"What, Star God Grass?" Chen Fei was startled. The Star God Grass was a miraculous herb said to grow on meteorites in the Outer Domain Starry Sky. It did not belong to the mortal realm and should not have been found on any mountain.
"Indeed, it is the Star God Grass. Honestly, even I didn't expect it. Legend says that only beings from a higher plane of existence who can travel to the Outer Domain Starry Sky might have a chance to pick it. To think that I, Zhen Jingkong, would actually encounter it, and in that forbidden area, Moyan Mountain, of all places." Saying this, even Zhen Jingkong himself seemed to find it hard to believe.
As a treasure from outside the domain, the Star God Grass is exceedingly rare. It is utterly poisonous to a frail physical body, containing toxins that can easily rot the flesh of even an ancestor at the Primordial Core True Lord Realm. Yet, for the elusive Divine Sense, it is a treasure! It contains Star God Essence that can temper one's Divine Sense. Two entirely opposite medicinal effects reside within a single plant.
Moreover, it had another use: life extension! If one could survive the trial of its flesh-corroding poison, not only would their Divine Sense receive tremendous nourishment, but their lifespan would also increase by a century!
This was an absolute divine medicine for many old-timers nearing the end of their lives, a true lifesaver.
"Then wouldn't your body have decayed long ago? Back then, you..." Chen Fei looked puzzled.
"Yes, my body was corroded by the Star God Grass back then. But later, I was lucky enough to find a damaged Purple Copper Demon Puppet in Moyan Mountain. I took up residence in it and managed to survive. To us Array Masters, the physical body actually doesn't matter much..."
However, upon hearing this, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He found it hard to agree with Zhen Jingkong's words. To have one's flesh decay and reside in a puppet… if it were out of necessity, that would be one thing. But to do so simply to extend one's lifespan and nourish the Divine Sense, to become a half-human, half-ghost being… that's worse than death. That kind of luck wasn't worth having.
But for someone like Zhen Jingkong, it truly seemed insignificant. A strong Divine Sense and soul provided the potential to break through to higher realms of Formations. If he could successfully advance and become a legendary Great Formation Master comparable to a Primordial Core True Lord, what was such a sacrifice? For a person like him, it was completely inconsequential.
"Alright, let's go inside," Zhen Jingkong said, seeming to understand that his views differed from Chen Fei's but too lazy to argue. He gestured toward the dilapidated palace in the cave not far away. "My two Lifebound Magical Treasures are placed in that ruined palace ahead."
"Alright then." Hearing this, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, decided not to dwell on it any longer and cautiously approached the dilapidated palace in the cave.
But just as he was about to reach the palace gate, his brows suddenly furrowed and his expression shifted slightly. Is this... Not only is the palace exterior in ruins, but there are also fresh bloodstains on the ground!
"You little bastard, is that you?"
The next moment, a cold, mocking laugh filled with surprise rang out. Chen Fei's expression changed instantly, and he lifted his head to see two figures standing before the gate of the ruined palace.
The two figures were all too familiar to Chen Fei—it was none other than the brothers, Wenn Tianxiong and Wenn Yongshou! The latter was slowly walking out from the gate, a chilling smirk on his face as he looked at Chen Fei as if he had stumbled upon a delightful surprise.
Damn it, what are these two old geezers doing here? It seems they were chasing someone and just happened to barge in here. Chen Fei's face turned sour.
"Heh, I was just thinking, isn't Melsdom allied with you? Here we are, chasing him like a dog, and I never expected he'd actually come running to you for help. HAHAHA!"
At first, Wenn Yongshou simply squinted at Chen Fei coldly, but then he couldn't restrain his laughter. "In that case, you've saved me some trouble," he said grimly. "I hope you're prepared, you little bastard."
"Ready? Ready for what?" Hearing this, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, narrowed his eyes and asked.
From Wenn Yongshou's words, it isn't hard to deduce that they were chasing Melsdom here. So the bloodstains I just saw on the ground must be his, right? Has Melsdom already fallen into such peril? With Wenn Tianxiong being a Peak Late Innate Ancient Martial Artist and Wenn Yongshou a Qi Refining Sixth Layer Cultivator wielding Low Grade Magic Artifacts, Melsdom alone stood no chance against them. It's not just Melsdom; even I would have no problem against either one of them alone, but now both of them are here...
Chen Fei's gaze shifted from Wenn Yongshou to the exceptionally large Wenn Tianxiong nearby, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly. He noticed that there were still traces of wet blood on Wenn Tianxiong's fist.
As if sensing Chen Fei's gaze, the towering Wenn Tianxiong also smiled coldly. "Yongshou, you go chase that old thing. This little bastard is mine. It seems he's quite interested in me..."
As his words fell, Wenn Yongshou burst out laughing, his face full of mockery and scorn. "Big Brother, with your strength, don't you think fighting him is a bit like bullying?"
