Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 72 Silver Beads
Dongyuan, Nanwangyang, Shanbo Island.

The island was extremely small, with fine white sand and mottled shadows of trees. An old man in a jet-black robe looked not far away with a puzzled expression, pacing back and forth.

The figure of a woman in a white dress with intricate ribbons on the edge of her skirt emerged from the waves, parting the dark blue water and coming onto the shore.

When the woman in white saw the old man in black robe, she hurried forward with a worried look on her face, saying:
"Mr. Zhang, that Hai Xiangqing is dead."

Zhang Gong raised his eyebrows, not looking surprised.

"When I saw a bolt of lightning falling from the land where he was cultivating, I knew something was going to happen. I didn't expect him to die right away."

"It doesn't matter. He's just here to make up the numbers. I'll be breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining soon, and then I can open the passage in the cave on my own."

"How about you, Crystal Girl? How was your harvest today?"

The woman in the white dress stepped forward quickly and spread out her right hand, in which were six dark blue beads.

The Crystal Goddess looked excited and said with a smile:

"The records of the Fubo Mansion are indeed correct. The harvest of the Sea Eye is indeed getting better and better."

Mr. Zhang standing aside remained very calm, showing no emotion, and just took something out of his arms.

A silver gem.

As soon as this thing appeared, the crystal girl's expression changed immediately. Greed and fear appeared on her face. She took a step forward and said in a low voice:

"But it's from your sea eye?"

Mr. Zhang said nothing, but just smiled and handed it forward. The greed on the crystal girl's face became more intense, and she reached out to take it.

However, she was completely unaware that a straight, gun-like black tentacle stretched out from the white sand behind her. It flashed with black light and suddenly rose up and pierced her head.

The woman in the white dress immediately collapsed to the ground, looked over in disbelief, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.

Zhang Gong had a grim expression on his face. He waved his sleeves and turned around, and the six ghost consciousness beads on the ground fell into his hands.

Many shrimp soldiers and crab generals came out of the sea and lined up one by one in front of this Zhang Gong.

"Go and seize the two sea eyes owned by Shuijingnu and Haixiangqing, and tell the monsters there that I am now in charge of the three sea eyes."

The old man in black robe gave the order, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Let's first check Hai Xiangqing's situation. If any powerful monsters come, we'll deal with them first."

A blue crab in the late stage of fetal breathing below received the order and was about to lead a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to the two sea eyes, but unexpectedly, bursts of thunder were heard in the distance, and a thundercloud rushed over, and a blue dragon and three monsters fell down.

Zhang Gong's face changed when he saw that the green dragon had already landed in front of him. Even with his sixth level of Qi Refining cultivation, he couldn't tell whether it was real or fake.

The monster's mind raced, and he stepped forward with a smile, bowed and said respectfully:

"Greetings, sir. I wonder what brings you here, little demon?"

After all, he is an old monster who has lived for a long time and has a wide range of knowledge. Although the green dragon in front of him does not seem to be a direct descendant of the Dragon Palace, it is a dragon after all, and is very noble.

"This place has been sealed for so long, how could there be other monsters?"

Even though Mr. Zhang was confused, he did not dare to show any abnormal emotions and greeted him with a smile.

When Xu Xuan first arrived on the island, he found something strange. The island was located to the north of the reef, and logically should be closer to the land, but when viewed from the island, the shore seemed even farther away.

"Are you that Zhang Gong?"

"Exactly. I wonder what brings you here, sir?"

Mr. Zhang looked calm and his voice was respectful.

"How long will it take to fly from here to the ferry crossing in the middle of the country?"

Xu Xuan asked casually in a calm voice, but Zhang Gong below had a strange look on his face and said:
"Reporting to the Lord, I'm afraid we can't get outside this area."

Zhang Gong looked at the little demons around him. Xu Xuan understood and asked them to retreat. Then he continued to explain:

"Although this place belongs to the Southern Ocean, it is actually on the edge of the land and has already fallen halfway into the void. We cannot go elsewhere, and other monsters cannot enter either."

"If you fly in all directions, you will never see the edge. Even the scenery not far away is just an illusion."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan understood. No wonder these three Qi Refining-level monsters could occupy the three sea eyes and obtain such spiritual objects.

He flipped his hand and took out a dark blue bead, with an amused look on his face, and asked in a deep voice:
"What exactly is this thing? And which road did you take to reach this cave?"

He slightly revealed his late Qi Refining cultivation, and the Zhang Gong looked even more respectful, and quickly replied:
"My Lord, the Cave Abyss is also considered a world, so it naturally has its own products. This Nether Consciousness Pearl is a specialty of the South Ocean, and is beneficial to spiritual consciousness. As for how the little demon got here..."

Zhang Gong showed a bit of embarrassment on his face and said in a low voice:
"I hope you will go with me to take a look. The road is inside the sea eye below."

"Oh, let's go and take a look together."

This Zhang Gong led the way first, and Xu Xuan followed behind him to guard against him taking action.

The little monsters around all dispersed. Zhang Gong's lower body turned into countless black tentacles and dived into the sea. Xu Xuan transformed himself into a green dragon and dived down with it.

Under the Shanbo Island is a sea eye, which is extremely deep. Looking down, one can only see deep darkness.

Beside the sea eye stood a towering blue jade stele, several dozen feet tall. Carved upon it were two ancient silver characters: "Fu Bo." "Sir, the passage is through this stele. Please come closer and take a closer look."

Mr. Zhang stepped forward first, his tone still very respectful, and asked Xu Xuan to come forward.

Xu Xuan just gently swung his dragon body, looked at the other party with his dragon head, and did not move forward, but said:

"That's not necessary. I can just watch from here."

Mr. Zhang's expression changed slightly, and he smiled and said:
"I think it would be better for you, my Lord, to come and observe."

The tentacles of Zhang Gong in front of him were close to the giant monument. Blue light surged and fell on his tentacles, turning into a bright blue spear. He sneered, took out six silver beads and swallowed them.

The monster's aura instantly rose, and its soul grew stronger, almost on par with Xu Xuan's spiritual consciousness.

"You are so arrogant. Do you really think I have no other options? If you die here, no one will know."

The other party seemed confident that he could take down Xu Xuan, and the murderous intent in his words was not concealed at all.

Xu Xuan looked at the spear in the other party's hand with confusion. This thing looks a bit like a magic weapon?

This is a cave abyss, and magical weapons cannot be brought in. Xu Xuan had previously tried to bring Dan Ting's weapon spirit in, but was blocked by the portal.

"If this thing is truly a magical tool, then it is a spiritual artifact, specifically designed to target the soul."

This discovery cheered up Xu Xuan, and he took the monster in front of him a little more seriously. He moved with lightning, took the initiative to kill it.

However, Mr. Zhang had a smile on his face. Ever since he inherited the [Fubo Mansion] and had been running this pearl-diving ground for so many years, his spiritual power alone was enough to be compared with cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

"If it weren't for the power required to open this path, why would I have to find those two useless people? But it doesn't matter. I'll kill this official in front of me, then return to the South Sea, break through the seventh level, and go anywhere."

This Zhang Gong showed great confidence, raised the bright blue spear and shot it forward.

Xu Xuanlong leaped up, broke through the sea water, and controlled the lightning to strike down. This place was transformed by spirit, and those who entered were souls. Spiritual consciousness was equivalent to magic power, and the operation of secret techniques was also sluggish.

The bright blue spear shot out, and only when it got close to Xu Xuan could he see clearly that there were wave patterns engraved on it. Countless dark blue waves invaded and enveloped his soul. The waves collided with Xu Xuan's lightning and dissipated in pairs.

Zhang Gong's face was a little solemn. He didn't expect that the other party could withstand this move. The tentacles retracted the blue spear and shot it out again. The dark blue water turned into a whirlpool and enveloped him.

This move was a secret technique designed to shake the soul, but Xu Xuan rushed straight towards the vortex. The clear energy in his body flowed, which was the effect of the ancient monument protecting the soul. The dark blue vortex dispersed as soon as it touched it.

This is where Xu Xuan's confidence comes from. The immortal tablet in his body has the wonderful function of protecting his soul and concealing his inner thoughts. In this cave, he can gain a lot of advantages.

Zhang Gong was stunned. He was about to escape, but Xu Xuan had already come to kill him. The violent lightning fell and instantly blasted him into a puff of green smoke, and the spear also disappeared instantly.

A bright blue token and many ghost consciousness beads fell from the green smoke transformed by Zhang Gong. Xu Xuan transformed into a human form and reached out to catch them steadily.

There were two words "Yu Shuai" on the token. Xu Xuan didn't understand its meaning. He erased the traces of Zhang Gong and refined it with his spiritual consciousness, and the words flooded into his mind.

"This token belongs to a cave in the South China Sea and controls this road?"

Xu Xuan tried to activate it, and saw that the giant blue monument shook, revealing a bright portal. However, Xu Xuan did not want to enter, because the portal before him was not the way to return to his physical body.

If you want to get out earlier, you must use Tiantuo's secret method to find a ferry in Taixu before you can return. Otherwise, you can only wait for Tiantuo to recover and waste time here.

To use this secret method and determine the ferry crossing, one needs a strong spiritual consciousness. Xu Xuan looked at the ghost consciousness bead in his hand, as if he had something in mind.

Mr. Zhang left behind a total of thirty-six dark blue beads and twelve silver-white beads.

"There must be something else left. Send the little demon outside to look for it."

Xu Xuan was excited. He wondered how much benefit this silver ghost consciousness bead would bring to the growth of his spiritual consciousness.

When they got ashore and returned to the island, the group of little demons were in chaos, as if they had sensed the death of Zhang Gong. When they saw Xu Xuan coming, they all knelt down.

Xu Xuan immediately took charge of this group of fetal breathing demons. He called Hai Er and asked:
"How do these three demons usually control you?"

The old turtle below immediately replied:

"Reporting to the Lord, that Zhang Gong has a token in his hand. I don't know what secret method he used to make us take a Nether Consciousness Pearl, which forced us to be controlled by the token."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan took out the Fish Commander's Order and said with a smile:

"But this thing?"

When the monsters around saw Xu Xuan take out the token, they all bowed down and shouted "Your Majesty".

At this time, a blue crab came forward, and Xu Xuan realized that the crystal girl had died at the hands of Zhang Gong, and now the three sea eyes fell into his hands.

He then ordered the monsters to find all the ghost consciousness beads, while Xu Xuan continued to refine the token.

After waiting for a long time, the surrounding little demons went to search the three sea eyes and the hiding places of the three demons in the past, and indeed found a lot of ghost consciousness beads.

Xu Xuan counted them carefully and found that there were nearly three hundred dark blue ones, and the only silver-white ones were on Zhang Gong, which was twelve in total.

"If I could refine all of these Soul Consciousness Pearls, I wonder how much my spiritual awareness would increase."

As soon as he thought of this, he entered the cave where Zhang Gong was hiding and began to refine.

　I'm busy today, I'll make up for it tomorrow
