of foundation building.
The two women have made considerable progress in their cultivation.
Even the maid Xiaomei followed suit and was promoted to a higher level. After receiving the foundation-building pill, she entered the foundation-building stage.
After entering the cave, Ye Changsheng saw Xiaomei who had just walked out of the insect room.
"Has there been any abnormalities in the insect room during the time I was away?" Ye Changsheng asked.
On weekdays, he always let Xiaomei be responsible for feeding the group of black-striped ants.
"Son-in-law, you are finally here!" Xiaomei's face showed surprise when she saw Ye Changsheng.
"Recently, for some reason, these black-striped ants have been very anxious. They don't eat insect food at all and dare not approach the ground. They all lie on the top of the insect room!"
"They have been anxiously trying to fly out of the insect room. If you hadn't taught me some insect-controlling techniques, I'm afraid all the black-striped ants would have run away!"
As soon as she saw Ye Changsheng, Xiaomei immediately told him about the changes that had taken place in the black-striped ants in recent times.
"Oh? Is this true?" Ye Changsheng said, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"I'll go check it out!"
When I walked into the insect room, I saw that the group of black ants were all lying on the ceiling and did not dare to get close to the ground.
Ye Changsheng's spiritual sense spread out, and from the information conveyed to him by these black-striped ants, they seemed to sense that something terrible had appeared underground.
They felt their lives were in danger and desperately wanted to escape from here.
Ye Changsheng's spiritual sense explored downwards along the cracks in the ground. After going hundreds of feet underground, his spiritual sense discovered some insects covered in silver.
These insects were crawling upwards, but when he appeared, they seemed to sense a breath from him and stopped, not daring to move.
"It's indeed a gold-eating bug!" Ye Changsheng's face showed joy.
This group of silvery bugs must be gold-eating bugs without a doubt.
"It must be the aura of the blood jade spider on my body that frightened these insects. The blood jade spider is the natural enemy of the gold-eating insects. After sensing their aura, the gold-eating insects dare not come up!"
Ye Changsheng thought for a moment, then immediately closed the door of the insect room and made a few hand gestures to open the restrictions outside the insect room.
Then, he said to Xiaomei: "Don't open this door again before I come back, and don't care about what happens inside!"
Although Xiaomei felt strange about the order, she immediately agreed.
"How are Ruyin and Qiaoqian now?" Ye Changsheng asked again.
"Miss and Sister Chen are both practicing now and have been in seclusion for a long time!"
"Well, then don't disturb them!" Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng turned around and left the cave.
"I'll be out for a while and I'll be back later!"
Seeing his leaving figure, Xiaomei stamped her feet and said angrily, "Are you going to look for those two vixens from Tiandu Street again?"
"I don't know what the young ladies were thinking, letting my son-in-law openly interact with those two vixens!"
Xiaomei pouted, sounding quite indignant.
Ye Changsheng had been in Tiandu Street for more than a year. Although the three of them didn't go out very often, they knew that Ye Changsheng had opened Ziyuxuan.
Naturally, I also knew about Yuan Yao and Yan Li who were working as waiters there.
After knowing this, Senior Sister Chen and Xin Ruyin just remained silent, but Xiaomei seemed to be speaking up for them.
"Humph, I thought you were a loyal and gentle man, but I didn't expect you to be so fickle! Miss, you've made a lifelong mistake at first sight!"
"If you continue to let your son-in-law do this, my cave will probably get bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more women living here. What should we do in the future?"
Thinking of this, Xiaomei's face showed distress.
Before, when there were only the young lady and Miss Chen, the son-in-law was already so absurd.
If those two women were added to the mix, making a total of four people, she couldn't even imagine how ridiculous that would be.
"I am the only one suffering in this cave!" Xiaomei thought speechlessly with a sad face.
…
Three days later, Ye Changsheng met Elder Gu in Yuhuanju, and he was accompanied by an old man with a pale golden complexion.
After seeing this person, Ye Changsheng's heart moved slightly. He felt the same aura from this person.
This person also practices gold-attributed techniques, which is relatively rare in the world of immortal cultivation.
Among the five elements, those who practice gold-attributed techniques are mostly sword cultivators, and the top techniques in the gold-attributed field are mostly sword cultivators.
In the world of cultivating immortals, top-notch sword-cultivation techniques are very rare, which leads to fewer people practicing this kind of technique.
It is far inferior to the other four elements.
In fact, the metal element is also a special one among the five elements.
As for the other four attributes, their escape techniques are not very difficult to practice. Most Jindan cultivators can master wood escape, earth escape, water escape, etc. as long as they spend a little time.
As for the Golden Escape, there are basically few people in this world who can master it.
Not to mention in the human world, even in the spiritual world, it is rare to see cultivators who can perform the Golden Escape Technique.
Once one can master this escape technique, it means that this cultivator has reached a very high level among his peers in terms of fighting and escaping.
"Brother Ye, this is Elder Miao. Like me, he is also a guest elder of the Liulian Palace!" Elder Gu, with disheveled hair, pointed at the old man with a pale golden complexion and introduced him to Ye Changsheng.
"Miao greets Brother Ye. Thank you for your willingness to help our Sixth Palace!" Elder Miao said with a bow.
"I'm just taking money from people and helping them get rid of their misfortunes. Brother Miao is too polite!"
Ye Changsheng's words made Elder Miao smile faintly, and he didn't say much.
"Haha, Brother Ye is here, so we can set off too!" Elder Gu said with a laugh.
"Walk!"
The three of them walked out of Yuhuanju, and under the leadership of two elders from the Liulian Hall, Ye Changsheng and they came to a large ship at the port.
In the cabin, in a luxurious hall that was more than ten feet long and wide, Ye Changsheng and three other Jindan cultivators appeared here.
There were already several people waiting for them here. Ye Changsheng swept his spiritual sense and found that these people were all fake alchemy cultivators.
"This is Feng Sanniang, who is in charge of the Six Escapes Water Wave Formation!" Elder Gu said, pointing at a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties.
"My name is Feng Sanniang, nice to meet you, Senior Ye!" Feng Sanniang stepped forward respectfully and bowed.
When the other people in the hall saw the three Jindan cultivators appear here, their faces changed.
The original expressions, whether indifferent, arrogant, or disdainful, at this moment turned into respectful and cautious.
"These two are the disciples of Senior Zhan Tai from Weixing Island..."
Feng Sanniang began to introduce the remaining fake elixir cultivators. Ye Changsheng glanced around and took in the appearance of these people.
A middle-aged scholar with ordinary appearance, a charming young woman in her twenties, an old man with gray eyes...
After a few glances, he stopped paying attention.
They are all dying!
"Brother Ye, we can just wait on this ship for the next few days!"
After meeting the people who presided over the Six Escapes Water Wave Formation, Elder Gu pulled Ye Changsheng into a good room on the top of the cabin and arranged him in.
The ship stopped and went for a month before finally stopping beside an unnamed deserted island more than ten miles in size.
Elder Gu knocked on Ye Changsheng's door and said with a smile: "Brother Ye can wait for a while, or go to the island to take a look. We will make some preparations here and notify Brother Ye when we are ready to take action!"
Ye Changsheng nodded: "Brother Gu, just take care of your own business, don't worry about me, I will definitely take action when it's time!"
Elder Gu seemed to be in a hurry. He said goodbye to Ye Changsheng immediately and flew to the sea near the deserted island to set up the Six Escape Water Wave Formation.
The other Elder Miao flew to the deep ocean outside the deserted island to look for the baby carp beast.
The plan of Liulian Palace was to lure the baby carp beast to the nearby sea, trap it with the help of the Six Escapes Water Wave Array, and then have the three Jindan cultivators take action to kill it.
Because the strength of this infant carp beast is comparable to that of a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, the Liulian Palace was extremely careful in its preparations.
We must kill the monster with one strike and not let it escape.
In fact, the best plan is to lure the baby carp beast to the deserted island. Without the sea water, the baby carp beast's strength will not be much different from that of an ordinary level six monster.
But unfortunately, this monster is very alert, and it is almost impossible to lure it onto land.
The ship stopped at the edge of the land, and the six fake Dan monks, under the leadership of Feng Sanniang, continued to familiarize themselves with the method of operating the Six Escapes Water Wave Array.
Ye Changsheng went deep into the deserted island and worked for a while, laying down a formation.
Then he flew into the sky and looked towards the sea in the distance.
In the distance, an extremely powerful demonic aura rose in the sea, which was stronger than any demon beast Ye Changsheng had ever seen before.
"It should be the baby carp beast!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
His spiritual sense spread out quickly and soon he discovered a white mist, in which was a strange-looking monster.
The face looks like a baby, with a blue carp tail, four white and tender human hands, and two huge fish fins like wings.
The most peculiar thing is that its four hands are holding four different objects.
A huge red crab claw, a blue coral several feet long, a white bead the size of an egg, and a silver clam shell that looks like a shield.
At this time, Elder Gu of the Liulian Palace was facing the baby carp beast alone, constantly attacking it, and then quickly fleeing towards the deserted island.
He definitely couldn't defeat the monster alone, but he fought and fled at the same time, and soon lured the monster over.
A sharp sound like a baby crying was heard, the baby carp beast was shrouded in white mist, and thunder-like sounds began to be heard from its body.
After hearing this thunderous sound, Elder Gu, who was entangled with the baby carp beast, suddenly changed his expression and immediately increased his pace.
"Brother Gu, let me help you!"
At this time, Elder Miao also arranged the formation and quickly rushed over there to help Elder Gu lure the enemy deeper.
At the same time, he also sent a message to Ye Changsheng: "Brother Ye, the time is almost right. You can hide behind the formation first, don't let this baby carp beast find your trace. After we lure it over, we can attack together!"
"Brother Miao, don't worry, I know what to do!"
As Ye Changsheng spoke, he flew towards the sea area where the formation was set up.
A hundred miles away, Elder Gu and Elder Miao gathered together. The crying of the baby carp beast became sharper and sharper, and gradually approached this side.
In the sea, the fake elixir cultivator who presided over the Six Escapes Water Wave Formation was already in place. They looked nervously at the vast water waves in the distance, waiting for the baby carp beast to appear.
Not long after, a golden light and a yellow light appeared in everyone's sight, and they were flying towards this side at a high speed.
Behind me, a ball of white mist was chasing closely, drawing a long white wave on the sea, with no end in sight.
"Everyone be careful, the baby carp beast is coming soon. Once this monster enters the formation, block the formation gate immediately!" Below, Feng Sanniang, who was in charge of the formation, immediately said to the other fake elixir monks.
After a moment, the rumbling sound of thunder became louder and louder. In the blink of an eye, the two elders Miao and Gu flew over the formation at an extremely fast speed and continued to fly away into the distance without any intention of stopping.
The white mist behind him did not notice anything wrong and immediately chased after him. As a result, a blue light shot up into the sky above the sea, and a huge blue light shield appeared out of thin air, covering the baby carp beast.
Elders Miao and Gu, who had just rushed over, saw this scene and immediately turned around and flew over. At the same time, Ye Changsheng also appeared from the air, and three Jindan cultivators flew towards the formation.
"Good, well done. Next we must withstand the counterattack of this beast and wait for the three of us to take down this beast!" Elder Miao said to the fake Dan monks below with a happy look on his face.
At this time, the baby carp beast trapped in the light shield seemed to understand its situation and roared wildly.
The white mist that was over a hundred feet thick suddenly shrank towards the middle and became a dozen feet in size.
At the same time, earth-shaking thunder rumbled, growing louder and louder, like thousands of horses galloping.
Not long after, the sharp crying stopped abruptly, and countless fist-sized blue light balls flew out from the white mist and hit the blue light shield densely.
The momentum is extremely fierce!
"This is the Water Thunder, one of the three deadly moves of the Infant Carp Beast. Even we, the Jindan cultivators, would not dare to resist it even with defensive magic weapons!" Elder Gu, who was beside Ye Changsheng, said with some fear.
Before, when he was struggling with this baby carp beast, he was almost hit by the beast's water divine thunder.
Under the bombardment of the Water Gang Divine Thunder, the Six Escapes Water Wave Array actually began to shake, as if it was about to be broken.
The faces of several fake elixir monks below changed drastically, and they spurted out blood and essence, increasing the input of mana, barely maintaining the formation.
But judging from the situation, if this continues, this formation will soon be broken by the Water Gang Divine Thunder.
In the sky, the two Miao and Gu elders' expressions changed when they saw this scene, and they quickly said to Ye Changsheng:
"Brother Ye, you go first and help these people stabilize the formation, so as to avoid being broken by the infant carp beast. The two of us are going to use a borrowed treasure to capture this beast!"
As they spoke, the two of them each took out a pair of ancient bronze spears from their arms, which looked like a pair of magic weapons.
"A pair of ancient treasures!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself after taking a look. He narrowed his eyes and flew towards the formation below.
Ye Changsheng reached into his storage bag and took out a black awl, then threw it at the baby carp beast.
This was a magic weapon obtained after killing the Jindan cultivator from the Yuling Sect.
He had never practiced this magic weapon before, so he could only use it with difficulty.
Ye Changsheng had no intention of exerting his full strength at the moment, so he did not take out any of the two ancient treasures in his hand.
Totally just slacking off!
The cone turned into a black light and rushed towards the baby carp beast trapped in the formation at an incredibly fast speed.
The beast also sensed the danger and immediately opened its mouth and spurted out a stream of water to block the black cone.
But at the same time, the number of water-powered divine thunders it emitted suddenly decreased a lot.
As a result, the Six Escapes Water Wave Formation stabilized at once and stopped shaking. The fake elixir cultivators who were in charge of the formation below immediately looked at Ye Changsheng with gratitude and admiration.
If it weren't for Ye Changsheng's support, the formation would have been broken, and they would have been the first to face the attack of the baby carp beast.
The black cone was in a stalemate with the water column, and the baby carp beast puffed up its cheeks and let out an extremely sharp cry.
In an instant, the water column suddenly became thicker, almost twice its original size, and the impact force doubled.
The black cone was pushed back, but then it immediately pushed up again.
There was a strange look in Ye Changsheng's eyes. The evaluation that this infant carp beast was comparable to a seventh-level monster in the water was not just a casual remark.
A man and a beast were competing in magic power here. No matter how the baby carp beast increased its magic power output, the black cone always condensed a black light and did not retreat at all.
Ye Changsheng's move immediately reduced the pressure on the six people who were in charge of the formation, and the main battlefield became him and the baby carp beast.
As for the other six people, they only need to maintain the formation easily.
At the same time, in the sky, the two Miao and Gu elders were muttering to themselves, as if they were reciting some spell.
The pair of bronze spears in their hands floated up, emitting a pale yellow fluorescence that became brighter and brighter.
As the solemn and mysterious incantation grew louder and louder, the two long spears emitting yellow light grew larger inch by inch, with the tips pointing downwards, aiming at the baby carp beast.
As if sensing the impending danger, the baby carp beast became crazy. The white mist all over its body began to spin rapidly, forming a vortex. In the vortex, there was a blue light.
Obviously, the beast was planning a fatal attack.
Seeing this scene, Feng Sanniang and others' faces changed drastically, and even a few fake Dan cultivators took a step back, with a look of retreat in their eyes.
If such a powerful attack were to come towards them, the formation would probably be broken in an instant.
Just as he was frightened, suddenly, a loud shout came from above his head: "Demon, die quickly!"
Elder Miao and Elder Gu were sweating profusely and their faces were pale. They stretched out their hands and waved them downward fiercely. In an instant, two huge yellow lights shot down.
Like thunder and lightning, it plunged into the raging wind and huge waves. The baby's cry suddenly became shrill. The white mist expanded and contracted violently several times, and then, the wind was calm.
The white mist dissipated, and the figure of the baby carp beast emerged from it. The two bronze spears that had returned to their original shape flashed yellow light and nailed them crosswise on the sea surface.
The two elders of Liulian Palace looked exhausted. It was obvious that using this ancient treasure consumed a huge amount of their mana.
The mana required to obtain the ancient treasure is indeed a huge burden for cultivators in the early stages of Jindan.
Judging from the looks of these two elders, if they were to continue using this ancient treasure, they would probably not be able to use it many times.
When the baby carp beast was trapped, the two elders of the Liulian Palace looked delighted and rushed down quickly.
He wanted to give the infant carp beast a final blow and then take out its demon pill.
However, unexpectedly, suddenly, a dark wind blew up from the sea water below the baby carp beast. This wind instantly condensed the sea surface for hundreds of feet and the baby carp beast into a white ice sculpture.
Moreover, this cold wind did not dare to stop, sweeping up and rushing towards Ye Changsheng and others.
