Chapter 1527: Tempering
Chapter 1527: Chapter 1527: Tempering
Two enemies settled together, Qi Hao weighed the Storage Bag in his hand, knowing there wouldn’t be much.
After cleaning the battlefield, they continued forward, yet the three behind were still following? What did this mean?
That shouldn’t be the case; the two of them had Foundation Establishment cultivation, while the ones behind were three Golden Core cultivators.
They couldn’t have recognized them as brothers — that was intriguing mainly because they were so ordinary.
The two brothers leisurely enjoyed themselves, catching two rabbits at the foot of the mountain, and roasted meat that evening.
Their siblings didn’t like such food, but the two of them could enjoy it.
There were plenty of seasonings their mother had prepared in the space, and soon the aroma floated out.
“These low-level beasts really have no appeal in terms of eating.”
“I have better ones here.” Qi Xuan took out a piece of meat.
The Spiritual Power in the meat of a Seventh Rank Demon Beast was indeed abundant.
The two enjoyed their meal heartily. The three in the shadows still made no move.
This was of no concern to them; once they were fed, they released the Fourth Rank Array Plate and went inside to rest.
This Defensive Array was one their mother had given them to isolate Divine Sense.
Outside, you simply couldn’t buy or even see this kind of Array Plate; they couldn’t believe the three wouldn’t be tempted.
But the two brothers were truly mistaken; nothing happened overnight.
This was inconsequential, so they continued their journey onwards.
Two days later, they arrived at Wolong Mountain. It too was quite famous, with beasts inside of not low levels and plenty of Spirit Plants.
The two brothers were in no rush; the Spirit Plant levels outside were too low. They really lacked nothing.
It could be said that the resources in their hands were the pinnacle existence in the Starry Realm. Mostly, they were focused on cultivation, rarely using them.
Throughout their journey, there wasn’t much to gain, and they left the low-level beasts alone.
They had a reason for existing; as long as there was no attack, they wouldn’t slay them.
The two brothers encountered a Fifth-rank Black Bear inside.
The two quickly dealt with it. The three behind were utterly shocked.
These two cultivators definitely weren’t early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators; it was impossible to deal with a Fifth-rank Demon Beast so swiftly.
The Black Bear, with its thick skin and flesh, being a Gold Attribute beast, was indeed a formidable presence among Fifth-rank Demon Beasts.
The reason they followed them was that the City Lord valued their Elixirs and, hearing how knowledgeable the two were about Elixirs, suspected they might practice Alchemy.
To an ordinary city, Alchemists were an incredibly scarce presence.
Along the way, observing the two’s actions truly made them feel these weren’t ordinary cultivators.
Qi Hao transmitted to his brother, “Ahead, there’s a Spiritual Power fluctuation; there might be something good.”
“Shall we deal with the three behind us?”
“There’s no need.”
Qi Xuan was indifferent. The three saw the two suddenly disappear in front of them, wondering what had happened? They quickly came over but discovered nothing special.
The three Golden Core cultivators wandered nearby, still finding nothing — that couldn’t be right, could it?
The two brothers entered the Natural Array, seeing a fruit tree inside, with fruits resembling little dolls.
“What is this?”
Both brothers shook their heads, “Really don’t know, never seen it before.
Let’s just take it; if mom and dad don’t know, Second Brother surely will.”
As Qi Hao spoke, he intended to pick a fruit, actually trying to lure out the hidden Seventh Rank Demon Beast.
Before his hand touched the fruit, a Water Sword shot over.
Qi Hao dodged quickly, revealing the Seventh Rank Green Snake.
Qi Xuan looked at it, “Your cultivation is not easy; we want half the fruits and seven branches.”
The Green Snake raised its upper body, flicking its tongue, “Fine, take them, but don’t appear here again.”
Qi Xuan nodded, “No problem, this is a Natural Array; few can enter here anyway.”
Qi Hao started to pick, putting ten into a Jade Box, with a total of eight Jade Boxes, leaving three in one box.
Seven branches were snapped and stored in the space.
The Green Snake did not move at all, while the two brothers felt a bit embarrassed.
Before leaving, they tossed it a Body Tempering Fruit. It was a valuable item, and the Green Snake quickly collected it, watching them leave.
The two brothers saw the three cultivators outside the Array; they stuck the Invisibility Talisman on to avoid causing trouble for the Green Snake.
The three did not notice, and the brothers moved behind them. “You three have followed us all this way, what exactly are you looking for?”
The two did not reveal themselves, and the three Golden Core cultivators jumped in surprise.
They looked back warily. Only then did the brothers appear.
“What do you mean by this?”
“Where did you go just now?” In an instant, he felt the fluctuation of Spiritual Power.
“We were here the whole time.”
Qi Hao spoke while removing the Invisibility Talisman.
This made the three feel a surge of excitement; what kind of treasures did they have? There might have been sightings of Invisibility Talismans, but these seemingly lacked any Spiritual Power fluctuation, truly unseen before.
Greed often makes one lose reason. All three were tempted.
Without a word, they attacked directly. Qi Hao was encircled by two cultivators.
They had just become Golden Core; while familiar with spell and swordsmanship, they lacked practical experience, and this was certainly an opportunity.
The two led the three away from the Array to avoid causing harm.
Qi Hao’s Swordsmanship was exceptionally fast; within a quarter hour, he slew one, hastening their actions to avoid drawing too much attention here.
Once the three Golden Core cultivators were dealt with, suddenly, a light appeared; instinctively, the two concealed themselves.
They watched the white light, “What is it?”
Both shook their heads. When the light dispersed, they quickly collected the Storage Bags, tidied up, and swiftly left the area.
The Haoran City’s City Lord was enraged, smashing a table; the three Golden Cores represented twenty percent of Haoran City’s number.
There was no trace of the culprit just now. Who could it be? It must be Qingshui City’s doing, it must be.
He did not even contemplate that it would be two Foundation Establishment cultivators, casting all blame on Qingshui City.
The two brothers left Wolong Mountain cheerfully and strolled ahead.
While resting at night, the brothers took out the fruit inside the Array.
“What exactly is this?”
“Why not taste it to find out?”
Each took one, finding the texture surprisingly good, without any seed.
After eating, they chuckled, but the smiles faded soon as their faces flushed red.
Qi Hao immediately unleashed an Eighth Rank Array Plate, as the Spiritual Power within them seemed eager to burst out.
They tirelessly broke through the cultivation barrier, knowing advancement was the only choice now; otherwise, such an overflow of Spiritual Power might rupture their bodies. They dared not use the Spirit Gathering Array; the Spiritual Power within couldn’t be expended.
After three days, both advanced to the Golden Core Fourth Layer, looking rather disheveled, but they had returned to their true appearances.
The two laughed excitedly. “What a find. Third Brother, did you plant it?”
“I did. We’ll give some to mom, and the long-armed ape should be able to cultivate it exceptionally well.”
