After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 591: Isolated Island (4)
Zhou Feng also began to recount his experience: "...When I woke up, I was lying in a luxurious room with servants to attend to me. Except for the ward area in the north, where Senior Pei and Fellow Daoist Fu were located, which I couldn't enter, and the prison that Minglu mentioned, I roughly toured the outer perimeter of the other areas. This is a topographical map I drew..." He showed the topographical map he had drawn to everyone.
When Pei Yun heard him mention that thin, glowing "brick," a thought popped into her head: "Let me see that 'brick'..."
Sure enough, as soon as he took it out, Pei Yun knew she had guessed correctly. She smiled and, under everyone's curious gazes, fiddled with the phone, then asked, "This is a phone. I suddenly remembered that our consciousness was sealed during the day, preventing us from contacting each other, but we can still contact each other through a phone. Do you have one?"
Pei Yun's hospital room didn't have a cell phone or anything like that for communication. Although she had a cell phone she used on Earth in her spatial storage, her storage artifact was now sealed, so no one else could take out their treasures, and she was no exception.
Now, their every move during the trial mission is being watched by the people in the temple outside. If she were to reveal it, things would get complicated, which is why she doesn't even dare to enter the space.
Except for Zhou Feng, the other three shook their heads. Pei Yun looked down at his phone and the terrain map, pondering for a while, before finally looking at Zhou Feng:
"It seems your identity is quite special. Of the five of us, you have the least restriction on your movements, and you're the only one with a cell phone, which means you're the only one who can contact the outside world..."
The four were still somewhat confused by her words. Pei Yun and Zhou Feng said, "Tomorrow, try to get four more of these phones. We'll each have one, so we won't be restricted by the sealing of our divine senses during the day..."
"How...how can we make contact with just this?"
“Once Zhou Feng gets his hands on the phone tomorrow, I’ll teach you how to use it. Zhou Feng, are you currently living in the villa area to the south?” Pei Yun asked.
"Yes, my servant said it's a villa area, very large and novel, with luxurious food, clothing, and accommodations..."
"Then we'll meet at your villa tomorrow night."
"Wait a minute, Pei Yun," Fu Lingchen couldn't help but interrupt her, "Why should we reunite? We're already together now. Why don't we figure out a way to leave the island? The other four teams are probably already on the outskirts of the island looking for a way out..."
Pei Yun remained remarkably calm: "This is a difficult-level mission set by Ancestor Qin Meng. How can we leave so easily? Didn't Minglu say that there's an endless ocean outside the island? How are we going to leave the ocean? We can't open our storage artifacts right now, and we don't have any flying artifacts. Are we just going to rely on ourselves to fly? We've only recovered half of our strength, equivalent to a Qi Refining cultivator. I'm afraid our spiritual energy will be exhausted in less than a few hours. What will we do then…?"
Zhou Feng also said, "When I came looking for you just now, I found that the entire island was shrouded in a Nine Absolute Thunder Array. This is a fourth-grade array, and it's not so easy to break. I definitely can't do it alone..."
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, and their expressions became somewhat solemn.
Of the five people present, only He Changxuan hadn't spoken yet. The other four looked at He Changxuan, who said, "...I spent the whole day at the research institute. This morning, the director called a meeting with all the doctors, and I was one of them... It seems like an experiment is being conducted on this isolated island. The director and the doctors have developed a new drug that can help ordinary people resist aging and regain their youth. Oh, and the director also said that the major investors have arrived on the island. It seems they all came for this reason..."
“So it seems this is a place for healing and saving lives, and has nothing to do with our escape from the island…” Fu Lingchen and the other three didn’t take it seriously, but Pei Yun fell into deep thought again.
However, just as the five were discussing, a bright light burst forth from a building not far away. Not only Pei Yun and his group of five saw it, but the three teams that were lurking on the outskirts of the island and trying to find a way to leave also noticed it. Without hesitation, all four teams flew towards the building...
“It’s the research institute, the place I spend my days,” He Changxuan said.
Pei Yun asked, "Let's go take a look!"
The five people flew directly to the location of the light source on the top floor of the research institute. When they arrived, the other three teams also arrived one after the other. The teams looked at each other warily for a few moments before fixing their gaze on the "door" in front of them.
"It's a 'door'?! Could this be the exit?!" someone exclaimed.
"Impossible, we just entered the trial mission and haven't done anything yet, how could we be leaving already..." someone subconsciously retorted.
The four people in Pei Yun's group looked at her, waiting for her to make a choice.
"Go in." Pei Yun made the decision quickly. "Be careful of ambushes."
The five people cautiously entered, and the other three teams followed Pei Yun's group into the "door"...
Upon entering, everyone present felt as if they had returned to the outside of the Trial Gate, surrounded by an environment they knew all too well.
"It's actually an alchemy room." He Changxuan and Pei Yun immediately noticed the alchemy furnace in the center of the room. At this moment, they felt as if they had returned to the Alchemy God Palace.
The first team to enter was carrying various medicinal herbs, but unfortunately, their storage artifacts were sealed, so they couldn't store these items inside.
These medicinal herbs were already in the room, and they were still frantically scavenging them when they didn't expect that the opening of the "door" would cause such a commotion. The other four teams arrived too quickly, and they didn't have time to quietly take them all for themselves.
"The treasure is for everyone who sees it. You're not trying to keep it all for yourselves, are you?" A mature and beautiful woman stepped forward with a smile.
As soon as she spoke, all four teams, including Pei Yun, nodded in agreement.
"How ridiculous! Our team members discovered this alchemy room first, and we were the first to enter. Why should you get a share just because you found it!" The team members who entered first were naturally indignant.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with an imposing presence and a calm demeanor stepped forward: "I am Cai Dongcheng, the captain of my five-man team. May I ask who is the captain among you five?"
An elderly man among the first five people to enter stepped forward and said, "My name is Pu Bufan. I would like to ask for your guidance, fellow Daoist."
"I wouldn't presume to offer guidance. Now that we've discovered this place, does Fellow Daoist Park believe that our team can monopolize everything in this alchemy room and then leave unscathed?"
Upon hearing this, not only did Park Bu-fan's expression change, but the four members behind him also instantly darkened their faces. It was simply impossible for five people to fight against twenty.
Park Bufan was silent for a moment, then said, "Does Fellow Daoist Cai or the other fellow Daoists have any good suggestions?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Ping, the young man standing next to the beautiful woman, stepped forward with his hands behind his back: "That's simple. All the medicinal herbs in the alchemy room will be divided equally. As for the alchemy furnaces, each team will have a certain amount of time to use them..."
He glanced around at everyone present and asked, "What do you all think?"
“I agree,” Pei Yun, as the team leader, voiced his agreement.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, Guo Cai, who had a past conflict with Fu Lingchen, stepped forward. He was also the captain of their team. Guo Cai's gaze was cold. He glanced sideways at Fu Lingchen, then directly targeted Pei Yun's team:
"Everyone, splitting the resources equally is indeed a good suggestion, but it depends on whether the teams present are qualified to split them equally. There is a team that is much weaker than the other four teams, so how can it be qualified to share the resources with us!"
His words were highly targeted, practically naming names. Everyone else present turned their attention to Pei Yun and his group of five. The four people standing behind Pei Yun tensed up, their expressions turning serious as they became on guard.
Pei Yun remained calm and indifferent, glancing coldly at Guo Cai before looking at the others present: "Do you all think so too?"
Before entering, all five teams had met at the round table. In Pei Yun's team, apart from Pei Yun herself, the cultivation levels of the others were indeed much weaker.
"Everyone, we have a better chance of completing the mission if we have one less team to share the resources."
Guo Cai didn't take Pei Yun's team seriously. Pei Yun's cultivation was high, but it wasn't one-on-one, it was twenty against five. No matter how strong she was, could she handle so many people at the same time?
"If you ask me, it would be better to eliminate one of the weaker teams first, which would save us a lot of trouble..."
Captains Cai Dongcheng, Pu Bufan, and Wen Ping were all intrigued by Guo Cai's words.
Wen Ping disliked fighting and didn't want to kill everyone. He said to Pei Yun, "Fellow Daoist, if you and your team members leave here now, our team can pretend nothing happened, and we can all leave each other alone..."
Cai Dongcheng and Park Bufan were both cunning old foxes. They had already given signals to the members around them, instructing them to quietly surround Pei Yun and his group of five.
Cai Dongcheng sighed dramatically and said, "It's important for a person to know their own limitations. Knowing that your team isn't strong enough, yet you still attempted a difficult trial mission, shows a lack of self-awareness. Since that's the case, ending up in this situation is your own choice, and you can't blame anyone else..."
Seeing that the other three teams were on his side, Guo Cai smiled smugly. He walked up to Pei Yun, making no attempt to hide the disdain in his eyes: "Blame it on your team for being too weak!"
"Pei Yun!"
"Senior Pei..."
Fu Lingchen and his three companions saw that the people around them had surrounded them tightly and blocked their exits, indicating that they were about to be captured in one fell swoop.
Pei Yun chuckled and looked around at the people around him: "Indeed, it is important for a person to know their own limitations, but some people just don't understand that."
Guo Cai thought Pei Yun was still putting on a brave face, so he loudly ordered his men, "Move!"
Before he could finish speaking, a figure appeared in front of him as if by teleportation. Before he could react or even make a move, the badge on his chest was ripped off.
"You..." His arrogant smile froze instantly. He stared in horror at the badge in Pei Yun's hand, touched his chest in disbelief, and opened his mouth as if to say something, but his entire figure had already vanished from the spot. At the same time, the badge that Pei Yun had torn off also disappeared.
