"Huh?" Xiao Ruoling exclaimed in surprise, picking up two of the demon crystals and examining them closely.
Chu Zhiyuan wielded the Bright Moon Blade and continued forward, as a constant stream of flying fish rushed towards him.
He walked into the sea while swinging his blade, and wherever he went, the flying fish were cut in half and fell.
As he went further in, the attackers were no longer just flying fish.
Even the fish that had been chasing him earlier, including some larger ones, shrank their bodies and continued their attacks.
After Chu Zhiyuan approached the land, he felt confident and switched from fleeing to chasing and killing.
He wanted to see if these fish feared death and if he could kill them all.
Fish meat and blood churned in the water, attracting more fish, making the sea seem to boil.
Chu Zhiyuan stood about thirty meters below the water's surface, no longer advancing, and continued to swing his blade.
The Bright Moon Blade became increasingly transparent.
In particular, the scattered demon crystals merged into the blade, accelerating its transformation into transparency.
The Glazed Blade Sutra circulated within him, and his progress advanced rapidly. He knew it intuitively.
This Glazed Blade Sutra was also a method for rapid advancement, just like the Dragon Transformation Art.
But it required external assistance.
The quick way to master the Glazed Blade Sutra was to absorb demon crystals. Demon crystals were the best aid for refining the Glazed Blade, and a continuous stream of them fell onto the blade.
The blade became increasingly transparent.
He felt the connection between the blade and himself growing stronger, as natural as an extension of his arm.
The Bright Moon Blade itself carried power.
He didn't need to wield it himself; with a thought, it would move on its own.
His own strength combined with its power felt like a dual-blade combination, faster and stronger.
This feeling was wonderful, as if one person had become two, forming a coordinated attack like a formation.
Demon crystals fell like raindrops, and the Bright Moon Blade became a vortex, absorbing them.
The demon crystals landed on the Bright Moon Blade, disappearing like a clay ox entering the sea, quickly merging into the blade.
After a quarter of an hour, when the surrounding fish became sparse and no longer attacked him, he had reached the perfection of the second stage, the Glazed Blade.
The next stage was Spirit Infusion.
He glanced around, seeing that the sea had turned red, a mixture of blood and flesh, looking like a sea of blood, both magnificent and gruesome.
Fortunately, he had the Water Aversion Pearl, which prevented the seawater from touching his body, otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable and itchy all over.
He stopped advancing and retreated back to the island.
Xiao Ruoling had already collected all the demon crystals, which looked like a small pile of transparent gems.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Not a small harvest."
Xiao Ruoling looked at the sea of blood not far away and shook her head, saying, "These fish are really..."
It was just that they were not as aggressive and did not actively attack him from hundreds of meters away.
The dead big fish, however, had rushed over to kill him from two hundred meters away.
Clearly, it had seen the light from two hundred meters away and had an excellent sense of smell, sensing the difference between the two of them.
"Do you want to explore further?" Xiao Ruoling asked with a smile. She wrinkled her nose.
At this moment, the stench of fish meat and blood became even stronger, making her head feel dizzy.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Let's take a look around this island first and see if there's anything good."
"Then let's go take a look!" Xiao Ruoling's spirits lifted. Chu Zhiyuan suddenly flicked his sleeve.
Immediately, sand and stones flew, and the sand and flesh fell onto the distant sea surface, stirring up the sea water again, and the fish jumped out of the water, fighting for the flesh and blood of their own kind.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
The ocean in this secret realm is really dangerous.
The two of them went around the entrance and began searching on the island. After a full circle, they actually found a Nine-Yang Grass.
This was in the catalog of over a thousand kinds of natural treasures and was a first-order spirit herb.
"Good luck," Chu Zhiyuan picked it and put it into a cold jade box, handing it to Xiao Ruoling: "It wasn't a wasted trip."
Xiao Ruoling pushed it back to him, smiling: "This is for you, it will help your cultivation technique."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "My Purple Yang True Scripture can't take spirit herbs, let you refine it into a spirit pill."
Xiao Ruoling hesitated.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Why are we two so polite with each other, just take it."
Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and smiled as she took it.
This Nine-Yang Grass can be refined into a Warm Yang Pill, which has great benefits for regulating her body and mind.
For the Moon Invitation Palace, it is indeed a top-notch spirit herb. The two walked around the island again.
Chu Zhiyuan was quite disappointed.
He originally thought there would be a cave dwelling, but there were no traces of humans.
This is an island that no one has ever been to.
Yun Qiuhua opened her eyes, smiling at the two who suddenly appeared, and said with a smile: "How's the harvest?"
She didn't think Chu Zhiyuan would have any harvest.
"A Nine-Yang Grass." Xiao Ruoling handed over the small cold jade box and smiled: "Is this the Nine-Yang Grass?"
"Eh?" Yun Qiuhua examined it for a while, then looked up at Chu Zhiyuan and then at Xiao Ruoling.
Xiao Ruoling asked with a smile: "Elder, is it right?"
"It is indeed the Nine-Yang Grass." Yun Qiuhua looked back and forth on Chu Zhiyuan's face, smiling: "Who found this?"
"Naturally, it was him." Xiao Ruoling smiled sweetly: "I don't have such good eyesight."
The Nine-Yang Grass is located in an extremely Yin place.
It was located in a pile of weeds and was almost impossible to find, but it could not be hidden from Chu Zhiyuan.
"Then give it to us?" Yun Qiuhua smiled playfully: "Young Lord, you are too generous."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I can't always take things from the Moon Invitation Palace."
Yun Qiuhua said: "From today onwards, if there are any spirit pills in the palace that the Young Lord needs, feel free to take them, and the Holy Maiden should not have any concerns either."
Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and nodded with a smile.
The Moon Invitation Palace also has many first-grade spirit pills that are not inferior to the Nine-Yang Grass in efficacy.
As the Holy Maiden, she could not take them at will.
Now, Chu Zhiyuan can choose them, which is repaying kindness with kindness. Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Then I won't be polite."
Yun Qiuhua smiled: "We won't be polite with the Young Lord, and the Young Lord doesn't need to be polite with us."
Chu Zhiyuan looked at the crimson pill in front of him and turned to look at Xiao Ruoling: "Is this your healing elixir, the Nine-Revolution Soul Returning Pill?"
"It is the Nine-Revolution Soul Returning Pill." Xiao Ruoling smiled and said: "Even if someone dies, they can be brought back to life within an hour."
"That's so amazing!"
"This is refined from the Soul Returning Grass. Would you like to try one now?" This time, she directly took two.
Although Yun Qiuhua said that all the spirit pills of the Moon Invitation Palace were not restricted to Chu Zhiyuan, she was embarrassed to take too many.
Two Nine-Revolution Soul Returning Pills are two lives. Chu Zhiyuan picked up one and put it in his mouth.
As soon as the elixir touched his saliva, it immediately turned into a wisp of pure air, like mercury, falling straight down, and quickly spreading throughout his body as soon as it reached his stomach.
His body was surrounded and wrapped by a warm aura, as if he had returned to his mother's womb.
The seventh level of the Dragon Transformation Art quickly circulated.
His flesh and blood suddenly felt numb, as if electric currents were flowing through him, as if there was a constant stream of electricity flowing.
His flesh and blood were quickly becoming firmer and purer. Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and looked inward.
The pure air that floated towards his internal organs was quickly absorbed by the golden Qi of the Dragon Transformation Art and transformed into the aura of the Dragon Transformation Art.
The changes in his flesh and blood were far faster than all his previous hard work.
As expected, it is a spirit pill refined from natural treasures!
