Chapter 698 - 429: 3 Hao Fur!_2
Possessing two major avatars.Wang Zhengyi feels that he is the most special.
’Moth Vine’ does not follow common logic, most likely because of him.
However, Yan Chuan looks at Wang Zhengyi, looks left and right, and still can’t see even a single ’Hao fur’ on Wang Zhengyi’s ’Alligator Beast Avatar’—
"It’s not Old Wang."
"Most likely it’s me!"
Yan Chuan ponders deeply; of course, he is special. The origins of the ’Purple Mist Palace’ in his mind are mysterious and might really be connected to the legendary ’Hong Jun Dao Ancestor.’
However, given the level of the ’Moth Vine,’ even though it’s now far above Yan Chuan, he doesn’t think it can detect the existence of the ’Purple Mist Palace.’
As for why he was treated differently—
"Two possibilities:"
"First, this ’Moth Vine’ might have some foretelling skill, can see that my future is boundless, thus killed Fu Manduo to favor me, gifted me ’Wuzhiqi,’ and also gave me three ’life-saving Hao furs.’
"Secondly, perhaps it overheard my exchange with Baili Qingfeng and learned through ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ understanding me, thus looking at me with new eyes and bestowing upon me three Hao furs, hoping that after I grow to a higher level, I will repay the favor and come back to enlighten it."
Both of these guesses are optimistic.
As for conspiracy theories—
Such as enslavement.
Such as taking over the body.
Such possibilities are not impossible.
Yan Chuan is also cautious at heart, but at this moment, he has no power, so he can only handle it carefully: "Leverage ’Derivation Skill’ and ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, and analyze the ’three Hao furs’ thoroughly as soon as possible, to know oneself and the enemy, to remain invincible."
Moth Vine!
Three Hao furs!
This may be an opportunity, or it may be a crisis, Yan Chuan cannot determine for now and can only prepare for the worst.
This touches upon the fundamental issues of life and death, freedom.
As for Fu Manduo—
...
"Fu Manduo, born of the Fu Family, disappeared at Nanyue Lake; neither seen alive nor dead, the Fu Family will definitely demand an explanation, and for this, they will spare no effort to search the entire Nanyue Lake!" Baili Qingfeng frowned.
Fu Manduo not dying is a problem.
Fu Manduo dying is also a problem.
Baili Qingfeng looked at Yan Chuan: "I’ve gained quite a few Fire Bud Crystals this time; I’m not planning to return to Nanxiong City for now, I’ll find a place to refine the Fire Bud Crystals and transform it into strength before returning."
As long as Baili Qingfeng does not appear, Fu Manduo’s death cannot be traced back to him.
But Yan Chuan.
But Chen Ze.
They are at risk!
"Since the Fire Bud Crystals are in hand, I suggest you two brothers lay low for a while. As for Fu Manduo’s death, it can be blamed on the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape—"
"War God Level bloodline!"
"Fourth Rank Beast King!"
"The identity of ’Fire-Eyed Golden Ape’ is substantial enough!"
Baili Qingfeng offered a strategy.
Yan Chuan heard this and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Qingfeng, but my junior brother and I are both just at the Innate First Layer on the surface; Fu Manduo herself was a Second-Rank Divine General, Innate Nine Layers, and also wielded a Second-Rank Divine Weapon ’Wuzhiqi,’ with combat power comparable to rank three. Even if the Fu Family investigates, they won’t trace it back to us brothers."
Yan Chuan is not in a hurry to leave.
He has the ’Star Stone,’ so long as he’s not on Moth Island, he can run away at any time if needed.
No rush.
No rush.
With the ’Fire-Eyed Golden Ape’ taking the fall, this hurdle might be passed.
...
Baili Qingfeng left.
He is reportedly not returning to Nanxiong City, planning to find a place to cultivate quietly instead, but whether or not he will secretly go back is unclear.
Yan Chuan doesn’t care.
He is now more concerned about those three Hao furs.
But before focusing on the Hao furs, he needs to divide the spoils—
...
"I got a total of one hundred and twenty-eight pieces here."
"I have another twenty-six pieces."
"I have the most."
Yan Chuan, Chen Ze, and Wang Zhengyi pooled together the ’Fire Bud Crystals’ they acquired, with Yan Chuan contributing the most: "I gained one hundred and three myself, eighty-four from the Eight-winged Centipede, and another eighty-eight which Fu Manduo kept in ’Wuzhiqi.’
Even Yan Chuan alone has two hundred and seventy-five pieces.
Along with Chen Ze and Wang Zhengyi—
"Totaling 483 pieces!"
"We’re rich!"
The trio was exhilarated.
A single Fire Bud Crystal Tree yields only about eight hundred to one thousand Fire Bud Crystals per season, and the three of them together managed to seize over half.
A bountiful harvest!
The yield was tremendous!
"It’s still Old Yan’s luck!" Wang Zhengyi looked at Yan Chuan holding ’Wuzhiqi,’ unable to help but exclaim: "’Moth Vine’ acted up, Fu Manduo died, and her ’Wuzhiqi’ just happened to fall into your lap—your fortune, it’s unmatched!"
Indeed, great luck.
But it came at the cost of three ominous ’Hao furs’ at the back of the head.
Yan Chuan felt heavy-hearted but smiled, "Exactly 161 pieces per person."
Yan Chuan was ready to divide equally.
But Wang Zhengyi shook his head: "Not to mention the eighty-something Fire Bud Crystals from the Eight-winged Centipede are mostly Old Yan’s personal gain, and pooling 483 Crystals together looks like a lot, but splitting leaves little. Instead of rigid adherence to equal division, it’s better to gather 210 pieces for you to use the Fire Bud Crystals to elevate your physique to the Sixth Rank. Then, whether in self-defense or treasure hunting, we’ll be much better off than each of us merely reaching Fourth or Fifth Rank."
Like martial arts—
Swordsmanship.
Movement Technique.
Defense.
Pursuing all means mediocrity in all.
Far better to specialize, like Ding Xiang focusing on Qinggong movement technique, Ma Hongniang concentrating on Cross Refining defense, Wang Zhengyi honing Qi Power, and Chen Ze specializing in Swordsmanship integration—
A single skill feeds you everywhere!
This doesn’t follow the ’barrel effect,’ but seeks the highest points.
Practicing martial arts is like this.
The same principle applies to current distribution—
"Us three at Fourth or Fifth Rank can’t compare to one reaching Sixth Rank first."
"Old Yan, you’ve grasped the ’Divine Light Scripture’ and ’Nine Yang Divine Skill,’ able to refine ’Divine Light True Seed’ and ’Nine Yang True Seed,’ akin to Fu Family’s ’Dragon Cauldron Towering Skill’ refining ’Dragon Cauldron,’ excelling in outburst."
"The limit of the outburst relates to the body’s strength. The greater the strength, the higher the limit it can carry."
"If you cultivate to a Sixth Rank Physique, future outbursts might even match the combat power of a Sixth Rank Divine General, not just physique alone but defense also reaching Sixth Rank!"
Wang Zhengyi’s thinking was clear: "Moreover, if you take 210, Chen Shidi and I can still split 136 each which isn’t much less than the three of us equally dividing 161."
What Wang Zhengyi said was reasonable.
Think of the ’Divine Light True Seed.’
Think of the ’Nine Yang True Seed.’
"If my physique is stronger, I can simultaneously unleash multiple True Seeds; my instantaneous combat strength might match not just Fourth or Fifth Rank but even Sixth Rank Divine General!"
’Fire Bud Crystal’ is a perfect match with ’True Seed.’
"Let’s divide it this way, I take advantage now but there will be more chances to split gains in the future, I will gradually make it up to you." Yan Chuan did not pretend and accepted with determination.
He indeed desperately needed stronger combat power, after all, those three Hao furs left him feeling uneasy—
...
"Cannot be severed."
"Cannot be pulled out."
"Growing at the back of the head, full of vitality, continuously."
Ten days later, Nanxiong City, She Family Army Camp, Yan Chuan opened his eyes, feeling another ’Divine Light True Seed’ within him, with a complex mood.
By now, ten days had passed since the ’Moth Island’ incident.
After Moth Island.
Baili Qingfeng fled far away to look for a secluded place to cultivate.
Wang Zhengyi hid both the ’Alligator Beast Avatar’ and ’Monkey King Avatar,’ also finding a place to cultivate.
Chen Ze temporarily returned to Tan Valley Royal City; on one hand to strengthen the King’s City’s power and stabilize the rear, and on the other to quietly cultivate in Tan Valley Royal City to process the ’Fire Bud Crystals’ and other treasures such as ’Wine Worm Fruit’ that they acquired at Nanyue Lake, to steadily enhance his strength.
As for Yan Chuan, honoring his promise to come to Nanxiong City She Family, in the She Family Army Camp, he lectured twelve thousand She Family soldiers on martial arts, teaching them boxing.
Meanwhile.
Yan Chuan borrowed various classics treasured by the She Family to enrich his foundation.
Cultivation was not neglected either—
"Divine Light Scripture."
"Nine Yang Divine Skill."
Both divine skills were being cultivated.
At the same time, he was researching the ’three Hao furs’ left by Moth Vine on the back of his head—
Cultivation!
Research!
In fact, Yan Chuan did uncover some insights—
...
