50: Chapter 9 A Clash of Spirits, Once Again Trapped
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Yun!" Wang Ni nodded. She was steady and prudent; seeing that they had captured the Halberd-Light Worm and secured their prize, she couldn't help but feel a wave of joy.
The Talismans and other items they had prepared earlier hadn't been used yet. Calculating it this way, as long as they could return safely, this trip would be a huge profit!
They could earn one hundred Spirit Stones for nothing!
This was far more profitable than raising fish.
No wonder everyone liked to take advantage of such opportunities.
If this commission wasn't an internal competition for the Xiao Family, she would have even considered killing them to steal the prize.
"Give it to me!" Zi Ling looked at Chen Xuan and held out her palms.
Chen Xuan couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so he handed over the Magical Artifact.
Inside the Magical Artifact, the pure white Halberd-Light Worm was crawling in the darkness like a maggot.
Zi Ling took a look and then tucked it into her inner lining.
None of them were well-off, and none could bear the cost of a Storage Pouch.
Even Chen Xuan, after purchasing the strength-enhancing [qingling pill], couldn't bear to buy a Storage Pouch.
When poor, Chen Xuan still knew how to be frugal.
However, once these one hundred Spirit Stones arrived, Chen Xuan would still need to buy the general-purpose qingling pill to purge pill toxins.
The four of them quickly put away their Magical Artifacts on the sea and began to steer the spirit boat back.
The outskirts of Long Sea were truly dangerous.
Chen Xuan had divined today, and the Heavenly Book indicated that his fortune was slightly ominous.
The spirit boat fled at high speed. Just as they were about to reach the edge of Long Sea, a flash of green light suddenly rippled across the water!
It was the Azure Sea Little Green Dragon!
Although it was called a Little Green Dragon, it was actually a type of green carp. Legend had it that a True Dragon had once urinated in Long Sea, and this green carp had been tainted by it, gaining some Dragon Qi and taking on characteristics of the Dragon species.
It inherited the flight speed of the Azure Dragon, fast as a streak of light.
Without breaking its escape technique, it was impossible to capture.
"Fast! Fast! Fast!" Wang Ni was almost stuttering.
On the way, they had already discussed that for such benefits in the Xiao Family's internal competition, there were other groups, and even if they captured a top-tier Halberd-Light Worm, they might not necessarily win!
At this moment, they had actually hit the jackpot and encountered an Azure Sea Little Green Dragon.
One had to know that although the Azure Sea Little Green Dragon was far more numerous than the Halberd-Light Worm, it did not have a fixed habitat like the latter.
This little carp roamed everywhere to spawn.
Therefore, it was almost entirely based on luck to capture this extremely fast spirit fish.
Zi Ling, who was controlling the spirit boat, was naturally not stupid and immediately turned the rudder to chase after the Little Green Dragon!
He Jia gripped the Beast-Controlling Ring tightly, transmitting his will to the Danhong Crane.
This time, he had to prove himself and show the true value of the Danhong Crane!
Prove the value of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce!
The spirit boat instantly turned into a streak of light, sticking firmly behind the Little Green Dragon.
The Danhong Crane lived up to its name, overtaking it and reaching the Little Green Dragon again, but it couldn't brake. He Jia did not know how to coordinate with the Spirit Beast through the Beast-Controlling Ring, so once again, it missed!
Chen Xuan checked the speed; it was absolutely impossible for Dudu to catch up to the Azure Sea Little Green Dragon.
The other two women's Spirit Beasts were the same; they were not known for their speed.
"Fellow Daoist He, please lend me the Beast-Controlling Ring. I have a method that can force the Danhong Crane to stop the Azure Sea Little Green Dragon," Chen Xuan said.
He could not let this Opportunity that had come to his doorstep slip away.
He Jia looked at Chen Xuan deeply, thinking to himself:
You country bumpkin, a typical low-level cultivator, have you ever even seen a Beast-Controlling Ring?
You want to control it like those big shots?
Hmph! Anyway, I've already embarrassed myself enough; once you embarrass yourself even more, I won't be the only one looking bad.
He Jia handed over the Beast-Controlling Ring with a fake smile.
All three pairs of eyes focused on Chen Xuan and the Beast-Controlling Ring.
Chen Xuan closed his eyes slightly, his mana erupting from his Dantian and filling the Heaven-Stealing Foundation Dharma Eye and the Beast-Controlling Ring in his hand.
Chen Xuan clearly sensed the presence of the Danhong Crane's Mental Energy.
This He Jia was truly wasting a treasure; he didn't even know how to use such a high-quality Spirit Beast.
Watch closely, this is how you use a Danhong Crane!
Chen Xuan's Mental Energy surged violently into the Beast-Controlling Ring.
The fleeing Danhong Crane was immediately stimulated, carving an S-shaped curve across the sea surface, and amidst the leaping spray, the Little Green Dragon was vaguely visible!
It kept up!
It was simply unbelievable!
Chen Xuan actually knew how to control beasts!?
The three were shocked; first He Jia bought a Spirit Beast, and then Chen Xuan mastered beast-controlling techniques.
These were things that had never been mentioned before!
It was simply unbelievable.
The Butterfly Transformation Flight technique alone was not something an ordinary person could control.
The Danhong Crane felt like it had never been so free in its life; the feeling of being controlled by Chen Xuan was simply wonderful.
It could perfectly unleash every ounce of its power.
"Caw~" The Danhong Crane let out a joyful cry.
Each sound exploded in He Jia's heart like a heavy hammer blow.
No!
It's clearly my Spirit Beast.
He Jia's heart was bleeding.
The Danhong Crane didn't care about him! It continued with a high-difficulty turning maneuver, drawing a large circle in the air, instantly breaking into the water, and closing in on the Little Green Dragon.
Boom!
A roar.
The phantom of the Azure Dragon on the sea surface disappeared.
The Azure Sea Little Green Dragon's escape technique was broken!
Chen Xuan had done it.
The three looked at him with inscrutable expressions.
Zi Ling stopped the spirit boat, and while controlling her Spirit Beast, she comforted herself: "Brother Xiao Ye could definitely do better than him. He must have secretly seen others controlling Spirit Beasts somewhere and learned a trick or two."
Zi Ling quickly convinced herself.
The four Spirit Beasts, including the four people, all lunged at the Azure Sea Little Green Dragon.
The Water-Avoiding Talisman on Chen Xuan's body flickered, and he moved through the water as if walking on flat ground.
To catch the Azure Sea Little Green Dragon, one could only use electric shocks.
Electro-fishing was strictly prohibited in Biling Lake, but Long Sea did not belong to Biling Lake.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Splashes of water exploded on the sea surface.
The Azure Sea Little Green Dragon was completely unharmed, and even defiantly rammed into Zi Ling, knocking her to roll several times in the water, her water-avoidance effect almost falling off.
Damn it!
The three of them missed one after another.
The four Spirit Beasts were also completely helpless against this Little Green Dragon.
Besides its extremely fast escape technique, it also had top-tier agility.
Otherwise, how could it be worthy of being called a Little Green Dragon!
Chen Xuan, of course, also stretched out his hands!
The Little Green Dragon didn't care at all, swatting its tail at Chen Xuan, taking advantage of the force to flee far away!
But the next moment, its dragon body went numb, and it was caught on the spot by a pair of large hands.
Chen Xuan lunged out of the water, holding up the Little Green Dragon and saying, "I have fulfilled the mission!"
Wang Ni was truly, severely shocked by Chen Xuan.
She had only one thought in her mind:
Is this right?
Where did the Yun Qi from before, who was fawning, inferior, timid, and timid in everything he did, go?
No matter who you are, don't ever leave him.
Zi Ling looked at him, a flash of surprise passing through her eyes, and said arrogantly: "Give it here!"
Chen Xuan handed it over casually.
As for He Jia, he was completely broken.
He was not a bootlicker like Chen Xuan; he prided himself on being in the upper-middle tier among the fishing farmers, capable of easily crushing low-level cultivators like Chen Xuan.
But today, he had lost face in a big way.
He immediately broke down and spoke: "How do you know Palm Lightning? I saw you use it to shock the fish!"
Chen Xuan frowned and looked at him, his expression as if to say: Are you sick?
The two women also looked at him with the same expression.
The emotions deep in He Jia's heart exploded: "Hmph! What's so great about that? You're just a low-level cultivator; what right do you have to master secret techniques like Palm Lightning?"
"You have no father or mother; what right do you have?"
Seeing the increasingly cold and disgusted gazes of the others, He Jia completely lost it and roared:
"You're just a clown! Do you know that the letters Zi Ling gives us are long paragraphs of text, while you only write one sentence each time, and you even secretly came to show off to me? You're truly a clown!"
When Chen Xuan was a bootlicker, he watched him like a joke.
But Chen Xuan kept getting better! He even understood Spirit Beasts better than a high-level cultivator like him; it was simply a great humiliation.
If he didn't say these words today, his Dao Heart would not be clear!
After saying this, He Jia felt he had gained the upper hand, feeling vaguely smug.
So satisfying!
But looking up, he saw Chen Xuan's pair of cold eyes:
"Are you done?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a cold wind in winter, instantly making the three of them feel a chill.
Wisps of coldness shot straight from the soles of He Jia's feet to his crown!
This feeling!
He would really die!
But!
How could this be!
He Jia looked at Chen Xuan with a face full of terror, his whole body trembling.
The latter's eyes were like ice, looking down at him.
