Dashing Student-Chapter 1232: Strict Investigation of the Killer

Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Strict Investigation of the Killer

"Sect Master, something terrible has happened!"

On Jinpings Island, an urgent voice broke the calm, and a figure hurriedly rushed into a building.

In the hall of the building sat several elders with immortal demeanor, all looking over with some dissatisfaction.

"Rushing around in panic, what does this look like?" The elder sitting at the highest position showed displeasure, lightly flicked his horsetail whisk, and snorted coldly.

The disciple who came to report was immediately drenched in cold sweat: "Sect Master, this disciple has urgent news to report!"

Jinpings Island is a medium power within the Righteous Alliance. Sect Leader Qian Shouyi is a mighty Nascent Soul Realm Third Layer cultivator, known for his rigid and cold demeanor. He also serves as the appointed logistics manager of the Righteous Alliance.

The Righteous Alliance opposes the Demon Sect, and it’s not just about slogans; territorial disputes require battling and fatalities. Without sufficient benefits, neither the Righteous nor the Demon Sect would risk their lives.

Hence, whether it’s Spirit Stones, Elixir Pills, talismans, or Array, someone needs to handle arrangements. Qian Shouyi is such a person. He leads his disciples as envoys of the Righteous Alliance to collect protection fees.

"Speak, what’s the matter?"

As the logistics manager, Qian Shouyi holds significant power. Even cultivators, like ordinary people, engage in intrigues, all seeking more benefits. Therefore, everyone flattered this logistician.

Looking at the disciple’s panicked expression, he was somewhat irritated.

The disciple hurriedly reported: "Sect Master, Elder Sun Changgeng’s Life Plate is shattered!"

"What?" Qian Shouyi’s expression suddenly changed!

Sun Changgeng is not only his disciple and an elder on Jinpings Island but also an envoy of the Righteous Alliance. Who would dare kill an envoy within the Righteous territory?

"Could it be that someone from the Demon Sect has infiltrated our rear?"

"Disciple doesn’t know!" The reporting disciple repeatedly shook his head.

Qian Shouyi snorted coldly: "Someone dared to kill my disciple without putting this Sect Leader or the Righteous Alliance in their eyes."

"Investigate for me, make sure to catch the murderer!"

A sect elder stood up worriedly and said: "Sect Master, we should first find out what actually happened. Many eyes are watching your position; if you make a mistake, someone will definitely exploit it."

Qian Shouyi calmed down significantly and nodded slowly: "Alright, let’s investigate thoroughly, but regardless, whoever dared to kill a cultivator from Jinpings Island must not be let off!"

Soon, several cultivators from Jinpings Island quickly left the island to investigate. Besides being cultivators from Jinpings Island, they also held the role of envoys for the Righteous Alliance.

...

On the other side, Chen Nan was completely unaware of all this. After killing Sun Changgeng, he began the process of hunting demon beasts.

In a calm sea, ripples suddenly appeared on the water’s surface, growing bigger and bigger, until eventually, a massive creature emerged from the water.

It was a huge fish over three zhang long, with scales still carrying sparks of lightning, and colorful fins on its belly. Soon after, a figure flew out of the sea, it was Chen Nan.

After inspecting the features of the large fish, Chen Nan took out the "Unrestrained Sea Chronicles" and quickly found the description of this fish, called the Colorful Fin Thunder Fish.

The most precious part of the Colorful Fin Thunder Fish is a bone in its head, containing Thunder Power, an excellent material for refining artifacts, and this Thunder Fish is at the First-Layer Golden Core Realm, thus it can be used to craft a Seventh Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Following the description, Chen Nan lightly sliced with Sword Chenyuan, cutting open the Thunder Fish’s head to reveal the blood-colored bone inside.

After taking the most valuable part, he used the Blood Gourd to store the corpse of the Colorful Fin Thunder Fish to refine it into a Demon Spirit Pill for cultivation.

Having left Luoyue Island only a few days ago, Chen Nan had already been practicing by hunting demon beasts and processing their materials, absorbing much of the knowledge recorded in the "Chronicles."

Gazing into the distance, Chen Nan discovered a small island not far away. Upon flying over, he found it was an uninhabited deserted island, perfect for some rest and adjustment.

Taking out the newly acquired Thunder Fish Bone, Chen Nan summoned the Heavy Mountain Pill Furnace, snapped his fingers lightly, and the Heaven-Burning Flame roared to life within the furnace.

Once the temperature reached a certain level, he placed the Thunderfish Bone into it, using a special method to gradually clear away the remaining demands on the Thunderfish Bone.

A quarter of an hour later, the Thunderfish Bone turned a vibrant crimson, finally oozing a bright red blood bead, which was the remaining Demon Qi on the bone, left as Blood Evil Qi by the Sea Beast before it died.

To others, the Blood Evil Qi is a discarded waste. Even if not completely incinerated in the Pill Furnace, it would still be discarded.

However, for Chen Nan, who practices the Heaven-Slaying Art, Blood Evil Qi is a great supplement, strengthening his art. He directly absorbs it.

He has found another method to cultivate the Heaven-Slaying Art that doesn’t necessarily require killing humans; killing demon beasts also works. He just did not know how to extract Blood Evil Qi from demon beasts before.

For Chen Nan, the materials from the Sea Beast can be extracted; even if unused, they can be exchanged for Spirit Stones. The corpse of the Sea Beast can be refined into a Demon Spirit Pill, and even Blood Evil Qi can be absorbed, ensuring nothing is wasted.

After all this, a trace of red flashed through Chen Nan’s eyes, feeling the Blood Crystal within his body grow slightly, then smilingly retrieved the refined Thunderfish Bone.

Now the Thunderfish Bone is as smooth as jade, becoming an excellent refining material, directly stored in his storage bag.

"The resources of the Endless Sea are indeed plentiful, but it’s too dangerous," he chuckled to himself.

In just a few days at sea, sea beasts are everywhere, with even some immensely powerful ones forcing him to retreat.

Such an environment makes cultivators from the Endless Sea more adept at warfare, possessing more ferocity compared to those from the Nine Provinces Continent.

After a brief adjustment, Chen Nan took out some more materials from his storage bag, gathered from hunting demon beasts and previous purchases at the Luoyue Island market.

Using demon beast materials to refine elixirs was something he hadn’t tried before, so after collecting the materials, he couldn’t wait to try it.

The process of refining elixirs with demon beast materials is similar to using Spiritual Medicine, posing no problem for Chen Nan, a Fifth Grade Alchemist.

Thus, in just half an hour, he refined a furnace of Seventh Grade Ink Scale Water Spirit Pills, the aroma even attracting sea beasts from the surrounding waters of the island.
