The Six Immortals Chapter 108

Chapter 108 – Exit

(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the fifth and the final chapter for the day. Hoof.
This chapter also marks the end of the third volume.)

Li Xuan Feng’s team must have robbed a lot of strong man, and Bi Fan’s team counted one hundred and fifty three Yin Yang pouches from the plunder. Majority of these pouches were filled with the bodies of the Devil’s Race, while the others were filled with other kinds of riches.

However, the most precious item of then all, was the Abyss Dragon’s nucleus; in fact, it was priceless.

w.a.n.g Zhong, Lone Leaf, and Blue Dragon, stared at the nucleus, as they held their breaths.

If they hadn’t obtained the Jungle Python’s eggs, then they may not have been as anxious as they were at present.

But now, in the future, they were going to have a Jungle Python as a pet. And once they were able to provide their pet with a nucleus to feed on, then their pet would evolve a lot faster; not to mention, that its strength would also advance as it evolves.

“I will not be partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion for the Abyss Dragon’s nucleus, so you guys decide on how it will be a.s.signed.” Bi Fan said.

The Chimera had already swallowed the Nucleus which they had obtained from the Jungle Python; so naturally, Bi Fan was a little embarra.s.sed to contest for another one.

w.a.n.g Zhong and the other two discussed amongst themselves, and came to an agreement, that they decide the winner on the basis of luck. However, the winner wouldn’t get anything else from the loot, while the winner’s share would be divided between the other two.

Bi Fan was the referee. He took out three identical wooden pieces, but only marked a sign on one of them. The person, who gets the marked wooden stick, gets the Nucleus.

The lottery began, and the three contenders were quite nervous. Their lips continued to move in silent prayers.

“So, let’s see who’s in luck today.” Bi Fan laughed.

The three of them humbly declined to take the first chance for a while, but then eventually, Lone Leaf stepped up.

Lone Leaf picked out a stick, and carefully looked at it: “Blank!” suddenly, his expression changed to a very depressed one.

w.a.n.g Zhong was next, but returned empty handed, just like Lone Leaf.

Blue Dragon didn’t need to draw out the last stick; he had already won the contest. He almost yelled out in excitement.

“It’s mine! The Nucleus is mine!” Blue Dragon’s smile was extending from one ear to the other; literally.

The biggest prize had gone to Blue Dragon, so to say that the two weren’t jealous, wouldn’t be true, but still both, Lone Leaf and w.a.n.g Zhong, were happy for their friend.

After this, division of the remaining items was a lot easier. The bodily armors and weapons were divided by Bi Fan as usual.

As for the bodies of the Devil’s Race and the Yin Yang pouches, they used a points system which they had developed along the way. Bi Fan had the least amount of points, since he had taken most of Li Xuan Feng’s material, which was the best, so he only got one fifth of the remaining bounty.

Whereas, the remaining, four-fifth of the bounty, was equally divided between, w.a.n.g Zhong and Lone Leaf.

“This trip has been so rewarding, now we’ll have plenty on money to support our practice.” Lone Leaf was extremely excited.

He was really thanking his stars that he had decided to befriend Bi Fan, otherwise he would have never been able to procure so much wealth in such a short time, let alone increase his strength to its present level.

Lone Leaf’s strength had been advancing by leaps and bounds, and it wasn’t going to be long, before he would reach his target; the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer.

As long as he was successfully able to reach the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer, Lone Leaf could use the Ogre Flower petal he owned, and could easily break into the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer.

In this world, people below of the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer, were usual regarded as ordinary folk, while pract.i.tioners who were either in the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer, or higher, were regarded as strong.

The Jiu Yu Da Sect, especially, would only consider ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer disciples to be formal disciples of the Sect, and all others would only get the status of outside disciples (Neimen disciples), unless the person in question was the son or daughter of an elder.

Once a person becomes a formal disciple, he is able to enjoy a very specialized treatment, and experiences a great enhancement in their social status.

Lone Leaf’s short term goal was to reach the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ level, so he could be indicted into his Sect as a formal disciple.

Now that his target was within his reach, he was obviously quite excited: “Brother Bi Fan, lets continue to hunt the Devil’s Race.”

“Of course, but as soon as you reach the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer, we will immediately exit the Abyss.” Bi Fan said: “We are carrying a lot of wealth on our hands, and if word gets out, then I’m pretty sure that we’d attract more people than the Stone Giant did.”

“Haha, that’s certain.” Blue Dragon laughed.

It was an obvious fact. They were carrying the body of a Dark Drake, Jungle Python eggs, an Abyss Dragon’s body and his Nucleus, plus a huge amount of Devil’s Race carca.s.s; so many treasures were enough to make any man crazy.

Bi Fan’s team chose a new direction and continued on their way, and into the forest.

At present, they were much less interested in sc.r.a.ping for valuables, and were only concentrating on helping Lone Leaf advance to the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer.

Even when they were at the pool, they didn’t go looking for any treasure that the Abyss Dragon may have been guarding.

Party because they had just killed Li Xuan Feng’s team, and didn’t want to linger around the spot for too long, as they were afraid of being spotted by other humans.

And secondly, because the pool seemed very deep; Bi Fan’s team didn’t have any equipment to conduct a proper search inside such a deep pool, which is why they had decided to forget about the treasure inside it, if any.

At present, even Blue Dragon wasn’t trying to contest with Lone Leaf, and whenever they ran into a Devil’s Race beast, Lone Leaf would promptly charge forward.

At his present strength, Lone Leaf was more than capable of dealing with anything that was below the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer.

After each battle, Lone Leaf would meditate and enhance his energy, and then inspect his progress.

w.a.n.g Zhong had been a.s.sisting Lone Leaf by giving him directions, owing to which his strength was increasing even faster.

Three months had pa.s.sed since their entry into the Abyss. At present, the four of them were walking around the deepest parts of the Devil’s Secret Forest, and had already collected a great number of valuables; a feat, which they couldn’t even have imagined upon their entry into the Abyss.

Another battle later, Lone Leaf finally managed to reach the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer.

“I’ve finally reached the pinnacle of the ‘transformation’ layer. Now, I’ll immediately take the Ogre Flower petal upon my return, and the will soon break into the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer; I’ll become a formal disciple of my Sect!” Lone Leaf exclaimed; he could barely believe his own words.

Formerly, the Bei Ming faction had only considered Lone Leaf to be an ordinary outer disciple, but now, he would soon come to the forefront, and would be accepted into the Bei Ming Sect as a formal disciple.

After taking the Ogre Flower petal, he would be able to make the breakthrough with ease, and his skills would see a major enhancement. Such an achievement at such a young age, would guarantee him a formal disciple’s spot in the Bei Ming Sect.

Lone Leaf continued to smile, as he tried to imagine the new range of benefits which he would now have access to.

“Brother Leaf, congratulations!” Blue Dragon was a little envious, but he too had already managed to reach the peak of the ‘Enormous Strength’ layer.

Bi Fan also congratulated Lone Leaf on his achievement. On the surface, Bi Fan was the weakest member of their team, as he was only at the peak of the ‘Spiritual intelligence’ layer. But his physical force, itself, had surpa.s.sed eleven Yun Shi.

In terms of overall strength, Bi Fan was still the strongest fighter in the team.

As for the Chimera, well, he still hadn’t woken up. He had been asleep for a long time now, which was an indication that his strength would have seen a significant improvement when he finally wakes up.

The Marten had really enjoyed this trip inside the Secret Forest of the Devil, as he had gotten an opportunity to eat a wide range of herbs. Had he collected them instead, and sold them in the market, then he too, would have made a lot of money; but then again, he didn’t really care.

The Marten’s speed seemed to have increased, while his nose had become even more sensitive.

Anyway, he seemed to be heading in the right direction; so naturally, Bi Fan was quite happy about it.

w.a.n.g Zhong, Lone Leaf, and Blue Dragon’s Jungle Python eggs hadn’t hatched yet, which was a good thing, as they didn’t want the aura inside the Devil’s Abyss to have any negative impact on their newborn pets.

They had already decided; upon their return, they would first try to wash off any remaining negative Aura around the eggs, before attempting to incubate them.

“We should head by back now.” Bi Fan said.

Lone Leaf sighed, and said: “Yes, ah. I hope I get more opportunities to fight alongside you, Brothers.”

“Definitely. We’ll have more chances; otherwise we can always meet each other in the Jiu Yu city and catch up.” Blue Dragon laughed.

w.a.n.g Zhong said: “After I get out, I’ll also be making my way to the Jiu Yu city.”

“I also want to go the Jiu Yu city once, and then I’ll head out again.” Bi Fan also expressed his desire.

The four of them parted their ways, and left the Devil’s Abyss.

However, the four of them were completely unaware of the developments that had happened outside the Devil’s Abyss, in their absence.
