Forge your destiny and become an immortal, starting with hunting demons in the deep sea.

next moment!

"Tch~"

As soon as Chen Ye had a thought, the Azure Pattern Spear transformed into a streak of azure light and instantly pierced towards the Iron Scale Demon Wolf!

The Iron-Scaled Demon Wolf had already pounced on Chen Ye, preparing to bite the human cultivator's head off, when it suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind.

Having just been blinded by Chen Ye's finger, the Iron-Scaled Wolf was extremely wary of such attacks, instinctively trying to dodge even the slightest disturbance.

But how could Chen Ye give it a chance to dodge? He activated his spell again, unleashing the Spirit Annihilation Finger, but this time he aimed it at the tip of the Iron-Scaled Demon Wolf's nose.

puff!

A flash of energy appeared, and once again, a cloud of blood mist burst from the Iron-Scaled Wolf's fragile nose. Its flesh was blasted open, exposing its bare bones to the air.

The Iron-Scaled Wolf trembled violently in pain, opening its mouth to howl, but who knew—

*Pfft!*

The Azure Spear spat out a beam of azure light that pierced into the Iron-Scaled Wolf's body from behind. Rampaging spiritual energy surged from the tip of the spear, instantly shredding the wolf's internal organs before finally exiting through its mouth!

wow~~

As a pool of filthy blood spurted out, the Ironscale Wolf's corpse slumped to the ground, still twitching slightly, but devoid of any life force.

Meng Zhaoxing, who had just gotten up from the ground, witnessed this bloody scene and instinctively clenched his thighs together.

This method of attack is far too brutal! The emerald-green short spear pierced through the wolf's valley and emerged from its mouth; such a ruthless and cruel method, if used on a human...

Hiss! Meng Zhaoxing felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

the other side.

[A wisp of late-stage, first-tier demonic essence; using it to forge one's life force can add eighty years to one's lifespan and increase one's blood energy by 10!]

[Requirement for Forging Life: Thirty strands of spiritual energy]

Looking at the information flashing before his eyes, Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction.

After such a long period of research, Chen Ye has roughly figured out the levels of life-forging lamps that can refine life essence.

Even if Chen Ye kills many ordinary wild beasts, he cannot forge even half a year's lifespan into them, because they do not possess any spirituality.

The lifespan of a first-tier early-stage demon beast that can be smelted is approximately three to ten years.

Mid-stage monsters take twenty to fifty years, while late-stage monsters take eighty to one hundred years.

If you want to obtain some special skills or spells, you must at least refine the demon core of a second-tier demon beast.

Of course, the Spirit Whiskered Whale that Chen Ye killed at the beginning doesn't count, because the Spirit Whiskered Whale possessed the bloodline of a strange beast and had already condensed a demon core in the late stage of the first tier.

As for the enhancement of blood energy and divine soul, that depends on luck. Some demonic beasts have powerful divine souls, and Chen Ye can enhance their divine sense after refining them. Some demonic beasts have surging blood energy, and Chen Ye can enhance their blood energy. It cannot be generalized.

"Hmm? Brother Meng, what's wrong?"

Chen Ye looked at Meng Zhaoxing not far away, but found that there seemed to be something else in his gaze.

"No...it's nothing."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhaoxing shook his head repeatedly, but his expression held a hint of apprehension.

"I never expected Brother Luo's attack methods to be so unconventional..."

"You mean this?"

Chen Ye smiled, casually waving out a burst of spiritual energy to shake off the demonic wolf filth that clung to the Jade Pattern Spear, and then spoke.

"My short spear is only a mid-grade magic weapon, which is not enough to break through the Iron-Scaled Demon Wolf's defense. I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

In fact, if Chen Ye were to activate the demonic soul within the Jade Pattern Spear, he could easily pierce through the scales on the demonic wolf's body.

However, Chen Ye would not reveal his true strength in front of a group of unfamiliar cultivators, even though the Azure Pattern Spear could no longer be considered his trump card!

At this moment, Chen Ye suddenly noticed that the jade pendant worn by Meng Zhaoxing at her waist was flashing with a faint spiritual light, and Meng Zhaoxing also noticed the change in the jade pendant.

His expression changed slightly, and he stood there frozen, as if he had received some kind of information out of thin air.

After a few breaths, Meng Zhaoxing let out a long breath, then bowed to Chen Ye with a serious expression.

"It is my great fortune to have met Brother Luo on this island. Unfortunately, I have family matters to attend to and will not be able to accompany Brother Luo in developing this island."

"Oh? Brother Meng, are you leaving? You don't even want the Bai family's reward?" Chen Ye raised an eyebrow and asked.

Meng Zhaoxing smiled and shook his head.

"If the Bai family can give it to me, then I will pass it on to Brother Luo. Until we meet again."

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sword, stepped forward, and then activated his spiritual power, disappearing into the night sky at an extremely fast speed.

"A Thousand-Mile Communication Talisman..."

Chen Ye withdrew his gaze and murmured.

It seems that Meng Zhaoxing does indeed have some background. Unfortunately, such a person must have a life-saving item bestowed upon him by an elder of his clan or a master of his sect.

Otherwise, the top-grade defensive magic artifact he possesses would be an invaluable treasure.

Uh... He keeps calling me "Brother Luo," how could I possibly covet his magical artifact!

Shaking his head, Chen Ye looked at the corpse of the demon wolf on the ground.

Although the wolf's internal organs were shredded by the Azure Spear and its flesh and blood were tainted, its limbs should still be relatively clean. We'll eat it tonight!

Meanwhile, in a grove of trees not far away, several rogue cultivators gathered furtively, glancing in this direction from time to time.

"Boss Qiao, that kid surnamed Meng is gone. Should we chase after him and give him a good beating?"

A male cultivator wearing a worn-out Taoist robe looked in the direction where Meng Zhaoxing had flown away on his sword and said with a greedy expression.

The spiritual light emitted by the superior-grade magic sword in the air was as dazzling as a shooting star, which was extremely tempting for low-level rogue cultivators like them who couldn't even find two hundred spirit stones in their storage bags!

Moreover, that man surnamed Meng has quite a few good things on him, even the boots he's wearing are magical artifacts.

"Don't cause any unnecessary trouble!"

The gaunt male cultivator, known as Boss Qiao, gave a low shout and turned to address his subordinates.

"Although that young man surnamed Meng is not very powerful, he must have some background. Killing him might bring trouble."

"Hehe, Boss Qiao truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran from Thousand Camphor Island; his eye for talent is sharp!"

"We've been following Boss Qiao for the past six months, and we haven't failed even once..."

Several rogue cultivators offered their flattery, but Qiao Guanjiang frowned upon hearing the words "Thousand Camphor Island."

It's been over a year since I left Qianzhang Island. I thought I would have nothing to do with Baihualou anymore, but who would have thought that Zhao Shan would die by sheer coincidence!

After Zhao Shan's death, Zhao Qingyuan frantically mobilized his connections to track down the murderer, even suspecting that he was an inside man who had killed Zhao Shan.

Qiao Guanjiang felt extremely wronged. He had even given Zhao Shan those four Thunderstorm Talismans, but who would have thought that this kid was so useless? Holding such a trump card, he was actually killed by an ordinary rogue cultivator at the fifth level of Spirit Condensation.

However, not only Zhao Shan, but even Qiao Guanjiang himself could not have imagined that the old man he was in charge of robbing would be the patriarch of a spiritual cultivation family.

That is, the Bai family who bought this Spirit Island.
