Chapter 813 Peculiar Race (1/2)
“You’re welcome. Your condition has stabilized. However, the grade of the fire earlier is simply too high. Its power of destruction is too formidable. There are some fire poison remaining inside your body. In order to fully recover, you will have to properly focus on recovery efforts in the future,” Chen Feng said.
“Unfortunately, I can no longer continue exploring this planet. If I stay, I will only end up becoming a burden to everyone.” Tie Yuan shook his head as he struggled to sit up.
“You can always just come again.” Feng Jian comforted him.
Next up, they divided the items stored within the grotto-mansion. After that, they worked together to set up a small teleportation array to send Tie Yuan back to the large-scale teleportation array on Eternal World.
“Although Senior Brother Tie was wounded in the end, we managed to gain a considerable harvest. This many Immortal crystals will be enough for our cultivation needs for quite some time,” Feng Jian said.
“Yes. Unexpectedly, I would be able to get a million Immortal crystals. These are Immortal crystals we’re talking about here. Normally, whenever I link up to the Immortal Plane, the immortal energy I absorbed would be insufficient for my cultivation needs. Due to that, I had to use Sacred crystals, causing my cultivation rate to become slow. Now that I have these Immortal crystals, my cultivation level will surely rise up quickly,” Hu Xian’er said happily.
“Junior Brother Chen, why did you choose the branch instead of Immortal crystals?” Lan Ling cast a puzzled look at Chen Feng.
When they were dividing the items earlier, Chen Feng had chosen not to take the Immortal crystals. Instead, he chose a fiery-red branch. The power of fire flowed within it and it seemed as though the branch itself was made from fire.
Although they could see that the power of fire within it was strong, they did not think that it was as valuable as the Immortal crystals.
Chen Feng was the only one who believed otherwise. As someone born in the Longevity Clan, he possessed some level of understanding towards the situation within the various Celestial Planes. Due to that, he was able to realize that this branch was from the Skyfire Clan’s Divine Skyfire Tree. It was on the same level as the Longevity Clan’s Longevity Tree. Those trees were the roots and foundation of the various clans.
In other words, the value of this branch was similar to that of a branch from the Longevity Tree.
Hearing that, they shook their heads. It didn’t matter if Chen Feng was telling the truth or not. For them, what they needed most were Immortal crystals, not a tree branch of unknown origin and functions.
“Tower, this branch contains the essence laws of the Divine Skyfire Tree. If you devour it, it should prove useful, right?” Chen Feng secretly asked Tower.
“It’s not too useful. The biggest issue here is that this branch is too small. Not to mention, it is just the end part of a branch. You should keep it and absorb the power of fire inside it.” Tower rejected it.
Chen Feng then pondered for a moment before saying aloud, “The old man from earlier is still alive, neither did he leave this planet. I fear that he will attack us again. I suggest that we either leave this grotto-mansion or return to Eternal World. Or, do you want to take a gamble and go search for his other grotto-mansions?”
“Other grotto-mansions? That’s right! That old man must surely have more grotto-mansions. If we can get even more Immortal crystals, that would be great.”
“However, I fear that it will be dangerous.”
“The path of cultivation is full of dangers to begin with. This is a good opportunity. We can give it a go. Besides, we might not be able to find it.”
“Makes sense.”
“In that case, let’s move out!” After quickly coming to an agreement, they all split up to search around. They would quickly contact each other the moment they found something.
Using various methods, they quickly left each other’s line of sight. Chen Feng’s eye technique was activated and his gaze kept scanning his surroundings. However, after spending a few days on it, he was incapable of finding anything.
Planet Voidsoul was simply too big while the old man’s grotto-mansions were well hidden. Thus, finding them was quite difficult.
Even so, that did not discourage them. At any rate, they had come here to train themselves and explore Planet Voidsoul. While searching for the grotto-mansions, they also encountered other things. Some encountered monsters, dangerous terrain and some encountered the hostile cultivators from the other Holylands.
Despite that, all of them shared the same thought. Unless absolutely necessary, they will not summon their companions over.
Ten days quickly went by and they finally received a summon from Chen Xing’er.
By using their Sensor Talismans, they were able to quickly find Chen Xing’er. She was hiding at the bottom of a remote valley. Contrary to what they were expecting, there were no fights around her.
“Hide your auras!” Chen Xing’er hastily sent them a secret vocal transmission.
Shocked, they quickly hid their auras as they cast puzzled looks at Chen Xing’er.
“What is it? Did you find the grotto-mansion?”
“I didn’t find the grotto-mansion. However, I saw something peculiar. Look there.”
Following Chen Xing’er’s finger, they quickly saw a bunch of human figures standing not far away.
The reason they regarded them as human figures was because these fellows were very different from the cultivators that they would usually encounter.
Their number was quite high, at least 100 of them. Some were wearing animal hides and some chose to go bare-chested. Some were skinny while some were highly muscular. And yet, every single one of them radiated formidable power.
At first glance, Lan Ling’s group had assumed that they were a bunch of barbarians worshipping some holy object.
