Chapter 62 – Goodbye Li Chaofeng, Strength Increase One After Another (3 Shifts Requested)
“Whoosh!”
Below a tall mountain peak, Chen Fan’s figure flashed and he landed down from the blood dragon scroll.
According to the small map in his mind, the Yuan Beast that the Wish-granting Bead had guided him to was in this neighborhood.
Chen Fan carefully sensed it.
Unfortunately, Yuan Beasts, like Blood Beasts, were able to hide in the endless blood mist.
It was that his mental power was a bit stronger than that of a martial artist of the same level, and he failed to notice any difference.
“Looks like we can only force you out!”
Chen Fan took out his Xuan Iron Heavy Sword and followed the direction guided by the small map in his mind and instantly made a chop.
“Brush!”
A lavender sword light that stretched for seven or eight meters whistled and flew out from the sword, chopping straight towards a spot in front of him.
“Roar!”
As this sword light swept past, a beast half a meter tall, shaped like a blood deer, roared and drilled out of the blood mist.
As soon as it came out, its body shook and almost didn’t stand still, as if the sword that Chen Fan had just used had brought it a great impact.
“Is this a Yuan Beast?”
Chen Fan looked at the Yuan Beast that appeared and came out, and with a movement of his figure, he arrived in front of it.
“Snort!”
In the next instant, accompanied by a ‘snort’ sound of a sharp blade piercing into flesh and blood, a flash of sword light in his hand appeared in the body of this Yuan Beast.
“Snap!”
At the same time, in his other hand, he held the Yuan Stone and quickly placed it on the Yuan Beast’s body.
“Buzz!”
After the Yuan Stone landed on the Yuan Beast’s body, it buzzed and lit up with a bit of crystalline light, as if there were countless white points of light, scrambling to be the first to rush into the Yuan Stone.
In just a few breaths of time, the Yuan Stone in his hand became warm and moist like jade.
Then accompanied by a breeze, the corpse of the Yuan Beast that had just been in front of his eyes, disappeared into thin air.
……
Stone House.
Chen Fan was sitting quietly.
The Yuan Crystal that had just arrived was placed in his palm.
As he revolved the Purple Extreme Divine Skill, the power in the Yuan Crystal instantly began to surge into his body one by one.
“It really is a good treasure!”
After half a ring, Chen Fan ended his cultivation.
Essence flashed in his eyes.
An average early Innate martial artist would waste some time in absorbing Yuan Crystals to cultivate, and would need roughly fifty Yuan Crystals to advance to the mid Innate stage.
But with his special martial body, he only needed thirty Yuan Crystals to make a breakthrough.
“I make a wish, and a small map will appear in my mind, which will be able to guide me to a masterless Yuan Crystal that can be quickly obtained by me without any danger.”
The next day, when Chen Fan finished his cultivation, he once again made his wish for the day.
Wishing like this was undoubtedly a waste.
But for him, in the middle of the Blood Abyss Mysterious Realm, he could raise his strength as much as possible, so that when he entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm, he would also be able to have more choices.
Moreover, if he raised his martial cultivation now, when he turned into an Immortal Cultivator, his cultivation would also be higher, and he would be able to make an impact in the future by harboring his spiritual roots.
……
“Brother Shi, how was the harvest today?”
A month later, Chen Fan finished his cultivation this day, so he walked out from the stone house and prepared to go to the drop point to see if there was any fine wine being served today.
As a result, he had just arrived at the side of the valley when he saw several people, Shi Tian, talking and laughing as they walked down from a blood dragon scroll.
“Not bad, good luck digging up a Yuan Stone.” Seeing Chen Fan, Shi Kai was slightly stunned and spoke without moving.
In fact they had a burst of luck today, digging up a Yuanstone nest with twenty-three Yuanstones, although it was a few people digging together at that time, but if they were to distribute it, each person would be able to share at least four or five Yuanstones.
However, now that Chen Fan was no longer a member of their squad, of course he would not tell Chen Fan.
“Another Yuan Stone? Brother Shi you are so lucky?”
Chen Fan was surprised.
“It’s just luck.”
Shi Kai waved his hand.
Afterward, he said a few more words to Chen Fan, and then the White Light several people left.
“I really didn’t expect that after just one experience with the blood beast, Chen Fan would give up.”
After walking away, Bai Zhiguang sighed and said.
Ever since the last encounter with that Late Innate Blood Beast, Chen Fan had never teamed up with them again.
And they also knew from some people that when Chen Fan went out on weekdays, a lot of the time he would come back on the Blood Dragon Scroll in less than even one incense burner.
“Alright, stop talking.”
Shi Kai shook his head.
He had never felt that he had done anything wrong in that incident a month ago.
But the fact that a newcomer like Chen Fan, who had just entered the Blood Abyss Mystic Realm, was practically trapped in the valley and didn’t dare to go out just because of this incident, also made his heart a little complicated.
……
“There really is wine.”
Chen Fan arrived at the resource drop point.
He looked around and realized that there was actually real alcohol available today.
He actually wasn’t too much of a good drinker.
It was just that right now, he spent most of his time every day, on cultivation.
Other than that, it was going out every two days.
Either digging for Yuan stones or slaying Blood Beast Yuan Beasts.
Every time he went out, he would return after burning incense for at most one incense stick.
In this situation, other than drinking wine that would allow him to satisfy his appetite, he really couldn’t find anything interesting to do.
“Huh?”
Right at this moment, a figure stepped out from a nearby blood dragon scroll.
He looked around and his gaze finally landed on Chen Fan with a stunned expression.
“Hmm?”
Chen Fan had taken the wine from the drop point and was about to return.
However, he noticed the man first after he raised his head.
“Brother Li?”
Chen Fan opened his mouth in surprise.
This figure was none other than Li Chaofeng who had sent a demon snake to him on the Moon Reflecting Lake and had the favor of feeding him for almost three months.
“You are ……” Li Chaofeng racked his brain and could not think of Chen Fan’s name.
He had even forgotten what Chen Fan’s last name was.
After all, the Chen Fan of that day was just a passerby to him.
At that time, he only thought of Chen Fan as a passerby.
Most likely, in his own life, he would not have any interactions with Chen Fan.
However, he didn’t want to actually meet Chen Fan today, on this kind of occasion.
“My name is Chen Fan.”
Chen Fan introduced himself once again.
This was how he had given his name when he first met Li Chaofeng.
“I’m sorry, I really didn’t expect to actually see Brother Chen you here.”
Li Chaofeng even opened his mouth.
He vaguely remembered that when he first met Chen Fan on the Moon Reflecting Lake, it seemed that Chen Fan had only just broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm.
How could he not figure out how Chen Fan had crossed the Houtian Realm and achieved Innate in such a short period of time and appeared here.
“Sorry, I have to go.”
Just before Li Chaofeng could open his mouth to inquire, his eyes caught a glimpse of a returning Blood Dragon Scroll in the distance, his face changed, and he hurriedly spoke with Chen Fan and quickly left.
Chen Fan frowned.
He stood in place and waited, and when that blood dragon scroll in the distance dissipated, he saw a line of people, walking out from the blood dragon scroll.
This line of people was none other than Sha Xingzhong and his group, whom he had a previous encounter with.
However, after these people walked out of the blood dragon scroll, their expressions were flat, and they did not look like they were furious and were looking for trouble.
Chen Fan glanced in the direction that Li Chaofeng had left and wondered what kind of conflict he had with Sha Xingzhong and the others.
……
“I make a wish that I will be able to gain the favor of a supreme fairy, and that she will respond to my requests, giving me the opportunity to have a soft meal.”
Chen Fan fetched the wine and returned.
He drank it while floating in his mind.
Such a wish, of course, he wouldn’t really wish for it.
Perhaps it would be possible in the future, but at the moment, he was mainly concerned with improving his strength.
It was just that there were times when he needed some fantasies.
……
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was four months after Chen Fan had arrived at the Blood Abyss Mystic Realm.
“It’s finally done!”
On this day, Chen Fan placed a Yuan Crystal that had just arrived in his hand.
After a bit of cultivation, his aura rose, and he finally went from the early innate stage, to the mid innate stage.
“The speed is a bit slow.”
“But when my external cultivation reaches the late innate stage, I won’t have to keep relying on wishing to find blood beasts and Yuan beasts.”
“In that case, the remaining time should be enough for me to break through to the Innate Perfection Realm.”
Chen Fan murmured in his heart.
After four consecutive months of drawing on the power of the blood crystals to cultivate, his external realm was not far from breaking through to the late innate stage.
“Dang!”
Suddenly, Chen Fan had only just finished his cultivation when a knock sounded outside his stone house.
“Brother Li? You would actually come back.”
Chen Fan got up and opened the door, realizing that the visitor was actually Li Chaofeng.
Since the last time they met, he and Li Chaofeng had become familiar with each other.
However, Li Chaofeng was really too hardworking.
When most martial artists went out every day, they stayed out for ten hours or so and then came back.
Li Chaofeng, however, often brought enough water and food and stayed out for ten days or so.
So during these months, the number of times the two had met could be said to be just a handful of times.
“It can’t be helped, coming in late and not putting up a fight, I can’t be as dashing as you.”
Li Chaofeng shook his head.
He had come in two years later than the others, and now that more than a year had passed, he hadn’t even scraped together half of the blood crystals, so he had to put up a fight.
While speaking, he shook something in his hand, “This time, when I came back coincidentally, I brought some wine over, drink some?”
“Just the thing!”
Chen Fan had a hint of a smile on his face.
“Brother Li, do you have a conflict with Sha Xingzhong and the others?”
While drinking, Chen Fan asked.
“Sort of, but it’s not a big problem, I’ll just avoid them a bit.”
Li Chaofeng said calmly.
“Just pay attention to yourself, if there’s something you can’t solve, you can look for me.”
Chen Fan took a sip of wine.
“Good.”
Li Chaofeng casually replied.
Looking for Chen Fan?
He and Chen Fan got along quite well.
But there was something to find Chen Fan or forget it.
A few months had passed, and there were quite a few people in the valley who knew Chen Fan.
Almost everyone knew that Chen Fan had encountered a Late Innate Blood Beast the day after he first came here.
He was then frightened by this blood beast.
Since then, Chen Fan would rarely leave the valley for more than half a pillar of incense even if he did.
……
In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.
On this day, Chen Fan placed a blood crystal in front of his body, and after running the Purple Extreme True Body Technique for a week, his aura rose with a boom.
Chen Fan opened his eyes.
Vaguely, a ray of essence burst out from his eyes.
“Late stage of external power innate!”
From this moment onwards, there weren’t many martial artists in the Blood Abyss Mysterious Realm who were stronger than him.
It could be said that the current him was finally among the strongest martial artists in the secret realm.
