Dashing Student-Chapter 1233: A Treasure Emerges?

On the deserted island, the aroma of the pill wafted through the air. Since the island itself was small, roughly the size of a house, the fragrance spread far beyond.

A group of sea beasts came to the shore, emerging from the water, their eyes fixated on Chen Nan on the island.

The strength of these sea beasts was not strong enough to be used for refining a Demon Spirit Pill, so Chen Nan had no interest. He casually took a formation set from his storage bag and placed it on the island.

Instantly, everything on the deserted island was sealed off, with not a hint escaping outside.

This was a simple Nine-grade Sealing Formation, crafted from nine fish bones, each a meter long and as thick as a wrist. After being refined and inscribed with array patterns, they formed this formation. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Chen Nan had made it in his spare time over the past few days. Having mastered the "Heaven-Reaching Array," he was quite adept at arrays.

Then, Chen Nan looked at the elixir pills in the pill furnace. The main material of the Ink Scale Water Spirit Pill was the demon core of an Ink Scale Sea Whale. Its effect was to assist Golden Core Realm cultivators in their cultivation, speeding up the process.

For cultivators primarily cultivating the Water Spirit Root, the effect of the pill would be even stronger.

Twelve pills per furnace. Chen Nan was quite satisfied and picked one up, placing it in his mouth, feeling the medicinal effects spread within his body. Apart from the somewhat violent medicinal power, it was no different from pills refined with spiritual medicine.

"Truly marvelous, I need to hunt more demon beasts to obtain spiritual materials and refine more elixirs," Chen Nan murmured to himself, slowly closing his eyes to begin cultivating. But due to the lingering power of laws within him, his cultivation progress was negligible.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, realizing that the sky was now dotted with stars, moonlight pouring onto the sea, turning into scattered light points, making the scenery more exotic compared to the mainland.

Knowing that continued cultivation was of little use, as long as the power of laws remained, he couldn’t cultivate. Frustrated, Chen Nan could only train the "Dragon Elephant Form" under the moonlight.

After taking a Demon Spirit Pill, as its effects spread throughout his body, Chen Nan began performing a series of challenging, inhuman movements, exercising every inch of his flesh.

After a night passed, Chen Nan was drenched in sweat, with his body feeling as if it had been sliced by blades, and then a warmth flowed through his flesh.

This was his usual training routine. Whenever he wasn’t hunting demon beasts, it was almost the same daily. As the sun rose, he washed briefly and went in search of other sea beasts again.

More than half a month passed like this, with Chen Nan constantly outside hunting sea beasts, cultivating, and also attempting to refine pills and create arrays using sea beast materials.

He even started trying to craft talismans himself.

On this day, in a certain sea area, Chen Nan held a light blue talisman, his eyes fixed on the sea surface. Seeing faint ripples appear, he immediately activated the talisman in his hand.

Immediately, the talisman ignited from thin air, and from the flames, a massive shadow emerged, which was a Colorful Fin Thunder Fish.

At that moment, the shadow became cloaked in thunder, diving fiercely into the sea, where countless points of light leapt and spread, stirring up waves.

Once the lightning dissipated, a sea beast blackened by the strike floated up, its charred body still emitting white smoke.

"Not bad at all, the power of a full-strength attack from a Third-Layer Golden Core Realm, plus it’s thunder, which is even stronger!"

Seeing this, Chen Nan was overjoyed. This Seventh Grade Thunder Fish Talisman was crafted from powder ground from a previous thunderfish bone, mixed with powders from several other sea beast materials.

The main challenge in crafting talismans is drawing the runes, as different runes have different effects, much like the array patterns in formations.

Having mastered formations, Chen Nan had turned to talisman crafting, quickly learning to draw Seventh Grade talismans with remarkable speed.

Now, Chen Nan needed to gradually erode the power of laws within him, and his progress in cultivating the "Dragon Elephant Form" was also slow, so he considered learning additional skills for self-defense.

Just as Chen Nan finished dealing with the demon beast’s corpse, a golden glow suddenly rose in the distance, disappearing almost as quickly as it appeared, but it made his heart jolt.

"Could it be some treasure appearing?"

Flying over swiftly, he arrived at a small island. This island was not large, overgrown with many unusual plants, but it was certain that the golden light had originated from there.

Chen Nan released his Divine Sense, scanning the small island in an instant, a joyful look appearing on his face as he swiftly flew towards the island’s center.

At the center of the island was a small pond. In the middle of the pond was a rock, and on that rock grew a golden spiritual medicine with curved leaves featuring silver veins.

"It really is Golden Marrow Grass, and it’s a Sixth-grade Spiritual Medicine!" Chen Nan exclaimed excitedly.

In the Endless Sea, the quantity of spiritual medicine is already scarce, let alone a Sixth-grade one, which is exceptionally precious, its value nearly double compared to that on the Nine Provinces Continent.

Moreover, Golden Marrow Grass is the main ingredient in many Sixth Grade Elixirs, even highly sought after by high-level Golden Core Realm cultivators. The golden light earlier must have been emitted when the Golden Marrow Grass matured.

Chen Nan smiled, feeling fortunate, and flew directly above the pond, preparing to pick the Golden Marrow Grass. Just then, a dark shadow suddenly darted out from the water.

It was a hideous water snake, over three feet long, with a pair of broad wings behind it. Opening its bloody maw, its mouth full of fangs could be seen as it fiercely lunged at Chen Nan’s head.

The water snake’s body was covered in scales, possessing a cultivation of the Fifth Layer of the Golden Core Realm, with even two bumps on its head, showing signs of Jiao Transformation.

"Hmph, I knew there would definitely be a demon beast guarding here. I didn’t expect it to be a Black Xuan Water Snake, just in time to use your demon core for alchemy!"

Chen Nan snorted coldly, swiftly sidestepping, allowing the water snake to bite at empty air.

However, the water snake suddenly turned its head, spitting out a jet of pitch-black water at Chen Nan, shooting like a sharp arrow.

Chen Nan hadn’t expected the water snake to react so quickly. Although he quickly reacted and used his movement technique to dodge, the hem of his garment was still grazed by the water jet, immediately corroding a large hole.

The water jet struck a stone on the shore, rising in white smoke with a "sizzling" sound. Within moments, the stone was corroded beyond recognition, emitting a foul stench.

Clearly, the venom of the Black Xuan Water Snake was incredibly potent, capable of corroding even metal and stone.

Missing its first strike, the Black Xuan Water Snake let out a piercing screech, pouncing like a whirlwind, its speed like lightning, with its wings slicing through the air making a series of sharp blasts.

The pond’s surface was split by the powerful energy, unable to close for a long time.

In an instant, a fierce wind rushed at him, demon qi surged to the heavens!
