Chapter 308: Half Bottle Mountain

Chapter 308 – Half Bottle Mountain

Chen Fei sensed the situation of the Qian Yuan Sword and pondered for a moment, continuing to absorb the Spiritual Essence from that Medium Grade Spiritual Sword, Chen Fei was ready to push the Qian Yuan Sword to the level of a Medium Grade Spiritual Sword in one fell swoop.

A mid-grade spirit sword, without considering other characteristics, could also increase the cultivation level by around five or so orifices, not to mention the other additions that a mid-grade spirit sword could make to the aspect of feats.

Thus, as long as the Qian Yuan Sword was upgraded by one level, Chen Fei’s battle power could definitely be furthered.

This method of absorbing the spiritual essence of other spiritual weapons as a way to enhance one’s own spiritual weapon was actually quite wasteful, and very few martial artists would do so.

Selling the excess spiritual weapons and then purchasing spiritual materials to aid in the growth of one’s own spiritual weapon was what most people chose, as it was the most cost-effective.

Or directly purchasing a molded spirit weapon, at most, it would take some time to warm it up, which was also a good choice.

However, it was obvious that these two spirit weapons obtained by Chen Fei were not to be seen in the light of day, and it was too risky to take them and sell them. Since this was the case, it would be better to let the Qian Yuan Sword absorb them directly.

Directly devouring the Spiritual Essence, although it was wasteful, it had to be said that it was very efficient, greatly shortening the time it took for the Spiritual Weapons to grow, and there were no other faults other than costing money.

“Ka ka ka ka!”

As the Qian Yuan Sword continued to devour Spiritual Essence, the body of the Qian Yuan Sword began to tremble continuously, and the fluctuations of spirituality began to become raging, and even berserk.

A metamorphosis from the inside out began, and Chen Fei could even feel the joy that the Qian Yuan Sword transmitted.

“Buzz!”

After an unknown amount of time, the originally trembling body of the Qian Yuan Sword suddenly quieted, and a light flowed all the way from the position of the hilt to the tip of the sword.

As the light bead at the tip of the sword flickered, a circle of ripples spread out in all directions with the tip of the sword as the center. A huge devouring force arose from the Qian Yuan Sword, and the surrounding Yuan Qi instantly boiled and madly surged into the Qian Yuan Sword.

Chen Fei stood beside the Qian Yuan Sword and watched the changes in the Qian Yuan Sword, a smile could not help but appear on his face.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the boiling Yuan Qi around gradually calmed down, and the sword blade on the ground, which still had a small half of Spiritual Purity left, suddenly trembled and completely turned into mortal iron.

And all of its Spiritual Essence surged into the Qian Yuan Sword at once, and the Qian Yuan Sword instantly absorbed it, no longer drawing it as slowly as before.

Chen Fei took a step forward and held the Qian Yuan Sword, a force that had never been seen before linked with the Yuan Power in Chen Fei’s body at once, and the Yuan Power seemed to expand.

Chen Fei realized plainly that this was presumably the increase in cultivation from a mid-grade spiritual weapon. The moves executed with such a degree of Yuan Power, compared to the original, had indeed increased quite a bit.

Chen Fei gently stroked the body of the Qian Yuan Sword, calming down its somewhat fluctuating spirituality, and eventually gradually restrained all the spirituality.

Chen Fei inserted the Qian Yuan Sword into the special scabbard, as long as it was not purposely displayed, it would be difficult for others to realize that the Qian Yuan Sword had already turned into a medium grade spirit sword.

And by the time Chen Fei needed to display it, it was already a life and death struggle, and whether others knew it or not was already a matter of indifference.

What could a dead person do if he knew more?

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and a group of Orifice Practicing Realm stood at the foot of Half Bottle Mountain, looking up at the peak that emitted a secretive aura.

Because of the high rewards promised by Liao Hanqin, the Body Refinement Realm disciples of the various sects were very attentive to looking for all possible traces, but the Divine Inferno Sect’s people still hadn’t found any.

Liao Hanqin decided to go up Half Bottle Mountain, not only to find the Divine Flame Sect’s people, but also for the treasures that were bred on Half Bottle Mountain.

The entire secret realm was thick with Yuan Qi because of the ascension, but the place with the thickest Yuan Qi was at Half Bottle Mountain, standing at the foot of the mountain, one could feel that the Yuan Qi was one or two percent higher than the rest of the place.

On the real Halfbottle Mountain, the richness of the Yuan Qi could be imagined.

And the denser the Yuan Qi was, the higher the probability that heavenly treasures might be born. With so many Orifice Practicing Realms coming to the secret realm, the ordinary spirit grasses were good, but now they wanted better.

“This Half Bottle Mountain isn’t simple, and the Divine Flame Sect’s people might be up there as well, so all of you should be more careful later!”

Liao Hanqin looked at the dozens of Practicing Orifices Realm in front of him and said in a deep voice.

“Elder Liao has the heart!”

Ren Zhongyang arched his hand, and the other sects also smiled and agreed. However, what the other sects had in mind was to slightly distance themselves from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect after going up Half Bottle Mountain.

Otherwise, if they were to enter and exit with the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s, then anything good would probably fall into the hands of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s people.

Everyone was willing to wait until this time to go up Half Bottle Mountain only because they were not very sure and wanted others to share some of the dangers, not really giving away all the spiritual materials.

As for encountering the Divine Flame Sect’s people, it was true that there was a certain amount of danger, but since they were willing to go up Half Bottle Mountain, they had also long since taken this danger into consideration.

After all, the Divine Flame Sect, the biggest target was still the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.

Chen Fei stood in the crowd, looking at the hidden clouds on Half Bottle Mountain, the rat demon in his sleeve moved around somewhat uneasily. For going up Half Bottle Mountain, the rat demon was resistant, but it could not go against Chen Fei’s will. Feng Xiupu and Wei Yantao were not here, they were still in the original cave continuing to heal their wounds.

Half Bottle Mountain is unpredictable, with two people’s injured body, and then risk on Half Bottle Mountain, that is not worth the loss. It would be better to nurse their injuries at the bottom of the mountain and wait for the opening of the exit of the secret realm in a few dozen days.

A quarter of an hour later, dozens of figures jumped, rushing towards Half Bottle Mountain, rushing in the forefront, naturally, is the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, Liao Hanqin is even the first to lead the way.

Chen Fei was at the end of the crowd, sensing the situation around him. As he stepped over a mountain stone, Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly. Not only Chen Fei, but the surrounding Orifice Practicing Realm’s expressions all fluctuated a bit.

The range of mind power perception was compressed, and it was a very obvious kind of compression, and as one traveled further and further up the Half Bottle Mountain, this compression became more and more intense.

The mind power was the other eye of a martial artist, and this was even more obvious for the Orifice Practicing realm. And now that the eye of the mind power was slowly being covered up, it instantly put the heart on guard.

Fortunately, although the perception range of the mind power was shrinking, they did not encounter any danger. By the time the crowd reached the halfway point of the mountain, the range of perception of the mind power was already less than ten meters.

The Yuan Qi of the halfway up the mountainside was extremely dense, compared to the foot of the mountain, the concentration of Yuan Qi here had directly increased by more than fifty percent. However, what was strange was that with such a dense Yuan Qi, not a single Spirit Grass was found along the way.

Chen Fei stood on a rock and looked up towards the peak. Compared to when he was at the foot of the mountain, he could still see the entirety of Half Bottle Mountain, but now that he was in the middle of it, he couldn’t see what the peak looked like.

However, although he couldn’t see the top of the mountain, but vaguely, he was able to sense a hint of fluctuation coming from the top of the mountain. Because the power of the mind was obscured, this perception was extremely vague.

But although fuzzy, that kind of fluctuation, if seemingly nothing, is still somewhat tantalizing.

Compared to the excitement that was vaguely showing on other people’s faces, Chen Fei was calm. Although he had not encountered any danger at this moment, in Chen Fei’s heart, there was always a strange feeling, as if something was spying on him.

But when Chen Fei carefully searched for it, he could not find anything, as if everything was just Chen Fei’s own illusion.

Liao Hanqin stood in front, his heart also had the odd feeling, Liao Hanqin glanced back at the dozens of Orifice Practicing Realms behind him.

This was an extremely powerful force, with such a force, it would also be enough to deal with the dangers that might be encountered on Half Bottle Mountain. After all, this was only a fledgling second stage mystic realm, if there really was any threat, it would need time to grow.

The crowd continued to advance towards the top of the mountain, but compared to a moment ago, everyone’s speed gradually slowed down.

Although the fluctuation coming from the top of the mountain was becoming more and more obvious, their mind power was also still being compressed. And what they saw along the way, they couldn’t even see a single Spirit Grass, which was too inconsistent with common sense.

Even if the Divine Flame Sect’s people really did come to Half Bottle Mountain one step ahead of them and scavenged the mountain’s spiritual materials, it would be difficult to do so cleanly.

Thus, the possibility that this phenomenon before them was done by the Divine Flame Sect, there was, but not much, the bigger reason might still be the Half Bottle Mountain itself.

If it was a cautious practitioner of the Orifice Realm who went up Half Bottle Mountain alone and encountered this kind of scene, he might back off, after all, it was a bit too strange.

However, at this moment, there were dozens of practitioners at the Orifice Realm present, and if they fled in such a situation, it would be too cautious.

As time passed, the crowd was getting closer and closer to the summit. By this point, everyone’s mind power had been pressed within a meter around their bodies.

Further away, it was no longer possible to sense clearly, only a vague perception of a little something, which made many people more or less uncomfortable. After all, from the time they broke through to the Orifice Practicing Realm, they had barely encountered this kind of situation.

Chen Fei looked around, the Yuan Power in his body was in a state of rapid flow, if he really encountered any danger, it would allow Chen Fei to react at once.

“Pah!”

The sound made by the soles of the shoes stepping over the dead branches, there was only a little distance left from the top of the mountain, the speed of the crowd slowed down once again, and did not appear to be impatient because of the obviousness of the fluctuations in the distance.

The Yuan Qi was getting thicker and thicker, so thick that it was astonishing.

Other people would not experience it as obvious, but at this moment, the people of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, at this moment, their faces were filled with astonishment, this kind of Yuan Qi concentration, it was too abnormal.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect possessed a second-order secret realm, and those of them, they had also been to that secret realm of their own. In the middle of the secret realm, some places had thicker Yuan Qi and some places had thinner Yuan Qi, all of these were extremely normal.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Spirit Tree was planted in the location where the secret realm’s Yuan Qi was thickest.

But the Yuan Qi was so thick that the people of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect hadn’t even found it in their own secret realm.

And as they continued to get closer to the top of the mountain, this Yuan Qi concentration continued to increase, obviously this Yuan Qi concentration was far from the limit of Half Bottle Mountain, the limit was still further up.

Liao Hanqin’s brows were furrowed, and there was joy in his eyes, as well as anxiety about the situation in front of him.

“Quickly look, what is that?” Suddenly someone exclaimed.

Everyone looked up and realized that on top of the mountain, there was a city towering.
