Chapter 51: Chapter 47: The Plan

Chu Zheng's purpose for coming here was to glimpse this ancient battlefield.

Now, he had achieved his goal.

Finding the remaining two fragments of the Condensing Space Bracelet, this place had little to offer him in the short term, so naturally, there was no need to stay any longer.

Fu Quanliang stared at Chu Zheng for a moment, then turned to look at the miners and ordered, "Descend into the mine!"

The cultivator of the Spirit Spring Realm did not look at Chu Zheng, as if his presence was merely a formality, then turned and left.

Before long, there was no one in front of the tents.

Fu Quanliang was silent for a moment, then transmitted his voice, "I didn't see it coming; you are a saint after all, with such a kind heart. Why didn't you think of these yesterday when you killed Ji Feng?"

His tone was not without sarcasm, but Chu Zheng remained unmoved and shook his head, "This is not kindness, just a different stance."

"I don't think those Han Family disciples did anything wrong. They see themselves as immortals, born with Immortal Bones, and do not regard these mortals as their kin; even to suck marrow and blood can be understandable."

"But I am just a mortal, not an immortal, there are some things they can do, but I cannot."

"As for Ji Feng... it was he who did not consider himself human."

Fu Quanliang seemed to be touched, stared at Chu Zheng for a long time, and asked in a deep voice, "Then in your view, which category do I fall into?" Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"You are my best partner," Chu Zheng responded without hesitation.

This response sounded a bit strange, and after pondering for a while, Fu Quanliang seemed to understand.

"Enough, just three days. I will cover for you temporarily. After three days, you leave here, back to Illusory Spirit City."

Fu Quanliang took a deep breath and reminded again, "Don't forget what you came here to do."

Chu Zheng's actions were too bizarre and incomprehensible, which sometimes made Fu Quanliang reflect on why he had believed Chu Zheng's words initially.

As an odd-jobber, Chu Zheng wanting to leave wouldn't be retained by anyone. For Fu Quanliang himself to leave required more effort as he had just picked sides, the time to show loyalty.

Any issues at this time would lead to internal and external conflicts, and might even attract targeted hostility from the Han Family.

"I said I would help you destroy the Phantom Spirit Sect, and I will make it happen," Chu Zheng affirmed.

Chu Zheng's lips curved slightly as he picked up an iron pickaxe and walked slowly towards the mine tunnel.

The significant matters he intended to undertake were not just limited to the present Phantom Spirit Sect; he aimed to overturn the entire Immortal Path.

Whether it be the Martial Path or Qi-refining Technique, both could grant mortals the ability to break their shackles.

Regardless of the elusive nature of the Martial Path, Chu Zheng currently held a shocking trump card in his hands, the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline.

This method of cultivation had no restrictions like the Immortal Bone, any person could cultivate it, and once it spread to the world, it would bring a tremendous revolution.

The Qi-refining Technique could completely overturn the current world and rewrite heaven and earth anew.

If that day ever came, the name Chu Zheng, along with the Qi-refining Technique, would be eternally etched into history.

But until he had enough power to protect himself, this technique must not be revealed.

For this world, the Qi-refining Technique was far more fearsome than his ability to repair things.

...

...

The deaths of Ji Feng and several others did not cause any ripples, the news was suppressed immediately.

Even though his great-grandfather was a so-called Outer Sect Elder, his death was still deemed insignificant, garnering no attention whatsoever.

In the days that followed, a new batch of odd-jobbers arrived, and the people in the mines already numbered over a thousand, split into several large groups; every day, they extracted heaps of ore.

Chu Zheng roamed the ancient battlefield all day long, searching for fragments of the Condensing Space Bracelet. He tried to use the Qi Observation Technique as an aid to find Qi similar to that of the Condensing Space Bracelet, but he ultimately failed.

The ancient battlefield was filled with chaotic Five Elements Qi, too disordered to organize. However, unexpectedly, through Qi Observation, Chu Zheng did find an extremely valuable treasure.

[Five Elements Shaping Pill (Fourth Order): Harvested from the Five Elements Qi, supplemented with White Tiger Claws, Azure Dragon Scales, Black Tortoise Armor, Vermilion Bird Feathers, and Qilin Blood of the Five Sacred Elements, refined over three years to form a pill, can shape the Five Elements Primordial Body; its efficacy is nearly exhausted due to age. Repairable (0/500)]

This treasure pill was discovered in the dantian of a corpse, evidently consumed but undigested in time, so it was placed within the dantian and thus preserved through the great battle.

Luckily, the pill was still intact, though its potency had almost completely dissipated; however, the number of repairs it needed was not too many.

If this Shaping Yuan Pill could be restored to perfect condition, Chu Zheng could replicate what the corpse did, placing the treasure pill in his dantian to aid his cultivation. On one hand, he would use the Five Elements Primordial Qi to transform yin and yang; on the other, he would prepare for the formation of a Golden Core as a False Pill.

Spirit Transformation, Jade Bone, Dao Embryo, Golden Core.

In terms of cultivation levels, Qi Refining Golden Core could match the power of an Immortal Path Divine Infant Great Ability, possessing divine skills to move mountains and fill seas.

"This trip was not in vain."

Chu Zheng exhaled a breath of relief, his mood greatly uplifted.

This Five Elements Shaping Pill was truly beneficial for his cultivation.

Chu Zheng arrived at the center of the battlefield, tapping on a skeleton and listening to the echoes passed down from ancient times.

The closer he got to the center of the battlefield, the stronger the pre-death cultivation of the skeletons, Fifth Order being common, with the occasional Sixth Order skeleton.

[Nameless Corpse Bone (Sixth Order): Belonged to the Netherwolf Tribe in life, cultivation had reached the Transformation Realm, died from a stab to the back of the heart without any precautions, killed by a surprise attack, the Primordial Spirit has dispersed, irreparable.]

Chu Zheng halted his step. This appeared to be a humanoid skeleton, but it belonged to the Netherwolf Tribe, likely a Great Demon that had transformed.

Clothless, either stripped or never worn, only bare white bones remained; judging from the skeleton, it seemed to have been a woman.

Chu Zheng glanced a few times, then his gaze suddenly sharpened, stepping forward to gently pry open the tightly clenched hand of the corpse. A few silvery-white phalanges clutched tightly onto a large fragment of Remnant Jade.

After struggling for a long time, Chu Zheng, drenched in sweat, finally retrieved the piece of Remnant Jade.

He took out two fragments from his chest, and the three pieces, fitting snugly together, formed a large semicircle, missing a piece about the size of a thumb.

[Condensing Space Bracelet (Sixth Order): A Spatial Spiritual Treasure, broken into four pieces during the great battle, linked to a realm in an Alien Realm. Once repaired, it can re-establish connection. Gathering all parts makes the repair much easier, repairable (0/1000)]

Another fragment.

Chu Zheng did not know whether this Condensing Space Bracelet belonged to the woman from the Netherwolf Tribe, but he thought that even if it did not, it must have been extremely important to someone close to her.

Chu Zheng stood up, walked a few steps, then suddenly turned and walked back, quickly removing his outer robe and covering the skeleton.

"I will not take your bracelet for nothing."

Chu Zheng muttered softly, stuffing the fragments of Remnant Jade into his chest, striding towards the cave entrance.

Fu Quanliang had taken care of everything for him, the Flying Boat would arrive today.

They could not leave at the same time, Fu Quanliang had to stay a while longer before he could find an opportunity to return to the Illusory Spirit City.
