Chapter 760

In order to increase their chances of survival on the ancient road, Zi Chen and the other two had no choice but to ignore the others and focus solely on robbing.

Furthermore, from the current situation, the three of them who had offended the guardian would enter the ancient road of the strongest by themselves. There would be no other enemies of the same kind.

Therefore, the three of them no longer had any reason to hold back.

Thus, the three of them began to frantically rob each other on the ancient road. It seemed that such an unbridled robbery was the first time in the history of the ancient road.

The cultivators who dared to come here all believed themselves to be extraordinary and powerful. They were all arrogant and proud, so they naturally weren't happy that Zi Chen and the other two were frantically robbing them. Thus, they began to frantically counterattack.

However, no matter how frantic their counterattacks were, Zi Chen and the other two's attacks were even more frantic than theirs. However, after several experts were defeated, the crowd had no choice but to accept the fact that they had been robbed.

That was because the battle prowess of the three fearless people was simply too strong.

During this time, many Dan essence cultivators spontaneously formed their own factions to resist Zi Chen. However, under the powerful attacks of the three, each faction collapsed.

"Yao Tingfei, if you don't hand over a thousand drops of liquefied origin essence, then we'll see who's better today."

Zi Chen's figure flashed, and he flew towards Yao Tingfei who was trying to leave. He instantly blocked his path.

"Zi Chen, I just gave you a thousand drops of liquefied origin essence. What else do you want?" Yao Tingfei's face was gloomy. Beside him, the other four also had extremely ugly expressions.

"That was compensation. This is robbery. These are two different things."

Zi Chen said coldly, "Give me another thousand drops of liquefied origin essence, and we'll still be strangers when we meet in the future. Otherwise, we'll fight to the death today."

"Then let's fight. A mere Houtian realm cultivator is an existence that can be seen everywhere. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Yao Tingfei glared angrily.

"If you're not afraid, then let's fight to the death. If you die, your resources and women will all be mine for my enjoyment. If I die, then I'll be free and won't have to go to the ancient road of the strongest," Zi Chen said in a carefree manner.

Zi Chen's words were half threatening and half threatening, which made Yao Tingfei's face turn ugly.

After the battle, if he won, it might anger the trial challengers in the passageway and cause them to arrange for him to enter. If he didn't fight, he would lose all face. Not only that, but the other party's arrogant attitude really made him unhappy.

At this moment, Yao Tingfei didn't know whether to fight or not. This caused him to fall into a dilemma. The two female cultivators beside him had ashen faces and clenched their teeth. What did he mean by 'enjoy'? What did he take them for?

"Cut the crap. Let's fight." Zi Chen's body surged with a terrifying aura that could only be possessed by extreme energy. He was a genuine Heaven level warrior.

"I'll give you a thousand liquefied elemental essence. What if you ask me for more?" After a moment's hesitation, Yao Tingfei ultimately chose not to be enemies with Zi Chen.

"Give me liquefied elemental essence, and we'll still be strangers when we meet," Zi Chen replied indifferently.

"Hmph, if there's a next time, I'll definitely fight you to the death." Yao Tingfei coldly snorted and then gave Zi Chen another thousand liquefied elemental essence.

Situations like Yao Tingfei's weren't rare. They weren't truly afraid of Zi Chen, but to fight with the unscrupulous Zi Chen in this place would only bring more harm than good. The gains didn't make up for the losses.

As a result, quite a few of them had the idea of spending money to avoid disaster.

After Luo Ke's resources had been snatched away by Zi Chen, he had always felt indignant. That was why he had followed Zi Chen the entire time, hoping to find an opportunity to get his resources back.

But what happened next caused Luo Ke's shock to soar to the extreme. Qin Haodong had actually fought fiercely with the passageway's guardian, and his powerful combat strength had shocked everyone. Then he had brazenly attacked all of the cultivators present to steal their resources. Such behavior was simply that of a bandit.

But no matter how angry they were, they didn't dare to say anything. They all obediently handed over their liquefied elemental essence. In just a single day, the amount of resources the three of them had stolen was an extremely shocking number.

Thinking back to his past self and then looking at Qin Haodong again, Luo Ke suddenly felt weak.

Inside the tavern, looking at Zi Chen's group sitting in their previous seats, the tavern owner's eyes were filled with envy. Compared to the speed at which they were accumulating wealth, his tavern's income was simply too weak.

Three large cups of light golden wine were placed in front of the three of them. The monk didn't touch a single drop of wine and gave his cup to the Devil Ape. As for Zi Chen, he wanted to feel what was so special about this wine.

After taking a light sip, a spicy feeling spread out as the wine entered his stomach. Then, the wine transformed into a blazing energy, causing Zi Chen's body to feel as though it was on fire.

This blazing energy surged into his limbs and bones, slowly being absorbed by his body. This wine was actually able to strengthen his physique. Even with Zi Chen's perfect physique, he had a reaction after drinking the wine.

And Zi Chen finally understood why those people from before would take so long to drink a single cup of wine. It turned out that they were refining it, and they didn't want to waste even the slightest bit of energy.

After tasting the sweetness of the wine, Zi Chen wanted to use this wine to once again transform his physique. After quickly drinking a large cup of wine and refining it, Zi Chen loudly said, "Boss, one more cup."

The tavern owner looked at Zi Chen and said, "Sorry, this tavern only sells one cup a day. If you need it, please come back tomorrow."

Zi Chen was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. If this kind of wine could be bought in unlimited quantities, Zi Chen wouldn't mind buying a thousand cups in an instant.

Zi Chen's extremely fast speed of refining a large cup attracted several sidelong glances, including Yao Tingfei. However, when they thought about the other party's powerful battle strength and powerful physique, it was understandable that he could refine the wine so quickly.

Intentionally or unintentionally, when Zi Chen's gaze swept across the other customers in the tavern, everyone's face would more or less carry a smile. There was no helping it, if you put on a cool appearance, then sorry, you would be robbed.

The three of them were now like vicious wolves, biting whoever they found unpleasant to the eye. However, those who were bitten didn't have any way to save themselves.

The devil ape refined two cups at a relatively slow speed, so Zi Chen and Yao Tingfei patiently waited. After the devil ape finished refining, the three of them left.

After the three of them left, the atmosphere in the tavern clearly eased up. Everyone's mood also improved, and they weren't as uncomfortable as before.

Now, the three of them were like ferocious rats crossing the street. Although everyone disliked them, they didn't dare to chase after them. They could only avoid them like snakes and scorpions.

After leaving the tavern, the devil ape said, "If I can drink this kind of wine for a while, I can definitely break through."

"But there's only one cup a day. Including mine, there's only two cups. Why don't we rob the tavern?" Tyrant suggested.

Zi Chen glanced at Tyrant snappily. "That owner came back from the ancient road. His battle strength is unimaginable. If you don't mind dying early and in a very ugly way, then you can go by yourself."

"Then what should we do? We can't rob, and we can't drink."

"What else can we do? We can only wait. After one day, we'll go the next day. Also, we'll pray that the number of people will be gathered later."

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "I really envy those guys who have stayed here for a few years. If we can stay here for a few years, we can break through just by drinking. From tomorrow onwards, I'll give my cup to the devil ape so that it can break through earlier."

"How can that be? That thing is also good for you." The devil ape looked at Zi Chen.

"It is good, but it's not very obvious. I'll continue to refine the ancient beast's blood essence and slowly improve my physique. As for you, try to improve your realm as soon as possible. Once you enter the middle stage of the Inner Core realm, your battle strength will greatly increase. This is a good thing for us." Zi Chen said calmly.

However, on the second day, Zi Chen inadvertently found out from the tavern owner that even though the three of them were assigned to the strongest ancient road, they couldn't travel together. This was because each of them had their own path. Before they set foot on a certain path, the three of them wouldn't meet.

"Damn it." Zi Chen heard this and cursed in his heart.

At first, he thought that the three of them could travel together and take care of each other. However, after hearing this, his fantasy was completely ruined.

Knowing that the three of them couldn't be together, the devil ape resolutely refused to drink Zi Chen's cup of wine. Zi Chen only said, "One person dying is better than two dying."

"Alright, I'll give it all to you. The three cups are yours every day. You refine them and break through," the devil ape said decisively without even thinking.

Zi Chen was extremely moved, but he shook his head and said, "It's only been a year since I broke through to the early stage of the Inner Core realm. It's unrealistic for me to break through quickly. You've been in this realm for dozens of years and have long reached the peak. You'll break through soon. This thing is very suitable for you."

In the end, the devil ape didn't argue with Zi Chen and refined three cups of wine every day.

For the first two days, they didn't pay for the wine. However, on the third day, the tavern owner announced that it was time to pay for the wine. Moreover, it was only now that Zi Chen and the other two found out about the strange price of the wine.

If the first cup of wine was worth twenty liquefied yuan, then the second cup on the second day would be forty, the third would be eighty, and so on and so forth.

After more than ten days, this cup of wine would become an extremely large number. This number was not something that many people could bear.

However, if he didn't come within seven days, then everything would start from scratch. That would be twenty yuan liquefied essence per cup, and so on.

At present, the highest record in this region was ten days. On the tenth day, a single cup of wine would cost 65,795 drops of low-grade origin liquid.

If exchanged for mid-grade Origin Liquefied Origin Energy, it would be 657 drops.

It was said that the person who held this record was an extremely powerful human expert. Other than his own extraordinary battle prowess, he also had a huge force behind him.

This record had not been broken for a long time, but this time, this record was tied by someone.

In just ten short days, Zi Chen's group of three had paid over a hundred thousand liquefied essence. And on the eleventh day, Zi Chen continued to ask for more. This record that had stood for so many years was once again broken.

PS: The tenth watch has ended.

There have been many things happening this month, and the number of updates is also the least in several months. There is actually a problem with today's tenth watch, because I only updated one chapter yesterday. But the end of the month is approaching, and there are many things to do, so I had no choice but to do this.

In truth, I had typed quite a few words at the end, but after thinking about it, I deleted them. Perhaps this is the tragedy of being an adult. Before doing something, you always have to think carefully. You don't have the drive to throw caution to the wind, and you don't have the joy of revenge.

Tomorrow and the next two days, I have things to do. They are trivial matters, but they are a waste of time. The update might even be slow. My goal is to constantly update. In the future, whenever I have something to do, I will add it at the end of the previous chapter, so that everyone won't be angry from waiting. But I'm also burning with impatience, and when I'm anxious, my mind becomes a complete blank.
