The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1683 - 1688: Resource Activation

"Brother Chen Tu." Lin Fei bowed to him as a sign of respect.

Chen Tu nodded and asked, "What is your current cultivation realm?"

Lin Fei thought for a moment, "I should currently be in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Foundation Establishment? It seems you have some connections." Chen Tu said, walking forward, "Follow me."

Lin Fei followed Chen Tu along a lush forest path to a gentle hillside, where buildings were densely situated, and many disciples were active.

Lin Fei looked around at the scenery, still high up on a mountain; this slope was only a small branch of the great mountain, now serving as residence for the disciples.

"Brother Chen Tu."

"Brother Chen Tu, who is this?"

Some disciples curiously asked, noticing the mark on Lin Fei’s brow, becoming even more curious—a person from the Lower Realm had come to Qianhuang Peak, how strange!

"He is a new disciple here, and everyone should take care of this younger brother." Chen Tu told them.

Upon hearing Chen Tu’s words, more people became curious about Lin Fei—not only had someone from the Lower Realm come to Qianhuang Peak, but astonishingly, he was their junior brother? Fellow apprentices?

This is truly surprising.

Lin Fei was also quite surprised, not expecting to be called a junior brother again. He was speechless because, in the Lower Realm, he was incredibly successful, but in the Upper Realm, everything started from zero.

This is like a game where you reached the max level and abruptly returned to another map, resetting your level; it’s obviously frustrating, and most people can’t endure it.

"Younger brother, what is your cultivation realm? Why hide it so deeply? Show everyone what your cultivation is, that allows you to come to our Qianhuang Peak."

A proud young man asked Lin Fei, and others also looked curious.

At this point, Chen Tu saw Lin Fei not talking, so he spoke up, "Our junior brother has just come to Qianhuang Peak; his cultivation will improve quickly. Currently, his cultivation is only at Foundation Establishment, but everyone shouldn’t underestimate him; everyone starts from Foundation Establishment, right?"

Hearing Chen Tu’s words, the other disciples were stunned.

"Foundation Establishment?" A disciple was taken aback, finding it hard to believe what he heard.

"Brother, isn’t the minimum requirement to take disciples at Qianhuang Peak at the Nascent Soul Realm? Why would someone at the Foundation Establishment, from the Lower Realm, be able to enter Qianhuang Peak?" A disciple frowned, unable to understand.

"Hahaha, Brother Muxuan, you’re too naive; not everyone comes to Qianhuang Peak by strength. Isn’t this proof? This person came through connections, so everyone, don’t provoke him."

Upon hearing this disciple’s explanation, the surrounding disciples nodded, agreeing with his rationale.

Chen Tu shook his head and said, "Alright, all of you, get on with your cultivation. Three days from now, resources will be released, and five days later it’s the day the uncle gives his lecture. If you don’t hurry, your cultivation won’t keep up."

Upon hearing Chen Tu’s words, the brothers showed worried expressions, scattered, evidently rushing off to cultivate.

At this time, Chen Tu looked at Lin Fei, "Follow me, I’ll take you to your living quarters."

Chen Tu took Lin Fei to house number 1992, and said, "This is your place. Remember the number plate; don’t intrude on others’ quarters, or you might pay the price."

Lin Fei nodded, knowing that for cultivators, being interrupted would surely be infuriating. If it were him, he’d feel the same way, so he remembered his number plate.

"Alright, come inside with me."

Upon entering, Lin Fei saw the house was very simple, with only a bed, a wooden table, and four chairs. In his yard, there was a stone table and four stone stools, along with some flowers and plants, the flowers and plants were merely weeds; the neglected yard was just like that.

There was nothing else, just a vast empty space.

Now, Lin Fei entered inside, and Chen Tu took him to the stone bed and pointed to a fist-sized hole on it, saying, "This place will normally have Primordial Energy flowing out; just remove this stopper."

Saying this, Chen Tu removed the cover made of stone from the hole, and a burst of Heaven and Earth Qi flowed out, quickly filling the entire room.

"Open it when cultivating, but remember to close it when not; this is a branch of Qianhuang Peak’s dragon vein, don’t waste it." Chen Tu explained.

Lin Fei nodded to express understanding, feeling very surprised that the Heaven and Earth Qi, relatively thin in the Lower Realm, was a cultivation source for everyone at Qianhuang Peak; it was incredibly luxurious.

"Alright, if you have any questions, go to house number 200 to find me, I live in room number 200." Chen Tu said.

"Thank you for the explanation, brother." Lin Fei thanked, never withholding politeness from those polite to him.

Chen Tu smiled, "As someone from the Lower Realm, after coming to the Upper Realm, you must learn to endure; especially with your cultivation not high, you must know patience. When you become strong, those weaker won’t cause you trouble."

Lin Fei nodded, understanding the lesson, though he appreciated Chen Tu’s advice, "Thank you, brother, I will remember."

"Then I’ll leave you; focus on your cultivation and remember, three days from now, resources will be released. That time holds unique opportunities for improving your cultivation." Chen Tu said.

"Brother, can you tell me what the resource release is about?" Lin Fei asked.

"That matter will be explained three days from now, someone will inform you, you will be pleasantly surprised then." Chen Tu said, then left.

Lin Fei felt puzzled by the resource release mentioned by Chen Tu, not understanding what it meant, though he was a bit expectant since Chen Tu said it would allow cultivation improvement.

Therefore, Lin Fei was eagerly awaiting that moment.

As Lin Fei looked at the courtyard full of weeds, he turned to his left, noticing a scholar observing him while seated on a stone stool, sipping tea and admiring the flowers.
