Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Chapter 533 - 315: Successor of the Five Emperors Fist—His Talent Is Decent

Watching Wei Fan and Feng Hua leave, Zhou Shen waved his wide sleeve, the door of the room fully closed, and in a flash, he disappeared from the room.

A moment later, he appeared in a secret chamber.

"Old man, you’re not on duty above, what are you doing here?" Gu Qingshan opened his eyes from his meditation and looked at Zhou Shen who had suddenly appeared.

"You seem a bit excited, what’s happened?"

After opening his eyes, Gu Qingshan noticed that his old friend Zhou Shen seemed to have something unusual about him, suppressing an excited emotion.

Zhou Shen strode over and said, "I’m here to verify something with you!"

Gu Qingshan was taken aback, "Verify what?"

Zhou Shen took a deep breath and said, "When you were young, you were friends with Xuanyuan Peak, do you know that he once crossed the Dao Collapse Barrier into the wilderness and even created a Demon Hunter Organization there?"

Gu Qingshan showed a look of surprise and doubt, "You haven’t been to the wilderness, how do you know this, old man? Not only did he replicate a Demon Hunter Organization in the wilderness, but he also left his Five Emperors Fist there, hoping to find an heir.

At that time, he told me, and I even laughed at him, saying only Martial Kings under thirty years old could cultivate it. Isn’t that a joke?

In the outside world, Martial Kings under thirty can become True Disciples of some Holy Sects. In a place like the Land of Dao Collapse, even a Martial King at a hundred years old is unlikely to appear."

"You’ve underestimated it, the Five Emperors Fist must have an heir!" Zhou Shen’s eyes shone, if so, Wei Fan is very likely the heir of Xuanyuan Peak.

Gu Qingshan’s eyes narrowed, "What do you mean? You haven’t told me how you know this, haven’t the people who went to the wilderness not returned yet? You can’t know the news there."

Zhou Shen took a deep breath, "I just encountered a super prodigy when registering, nineteen years old, with Martial King Third Level Cultivation."

Gu Qingshan’s eyes lit up, nineteen-year-old Martial King Third Level, some weak Holy Sect’s Saint Sons might not even break through to Martial King at this age.

"A nineteen-year-old Martial King Third Level is indeed a prodigy, but not a super prodigy, right? I remember there are two or three such people in Beiding Continent."

Gu Qingshan frowned, there are two or three such people in Beiding Continent, looking at the entire Five Great Domains, how many people are like this?

With Zhou Shen’s character, how could he be so surprised by this, and come specifically to tell me.

Zhou Shen said quietly, "But he claims to be from the wilderness and is a Martial King of the Desert Demon Hunter Organization."

Gu Qingshan gasped, "Old man, you’re not joking with me?"

In a place like the Land of Dao Collapse, to become a Martial King Third Level at nineteen is earth-shattering.

Even those top prodigies in Beiding Continent, to become a Martial King Third Level at nineteen, if they are put into a place like the wilderness where essence qi is thin, Martial Dao is not evident, and heritage is broken, it would be good enough to break through to Martial King at a hundred, let alone nineteen.

The wilderness not only has a harsh environment, but its heritage is also almost entirely cut off. The batch of people who left back then took most of the heritage with them.

Without strong heritage, even the most talented person’s cultivation speed will plummet.

Zhou Shen laughed, "Why would I joke about such things with you, that’s why I came to confirm with you whether Xuanyuan Peak really set up a Demon Hunter Organization in the wilderness."

Gu Qingshan was already restless, "What else did he say?"

Zhou Shen shook his head, "He only said these things, but there are some things Feng Hua said too."

"Feng Hua? That girl showed up?" Gu Qingshan raised an eyebrow, "Could it be that she went to the wilderness these past few years and brought that person out?"

Zhou Shen nodded, "That’s what she said, and also said that young man led the Desert Human Race and wiped out all the Demon Fiends in the wilderness!"

Gu Qingshan shook his head again, "Impossible, back then Xuanyuan Peak didn’t have the means to deal with the situation in the wilderness and had to create the Demon Hunter Organization, no matter how talented, he can only be as strong as the others."

In the middle of speaking, he frowned again, "But such matters, that girl Feng Hua won’t lie about it, forget it, I’ll go see for myself, if he’s really that talented, he must have learned the Five Emperors Fist."

...

After leaving the Logistics Hall, besides obtaining the Demon Hunter Waist Token, Wei Fan also received two thick books, which were none other than to introduce all the Martial Arts the Demon Hunter Organization had collected.

Wei Fan didn’t look at them now; he directly put them away. He didn’t have any merit points now, looking at them without being able to exchange would only be frustrating.

"...The Demon Hunter Organization in the Five Great Domains is different from the one in the wilderness, often demon hunting requires completing tasks!"

Feng Hua walked in front, carefully explaining to Wei Fan.

Wei Fan was puzzled, "Doesn’t self-initiated demon hunting count as merit?"

The Demon Hunter Organization in the wilderness doesn’t work with tasks, the messages are sent, and it’s up to the individuals to decide whether to act.

Feng Hua shook her head, "Of course not, self-initiated demon hunting certainly counts as merit, but in this case, the benefits of hunting Demon Fiends aren’t maximized, by taking tasks from the Great Hall and then hunting, and eliminating specific needed Demon Fiends, the benefits gained are greater.

Some Demon Fiends that cause great evil urgently need to be killed, and the Demon Hunter Organization will increase the reward.

Some people who have grudges against certain Demon Fiends but lack the ability for revenge will also come to the Demon Hunter Organization to offer Spirit Crystal bounties..."

Wei Fan’s eyes revealed a strange color; the functions of the Demon Hunter Organization of the Five Great Domains were more complete, making the Desert Demon Hunter Organization seem more backward.

Killing demon fiends here not only earns merit but sometimes also cultivation resources. Thus, more experts are drawn to join the Demon Hunter Organization.

"Shall we take on a mission now?"

Feng Hua shook her head, "No, I will first take you to join a demon hunting squad. This is not the wilderness, and solo activities are too difficult. Many missions are team-based."

Demon hunters not only hunt demon fiends but sometimes must guard the borders as well. It is quite similar to the Demon Suppression Bureau, except the Bureau’s tasks cannot be refused, while the demon hunters can choose not to take a mission if they feel unqualified.

"Are those people trustworthy?"

Wei Fan did not mind joining a squad since at his current Third Level Martial King cultivation, he was not strong enough to storm through alone. He definitely needed teammates and could not bring out Holy Soldiers for every issue, which would shorten his lifespan. However, he was not familiar with the people here and was worried about joining a problematic team.

Not only unfamiliar with people, he was also unfamiliar with the demon fiend power distribution. By joining a squad, he could quicker understand this world.

Feng Hua said, "It’s my old squad; they’re trustworthy but not to be fully trusted. When facing powerful demons that cannot be rivaled, one’s own life is the main priority."

It’s just a combination of Desert Demon Hunters and the Demon Suppression Bureau. Joining a squad is simply for cooperative demon fiend hunting and does not involve shared life and death.

The cultivation environment of the Five Great Domains is so good, combined with two to three thousand years of lifespan for Martial Kings and Demon Kings, countless years have accumulated. The number of Demon Kings is unknown. Entering the demon fiend territory alone poses a high risk of death.

Moreover, just like in the wilderness, sometimes the danger comes not only from demon fiends but also from the human race.

"Years have passed. It is time to return. Come, I’ll take you to meet them!"

Wei Fan followed Feng Hua and soon met her former teammates.

Three men and one woman, each with extraordinary temperament and profound aura.

"Feng Hua..."

The group greeted warmly, chatting with Feng Hua and ignoring Wei Fan.

He stood aside without interrupting. After a while, Feng Hua brought the group over and introduced, "This is my friend Wei Fan. I want to return to the squad and hope he can join too."

"No problem, your friend is our friend," the woman spoke, casting a curious look at Wei Fan.

Earlier, during the conversation, Wei Fan heard Feng Hua call her Zhi Hua, sharing a similar character to Feng Hua, known for her lively personality.

Wei Fan cupped his hands, "Greetings everyone!"

The group courteously responded with cupped hands, introducing themselves as Gu Ziqin, Ling Hu Yingjie, and Wei Zhenyang.

"I recognize you. You’re the one with the bounty from the Zilan Sect. Was the duo that caused a stir at Zilan Sect you and Feng Hua?"

Zhi Hua suddenly spoke, having watched for a while, she recognized Wei Fan.

A Holy Soldier clash had led Zilan Sect’s Grand Elder to retreat, killing a core disciple, causing quite a commotion in Beiding Continent. With Zilan Sect placing a bounty on Wei Fan, more people knew.

She appeared enlightened. No wonder two people were rumored to have stirred Zilan Sect, but the sect only placed a bounty on one. The other woman was Feng Hua.

Wei Fan and Feng Hua nodded together, "It was us."

Ling Hu Yingjie snorted coldly, "So, it was you. Why would Zilan Sect provoke you?"

Feng Hua shook her head, "I’m unsure. Let’s speak about Wei Fan. Do you three agree?"

The four were taken aback; having caused a stir at the Zilan Sect, yet not knowing how the conflict started.

Wei Zhenyang frowned, "If I’m not mistaken, the bounty from Zilan Sect stated that Wei Fan’s cultivation was only at Martial King Second Layer. I’m not opposed, but you know the squad’s situation, a cultivation too low becomes a burden."

Feng Hua shook her head, "Wei Fan’s talent is decent. He just needs some time to transition and grow. Honestly, eventually, you’ll gain from him. If you disagree, I shall take him to another squad."

She did not elaborate, as a nineteen-year-old Martial King from the Land of Dao Collapse is too shocking, vocalizing it only brings trouble to Wei Fan.

Nevertheless, her words led Wei Zhenyang and the others to reevaluate Wei Fan.

Wei Zhenyang wasn’t opposed to Wei Fan joining. Since merit distribution follows contribution, they can’t exploit each other. As long as Wei Fan isn’t afraid of incidents, they do not object to his joining.

Gu Ziqin spoke suddenly, followed by Ling Hu Yingjie expressing no objection.

Wei Fan understood their kindness, as being capable of teaming with Feng Hua suggests cultivation at Martial King Seventh or Eighth Layer. As someone with a Martial King "Second Layer" cultivation joining, the risk of demise is indeed high.

He immediately said, "When danger arises, everyone must not worry about me. As a demon hunter, I am aware of this duty."

Zhi Hua smiled, "Welcome Feng Hua back to the team; welcome new member Wei Fan!"

Upon these words, Gu Ziqin and the others smiled. As long as Wei Fan does not fear death, they, respecting Feng Hua, naturally have no reason to refuse.

When capable, help; when incapable, preserve life. Wei Fan’s awareness proves he’s already a qualified demon hunter, understanding the concerns.
