Chapter 1756: Huge Winds and Waves, Unexpected Gains

"eccentric?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

Although he knew that Xue Hailing was very powerful.

But nothing unusual was ever seen.

Hearing Wu Zhaomei say this, Chen Xuan was inexplicably shocked.

After carefully recalling his interactions with Xue Hailing, Chen Xuan still didn't find any problems.

"Mei'er, I don't find anything strange about Fairy Xue!" Chen Xuan shook his head and said softly.

"Hehe, my husband, you definitely can't see any clues. The reason I say this is based on my intuition. I feel that Fairy Xue is not a cultivator like us in the world of immortal cultivation. Her cultivation level is definitely not in the middle stage of tribulation!" Wu Zhaomei chuckled.

"Perhaps, but it's true that Fairy Xue has no ill will towards us. Now that we've found the ancient stone carvings, there's no need for us to linger here. Let's go!"

Chen Xuan muttered softly, and left quickly with Wu Zhaomei and others, heading towards the depths of the Tianfeng Star Sea.

However, they didn't know that long after Chen Xuan and others left, Xue Hailing suddenly appeared where they had just stood.

At this moment, several powerful men who were in the late stage of tribulation and great perfection appeared in front of Xue Hailing.

The aura emanating from these people is all extremely terrifying.

When they looked at Xue Hailing, their expressions were very respectful.

"Miss, are you sure you want to let those ants go like this?"

A middle-aged man who was leading the group and had reached the great perfection of the late stage of tribulation looked at Xue Hailing with a serious expression.

Xue Hailing raised her eyebrows and soon blinked her long eyelashes slightly.

"Old Qin, Fellow Daoist Chen, and the others are merely cultivators from the lower planes. They pose no threat to me. Let's not kill them to silence them."

"Besides, they helped me complete this mission. They are a debt of gratitude to me."

"If I kill them, I will be affected by many karmas."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded immediately.

"Miss, you are right. If that's the case, we should return to the True Immortal Realm as soon as possible to prevent your father from worrying!"

"Yes. This time, we came here for the ancient stone carving. I secretly sent a message to you, asking you to take away the ancient stone carving. Did you do it?" Xue Hailing said.

"Reporting to Miss, we have put away the ancient stone carvings a long time ago. Hehe, those short-sighted cultivators in the lower planes thought that the ancient stone carvings had completely disappeared." said the middle-aged man.

Xue Hailing raised her eyebrows. "They're not short-sighted. It's just that the environment they live in is different from ours. If they lived in the True Immortal Realm, do you really think you could hide this from them with your methods?"

"But this time, our mission has been completed. There's no need to linger here. Let's leave now!"

The middle-aged man agreed.

Soon, he flipped his palm quickly and took out a palm-sized star plate.

As a powerful spiritual power was injected into it, a terrifying spatial force suddenly emerged from the Tianxing Plate and enveloped everyone.

In just a moment, the power of space swept everyone away and made them disappear into thin air.

It was as if these people had never appeared.

Chen Xuan and others naturally didn't know that Xue Hailing, who was with them just now, was not a cultivator from the world of immortal cultivation, but a true immortal from the world of true immortals.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Chen Xuan.

At this moment, he, with Wu Zhaomei and others, continued to walk towards the depths of Tianfeng Star Sea.

The deeper they went into the Tianfeng Star Sea, the more islands Chen Xuan and his companions encountered.

There are more and more powerful monsters around the island.

At this time, Chen Xuan and others saw that many cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage actually started killing monsters and taking pills here.

After being killed, they discarded the corpses of many powerful monsters into the sea at will.

This made Chen Xuan look curious.

"Among these slain demon beasts, the lowest cultivation level was at the early stage of Tribulation Crossing. If left outside, the corpses of these Tribulation Crossing demon beasts could be sold for a lot of top-grade spirit stones."

"But now, these cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage have actually abandoned all these monster corpses?"

"Could it be that, besides demon cores, the demon beasts they killed contained other valuable items?"

Chen Xuan looked curious.

As he spoke, the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eyes opened instantly.

He could see clearly all the monsters hiding in the dark within a radius of dozens of miles.

With a thought, he activated the Dragon-Seeking Sword instantly.

hum!

A barely perceptible sound was heard.

The Dragon-Seeking Sword turned into a shadow and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he was already over a hundred feet away.

At this moment, the corpse of a monster lurking in the depths of the sea gradually surfaced.

Chen Xuan did not hesitate.

With a casual move of his hand, the corpse of the monster appeared in front of him.

At this moment, the Dragon-Seeking Sword cut the monster's body in two pieces in a few strokes.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was surprised to find that in addition to the demon pill, there was also a fist-sized round bead emitting a faint and relaxing light in the body of this demon beast.

This round bead looks ordinary, but after Chen Xuan scanned it with his divine sense, he was shocked to find that this round bead actually has the miraculous effect of blocking wind-attribute attacks.

This made Chen Xuan's expression suddenly become extremely surprised.

"It's actually a top-grade Wind-Fixing Bead? No wonder so many corpses of Tribulation-Transcending Demonic Beasts were so carelessly abandoned."

"It turns out that these monsters contain real treasures from heaven and earth!"

"If that's the case, we can't sit idle."

Chen Xuan, who understood the reason, quickly shared the latest information he had learned with everyone.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Demonic Gu Sect, Zhenren Tianfu, Fairy Jiannan, Fairy Qinghua, and Wu Zhaomei couldn't help but look ecstatic.

They were already impatient and ready to hunt down the nearby Tribulation-crossing monster beasts.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Everyone, hunting monsters and competing for natural treasures is nothing wrong. However, you must also pay attention to safety. When we hunt monsters later, don't be too far away. It will be convenient for us to support each other."

Everyone nodded and quickly dispersed, each looking for a monster to hunt.

Chen Xuan and Wu Zhaomei were not in a hurry.

After waiting for everyone to leave for a long time, Chen Xuan looked at Wu Zhaomei with a mysterious smile.

"Mei'er, let's go, it's time for us to take action!"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan had an idea and directly put all the corpses of the large number of monsters nearby into the Fairy Beast Tower and threw them to the gold-eating insect swarm.

These monsters were all in the Tribulation Crossing Stage when they were alive.

The strength of each one is unquestionable.

Although their flesh and blood are looked down upon by the old monsters in the Tribulation Period, they are good things to feed the gold-eating insects.

Chen Xuan naturally would not waste it.

A moment later, Chen Xuan brought Wu Zhaomei to a demon beast in the middle stage of tribulation.

Before Chen Xuan could make a move, Wu Zhaomei flipped her hand and a long sword suddenly appeared in her hand.

It was the fake immortal weapon that he bought for Wu Zhaomei from the auction house of the Honglu Chamber of Commerce last time.

The moment the spiritual power was injected into it, the pseudo-immortal sword in Wu Zhaomei's hand flew out of her hand, turned into a residual image, and quickly disappeared from the spot.

When the flying sword appeared again, the demon beast in the middle stage of tribulation hiding in the sea rushed out of the water in panic, trying to escape from the pursuit of the long sword.

At this moment, a terrifying divine thought suddenly burst out from Chen Xuan’s Niwan Palace.

hum!

In a moment, this divine thought turned into an invisible spear and directly stabbed the monster in the middle stage of tribulation.

The monster in the middle stage of tribulation had no time to dodge and could only watch as the invisible spear of divine consciousness pierced its body.

boom!

There was a muffled sound.

The huge body of the demon beast in the middle stage of tribulation fell directly towards the sea.

Chen Xuan's mind moved, and he activated the Dragon-Seeking Sword. He took out the demon pill and the treasures from the demon beast's body and threw them directly to Wu Zhaomei.

"Mei'er, keep it." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Wu Zhaomei looked very happy.

After saying thank you, he took the two things in his hands.

Along with the demon pill, Chen Xuan also took out a small black box.

There is an exquisite rune carved on the surface of the box.

Although it seems like a long time has passed, the runes on the surface of the box still emit a terrifying aura.

"This box must be something special. Husband, it's better for you to keep it."

Wu Zhaomei checked it carefully and threw the box directly to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan did not hesitate either.

The moment his divine consciousness landed on the box, he pointed his finger into the air.

The box, which was tightly closed, popped open with a snap.

A moment later, a strange spiritual ore the size of a fist appeared in front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan glanced at the strange spiritual mine and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"It's actually the ancient divine refining stone?"

Ancient divine refining stone!

This is a rare treasure that Chen Xuan uses to enhance the strength of his spiritual power.

Now, Chen Xuan has cultivated the middle volume of the Supreme Soul Refining Art to the great perfection realm.

If he wants to improve the strength of his spiritual power further, he must practice the middle volume of the Supreme Spirit Refining Technique to the state of great perfection.

In this case, the ancient divine refining stone to assist in cultivation is indispensable.

This is also the reason why Chen Xuan traveled thousands of miles to the Tianfeng Star Sea.

"After searching for a long time, it was finally found without any effort! Our luck is so good!" Chen Xuan said excitedly.

As he spoke, he quickly put away the ancient divine refining stone.

As for the monster's corpse, he also threw it to the gold-eating insect.

"Husband, we found an ancient spirit-refining stone here. There should be other ancient spirit-refining stones nearby. We might as well continue hunting monsters and try our luck!" Wu Zhaomei suggested.

Chen Xuan nodded.

And in the vicinity, he began to search for traces of powerful monsters.

With the strength of Chen Xuan and Wu Zhaomei, they can easily deal with a monster in the late stage of tribulation.

It is precisely because of this that they are simply invincible in the nearby waters.

All the monsters they targeted were killed by the two in a short period of time.

Three days later, when all the monsters in the nearby sea were killed, Chen Xuan finally had seven or eight ancient divine refining stones in his hands.

Although the quality of these ancient spirit-refining stones is not bad, it is not easy for Chen Xuan to use these ancient spirit-refining stones to cultivate the middle volume of the ancient spirit-refining technique to the state of great perfection.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown.

"I still have a few Ancient Divine Refining Stones. If I continue to hunt monsters and search for Ancient Divine Refining Stones, the chances of finding them aren't very high!"

Chen Xuan looked depressed.

He came to Tianfeng Star Sea this time with great hope, searching for the ancient divine refining stone.

If we return empty-handed, it would be a waste of time and effort.

Seeing Chen Xuan's frown, Wu Zhaomei said softly, "Husband, what are you thinking about?"

"Mei'er, I came here for the Ancient Spirit Refining Stones. Unfortunately, we hunted over a hundred powerful demon beasts in the Void Refining Stage, but only collected seven or eight Ancient Spirit Refining Stones. These Ancient Spirit Refining Stones are not enough for me."

Chen Xuan was speechless for a while.

Wu Zhaomei chuckled and said, "Husband, although we only have seven or eight ancient refining stones, others should have quite a few."

"How about we go find other fellow Taoists nearby and do some business?"

Wu Zhaomei's proposal immediately made Chen Xuan's eyes light up.

But the two did not act on their own.

After waiting for the leader of the Demonic Gu Sect and others to return safely, everyone rushed towards the largest island nearby.

This turned out to be a deserted island with no one living there.

Because of the opening of Tianfeng Star Sea, it has become a simple trading market.

Every day, a large number of cultivators enter.

Chen Xuan brought everyone here, not only to let everyone meditate and practice to replenish their spiritual power, but also to seek to trade the ancient divine refining stone.

There was no conversation for a while, until everyone arrived at the deserted island and opened up several caves.

Chen Xuan personally set up a protective formation in his cave before leaving alone.

Soon, Chen Xuan appeared in a free trade zone on the island.

Here, there are quite a few cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, selling things they don't need.

Chen Xuan's divine sense swept across these people's stalls one by one.

Not long after, I saw a young female cultivator’s stall with more than a dozen ancient spirit-refining stones placed on it.

This made Chen Xuan look secretly happy.

"God is truly helping me. If I can get all of these ancient divine refining stones, this trip will definitely be worthwhile."
