Chapter 632: Dry Blood Vine, Dead Wood Ridge, Let’s Go!

"Qingyangzi, are you sure?"

"Of course, are you unwilling to leave Taoist Brother Duanli?"

In a side hall of the Demon Hunting Department, Luo Chen and Duan Li were talking quietly.

There was hesitation on the latter's face.

"It's not that I'm not sure, but it's just that if my favor is only used on such a trivial matter, wouldn't it be wasted?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said, "Why waste it? This matter is extremely important to me. One more person means more power. Especially the flower basket magic weapon, fellow Taoist, is the core of my plan, and you are indispensable."

"In that case, Duan will do as he pleases!"

Although Duanli felt confused, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

As Qingyangzi's reputation grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to repay the favor he owes him.

After all, what he said at the beginning was to do his best to repay the favor of saving his life, but how could he be willing to risk his life?

Now, for a small thing to make the other party choose to consume that favor, he has nothing to do with it.

"I just came back from completing the mission, and I have to submit the mission voucher, so I'll excuse you." Duan Li clasped his fists and left the side hall early.

After he left, Luo Chen stayed in the palace, silently planning the plans of Zi Ling Island and his party.

There are three questions on Purple Spirit Island!

One is the poisonous floral fragrance emitted by the purple monkey flower.

The second is the dozens of third-level purple gas poisonous monkeys entrenched above it.

Third, once the war breaks out, it will spread to Purple Spirit Island and affect the growth environment of the Purple Monkey Flower.

Luo Chen has been solving these three problems one by one during this period.

The improved fourth-level poison-control pill has been refined, and the quantity is completely sufficient. This can solve the so-called floral poison.

Then, he invited Sang Jiugong, Lord Lushan, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and Duan Li, who was at the third level of the Golden Core. If he and the Black King were added to the mix, that would be the top five Golden Core combat powers!

This kind of lineup, with advance planning, is enough to deal with those purple gas poisonous monkeys who lack means.

The last question is also the most important.

After much thought, Luo Chen came up with a solution.

With Duanli's flower basket magic weapon as the core, a formation was arranged to stabilize the ground of Ziling Island.

At the same time, supplemented by a set of mountain-holding talismans previously developed by Lushan Jun, this can ensure that the environment of Ziling Island is not destroyed by the aftermath of the battle to the greatest extent.

Of course, these plans are all based on attacking Purple Spirit Island.

After defeating it, Luo Chen still needs to improve the other processing methods.

The Purple Spirit Island is located in the depths of the Demonic Sea, far away from the hinterland of the human race. He cannot take care of it for a long time, so he has to leave a back-up.

"I originally planned to leave the Black King on Purple Spirit Island to take care of the elixir for me, but when it comes to the Sunken Sea Secret Realm, I need help even more, so I have to find another way."

"The formation may be a means."

"But what is the situation on Purple Spirit Island? I haven't landed on the island myself yet, so I can't prepare the formation in advance."

"First find a few sets of formations as backup, and prepare the corresponding formation equipment."

Just as Luo Chen was thinking, footsteps came from outside the hall.

He originally thought that it was the end of Duanli's return to life, and he left and came back again.

However, before anyone entered, vicissitudes of laughter could be heard outside the door.

"I originally wanted to go to Penghu to find my Taoist friend, but I didn't expect that he has a close connection with me. My Taoist friend came to visit me first."

As laughter came in, Diaosou, whom he had not seen for a long time, came into view.

Luo Chen frowned slightly, and then said: "Diaosou, long time no see. I heard that you have been busy doing things for Master Xue recently, how can you still think of going to Penghu to find me?"

He wanted to change the subject.

But he didn't expect that it was exactly what Diaosou wanted.

"What a coincidence. What I'm looking for you to do is a real thing!"

At this moment, Luo Chen's expression suddenly became solemn.

Diaosou didn't show off, he spoke frankly.

"I have found the location of the fifth-level withered blood vine, and I am now recruiting people to retrieve the treasure for Master Xue. Qingyangzi, you have great magical powers. Please help me when the time comes."

Level 5 withered blood vine!

Luo Chen's expression changed slightly, "Diaosou, are you kidding me? I didn't accept that real person mission."

Diaosou's smile faded, "Why, aren't you willing?"

Luo Chen shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to, but that I have other things to do. Besides, Wu Ending Valley didn't guarantee me before, so I'm exempt from the task of the Monster Hunting Department?"

Diaosou snorted softly, "Those things can't be put on the table. When nothing happens, we will naturally let you live freely. But now it is a big thing that the real person has designated to do. For us, it is a forced recruitment."

Speaking of this, his vicissitudes of life narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Qingyangzi, don't forget, you are a four-star demon hunter!"

Luo Chen couldn't help but remain silent.

Diaosou didn't rush him, he just found a chair next to him and sat down.

After a while, a faint sound came from the hall.

"Is this an order from Master Xue?"

"Yes, he gave me full power to mobilize the power of the Monster Hunting Department. As long as I want to, everyone must listen to my orders."

The Eight-Star Demon Hunter is already the de facto leader of the Demon Hunting Department, but he still has to obey the orders of the three major Sanren who founded the Ten Thousand Immortals Association.

Now that the real person has delegated power, Diaosou can naturally do whatever he wants.

The reward for the mission previously released by the Xuesanren contained knowledge related to the formation of a baby. This was enough temptation for Diaosou, who had been searching for a method to create a baby to no avail, to risk everything and give it a try.

The friendly relationship with Luo Chen in the past was as fragile as silk paper in the face of this mission.

Luo Chen regretted coming to the Demon Hunting Department today.

But then I thought about it, even if he didn't come, Diaosou would still come to the door in person.

Penghu is right there.

He can outrun the monk, but cannot outrun the temple.

Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, there is no point in complaining and regretting.

Luo Chen slowly expressed his concerns, "How can we compete with the power of the fifth-order withered blood vine and Nascent Soul? Diaosou, you shouldn't do that thing of hitting a stone with an egg!"

Diaosou glanced at Luo Chen in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would consider this in a short period of time.

He smiled again.

"Don't worry, I won't seek death."

"For this mission, in addition to you and me, I have also mobilized two seven-star demon hunters and a great monk in the late stage of the Golden Core."

Luo Chen was shocked!

There is no doubt that the seven-star demon hunters are all in the late stages of the Golden Core.

And that great monk, even if he is not a seven-star demon hunter, is actually in the late stage of the Golden Core.

Such a lineup can definitely be regarded as the high-end combat power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, except for the Yuanying monks.

How could I be able to have the same weight as those people in Diaosou's eyes?

"It's an achievement in body refining!"

As blessed as his soul, Luo Chen thought of this.

Diaosou had many private exchanges of physical training techniques with him in his early years. Although the other party did not make much progress, his understanding of him was increasing day by day.

The body refining technique, which is comparable to the combat power of a great monk, is why Diaosou thinks so highly of him.

In addition, the Qingyang Demon Lord was famous, how could Diaosou leave such a good thug unused.

"Qingyangzi, don't worry too much."

"In addition to the five of us, Master Xue also gave us another method specifically to deal with the fifth-level withered blood vine."

"This trip is not dangerous for you, it is just a long trip. Even after completing the mission, you can also get merit points and increase the star level of the demon hunter. The star level of their seven-star demon hunter is too high and cannot be improved too much. It’s a lot, but you’re only four stars now, which is enough to advance to a big level.”

Diaosou talked eloquently, and his words were full of confidence in the success of the mission.

After his persuasion, Luo Chen gradually became less resistant.

However, before that, he still had questions to ask.

"Where is the mission location? My own affairs are also very urgent, so don't delay for too long."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Diaosou asked casually.

Luo Chen didn't answer.

Diaosou laughed and took out a piece of jade from his arms.

Seeing Luo Chen reaching out to take it, he paused and held the jade piece.

"You and I will make a small oath that the details of this trip will not be leaked."

Luo Chen frowned and had no choice but to make a small oath of confidentiality with Diaosou using their spiritual consciousness as a guide.

This kind of oath is not very binding.

But once it is leaked, the other party will feel it.

In this case, the consequences of leakage can be imagined.

Taking the jade piece from Diaosou's hand, Luo Chen's consciousness sank into it and he observed it carefully.

"Start from the Ten Thousand Immortals Association and head east... across the seven mountains and five seas... until the Deadwood Ridge."

"After reading it, give it back to me!"

Diaosou wanted to return the jade piece, and at the same time said: "I will inform you of the specific departure time in three months. During these three months, you should prepare in advance and adjust your status. The mission is said to be not dangerous, but it is really necessary to go out. In the event of an accident, you still have to rely on yourself, but I can’t guarantee it.”

"By the way, the other three people traveling with us are probably not familiar to you since you have been living in seclusion for these years. They are... Haha, I am too busy. How could you not be familiar with Huangfu Song?"

Luo Chen looked a little strange when he heard Diaosou tell the origin of the three names.

Diaosou just thought that he was uncomfortable with Huangfu Song and didn't think much about it. He hurriedly left after a few instructions.

Luo Chen left the Demon Hunting Department on his own.

Walking on the street, Luo Chen's strange expression gradually dissipated.

"It's actually a drop-in!"

If he read it correctly, the map on the jade piece was clearly in the same direction as the direction he wanted to go to Purple Spirit Island.

It's just that one after the other.

Kumu Ridge is in front and Ziling Island is behind.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Luo Chen's mind.

"Yes, the Black King mentioned that on the route to Purple Spirit Island, he took a long detour just to avoid an extremely dangerous mountain. Now it seems that there is clearly a fifth-level withered blood vine entrenched of Deadwood Ridge.”

After thinking about this, Luo Chen's heart suddenly became alive.

He is such a master caster, and he has basically lived in seclusion in Penghu for these years.

If he left suddenly and attracted attention, it would not be easy for him to explain to Wuzhonggu and the Zhou family and the Chen family.

If anyone pays attention and learns about the Purple Monkey Flower, I'm sure no knowledgeable person will guess Luo Chen's plan.

At that time, it will easily lead to disaster.

But if he was forced to go out in the name of the Blood Sanren mission, there wouldn't be much controversy.

Even if someone is curious, they will only focus on the famous Xue Sanren.

"Three months?"

"It's better to let Mr. Lushan and the others take a step earlier."

Luo Chen murmured in his heart.

…

Since the return of the Monster Hunting Department, Luo Chen has been staying at home again.

Only a large amount of materials were collected from the Zhang family and then sent to the Alchemy Palace through Tianxuan's hands.

In the outside world, there are indeed people who are paying attention to Luo Chen's movements at all times.

As far as Wu Ending Valley and the Zhou family were concerned, Luo Chen was only there to refine defensive magic weapons for them.

To Ding Yi of Moyun Mountain and the master of Moyun Cave, they thought that Luo Chen was hurriedly refining the black turtle treasure that had crossed the Sea of ​​Sinking.

The fishing man also learned about Luo Chen's movements through his subordinates. He just smiled after hearing it. Luo Chen was so busy, it seemed that he was really serious about the task.

Three months passed in a flash.

One day, Ding Yi took time out and took the initiative to visit Luo Chen.

But Tian Xuan told him that he was out.

"It's a mandatory task from the Monster Hunting Division. My master has no choice."

Ding Yi was stunned, his face was uncertain, and he only said: "When your master comes back, please ask him to come to Moyun Mountain immediately."

It seems that he is a little anxious.

In addition to Ding Yi, Zhou Shanshan also brought a young Jindan cultivator from the Zhou family to visit, but was also turned away.

The two were unhappy.

But after returning to the Zhou family, they learned some inside information, and their resentment gradually dissipated.

The tyranny of Xue Sanren has always been rumored in the Wanxian Society.

Except for Yue Sanren, few cultivators in the Wanxian Society dared to disobey his tasks.

This is true even for the big forces with Nascent Soul cultivators like Wuzhong Valley and Zhou Family.

It’s because Xue Sanren is a Nascent Soul cultivator in the middle stage, and he has a glorious record of escaping from the hands of the great cultivator Yuanhou.

The ancestors of Wuzhong Valley, Coral Sea Zhou Family, and Tianqu Chen Family are only Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stage, how can they disobey him?

No matter how many troubles are behind him.

At present, Luo Chen met two seven-star monster hunters who were traveling with him under the introduction of Diao Sou.

"Hook Star Envoy, who is good at star art, comes from the annihilated Tianyaoxing Sect."

Luo Chen was extremely surprised, looking at the man with extraordinary appearance and a dazzling star robe.

"But three hundred years ago, the Tianyaoxing Sect was known for killing countless monsters and using monster pills as stars?"

Hearing someone remembering the deceased sect, Gou Xingshi smiled bitterly.

"The glory of the past is nothing but a pile of yellow earth now, and even the mountain gate has been buried in the ocean."

"My condolences."

Luo Chen sighed, and this condolences came from the bottom of his heart.

There are many spiritual veins in the North Sea, which has also led to the emergence of many sects and families.

The Tianyaoxing Sect is one of the most famous ones.

This sect has a very good relationship with the Yuanmo Sect, and even the former sect territory is close to the Yuanmo Sect. Its inner disciples have many means to target the monsters, and they are proud of killing monsters.

But three hundred years ago, the Tianyaoxing Sect was destroyed by a powerful monster beast, and countless people were killed and injured, and almost no disciples survived.

At that time, outsiders only thought that the Tianyaoxing Sect had provoked a big monster that should not be provoked.

It was only later that they realized that it might be that the North Sea monster beast had clipped its wings in advance in order to counterattack the Yuanmo Sect.

After the Gou Xingshi, the other person was a taciturn man.

Luo Chen only knew that the other party's name was Dao Lan, a symbolic casual cultivator in the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, and he rarely went out.

Or rather, he didn't rarely go out, but he had been on the Liuyang Defense Line, performing the garrison mission.

According to rumors from the outside world, Dao Lan was also the next person who was most likely to be promoted to an eight-star demon hunter.

This was a hard-working cultivator among casual cultivators!

And he used fighting to hone himself as a means of cultivation.

The strong murderous aura was kept away from strangers.

After getting to know the two seven-star demon hunters who were traveling with him, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

For this mission, Diao Sou really put a lot of thought into it!

The former powerful man of the upper sect, the top master of the first defense line, plus himself who was good at body training, oh, there was another person.

Luo Chen glanced at the room with the closed door on the flying boat.

Huangfu Song was inside, but he was very arrogant and didn't even want to come out to meet them.

However, this arrogance seemed a bit out of place when the mission was about to be carried out.

"Come to think of it, the Purple Queen once asked him to come to my house to pour me tea and apologize. Could this be the reason why he didn't want to go out?"

For some reason, Luo Chen chuckled.

The Diao Sou looked at Luo Chen strangely. The next task was to carry out the mission of the Yuanying Zhenren. Everyone else was very cautious, but Qingyangzi was quite calm.

Clapping his hands, he said loudly: "The mission is imminent. I will first introduce the situation of the Dead Wood Ridge to you in detail to avoid any accidents."

When he said this, a divine consciousness extended from the closed door.

The four Jindan cultivators looked at each other when they saw this.

He is not a fool!
