Chapter 132 Harvest

  Xia Chen worried that Xue Kui Du Jun still had a hidden trick, and such an old monster couldn't be taken lightly even if he was dead. So he put away the puppet, then from a distance of over ten zhang, he continuously threw out several True Fire Palms, burning Xue Kui Du Jun's corpse in a sea of flames.

  Poor Blood Ghost King, even in death he couldn't rest in peace, and was burned to ashes by a fierce flame.

  However, he was a Double Cultivation Grandmaster of the Divine Path, and even if he didn't specialize in cultivating his physical body, it was extremely powerful. It took half a day for the Postnatal True Flame to burn his body down to just a skeleton.

  This skeleton is not only hard, but also extremely heat-resistant. No matter how much the summer dust stirs up the true fire of heaven and earth, there is no change at all. Seeing that the threat seems to have been lifted, Xia Chen also stops her destruction.

  After the flames gradually went out, a small green bag about the size of a palm and a black object appeared next to the skeleton, apart from that, there was nothing else.

  Xia Chen took a few steps closer, kicked the blood-covered skeleton to one side, then picked up the blue bag and the black object.

  That black object was a seven or eight inch long treasure pagoda, all over the body was pitch-black, with exquisite shape, but the color was somewhat dull. At the bottom of the tower, there were some coarse and fine cracks, as if it had been damaged, but it gave people a dark and profound feeling, as if inside the tower, hiding a fierce and unparalleled poison.

  This black tower looks very familiar, it's obviously the poisonous tower used by Blood Puppet Poison King. Although it looks small and inconspicuous, Xia Chen knows that a magic treasure can change its shape at will, and under great power, it will exert unimaginable might.

  The poisonous tower's energy is constantly changing, comparable to a godly cultivator's poisonous insects. Now that the Blood Puppet Poison King is dead, the Poisonous Tower naturally belongs to Xia Chen.

  Xia Chen grasped the Detoxification Tower and slowly channeled his true energy into it. After a moment, the Detoxification Tower was completely still.

  Xia Chen sighed, knowing that although he had obtained a treasure, it was still useless to him. With his current cultivation level, he couldn't activate it at all. It was probably another treasure that required divine intent to activate, and for him, it wasn't as practical as talismans.

  Put away the poisonous tower, Xia Chen looked at the cyan bag again. He now also has some experience and knows that this cyan bag is a storage bag, with its own space inside, which can hold a large number of treasures, usually only available to divine transcendence cultivators.

  Xue Kui Du Jun was a master of the ancestral level, and his collection must have been quite rich. However, Xia Chen didn't hold much hope, as the storage bags of divine transcendence cultivators were often sealed with unique techniques that only those with sufficient strength could open. His own strength wasn't enough to open it, just like the storage bag he had obtained from the corpse of a Liche in the rear mountain of Zhengxuan Sect.

  He held the storage bag and tentatively sent out a thread of true energy, which surged into the bag.

  Suddenly, something unexpected happened. A white light flashed along the edge of the storage bag, and the bag suddenly opened a slit.

  It actually opened... Xia Chen was both surprised and delighted, his true energy followed the gap of the storage bag to explore inside, and suddenly felt a vast space inside.

  This feeling was similar to when he first observed the Heart of Divine Treasure, but compared to the almost infinite space within the treasure, this cyan storage bag was obviously much more cramped.

  However, his true energy is limited, and his perception is also very limited. Although he can feel the internal space of the storage bag, he still cannot perceive what's inside.

  After some thought, Xia Chen grasped the storage bag and once again channeled his true energy to enlarge the opening. Then with a forceful shake, he emptied everything inside out.

  The first things that fell to the ground were a dozen or so small wooden carvings of people, each only about the length of a finger. They were all pitch black and completely still, like toy models.

  It's said to be a small person, but it doesn't look like one at all. The vivid and ferocious face, the sharp claws, and the black tentacles growing from its back are almost identical to those blood puppets. It's clearly also a puppet, and judging by appearances, it's the culprit behind the black tentacles that attacked the disciples earlier.

  Then came down several pieces of snow-white jade slips, rectangular in shape, slightly shining, and it was unknown what they contained. Behind the jade slips were several snow-white round stones, which were yuan stones.

  The last thing to fall was a thick book, made of unknown leather, with what seemed to be dry and blackened bloodstains on it, its age evident at a glance. The cover of the book only had four large characters: "Evil Wind Poison Classic"!

  Apart from this, there's nothing but some ordinary and disorganized stuff left in the storage bag, which is worthless.

  Xia Chen first picked up those more than a dozen black puppets, looked at them for a while, and felt that they were somewhat eerie, which made him very unhappy. He originally wanted to destroy them, but after thinking twice, he still put them in the聚宝盆 (treasure basin).

  As for these jade slips, after inputting the true energy, they also had no reaction. It seems that they can only be viewed with divine thoughts. Xia Chen put them away one by one. As for the yuan stone, Xia Chen naturally took it all without hesitation.

  He drove Xiao Hei this time, almost burning all the yuan stones. Although there has been some replenishment now, the loss is still severe. These few pieces of yuan stone are simply not enough to fill the gap.

  "Broke devil, claiming to be some sort of ancestor, Yuan Shi only has a few pieces like this." Xia Chen muttered.

  If Blood Demon King were still alive underground and heard these words, he would be so angry that he would die from rage.

  He flipped through the Poison Classic, and Xia Chen glanced at it briefly. As expected, it recorded all kinds of poisonous methods, and marked countless highly toxic elixirs and organisms, it was simply a comprehensive guide to poison formulas.

  Strictly speaking, the use of poison is also a kind of alchemy, both are interconnected, it's just that the use of poison has further refined certain aspects. Although Xia Chen had not been involved in this before, one method is connected to all methods, he has a deep understanding of the way of elixirs and can make connections between different things, so naturally, reading this poisonous scripture is no problem for him.

  Moreover, towards the back of the manual, there were many tiny notes added by Xue Ye, which were his insights gained during his cultivation process, all written down in the Poison Manual.

  Xia Chen immediately treasured it like a precious gem, for this was the enlightenment and insight of a Double Cultivation Grandmaster, which had an enormous enlightening and reminding effect on him, something that could be encountered but not sought.

  In terms of application, the evil wind and poisonous gas were not as exciting to Xia Chen as these notes. Although he had the聚宝盆 (Treasure Basin), cultivation was not a problem, but the Treasure Basin would not actively teach him experience. These insights were like a giant lighthouse, illuminating a deep and straight path of cultivation for Xia Chen.

  What was obtained from the Blood Puppet King's body, this poisonous scripture is obviously the most valuable. After reading for half a day, Xia Chen reluctantly put away the Evil Wind Poison Scripture.

  He has been inside for long enough and doesn't know what a hurry the outside will be in; now he must make haste to break out.

  After circling around in space, Xia Chen could only vaguely see a few strips of forbidden lines faintly appearing and disappearing. He knew that this was only a part of the forbidden lines, and most of them were still invisible to him with his current abilities.

  Xue Kui Du Jun said that this space is connected to the forbidden source, and with a positioning compass, you can find the way out. I don't know if what I got was the positioning compass... Xia Chen thought, taking out the yin-yang disk from the聚宝盆 (treasure basin).

  On that day, after he obtained the Yin Yang Plate, he carefully studied it for half a day, tried using his true energy on it, threw it, and hit it, but the Yin Yang Plate showed no unusual signs.

  But now, he had just taken out the yin-yang disk, and was shocked to discover that it was emitting a bright blue light. The light grew stronger and stronger, illuminating all directions, and Xia Chen could only see the forbidden pattern clearly with great effort, as it flashed continuously under the light, unable to be hidden at all.

  Xia Chen's eyes widened in shock, filled with astonishment. He hadn't made any move just now, and this azure light was purely the Yin Yang Law Disk activating on its own.

  Was the positioning compass only effective in a forbidden environment? Xia Chen's mind flashed with an idea, he had already confirmed without a doubt that this yin-yang disk was indeed the positioning compass.

  He held up the positioning compass, walking slowly forward, and the blue light became increasingly brighter. In the blink of an eye, most of the forbidden symbols appeared, like transparent silk ribbons floating in mid-air.

  Every inch of space has a hidden pattern, and even under Xia Chen's feet, there are transparent patterns unfolding.

  Xia Chen looked at the flowers and was dazzled by so many forbidden patterns, almost unable to distinguish where he could go out. He calmed down, holding the positioning compass, and slowly transmitted his true energy into it.

  The yin and yang pattern on the compass slowly rotated, then the entire pattern emitted a snow-white light, weaving a three-dimensional light diagram above the compass.

  Xia Chen concentrated his mind and looked over, the true energy suddenly slowed down, that clear light immediately gradually became dimmer, the three-dimensional light diagram also flickered on and off, as if it was about to go out.

  Xia Chen hastily strengthened his true energy transmission, and the clear light immediately flourished again. The pattern gradually became complete, revealing its clear and complete appearance.

  It is a three-dimensional light sculpture, composed of countless fine and small light fibers that are intertwined with each other. Each strand of light intersects or runs parallel to others, but does not appear chaotic, instead giving an overall sense of unity. A small portion of the light fibers also change in a regular pattern, presenting a dynamic effect.

  Is this a Labyrinth Prohibition Stereogram? Xia Chen immediately guessed what it was, and couldn't help but feel surprised and delighted. It seemed that the Positioning Compass was indeed extraordinary.

  Fan Yun's fake positioning compass can only point out the location of the forbidden source, and it also fell into a trap. In comparison, his own positioning compass can display the entire forbidden area, which is much more powerful than that fake one.

  He focused his eyes and saw that in the center of the light thread, slightly to the left, there was an extremely small black dot. When he moved slightly, the black dot also moved with him.

  This black dot should represent where I am located, and these light threads should be the forbidden lines.

  He walked forward for a dozen or so yards, and the black dot also moved in the same direction, only moving an extremely short distance within the holographic image.

  If this light diagram could be enlarged, Xia Chen thought, suddenly, his heart moved, and he increased the true energy transmission intensity.

  At once, the holographic image slowly enlarged from its original plate size to a basin size, and the restricted space immediately became much clearer.

  Xia Chen saw that, at his location, countless seals curved over, forming an independent circular closed space. However, this space was not completely closed, but distributed with several exits, apparently the way out.
