Mystic Vein Realm (4)

"Aouuu!" the Armament Wolves cries for their master's assistance. Under the attack of this grades, their numbers are expected to fall desperately unless Zhang Wu Ji came out with something else.

"Nine Meters Travelling Fist!" out of choice, Zhang Wu Ji is forced to executes the skills within the ninth manual which he spent a period of effort and Fighter Qi to create through the Rumors of Four Phases.

Like its name, the Nine Meters Travelling Fist is not a single strike, but a flawless attack that covers the distance of nine meters in subjugating his opponents.

This skill went through friends and only attack foes. It was a simple one fist stance, but following behind that stance is an intent that controls the life and death of all targets in the Nine Meters Distance.

And this stance alone controls the enemies before him without trouble, where his attack immediately shatters their core an left the Claydoll remained as a pile of broken Clayware.

"Hateful! How dare a mere inheritance stops me, the great Fighter Falcon, from taking this Inheritance with me!" the junior under the Beast Master Ironwing howled as he keeps his momentum in sending more Vein Cleaving Claydoll into the Room.

"The others must be trying hard to overcome this Trial, I cannot lose." the disciple from Flame Burial Sect is trying her best to overcome this challenge as well.

In the side of the Inheritance belonged to the Golden Lord, only seven of the participants remained. They were respectively the disciple from Blood Messenger Religion, Flame Burial Sect, Celestial Gate, Soaring Gate, Tie Ying Forest, Xue Hou Valley, and Mystical Taming Peak.

Unexpected to Zhang Wu Ji himself, the disciple from Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress and Silver Wolf Gate is the earliest two to be kicked out from the Mystic Vein Realm during their competition to see who's qualified to keep the treasure.

At the end of the battle, both Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress and Silver Wolf Gate is kicked out from the Realm for underestimating their opponent too much.

Still, the worst of all is that they lost not only the treasures the brought themselves, but they were also forced to return completely empty-handed because of their weaknesses. As for their belongings, its ownership has changed from the two to the disciple from Blood Messenger Religion.

With the Gigantic Claydoll is destroyed and no threat can be seen, Zhang Wu Ji returned to handle the tempering of the Metal Blocks until they reach the suitable stage to be put into the wall as a part of its foundation.

For those without an UPGRADE System, this is impossible to be achieved by the power of one person. As a side fact, this trial is created for the sake of increasing the possibility of cooperation in between the Inheritance Trial.

Similar to how Golden Lord's Trial is related to everyone cooperating together to destroy the House connecting the two Inheritance together but not knowing the others that fight with them, while the Trial from Jade Lord paid attention in cooperation.

As a cultivator blessed with the UPGRADE System, Zhang Wu Ji can ignore the fact of properly inspecting the Metal Blocks he tempered because no matter how unbothered he is on them, their quality will reach the requirement anyway!

He was a living Quality Controller that possess the ability to process anything without the worries of making a mistake at all!

While the others still try their best to attack the Foundation House, Zhang Wu Ji already completed what he had to do. The four sides of the wall are now complete and cover the interior for additional privacy.

What he did not expect is instead of a somewhere hidden around the corner of the chamber, the door into the next trial actually appeared from inside of the Foundation House.

Stepping into the house and accessing the door, Zhang Wu Ji vanished from the spot together with the house. As for the others at this moment, the Clay to form the doll hardened and cracked. Following that, the wall splitting each of them into different rooms shatters and reveals a large chamber with five doors in the middle.

"That door is mine!" within seconds of consideration, the seven of them charged at their respective opponents, and started to fight.

"What happened inside of the realm, why did you came out first?" the senior of the Silver Wolf Gate questioned his junior for the reason of coming out earliest.

"Reply to senior, junior apologies for his weakness of being defeated first inside of the Mystic Vein Realm." the junior from Silver Wolf Gate apologized to his senior by becoming the first one to be kicked out.

"Nevermind... There's over hundred of Realm for us to find for a suitable inheritance so pay attention into your cultivation and not these worthless challenges." the senior calmed his junior, but those words he mentioned contains several bones inside that picking on the others.

Master Sky Wolf, only those that failed to eat the grapes will say the grape is sour. Never in my expectation that the great Second-Grade Celestial Designer like Master Sky Wolf will say something so shallow." Ming De took the opportunity to add salt to the injury.

"Ming De! Out of the previous two opening, you and I participate in the first opening and end up without anything in our hand. On the second opening, your disciple from Seven Heaven Sect only managed to bring out two thousand Qi Accumulating Pill worth of treasures, while my disciples brought not only a Mortal Heaven Weapon but also ten thousand Qi Accumulating Pill of Treasures out."

"What do you mean by I am the one saying the grape is sour? If it's not because of the Seven Heaven Sect's position, the Silver Wolf Gate already overcome your status long ago!" Master Sky Wolf warns him to take care of his speech.

Ming De keeps quiet as he stares at Master Sky Wolf, but the flickered lights of the next participants shock everyone there, especially the senior from the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress.

"What happened? Why did our Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress end up taking the second last spot?" the Bandit Leader, Master Ring Saber questioned the youth.

"Leader, subordinate failed to perform as leader expected, please executes subordinate for his uselessness!" he bowed.

"Tell me, who is the one that kicks you out from the Mystic Vein Realm?" Master Ring Saber asked.

"It's the bitch from Flame Burial Sect, she..." the young bandit tries to finish his answer but before he's able to a 1.3-meter long saber hack his head off.

"Trash! To know that you actually let a useless bitch kick you out..." Master Ring Saber executed the youth and left using his Silver Wolf Tender.

But not even a minute pass from Master Ring Saber enters the Tender, cries from pitiful women raped by a beast started to deafen the whole area as it left.

"Animal!" Hao Ting and Ming De from the Two Sects comments.

"How many stages before I reach the Inheritance for the Jade Lord?" Zhang Wu Ji cannot help but question his next trial. Before his eyes are no longer a small chamber, but a piece of land looks like Garden of Herbs.

Only differences are all of the herbs are nothing but decoration.

The Sun-Facing Fruit, Wound Healing Grass, Ten Layer Healing Lotus, Blood Grapes, all of them grown here like it was their own private pasture, but unfortunately, none amongst them contains a hint of Natural Energy within that worthy to be made into pills.

Worst of all, they look amazing from the outside, but pitiful from the inside.

Trash Sun-Facing Flower Fruit

-Information: An unnourished version of Sun-Facing Fruit. This Nature Resource is incompetent to be processed by the UPGRADE System.

-Nourishment Requirement: 10 Strands of Fighter Qi each plant.

-Rewards: fifty strands of Warrior Qi and [Vein Listener Art] will be rewarded to the individual.

"Again? Another test to see how will each of us reacts when facing the trash plants?" Zhang Wu Ji feels speechless.

The first Trial he passed is the test of Deduction, where it will evaluate how well the participants do in examining the item required to open the locked doors.

Additionally, the test is given in two stages. Upon going through all the Locked Doors, the participant will have to use the second item formed by the same ingredient.

On the second Trial, Zhang Wu Ji is given two choices. To follow the enlightenment of Jade Lord or Golden Lord. One allows the participant to understands the Trial of Effort, another understands the Trial of Force. Although there were no success or failure in this Trial, both will be transferred into their respective selection of choice.

And on their Third Trial, Zhang Wu Ji is given the effort to understand the Trial of Protection, while the others on the Trial of Destruction. Both lead to their final and respective Trial, which is the Trial of Heart.

Zhang Wu Ji's Trial consists of compassion, a Trial that will examine its target on how good perform when put in such a scenario.

As for the others, they're transferred to their own Final Trial by Golden Lord, the Trial of Sin, where they will be given the opportunity to pocket the treasure and fought against others for the ownership.

"Well, I guess I got no choice but to help the plant to grow." Zhang Wu Ji steps closer to the plants on the edges. With both hands is opened wide, Zhang Wu Ji activated the Long- Mu Blessing Stance to increase their recovery and rate of absorption.

Only a short period is used before he turned the Garden of Herbs into something worthy to a cultivator. The plants started to carry some hint of Inner Qi within them and growing stronger.

At this moment, Zhang Wu Ji already reaches the stage to pass the Trial of Compassion, but he wasn't a person that will leave his effort incomplete. The Long-Mu Blessing Stance continues to pour into every inch of the garden until the Inner Qi every plant carry starts to reacts to the blessing.

This scene will cause their jaw to drop if everyone present was here to witness this.

Mist filled with Fighter Qi swimming within started to envelopes the whole Garden, turning it into a scene where the only land filled with extreme dense Fighter Qi can form.

[Immortal Descending Mist]

Within this mist is a Body Cleansing Effect, where it will help cultivator within to removes the impurity from their body. Ailments such as Crippling, Birth Defects, Disease, Poison, Demon Bite, and others can be recovered here depending on how long they remained inside.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Wu Ji smiled.

"The plant was nourished until the Qi within them overflowed and created the mist. I should bath in this mist and calm my mind before I proceed to the next Trial." Zhang Wu Ji smiled and meditates.

Under the cover from the mist, Zhang Wu Ji meditates. The impurities within his body due to overconsumption of pills and the Fighter Chasing Dan slowly removed is he breath. After the Immortal Descending Mist is gone, Zhang Wu Ji opened his eyes.

The amount of Warrior Qi within his body is no longer six strands of Warrior Qi, but a whopping total of 56 strands of Warrior Qi instead. It was the reward mentioned by the description earlier when he touches the Sun-Facing Fruit.

Surprisingly, the Garden of Herbs is no longer exist. Surrounding him is an empty chamber with nothing except a smaller mound beside him, where a Mental Cultivation Manual rest.

Without wasting time, Zhang Wu Ji extends his hand and grabs the book so his UPGRADE System can show him the description of this manual.

[Vein Listener Art]

"Oh? This manual is a good thing for me!"

[Author's Note]

Guess...

What is the "Good Thing" he mentioned? I am sorry to all my readers. I'm not good enough. The story started to get better (I hope that's what all my reader thinks) as it goes, but my skills in writing are limited.

While everyone is waiting, I am trying my best to complete the chapters, but their content started to plague me as I worry it will be the same storyline as the earlier Arc.

I hope my reader understands this and can continue to support me, even if my writing is a little slower now (Because the story cannot go like how the first arc was, including the improvement, skills, and of course, enemies and treasures)

This Chapter is to compensate my readers for the 900 Power Stone promises. Please expect more to come soon for this week.
