Chapter 92:1 Want to Challenge My Weakness
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jie Jindong, although not as outstanding as Chen Fei, was still exceptionally remarkable.
Yesterday’s situation was truly remarkable for Jie Jindong. He dared to step forward and rely on his movent technique to lure the enemies, saving the lives of other disciples and herb gatherers.
Such courage and responsibility would undoubtedly be rewarded by the sect. Even if Jie Jindong hadn’t acted, the outco wouldn’t have changed. But the mont Jie Jindong chose to stand up, the result beca inconsequential.
Of course, the real credit this ti still belonged to Chen Fei and Guo Linshan. Without them, Jie Jindong would have attracted over 50 strange creatures.
With Jie Jindong’s movent technique, he wouldn’t have been able to escape. He would have been devoured by the Evil, which would then continue chasing after the other disciples and herb gatherers.
In the end, Jie Jindong would have died, and no one else would have escaped the dire situation.
“Jie Jindong, your brave actions in tis of danger are comndable,” the Shanggong Hall deacon said in a deep voice.
“Thank you, Martial Uncle Zhang,” Jie Jindong replied, bowing his head. His previous arrogance had disappeared. A lot had happened that day, and Xie Jindong was still trying to process it all.
“Guo Linshan, Chen Fei!”
“Here!” Chen Fei cupped his hands.
“Both of you disregarded your own safety at a critical mont and saved many disciples and herb gatherers. According to the sect’s rules, Chen Fei will be rewarded with eight thousand contribution points, and Guo Linshan with five thousand contribution points!” the Shanggong Hall deacon announced in a solemn tone.
“Thank you, Martial Uncle Zhang!” Chen Fei and Guo Linshan looked at each other and smiled.
“No need to thank . This is the sect’s rule,” the Shanggong Hall deacon waved his hand. “Dismissed.”
Feng Xiupu looked at his two disciples with a satisfied smile on his face. He was particularly surprised that Guo Linshan had a photographic stone with him.
However, Feng Xiupu had forgotten when Guo Linshan had recorded a video of him guiding him on the essentials of the Origin Connection Technique.
Two hours later, at Guo Linshan’s house.
“Brother Guo, do you have any suggestions on how to use contribution points?” Chen Fei asked, taking a sip of cold tea.
“Didn’t you ask about the conditions to access the sect’s Sutra Library? With your 8,000 contribution points, you have long surpassed the threshold. You can already use them to exchange for cultivation techniques. If you don’t want a cultivation technique, as an alchemist, you can exchange them for pill formulas,” Guo Linshan replied with a smile. “Apart from the Sutra Library, the Treasure Depository doesn’t have a threshold. You can visit it freely. They have various items such as pills and weapons that you can exchange for.”
Chen Fei’s eyes lit up. He didn’t have a strong desire for cultivation techniques. The most important thing now was to reach the fourth level of the Origin Connection Technique and advance to the Marrow Tempering realm as soon as possible.
However, that didn’t diminish Chen Fei’s interest in visiting the Sutra Library.
He wanted to broaden his horizons and see what kinds of cultivation techniques were available. Moreover, if he found a good cultivation technique, he could exchange for it when needed.
Previously, he couldn’t even enter the Sutra Library since his contribution points hadn’t reached 1,000.
“Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Guo, because we encountered the evil things this ti. We haven’t completed even half of the mission to obtain the dicinal herbs,” Chen Fei suddenly ntioned.
“Of course, we need to find a way to continue,” Guo Linshan replied. His smile vanished, and he spoke with a serious tone. “The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect doesn’t care what happens to us. They only care about the results. They’ll probably send the elders to eliminate the evilness on that mountain and continue with the dicinal herb mission.”
Chen Fei frowned slightly. The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was truly overbearing.
However, he understood that the sect was an overlord, and strength dictated attitude. Even if he felt dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.
“So, are we going?”
“No, let the other disciples go,” Guo Linshan patted Chen Fei’s shoulder. “Junior Brother, take this ti to focus on cultivating the Origin Connection Technique and reach the Marrow Tempering realm as soon as possible. Only with a high cultivation level can you ensure your safety. Sotis, you won’t be able to escape just because you want to.”
Guo Linshan was worried that Chen Fei would rely too heavily on his movent technique and neglect his martial arts realm. Movent techniques could help avoid most troubles, but there were situations where even they wouldn’t be enough to save one’s life.
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. I understand,” Chen Fei replied with a smile. He had never slackened in his pursuit of advancing his cultivation realm.
Two hours later, Chen Fei arrived in Immortal Cloud City and t Chi Defeng.
“Where have you been recently? Why do you look a little worn out?” Chen Fei asked, noticing the dark circles under Chi Defeng’s eyes. He seed unwell compared to when they last t.
“I’m fine. Since you weren’t around and there were no pills to sell, I wandered around Immortal Cloud City. I even went to the Drunken Red Pavilion a few tis. Tsk tsk, it was quite exhausting,” Chi Defeng yawned and comnted, rubbing his waist as if he couldn’t bear it but still wanted to go again.
Chen Fei couldn’t help but laugh. He realized that Chi Defeng had been spending his ti indulging in the pleasures of the city. No wonder he looked drained.
“Take it easy,” Chen Fei advised.
“I’m good,” Chi Defeng waved it off. “You haven’t told why you’re back so early. Did you encounter so trouble while gathering herbs?”
“We ran into the Divine Fla Sect and evil,” Chen Fei explained. “I suspect the Divine Fla Sect may have orchestrated the calamity as a form of revenge.”
“The Divine Fla Sect?” Chi Defeng furrowed his brows, trying to recall where he had heard the na before. After a mont, it clicked in his mind. “Ah, the sect that’s always at odds with the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. How did you offend them?”
“I don’t know. Perhaps it’s because we’re assisting the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect in herb gathering,” Chen Fei shrugged.
The Divine Fla Sect was known for their unpredictable actions. It was also possible that soone else had committed so wrongdoing and frad the Divine Fla Sect for it. Regardless, the sect had gained a notorious reputation, and no one would believe their side of the story even if they explained.
“Are we still continuing with pill refinent tomorrow?” Chi Defeng asked. He found the Drunken Red Pavilion to be a great place, with delicious food, warm hospitality, and enchanting won. The only drawback was the cost.
“Yes, we’ll continue refining the Eternal Floating Pill tomorrow. Just bring the dicinal ingredients as usual,” Chen Fei confird.
Chi Defeng nodded. Refining pills on the mountain was inconvenient, so he preferred to do it from the next day onwards. He had earned quite a sum of money recently, so he could afford to relax for a bit.
The two of them chatted for a while longer before Chen Fei left the courtyard and headed to a dicine shop.
“Sir, how may I assist you?” The shopkeeper approached Chen Fei with enthusiasm.
“Do you have any pills that can protect the body’s ridians?” Chen Fei inquired.
“Certainly, but they’re quite expensive,” the shopkeeper replied, nodding.
“What’s the price?” Chen Fei asked curiously.
“Three hundred taels each!
II
As the shopkeeper spoke, he walked to a shelf and took out a bottle of pills, placing it in front of Chen Fei.
Chen Fei’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he examined the dicinal pills on the counter. He hadn’t expected them to be so expensive.
“Could you open it so I can sll it?” Chen Fei requested.
“Of course.”
The shopkeeper nodded and opened the stopper of the dicine bottle. A faint dicinal fragrance wafted through the air. Chen Fei’s nostrils twitched as he quickly analyzed the dicinal ingredients that composed the pill.
Observing Chen Fei’s expression, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but smile. “It seems you’re knowledgeable in this field. The requirents for the dicinal ingredients used to refine this pill are extrely high. Not to ntion the supplentary ingredients, even the main ingredient, Heavenly Star Grass, needs to be matured for over twenty years.”
Chen Fei nodded. The dicinal fragrance did indeed contain traces of Heavenly Star Grass, and its dicinal properties were potent. He couldn’t determine if it had been matured for twenty years, but it had certainly taken a considerable amount of ti.
“Not many people buy this pill,” Chen Fei remarked.
“That’s true. Most custors opt for pills that enhance their inner strength, such as the Eternal Floating Pill or the Flying Ascent Pill,” the shopkeeper confird without hiding anything.
“Alright, I’ll take a look,” Chen Fei said, but he didn’t imdiately make the purchase.
“You can check other dicine shops as well. My price is already the lowest,” the shopkeeper suggested, aware of Chen Fei’s deliberation.
Chen Fei didn’t respond imdiately. He cupped his hands and left the dicine shop.
He spent so ti visiting several major dicine shops in Immortal Cloud City. The first shopkeeper had been truthful—their prices were indeed the lowest.
In the end, Chen Fei purchased a bottle and decided not to return to the sect imdiately. Instead, he chose to stay in a courtyard in Immortal Cloud City.
Night fell.
“Shall we go together?” Chi Defeng, with dark circles under his eyes, looked at Chen Fei and invited him warmly.
“That kind of place can be detrintal to one’s spirit and willpower. It poses a significant challenge to martial arts cultivation,” Chen Fei replied with a serious tone.
“So?” Chi Defeng urged.
“So, I want to confront my weakness,” Chen Fei said resolutely.
“Alright, let’s go!” Chi Defeng laughed heartily.
The two of them walked through the bustling streets of Immortal Cloud City until they reached a brightly lit restaurant. The place was filled with people coming and going, and the won at the entrance welcod guests with a cool deanor.
Rather than greeting them with smiles, the won maintained a cold expression, observing the guests’ arrival.
However, this seed to further excite the people around, who shalessly ogled at the enchanting figures of these won, barely containing their eagerness.
“This is just the entrance. The challenge lies inside,” Chi Defeng remarked with a smile as he led Chen Fei into the Drunken Red Pavilion.
“Young Master, this way, please,” a soft voice reached their ears.
The rry-making continued, and the warm breeze brought intoxicated tourists and transford Hangzhou into Bianzhou.
Four hours later, feeling refreshed, Chen Fei returned to his rented courtyard.
Failing to confront his weakness, he decided to resu cultivating.
He swallowed the ridian Protecting Pill he had purchased earlier. The pill dissolved in his mouth, releasing a cool energy that spread throughout his body. Chen Fei closed his eyes and began to vigorously circulate the Origin Connection Technique.
Increasing the proficiency of the Origin Connection Technique wasn’t sothing he could achieve in a short period. However, he could improve the proficiency of the ridian Protecting Pill.
Whether or not he could successfully complete his training would be dependent on how effective this pill was..
