390: Chapter 390 One-Click Sweep

After crossing the sea of thunder.

What appeared before them was a continuous stretch of small Peaks with lush vegetation, and low, deep roars of beasts echoed everywhere!

Ji Taichang's eyes glowed slightly as he scanned the surrounding environment, and he immediately understood.

Through his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes, he clearly saw a large number of leiming tokens hidden in the mountains and forests; without a certain level of skill, one would truly be unable to find them.

Some leiming tokens appeared to be hanging openly on trees or in the grass, but in reality, traps were set around them; a moment of carelessness would result in being severely injured!

Even more were hanging around the necks of some Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts!

To collect leiming tokens, one either needed powerful ocular techniques or sensory abilities to find the hidden tokens, or sufficient strength to hunt down the Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts, or to forcefully withstand the trap attacks.

The greater danger came from other Cultivators participating in the recruitment event!

If one were killed while fighting over the leiming tokens, it would truly be a death in vain.

But Ji Taichang possessed the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes, so all the leiming tokens and traps were laid bare before him; it was practically like cheating!

"Follow me."

Ji Taichang took Qin Shishi's small hand and immediately began a massive sweep!

He casually punched open a giant boulder, causing several leiming tokens to fall out, and when passing through an open space, he stomped his foot, cracking the ground and digging out a few more leiming tokens.

When passing by a patch of grass, Ji Taichang first brought his fingers together and slashed out a Sword Qi, splitting open the trap hidden in the grass and clearing away the poisonous mist, before picking up the leiming tokens in the grass...

Gradually.

In Leiming City, more and more Cultivators noticed Ji Taichang's actions, and their eyes widened!

"This is extremely suspicious!"

"How does this guy seem to know the hidden location of every single leiming token? He even knows about the hidden traps in advance!"

"Those three True Immortal Realm Prodigies have only collected a dozen or so leiming tokens, yet this guy has collected over a hundred by himself!"

"Hey buddy, is this right?"

"I seriously suspect there is an inside job!!"

"How is anyone else supposed to pass?"

"Did someone from the Benlei Sect tell him the hidden locations of the leiming tokens in advance?"

"Elder Feng, you must give us an explanation!"

"Elder, say something!"

Leiming City was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked by Ji Taichang's astonishing efficiency.

If this trend continues, I'm afraid more than half of the leiming tokens in the Secret Realm will be taken away by Ji Taichang alone!

In that case, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult for other Cultivators to collect leiming tokens, which is quite unfair!

Even the smile on Feng Zizhen's face froze; he subconsciously stroked his beard, staring intently at Ji Taichang.

After pondering for a moment.

Feng Zizhen slowly said, "Everyone, please calm down. The leiming tokens in the Secret Realm were all placed by me personally, and no one else knows their specific locations besides me."

"I can swear to the heavens that I absolutely did not leak them to him!"

"Given my status, to put it bluntly, if I really wanted to pull strings, I could just take him as a disciple directly. He wouldn't even need to participate in the recruitment event to become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Benlei Sect, and becoming a True Disciple is not impossible either!"

"Why would I use such a clumsy method to expose myself?"

"I have never seen this person before; I suppose he possesses some kind of special ocular technique or sensory ability..."

Feng Zizhen's words gradually calmed the Cultivators in Leiming City.

Come to think of it, that makes sense.

Feng Zizhen is the Third Elder of the Benlei Sect and is fully responsible for all matters of the recruitment event. If he were to publicly help Ji Taichang cheat, let alone the dissatisfaction of the various Cultivators, he would likely face punishment from within the Benlei Sect!

Moreover, if Feng Zizhen really wanted to pull strings for Ji Taichang, it would be easy; there is absolutely no need to use such a thankless method.

"If that's really the case, this person is extraordinary!"

"Ocular techniques are extremely rare; this person's talent and strength are definitely not weaker than those three True Immortal Realm Geniuses!"

"Why have I never heard of such a strong Genius before? Where did he pop out from?"

"Damn it, why are there so many Geniuses joining the Benlei Sect, why didn't they come to my Tang Sect..."

Many Cultivators discussed it spiritedly, and their gazes towards Ji Taichang changed.

The smile on Feng Zizhen's face grew even richer, while he calculated in his heart that he must snatch a few Geniuses into his sect before the other Elders reacted.

At the same time.

Quite a few Geniuses had already successfully crossed the sea of thunder and entered the central area of the Leiming Secret Realm.

Seeing Ji Taichang collect so many leiming tokens so easily, while they felt shocked, some also revealed a fierce glint in their eyes, and a malicious sneer curled at the corners of their mouths!

Soon.

When Ji Taichang broke the trap under a large tree and was about to collect the leiming token hanging on the branch, a piercing sound of something breaking through the air suddenly rang out!

Three sharp arrows attacked from behind Ji Taichang, incomparably sharp and carrying a chilling aura.

Ji Taichang brought his fingers together and lightly slashed as he turned around.

A cyan Sword Qi bloomed, colliding with the three sharp arrows in mid-air, emitting a dull, thunderous sound, with sparks flying everywhere, like blooming fireworks.

"Kid, be honest and hand over all the leiming tokens on you, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!"

A blue-haired youth walked over with a sneer on his face.

He was followed by seven other young men and women, all of whom had Earth Immortal Realm cultivation and impressive auras, surrounding Ji Taichang and Qin Shishi.

"He is the adopted son of the Lu Family Clan Chief, known as the once-in-a-millennium Genius, Tang Chuan!"

"Those people beside him are also experts from the younger generation of the Lu Family."

"They have come with bad intentions; this young man is in trouble!"

In Leiming City, many Cultivators looked up at the light screen in the sky, clearly seeing the standoff between Ji Taichang and the blue-haired youth.

Excitement immediately appeared on everyone's faces.

Ji Taichang's ocular techniques were very strong, and he had collected a huge pile of leiming tokens in a very short time.

But everyone had not yet seen Ji Taichang fight, and they were all very curious about exactly how strong Ji Taichang was!

"Young Master, leave these people to me to deal with!"

Qin Shishi spoke somewhat impatiently.

Since following Ji Taichang for this period, Ji Taichang had always been the one protecting her, and she had not had the opportunity to strike.

Now that Qin Shishi had awakened her Mystic Yin Physique and her cultivation had broken through to the Peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm, she could finally contribute to Ji Taichang, so she really wanted to show off a bit.

Ji Taichang nodded slightly, "Go ahead, life or death does not matter."

The conversation between the two infuriated Tang Chuan!

"You think you can deal with us by sending a maid?"

"And 'life or death does not matter'? Who do you think you are, acting all tough!"

"Die!"

Tang Chuan formed hand seals, his seventh-level Earth Immortal Realm cultivation erupting without reservation; a blue vine appeared behind him, its dense branches spreading like tentacles, further wreathed in ghostly blue flames, stabbing towards Ji Taichang and Qin Shishi, covering the sky and earth.
