Above the underground river, Chen Fan, led by the Nineteenth Grand Master Chen Tianxu, came to the place where the dragon's body was hovering marked on the gold foil. The water here was like a whirlpool, the undercurrent was surging, and the cold air was heavier than other places.
Chen Tianren and others stood behind Chen Fan, looking surprised and suspicious.
They knew that Chen Fan was extraordinary, but they never expected that Chen Fan could guess the location of the water prison just by looking at the gold foil. They had all been here before. In fact, the Chen family had been exploring the entire underground river for generations.
, but except for the ancestor Tianxuan back then, no one has ever discovered the so-called water prison.
"Chen Fan, are you sure this is the water prison?" Chen Tianxu's eyes flashed with light, and there was a stream of true energy flowing in his eyes. This is a secret technique, which can also be called pupil technique, but it is just a relatively superficial kind of gazing energy.
's method.
But even with this kind of technique, only Chen Tianxu could successfully cultivate it by chance. It was precisely by virtue of this secret technique that Chen Tianxu had attainments far beyond those of his clansmen in formations and mechanisms.
Chen Tianxu has been maintaining and repairing this secret place of the Chen family over the years, so that it will not completely decline.
"Nineteenth Master, the water patterns here form their own formation. If you look at it this way, you can't tell what it is." Chen Fan smiled, pointed his finger, and a stream of innate purple energy flowed out, simulating the water patterns here, but
After a while, the undercurrent hidden at the bottom of the river appeared in front of everyone.
Under the river, there are actually nine undercurrent whirlpools. The nine whirlpools form an arrangement similar to a nine-square grid, but it is different from the ordinary nine-square grid. It is more hidden, and the water flows between them are actually interconnected.
"Is this? Formation?" Chen Tianxu glared.
He had also gone down to investigate in person, but at first he only found that there were dense undercurrents here, and if he was not careful, he would be sucked to the bottom of the water. However, he never thought that there would be such a seemingly natural thing under the deep water of this underground river.
Secret passage.
"It's a formation, but it's not all a formation. It should be dug out by someone with the help of naturally formed undercurrents. These holes are several meters big and only the size of a fist, but the effect is the same. They are straight and straight, collecting water and gas.
, using this as an array can connect the internal and external spiritual energy, but isolate the external opposite side. If I guessed correctly, there is a corresponding arrangement inside!"
Chen Fan explained with a smile. He transformed the innate purple energy in his hand and quickly simulated other possible arrangements under the underground river.
"This..." Chen Tianxu just glanced at it and felt dizzy.
It's not that he is too unbearable, but that the arrangement simulated by Chen Fan seems to have a bad influence on people.
"Nineteenth Grandpa, Great Grandpa, you guys wait for me on the shore, I'll go down to investigate." Chen Fan collected his innate purple energy and was about to go down to the river.
"Wait a minute, Chen Fan, this is a water-proof bead handed down from the ancestors of the clan. Holding it in your mouth allows you to breathe freely in the water. Although it is damaged, it is still useful!"
At this moment, Chen Tianxu pulled Chen Fan and gave him a dark jade-colored bead.
The beads were the size of pigeon eggs, with naturally formed lines on them. Chen Fan squinted his eyes, looked at Chen Tianxu in surprise, and asked, "Nineteenth Master, is this really passed down from our ancestors?"
"How can I lie to you? This is one of the few magical artifacts left in the secret place after our Chen family moved to Jiangyin. When we usually explore the river, we need to bring this bead just in case. Unfortunately,
When I first got it, this bead could keep people breathing underwater for three hours, but later the time limit became shorter and shorter!" Chen Tianxu sighed.
They only knew that the beads had an effect, but they didn't know why the effect was getting weaker and weaker.
Chen Fan patted his head and casually clicked on the bead. As his innate purple energy melted into the bead, the bead immediately turned purple, and the natural lines that had been somewhat faded suddenly lit up again.
"Chen Fan, what are you doing?" Chen Tianxu glared.
This bead has been in his hands for decades, but he has never seen it look like this.
"Nineteenth Master, this is a thousand-year-old clam bead with natural water patterns inside. Unfortunately, the tribesmen don't know how to take care of it and almost erased the natural water patterns inside it!" Chen Fan explained.
Thousand-year-old clam beads like this are also good magic weapon materials in the spiritual world. They can be used to refine water-based magic weapons. Although the raw materials can be used, they are simply a waste of resources.
"Ah..." Chen Tianxu regretted.
"Chen Fan, you mean, you can repair this bead?" Chen Tianren said unexpectedly.
Chen Fan nodded, "In fact, it's not difficult, but just repairing it is too wasteful. If you give me this bead to refine, it can be refined into a water control bead, which can not only breathe freely underwater, but also have offensive and defensive effects."
."
"You mean, you still know how to refine weapons?" Chen Tianli exclaimed.
The Chen family has the heritage of refining medicine and even elixirs, but it seems that even ancestor Tianxuan was not good at refining weapons.
"I understand a little bit, Grandpa, just wait for me for a moment."
As Chen Fan said this, he immediately sat cross-legged, stretched out his hand, and a purple flame appeared out of thin air. It was the innate purple fire in his purple copper furnace.
As soon as the innate purple fire appeared, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose a lot. Under the horrified gazes of Chen Tianren and others, Chen Fan pressed the seal to turn the innate purple fire into an illusory purple furnace and the purple copper furnace in his body.
Somewhat similar.
"Fire gathered in the void and condensed into form. What kind of fortune did this child of the Chen family have?" Chen Tianren was surprised.
They knew that Chen Fan not only received the inheritance from ancestor Tianxuan, but also received the secret inheritance of Taoism, otherwise he would not be recognized by the Taoist sects as a new generation of Taoist protectors.
But they didn't know what kind of destiny Chen Fan had.
Now, what Chen Fan showed was simply unbelievable to them.
"Brother, I'm afraid this is not a fire gathering in the void. This flame has the same aura as the innate purple energy he used before. I'm afraid Chen Fan has already cultivated his own true fire. Is this a practitioner in the foundation building stage?" Chen Tianli
Shaking his head, he sighed with envy.
But it was just envy. Chen Fan dared to refine weapons on the spot in front of them, so he naturally trusted them, which was very useful to them.
"Fifth brother is right. There were members of our Tang family who cultivated true fire. However, according to the records, it was far less condensed than the flame in Chen Fan's hand. The Chen family has truly produced an extraordinary descendant.
!" Tang Xin sighed with emotion.
The Tang family in Sichuan also had a glorious history. Unfortunately, even the Tang family did not have the foundation of the Chen family. They actually had a secret place of their own, so that in the era when spiritual energy was not obvious, they gradually declined. As early as hundreds of years ago
, it became a martial arts family, and now there are even fewer people practicing martial arts in the family.
"Don't say anything, Chen Fan is about to start!" Du Yue'e was filled with joy and glared at the others. Immediately, everyone closed their mouths and stared at the flame in Chen Fan's hand.
