Medical Sage

After Tu Qianshan left, Chen Fei’s figure reappeared outside the Green Mountain Peak.

He first bowed deeply towards the peak, then took a step and reached the place where the ten stone beast statues were located. Although these ten statues were still statues, they had lost their vitality and remained completely motionless, reduced to lifeless stones.

Chen Fei looked calmly at the ten statues for a while, then walked to one of them and reached into the eye socket of the Pill Beast statue. With a gentle pinch of his fingers, he took out a greyish-white pill from within the Pill Beast.

The pill was dim and fragile, so fragile that only a gentle pinch of his fingers caused a small portion to gradually turn to ash and disperse... Seeing this, Chen Fei frowned slightly and sighed, ”Indeed, with the passage of time, the potency of these King Pills has dissipated.”

Chen Fei was about to turn and leave again, but then he paused unexpectedly and glanced sideways at the most conspicuous and impressive of the ten Pill Beasts, the single-horned Flood Dragon.

In its eyes, a faint, unnoticeable thread of lightning quietly floated, like a dark river in an abyss, silent and extremely still. Chen Fei’s pupils contracted, his mouth opened in amazement, and he immediately approached the single-horned Flood Dragon Pill Beast.

Chen Fei reached into the double sockets in the eye region of the Flood Dragon Pill Beast, and soon, he extracted a pitch-black pill wrapped by wisps of lightning the size of a little finger.

”Tribulation Lightning Pill Refining!” This was one of the top King Pills Chen Fei knew of, with a twenty percent chance to help a Supreme Heavenly Position individual withstand the thunder from the assaulting Realm of the Saint Infant. If word got out, the entire Qiannan Ancient Kingdom Inner Domain would surely erupt!

After all, one must realize that the Realm of the Ancestor of the Saint Infant is an unparalleled level, completely surpassing the True Monarch Realm! Presently, there is no one at that level in Qiannan Ancient Kingdom publicly.

”It’s a shame that this pill too has suffered the ravages of time, and much of its potency has faded… Whether I can use it to trick someone in the future is uncertain.” Chen Fei muttered, placing the Tribulation Lightning Pill into a treasured jade bottle for safekeeping, only then did he truly leave and disappear.

...

In the center of a city ruin, a massive sky-reaching gray giant tree cast its immense shadow, ash-black blood gas rolled and roiled like a living being, astonishing and sending chills through those who observed.

Meanwhile, the upper part of the giant tree became shrouded in a vast, endless layer of mysterious ripples. That ripple descended countless blood-colored rainbows, enveloping the top third of the tree, as if leading to another world.

At this time, in front of the mysterious gray ancient tree, many figures floated in the sky, roughly estimated to be several hundred, nearly a thousand in number. The atmosphere among everyone was somewhat tense, each face taut with greed, casting sidelined glances at the sky-reaching ancient tree, as if anticipating something.

Whoosh! At this moment, the sound of something breaking through the air came from the distant sky; Chen Fei arrived from afar.

”Hm? It’s him...” Pairs of sharp eyes swept over to Chen Fei, carrying hostility. Upon recognizing him, those hostile eyes temporarily moved away, though only temporarily.

Noticing this atmosphere, Chen Fei frowned slightly, and then a transmission reached his ears: ”Brother Chen, this way.”

It was Long Yi’s voice! After recognizing it, Chen Fei looked toward the direction from which the voice came, and then paused slightly, noticing that Qi Family Fort and its allies suffered significant casualties, with their numbers greatly reduced. Even Li Pangbo and Duan Shishan, both at the Peak of Minor Heavenly Position, were injured, awkwardly positioned at a distance from the giant tree.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the group closest to the giant tree was particularly striking.

An elder in a robe, with purple hair and an unkempt appearance, stood in the forefront of the group closest to the mysterious gray giant tree, looking up silently at the sky, as if waiting for something.

”Hm?” Suddenly, as if sensing something, his cold gaze swept over and collided with Chen Fei’s evaluating stare, like a void thunder, icily unfolding.

”Another Great Heaven Rank?” Chen Fei murmured softly, diverted his gaze, and flew toward Long Yi’s location.

Watching Chen Fei’s back as he left, the purple-haired elder’s brow furrowed deeply, and after a long pause, he suddenly asked, ”Who is that kid!?”

”He’s called Chen Fei. Elder Changmo, you should have heard of him, right?” A somewhat familiar voice beside him sounded, from none other than Wang Zhanxin, a giant of the Eternal Temple.

”Is it him?” The purple-haired elder’s brow furrowed deeper. He indeed knew of Chen Fei, but primarily due to the Ice Demon Marquis. Otherwise, even if someone exterminated the Lan Family, it wouldn’t truly interest him, but now...

”His eyes actually made me feel a sense of danger, was it an illusion?” The purple-haired elder swept his gaze over Chen Fei again, and after a long silence, he eventually shook his head. Unless he’s genuinely a more formidable person than him, he should not have this sensation… It seems it was indeed an illusion.

”Brother Chen.”

”Daoist Chen.”

...

Seeing Chen Fei flying toward them, Long Yi, Li Pangbo, Duan Shishan, and others greeted him. However, it was clear that their spirits were genuinely dampened at this moment.

”What happened?” Chen Fei asked.

”Two fruits fell from the tree earlier, and when one was opened, it turned out to be the legendary Enlightening Fruit...”

Long Yi said with a bitter smile. But before he could finish, Chen Fei interrupted him with a surprised look, ”Enlightening Fruit? The one that can let someone cultivate a second Divine Sense?”

”Exactly!” Duan Shishan nodded, then lowered his voice, staring coldly at the sky, and said, ”Originally, the Enlightening Fruit was ours, but it was snatched away by that Elder Changmo, who even killed many of our people...”

”Elder Changmo?” Chen Fei turned his head to look at the purple-haired elder in the sky and said, ”Is it him? What’s his background?”

”Keep your voice down.” Duan Shishan reminded Chen Fei, and continued, ”He is a Great Heaven Rank Ancestor of the Four Directions Demon Sect, his name is Changmo, known as Elder Changmo, a figure as renowned as our Qi Family Fort’s Patriarch Qi Xuchong...”

”I see...” Chen Fei nodded understandingly, then asked, ”What about the second fruit? What was inside?”

”Don’t know.” Nearby, Li Pangbo shook his head gloomily and said, ”The second fruit was also snatched away by him, so no one knows what’s inside.”

”Is that so?” Chen Fei’s eyes flickered as he looked toward the gray Sky-reaching Ancient Tree. After a moment, his brows gradually furrowed.

”What did you discover?” Seeing Chen Fei’s furrowed brows deepening, Duan Shishan asked from the side.

”I’m not quite sure yet, but are you all really certain it was the real Enlightening Fruit?” Chen Fei asked.

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. Duan Shishan frowned and said, ”What do you mean by that?”

”There’s no free lunch in the world. Besides, the Enlightening Fruit is a legendary item that would tempt even Mystic Heaven, Supreme Heavenly Position, and even Ancestor of the Saint Infant level figures! So, I find it hard to believe it’s real.” Chen Fei calmly stood there, scrutinizing the giant tree as his frown deepened.

At this moment, a blood-red glow suddenly descended from the sky, and then a lustrous light fell directly toward Chen Fei’s position.

”Hmm?” Chen Fei reached out and grabbed, and a large blood-colored fruit appeared in his hand.

At the same time, people erupted in excitement.

”It’s that fruit! The third one... I wonder what amazing treasure might be hidden inside this one?” All eyes were filled with excitement, as well as dangerous greed. Then, figures shot toward Chen Fei.

”I didn’t expect your luck to be so good. Just arrived here, and that fruit appears right above your head. Unfortunately, such a treasure is not meant for you. Hand it over!” Wang Zhanxin looked at Chen Fei with disdain, asking him to surrender the fruit.

Chen Fei glanced at him indifferently and directly ignored Wang Zhanxin.

”Get lost before I get angry!”

A淡淡 voice echoed, leaving everyone stunned! Afterwards, they looked at Chen Fei as if seeing an idiot.

At this point, the Eternal Temple had already joined with the Four Directions Demon Sect! So, though Wang Zhanxin’s words were disdainful and arrogant, he was actually speaking on behalf of the ancestor of the Four Directions Demon Sect, Elder Changmo! Would you dare refuse when a Great Heaven Rank existence tells you to hand something over? Do you have a screw loose?

Wang Zhanxin was also taken aback by his own laughter and then took a step back, casting a provoking cold smile toward the ancestor of Four Directions Demon Sect, Elder Changmo, and said, ”Elder Changmo, you heard it. Some people apparently don’t want to give you any face.”

”Shut up!” Li Pangbo couldn’t take it anymore, scolded, glaring at Wang Zhanxin, whose eyes froze. Then, gritting his teeth, Li Pangbo turned to Elder Changmo and said, ”Elder Changmo, you’ve already taken two fruits. You’re eating the meat; at least let us others sip some soup?”

”Soup?” Wang Zhanxin let out a sarcastic laugh and said, ”Li Pangbo, if your Qi Family Fort’s Patriarch Qi Xuchong were here, you’d have the right to say that to Elder Changmo, but now it’s just you bunch of trash here, do you have the right to say such things?”

”You!” The people from Qi Family Fort’s faces turned stiff with anger, yet they were helpless because, indeed, Elder Changmo was a Great Heaven Rank figure, dominating the scene! None of them could stand on equal ground with him. Let alone talk about ’sipping soup’.

Without enough strength, you indeed have no qualifications!

”Your mouth really stinks.” At this moment, a淡淡 sarcastic voice rang out, causing Wang Zhanxin’s face to turn sour.

In the next instant, Wang Zhanxin fixed a gloomy glare at Chen Fei, saying fiercely, ”What did you say!?”

A wisp of killing intent surged toward Chen Fei.
