Chapter 117: Earning a Huge Pot

Chen Fei and the others walked up and found a transparent shard on the ground that was emitting a faint light.
“It’s a node fragment.” Ge Hongjie’s eyes lit up. He squatted down and carefully placed the fragment into the jade box.
“What is the use of the node fragments?”Chen Fei asked curiously.
“This is a treasure that can only be used by Aperture Tempering Realm experts.
If you give a fragment to the sect, the sect will give you 5,000 contribution points.”
Zhang Fangqiong was also full of smiles. She turned to look at Chen Fei and felt that the more she looked at him, the more pleasing he was to the eye. Chen Fei was simply a lucky star. Not only did he find a true node so quickly, but he also had a node fragment.
Not every node fragment would appear when a real node was broken. It was a matter of luck.
I’ve made a big profit, hahaha!” Mu Langtao laughed out loud. Five thousand contribution points one person could get more than a thousand points, which was already comparable to the contribution points given by the sect for this mission.
Chen Fei nodded in realization. The feeling that this fragment gave Chen Fei was similar to an ordinary piece of glass. It turned out that it could only be used at the Aperture Tempering realm. Perhaps it was the same principle as a spirit tool.
“Shall we continue?” Chen Fei turned around and asked.
“Of course, if you’re not tired, we’re not tired!” Mu Langtao nodded continuously.
“It mainly depends on whether you want to rest or not. We didn’t do anything just now,” Ge Hongjie said with a smile. Zhang Fangqiong was also full of smiles.
“Alright, let’s continue!”
Chen Fei didn’t feel tired after his mental strength was recovered by Vital Energy. In the next moment, the jade pendant was activated. In his perception, the thin lines in the entire Strange Wind Realm faintly appeared again.
“This way!”
Chen Fei identified the direction and walked forward. Ge Hongjie and the other two followed behind carefully, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
This time, the distance was a little further. Chen Fei stopped a few times midway to activate the jade pendant to confirm the direction.
They walked and stopped, and even the black dot in their perception changed its position once. Finally, Chen Fei and the others arrived at a courtyard.
Chen Fei sensed the black dot in the courtyard and frowned slightly. Compared to the first black spot, there were no black lines floating around this black spot. It was just a lonely black spot.
“What’s wrong?” Ge Hongjie asked when he saw the hesitation on Chen’s face.
“That node gave me a different feeling from the one just now,” Chen Fei thought for a moment and said.
“Is there a big difference?” Zhang Fangqiong asked.
“It’s not very big, but it’s indeed different. So, I’m wondering if this node is fake.”
According to Chen Fei’s understanding, those black lines might be the meridians of the evil realm’s vitality circulation. Therefore, the real nodes should be connected to those black lines.
Those without black lines could naturally be fake nodes.
“Is it fake? We can also fight.”
Ge Hongjie pondered for a moment. If his judgment was false, he could just stand further away. As long as he wasn’t hurt by the howls, it wasn’t difficult to defeat a freshly released evil.
If he was lucky enough, he might even get an evil pearl like yesterday.
Now that Chen Fei could refine pills, the value of the evil pearl had soared. If it was refined into pills in time, the effect would only be slightly inferior to Vital Energy. It was completely worth the risk.
“Where is the node?” Zhang Fangqiong asked.
“A foot away from the right corner of the wooden shelf.” Chen Fei pointed ahead.
“Then all of us will stand here.”
Zhang Fangqiong pulled the few of them to a distance and continued, “Junior Brother Chen, if the thing that appears later is evil, you control it first. We’ll take care of the rest.”
Good!” Chen Fci nodded.
Mu Langtao opened his mouth. Why did he feel that his role had been infinitely reduced? It was as if he was the only one left to cheer.
He pulled the bow and shot the arrow in one go. The arrow crashed into the node, and a ripple spread out from the node, forming a layer of ripples in the air.
This was the mental attack brought about by the shattering of the fake node.
Chen Fei and the other three felt their hearts sink as if a great disaster was about to befall them. However, other than that, there were no other substantial injuries.
A shadow appeared beside the node. Before he could see his surroundings clearly, his head was suddenly hit, and a sharp pain filled his body and mind.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Seven or eight arrows stabbed into shadow’s head. Before the evil could make a sound, its head was almost completely dissolved.
Ge Hongjie and Zhang Fangqiong appeared next to the shadow. One of them lifted its head while the other cut off all of the evil’s limbs.
Chen Fei’s arrows followed closely behind, nailing the evil’s limbs to the ground. Mu Langtao’s movement technique was slightly slower, but he finally arrived. Together with Zhang Fangqiong, they directly destroyed the evil’s torso.
In the blink of an eye, the evil creature did not even struggle before it was turned into ashes. An evil pearl lay quietly on the ground, proving that an evil had appeared.
“How refreshing!”
Mu Langtao laughed loudly. He had finally joined the battle without any danger.
Chen Fei put down his bow and arrow. This evil was indeed not difficult to kill. As long as he was not injured by the howl at the beginning, the advantage would easily reach the martial artist’s side.
However, most of the time, the disciples of the sect wanted to take a gamble.
The search for a node depended on luck. It was not easy to find a node, but you had to let them break the node from afar.
If it was a fake node, it was nothing. However, if it were a true node, they would not have been in time to absorb the Vital Energy in time. They were willing to take risks in this bizarre realm for the sake of Vital Energy.
Therefore, this was a dilemma. The only thing was that, like Chen Fei and the others yesterday, someone had to retreat to the rear first as a support to avoid the outcome of being completely wiped out.
If they really encountered a node, they didn’t know how the people who were taking turns to support them would feel.
“So as long as you’re fast enough, there will be evil pearls?” Chen Fei walked forward and watched Ge Hongjie put away the evil pearl.
Not necessarily, but that’s the case most of the time.” Zhang Fangqiong had a smile on her face. This battle was too easy. Not only did she not suffer any losses, but she also obtained a precious evil pearl.
Junior Brother Chen, I’ll give you all of this Suspending Spirit Liquid.” Ge Hongjie passed the remaining amount of the Suspending Spirit Liquid to Chen Fei. He had nothing to say after the ability Chen Fei had shown.
Junior Brother Chen, please,” Mu Langtao said with a smile. If this situation could continue, Mu Langtao felt that there shouldn’t be any problems for him to break through to the Visceral Tempering realm.
The future was bright!
Chen Fei looked at the Suspending Spirit Liquid in his hand and drank most of it, leaving only a little for the others to use in case they needed it.
“Then let’s continue.”
Chen Fei looked at the excited expressions of Ge Hongjie and the other two.
There was no need to rest anymore. Chen Fei still had half of his mental strength left, so he could probably search for it again. If he encountered a true node, he might still be able to continue searching.
The jade pendant was activated. Chen Fei sensed the surrounding environment. This time, his target was the location where the thin line appeared.
“Let’s go!”
Chen Fei opened his eyes and walked out of the courtyard.
After some time, Chen Fei and the others stood in the alley. Chen Fei thrust his sword forward.
Ge Hongjie and the other two were a little nervous. The node was right in front of them, and this was the first time they were so close to the node. However, if this node was real, then the Vital Energy they could absorb would be maximized.
Crack!
The sound of something being torn apart rang out. In the next moment, surging Vital Energy instantly surged out. This time, the four of them were fully prepared. As soon as Vital Energy appeared, their Origin Connection Technique began to circulate wildly.
Chen Fei was the closest, so he absorbed the most Vital Energy.
At this moment, the Vital Energy surged into his body, and Chen Fei had the illusion that he was about to explode. Fortunately, it was just an illusion. Whether it was his meridians, bones, flesh, or blood, they all resisted the erosion of the Vital Energy.
One breath of time passed in a flash, but the four of them stood in place for a long time without moving. It was not until a moment later that the four of them opened their eyes one after another, and everyone’s face was filled with uncontrollable smiles.
There was too much Vital Energy. This effect was at least more than half of the original point from the first time.
Zhang Fangqiong’s face was flushed red, and her body went limp. This was a sign that she had absorbed too much vitality at once, and her body was somewhat burdened. But if she could choose, Zhang Fangqiong hoped that this kind of thing would happen a few more times.
Ge Hongjie clenched his fist. He could feel that his injured acupoints and mental strength were slowly coming back to life.
As long as this situation continued for a dozen more times, the internal injuries left behind by the fruitless breakthrough would be completely healed.
With the experience of his first breakthrough, even though it was a failure, Ge Hongjie’s confidence increased by at least 20%.
Thinking about the Aperture Tempering realm, Ge Hongjie’s heart burned. This was the true difference between the Body Tempering realm. Not only would his battle strength increase significantly, but his lifespan would also be much longer than ordinary martial artists.
This was the first step to longevity.
Mu Langtao felt that his bottleneck in the Visceral Tempering realm seemed to have loosened. He didn’t even need to use his Vital Energy to cleanse himself. Mu Langtao was confident that he could go back and cultivate for a few months before breaking through to the Visceral Tempering realm.
Coming to the Strange Wind Realm this time and meeting Chen Fei was simply a heaven-sent opportunity.
Chen Fei looked at his face panel, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He was getting closer and closer to the Marrow Tempering realm. The inner strength converted from his Vital Energy was far more powerful than what the Receival Bead could absorb.
As for the mental energy that was almost completely depleted, it had recovered quite a bit due to this wave of Vital Energy. He could completely find it again.
“Let’s continue!
Chen Fei turned his head and glanced at Ge Hongjie and the others as he said with a smile.
“Good!” Ge Hongjie and the others looked at each other, their faces filled with joy.
Zhang Fangqiong looked at Chen Fei, and her eyes sparkled. The more she looked at Chen Fei, the more she felt that Chen Fei was good-looking. Most importantly, he was so capable. Thinking of this, Zhang Fangqiong blushed slightly and quickly lowered her head.
Six hours later, Chen Fei and the others returned to the camp. Everyone’s faces were flushed.
This was an external manifestation of the body not being able to absorb too much Vital Energy.
That’s right, they had absorbed too much Vital Energy. In the past six hours, Chen Fei and the others had rested twice in the middle and spent the rest of the time searching for the node.
Chen Fei found two more true nodes and absorbed a lot of Vital Energy. At the same time, he also found two fake nodes, and the evil within was easily killed. However, there was only one evil pearl.
As for the fragment of the node, it did not appear. This thing really depended on luck..
