863. Chapter 861 They Are Evil Devil Sect Followers

"I've been seriously injured." Chen Yunfei gave a bitter smile.

"Seriously injured?" Lu Yuan asked, his face full of shock.

"Yeah, they are Evil Devil Sect followers." Chen Yunfei nodded.

"What Evil Devil Sect followers?" Lu Yuan said with a stern expression.

"Evil Devil Sect followers specialize in hunting down all kinds of cultivators; their methods are cruel and vicious, making one's hair stand on end." Chen Yunfei sighed.

Lu Yuan said: "Then let's return to the sect together."

"Okay."

Boom—rumble—!

Just then, a deafening explosion sound came from the distance.

"Not good!" Lu Yuan and Chen Yunfei's faces drastically changed.

Lu Yuan abruptly looked up and indeed saw flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke rolling above several hundred meters in altitude.

"Damn it!" Chen Yunfei's face turned deathly pale.

"Damn! The Evil Devil Sect people seized the spirit vein!" Lu Yuan exclaimed.

"Hurry and take me back; if we're late, it'll be too late!" Chen Yunfei shouted anxiously.

Before his words even finished, Chen Yunfei, dragging his weak body, swiftly darted toward the direction where the spirit vein was located.

Lu Yuan also chased after him with a grim expression.

"Senior Brother Chen, which evil cultist actually snatched the spirit vein?" Lu Yuan asked, frowning.

Chen Yunfei shook his head, gnashing his teeth: "I don't know either! I've only just arrived at the ancient ruins for training not long ago, I don't know these Evil Devil Sect people, and they all wear black robes so I can't see their faces!"

"I truly wish we could eradicate this bunch of bastards as soon as possible; otherwise they will surely cause a great disaster later!" Lu Yuan said, filled with righteous indignation.

"Regardless, preserving our lives is most important." Chen Yunfei sighed.

……

Two days later, with Lu Yuan's help, Chen Yunfei's injuries gradually healed.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Lu!"

While taking medicine to heal his wounds, Chen Yunfei clasped his fists and said: "Junior Brother Lu, you are now out of danger; you should return to the sect as soon as possible."

Lu Yuan fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Ah! I also don't want to stay here, but… I still have an unfinished mission."

"A mission?" Chen Yunfei looked at Lu Yuan doubtfully.

"I want to join the Pill Refining Hall." Lu Yuan said with determined expression: "Only the Pill Refining Hall can help me achieve my goal."

"I see."

Chen Yunfei nodded in realization, then added: "But the Pill Refining Hall is very selective in recruiting disciples; one must pass the examination, so you probably don't have a chance."

Lu Yuan lowered his head slightly and sighed helplessly: "I understand."

Chen Yunfei said: "But since we've met, I'll help you once; besides, I also need to return to the sect."

Lu Yuan, tears of gratitude in his eyes, said: "Thank you so much! Senior Brother Chen, rest assured, once I return to the sect I will immediately recommend you; with your talent, joining the Pill Refining Hall will be a breeze, absolutely not inferior to me!"

Chen Yunfei waved his hand and smiled: "I lack confidence in myself, but I believe that as long as I work hard, my future achievements will not be worse than anyone else's."

"Hmm." Lu Yuan nodded, then said: "By the way, I heard you were selected to participate in the 'Nine Yang Holy Water' trial; how did it go, did you succeed in obtaining it?"

Upon mention of the Nine Yang Holy Water, Chen Yunfei instantly showed a faint bitter smile.

"Don't mention it; I thought that with my early Foundation Establishment cultivation and a third-grade spirit pill, there shouldn't be a problem, but who knew I would run into Evil Devil Sect followers."

"Evil Devil Sect followers?" Lu Yuan's face drastically changed.

Chen Yunfei took a deep breath and continued to recount what happened that night.

According to Chen Yunfei, the battle that night was extremely brutal.

The Evil Devil Sect people suddenly appeared, without a word launched an attack on him, and all of them were elite members of the Evil Devil Sect, their cultivation reaching a terrifying level.

Fortunately he used a spirit pill to escape; otherwise he would surely have died.

"Senior Brother Chen, what are you planning to do now? You're seriously injured; you can't even return to the sect, let alone go back to East Sea City." Lu Yuan worried.

"Ah, I never expected to encounter such a disaster; if I hadn't followed that evil cultivator to the Spirit Source Mountain Range back then, I probably wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Don't worry too much either; I believe we will eventually find the culprit." Lu Yuan comforted.

Chen Yunfei's eyes flashed with a cold gleam of hatred as he gritted his teeth: "I will take revenge! I will personally slaughter them!"

"Are you confident?" Lu Yuan asked.

"No." Chen Yunfei shook his head, then added with a self-mocking laugh: "But I can't just sit and wait for death!"

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, then took out a bottle of Jade Liquid Nectar and handed it to Chen Yunfei.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yunfei stared, stunned.

"This is the gift I promised you earlier; although it's not very precious, it's better than nothing." Lu Yuan smiled.

Chen Yunfei startled, then his eyes welled up as he choked out: "Thank……"

He never expected that Lu Yuan would actually give him Jade Liquid Nectar; it was practically worth more than a hundred gold.

Because this is an extremely rare holy medicine for healing wounds, its value is high, even far more precious than ordinary pills.

Even with a hundred times more gold, such a treasure cannot be exchanged for!

Chen Yunfei was deeply moved in his heart; he secretly vowed that he would surely repay Lu Yuan with all his might in the future.

After Chen Yunfei finished drinking the Jade Liquid Nectar, he immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate to heal his injuries.

Half an hour later.

Pfft—!

Chen Yunfei opened his mouth and spat out a clot of dark black blood; his whole body felt as if a thousand-pound boulder had been lifted, and he relaxed.

"Finally healed!"

Feeling his whole body filled with surging vital energy, Chen Yunfei's face showed excitement and exhilaration, and he was also secretly astonished.

"What powerful jade liquid and precious nectar! I only drank one bottle and actually recovered to my peak. If I could obtain a few bottles, breaking through would be imminent!"

Chen Yunfei urgently craved to increase his strength!

Not only him, but all ambitious young people harbor a strong desire deep within!

As long as one's strength is strong enough, nothing is a problem anymore!

"However, obtaining jade liquid and precious nectar is not easy; I estimate only an existence at the level of the Hall Master of the Pill Refining Hall could get hold of it," Chen Yunfei thought with feeling.

Chen Yunfei took out several pills from his storage bag and threw them into his mouth to swallow.

These pills contain immense spiritual energy, their effect comparable to that of a Gathering Yuan Pill!

After taking the pills, the other person's injuries were completely healed.

"Let's go." Lu Yuan said.

"Where to?" Chen Yunfei blinked in surprise.

Lu Yuan said: "The people of the Evil Devil Sect won't let this go; I must return to the sect as soon as possible and tell my master the full story of this matter."

"I'll accompany you, so you don't have to fight alone," Chen Yunfei suggested.

"No need, I can return by myself," Lu Yuan refused.

"Then that's fine."

"Take care, Senior Brother Chen!" Lu Yuan solemnly bowed his hands in farewell to Chen Yunfei, then turned and left swiftly.

Watching Lu Yuan's disappearing figure into the dense forest, Chen Yunfei sighed, then turned and walked toward the outside of the valley.

……

At the same time.

A certain tavern in Nanling City.

Inside a luxurious private room, a group of young men and women sat around a table drinking, amid laughter and chatter.

Their cultivation levels were mostly around the fifth or sixth layer of Body Tempering, with a few particularly sturdy-breath experts obviously being Foundation Establishment cultivators. (End of chapter)
