Chapter 224 – Ji Ying Lan meets with an accident

 

Bi Fan continued to meditate quietly. By the end of three hours, more than half of his injuries had already healed.

Luckily, Bi Fan had quite a strong body, so he survived the injuries that he had received. Moreover, the yin yang lotus was emitting threads of white light which were healing Bi Fan’s wounds so fast that it would take just a day for him to be completely fit and fine.

Although the wounds were in a much better condition than they earlier had been, Bi Fan chose to meditate further rather than going out in search of the transportation token.

In spite of being engaged in a fatal fight and getting severely injured, Bi Fan had gained a lot. He had found some new insights to his martial skills.

The integration of ‘the immortal finger’ technique with other martial skills was worth being in such dangerous situations.

Upon integrating a martial skill with ‘the immortal finger’, its strength increased by leaps and bounds.

Bi Fan meditated carefully in order to figure out some other ways of integrating ‘the immortal finger’ with the other moves of Quinyang Fufeng double-edged sword.

Since he had already integrated ‘immortal finger’ with one move, integrating it with the others might not be a difficult task for Bi Fan.

After spending just one more hour in meditation, Bi Fan integrated three moves with ‘immortal finger’. He surely had gained a lot.

Had Bi Fan earlier been able to integrate these three moves with ‘immortal finger’, he would’ve faced absolutely no difficulty in defeating those two ‘developing marrow’ layer men.

However, Bi Fan didn’t have enough time to meditate continuously. He wanted to find the transportation token first.

“Are you alright, Brother Bi Fan?” Jing Feng was worried.

“Yes, I’m fine. Now let’s go and seek the transportation token.” Bi Fan said.

Zi Wei was amazed: “Bi Fan, do you really know where the transportation token is?”

“I’m not sure of it. I saw the transportation token flying away among the other things, so I know the direction in which it went. We can all try our luck by proceeding further in that direction.” Bi Fan said.

“Are you sure it was the transportation token?” Mo Nan asked excitedly.

“Yes, I’m sure of it. The transportation token was the first thing that emerged out of that crater; not many people could see it. Unfortunately, it went away so fast that I couldn’t follow it at that time.” Bi Fan told everyone.

“Let Brother Bi Fan take the transportation token. He has suffered too much.” Jing Feng said.

Bi Fan said with a smile: “Although I haven’t been able to seize some precious weapon, I have found a treasure of my own which is no less powerful than the stick of the nine thundering dragons itself!”

“What treasure are you talking about?” Jing Feng and all the others asked in unison with curiosity.

Obviously, the word ‘treasure’ alerted them since they had been chasing after treasures for so long.

“Have a look at it; Brother Jing Feng might need it.” Bi Fan took out the spear.

“Nice spear! And it’s quite powerful too!” Jing Feng muttered as he examined the spear closely.

“Brother Jing Feng, you can take this spear if you want to.” Bi Fan was very generous with his friends.

“What? Really? Oh, thank you so much, Brother Bi Fan!” Jing Feng was visibly delighted.

“There is no need of thanking me. We all are brothers.” Bi Fan smiled.

Mo Nan, Ji Ying Lan and Wang Zhong looked at the spear with envy. Not a single person in the whole Quinyang School might have such a powerful spear.

Bi Fan sighed: “Unfortunately, the two most powerful incomplete spirit weapons – the sword and the knife were seized by Hong School and Bai Sheng Palace. The practitioners of ‘Gold Dan’ layer are so powerful that they move with the speed of light!”

“We are still here in the Tong Tian sect’s secret storehouse and I’m sure we will get many more opportunities.” Mo Nan said.

Zi Wei looked at Bi Fan, surprised. She had been with Bi Fan for quite some time and yet she was unable to understand him.

Bi Fan’s performance was no worse than the most powerful disciples of the nine great schools.

“Bi Fan is currently in ‘transformation’ layer. If he steps into the ‘emerging from the womb’ layer, defeating ‘developing marrow’ layer opponents would be a cakewalk for him.” Zi Wei thought to herself.

Moreover, she had realised that she can never become an enemy of Bi Fan.

A random encounter with Bi Fan had made Zi Wei accompany him for some time. But now, Zi Wei didn’t want to leave Bi Fan’s company because his secret intrigued her. She wanted to stay until she unravelled the secret behind Bi Fan’s power.

Of course, Bi Fan had no idea about what Zi Wei had been thinking. He was busy guiding Jing Feng and the other boys in the direction of the transportation token.

If there were too many people already seeking the token, it would be difficult for Bi Fan and his team to seize it.

“We all should look for the token separately. Let’s see who’s luckier than the others.” Bi Fan said.

Since the secret storehouse was vast, Bi Fan and the others went out in different direction while being separated by several hundred metres. However, they would occasionally gather at one point to ensure that everyone was safe.

All of them walked slowly while they searched for the token. Although they weren’t aware of what it looked like, they could find it out by sensing the aura.

As there was no aura being released by anything, they had to depend solely upon their sight to find the token.

Searching for the token seemed more like looking for a needle in the haystack. They had no idea where exactly it might be.

If they couldn’t find the token in spite of knowing the direction in which it went, they would miss another golden opportunity.

While searching for the token in the vast plain, Bi Fan continued walking forward. Not a single person could be seen by him.

This was actually good for them. More people meant more competition for the token.

Bi Fan kept looking in all the directions to make sure they weren’t being followed by anyone.

Suddenly, Ji Ying Lan’s scream broke the silence. The scream soon faded away.

Since Bi Fan and the others were not too far from the place where they had left Ji Ying Lan, they all immediately rushed back.

When they reached the place where they had left Ji Ying Lan, they found that he had disappeared.

“Brother Ji Ying Lan, where are you?” Bi Fan shouted.

“Ji Ying Lan, are you alright?” Jing Feng shouted loudly.

They all got anxious. If Ji Ying Lan had an accident, they couldn’t move further without finding him.

There was no reply from Ji Ying Lan; they had no idea where he was now.

“Everybody, search the surroundings. We might find some clue about what happened to Brother Ji Ying Lan.” Jing Feng said.

“Be careful while searching. There must be some powerful enemy hiding in the vicinity.” Bi Fan warned everyone.

They all dispersed in different directions, searching for the clues.

“Look at this! The ground has a crack here, forming a ditch. I’m afraid Brother Ji Ying Lan might have fallen into it!” Zi Wei called out suddenly.

Bi Fan and the other boys immediately rushed towards Zi Wei. They found that there indeed was a crack. Although it wasn’t a very large crack, it was wide enough for someone to fall into it.

Bi Fan carefully looked around the crack and said: “Brother Ji Ying Lan has surely fallen down into it. What should we do now?”

The grass at the edges of the ditch was pressed. Ji Ying Lan must have trodden onto it before he fell down into the ditch.

The ditch had been covered with a lot of hay. Ji Ying Lan had been so earnestly finding the token that he didn’t pay any attention towards the possibilities of some trap being laid out by the enemies.

The possibility of the ditch being a trap worried Bi Fan a lot.

Although Bi Fan’s vision in the dark was better than everyone else, he couldn’t see inside the ditch.

“Ji Ying Lan!” Mo Nan shouted.

The sound echoed down the ditch, but no one responded back. This made Bi Fan, Jing Feng and the others to worry even more.

Jing Feng said: “I have a rope. Here, hold it and let me go down.”

“Alright, Brother Jing Feng. Please be careful.” Bi Fan said.

Jing Feng tied the rope to a tree nearby and tied the other end to his waist.

“I’m going down the crack.” Jing Feng said.

“Be careful, Brother Jing Feng.” Mo Nan said.

Jing Feng looked resolute as he nodded: “I won’t get hurt as long as you all are here for me.”

The next moment, Jing Feng jumped into the crack.

The ditch was too deep. Jing Feng couldn’t see its bottom.

After a while, Bi Fan shouted and asked: “Brother Jing Feng, are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m alright.” Jing Feng’s voice echoed out the ditch.

“Brother Jing Feng, did you find Ji Ying Lan?” Mo Nan couldn’t help asking.

Jing Feng’s voice came out once more: “Not yet. Loosen the rope; I need to go further down.”

Bi Fan loosened the rope.

Bi Fan had to tie up another rope to add to its length since Jing Feng hadn’t reached the bottom yet.

Occasionally, Mo Nan would ask Jing Feng whether he was alright or not. Since Jing Feng was responding back, there was not much to worry about him.

“I just hope Jing Feng finds Ji Ying Lan. I wish Ji Ying Lan is fine.” Zi Wei prayed.

“Don’t worry. Both Jing Feng and Ji Ying Lan would be just fine.” Mo Nan reassured her.
