Afterwards, Jianchen also temporarily walked together with this group of mercenaries. After chatting for a while, the relationship between Jianchen and this group of mercenaries unknowingly became much closer. At the same time, Jianchen also gained some understanding of this group of mercenaries.
This mercenary group was a small mercenary group called the Brotherhood. There were a total of eighty people in the group. Aside from the leader who was a high level Saint Master, there were five other Saint Masters. As for the rest, they were all Great Saints and Saints.
Because it was already late at night, Jianchen and the members of the Brotherhood Mercenary Group chatted for a while before going to rest. Jianchen took out a tent from his spatial belt and set it up. Afterwards, he took out two monster cores and entered a state of cultivation.
The energy within the monster cores was absorbed by Jianchen at an extremely terrifying speed. However, what was different from before was that as soon as the energy entered Jianchen's body, it all rushed towards the Sword Spirits in Jianchen's Dantian. Unexpectedly, not a single bit of it was absorbed by Jianchen.
The Sword Spirits were currently very weak. Their strength was not even one ten-thousandth of their peak strength. Therefore, Jianchen was not in a hurry to increase his strength. Instead, he poured the energy from the monster cores into the Sword Spirits to speed up their recovery. This was because he could already borrow a portion of the Sword Spirits' strength. As the Sword Spirits' strength increased, the amount of energy he could borrow would also increase.
Moreover, Jianchen's strength had just broken through to Great Saint Master. He did not dare to continue increasing his strength like before. Although the berserk energy from the monster cores would be absorbed by the Sword Spirits, increasing his strength too quickly would only lead to an unstable foundation. This would have a huge impact on the future.
The speed at which the Sword Spirits absorbed the energy from the monster cores was extremely fast. It was much faster than Jianchen's consumption when he cultivated in the past. A Class 4 Monster Core was completely absorbed by the Sword Spirits in just two hours.
Jianchen took a deep breath. Right now, he was shocked by the speed at which the Sword Spirits absorbed the energy from the monster cores. He did not know whether it was because the Sword Spirits had become stronger than before or because they had deliberately suppressed their rate of absorption. In short, the rate at which the Sword Spirits were absorbing the energy from the monster cores was much faster.
It was much, much faster. A Class 4 Monster Core was completely consumed in just two hours. Such a terrifying consumption rate shocked Jianchen once again.
After all, a Class 4 Monster Core was not a Class 3 Monster Core. If he consumed a Class 3 Monster Core every two hours, Jianchen could still barely endure it. However, consuming a Class 4 Monster Core in just two hours, Jianchen felt that he would not be able to endure. however, consuming a Class 4 Monster core was a bit. Although it was easy for him to kill Class 4 Magical Beasts with his current strength, Class 4 Magical Beasts were not as numerous as Class 3 Magical Beasts or Class 2 Magical Beasts.
"Sigh … … Consuming a Class 4 Monster Core in just two hours means consuming twelve Class 4 Monster Cores in a day. How can I afford this?" Jianchen secretly sighed. His brows, which had just relaxed for a short while, furrowed once again.
The night was very quiet. In the quiet camp, snoring sounds could be heard from time to time.
… …
Early in the morning, when the sun had just risen from the horizon and revealed its rosy face, the sound of conversation could be heard from outside the Loyal Mercenary Group's tent. Following this, there were also the crackling sounds of wood being burned.
Jianchen, who was sitting cross-legged in the tent, slowly opened his eyes. He immediately walked out of the tent and casually swept his gaze around.
He saw that there were already more than forty people moving about. Some were starting fires, some were putting away tents, and some were feeding their mounts. They looked very busy.
In some of the tents, there were still burly men continuously climbing out. All of them had hazy eyes and were constantly yawning. It was obvious that they did not sleep well.
Jianchen shook his head slightly, then turned around and began to put away his tent.
"Hey, Jianchen, did you sleep well last night?" At this moment, a slightly deep voice sounded from not far away. Hearing this voice, Jianchen turned around and saw a burly, bare-chested burly man walking towards him.
Jianchen recognized this person. It was the leader of the Loyal Mercenary Group, Herdov.
"En, not bad!" Jianchen replied with a smile. He did not sleep at all last night. To be more precise, Jianchen had rarely slept since he was young. Moreover, ever since he became a Saint, he slept even less. He spent almost every night cultivating.
Sleeping was nothing more than exhausting one's spirit during the day and needed sleep to recover. Once a person entered a deep sleep, their mind would go blank and enter a state of emptiness. In this state, they would not be able to feel the passage of time. Ordinary people used this most basic method to recover their spirit during the day. What was different for martial artists was that when they entered a state of cultivation, their spirit would also enter a state of emptiness. In this state, not only could his spirit recover, but the recovery speed was also much faster than when he was sleeping.
Sleeping was actually a way to recover one's spirit. For some people with strong enough spirit, it was very normal for them to not sleep for several days and nights.
After breakfast, the members of the Loyal Mercenary Group immediately set off on their journey. Since Jian Chen didn't have a mount, he sat in a carriage filled with goods as they made their way towards Wake City.
In the blink of an eye, Jianchen and the Loyal Mercenary Group had been on the road for a day. During this time, Jianchen would occasionally chat with some of the mercenaries. Unknowingly, their relationship seemed to have deepened.
At this moment, Jianchen, who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, suddenly had a change in expression. His slightly closed eyes suddenly opened and he looked forward with a sharp gaze. He shouted, "Everyone be careful, there is movement in front of us. It should be a magical beast rushing towards us."
Hearing Jianchen's shout, the group immediately stopped and looked forward with sharp eyes. But after looking for a while, there was nothing abnormal in front of them.
"Jianchen, you are too sensitive. Everything here is normal, there is no movement at all." One of the mercenaries turned to look at Jianchen and complained.
"Yes, Jianchen, you can't say such things so casually. In the future, before things are clear, you should stop joking like this." This time, it was the leader of the Loyal Mercenary Group, Herdoff, who spoke with a reproachful tone.
However, just as Herdoff finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
"Leader, there really is movement. Pay attention to the ground." One of the mercenaries standing on the ground was the first to discover the movement and immediately reported to Herdoff.
"The ground is shaking … …"
"Could it be that a cavalry team is passing by here … …"
"Could it be that we have encountered a group of magical beasts … …"
… …
Following this person's words, the rest of the Loyal Mercenary Group also discovered the movement on the ground. Their expressions became serious as they started to guess.
"Alert, alert, get ready for battle." Herdoff didn't hesitate at all as he yelled out his orders.
