There were still 29 days left. If Chen Fei wanted the jade token, he could still plan slowly.

Although this mystic realm was much more dangerous than the records, there were also many good things. In the past records, if one wanted to find mystical ingredients, one had to go to the most dangerous places, such as Half Bottle Mountain.

In the end, a Zhuhong fruit appeared in a random forest.

Chen Fei opened the bag behind him and looked at the bright red Zhuhong fruit. He couldn’t help but smile.

The most ideal would naturally be to obtain three Zhuhong fruits. However, the strength of the Zhuhong fruit tree really refreshed Chen Fei’s understanding time and time again.

Previously, when the Zhuhong fruit tree killed people, it did not use much of its strength at all. It was probably just playing around. It was only until Chen Fei plotted to snatch the Zhuhong fruit that the Zhuhong fruit tree was forced to show it’s strength.

Chen Fei cast aside all other distracting thoughts and carefully observed the Zhuhong fruit.

This Zhuhong fruit was also miraculous. After Chen Fei pulled out the arrow, the Zhuhong fruit repaired itself, restoring the damaged area to its original state.

“This Zhuhong fruit is probably the same as the fruit tree.”

Chen Fei picked up a Zhuhong fruit and muttered to himself.

As far as Chen Fei knew, it was best to pick the Zhuhong fruit immediately after it ripened. Otherwise, the energy inside the Zhuhong fruit would be absorbed by the fruit tree instead. In the end, only the dried skin would be left.

After plucking the Zhuhong fruit, he had to consume it immediately.

Otherwise, every two hours would reduce the efficacy of the Zhuhong fruit by ten percent. In the end, there would only be 30% of the medicinal power left, which would be quite a waste of natural resources.

As for the Zhuhong fruit in Chen Fei’s hand, not only did it not lose its medicinal strength, but it had become even redder. The medicinal strength contained in it had always been in its fullest state.

Chen Fei looked at the Zhuhong fruit tree in deep thought, and his expression became slightly hesitant. After the Zhuhong fruit mutated, could he directly swallow it like this?

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Fei used his finger to cut open the skin of the Zhuhong fruit. Fresh juice seeped out, and Chen Fei caught it with his finger.

He didn’t swallow it and just looked at it.

The juice stopped on Chen Fei’s finger and then began to seep into Chen Fei’s skin bit by bit.

This mystical ingredient could not only be consumed orally, but it could also be slowly absorbed by the skin.

Chen Fei was worried that there would be other abnormalities with the

Zhuhong fruit. If he really discovered that something was wrong with this slow absorption method, he could immediately stop it.

The body controlled by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant could do this.

The drop of fruit juice had already seeped through more than half of its liquid. Chen Fei felt a scorching heat explode at the position of his finger. At first, it was normal, but later on, it was like putting a hand into a flame and roasting it.

Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly. This kind of heat had already exceeded the scope of mystical ingredients. Chen Fei could even see the skin on his fingers showing signs of melting.

The inner strength in Chen Fei’s meridians rumbled, trying to refine the heat at his finger, but the effect was very slow. Fortunately, the force of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant rushed over and tore the heat apart instantly, integrating it into his body.

“Hiss!”

Although this scorching energy had been torn apart, Chen Fei still felt a sharp pain the moment it fused into his body.

It was different from any pain he had ever felt. It was as if the lowest layer of his cells was being baked.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, the pain disappeared. At the same time, Chen Fei’s body felt relaxed, as if a layer of pressure had been removed.

At the same time, a warm feeling spread from the inside out. His inner strength began to become active, and Chen Fei could even feel a trace of growth.

Chen Fei looked at his finger. It had returned to normal.

Chen Fei looked at the Zhuhong fruit again. The place where he had cut it was slowly healing at this moment. If he did not interfere, it would probably recover to its original state very quickly.

“Without the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, an ordinary martial artist would have to refine the Zhuhong fruit into a pill before taking it. Otherwise, if he really swallowed one, his body would probably have dissolved,” Chen Fei muttered to himself.

This kind of dissolving was not due to the high temperature. According to Chen Fei’s understanding in his previous life, it was more like the cells in the body could not withstand the mutated medicinal power, causing the cells to collapse directly, leading to the body disintegrating.

Fortunately, Chen Fei had the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. Although he still could not swallow the whole pill, it was not a problem to swallow it bit by bit.

Chen Fei looked at the status of his inner strength cultivation on the interface. After more than a month of cultivation, under the effect of various cultivation techniques, Chen Fei had already completed more than 10% of the Marrow Tempering realm.

He wondered how much his inner strength would increase if he swallowed this red fruit.

Chen Fei threw away all other distracting thoughts and completely immersed himself in his cultivation. He did not care about what was happening outside. Chen Fei could feel the growth of his inner strength at every moment. Chen Fei’s cultivation was increasing at an astonishing speed.

Dozens of miles away.

Guo Linshan ran forward desperately. Even though there was no sound behind him, Guo Linshan still did not dare to stop. After running for an hour, Guo Linshan finally sat down beside a rock.

Sweating profusely, Guo Linshan took a few deep breaths to stabilize his breathing.

Guo Linshan still had lingering fears when he thought of what had just happened.

There were a total of five people in the Visceral Tempering realm, and one of them was a peak Visceral Tempering realm martial artist from the Big Dipper Tower who was famous for his body tempering.

The result was such a lineup. After killing the guardian demonic beast, just as they were about to pluck the spiritual herb, an earthworm rushed out from the ground and swallowed three martial artists in one gulp without any resistance.

When Guo Linshan saw the huge mouthpart of the earthworm, he thought that he had fallen into an illusion and could not extricate himself.

Otherwise, how could there be such a huge earthworm? Moreover, its speed was extremely fast. Another martial artist who was slightly closer had only run a few steps before he was swallowed by the earthworm.

Guo Linshan’s quickest reaction was to turn around and run.

Fortunately, he had been stimulated by Chen Fei’s movement technique recently. After Guo Linshan broke through to the Visceral Tempering realm, he specially went to find a movement technique to cultivate.

It couldn’t be compared to the Soul Chasing Step, but it was full of explosive power, which was quite compatible with Guo Linshan’s own characteristics. In just a few months, he had actually succeeded in his cultivation.

Perhaps it was because the earthworm had eaten its fill and didn’t want to chase after him, or perhaps it was because of something else, Guo Linshan actually managed to escape with his life.

Guo Linshan wasn’t injured, but he was badly frightened. No matter how strong his nerves were, he also sensed that something was wrong with this mystic realm.

Guo Linshan had seen demonic beasts before. It was even more normal for demonic beasts to exist in the mystic realm. However, how could earthworms turn into demonic beasts? Moreover, their bodies had become so exaggerated.

Ordinary demonic beasts were tiny compared to this.

“It’s too dangerous. I don’t know how Little Junior Brother is doing. I hope Little Junior Brother will run away quickly if he sees something wrong!”

Guo Linshan sighed. He thought of the four Visceral Tempering realm cultivators who had come with him and shook his head slightly.

In a cave.

Kuang Dingbo leaned against the mountain wall, his breathing weak. If Kuang Dingbo hadn’t moved his body, he would have been swallowed by the demonic python.

In the end, although Kuang Dingbo didn’t get eaten by the python, he was still heavily injured. If it weren’t for the soft armor he was wearing, Kuang Dingbo would have been dead already.

“Senior brother, the meat is ready.”

Yu Doushan was rolling a rabbit over the bonfire. The rabbit was exceptionally big, almost one meter long. It was unknown how it grew.

“Good!”

Kuang Dingbo watched as the oil dripped into the flames, making a sizzling sound. The fragrance of the meat seemed to soothe some of the pain in his body, and Kuang Dingbo couldn’t help but smile.

Fortunately, he had brought Yu Doushan with him. Otherwise, Kuang Dingbo wouldn’t have had the strength to run away.

“Senior Brother, here!” Yu Doushan cut a large piece of rabbit meat and walked to Kuang Dingbo.

“It’s all thanks to you.”

Kuang Dingbo relaxed and looked up at Yu Doushan. He suddenly realized that Yu Doushan’s eyes were pitch-black, like a cold lake, bottomless.

Kuang Dingbo was shocked. He was about to force himself to turn his eyes away when he felt a sharp pain in his left chest, as if his heart was being crushed.

“Bang!”

Kuang Dingbo thrust his spear forward, but it didn’t touch anything. Yu Doushan had already retreated several meters.

“Why?”

Kuang Dingbo spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper. With his heart crushed, there was no way that he could survive.

“You eat my meat, so of course 1 want to eat yours. Isn’t this fair?”

Yu Doushan tilted his head, and his pupils slowly turned red. Upon closer inspection, they looked like rabbit eyes.

Kuang Dingbo couldn’t help but be startled by Yu Doushan’s words. He looked into Yu Doushan’s eyes and seemed to understand something. Looking at the one-meter-long rabbit meat, Kuang Dingbo threw his head back and laughed. As he laughed, he coughed up blood and slowly breathed his last.

Seeing Kuang Dingbo die, a strange smile appeared on Yu Doushan’s face. He began to walk toward Kuang Dingbo.

Under the light of the bonfire, Yu Doushan’s shadow seemed to have turned into a wild rabbit, gnawing on something.

Time passed by in cultivation. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Chen Fei had finally refined a Zhuhong fruit. His inner strength cultivation had increased from 10% of the Marrow Tempering realm to 45%.

Chen Fei’s face was filled with joy as he felt the condition of his body. It was better than ever.

Not only did the mutated Zhuhong fruit provide astonishing benefits to the cultivation of inner strength, but it also tempered the body from top to bottom. The most direct manifestation was that the progress of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant had increased by a small portion.

In the past, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant could only rely on Vital Energy to improve. From this, one could see how magical this Zhuhong fruit was.

Chen Fei stood up and straightened his body slightly. The sound of his bones and muscles ringing together could be heard.

His progress in the Marrow Tempering realm had reached nearly half, saving Chen Fei several months of bitter cultivation. If he could consume those two Zhuhong fruits, even if he considered the problem of drug tolerance, Chen Fei’s realm would be close to the Visceral Tempering realm.

If he could find other mystical ingredients to consume during this period, perhaps Chen Fei would have a chance to truly break through to the Visceral Tempering Realm in this mystic realm.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei tidied up a little and decided to take a look at the Zhuhong fruit tree again.

He didn’t necessarily have to obtain it, but he could observe it from afar.

Two hours later, relying on his memories, Chen Fei gradually approached the Zhuhong fruit tree.

However, before he could see the Zhuhong fruit tree, the sound of a huge creature crushing over could be heard. A feeling of being targeted suddenly assaulted Chen Fei’s heart..
