Purple Mist Dao Master

Chapter 726 - 443 "Wisdom Eye"!_2

The commotion of the ’Eight-winged Centipede’ shook the ’North Mansion’ and reached the ’stone room’."No need to panic, you two." From above the stone room, Yan Chuan’s voice came: "I’m hunting the Eight-winged Centipede, the aftermath of the battle might affect the ’North Mansion’."

Eight-winged Centipede!

Water Beast King!

Lu Yuru and Ding Xiang steadied themselves and exchanged a glance, doubt in their eyes—

They had never heard of such a Beast King around Tan Valley Royal City!

Moreover, from the time they entered the North Mansion stone room until now, at most two or three hours had passed. In such a short time, how did Yan Chuan set off from Tan Valley Royal City and find the Eight-winged Centipede?

Ding Xiang was puzzled.

Lu Yuru vaguely understood: "He has secrets he doesn’t want me and Ding Xiang to know!"

Originally, Yan Chuan only needed to bring her along, then, no matter what they encountered in the future, it couldn’t be hidden or avoided by Lu Yuru, because in the ’North Mansion stone room’, it was ’not soundproof’ at all. Lu Yuru had experimented, and people inside the ’North Mansion’ could not only enter and exit freely but also see the outside view anytime and hear the outside sounds.

This was her ’North Mansion’!

But now that the ’North Mansion’ had been in Yan Chuan’s possession for half a month, when Lu Yuru entered again, she found that although people could still enter and exit freely inside, whether they could see the outside view and hear the outside sounds depended entirely on Yan Chuan’s whim as the controller.

Just like before.

How Yan Chuan got here, how he encountered the Eight-winged Centipede, all these processes were blocked by Yan Chuan, clearly not wanting her and Ding Xiang to know.

As for why he was now opening up—

"Stay inside!"

"Don’t come out!"

He was worried they would be startled by the noise of fighting outside and rashly jump out into danger; this could be understood as Yan Chuan worrying about their safety or not wanting them to cause trouble.

How to think about it depends entirely on Lu Yuru and Ding Xiang themselves.

But Lu Yuru has a strong subjective initiative. She didn’t think much and opened her "Wisdom Eye" the moment Yan Chuan finished speaking, staring at the Eight-winged Centipede, and scanning for anything suspicious behind it like its old nest.

Clatter!

Rumble!

Yan Chuan fiercely battled the Eight-winged Centipede, making a great commotion. Amid this noise, Lu Yuru reported: "Brother Yan, there’s no exotic treasure in the Eight-winged Centipede’s old nest, but there’s a blue light flickering on its seventeenth segment, possibly a Third-Rank Treasure!"

"Received!"

"You guys rest first!"

Yan Chuan received the information and in the next moment closed the ’North Mansion’s window again, which was a new feature of the ’Fifth Rank·Northern Mansion’, ensuring that Lu Yuru and Ding Xiang couldn’t see outside. Then Yan Chuan called out: "Old Wang!"

Boom!

The Alligator Beast Avatar swayed its head and tail, and another ’Spiritual Shock’ came.

Yan Chuan glared fiercely, holding the White Horn Trumpet and shouted—

"Blast!"

On the basis of detonating six ’Divine Light True Seeds’ first, Yan Chuan at this moment also detonated one ’Nine Yang True Seed’, with the support of the Eighth Realm "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar" and ’Fifth Rank White Horn Trumpet’—

Eight-winged Centipede!

It became paralyzed on the spot!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Chuan quickly closed in with ’Ladder Cloud Jump’, activated the ’Yin Wind Saber’ of the "Holy Fire Order Divine Skill", and viciously slashed open the seventeenth segment of the Eight-winged Centipede, causing a brilliant blue Crystal Bracelet to fall out. Yan Chuan stirred the waves to pick up the Crystal Bracelet, not lingering in battle, not bloodthirsty, and turned away instantly.

"Old Wang!"

"Come in!"

As he left, the ’North Mansion’ retracted Wang Zhengyi’s Alligator Beast Avatar, and then he invoked ’Ladder Cloud Jump’ to spiral upwards in the water like an arrow, breaking through the water surface in moments.

And behind him—

Boom!

An intense surge of energy!

The Eight-winged Centipede, with a hundred feet but still standing, was repeatedly heavily injured and plundered by Yan Chuan. Afterward, this Third-Rank Beast King could no longer contain its immense fury—

Bang bang bang!

The Beast King fought desperately!

But as Yan Chuan lifted into the sky and out of the water using ’Ladder Cloud Jump’, and moved swiftly along the waves with ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’, taking advantage of the lingering power of the ’Divine Light True Seed’ and ’Nine Yang True Seed’, he sped towards the shore, disappeared into the forest.

Leaving behind the Eight-winged Centipede!

Severely injured, fighting desperately, raging madly yet helpless!

...

"Silver Hair Crab, four pieces."

"Golden Python, seven pieces."

"Eight-winged Centipede, twenty-four pieces."

Yan Chuan took out the thirty-five new ’Fire Bud Crystals’, only picking three from them, pushing the rest towards Wang Zhengyi: "I have 211 ’Fire Bud Crystals’, having more is useless to me. These three are not for me, but for Lu Yuru. If it wasn’t for her discovering where the Eight-winged Centipede hid the Fire Bud Crystals, we’d have spent a lot more effort on its twenty-two segment shells. The sooner the better, all thanks to Lu Yuru. It wouldn’t be right not to show some gratitude."

Wang Zhengyi waved his hand: "That’s appropriate."

Wang Zhengyi didn’t stand on ceremony, accepting the remaining 32 ’Fire Bud Crystals’, now holding 193 crystals himself; a little more effort and he could soon gather 211 crystals!

Sixth Rank Physique!

A promising future!

Wang Zhengyi couldn’t help but grin: "Old Yan! When I find more Fire Bud Crystal stashes from other Beast Kings, I’ll need your help again!"

"Just call me!" Yan Chuan readily agreed.

He hoped Wang Zhengyi would achieve greater heights as well and wanted to help him gather 211 Fire Bud Crystals sooner.

Yan Chuan was looking forward.

Recalling Yan Chuan’s explosion just now, Wang Zhengyi inquired: "You really aren’t affected by that explosion?"

"Do I look like I have a problem?" Yan Chuan spread his hands, full of vigor.

"Impressive!" Wang Zhengyi finally felt at ease, then curiously asked: "Exactly how many Fire Bud Crystals have you refined? With this physique, even the Silver Hair Crab and Golden Python couldn’t break your defenses, is it Third Level? Fourth Level?"

After obtaining the Fire Bud Crystals, Wang Zhengyi didn’t use them equally on both his original body and his two Avatars. Equality represented mediocrity; he gave all ’Fire Bud Crystals’ to the ’Alligator Beast Avatar’ for refining. Relying on innate physical advantages, the ’Alligator Beast Avatar’ refined two Fire Bud Crystals a month. Its physique strength was approaching Innate Second Layer, yet compared to Yan Chuan, it was far behind—

"Thirteen pieces."

"Nearly Fifth Layer."

Despite having stayed just a little over half a month in Tan Valley Royal City, Yan Chuan’s physique strength had stepped up another level since early February in Nanxiong City, with even more explosive power and formidable battle prowess!

"???" Wang Zhengyi’s Alligator Beast Avatar opened his wide mouth silently.

Comparing to others!

It’s infuriating!

Better not to ask!

Yan Chuan chuckled, and after splitting the loot, he asked Wang Zhengyi: "Want to continue letting the ’Monkey King Avatar’ follow me?"

"Yes!" Wang Zhengyi nodded: "In terms of survival ability, both the ’Monkey King Avatar’ and my human form are no match for the Water Beast King, which also has the ’Spiritual Shock’ capability of the ’Alligator Beast Avatar’. The ’Alligator Beast Avatar’ can avoid innate Divine Generals on the shore in Nanyue Lake and explore more treasures underwater, maximizing its value."

Wang Zhengyi looked at Yan Chuan: "It’s a pity my ’Monkey King Avatar’ doesn’t have the ’Spiritual Shock’ ability, which can’t help when you face strong enemies."

"’Spiritual Shock’ is less important, a means of retreat is vital." Yan Chuan didn’t place demands on the combat power of the ’Monkey King Avatar’, carrying it mainly to use the ’Soul Channel’ as a retreat. Whether it’s the ’Alligator Beast Avatar’ or the ’Monkey King Avatar’, it doesn’t matter.

...

After parting with Wang Zhengyi, Yan Chuan headed straight for Lishan.

In fact, Yan Chuan didn’t necessarily have to go to Lishan; with Wang Zhengyi’s ’Soul Channel’, he could freely travel back and forth between Tan Valley Royal City, where Wang Zhengyi’s main body was located, or Nanyue Lake, where the Alligator Beast Avatar was. Even if he went further, he could still easily travel between these two places. With the link between Wang Zhengyi’s main body and Avatars, Yan Chuan could always monitor the situation in Tan Valley Royal City, ready to return to take charge or provide support. Although he seemed absent, he was always present.

With the ’Monkey King Avatar’.

With the ’Soul Channel’.

Yan Chuan could go wherever he wanted, without needing to target Lishan.

However, since the road to the Lishan Sect had already been paved, and he had come this far, he must at least give it a try—

...
