To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

In terms of combat power alone, Chen Suzhen, who was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, was far superior to a second-stage early-stage demon beast.

After all, demonic beasts can only fight by relying on their bloodline and innate magic, and cannot control magical artifacts; their intelligence is also far inferior to that of cultivators.

But when facing two opponents, the situation is quite different.

More importantly, under the summoning of the purple dragon, the two demonic beasts were not targeting Chen Suzhen, but Gu Fan, who was fighting the dragon. As a result, Chen Suzhen could not move around easily if she wanted to hold off the demonic beasts, and could only withstand some attacks head-on.

Fortunately, he cultivated water magic, which made him no less formidable than demonic beasts in battle at sea, allowing him to hold on.

As for the other two second-tier demonic beasts, they were entangled by a cultivator in a green robe.

The green-robed cultivator had thick beard and hair, a leopard-like head, and piercing eyes. His magical weapon was a twelve-foot-long spear that looked like a withered tree trunk.

The spear pierced the blue jellyfish, instantly bursting into a burst of green light.

Visibly, roots burrow into the translucent body of the blue jellyfish, drawing its life force to bloom into vibrant flowers.

The azure jellyfish was in excruciating pain, its body trembling silently, shaking off all the flowers on its body. However, the holes pierced by its roots did not heal; instead, pale blue demonic blood seeped out.

A chilling aura emanated from beneath the blue sea turtle's feet, freezing the flowers before they could bloom and thus preventing their roots from penetrating its body.

The green-robed cultivator actually suppressed two second-tier demonic beasts with a single strike!

When Gu Fan severed the dragon's head, the blue-armored giant crab and the dark-gold electric eel, which were locked in combat with Chen Suzhen, immediately roared in terror. The numerous first-tier demonic beasts were even more helpless and began to scatter and flee.

After catching his breath, Gu Fan, without waiting for his magic power to recover, suddenly separated the Yin-Yang Wheels and slashed at the Azure-Armored Giant Crab and the Dark Gold Electric Eel.

The Sun Wheel, with immense force, slashed towards the giant blue-armored crab. The giant pincers, already injured by the Divine Water of the Profound, finally could not withstand the attack and were severed from the crab's body!

The Earth Flame Wheel moved with bizarre speed, rapidly slashing around the dark gold electric eel, leaving behind a series of fine wounds.

The two demonic beasts immediately abandoned Chen Suzhen and dived underwater, remaining hidden for a long time.

"They ran away?" Chen Suzhen asked with some regret.

If the two demonic beasts didn't run away, he and Gu Fan together could easily keep them all here!

Gu Fan reminded him, "There are two more over there!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Suzhen's spirits lifted. After taking a pill, she and Gu Fan stepped forward to help the green-robed cultivator.

With the combined efforts of the three, the already suppressed Azure Jellyfish and Jade Turtle had nowhere to escape.

At the same time, cheers rang out all around as nearly a hundred Qi Refining disciples were chasing after the fleeing first-tier demonic beast.

Not only were there outer disciples brought by Gu Fan, but also disciples who were originally stationed on Bibo Island.

At this moment, the green-robed cultivator also freed his hands and bowed to the two, saying, "I am Yan Tieyi. Thank you both for coming to help. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have had to flee in panic."

Chen Suzhen laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist Yan, what are you saying? If you hadn't held back the two second-tier demonic beasts in time, the two of us alone wouldn't have been able to defeat so many demonic beasts."

Chen Suzhen's statement is true.

Gu Fan was too busy fighting the dragon to pay attention to the others, but Chen Suzhen kept a close eye on the four second-tier demonic beasts. After all, the two had clearly divided their tasks before the battle: Gu Fan would deal with the dragon, while she would be responsible for holding off the other demonic beasts.

Yan Tieyi was originally an inner disciple guarding Bibo Island. Upon seeing the reinforcements appear, he decisively flew out of the barrier to join the battle, greatly reducing the pressure on Chen Suzhen.

After exchanging pleasantries and compliments, Gu Fan and his companion introduced themselves and displayed their sect's golden tokens.

Gu Fan said politely, "We have been ordered to guard Bibo Island. We will be troubling you in the future."

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. Please come aboard the island for a chat!"

Yan Tieyi reached out and led the two onto Bibo Island. The Qi Refining disciples lined up on both sides, casting awe-inspiring glances at the three, especially Gu Fan, whose sword strike that had just slain the dragon had left everyone in awe.

After the battle, the Qi Refining disciples cleaned up the battlefield on their own initiative, and the corpses of the three second-tier demonic beasts were dragged onto the island.

Gu Fan killed the dragon alone, so he obtained its body.

The other two were made by the three of them together, but Gu Fan didn't want more, and Yan Tieyi and Chen Suzhen each got one.

......

Bibo Island is full of spiritual energy and the sea breeze is gentle.

In a sheltered spot, there was a three-story stone palace, which served as the residence and training ground for the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect.

In a quiet room on the top floor of the Stone Palace, Yan Tieyi poured a cup of spiritual tea for the two of them.

"Please, both of you, taste the flavor of this crystal-clear spring."

Gu Fan nodded his thanks, picked up the teacup, and before he even took a sip, he sensed a rich spiritual energy emanating from it.

With a surprised twitch of his eyebrows, he took a small bite.

The sweetness of the tea and the aroma of the spiritual tea blended together and flowed downstream, dispersing into pure spiritual energy that circulated throughout the body. The magical power consumed in the battle just now was restored in a great deal, and the fatigue was also greatly reduced.

"This tea... is truly excellent!" Gu Fan praised with a smile.

Yan Tieyi laughed heartily: "There is a spiritual vein on the island that has nurtured a spiritual spring. The water used to brew this tea is produced by the spiritual spring, which can be considered a local specialty. We can say that we are in a good position to benefit from its proximity."

Chen Suzhen joked, "Senior Brother's cultivation is profound; could it be due to this spiritual spring?"

Although Yan Tieyi was also in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he was not far from the middle stage, making him the person with the highest cultivation among the three.

Upon hearing this, Yan Tieyi did not refute it, but nodded: "What Junior Brother said is not wrong, but it is not due to the spiritual spring, but rather another opportunity."

Gu Fan and Chen Suzhen exchanged a surprised glance, then turned to look at Yan Tieyi.

Yan Tieyi picked up the spirit tea and took a sip, then said unhurriedly, "To be honest, although there are spiritual veins here, the spiritual energy is much weaker than that of the sect, and we are threatened by sea beasts day and night. Therefore, the sect has provided some compensation."

Pointing to the mountain range on the island, Yan Tieyi explained, "Above the Spirit Spring is a stalactite that produces five drops of Cold Spring Stone Dew every year. It is a rare and precious natural treasure. According to the sect's rules, inner disciples stationed here can exchange for one drop by killing enough demonic beasts."

Gu Fan was overjoyed to hear this.

I thought that staying here would delay my cultivation, but I didn't expect it to have such benefits.

His gaze drifted wistfully towards the sea of ​​clouds, and he thought to himself, 'Looks like the demonic beasts are in for a tough time.'

After chatting for a while, Yan Tieyi explained the layout of the island to the two of them.

Gu Fan focused his questions on the array formation on the island.

Based on what we see today, the formation on the island is not of a high grade, probably only a second-tier low-grade formation.

With the abundant spiritual energy on the island, he would have enough time to set up a second-tier high-grade magic array in a few days. Even if all five demonic beasts were in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he would not be afraid. He would only be afraid that there would not be enough demonic beasts or that they would not come quickly enough!

Yan Tieyi was surprised to find that Gu Fan was actually a formation master, and his eyes lit up with delight.

He led the two on a tour of the island, and then sent someone to arrange accommodations before dispersing.

Gu Fan finally had time to look at his spoils of war, the mangled body of the dragon lying in his storage bag.

"You destroyed my protective magic artifact, so you'll pay with your scales!"
