"Hehe, I did not expect to see the Red Water Little Man here. He did not join the last tea gathering because he thought that he was not powerful enough to shock the world."
The tallest restaurant in the Thunder Pool City was the eighteen floored Treasure Palace, which was one of the top three restaurants just like the Wind Rain Restaurant. On the eighteenth floor, a young man in plain clothes watched the battle outside the Wind Rain Restaurant from dozens of miles away. The red-robed young man and Huang Kaishan did not escape his sight either.
The pretty girl in green chuckled, "Head disciple, you should prepare to shock the world this time as well."
The young man shook his head, "I am not powerful enough to shock the world. On the other hand, that Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng are very powerful. Perhaps, this is not all of their power yet."
"Head disciple, why do you have to look down on your own?" The girl in green was indeed Feng Yanrou's sister disciple, Qingzhu. And the head disciple she was talking about was naturally the head disciple of the Floating Snow Martial School, Ling Hanye. Right then, she made a face, not satisfied with her head disciple's attitude.
Ling Hanye forced a smile. This little sister disciple of his always said whatever was on her mind.
Frowning, the beautiful Feng Yanrou in white said, "Qingzhu, when you get to the tea gathering, do not speak without thinking. Everything should be based on facts."
"Got it!"
Qingzhu stuck out her tongue.
Standing up, Ling Hanye said to the two, "Alright, we have rested in the Thunder Pool City for two days. Let's get going."
…
"You two, I am Lu Ming from the Mountain Region, also known as the Flying Hand. This is my first time in the Thunder region, and it is my honor to meet you two."
"I am Sun Peng from the Mountain Region. I would like to make friends with you two."
"You two are here for the tea gathering, right? How about we travel together? "
In the lobby of the fifth floor, after Murong Qingcheng had beaten Luo Qiu, a lot of young warriors came to greet them. However, most of them were martial geniuses from the Mountain Region. The Mountain Region was very similar to the South Rudra Region, having been weak for a long time. However, there had been a Life and Death Realm warrior from the Mountain Region two hundred years ago, which was better than the South Rudra Region. As for the geniuses from other regions, they did not think that it was necessary to make friends with them, since they did not lack powerful martial geniuses in their own regions.
After getting rid of these people, Ye Chen and the other three walked down the fifth floor and picked a VIP room on the fourth floor, not wanting to be disturbed.
Inside the private room, the four sat facing each other.
Gu Youyun said, "I should have guessed that you guys would participate in this Martial Tea Gathering. The Thunder Princess' reputation is unprecedented. Almost every genius wants to get to know her."
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng looked at each other.
The two never expected that after leaving the underground world, they would directly appear in the Thunder Region's Thunder Grave and hear the news about the Martial Tea Gathering. Of course, even without the Undying Body and the underground world, they would most likely come after hearing that the Martial Tea Gathering was about to begin.
Ye Chen asked, "Are there many people from the South Rudra Region participating?"
"You might not know this, but all of the rank 6 martial institutions are encouraging their disciples to join the tea gathering. In the past, the South Rudra Region had been weak for a long time, and had never been able to rise up again. The biggest reason was that the circle was too small, and the competition was not strong enough. So, having them join the tea gathering would allow them to see all of the martial geniuses in the whole South region. It would allow them to know how big the outside world is, and how powerful the powerful martial geniuses are. Then, they would naturally train hard and try their best to stand out in the next tea gathering." Gu Youyun explained.
Ye Chen nodded. That was indeed true.
Gu Youyun said again, "Before me, Yan Chihuo, Li Daoxuan, and Lin Yun had all left. I estimate that there would be at least twenty people from the South Rudra Region participating in the tea gathering."
"My head disciple had participated in the last tea gathering, so he would definitely join again this time." Li Jie said suddenly.
Ye Chen glanced at Li Jie. He had a lot of conflicts with the Floating Mountain Martial School. Although it had ended because of Long Biyun, the leader of the school, there was still a knot in their hearts. He understood the reason why Sikong Sheng had mentioned him. Plus, he also knew that it was impossible for Sikong Sheng to not have made a breakthrough in the past four years. He was afraid that his power would be way more powerful than Gu Youyun's.
Gu Youyun looked at Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng with a complicated expression. To be honest, it would be impossible for her not to feel scared about participating in this tea gathering. The South Rudra Region did not have any glorious image in the eyes of the other regions. In their eyes, the South Rudra Region was the epitome of weaklings, and there were no powerful martial geniuses at all. She was clear that with her own power, she would not be able to make any waves in the tea gathering. She would not even be qualified to serve as a foil. If she was provoked, she would not know what to do.
The good thing was that Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng had shown up.
Ye Chen was a legend in the South Rudra Region. It was his first time participating in the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions, but he had already overturned his head disciple Sikong Sheng's ruling position. In the past four years, the rumors about him had never stopped. Everyone was guessing what kind of realm he had reached, and whether or not he could lead everyone out of the South Rudra Region and compete with the geniuses from the other regions.
Although a lot of people thought that the current Sikong Sheng should not be weaker than Ye Chen, it was just an assumption without any proof. If Ye Chen could maintain his power, the possibility of him beating Sikong Sheng again would be much higher than the possibility of Sikong Sheng overtaking him.
And Murong Qingcheng, who was standing right next to Ye Chen, was the epitome of the most beautiful girl in the whole South Rudra Region. When people talked about her, they would definitely talk about her beauty. Her power came second, and Gu Youyun thought that she was just so-so. But now that she had met her again, she realized that she had left her far behind, reaching a realm that she could not even see. Even without Ye Chen, the head disciple Sikong Sheng's position would still be in danger, and Murong Qingcheng would definitely have the power to fight for the throne of the No.1 young generation in the whole South Rudra Region.
With the two of them appearing in the tea gathering, Gu Youyun felt a lot more relieved. Facing some challenges, she would at least have that much more confidence.
And this was the most complicated part. In the South Rudra Region, they were competitors, and her martial institution had conflicts with Ye Chen. They had never interacted with each other. She did not expect that once they were out of the South Rudra Region, Ye Chen would unknowingly hold up an umbrella for them, strengthening their own confidence. She did not know if it was funny or sad.
"Head disciple, I wonder how powerful you are this time." Gu Youyun sighed and thought to herself.
Time passed like water, and the sky started to turn dark.
Ye Chen and the other three stayed in the Wind and Rain Pavilion, preparing to rest for a couple of days before leaving.
…
The night was pitch black, and the sky was dotted with stars. The bright moonlight shone into the bedroom through the window, dyeing the room in a soft white color.
Sitting on the bed, Ye Chen activated the Undying Body Scroll in his mind and started to study it carefully.
The Undying Body Scroll had three levels in total. He did not have much interest in the latter two, but he could still complete the first level.
"So, the first level of Blood Flesh Healing is to increase the recovery speed of the body. Normally, warriors with light wounds would not need to be treated, as they would recover after a long time. Only some of the more serious wounds would require treatment. But, once the first level of Blood Flesh Healing is mastered, the body's recovery speed would increase by hundreds of times, and it would be healed within a second."
The more Ye Chen read, the more surprised he was. He did not expect the first level of the Undying Body Scroll to be so mysterious. Increasing the body's recovery speed was related to the mysteries of the human body.
The human brain had the memory function, and so did the human body, which was the natural source of the body's recovery. Without the memory function, the human body would be completely crippled, and even a small wound would be enough to kill you. Whether it was healing or taking pellets, it would only increase the body's recovery speed. If you lost the body's recovery ability, it would be very difficult no matter how you tried to heal it, and it might not even have the slightest effect. On the other hand, the Blood Flesh Healing realm was the same as the continuous healing process, but the effect was magnified by ten or even a hundred times.
Calming himself down, Ye Chen continued to read.
The training of the Blood Flesh Healing realm was not very difficult, but it was also very difficult.
It was not difficult because the process was very simple. There was only one step, and that was to brand the physical body with the mental mark or the soul mark. If the mental mark was successfully branded, the Blood Flesh Healing realm would be one-third completed, and if the soul mark was successfully branded, it would be a great success.
As for the difficulty, it was because it was very difficult to brand the mental mark and the soul mark on the human body. After all, the human body was not a treasure that could be branded at will. Moreover, the human body and the human soul were in the same body. It was so familiar that it could not be any worse. It was because of this familiarity that the difficulty increased by several times. It was like you could move your hands, but could you move your hair at will?
"No matter what, I should try to brand the mental mark first. When I am more familiar with it, I will start to brand the soul mark."
Ye Chen took a deep breath and carefully activated his mental power, branding the mental mark in his body.
...
"Failed!"
The human body was like an hourglass. The mental mark would disappear the moment it was branded. It could not stay for long. At most, it could only stay for a little longer.
"Try again. I should brand according to the human body's laws. There must be a way."
Night.
Ye Chen tried again and again.
Fortunately, his soul source was very powerful. No matter how many times he activated his mental power, he would not feel exhausted. Moreover, his choice was quite correct. First, he branded the mental mark. Mental power was weaker than soul power, so he could try many times. If he switched to soul power, he might not be able to persist for a long time.
"En, this time it is a little bit effective!"
After countless experiments, Ye Chen finally succeeded. This time, it was not a complete mental mark, it was incomplete. Because other parts of the body had been lost, only a part of the mental mark was left in the heart. Of course, he also found that an incomplete mental mark would eventually disappear. But at this moment, the body's recovery ability in the heart was the strongest. He suspected that without any Zhen yuan, it would not be a problem for him to pierce through the heart with a sword. It would be easy for him to repair it. This was a major breakthrough.
Taking out a dagger, Ye Chen made a shocking move. He took off his shirt and lightly inserted the dagger into the heart without activating his Zhen yuan.
Blood slowly flowed. Ye Chen stabbed three inches in, only one step away from the heart. However, he did not dare to continue. He just wanted to test the recovery speed of the heart.
In a blink of an eye, the blood had stopped!
In five blinks of an eye, the flesh had started to heal!
In thirty blinks of an eye, it was completely healed!
"Phew! This is too amazing! Without the secret cultivation method of the undying body, even if I knew how to brand the mental mark, I would not be able to succeed."
Ye Chen revealed a smile.
