Chapter 249: The Rain Tower
Chapter 249 – Rain Building
“Senior, are you that chief true disciple of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect?”
At night, by the campfire, Ruan Qiaojun asked in a low voice. Two days ago, Chen Fei had introduced his name, and that name, Ruan Qiaojun’s first reaction, was the Yuan Chen Sword Sect.
It had been two days since he left Xingfen City, and these two days together had given Ruan Qiaojun some understanding of Chen Fei’s character. Easygoing and bland, not overbearing.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he sensed a hint of fluctuation coming from Chen Fei’s body from time to time under close proximity, Ruan Qiao-jun would have wondered if Chen Fei was a strong practitioner of the Orifice Realm or not.
In Ruan Qiaojun’s impression, those who are strong in the Realm of Practicing the Aperture are not high above the others, and when they see them from afar on weekdays, they can feel the majestic oppressive force that makes people’s hearts balk at the thought of it.
“Hmm!”
Chen Fei nodded, not denying his identity, his eyes looking at the sparks that kept popping out of the firewood, sensing a threat that was faintly coming from all directions.
For two days, the journey was quiet, but Chen Fei knew that those who were chasing Ruan Qiaojun were about to appear.
There were specialties in the arts, even though Chen Fei had already removed the mind markings from Ruan Qiaojun’s body, those people were still able to find Ruan Qiaojun’s trail and followed him all the way.
After two days of laying out, Chen Fei was able to sense that those people were afraid that they would not be able to hold back any longer.
After all, it was only a few days’ journey to Qin Hai City, and if something else changed in the middle, it might not be possible to keep Ruan Qiaojun here, and then the mission would fail.
Those killers, the only thing they couldn’t tell today was what kind of strength Chen Fei, who had suddenly appeared, actually had. Time was too short, and even if these killers’ intelligence was great, they would not be able to find out Chen Fei’s identity at once.
If they couldn’t find out his identity, they would naturally have no way of knowing his strength, which was one of the reasons why those killers had been slow to make a move.
“Brother Chen, here!”
Chu Lan walked softly, her face slightly reddened by the firelight, and under the moonlight, she was delicate and soft. Chu Lan handed over the warmed wine to Chen Fei’s hands, and went to prepare other food without stopping.
“Many thanks!”
Chen Fei received the wine pot and laughed softly, tilting his head back and pouring the liquor into his mouth, sweet and mellow. Compared to the dregs of the liquor when he was in the merchant caravan, the liquor prepared on the road this time was undoubtedly much superior.
Chu Wennian at the side of the drink, eyes from time to time to look around, eyes full of vigilance.
Although there is already a strong person like Chen Fei in the team, Chu Wennian still didn’t relax, always doing his part.
“Senior’s name has recently spread to several cities around Immortal Cloud City. If others were to know that senior has now broken through to the Realm of Practicing Aperture, I’m afraid that it would cause another frenzy!” Ruan Qiaojun said with full of reverence.
When Chen Fei had hit the second position of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s True Successor, his reputation had already shaken a hundred miles, and he had even triggered a wave of worshippers of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect.
Ruan Qiaojun was a disciple of another sect, and when he was in Immortal Cloud City, his first choice was the Sinking Water Pavilion, but it was a pity that Ruan Qiaojun wasn’t looked upon by the Sinking Water Pavilion.
Ruan Qiaojun also had plans to go to Yuan Chen Sword Faction. But the Yuan Chen Sword Sect paid money to become an outer disciple, giving the impression that it was more or less a large martial arts center.
In the end, Ruan Qiaojun hesitated and went to another sect.
If Ruan Qiaojun was also a Yuan Chen Sword Sect disciple, nowadays there was no need to be so raw, but unfortunately, this kind of thing, no one could have predicted.
After all, who would have thought that the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, which had been in decline for a long time, would be able to produce a disciple like Chen Fei, who was completely no worse than the true disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, and had even broken through to become a strong practitioner of the Orifices Realm today.
The difference between practicing the orifices and practicing the organs, the difference of one word, a thousand differences.
Chen Fei smiled faintly, breaking through to the Realm of Practicing the Orifices was naturally gratifying, but in the past few days, Chen Fei had calmed down. In Chen Fei’s opinion, the Orifices Practicing Realm was ultimately just a point on the path of martial arts.
There were still very many things that Chen Fei had to do next, and entering the Orifice Practicing Realm for the first time was not yet worth Chen Fei’s complacency.
Half an hour later, several people ate dry food and began to rest with their eyes closed one after another. All of them were martial artists, and at a special time, none of them were too preoccupied, and they could deal with the night by leaning in.
Chen Fei closed his eyes and plopped his knees, his mind power flowed around, the Heavy Elemental Sword Technique slowly flowed in his body, his orifices vibrated, and strands of Yuan Qi poured into them, becoming part of his cultivation.
To practice the Orifice Realm was to continuously open up an orifice. And to open up the orifices, in addition to the Yuan Qi to fill up each orifice, the growth of the mind power was also the most important thing.
Only if one’s mind power was strong enough could one control the powerful force in the orifices and then open up new orifices. If the mind power couldn’t keep up, then the cultivation would enter a sluggish stage, or even stagnate outright.
However, a good gong method would naturally quench the mind power when cultivating the orifices, allowing the mind power to grow along with the cultivation.
This was the case with the Heavy Elemental Sword Technique, as it was cultivated in a step-by-step manner, both the mind and spirit power and Yuan Power would continue to strengthen until it was limited by your talent, and then it would eventually slow down.
The Heavy Yuan Sword Technique was mainly thick and heavy, thus the cultivation speed was not fast and could only be considered moderate. Chen Fei’s current mind power was roughly equivalent to a martial artist who had opened a dozen or so orifices, thus Chen Fei’s next cultivation would not come to a standstill.
However, it would definitely not be too fast either. When Chen Fei cultivated the Heavy Elemental Sword Technique to the great circle, his battle power would be increased a lot, but his cultivation progress was estimated to be about the same as opening an orifice in almost a year.
And this was already something that could only be done by extremely talented martial artists.
If Chen Fei wanted to go faster, he would have to take pills. Not the ones made from ordinary medicinal herbs, not even those made from decades of portions.
It had to be those made from spiritual herbs to benefit cultivation growth. The Yuan Chen Sword Sect had pills that were given out every month to martial artists at the Orifice Practicing Realm. However, the quantity would not be too much, and if one wanted to grow rapidly in cultivation, they still needed to find their own way out.
Refining pills, Chen Fei is not afraid, but the source of spiritual materials, is a very big problem, usually want to buy, are extremely difficult, because they are controlled by various families and sects.
There was another way to speed up cultivation, and that was to continuously strengthen the mind power. If the mind power could drastically surpass the progress of the orifices, then it would be possible to push the opening of the orifices in the reverse direction.
For mind power, the Dan Master Alliance’s Thousand Silk Technique was a direction, but that one required a very large contribution to get it.
The other one, was the part of Zhen Long Xiang Zhen Shen.
Because he had yet to comb through the Zhen Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei did not know the wonders of the Zhen Dragon Elephant’s God Suppressing portion, and was now unable to determine if his guess was correct or not.
However, with the marvelousness of the Zhen Dragon Elephant’s body-suppressing part, the God-suppressing would definitely not let Chen Fei down.
It was the combing as well as simplifying of the Zhen Dragon Elephant that made Chen Fei frown a little, because the amount of silver taels needed was really too much!
As the night deepened, Ruan Qiaojun and Chu Lan had already fallen into sleep, and Chu Wennian was faking sleep, keeping an eye on the surrounding movements.
Chen Fei, who was constantly combing through his gains, suddenly opened his eyes all of a sudden, his eyes looking ahead. A moment later, a sound of footsteps slowly came.
As if stepping on the nodes of a person’s heart, Chu Wennian covered his chest at once, and Ruan Qiaojun and Chu Lan both woke up suddenly, their eyes looking at the incoming person with horror.
“Treading Heart Decision?”
Chen Fei’s eyebrows moved slightly, and as Chen Fei’s words were uttered, the feeling as if he was about to step through his heart disappeared all of a sudden.
“Your Excellency has good insight!”
In the shadows, Qu Yuanen stepped out, and his pupils shrunk slightly when he saw that Chen Fei had broken his Treading Heart Determination with a single word. Although it was only a test just now, the feedback Chen Fei gave was beyond his expectations.
“You guys are Rain Tower’s assassins?”
Chen Fei did not get up, the technique, Heart Treading Decision, was somewhat well-known as it belonged to an organization, Rain Tower!
The Rain Building did not simply kill people, it also accepted other commissions, as long as the price was given enough, there were many things they dared to do.
Of course, most of the ones that found their way to the Rain Tower were still killing missions, which was also the Rain Tower’s main specialty. Because killing, sometimes it was far easier than other things.
“Yes.”
Qu Yuanen stopped at a distance of about twenty meters from Chen Fei, this position, was the distance that Qu Yuanen felt safe, any closer, it would be a little hard to say.
“Who placed the commission, I am willing to pay, can you cancel the mission?”
Ruan Qiaojun had also heard of the reputation of the Rain Tower and hurriedly spoke out. If it was possible to solve the problem with money, Ruan Qiaojun begged for it.
“Miss Ruan is joking.”
Qu Yuanen smiled faintly and glanced at Ruan Qiaojun, his eyes flashed a cold aura, then he looked at Chen Fei and said, “Since Your Excellency knows about the Rain Building, you should also know the principles of the Rain Building, as long as we take on a mission, we will carry it out to the end.”
Ruan Qiaojun’s trio’s hearts chilled, was this meant to be immortal? To be targeted by an assassin organization like this, that kind of terror, those who hadn’t faced it head on, simply couldn’t experience it.
“How come I heard that as long as I kill a few more of your people, the mission will automatically be canceled?” Chen Fei laughed softly.
How could there be so much immortality, the Rain Tower was an assassin organization, it was for profit, not for anything else. When it came to a mission that could not be carried out, or if it was carried out, it was bound to lose money, the Rain Tower would simply give up.
Unless the employer can give a higher honorarium, the rain floor may continue to perform.
“I came here to persuade Your Excellency to leave. It’s only a casual acquaintance, why would you get yourself into such trouble?”
Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Qu Yuanen’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he still patiently persuaded.
They had found out that Ruan Qiaojun and Chen Fei did not know each other at all, and should not have had any previous dealings. With the Rain Tower’s fame being forced upon them, most people who saw the road would, I’m afraid, weigh their options.
“This persuasion of yours is not sincere enough.”
Chen Fei slightly shook his head, his right hand pointed forward, a black light flickered from Chen Fei’s fingertip, and in the next moment, a sound of a heavy object smashing into the ground resounded in the distance.
The breeze whipped, and the smell of blood slowly drifted in from the distance.
Chen Fei’s fingers tapped, and wisps of smoke gathered in front of Chen Fei. Just a moment ago when Qu Yuanen appeared, the poisonous gas had already surged towards this side.
