“A casually allocated wish treasure is already this powerful.”
“The Ruyi Ancient Fortress is indeed no simple matter. No wonder so many people wish to enter this place.”
“It is also no wonder that some harbour crooked intentions towards the Ruyi Ancient Fortress.”
Although Chu Feng had long known that the Ruyi Ancient Fortress was formidable, the medicinal effect of this pill still shocked him.
In fact, Chu Feng had never even heard of such a pill.
The Ruyi Ancient Fortress had existed for many years, and countless people had stood before the Ruyi Mirror.
They had all encountered treasures aligned with their hearts.
So, how many treasures lay within the Ruyi Ancient Fortress?
And what levels of treasures were they?
This was indeed a place that aroused extreme curiosity, one that could easily stir greed in the heart.
“Yu Sha, then has your cultivation advanced?”
Chu Feng asked again.
Yu Sha’s closed-door cultivation this time had been quite long, so Chu Feng felt she must have made progress.
“First Rank Venerable.”
Yu Sha said.
“First Rank Venerable?”
“You little girl, your progress is not small at all. In this light, spending so much time in closed-door cultivation was worth it.”
Chu Feng was greatly pleased.
Yu Sha’s cultivation exceeded Chu Feng’s expectations.
After all, Chu Feng himself was only at First Rank Venerable.
But for Yu Sha to reach this level was no small boost for him.
After all, Yu Sha was no ordinary boundary spirit. Her heaven-defying combat power was utterly terrifying.
But suddenly, Chu Feng’s gaze shifted.
“There is movement outside.”
“Girl, I will go out first to take a look. We can catch up later.”
With these words, Chu Feng hurriedly projected his consciousness back into his body.
Only then did he discover that the aura blocking everyone’s view had begun to dissipate.
And at this moment, Chu Feng’s figure finally appeared before the crowd.
“Who is this?”
However, after seeing Chu Feng, most people’s expressions were ones of blank confusion and bewilderment.
The person they had imagined was Lu Jie.
But the one now standing before them was a stranger.
This left them deeply puzzled, even uncertain whether Chu Feng was the one who had broken through the Hidden Gate.
“It is him?”
Yet compared to the majority’s bewilderment, some recognised Chu Feng.
For instance, Yue Yang and Chen Guang.
However, compared to others, the shock on their faces was even greater.
After all, the scene of their last meeting with Chu Feng was still fresh in their minds.
That day, Chu Feng had come at Long Xiaoxiao’s invitation. They had thought him a genius boundary spiritist.
After all, Long Xiaoxiao had praised Chu Feng to the skies.
But the final outcome had left them utterly stunned.
Chu Feng had not only been unable to release boundary power but had not even dared to release his boundary spirit.
So they had unanimously concluded that Chu Feng was merely a charlatan.
In fact, afterwards, Chu Feng’s name had repeatedly become a subject of their mockery, and they had even recounted this laughable figure to others.
Yet this laughable fellow should have been a charlatan, a waste, a useless talent.
How could such a person discover the Hidden Gate?
Though unwilling to admit it, at this point, they could not help but wonder if they had underestimated this person named Chu Feng.
If that day, he had truly encountered trouble, which was why he could not display boundary spirit techniques.
Or perhaps he was not the one who opened the Hidden Gate at all?
Maybe he had simply been lucky?
Yue Yang and Chen Guang pondered endlessly.
“He… is actually not dead?”
But compared to Yue Yang and Chen Guang, one person was no longer merely surprised but utterly frightened.
This person was Li Fengxue.
Chu Feng was not only someone he recognised, he also knew of Chu Feng’s ordeal.
That day, Chu Feng had taken the remnant spirit domain map handed over by his master.
Yet the Boundary Ghost Talisman Insect within the remnant map was a killing tool.
It was something his master had acquired at great expense, precisely to guard the remnant spirit domain map.
Anyone who dared touch the remnant map without permission would meet a grim end.
That Boundary Ghost Talisman Insect was worth such a price not for any other reason but because it was no ordinary poison. Within its body lay a boundary formation.
That boundary formation was utterly terrifying. Unless one was a Martial Venerable realm expert.
Below Martial Venerable, no one could survive entry of the Boundary Ghost Talisman Insect into their body.
“Could it be that the Boundary Ghost Talisman Insect was discovered in advance and did not enter Chu Feng’s body?”
Though in Li Fengxue’s understanding, Chu Feng should not have escaped this calamity.
But now Chu Feng stood before him unscathed, so he could only guess that Master Tang Chen had helped Chu Feng avoid the insect’s entry.
“That old thing Tang Chen truly has some skill.”
“But since he escaped that one calamity, why does this Yuan Shu still harbour such deep hostility towards me, looking like he wants to kill me?”
“This fellow holds such a grudge?”
Li Fengxue’s brows furrowed. He always felt something was off but could not pinpoint what.
“Who is this?”
However, compared to Yue Yang, Chen Guang, Li Fengxue and the others, the rest still regarded Chu Feng with great curiosity.
Their gazes were complex, some grave, some reverent, others dismissive.
The earlier exclamations and praises had thoroughly vanished.
Evidently, for Chu Feng, this stranger to them, to have opened the so-called Hidden Gate, most among them shared one attitude.
They were unconvinced.
“He is called Chu Feng.”
At that moment, Yuan Shu spoke up.
“Chu Feng? Who is his master? I have never heard of him.”
“Right, Brother Yuan Shu, you know this person, do you not?”
With Yuan Shu’s words, many immediately began inquiring.
After all, Yuan Shu, as Master Tang Chen’s disciple, was already renowned.
His strength had also gained recognition from some. People trusted his words.
“Naturally, a famous master produces a fine disciple. As for whose disciple he is, you will learn in time.”
Yuan Shu smiled, deliberately keeping it vague.
This successfully whetted everyone’s appetite.
After hearing Yuan Shu’s introduction, people’s views of Chu Feng shifted somewhat.
Whoosh,
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the depths of the Ruyi Ancient Fortress.
It was an elder clad in a coarse cloth robe.
The elder’s hair and beard were both grey.
His hair was very dishevelled, exploding outwards like a lion’s mane.
Even his beard was flared out.
Because of the hair and beard, very little of his face was visible.
Only a pair of eyes could be seen clearly.
Yet those eyes seemed filled with drowsiness, utterly listless.
His attire and appearance, at a glance, resembled a beggar.
But after this person appeared, all the juniors present simultaneously paid their respects.
Because this was precisely the master of this place, the Ruyi Elder.
