Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 269: Demon-luring Pill

After Chen Yuan's blood and essence entered the sea, it condensed and did not disperse, and was incompatible with the light black sea water.

He spread out his spiritual sense, covering an area of ​​twenty miles, and carefully observed the reactions of the monsters under the sea.

Within this range, there are hundreds of first-level monsters and several second-level monsters swimming in the deep sea.

The vast and deep ocean is enough to accommodate monsters far beyond those on land.

The next moment after Chen Yuan's blood dripped into the sea, the sea boiled.

All the monsters within a ten-mile radius, from near to far, dropped the fish and shrimp that were about to be swallowed into their mouths, stopped fighting with other monsters, and rushed over here together.

The sea surface was still as calm as before, but under the surface there were undercurrents surging. The originally ferocious, gentle, timid and cruel monsters all had red eyes and turned into man-eating evil spirits, pouncing on Chen Yuan's blood.

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He raised his hand and grabbed it. The Golden Dragon Sword appeared out of thin air, shot into the sea, circled around, and killed all the attacking monsters.

These low-level monsters were naturally vulnerable to the Golden Dragon Sword, but they remained fearless until they were cut into two pieces.

Even after death, it still struggled hard and swam towards this side until it was completely dead and fell into the arms of the sea with its eyes open.

Chen Yuan slaughtered all the monsters. The sea water around the island was dyed black and red by blood. The broken arms and limbs of the monsters floated to the surface of the sea, slowly surging with the waves.

Driven by instinct, some sea creatures devoured the flesh and blood of dead monsters.

After today, many new monsters will be born in this sea area.

Chen Yuan raised his hand, absorbed the essence and blood into his hand, held it loosely in his palm, and rode on the light to fly away.

This drop of blood essence was not stained by any sea water and was as bright red as before. It naturally condensed into a round bead, smooth and shiny, like the finest red jade.

Soon, Chen Yuan left the island for dozens of miles and threw the ruby-like blood bead into the sea.

The monsters within a ten-mile radius immediately went crazy, rushing in from all directions and tearing to pieces all the sea creatures that blocked their way.

Chen Yuan pointed and the Golden Dragon Sword transformed into a three-clawed golden dragon, which dived into the sea, revealing all the monsters. The sea surface once again became a Shura field.

After killing all the attacking monsters, Chen Yuan recalled the Golden Dragon Sword, took back the blood bead, and conducted a third experiment dozens of miles away. The results were exactly the same as the previous two times.

As long as his blood essence is dropped into the sea, it will attract all the monsters within a ten-mile radius.

Then Chen Yuan conducted another experiment to see what would happen if he did not drop the essence and blood into the sea.

After several experiments, Chen Yuan finally confirmed that if the essence and blood did not enter the sea, it would not attract monsters from far away. This was no different from luring monsters with one's own breath, and the range was very narrow.

However, once the essence and blood drip into the sea, it will attract all monsters indiscriminately, and the range is only ten miles in radius, so it is of no help in hunting monsters.

Hunting monsters is related to the Monster Yuan Dan, and simply searching for monsters is too inefficient, so it is imperative to lure monsters with their essence and blood.

If you don't want the essence and blood to attract low-level monsters, you can prevent the low-level monsters from sensing the power of the stars contained in the essence and blood.

But it is very difficult to do so, as the essence of the sun and the moon have a fatal attraction to monsters.

Apart from this, the best way to prevent low-level monsters from approaching is to allow the essence and blood to carry pressure to intimidate the low-level monsters.

He has been thinking about this matter for the past three years. At first, he had no idea. Later, he turned to looking for a solution in alchemy, which he was best at, but still found nothing.

It was not until he was pondering the inheritance of old man Dan Jue that he suddenly realized that to purify and transform the demonic power in the demon pill, wasn't that just purifying the essence and blood of the demon beast?
The demon pill is made from the essence and blood of a demon beast, which is equivalent to the dantian of a human cultivator and stores the demonic power.

The process of refining the demon essence pill is the process of transforming the demon beast's essence and blood into spiritual energy.

If this method is modified to only purify the essence and blood without converting it into spiritual energy, the thin Zhu Yan's true blood will become more concentrated, and by using the pressure of the true spirit, it will definitely be able to intimidate low-level monsters.

Of course, simply purifying the essence and blood can only attract monsters within a radius of ten miles.

The best way is to use essence and blood as the main medicine, refine a pill, spread the essence and blood aura, and attract monsters from a farther range.

This is just Chen Yuan's idea, but it is also the only way for him to use his own blood and essence to lure the monster.

Since ancient times in the world of immortal cultivation, only the long-extinct demon-luring grass could drive demon beasts crazy.

Using essence and blood to lure monsters is unprecedented, so Chen Yuan can only figure it out on his own.

He let out a long breath, closed his eyes and meditated, calming his mind and letting the method of purifying and transforming demonic power flow slowly through his heart.

A day later, Chen Yuan opened his eyes, and with a thought, the alchemy furnace appeared out of thin air.

He raised his hand and made a hand gesture. A stream of true energy flew out and transformed into a red fire, wrapping up the alchemy furnace.

He took out the jade bottle containing essence and blood, raised his hand and waved it, and a drop of essence and blood flew into the alchemy furnace.

At the same time, Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness surged out like a tide, filling every corner of the alchemy furnace, practicing the method of purifying the demonic power.

The volume of this drop of essence blood slowly shrank, and streams of light gray smoke flew out of the essence blood.

A day passed quickly, and just when the essence and blood were mostly purified, it suddenly trembled and turned into ashes under the burning of the true fire.

Chen Yuan frowned and carefully reviewed the purification process.

After a long time, he raised his hand and waved, and another drop of essence and blood flew into the alchemy furnace. He slightly changed the purification method and started the second purification.

The purification method created by Elder Dan Jue is based on demon pills, but the essence and blood of humans are very different from demon pills, so the specific method needs to be changed.

But this was only the second purification, and Chen Yuan did not dare to make too many changes, and ultimately failed.

After experiencing two consecutive failures, he calmed down instead.

After summarizing the experience of the second failed attempt to purify the essence and blood, he raised his hand and waved, and the third drop of essence and blood flew into the alchemy furnace.

This is destined to be a long process. Chen Yuan is only a master of alchemy, and his attainments in alchemy are far inferior to those of old man Dan Jue.

Elder Dan Jue spent more than ten years to research a method to purify and transform demonic power using a residual recipe.

Chen Yuan's advantage lies in the fact that his essence and blood contain Zhu Yan's true blood, which is somewhat similar to the essence and blood of monsters. He also does not need to research the method of purification from scratch, so the time required is definitely much less than that of old man Dan Jue.

In the next three years, Chen Yuan used his own essence and blood as material, and after hundreds of failures, he finally developed a method to purify the essence and blood.

To this end, he forced hundreds of drops of essence and blood out of his body. Fortunately, they were not forced out at the same time. The lost essence and blood in his body could be restored in time through the infusion of starlight, so there was no big problem.

However, the pressure from a drop of purified blood essence is too weak and can only intimidate a first-level monster.

Chen Yuan spent another two months experimenting to find the best ratio for the purification and fusion of blood essence. After the four drops of blood essence were fused, they contained a strong Zhou Tian Xingchen power, with a faint Zhu Yan aura, which could deter monsters below level five and prevent them from attacking.

Purifying the essence and blood is the most difficult step. The next step is to refine the essence and blood into elixir and spread its aura. For Chen Yuan, the master of alchemy, it is an easy task.

He used the blood bead formed by the purification and fusion of four drops of essence and blood as the main medicine, added several kinds of eighty-year-old spiritual herbs, and refined it into a miraculous elixir, which he named "Demon-Luring Pill".

If this pill is placed in the sea, it will melt on its own, and its aura will spread over a thousand miles and last for a month.

The difficulty of refining the Demon-Luring Pill is not high, and can only be compared with the pills in the late stage of foundation building. After being refined by Chen Yuan, the success rate of the pill can reach 90%.

But the original idea of ​​only attracting level 5 monsters was not realized.

Monsters are attracted to the essence of the sun and the moon. The Demon-Luring Pill only relies on Zhu Yan's pressure to intimidate low-level monsters, making the fear deep in their blood greater than their desire for the essence of the sun and the moon, so that they will not fall into madness.

But the high-level monsters are not afraid of the pressure in Chen Yuan's blood and essence. Although they will not go crazy, driven by instinct, they will definitely not miss the opportunity to obtain the essence of the sun and the moon.

After Chen Yuan refined the demon-luring pill, he put the pill into the sea and waited for nearly ten days. Finally, a level five Yaksha was attracted and he killed it easily.

He then took out another demon-luring pill, but this time, it did not attract the fifth-level demon beast.

There are many human cultivators in the Ink Sea, but few high-level monsters.

The demon-luring pill could only attract demon beasts within a thousand miles radius, and its duration was very limited, so the pill was eventually wasted.

Chen Yuan did not take out the third demon-luring pill. He destroyed the cave on the island, rode on the light of escape, and flew to the east.

The efficiency of hunting monsters in the Ink Sea is too low. Only when the Monster Sea is rife with monsters can the effect of the Monster-Luring Pill be maximized.

However, there are far more high-level monsters in the Ten Thousand Monsters Sea than in the Ink Sea, and the risk of hunting monsters is much greater, so one needs to be fully prepared.

Chen Yuan escaped at an extremely fast speed and returned to Blood Island in just ten days.

After not being back for several years, everything in the Blood Island Market remains the same as before. Walking on the street, there are simple stalls on the roadside, with a variety of monster materials on them, and the vendors and customers arguing endlessly.

The shops of various clans and families are all located deep in the market town, with the businesses of the three major clans being the most eye-catching. They are as grand and majestic as palaces, with frequent visitors and bustling voices, yet there is order in the chaos.

As a guest elder of the Righteousness League, Chen Yuan naturally would not buy things in the Righteousness League’s store like these cultivators.

He went straight to the Zhengqi Pavilion, showed his guest elder token, and took out all the monster materials from the Canghai Whale and Yaksha.

The demon core was to be used to refine pills, and the demon beast materials obtained from previous demon hunting had already been sold. These were the only things he had that could be exchanged for spirit stones.

The deacon on duty at the Zhengqi Pavilion did not dare to delay. After checking the monster materials one by one, he bought them all and gave Chen Yuan twenty high-quality spirit stones.

Chen Yuan returned the twenty high-grade spirit stones to the deacon, and took out another fifteen high-grade spirit stones to buy four high-level spirit formations.

In Donghua Continent, a high-level spirit formation can be sold for nine high-quality spirit stones, but Yuqing Sea is rich in resources, so a high-level spirit formation only costs seven or eight high-quality spirit stones.

The deacon was very surprised to see Chen Yuan buy four high-level spiritual formations at once, and couldn't help but remind him: "Elder Chen, the monster beasts will not obediently drill into the formation..."

Chen Yuan said calmly: "Thank you for your reminder, I have my own plans."

The deacon shook his head, said no more, and handed the formation plates and flags of the four high-level spiritual formations to Chen Yuan.

After purchasing the formation, Chen Yuan left Zhengqi Pavilion, concealed his cultivation level, and bought hundreds of spiritual herbs used to refine Yaoyuan Pills from several shops selling spiritual herbs in the market town, and spent all the spiritual stones on him.

The most precious of these spiritual herbs are only the hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, which are very common in the market and not expensive, so there is no need to buy them in the Zhengqi Pavilion.

After all, he was a cultivator in the early Jindan stage, but he was buying low-level spiritual herbs in large quantities. It was too eye-catching and might attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.

After buying the spiritual herbs for the formation, Chen Yuan left the Blood Island and flew towards the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters.

……

Three months later, in the sea of ​​monsters.

On a coral reef, a monk was fighting fiercely with a monster.

The monk had white hair and his hands were covered with a layer of white flames. It was Chen Yuan who entered the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters to hunt monsters.

In his left hand, he firmly grasped a huge crab monster with eight eyes. The white flame on his palm poured into the crab monster's body. The crab monster's body was intact, but a rapid "hissing" sound came from its mouth, as if it was in great pain.

Zhu Yan's True Fire burned the soul, which was the monster's weakness. It was completely restrained by Zhu Yan's True Fire. Its soul was burned, causing unbearable pain and unable to display its innate magical powers.

Chen Yuan threw a punch with his right hand, and boundless force surged out, smashing the crab monster's shell to pieces, and all its life force was gone.

After killing the crab monster, Chen Yuan threw the crab monster's body onto the coral reef, then pointed his finger and the Golden Dragon Sword pierced deeply into the crab monster's body, taking out a light red demon pill.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, and the Golden Dragon Sword flew out again, taking out the eight crab claws and eight eyeballs. Together with the demon pill, Chen Yuan put them into the storage bag.

He snapped his fingers and a fireball flew out, burning the crab monster's body to ashes. He then flew away in a beam of light.

……

One year later, somewhere in the Sea of ​​​​Ten Thousand Monsters.

A deserted island was wrapped in a layer of curtain. Rumbling sounds were heard one after another, and the curtain shook violently, as if it would shatter at the next moment.

Through the formation curtain, one can see that on the deserted island, a ferocious monster with a tiger head and a dragon body is fiercely ramming the formation curtain, making tiger roars that resound through heaven and earth.

This is a level five monster, the Tiger-headed Dragon. It has a powerful bloodline and can rival a level six monster.

Chen Yuan stood outside the formation, looked at the tiger-headed dragon coldly, and shouted: "Get up!"

There were three formation plates hanging in front of him, two of which made a humming sound. Outside the formation curtain, dozens of formation flags were shining with spiritual light, and two large formations rose from the ground.

The next moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and endless drizzle fell. Upon closer inspection, they were actually flying swords about an inch long that firmly suppressed the tiger-headed dragon.

Chen Yuan's body flashed and rushed towards the tiger-headed dragon. His black hair suddenly turned snow-white. His hands were wrapped in a layer of white flames. He swung a punch and hit the tiger-headed dragon hard!
The tiger-headed dragon was trying its best to resist the formation, but had no time to block. It was sent flying backwards by the punch and landed on the deserted island, leaving a deep groove on its face. The ferocity and brutality in its tiger eyes disappeared, and it let out a scream.

At the same time that Chen Yuan knocked it away, Zhu Yan's True Fire took advantage of the opportunity and rushed in, burning its already weak soul and causing it to suffer unbearable pain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, thunder exploded in the sky, and dozens of thunders struck the tiger-headed dragon, killing it alive!
Chen Yuan pointed and the Golden Dragon Sword flew out, taking out the Tiger-headed Dragon Demon Pill, pulling out the Dragon tendons, peeling off the Dragon scales and skin, and putting them all into the mustard seed ring.

He raised his hand again, put away the three formations, destroyed the corpse of the tiger-headed dragon, and fled away.
