Cultivation by Trial and Error Chapter 719: 712 Midnight

Chapter 719: Chapter 712 Midnight

Upon hearing everyone’s questions and feeling their gazes on him, Chen Hai shrugged and let out a chuckle.

He scanned the people present and responded, “Perhaps you don’t know, but before, everyone else in our team had perished, leaving only as the sole survivor. It wasn’t because I was strong but simply because I was too weak. Captain Fang simply didn’t take any notice of my insignificant strength.”

“To say that I’m an old-tir in the team is certainly true, but if we really calculate by ti, compared to all of you, it’s only that I joined the Enemy-breaking Camp one or two months earlier.”

“As for the matters within this camp, I really don’t know much either.”

“If you want to know about matters related to rit, you can take a stroll to the rit Hall, which isn’t far from here, just one or two li away in the southwest direction. If you’re keen, you can easily find the place.”

“I won’t conceal from you, although I’ve been in the camp for a few months, aside from the rit Hall, I’m not really familiar with the other areas of the camp. Compared to you all, I’m hardly much stronger.”

“If you want to understand more about the camp, take advantage of the ti you have just after joining the Enemy-breaking Camp, I suggest you explore the vicinity a bit more!”

After explaining this to Li Kuishan, Sun Tu, and others, Chen Hai turned around, not looking back, and headed for his own quarters.

Aside from concealing so aspects of his strength, what he had said was indeed the truth.

In his view, as long as one’s strength was sufficient, it could vanquish all laws in the world. Therefore, he was solely focused on quietly cultivating to improve his strength. As for other matters, he genuinely wasn’t much concerned.

If he was strong enough to want to know the surrounding situation, a re thought would suffice; why would he need to wander around?

As for what Li Kuishan, Sun Tu, and the others were thinking, that was their own business.

The current Chen Hai was rely a small soldier within the Enemy-breaking Camp. As long as he could maintain his own peace, he had no energy to care for others.

“What should we do? That Chen Hai seems to be quite independent, relying on his status as an old-tir in the camp, he doesn’t seem willing to interact or mingle with us!”

“Heaven will rain, and mothers will marry off. If that Chen Hai, with his re strength, doesn’t want to band together with us, then let him be.”

“In the Enemy-breaking Camp, we newcors are just the lowest tier. If we want to live long and well, the only way is to huddle together for warmth. If Chen Hai looks down on us, then we don’t think much of him either!”

“The rit Hall is nearby, right? Let’s go there first and see what’s going on!”

…

A group gathered and whispered among themselves for a while.

Soon, they had made a decision and reached a consensus. They walked out of their quarters in a group, heading toward the southwest direction where the rit Hall was located.

Back in his room, Chen Hai wasted no ti. He sat cross-legged and began his Cultivation practice.

The power that poured into his body after tearing through the void had increased by two additional streams.

It looked like, during this period, two more of his disciples who had received the Black Water True Technique inheritance had successfully begun their training, starting to channel strength back to him.

For other cultivators, a little delay ant nothing more than an inability to cultivate normally.

But for him, apart from an inability to cultivate on his own, the strength his disciples channeled back to him would dissipate into the world if he did not guide it in ti, causing significant losses to him.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed.

The slight impact caused by the deaths of Fang Xuan and others had finally passed.

Chen Hai, who was already prepared to be questioned again, wasn’t approached by anyone for further questioning.

Night had fallen, pitch black and impenetrable, the crescent moon concealed by dense clouds, its shadow unseen for several days.

The room where Chen Hai lived kept its doors tightly shut as ever, but one side of the window lattice had been gently pushed open.

A shadow burst out from the open window and, in just a few flickers, rged into the darkness, vanishing without a trace.

After a short period, akin to the ti it takes to brew a cup of tea, at the boundary between the Heavenly Mansion’s and the Demon Palace’s territories within the mining area.

Near a sparse thicket, the shadow once again took form.

Dressed all in black, his face hidden behind a ghost face mask, his features were completely obscured.

This shadow was naturally none other than Chen Hai.

When Blue Star had first rged with the Primordial Land, he donned a ghost face mask, rendering Zhang Yushan from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect unconscious with a single slap, and robbed him clean of his possessions.

He had kept this mask in his Storage Pouch all this ti, and now that he wished to hide his tracks, he naturally took it out and put it on, masking his identity.

“This is the right place. Initially, the Star Stones I had plundered from the Demon Palace camp amidst the confusion were hidden right here!” he murmured to himself and squatted down.

After searching around beneath the bushes, once he had pinpointed the exact location, he plunged his fingers directly into the soil.

A chunk of earth over a ter deep was forcibly overturned, and from beneath this soil, he retrieved three Storage Bags, each the size of a palm, and casually stashed them in his bosom.

With Fang Xuan and the others dead, and he alone surviving, he was bound to be subjected to scrutiny.

The Star Stones were valuable, and if Chen Hai kept them on his person, his suspicions would grow once they were exposed!

After all, according to the excuse he had found for himself, Fang Xuan had led the team into the Demon Palace camp while he was left behind in another courtyard due to his insufficient strength.

Then where did these Star Stones on him actually co from?

Once exposed, there would be no way for Chen Hai to explain it away.

Hiding the Star Stones was a precautionary asure.

Nobody had summoned him for so many days, and he was certain that the repercussions of Fang Xuan’s death had mostly passed; only then did he find ti to retrieve the Star Stones from this location.

Now that the items were in hand, he restored the overturned ground under the bushes to its original state.

Only after he was confident that the faint traces he left were hard to detect did Chen Hai stand up and, following the path he arrived by, stealthily made his way back.

“Soone…” Hardly two to three hundred ters out, Chen Hai, who had been exceedingly careful and on high alert, furrowed his brows and swiftly concealed his form behind a nearby pile of rubble.

The approaching person was incredibly fast, moving without a hint of wind noise. Such a level of skill was definitely beyond that of a Heavenly Immortal, entering the realm of a Golden Immortal.

Chen Hai was absolutely confident that his Concealing Breath Technique could fool those at the Heavenly Immortal level like himself.

However, facing a Golden Immortal, he felt it was still best to be extra cautious and secure.

At this mont, he seed to have beco one with the disorderly stones before him, not just in appearance, but even his aura was indistinguishable from ordinary rocks.

He had just concealed himself when, in less than the ti it took to breathe in, a figure dressed in black and wearing a black cloth across the face whisked past him, rely ten ters ahead.

“What could he possibly want, dressed like that and heading to the borderlands at this ti?” Chen Hai pondered with suspicion as he watched the figure’s retreating silhouette disappear into the distance.
