Chapter 464: Three Days, Heading Deep Into the Flying Dragon Mountains

All of this happened in just a fraction of a second.

Both sides exchanged blows. In the blink of an eye, there was already an outcome.

The middle-aged man withdrew, a serious expression on his face. He ceased attacking.

Chu Yunfan said, “That was only one move. Aren’t you going to continue attacking?”

“No, I’m worried that someone will come and fish in troubled waters. From that one punch, I can tell that you’re at least at the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage, young one. There’s no need for any further testing,” the middle-aged man said with a smile on his lips.

The crowd started to react. Chu Yunfan had been super steady just now. He had blocked an attack from the middle-aged man who was at the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage without moving an inch. He was indeed powerful. Chu Yunfan looked like he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he had such terrifying strength.

“Could this fellow be a student of one of the top ten famous universities?”

“Not necessarily. He might be a descendant of some aristocratic family.”

“Sigh, comparing people is really infuriating. He’s so young, but he’s already at the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage. Doesn’t that mean that it won’t be long before he steps into the Acquired Stage?”

Many could not help but feel extremely depressed when they heard this. They had risked their lives for dozens of years and were only at the Energy Refinement Stage. Although there existed geniuses in this world, it was still very depressing for them to meet one.

After passing the test, Chu Yunfan joined the provisional team. The team was made up of all kinds of people and everyone was on guard.

Chu Yunfan leaned against a corner of the wall, observing the crowd while silently circulating his Emperor Method. He made use of every minute and every second to cultivate. He still had on the four-fold gravity. And in the Arctic Desert, he had to constantly activate his True Energy to protect his body.

Thus, the invisible consumption of Chu Yunfan’s True Energy was quite severe. If he had not cultivated the Imperial Physique which had an extraordinary recovery ability, he would not have been able to hold on.

......

Chu Yunfan’s gaze swept over the people present. There were nearly 200 people who wanted to enter the mountain range. Among these people, even the elites had to look to the Warwind mercenary group for instructions. Everyone here was well-trained, but they were helter-skelters.

Other than these people, the disciples of the Medicine King Sect were also very eye-catching. However, Chu Yunfan sensed a weird vibe from them. Other than the female disciple in the lead, the others were quite strange.

As Chu Yunfan listened to the chatter around him, he learned the name of the female disciple—Tian Miaomiao. Although he felt that it was a little strange, it did not have much to do with him. His main goal was to enter the mountain range to find the Sky Gathering Grass and then refine the Blood Origin Pill. His strength would then welcome a further breakthrough.

The Flying Dragon Mountains were extremely dangerous. According to the advice in the encyclopedia, if one was below the Acquired Stage, it was best not to enter. And even if one was an Acquired Stage expert, it was best not to enter alone as the danger factor was extremely high.

That was why Chu Yunfan chose to enter the mountain range with this team. Although he was confident in himself, it would be far less dangerous if he were to enter the mountain range with a team.

Soon, the team set off for the Flying Dragon Mountains. After entering the mountain range, everyone started talking less and they all became more vigilant, Flying Dragon Mountains were not within the territory of the Federation. In other words, it had not been developed on a large scale yet, and as such, there were many extremely powerful monsters hiding within. Even Innate monsters had been seen roaming around. That was truly terrifying.

After entering the mountain range, the Medicine King Sect disciples and the many people who relied on them began to search for medicinal herbs. As for the Warwinds and the hired help like Chu Yunfan, they stood watch and kept their eyes on the surroundings in case they were ambushed by any powerful monsters.

Chu Yunfan walked back and forth as he kept a lookout, and at the same time, he was keeping an eye out for the Sky Gathering Grass.

The group headed deep into the depths of the Flying Dragon Mountains. Every time they had traveled some distance, they would stop for a bit to allow the Medicine King Sect disciples to pick herbs.

Meanwhile, Chu Yunfan was wandering the outermost part of the group to expand the scope of the search. The Warwinds did not object to this. It was good for someone to keep a lookout at the periphery.

As they entered the depths of the mountain range, the real test came. They were a huge team and were made up of elites at the Energy Refinement Stage or above. Ordinary monsters would naturally not dare to approach. However, there were still monsters that attacked in groups.

In just a few hours, the team had already encountered several waves of attacks. There were some monsters that hid deep in caves and some that hid underground. There were also monsters that were hung on trees which made them very difficult to spot.

In just a few hours, there were already a few casualties. Chu Yunfan too had encountered a sudden attack from a monster. However, he had not panicked and swiftly dispatched the monster.

This made the mercenaries look at Chu Yunfan in a new light. It was not that they had never seen disciples from famous families. It was just that those people were usually all just for show. Although they were powerful, their actual combat experience was very poor. When these people encountered unexpected situations, they would often be flustered and they could very well die.

However, Chu Yunfan performed as if he had been through hundreds of battles. In the blink of an eye, he had killed the monster that had suddenly leaped out of the ground and attacked him.

“As expected of a disciple from a famous sect. He’s so powerful.”

Chu Yunfan found it funny. These people looked down on disciples from famous sects, but once someone performed well, they would often be classified as a disciple of a famous sect. However, he paid no attention to the chatter. He just followed the team and continued to move forward.

As time passed, they obtained more and more medicinal herbs. Of course, they killed many monsters along the way as well. The carcasses of these monsters were taken away by the Warwinds. According to the agreement, the monsters killed along the way were their spoils.

After all, the Warwinds were here as guards because they could gain benefits.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
