Chapter 167 Sun and Moon Pearl

"Please understand, Immortal, I came here through the underwater tunnel to avoid the giant sea beast, and I did not intend to enter the mainland. Immortal, please have mercy!"

As he spoke, the illusory figure in the clam became somewhat unreal, obviously frightened to the extreme.

Chu Tai repeated again that he had not attained enlightenment and was not worthy of the title of immortal. He also told the sea clam not to call himself a small animal.

At the same time, Chu Tai lowered a wisp of vital energy to stabilize his soul. He stretched out his hand and gently moved it twice on the pool of water. The vital energy caused ripples and water vapor rose. He stretched out his hand and pinched it. Chu Tai felt it carefully and frowned slightly.

"You came in from the sea? How could there be a giant beast near the sea? What do you want to hide?"

Chu Tai's move was actually a bit of a trick. After all, this place was not close to the East China Sea. Even if the two were really connected by a tunnel underneath, Chu Tai could not absorb the water vapor of the East China Sea from this pool of water, let alone distinguish whether it was near sea or far sea.

But Chu Tai could observe the emotions of the clam. The frightened clam did not dare to hide anything and never thought that Chu Tai would deceive it in this regard.

The figure in the clam trembled as he told everything he knew.

"My Lord, please understand. I have absolutely nothing to hide. I really came from the East China Sea. As for the giant beast in the sea, it was because something happened in the East China Sea again."

"again?"

"Yes, yes. Something happened in the East China Sea again. The last time something happened was about a hundred years ago. At that time, many of our companions in the sea mutated and turned into various monsters. I later heard that it was a fairy in the East China Sea who went astray during his practice, causing another world to collide with our world. I don't know the specific reason."

"Many immortals died that time. I saw a crack in the sky above the East China Sea, and countless immortals and magic weapons fell out. Some sea beasts devoured the bodies of the immortals, wanting to increase their own strength, but in the end they all became very strange..."

At this point, the clam seemed confused and a little scared.

"Those sea beasts seemed to have transformed into immortals that fell from the sky. They seemed to have become immortals, but they also seemed to be no longer themselves. I couldn't sense their original aura, and then, they were killed by a sword light that fell from the sky."

Haibang spoke in a confusing manner. Chu Tai roughly figured out that this should be the scene of the collision on the two days that year.

Chu Tai first asked about the specific situation that the clam saw, and then asked what had happened in the East China Sea recently?
"Actually, I'm not really sure..."

The clam felt a little embarrassed, and the figure in the shell twisted its body.

"I saw many sea beasts begin to swim outwards. Some of them were like the sea beasts that became immortals. They exuded strange auras. I was worried that it would be the same as last time."

"I was hit by the aftermath of the sword last time. Half of my accumulated gems were gone, and my shell was almost pierced. I was so scared that I ran from underground to here."

Hearing this, Chu Tai looked at the many pearls in the sea clam and couldn't help but wonder how many pearls this guy had produced during his heyday. But after this quick glance, he really found a lot of useful spiritual pearls.

After thinking for a while, Chu Taitong said to Hai Bang: "I see that you don't have any orthodox cultivation methods, so I will give you one method of gathering energy, one method of concentrating the mind, two methods of protecting the way, and two methods of refining treasures suitable for you in exchange for the six gems you nurtured. Is that okay?"

"The concealment method that the immortal taught me before is enough. If you like it, just take it. I just want to ask the immortal to be merciful and give me a simple method of gathering energy."

Hearing this, Chu Tai also understood the character of the sea clam. He first taught the sea clam the methods of gathering energy, concentrating the mind, protecting the way, and refining treasures. Then he picked out two cooling beads, one wind-fixing bead, one sun and moon bead, and two moon soul beads from the opened shell.

Although these six gems are not the best six produced by this sea clam, each of them is full of spiritual power and is not an ordinary thing.

It was said that this clam had practiced for a very long time, more than 2,300 years, but it had not been able to do it properly, and 90% of its vitality had been absorbed by the orb in its body, so the mana accumulated in its Yuandan was less than 300 years old. However, it was precisely because of the many vitality that intertwined into orbs with many supernatural powers in its body that it was able to successfully avoid many disasters.

And because of the characteristics of their race, the supernatural powers of these beads are extraordinary, far beyond the ability of their cultivation to create.

If I have to give a definition, it is that this sea clam is gifted. Once its shell closes, it creates an illusory world, simulating the process of heaven and earth giving birth to natural treasures.

For example, the water-repellent bead that Chu Tai saw but did not choose was one of the earliest spiritual beads bred by the sea clam. According to the sea clam itself, it has been bred for 1,800 years.

However, the spiritual charm within it far exceeds that of the external minerals accumulated over thousands of years of being washed by the vital energy in the spiritual land. It is equivalent to a treasure nurtured by heaven and earth for three thousand years.

Therefore, this gem can not only avoid ordinary water, but also suppress most of the real water evolved by cultivators like Chu Tai with their own true qi.

The Cooling Beads, Wind-Fixing Beads, Sun-Moon Beads, and Moon-Soul Beads that Chu Tai chose each have their own mysteries.

The Cooling Beads can calm the mind and resist external demons, the Wind-Fixing Beads can calm external distracting energy and stabilize internal vital energy, the Sun and Moon Beads contain the light of the sun and the moon and contain some of the sun and moon's magical powers, and finally the Moon Soul Beads are the condensation of the moon's essence and are most suitable as a carrier of the soul.

Chu Tai was quite satisfied with the treasure he had obtained. He gave Hai Bang a few more instructions and planned to take the pearl back.

Upon seeing this, the clam spat out the thirty-two black and white pearls it had bred, and sent them to Chu Tai in the waves.

"Sir, according to our previous exchange, you taught me a magic at the beginning, and I should also pay a pearl. You took one less just now. These pearls are about the same as the six Yuan Qi you picked, so they can be regarded as the replacement for that one. Please accept them."

Seeing this, Chu Tai was about to say something, but the clam had already escaped into the pool and disappeared.

Looking at the thirty-two more pearls in his hand, Chu Tai put them away, turned around and went back to Guo Shan. He gave a cool pearl to Guo Shan from this harvest, and gave two moon pearls to Mingxia and Feiquan, and told them what happened in the pool.

The three people who learned the whole story from Chu Tai were all amazed. Mingxia and Feiquan expressed their concerns about the situation in the East China Sea in a more obscure way. However, they also knew that they could not be of much help in their current state. They could only give Chu Tai some suggestions in a tactful way, and then take out the pearls to cleanse them slowly.

Under Chu Tai's guidance, Guo Shan completed the ritual of refining the orb, constructed a magic ban, refined it into a spiritual weapon, and carried it with him to prevent interference from external demons during his practice.

Lord Mingxia transferred most of his power into the Yuepo Orb, gaining a more independent support. Lord Feiquan made a similar choice, and when necessary, he could even exchange identities with Lord Mingxia and return his body to the other.

As for Chu Tai, he refined the Cooling Pearl, the Wind-Fixing Pearl, and the Sun-Moon Pearl, and integrated them into the Taiyi Changming Lamp, giving it even more miraculous powers and allowing the precious flame within it to carry the light of the sun and the moon, amplifying its ability to resist internal and external demons.

What surprised Chu Tai was that something went wrong when he was smelting the Sun and Moon Pearls.

The Sun and Moon Pearls are no different from other spiritual pearls in terms of the way they are bred. They are all created by external energy bred within sea clams. The only difference is that the energy that breeds the Sun and Moon Pearls is the two kinds of light from the sun and the moon.

This is also the reason why Chu Tai chose the Sun and Moon Orbs. He wanted to further enhance the potential of the Taiyi Eternal Lamp and allow it to better cooperate with his magic power and true qi that gradually contain yin and yang attributes.

But what Chu Tai never expected was that the best quality Sun and Moon Orb he chose actually contained a tiny ray of sword light.

When he finished refining the Sun and Moon Orbs, separated them into the Sun and Moon, and was about to integrate them into the Taiyi Eternal Lamp, a ray of sword light came straight to his forehead.
