Chapter 250 Everything is connected

[Ding! Your Tianhai Sect Alchemy Technique has reached the Great Perfection stage, costing 20,000 spirit stones!]

[Ding! Your Tianhai Sect alchemy skills have reached their peak after consuming 40,000 spirit stones!]

[Ding! Eighty thousand spirit stones have been consumed. Your Tianhai Sect alchemy technique has been upgraded to perfect perfection!]

Chen Yang consumed 150,000 spirit stones in one go, raising the Tianhai Sect's alchemy technique to its highest level.

Then, it was as if a warm, soothing honey water had flooded into his mind, filling his head and nourishing his spirit.

Chen Yang felt that his mental consciousness had become more stable and his mental strength had increased slightly.

The next moment, a continuous stream of knowledge flooded into his mind.

It seems that the Tianhai Sect's alchemy technique not only improves alchemy skills, but also enhances the alchemist's mental strength during practice.

After all, mental strength is very important for refining good pills.

It took more than half an hour for the wave of knowledge in Chen Yang's mind to finally subside.

He opened his eyes, panting heavily.

At this moment, Chen Yang was already extremely proficient in all aspects of alchemy.

Alchemy may seem like cooking, where various medicinal herbs are added to an alchemical furnace for extraction. However, true alchemy requires a thorough understanding of all the components of each herb, the ability to perfectly separate and control each component, and the ability to blend them with other medicinal components.

In this process, one must be very familiar with everything, from the heat and timing to the smells and vibrations of the alchemy furnace.

Chen Yang exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes instantly turning ruthless.

After perfecting the alchemy techniques of the Tianhai Sect, Chen Yang instantly understood what was being cultivated in the seawater.

That was a giant demon beast called the Netherworld Ghost-Faced Demon!

This monstrous beast is a hundred meters long, its entire body is shrouded in malevolent energy, it has a ghostly face, and a fish-like body like a cleaner.

This kind of demon-faced monster is not only highly poisonous, but it is also very difficult to raise.

The Netherworld Demon can only live in areas devoid of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy in the air is a deadly poison to them.

During the process of raising the Netherworld Ghost-Faced Demon, the various auras and bodily fluids emitted by the Netherworld Ghost-Faced Demon, as well as the evil aura on its body surface, will gradually change the surrounding environment into an area like the Netherworld, which is absolutely unsuitable for human survival.

Therefore, the number of Netherworld Ghost-faced Demons is very small. Their living environment is already harsh, and once they reproduce, they will cause large-scale pollution, leading to the death of hundreds of millions of cultivators.

The Netherworld Ghost-Faced Demon is the core ingredient for refining the Barrier-Breaking and Dao-Clearing Pill.

The demonic core of the Netherworld Ghost-Faced Demon can be used to refine the Barrier-Breaking and Dao-Clearing Pill, which is extremely precious to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This elixir allows cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage to perceive their inner demons and karmic obstacles in advance, thus overcoming them.

In the process of taking elixirs and overcoming obstacles, one can temper one's mind, eliminate one's inner demons, and make one's foundation for cultivation more perfect.

The more you consume, the more perfect your Dao foundation becomes, and you will not encounter any bottlenecks in the subsequent improvement process.

Cultivators who have taken the Breakthrough and Clearing Pill can easily advance from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Divine Power Realm, allowing their Dao Foundation to easily condense into divine powers.

That is why the Barrier-Breaking and Dao-Clearing Pill is very expensive and sought after, but also extremely rare.

Tianhaimen is the largest producer of the Barrier-Breaking and Dao-Clearing Pill.

The Central Plains are naturally not a place where the Netherworld Demon-faced Demon can be raised, as it would cause widespread pollution. Once this pollution spreads, it is impossible to eliminate, and people living nearby would have no choice but to relocate.

Since Tianhaimen could not raise Netherworld Ghost-Faced Demons in the Central Plains, they designated this southern region as a breeding ground for them.

Chen Yang's mind suddenly exploded!

At this moment, Chen Yang suddenly understood all his doubts. He stood there in astonishment, finally able to see through this place and the secrets of Tianhaimen.

At this moment, Zhou Fen and Zhou Qing knocked on the door.

Chen Yang opened the door, and the two women looked at him with concern.

Zhou Fen walked in and asked Chen Yang, "Young Master Chen, are you alright? You came into this room as soon as you got back, and I was worried something might have happened to you."

Chen Yang waved his hand, sighed slightly, and said, "Miss Zhou, thank you. Thank you for letting me see these things clearly."

Zhou Fen looked at Chen Yang strangely.

Chen Yang shook his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just need some peace and quiet."

Zhou Fen nodded and then said, "Alright, Young Master Chen, my sister and I will go prepare the meal together."

The two women closed the door and left.

Chen Yang let out a long sigh and sat down on the stool, his fists clenched tightly.

Chen Yang now understands that everything was a scheme orchestrated by Tianhaimen!

Previously, the female ghost master of the first wife had said that this place had thin spiritual energy and barren spiritual resources, and that there was only a place to develop in the Central Plains.

At that time, Su Nuanyun, the great-grandmother, also said that there was no future in staying here.

At this moment, Chen Yang understood that the reason why this place had become such a barren land was all the work of Tianhaimen!

For profit and to cultivate the Netherworld Ghost-Faced Demon, Tianhai Sect destroyed the spiritual roots and ley lines of this southern region, causing the spiritual energy here to dissipate and allowing the seawater here to nurture the Netherworld Ghost-Faced Demon.

But Tianhaimen knew this was illegal and inhumane! To prevent the information from leaking, they controlled everything here.

The hundreds of millions of people here have no idea what happened.

In order to better control the situation, Tianhai Sect would take away every cultivator who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Here, once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm, they are forcibly sent away to the Central Continent, and are not allowed to return.

This is why there are so many Foundation Establishment cultivators here, but none of them have returned after going to Zhongzhou.

Only Su Nuanyun, the great-grandmother of the second wife, was able to return, but that was because Su Nuanyun was too talented and had already begun to break through to the Core Formation stage at a young age.

Even a cultivator of Su Nuanyun's level was cautious after returning to the Southern Region, not daring to say a word. She had to watch her junior sister's expression and obey the rules and orders of the Tianhai Sect's law enforcement envoy here.

All of this was done by Tianhaimen simply to gain control, to turn this place into their own sect's breeding ground!

Just as Zhou Fen said, the pollution is only in the ocean now, but in a few decades or hundreds of years, all the people and cultivators living in the entire Southern Region, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Kingdom, will be completely wiped out!

As for those cultivators who had successfully established their foundations, Chen Yang didn't know what became of them after they were taken away by the Tianhai Sect.

But Chen Yang understood that anyone who could still establish their foundation in this place, with such scarce spiritual energy, was an absolute genius, one in ten thousand.

At least these cultivators who have successfully established their foundations will all be outstanding talents once they arrive in Zhongzhou.

Therefore, if I want to stop Tianhaimen, I must be extremely careful.

Once discovered by the Tianhaimen, they will inevitably take him away.

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, having figured everything out, and gave a cold smile.

I do need to be careful going forward, but this damn Tianhaimen, I'm not going to obediently become a lamb to the slaughter in your hands!

Chen Yang let out a long breath, walked out the door, and arrived at the living room made of coral.

This place was originally inhabited by a group of merfolk, but now only two sisters, Zhou Fen and Zhou Qing, remain, and Zhou Fen is terminally ill.

At this moment, Chen Yang also realized that the poison technique of the Netherworld Ghost-faced Demon was too strong, and with his current abilities, he was simply unable to save Zhou Fen.

However, there is one way to help Zhou Fen endure the pain for a while longer.
