Chapter 544: Black Emperor Cream Body Tempering, Level 3 Overlord Crab
Tianxuan Island is the name Luo Chen gave to this nameless island, which originated from Tianxuan Dougu.
This little thing is not worth mentioning. What is worthy of Luo Chen's attention is the spiritual vein deep in this island.
Although it is small, its quality is quite good, barely entering the third level.
It is no wonder that Tianxuan Dougu would settle down in this Xuanyan Sea regardless of danger.
Deep underground, the Xuanhuo Sword burst out sword energy and kept cutting.
After a half day of hard work, an underground cave that was two feet high and several feet long and wide was formed.
Looking at this simple and rough cave, Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction.
However, if you want to live here for a long time, this is not enough.
The light on the fingertips flowed, and small flags flew out of the storage ring and shot to every corner of the cave.
Finally, Luo Chen turned his wrist, and a compass appeared in his hand.
Looking left and right, Luo Chen finally came to the middle of the cave.
"The earth's qi flows, with this as the center."
"The gathering spirit formation should be set up here."
With a slight smile, the compass slowly penetrated deep into the ground.
At this moment, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
Luo Chen played out more than a dozen medium-grade spirit stones, embedded them in the bottom of those small flags, pinched several spirit spells with both hands, and shouted in a low voice.
"Rise!"
In an instant, layers of spiritual light bloomed in the cave, colorful and gorgeous.
As Luo Chen played out the last spirit spell, under the control of the formation, those gorgeous spiritual lights slowly disappeared. On Tianxuan Island, wisps of white mist quietly emerged.
Because it was early in the morning, the sea mist and water vapor were everywhere, so this white mist was not very eye-catching.
When the sun rises, these white mists will gradually fade, leaving only one or two strands.
Han Zhan in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner watched this scene silently, and felt shocked again in his heart.
"Are there really geniuses in this world?"
"Let's not talk about alchemy. These formations seem basic, but each one in Luo Chen's hands can always show a different kind of power!"
No wonder he was so shocked.
The spirit gathering formation is also a general formation that is not divided into grades. The specific grade has always been derived from the materials used to set up the formation.
The better the material, the more spirit stones you are willing to spend, and the more spiritual energy you can gather.
In his opinion, Luo Chen's casually arranged spirit gathering formation is even more ingenious and exquisite than himself.
Not only can it gather more spiritual energy internally, but it can also change with the local environment externally without showing any abnormality.
In Han Zhan's opinion, with Luo Chen's talent in the art of formation, as long as he is willing to spend time, he estimates that there will be nothing to teach him in ten years at most.
In the soul flag, Han Zhan's residual soul used the three-inch little man condensed by ghost energy to shake his head helplessly.
It's a pity for such a great talent to be a casual cultivator.
If he were in the sect, whether it was alchemy or formation, he would have great hope of becoming a master of the generation, and could help a sect grow and prosper!
Luo Chen didn't know the psychological activities of his companions.
He felt the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave slightly, and it was still the third-grade lower grade, but it was only one step away from the third-grade middle grade.
If he was willing to exchange the middle-grade spiritual stones for the upper-grade spiritual stones, he could break this boundary.
But obviously, there was no need.
He himself didn't have many middle-grade spiritual stones. Before leaving, he counted his current assets. There were 35 upper-grade spiritual stones, 2,000 middle-grade spiritual stones, and very few lower-grade spiritual stones.
In total, it was only about 500,000 yuan.
It can be said that this was the poorest period for Luo Chen.
There was no way!
When he opened up the war before, he spent a lot of his savings to cultivate the Snow Wolf Ping spiritual land he had conquered.
After coming to the North Sea, he basically only spent money and didn't get any money.
This spiritual stone, one less piece is used.
"I wonder if the spiritual land of our Luotian Sect can be preserved after the battle of Tianguyuan?"
Luo Chen sighed, and those familiar figures appeared in his mind.
He shook his head and took out things from the storage ring.
Wooden racks, medicinal materials, stone mortars, small mills, guillotines... Finally, the Hunyuan Ding fell to the ground with a clang.
Where the Hunyuan Ding landed, he added a few more fire-proof bricks below, and arranged a simple fire pit according to the methods taught to him by Fei Ming.
In this way, this cave finally had some life.
Coming to a large stone bed that was specially left, Luo Chen took out a quilt and a thin blanket.
"Rest for a night first, and start the formal plan of hunting monsters and collecting materials tomorrow!"
After traveling for a month, searching for a place for half a month, and fighting with a third-level monster bird, his mind was always tense.
Rest first, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, Luo Chen still understands this truth.
…
“Is this the famous Green Emperor Crab?”
On a deserted island, Luo Chen stood on the shore, watching the huge crab that was knocked unconscious by the black-scaled dragon in the shallow sea and dragged up step by step.
It was two feet long, and its whole body was green, as if covered with moss.
It was obviously huge, but for some reason, it gave people a sense of delicate beauty.
In the Wanhun Banner, Han Zhan replied: “There are many species of monster crabs in the world, but only the Green Emperor Crab is famous for its softness. Although with our human aesthetics, I don’t know where it is beautiful.”
Luo Chen smiled slightly, “I don’t know whether it is beautiful or not, but a monster crab of this size is a treasure, and it can’t be wasted.”
Han Zhan was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled.
Indeed, it really can’t be wasted!
Luo Chen took out the Hunyuan Ding, patted the body of the Ding, and suddenly several fiery red chains emerged, tied up the blue emperor crab and pulled it into the space inside the Ding.
After putting away the Hunyuan Ding, looking at the black-scaled dragon lying in the sea with his eyes wide open, he gave an order:
"Continue to capture nearby monster crabs, preferably second-level ones, and first-level ones are barely OK. In terms of species, except for the nine-clawed poisonous king crab, the rest are fine."
"If you encounter a third-level king crab, avoid it if you can. If there is danger, ask for help from Tianxuan."
When he said this, he pointed to the top of his head.
A majestic blue bird was circling around the deserted island.
The black-scaled dragon glanced at the Tianxuan fighting gull and curled its lips.
It would not ask for help from its natural enemy!
The previous battle on the island pecked it hard.
After giving all these orders, Luo Chen hurriedly left the deserted island and quietly returned to Tianxuan Island.
After entering the cave.
Ding!
The Hunyuan Ding fell to the ground, and a spiritual light came out.
Instantly, a big green crab came into view.
Such a contraction and release had awakened it.
At this moment, it was looking blankly at the man and the banner in front of it.
"You go first, or me?"
"You go first, the Black Emperor Cream needs to be refined alive, and I will take the residual soul later."
"Okay, you help cover it up a little, don't let the sound spread out."
This second-level green emperor crab didn't understand what the human was saying, it only knew that something bad might happen.
Sure enough!
The human walked towards it with a stone mortar.
In the other hand, there was a huge brush.
The brush stirred in the stone mortar, covered with white liquid, and then under the control of magic power, began to smear along the shell of the big crab.
It looked like painting a wall.
After a while, the green crab shell was covered with white paint.
At this moment, the Green Emperor Crab felt a tingling sensation.
That feeling was like a pain from the soul.
Its eight crab claws kept shaking on the ground, scratching its back.
Once, twice...
Finally, in extreme madness, it actually took off its shell.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen nodded calmly.
"The flesh and blood fall off, but the spirit remains."
"The Overlord takes off his armor, but there is still power left."
The key points of refining the Black Emperor Cream emerged in his mind one by one.
Luo Chen raised his hand, and the huge shell floated into the Hunyuan Ding.
Glancing at the armorless giant crab howling in pain on the ground, Luo Chen casually said: "The rest, let the senior take it."
Han Zhan did not respond.
But from the soul flag, black air flew out, wrapping the Green Emperor Crab.
Gradually, a complete demon beast soul was pulled out, and in its unwilling howl, it merged into the soul refining banner.
In this way, this soul refining banner has another second-level demon soul.
Given time, it may be possible to reproduce the majesty of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, or even go a step further!
After doing all this, Han Zhan focused his attention on Luo Chen who was refining the elixir.
Unconsciously, Luo Chen had already done most of the action.
A strange smell filled the cave.
When he smelled this smell, Han Zhan couldn't help but sigh.
"You are worthy of being an alchemy master!"
"It was no difficulty to refine the third-level black emperor paste for the first time, and it was done in one go."
The second-level main material was refined into the third-level black emperor paste.
As expected!
When Luo Chen took out a large jar and began to guide the liquid in the Hunyuan Ding to flow out, the wisps of sticky slurry like dough were undoubtedly the black emperor paste that Han Zhan was most familiar with.
Judging from its quality, it is about the lower third grade.
It is also one of the best finished pills of Mu Yunyan, the chief alchemist of Luoyun Sect.
When the Black Emperor Paste was completely collected, Luo Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
He quietly glanced at the attribute panel in his mind.
[Black Emperor Paste Entry Level 12/100]
Entry-level proficiency, it can be successful in the first time, which is indeed a good start.
Next, he can try this paste made by himself to see how much help he can have in tempering his body.
However, before that, there is still a small matter to deal with.
He looked back at the green emperor crab on the ground.
No armor, no soul.
The flesh and blood body that should be full of vitality is now just a walking corpse.
"Demon Pill, can't be wasted."
A demon pill the size of a longan was taken out.
"Blood and flesh..."
Luo Chen sighed. Without the shell and soul, such flesh and blood can't absorb much vitality even if it is refined with the withered true fire.
But it must not be wasted.
So, it can only be eaten!
His eyes finally fell on the eight huge crab claws, especially the two thickest claws.
For a moment, Luo Chen really didn't know how to deal with this thing.
"No matter what, put it away first. Even if you sell it later, it is a high-quality refining material, and some people spend a lot of money to buy it."
In just half a day, this green emperor crab was stripped of bones and skin, sucked of blood and marrow, and used to the extreme.
Even the remaining internal organs, intestines, stomach, gills and heart can be handed over to the black-scaled dragon and Tianxuan Douou later.
The former is not afraid of toxins, but prefers blood and flesh.
The latter especially likes to eat crab hearts. They often catch monster crabs and discard their essence, only eating the crab hearts.
If the king of the Green Emperor Crab clan knew what Luo Chen did, he would be furious and would want to tear Luo Chen apart.
But it was obvious that Luo Chen didn't care.
He only cared about how much the Black Emperor Ointment could increase the effect of body refining.
In the cave that separated the inside and the outside, Luo Chen took off all his clothes.
He used his magic power to apply the black, still warm ointment to all corners of his body, even to the private parts that he usually didn't pay much attention to, so as not to leave any loopholes in his body.
Then, he started to operate the "Ten Thousand Paths Convergence" that was close to the Great Perfection.
The fire in his body was blazing, and the ointment outside his body was moist.
A burnt smell drifted out.
After several hours.
Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the rough skin on his body, he frowned at first.
Then he took out the Black Fire Sword and gently cut his arm.
There was a blood mark.
But when it touched the body, there was indeed a slight sound of metal clashing.
"My current physique is not yet able to resist magic weapons, but it is obviously evolving in this direction."
"And I am currently only in the middle stage of the third stage of the ancient times, and there is a lot of room for improvement."
"The Black Emperor Paste has a good medicinal effect!"
"I took the right step!"
After reaching this conclusion, Luo Chen first cast a cleansing spell on himself, and then put on his coat.
When he walked out of the separated cave, Han Zhan looked over.
"What is the effect?"
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "If you want to see the results, there is a long way to go, don't rush."
Han Zhan understood.
In other words, it really worked.
This also confirmed his guess.
The Black Emperor Paste was originally the top-level body-tempering elixir!
In other words, the requirements for the use of cultivators are too high. Without the conditions of a strong physique and the will to endure severe pain, the Black Emperor Paste cannot be used to temper the body.
Usually, he, a cultivator of the Luoyun Sect, also uses it on puppets that have no sense of pain.
Even so, other miscellaneous materials must be added to ensure rigidity and toughness.
Thinking of this, Han Zhan hesitated for a moment, but still reminded: "Luo Chen, too hard will break easily."
Luo Chen hummed.
He naturally knew the medicinal properties of the Black Emperor Paste.
Taking the shells of monsters as medicine, he trained a body of a horizontal training tyrant, which was the most powerful and uncast!
But the disadvantage is that it is not flexible enough.
Puppets are naturally easy to deal with, just add some materials to supplement toughness.
But on cultivators?
Luo Chen thought about it and just smiled.
The huge vitality that he refined and absorbed with his withered true fire strengthened the recovery ability of the body.
In a sense, this can also be regarded as adding toughness.
"Let's take it step by step!"
...
The days of seclusion on Tianxuan Island continued without any waves.
Day by day, the various types of monster crabs sent to Luo Chen by the black-scaled dragon became more and more complete.
He also saw the so-called five royal monster crabs in the Xuanyan Sea.
The king crab is the most powerful, with two claws that have terrifying power and are indestructible.
The blue emperor crab is "extremely beautiful". When it appears, it is often accompanied by other demon crabs.
The red rock crab is rare. It has always appeared in the deep sea volcanic gullies. Occasionally, it comes ashore in groups to bask in the sun. The black-scaled dragon dare not provoke it at all.
And the magic spider crab is the most terrifying. It looks like a crab, but it has eyes all over its body and can spit silk.
At first glance, it is no different from a spider.
Once the black-scaled dragon encountered a third-level magic spider crab and almost didn't come back. It was only when the Tianxuan Douou flew down from the sky and caught it that it barely saved its life.
However, the magic spider crab also has advantages.
Its meat is delicious. Luo Chen ate a first-level one and couldn't forget it. He repeatedly reminded the black-scaled dragon not to let go of the low-level magic spider crab if he encountered it.
The black-scaled dragon was very wronged!
This day.
Luo Chen was practicing in the cave when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle from outside.
"What happened?"
Han Zhan, who stayed outside, responded.
"It's Tianxuan. Judging from its tone, Hei Lin is in big trouble."
Luo Chen frowned, then put on his clothes and walked out of the cave calmly.
He jumped up and flew into the sky.
Tianxuan Douou held it up with its elegant back, set a direction, and flew over.
It was only a thousand miles away, but with the speed of Tianxuan Douou, it would arrive in an instant.
From a distance, Luo Chen saw the specific situation.
In the deep sea, the black-scaled dragon showed its huge body of thirty feet, stirring up waves.
But at this moment, it looked extremely embarrassed.
Because a giant monster crab, waving its giant claws, was chasing it madly.
Luo Chen's eyes lit up.
"Level 3 Overlord Crab!"
