Chapter 722: Chapter 715: Visit
Hua Qing and Huang Dongming, although heading in opposite directions, both moved with incredible speed.
In just the blink of an eye, their figures had vanished into the night, completely disappearing from sight.
It was not until then, within the dense canopy of the great tree, that the branches trembled slightly, and Chen Hai, dressed in black clothes and pants, erged and leaped down from the tree top.
The path to Cultivation, tension and relaxation, is the true way.
Previously, aside from his Cultivation, he enjoyed so entertainnt, taking out the Mongolian Skin Grassman and using the Seven-Day Curse Killing Technique to curse soone.
Unfortunately, after cursing Demon King Chili to death, he had not yet found a new target for his curses.
In the Heavenly Mansion mining area, the only person who extrely displeased him, Fang Xuan, had already been thoroughly devoured by him, bones and all.
Other powerhouses in the mining area had not intentionally troubled Chen Hai; he might have been sowhat dissatisfied with them, but not enough to use the Seven-Day Curse Killing Technique on them.
It was normal for the mining area to have hidden agents from the two major forces, the Demon Palace and Heavenly Mansion.
After inadvertently discovering that Hua Qing and Huang Dongming used this big tree as a base for secretly exchanging ssages, Chen Hai, curious, turned his entertainnt ti into strolling near this great tree.
After over half a year of such leisure activities, Chen Hai, even though he still couldn’t grasp the specifics of the code they used when exchanging ssages, had figured out roughly how often the two would contact each other.
Moreover, with such long-term cultivation, his Concealing Breath Technique had nearly reached the Perfect Realm.
Facing a Golden Immortal, unless Chen Hai made a move, or the opponent intentionally searched, the Concealing Breath Technique would shield him, and typical Golden Immortals would completely fail to detect any trace of him.
Of course, nothing is absolute, and among the Golden Immortals, there are definitely so who are exceptionally skilled at tracking. Against such individuals, whether Chen Hai’s Concealing Breath Technique could elude their senses was not certain!
Indeed, reaching such a level with the Concealing Breath Technique was quite impressive.
After all, given Chen Hai’s current power, the gap between Great Realms was imnse.
A re Concealing Breath Technique allowing him to evade detection by a Golden Immortal one Great Realm higher than him could be considered a Divine Skill without exaggeration.
“Speaking of which, I should be considered Hua Qing’s subordinate. I never expected him to be a hidden agent planted by the Demon Palace.”
“A rusty, half-person-tall pair of shears, could they possibly be a Spiritual Treasure left behind by a fallen mighty one?”
“This news is quite startling!”
“Unfortunately, even Hua Qing has yet to find the location where that item is stored.”
With a peculiar expression, Chen Hai, who had just leaped down from the tree, walked back to the courtyard where he resided, muttering to himself.
While ordinary tools hardly sparked his interest anymore, Spiritual Treasures were definitely not included in that category.
Especially a Spiritual Treasure that even the big shots from the Demon Palace were plotting to obtain; without thinking, it was clear it wouldn’t be simple.
“The second Divine Skill that I’ve comprehended from the profound mysteries in my mind, if it truly takes shape, perhaps I too could take a stab at that Spiritual Treasure…”
Unknowingly, Chen Hai had returned to the room he lived in within the courtyard.
Sitting cross-legged on the large wooden bed, recalling the information he had heard from Hua Qing and Huang Dongming, and pondering over the second Divine Skill he was comprehending, his heart blazed with fervor.
“Personal strength is the foundation, continue to Cultivate!” Eyes on the nose, nose in the heart, Chen Hai began to imrse himself.
The following days passed with remarkable peace.
Besides cultivating in peace and tranquility, he would always find ti to stroll a few laps near the big tree at the border between the Demon Palace and Heavenly Mansion during his leisure ti at midnight.
Unfortunately, though the contact between Hua Qing and Huang Dongming beca more frequent, the two did not continue to et face-to-face but communicated only by placing wooden blocks full of strange symbols in the hollow of the tree.
Those strange symbols were clearly a secret code they had set up.
Although they understood the anings represented by those secret codes on the wooden blocks, Chen Hai, upon obtaining the blocks, was completely baffled and couldn’t grasp the true anings of the strange symbols.
Chen Hai had no way around it, being a Little Heavenly Immortal facing a Golden Immortal across realms?
He knew already—it was absolutely impossible.
Since he couldn’t capture Hua Qing or Huang Dongming alive to force the anings of the secret codes from their mouths, even if he saw them exchanging ssages through those wooden blocks, Chen Hai could only watch helplessly.
“Bang bang bang…” Knocking sounds arose.
“Brother Chen, are you cultivating behind closed doors? Do you have so spare ti to chat together?” Imdiately following, Li Kuishan’s voice sounded outside the compartnt and entered Chen Hai’s ears.
During this broad daylight, Chen Hai naturally stayed in his room to cultivate and wouldn’t possibly go for a leisurely stroll at the border.
Hearing the sound outside the compartnt, he stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
“Brother Li, Brother Sun, weren’t you both always busy earning rits through tasks?”
“Why are you free today to co over here?”
At the door, it wasn’t just Li Kuishan; Sun Tu was also present, and besides the two of them, there were three other squad mbers following behind them.
While inviting the n in, Chen Hai wore a puzzled expression and tentatively asked.
“Don’t ntion it, with just this bit of strength we people have, earning so rits is really not easy.”
“Just last night, we infiltrated the mining area of the Demon Palace, hoping to ambush the Demon Palace patrol team. As a result, we didn’t earn any rits; we even lost two n.”
“Excluding you, Brother Chen, out of the nine remaining in our team, four have died in these past few months, nearly half our number gone.”
“It’s been more than half a year now, and among us, the less fortunate in terms of rits barely have a dozen points.”
“Not to speak of sharing anything, just the obligation to deliver the hundred rit points to Captain Wu; aside from Brother Sun and possibly eting the target, the other brothers simply can’t earn that much.”
Upon entering Chen Hai’s compartnt, everyone’s gaze uniformly converged on him.
Li Kuishan sighed lengthily, being the first to speak to Chen Hai about their issues.
No sooner had his words ended than Sun Tu, who was beside him, imdiately followed, saying, “We didn’t co over here for any other reason, Brother Chen; we just wanted to have a word with you.”
“We’re preparing to see Captain Wu to discuss the hundred rit points we owe him, to see if he could possibly make an exception, reducing our portion sowhat.”
“Captain Wu originally made this rule, but it was you, Brother Chen, who were the first to openly agree.”
“At that ti, we had no idea how hard it would be to earn rits; seeing that you seed quite content with Captain Wu’s suggestion, we all started to agree as well.”
“When we go to discuss with Captain Wu, we hope you can be unanimous with us.”
“Otherwise, when we ask Captain Wu to reduce the required rit point portion, and there you are raising both hands in agreent, what would that look like?”
Sun Tu’s expression grew a bit overcast as he sternly stared at Chen Hai, speaking slowly.
