Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 129 Cultivation
"Complete collapse?"

Ji Fuyou was taken aback: "You mean, there was a second major collapse in the mining area?"

"Correct."

Fang Qiyun nodded: "This time, I'm afraid no fewer than ten hunter teams have been buried in the mining area."

Ten hunter squads.

No fewer than fifty people!
And most of them are associate senior professionals!
The hunting profession...

High returns.

But the danger...

too big.

No wonder people like Su Zhen and Fang Tianhua rarely enter the Fog Zone.

Even if they go, they will only go to areas that have been explored and have basic security guarantees.

"To be honest, I owe it all to you. If it weren't for you, we probably would have gone deep into the fog zone too!"

"The mine shafts have collapsed, could anyone have gone inside?"

"That's not necessarily true. Many hunters believe in the theory that fortune favors the bold! They are greedy when others are fearful! They all think that now that the mine collapse is over, there might be some good stuff inside, and they can't wait to rush in."

Fang Qiyun shook her head as she spoke.

They neither confirmed nor denied this behavior.

Whether a martial artist or a spiritual being, even if they reach the master level, they cannot withstand the immense power of heaven and earth.

When the mine collapsed, billions of tons of rocks and soil came crashing down. Even a master, let alone someone above that level, would only face certain death.

"In fact, although the Chigui Mine collapsed, it left behind a very troublesome problem."

Fang Qiyun said.

"Trouble? What happened?"

"The fog has not dissipated."

"The fog has not yet lifted..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou realized the specific meaning Fang Qiyun was referring to.

Once a misty place appears, the monsters within must be defeated and killed as quickly as possible.

In this way, the fog will dissipate.

If the monsters inside survive for a long time, the duration of the mist will also increase. When the time has lasted for a certain period of time, there is a high probability that the mist will transform into a permanently existing forbidden area.

The fact that the fog in the Red Track Mine has not yet dissipated means that the Corpse Demons inside have not been completely eliminated due to the mine's collapse.

Unfortunately, the mine collapse made it difficult for hunters to enter and clear out the monsters buried deep underground.

finally……

Are we just going to watch helplessly as this mine becomes a new forbidden zone like Huanglong Cave?

"What are the Psychic Power Association's considerations?"

Ji Fuyou asked a question.

"Currently, the Association of Mental Abilities does not have enough manpower and resources to excavate the entire Crimson Gold Mine and eliminate the monsters inside. The only thing they can do is to seal it off for now."

Fang Qiyun said, "With billions of tons of soil pressing down on them, it will not be easy for these monsters to get out."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou thought of the culprit that caused the mine collapse: the altar made of white stone bricks.

Or……

Teleportation array?

he does not know.

But most likely, these Corpse Demon Kings wanted to send some powerful creature or force out from that altar, which resembled a teleportation array.

His thoughts paused for a moment at this point, but he suppressed them again.

"The formation has been destroyed, the Corpse Demon King has been almost completely annihilated, and billions of tons of thick soil are pressing down on it..."

There shouldn't be any problems.

At least, in his dreams, he never returned to that mining area.

While Ji Fuyou was pondering, Fang Qiyun had already opened the bag she had brought and taken out the contents: "Your clothes are here, they're new, see if they fit."

After saying that, she added a self-assessment: "My visual assessment should be fine."

Ji Fuyou then noticed that his tattered and dusty clothes, worn from repeated collisions with the Corpse Demon King and falling rocks, had been replaced with pajamas.

"I was worried that your wound would worsen, so naturally I had to wipe the blood off your body and treat the wound as soon as possible. There are priorities."

Fang Qiyun said in a generous and magnanimous manner.

Upon seeing this...

One can only think that those who live the life of a wanderer don't need to care about so many formalities.

Besides, Fang Qiyun was helping him at the time.

He then said again, "Thank you for your hard work."

"You are welcome."

Fang Qiyun placed the clothes by the bed: "I'm relieved to see that you've recovered."

After saying that, he added, "I've left your clothes here. Do you want to rest a bit more or get up and eat something? I think you used your secret technique again. Your body is very weak. You should replenish yourself as soon as possible. I've had someone prepare some medicinal food for you. Just let me know when you want to eat it."

Ji Fuyou could sense the changes within himself.

His martial arts skills have been steadily improving over the past few months, and his height and weight have increased significantly.

Among them, the height is nearly 179 centimeters and the weight has climbed to 86 kilograms.

Because his bone and muscle density are higher than average, he appears to weigh only around 75 kilograms.

After using the Healing Light repeatedly and consuming his body's potential energy, he lost at least 15 kilograms.

She looks to weigh only 60 to 65 kilograms, which is already visibly thin.

"I'll go change my clothes now, and then we'll go get something to eat."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

Fang Qiyun responded and turned to leave.

She behaved normally throughout the entire process.

But as she turned to leave, she couldn't help but blush slightly.

She secretly glanced at Ji Fuyou out of the corner of her eye...

Fortunately, he seemed to be thinking about something and didn't notice.

She then quickly left the room and closed the door behind her.

Ji Fuyou immediately got up and changed his clothes.

Fang Qiyun not only prepared a coat and underwear for him, but even underwear.

and……

It fit him perfectly. This made his expression slightly strange.

However, he quickly suppressed those strange thoughts and changed his clothes.

While changing his clothes, he saw some of his supplies and equipment.

Not only were there boxes containing skill crystals, but even the chipped cold steel sword was placed on a nearby storage cabinet.

Ji Fuyou's spirit sensed it for a moment.

These boxes...

It has never been opened.

He looked away and left the room.

This must be a small town not far from the Red Track mining area; the buildings look quite old.

However, the greenery is quite nice. Even though it is February, winter, the trees around are still evergreen and lush, which is refreshing.

In the courtyard outside the house, Fang Qiyun was talking to a middle-aged woman.

There was a small pavilion not far from them.

There is an artificial stone table in the pavilion, on which some food has already been placed.

Jiang Ran was preparing some tableware.

Seeing Ji Fuyou come out, Fang Qiyun said to the woman, "Aunt Hua, please bring everything up as soon as possible."

"Yes, miss, it will be ready soon."

The woman responded, turned and left to attend to her work.

Fang Qiyun waved to Ji Fuyou and walked towards the pavilion: "Come on, let's see if the food suits your taste."

"I'm not picky, as long as there's food, I'm fine with it."

Ji Fuyou said, sitting down: "I won't stand on ceremony."

He was indeed hungry and began to eat heartily.

Jiang Ran, who was standing to the side, was not surprised when she saw this.

Hunters live a life of constant danger, and for a hunter like Ji Fuyou, who has grown to a high-level martial artist in just a few months, the effort he has put in behind the scenes far exceeds anyone's imagination.

Moreover, he had just narrowly escaped death at the Red Track Gold Mine.

"I'll go help serve the dishes."

She said goodbye and left quickly.

"Eat slowly."

As Fang Qiyun spoke, she picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl: "This is the heart of a creature called the Mengya Elephant. It is cooked with some medicinal herbs. The taste may be a little off, but the effect of replenishing qi and blood is still very good."

"I will do it myself."

Ji Fuyou Road.

He wasn't used to having someone serve him food.

"That's fine."

"Would you like some too?"

"Of course, I specifically called Aunt Hua over because I was craving her cooking."

Fang Qiyun said with a smile.

She could tell that Ji Fuyou seemed a little embarrassed to eat alone.

Not to the point of being shy...

But when you eat with someone, it seems like your appetite is different?
At that moment, she ate her food in small bites, fulfilling her duty as a dining companion.

After he ate a little something to fill his stomach, Jiang Ran brought over a bottle of wine.

"This is a medicinal wine. It's very mild and has a low alcohol content. It's more like a beverage than alcohol."

Fang Qiyun handed a wine glass to Ji Fuyou and took one for herself.

"Here you are, congratulations, you've officially come back to life."

"So ceremonial?"

"Of course, for us hunters, every escape from death is something to celebrate."

Fang Qiyun said.

Ji Fuyou listened, recalling his experience in the Red Track Mine...

He took the wine glass.

We toasted and drank together.

"Respect to new students".

……

The physique and digestive ability of a high-level martial artist are far superior to those of an ordinary person.

Ji Fuyou ate for a full two hours.

They ate enough food for nearly ten people.

After consuming large amounts of food and supplements, he finally felt his body being supported a little.

"In fact, the country has already been researching how to compress some high-energy foods into portable dry foods, but the effect is so-so. They are good for emergency use, but since we have the time and resources, there is no need to deprive ourselves."

Fang Qiyun said.

Ji Fuyou nodded.

"You come in with me."

He said something and walked inside.

Soon, the box was opened, and four white spirit source crystals were taken out.

"Two of them are still owed to you. For the remaining two, exchange them for white physique source crystals for me."

Ji Fuyou added, "Remember to remove the two you used."

"Row."

Fang Qiyun took the source crystal and said with some envy, "You seem to have gained quite a lot this time."

"This is just the beginning."

Ji Fuyou smiled and put down the box containing the remaining three white spirit source crystals, then picked up another box and handed it to Fang Qiyun.

"have a look."

"This is?"

Fang Qiyun glanced at the box, and her eyes quickly widened in surprise: "Inheritance Crystal?"

"Correct."

Ji Fuyou said, "Among them, the Healing Light Inheritance Crystal is probably not enough to exchange for fist and sword techniques that allow people to develop Gang Jin, but it should not be difficult to obtain martial arts inheritance at the Dan Jin level."

He paused, then added, "As for the other Beast Taming Technique, it's up to you to negotiate the price. I just need a red Physique Source Crystal."
