Chapter 253 Zhao Chan is really moved
The night is quiet, the cold wind is howling, exuding the coolness of late autumn.
"A month has finally passed!"
Looking at the bright moonlight outside, Chen Ling exhaled and put away the two crystal clear Haoyuan Pills in the Void Fire Cauldron in front of him.
This month, Zhao Chanzhen gave her fifteen pieces of Haoyuan Dan materials.
I have to say that it allowed him to see the wealth of the Huashen family again.
Not only are the materials abundant, but they are also of good quality.
Of course, he only used eight of these fifteen materials, and refined a total of fourteen Haoyuan Pills.
Only one of them was lost.
The success rate is still quite high!
This month, Chen Ling almost never left the camp.
Either he concentrates on refining elixirs, or he regulates his breath and recovers.
He looked like he was trying his best.
After all, besides Zhao Chanzhen, there were Nascent Soul cultivators from other sects around him, and he didn't know what their cultivation levels were.
It's never a mistake to be careful!
As for the fourteen Haoyuan Pills, twelve are given to Zhao Chanzhen, and the other two and the remaining materials are considered wages!
"The war is coming tomorrow, so we have to be fully prepared!"
Chen Ling murmured.
Although I prepared a third-level top-quality invisibility robe, it was the first time I used it, and I wasn’t sure whether it could evade the demonic consciousness of a fourth-level monster.
"How about trying the Nascent Soul cultivators around?"
Thoughts flashed through Chen Ling's mind.
But he quickly shook his head and rejected this unrealistic idea.
Generally speaking, monsters do not practice soul skills, and demon consciousness is just a talent, not as good as the soul of a monk.
But the fourth-level monsters have extremely powerful demon consciousness.
If it can be hidden from the spiritual sense of the Nascent Soul cultivator, it will not be easily discovered by the monster.
It's just that several Nascent Soul cultivators here are not familiar with him.
This kind of rash temptation is very dangerous behavior.
"Hey, let's forget it. We'll see the specific situation tomorrow and then decide how to act!"
Chen Ling secretly said.
He immediately took out a Yuan-Zeng Dan, drank it, sat cross-legged on the bed, and started practicing.
Once in the wilderness, the advantage of being an alchemist becomes extremely obvious.
Sufficient elixirs are the greatest guarantee for maintaining intact combat power.
······.
The next morning, when Chen Ling handed all twelve Haoyuan Pills to Zhao Chanzhen, she looked happy.
This elixir came just in time.
He praised Chen Ling again and became more and more pleased with him.
There was even a weird idea in my mind. If the Zhao family didn't find a suitable candidate, it wouldn't be a bad idea to become a Taoist couple with him.
Now Chen Ling is still very satisfied with her in all aspects, including her cultivation and personality.
"You can think about this matter carefully. After all, if you have a fourth-level weapon refiner and a fourth-level alchemy master Taoist companion, then you basically don't have to worry about training resources in the future!"
"In the future, the Zhao family will be able to save a lot of money by purchasing war boats and elixirs!"
Zhao Chanzhen was already a little moved.
However, the most urgent task at the moment is to resolve the issue of the White Gold Ape first.
As for the reward for the elixir, Chen Ling hoped that she could pay it with top-quality spiritual stones.
Zhao Chanzhen naturally agreed readily, but since she did not have the best spiritual stone in her hands at the moment, she could only wait until the land reclamation was completed before paying Chen Ling.
Soon, the leading monks from other sects also gathered in the meeting hall.
Chen Ling's eyes scanned slightly.
Among the dozen or so monks, there were five Nascent Soul monks, and there were even two Nascent Soul monks in the middle stage.
The others are also late-stage Jindan monks.
Knowing that the decisive battle was coming soon, everyone looked solemn.
Since Chen Ling is located next to Zhao Chanzhen, the relationship between Chen Ling and Zhao Chanzhen seems to be quite cordial.
But he was only at the second level of Jindan cultivation, and he looked very conspicuous at this moment.
Chen Ling looked indifferent to everyone's gaze, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
Killed two Nascent Soul monks, Guo Laozu and Cao Zhenghong, one after another.
Nowadays, when meeting monks in the early and middle stages of Nascent Soul, they no longer feel the same pressure as before.
Zhao Chanzhen glanced at the people sitting on both sides, looked solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Family heads and heads, now that you have arrived, get ready to go!"
"But before setting off, I still have to explain something clearly to you all!"
"So far this year, we have opened up nearly 8,000 miles of land."
"Regardless of whether we can capture the White Gold Ape's territory this time, these developed areas will be distributed among the seven major sects present based on merit."
"Including the resources in the territory, our Zhao family will not occupy any of them."
"But if anyone dares to fight against you in the next battle, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Although Zhao Chanzhen is only in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, facing so many high-level monks, he has a majestic aura in his movements.
"Master Zhao, just rest assured, our Qianxiang Formation Sect will definitely do our best to kill the monsters!"
A tall, dignified-looking middle-aged man sitting in front replied with a smile.
Others also agreed.
Although there have been quite a few casualties in the previous two battles.
But these sects are all affiliated sects of Lanyue Sect.
Lan Yuezong gave the order and they had no other choice.
If they dare to disobey, not only will their lives be in danger, but the entire sect will probably be involved.
Zhao Chanzhen had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions.
Among the seven sects sitting here, four sects are affiliated to the Zhao family, and the other three sects are close to the Yunmengze area and were forcibly recruited.
Moreover, there are two sects that have more intensive interactions with the Cao family.
She still had some concerns about their situation.
"Okay, I have made arrangements for this battle. Uncle Liu and Senior Tu will help me deal with the Platinum Ape, and Sect Master Jiang will join forces to deal with the Thunder Rhinoceros!"
Zhao Chanzhen continued.
For this land reclamation, the Zhao family also moved out almost all their property, including a lot of elixirs, runes, magic circles, puppets, etc.
Although she is in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, she is a formation mage and sword cultivator, and she has many treasures in her hands.
So every time we fight, we must take the lead!
Never back down!
"yes!"
The five Nascent Soul cultivators all stood up and replied with fists in their hands.
"Let's set off to destroy the White Gold Ape!"
Zhao Chanzhen waved and said.
Outside, the Immortal Thunder War Boat had already docked in the center of the camp.
Then, Zhao Chanzhen moved, took the lead to leave the hall, and leaped onto the war boat.
Then, others followed closely.
The fourth-level war boat is more than a hundred feet long and six to seventy feet wide, which is more than enough to accommodate two thousand monks.
In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand monks boarded the war boat.
Chen Ling followed the large team and entered the third-floor cabin.
This time, he quietly found a seat in the corner and sat down.
Since the war was about to begin, everyone else sat cross-legged and meditated with their eyes closed, without much conversation.
After a while, the Immortal Thunder War Boat flew towards the wilderness.
This battle was arranged by Zhao Chanzhen just now.
Chen Ling also learned that a total of five Yuanying monks participated.
Among them, Zhao Zhengdong, the elder of the Zhao family in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and Jiang Kaishan, the leader of Qianxiang Formation Sect, are the main forces this time.
The other three early Yuanying monks are Zhang Peng, the elder of the Haoguang Sect, Li Jinshu, the elder of the Seven Star Sect, and Tu Baoyun of the Spiritual Beast Sect.
There are also dozens of golden elixir monks.
There are more than two hundred foundation-building monks.
Such a lineup, whether in the Western Wilderness or even in the Ancient China, is definitely considered to be quite powerful.
"Master Chen, when the battle breaks out, you'd better stay on the battle boat!"
Chen Ling, who was closing his eyes to rest, suddenly heard Zhao Chanzhen's concerned voice in his ears.
In her opinion, with Chen Ling's identity, there is no need to go to the front line to fight!
This can be regarded as a kind of protection for Chen Ling.
"Senior, don't worry, junior is just working hard and can't stay any longer."
"In this situation, naturally I have to do my part for the Zhao family!"
Chen Ling's tone was straight to the point.
The main purpose of his adventure to come to the wilderness was to put away the Five Ultimate Thunder Flames and stay on the war boat, so it was better not to come.
Of course, you can also wait and see what the final result is.
But in the end, no matter which side wins, it will be detrimental to itself.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to take advantage of the opportunity of the battle between the two sides to go to this cave.
"Then you have to make your own decisions. It's best to stay with me. These Yuanying old monsters in front of you seem to be friendly on the surface. No one knows what their intentions are after we leave."
"Especially the people from Haoguang Sect and Qixing Sect. They are close to the Cao family. They were forced to come in by me this time, so they feel a little bit resentful in their hearts."
"The battlefield will change rapidly by then, so it's best to be on guard!"
Zhao Chanzhen's tone became a little solemn.
Judging from her tone, she seemed to have noticed something!
When Chen Ling heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
No wonder this lineup has always been unable to match the Platinum Ape and Thunder Rhinoceros. It turns out there is a hidden secret in it.
However, his goal was the cave of the ancestor of the Wang family. He would try his best not to provoke other things.
A foundation-building family has several factions, not to mention that the Lan Yue Sect is such a giant.
It is normal for sects to fight for their own interests and resources.
However, now that the Cao family was involved, he wouldn't mind giving the two of them a ride if it went smoothly.
After all, the friend of your enemy is your enemy.
Easygoing, Zhao Chanzhen also cut off the sound transmission.
Chen Ling also quietly glanced at the two Nascent Soul monks from Haoguang Sect and Qixing Sect not far away from him.
The two were talking in a low voice.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I heard that you recently obtained several golden-grained sunflower plants that are more than a thousand years old?"
Zhang Peng, the elder of the Haoguang Sect, is middle-aged, tall, and has a rather elegant appearance. His sharp eyes give people a sense of coercion. He is asking Li Jinshu with a smile.
Li Jinshu, the elder of the Seven Star Sect, is thin, has dark skin, and is wearing a somewhat old black robe. If he were to meet him on a country road, he would be no different from an old farmer in the countryside.
But who would have thought that this inconspicuous old man was actually the great monk of Nascent Soul.
The corner of his mouth moved slightly, but no sound came out. It was obvious that the two of them were talking through sound transmission instead.
Chen Ling sighed slightly in his heart, it is true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance!
"Thousand-year-old Golden Pattern Grass, this is a good thing!"
Chen Ling secretly said.
Sun Golden Pattern Grass is the best medicine for refining gold and fire elixirs. It can not only increase the success rate of the elixir, but also improve its properties.
Just like the Haoyuan Dan he is refining now has two Dan patterns, if he adds the Sun Golden Pattern grass, he might have a chance to refine a Haoyuan Dan with three Dan patterns.
Then the price has more than doubled!
After a while, the speed of the war boat gradually slowed down.
Zhao Chanzhen stood up from the main seat, glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and said solemnly, "In the ten or so miles ahead, there is a gathering place for the White Gold Ape and other monsters. Everyone, be prepared."
"Let me emphasize the battle plan again."
"Uncle Sixth, Master Tu and I deal with the White Gold Ape."
"Sect Leader Jiang, Elder Zhang and Elder Li will deal with the Thunder Rhinoceros."
"Whoever kills the opponent first will go to help kill another fourth-level monster."
"As for the Golden Core cultivators, we have to deal with those third-level monsters!"
"The foundation-building monks are second-level monsters!"
This was originally a plan that had been decided long ago, and everyone clasped their fists to accept the order.
Chen Ling had no objection to this arrangement.
With his current methods, unless he encounters these two mid-level fourth-level monsters at the same time, they will not pose a threat to him!
Of course, his goal was Patriarch Wang's cave, and he didn't want to waste time on other things.
According to the records on the jade slips, its location is in this area, at the mouth of a funnel-shaped mountain range.
Afterwards, everyone also came to the deck of the war boat.
Although the sun was shining brightly at the moment, the wilderness below was shrouded in a faint evil mist.
But with Chen Ling's current spiritual consciousness cultivation level.
You can clearly see the lush grassland, lakes, jungles, and mountains below.
If the evil mist in this place can be cleared away, this place will undoubtedly be a place suitable for human beings to survive.
As for the existence of spiritual veins, that is unknown.
In the jungle grassland, many low-level monsters also discovered the roaring war boat, and they all let out continuous warning roars.
At the same time, as if they had been summoned, they all rushed towards a giant peak over a thousand feet in front.
Come to think of it, that is the base camp of the Platinum Ape.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Two earth-shaking roars came from the giant peak.
Streams of majestic aura rose into the sky.
"Uncle Six, activate the war boat array!"
At this time, Zhao Chanzhen ordered Zhao Zhengdong, who was controlling the war boat.
"Yes, head of the family!"
Zhao Zhengdong cupped his fists and accepted the order.
Although his cultivation and seniority are much higher than Zhao Chanzhen, Zhao Zhengdong seems to be convinced by Zhao Chanzhen.
Then, Zhao Zhengdong was seen mumbling words, and a black array appeared in front of him.
Then, he pressed the seal, and an overwhelming buzzing sound immediately sounded on the war boat.
The next second, the runes on the war boat's body shone, and then streaks of thunder rays of light appeared.
Rumble.
The lightning rippled instantly.
Suddenly, with the war boat as the center, groups of roaring thunder rose into the sky.
"The huge thunder sea wave is falling!"
Zhao Zhengdong immediately pointed toward the giant peak not far away.
The thunder that surrounded the war boat surged out in an instant, condensed in an instant, and hit the giant peak like an overwhelming sea of thunder.
The violent thunder spirit power roared past, and the thick evil mist disappeared without a trace.
On the mountainside of the giant peak, a huge figure gradually emerged.
The next moment, the figure roared angrily, punched the sea of thunder, and struck away hard.
A giant golden fist like a mountain came down from Gaia.
Boom!
In an instant, the giant golden fist and the thunder light intertwined and bombarded each other, like two ancient giants fighting with their bare hands!
Finally, there was a loud explosion, and after a burst of golden light and thunder, the sky became clear again.
But now, the evil fog around the giant peak has almost completely dissipated.
The huge bodies of the White Gold Ape and Thunder Rhinoceros on the mountain also appeared in front of everyone.
The Platinum Ape is more than ten feet tall, with golden hair all over its body. It looks extremely domineering and roars continuously from its mouth.
It was obvious that he had suffered a loss from the attack just now.
The body of the Thunder Rhinoceros reaches thirty to forty feet, and the black thunder horns standing high on its forehead are surging with lightning.
The terrifying aura they release alone is enough to suppress an early stage Jindan monk to death.
And around them, other monsters were densely packed, ready to fight.
"Follow the plan!"
On the war boat, Zhao Chanzhen passed down the order.
As soon as he finished speaking, the various sects and Zhao family monks on the war boat, led by their respective leaders, charged towards the monster beasts below.
Zhao Zhengdong and Tu Baoyun each waved their treasure weapons and killed the White Gold Ape.
Jiang Kaishan also rushed towards the Thunder Rhinoceros. Zhang Peng and Li Jinshu looked at each other and followed closely behind.
On the war boat, Chen Ling did not jump off the war boat with the others.
As his spiritual consciousness swept across, he quickly discovered the funnel-shaped mountain peak recorded on the jade slip.
It's a hundred and seventy or eighty miles to the right of the giant peak.
Boom!
In a moment, the monks and monsters were killed, with lights of all colors shining and flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Chen Ling quietly flew away from the battlefield.
However, the distance of more than a hundred miles can only be regarded as a marginal distance for the Yuanying monks and the fourth-order monsters, and they may be affected at any time.
As soon as he landed at the foot of the mountain, he was surrounded by a world filled with evil mist.
But now these evil fogs have no effect on him at all.
Before it even got close to him, it evaporated and disappeared under the hot breath in his body.
There is a slight trace of spiritual energy exuding in the evil mist, which should be the existence of spiritual veins nearby.
Chen Ling couldn't help but feel happy. If it was as expected, these spiritual energy should have been released by Patriarch Wang's cave.
According to the jade slip given by Wang Xi, this cave is a small secret realm established by Patriarch Wang, and it is also quite rich in spiritual energy.
Chen Ling swept through it with his spiritual consciousness and quickly figured out the terrain of this mountain range, and compared it with the route recorded in the jade slips.
Slowly, he roughly figured out the specific location of the cave.
Boom!
At this time, in the evil mist, several second-level black-armored apes discovered Chen Ling, and all attacked Chen Ling.
Seeing six second-level giant beasts flying towards him, Chen Ling's expression showed no emotion. These second-level monsters no longer posed any threat to him.
Suddenly, a red flame bombarded from the air, and a golden flame sword swept across.
There was just a banging explosion, the golden fire sword swept across, and the black-armored giant ape's body exploded one after another, and was killed instantly.
A look of pity appeared on Chen Ling's face.
If it were normal times, these second-order giant apes would naturally be collected and refined into puppets.
But time was running out now, and he couldn't delay at all.
So let Golden Fire Crow take action directly.
Then, continue to operate your spiritual consciousness.
The evil mist on the ground was thick, and his consciousness was greatly suppressed.
Fortunately, the location of the cave has been found within a few thousand feet.
Chen Ling jumped onto the back of the Golden Fire Crow and flew straight into the valley.
A few dozen miles further on, we will find the target cave.
