Chapter 38: War Erupts on All Sides
Inside the tree hole, Ye Fei closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, seemingly meditating. His breath had also recovered to its peak. The storage bag in front of him was gone, along with various magical tools.
It turned out that three days ago, Ye Fei had checked all the storage bags and found nothing but some low-grade magic tools, some miscellaneous materials, a few bottles of Yuanling Dan, and some medicine to restore magical powers.
There are several medicinal herbs, Ye Fei doesn't recognize them either, leave them for later to study when going out, the good law instruments have been taken out to respond to the enemy, and only these things are left.
However, this time he obtained a large amount of spiritual stones, with more than 700 pieces, which made Ye Fei somewhat overjoyed.
Of course, what made Ye Fei most proud was the high-ranking magic tool, the transparent flying needle, as well as five mid-ranking magic tools. There were Blue Jun's two identical daggers, a red silk-shaped magic tool from that female cultivator of the Piaomiao Sect, and a three-foot-long sword. Ye Fei remembered that the disciples of the Wanjian Pavilion each had one, so it was likely that the female cultivator had obtained it by killing a disciple of the Wanjian Pavilion.
The last yellowish small bowl should be the spoils of war that Lan Jun obtained by killing others, but now all of this has become Ye Fei's spoils of war.
Overall, this harvest is quite bountiful, and for future exchanges to repair meridians' elixirs, there is a certain amount of capital. Now the only thing lacking is to think of ways to make some contributions to the sect and obtain the sect's reward of foundation-establishing elixir.
"Alas, if it's this perilous on the outskirts, I imagine it's even more treacherous deeper in. To be able to lay a foundation and change my fate, to break free from the result of only having eighteen years of life, I can only venture deeper." Ye Fei said as he stood up without any further hesitation and walked towards the outside of the tree hole.
……
Wanxiandong, near the central area, in a palace ruin nearby, there were more than ten figures with different attire standing around, each with furrowed brows and a contemplative look.
"Gentlemen, since all four of our factions have discovered this seal, we should divide the benefits among us. Otherwise, who knows what treasures are inside? We'll just end up killing each other." A young man dressed in white clothes with a sword on his back said so. Judging from his attire, he should be a disciple of the Wan Jian Pavilion.
"Not bad, since that's the case, let's cooperate for now. Open up the seal and see what treasures are inside. Then we can discuss how to divide them." A tall, muscular man with a red fruit on his head said this, seemingly a cultivator from the Valley of Ease.
Everyone heard the words, and they all nodded silently. These people, even if they were the lowest in cultivation, had at least reached the eighth layer of Qi Refining. Their faces were cold and stern, clearly acknowledging a temporary alliance.
"Aaaaah!" A thunderous roar.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, the ground shook violently. A majestic white elephant, over 10 feet tall and robust in build, dragged its plump body step by step towards the crowd.
Every step it took, the earth shook, and on its head grew a pair of white short horns, emitting waves of soft light. The terrifying giant mouth opened and closed, spewing out waves of white mist.
"Not good, is it a nuclear phase anomaly?" At this time, everyone finally reacted and a cry of surprise spread through the crowd.
"What should we do? Should we fight or hide?" a girl asked, looking at several people beside her.
The first speaker, a disciple of the Wan Jian Pavilion, raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Hmph, can everyone bear to leave behind the treasures in this abandoned place?"
"It's just a nuclear beast, with so many of us here, are we still afraid of it?" As soon as he finished speaking, his sleeve robe shook, and a treasure flew out in a flash.
Others seeing this also did not intend to escape, but with a solemn expression each released their treasures and charged towards the white giant elephant.
……
On one side of the mountain slope, there were about seven or eight figures surrounding and attacking three white-clad youths. A burst of treasure light swept across, accompanied by a loud whistling wind, and explosions erupted in mid-air.
On the ground, there were three or four corpses lying quietly on the ground, seemingly lifeless. The air was thick with a strong bloody smell.
……
In a vast expanse of white mist, a gray figure moved swiftly forward, cautiously gazing around with eyes that seemed to have just experienced a great battle. The bloodstains on his body appeared to be proof of this. However, with his cultivation at the eighth layer of Qi Refining, generally speaking, as long as he wasn't too greedy, self-preservation shouldn't be a problem.
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed before the young man's eyes, and with a gurgling sound, the young man's head rolled off without warning, his body and head separated, his eyes showing no fear, still maintaining a cautious vigilance as he looked around.
It seems that until death, the youth was not prepared at all. Just as this strange scene was unfolding, a misty aura stirred nearby, and a faint, blurry figure flashed out, holding a sharp, strange blade in hand.
It was a middle-aged man in black clothes, with a sly smile on his face, looking at the corpse lying on the ground, and a cold arc rising from the corner of his mouth.
The next moment, he raised his hand in front of his chest and took off a yellowish talisman, on which a faint spiritual light was flashing.
"Haha, the disciples of Wanjian Pavilion are indeed from a good family. This stealth talisman is truly ingenious and has endless uses. Unfortunately, it can't deceive the divine sense of a foundation-building cultivator."
No big deal, since this Qi Practitioner of the Thousand Cliff Sect's 8th layer was easily killed by me, I should be able to heavily injure a 9th layer Qi Practitioner, even if I couldn't catch him off guard. Heh heh." The black-robed middle-aged man said with a smile as he looked at the yellow talisman in his hand.
He put away the talisman in his hand, and the black-clothed youth walked to the side of the corpse, bent down and rummaged through it for a while, pulled out a storage bag, shook it with his hand, and revealed a hint of a smile.
"Heh heh, first check the spoils of war, then wait for the lone sheep to fall behind!" As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed middle-aged man flashed and darted through the fog, rushing towards a distant place.
……
On the edge of a mountain valley, a young man dressed in white clothes, with slightly dark skin and somewhat dull eyes, suddenly flashed out. This person was Ye Fei.
Looking back at the valley, Ye Fei smiled slightly, and his spiritual sense had already sensed that someone was fighting, so he came out from a bush on one side of the valley.
"This time in Wansian Cave, the main focus is still on picking spiritual medicine, trying to avoid fighting with people as much as possible. After all, some spiritual medicines can also be exchanged for foundation-building pills." Ye Fei said, and then looked in a certain direction.
Three days later, Ye Fei had just crossed a hill and was traveling through a desolate plain. As far as the eye could see, there was only a thick white mist that obscured more than half of his vision. This was extremely dangerous for cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage.
But Ye Fei didn't seem to mind too much, first closing his eyes and releasing his consciousness, after a slight response for a moment, he then walked into the fog. (End of chapter)
