The world outside the valley fell into deep silence. The monsters that disturbed the tranquility of the mountain had long gone, leaving only the unique harmony and calmness of the natural world.
The day is getting brighter, and the golden sunshine penetrates the lush leaves in the forest and shines into the warm cave. In the cave, the three of them sat cross-legged, enjoying the practice time under the protection of the blue sky and white clouds. Their breathing maintained a high degree of harmony and uniformity, as if they were closely related to and deeply integrated with everything in the valley.
Unknown time passed by at this moment, and finally Chen Fan woke up from the silent world full of energy. He gently rotated his neck, stood up, and took steps to stretch his joints after sitting for a long time.
The cultivation progress has been upgraded to the third level of Qi Gathering Heaven! At this new height, with every deep breath, Chen Fan felt more refreshed than ever before, as if all the fatigue in his body had been completely swept away, and his facial features were even more sensitive.
The miraculous power gave him the speed of training like a flying arrow, allowing him to soar into the sky and break through the third level of Qi gathering in one fell swoop. Standing at the entrance of the stone cave, he seemed to have the ability to talk to heaven and earth, and could sense the flow between heaven and earth. of aura.
Originally, Tian Tian ignored these weak spiritual energy emanations, but under his new level of cultivation, he was able to touch these spiritual qualities with subtle perception.
Only warriors who have reached the third level of Qi gathering have such qualifications. They can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use this power to improve their cultivation and even master martial arts more skillfully.
As his thoughts flowed, his body was as hard as steel, and his skin turned dark brown. There seemed to be a dark light flowing on the surface of the skin, giving people a familiar feeling like when using the Black Light Shield. This is his new form. , is his new fit with power.
"Huh?" Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, and he felt a little surprised.
His exploration was still in the doubtful stage, but he had to analyze it carefully to figure out that he did not use his vitality to activate the Black Light Shield.
In other words, the ink-colored shimmer emitting from the surface of his skin was purely a natural reaction of his iron martial soul reaching the second stage.
He watched for a while while facing the street, a smile of deep satisfaction spread out at the corners of his mouth. He knew that this change in his skin must be closely related to the improvement of his martial soul.
The light in the cave was already transparent, Chen Fan's dark eyes flickered in the darkness, and his eyes swept over Mu Ge and Yalan in the cave.
The two companions still maintained their final state of cultivation, sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, the vitality in their bodies, like breathing, flowing slowly according to a mysterious trajectory.
He transferred part of his magical power to Mu Ge. On the one hand, he wanted to verify whether this power could be transmitted to others in a non-touch manner; on the other hand, he hoped to inject more power into the team. He didn't know what challenges he would face on the next journey. If Mu Ge remained weak, it would undoubtedly affect his progress.
Yalan once mentioned that Mu Ge is a warrior with profound skills. If she can restore her soul, it will be a great help for their next journey.
Therefore, he decided to give her a small part of his supernatural power.
Chen Fan adjusted his breathing to the lowest level and focused his attention on Mu Ge's subtle movements. He was surprised to find that there was a steady stream of vitality spreading in Mu Ge's body.
He was slightly shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but fix his eyes deeper on Mu Ge. He frowned and took a while to sense, and then his surprise deepened:
He found that the vitality in Mu Ge's body was much purer than Yalan's. In other words... Mu Ge's strength surprisingly surpassed Yalan's!
This discovery undoubtedly broke his preset: although he knew that Mu Ge was also a warrior, he originally thought that she should be on the same level as Yalan.
After all, Mu Ge is much younger than Yalan. It stands to reason that her strength should not exceed Yalan.
However, his prediction did not hold true. In fact, he now clearly saw that Mu Ge had entered the realm of Qi Condensation alone. Her strength looks amazing. At such a young age, her cultivation level surpasses Yalan by a whole level!
While Chen Fan had a surprised expression on his face, he was sensitively aware that the energy surging in Mu Ge's body began to stabilize.
He clearly realized that Mu Ge was on the verge of awakening.
Sure enough, after a while, Mu Ge's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and then her eyes slowly opened.
A pair of intelligent and ethereal eyes are like bright lights in the deep cave, shining in the cave, like stars giving her delicate face full of vitality. Her expression is as graceful as an elf in the forest, and her unique temperament is even more Show moving people.
Chen Fan was shocked by the changes in her body and stood blankly on the spot. He looked at her blankly, as if he had fallen into a brief shock.
"Have you seen enough?" Mu Ge's voice was like gauze, and there was a hint of helplessness hidden in her beautiful eyes. She stood up gracefully, stretched her arms lazily, and said easily: "From today on, I am no longer It’s your baggage.”
A trickle of jade-like light flowed out from her pretty fingers as she stretched her body. The light flashed in the cave, like strings.
Mu Ge's long fingers trembled slightly, as if plucking a silk string, and the disappearing streams of light were revealed one by one, dancing between her green fingers.
"I need to get familiar with my symphony. After such a long period of silence, I may be a little rusty." Mu Ge smiled slightly, and the smile was as crystal clear as a stream, with a touch of charming grace in the ethereal tranquility.
"You are more beautiful than before." Chen Fan looked at her for a while and then said bluntly.
Mu Ge's meridians have been connected, and her vitality has reached the peak of condensation. As it rotates inside her body, her skin becomes brighter and cleaner, her face is smiling, the light in her eyes is bright and pure, and her indomitable spirit is full of infinite confidence. The whole person's temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
The reawakening of her power seemed to make her fade away from her past self and glow with a new charm. Her charm bloomed like a flower, several times greater than before.
At this moment, Mu Ge, in Chen Fan's eyes, is undoubtedly beyond the beauty of Yalan, Yan Ruyu and others. In terms of cultivation level and temperament, she is already superior to other women.
"Thank you." Mu Ge smiled confidently at Chen Fan, and then she asked quickly: "How long have we been here?"
"About two days." Chen Fan stroked his chin and replied, "I'm not sure, I just think we must have stayed in this cave for more than a day. How do you feel now?"
"Well, I feel very good now." Mu Ge nodded affirmatively and said firmly, "When Yalan wakes up, we can leave this place."
"Oh." Chen Fan replied very casually, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
In the past, Mu Ge, her kindness and innocence were like the cute little sister next door, cute and touching. However, now that Mu Ge has fully recovered his strength, although his charm has improved, he has lost his original tenderness, and his divine majesty is a bit daunting. This feeling... makes Chen Fan feel bad.
Because of his dissatisfaction, he did not express any more words to her, and took the initiative to leave the cave and choose to walk around in the valley.
He took out a book of spiritual-level martial arts called "Magnetic Destruction Field" from his backpack and flipped through a few pages. After confirming that the contents in the book were complete and correct, he put the martial arts back into his backpack.
The cultivation of spirit-level martial arts requires reaching the realm of status, and he is currently only in the realm of gathering energy, and is still some distance away from the realm of status. Forcibly trying to practice spiritual-level martial arts may confuse your mind and make you retreat instead of making any progress.
Knowing this, he carefully put it away after confirming that the magnetic field was correct. After a while, Yalan and Mu Ge appeared from the cave. They looked refreshed and neat, and they were obviously ready to set off.
"Boy, thank you, my realm has stabilized." Yalan said to Chen Fan with a smile.
The new realm that has just been broken through is somewhat unstable. At this time, the vitality must be strengthened as soon as possible, otherwise the realm will easily collapse due to deviations in practice and fierce fighting.
The spiritual support Chen Fan gave her in the cave helped her stabilize her new realm, allowing her to fight with peace of mind without worrying about lack of strength and the danger of going crazy.
"Okay, let's set off." Chen Fan smiled faintly, not feeling complacent about it, but led the way out of the valley.
…
Seven days passed.
Chen Fan and the three of them finally walked out of the gloomy and dense forest of dreams.
They looked back at a group of towering ancient trees, and all three of them had a shocking feeling of seeing the light of day again after experiencing life and death.
During these seven days, they did not encounter any danger of stopping.
Those warriors and mercenaries who had been in the dark forest were either fleeing or seeking death, and they no longer dared to stay in this dangerous area for long. The monster beasts led by the Thunder Winged Silver Wolf stopped moving for some unknown reason and became relatively quiet.
Both monsters and mercenaries have become relatively peaceful. Therefore, Chen Fan and the rest of their journey went surprisingly smoothly without encountering any obstacles. They easily passed through the dangerous area and walked out of the dark forest.
Next, they were going to the Merchant Alliance. This journey would inevitably pass through the Town of Silence, and on the way to the Town of Silence, there was a vast rock forest.
In that rock forest, the stones have different shapes, some are as high as hills, some are only as tall as a person, and there are many naturally formed caves, which are excellent hiding places.
In the rock forest, there are often some vicious warriors lurking, who make a living by killing people and selling goods.
The people who came out of the Dark Dream Forest were either caravans, or warriors and mercenaries who took risks in the Dark Dream Forest.
The merchants who came from far away must be carrying precious goods, and the fearless warriors and mercenaries who successfully came out of the Dark Forest must be carrying herbs from the Dark Forest and materials taken from the monster beasts.
These two types of people are valuable targets...
Therefore, in the rock forest that can hide human traces, there are always experts who live in seclusion for a short or long time. Their targets are these two types of people. As long as they feel that the target is easy to attack, they will come out to attack without hesitation.
The rock forest is sometimes more dangerous than the dark forest. People who enter the rock forest alone, unless they are warriors who have reached a high level, will almost always encounter difficulties.
"The rock forest is very dangerous. There may be people from the Ghost Palace lurking here..." Yalan advised Mu Ge cautiously.
"No problem, someone will come to pick us up in the rock forest, don't worry." Mu Ge smiled and looked back at Chen Fan, "Will you go to the rock forest?"
"Well, I am originally from the Business Alliance, so of course I will go." Chen Fan replied.
"That's good. We can still act together. You just need to stay with us. Nothing will happen to this area of the rock forest." Mu Ge was full of confidence and began to say without waiting for Chen Fan's answer: "Let's go, let us enter Rock Forest. Don’t worry, we are safe.”
"Okay." Chen Fan replied calmly, but did not relax. As soon as he entered the rock forest, he concentrated all his attention and remained vigilant at all times.
According to another memory of Chen Fan, he knew that the internal environment of Yanlin was extremely complex, containing various forces, and even large families from the business alliance were lurking in it.
He didn't know how Mu Ge prepared, but he knew that if he relaxed in the rock forest, he might be suddenly attacked.
In the rock forest, Chen Fan felt calm, his eyes calm and sharp. Every five steps he took, he would look back to check what was going on behind him.
