Chapter 596

The high-end treatment Zi Chen gave made the two petrified instantly.

After a long time, the two woke up from their petrified state. Such treatment was enough to make them risk their lives. Heifeng asked again, "What if there are stubborn people who are not willing?"

This was just a casual question from Heifeng. He believed that the treatment Zi Chen gave could move every Elixir essence.

Unexpectedly, when Zi Chen heard this, he actually said coldly, "Then kill them. I want you to gather all the Alchemy Essences in this area within three days. After three days, I hope that all the Alchemy Essences that I see will be useful to me."

Zi Chen's words could be said to be extremely domineering. His words also revealed decisiveness and ruthlessness. To put it bluntly, Zi Chen only gave the Core Origins of this area two choices. One was to obey and enjoy high-end treatment, the other was to resist and die.

Such a decisive and even extreme recruitment made the two frown slightly. Then, Heifeng asked respectfully, "Sir, why are you in such a hurry to recruit Elixir essence? Is there something urgent?"

"I offended a big force in the inner area. They have sent Elixir essence and should be here soon. I don't have enough people, so I have to gather more Elixir essence to restrain them. This is a battle of Elixir essence. It's useless to fly, so I need more Elixir essence to fight." Zi Chen did not hide and said honestly.

Zi Chen's honesty made the two of them feel more at ease.

"There's no need to hide when you go to recruit Elixir essence. Just tell the truth. Those who are willing to come can stay. Those who are unwilling can be sent on their way."

The two nodded. They finally understood that such high-end treatment was not so easy to get. They had to work hard or die.

"Go and do this now. Longhu will go with you. The faster the better. If anyone dares to resist, kill them directly. No need to be polite. You must bring back all the Elixir essence in three days."

The two nodded and did not waste any more time. They turned into auroras and left. Longhu quickly followed.

However, not long after, Hei Feng actually turned back. He looked like he had something to say but hesitated.

"Yes." Zi Chen looked at him.

"My Lord, if you really need a lot of Dan essence, there is a place you can try. There is a lot of Dan essence there, but …"

"Just what?"

"It's just that although their strength is at the Inner Core level, they have not experienced the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. They have the strength of Inner Core level, but they do not have the powerful battle strength of Inner Core level. Just like the two of them, they are just ordinary Inner Core level cultivators." Hei Feng looked at the Inner Core level cultivators beside him.

These were the two Primal Core cultivators from before. Now, they were following Zi Chen and had successfully obtained the Elixir Weapon.

In the path of cultivation, the Inner Core realm was the first tribulation. After reaching the Full Circle of the Zephyr realm, one would have to go through the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation and reach the Inner Core realm.

It was an indisputable fact that every cultivator had to undergo heavenly lightning tribulation in order to reach the Inner Core realm. But ever since he came to the Bedlam Lands, Zi Chen found it strange that many Inner Core experts were able to reach the Inner Core realm without undergoing heavenly lightning tribulation.

Although their battle prowess was not strong, the Jindan essence in their bodies was genuine Jindan essence.

"What is going on? How can they reach the Inner Core realm without undergoing heavenly lightning tribulation?" Zi Chen asked puzzledly.

Zi Chen only knew one thing to avoid heavenly lightning tribulation, and that was the Tribulation Avoidance Pill. However, the cost of this pill was not cheap, and the price was even higher. Most Zephyrs could not afford it, and Zi Chen had never seen such a pill for sale in the Bedlam Lands.

"That is the most unique place in the Bedlam Lands. It is called the Core Formation Pavilion. All Zephyr great circle cultivators can avoid heavenly lightning tribulation and reach the Inner Core realm as long as they reach there."

"What?!"

Zi Chen was stunned, and his expression changed. "There is actually such a magical place in this world?"

Hei Feng nodded and said, "That place is very mysterious. It is said that it appeared in the Bedlam Lands on its own after the lightning tribulation. But there are pros and cons. The Inner Core cultivators who come out of the Core Formation Pavilion have weaker battle prowess than ordinary Inner Core cultivators, and their potential will also be suppressed. If they do not have a fortuitous encounter, it will be difficult for them to improve their cultivation."

"It doesn't matter if their battle prowess is weak, as long as there are a lot of them." Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "Tell me where that place is."

"My Lord, don't be hasty. Let me finish first. Although this Core Formation Pavilion is magical, it has always been under the control of the overlords. Moreover, there are also experts from the overlords guarding that place."

"Overlords? What are they guarding there for? Could it be that they want to recruit Inner Core cultivators? But haven't they all gone through heavenly lightning tribulation?"

Zi Chen asked, puzzled. One must know that the requirements of the overlords were very strict. They would not accept ordinary Inner Core cultivators.

"No, no, they are not trying to recruit them. They are only guarding that place to collect yuan stones. At the same time, they are also guarding against others who want to occupy that place." Hei Feng hastily said.

"Collect yuan stones."

"Yes, my Lord. Every Zephyr who goes in has to pay a hundred thousand low-grade yuan stones."

Behind Zi Chen, an Inner Core cultivator respectfully said, "But the main purpose of the overlords guarding that place is not to collect yuan stones, but to prevent other forces from occupying that place, so that they can gather an army of Inner Core cultivators."

This explanation was immediately understood by Zi Chen.

In this chaotic land, ordinary Inner Core cultivators were the most numerous. Although they were not strong individually, once they formed an army, they would be extremely terrifying.

The chaotic land had been under the control of the overlords for many years, and there had not been any large-scale battles. Therefore, if the overlords were to call back these Inner Core cultivators, it would only increase their burden. As for the other forces in Chaos City, they did not have the capital to start a war, so they would not want these ordinary Inner Core cultivators.

Therefore, these Inner Core cultivators were divided up and scattered to various regions, and then consumed by killing each other.

"How many overlords are guarding that place?" After understanding all this, Zi Chen already had a plan in mind.

These Inner Core cultivators might be burdensome to others, but to the rich Zi Chen, it was not a problem at all.

"My Lord, there is only one person, but he has the strength of a mid-stage Inner Core cultivator." The Inner Core cultivator behind Zi Chen spoke.

Hei Feng had already left to recruit other Inner Core cultivators. As for the remaining details, the two Inner Core cultivators explained them to Zi Chen.

After a while, Zi Chen completely understood. Moreover, the Core Formation Pavilion was not far from here. If Zi Chen traveled at his fastest speed, he could reach it in a day.

Zi Chen glanced at the crowd, and finally his gaze landed on Wang Qiong. He said, "I will leave for a few days. You all can stay here, right?"

"Don't worry. Even if we meet a mid-stage Inner Core cultivator, we can still fight." Wang Qiong nodded.

"Good. You all go find a place to set up the formation in these few days. I will be back soon."

As soon as Zi Chen finished speaking, the Heavenly Thunder Wings appeared on his back. As the wings flapped, he led a Inner Core cultivator to the Core Formation Pavilion.

Hei Feng and Wild Wolf led Longhu to the first big force fifty thousand miles away. It was a new force called the Wan Shan Sect.

The sect leader, Wan Shan, was an Inner Core cultivator who had withstood the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. He was very strong. Moreover, he had two Inner Core cultivators who had withstood the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. Together with the other Inner Core cultivators, their overall strength was almost comparable to the Black Wolf Bastion. Today, the Black Wolf Bastion had gathered people to attack a Primordial Stone mine of the Wan Shan Sect.

The fifty thousand miles journey was quickly covered by the fast speed. Looking at the buildings in the mountain and the flickering figures, Wild Wolf immediately shouted, "Wan Shan, come out!"

Yu Kong of the Wan Shan Sect in the mountain did not recognize Wild Wolf and Hei Feng. However, when he felt the Inner Core aura surging from them, he was extremely shocked.

"Wild Wolf, Black Wind, what are you two doing here? You even brought an exotic beast with you. Are you here to deliver me a mount?" A loud and clear voice rang out from the mountain.

Then, five figures flew out from the mountain. All of them were surging with Inner Core aura. The leader was the sect leader of the Wan Shan Sect, Wan Shan. He was a middle-aged man with a strong body and big eyes. Since they were enemies, the five of them looked at Wild Wolf and Hei Feng with unfriendly expressions.

"Are you two here to send me a mount?" Wan Shan asked again with a loud voice.

"Roar."

Wan Shan's disrespect made Longhu furious. He roared into the sky. Under the shocking roar of the dragon and tiger, Longhu's body glowed. He took a step in the air and the void began to crack like the earth. The cracks spread out like a spider web.

The five of them were shocked by Longhu's power. They kept retreating until they were outside of the crack. Then, they looked at Longhu in shock.

"Puff."

Longhu snorted. Suddenly, a blazing flame spewed out and spread in all directions. Seeing the entire void distorting crazily because of the flame, Wan Shan and the others were even more frightened.

"Wan Shan, your Wan Shan Sect has more than five Inner Core experts, right? Call them all out. I have something to say today."

Longhu's display of strength shocked the crowd, and the people below were stunned. Amid the dead silence, Heifeng spoke at the right time.

"Hei Feng, what do you mean? Our Wan Shan Sect is not afraid of your Black Wolf Stronghold. You want to order us around? No way." Although there was still fear in Wan Shan's eyes, his voice was still loud.

"The Black Wolf Stronghold no longer exists from today onwards. The two of us have joined other forces. Today, we are here to ask you to join us."

As soon as Hei Feng finished speaking, the five Inner Core experts widened their eyes in disbelief.

"What did you say?" Wan Shan asked with his eyes wide open.

The Black Wolf Stronghold had almost become the overlord of the outer region. It could be said that they were an existence that could call the wind and summon the rain. How could they join other forces?

"See? This is Longhu, the mount of our master. Although it is only in the Flight Realm, it will have no problem trampling you to death." Hei Feng pointed at the mighty Longhu.

Looking at Longhu, Wan Shan's mouth could not help but twitch. The other party was indeed terrifyingly strong, so strong that it made him fearful. Moreover, Wan Shan actually felt a suppressive aura from the other party that came from the soul.

Seeing that they were silent for a long time, Hei Feng spoke again, "Before coming here, our master said that you only have two choices. One is to obey, and the other is to die."

"You are threatening us." Wang Shan's aura began to surge. The other four Inner Core experts were also very alert.

Hei Feng shook his head and said, "This is not a threat. This is the truth."
