The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Long Tan did not refuse Zeng Wenyu's invitation. He walked easily to Zeng Wenyu, took the grilled fish handed to him by Zeng Wenyu, sat opposite Zeng Wenyu and started eating it with big mouthfuls.

Zeng Wenyu ate the grilled fish while looking at Longtan who was sitting opposite him. There was something strange in his eyes. After Mu Zhi's confirmation, Zeng Wenyu was sure that the person in front of him was Longtan, but his clothes were too clean. Although the biggest threat in the White Mist Forest was the human-faced trees, could he really see through the human-faced trees' tricks at the first time? He didn't have any blood on him, let alone any injuries.

"Brother Longtan, did you encounter anything after you came in? This White Mist Forest doesn't seem to be as dangerous as the rumors say?"

"Hey! How come I didn't encounter anything? I encountered it just after entering the White Mist Forest. I don't know how the trees with faces around here gave birth to one of my little brothers. I almost fell into the trap. If I hadn't been more alert and happened to see a skeleton where the little brother took me, I would have been sucked dry by the tree!" Long Tan put down the grilled fish that he had eaten clean in his hand, took out a processed fish from the storage ring and grilled it next to the fire. "And those sea monsters, when my little brothers were slaughtered by these crocodile beasts just now, I was almost discovered by them. Although I am not afraid of these crocodile beasts with low cultivation, there are too many of them. If I hadn't run fast and didn't get entangled, I'm afraid I would have become their meal by now, and I wouldn't be here to eat grilled fish with you, my brother."

After hearing what Longtan said, Zeng Wenyu was still a little skeptical. He knew Longtan's character. He always liked to keep a backup plan before doing things. Although this backup plan was not of much use in front of truly powerful cultivators or forces, Zeng Wenyu just didn't believe that Longtan had no way to deal with the situation in the White Mist Forest.

"Oh, brother Longtan, I heard that all pointing tools are useless in this White Mist Forest. The geomagnetic field here is very chaotic. What are you going to do next? How are you going to get out of here?"

"Ah... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I'm also worried about this. The suppression of monks in this place is quite severe. I tried many times to fly up and escape, but guess what, this place is a no-fly zone. I tried my best but could only get my body less than a foot off the ground. Plus, this place is like a maze, so I really don't have much to do. Fortunately, I bought a lot of fish from those fishermen before, so I don't have to worry about food and drink for the time being."

"There's nothing you can do. It looks like we're going to be trapped here to death..."

"Don't worry, brother. I'm telling you, there must be a way out of this White Mist Forest, such as there," Long Tan raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the altar. "There is an altar over there, and I can feel that there is a lot of life energy in the altar. There must be something there. As long as we work together to take the things out of the altar, maybe we can escape from this White Mist Forest?"

Zeng Wenyu glanced in the direction of the altar several times. He had to admit that Longtan's eyesight was really good. The altar was indeed filled with a large amount of life breath. Those were the life energies in the body of Mumu, who was the innate tree. Moreover, Zeng Wenyu knew that there was not only Mumu on the altar, but also Senior Long Lin. However, it would be a little difficult for Longtan to get any benefits from the altar. Although Long Lin could not move, it was not something Longtan could touch.

"By the way, brother, how long have you been here? Has the altar always been like this? Or have you already tested it, so this is the case on the altar?"

"Me? I just came here not long ago. The altar has always been like this. Maybe there is some treasure full of vitality inside. But can you and I really get this treasure with such vitality? If the treasure has a guardian, can we really defeat the guardian?"

"Yes, a treasure that can release such a huge vitality must have a very powerful guardian. It seems difficult for you and me alone. But who knows, maybe there is someone among us who can take a fancy to the treasure. After all, fate is something that no one can predict."

"Well, then you and I can only rely on the treasure and our fate. I hope the treasure inside can let us out."

Long Tan nodded, and Zeng Wenyu stopped talking. They both knew that the word "fate" was just talk. If cultivators really encountered the treasures they wanted, there would definitely be a fight. It was only because Long Tan was in a weak position that he said such things. If they really encountered something they had to take down, no matter how good their friends were, they might become enemies.

Not long after, both of them had finished their dinner and extinguished the burning fire. Only the moonlight in the sky illuminated the entire white mist forest. Zeng Wenyu returned to Mu Zhi, while Long Tan found a place to close his eyes and take a nap. The whole night passed in silence.

“Haha! I made a breakthrough! I made a breakthrough! Hahahahahaha…”

As soon as the sun rose, Zeng Wenyu was awakened by a burst of wild laughter. He turned his head to look in the direction of the laughter. The one who was laughing wildly was the Roentgen seal that had taken the elixir last night and had been practicing. Now it was constantly curling its body, celebrating its breakthrough in cultivation in a very strange posture.

After taking a look at the Roentgen seal, Zeng Wenyu closed his eyes again, but he suddenly opened his eyes the next second. The sound just made by the Roentgen seal was very strange. It was not communicating with mental power like before. The sound just now came from its mouth, and now the crazy laughter continued to come from the Roentgen seal's mouth.

He stood up and walked quickly to the side of the Roentgen seal, looking at the Roentgen seal's body which was still in the cricket pupa: "You can speak suddenly?"

The Roentgen seal suddenly stopped its cocooning body, looked at Zeng Wenyu standing next to it, and said in a strange tone: "Is it strange? My cultivation has broken through, so I can naturally do many things that I couldn't do before. Speaking your human language is just a small matter. After all, the sea monsters we usually come into contact with the most are the humans who go out to sea to fish."

"Yes... indeed, I was making a fuss out of nothing." Zeng Wenyu nodded, then he squatted down, "To what extent has your mental strength improved?"

"Last night! Last night I condensed nine drops of spiritual power! This is something that even the geniuses of our clan have not been able to do yet. At most, they are hovering around seven or eight drops of spiritual power. If I go back now, I guarantee that I will be able to bring the beauty home! My Tuntun will definitely give up the clan leader's son and throw himself into my arms!"
