Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 340 Sea of ​​Chaos

As soon as the sole of Chen Jing's boot touched the deck, he crushed half of the dried monster skull.

Bone fragments mixed with old blood fell down, leaving several white marks on the rusty metal plate.

"This flying boat..." He lifted his foot to shake off the bone fragments, "was it just dug out from the cemetery?"

The wine bottle hit the mast with a bang, startling a group of iron-eating rats that were gnawing on the ropes.

God knows why there are still small animals on the boat.

The woman staggered to her feet, the bronze bells around her waist jingling, each bell face engraved with twisted spells.

"Newcomers always think it's too shabby." She burped, and suddenly a dark blue arc burst out from her fingertips. "Once you enter the Chaos Sea, you will know..."

The electric arc swept across the side of the ship, and the mottled hull suddenly became transparent; Chen Jing's pupils shrank slightly: dense soul-eating vines were entwined around the keel, and the vines were full of scarlet flowers; a translucent soul was curled up in each pistil, mechanically repeating the paddling action.

"——This 'rebirth ship' is driven by the souls of three thousand drunkards." The woman grinned, revealing her sharp fangs. "When they were alive, what they were best at was...hiccups...having fun in the chaos."

Chen Jing's heel rolled over the crack in the deck, and a dark red mycelium sprang out in response and was caught by his two fingers.

The hyphae twisted in his palm and spelled out ancient seal characters: [The flying boat of Shennong Sect was attacked by criminals. Anyone who gets this information and helps Shennong Sect kill the criminals will receive a generous reward].

"It seems you often take private jobs." He let go of the mycelium and let it escape back into the gap.

The woman suddenly came close, the smell of alcohol hitting her face: "Didn't Mo tell you? I'll charge you three times." Her nails dyed with red nails stood up one by one, "One for the Holy Land, one for the enemy, and one for the corpse collector."

The flying boat shook violently at this moment.

The soul-eating flowers wrapped around the stern of the ship turned collectively, and a distorted star map emerged between the petals.

When Chen Jing held onto the porthole, he caught a glimpse of a strange sight. Outside the window was not a sea of ​​clouds, but countless suspended coffins, each with chains extending out to wrap around the hull.

"Welcome to the Nether Passage." The woman kicked open the hatch. "Hold on tight, we have to jump over the dressing table of the 'crying old woman'..."

Before he finished speaking, the flying boat suddenly stood upright at 90 degrees.

Chen Jing used his magic power to protect himself, but saw the woman hanging upside down on the ceiling, with the wine bottle hanging steadily on her fingertips.

"That's right." She shouted over the roar, "Call me Jiu Niang!"

……

……

The world is spinning.

I don't know how many times it was reversed.

After the flying boat stabilized, Chen Jing held onto the wall, his steps unsteady.

He moved the skeletal arm that was on his shoulder, pushed away the unknown skeleton, and looked at Jiu Niang - the drunkard was hanging steadily on the top of the cabin, but he didn't even spill the wine in the gourd, and was pouring it into his mouth.

Chen Jing: "Mo Yige said he wanted to take me to see the realm clearly. Does that mean he wants to jump off a cliff in a coffin?"

Jiu Niang chuckled and took a sip of wine. "Wrong, I just want to teach you one thing. Money can buy life, wine can make you forget yourself, and the dead understand chaos best."

What a mess, I don't understand.

Chen Jing shook his head and stopped trying to understand this guy who was talking nonsense. He walked out and looked at the scenery in the chaotic sea.

The relevant descriptions of the realm in Taoist books also emerged in my mind.

There is chaos between the realms.

Just like when he created the world, from chaos, he created many things with rules and concrete meanings.

The major realms are like eggshells sinking in the sea, anchoring themselves, stabilizing themselves, expanding and developing themselves.

but.

This is only the case in the lower realms below Shenzhou.

After the creation of heaven and earth, clear air rose and turbid air fell. The current chaos, strictly speaking, is not the most essential chaos, but "turbid".

The deeper you go, the more turbid the chaos becomes, and the closer it is to the chaos when the world was first created.

The principle of flying boat crossing the boundary is actually opening the sky.

It is necessary to break through this thick turbid air and briefly "open the sky", or in other words, to clear the way.

The so-called trade route, or chaos route.

In fact, it was just a hasty "opening of the sky" to roughly anchor this chaos and prevent it from being in a completely chaotic state.

Come to think of it, if we have to build a road every time we go to a place, how ridiculous would that be.

There is a trade route.

The losses caused by flying boats will be greatly reduced, and there will be no need to go through the trouble of opening a path to connect the two places.

Chen Jing looked up and saw a large number of coffins floating in the chaos outside the rebirth ship.

Obviously, this is the so-called - Nether Channel.

Those coffins that can maintain their shapes in chaos are the cornerstones of the road. Their "orderly" and "existence" greatly reduces the resistance of the "disorderly" and "random" sea of ​​chaos, thus maintaining the existence of the road.

"The holy land is open, why is it so gloomy?"

The only thing Chen Jing wanted to complain about was the painting style.

Jiu Niang came over lazily and said, "Who told you that we are taking the main road? The business of killing people and robbing goods is of course the small road."

Seeing Chen Jing nod, she continued, "There are many forces in the lower world, too many, and the Netherworld Society is worth mentioning. It does everything. On the surface, the Netherworld Society is a chamber of commerce that roams the upper and lower worlds. In secret, it plunders people, kills people and robs them. It does everything."

Chen Jing couldn't help but recall that when he was still in the Qingnang Sect, he had received an invitation to an auction held by the Netherworld Society. He still had a deep impression of the treasure-level Yunkun flying boat.

"Is this road also built by the Netherworld?"

"I guess so. The Netherworld was once dedicated to unifying the eighteen layers of the underworld and was extremely powerful. What happened later is also well known. The Netherworld fought with the Holy Land of Shenzhou. The former Netherworld Sect became the current Chamber of Commerce and dared not set foot in the Central Plains of Shenzhou again."

Jiu Niang yawned, "But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. People from the Netherworld Society, you should be careful."

"Don't mess with them?"

"What are you talking about?" Jiu Niang turned her head and stared at him. Her long hair on the left side, which was dyed with wine red, was blown up by the wind, revealing the golden tattoo that spread from her cheek to below her neck. "I mean, don't let this fat sheep go."

The route is a bit wild.

Chen Jing asked: "What are the things we want to move?"

"Don't worry, I will teach you all these slowly." Jiu Niang turned around and leaned on the flying boat, enjoying the wind. "At least this time, there is no fighting involved."

The voice just fell.

Only a roar was heard, and the next moment, all directions of the rebirth ship were hit by horrific attacks.

The black torrent hit the flying boat with great force.

Chen Jing: "I really believed your lies!"

Jiu Niang laughed out loud: "I only said that this job doesn't involve fighting, but I didn't say that enemies won't come looking for me for the previous jobs!"

Chen Jing cried out that he was screwed, but his realm had fallen and he was too far away from his hometown. His combat power was even weaker than when he had just been promoted to the fourth realm. He could only pray that this broken ship would not explode.

Among the large number of soul-eating flowers on the rebirth ship, the remaining soul struggled hard, but was withering quickly.

Seeing this, Jiu Niang's fingertips brushed across the bell on her waist, and the bronze bell rang without wind. She stared at the gradually dimming Soul Devouring Flower and suddenly sneered: "The guys from Shennong Sect... have learned to be smart."

"How to say?"

Immediately after Jiu Niang's explanation, Chen Jing came to the stern of the ship.

The Rebirth Ship is centered around the Soul Refining Formation, which means it is driven by residual souls, and these soul-devouring flowers are the key.

The Soul-Eating Flower was affected by the Shennong Sect in an unknown way.

He caught the soul-eating flower.

The hybrid book flipped open. [Soul Devouring Flower (Five Stars)]

【Analyzing】

The latest edition of the hybridization book no longer requires Chen Jing to master the basic properties of spiritual plants before entering them into the illustrations.

It can be analyzed by holding it in your hand, but the speed is a bit slow.

[A rare spiritual plant that has undergone multiple transformations. It can devour residual souls and convert them into a large amount of spiritual power. Depending on the nature of the residual souls, the spiritual power converted will also have corresponding differences in quality...]

[Currently entering the residual soul: Drunkard's residual soul. ]

[——The soul tentacles are anesthetized, and the numb remnant soul is insensitive to everything. It can endure the long-term exploitation to the greatest extent.]

Chen Jing was slightly stunned.

It’s actually a spiritual power formation driven by spiritual plants?

However, five-star spiritual plants correspond to the five realms and are considered rare commodities no matter where they are placed.

Look at the label again.

A purple [delicate], wow, it has the same negative label as Peiyuandao, but it’s a super upgraded version.

There is also a purple one called [Mania]. Upon closer inspection, it is described as liking to destroy the surrounding environment, otherwise it would be difficult to survive.

Chen Jing had reason to believe that these soul-eating flowers were partly responsible for the dirty and messy state of this rebirth ship.

In addition, there are seven blue negative labels and three green negative labels.

It can be said that the negative buffs are stacked up completely and there is not a single positive label.

But be aware.

This thing is loaded on the flying boat and used as the core of spiritual power output.

It is equivalent to the power system of a spaceship. What’s wrong with having more negative BUFFs? It does not affect its strength.

At this time.

The spacecraft began to shake violently again.

The spiritual power shield surrounding the area also began to become unstable, and the soul-eating flowers that were scattered all over the area also showed signs of wilting.

Jiu Niang was still laughing wildly, "People from Shennong Realm? You are hiding your head and showing your tail. You dare not show your head when you come to seek revenge on me? Among the people I have offended recently, only you are the most proficient in the way of spiritual plants. Who else can specifically affect my Soul Devouring Flower except you!"

"Hmph, Jiu Niang, you killed my sect's disciples and looted my sect's flying boat. I must kill you today!"

The person behind the scenes also revealed himself.

It was a dark green, glowing flying boat covered with mycelium, like a large dandelion. At this moment, spores were constantly gushing out, spreading throughout the surrounding chaotic sea, releasing a black spiritual power shock.

Jiu Niang shouted, "If it were any other day, I would have fought you, but today we have work to do and can't make any mistakes. You're lucky!"

At this time.

The soul-devouring flower bloomed, the buds were deep red, and the large number of residual souls inside it let out fierce howls, and their movements became faster.

"She's trying to escape, stop her!"

Several vines stretched out from the Shennong Sect's flying boat and coiled around like giant pythons, but were repelled by the electric arcs protecting the rebirth ship.

Jiu Niang's eyes were stern: "I won't give up unless I teach you a lesson today!"

The bronze bell hanging from her waist tinkled.

The runes lit up one by one.

I saw that the coffins in the city in the surrounding area also made clanging sounds.

"Woo~~"

The strange and mournful weeping sound echoed in the chaotic sea.

A young cultivator on the Shennong Sect flying boat was shocked. "What kind of Taoism is this that can resonate with this netherworld route?"

"This is what is called a flying boat hunter."

Beside him, the old man with white hair and beard had a serious expression on his face: "You are able to travel around the lower world, rob flying boats and leave a name behind. You are indeed not someone you can easily deal with. 'Red Coffin Nine Lady', huh? If I take you down, your name will just make Shennong Sect famous."

He waved his hand and said, "Please call the precious tree!" Then he saw the flying boat of Shennong Sect began to grow roots in the void and took root in the chaos.

Lush golden leaves quickly grew on each branch.

The huge tree seemed like a giant stretching its body, opening its huge and boundless eyes and looking at this chaotic world.

Chen Jing was shocked. The golden tree that blocked out the sun in the chaotic sea was majestic and magnificent. It emanated vast spiritual power. Under the shining of the golden light, the chaos looked like golden waves and rays of light.

He turned around and looked at Jiu Niang.

Jiu Niang was originally wearing a gray shawl with a white cloth strip wrapped around her chest, revealing her slender waist and collarbone.

At this time, the clothes she was wearing turned into red gauze, and she changed from a sloppy drunkard to a heavily made-up, charming and seductive female elf.

She swung the bronze bell gently.

Jingle bell, jingle bell.

In the chaos, the coffin was pounding with ancient resentment. The coffin trembled slightly, and a crack slowly appeared.

In an instant, the black smoke obscured the golden light from the golden tree.

Chen Jing felt a little relieved in his heart. It seemed that Jiu Niang had some skills.

however.

He quickly noticed something was wrong.

The large number of soul-devouring flowers under his feet were withering and dying at an alarming speed, and the residual souls contained in them were turning into ashes in an extremely miserable way.

next moment.

The flying boat shook violently, and crashed straight through the thick chaotic sea beneath its feet and plunged into the depths.

And far away.

On the Shennong Sect flying boat, a young disciple shouted: "She wants to escape!"

"Hmph, trying to hide in the Chaos Sea? How far can your Rebirth Ship open up in the Chaos? Breaking through the blockade must have consumed a lot of spiritual energy."

The old man from Shennong Sect smiled as if everything was under control.

"Let's chase her and take her head. The head of 'Red Coffin Nine Lady' will definitely help our Shennong Sect gain prestige in the Jinghai Alliance."

I saw the Shennong Sect's flying boat and the golden tree condensing a huge light, dispelling the black resentment emerging from the coffin, and then it pushed aside the chaotic sea and dived down.

Chen Jing also came back to his senses from his sudden escape. He hurried back to the bow, only to see Jiu Niang lying on the ground with a pale face and barely breathing.

"Chen Jing, hurry up..."

"What do you want!"

"In front..." She struggled to put her hand deep in front of her and pointed, "My..." When Chen Jing looked in the direction of the voice, he was speechless. "——My wine, bring it over."

Chen Jing's forehead veins twitched slightly: "You still want to drink?"

"What else can I do?" Seeing that Chen Jing had no intention of helping, Jiu Niang struggled to crawl on the ground twice, hooked the wine gourd, and poured it into her mouth skillfully, "Did you forget what I said? There are only three things in the Chaos Sea: money can buy life, wine can make you forget yourself, and the dead understand chaos best..."

"I still don't understand, but you'd better tell me the important things."

Chen Jing looked back and saw a golden light approaching from behind the rebirth ship.

"——Otherwise there will be no chance to explain!"
