With a lift of his hand, silently and stealthily, Guo Huasheng laid out the illusionary formation. Chen Fei looked around, his eyes filled with some surprise.

Guo Huashengs proficiency in formations seemed to surpa.s.s his cultivation level. With his skill displayed just now, even a normal early-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator would likely fare poorly in a direct confrontation.

If Guo Huasheng were to leave some s.p.a.ce and set up an even larger formation, those in the early stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm would have no advantage whatsoever.

And what about you two? Xu Wucheng looked towards Chen Fei and Qin Haishan.

For a joint mission, self-introductions were essential. This way, tasks could be a.s.signed according to each individuals strengths.

Im Qin Haishan. I specialize in soul searching and investigating Evils.

Qin Haishan didnt conceal anything. With a wave of his right hand, several Second-Tier Evils appeared in the field. They werent particularly powerful but could be useful in certain specific situations.

Although they had their characteristics, they werent outstanding.

But that was normal. The majority of techniques from level-four factions didnt have any major distinguis.h.i.+ng features. The main feature was actually that the difficulty of cultivation was slightly lower.

As for the pursuit of combat strength, it was secondary because the continuous inheritance within the sects Combined Aperture Tempering realm was the more crucial matter.

Xu Wucheng and the other two werent surprised by Qin Haishans cultivation aura; this was indeed the situation for most early-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm martial artists.

Xu Wucheng himself had recruited laborers at the city lords mansion gate. It was difficult to encounter someone particularly strong in such purely luck-based situations; it wasnt very realistic.

The three of them turned to look at Chen Fei. In terms of aura, Chen Fei was undoubtedly the youngest among the five. And at this moment, Chen Feis outward cultivation level appeared to be close to the second stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

This realm was where Chen Fei could still restrain himself when in a confrontation with others.

Otherwise, if he were to exert a little more force, his true realm would be directly revealed, and the Slaughter Spirit Technique wouldnt be able to conceal it.

Chen Fei, proficient in healing and alchemy, Chen Fei said with a slight smile, extending his arm.

His fingers traced over it, revealing a deep wound. Chen Fei circulated his elemental energy, and the wound on his arm rapidly healed at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

This wasnt the inherent healing ability of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant; at this moment, Chen Fei deliberately suppressed the operation of the Suppressing Dragon Elephants power. This ability was indeed a power inherent in Chen Feis technique.

The Profound Heavenly Sword, blending the top inheritances of the Nine Sects, includes a leaning towards healing within three of its lineages. Among them, the most prominent is the technique from the Fengwu Pavilion, renowned for its exceptional healing effects.

Therefore, when Chen Fei claimed to excel in healing, it was indeed not an empty boast.

Oh?

Xu Wucheng, upon witnessing Chen Feis technique, displayed a hint of interest. He similarly traced his arm, revealing a wound even larger than the one on Chen Feis arm just now.

Simultaneously, Xu Wucheng intentionally shook his internal organs, inflicting blunt trauma on them. He wanted to see to what extent Chen Feis healing ability had reached.

If it was merely about treating superficial injuries, the significance would be limited.

Tong Linyun and Guo Huasheng also turned their gaze towards Chen Fei. If Chen Feis displayed healing ability was truly formidable, then capturing laborers this time would have unexpectedly yielded a treasure.

In battles against sea monsters, no one could guarantee that they wouldnt get injured, not even Xu Wucheng.

And once injured, ones strength would undoubtedly be affected, potentially leading to the failure of the entire battle.

In the ever-changing battlefield, the effects of consuming pills were too slow. However, having someone with healing abilities nearby would greatly improve the situation.

Moreover, post-battle healing, when elemental energy is combined with pills, would undoubtedly yield even stronger effects, perhaps avoiding situations where one would need to rest for months on end.

Xu Wucheng and his two companions were eagerly watching Chen Fei. On the other hand, Qin Haishan was a bit puzzled. Chen Fei excelled in healing?

Then how did Chen Fei manage to suppress the entire Sea Peak City back then? By winning people over with virtue?

Qin Haishan hadnt figured it out yet when he saw Chen Fei send a stream of elemental energy towards Xu Wucheng. Xu Wuchengs eyebrows twitched slightly as the blurred wound on his arm rapidly healed at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

Not only that, Xu Wucheng felt a warm sensation spreading to the locations where his internal organs had been injured, rapidly alleviating the pain until it disappeared completely.

Excellent!

An involuntary smile appeared on Xu Wuchengs face as he looked at Chen Fei with eyes full of surprise.

With this level of healing effect, the likelihood of completing any mission would be greatly enhanced.

Such potent healing effects were only heard of in a few top-tier factions in the past. Chen Fei was undoubtedly not from those factions, indicating that he had experienced some extraordinary encounters himself.

Seeing Xu Wuchengs situation, Tong Linyun and Guo Huasheng couldnt help but smile as well. When doing missions on the front lines, everyone hoped for the a.s.surance of their own lives.

Chen Feis ability to heal others was undoubtedly highly sought after.

Qin Haishan grinned, his admiration for Chen Fei growing deeper.

Over the years, Qin Haishan had sensed a lot of marvels from Chen Fei. Especially those endless secret techniques, they remained fresh in Qin Haishans memory.

Just when Qin Haishan thought he had seen everything Chen Fei had learned, Chen Fei would surprise him with something new.

With such talent and intelligence, it was surprising that Chen Fei hadnt joined those top-tier factions.

It was unclear whether to say it was Chen Feis misfortune or the loss of those top-tier factions.

After half an hour, well depart. Get ready.

Xu Wuchengs smile faded as he tossed two jade slips in front of Chen Fei and the others, who instinctively caught them.

The mission details are inside. Take a look, and well gather here later, Xu Wucheng instructed before disappearing on the spot.

Tong Linyun gave Chen Fei a kind smile before leaving the courtyard.

Guo Huasheng stayed behind. He nodded to Chen Fei and the others before returning his focus to the formation disk in his hand, absentmindedly muttering to himself, completely immersed in his own world.

So, what do we do now? Qin Haishan asked Chen Fei.

Well split up and take a walk around Sea Dominion City, Chen Fei said with a slight smile, his figure flas.h.i.+ng and disappearing into the courtyard.

Chen Fei walked along the streets, observing the layout of Sea Dominion City. At this moment, there were no ordinary people in the city, but there were numerous Body Tempering realm warriors.

These Body Tempering realm warriors werent here to slay sea monsters; they were purely here for various logistical tasks.

As Chen Fei walked, he simultaneously extended his consciousness into the jade slip.

After a moment, Chen Fei finished reviewing the contents of the jade slip and stored it in his spatial bag.

He was tasked with venturing deep into the rear of the sea monsters territory to investigate an area where recent Evils had appeared. It needed to be clarified what exactly the cause was.

If it posed a threat to Sea Dominion City, efforts would be made to destroy it. If destruction wasnt feasible, then bringing back detailed information was necessary.

The rewards for this mission were quite generous. Of course, there was a significant difference in rewards between the two objectives. However, even the lower-tier missions rewards were considered extremely lucrative in Chen Feis eyes.

With the group splitting up, even if Xu Wucheng took the lions share, the remaining members would still receive a substantial reward.

Of course, this mission is extremely dangerous. The frontline is already perilous enough, yet now we have to venture deep into the rear of the sea monsters territory. Once detected by the sea monsters, whether we can safely escape back is a question in itself.

Moreover, theres another issue. Its not just Xu Wuchengs team that has accepted this mission. The task has been a.s.signed to two teams simultaneously to ensure accurate information gathering.

While these two teams are technically cooperating, theres also compet.i.tion between them. If the other team obtains accurate information first and rushes back to report it, the reward for the remaining team, while not entirely absent, will be halved directly.

Chen Fei pondered, the most challenging aspect of infiltrating the rear of the sea monsters territory should be how to conceal ones own aura.

However, Sea Dominion City has already taken this into consideration. The team accepting the mission will be allocated a middle-grade spiritual treasure, which can conceal all auras emanating from their bodies.

This spiritual treasure is somewhat similar to Chen Feis Slaughter Spirit Technique. However, if someone were to take action, this treasure wouldnt be able to conceal the aura of the person attacking, just like the Slaughter Spirit Technique.

This spiritual treasure is actually quite similar to the formation disk. However, after setting up the formation with the disk, the movement speed of all involved individuals becomes extremely slow, whereas this middle-grade spiritual treasure doesnt have this drawback.

As long as extreme use of body techniques is avoided, many traces can be concealed by this spiritual treasure.

As Chen Fei pondered, he wandered through Sea Dominion City.

He didnt enter any shops or taverns; instead, he took a stroll through the marketplace.

The marketplace on the side of Bianhu City was already bustling, as many items that couldnt be easily acquired elsewhere were bought and sold there, contributing to the unique prosperity of Bianhu City.

On the other hand, the marketplace in Sea Dominion City was even more lively. Anything that could enhance ones strength could be found there.

Various items made from sea monsters were relatively inexpensive, considering the substantial number of sea monsters brought into Sea Dominion City each day, leading to a decline in value, which was almost inevitable.

While items made from sea monsters were cheap, the prices of other goods skyrocketed. Whether it was treasures or specialized formation disks meant for enhancing combat capabilities, everything was exorbitantly priced.

Chen Fei saw a bottle of poison selling for a price of over a dozen high-grade elemental stones, which was close to the value of a middle-grade spiritual treasure.

Colorless and odorless, it was highly effective against early-stage third-tier sea monsters. Even mid-stage third-tier sea monsters would suffer greatly if affected by this poison.

Chen Fei only glanced at it before leaving. One reason was that he didnt have that many elemental stones, and the other reason was that he wasnt sure about the effectiveness of the poison.

In less than half an hour, Chen Fei returned to the courtyard where Guo Huasheng was still there, focusing on the formation disk in his hands. He muttered to himself while his fingers traced imaginary lines in the air.

Sensing Chen Feis arrival, Guo Huasheng glanced up, nodded at Chen Fei, and then continued his study of the formation.

After a moment, Xu Wucheng and the others appeared one by one.

This mission is extremely dangerous. I hope everyone wont take it lightly! With everyone present, Xu Wucheng spoke solemnly.

After a moment, the five of them flashed and appeared at the eastern gate of Sea Dominion City before disappearing from sight..
