Chapter 1631 (Raw 1613): Rapidly Rising Strength

One hour later, Xiao Chen saw the Black Cutlass pirate ship, which was rushing over, as he stood on a Cold Steel Eagle.

Xiao Suo and the others stood at the bow of the ship. When they saw the two Cold Steel Eagles flying over, they were frightened pale.

The Cold Steel Eagle, one of the bona fide tyrants of the sea!

Just as Xiao Suo was about to go around, he noticed something wrong: someone was waving at them on one of the Cold Steel Eagles.

"It's the captain. It's Big Brother Xiao Chen!" Fei`er shouted joyfully after clearly seeing what was going on. Her eyes were very sharp.

Xiao Suo rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "Damn, it really is! He went to harvest Life Juice Source, so how did he end up subduing two Cold Steel Eagles?!"

When Xiao Chen landed on the pirate ship, he quickly ordered Xiao Suo to turn around. By now, the group from the Beast Governing Sect should have noticed that something was wrong.

After the Beast Governing Sect's group lost so much, if he ran into it again, he would have to be careful.

Half a day later, the group from the Beast Governing Sect still had not sought Xiao Chen out. He finally heaved a sigh of relief at pulling through this calamity.

"Captain, the pirate ship was submerged at the bottom of the sea for too long. Many parts were severely corroded. There is even some damage. Its speed, defense, and performance are no longer optimal."

Xiao Suo came forward and reported the ship's condition to Xiao Chen.

That made sense too. The ship had been surrounded by a shoal of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks and moved about underwater. Even with a formation protecting it, damage was unavoidable.

Xiao Chen looked up and asked, "Is there no way to fix it?"

Logically speaking, there definitely would be a specialist in ship repair aboard. Furthermore, most of the crew understood the structure of ships very well, so they would have a certain amount of capability in performing repairs.

"For simple problems, we can make do in a bad situation, but there are some things that are beyond us. The work of fixing a pirate ship is very complicated, involving formations, refining, and an understanding of structures, knowing the properties of metal, and many more," Xiao Suo explained with a bitter smile while shaking his head.

Now, Xiao Chen understood. He had indeed oversimplified some things in his mind.

Xiao Suo suggested, "We need to go to a Pirate Alliance base or a large harbor to find a specialist to fix it."

"We can only do that."

Now, the journey was delayed again. Feeling helpless, Xiao Chen sighed softly.

The aim of this trip was to avoid the pursuit of the Black Lotus Church, to go to Senior Ye Zifeng's sect. There was still a long journey ahead.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Xiao Suo, distribute these fifty kilograms of Life Juice Source to everyone."

Xiao Chen took out fifty kilograms of silver Life Juice Source and handed it to Xiao Suo for distribution to the ship's many crewmembers.

"Life Juice Source!"

"What a pure Life Juice Source! It is silver! This is superior grade Life Juice Source."

The crew of the pirate ship was incredibly excited, all of the members pleasantly surprised.

Life Juice Source was worth cities. Its efficiency went without saying. It was not something that these crewmembers would get to see, much less use.

However, today, not only did these crewmembers get to see it, but they even got a share of it. Their joy was naturally indescribable.

"Captain, you really managed to collect Life Juice Source!" Xiao Suo looked at Xiao Chen with incredulity, his gaze brimming with respect. To think that Xiao Chen dared to adventure in the Black Star Sawtooth Shark nest!

Just this courage alone was awe-inspiring. Xiao Chen really managed to get his hands on Life Juice Source.

Xiao Chen nodded and then looked at Xiao Suo, Luo Nan, and Fei`er. "Come with me."

After entering the captain's quarters and verifying that no one else was around, Xiao Chen took out one hundred seventy-five kilograms of golden Life Juice Source and split it between the three.

Xiao Suo's cultivation was higher and could absorb more, so Xiao Chen gave him twenty-five kilograms more than the others.

"This…this…this is too precious! Captain, we can't take this."

"Right, right, right. Just silver Life Juice Source is enough. Captain, you should keep this for yourself. Fifty kilograms each is too much; we simply can't accept this."

Xiao Suo, Fei`er, and Luo Nan were all stunned. The silver Life Juice Source was already very shocking.

Who could have dreamed that after Xiao Chen went into the room, the Life Juice Source that he distributed to them would be golden? They had never even heard of it before.

This clearly showed how precious and rare it was, completely surpassing everyone's expectations.

What was even more unexpected that was Xiao Chen could bear to give out so much golden Life Juice Source for them to use. This was simply unimaginable.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Take it. My harvest on this trip is much greater than you can imagine. Since you are following me, I naturally have to treat you well. If you become stronger, you will be of greater help to me."

After Xiao Chen eased their concerns, the three excitedly put away the golden Life Juice Source. They quickly returned to absorb and refine it.

Needless to say, after absorbing the Life Juice Source, the ordinary crew, Xiao Suo, Luo Nan, and Fei`er would experience a qualitative breakthrough.

Xiao Chen walked out of the captain's quarters and arrived at the crow's-nest of the pirate ship. Then, he waved his hand, and Little Yellow Feather came down, leading the Cold Steel Eagles over.

Smiling, he took out the golden Life Juice Source to feed these two Cold Steel Eagles.

After this, these two Cold Steel Eagles would be of great use. He needed them to go and hunt for ferocious beasts to nourish the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation.

Xiao Chen wanted to light up one pearl as soon as possible, to strengthen the Yazi Beast Demon Soul and improve the combat prowess of the entire pirate ship by a large margin.

As for Little Yellow Feather, it sniffed the golden Life Juice Source and drank it like it was water. Then, it even shook its head to indicate that it was not nice to drink.

There was no reaction from Little Yellow Feather's body at all, making Xiao Chen feel some heartache since he had wasted quite a lot of Life Juice Source.

This was because Little Yellow Feather was a pure-blooded Golden Crow, a Holy Beast. It was equal to a pure-blooded Azure Dragon Holy Beast. The quality of its bloodline was already as high as it could be. Of course, the Life Juice Source would be useless to it.

Little Yellow Feather only required time to grow, occasionally gaining access to the memories of the seniors in its bloodline.

Little Yellow Feather would quickly grow stronger without any bottleneck or any need to cultivate. Its eventual strength would be heaven-defying.

This was an existence that would cause other's eyes to go green with envy, an innate strength.

However, Xiao Chen felt it was strange as well. Back then, he had found the Golden Crow Egg under the Longevity Tree in the Sky Dome Immortal Realm.

Could the Sky Dome Immortal Lord have left it behind on purpose to give Xiao Chen a helper in this Epoch?

Of course, that was possible. However, it might be due to some other reasons as well.

----

Three days later:

Xiao Chen had bathed in the golden Life Juice Source several times. After going through repeated cleansing, his physique improved continuously.

Mysteriously, he felt a strong energy rushing about in the blood flowing through his body.

Xiao Chen's body became sturdier, and his Azure Dragon bloodline, much thicker.

After absorbing and refining close to two hundred fifty kilograms of golden Life Juice Source, he discovered that his body was slowly acclimatizing to the horrible environment of the starry sea.

Xiao Chen's speed and Movement Technique had already recovered to half of how they were outside, making him feel extremely gratified.

If he ran into the Cold Steel Eagles again, he would not be in such a miserable situation again. Of course…the Cold Steel Eagles were already his pets.

"Right now, my physical body can be considered excellent among the Grave Sea's Primal Core Venerates. The Major Primal Core Venerates would not be much stronger than me."

Xiao Chen took in a deep breath, feeling his entire body fill with energy.

However, to his surprise, the one who experienced the biggest change from the Life Juice Source was not him.

Instead, it was Luo Nan and Fei`er. These two's physical bodies had never absorbed expensive or precious natural treasures. The effect that the Life Juice Source had on them was a true rebirth, a heaven-defying change of fate.

The two of them broke through the Yang Essence Stage and reached the half-step Primal Core Stage, becoming several times stronger.

When Xiao Chen heard this, at first, he was stunned. Then, he understood.

Everyone's body had a certain amount of resistance to medicine. The first time one used a natural treasure would have the best effect. Furthermore, these two's cultivations were not high, and their accumulations were not as vast as Xiao Chen's. Such an effect was logical.

Xiao Suo's improvement was also a pleasant surprise. He raised his cultivation to peak Minor Primal Core Realm under the influence of the Life Juice Source.

Xiao Chen's physique continuously grew stronger after being cleansed several times. Now, his combat prowess was no weaker than that of Primal Core Venerates who grew up in the Grave Sea.

In fact, he might even be stronger. The effects of the highest-quality Life Juice Source was indeed somewhat startling.

Xiao Chen was flabbergasted. For the next year and a half, the effects of the Life Juice Source would slowly reveal themselves.

The combat prowess of the ship's crew would be greatly improved.

Xiao Chen simply handed out some more Life Juice Source to Xiao Suo and the others, earning their heartfelt gratitude.

"Captain, we will arrive at the nearest Pirate Alliance base in another seven days," Xiao Suo reported.

Xiao Suo's aura was more solid and vaster than before; his strength had increased significantly.

"At that time, we can ask around to find out which sect this Senior Ye Zifeng is in. Captain, you also can take the chance to take the tests to raise your grade," Xiao Suo suggested to Xiao Chen.

"After you raised your captain grade, you will gain many benefits and privileges in the Pirate Alliance."
