Novel Bin Chapter 217 - 217 The Mirage Mist Pool
The purple chalcedony was a rare spirit liquid. If Shen Fei’s spirit beasts were to consume this liquid, they would be able to strengthen their bodies. It could even increase the density of their bloodlines.
Although the effect was minimal, it was still a massive gain. Purple chalcedony was so rare that it was highly coveted, and would be targeted by powerful men with spirit beasts of various bloodlines.
There was no such thing as a free lunch, and yet Shen Fei managed to obtain such a precious item from the sable.
“This guy is too lucky!”
Seeing this, the students all became extremely envious, each of them wearing their own looks of jealousy.
“Is the sable dead?”
Xia’er and the other students then widened their eyes in disbelief as they stared at the Purple Sable’s ashes.
The sable had seemed so powerful earlier, how did it die so quickly with just a flick of Shen Fei’s finger?
Shen Fei shook his head and sighed. “What a pity. The sable actually wasn’t that weak.”
He was acting like this on purpose; he was showing that this sable was already dead the moment Shen Fei set his sights on it—it was prey.
Hearing this, Xia’er’s eyelid twitched. “What…? Teacher Shen, you killed it?”
Wu Peng and the others gulped and he asked, “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake, Teacher Shen?”
“Take a closer look for yourself.”
“Huh?”
The students looked over. They found that other than being charred, the sable’s abdomen showed no injuries. Everyone was surprised by this. There was not even an entry or exit wound.
Even Yang Xiaoxuan could not help but ask, “Shen Fei, what’s going on?” She felt strange.
“I only attacked its internal organs, nothing else,” Shen Fei indifferently replied.
Hearing this, everyone thought to themselves, ‘The internal organs… Did he use his internal energy to crush them?’ This seemed very difficult.
After all, the Purple Sable had amazing defense; how could its defense be broken by ordinary martial skills?
Then, Shen Fei said, “Let’s keep moving.”
“Okay!” Everyone nodded and continued on.
…
A cliff eventually appeared before them. A ghostly wind whistled below.
“This is the place where we will be conducting the assessment,” Yang Xiaoxuan said excitedly when she saw the cliff.
A student’s gaze burned intensely as he looked around and said in a low voice, “It’s rumored that there’s a purple-patterned mystic Ganoderma. It’s said to be a key herb. If you manage to pick it, it’ll be of great help in purifying your bloodline.”
“A purple-patterned mystic Ganoderma?”
Shen Fei’s eyes lit up. He did not expect a purple-patterned mystic Ganoderma to be related to this assessment. To him, the purple-patterned mystic Ganoderma was a rare treasure. If he were to consume it, it would have a huge effect on him. Thus, after surveying the situation at the bottom of the cliff, the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
“Let’s go down the cliff and take a look. Maybe we can find other spiritual resources!”
“Yeah!” The students nodded and climbed down the edge of the mountain in high spirits.
Shen Fei also took a step forward and leaped into the air. He landed on some stone steps and swiftly climbed up to the peak.
This cliff was extremely steep. Every cultivator should exercise caution here. Otherwise, they would fall into the abyss if not careful.
Shen Fei’s body floated as he stepped on air and glided away like an immortal.
When they saw this scene, the girls exclaimed, “He’s so handsome!”
Xia’er’s followers shrank back.
Charles gritted his teeth, his eyes clouded with envy. “This guy…”
Wang Xiaoya, who was beside him, frowned. “Xia’er, what’s wrong?”
“I’m fine.” Xia’er waved his hand. He then followed Shen Fei and the rest and leaped down.
When Shen Fei and the others traversed the cliff, a streak of light shot across the sky. The light landed on a platform in the distance.
This place was surrounded by fog, and hazy silhouettes appeared within. In the hazy light and shadow, a vast forest could be vaguely seen before everyone’s eyes.
This place was the Mirage Mist Forest, and there were many demonic beasts here.
Within the Mirage Mist Forest, the towering trees grew so tall that they went into the clouds. As far as the eye could see, this place was filled with towering ancient trees and dense branches.
Moreover, the entire region was shrouded in a spiritual mist.
Everyone gazed up at it, eyes filled with infatuation. “What a magnificent forest!”
A young man was especially looking forward to such a beautiful sight.
When everyone landed, Shen Fei said in a clear voice, “There’s a lot of miasmas in here, so be careful.
Immediately, everyone nodded. “Yes!”
Shen Fei swept his gaze in all directions. His sharp eyes flickered as he turned. When he used his spiritual sensor, it covered the entire Mirage Mist Forest.
“Let’s go!” Shen Fei took the lead and walked in front of the group.
“This brat’s strength has increased somewhat, but he’s too arrogant!” Seeing this, Charles frowned.
This forest was extremely dangerous. Even complete primordial heaven cultivators would not dare set foot here.
But Shen Fei had been so arrogant recently. It made Xia’er sneer in his heart.
Unknowingly, he had caught up with the group.
“Come on, let’s go in as well,”
...
Seeing this, Zhang Yu, Wu Peng, and the others hesitated for a moment before following him.
The Mirage Mist Forest was filled with miasma, there were many dangers here, and no one dared to advance carelessly.
“There’s more miasma here. Everyone, take out your poison repellent pills, or your water repelling pearls,” Yang Xiaoxuan said as they came to a giant tree.
Hearing this, everyone took out a poison repellant pill and ate it.
This anti-poison pill was specially made by the academy and had the effect of repelling evil and impurities. They were specially made for new students.
However, these medicinal pills could only deal with ordinary demonic insects.
“Such dense spiritual essence!” After taking the pills, Wu Peng, Zhou Fan, and the others all revealed looks of joy.
“Yes.” Yang Xiaoxuan nodded. Then, she took out three bottles of elixirs and handed one to Shen Fei. “This is a water repelling pearl, take it!”
“Thank you,” he said. Shen Fei gave her a small smile and accepted the pill. He then took out the water repelling pearl and swallowed it. Then, they continued to walk inside.
…
“Howl!”
...
Along the way, all kinds of wolf howls were heard, filled with a ghastly aura. The howls belonged to the Mirage Mist Wolf, a higher-grade Emperor-rank spirit beast.
They were bloodthirsty and brutal, and posed a threat to any cultivator’s training. They were not above sneak attacks, especially on more senior student cultivators.
Along the way, the group was attacked several times. Many of the students were injured, and some were even coughing up blood.
People were starting to feel terrified.
…
Not long after, they were nearing the top of the mountain. This place was full of trees and rich vegetation. At the peak of the mountain, there were two caves.
Yang Xiaoxuan’s eyes narrowed and she said, “The Mirage Mist Pool is at the peak of this mountain!”
“Mirage Mist Pool?” Hearing this, Shen Fei was a bit surprised.
He explained to the students, “There is a lot of spiritual essence in the pond. Not only does it have all kinds of spirit essences, it also has a trace of the Divine Mirage Mist Vine!”
