Chapter 1042 1002: Journey to Ghost Wolf City

The palace interior fell into silence, with everyone's eyes fixed on Muf Leiyun. The gaze held an inexplicable meaning, mingling and flickering, making the atmosphere somewhat peculiar.

"Lord Zhu, regarding Tuoba Bo's matter, I have no desire to repeat myself! It was his own lack of vision that led him to gamble, losing the Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame and even his life. Who can he blame? People have been dead for months already, do you still seek explanations from me, Lord Zhu, hmm?"

Facing the strange gazes of the crowd, Muf Leiyun slowly spoke. The person targeting him with indirect remarks was named Zhu Zhen, a formidable cultivator at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, closely connected to the Tuoba Family.

Previously, Tuoba Bo lost the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart in a gamble, along with his life, causing the Tuoba Family to be infuriated upon receiving the news! After all, how precious is that Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame? They've long regarded it as a private asset of the Tuoba Family!

The family heirloom was fine in Tuoba Bo's possession, but now that Tuoba Bo died mysteriously and the Exotic Flame was lost, how could the high-ranking members of the Tuoba Family not be outraged?

Later, tracing subtle clues, they suspected Muf Leiyun's involvement, confronting him, but Muf Leiyun, having accepted 'favors' from Chen Fei, stubbornly kept silent…

At the time, the Tuoba Family still didn't know Muf Leiyun's background; upon seeing his non-cooperation, they flew into a rage, secretly sending experts to capture him, seeking to interrogate him harshly.

Seeing things spiraling out of control, Muf Leiyun had no choice but to expose his trump card.

He discreetly used a Communication Talisman to notify Li Dongquan, who personally went to the Tuoba Family to retrieve him!

Finally, everyone realized that Muf Leiyun was actually the grandson of the Vice President of their Floating Immortal Pavilion's Earth Martial City Headquarters!

The Tuoba Family had unknowingly captured the grandson of their Floating Immortal Pavilion Headquarters' Vice President! Such an incident?

Later understanding the gravity of the situation, the Tuoba Family swallowed their pride, pinched their noses and apologized in person! Bringing an exaggerated reparation, causing quite a stir.

In the end, Muf Leiyun accepted the compensation, turning a big deal into something small, making it dissipate. However, the matter of Tuoba Bo's Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame being seized was left unresolved. Despite their resentment, the Tuoba Family was indeed helpless.

Given Muf Leiyun's background, they were already at a disadvantage, what could they do?

Upon hearing, Zhu Zhen's face changed slightly, seemingly angry that Muf Leiyun, merely at the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, dared speak to him in such a manner.

But remembering the other's astounding background, he remained silent. Headquarters' Vice President, he couldn't provoke.

"Alright, alright, that previous matter is already past, no meaning in further arguing."

Observing the scene, Li Dongquan shifted the topic, saying: "As for Jianng Pill King, we'll try to look for them… let's do our best, but just don't hold too much hope. Because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

"Yes! Lord Dongquan."

The hall resonated with a loud response. Everyone answered in agreement.

Muf Leiyun, on the other hand, appeared slightly distracted, with a peculiar expression and seemed lost in thought.

"Under fifty, Fourth Grade Alchemist… shouldn't be much of a problem for him, right?"

...

In the center of the Earth-level Spirit Vein of the Spirit Grade deep within the Enlightened Deity Mansion.

Chen Fei sat cross-legged in the densely packed realm of spiritual energy, surrounded by the Qi of Purple Firmament, robust and astounding. After a long time, the strong waves emanating from him began to converge, making him wholly contained…

"Phew, finally restored my state." He then exhaled a murky breath and murmured to himself with a smile.

Previously injured in battle with Lu Qiuqing, he suffered quite a bit! But now, after recovering for a while in the center of the Earth-level Spirit Vein of the Spirit Grade, he was finally restored.

Whish!

He then flashed his eyes, and a streak of Qi of Purple Firmament emerged from within him, suspended before him, transforming into a sheet of paper, inscribed with many ancient and profound texts.

Chen Fei quietly gazed at the ancient and profound texts on the paper, and suddenly, he shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Unexpectedly, this cultivation method has such requirements to achieve? This is troublesome…"

Originally, although the "Purple Firmament Judgement Technique" is immensely powerful, its cultivation conditions are exceedingly harsh! Two extremely rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, spiritual treasure medicine, are required to truly complete the cultivation of this method.

Among these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, one is the 'Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo', said to be nourished with True Dragon blood and taking hundreds of years to grow into an object embodying supreme yang and rigidity! Incredibly rare, and its value would indeed tempt even those in the Primordial Core True Lord Realm.

The second is a leaf from a 'Ghost Yama Tree', named Ghost Luo Leaf. The Ghost Yama Tree, reportedly an exotic spiritual entity with intelligence, if matured to its peak, its combat power would likely rival those strong in the Minor Heavenly Position Yuan Dan Realm!

Moreover, during its youth or growing stages, this tree does not bear leaves.

Only once matured does the Ghost Yama Tree gradually produce 'Ghost Luo Leaves', in limited numbers, making them exceedingly precious.

However, if one can refine this Ghost Luo Leaf, it would be highly beneficial for cultivators cultivating dark attribute spiritual energy! Potentially allowing them to develop a formidable divine skill, considerably valuable.

Thus, obtaining the Ghost Luo Leaf may be relatively easier compared to the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo, yet still, it is not simple.

"Truly, pies don't fall from the sky. Now there's a lot to do… must quickly find the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo and the Ghost Luo Leaf." Chen Fei shook his head in irritation, murmuring helplessly.

Since he chose this cultivation method, it meant that for a considerable future, he wouldn't change it! Therefore, naturally, he wouldn't shrink back when facing difficulties, as that's not his style.

Besides, although the cultivation requirements for the "Purple Firmament Judgement Technique" are stringent, there is still a truth evident.

The greater the investment, the greater the return.

Chen Fei's heart grew increasingly expectant.

Whish!

Chen Fei then left the center of the Earth-level Spirit Vein of the Spirit Grade, searching for Iron One and the others to employ the power of the Enlightened Deity Mansion, gathering information regarding the 'Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo' and 'Ghost Luo Leaf' Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

This time luck favored him, good news arrived.

"Master, good news, one of the treasures you need, the Ghost Luo Leaf, has surfaced!"

Days later, Iron One, of the Eight Great Iron Guards, approached Chen Fei excitedly, saying: "In half a month, Ghost Wolf City will host a major auction organized by the Floating Immortal Pavilion, where this item will be auctioned."

"Really?" Chen Fei's eyes lit up, immediately setting off! Heading towards Ghost Wolf City.

This Ghost Luo Leaf, he must acquire it! It must not be missed.
