Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Chu Yuan did not disappoint Xi Yu as expected;

When he arrived nearby, the strange phenomenon had already subsided, and apart from a deathly silence, not a single ghost could be seen...

Xi Yu cursed inwardly, but at the same time he knew that if he didn't fight desperately today, he probably wouldn't be able to leave.

The other party used spatial containment techniques; relying solely on flight, it would take a lifetime to shake them off!

He suddenly turned around and slashed his long sword at his pursuer...

.......

Chu Yuan then casually hid Lan Feng in a spot in a mountain forest;

He could naturally see Xi Yu and the powerful figures chasing Xi Yu within his divine sense;

Just as they were about to take action, a report from Li Hong suddenly came from within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner:

"Master, he confessed."

Chu Yuan was taken aback: "What move did you make?"

"Your question concerns the egg..."

"...The child is dead and you're here to nurse it? Keep hitting it!" Chu Yuan was speechless. The Mist Beast Egg had already been sold, what's the use of confessing now?

"yes!"

"Wait... let's talk about it first."

"...The treasure that Master inquired about is called the Egg of the Mist Beast;

Ji Ping obtained it by chance during an exploration. Knowing that he was not capable of cultivating it, he decided to offer it to the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds in exchange for some cultivation resources or exemption from paying tribute for some years.

This egg has caught the eye of a powerful expert at the fourteenth realm, and has already been registered in the Heavenly Palace of Clouds..."

Chu Yuan sneered: "No wonder you dare to be so unruly... So you're hoping someone will avenge you?"

"Master, his will is almost extinguished;"

I learned some other information from it, which I've already compiled... but nothing very important, mostly related to the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds.

"Understood." Chu Yuan nodded, not in a hurry to receive the information;

He planned to go and support Xiyu first;

Although the two didn't have much of a relationship, it seems that Xi Yu... hasn't implicated him yet?

At this moment, Lan Feng timidly spoke up: "My lord..."

"Um?"

"I...I'm hungry..."

"..."

I was careless; Lan Feng still needs to eat...

Chu Yuan rummaged through his storage bracelet and found quite a few edible items, but they were all pills.

If Lan Feng were to eat this, it would probably explode with a bang... unless he helped refine it;

However, it doesn't need to be that complicated.

He randomly summoned a vengeful spirit from the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls and gave it instructions;

He then said to Lan Feng, "Go find something to eat; it will protect you."

He tossed out another booklet, a cultivation manual he had casually collected in Kanli Sky City: "Also, if you cultivate according to this manual, you won't be hungry anymore."

Before the other party could speak again, he vanished...

......

Lan Feng stared at the hideous spirit floating in front of him, feeling waves of chilling aura constantly eroding him.

He mustered his courage and said, "Y-you...hello..."

The vengeful spirit had long been stripped of its will and only knew how to carry out orders, so it naturally wouldn't respond to him and would just stand there quietly.

"I am Lan Feng..."

"......"

After many unsuccessful attempts to communicate, Lan Feng finally gave up.

He walked deeper into the mountains and forests, hoping to find some fruit and water.

There's no escaping it; this powerful man's servant is keeping a close eye on him...

We need to hunt some meat. We don't need to worry about whether we can defeat the beasts. The key issue is that he doesn't know how to cook it. Does he expect us to eat it raw?

Fortunately, this mountain forest seemed to be rarely visited by people, and Lan Feng saw an orchard not long after he left;

Because no one was picking them, there were even piles of rotten fruit at the bottom of the orchard...

He swallowed hard, jogged a few steps forward, picked one, and popped it into his mouth.

In the shadows, a succulent, emerald-green snake stared coldly at him, about to attack, when suddenly a wisp of black energy entered its eye socket, and it fell silent...

Lan Feng discovered that this fruit was magical; he was full after eating just one.

And there was a warm current coursing through his body... He was familiar with this feeling; he used to eat it every few days when he was in Hong'an City.

Spiritual Fruit?

He was somewhat puzzled. According to what he knew, wherever spiritual fruits grew, there were either powerful martial artists or powerful exotic beasts guarding them.

But why is it so quiet here?

Lan Feng looked around warily, but after a while he didn't find anything.

He gradually calmed down, picked a fruit, and placed it in front of the vengeful spirit: "My lord, would you like some?"

"......"

The vengeful spirit naturally ignored him again;

Lan Feng stopped insisting. After eating and drinking his fill, he took out the booklet Chu Yuan had given him and began to cultivate.

Fortunately, he recognized all the characters on it;

Although he hasn't started practicing martial arts yet because of his young age, the royal family has already subtly instilled some basic martial arts knowledge in him, so he doesn't find it difficult to understand.

With his eyes closed, in just a moment, the first wisp of energy was drawn into his body;

"Is this what a martial artist is?" Lan Feng opened his eyes and looked at his clenched fist. He felt that his strength had increased.

"How could it be so simple... no, it's the effect of the spiritual fruit?"

He excitedly picked many more spiritual fruits and ate them with great relish;

A warm current accumulated and expanded within his body... By the time Lan Feng realized something was wrong, it was too late!

He felt as if a massive volcano, about to erupt, was sealed inside him!

He could be blown to pieces at any moment!

His face turned ashen, and he hurriedly began to cultivate according to the instructions in the manual... but it was no use!

The weak traction and low absorption efficiency of the Blue Seal Technique during its operation are like trying to use a straw as a rein for a tiger!

Not only is it useless, it will also be torn to shreds in an instant...

A violent fear welled up within me;

"Am I going to die...?" Lan Feng's consciousness slipped into unconsciousness...

Looking at Lan Feng lying quietly on the ground, his skin squirming as if rats were scurrying about;

A hint of inner turmoil flickered in the vengeful spirit's eyes!

There is a supreme command that instructs it to protect Lan Feng's life at all costs... The consequences of disobeying this command are far more severe than the destruction of one's soul!

But what should we do now?

There are no enemies, no external dangers, and protecting the target is almost killing itself... It doesn't know what to do.

The vengeful spirit's pitch-black pupils flickered, and wisps of black smoke billowed from its body;

After a long time, before Lan Feng breathed his last, it finally reached out a hand and placed it on Lan Feng's shoulder...
