Hong Yun's eyes were full of anger. He looked at Fang Chen's back as he left. Then, he turned around and went into the Body-refining Tower.
After an hour, Hong Yun came out of the Body-refining Tower.
"Humph, it's just the fourth level," Hong Yun said coldly. It was easy for him to enter the fourth level, but it was too difficult for him to enter the fifth level.
The disciples looked at Hong Yun and looked at each other.
After returning from the Body-refining Tower, Fang Chen was about to cultivate when a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"First Elder."
Fang Chen hurriedly cupped his hands and greeted the First Elder.
The First Elder of the primary area was very good to Fang Chen, so Fang Chen was also very respectful to the First Elder.
"Fang Chen, I've come to look for you because I have something to tell you," the Great Elder said.
"Yes, First Elder," Fang Chen said.
The First Elder looked at Fang Chen and said, "Fang Chen, you have to be careful of the Second Elder and the Third Elder when you are in Kamikaze Kenbu."
Hearing the First Elder's words, Fang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and did not speak.
"The two of them have a lot to do with the Dragon Army that you killed. They will definitely find a way to take revenge on you. I can protect you now, but I can't protect you forever, so you have to be careful," the First Elder said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Fang Chen nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you for your reminder, First Elder."
"I'm telling you this because I want you to be careful of them. Well, I have something to do, so I'll leave first," the First Elder said and turned to leave.
Fang Chen's eyes were gradually filled with coldness as he watched the first elder's departing figure. He thought to himself in his heart, "If all of you wish to die, I don't mind letting all of you die without a burial ground."
After saying that, Fang Chen turned and left.
Three days later, a figure suddenly entered Fang Chen's courtyard.
"Fang Chen." The figure grinned when he saw Fang Chen.
Fang Chen stopped cultivating and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw who it was, he felt a bit puzzled.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhuge Yuan," Zhuge Yuan said with a smile.
"Zhuge Yuan." Fang Chen's expression changed slightly. He had naturally heard of Zhuge Yuan's name.
Although Zhuge Yuan wasn't as famous as the top 10 disciples in the middle zone, his name was still well-known.
This was because Zhuge Yuan was ranked 11th in the middle class area. He was extremely powerful and had already reached the late stage of the Sixth Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm. He was many times stronger than Hong Yun.
Of course, some people believed that Zhuge Yuan already had the strength to enter the top ten, but Zhuge Yuan didn't seem to care about this ranking, so he didn't challenge the top ten.
Fang Chen didn't understand why Zhuge Yuan would come looking for him.
"May I know why Senior Brother Zhuge is looking for me?" Fang Chen asked.
"It's like this. I've accepted a mission here that requires a team of at least five people. So I came looking for you because I hope you can join me on this mission. Of course, you'll be rewarded," Zhuge Yuan said with a smile.
Fang Chen was stunned. He immediately stood up and asked, "Senior Brother Zhuge, there are many people in the middle class area who are stronger than me. Why did you choose me?"
Hearing Fang Chen's question, Zhuge Yuan grinned and said, "Fang Chen, I've been secretly watching you for a long time. Not only do you have a fourth-grade sword talent, you're also very powerful. Although your cultivation is only at the Third Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm, your true strength is at least at the early stage of the Sixth Realm. I have high hopes for you."
"Moreover, if I'm not wrong, Yuwen Batian hasn't returned for a long time because you killed him." Before Fang Chen could speak, Zhuge Yuan spoke again.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhuge Yuan. He didn't expect Zhuge Yuan to be secretly watching him. It seemed that he wasn't careful enough.
"I really wanted to kill Yuwen Batian, but he escaped," Fang Chen said honestly.
Fang Chen's words also shocked Zhuge Yuan. The reason why he said that Fang Chen had killed Yuwen Batian was only Zhuge Yuan's guess. Now that Fang Chen confirmed it, although he didn't kill Yuwen Batian, he was able to make Yuwen Batian escape. It was enough to show how powerful Fang Chen was.
"Fang Chen, I need a disciple like you," Zhuge Yuan said.
Then, Zhuge Yuan began to explain the details of the mission to Fang Chen.
After listening, Fang Chen found out that the mission Zhuge Yuan was going to do this time was to explore an ancient ruin. This ancient ruin was located in a hidden place in Tianhe County.
Usually, as long as the mission hall released this kind of mission, it would be immediately accepted by the disciples. Although the mission was only to explore the ancient ruin, there would definitely be some treasures in the ancient ruin.
All the disciples wanted to enter the ancient ruin and obtain the treasures.
Zhuge Yuan had received this mission not long ago, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he didn't immediately go.
This time, Zhuge Yuan finally found a suitable candidate, and that was Fang Chen. As long as he could convince Fang Chen, the five-person team would be full, and then they could set off.
Of course, the reason why Zhuge Yuan chose Fang Chen was that Fang Chen was strong, and Fang Chen was not as strong as him, so he could be the absolute core of the team.
"Fang Chen, this ancient ruin will definitely attract some disciples from the Top Ten Sect, so we can't explore it casually. With your cultivation, you will definitely not be valued by the disciples of the Top Ten Sect. When the time comes, you can be a surprise," Zhuge Yuan explained.
After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Chen finally agreed to Zhuge Yuan's request.
First, it was because his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and he couldn't break through for the time being. Maybe he could find a chance in the ancient ruin.
Second, it was because he was also tempted by the ancient ruin.
People often said that if one could find a chance in the ancient ruin, he might be able to soar to the sky.
Although Fang Chen didn't expect to soar to the sky, he could still increase his strength.
"Okay, I promise you. When do we set off?" Fang Chen asked.
"In three days, we will meet at the square. We will set off together," Zhuge Yuan said.
"What about the distribution of benefits after we enter the ancient ruin?" Fang Chen asked.
Zhuge Yuan explained, "The rewards for this mission will be divided equally among the five of us. As for the things we get after we enter the ancient ruin, we will depend on our own abilities. How about that?"
Fang Chen grinned and nodded.
"In that case, you should get ready. We will set off on time in three days." Zhuge Yuan turned and left after he finished speaking.
Fang Chen naturally didn't care about the mission reward. It was nothing more than a large amount of Spiritual Stones.
Spiritual stones were nothing to Fang Chen now. Although the golden heart had absorbed 100 million mid-grade spiritual stones, Fang Chen still had 1.8 billion mid-grade spiritual stones.
Moreover, he believed that the Heavenly Elixir Palace would distribute Spiritual Stones to him again soon. At that time, Fang Chen would definitely become a rich man.
In the following time, Fang Chen cultivated while waiting for the mission to begin.
On the second day, after the refinement of the golden heart, Fang Chen felt that his physical strength had become much stronger.
At this time, Fang Chen came to the Body-refining Tower and wanted to give it a try.
When Fang Chen entered the Body-refining Tower, he rushed all the way. When he reached the fourth level, his speed finally slowed down.
"The fourth level doesn't give me much pressure." Fang Chen grinned.
Although only two days had passed, his physical strength had become much stronger. Originally, he could only reach the fourth level, but this time, he wanted to reach the fifth level.
Crash!
After Fang Chen adapted to the gravity on the fourth level, he directly entered the fifth level.
When Fang Chen entered the fifth level, he suddenly felt a strong gravity from all directions, directly squeezing his body.
"The pressure on the fifth level is very strong." Fang Chen said in a low voice.
After a while, Fang Chen's forehead was full of sweat, and he was panting heavily.
After staying on the fifth level for an hour, Fang Chen felt that he had reached his limit, so he left the Body-refining Tower.
At this time, many disciples outside the Body-refining Tower were shocked. In two days, Fang Chen had improved so much.
"He's definitely a monster. He has improved so much in two days."
"Yes, two days ago, he could only stay on the fourth level. Now, he has entered the fifth level."
"Moreover, he stayed on the fifth level for an hour. He's really a monster."
"Monster. Not only is his talent in Sword Principle terrifying, but his physical strength is also terrifying."
While the disciples were discussing, Fang Chen quickly left the Body-refining Tower.
For Fang Chen, the Body-refining Tower was just a place for him to refine his body. As for the ranking, he did not care at all.
When Hong Yun heard that Fang Chen had entered the fifth level of the Body-refining Tower, he was a little shocked.
"Damn it, how can this guy's physical body be so strong?" Hong Yun was furious and growled in a low voice.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Fang Chen arrived at the square.
However, when Fang Chen arrived at the square, he heard some noise.
"Zhuge Yuan, where are you going?" A sarcastic voice rang in everyone's ears.
Fang Chen looked over and saw five people standing in the square. One of them was looking at Zhuge Yuan with a mocking expression.
"Hong Yun, where I go is none of your business." Zhuge Yuan said coldly.
"Humph, Zhuge Yuan, even if you don't tell me, I know you're going to do that task. But what I don't understand is that you only have four people here. Why don't you give me the fifth place?" Hong Yun asked coldly.
"As long as you give me the fifth place, I don't want the reward. I'll give it all to you." Hong Yun said.
Hearing Hong Yun's words, Zhuge Yuan sneered and said, "I'm sorry, the team is full. There are no more places."
"Who's the last one?" Hong Yun asked.
"It's me." At this time, Fang Chen came to Zhuge Yuan's side and said indifferently.
