Chapter 96: Huge Profit! Kill the Poison Shadow Enchantress
……

to be frank.

The situation outside is so chaotic now, and Chen Xuanmo is also afraid that when the Blood Soul Cult attacks again, they will directly put Chen on the kill list.

The current Cangyi Chen Clan looks prosperous, having withstood many attacks, but its foundation is still very weak and it cannot withstand any more attacks. If there is one more Blood Deacon from the Blood Soul Cult, the current Chen Clan will not be able to withstand it.

Therefore, Chen Xuanmo was extremely eager for the Five Elements Formation that could stop the Jindan cultivators.

At the same time, he also thought that if he could dig out some clues about the Blood Soul Cult and report them to the sect, not only would he be able to achieve great success directly, but he could also indirectly avenge his master and even weaken the Blood Soul Cult. It would be like killing three birds with one stone.

"Shhhhh!"

Chen Xuanmo wrote down his ideas one by one on the desk.

The two sons looked at each other in bewilderment, their eyes revealing solemnity. Their father's suggestion was very good, but it was also somewhat dangerous and needed to be carefully considered and arranged.

Then, there was a series of discussions.

In the end, the two men and the heroic spirit unanimously decided to start with the Poison Shadow Enchantress.

Even though Poison Shadow Enchantress is ranked ninth on the blacklist, her actual cultivation is only at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. What makes her so powerful is that she has a mutated spiritual root of the fourth spiritual root level - [Poison Spiritual Root]. Her poison skills are extraordinary, and from the word "Shadow" in her nickname, we can see that she is extremely good at hiding.

But if you ask about her frontal combat ability, it's actually just average. After all, most of her poison-type skills tend to be assassinations and sneak attacks. In a head-on combat, how can she defeat a gold-type cultivator like Chen Ningtai who has unparalleled offensive power?
The difficulty in dealing with such people lies in how to strike the right balance between light and darkness.

This was difficult for others, but not too difficult for Chen Xuanmo. Last time, they had successfully intercepted the Blood Hand Demon Slayer by using the purple mark to perform the "divination formula" to guide the way.

This time, you can use more purple marks to find the direction where the Poison Shadow Enchantress is hiding, and then search secretly as a wandering heroic spirit to find her exact location.

Now his heroic spirit can travel fifteen miles away from the sword!
After discussing the matter of Poison Shadow Enchantress, let’s put it aside for now.

Chen Ningzhuo started talking about Cui's blocking of raw materials again.

Now the Cui family has stockpiled a large amount of nephrite and fire crystals, and the nephrite raw materials previously stockpiled by the Chen family have almost been sold out. Even the sect’s nephrite inventory has long been bought up by the wealthy and powerful Cui family.

If we want to produce the next thing, we have to talk to Cui.

Chen Xuanmo wrote: "How is the information about the nephrite mine that I asked Lao Si to collect last time?"

Chen Ningzhuo understood and immediately took out a map and unfolded it in the study.

This is a map of the mountain and river directions of the Great Wu Kingdom, with some special locations marked with red dots.

"Father, I have used the sect's intelligence to sort out the locations of the 17 existing nephrite mines and the 20 abandoned nephrite mines in the Great Wu Kingdom."

"From the distribution of nephrite mines, there is a pattern to be found. Most of them are located on the branches of the Hengduan Mountains, and two of them are even near the main mountain range!"

In fact, the Cangyi Mountains where the Chen family is located is also a branch of the Hengduan Mountains, but most of the nephrite mines are buried deep, and there is a high possibility that they are even in the belly of the mountains. Therefore, most of the nephrite mines are discovered by people in very accidental circumstances, and it is extremely difficult to actively search for them.

Chen Ningzhuo added: "I marked the direction of the nephrite mines. I circled several places where nephrite mines may appear, such as the Cangyi Mountains near us and the islands at the mouth of the Hengduan Mountains."

"Very good, the areas near these families are relatively safe. Let Jing Yun take the spirit boat, bring the foundation-building puppet and a golden mark to explore one by one, maybe there will be miraculous effects." Chen Xuanmo ordered, and added, "Don't let him bring his wife, I'm afraid he will explode the golden mark somewhere else."

In the family, Chen Jingyun's natural luck should be the best, and when combined with the [Mark of Luck], it often produces miraculous effects.

Nephrite mines are not rare, they are just difficult to explore.

There might be nephrite mines deep inside the Qingyu Cliff, but which ordinary family would have the time to dig deep into the cliff?
This is one of Chen Xuanmo’s response strategies. If he could find a nephrite mine by himself and mine it secretly, it would be enough to cause a "vital attack" to the Cui family, and then he could sit down and talk.

There is nothing wrong with the business methods of the Hedong Cui family, and they are very effective in dealing with other foundation-building families. However, they misjudged the Chen family in one aspect, that is, the Chen family has [top-notch exploration technology] and the big cheat Chen Xuanmo!

After some discussion, the plan was finalized.

This time, Chen Xuanmo will invest more than one hundred strands of purple energy into the nephrite mine and the wanted criminal, and store the remaining nearly two hundred strands for emergency use.

****
Hedong County, the Northern Six Guards, and the Lishui Guard.

Compared with the Southern Five Guards area of ​​Hedong County where the Chen family lived, the Northern Six Guards were developed earlier and were relatively prosperous and lively.

And in this Northern Six Guards area, there are actually five immortal cultivation families in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The Lishui Li family is one of the ordinary foundation-building families. Their overall strength is almost the same as that of the Nanyue Zhao family. Now that a family head in the foundation-building stage has died, the days ahead will probably be difficult.

On the bluestone square in front of the Li family’s main residence.

A small spirit boat slowly descended, and Chen Ningtai, dressed in a brocade robe and with a dignified demeanor, gracefully stepped down from the spirit boat.

The new head of the Lishui Li family had already been waiting in the square with a group of elders and core members of the clan. When they saw him coming down, they immediately came over to greet him with a very respectful attitude.

Compared to Chen Ningtai, the new head of the Li family seemed too young. He was only a young man in his forties with four spiritual roots. He still had at least twenty years away from building his foundation. When facing Chen Ningtai, he was especially humble and respectful.

No wonder.

Today, the Chen family is well-known in Hedong County, and Chen Ningtai is known as the best master of the Five Southern Guards. His reputation is very loud. Naturally, his visit made the Li family of Lishui feel very nervous, and they had countless speculations in their hearts.

However, Chen Ningtai was not the kind of person who used his power to bully others. He treated the new head of the Li family with great kindness and courtesy.

After some tea and chat, he also inquired about the details of Poison Shadow Fairy's crime, and whether there were any abnormal conditions before the incident of the previous head of the family.

Although the Li family did not want to talk about this matter from the bottom of their hearts, they did not dare to offend Chen Ningtai, so they repeated to Chen Ningtai the information they had told Cui before.

As expected, the previous head of the family had been acting strange before the incident. He had been a little absent-minded, and large sums of money were often missing. In the end, when the incident happened, he actually took many of the family's spirit stones and valuable resources with him.

This is the Poison Shadow Enchantress' usual method of committing crimes.

It is said that when she was young, she was born in Wanhua Palace of one of the three major sects and had a promising future. However, when she was in the Qi Refining Stage, she was emotionally deceived by an old man from a Foundation Building Family. That "old man" was dignified, elegant, and very good at sweet talk, which made her fall in love with him and determined to marry him.

However, the old man's wife's family was a Jindan upper family with very powerful influence. After his wife found out, she went straight to Wanhua Palace to make a scene.

The Poison Shadow Enchantress was notorious and felt ashamed to stay in the Wanhua Palace any longer. She wanted to betray the sect and elope with the old man to another country. The result was naturally self-evident. He was stood up by the old man and even made a move to cut ties with him, claiming that it was the Poison Shadow Enchantress who seduced him.

Since then, Poison Shadow Demon Queen was naturally wanted by the Wanhua Palace, but she was very capable and managed to evade the wanted list and successfully escape to another country overseas.

However, more than 20 years later, she had infiltrated back into the Great Wu Kingdom. At this time, she had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and her poison skills were extraordinary.

Then, a famous vicious case occurred.

All the members of the old man's family were poisoned to death, and the old man's whole body was rotten due to the poison, and his heart was cut open.

This case once shocked the entire Wu Kingdom, and Poison Shadow Enchantress was listed in the top 20 of the blacklist!
Then, the Poison Shadow Enchantress began her sinful life.

She likes to pick those family heads who are successful in their careers, and they must be good-looking, dignified, and full of righteousness!
The Poison Shadow Enchantress will try every means to seduce him, make him addicted to her beauty trap, empty his family assets bit by bit, and then invite him to elope. At this time, whether he refuses or agrees, he will be poisoned to death by her. Before he dies, she will take out his heart to see whether it is black or white.

This case sounds outrageous.

But in fact, even though Poison Shadow Enchantress has been put on the blacklist, people still keep falling into her trap.

Those heads of the foundation-building families were usually very respectable people, but when they met the Poison Shadow Demon Girl, they were like being possessed by ghosts, and died in an extremely ugly way in the end.

Their families were also disgraced as a result.

If these things had not actually happened, I'm afraid no one would believe it if I told them.

After several cases, Poison Shadow Enchantress rose to the top ten of the blacklist!
And she also disappeared. Some people said that she left the Wu Kingdom, while others said that she was just lurking in the dark, looking for her next target. There are many different opinions.

It was not until the accident of the former head of the Li family in Lishui that the matter was concluded, but the price was really too tragic for the Li family.

After obtaining the information, Chen Ningtai left the Li family of Lishui.

The small spirit boat rushed into the sky and hovered in the air.

Inside the spirit boat, Chen Ningtai took out the Dark Gold Spirit Sword, adjusted his mind, and constantly strengthened the idea of ​​finding the whereabouts of the Poison Shadow Enchantress in his mind, letting the idea completely fill his entire mind, and then he swung the Dark Gold Spirit Sword in mid-air.

at the same time.

The purple mark on his forehead exploded, turned into star-like energy and disappeared.

This is the truth behind Chen Xuanmo's [Ancestral Divination Arithmetic]. As Chen Xuanmo used the purple mark, the golden marks became more and more, and he gradually figured out some rules.

E.g.

The last time Chen Ningtai wanted to stop the Blood Hand Demon Slaughterer, the purple mark gave the direction. Qianqian's mind was full of thoughts about the weapon refining technique, and after getting the mark, the effect naturally developed in that direction.

There were also Chen Xinyuan and Yang Yuling, who were both in desperate situations trying to escape at that time, and the mark helped them escape. The latter, with the help of the golden mark, not only escaped with his life, but also had a wonderful encounter.

Another thing is that when Chen Daoling broke through the foundation, the two consecutive golden marks stimulated his breakthrough auxiliary enlightenment! Because at that time, Chen Daoling was building the foundation, and his mind must be full of the success of the foundation.

Another thing is that Chen Jingyun longed for a mid-grade magical weapon, and by chance he actually got a top-grade magical weapon.

so.

Whether it was Chen Ningtai's search for the Poison Shadow Enchantress this time, or Chen Jingyun's search for the nephrite mine, they were all further attempts by Chen Xuanmo to make their minds full of needs before triggering the mark.

Of course, the requirement is that the information is as rich as possible, and the more details the better, which may make it easier to trigger the mark effect.

at this time.

Chen Ningtai's [Dark Gold Spirit Sword] slowly stopped and pointed in a direction.

His eyes moved slightly, and he immediately drove the small spirit boat in that direction.

After flying thousands of miles.

He used the Purple Qi Divination again, and this time the Dark Gold Spirit Sword pointed in the opposite direction.

Good guy.

Chen Ningtai exclaimed, "Wow! This Poison Shadow Enchantress is really extremely daring. After the Li family of Lishui committed a crime, she was so daring that she still stayed within a thousand miles!

For a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, what difference does a mere thousand miles away make between being right at hand?

He checked the map.

It was discovered that within this straight line, there was a large secular city, which was the Lishui Weicheng under the rule of the Lishui Li family!
This Poison Shadow Enchantress is extremely confident in herself and is playing tricks in the dark.

This time, Chen Ningtai did not drive the spirit boat. Instead, he asked everyone in the spirit boat to get off. Among them were Su Yuanbai and Chen Ningzhuo, two foundation-building cultivators. The former was already in the high stage of the Condensation Realm, while Chen Ningzhuo was currently in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, but it would not take a few years for him to reach the high stage.

As for Chen Daoling, he stayed behind with his family.

The group of three went to Lishuiwei in secret. Chen Ningtai deliberately performed the third ancestor divination arithmetic dozens of miles west of Lishuiwei, avoiding the straight line indicated by the previous divination.

As a result, the direction that the Dark Gold Spirit Sword pointed was exactly the direction of Lishuiwei.

Combining these three points, Chen Ningtai completely determined the location of the Poison Shadow Enchantress, which was within the Lishui City.

Subsequently.

Chen Ningtai and the other two changed their appearance and entered the Lishuiwei City.

According to their original plan, they should have been able to search for the Poison Shadow Enchantress without damaging the purple aura through the 15-mile activity range of their father's heroic spirit, but the population of Lishui Wei City was too large.

Moreover, the Poison Shadow Enchantress is extremely good at hiding her traces. It would be extremely difficult for Chen Xuanmo, a single hero, to search for her.

But the purple mark that only consumes a wisp of purple energy can only point out a general direction. If you want to point it to someone specifically, forget it.

The most important thing is, if we fight with the Poison Shadow Fairy in this Acropolis, many innocent people will be implicated.

Chen is not a villain like the Blood Soul Cult, and he doesn't want to be wanted by the sect.

I had no choice.

Chen Ningtai had no choice but to leave the city again. He then dressed up elegantly and walked into the city in a dignified manner. He summoned the defender of the Acropolis and pretended to instruct him on some things, preparing to seduce him.

Chen Ningtai used all his acting skills that he had honed over the years and acted diligently for a long time. Finally, a golden mark on his forehead burst and turned into stars.

Chen Xuanmo immediately vibrated the sword to remind Chen Ningtai.

Chen Ningtai was excited and immediately ended the performance and left the city.

Ten miles out of the city.

Chen Xuanmo's heroic spirit set its sights on the target and greeted the rebellious son.

She was an ordinary village woman dressed in plain clothes, without any trace of the aura of a cultivator. She was carrying a basket in her hand and was walking back to the village slowly.
Seeing Chen Ningtai's gaze on her, she didn't change at all.

She had no idea that there was an invisible and intangible heroic spirit lurking beside her, who had already spied on her every move.

Good guy.

She is worthy of being called the Poison Shadow Enchantress.

No wonder he was able to get away with it for so long after committing so many crimes.

Needless to say, Chen Ningtai attacked directly, and the opponent was exposed. He couldn't believe that his whereabouts would be discovered.

At this time, Su Yuanbai and Chen Ningzhuo surrounded them from both sides.

There is no need to elaborate on this battle. With Chen Xuanmo present to contain the enemy, and with three against one, no matter how many strange tricks Poison Shadow Enchantress used, she was powerless to turn the situation around.

However, this battle also made them realize the difficulty of the poison-inflicting technique.

The poison skills of the Poison Shadow Enchantress are extremely treacherous. If you fight with her for a long time, even if you are on guard, you will still be poisoned unknowingly. If they had not made a lot of targeted preparations, they would inevitably suffer losses.

I can only say that it is worthy of being a mutated spiritual root.

After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade her to surrender, in order to prevent any further complications, Chen Ningtai simply chopped off her head with a sword.

Then he began to touch the corpse skillfully.

Materials worth five or six thousand spirit stones were found on her, most of which were obviously cheated from the Li family of Lishui.

In addition, she also possesses a set of wild poison techniques called the [Ten Thousand Poisons Technique].

Of course, although the name is big enough, it cannot hide the fact that it is just a wild magic. There are two other spiritual weapons, one of which is a medium-grade poisonous spirit sword, which is very valuable.

Such a huge harvest made the Chen family, including Su Yuanbai, extremely happy.

Sure enough, hunting down those on the blacklist whose whereabouts have been exposed is the most profitable.

……

half a month later.

Yunyang Sect, Jinguan Cave.

The sect’s Merit Hall is located here, and its manager is called Master Jin Guang.

Of course, like most Jindan masters, as the person in charge, he basically only supervises the general direction and occasionally steps in to deal with some more difficult issues. The daily trivial matters of Gongde Hall are all handled by his own disciples.

"Brother, this Ten Thousand Poisons Art is a superior wild method of poisonous spiritual roots. Why do you only set the purchase price at one [Merit] and 4000 Contributions? This is obviously unreasonable." Chen Ningzhuo was bargaining with the deacon of the Merit Hall. "We want to exchange it for a wild method of different spiritual roots from the sect, but it requires two Merits and 6000 Contributions."

"And this Poison Shadow Demon Lady is a cultivator with poisonous spiritual roots. She has great poison skills and has the potential to become a golden elixir in the future. Isn't 10000 contribution points a little too little for just three merits?"

In fact, Chen Ningzhuo didn't want to bargain.

However, his old father at home felt very insecure and thought it would be better to exchange the Five Elements Formation as soon as possible, so he had to shamelessly talk to the deacon of the Merit Hall.

In my dad’s words, these guys at Gongdetang don’t understand numbers and it’s too easy for them to make prices on the spur of the moment. They need to be taught a lesson.
