Chapter 157: Unable to Do Anything

“Junior Brother, are we going?” Guo Linshan raised his head and looked at Chen Fei. Chen Fei’s current battle prowess had long surpassed his. Going to such a dangerous place, he naturally had to discuss it properly.
“We can go and take a look,” Chen Fei replied.
Chen Fei pondered for a moment. No Body Tempering realm warrior would think too much of a mystical ingredient like the Dreamlike Lotus, which could help with the mental energy. Even Aperture Tempering realm warriors wouldn’t miss such a mystical ingredient.
Chen Fei understood that after opening an aperture point, he would advance to the Aperture Tempering realm. However, the Aperture Tempering realm did not end with just cultivating one aperture point.
If he wanted to improve his martial arts cultivation, he needed to dig out more apertures to nourish his cultivation. This made the requirements for his mental strength very high.
Thus, in the Aperture Tempering realm, mental strength was the key. This realm was called the Aperture Tempering realm because, after the Body Tempering realm, aperture tempering was the key.
Now that Guo Linshan had recovered from his injuries, Chen Fei and he naturally had to go out and explore. Not to mention the mystical ingredients, they also needed to obtain a sufficient number of jade tokens.
“Alright, then let’s go!”
Guo Linshan was eager to try. If he had the chance to get the Dreamlike Lotus, not to mention the lotus leaves, even a single lotus seed would greatly benefit his core soul energy.
Chen Fei and Guo Linshan simply packed up, and according to the induction of the jade token, they headed towards the location of the pool.
At the pond.
“The purpose of everyone’s gathering here is very clear. It’s that Dreamlike Lotus. However, there is a beast under the pond. If we don’t kill that beast, we won’t be able to get the Dreamlike Lotus.”
Jiao Xiangyuan looked at the twenty-odd people present. Most of them were in the Visceral Tempering realm, and only a small portion were in the Marrow Tempering realm. Among these people in the Visceral Tempering realm, there were a total of three people at the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm, including himself.
“What are you trying to say? You can say it directly,” Nie Quan scratched his head and said impatiently. Most of the Big Dipper Tower’s disciples were impatient, and Nie Quan was one of them.
“As long as the method is suitable, everything can be discussed. If you have any suggestions, you can tell me,” Chai Xianjun grabbed the spear in his hand and said expressionlessly.
“The demonic beast under the pond is extremely fast. In the pond, no matter how many of us there are, we can’t beat it. We have to drag it to the shore and combine our strength to destroy it,” Jiao Xiangyuan said, not caring about their attitude and directly telling them his plan. Choosing a battlefield that was advantageous to oneself was a necessary choice in battle.
“I’ve seen the demonic beast’s attack technique before. That afterimage should be its tongue. I can stand at the front later. When it attacks, 1 can wrap around its tongue and drag it up.”
Nie Quan pondered for a moment before looking at Jiao Xiangyuan and Chai Xianjun. “But it’s dangerous for me to do that. When the Dreamlike Lotus is distributed, I need to take thirty percent by myself!”
ii
No!” Jiao Xiangyuan and Chai Xianjun immediately refused. There were so many people here. If Nie Quan took 30% of the profits, what would the others get?
“I’ll give you ten percent at most, and that’s because you’re the one leading the charge. If you don’t agree, I can let my sect’s senior and junior brothers go.” After Jiao Xiangyuan finished speaking, a person walked out from behind him.
A steady and fierce aura assaulted his face. Although he had not reached the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm, no one dared to underestimate this person.
Nie Quan looked at the newcomer and frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded his head unwillingly. Ten percent was considered his bottom line, barely reaching the requirement.
“The Dreamlike Lotus can only be obtained by those who contribute. When the time comes, don’t let me see anyone slack off. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless when the distribution is done,” Jiao Xiangyuan said in a low voice.
“What should I say if someone else joins us later?” Chai Xianjun sensed that some people were still gathering over.
“We’ll see when the time comes.” Jiao Xiangyuan thought for a moment and said ambiguously.
Those who were strong and contributed would naturally get some. If one’s strength were insufficient, then there would naturally be nothing to share.
Jiao Xiangyuan didn’t say this out loud, but everyone present understood.
In the mystic realm, the strong preyed on the weak. Whether or not to give you something completely depended on your strength. If he could dominate the entire arena and monopolize the Dreamlike Lotus, no one else would dare to say anything.
Ten miles away.
The two of them were carefully hurrying on their way when Chen Fei suddenly stopped. The Thousand Origin Technique vibrated slightly, indicating that there were other dangers in the surroundings.
“What’s wrong?” When Guo Linshan saw Chen Fei’s actions, he quickly stopped and looked around cautiously.
Chen Fei took out an arrow. His ears trembled slightly. The next moment, the arrow turned into a stream of light and disappeared from Chen Fei’s hand.
“Bang!”
With an explosion, a tree crown was blasted through by an arrow. A figure appeared from within, looking at Chen Fei with some surprise. That arrow just now had almost directly injured him.
It was simply inconceivable that a Marrow Tempering realm martial artist possessed such archery skills.
“Don’t misunderstand,” Fu Zhaoxing raised his hands slightly, indicating that he had no ill intentions. There was a warm smile on his face. Looking at this smile, it was as if it was a spring breeze, and the hostility in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.
“You can actually hide the fluctuations of the jade token,” Guo Linshan looked at Fu Zhaoxing in surprise. After being shot by Chen Fei, the fluctuation of the jade token on Fu Zhaoxing’s body began to appear.
Chen Fei also looked at Fu Zhaoxing with some surprise. It was estimated that in order to hide the fluctuation of the jade token, Fu Zhaoxing’s body technique had a little flaw, which was discovered by Chen Fei.
If it wasn’t for the jade token, Fu Zhaoxing’s figure would probably be able to hide flawlessly. This made Chen Fei think of Qu Jintai he had met before. The other party was also skilled in this kind of movement technique.
“You’re overpraising me,” Fu Zhaoxing humbly waved his hand, looked at Chen Fei, and said, “The two of you seem to have extraordinary strength. Do you want to travel together? This mystic realm was extremely dangerous. Only by supporting each other could they survive the following time.”
“When did you become so insincere when you invited people to come with you? There are still people hiding in the dark who haven’t come out yet!”
Chen Fei grabbed Guo Linshan’s arm, and his body swayed as he disappeared from the spot.
Fu Zhaoxing’s expression changed slightly. When he realized that Chen Fei and the other man were already dozens of meters away, his expression turned gloomy. The method that he had tried before was actually ineffective.
In just a little more time, they would be able to complete the encirclement. It was a pity that they had lost the two jade tokens.
“Senior Brother Fu!
A few figures suddenly appeared on the surrounding treetops. Although they saw people at this moment, if they closed their eyes, they would realize that these people did not emit any aura.
“Those two are very cautious.” someone whispered.
“Senior Brother Fu, that’s the person who injured me!” Qu Jintai said excitedly. He had been hiding in the dark just now. When he saw Chen Fei come, Qu Jintai was so excited that his entire body was trembling.
After being scared out of his wits by Chen Fei last time, Ju Jintai hid in the dense forest for a full six hours before finally leaving. During those six hours, Qu Jintai was constantly on tenterhooks, afraid that Chen Fei would suddenly appear.
Now that he thought about it, Qu Jintai knew that he had been completely frightened by Chen Fei, almost to the point of becoming a mental barrier.
When he saw Chen Fei earlier, he thought of his five senior brothers. If they could complete the encirclement, there was a chance that they could forcefully keep Chen Fei and the other. In the end, it had only started for a while when Chen Fei immediately sensed that something was wrong and left.
“Pa!”
Fu Zhaoxing appeared in front of Qu Jintai and slapped him on the cheek. Qu Jintai fell from the treetops and smashed heavily into the ground.
Qu Jintai’s left cheek swelled up. He raised his head and looked at Fu Zhaoxing, his eyes filled with disbelief. He could not understand why Fu Zhaoxing would hit him.
“Have you forgotten the essence of the Wind Phantom Technique? Your cultivation is the lowest, yet you still dare to have such intense emotional fluctuations. If it wasn’t for you, that person wouldn’t have noticed the abnormality!”
Fu Zhaoxing shouted sternly, causing Ju Jintai to shrink back involuntarily. After seeing Chen Fei, Qu Jintai was indeed overly excited. However, he never thought that Chen Fei would leave because of him.
“If you do this again, you can explore this mystic realm alone. Don’t follow us anymore!”
Fu Zhaoxing looked at Qu Jintai coldly and said, “You can’t do anything but spoil things!”
A mile away, Chen Fei noticed that Fu Zhaoxing and the others did not chase after him, so he stopped.
“Was there an ambush just now?” Guo Linshan asked incredulously. He hadn’t noticed anything unusual just now.
In other words, if Guo Linshan had encountered such a situation alone, he would have been surrounded. Moreover, the situation was even more tragic than the last time. It was not a double, but an additional one.
“Their ability to hide is very strong. However, when they are about to attack, they will definitely reveal their aura.”
Chen Fei explained with a smile when he saw Guo Linshan’s expression.
If they wanted to hide their strength, they would not have any aura when they attacked. Fu Zhaoxing and the others did not even need to surround them. However, it was indeed very dangerous to encounter such a blockade with a small number of people.
Guo Linshan nodded. He did not expect that he had unknowingly escaped another life-and-death crisis.
Guo Linshan recalled the method of exploring the mystic realm recorded by his predecessors. Alternatively, they could learn to stick together and use the strength of a group to resist danger.
Both had their pros and cons. After all, no matter how strong one was, they were only at the peak of the Visceral Tempering Realm. It was still dangerous to encounter a few more Visceral Tempering Realm experts. The advantage was that everything he obtained belonged to him.
It was very safe to form a group, but the things obtained belonged to the group. In the end, there would probably be very few things that could be distributed to you.
Guo Linshan glanced at Chen Fei. His junior brother, who had only entered the sect at the Bone Tempering realm, had grown to such a level. Because Chen Fei was around, they could deal with most situations.
Back then, Guo Linshan had invited Chen Fei to the mystic realm only to allow his cultivation to advance further. Unexpectedly, Chen Fei had actually become his most able help. It was really unpredictable.
Chen Fei did not know what Guo Linshan was thinking. The two of them went around Fu Zhaoxing’s position and continued to rush to the pool. Fifteen minutes later, Chen Fei and the other man finally arrived at the pool. There was already an intense battle going on here.
By the pond, Nie Quan was grabbing onto a huge tongue and pulling it up with all his might.
Wisps of green gas continuously emitted from the tongue, and Nie Quan’s body emitted a series of corrosive sounds. Fortunately, Nie Quan used his inner strength to block them..
