Chapter 365: Descending From The Sky

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A thought suddenly crossed Chen Fei’s mind—was this the correct way to obtain spiritual materials and elemental stones?

Digesting all of these resources to support his cultivation, Chen Fei’s cultivation would experience rapid growth in an extremely short time. There wouldn’t be any hindrances or bottlenecks along the way.

Others had to contend with the constraints of their core soul energy, as their acupoints grew too quickly for their core soul energy to control. They also faced challenges in comprehending their techniques. If they couldn’t fully understand the techniques, they couldn’t even open their acupoints.

However, these were not issues for Chen Fei. Whether it was the Zhongyuan Sword, the Giant Spirit Sword, or even the Soaring Heaven Technique, any one of them could support Chen Fei’s cultivation up to the late Aperture tempering realm.

The only slight issue was that his core soul energy could currently only control fifty-one acupoints. Chen Fei had initially believed that he wouldn’t face any core soul energy-related problems in the short term.

Now, he realized that his plans needed to change. It seemed like his core soul energy was no longer sufficient. However, who could have predicted this turn of events?

Chen Fei had only recently broken through to the mid-Aperture tempering realm, just over a month ago. To think that his core soul energy, which could control fifty-one acupoints, would suddenly become insufficient was surprising.

Chen Fei gazed at the spiritual materials and elemental stones before him. The disciples of the Yashan Sect couldn’t grow rapidly in a short time due to the constraints of their techniques and core soul energy. That’s why they had saved up so many resources, and now it had turned into a windfall for Chen Fei.

Chen Fei didn’t want to find himself in a situation where he had plenty of spiritual materials but couldn’t use them due to his inadequate core soul energy. That would be too frustrating.

Chen Fei’s core soul energy growth rate was far from slow. As he cultivated the three techniques to perfection, his vitality and techniques would continuously nourish and strengthen his core soul energy.

But this requires time, and not a short amount of time at that.

For others cultivating in the Aperture tempering realm, the time required for comprehending techniques, the growth of their core soul energy, and acquiring resources naturally all take time.

As a result, it’s easy to establish a dynamic balance where there is never an imbalance.

However, in Chen Fei’s case, due to the interface, his level of comprehension of techniques is off the charts. Naturally, the dynamic balance among these three aspects is directly disrupted.

In comparison to other Aperture tempering realm cultivators, Chen Fei’s core soul energy growth rate is actually quite fast because of his significant lead in techniques. It’s just that it appears slower because it doesn’t match the speed of his technique comprehension.

As for cultivation resources, Chen Fei has gained quite a bit, from the Alchemist Alliance at the beginning to the assets of the Yashan Sect in front of him, and even the original mystic realm. He has acquired a substantial amount of resources.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to open forty-one acupoints in just around three years. This is a quantity of acupoints that many independent cultivators can’t open in their entire lifetime.

Even in some major sects, opening forty-one acupoints would take decades to start with, a lengthy process that can be intimidating.

Chen Fei neatly organized the resources in front of him and stashed them in his spatial grid, filling it to the brim. However, there were still some items that couldn’t fit, so Chen Fei took a piece of cloth, wrapped the remaining items, and carried them on his back.

In addition to these resources, Chen Fei also obtained two Yashan Sect inheritance jade scrolls.

The Yashan Sect’s techniques were quite good, and the profundity of the Mountain-Sealing Sword and Sea-Sealing Sword techniques was no less than the legacies of most sects. It’s just that Chen Fei’s strength was greater, making them seem somewhat inadequate.

Chen Fei’s core soul energy swept through, confirming that there were no other omissions in the hall. His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot. He needed to find Ruan Qiaojun. Only when this matter was completed could today’s events be considered concluded.

In the dungeon of the city lord’s mansion, Ruan Qiaojun sat cross-legged on the ground, listening intently to the sounds outside.

The commotion in the city lord’s mansion just now, even in the dungeon, was crystal clear. Clearly, something had happened outside. However, now, the sounds had ceased for some time.

“The Yashan Army, three mid-Aperture tempering realm experts, several early-Aperture tempering realm cultivators… such strength…”

Information about the Yashan Army flashed through Ruan Qiaojun’s mind, and there was a hint of despair in her expression. Even if Chen Fei were to appear in Qinhai City now, facing the Yashan Army, he would be powerless.

Unless the Primordial Sword Sect was willing to send a late-Aperture tempering realm expert to exert dominance and possibly persuade the Yashan Army to release the Ruan family members.

But why should Chen Fei go and ask the sect’s expert to help a small family like the Ruan family? Just because of a few favors from the past?

After being the head of the Ruan family for so many years, Ruan Qiaojun was no longer as naive as she was many years ago. In this world, sometimes, it’s more about interests.

Without interests, so-called favors can appear quite thin, so thin that Ruan Qiaojun felt that the Ruan family was in dire straits this time. Although Ruan Qiaojun couldn’t understand why the Yashan Army had targeted the Ruan family.

And why did they isolate her here alone?

Sometimes, Ruan Qiaojun had a strange feeling that the Yashan Army seemed to be using the Ruan family as bait to lure someone.

Some of those who might have had some relationship with the Ruan family were just a few aperture tempering realm cultivators, and their relationships were quite ordinary. When the Ruan family was in trouble, those people wouldn’t care at all.

The only one with a slight possibility seemed to be Chen Fei, who had appeared just recently.

However, facing the power of the Yashan Army, even if Chen Fei came, he would be utterly useless and might even get himself into trouble.

Various chaotic and unclear thoughts flashed through Ruan Qiaojun’s mind, and she couldn’t help but sigh softly.

A prison guard strolled by the cell door, glancing at Ruan Qiaojun inside, with a hint of greed in his eyes. However, he quickly hid his gaze.

Ruan Qiaojun was naturally endowed with beauty and had been the head of the Ruan family for many years. Her temperament was gentle and carried a hint of the authority of an upper-class person. It was a contradictory mix but made people irresistibly want to take a few more glances, as she had a unique allure.

However, even if the prison guard had ten times more courage, he wouldn’t dare to touch Ruan Qiaojun at this moment.

Rumors had it that a core disciple from the sect would take Ruan Qiaojun as a concubine in a few days, and there would even be a grand celebration. The prison guard didn’t know if this information was true or false, but it was spreading with a lot of detail.

The prison guard made a round but didn’t find anything unusual, so he turned and walked back. However, just as he had walked halfway, he suddenly felt the entire dungeon shake slightly.

The prison guard was startled and hadn’t figured out what was happening when suddenly, something behind him exploded. A figure descended from the sky into the dungeon, and a tremendous force swept out in all directions as the person landed.

With a cultivation level in the bone tempering realm, this cultivation realm was quite good among ordinary people. However, facing this overwhelming force, he couldn’t even put up resistance and was struck in the chest, smashing into the wall.

Without catching his breath, the prison guard directly lost consciousness. He didn’t even know what had happened from the moment the dungeon shook to when he fainted.

Ruan Qiaojun stared at the figure before her, her eyes slightly widened. Although Ruan Qiaojun had fantasized in her heart that Chen Fei would come to rescue her, deep down, she knew it was just a fantasy.

Knowing more about the situation made her feel even more hopeless.

Therefore, when she saw Chen Fei actually appearing there, Ruan Qiaojun had an extremely unreal feeling. Chen Fei had actually taken a tremendous risk to come here.

For a moment, this overwhelming joy surrounded her heart, leaving Ruan Qiaojun at a loss for how to react, and her eyes had unknowingly turned red.

For someone who had faced such a hopeless situation, suddenly having someone descend from the sky like this, those who hadn’t experienced it could hardly imagine what kind of emotions would be involved.

Chen Fei turned to look at Ruan Qiaojun, a smile appearing on his face. He waved his right hand, and Ruan Qiaojun felt a rush of wind before her. When she opened her eyes again, she was already standing on the ground.

Ruan Qiaojun instinctively looked up at the sky, where the moon shone like a mirror, adorned with countless stars. The night breeze rustled her hair as it flowed past.

A day later, dozens of people from the Ruan family appeared in the city of Lingshui, three hundred miles away, starting their new life in the city.

They had no knowledge of the events in Qinhai City the previous night. Chen Fei didn’t go into detail, only mentioning that someone had taken advantage of the chaos to attack the Yashan Army, causing great turmoil in Qinhai City.

The Ruan family members dared not stay in Qinhai City any longer and implored Chen Fei to take them away from there.

After bringing Ruan Qiaojun out, Chen Fei decided to bring everyone to Lingshui City.

In Qinhai City, Chen Fei had successfully subdued the mid-level cultivators of the Yashan Army, but there were still a few early-stage cultivators who were outside and might return at any time.

For Chen Fei now, those early-stage cultivators of the Yashan Army were inconsequential. Even if the death of Hong Yuanfeng had to be investigated by the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, it would be difficult to trace it back to Chen Fei.

After all, the only ones who truly knew Chen Fei’s cultivation level were Sect Master Qu Qingsheng and Elder Zhou Zixun. Others who had witnessed Chen Fei’s true strength had already been eliminated.

More importantly, Hong Yuanfeng had set up a trap to kill Chen Fei without prior notification to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. Otherwise, the sect would never have allowed Hong Yuanfeng to take action.

Hong Yuanfeng was preoccupied with his personal grudges, and the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect would never behave that way.

Therefore, it was likely that even the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect didn’t know that Hong Yuanfeng had appeared in Qinhai City. Even if they tried to investigate now, it would be a very lengthy process.

Furthermore, it was unclear whether the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had the energy to pursue this matter given their current circumstances.

Chen Fei brought the Ruan family to Lingshui City to further reduce the chances of them being discovered, which would save them a lot of trouble. Additionally, the Ruan family members were still unaware of what had actually happened in Qinhai City.

Even the people in Qinhai City were clueless about what had occurred that night; they could only speculate. Once they started guessing, it would lead to serious misunderstandings.

“This medicine, when applied externally for seven days, will help your injuries recover,” Chen Fei said as he handed a bottle of medicine to Chu Lan, smiling.

“Thank you, Big Brother Chen,” Chu Lan replied with her head lowered, hiding the scar on her face from Chen Fei’s view.

Although Chu Lan knew that Chen Fei didn’t care about this, she still hoped to have an intact face to face Chen Fei.

After a while, Chu Lan left the room. Chen Fei took out a jade scroll and examined its contents. In less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, Chen Fei put down the jade scroll, his eyes filled with contemplation.

This jade scroll came from the leader of the Yashan Sect. Initially, Chen Fei thought it was about cultivation techniques, but he later discovered that it contained some intelligence.

The information in this jade scroll pointed to the location of Shang Wu City, which was the very place that the Yashan Army had wanted to capture in the beginning..
