67 Gathering Of The Three Families (2/2)

He had come prepared.

Unlike in the city where food was abundant, one would have to either bring their own food or hunt for it in the wilderness. In the eyes of Zheng Anqi, Chen Fan and his company were city dwellers and had no survival abilities in the wilderness. She wagered that it was only a matter of time before Chen Fan came begging for food.

”Luckily, I came prepared.”

Chen Fan said as he produced two pills from a bottle and gave it to Master Wu and A'Xiu.

As soon as A'Xiu and Master Wu swallowed the pills, they felt a gush of fresh energy surge inside of them, charging up every cell in their body. Soon, the pores on their skin opened up as steam rose from them. The sensation was as comfortable as it was satisfying.

One Essence Gathering Pill could provide enough energy for a human body for ten days.

In addition, it has the marrow washing effect that quickly expelled the nefarious elements in one's system. It was particularly beneficial for cultivators since these pills were able to help them to recharge their True Essence rapidly.

”Master Chen, is this the so-called Spirit Pills?” Master Wu slowly opened his eyes and held a significant improvement in his power.

”Yes, and stop talking. Just sit down and do as I say.”

Chen Fan closed his eyes and delivered cultivation instructions to his disciples using his arcane energy.

As soon as A'Xiu and Master Wu heard Chen Fan's voice in their minds, they quickly sat down and closed their eyes as instructed.

”What are they up to?”

Zheng Anqi asked as she noticed the strange behavior of the three sitting on the rock.

”They are resting, trying to conserve their energy. I have to say that this kids got a backbone.” Sir Jiang Junior shook his head as he said.

”Well, let's see over the next few days. They will have to come and beg our lady sooner or later.”

The leader of Zheng Anqi's bodyguards grunted.

Afterward, the group switched topics and quickly forgot about Chen Fan.

However, Mr. Shi remained suspicious of the three's strange behavior: it was as if they were cultivating. According to Dao Sect's theory, there was no better time to cultivate than when one was in starvation. It was easier to gather energy in one's system and form the Internal Energy.

After a couple of hours, the fire went out, and everyone went back to their own tent to sleep.

The next morning, the group found Chen Fan and his companions were still sitting cross-legged on the rock. However, they didn't attract too much attention as everyone was busy taking down the tents.

Chen Fan didn't open his eyes until the group was about to set off again.

A'Xiu felt a rush of exhilaration like she had never experienced before.

After one night's cultivation, she had finally reached the entry level the same level as Wei Ziqin. The internal energy flowed inside of her lent her resolution in continuing her cultivation.

”I must follow Master Chen closely, and one day, I will prove myself worthy of becoming his official disciple.”

Despite the calm and lighthearted look on Master Wu's face, his heart was filled with emotions.

After one night of cultivation under the correct guidance, he had made more progress than three years of hard work.

”Incredible! Master Chen is a human yet his skill is on par with an immortal!”

Suddenly, he felt lucky for the run-in with Chen Fan. His defeat by Chen Fan turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

With the help of the old hunter, the group pressed on without many difficulties. The lack of challenge brought out contentment, soon, Zheng Anqi and Sir Jiang Junior even started to treat the expedition as a leisure field trip. They were supposed to finish the journey in two days, but it had taken them three.

All the while, Sir Jiang Junior was perplexed by the fact that Chen Fan and his companions had survived seemingly without eating anything.

He was convinced that Chen Fan had picked fruits and wild berries when the group was not paying attention. Otherwise, he could not have survived.

On the third day, they finally reached the edge of Yin Dragon Pond. Something had spooked Hunter Zhu, and he refused to go any further.

However, no one listened to him.

As Zheng Anqi and Mr. Shi rushed toward the Yin Dragon Pond with excitement, Chen Fan stood on a small hill and looked toward the pond. He noticed a heavy mist of Yin Energy that loomed above the pond which confirmed his suspicion that this pond was a sacred land of cultivation for Yin Element cultivators.

Suddenly, a wave of loud and distressed clamors rose from the direction of the pond.

”Let's go and take a look.”

Chen Fan furrowed his brows and hurried to the pond.
