Although this time the task wasnt a.s.signed to Chen Fei, all their procedures still seem to be in accordance with the rules on the surface, leaving little room for criticism.

However, if the defensive zone of the Primordial Sword Sect is adjusted without any special reason, its purely giving others a handle to criticize. Simply doing so to vent frustration would be too much of a loss for gain.

Lets go, there are other candidates as well. Its not absolutely necessary to choose Chen Fei, Mo Xuyang said softly, then proceeded forward.

Fang Sifu felt somewhat uneasy in his heart, but ultimately, he could only swallow his pride. The authority of the Task Hall was significant, and in turn, there were many constraints.

Chen Feis response left Fang Sifu feeling resentful, yet indeed, there were no better ways to retaliate.

Time spent in cultivation always flies by quickly. In the cultivation chamber, Chen Fei sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, a blood-red light reflecting around him.

Clang!

Suddenly, the sound of a sword reverberated in the chamber.

The sword sound was faint and long, echoing in the ears, as if it were also resonating in the sea of consciousness, or perhaps it was a combination of both.

After months of arduous practice, refining the Profound Heavenly Sword technique from the top techniques of nine major forces, Chen Fei finally reached the state of perfection. At this moment, not only the yuan energy within Chen Feis body, but even his consciousness in the sea of knowledge trembled slightly.

The Profound Heavenly Sword, in essence, surpa.s.ses the hereditary techniques of the nine major forces. And to achieve perfection in these top-notch techniques within their respective sects, ones cultivation must have already reached the later stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Without reaching this level of comprehension in the techniques, its simply impossible to elevate ones cultivation to such heights.

Chen Feis eyes opened, and within the cultivation chamber, it seemed as if a sword light flashed by. The formations on the walls trembled slightly before returning to calmness.

Standing up, Chen Fei formed a sword gesture with his right hand, and a sword essence emerged from his fingertip, filling the entire chamber with its sharpness in an instant.

For martial artists in the Body Tempering realm, staring directly at this sword essence would likely blind them instantly, and their consciousness would be directly affected. Though martial artists in the Aperture Tempering realm wouldnt suffer to such an extent, both their yuan energy and consciousness would still be suppressed.

This is the innate suppression high-level martial artists exert over low-level ones. Low-level martial artists attempting to besiege high-level ones would find it impossible to even approach without sufficient numbers and exceptional formations.

Chen Fei retracted the sword essence in his hand, sensing the changes in yuan energy within his body.

It felt even more rounded and refined. Chen Feis control over yuan energy was already meticulous, but with the Profound Heavenly Sword reaching perfection, this level of precision had somehow advanced even further.

This means that when Chen Fei uses the same technique, he will require slightly less yuan energy than before. If he were to use the same amount of yuan energy as before, naturally, the power would be stronger.

Buzz!

Ripples emanated from Chen Feis body, and the three prohibitions were opened in an instant, just like using ordinary techniques.

Not only was the activation of the prohibitions faster, but at this moment, the pressure exerted by the prohibitions on Chen Feis body was also reduced by a few degrees.

However, it was only a slight reduction. The prohibitions mainly made the yuan energy more violent. To control it completely without harm, simply advancing in the realm of techniques was insufficient; the strength of the physique needed to continue improving.

After a moment, the fluctuations of the prohibitions within Chen Feis body disappeared.

The perfection of the Profound Heavenly Sword inevitably propelled Chen Feis strength further, but this increase in strength had not reached a completely transformative level.

Previously, when facing a mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm opponent, one strike severely injured, and another killed. Now, it was estimated that one strike could directly bring a mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm opponent to the brink of death, leaving no chance for escape.

In other words, whereas others had a possibility of escape before, now even that possibility has been wiped out.

If encountering a slightly weaker mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm opponent, such as a third-turn Combined Aperture Tempering realm, it might indeed be possible to kill them with a single strike.

The next morning, Chen Fei appeared in the bustling market of Sea Dominion City.

However, Chen Feis aura at this moment was completely different from before, exuding a wildness, indicating the activation of the Blood Refining Art.

Chen Feis appearance had also changed accordingly, with a full beard on his face and a scar extending from the corner of his left eye to his neck.

As Chen Fei walked down the street, many pa.s.sersby and street vendors cast several glances at him. After all, the aura Chen Fei displayed was not something ordinary martial artists possessed.

Chen Fei arrived at the front of a shop and walked straight in.

Customer, what do you need? The shopkeeper, upon seeing Chen Fei and sensing his aura, couldnt help but feel a sense of fear, as if facing a demonic beast.

Yes, it was the kind of fear one feels when facing a demonic beast, as if at any moment, they would be torn apart alive, instinctively prompting one to flee.

Do you buy spiritual treasures? Chen Fei sat boldly on a chair, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured the tea directly into his mouth.

We do, of course we do. Please wait a moment, Ill go fetch someone. The shopkeepers face lit up upon hearing about spiritual treasures.

Nowadays in Sea Dominion City, anything that can immediately boost ones strength is highly sought after. Array disks, talismans, spiritual treasures, and poisons all fall into this category.

As for spirit pills used for cultivation, which cannot immediately change ones strength, their prices are not high.

The shopkeepers strength only reaches the Aperture Tempering realm, so although he is called the shopkeeper, he mainly serves as a storekeeper. When it comes to items like spiritual treasures, its necessary for a mid-stage Aperture Tempering realm expert to appraise them.

Go ahead. Chen Fei put down the teapot in his hand and waved dismissively.

The shopkeeper didnt dare to delay and quickly ran to the backyard. After a moment, a figure followed the shopkeeper back, the true owner of the shop, Lu Tianfeng.

As a mid-stage Aperture Tempering realm expert, Lu Tianfengs strength might not be the highest in the market, but it is still considered average. There would be no problem for him to take in one or two high-grade spiritual treasures.

Lu Tianfeng glanced at Chen Fei secretly, but found no information about him.

Currently, Chen Fei is displaying the cultivation level of a mid-stage Aperture Tempering realm. Selling high-grade spiritual treasures with only an initial-stage Aperture Tempering realm cultivation might pose some problems.

Moreover, in order to differentiate himself from Chen Feis original ident.i.ty, using the cultivation level of a mid-stage Aperture Tempering realm is obviously more appropriate, as only some would a.s.sociate the two together.

I wonder what kind of spiritual treasure the guest would like to sell. May I take a look? Lu Tianfeng smiled politely.

Naturally!

Chen Fei responded, and a green long sword appeared in his hand, originating from Zhao Chengzhong, a mid-stage Aperture Tempering realm cultivator. This sword, influenced by the sword essence in Zhao Chengzhongs sword techniques for many years, exuded a powerful aura.

Zhao Chengzhongs sword techniques emphasized controlling with essence and cutting with momentum, with momentum being the most important aspect. Therefore, as soon as the sword was brought out, its momentum permeated the entire shop.

What a fine sword!

Lu Tianfengs eyes lit up when he saw the blade in Chen Feis hand. Seeing no objection from Chen Fei, Lu Tianfeng reached out and took the blade in front of him.

High-grade spiritual treasures are very durable, so the previous battle between Chen Fei and Zhao Chengzhong wouldnt have caused any damage to the blade, thus its value wouldnt decrease.

Chen Fei had been hesitant to sell these high-grade spiritual treasures he obtained several months ago because he was worried that he might attract unwanted attention.

Although the market didnt explicitly state that they inquire about the origins of items brought in for sale, they had always followed this practice.

However, without inquiring about their origins, it would be quite conspicuous for Chen Fei to suddenly sell several high-grade spiritual treasures, especially considering that these treasures came from the traitors.

Up until now, those traitors still couldnt determine who had killed Zhao Chengzhong and the other four. If Chen Fei were to sell these spiritual treasures, it would somewhat give away his involvement.

Min Yanlu should have already cleared out a batch of traitors based on the information provided by Chen Fei, but Chen Fei wasnt sure exactly how many traitors had been rooted out.

These traitors were very cautious in their daily contacts with each other. Ning Yandings cultivation was only at the mid-stage Aperture Tempering realm, so the information he could gather about the traitors was actually quite limited.

To avoid attracting more trouble, Chen Fei preferred to keep these high-grade spiritual treasures tucked away for now. After all, regardless of the circ.u.mstances, their value wouldnt depreciate easily.

Moreover, Chen Fei still had enough high-grade elemental stones in the Qiankun Bag from before, so there was no need to take unnecessary risks.

And now that he finally had a new ident.i.ty, Chen Fei could set aside these concerns.

Even if those traitors were to discover something, they would ultimately focus on Chen Feis new ident.i.ty. What did it have to do with Chen Feis original self?

After a moment, Chen Fei left the shop.

Chen Fei had sold two high-grade spiritual treasures, including the sword from Zhao Chengzhong and the knife from Liao Minglei.

The two high-grade spiritual treasures were sold for a total of 4,900 high-grade elemental stones. Compared to the usual price of high-grade spiritual treasures, Chen Fei earned an extra six to seven hundred high-grade elemental stones this time.

From Chen Feis observations, this increase was not considered excessive. Prices for more powerful array disks and talismans were even more exaggerated.

Chen Fei still had three high-grade spiritual treasures on hand, but it was evident that with the scale of Lu Tianfengs shop, they couldnt accommodate another three.

Over the next hour, Chen Fei visited three more shops and successfully sold the remaining high-grade spiritual treasures.

Each item sold for a slightly higher price than usual, with some fetching ten percent more, and the higher-quality ones even fetching up to twenty percent more.

After selling the five spiritual treasures, Chen Fei didnt sell anything else because there was no need to. The total income from the five high-grade spiritual treasures exceeded thirteen thousand high-grade elemental stones.

This was an astonis.h.i.+ng amount of elemental stones, surpa.s.sing the total Chen Fei had obtained before.

Of course, the value of the hereditary techniques from the nine major forces far exceeded this number. However, these techniques were not easy to buy or sell.

Even in a city like Bianhu City, which was said to have no taboos, it had its own limitations. Such treasures from top forces, especially techniques, were absolutely untouchable.

Otherwise, if they were to attract the attention of a peak-level Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, even Bianhu City would disappear.

Chen Fei purchased some elixirs, took a few laps around Sea Dominion City to shake off any tails, then returned to the cultivation chamber.

As Chen Fei sold these high-grade spiritual treasures, a subtle undercurrent began to ripple through Sea Dominion City..
