Chapter 153: Refining the Secret Treasure

  His mind sank into the Bloodline Ring, and Shi Yan immediately saw the Xuan Ice Flame inside the Bloodline Ring. The Xuan Ice Flame was still trapped, unable to break free from the Bloodline Ring's restraint.

  The Blood Vein Ring was constantly releasing a chill, the chill came from the Xuan Ice Flame, and it slowly seeped into Shi Yan's body.

  Two pieces of Qingyue Stone, from the Qingscale Beast in the sea. In the previous battle, several Qingscale Beasts that were killed by Linda sank to the bottom of the sea before Shiyan secretly manipulated them and took out the Qingyue Stones from their bodies.

  Qīng Yuè Shí is a type of stone that forms inside the body of Qīng Lín Beast. It does not possess any energy and can only emit a faint crystal light, which has a calming effect on the mind.

  According to Kamon and others, the Qingyue Stone seems to be the future demon crystal of the Qingscale Beast as well. Once the Qingscale Beast reaches level 6, the Qingyue Stone can store its power and become an energy-possessing demon crystal.

  In this case, Qingyue Stone should also be able to store other energies.

  Shi Yan's eyes gleamed with interest when he heard Ka Lun and the others talk about the uses of Qing Yue Stone. This time, while in the ocean, he collected two pieces of Qing Yue Stone to see if they could store some of the cold air that belonged to Xuan Bing Han Yan.

  Xuan Bing's cold flames were sealed by the Blood Pattern Seal, but a chill still seeped out.

  This chill permeates the entire body of the stone, but he can't find many ways to use it, and only when covering his spiritual power can the chill be added on top of his spiritual power.

  However, only the spiritual power of the boulder in the hundred-calamity realm is not thick enough, and after one or two spiritual impacts, the spiritual power will be completely exhausted.

  With most of his physical strength still unrecovered at present, Shi Yan had to find a new source of power to deal with the unknown situation.

  Qīng Yuè Shí còu shàng xuè wén jiè, shí yán xīn shén yù dòng, shì zhe yòng jīng shén lì jiāng xuè wén jiè nèi de hán qì yǐn chū lái.

  A thread of icy power quietly flowed out from within the blood-patterned ring...

  Under the connection of spiritual power between Shiyue and Xingyue, it seems that a small bridge has been formed between the Blood Pattern Ring and the Blue Moon Stone. The spiritual power serves as the bridge body, connecting the Blue Moon Stone and the Blood Pattern Ring together.

  The power of ice and frost seeped from the blood-patterned ring, slowly infusing into the Qingyue stone.

  The Qingyue Stone emitted a hazy blue light, which gradually brought with it a cold and desolate white glow. The Qingyue Stone in hand slowly became icy cold to the bone.

  In the Qingyue Stone, there was an additional thread of fine hair-like cold air lines. Those lines were very clear and burst out with a cool white light.

  It works as expected!

  Shi Yan's heart was filled with joy, his spirit and energy concentrated, continuing to urge the cold air flowing from the Xuan Bing Han Yan into the Qing Yue Stone.

  The Qingyue stone was getting colder and colder, feeling like an ice cube in hand, but Shi Yan controlled it well, without leaking too much cold air.

  Gradually, the surface of Qingyue Stone had more and more textures, gradually having dense cracks. As the cold air of Xuanbing Han Yan penetrated, Qingyue Stone seemed to have reached its limit in containing the cold air. If the cold air continued to increase, Qingyue Stone might burst open.

  The stone statue's expression was solemn and its gaze was like a torch, fixed unblinkingly on the Qingyue Stone in its hand.

  When he found that the Qingyue Stone seemed to have really reached its limit, he decisively moved the Qingyue Stone away from the Blood Pattern Ring and withdrew the spiritual power connecting both sides.

  Qīng Yuè Shí's icy coldness was unmatched, but because his body had been altered by the Xuan Bing's icy flames, he didn't fear those cold airs.

  Faint wisps of cold air, stored within the Qingyue Stone, were wrapped around its center. Without touching the Qingyue Stone, one couldn't feel the astonishing chill emanating from this small stone.

  Carefully putting away this piece of Qingyue Stone, Shi Yan used the same method to infuse another piece of Qingyue Stone with cold air.

  The two pieces of Qingyue Stone both had obvious cracks. With just one violent collision, the Qingyue Stone would probably shatter immediately.

  Once the Qingyue Stone explodes, the massive cold air contained within will be immediately ejected.

  The chill of the dark ice flames was far more terrifying than the cold air contained in the two small pieces of Qingyue Stone, which was even greater than that within the body of the Xuanbing Beast that had rampaged across Menluo Island.

  Once the cold air bursts out, the people around will inevitably be affected and may even be frozen into ice sculptures by the cold air.

  Before his physical strength has recovered, these two pieces of Qingyue Stone can also be considered a secret treasure, and at critical moments they may come in handy.

  Two pieces of Qingyue stone were carefully collected, and Shi Yan continued to meditate with his eyes closed, feeling the changes within the cave.

  An hour later.

  A thread of strange power, quietly flowing out from the hole, under the full operation of the stone rock's spirit, those strange powers poured into his dantian's essence light group.

  A few people with martial arts skills had refined their energy, but for Shi Yan, who was now in the midst of a hundred tribulations, it was just a drop in the bucket. The negative emotions that overflowed from his acupoints as he purified those powers didn't even affect his mental state.

  Although the overflowing strange power was small, it was better than nothing. When this strange power surged into his essence orb, Shi Yan discovered that his essence had grown slightly stronger again. The essence in his body had recovered to about 30-40% of its peak state.

  As long as he is willing, he can now directly take action to kill Kamon. Even if it's against Linda, relying on the martial soul and the subtlety of his martial skills, he can also make Linda surrender.

  Shi Yan's mind was greatly settled, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he continued to quietly recover his vital energy.

  "Now, your food." At about three o'clock in the day, Jett suddenly came over, casually tossing over a large piece of dried meat and handing over a bag of clear water.

  Shi Yan opened his eyes and smiled slightly, saying: "How come there's meat to eat today?"

  These days, Shi Yan has been gnawing on dry rice balls on the boat. The crew members have big bowls of wine and meat, but no one has ever treated him with kindness.

  Linda wasn't particular about food and just instructed Jett to give Shiyan a meal every day. Most of the time, Linda was resting below deck, so she didn't know how Shiyan was being treated in terms of food.

  "You've got some guts, this dried meat is a personal gift to you, don't let Kamon see it or he'll definitely give me trouble." Jet chuckled, "No matter how much power you have, being surrounded by the Qīng Lín beast and still jumping into the sea, that proves you're not a coward. I respect that about you, you're a real man, so you deserve to be treated with meat."

  Jie Te has always been in a state of double heaven on earth, and on the ship, he has always looked up to Wei Lin Da Ma.

  Apart from Linda, he also needs to take care of Kamon's emotions. After all, Kamon is not light on the ship and has a deep understanding with Linda. Kamon doesn't like Shiyan, so he didn't dare give meat to Shiyan before.

  This time Shi Yan's performance made Jie Tuo somewhat appreciative, and he took the opportunity to secretly add some delicious food for Shi Yan while Na Ka Mo was meditating with his eyes closed.

  Shi Yan tore at the dried meat with his teeth, taking a sip of clear water with each bite, and smiled faintly: "I'll remember this favor."

  Jett burst out laughing, "I don't want your gratitude, if you weren't a bit gutsy, I wouldn't bother with you. Honestly, I didn't like the way you were so close to Linda, naked and all that, at the time I wanted to beat you up, heh."

  Shi Yan smiled slightly and shook his head without saying anything more.

  "Alright, eat slowly and don't let Kamon find out, or that guy might come after me. Jet stood up, patted Shiyan's shoulder and said with a smile: "You little brat, remember this, Sister Linda is the soul of our ship, you shouldn't have any illusions, Sister Linda has a boundless future ahead of her, she'll be the core disciple of the Divine Sect one day, someone you can't match up to."

  "I know." Shiyuan smiled and nodded.

  Jett didn't say much more, smiling as he walked away from this side and gathered with other crew members, whispering and laughing strangely, discussing some unknown topic.

  The Qī Lín beast did not continue its pursuit.

  Four fourth-level Green Scale Beasts were trapped by Shi Yan's Magnetic Field for at least a day and night. The four fourth-level Green Scale Beasts were gone, the rest of the Green Scale Beasts chased for a while before finally giving up.

  The small boat had long since passed through the fog and was once again on its normal course, continuing towards the southeastern direction of Yunxia Island.

  Yunxia Island is the island of the Gu family, and Yunxia Island is very close to the Galo Sea area. This time, the Yang family's revenge action against the Gu and Dongfang families, Yunxia Island is one of the key targets.

  It is said that the ancient family's stronghold on Yunxia Island has been uprooted, and many of the ancient family's guards have died in it.

  Recently, the strong men of the Yang family have been looking for trouble with the Dongfang family. However, they didn't bother with Yunxia Island. The Gu family took this opportunity to rebuild the defenses of Yunxia Island and sent strong men to Yunxia Island to resist the fierce attack of the Yang family.

  Among the masters of the Gu family, there were Gu Jian Ge and his father Gu Lie, as well as dozens of other powerful members of the Gu family. These people came to Yunxia Island not only to rebuild it but also primarily to negotiate with the Yang family, hoping to stop fighting them.

  Because of the recent movements in the Fourth Demon Domain, it seems that the demons are planning a large-scale invasion. The Yang family has also accepted the Gu family's proposal and is preparing to send someone to Yunxia Island to discuss this matter with them.

  Shi Yan wanted to go to Yunxia Island with Linda and others because he knew that Gu Jian Ge would be going to the island, and also knew that people from the Yang family might also be heading to Yunxia Island. He even suspected that Xia Xinyan would appear, so he wanted to join in on the excitement.

  Evening

  The small boat sailed into an area of sea dotted with hidden reefs.

  Linda quietly got off the boat, her hair fluttering, and frowned: "Hang out all the flags of the Divine Sect, be careful, there are pirates around here."

  "Sister Linda, dare the pirates to lay hands on our ships?" Huo Jie sneered coldly, "They must have eaten bear hearts and leopard gall, if they knew that our ships belonged to the Divine Sect, they would still dare to take action, I will make them swallow their own fists!"

  In the vast ocean, there are pirates emerging on various islands. Pirates have no fixed residence and will take advantage of any opportunity to plunder passing ships.

  Generally, pirates do not dare to attack the ships of the 15 major powers, but there are also bold and unscrupulous pirates who will take risks and make a fortune before escaping to another sea area, without fear of being pursued across the seas.

  "It's not usually the case, but it's hard to say." Linda frowned and said: "If it were a big ship like the Sun Moon Star of the Divine Sect, it would mean that there are high-ranking members of the Divine Sect on board, so the pirates wouldn't dare to act rashly. But our small boat is clearly a transport vessel for outer sect disciples of the Divine Sect, and there's probably no one with any real abilities on board, so who knows if the pirates might not be tempted to take action."

  "Hmph! One comes and one dies, two come and a pair die!" Kamon sneered with disdain on his face, "A mere pirate, not even worth my attention."

  "Haha! You're quite arrogant! I'd like to see what makes you so confident!"

  A loud, maniacal laugh suddenly came from behind a huge dark reef in the distance. As the laughter died down, several small boats emerged from behind the reefs and quickly approached Linda's ship.
