Poison Cultivation

Looking at the thick, dismal fog spreading into the distance, even Xiao Qiyuan, who was at the tenth level of Qi Refining, couldn't help but change color.

Chen Luoyi was a little intimidated and asked:

"Shall we go in?"

Xiao Qiyuan shook his head:

"This is just the outermost edge of the storm; it is estimated to be hundreds or thousands of miles away from the true center."

Besides, the beast tide is raging; I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get through it on our own."

Chen Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Xiao Qiyuan was a hothead who would lead him recklessly into the abyss.

Fortunately, the other party was much more rational than he had imagined.

The current suggestion is:

The reason why the blue jellyfish is called blue is because it can emit a green cold light underwater.

We will only patrol the perimeter. If we see light on the bottom of the water, it is definitely a jellyfish.

Then we can make our move and capture it, shall we?

Xiao Qiyuan nodded, "That's excellent!"

He immediately descended by riding the escape light to survey the sea surface.

Chen Luo also searched around.

Blue jellyfish usually live in very deep waters and only choose to surface when chased by predators or encountering other special conditions.

The two searched only on the surface of the sea, which was almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable to ask him to risk going into the water to search.

After all, the beast tide is approaching, and there is no guarantee that there will not be a large group of monsters active underwater. Once encountered, it will surely be a disaster.

So whether or not you can find and capture the blue jellyfish is really a matter of luck.

But since Chen Luo dared to come, he would do his best. As for whether he could achieve his goal, it would depend on whether Li Ruosheng was destined to survive.

The two flew back and forth, patiently searching. Perhaps it was some kind of luck, but Xiao Qiyuan actually found a green light in the water.

"Look over there, isn't that a blue jellyfish?"

He pointed to the deep seabed and loudly reminded them.

Looking over, Chen Luoshun indeed saw a cluster of dark green light, flashing and moving swiftly like lightning, breaking through the waves and rising to the surface of the sea.

Xiao Qiyuan immediately took out a magical artifact from his storage bag.

It was an ancient conical artifact, somewhat resembling a vajra. Once turned, it emitted a wailing sound, with fierce winds swirling around it, sharp as knives.

Chen Luo was right next to him, but he felt a cold gust of wind hit his face, and his muscles and bones stung.

I was inwardly surprised:

"This looks much better than my Bone-Piercing Nail!"

The bone-piercing nail belongs to the category of concealed weapons, and its direct attack is obviously no match for the magical weapon in front of it.

"Monster, behold my Gathering Qi Cone!"

Xiao Qiyuan shouted and pointed downwards.

The Gathering Cone instantly transformed into a cold rainbow, wrapped in a sharp wind that swept through the air, cutting through the waves and shooting straight at the green light.

The blue jellyfish seemed to sense something was amiss, suddenly jerking off in the water, turning abruptly, and diving into the deep sea.

Xiao Qiyuan said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go and capture it!"

Before he could finish speaking and before Chen Luo could reply, he had already jumped into the sea.

By the time Chen Luo blurted out "Be careful," the other party had already vanished without a trace.

Watching the waves surge and fall like shattered silver, he opened his mouth, then sighed speechlessly:

"Who said he wasn't a hothead?"

Despite saying that, he still took out the Bone-Piercing Nail and the Dragon-Locking Net, gritted his teeth, and plunged down.

Xiao Qiyuan had come out with him, and if he were to die here, and he had failed to bring back the jellyfish glands, the Li family would certainly not let the matter rest.

Besides, Lao Xiao was a decent person, and he really couldn't bear to see him perish at sea.

With a "plop," Chen Luo plunged into the sea.

The underwater world is dark and gloomy, with hidden currents and extremely difficult to see.

He quickly focused his inner energy into his eyes, which shone brightly as he searched around.

Amidst the surging waters and clouds, Xiao Qiyuan was wielding the Gathering Qi Cone, locked in a fierce battle with a giant demon.

The creature they were fighting was not the blue jellyfish, but a giant turtle.

Its body is as large as a house, its head is as long as a spear, its snout is sharp, and its mouth is full of barbed, horny teeth. It is baring its teeth and claws, chasing and biting relentlessly.

Xiao Qiyuan gathered his Qi Cone and struck its armor fiercely, making loud banging noises and sending out gusts of wind, but it couldn't damage it in the slightest.

Seeing Chen Luo enter the water, he quickly channeled his inner energy and shouted:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is a hard-shelled turtle, and it is chasing the jellyfish."

"I'll entangle it first. You quickly go and catch the blue jellyfish; it's already injured and can't go far!"

Chen Luo responded and followed the directions, hurrying off in the opposite direction.

He used his water manipulation technique to accelerate the flow of water, and soon he saw a cloud of green mist.

The jellyfish was translucent, with a bell over ten feet in diameter, its color a deep, shimmering green, as if it were formed from phosphorescent light in the deep sea.

Hundreds of pale blue tendrils, several meters long, hung from the edge of the umbrella. They were as thin as hair, yet as resilient as spider silk, and when they moved, they resembled a wisp of green mist drifting by.

"Found you!"

Chen Luo remained calm and composed. With a flick of his right hand, the Bone-Piercing Nail shot out through the water with lightning speed, aiming straight for the jellyfish's bell.

This nail is a first-grade high-quality magic weapon, with nine layers of artifact restrictions and imbued with the true energy of the five poisons, making it extremely fierce.

A flash of black light appeared, and with a "poof," it pierced straight through the emerald canopy, creating a small hole.

The blue-phosphorus jellyfish, in pain, emitted a bright, eerie light. Its hundreds of tentacles suddenly lashed out, binding the bone-piercing nail tightly, as if trying to sever it.

Fearing he might damage the magical artifact, Chen Luo quickly activated a hand seal, intending to retrieve it.

Unexpectedly, when the hand seal was activated, a resistance was felt from the nail, preventing it from moving even an inch.

"Damn it, I'll give it to you, so what!"

He cursed angrily, then threw down the bone-piercing nail and used his left hand to shake open the dragon-locking net.

This net is woven from silk mixed with gold threads, with fine mesh and a faint spiritual light.

Chen Luo channeled his true strength into the net, tossed it with a flick of his wrist, and like a cloud of light, it descended upon the jellyfish.

The blue jellyfish realized the danger and its bell-shaped cap rapidly contracted as it tried to escape into the depths of the dark sea.

But the Dragon-Locking Net came with incredible speed, and Chen Luo used a sneaky trick, activating the Bone-Piercing Nails at the opportune moment.

The blue-green jellyfish had to juggle both entanglement with the nails and escape, leaving it overwhelmed.

With a "whoosh," the entire creature, including its antennae and cap, was caught in the net.

"Now let's see where you run to!" Chen Luo sneered and grabbed the net rope.

In desperation, the jellyfish burst forth with a burst of emerald light, its tentacles thrashing wildly as it struggled desperately toward the deep sea.

Chen Luo felt a sudden weight in his hands, as if a tremendous force was coming from the rope, dragging him to the bottom of the sea.

He quickly kicked the water with his feet to stabilize himself using the water-controlling technique, channeled his inner energy into his arms, and pulled back with all his might.

A demon and a human engaged in a silent struggle amidst the vast waves.

In the struggle, Chen Luo was unable to control his own body and was pulled downwards by the immense force.

Fortunately, he came into contact with a reef along the way, which gave him a foothold.

He stepped on the rocks and coral, pulling back with all his might, making up his mind:

If I hold on for just a moment, the poisonous energy of the Five Poisons True Qi emanating from the Bone-Piercing Nail will surely erupt, and then I will win.

Supported by his inner belief, he couldn't help but exert himself even more.

After pulling for a while, I unknowingly kicked up a lot of mud under my feet, and at the same time, the force from the net rope became lighter and lighter.

Chen Luo was overjoyed, knowing that the jellyfish were poisonous, and quickly sped up the process of pulling in the net.

As I moved my legs, I suddenly felt myself bump into something round and smooth.

He casually reached out and pulled out a pearl the size of a longan. Its luster was restrained, with a subtle emerald sheen, clearly indicating that it was a spiritual object.

"The sea is truly a treasure trove! Thank you, nature, for your bounty!!"

He hurriedly stuffed it into his storage bag.

Then, taking advantage of the jellyfish's weakened state due to the venom, he activated his true energy, dragging the net and the demon together towards the surface of the water.

With a splash, Chen Luo broke through the water, about to gather his energy and ride the wind to ascend into the sky.

But then he saw the waves roaring and the seawater flying everywhere. Suddenly, a huge shadow rushed up and pounced on the jellyfish in his net.

Chen Luo stared intently, and there it was—the hard-shelled tortoise.

"That bastard actually caught up with us!"

Before he could ponder why Xiao Qiyuan had failed to entangle it, Chen Luo flipped his hand and took out a golden talisman. With a surge of true energy, the talisman instantly transformed into a sky full of golden light.

In an instant, a thousand blades flew and ten thousand pieces of gold burst forth, like a torrential rain and flowing rainbow, slashing down on the giant tortoise!
