Chapter 142 No Rush
When Chen Yi's divine sense gently touched that wisp of purple smoke, the system immediately popped up two notifications:
[The Enlightenment-Boosting Treasure, Purple Cloud Smoke, has been detected. Do you wish to absorb it?]
[Purple Radiance Detected, Devour?]
Chen Yi's heart stirred slightly, thinking to himself that this item would surely be of great benefit to his cultivation.
At this moment, the golden crystals within his body are in a crucial stage of fusion, and his comprehension of thunder techniques has also reached a bottleneck.
Even the process of melting the diamond core requires extremely high comprehension to advance.
The spiritual energy contained within this purple mist might help him overcome these obstacles.
The current palace assembly and Feng Qingjun meeting are just the beginning.
If other Qi prodigies also need to go out to rest and gather resources, the toll fees for entering and leaving the minefield will likely increase several times over.
However, Chen Yi knew perfectly well that after these people went out once...
They will be well-prepared when they come back in, and will not come in or out easily.
Moreover,
As they spend more time in the minefield, if they can grasp some of the methods of applying the Thunder Spirit, it will not be difficult for them to enter and exit on their own.
This deal was ultimately just a short-term, one-off transaction.
When Chen Yi arrived on the third floor, he discovered a completely new opportunity.
Especially the corner where Leng Jianfei sat cross-legged, surrounded by walls on two sides with only a narrow opening facing the lightning field, where lightning reflected in the walls, creating eerie blue patterns—it was an excellent spot. He
Gazing at that area, a flash of inspiration struck him—
If lightning crystals can be arranged in an array to create a "lightning-free barrier" that can resist thunderstorms,
It's like setting up a safety tent.
At that time, renting it out to the geniuses who have exhausted their magic power to recuperate may open up another way to make money.
After all, even if these people are capable of entering and exiting on their own, they will still have to pay a huge price when crossing the forbidden zone.
If one could rest and recuperate deep within this minefield, it would be far more convenient than going out.
However, how to truly refine the lightning crystals and lightning spirit rune arrays into a third-order fixed array and set it up in the corner of this three-layered lightning field still needs to be carefully considered.
But this was no challenge for Chen Yi, for there was a ready-made third-tier array master right here—Qin Chengcheng!
Since there are readily available helpers, why not make use of them?
Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly, and he already had a plan in mind.
Feng Qingjun, Gong Quanhui, Qi Wuba, Qi Yunxi and others were successively sent away from the minefield by Chen Yi, and Chen Yi's storage bag was filled with nearly 20,000 spirit stones of resources.
Only Leng Jianfei remained stubbornly in the corner, his sword energy nearly exhausted, and his protective aura flickering under the erosion of the lightning field.
He was filled with remorse. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have said those harsh words to Xu Jiu.
Now they're in a bind, too ashamed to even ask for help—that bald guy will definitely take the opportunity to make exorbitant demands.
Bathed in the lightning's light, he slammed his fist into the ground, his knuckles going numb from the impact: "If only I had known this would happen!"
Damn it, it's all my fault for being so foul-mouthed!
In a corner of the minefield, Leng Jianfei huddled against the wall, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain. He still had two pills left to restore his mana.
His own sword techniques were completely ineffective in this lightning field, offering no defensive protection whatsoever.
Sword cultivators seem to be inherently countered by lightning cultivators; they can neither dodge nor defend against it.
The energy expenditure is huge, and every day is miserable.
I should have known better than to come in.
Now he could only hide in a corner, occasionally glancing up at those stunningly beautiful women for a little solace.
Damn, you know what, Qiu Li from Zhongzhou is fucking beautiful!
Even considering his cultivation level and temperament, he was actually slightly superior to Qin Chengcheng and Ning Bu'er.
If I could catch the eye of such a fairy, I could live off her for the rest of my life.
If all else fails, I'd be happy to hug either Qin Chengcheng or Ning Bu'er.
Even if it's not that bad, Qi Yourong or Qi Yunxi would be acceptable.
As Leng Jianfei was lost in his fantasy, a detached voice suddenly pierced his ears. Looking up, he saw the bald cultivator Xu Jiu looking down at him, with faint lightning patterns flowing around his body.
"Make way."
"What are you doing? I was here first!"
Leng Jianfei was displeased, but at this moment his magic power was depleted and his body was weak, so he did not dare to challenge Chen Yi too much. He could only use a tough tone to cover up his vulnerability.
"I need to conduct a verification here, so I would appreciate it if Fellow Daoist Leng could move elsewhere to comprehend it."
"What if I don't go?"
"Then I, Xu, will ask you to leave."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Jiu had already taken a step forward.
The lightning crystal suddenly burst out with a blinding light, and Leng Jianfei felt a numbness in his right arm before he was lifted into the air.
The protective sword energy and lightning collided, producing a "sizzling" sound, and finally dissipated into specks of starlight under the suppression of the lightning field.
"you!"
Leng Jianfei wanted to draw his sword, but seeing Xu Jiu's indifferent gaze, he forcibly withdrew it.
Most importantly, the lightning crackling in Xu Jiu's hand filled him with fear.
The fluctuations emanating from the lightning crystal in his hand were no less powerful than the lightning fluctuations within the three layers of lightning field.
Leng Jianfei has been terrified of being electrocuted these past few days.
"You just wait! Once I report to my master, I will definitely go to your Jade Dragon Sect and demand an explanation!"
Bathed in the light of lightning, the lightning crystal at Chen Yi's fingertips gleamed with a dangerous light, yet his voice was eerily calm: "Fellow Daoist Leng, with this threat, are you not planning to leave the third level?"
Leng Jianfei's Adam's apple bobbed, and the protective sword energy had shrunk to three inches above his body surface under the suppression of the lightning field.
He caught a glimpse of the gazes directed at him from the distance, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Five thousand spirit stones, right? I'll pay."
"Five thousand is fine too, I won't raise the price for you separately."
However, disciples of the Jade Dragon Sect only help friends, not enemies.
Fellow Daoist Leng has threatened me time and again, demanding both an explanation from my Jade Dragon Sect and my assistance. What kind of logic is this?
"What do you want?" Leng Jianfei's natal flying sword hummed, but it sounded weak and powerless under the suppression of the lightning field.
Chen Yi's lips curled slightly, but his voice was deliberately raised by three points:
"Simply swear an oath to Heaven in public. Say that you are grateful for Xu's help, that you are willing to pay for the materials to make up for Xu's losses, that you will not retaliate after leaving, and that you will treat all cultivators of my Jade Dragon Sect with courtesy in the future."
"You want me to swear an oath? You're going too far!"
Leng Jianfei was furious.
"If you don't want to swear, then you're planning to get revenge on me after you get out. Do you think I'd send someone like you out?"
Leng Jianfei's chest heaved as he sat there without saying a word.
Chen Yi guessed that he would need to think about it some more, but if there was no other way to get out on his own, he would eventually have to give in.
This vow was made in front of so many people, and Chen Yi will record a commemorative photo afterwards.
Even if he were to leave the Jade Dragon Sect and be pursued by their sect, Chen Yi would still have trump cards to use.
Even if he abandons the identity of Xu Jiu and doesn't use it, he's not afraid of Leng Jianfei's revenge.
But this image-recording stone should be worth some money if sold to the Jade Dragon Sect.
Chen Yi ignored Leng Jianfei and instead began studying how to build a simple lightning protection array in a corner.
He took out all the magnetic mine materials from his storage bag.
They also removed the materials from the large magnetic blasting jar.
Combining the lightning spirit rune array with previous experience in dealing with lightning fields,
An idea gradually formed in Chen Yi's mind, but he still needed the help of a third-tier array master.
"Fairy Qin? May I speak with you in private?"
Chen Yi transmitted his voice, his gaze falling on Qin Chengcheng, who was studying the Thunder Lion.
Upon hearing this, Qin Chengcheng immediately put down what she was doing and quickly walked over. The two whispered to each other in a corner, while the lightning crystal swirled at Chen Yi's fingertips, outlining intricate array patterns.
Qin Chengcheng nodded from time to time, her slender fingers lightly tapping the air to fill in several key points.
This scene made Leng Jianfei even angrier. Those two scoundrels!
In the distance, Qiu Li was comprehending the third Thunder Lion. When his divine sense swept over the corner, his brows furrowed slightly.
She saw that Qin Chengcheng was being pulled by the bald man to study some kind of refuge formation, rather than the core of the inheritance, and she became increasingly displeased.
"Hmph, that bastard!"
He came to the third floor but didn't strive for improvement, didn't study the Thunder Lion or the inheritance of martial arts techniques, and instead competed with others for a corner of the refuge.
Besides, instead of being ambitious and working from the sidelines, you have to drag Qin Chengcheng into it. Isn't that just a waste of time?
As Qiu Li studied the Thunder Lion, she used her divine sense to observe the two stalks of a man and woman huddled together in the corner. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up:
"Feed. Xu Jiu, who came in later, I heard you're the most powerful body cultivator in Qi Kingdom."
"Come here, I have two sets of experience on dealing with Thunder Lions. Take them and study them. With Chengcheng by your side, I guarantee you'll have no problem taking down the first two Thunder Lions."
This was the first time Qiu Li had spoken in front of everyone; her voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain stream.
Her body was surrounded by purple lightning, and her clothes fluttered without wind, making her look like a celestial maiden.
Her clear and melodious voice, combined with her unparalleled beauty, captivated all the male cultivators present.
Hearing her words, Leng Jianfei felt even more distressed. "Why? This bald guy is ugly, how could he possibly be favored by the Autumn Fairy of Zhongzhou?"
The clever little monk and Ning Bu'er also looked at Chen Yi with surprise.
Xu Jiu, without making a sound, even managed to get in touch with Fairy Qiu?
Even with his wisdom spanning several lifetimes, Linghui, the little monk, couldn't comprehend Qiu Li's talent and strength.
Amidst the gasps of surprise from the crowd, one person who knew the situation explained what had happened.
This person was none other than Young Master Ji, a second-generation Nascent Soul cultivator from Zhongzhou. He opened his magic umbrella, fanning away the lightning, and laughed:
"I have long heard that Fairy Qiu has a close friend in the State of Qi, and I was wondering why I couldn't meet her."
I never expected it to be so close.
"Miss Qin, I am Ji Wuchen from Zhongzhou. Greetings."
From a distance, Ji Wuchen actually bowed to Qin Chengcheng.
Upon hearing this, Qin Chengcheng stood up, turned around to look at the young man who exuded an air of wealth, and gave a slight bow without saying anything more.
Everyone present was intelligent.
He immediately understood.
original,
Qiu Xianzi was willing to help Xu Jiu because of Qin Chengcheng.
No wonder, when everyone else couldn't get into the third level, Fairy Qiu made a special trip from the third level and handed a jade slip to Qin Chengcheng.
Before long, Qin Chengcheng was able to go inside.
It turns out that Qin Chengcheng is Qiu Xianzi's best friend!
The reason why Fairy Qiu was willing to help Xu Jiu was because she didn't want to see Xu Jiu holding Qin Chengcheng back.
For a moment, all the male cultivators felt a pang of jealousy towards Xu Jiu.
You're a bald strongman, you don't have much courage to take on challenges, but you're certainly good at living off women.
however,
Chen Yi shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, fairy. I, Xu, have never been fond of taking risks."
This ancient sect's inheritance is for all you geniuses to fight for. I, Xu, will stay behind and provide you with some simple supplies, help you get in and out, and find a place to rest. That will make the trip worthwhile.
Please rest assured, Fairy Qin, I, Xu, will not occupy you for too long.
Chen Yi shook his head and refused. He wasn't in a hurry to deal with Lei Shizi's matter.
Anyway, after observing the situation, he saw that even the top genius Qiu Li would need quite a while to fully unravel the third level.
Chen Yi planned to settle down in a corner on the third floor first, to have a completely safe and secure place to rest.
Then, slowly, through the line of lightning runes, we can study the patterns of the lightning field in this third layer.
The saying "sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood" illustrates this point.
Moreover, they can also do some business with other cultivators to supplement their cultivation resources.
Why not do it.
To everyone's surprise, Xu Jiu actually rejected Fairy Qiu.
One by one, they showed expressions of regret.
In reality, they were secretly laughing.
Even the swordsman from Zhongzhou, Zuo Shouqing, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This country bumpkin from Qi actually refused Qiu Xianzi's help. He probably doesn't even know what a great opportunity he missed!
The Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance is a minor matter.
Knowing Fairy Qiu and even receiving personal guidance from her is more important to a rogue cultivator than joining a Golden Core sect.
Seeing Xu Jiu's refusal, Leng Jianfei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into his stomach.
He was knowledgeable enough to know a little about Qiu Li's background. If Xu Jiu really got in touch with Qiu Li,
Even if his seniors from his sect came out of seclusion, they wouldn't dare to question the Jade Dragon Sect anymore, otherwise the 25,000 spirit stones he paid would have been wasted.
"Hmph! You'd better watch yourself!"
Qiu Li's cold voice flashed by, and then she ignored Chen Yi.
She felt that Chen Yi was utterly hopeless and incompetent.
A cook, instead of focusing on his third-tier culinary skills in the Immortal City, insists on causing trouble in this secret realm.
Thinking he had found a clever way to get others into the third level, he...
Little did they know that entering the third level without sufficient personal strength would only harm others.
If something happens to the people he's with on the third floor, will their elders forgive him after they get out?
If he really offends a Nascent Soul cultivator, his fake identity as a warrior can be figured out in no time.
There are indeed highly skilled diviners in this world.
That person didn't even need to interrogate Qin Chengcheng to know Chen Yi's true identity.
When that time comes, no one can save him.
Qiu Li only spoke up in support because of Qin Chengcheng's relationship with Chen Yi.
If Chen Yi is willing to accept her help, no matter how much trouble he causes in the secret realm,
If that person's sect wants to make a move against Chen Yi, they'll have to ask Qiu Li's opinion first.
It should be noted that Qiu Li's master, True Monarch Zixiao, is currently in the territory of Qi Kingdom, and her cultivation level is even higher than that of the Qi Emperor.
Forget it, I can't be bothered with him anymore. He likes to hide in the background and do things that aren't worth his time. Let him do it.
People who have no sense of responsibilities and waste their own time are beyond help from others.
I didn't sleep half the night last night and haven't gotten up all day. I was thinking of taking a day off, but I think I'll stick to updating.
