Chapter 140 Refining the Demon Pill
After defeating the two big monsters, the sea became calm again.
When the captain saw that the weather conditions were right for sailing, he immediately decided to return.
Su Chen had nothing to do, so he started to sort out the things he had collected from the octopus monster's cave.
There are all kinds of natural treasures, many of which are underwater spiritual plants that Su Chen has only seen in his ancient inherited memories, and they are filled with rich spiritual energy.
These spiritual plants can be refined into elixirs, which, in addition to the types that can cure diseases and save lives, can also be made into elixirs that are beneficial to spiritual cultivation according to recipes.
It is not the kind that directly improves cultivation, but is similar to the meridian cleansing and marrow strengthening elixir, which can develop the meridians of the cultivator and temper the body to make it easier for them to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation.
Su Chen set up a barrier in the room and left the black snake behind to prevent anyone from coming in rashly and finding him not there.
"Master, don't worry. I have a very keen sense of smell!"
Moshe raised his head proudly, "If anyone gets close, I will tell you the first time!"
Su Chen flashed into the personal space.
Put those spiritual plants and natural treasures in order.
In addition, Su Chen's list of gold, silver and jewelry included several more boxes of Dongzhu, corals and other underwater treasures that were larger than quail eggs.
The previous jewellery had not been sold yet, and several more boxes had been added. If he got more, Su Chen would have to build a large warehouse to store them all.
After taking out the octopus demon's magic pill, Su Chen was a little hesitant.
Just as he was debating whether to extract and refine the spiritual power inside, the voice of the black snake sounded in his consciousness.
"Master, someone is coming!"
"He's knocking!"
Su Chen flashed out of the space.
It was the waiter who came to deliver dinner.
Not many people came to the restaurant for dinner.
No one wanted to come out. They were terrified when they thought that there were not only two corpses but also two ghosts on the boat.
The captain simply arranged to deliver meals to those who did not come to the restaurant.
Su Chen stepped aside and let the waiter push the food cart in.
After the delicious food was placed on the table, the waiter nodded slightly and left the room.
Su Chen thanked him.
Just as he was about to close the door, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came from the corridor. It was Fang Teng.
Fang Teng came to Su Chen with food in his hand, "Brother Chen, I heard from the captain that if everything goes well, we should be able to dock tomorrow."
Su Chen was noncommittal.
"Brother Chen, what's the matter?"
Fang Teng sat down and looked at the delicious food in front of him without much appetite.
"I never thought that learning together would turn out like this."
He had good intentions in lobbying Su Chen to come, but who knew...
The more Fang Teng thought about it, the more depressed he became.
"Don't think too much, just eat quickly."
"I don't blame you."
Su Chen simply comforted Fang Teng with a few words.
Fang Teng immediately perked up when he heard this, "I knew Brother Chen was the best to me!"
"Brother, those two ghosts won't come out to eat people in the middle of the night, right?"
Su Chen looked at Fang Teng with a half-smile, "If you want to see them, I'll let them find you later."
Fang Teng immediately shook his head like a rattle, almost jumping up in fear, "No! No need, brother, you don't have to love me too much."
Su Chen snorted and laughed.
After all this commotion, Fang Teng no longer felt like blaming himself.
While eating, Fang Teng asked Su Chen if he had found out who was behind Zhou Yue's decision.
"Brother Chen, how about I call my dad and ask him to check for you?"
"He has some connections, and it's convenient to check now that he's in the country."
Su Chen waved his hand, indicating that Fang Teng didn't need to worry about this.
Whether it was the original body or him, there were not many people they offended.
It’s nothing more than the Su family or Chen Beixuan and Tang Lili.
Knowing his recent whereabouts so clearly...the scope has been narrowed down a bit.
A hint of coldness flashed in Su Chen's eyes.
If it were the original body, he might have been framed.
These people are endless!
More than an hour later, the waiter came to collect the plates.
Fang Teng originally wanted to play games with Su Chen.
When he was in school, Su Chen was often dragged by him to go to the Internet cafe.
Fang Teng was also the only classmate in his original school days who was willing to "waste time" with him.
"Go to bed early at night, and don't be curious and go out to see what's going on if you hear any noise."
Su Chen reminded Fang Teng lightly.
Fang Teng didn’t know what was going on in his mind. He nodded seriously and went back to his room quickly.
Su Chen took out the demon pill that was placed in the space.
He opened the window, leaped a few times, and arrived at a small island with only a pointed tip exposed thousands of meters away.
He sat cross-legged and crushed the demon pill in his hand.
The originally pitch-black sea surface suddenly became brightly lit.
Su Chen quickly used his spiritual power to gather the demonic power in the demon pill.
A ball of powerful inky black gas gathered in Su Chen's palm.
Su Chen closed his eyes, injected his cultivation into the demonic power in his palm, and began to patiently peel off the pure spiritual power from it.
This process is extremely energy-consuming. If one is not careful and a trace of demonic power is left behind and absorbed by others, it is very easy to go astray.
In serious cases, it may even ruin one's cultivation.
Su Chen was not in a hurry.
There is some time difference between the high seas and China.
Moreover, he observed through Feng Shui that there would be a rainstorm at sea in the second half of the night, and the tanker would not be able to return so quickly.
Su Chen patiently withdrew his spiritual power bit by bit. After an unknown amount of time, the sky began to turn pale, and the last bit of spiritual power was successfully withdrawn.
Su Chen used the little remaining cultivation he had to eliminate the demonic energy and began to absorb spiritual energy.
The spiritual power flowed into Su Chen's seven meridians and eight vessels along with Su Chen's own cultivation. After a while, it all gathered in Su Chen's heart.
Su Chen felt the surging spiritual power in his body and was overjoyed.
A lot of his cultivation had been consumed in solving the problem on the oil tanker before, and then he stripped away the spiritual power of the demon pill, which directly consumed the remaining four points of his cultivation.
However, cultivation is something that will grow faster the more you use it.
After Su Chen understood the rules, he used his skills without any reluctance.
Now his cultivation has reached the critical point. As long as he returns to the dragon vein and practices for a period of time, he will be able to advance again!
Su Chen suppressed the joy in his heart, even though it was already dawn.
However, due to the heavy rain in the second half of the night, the entire sea surface was foggy and the visibility was limited.
Su Chen quickly returned to the room under the cover of fog.
He hasn't retracted his spiritual consciousness yet.
As soon as he approached the tanker, Su Chen noticed that the people on the ship were in a strange mood. It was just daybreak, so why were most people awake?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on Su Chen's door and Fang Teng's voice rang out.
"Brother Chen!"
"Are you awake?"
"Help me, help me, if you don't come out you will never see me again!"
Fang Teng's ghostly howlings were heard outside the door.
Su Chen opened the door with a twitching mouth, and Fang Teng's voice stopped abruptly.
Seeing Su Chen in his pajamas, Fang Teng smiled awkwardly and squeezed into the room under Su Chen's gaze.
"Brother Chen, are you sure those two ghosts, especially Wu Fei, didn't escape?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and signaled Fang Teng with his eyes to stop talking nonsense and tell him the reason directly.
"Brother Chen, didn't you hear anything last night?" Fang Teng asked with big dark circles under his eyes.
"Zhou Yue has been howling since it started raining outside last night. His cries were particularly miserable."
It’s just like the torture of ancient prisoners in movies and TV dramas.
