With the Wind Phantom Technique, it was difficult for even a peak Visceral Tempering realm cultivator to discover him. Qu Jintai believed that it should be more than enough to fool a Marrow Tempering realm cultivator. From this point, Qu Jintai believed that he was already in an invincible position.

In the end, he didn’t expect that Chen Fei’s arrow would almost blow his belly out before he could even threaten him. If it weren’t for his brilliant movement technique, he would probably be dead by now.

It was this arrow that destroyed all of Qu Jintai’s illusions. He could only hope that Chen Fei would disappear as soon as possible.

Fifteen minutes later, Qu Jintai discovered that Chen Fei had appeared on another branch and was looking down from above. While Qu Jintai cursed Chen Fei for being cunning, he desperately circulated the Wind Phantom Technique to hide himself even deeper.

Qu Jintai decided that he would hide like this until night to prevent Chen Fei from suddenly appearing.

Qu Jintai was already scared out of his wits by Chen Fei!

Chen Fei didn’t find Qu Jintai, so he threw the matter of Qu Jintai to the back of his mind. It was just a martial artist with outstanding concealment techniques. It would be fine if the other party did not move. As long as he moved, he would actually be discovered by Chen Fei.

Thus, this kind of person posed very little threat to Chen Fei. The margin for error was too low. If the other party made a mistake, he would pay the price with his life.

Chen Fei looked at the two jade tokens in his hands. Next, Chen Fei needed to obtain three more jade tokens. If he did not pursue them after that, he could completely hide and wait for the one-month deadline to arrive. Then, he would complete this mission.

The fifth stage of the Origin Connection Technique had already been completed, and the legacy disciple mission was completed. Chen Fei only needed to return to the sect and pass the test of temperament, and he would be able to obtain the legacy of the legacy disciple with the identity of the Marrow Tempering realm.

When it came to cultivation techniques, the stronger the better. Chen Fei did not mind eliminating the Origin Connection Technique so early and replacing it with a stronger legacy cultivation technique.

However, if there was a chance, he could still accumulate some jade tokens. After all, he did not know what was going on with Guo Linshan.

“Hmm?”

Chen Fei was just about to leave to take a look at the Zhuhong fruit tree when he suddenly stopped.

Chen Fei looked at his body in confusion. He felt that there was a fluctuation emitting from his body.

Chen Fei looked for the source and took out the two jade tokens in surprise. The fluctuations were actually coming from here.

“If the metal plates are gathered together, will they transmit information to the outside?”

Chen Fei was a little stunned. No one had told him this news before, and there had never been such a saying in the records of the true inheritance trial.

Unless this was specially added for this trial?

Chen Fei recalled Wu Guangyin’s words before they set off. He told them not to cling to the experience of their predecessors and to judge the situation. Previously, Chen Fei had always thought that he was talking about the changes in the environment in the mystic realm.

Now that he thought about it, it was likely that part of it was about the changes in the metal plate.

If there were too many of these metal plates, they would transmit information to the outside world, and the receiver would probably be the other metal plate holders. This was to encourage everyone to compete with each other and the strong prey on the weak.

At that time, even if he wanted to find a place to hide, he would probably have to split the jade tokens sufficiently.

No, if this reform was to make the legacy trial more stringent, as time passed, as long as one had an jade token, they would be able to sense each other within a certain distance.

If he really found a place to hide it, the others would probably take it away based on their senses.

Chen Fei looked around. He wasn’t sure if there were other people spying on him. He put away the metal plate and dealt with it later. Now, Chen Fei wanted to take the Zhuhong fruit even more.

The Zhuhong fruit tree was very dangerous, and so was the python. However, the Zhuhong fruit that was clearly there made it difficult for Chen Fei to give up.

Now that the martial artists there had been scared off, Chen Fei had enough time to think of a proper way to see if there was a chance to get those three Zhuhong fruits.

The Zhuhong fruit could increase one’s inner strength cultivation. What Chen Fei lacked the most was his own cultivation.

Chen Fei carefully returned to a hundred meters away from the Zhuhong fruit tree. There was no longer any trace of blood on the ground. It was unknown whether it had been absorbed by the soil or swallowed by the Zhuhong fruit tree.

The python did not move at all, as if it had lost its life. It did not move at all, not even the slightest fluctuation.

Chen Fei looked at the three Zhuhong fruits and frowned slightly. He wanted to use the same trick again and shoot the three Zhuhong fruits away.

However, the fruit was not an jade token. The jade token could withstand such rough treatment, but the fruit would probably shatter immediately if the arrow hit it.

Chen Fei wanted to eat the Zhuhong fruit and did not want to destroy them.

Destroying it would only enrage the python.

Of course, if Chen Fei successfully obtained the Zhuhong fruit, the python would also be furious. However, at least Chen Fei had obtained what he wanted. The python’s anger was naturally a consequence that he could bear.

Moreover, if the Zhuhong fruit were as tough as an jade token, Chen Fei’s arrow would find it very difficult to penetrate it. It was difficult for the python to block the arrow, but the branches of the Zhuhong fruit tree could do it easily.

Just now, the branches of the Zhuhong fruit tree had displayed their strength and sharpness. It was very easy for them to set up an inescapable net. Although Chen Fei’s arrows were fast, it was impossible for them to pass through silently.

“Silently?”

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Chen Fei’s mind. Suddenly, he paused on this word.

If the movement of the arrow was small enough for the Zhuhong fruit tree to not sense the threat, it might really be able to hide from the Zhuhong fruit tree’s perception.

However, the faster the arrow was, the louder the noise. The sound produced by the arrow rubbing against the air was actually very ear-piercing.

Chen Fei’s archery skills were not bad, but he had not cultivated it to the point where he could shoot fast, yet there was no sound.

There must be such archery, but Chen Fei had not had the chance to come into contact with it.

Chen Fei took out a jade pendant from his pocket. It was the Wind Concealing Bow. Chen Fei did not learn it, but the jade pendant could help Chen Fei hide the wind. Chen Fei looked at the jade pendant in his hand. This all-purpose half-spirit tool seemed to be coming in handy again.

Hide your killing intent, hide your movements, and soften the force of contact!”

The request went through Chen Fei’s mind. In the next moment, the jade pendant emitted a faint light that enveloped the three arrows in Chen Fei’s hand.

In the next moment, Chen Fei opened his eyes. The Thousand Thread Technique circulated wildly, and Eternity Moment took effect on his body. Everything around him slowed down.

Chen Fei saw the branches of the Zhuhong fruit tree flutter, and the leaves on the branches tremble slightly. He even saw the trace of the wind.

Tremendous Strength, Iron Bones!

A powerful force filled Chen Fei’s body. This allowed Chen Fei to control the bow and arrow in his hand with greater ease.

“Buzz!”

The bowstring vibrated. The three arrows did not make any sound as they silently arrived in front of the branches of the Zhuhong fruit tree.

The Zhuhong fruit tree trembled slightly as if it had sensed something. Its branches began to exert strength, wanting to attack the enemy. However, the Zhuhong fruit tree did not discover any enemies, and its branches could not help but sway.

“Bang!”

The three Zhuhong fruits were in different positions, so the order of the arrows was slightly different. The first arrow hit the leftmost Zhuhong fruit, but it did not explode. The arrowhead gently pierced into the flesh and then instantly flew out of the sky with the Zhuhong fruit.

“Buzz!”

It was as if a giant had suddenly become enraged, and a terrifying aura swept out in all directions. Before the second and third arrows could touch the Zhuhong fruit, they actually paused in mid-air for a moment.

Following that, the branches of the Zhuhong fruit tree instantly blocked the arrow and crushed it into powder in the blink of an eye.

Chen Fei felt dizzy, but he immediately recovered with the help of the Thousand Thread Technique.

Chen Fei stomped his right foot on the ground and rushed forward crazily.

The branches of the Zhuhong fruit tree spread out and struck the first arrow, but it only hit the air. Although the arrow had also stopped for a moment, it had flown for a distance after all. This moment of pause was ultimately unable to stop it.

Chen Fei also disappeared from where he was and quickly chased after the arrow.

The arrow still had the power left behind by the jade pendant. Chen Fei could sense the position of the arrow.

“Boom!

Chen Fei sprinted for dozens of meters. Behind him came the loud sound of a python getting up. At the same time, there were dozens of branches waving in all directions, smashing through the air and smashing the ground.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Chen Fei. At this moment, Chen Fei was following his senses and quickly rushed towards the location of the arrow.

In less than ten minutes, Chen Fei found his arrow on a treetop.

Chen Fei revealed a smile on his face and his figure flashed. He jumped onto the treetop and picked up the arrow. Looking at the red fruit on it, his eyes lit up slightly.

Just as he was about to reach out and pluck the Zhuhong fruit, Chen Fei looked behind him. A huge commotion was coming from there. Chen Fei was too familiar with this kind of movement. This was the result of a python charging around.

“He actually chased after me. Is he relying on the connection between him and the fruit?”

Chen Fei was a little puzzled, but he did not dare to delay. He circulated the Soul Chasing Step at full force, and his body turned into a phantom as he ran into the distance.

No matter what kind of induction it was, as long as the distance was far enough, it could be blocked.

Chen Fei did not stop for a quarter of an hour before the commotion behind him gradually disappeared. It was unknown if the python had lost its sense of the system or if it had given up.

Chen Fei jumped onto the treetop and looked at the sky and the surroundings.

There was day and night in the mystic realm, which was exactly the same as the time outside. Chen Fei did not plan to spend the night in the dense forest. This dense forest did not give Chen Fei a good feeling, as if he was being spied on.

This kind of spying wasn’t just limited. No matter where Chen Fei ran to there seemed to be someone watching him.

Chen Fei had tried to search for it, but he could not find the source.

Since that was the case, he might as well go out and find a safe place to spend the night. Otherwise, he would be frightened for the entire night.

Before night fell, Chen Fei found a cave.

This cave was probably the place where demon beasts lived in the past. There was still a lot of excrement inside, but it had already dried up like a stone. Perhaps it was this smell that had caused this cave to be abandoned until now.

Chen Fei carefully checked the inside and outside of the cave. After confirming that it was safe, he summoned the wooden cabinet in the spatial grid and took out some food. At the same time, he placed the two jade tokens directly into the wooden cabinet.

The metal plates could sense each other. Since Chen Fei did not want his position to be determined, it was undoubtedly the safest to put the metal plate into the spatial grid.

As for not being able to sense others, what Chen Fei needed to do the most now was to refine the Zhuhong fruit. At this time, it was naturally best not to be disturbed..
