Chapter 4: The Ray in the Cloud, Qian Chen's Means
The sea area 200 miles east of the Zhoushan Islands is a fishing ground where sirens appear. The aquariums under the Dragon Palace will appear here and grazing sea beasts.
Human practitioners and even the East China Sea rangers will come here to hunt monsters!
Today, strong winds were floating on the sea, mixed with heavy rains, and huge waves were nearly half a foot high.
At this time, a wave came, and a huge Juyun ray soared into the sky from under the water, beating its wide pectoral fins, and the lightning was wrapped around it. The flat body and the sea surface caused dense and fine lightning to arouse, and the upward air flow on the sea surface allowed it to sway up with the help of the wind...
At this time, a fisherman wearing sea beast fur held a harpoon and rushed down from mid-air. He made of fine steel. The handle was wrapped with a steel fork with purple-electric beaver fur that could isolate lightning and sank deeply into the back of Juyunray.
The huge ray whined and violent lightning burst out from his body.
The fisherman took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and twisted it in his chest. The talisman paper burned into a ball of fire, giving him a layer of golden light.
But in the sea below, many people were overturned by lightning!
Many "water ghosts" under the sea exposed their upper bodies. They were wrapped in black leather jackets and water linings, holding harpoons connected to ropes, and struggled to get closer to the ray within thirty steps, and then threw out harpoons!
Several harpoons penetrated the pectoral fins of the ray, and everyone shouted horns and pulled the ray under the sea.
The fisherman in the first fork roared and jumped to the ray, inserted the harpoon from the crack in its chest and penetrated its heart.
The ray turned over and floated weakly on the sea.
The fisherman in charge hurriedly tied its tail and threw the rope upwards. A fish falcon grabbed the rope and took it to a large boat made of black iron wood not far away.
The fishermen below were roaring and roaring, climbed onto the boat in the wind and waves, shouting horns and pulled Juyunray onto the boat. Someone excitedly said to the fisherman in the lead: "Boss! It's not worth it for us to chase this Juyunray for three months, and we have waited until today's heavy rain! Master He Xiaoxiao was indeed not wrong. This beast will sink when he is frightened on weekdays, and will only rush up when the wind and rain are mixed!"
"Juyunray, Juyunray! The reason why our ancestors gave this name is because this kind of ray can ride the wind and reproduce during the wind and rain on the sea, and then lay the fish eggs in dark clouds, and sprinkle half of the sea with the storm!"
The fisherman, known as the "Taoer", has thick eyebrows and deep eyes. Although his face was roughly eroded by the sea breeze and accompanied by deep wrinkles, he could tell that he was not old.
He took the handkerchief handed by someone else, wiped his face, and turned around and said, "Is anyone injured this time?"
The fisherman who was holding the scorched marks by the rays next to him did not say anything, but looked at an old fisherman. The old fisherman took off the water and exposed his white-haired head, and whispered: "Head! Shi Sanyazi's rubber coat is torn!"
The fisherman went up to see a pale body soaked in water was carried to the deck by everyone.
He opened the corpse and saw that the water on his back had indeed cracked a big hole.
These water sewn from sea beast fur is covered with lightning protection glue produced in the South China Sea. Fishermen also carry bluefish stones on their necks that can provide a brief breath in their mouths, including those they bought from the sea market, made of underwater cold iron ore, steel forks that can pierce monster fur, and even a few pieces of emergency talisman paper on their bodies. These are essential things for fishermen to hunt monsters in the East China Sea.
The fishing head sighed helplessly: "This is the life of our Shi family!"
"Boss, now we can hunt rays! Sooner or later, we can provide for a real immortal master! At that time, life in the Shi family will be better!" A young fisherman said angrily.
"Immortal Master..."
Shi Yutou looked at the far away from the sea and sighed helplessly, his voice filled with something that others didn't understand.
"Go back to the city! If this ray is sold, how many years can we live!" Shi Yutou turned around and returned to the bow of the boat and began to drive the rudder towards the Zhoushan Islands.
He Qilang stepped on the flying fish wings, passed through the vast water curtain, and came to a slightly larger island.
There are many fishing boats moored here. Although the place is wide, it has weak spiritual energy. Shi Yutou is waiting for him on his own boat. Seeing He Qilang's figure, Shi Yutou respectfully said, "Shixian Master!"
"How about it? What about the news and secret medicine I gave you?" He Qilang glanced at the blood on the boat and said coldly.
Shi Yutou said in a deep voice: "If you go back to the Immortal Master, you have already hunted a Juyun ray today! This ray will indeed fly upwards when it rainstorms. The Immortal Master's secret medicine is indeed easy to use and can lure the ray to float to the upper sea surface!"
"Shiheilong, as agreed, I will give you 50% of your harvest to me. But today you have a chance and you don't need to give you tribute from now on!" Although He Qilang is only fourteen or five years old, his words are already very oppressive.
Shi Heilong hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Heilong dares not! Without the blessing of the immortal master, my Shi family is just a fish on someone else's desk!"
"This ray is more precious than you think. I have been staring at this fish for the past few months to make sure that a kind of spiritual object has been born in its belly. Ben Wai Er was waiting to hunt this fish, so I secretly cut off this object..."
He Qilang stared at the ray's corpse and said calmly: "But your luck is here! Shiheilong, haven't you always wanted to be an immortal cultivator?"
Shiheilong suppressed the excitement and fear in his heart, and he wondered what this little immortal master He wanted.
He Qilang was not prepared to listen to his answer, but just said to himself: "Recently, an immortal master from Middle Earth came to the archipelago, claiming to have a means of spiritual roots! The earth spirit is a great man. Your Shi family is a gangster, living by the sea. Without a stable earth energy, the cultivation qualifications of future generations must be inferior!"
"You Shi Heilong practice martial arts and have fought for more than ten years. You have monsters and blood nourished qi and blood. You are still wandering at the Qi Practice Gate. Without spiritual roots, there is no possibility that anyone in your Shi family can enter the Tao!"
He Qilang raised his head and looked at Shi Heilong and whispered: "So, this may be the only chance for your Shi family. The premise is that I am willing to give mercy and lend the spiritual objects in the belly of the ray to you, so that you can plant spiritual roots!"
Shi Heilong knelt down with a thud and kowtowed, "If Master He is kind, my Shi family will be willing to be a cow and a horse for the Master for generations!"
"Hmph!" He Qilang shook his sleeves and stared at the ray hanging not far away. He did not deceive Shi Heilong because the spiritual objects in the ray's belly were raised little by little. However, in order to avoid Feng Xianzi's eyes and ears, he used Shi Heilong and the others to find a source for this spiritual object.
But he himself knew that although he pretended to be a genius on the surface, his qualifications were actually very inferior.
If you don’t have spiritual roots, you will have a very slim hope in this life - even if you have the help of "that thing"!
Instead of going to the spiritual objects on the Stone Heilong side, it is better to take the opportunity to test the methods of the spiritual root master from Middle Earth.
After all, even if he hides his cultivation, he is still much worse than the amazing swordsmanship that he has deployed on the sea with one sword! He is confident that he can balance the master Feng Xian, but he may not be able to deal with that person.
And the secrets on me are too heavy!
The big black iron-wood ship set sail again and headed towards Qian Chen's cave. He Qilang stood on the deck until he saw the wind and rain in front of him, a reef appeared vaguely. Even on the reef, a figure throwing a rod in the wind and rain could be vaguely seen.
He Qilang saw the figure futilely put away the fishing rod, picked off the seaweed coral hanging from the fishing line, and threw the rod again with difficulty!
"I spent so much effort just to prepare for this unlucky guy? Is it a bit of a big deal?"
He Qilang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This person's cultivation is not bad, his swordsmanship is amazing, but his behavior is a bit unreliable!
I don’t know if it is a blessing or a disaster to entrust my spiritual roots to such a person?
Fortunately, I can use Shiheilong to test it first!
Qian Chen swayed in the wind and rain, steadily holding the fishing rod in his hand, muttering the words: "Fishing in the wind, fishing in the waves, fishing in the fresh fishing after the thunderstorm! The red dragon bunker is not yet caught, it must be that there is a problem with the fasting pill I refined! No, the fisherman will never be an air force, take my Biling Five Poison Pill!"
Just as the boy Jin and Yin were about to obey the instructions, he saw someone flying towards the reef in the distance.
"Senior!" He Qilang shouted in the wind and rain: "Senior, I heard from the day before yesterday that someone would come with a boat today. Please plant spiritual roots!"
Qian Chenmao put away the fishing rod as if nothing had happened and said to He Qilang: "Take him up!"
The Jinyin Boy lowered Feiyun Dou and brought He Qilang and Shiheilong into the cave hall. Shiheilong looked at the two little monsters who had just reached his knees, and watched the Silver Boy with great strength and lifted the huge ray.
"Can you pay for this?"
Qian Chen glanced at the ray and said, "The spiritual objects in the belly can indeed be used as spiritual roots, but the quality is too low! I originally didn't do such a small business, but after all, I was the first to come to me, so I'll just open a ticket!"
The gold and silver boy brought out a golden basin. This was a gold utensil that Qian Chen collected from the Zuozangku of the Tang Dynasty. It was a thing that could only be used as the first grade or above. It was a gold and jade utensil that could only be used in the first grade!
The sun is gathered every day, and a little light sun dew gathers in the golden basin.
Now there is a pot of spiritual springs. As the water sways, the golden sunflower is like broken gold, rising above the water surface.
When He Qilang saw the gold and silver objects displayed around him, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was filled with storms.
Qian Chen noticed the uneasy inside him, frowned slightly, and had some guesses: "It seems that I am right. The pure spiritual energy in this person's flesh and blood is indeed the essence of the sun and the moon. It is the breath that only after taking the Sun Eagle Food often, the Emperor's Moon Flowing Slurry!"
Using a short knife to dig open the belly of the ray, Qian Chen took out a ball of glossy glittering glare from it.
"This kind of spiritual creature is rare! This is the bone of a deep-sea cuttlefish. After being swallowed into the belly, the ray gradually softened. When it was refined by the ray's thunder and lightning, because the ray took some rare spiritual medicine, the medicinal properties were absorbed by the cuttlefish bones, and thus the prototype of the inner alchemy was refined!"
"If this fish is not hunted by you, over time, you can gradually swallow this thing and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. It may not necessarily be able to condense into a demon pill after a hundred years!"
"This can be refined into water spiritual roots, mixed with a little thunder attribute."
"Mid-grade spiritual roots, about eight cents of water, two cents of thunder... This size can be refined into three parts. Two of them are the price I took!" Qian Chen looked up and asked Shi Heilong, "What do you think?"

"Everything is as the immortal master said!" Shi Heilong said with excitement on his face and be timid.
However, He Qilang next to him clenched his fists secretly: "Mid-grade water spirit roots, there are two more thunder spirit roots mixed!"
When water and thunder are born, the thunder spirit is a rare strange spiritual root. Those who have thunder spirit roots will have several times more effective practices!
The environment faced by overseas practitioners is biased towards water spiritual energy. In other words, water spiritual roots are the most convenient among the five elements spiritual roots, and the thunder spiritual roots are famously powerful. The thunder magic they practice is far more lethal than their peers! Although the qualification of the middle-grade spiritual roots is not too high, they are numerous than He Qilang's current qualifications.
He even had the urge to temporarily repent and plant this spiritual root on himself!
But He Qilang still held back!
For this inferior qualification, he endured countless times, so why bother with this moment?
"If this person's methods are indeed extraordinary, I have my own way to plant a better spiritual root!" He Qilang said excitedly.
Seeing Shi Heilong agreeing decisively, Qian Chen took action to do it.
He took out the short knife, burned it with real fire, and suddenly inserted it into Shiguilong's chest. Before the two of them could react, they cut off a piece of his rib cartilage and took it out.
The translucent cartilage with bloodshot was repaired to the size of a knuckle under Qian Chen's knife.
Then, the residual plasma and blood from the cartilage sac of the rays were combined with various spiritual medicines, and even the seaweed caught today was used. Finally, these things were mixed into the spiritual spring containing sun dew in the golden basin, and were refined into a light green spiritual liquid by Qian Chen, spreading it with bloodshot lines, and then the cartilage was placed into the spiritual liquid.
Immediately afterwards, Qian Chen intercepted one-third of the gum-like spirit object and tapped it into the cartilage.
As the spirit objects gradually merged with the cartilage, the spiritual liquid and mixed blood of the rays, and the plasma were slowly absorbed by the cartilage...
"This time, I'm using the bone change method!"
"As long as you constantly water the immortal bones with your own true energy, you can gradually produce spiritual roots, and at the same time, you can inherit a natural spell from the bloodline of this thunder ray."
Qian Chen carefully observed the cartilage for a moment, shook his head and said, "It should be a wind-wailing technique! It's useless..."
Ishiheilong was next to him and said excitedly: "It's useful, useful! It's even more useful to me, the fisherman!"
"The spiritual roots should be completely generated within one year. If you are willing to spend more money and take some treasures of heaven and earth, you can also speed up the generation of spiritual roots! This cartilage seed is in your body. After the spiritual roots are generated, you probably don't need to worry about it, but before generation, if this immortal bone is broken, your spiritual roots will be incomplete. Remember to protect it!"
Qian Chen took out the piece of cartilage from the basin.
At this time, Shiheilong could not recognize that this was the bone taken out of his body. Thunder lightning flashed in the translucent cartilage, and fine bloodshots spread all over it.
He could not see more, only He Qilang next to him could sense the active inspiration and vitality.
Qian Chen asked Shi Heilong to lean down and plant the cartilage into his first spine. Shi Heilong felt a numbness spread from the bones. When the true qi ran there, there was a trace of itch, and the true qi would become slightly purer.
Shi Heilong jumped up from the stone bed and asked Qian Chen for a big gift.
"It's just a little effort! If someone can find the top-grade spiritual plant, I should take action personally and plant the best spiritual roots for it..."
Qian Chen put the remaining ray spirit glue into the jade bottle and put it in. He Qilang stepped forward and praised: "Senior is such a wonderful skill. He will surely become famous in Zhoushan in the future!"
Qian Chen looked at him and said, "If you want me to take action to plant spiritual roots for you, remember to prepare materials. I will not take action in the future!"
He Qilang was a little nervous and said goodbye with Shi Heilong!
