Chapter 238: Blood Bodhi Arrives_1

“`

“Haha, Black Blade is finally going to have another Martial Arts Grandmaster!” the middle-aged man said, looking at the Blood Bodhi in the box, which emitted a rainbow-colored glow, with a beaming smile on his face.

At that very moment, the crystal box inside the box seemed as if it had been enchanted, and in an instant, it “whooshed” up to the tree.

Xu Fan was standing at the top of this tree at the time, concealing all his cultivation aura, so that even this Black Blade middle-aged man, who had reached the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, could not detect his presence.

A Martial Arts Grandmaster already had the ability for Air Control, so the moment the middle-aged man saw the Blood Bodhi and burst into laughter, Xu Fan made his move.

After activating his Object Manipulation Ability, Xu Fan’s hand acted as if it had grown a large magnet and, with a “biu” sound, instantly drew the crystal box containing the Blood Bodhi into his palm.

“Who’s there?” the middle-aged man shouted, having let down his guard for a moment during his joyous celebration of acquiring the priceless Blood Bodhi. And in that instant of relaxation, the crystal box containing the Blood Bodhi suddenly flew away on its own.

This was a prime example of the saying, “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.” He had just gotten his hands on the Blood Bodhi, not even having time to savour it, when this holy medicine, capable of allowing a Qi Drawing practitioner to leapfrog straight to the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, flew away before his very eyes.

He was a high-level executive of Black Blade, one of the renowned Twelve Blades, the Flying Mang Blade. His cultivation had reached the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. For someone to dare snatch food from the jaws of a tiger was simply courting death!

No sooner had Xu Fan grasped the crystal box than he flashed away, swiftly leaping from the tree and blending into the vast night.

The middle-aged man also quickly reacted, chasing closely after Xu Fan.

Though his cultivation was already at the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, it was just within the context of Sea Blue Star’s Grandmaster Realm.

While Xu Fan was at the same level as him, he was an Extra-Emissary Cultivator from the Cultivation World, formerly known as the illustrious Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor, whose combat prowess was not something an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster could match.

What’s more, Xu Fan possessed countless magical techniques unique to the Cultivation World, employing a variety of endless methods, like one of the most precious and most difficult-to-master skills in the Cultivation World—the Qimen Dunjia Formation technique.

In his previous life, Xu Fan could be said to be a true Cultivation prodigy. There was no knowledge in the Cultivation World that he did not know, and nothing he knew that he wasn’t proficient in.

When raising pets, he raised the five supreme Holy Beasts, in alchemy, he could refine the strongest Ninth Grade Divine Pill in the Cultivation World. In artifact crafting, he could create the most powerful Ninth Stage Magical Treasures, and his formation skills were uniquely unparalleled in the Cultivation World.

In the past, Xu Fan could see through the formations on Yulong Mountain at a glance, relying solely on his profound formation skills. Just now, while on the tree, he took advantage of the middle-aged man’s inattentiveness, and like lightning, surreptitiously laid down a formation with a few leaves he had infused with his spiritual energy.

“`

This formation was called the “One-Leaf Screening” formation, within which anyone, no matter their level of cultivation, would become disoriented and lose their way. No matter which direction they walked in, they would end up walking in circles; the effect was very similar to the folklore notion of “ghost hitting the wall”.

In order to snatch the Blood Bodhi and escape without this middle-aged man discovering his identity, Xu Fan had hastily set up this maze formation with the effect of “One-Leaf Screening”.

However, he had not used the precious leaves of spiritual trees for the formation, but rather ordinary leaves, so the effect of the formation was quite limited. It could at most trap an ordinary person for a few days until the spiritual energy within the formation was slowly exhausted, after which the formation would break on its own.

For someone in the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm like the middle-aged man, this formation could detain him for only two to three minutes at most.

But for Xu Fan, those two or three minutes were more than enough.

“Dammit! Who the hell was that?” The middle-aged man chased in the direction where Xu Fan had vanished for a while, only to find that he had been walking in circles in the same spot, seemingly incapable of leaving the vicinity of the tree, which aroused his suspicion. He began to closely inspect the area beneath the tree.

Upon inspection, he indeed spotted the problem. The few fallen leaves underneath the tree subtly emanated a strange energy fluctuation. It was these leaves that had formed the perimeter he’d been unable to escape from.

The middle-aged man picked up one of the leaves and crushed it intensely in the palm of his hand, turning the leaf into a pile of debris.

Once the leaf was destroyed, the “One-Leaf Screening” formation naturally broke as well, and by the time the middle-aged man could search for the man who had just stolen the Blood Bodhi, the thief was already long gone without a trace.

“Could this be the legendary Qimen Dunjia Formation? The Flame Dragon Organization now has not only alchemists but also an expert proficient in formations? I must report this information to headquarters immediately. Surely this news could offset my responsibility for losing the Blood Bodhi!” After weighing the situation, the middle-aged man realized it was futile to chase the thief. He carefully picked up the remaining leaves as evidence and quickly made his way toward the site of the recent battle with the rubble truck.

At this time, Xu Fan was already sitting in his Audi S7, driving steadily towards the city center. The Blood Bodhi was placed on the passenger seat beside him. He had originally planned to rob the rich second-generation Qin Haowen that night, but unexpectedly, the Black Blade Organization had appeared out of nowhere, triggering a large-scale conflict with the Flame Dragon Organization guards protecting Qin Haowen.

In the words of Mo Luo Dan, the Flame Dragon Organization, reputed to be very powerful, had ultimately lost to the sneak attack of Black Blade, and the Blood Bodhi had been wrested away by force.

Throughout the battle, Xu Fan barely lifted a finger, only at the very end sneakily seizing the fruit of victory that originally belonged to the Black Blade Organization. He had also trapped the leader of Black Blade with a formation, leaving him completely unaware of who had actually stolen the Blood Bodhi.

In the eyes of the Flame Dragon Organization, the Blood Bodhi had been stolen by Black Blade, and in the eyes of Black Blade, the Blood Bodhi had been stolen by Flame Dragon. Since the two had been sworn enemies for decades and would never tip each other off, even if Black Blade and Flame Dragon declared under oath that they had not obtained the Blood Bodhi, it was likely that neither side would believe the other.

Therefore, not only had Xu Fan obtained the Blood Bodhi, but he had also managed to do so without attracting any trouble to himself, leaving the entire responsibility to Flame Dragon and Black Blade. Even if the two fought to the death in the future, it had nothing to do with him; he just needed to honestly use the Blood Bodhi to refine the Blood Qilin Pill, which could advance someone from the Qi Cultivation Stage to Foundation Establishment. As for everything else, it was all none of his concern now.

On the vehicle of Black Blade Organization, a relaxed smile played on the corner of Xu Fan’s mouth.
