Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 186: The Power of the Trump Card (Please Subscribe)

In front of Bai Tingting, Chen Xuan showed his trump card and naturally had to demonstrate his true strength.

"Everyone has their own innate magical powers."

Bai Tingting pointed at the three strange insects and said, "Let them attack me and try."

"Okay! Lord Bai, be careful!"

Bai Tingting smiled, her lips slightly raised, full of confidence.

Chen Xuan's words were purely polite.

If the strange insects under his command could harm Bai Tingting, then there would be no need for him to cooperate with her.

The first to appear is the Thousand-Eyed Centipede.

Standing upright, the thousand eyes on its body emitted thousands of golden rays of light, shooting towards Bai Tingting.

"what?"

An invisible transparent shield appeared in front of Bai Tingting, blocking the thousands of golden lights outside.

However, Bai Tingting sensed that her transparent shield was showing signs of instability under the continuous attack of thousands of golden lights.

"What kind of magical power is this? It can actually melt my aura shield?"

Chen Xuan was even more surprised.

Bai Tingting's shield was actually transparent.

This further confirms that she is likely a water-attributed cultivator.

Chen Xuan signaled the Thousand-Eyed Centipede to stop.

"Is this the Thousand-Eyed Centipede I gave you last time?"

Bai Tingting looked at it curiously.

"You're only four years old, and you've actually advanced to the first-grade upper level. Fellow Daoist Chen, you're truly amazing."

After sighing, Bai Tingting continued, "However, Fellow Daoist Chen, have you ever thought about this? The lifespan of demon insects is much shorter than that of demon beasts. I don't know what method you used to accelerate their growth, but after reaching the highest level, it's difficult to accelerate it any further."

"Master Bai has a keen eye, indeed."

Chen Xuan sighed lightly.

"After the Thousand-Eyed Centipede advanced to the second stage, it seems very powerful. However, it is very difficult for this kind of demon insect to advance to the next stage. Unless it is born with wisdom and has the chance to swallow a natural treasure that can help it advance."

Bai Tingting is indeed an expert, she hit the nail on the head.

"However, to be able to advance to the first-grade upper level at just over four years old, this Thousand-Eyed Centipede must have wisdom. If Fellow Daoist Chen can find the right natural treasures, there is still hope for him to advance to the second level."

Bai Tingting said with some envy.

I was thinking, should I also catch a Thousand-Eyed Centipede to cultivate.

After all, the golden light of this thousand-eyed centipede has quite a strong attack power.

The next to appear was the Pipa Scorpion.

The first thing to be demonstrated is the art of concealment.

The body of the Pipa Scorpion can blend into the surrounding environment and disguise itself as a part of it.

Next was the earth escape technique, he dug into the earth and quickly disappeared without a trace.

After only a dozen breaths, when he came out, he was already ten feet away.

Chen Xuan waved his hand and called back the Pipa Poison Scorpion.

Bai Tingting asked doubtfully, "Anything else?"

Chen Xuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "There's also its scorpion tail hook. However, its toxicity is a bit special, so it's not easy to use on the Bai Village Master."

"I know that the Pipa Poisonous Scorpion ranks second on the Myriad Poison Mountains' list of strange insects. Whether it's a demon beast or a cultivator, being poisoned by the scorpion's tail hook will cause severe pain."

Bai Tingting said lightly.

"Its scorpion tail hook can break almost any defense."

Chen Xuan truthfully told the powerful features of the Pipa Scorpion.

"Even if it's a second-level monster, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, no matter how strong their body is, can't defend against it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tingting looked very surprised.

This was beyond her imagination.

"really?"

"Seriously. Let me put it this way, the red-eyed bamboo snake is not even worthy of carrying its shoes."

Bai Tingting believed what Chen Xuan said.

A medium-grade red-eyed green bamboo snake can threaten those in the late stage of Qi training.

If the Pipa Scorpion did not have the potential to far surpass the Red-eyed Bamboo Snake, why would Chen Xuan cultivate it as a treasure?

The last to appear is the psychic green snake.

Bai Tingting was horrified at just one look.

"Where did you get this dragon descendant?"

At this time, the psychic green snake had horns on its head and scales on its body, and it already had the appearance of a dragon.

"Haha, what a coincidence. It's a psychic green snake with the blood of the Ice Dragon in its body."

Then, in front of Bai Tingting, the psychic green snake demonstrated skills such as the Sensuous Ice Blade, the Extremely Cold Ice Mist, and the Deep Sea Dragon Roar.

"Don't you have a magic treasure? Don't hide it. Show it to me!"

The psychic green snake spit out the glazed eight-treasure fan and fanned it towards Bai Tingting.

In an instant, the violent wind raged, with flashes of cold light shooting out like lightning.

"Fun!"

Bai Tingting opened her mouth and spit out a small whirlwind. It grew bigger and bigger and soon formed a tornado, colliding with the storm from the Glazed Eight Treasures Fan.

It was obvious that the storm from the Glazed Eight Treasures Fan seemed to be sucked in by something, its potential energy becoming smaller and smaller until it gradually disappeared.

The tornado continued to rotate in the same place, and after absorbing the potential energy of the storm, it grew even bigger.

Chen Xuan froze on the spot.

He finally knew Bai Tingting's characteristics.

A water-attributed cultivator who also practices wind magic.

Wood produces thunder, water produces wind.

Bai Tingting, like herself, is gifted and has practiced a technique with mutant attributes.

The psychic green snake obviously knew that it was no match for the opponent, so it put away the glazed eight-treasure fan and returned to Chen Xuan's shoulder.

"She's strong."

"I know."

Having received recognition from the psychic green snake, Chen Xuan became more confident in working together.

"Did you see it?"

"Yes. Water cultivation, and also wind cultivation."

Chen Xuan smiled: "So, if we work together, it's a win-win situation!"

Bai Tingting shook her head.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, if this is all you have, there's no point in cooperating. The Shadow Forest is full of dangers, and I don't want to be a burden."

"Master Bai, don't underestimate me!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

The Qingmu Sword has been nurtured for a long time and its quality has reached the highest level.

At this moment, under the infusion of Chen Xuan's magic power, the green sword light was dazzling and as fast as lightning, flashing towards a cliff in front.

There was a "boom".

The huge cliff was split into two parts, and a sword mark about ten feet long appeared.

This time, Bai Tingting was really shocked.

Is this the power that a Qi-cultivating cultivator can exert?

"Are you a sword cultivator?"

The sword light just now made Bai Tingting feel a little nervous.

Obviously, this sword light could threaten her.

"That's it."

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Chen has such high attainments in swordsmanship!"

Bai Tingting couldn't help but exclaimed.

The strange insects can only serve as auxiliary and are of little use against truly powerful monsters and cultivators.

However, Chen Xuan’s superb swordsmanship skills are another matter.

Bai Tingting was very sure that Chen Xuan could kill a second-level low-grade monster or a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building by himself.

If she and Chen Xuan join forces, they can kill the second-level medium-grade monster and obtain more resources.

Even when facing a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, the two of them can remain fearless and have the strength to fight.

Who will kill the deer is unknown.

In fact, Bai Tingting didn’t know that this was just Chen Xuan’s trump card.

The divine power of clairvoyance is Chen Xuan’s most powerful trump card.

He can see through all illusions, understand the origin of all things, instantly seize the opponent's flaws, and kill with one fatal blow.

Second-order low-grade monsters and cultivators in the early stages of foundation building were no match for him.

If used properly, it can threaten cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Brother Chen has such strength, we can indeed cooperate."

Bai Tingting's attitude changed quickly.

"However, the ancient cultivators' caves are always heavily restricted and not so easy to explore."

"Let Master Bai know that I, Chen, have another special skill." Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said confidently, "Although I don't know how to set up formations, I am gifted and can see through the secrets of formations. Ordinary restrictions will not be a problem for me."

After hearing these words, Bai Tingting was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

Formation is the most difficult of all the arts of cultivation.

Chen Xuan admitted that he was not good at setting up formations, but he could see through the operation of the formations, which was of great help in exploring the ancient cultivators' caves.

In this way, the two do have a basis for cooperation.

Bai Tingting is confident that her strength is not inferior to that of a mid-stage foundation building cultivator.

Chen Xuan, on the other hand, has various means such as strange insects, swordsmanship, and formations, which can assist her in fighting.

If he succeeds in building his foundation, Chen Xuan's strength will not be much lower than hers.

"Actually, I know where there are thunder beasts."

This time, it was Chen Xuan's turn to be surprised.

"Ten years ago, when my master was slaying a wind beast to obtain its inner elixir for me, he discovered a group of thunder beasts."

"I suppose it's still there."

Chen Xuan asked, "Were you talking about a group of thunder beasts?"

Bai Tingting smiled sweetly.

"So, let's go explore the ancient cultivator's cave first. The Thunder Beast's habitat is even deeper in the Shadow Forest."

"Alright."

Chen Xuan thought for a while and agreed to visit the ancient cultivator's cave first.

The two quickly reached an agreement and set off for Shadow Forest a month later.

Chen Xuan began to check for omissions and prepare various life-saving spiritual items.

He first went to Elder Zhao's house.

I spent two thousand spirit stones to buy two bottles of thousand-year-old spirit milk.

Originally, he was rewarded with a bottle of thousand-year-old spiritual milk in the performance competition.

There are only ten drops in each bottle, but it is very effective in restoring mana.

Short time, fast recovery, and high mana recovery.

Go home.

The incarnation of the wood spirit is studying Taoist scriptures, reciting while shaking his head.

At this time, the incarnation of the wood spirit already had 70% of his outline, and was agile in movement. It was completely impossible to tell that it was an incarnation made by the sacred tree.

Moreover, Chen Xuan's incarnation of the wood spirit is different from others.

The purple sacred wood used has a great origin.

The original body is at least a third-level demon cultivator.

"Mu Ling, take the Taoist scriptures with you. We are going on a trip, which will probably take two or three months."

Mu Ling nodded, said nothing, and continued to recite Taoist scriptures.

The calamity-replacing characteristic of the Wood Spirit incarnation can give him at least one more life.

The Qinglong Bell was also sent to the Qianji Sect shop in the inner city. The best second-level weapon refiner was hired to refine it again by adding precious materials such as Geng gold, mithril, and heavy copper.

The quality is improved to the best.

It can completely withstand the full force attack of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

At the same time, the Cloud Piercer was repaired and upgraded. The quality did not improve, but the speed and load capacity were increased.

In addition, he also purchased first-grade top-grade talismans, top-grade spiritual wine, top-grade spiritual pills, etc.

There are one hundred medium-grade spirit stones in the spirit stone bag.

The black gourd was filled with more than a dozen ghosts for the soul-devouring devil worm to feed on.

More than a dozen large animal bags were prepared to hold monster meat.

I bought a lot of empty jade boxes to store the various spiritual objects I harvested.

After repeated checks, the Qingmu Sword, Qinglong Bell, Chuanyun Shuttle, and Black Gourd were ready, as were the thousand-year-old spiritual milk, mid-grade spiritual stones, spiritual wine, spiritual pills, talismans, jade boxes, beast bags, and so on.

All kinds of strange insects are brought with them.

The 70,000-strong army of Jade-faced Poisonous Bees still followed the expedition.

After Wang Fugui asked for leave for him, Chen Xuan said goodbye to the two ladies and flew straight to Baijiazhai in the Cloud Shuttle.

Two days later.

A strange-shaped airship, carrying two monks, a man and a woman, flew out of Baijiazhai and headed towards the dangerous Shadow Forest.

Bai Tingting was dressed in white, carrying the Hanpo Sword on her back, and was driving the airship in front.

It has to be said that this strangely shaped airship is incredibly fast, far exceeding Chen Xuan's Cloud Shuttle.

The entire airship is oval in shape.

The bow of the boat is very sharp and slightly raised, and the front windward surface is very small.

The surface of the airship is particularly smooth, presenting a streamlined beauty.

The wind was blowing, and Bai Tingting's ponytail fluttered gently, making her look heroic and particularly refreshing.

Chen Xuan was dressed in a blue shirt, like a scholar. He stood calmly behind Bai Tingting, gazing into the distance.

Look out at the heavy mist in the Shadow Forest.

He had entered the Shadow Forest many times, but never went deep into it.

The gray mist in the forest can block the spiritual consciousness and magic power of the monks, but it has little effect on Chen Xuan.

An hour later.

The color of the mist grew darker and darker.

This meant that they were gradually entering the depths of the Shadow Forest.

Even as a wood cultivator, Chen Xuan's spiritual awareness and magic power were restricted by 20%.

Fortunately, it has no effect on evil insects such as the psychic green snake.

Not only does it have no effect, the aura and mist of the Shadow Forest can even promote their growth and practice.

This is an excellent spiritual place for monsters and insects to practice.

"Let's go down."

Bai Tingting folded up the airship, and the two landed on the ground and started walking.

In the Shadow Forest, there are many powerful gregarious birds.

It is difficult to escape when a cultivator is discovered by gregarious demonic birds while riding on a flying magical instrument.

If the number of evil birds is large enough, the cultivator will be trapped among them and unable to escape, which will be very dangerous.

Chen Xuan patted the insect bag on his waist.

The black mist billowed.

The Jade-faced Queen Bee led an army of 70,000 poisonous bees and marched forward in a mighty force to conduct reconnaissance.

"This poisonous bee is quite interesting!"

Bai Tingting said with some envy.

"Raising it costs spirit stones. Top-grade monster meat costs two to three hundred spirit stones a month now."

"Forget it, I can't afford it."

Bai Tingting quickly gave up the idea of breeding poisonous bees.

The sky is big, the earth is big, and the spirit stone is the biggest.

The two of them continued forward along the path created by the army of poisonous bees.

From time to time, we encounter first-level medium-grade and first-level high-grade monsters.

Human monks are rarely seen.

Only occasionally would one encounter a monster hunting team of seven or eight people.

Basically, they are led by demon hunters who have completed their Qi training.

Seeing the Foundation Establishment cultivator Bai Tingting and the poisonous bee guard Chen Xuan, they both avoided him from a distance.

They hang out in the Shadow Forest all year round, and one look at the two of them reveals they are not to be trifled with.

As they went deeper and deeper, the army of poisonous bees began to fight.

Under the leadership of the Jade-faced Queen Bee, they besieged some lone first-grade high-quality monsters.

Some intelligent monsters fled in panic when they saw the army of poisonous bees.

Chen Xuan carefully commanded the poisonous bees to fight.

The lone monster was only of the first-grade upper grade and was no match for the army of poisonous bees.

The poisonous flame golden silkworm, iron-backed mantis, and heavy-armored cricket were also summoned, mixed in with the army of poisonous bees, and dealt a fatal blow to the surrounded high-grade monster.

Then, he started to eat with relish.

Chen Xuan stopped and let these strange insects and poisonous bees have a good meal first.

The psychic green snake was still in his sleeve, using his talent to sense the nearby spirits.

The Pipa Poison Scorpion and the Thousand-Eyed Centipede stood on both sides of his shoulders, ready to attack at any time.

Bai Tingting looked relaxed.

As a foundation-building cultivator who is proficient in wind magic, her perception ability is extremely strong and she can easily sense the aura of a strong person ten miles away.

First-level monsters, as long as there are not many of them, will not pose a threat to her.

At this time, we have not yet entered the territory of the second-level monster.

The two took a short rest to recover their magic power.

Compare the markings in the geographical jade slips, identify the direction, and study the route ahead.
