Chapter 187: Earth Lung Poisonous Flame

Chapter 185

The first prize was invariably, an elixir.

It was an Inferior Grade 3 Plane-breaking Elixir, used to improve the cultivation of those below the Golden Core Plane.

In other words, if one took it at the ninth level of the Meditation Plane, one could directly break through to the Foundation Establishment Plane.

Taken by cultivators at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Plane would allow them to ascend directly to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment Plane.

The Plane-breaking Elixir was a variant of the Foundation Establishment Elixir, but was more perfect than the Foundation Establishment Elixir itself.

Nonetheless, in the eyes of elixir alchemists, this was a failed potion.

Because it required very precious medicinal materials to make it, and still, the result yielded was only a mere Inferior Grade 3.

Not only did it not fully extract the medicinal materials used to their utmost, but even its quality also could not be guaranteed.

Of course, Chen Jingzhai would not choose an elixir of this caliber.

The second prize was the black long spear. It was a spiritual item that could erupt with the power of a magic item.

In the cultivation world, this was called a pseudo magic treasure and was considered a very rare item.

The truly astounding quality about this spear was the runes that were engraved upon it; these were the runes of the Corpse Refining Talisman.

It could absorb the malicious spirits as well as the blood aura, which was also the basis for this magic treasure’s power.

However, as far as a suitable spiritual item was concerned, this thing was equally useless to Chen Jingzhai.

The third prize was a little surprising to Chen Jingzhai, but pleasantly so.

The demonic corpse refinement sounded a bit evil, and some would imagine that it was something unorthodox and unethical.

But this was the refinement process that was part of making the Dao soldiers.

Refining corpses into Dao soldiers was completely different from corpses being refined into people such as Xu Zixiao.

Corpse refinement was used to refine the living to death, while the method of the demonic corpse was to refine the dead into half-dead.

It was not to resurrect the dead but to a strange in-between state.

Chen Jingzhai chose the jade slip, and after reading what was on it, he was immediately amazed by the whimsical thoughts behind the text.

The way of the Dao soldiers was also among the inheritances at the Luo Sheng Sword School, and there were several of them.

But not everyone was capable of this refinement, let alone refining it at will.

The process required a lot of resources, the most critical being the need for core materials.

In comparison, the method of refining the demonic corpse was not as particular as that. It was possible to obtain materials right on the spot.

Cultivators may use the corpses of demonic beasts or even the sea beasts for refinement.

Dao soldiers were not puppets. They had their own separate consciousness, but they were incapable of cultivation. Their own power depended entirely on the wishes of those who made the Dao soldiers in the first place.

Naturally, the successful refinement of powerful Dao soldiers required the investment of even more precious materials.

Chen Jingzhai had the Primordial Essence World where there was no shortage of resources, and some precious materials were available there too.

The demonic corpses of Dao soldiers could be said to be just what Chen Jingzhai needed.

The only thing was that their appearance was rather scary after being refined; they may scare little children if they were running around.

So, Chen Jingzhai thought of the mask magic treasure.

If cultivated properly, the mask should give him the effect he desired.

At that time, he would be able to completely change the followers, especially when he left the Woods Ocean Ancient Path.

When he thought about this, Chen Jingzhai calmed his mind as he walked into the restriction.

The nineteenth level.

It was the same immense space, but there was an exquisite little building.

There were flowers and trees all around the little building. Although they were not anything unusual, they were extremely fragrant and pleasant.

As soon as Chen Jingzhai landed, not only did he smell the fragrance of the flowers, but he also detected a rich essence power.

The essence power of this level far exceeded that of the eighteenth level. It had reached the requirements needed for Foundation Establishment cultivators to go into retreat.

Among the flowers and trees, a figure in white was facing away from Chen Jingzhai.

The figure sat among the sea of flowers and was concentrating on weaving flower baskets, with a sense of peace and quiet.

“The seventeenth level was the human-faced ghost eagle.”

“The eighteenth level was the Corpse Refinement General.”

“I was rather looking forward to the nineteenth level, but I didn’t expect to see an enchantress here.”

“The Corpse Refinement General had a Grade 3 physique; it seems that your enchantment is stronger than his.”

Chen Jingzhaisaid said as he looked at the figure whose back was turned towards him.

The person seemed to possess a beautiful form from the back, with a special attraction that was impossible for anyone to ignore.

“It’s been a long time since anyone entered the Demon Subduing Tower!”

“The fact that you are able to come here demonstrates that you have astounding talent and strength.”

“Why don’t you take me away, and I will help you in your cultivation.”

The enchantress turned around, revealing a lovely profile, suggesting a beauty that could rival Su Qinghuang.

“Are you serious?” Chen Jingzhai shook his head a bit, too unmotivated to even engage in her nonsense.

The flame appeared in front of him out of nowhere, morphing into a firebird as it flew out.

Wherever the firebird passed, it ignited the flowers and trees in its path and lit them on fire.

Even the delicate little building was not spared by the fire, and it ignited with extreme ease.

The enchantress, who appeared quite nonchalant before, was instantly irate. She turned into a stream of light that swooped down upon Chen Jingzhai.

It was at this time that the other half of her face could be seen clearly: it was extremely unsightly.

It seemed as if that side of her face had been chopped by an ax, or had been hammered, as there were various scars and other irregularities.

A look of disgust flashed through Chen Jingzhai’s eyes. A water dragon was unleashed with a wave of his hand.

The water dragon converged and aimed fiercely at the enchantress.

The enchantress was terribly upset about being stymied, and her embarrassment became anger. A dark green smoke came out of her open mouth.

The smoke floated into clouds, which actually corroded Chen Jingzhai’s water dragon technique.

“What?” Chen Jingzhai was quite stunned. “I was wrong. You are not born from the essence of plants and trees, but a mixture of the essence of plants, the energy of the clouds, and the Qi from the earth lung.”

The enchantress kept silent, merely looking at him coldly, as the dark green smoke quickly filled the air.

The dark green smoke was clearly poisonous and corrosive.

Naturally, Chen Jingzhai would not engage in a battle like this.

In the battle with Xu Zixiao, he had refused to engage in close-quarter combat. Even though his own physical body was extremely powerful, he still chose to use spells instead. When faced with something like the enchantress, he would not be engaging her closely.

It was better to keep moving while fighting. It would ensure that no harm would come to him, and no unexpected situations. It was all very clean.

The most important thing was that his opponent couldn’t touch or get close to him, and was as mad as can be.

Chen Jingzhai disappeared with a flicker. In the next moment, he was standing up on high and surveying everything below.

The firebird burned up everything that could be burned and plunged straight back into the flames.

Then, under Chen Jingzhai’s will, all the burning flames gathered together and gave rise to a giant fire raven.

The face of the enchantress changed dramatically, as she dove directly into the dark green smoke.

And then, she merged one with the smoke and rushed quickly toward Chen Jingzhai.

But before she could get closer, the fire raven swooped down. One flap of its wings, and the flames spurted outward.

With a sizzling sound, the dark green smoke was instantly singed by the flames.

The enchantress suddenly let out a shrill, the sound of which was somewhat similar to the whistling sound of the Mourning Staff.

But its power to beguile was getting stronger, which ate away any thoughts of resistance.

However, with the divine stone governing Chen Jingzhai’s brow chakra, this little trick was not enough to affect him.

Seeing that Chen Jingzhai was not affected, the enchantress directly shut herself down.

Before she could continue to attack, the fire rave rushed down. This time its target was clear as day.

Instead of extending its claws, it slammed into the dark green smoke.

The flames directly wrapped it up, and then immediately began to burn in earnest.

“It’s over!”

“Tsk tsk, it’s truly amazing.”

“The poisonous gas from the earth’s lung alone cannot be blocked by ordinary cultivators.”

“Not to mention its powerful ability to beguile.”

“I’m afraid those Golden Core Sages who took shortcuts would fall victim to it.”

Chen Jingzhai descended from the sky, as he watched the floating flaming sphere, and murmured softly to himself.

The twenty-four levels of the Demon Subduing Tower were designed so that the difficulty increased with each level.

And this enchantress indeed qualified to be on the nineteenth level.

An ordinary enchantress was but a spirit born from grass and trees, which was then touched by human essence, often by chance.

But this one was conceived by the essence of plants mixed with poisonous gas from the earth’s lung as well as the energy of the clouds.

The poisonous gas from the earth’s lung was something that not even Nascent Zhenjuns dared to get close to.

This thing was highly contaminant to Golden Core and Nascent Soul.

Even his Dharma Intent was easily corroded, which spoke of its prowess.

But it was still afraid of the fire, especially the flames spawned by Chen Jingzhai’s pure essence power.

Ultimately, the enchantress was far from perfect. It, too, had its weaknesses.

Chen Jingzhai shook his head, as he waved away the fireball.

The enchantress did not even leave a corpse. There was only a faint trace of clouds that dissipated in the air.

He came before the restriction, and unsurprisingly, three prizes rose up to meet him.

The first prize was still an elixir. Inferior Grade 3 Spirit Nourishing Elixir that could strengthen the divine mind.

Chen Jingzhai, who could produce this very elixir by now, passed it over.

The second prize was the rudimentary form of a rare cloud-shaped magic treasure.

Chen Jingzhai was very interested in it. However, after learning more about it, he chose to pass it up as well.

Because the third prize turned out to be a poisonous flame from the earth’s lung.

“Grade 3 spirit fire!”

“This is a rare existence for item alchemists and elixir alchemists.”

“In Pulao Kingdom, it can only be found in the secret zone of celestial clans.”

“It’s definitely an absolutely rare treasure: it’s impossible not to choose it.”

Chen Jingzhai did not hesitate to put away this poisonous flame from the earth lung.
