After Chen Sheng returned from Fengnu Mountain and stepped into the Black Abyss Prison, the first thing he saw was Chen Lian standing in front of cell number one, talking to Rouran. His expression changed slightly, as he didn't want the two to be involved.
"No, I went to find her."
Chen Lian shook her head. After the Rouran learned that the secret of the Mother-Child Divine Transfer Spell had been exposed, they knew that Chen Sheng was in charge and had accepted their fate. Over the years, they had been very quiet and had not made any trouble.
"What did you say?"
After knowing the reason, a smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face. No matter what, Chen Lian was able to face it gently and calmly, which meant that she had completely come out of it.
"Some meaningless words."
Chen Lian didn't want to dwell on Rouran's problem any more, so she showed concern for Chen Sheng and asked, "Uncle Chen, are you hurt?"
Generally, when exploring secret places, Chen Sheng seldom shows up, but once he does, it must be a dangerous place.
This time, it was no exception. She looked up and down at Chen Sheng's figure, trying to figure out the situation.
"The captain has great magical powers, he is not injured."
Qi Liu couldn't help but speak. In the secret realm of Fengnu Mountain, the methods displayed by Chen Sheng impressed all of them. It can be said that he turned the tide and suppressed Xutian. He was extremely powerful.
"You haven't seen that kind of heavenly swordsmanship..."
There was a deep sense of amazement in Zhao Da's words. When that brilliant sword light flashed, the mountains shook, and even the most powerful mountain spirits and monsters would fall.
He had never seen such swordsmanship, it was exquisite, powerful, unyielding and grand, and he could admire it for the rest of his life.
"Uncle Chen, how can you be so powerful?"
Chen Lian didn't understand anything about spiritual practice, but she was happy whenever people praised Chen Sheng. She was like a child, looking at the man who protected her with respect and admiration.
“They say, just believe it.”
Mr. Chen chuckled and never talked about the glory he had. After all, over the years, he had smoothed out too many edges and corners, and could now look at various issues with a more lofty and calm gaze.
"letter."
Chen Lian nodded solemnly.
"Hahaha……"
Mr. Chen was happy to have such a clear-headed younger generation praising him so much, and he accepted the praise with peace of mind.
"Uncle Chen, there is something I want to tell you."
Amidst the laughter, Chen Lian's expression gradually became serious, and she finally made some kind of decision.
"What is it?"
Chen Sheng responded, turned his head slightly, and said to the Tenth Team standing behind, "You go back first, and refine the resources in the Fengnu Mountain Secret Realm into pills before distributing them."
The rock essence and spirit marrow fluid can be taken directly to refine the body, but the efficiency is too low. He decided to refine the pills himself to improve the overall strength of the Tenth Team.
After all, he is leading the team now, so he has to take care of them.
"Okay, thank you, Captain."
The members of the tenth team happily agreed without any doubt or suspicion. Knowing that Chen Sheng had made great achievements in alchemy, they guided Dafu to become a first-class alchemist.
Refining the rock essence and spirit marrow liquid into pills can indeed improve their effectiveness. In the past, they had handled spiritual herbs and other things roughly and were somewhat helpless.
Now we have Chen Sheng, who can not only refine pills but also has the means to do so, almost monopolizing all the cultivation resources. With such a captain, there is nothing to complain about. All we have to do is stand back with our swords raised and charge forward.
"I want to go out for a walk... maybe for a long time..."
After the Tenth Team left, Area A11 became somewhat quiet, and Chen Lian's crisp voice came out unusually clearly.
This decision was the result of her careful consideration. Staying in the Black Abyss Prison would only be a waste of time. It would be better to go outside and see the vast world.
Unlike last time, when I felt like I had a huge mountain on my heart, this time I feel free and can truly measure the mountains and rivers.
"What do you want to do?"
Mr. Chen was silent for a moment and nodded. Chen Lian was able to overcome her mental barriers, realize that life is short, and actively participate in society. Even if he was reluctant, it was a good thing after all and he should not stop it.
"During this time, I read a lot of books and saw the vastness of this world."
The books that Chen Lian read were not ordinary books, but classics of the immortal way, with magic and magical powers, as well as travel notes of cultivators. She read a lot and felt something in her heart. She said, "I want to read while walking and put some principles into practice."
Her trip was destined not to be boring. The world was vast and there were countless things worth exploring and discovering.
"That's a good thing, I support you."
Mr. Chen felt that Chen Lian had grown up and knew what to pursue and was no longer ignorant. This kind of life was very good. Even if she died in the future, she would not end up in loneliness.
"Uncle Chen..."
After talking it out and making the decision, when she was about to leave, Chen Lian felt a lot in her heart. Looking at this figure, her eyes revealed a variety of emotions, including tears, gratitude, and happiness. In a word, she felt that he was a lucky person.
"You are a mortal. You cannot travel without a way to protect yourself. You must carry the Chen card I gave you before. In addition, these talismans, spirit stones, elixirs, gold and silver are also indispensable."
Mr. Chen was busy giving instructions and packing Chen Lian's luggage. When everything was ready, he said, "Uncle Chen is here, waiting for you to come back."
Chen Lian has nothing, has no relatives to rely on, and has a chance to become an immortal but cannot practice cultivation. It must be very miserable for him.
Now that he has met her, he doesn't mind adding a little friendship and lending a helping hand over the long years.
"Um……"
Chen Lian left the Black Abyss Prison with a smile on his face, carrying his bag, like a wanderer, and went to find his own "Tao".
…
"Spiritual fluid, mountain essence..."
In the silent Black Abyss Prison, Chen Sheng sorted out the gains from the Windfury Mountain Secret Realm and searched for a suitable pill recipe in his mind.
"Gu Yan Dan!"
After half an incense stick of time, he made up his mind. Without further hesitation, he called someone and said, "Da Fu, I'm going to make the elixir. Come and watch."
Dafu's aptitude in alchemy is not very good, but he works wholeheartedly and truly loves alchemy, so he deserves some guidance.
“Here I come…”
Hearing this, Da Fu hurried over. Ever since he had witnessed Chen Sheng's alchemy skills, he had been thinking about taking a second look. Now that the opportunity had come, he took it very seriously.
“Buzz…”
It was still the same secluded place as last time. Chen Sheng set up the rainbow trout furnace. The elixir fire rose in his hand and fell into the furnace. Immediately, the flames were shining brightly, as if a fire area had been opened up.
His eyes were calm as he manipulated the alchemy fire, activated his mental power, opened the lid of the furnace, and spiritual herbs one by one fell into the alchemy furnace.
The flames boiled fiercely, but at just the right temperature so as not to burn too much and destroy the spiritual herbs.
Doing this saves some time, but it requires extraordinary control to be able to perform.
“Crack…”
The sound of breaking was heard one after another, very subtle.
It was the shell of the spiritual herb, which could not withstand the burning of the fire and was dried and broken.
What was left behind was a ball of crystal liquid, clear and flawless, like a crystal, flowing with bright luster.
Chen Sheng seemed to be unaware of anything as he calmly refined various spiritual herbs and extracted pure medicinal liquid.
“It was smooth and silky, without any unnecessary movements or abrupt turns, as if the laws of nature were operating naturally.”
Da Fu was filled with admiration. Chen Sheng's method of refining spiritual herbs was beyond his reach. The more he learned, the more he was amazed at the mystery of his alchemy skills.
"boom"
Chen Sheng was the last one to refine the mountain rock essence. Before that, he had made a layer of arrangements in the world inside the furnace to protect the essences of various spiritual herbs.
Sure enough, the scene he expected appeared. The energy in the rock spirit was extremely violent. Like a manic beast, it immediately went crazy and rushed around when attacked by the elixir fire.
However, he did not give the rock spirit a chance to wreak havoc. He used layer upon layer of Dan fire, which was stacked on top of each other. The terrifying fire suppressed everything.
The rock essence melted into a pool of liquid in a very short period of time, and the flame burned until it became the size of a longan, then the impurities faded away and reached the clearest state.
"If I were to control it, this would be bad."
Da Fu's heart skipped a beat. Without much thought, he saw Chen Sheng refine the rock essence. He was shocked. If he were in Chen Sheng's shoes and asked him to do it, this furnace of pills would have been wasted.
“Buzz…”
Chen Sheng was refining the Ancient Rock Pill in an orderly manner. As soon as he had a thought, the essences of two or three kinds of spiritual herbs came into contact with each other. The fusion of pharmacology was not peaceful, but was mixed with a kind of impatience, but fortunately it was integrated.
There were no accidents during the whole process, but the restlessness caused by the blending of pharmacological agents became more and more intense.
"I didn't do the recipe, but why is the reaction in the furnace so big?"
Da Fu fell into deep thought. He had never encountered such a strange situation. The pharmacology was obviously perfectly integrated, but the noise was so loud that it seemed like he was about to get out of control.
“Buzz…”
As if Chen Sheng was unaware of it, he integrated the last of the rock spirit essence into the pharmacology. In an instant, like a flame falling into an oil field, strong waves of spiritual energy raged and shook the alchemy furnace.
"The furnace won't explode, will it?"
Da Fu looked at Chen Sheng carefully, and seeing that he looked calm, his panicked mood slowly calmed down.
“Clatter…”
At this moment, Chen Sheng poured a ball of spiritual marrow liquid into the alchemy furnace, and all the restlessness disappeared. He saw clouds rising and the embryonic forms of pills shining in the dim light.
"Too dangerous... too strong!"
Da Fu widened his eyes. It was clearly a critical situation, but Mr. Chen seemed to be handling it with ease.
This kind of indifference is based on unparalleled strength, which is amazing.
“Buzz…”
Chen Sheng was slowly and leisurely refining the prototype of the elixir in the alchemy furnace. Nothing unexpected happened. After half an hour, a stream of clear air broke open the lid of the furnace, covering it like a sky curtain, and the nine ancient rock pills underneath were shining brightly, which was very eye-catching.
“Gurgle…”
Chen Sheng waved his hand to wipe out the scent of the elixir, and with a casual grab, an ancient rock pill fell into his hand. Without thinking, he swallowed it straight into his stomach.
As the Shenzhao body was activated, the ancient rock pill shattered and turned into surging medicinal power that flooded every part of his body. It was like a raging fire burning across the prairie, and his flesh and blood turned red.
Afterwards, the red light dissipated and turned into the transparency of colored crystal. The fists and feet rose and fell with a kind of powerful force.
"The medicinal properties are not bad. If I use the essence stone of the Mountain Rock King to refine it, it should make the Shenzhao body stronger."
Chen Sheng knew that the Ancient Rock Pill would be of great benefit to the cultivation of the Shenzhao Body. At this rate, he would be able to cultivate a strong body before forming the Golden Pill.
The alchemy master Xiao Jian wrote in his book Chao Jin Dan Jie that in order to form a golden elixir, one must burn one's essence, energy and spirit to forge a wisp of golden elixir energy.
The stronger the body, the more vigorous the essence and energy. He can then refine his energy and nourish his spirit. When his essence, energy and spirit are perfect and the time is right, he can transform into a golden elixir immortal in an instant.
"One Ancient Rock Pill per person. Don't swallow it directly. Dissolve it in water and drink it in small sips."
Chen Sheng thought about the remaining Ancient Rock Pills and gave one to Dafu. Then he thought that the other prison guards in Area A11 should not be left behind, so he gave them two more.
District A11 was also gradually declining, with only Dafu, Cai Rong and Wang Xian left. Perhaps the prisoners did not cause any trouble, and were as good as dead, so the higher-ups simply did not send anyone over.
"Is the Tenth Squad enough?"
Da Fuping held up his hand, holding three ancient rock pills, but did not accept them. Instead, he asked this question.
Sometimes, just because you are a leader you can't do whatever you want. It's also tragic if you don't have the ability and can't provide benefits for your subordinates.
He is very old and knows this truth. He doesn't want to make Mr. Chen feel uncomfortable in front of the Tenth Squad.
"enough."
Mr. Chen only said one word, but it was full of confidence, allowing Dafu to leave safely.
…
"Fellow Daoist, I heard that you just searched a powerful secret realm."
Yang Huayue came.
Chen Sheng had a good relationship with him and the Ninth Team before. After returning from exploring the secret realm, they all guessed that they had received another large amount of cultivation resources.
"Since you're in that position, it's not good to do nothing."
Mr. Chen is a responsible person. Now that he is in that position, he will not act recklessly or cause the wrath of heaven and people. He will definitely do what he should do.
“That’s right.”
Yang Huayue agreed and said in a serious tone: "If there is any dangerous secret realm in the future, and the Tenth Squad can't handle it alone, you can ask the Ninth Squad to act together."
He missed the days of working with Mr. Chen. The feeling of receiving a large amount of cultivation resources was so wonderful.
Unfortunately, he pushed Chen Sheng and ruined his carefree life.
I won't regret it, of course. As long as there is no interest in our dealings, it's fine to just be friends.
"no problem."
Mr. Chen agreed. Although Yang Huayue seemed ruthless, he was actually a kind-hearted person.
When Rouran was imprisoned, he gave some advice and later recommended the tenth captain. It can be seen that he is a trustworthy person.
"You are still generous."
Seeing that Mr. Chen agreed so readily, Yang Huayue was very happy. People who don't forget their old friendship always make people feel comfortable.
He was really optimistic about Chen Sheng and said, "You have the ability. Maybe you can plan ahead decades and compete for the position of warden."
This can be calculated. No matter how powerful the warden is, he is ultimately limited by his lifespan in the Foundation Establishment Stage and cannot stay permanently.
The old is replaced by the new, and this never changes.
"knew……"
Mr. Chen didn't have much intention of fighting for power, but he still expressed his gratitude to Yang Huayue.
…
Cell No. 8, Block A5.
"The things in the secret realm of Windfury Mountain are not easy to deal with."
Xifeng Yang was in a dark cage, unable to move, but his mind was full of thoughts, and he was concerned about Chen Sheng's situation.
He is definitely an evil person who will take revenge when he has a grudge. After being humiliated many times, he naturally wants to get back at them.
The secret realm of Fengnu Mountain is his conspiracy. As long as Chen Sheng is greedy and falls into it, it will be difficult to come out.
The rock spirits are not so easy to deal with.
"The three survival rules of the Black Abyss Prison can also cure you, the Dark Blade."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel secretly proud. Even though they were locked up in the Black Abyss Prison, these immortal elites still had the ability to influence people's hearts and lives.
At this time.
"I'm back."
A familiar voice sounded.
Xifeng Yang's face froze, he turned around and saw that it was indeed Chen Sheng. The other party seemed to be unharmed and in full energy, so it was obvious that his plan had not succeeded.
He was a little unwilling and asked, "How many people were lost?"
The key people are fine, so the loss of a few Dark Blade monks is also a good thing. It is worth the plan, and a secret realm is also lost.
"without!"
Mr. Chen said simply.
In an instant, Xifeng Yang's hope disappeared, and there was a bitterness on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Chen Sheng with caution.
“This person is not simple.”
He didn't dare to underestimate Chen Sheng anymore. The secret realm of Fengnu Mountain was extremely dangerous, but he was able to lead everyone back safely. His methods and abilities were mysterious and unpredictable, which made people fear him.
"We will still be dealing with each other."
Chen Sheng did not think that the prisoners' calculations were abominable. If he had a choice, he would think that the prisoners in the Black Abyss Prison would make the most of the opportunities they had to set up a trap so that he could grab the resources for cultivation from them.
"No, I don't want to see you again."
Xifeng Yang had a feeling that if he got entangled with this Dark Blade Captain, the outcome would not be good.
His premonition was true. From then on, the prisoners in the Black Abyss Prison encountered a terrible enemy who sanctioned them in all aspects, emptied them, and oppressed them.
