Chapter 160: Fake for Real

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Guo Linshan was confused. He didn’t know what had happened to Chen Fei. However, Guo Linshan did not resist. He followed Chen Fei’s momentum and ran wildly.

Guo Linshan was not the only one who was stunned. The others were also surprised to see Chen Fei’s actions. There was clearly no danger here. Why did Chen Fei suddenly act like this?

The expressions of Jiao Xiangyuan and the other two peak stage Visceral Tempering martial artists changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, they followed behind Chen Fei. They actually had a strange feeling in their hearts, but they couldn’t explain it.

There seemed to be a feeling that made them want to stay quietly on the spot and enjoy the joy of victory. They didn’t want to move.

Because of this, after they had distributed the Dreamlike Lotus, they had all stood still and watched the others eat the seeds. They even had the urge to consume the lotus seed immediately.

It was just that their instincts had forcefully suppressed it.

Thus, when he saw Chen Fei’s actions, it was as if his nerves had been pricked, and he was unwilling to think about it. It was as if one would be misled if they thought about it seriously.

“Let’s go!”

The Visceral Tempering realm cultivator who had yet to consume the lotus seed had a struggling expression on his face. His body trembled as he followed behind Jiao Xiangyuan and the others.

As for those who had already consumed the lotus seeds, regardless of whether they were in the Marrow Tempering realm or the Visceral Tempering realm, they stood rooted to the ground and watched the others run away with a strange expression. There was only confusion on their faces, and their bodies did not move at all.

“Hmm?”

Guo Linshan was dragged by Chen Fei and ran for several hundred meters. He felt his five senses suddenly become clear as if a layer of fog had been suddenly pulled apart. His mind suddenly became alert.

“Did you feel it?”

Chen Fei stopped and saw Guo Linshan’s expression. He wiped the blood off his nose.

The backlash from Eternity Moment made Chen Fei sense that something was wrong. A Dreamlike Lotus that had already been divided should be a dead object. The most normal result of using a psychic skill on an inanimate object was that there should be no reaction.

However, the core soul energy was reflected, causing Chen Fei’s mind to be injured. It was precisely because of this injury that Chen Fei’s core soul energy, which had been concealed, suddenly awakened. The Thousand Origin Technique began to warn him frantically.

Jiao Xiangyuan and the others arrived in front of Chen Fei. Just as they were about to speak, they suddenly noticed that the lotus seeds and leaves in their hands were strange. They looked down and saw that these lotus seeds and leaves were actually trembling violently.

In the next moment, all the lotus seeds and leaves turned into little venomous toads, and it spat out poisonous fog at the person holding them.

“What is this?”

Jiao Xiangyuan and the others were shocked and subconsciously threw the venomous toad out. These venomous toads merged together in the air and disappeared in front of everyone with a cry.

The jade box in Chen Fei’s arms trembled slightly. However, this was a jade box specially made by the Alchemy Master Alliance. It could lock the vitality of the mystical ingredients and also isolate some external interference.

As for the crushed lotus seed in Chen Fei’s hand, it did not turn into a venomous toad and fly away, either because it had been hit by the core soul energy or because it had been shattered.

“Look!

Before everyone could recover from the sudden change from the lotus seed to the venomous toad, someone suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted. Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw that the martial artists who had not come over had all fallen to the ground in pain.

A person’s stomach suddenly bulged, and then vines crawled out of his facial features, and his screams stopped abruptly. The man glanced at the crowd from afar and rushed into the pool with his hands and feet. He dived into the water.

Not only this person but the martial artists who did not come over began to mutate one by one. Their mutated appearances were no different from the first one.

It was as if his body had turned into a plant. Whether it was the Marrow Tempering realm or the Visceral Tempering realm, none of them could escape this change. In the blink of an eye, nearly ten people jumped into the pool and disappeared.

This… What’s going on?”

Someone said in a trembling voice. From the joy of splitting the Dreamlike Lotus to now, they had lost everything. The appearance of those puppets made people shudder. What had happened?

“Emotions were fluctuating. We were controlled by the Dreamlike Lotus.”

Nie Quan looked at the Demon core in his hand. How is this a demon core? It’s just a piece of rock. He didn’t know when it was swapped out. The Dreamlike Lotus had made up a beautiful dream and made people fall into it.

Human emotions were the most magical. When one was extremely sad, one’s heart would die. When one was extremely angry, one could sometimes surpass one’s own strength. The Dreamlike Lotus took advantage of the fluctuating emotions to control their minds.

Jiao Xiangyuan’s expression was ugly. This was a futile effort.

The Venomous Toad was a real demon beast, but it had been controlled by the Dreamlike Lotus and had become a supporting character in the show. The Venomous Toad had killed many people, but after splitting the Dreamlike Lotus, even more people died.

In the end, they were back to zero.

If Chen Fei had not noticed that something was wrong and slightly awakened them, they would probably be in danger at this moment. They might not be able to withstand the imperceptible hypnosis and swallow the lotus seeds in their hands.

Thinking of this, Jiao Xiangyuan couldn’t help but glance at Chen Fei. He was clearly only in the Marrow Tempering realm, but not only was his archery skill powerful, but even his mental strength was extraordinary, allowing him to detect the abnormality.

Although Jiao Xiangyuan also felt that something was wrong, he couldn’t pinpoint what the problem was. He could only stand there in a daze. His thoughts seemed to have frozen.

“That Dreamlike Lotus is really fine.”

Nie Quan suddenly pointed at the pond. The Dreamlike Lotus that had disappeared had returned to its original state. It was swaying in the breeze, making one’s heart shiver.

Chen Fei looked at the pond with an unchanging expression. The Thousand Origin Technique was trembling non-stop, warning Chen Fei of the danger ahead. Fifteen minutes ago, the Thousand Origin Technique was still calm.

The Thousand Origin Technique was a combination of many mental cultivation techniques. He didn’t expect it to be deceived at such a critical moment. It could only be said that when the difference in strength was too great, no matter how strong the cultivation technique was, it was useless.

Of course, the Thousand Origin Technique was not completely ineffective. Although he was deceived, the discomfort in Chen Fei’s heart should be the result of the Thousand Origin Technique’s struggle.

Otherwise, Chen Fei wouldn’t have been so decisive in using his core soul energy and then discovering the problem.

“Junior Brother Chen, this secret realm is very dangerous now. Let’s move together.”

Jiao Xiangyuan looked at Chen Fei and continued to invite him. If Jiao Xiangyuan was only interested in Chen Fei’s archery skills before, then after what had just happened, Jiao Xiangyuan paid more attention to Chen Fei’s sense of danger.

This mystic realm was obviously abnormal. Many mystical ingredients had mutated.

Not all of them, but most of them. Without a certain level of discernment, it was likely that in the end, it would not be humans eating mystical ingredients, but mystical ingredients eating humans.

Chai Xianjun and Jiao Xiangyuan also looked at Chen Fei. However, compared to Jiao Xiangyuan, who was also from the Primordial Sword Sect, Chai Xianjun and Jiao Xiangyuan were naturally estranged from each other.

“I’m used to moving with fewer people.”

Chen Fei thought for a moment and finally shook his head. In terms of sensitivity to danger, Chen Fei was much stronger than Jiao Xiangyuan, who was at the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm.

Jiao Xiangyuan might be stronger than Chen Fei, but Chen Fei had the Starry Night Sword, Soul Chasing Step, Spatial Travel, and all sorts of perfected cultivation techniques.

Although this mystic realm was dangerous, it was not a problem for Chen Fei to protect himself.

There were many things in this secret realm, especially those mutated mystical ingredients that were useless in numbers. At that time, whether it was the distribution of benefits or the ownership of the iron plate, there would be conflicts.

In that case, Chen Fei might as well act together with Guo Linshan. At least, there would not be any disputes between the two of them because of their interests.

“That’s a pity.”

Jiao Xiangyuan looked at the determination in Chen Fei’s eyes. The words to persuade him to stay were on the tip of his tongue. He could not help but sigh.

Two invitations were Jiao Xiangyuan’s limit. Jiao Xiangyuan also had his own pride. Although Chen Fei’s performance was worth recruiting, it was impossible for Jiao Xiangyuan to invite him again and again.

As one of the few people who had the highest chance of becoming a true disciple, Jiao Xiangyuan had his own principles.

“Goodbye, everyone!”

Chen Fei cupped his hands and looked at Jiao Xiangyuan and the others before leaving. Guo Linshan also cupped his hands and followed behind Chen Fei.

“Just now, this junior brother had some seeds and leaves of the Dreamlike Lotus,” someone suddenly said as he looked at Chen Fei’s back.

“Do you still want to eat that thing?” Someone sneered.

“Seal it well and return it to the sect after leaving the mystic realm. It might be a considerable amount of contribution points.”

“This junior brother has saved our lives, and you’re still thinking about this. Goodbye!” Someone snorted coldly. He couldn’t stand the behavior of others and disappeared.

Everyone had different thoughts. They glanced at the Dreamlike Lotus in the pond, shook their heads, and left.

If he was strong enough, he could still eat the Dreamlike Lotus, as long as he could resist ita mental attack. Moreover, there were still several jade tokens under the pool. The three Visceral Tempering realm cultivators who had been dragged into the pool just now had three jade tokens under them.

However, there were so many people just now and they were almost completely wiped out. This was not something that could be done with just numbers.

Chen Fei didn’t know what those people behind him were thinking. At this moment, he and Guo Linshan flashed and rushed towards the cave.

The lotus seeds and leaves in the jade box in his arms were no longer moving. Chen Fei wanted to find a quiet place to study these things.

The Dreamlike Lotus had mutated, but that didn’t mean that it couldn’t be eaten. The key was how to eat it.

A moment later, they didn’t find anyone following them. Chen Fei and the other returned to the cave, and Chen Fei took out the jade box.

“Junior Brother, what should we do next?”

Seeing the jade box, Guo Linshan thought of what was inside and swallowed his saliva. The lotus seeds and leaves that had turned into venomous toads, as well as the miserable state of the others, had left a deep impression on Guo Linshan.

“Study how to eat them!”

Chen Fei said in a low voice. The experience in his previous life had made Chen Fei understand. Many things seemed inedible, but it was definitely because the method was wrong. As long as the method was right, many inedible things could become delicious.

These lotus seeds and leaves had mutated, but Chen Fei was an alchemist.. Wasn’t it just researching how to better eat medicinal herbs, even if they had mutated?
