Chapter 170: Chapter 171: Seeking Fortune Amidst Danger (2nd Update) (Please Favorite, Tip, and Recommend)

"The Emperor of Fertility’s tomb? Isn’t that the most dangerous place?"

Han Yueli frowned as she spoke.

Now, within the Holy Land, the strong contenders had mostly gathered around the Emperor of Fertility’s tomb, hoping to snatch a piece of the pie.

The Prince Yan Nan, who had been spying on Chu Fengmian before, was very likely to be around the Emperor of Fertility’s tomb as well.

Wasn’t heading there now akin to seeking one’s own death?

"Moreover, whether the news of the Emperor of Fertility’s tomb opening is true or false, no one can be certain at present. Going there rashly now seems too risky, doesn’t it?"

Han Yueli couldn’t help but voice out.

Taking such a big risk for a piece of news with unknown authenticity indeed seemed unworthy.

"Rather than sitting ducks, it’s better to take the initiative and seek opportunities."

Chu Fengmian’s mind shifted as he spoke.

He was of course aware that the news of the Emperor of Fertility’s tomb was likely to be true, for Chu Fengmian could feel it from the Emperor’s stele.

But facing Han Yueli, Chu Fengmian still didn’t dare to trust completely. The secret of the stele must not be exposed; he had only to shift the topic subtly as he spoke.

"In order to leave the Holy Land, there’s at least half a year’s time before the prohibitions outside open. In half a year, even if we flee, we cannot escape Prince Yan Nan’s pursuit."

Chu Fengmian said aloud.

"It’s better to seek an opportunity. Whether it’s you or me who breaks through, we will both have the strength to fight Yan Nan."

Chu Fengmian’s words were half true, half false.

False were the reasons of Chu Fengmian; true was his intent, which was not mistaken.

Now, Han Yueli and Chu Fengmian were like grasshoppers on the same string, especially when facing Yan Nan — their goals aligned.

If they parted ways, they might just be broken one by one by Yan Nan.

"If I really can obtain some resources that allow me to step into the Wind Riding Realm, while I may not be able to defeat Yan Nan, self-protection from his hands wouldn’t be difficult."

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Han Yueli pondered.

"Oh?"

This statement from Han Yueli surprised Chu Fengmian somewhat.

Prince Yan Nan’s realm was at the fifth level of the Wind Riding Realm, and his strength even reached the terrifying seventh level of that realm. Even if Han Yueli broke through to the Wind Riding Realm,

She would only be at the first level; in front of Yan Nan, she would still not amount to much.

However, listening to Han Yueli’s confidence, she seemed to have unique methods up her sleeve.

Han Yueli was also one of the true talents of the Cold Snow Pavilion, one of the four major sects, naturally not as ordinary as she appeared.

"Alright, I will trust you this time."

Han Yueli spoke.

Two figures then dashed toward the core area of the Holy Land.

The closer they got to the core of the Holy Land, the richer the Spiritual Energy became; even Chu Fengmian felt that with a simple gesture, as long as he exerted a little effort to condense, he could gather the Spiritual Energy into numerous Spirit Pills.

At the same time, along this path, the amount of Spiritual Medicine they encountered was also abundant. Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli collected them as they went.

Among them, Chu Fengmian only took the Spiritual Medicines that increased Spiritual Power. As for other healing medicines or those with different effects, he did not want any of them and gave them all to Han Yueli.

"This Green Origin Flower can be refined into an Earth-Rank Medium Grade Green Origin Pill. As long as a Martial Artist is not dead, even if their Spirit Vein is damaged, they can be saved. And you actually don’t want it?"

When Han Yueli saw yet another Spiritual Medicine, the Green Origin Flower, being tossed to her without any hesitation by Chu Fengmian, she couldn’t help but express her amazement.

To an ordinary Martial Artist, the Green Origin Flower was worth as much as a life, an incredibly valuable treasure, even priceless.

Once it appeared, it would certainly be contested by countless Martial Artists. And now Chu Fengmian was giving it away for nothing, making it hard for Han Yueli not to speak up.

"It’s useless to me. The Cultivation Technique I practice is quite special; I only need Spiritual Medicines that increase Spiritual Power. As for the rest, I don’t want them at all," Chu Fengmian said calmly.

Chu Fengmian was well aware of the value of the Green Origin Flower; if he were to sell it outside, it could fetch at least several million Qi Gathering Pills.

But now, inside the Holy Land, the Green Origin Flower held no meaning to Chu Fengmian.

With the bloodline of the ancient war dragon in his veins, as long as he wasn’t dead, Chu Fengmian could use the power of the bloodline to recover.

If even the bloodline of the ancient war dragon couldn’t heal him, the Green Origin Flower would be useless. It was better to give it straight to Han Yueli.

"What a strange man. Could it be that he is extremely confident in his own strength, thinking that he will never fall into danger?" Han Yueli’s eyes carefully sized up Chu Fengmian.

Through their time together, she had come to understand Chu Fengmian more deeply.

The more she learned about Chu Fengmian, the more surprised she was in her heart.

Chu Fengmian’s knowledge didn’t match a mere twenty-year-old Martial Artist. Many Spiritual Medicines that she couldn’t recognize, he could identify at a glance and explain their effects.

Especially his unfailingly calm composure made Chu Fengmian seem nothing like a young Martial Artist.

In particular, the strange look in his eyes when he looked at her intrigued her greatly.

Not admiration or lust like an ordinary Martial Artist, but more of a nostalgia.

Nostalgia?

She had never met Chu Fengmian before, so why the nostalgic look?

"We should not be far from the tomb of the Emperor of Fertility," suddenly, Chu Fengmian halted and said.

This sudden remark interrupted Han Yueli’s train of thought.

"What? Oh, we’re already near the tomb of the Emperor of Fertility?" Han Yueli exclaimed in surprise.

She had been following Chu Fengmian all along, without paying much attention to the path. And now, without seeing anything special, Chu Fengmian suddenly stopped and claimed they were near the Emperor of Fertility’s tomb.

Could it be that Chu Fengmian had been here before?

The idea popped into Han Yueli’s mind. Following Chu Fengmian on their journey, the two had not taken any detours at all, as if he already knew everything within this Holy Land.

But what she didn’t know was that Chu Fengmian possessed the fertility stele. With the sense from the fertility stele, Chu Fengmian knew that they had arrived near the tomb of the Emperor of Fertility.

Inside his body, the power of the fertility stele was nearly erupting, if not for the ancient war dragon’s suppression that Chu Fengmian was using to restrain the stele’s power.

If the fertility stele emerged, Chu Fengmian might become the enemy of all Martial Artists in the Holy Land. Whoever obtained the fertility stele was the most likely to possess the treasure of the Emperor of Fertility.
