254 Tao Ming Visits Again

Aloy patted Shen Fei’s shoulder and grinned, “With the jade pendant, it’ll be much easier for us to communicate in the future.” 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

Shen Fei laughed. “It’s good that you like it. Oh right, you said that you have something to do. What is it?”

Aloy hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s not a big deal. My father is holding a banquet and he’s inviting all the known heroes of the city. So, I’m preparing to leave for Yunhai City tomorrow.”

“You want to go to this banquet?” Shen Fei was stunned.

!!

“That’s right!” Aloy nodded. “My father invited you to come along. After all, we’re engaged!”

“Alright, then!” Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders. He did not dislike getting to socialize with others.

Moreover, it was a good experience to be able to make friends with the new generation of the Yunhai Kingdom.

Shen Fei suddenly thought of something and asked, “I remember that you have an annual beast taming ceremony where you hunt ferocious beasts for points, right?”

“Of course, my father said that this is to train us,” Aloy said with a proud smile. “There are three people in our generation who have reached 10,000 points. You can give it a try. You might be able to get a few thousand points.”

Shen Fei laughed. “Alright, I’ll sign up for the beast taming ceremony tomorrow as well.”

“The beast taming ceremony is on the day when the martial arts ceremony is held, so I’m leaving first.”

“Take care!” Shen Fei watched as Aloy left. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

…

That night, Shen Fei sat alone in the courtyard and closed his eyes to cultivate.

All of a sudden, an extremely vigorous energy burst out from Shen Fei’s body, like a flame. His eyes opened, and his face revealed a look of joy. Then, he stood up and ran toward the training room, eager to try out the strength of a martial ancestor.

A deafening crash came from the training room. The strength of Shen Fei’s punches and kicks were unpredictable, and his speed was extremely fast. It was like a ghost flashing, making it impossible to defend against.

In the training room, Shen Fei’s fist swept out, piercing through the air and creating a long trench in the ground. At the same time, a huge amount of sword-rays shot toward Shen Fei’s chest. His expression remained unfazed, and Shen Fei sidestepped with his right leg and kicked away dozens of sword-rays.

The training room started to shake. Shen Fei’s figure moved, and in an instant, he appeared in front of the training room’s door. His left fist smashed out. The training room immediately collapsed, gravel rolled down, and dust flew.

Shen Fei slowly retracted his fist and muttered, “My physical strength has increased by about fourfold.”

Shen Fei’s eyebrows flickered with joy as he continued to mutter, “With the Illusory Spirit secret technique, my strength will definitely rise to another level.”

Thinking of this, Shen Fei immediately sat down cross-legged and used the Illusory Spirit secret technique. In an instant, a gust of wind blew across his face, disturbing the spring water nearby.

The strong wind swept through the room, and all the tables and chairs in the training room were overturned. Shen Fei opened his eyes, and an excited expression appeared on his face,

“My current strength is almost comparable to an Emperor-tier Beastmaster!”

The Illusory Spirit secret technique could not only assist in attacks, but also improve the body of the cultivator. Most importantly, the Illusory Spirit secret technique could also temper the soul, blood essence, bones and muscles, greatly increasing the efficiency of cultivation.

‘As expected of a peak Saint-tier cultivation technique. It’s so powerful!’ Shen Fei thought.

Right then, he heard a knock on the door.

“Who is it?” Shen Fei asked.

“It’s me, Uncle Tao Ming.”

When he heard the familiar voice, Shen Fei opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Tao Ming stumbled and fell in, looking embarrassed.

“Uncle Tao, what’s wrong?” Shen Fei quickly helped Tao Ming stand up.

Tao Ming’s body was covered in wounds. His clothes were tattered, and his hair was a mess. He looked like a beggar.

Tao Ming wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed helplessly as he looked at his arm.

“Uncle Tao, come in! I’ll help you heal.” Shen Fei pulled Tao Ming inside and walked into the training room. He took out the ointment and asked Tao Ming to take off his clothes to let him check the wound.

Shen Fei’s brows twitched as he asked in surprise, “This is… a wound left behind by a spirit beast’s fangs or claws?”

“Sigh…” His uncle sighed. “It’s not a spirit beast, it’s a demonic beast. We ran into a high-grade demonic beast tonight. Luckily, I got away quickly. Otherwise, I would have lost my life there.”

“A high-grade demonic beast?!” Shen Fei was shocked.

“Luckily, I have a spirit weapon to protect myself. Otherwise, I would have died a hundred times over,” Tao Ming said bitterly.

High-grade demonic beasts were terrifying, especially those that lived in groups. Their combat strength was extremely terrifying.

Tao Ming suddenly thought of something. “By the way, I found your father, Shen Teng. He’s in trouble, but we didn’t manage to return together.”

“What’s wrong with my father?” Shen Fei hurriedly asked.

“Don’t worry, he’s safe and sound.” Tao Ming chuckled.

Shen Fei let out a sigh of relief and then asked, “Uncle Tao, what kind of beasts did you encounter there?”

“Divine Warrior Dragons and a group of Five-patterned Armored Lions. Luckily I was alert enough to escape with your dad, but I got slightly injured,” Tao Ming said.

“There were Armored Lions?” Shen Fei frowned. He had heard from his father long ago that there was a Seven-patterned demonic beast in the area, and that it was monstrously strong.

“Why are these beasts in the depths of the Hunting Grounds?” Shen Fei was puzzled.

“There are ruins of strong men in this area. It’s said that there are treasures in the ruins, which has attracted many men to seek them.”

“But… That place is too dangerous, and it’s crawling with Emperor-rank beasts or higher. Unless one is an Emperor-tier Beastmaster, it’s hard to fight them.”

Tao Ming shook his head. “Your father and I wanted to go into the ruins to take a look, but…”

“I see…” Shen Fei nodded. He knew that Tao Ming was telling the truth.

The depths of the Hunting Grounds were too dangerous. An Emperor-tier Beastmaster alone would not be able to handle it.

“By the way, I heard that… someone managed to bring a treasure from the ruins,” Tao Ming said after some hesitation.

“Oh? What treasure?” Shen Fei’s brows twitched.

“It’s said to be a spirit herb,” Tao Ming said.

...

‘Spirit herbs!’ Shen Fei’s eyes lit up.

“I’ve discussed it with your father. We’ll go in after a while,” Tao Ming said. “This news about someone finding spirit herbs inside hasn’t been made public yet. I only heard about it by chance,” Tao Ming said.

“Uncle Tao, what grade is that spirit herb?” Shen Fei asked.

“I’m not sure about the details, but it should at least be above the five-patterned tier,” Tao Ming said.

“If I can get my hands on this treasure, it will definitely be worth a lot!” Shen Fei said excitedly.

“That being said, your father and I don’t even dare to go into the ruins yet, so I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible.

“Your father said that we’re just there to join in the fun. It’s already good enough that we can find a spirit crystal,” Tao Ming said.

“Spirit crystals?” Shen Fei was stunned.

“Spirit crystals are refined from high-grade magical beast cores. They contain a large amount of spiritual energy and are very expensive. Their prices are beyond anything ordinary people can afford.

“Also, spirit crystals contain special powers. When cultivators use spirit crystals in their cultivation, the effect is much better than a spirit-gathering pill,” Tao Ming explained.
