Chapter 2329
This time, Zi Chen's harvest was split between the four of them according to their agreement.
Of course, Zi Chen didn't share the Sacred Origin Liquid he got from the Huo Te Clan.
It wasn't because he was too stingy, but because the four of them were determined not to accept it.
Just the harvest from the battle with Moon Wolf this time was all Zi Chen's work alone. Not only did he not thank Zi Chen for saving his life, he even took away several hundred drops. This was already a huge advantage for him. How could he dare to take anything from Zi Chen?
In the Huo Te Clan, Zi Chen had gotten more than a thousand drops of Sacred Origin Liquid alone.
Other than that, the items that were used to pull the cart were also worth a lot. Old Fart Wei kept some that he could use, while he sold the rest to Old Fart Ge.
After this incident, other than Zi Chen, Old Fart Ge was the one who benefited the most.
After receiving so much Sacred Origin Liquid, Xiu Qi and the other three went into seclusion, striving to break through to the second rank in one go.
Zi Chen prepared some things and headed to the small village he lived in when he first came to this world.
After dark, the night wind whistled as the Divine Mosquitoes and Divine Ants appeared again.
Seeing the black mass of Divine Ants rushing towards him with the wind, Zi Chen chuckled and moved forward at extreme speed.
At this moment, his speed had already surpassed the speed of the wind. No matter how the Divine Mosquitoes and Divine Ants chased after him with the help of the wind, they couldn't catch up to Zi Chen.
To him, the night was no longer a danger.
Zi Chen saw the small village from afar and chuckled as he walked towards the stone house in the depths.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
In the dark night, there was a knock on the door.
In the stone house, the old man who was sleeping soundly was startled. He flipped over and looked out the window vigilantly.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
There was another knock on the door. This time, it was clearer and more forceful.
The old man was bewildered. He wasn't sure what was knocking on the door so late at night. He had no intention of opening the door. At this moment, Zi Chen's voice rang out, "Old man, open the door. It's me!"
"Zi Chen!"
The old man recognized Zi Chen's voice. His eyes flashed with surprise, but they were soon filled with worry. He immediately got off the bed to open the door.
"Why are you back so late?"
After opening the door, the old man looked Zi Chen up and down a few times. After seeing that he was unharmed, he was relieved and said with a slight reproach, "It's dangerous to walk in the dark. Come in quickly."
Zi Chen walked into the room with his bag on his back. The old man looked at this scene and started to worry again. "Are you trying to convince Hui Town that you can't survive anymore? Are you going to follow this old man and continue to mine?"
Zi Chen put the bundle on the table and looked back at the old man with a smile. "How is that possible?
I'm doing really well.
I've been preparing to leave Sohui Town recently, so I came to see you. "
"Leave? Where to?" The old man was startled.
"Mingfei Town!"
"You actually went there? Are you trying to stir up trouble in Town?"
"More or less!
I am now a Level 7 Hunter.
Let's not talk about me anymore. Today, I brought you some good wine and meat. Try it. "
Zi Chen opened the bundle. There were some beast meat and two jugs of wine.
The old man was an alcoholic. When he saw the two jugs of wine, he grabbed one of them and opened it without hesitation.
Suddenly, the fragrance of the wine filled his nose. The old man took a big gulp and smacked his lips.
He grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. The old man said with a lisp, "Not bad. You even know to bring something back for this old man. It seems like you are doing well in Sohui Town.
Kid, I didn't misjudge you. You have a conscience! "
"Bringing you some food is called having a conscience?
Back then, I gave you a house. "Zi Chen laughed involuntarily.
"That's different!"
"How is it different?
To show that I have a conscience, how about I ask Hui Town to give you a big house? "
"Kid, it seems like you are doing well!"
"Of course!
How about it? Think about it. A big house. You can live in it or open a shop. You won't have to mine in the future. "Zi Chen looked at the old man hopefully.
"Forget it. This old man is quite comfortable living here. I am too lazy to move.
Kid, you really have a conscience. Don't die outside. Find some time to come back and visit this old man. Also, bring some meat. You should know that I can't eat this kind of meat here. "
The two of them chatted for half the night. The old man stubbornly insisted on staying here. This made Zi Chen feel very helpless.
Early the next morning, Zi Chen left.
Before he left, he left about a hundred drops of Sacred Source Liquid for the old man.
Of course, the old man refused. However, Zi Chen insisted on letting the old man awaken his ability.
As a Sage King, there was no need to mention the old man's potential. With the Sacred Source Liquid, it was inevitable that he would awaken his ability.
Even if he wanted to live a low-key life in the mountain village, he should be a low-key ability user and not an ordinary person.
This way, he would be able to protect himself in the face of unexpected situations.
When he returned to Sohui Town, Xiu Qi and the others still hadn't broken through. Zi Chen began to consume the Sacred Source Liquid drop by drop to strengthen himself.
As a second rank hunter, there was nothing to be proud of. This was because the Jiatu Emperor had said that for people like them who had special missions, it was just the beginning.
Even among the three great families, there were pitifully few Saint-level bodies.
Without the Rainbow Sacred Tree, it was very difficult to nurture an existence with a Saint-level body.
The Jiatu family could only nurture four people at the same time. It was almost the limit. Giving Zi Chen a spot was more or less the reason why the Jiatu family hadn't been able to nurture a fifth Saint-level body.
A Saint-level body had great potential in this world. However, Zi Chen didn't understand the significance of this potential.
A few days later, Xiu Qi came to the smithy to find Zi Chen and tell him that he had become a second rank hunter.
In fact, he had only been one step away from becoming a second rank hunter. Now that he had so much Sacred Source Liquid, he had smoothly taken that last step.
He wasn't the only one. Xiang Xuan and the others would also break through in the shortest time possible.
"Congratulations!"
Zi Chen was very happy about Xiu Qi's breakthrough. This way, he would have one more assistant when he entered Mingfei Town.
The two of them had a private meeting before Xiu Qi returned to her residence to wait for the three of them to break through. Zi Chen returned to the smithy and consumed the Sacred Source Liquid drop by drop.
When the Sacred Source Liquid entered the body, it would automatically strengthen the body without the need for any technique to control it.
Moreover, this strengthening method was very comprehensive. It could strengthen almost every part of the body.
Everyone consumed the Sacred Source Liquid to strengthen the body in the same way. The only difference was the speed at which the body absorbed the Sacred Source Liquid.
Take Zi Chen and Xiu Qi for example. Zi Chen absorbed a drop of Sacred Source Liquid ten times faster than Xiu Qi.
If Zi Chen could refine ten drops of Sacred Source Liquid a day, then with Xiu Qi's speed, she could only refine ten drops in ten days. On average, she could only refine one drop a day.
This was potential!
There was no doubt that Zi Chen's potential was extremely high!
During the refining process, Zi Chen's physical strength also increased in all aspects, causing Zi Chen's body to change again and again.
Weng!
One day, after refining a drop of Sacred Source Liquid, Zi Chen suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from his body. Then, an indescribable feeling filled his entire body.
This feeling made Zi Chen feel refreshed and unprecedentedly comfortable.
"Did I break through?"
Feeling the changes in his body, Zi Chen stretched out his hand and carefully observed.
The power in his body was rapidly increasing. The feeling of power spreading throughout his body made Zi Chen so comfortable that he wanted to tremble.
He had really broken through.
Zi Chen, who had only broken through to Rank 7 not long ago, had broken through once again and become a Rank 8 Hunter.
There wasn't a single Rank 8 Hunter in the entire Sohui Town.
Furthermore, after breaking through, Zi Chen felt that his strength and speed had greatly increased.
If Xiu Qi and the others were to know that Zi Chen had broken through at this time, their jaws would drop to the ground in shock. This was because Zi Chen's advancement speed was too fast, so fast that it was abnormal.
After breaking through, Zi Chen did not go out, but continued to refine the Sacred Source Liquid in his room.
To him, this breakthrough was like a bucket that was filled with water being replaced with a bigger one. The water that was about to overflow could be refilled.
Under such circumstances, Zi Chen's improvement was extremely fast.
The entire Sohui Town had limited resources and could not accommodate too many Rank 7 Hunters. If a Rank 8 Hunter wanted to break through, the resources here could not satisfy them.
After waiting for half a month, Xiang Xuan and the other two broke through one after another.
At this point, the four of them had all become Rank 7 Hunters and possessed extremely powerful battle strength.
After staying in Sohui Town for a day, the group of five embarked on their journey to Ming Fei Town.
Old Fart Wei, who rarely went out, sent the five of them out of the town and waved his hand at them: "Don't die outside, if you can't do well, come back."
After that, he said to Zi Chen: "I won't be long-winded about being careful, you should be very clear.
If you have the chance to enter the town, send my regards to Master, and tell him that their arrangement back then was correct.
If you really have the chance to go out, tell Junior Brother. After knowing that he is still alive, Senior Brother is very happy. "
Zi Chen nodded solemnly.
Xiu Qi and the others looked at Zi Chen with some surprise. Everyone knew that once they came here, they would not be able to leave, but Old Fart Wei actually said that there was a chance to go out.
At this moment, they were extremely curious about Zi Chen's identity.
Old Fart Wei did not send them off with his eyes, but turned and returned to the town.
"After staying here for so many years, I really can't bear to leave so suddenly." Xiu Qi said with some regret.
"So what, let's hurry up and go, I still want to go to Ming Fei Town to buy a powerful puppet."
Tang Pu said impatiently. Now that he had a lot of Saint Source Liquid on him, he was still brooding about not being able to exchange for a puppet that he wanted.
Ming Fei Town was quite a distance away from Sohui Town, and required a few days to reach. On the way, they would occasionally encounter Pseudo Divine Beasts, and under normal circumstances, even Rank 6 Hunters would have to form a team to reach Ming Fei Town.
The journey was peaceful, and everyone had some complaints about it. After breaking through to Rank 7, they had not fought and tested their own battle strength.
