168: Ice Soul King Scorpion Gu, successfully refined!

Looking at the Ice Soul King Scorpion's aggressive posture, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. However, having come this far, he could no longer back down!

The sword intent sealing the Ice Soul King Scorpion had been released. If he couldn't successfully control the Ice Soul King Scorpion, once it attacked, none of the three—Chen Changsheng and his sons—would likely survive.

"Little baby, come to me, I won't hurt you!"

Chen Changsheng gritted his teeth and walked to the side of the Ice Soul King Scorpion, then slowly reached out his hand. The Ice Soul King Scorpion stared at Chen Changsheng for several seconds; perhaps the previous blood sacrifice had made it familiar with his aura.

It finally crawled step by step into Chen Changsheng's palm. Feeling the icy coldness in his hand, Chen Changsheng felt as if he were dreaming. An Ice Soul King Scorpion strong enough to kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was actually lying quietly in his palm without attacking him, and he even had the chance to refine it into his Life Spiritual Gu!

At this moment, Chen Changsheng felt he must have used up all the dumb luck of half his lifetime!

"Father, it worked! It's listening to you!"

Seeing the Ice Soul King Scorpion staying obediently in Chen Changsheng's palm, Chen Chuanjie was equally excited. He retracted his netherworld sword and spoke with a Face full of pleasant surprise.

The excited sound of Chuanjie's voice caused the Ice Soul King Scorpion to regain its alertness. It turned to Face Chuanjie, opened its pincers, and pointed its tail at him, assuming an attacking posture.

"Little baby, don't be excited, he's a good person... be good, okay!"

Chen Changsheng quickly soothed the Ice Soul King Scorpion in a low voice, while simultaneously glaring fiercely at Chuanjie to make him be quiet. One must know that Chen Changsheng had only performed a preliminary blood refining on the Ice Soul King Scorpion, which only removed its hostility. He couldn't control it yet; he would need to refine it with essence blood for at least seven more days before he could exert preliminary control.

"Don't be excited, hehe, I'll stay far away from you!"

Seeing that the Ice Soul King Scorpion's wild nature had not yet been removed, Chen Chuanjie was also startled. He hurriedly ran off and hid to the side.

Thus, Chen Changsheng held the Ice Soul King Scorpion in one hand and the formation-breaking golden eye water-repelling pearl in the other. Chuanjie had no choice but to carry the cold abyss ice crystal and the fish monster's corpse on his back. The two of them walked toward Chen Chuanwu together.

Chen Chuanwu was still on a killing spree. With the support of the Scarlet Tiger Phenomenon, he had already killed half of the thousands of Ice Soul Poison Scorpions. Yet, Chen Chuanwu was still in high spirits, practically becoming more courageous as he fought!

"Chuanwu, stop fighting! We have the King Scorpion, let's retreat!"

Chen Changsheng hid to one side and shouted loudly at Chen Chuanwu, who was rampaging through the Ice Soul Poison Scorpions. He didn't have the courage to enter the scorpion swarm. After all, Chuanwu's anomalies—being unafraid of cold poison and being able to recover from injuries and replenish mana through slaughter—were truly monstrous!

"Father, I understand!"

Chen Chuanwu heard Chen Changsheng's call and immediately controlled the Crimson Tiger to let out a roar!

The tiger is the lord of all beasts. With a single roar, the scorpions attacking like a tide immediately stopped. Chen Chuanwu took advantage of the moment they were intimidated to break away from the swarm!

"Good boy, you've done a great job this time. Let's get out of here quickly!"

Seeing Chuanwu return safely, Chen Changsheng praised him with a smile. Seeing those poison scorpions recover and chase after them like a tide, Chen Changsheng quickly led the Chen brothers toward the upper part of the Jade Dragon Pool.

They didn't encounter any danger on the way up. They quickly passed through the stretch between five hundred and eight hundred meters where Yao Beasts existed and returned to the safe distance of five hundred meters.

"Father, I really didn't expect such a huge harvest from our dive into the Jade Dragon Pool this time!"

Returning to the safe area, Chen Chuanjie also relaxed. Looking at the vibrant schools of fish and aquatic plants around them, he spoke cheerfully.

"It's luck! If it weren't for the eldest brother's strength, the three of us would have lost our lives there!"

Chen Changsheng sighed. Although he was pleasantly surprised, he also felt a wave of lingering fear!

"Big brother's phenomenon is too strong. No wonder they say that a Body Cultivator with a phenomenon is invincible among those of the same rank and can even fight those above their level!"

Chen Chuanjie looked at Chen Chuanwu with admiration. Chen Chuanwu scratched his head a bit sheepishly and said with a smile:

"It's just so-so. If we entered the abyss at the bottom of the pool, I reckon I definitely wouldn't be able to defeat the monsters inside!"

At this point, Chen Chuanjie's eyes sparkled. He looked at Chen Changsheng with burning eyes and asked with a smile:

"Father, when shall we go take a look at the abyss at the bottom of the pool? I think there must be treasures there. Maybe the legendary Jade Dragon Hidden Manor is built at the bottom of the abyss. A Dragon Palace! Think of how many treasures there must be. If we happen to find it... we'll strike it rich!"

Seeing Chuanjie's eager look, Chen Changsheng wanted to give him a slap. It was just that he was holding the King Scorpion in one hand and the Water-Avoiding Bead in the other, and couldn't spare a hand!

One should know that their trip to the bottom of the pool this time was a narrow escape. They were almost wiped out by the Ice Soul Poison Scorpions that crawled out of the abyss. If they entered the abyss itself, who knows what powerful monsters might emerge!

"Stop dreaming. Don't even think about going to the bottom of the abyss before you enter the Foundation Establishment Stage. I don't want to see the white-haired bury the black-haired!"

Chen Changsheng glared at Chen Chuanjie. Chen Chuanjie chuckled, knowing his curiosity was too great. Such a dangerous place was not somewhere one could easily explore!

The group chatted and laughed, and soon they surfaced from the Jade Dragon Pool and reached the shore!

"Chuanjie, Chuanwu, you two put the ice crystals and the Yao Beast corpses into the Spiritual Land's storehouse first. I need to go into secluded cultivation for seven days to completely subdue this King Scorpion. During this time, don't disturb me!"

Chen Changsheng spoke to the two brothers, then left them and went to the Pill Refining Room where he usually practiced.

Almost all kinds of Materials were available in the Pill Refining Room, enough for him to refine essence blood and feed the Ice Soul King Scorpion!

Day one.

Chen Changsheng took out medicinal herbs and forced out a drop of his essence blood. Using the secret technique recorded in the "Hundred Gu Manual," he finished refining the essence blood and then fed it to the Ice Soul King Scorpion.

The Ice Soul King Scorpion was also quite cooperative, absorbing that drop of essence blood. At the same time, Chen Changsheng felt that his mental connection with the Ice Soul King Scorpion became a bit closer.

In this way, Chen Changsheng repeated this set of steps until the seventh day!

Day seven.

This day was crucial because it was the last day of feeding the Ice Soul King Scorpion with essence blood. After the feeding was complete, Chen Changsheng needed to use blood as a medium to place his own mental imprint on it.

Chen Changsheng took out a drop of refined essence blood and placed it before the Ice Soul King Scorpion. The Ice Soul King Scorpion had already grown accustomed to having a supplement every day, so it swallowed the essence blood in one gulp.

In an instant, Chen Changsheng felt the consciousness of the Ice Soul King Scorpion. It was as if a thin thread connected them.

"Delicious... want more..."

Chen Changsheng felt the Ice Soul King Scorpion's thoughts. Then, he performed hand seals and began the final step of the secret technique.

"Using blood as a medium, mental imprint!"

Chen Changsheng performed the secret technique. He felt a mental jolt as a large amount of Mental Energy drained away. Then, a complex transparent pattern appeared before his eyes. It followed the thin Bloodline connection between Chen Changsheng and the Ice Soul King Scorpion and entered the Ice Soul King Scorpion's Sea of Consciousness.

"Be good, accept it. I'll find you more Yang Qi and better supplements!"

Chen Changsheng transmitted waves of thoughts to the Ice Soul King Scorpion. The Ice Soul King Scorpion fell into a daze. After a long time, its thoughts came back.

"Okay... want better ones!"

Then, the pattern condensed from Mental Energy suddenly emitted light and was imprinted into the Ice Soul King Scorpion's Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, the Ice Soul King Scorpion Gu was refined!!!
