"I have left a mark on him. When we escape from this underground palace, we can find an opportunity." Chen Fei made a firm decision; he had just left a mark on Li Yuan.
No matter where the opponent is, he can be found.
"Good!" Zhen Jingkong nodded.
"Lord, please forgive me. I was careless. I didn't expect this person to be able to take out such an exotic treasure like the Puppet Suppressing Talisman. If not for this, they would surely have been unable to seize the corpse of the Demon King." At this moment, Ji Xing said somewhat apologetically.
The Demon King Corpse was a formidable expert of the Minor Heavenly Position Primordial Core Realm when alive, and he had an extraordinary background and formidable talent. Now, it's been taken by Li Yuan and that obviously evil group! It's likely to cause many troubles in the future.
Moreover, those people have learned quite a few secrets about Chen Fei.
"Commander Ji Xing, you needn't blame yourself. I have already left a mark on him. Given the opportunity, with your strength, Commander Ji Xing, it would be easy to seize back the Demon King Corpse from them." Chen Fei waved his hand and smiled.
"Lord, you left a mark on those people? When?" Ji Xing expressed surprise upon hearing this, as even he hadn't noticed Chen Fei's action, let alone the opponent.
However, he then suddenly shook his head, said with a bitter smile, "But Lord, in the short term, I'm afraid I can't be of any help."
"Hmm? Why?" Chen Fei was taken aback and asked. The Scarlet Sky Army was currently his most solid card, yet Ji Xing said he might not be able to help in the short term?
How could this not change Chen Fei's expression?
"Lord, my apologies."
Seeing Chen Fei's expression, Ji Xing naturally understood what Chen Fei was thinking and immediately offered a slightly apologetic explanation, "The scarcities after hundreds of years have actually depleted us, the Scarlet Sky Army. I am only able to slightly operate because this legacy space contains some energy seeds that we had buried during our slumber; if we were to leave this space, I'm afraid that I too would fall into slumber like my brothers."
Chen Fei was momentarily speechless and then smiled bitterly, "Then what should be done to restore your strength? Spirit Stones? Millennium Spiritual Milk?"
"Anything will work!"
Ji Xing chuckled, "Lord, at the peak of our Scarlet Sky Army, we had ten commanders, ten squads, totaling one thousand and eighty brothers! But back then, although we defeated the Demon King, we suffered heavy losses... Now, there should be six or seven hundred brothers left."
At this point, Ji Xing's tone suddenly became somewhat low. Although his position had long familiarized him with life and death, this topic was still somewhat too heavy and distressing.
Chen Fei paused and said, "Commander Ji Xing, don't worry. In the future, if there is an opportunity, I will let the Scarlet Sky Army regain their peak glory, unmatched in power."
"Hopefully, there will be such a day." Ji Xing slowly said and continued.
"Lord, I've roughly calculated that if we want the brothers of the Scarlet Sky Army to fully revive, at least, it would require the spiritual energy reserves of an entire earth-level spirit vein of spirit grade." He then seemed somewhat embarrassed as he said.
"How much?"
Chen Fei's expression instantly became peculiar.
The reserves of an entire earth-level spirit vein of spirit grade... are you sure this isn't a joke!?
"An entire earth-level spirit vein of spirit grade; it might be a bit much, but the number shouldn't be too far off."
Ji Xing repeated, making Chen Fei hear it clearly.
"I..." At this moment, even Chen Fei couldn't help but feel speechless, barely resisting the impulse to curse. While others might be extravagant, they at least only asked for spirit stones or millennium spiritual milk, yet Ji Xing and the Scarlet Sky Army demand the reserves of an entire spirit vein!?
This is simply a bottomless pit!
Even if one were extravagant, this isn't the way to do it, right?
Now, Chen Fei finally understood why cultivating an elite and formidable force like the Scarlet Sky Army would be so daunting.
In fact, factions in the Outer Domain could potentially cultivate such a force, but in reality, very few actually put it into practice. Almost none.
No way, the consumption is simply too terrifying, even a major force would likely feel their scalp prickling when hearing Ji Xing's words just now.
Fortunately, he was lucky; previously, he found an earth-level spirit vein of spirit grade in the new site of Enlightened Deity Cave! The energy reserves of this spirit vein are at least hundreds of times those of a human-level spirit vein of spirit grade⦠Otherwise, how could it be called the long-standing prosperity of sects?
"Lord, if you find it somewhat difficult to acquire such an amount of spiritual energy, perhaps you could revive the Scarlet Sky Army brothers squad by squad."
Ji Xing likely realized as well that this isn't the same as before; obtaining the reserves of an earth-level spirit vein of spirit grade is incredibly challenging for a cultivator at the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm like Chen Fei!
Thus, it's unlikely that the Scarlet Sky Army can fully revive in the short term.
But he still has confidence in Chen Fei. Beyond the astounding combat ability that surpasses levels, it's also his equally remarkable gift in the Alchemy Dao; as long as Chen Fei advances to a high alchemist rank... Have you ever heard of an alchemist suffering from a shortage of spirit stones?
That's unlikely; it isn't a problem.
"I'll figure it out. Commander Ji Xing, can the Scarlet Sky Army remain within the Octagonal Mystic Tower for now?" Chen Fei followed up.
"Octagonal Mystic Tower? Is that the name of the fifteen-layer prohibition golden magical treasure? It is possible, but there is a better option."
Ji Xing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and said:
"A better choice? What is that?" Chen Fei asked in confusion.
"Our Scarlet Sky Army's military talisman. Before, in order to maintain the stability of this underground palace, I placed that military talisman in the deepest part of the palace. Now that you have received the inheritance of our Scarlet Sky Army, this underground palace no longer needs to exist," Ji Xing said with a smile. "Although that military talisman is not as impressive as your golden magical treasure, it is the best thing for our Scarlet Sky Army to rest within. Whether sleeping or waking, it can maximize its use."
"Is that so?" Chen Fei's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "Then should we go and retrieve it now?"
Having such a secret treasure is certainly a very good thing.
"Wait." But at this moment, Ji Xing spoke again.
Chen Fei paused slightly, looking at him, waiting quietly for his follow-up words.
"Your Majesty, did you previously break through during combat to reach the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm?" Ji Xing asked, looking at Chen Fei.
"That's right. Earlier, Zhul Xing ambushed me, giving me a lot of pressure, and I broke through in an instant," Chen Fei nodded and said.
"Then, since that's the case, do you want to start focusing exclusively on cultivating the unique technique of the late Scarlet Sky Lord β Scarlet Sky Thunder Cloud Technique?"
Ji Xing looked at Chen Fei, eyes blazing, and said. It turned out to be about this matter.
"Scarlet Sky Thunder Cloud Technique?" Chen Fei paused upon hearing this, dazed: "Is this the cultivation method of the Scarlet Sky Lord from back then?"
"Correct, this unique technique of the late lord is divided into two parts: the thunder technique and the cloud technique. If one can successfully cultivate it to completion, one can reach the realm of Mystic Heaven Position Essence Pill True Lord! Back then, in the inner region, many people wanted to obtain this cultivation method of the late lord," Ji Xing said with a reminiscent expression, sighing.
"Able to cultivate to the Mystic Heaven Position Essence Pill Realm... In that case, this Scarlet Sky Thunder Cloud Technique should be a King Level cultivation technique. As expected of the revered Scarlet Sky Lord, it's important to know that even in the inner region, King Level cultivation techniques are no more than ten," Zhen Jingkong said in astonishment.
Above Mystic Heaven Position, also known as the realm of Primordial Core True Lord!
So, cultivation methods that can reach this level are collectively called King Level cultivation methods, and even in ancient sects and hidden holy lands, they are regarded as the highest skills.
Their value is immeasurable!
So it's no wonder Zhen Jingkong has such a sigh at this moment.
After all, even he himself back then, did not have the qualification to come into contact with such supreme skills!
And now, will it actually appear in front of him in such a manner?
Instantly, Zhen Jingkong's heart felt a bit complicated. But obviously, he didn't even consider that Chen Fei might refuse.
But next, in the very next moment, Chen Fei actually shook his head, smiled, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Commander Ji Xing. However, I think I won't be using this cultivation technique."
King Level cultivation technique?
Although the Scarlet Sky Thunder Cloud Technique sounds quite powerful, can it be compared to those peerless great achievements in his mind?
Clearly, the answer is inevitably negative. So he doesn't plan to cultivate this so-called Scarlet Sky Thunder Cloud Technique.
After all, for any cultivator, cultivation methods are absolutely fundamental, the core, and the utmost priority!
So if he currently has a better choice, he will obviously make a clear decision.
"What?"
However, his words and his attitude of refusal directly left Zhen Jingkong and Ji Xing stunned.
The latter was dumbstruck, looking at Chen Fei, stammered, "Your Majesty, what did you just say? I didn't quite hear clearly."
Obviously, how could he really not hear clearly?
It's just, he really couldn't understand and found it hard to believe that Chen Fei would actually refuse a King Level cultivation technique? Does it mean that his inheritance has already surpassed the Scarlet Sky Thunder Cloud Technique!?
"Commander Ji Xing, there's no need for the Scarlet Sky Thunder Cloud Technique, I have a better choice, however, perhaps we can help find a suitable cultivator for this technique," Chen Fei said, touching his chin, thinking of Cang Kun.
This Scarlet Sky Thunder Cloud Technique with its elements of thunder and cloud might be quite suitable for Cang Kun, who has now awakened the bloodline of the ancient ferocious beast β Black Water Thunder Fish! It's possible.
Upon hearing this again, Commander Ji Xing finally heard Chen Fei's words clearly. He actually didn't hear wrong just now?
His face twitched, looking at Chen Fei with a complex expression, eyes flickering, filled with a faint shock.
Say nothing else, just having the confidence and qualification to refuse a King Level cultivation technique, such courage is something even Ji Xing can only admire.
Reflecting on the past, in his memory, whenever a King Level cultivation technique appeared, it was always accompanied by bloodshed, shaking the entire inner region. But now? Chen Fei unexpectedly refused in such a straightforward manner, this...
