Chapter 373: Chapter 372: I Assure You It’s Interesting
Only the two of them were left in the private room. Yang Fei looked at Zhu Tianshou and said, "Senior, can you speak now?"
Zhu Tianshou nodded and said, "Do you still remember the incident I told you about, when Zhang Wenfeng ambushed me?"
Yang Fei nodded and said, "I remember."
Zhu Tianshou said, "Although Zhang Wenfeng is ambitious, he’s not the type to stifle the growth of others, and even if I had stepped into the Innate Realm, it wouldn’t have affected him. He could have easily sought my friendship, which would have added to his influence. Yet he chose to ambush me—do you know why?"
Yang Fei thought for a moment and said, "I remember back then, Senior mentioned that you had obtained two extremely precious elixirs, and Zhang Wenfeng came for those elixirs."
Zhu Tianshou nodded and said, "That’s right, he was after those two Innate Pills."
"Innate Pills?" Yang Fei repeated softly.
Zhu Tianshou said, "By obtaining this pill, a cultivator at the peak of the Energy Transformation Realm has a fifty percent chance of stepping into the Innate Realm. At that time, I was planning to use the pill to break through to the Innate Realm when Zhang Wenfeng ambushed me and nearly took my life. Within less than three years after he got the pill, Zhang Yunlong managed to step into the Innate Realm and became a legend in the Martial World, heh, outsiders don’t know, but I understand that Zhang Yunlong’s rapid breakthrough was thanks to the Innate Pill."
Yang Fei said, "So Senior came to find me today to ask if I could make the Innate Pill?"
Zhu Tianshou shook his head and said, "Even though your medical skill is profound, the Innate Pill is not something you could make."
Yang Fei laughed and said, "You look down on me that much?"
Zhu Tianshou explained, "It’s not that I look down on you, but in today’s world, to make Divine Pills like the Innate Pill, refinement skills alone aren’t enough; you also need the raw materials."
Yang Fei looked at Zhu Tianshou and asked, "What does Senior mean by that?"
Zhu Tianshou said, "I obtained the Innate Pills by a chance opportunity, and although I don’t know where they came from, I do know that looking across the world, only the Hidden Sect could make such an elixir."
Yang Fei nodded and said, "Senior’s speculation should be correct."
Zhu Tianshou’s gaze flickered as he looked at Yang Fei and said, "Apart from the Innate Pills, the Hidden Sect should have even more precious pills. We are both martial artists. Although we have stepped into the Innate Realm now, the current environment is too unfavorable. It’s simply too difficult for us to advance further. Don’t you have any other thoughts?"
Yang Fei understood and leaned back in his chair, smiling at Zhu Tianshou, "Senior wants to invite me to go to the Hidden Sect with you?"
Zhu Tianshou nodded, "Although our Realm isn’t invincible in the Hidden Sect, if we go together, we wouldn’t be considered weak. Don’t you have any interest in the Hidden Sect at all?"
Yang Fei began to laugh.
What’s with recent times?
People keep inviting him to the Hidden Sect.
Xu Jian was looking to find the Body Seizing and Rebirth Technique from the Hidden Sect.
Zhu Tianshou was discontented with his current level and wanted to become stronger, yet he saw no hope in the secular world and turned his gaze toward the Hidden Sect World.
All restless people, aren’t they?
"Of course, if you don’t wish to go, just pretend I never said anything," Zhu Tianshou said.
Yang Fei’s heart stirred, and he asked, "As far as I know, the Hidden Sect is very secretive. Do you know how to get there?"
Zhu Tianshou nodded and said, "I know someone. Twenty-seven years ago, he escaped from the Hidden Sect and has been living incognito ever since."
Yang Fei couldn’t help but think of Wang Hui.
He was also from the Hidden Sect but couldn’t bear the dull life there, so he ran away in secret and joined Sky Net for some reasons.
Now Zhu Tianshou said he had a friend who had fled from the Hidden Sect over twenty years ago, preferring to live anonymously in the secular world rather than return.
The Hidden Sect was becoming more and more intriguing to him.
"Senior wants to go to the Hidden Sect just to pursue a higher Martial Arts Realm?" Yang Fei asked.
Zhu Tianshou nodded, "My greatest passion in life has been practicing martial arts. Now that I know the Innate Realm isn’t the end, naturally I want to go and see for myself."
Yang Fei said, "Above the Innate Realm lies the Divine Travel Realm. Senior, although you’ve only stepped into the Innate Realm not long ago, your consciousness strength far surpasses other cultivators of this realm due to your constant willpower honing during your seventeen years of paralysis."
A flash of brilliance passed through Zhu Tianshou’s eyes, and he looked at Yang Fei in surprise.
Yang Fei smiled slightly and said, "The first time I met you, I knew it."
Zhu Tianshou sighed and said, "Indeed, you are truly remarkable, with incredibly perceptive insights. What really astonishes me is how someone as young as you possesses not only a high Physical Body Realm but also terrifyingly strong telekinesis. How did you achieve this? Back in the Imperial City, had it not been for your powerful Divine Thought, even if you and Qin Yanyang combined your powers, you wouldn’t have been able to stand against Zhang Yunfeng."
Yang Fei nodded and said, "That’s correct. Zhang Yunfeng had entered the Divine Travel Realm, capable of killing with a mere thought. Relying solely on a strong Physical Body Realm wouldn’t have been enough to contend with him."
"How did you do it?" Zhu Tianshou asked curiously.
Yang Fei laughed and said, "Cultivation. I’ve been cultivating since I was thirteen, and along with cultivating True Qi, I’ve also had to sharpen my will and enhance my spiritual power."
Zhu Tianshou nodded silently and said, "That’s what true cultivation is all about, perfecting both spirit and form."
Yang Fei brought the topic back and said, "Senior, if you trust me, there is no need to be in a hurry; you can wait a while longer."
Zhu Tianshou’s eyes lit up as he looked at Yang Fei and asked, "You’ve agreed?"
Yang Fei replied, "I will definitely go to the Hidden Sect, but not now. Moreover, when the time comes, it won’t just be the two of us traveling together. There will be an even stronger companion joining us."
Zhu Tianshou was astonished and said, "Oh? Someone else is going, and he’s stronger than you?"
Yang Fei thought for a moment and said, "In certain respects, he is indeed stronger than me."
Zhu Tianshou became even more surprised.
He had seen firsthand how formidable Yang Fei was. In his view, apart from those in the Hidden Sect, no one in the Divine Continent Martial World could match Yang Fei. Yet, Yang Fei had mentioned there was someone stronger than him in certain respects.
"Who is this person?" Zhu Tianshou asked curiously.
"Xu Jian." Yang Fei didn’t hide the fact.
Zhu Tianshou was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "It has to be him. Fifty years ago, he was already a legend in the Divine Continent Martial World. Now that he’s still alive, his realm must be even more profound and inscrutable."
Yang Fei didn’t elaborate further on Xu Jian but said to Zhu Tianshou, "Before I go to the Hidden Sect, I need to make some preparations, so don’t rush things. Wait for my message."
Zhu Tianshou’s spirits were lifted as he said, "Good. As long as you’re willing to go together, I’ll wait for you."
Yang Fei recalled something and said, "Your friend, can I meet him?"
Zhu Tianshou thought about it and answered, "Yes."
"When would be convenient for you?" Yang Fei inquired.
"Anytime." Zhu Tianshou replied.
Yang Fei thought for a moment and said, "I’ll look for you after some time."
"Alright."
Yang Fei intended to meet Wang Hui first.
But before that, he needed to get in touch with Li Xuanyu to see if Zhang Yunlong had loosened his lips.
Only after obtaining the route and methods to reach the Hidden Sect from the mouths of Zhang Yunlong and Wang Hui, and then comparing that to the information from Zhu Tianshou’s friend, could he confirm the reliability of the information.
Thinking of Zhang Yunlong, Yang Fei suddenly had a different idea looking at Zhu Tianshou.
He said to Zhu Tianshou, "Senior, if you’re bored lately, I can find something interesting for you to do."
Zhu Tianshou’s interest was piqued, "What is it?"
"It’s something you’ll find interesting," Yang Fei said with a mysterious smile.
