Chapter 129: If He Continues, He Will Be Stronger

This kind of mission was indeed very difficult. After all, the Eternal Floating Pill had almost brought out the medicinal properties of ordinary medicinal ingredients to the limit. To increase the efficacy of the pill, one could only do so by increasing the age, just like how Chen Fei had used the evil pearl to refine pills.
However, it wasn’t that difficult to solve. This was because no pill refiners had gone to this area to study before. They only needed to follow the pill formula and be familiar with refining pills.
This kind of new pill recipe was somewhat taxing and unrewarding. Perhaps only a behemoth like the Alliance could attract many pill refiners to participate.
“The reward is very good. It’s an Origin Awakening Pill!” Chi Defeng said excitedly.
“Origin Awakening Pill?”
Chen Fei felt as if he had heard the name of this medicinal pill somewhere before. After trying hard to recall for a moment, Chen Fei’s eyes could not help but widen slightly.
“You remember? It is exactly that pill. As expected of the Alchemist Alliance, the way they do things is truly different.” Chi Defeng laughed softly.
Chen Fei nodded his head and agreed with this statement. It was only because the Origin Awakening Pill had this value.
The so-called Origin Awakening Pill was actually a kind of healing sacred medicine. How sacred was it? Even if an ordinary person died, as long as the time did not exceed fifteen minutes, they could be saved with the Origin Awakening Pill.
It was as if he had been resurrected.
Of course, this kind of medicinal pill would not be used on ordinary people. It was more targeted at martial artists.
In the Aperture Tempering realm, even if your dantian was destroyed, one Origin Awakening Pill could restore it and allow you to cultivate again. Other internal injuries were naturally not a problem.
For example, Ge Hongjie’s previous failure to break through had damaged his acupoints and mental strength. One Origin Awakening Pill could heal those injuries and allow him to try to break through again.
The Origin Awakening Pill was not only useful for martial artists below the Aperture Tempering realm. Even if the effect was much weaker, it could still heal most injuries, especially injuries to the aperture points and mental strength.
Chen Fei had heard of the name of this pill before because Guo Linshan had told him that this pill was refined from the fruit of the spiritual tree of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and many other spiritual ingredients.
This pill could heal Feng Xiupu’s injuries from back then. This was because Feng Xiupu’s mental energy and aperture acupoints had been damaged, causing his cultivation level to drop to the Visceral Tempering realm.
Thus, this Origin Awakening Pill had a great chance of healing Feng Xiupu’s injuries and allowing him to reach the Aperture Tempering Realm.
Guo Linshan’s wish had always been to find such a pill for Feng Xiupu.
However, it was a pity that the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect rarely provided the Origin Awakening Pill to outsiders. There were a few times when some Aperture Tempering realm experts were able to get their hands on one, and they owed the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect a huge favor.
Primordial Sword Sect didn’t have such a pill. Even if they did, it would have been consumed by someone else, and there would’ve been none left. Feng Xiupu naturally didn’t have the chance.
“Is there a deadline for this mission?” Chen Fei suddenly asked.
No, I specifically asked. This is a long-term mission. Only when the pill formula provided meets the requirements will they withdraw this mission.” Chi Defeng shook his head.
“Alright, I understand.”
Chen Fei nodded and remembered this matter in his heart.
Yes, Chen Fei wanted to accept this mission and wanted to obtain the Origin Awakening Pill. His goal was simple, it was for Feng Xiupu.
Feng Xiupu’s attitude towards Chen Fei made people speechless. Now that he had the chance to help Feng Xiupu recover his cultivation, Chen Fei naturally wanted to give it a try.
However, the time had not come yet. Chen Fei had to push the proficiency of the Flying Ascent Pill formula to perfection before he could deduce the variant of the Flying Ascent Pill.
After Chi Defeng left, Chen Fei instructed him to bring half of the herbs tomorrow.
Saving money was still one of the reasons, but Chen Fei’s more important thing was to quickly grind the pill formula of the Flying Ascent Pill to perfection.
In the afternoon, Chen Fei was cultivating the Origin Connection Technique. He was thinking about whether he should go to the Immortal Cloud City tomorrow and stay at the hot spring inn.
He didn’t have to stay in the hot spring all day. When the time came, he could go back to his rented courtyard to refine pills after he finished cultivating the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. This would save Chi Defeng the trouble of running around.
“Knock knock knock!”
There was a knock on the door. Chen Fei stopped his cultivation and opened the door in confusion. He realized that it was Guo Linshan.
“Senior Brother Guo, is there anything you need from me?” Chen Fei welcomed Guo Linshan into the house and poured him a cup of tea.
“There is one thing.”
Guo Linshan took a sip of tea, looked at Chen Fei, and said, “While you were in the Strange Wind Realm, I went to accept the first round of the legacy disciple assessment and passed.”
“Congratulations, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Chen Fei was stunned. Then, he couldn’t help but smile. He was genuinely happy for Guo Linshan.
It’s still too early to congratulate me. I’ve only passed the first round.” Guo Linshan waved his hand.
“There are several rounds of the legacy disciple assessment?” Chen Fei really didn’t understand this. After all, he was still some distance away.
“The first round tests one’s temperament.”
Guo Linshan nodded and said, “Actually, it’s a spiritual weapon in the sect. It can drag disciples into an illusion. If one’s temperament passes, it’s considered as passing the first round.”
Chen Fei nodded in realization. Guo Linshan made it sound easy, but Chen Fei knew that if it involved a true disciple, such an assessment would definitely not be easy.
“I originally wanted to settle down for a few months before going, but after a month, the second round of the legacy disciple assessment will come early. 1 have to prepare early,” Guo Linshan said in a deep voice.
“What is the second round of the assessment?” Chen Fei asked curiously.
“The second round of assessment is with the other three sects.”
Guo Linshan organized his words and said, “We share a mystic realm with Sunken Water Pavilion, the Big Dipper Tower, and the Long Rainbow Sect. This mystic realm opens once every few years to test the true disciples. Originally, the mystic realm was supposed to open half a year later, but it was suddenly brought forward.”
Mystic realm?
Chen Fei was stunned. There was actually a mystic realm that was jointly owned by the four sects, and it actually excluded the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.
That was not right. It was probably not that the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was excluded but that the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect did not care about this mystic realm at all. Otherwise, if it were really something good, with the temperament of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, the other four sects wouldn’t have anything to do with it.
“If you want to become a true disciple of the sect, the first stage of the temperament test is to obtain enough things in this mystic realm. I didn’t dare to let you go before, but now that you’ve broken through to the Marrow Tempering realm, your movement technique will definitely improve. In this mystic realm, you might be able to achieve something,” Guo Linshan said in a deep voice.
“Is there anything special about this mystic realm?” Chen Fei asked in a low voice. If it wasn’t for the fact that there were enough benefits, Guo Linshan probably wouldn’t have thought of dragging Chen Fei along.
“Mystical ingredients, all kinds of precious mystical ingredients, and those aged medicinal herbs. More importantly, the mystic realm had extremely dense Vital Energy. Cultivating inside would yield twice the result with half the effort.”
Guo Linshan looked at Chen Fei and said gravely, “The most important thing is that this mystic realm opens every few years. If you want to become a legacy disciple, you have to make a difference in it. Junior brother, if you perform well enough in the mystic realm, the sect might let you pass this test. When the time comes, you can cultivate the Origin Connection Technique to the fifth level and pass the first level. Then, you can accept the inheritance of a true disciple in the Marrow Tempering realm!”
Chen Fei’s heart skipped a beat. This sounded really tempting.
When one’s cultivation reached the Marrow Tempering realm, the Soul Chasing Step would not be unable to be used at full force because of Chen Fei’s cultivation. In other words, Chen Fei’s current movement technique was probably an outstanding existence even in the Visceral Tempering realm.
If he was careful, Chen Fei might really have a chance to make a difference in this mystic realm.
Moreover, Guo Linshan had mentioned that the mystic realm would open every few years, and Chen Fei would probably reach the Visceral Tempering realm in a year. At that time, he would probably have to wait for several years before he could receive the true inheritance.
To other disciples, tempering themselves for a few years was nothing. However, Chen Fei had the opportunity to cultivate faster and stronger. Why did he have to wait for several years?
“I’m not a true inheritance seed, can I enter the mystic realm?”Chen Fei whispered.
“Sure. People like me are allowed to bring along a helper who is not at the
Visceral Tempering realm. It’s the same for other sects.”
Guo Linshan looked at Chen Fei with a burning gaze. There were countless benefits in the mystic realm, and the strongest martial artist was only at the Visceral Tempering realm. As long as he was not surrounded by others, even if he just went in to hide and cultivate, it was still a very good place.
Chen Fei’s movement technique was good, and he also had the Starry Night Sword and Thorn Sword. There was no problem for him to protect himself.
This was the reason why Guo Linshan had come to find Chen Fei. In Guo Linshan’s opinion, the mystic realm was far safer than the Strange Wind Realm. As long as he didn’t take any risks and didn’t have any desires, he was very safe.
Of course, if Chen Fei was still in the Bone Tempering realm, Guo Linshan would not bring him along. The Bone Tempering realm was still too low. Fortunately, Chen Fei’s cultivation had already broken through.
“Does Master agree?” Chen Fei asked.
“Before 1 came, I had already looked for Master. Master asked you to make your own decision,” Guo Linshan said with a smile.
“Alright, as long as you don’t mind bringing me, I’ll go to this mystic realm.” Chen Fei couldn’t help but laugh.
Guo Linshan grinned and patted Chen Fei’s shoulder. After chatting for a while, Guo Linshan left Chen Fei’s room.
Chen Fei stood on the spot and pondered.
There wouldn’t be any Aperture Tempering realm martial artists in this mystic realm, but there were many Visceral Tempering realm martial artists and demon beasts. When the time came, it would be inevitable for them to fight.
With Chen Fei’s current strength, if he wanted to improve in a short period of time, the Dragon Suppressing Elephant was the best choice. As for his swordsmanship, the Thorn Sword was more than enough.
In terms of movement techniques, Chen Fei planned to ask Feng Xiupu if he had any possibility of improving.
The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.
“That Chen Fei returned safely from the Strange Wind Realm? His cultivation has even broken through to the Marrow Tempering Realm?”
Yu Yisheng raised his eyebrows slightly. He and Shen Dingyan were fellow disciples of the same peak, and they often interacted with each other. Shen Dingyan was a rude and unreasonable person, but he would not treat people he approved of like this. Hence, the two of them got along well.
Shen Dingyan’s death had slowly passed. They suspected that the Divine Flame Sect was behind it, but other than sweeping through a few of the Divine Flame Sect’s outposts, they did not find anything else.
Yu Yisheng naturally hatred Chen Fei, the person who indirectly caused Shen Dingyan’s death. He had thought that Chen Fei would die in the Strange Wind Realm. He did not expect to return safely and even breakthrough in his cultivation.
“Since he has reached the Marrow tempering realm, help me issue a challenge to him. I want to spar with him!” Yu Yisheng instructed the worker.
“Yes, Young Master!” The errand boy said in a low voice and retreated carefully.
Two hours later, a letter of challenge was placed in front of Chen Fei.
“Sparring? I’m not taking it. I’ll return it.”
Chen Fei glanced at the empty space and rejected it immediately. He then said,
“If the other party insists, just say that I admit defeat.. He is stronger!”
