1042: C1042 He Got Nothing

C1042 He Got Nothing

To put it simply, it's very hard to find a meteor falling in the process unless there's a cultivator with keen senses nearby. Of course, you can just see the meteor with your naked eyes.

The most common people in the world were still ordinary people. At most, they had some intuition. Without intense spiritual energy reactions, it was naturally very difficult to detect the falling meteor. Only when the meteorite hit the ground would the explosion of flames and sound be noticed by ordinary people. From there, they would know that a meteor had fallen.

As long as the meteorite wasn't directly detected by cultivators, there was a high chance that it would be discovered in this way. After the cultivators came here, they could only ask the ordinary people about it. After careful analysis and even a large-scale search, they would be able to find the meteorite.

The meteorite in the vicinity of this town belonged to those that weren't directly observed by the cultivators.

Now, there were already many cultivators gathered in the town, but no one was able to find any traces of the meteorite.

Of course, this did not exclude the possibility that some people had discovered the traces of the meteorites, but had concealed them. Therefore, the longer this dragged on, the more anxious the cultivators at the vanguard station became.

After all, the meteorite was so precious, even though they were just standing in front of the meteorite, however, they had to shoulder a very important mission. Don't look at how low the grade of these people were. Every time they found a valuable meteorite, they would receive generous rewards from their respective organizations.

Ye Bufan did not reward them, but he also decided to participate in this search. Even if the meteorite this time was not worth much, it was just a small meteorite. He also hoped to find it. After breaking through the core, he would take a look at the structure inside.

To him, searching for this meteorite didn't seem like a competition for resources. Rather, it was more like he was satisfying his curiosity and conducting scientific research.

After finishing his meal, Ye Bufan found an inn to stay in. During the day, he disguised himself as a travelling warlock and walked around the streets to collect information. At night, he would revert to his warrior attire and leave the inn to search for meteorites.

After five days, he still found nothing.

Although he didn't find anything for the time being, Ye Bufan didn't feel worried. He was here to enjoy the process. Besides, he didn't have any good news, so did the other cultivators.

One should know that some cultivators came more than ten days earlier than him, but they didn't find anything.

He had even discovered that some of the cultivators had started to work together. They began to conduct a carpet search with the town as the center. They searched every inch of the land until they found the meteorite as the main source.

This method seemed pretty good, but Ye Bufan knew that their biggest possibility was still failure.

If the surroundings of the town were like a vast plain, it would be fine. Such a carpet search would be effective very soon, but in reality, the surroundings of the town were not flat plains.

There was a huge mountain to the southwest of the town. It was not an ordinary mountain, but a huge mountain range. The mountain range was densely covered with primitive forests. There were all kinds of wild beasts, mutant beast, and Demonic Beast roaming about frequently. Once the meteorite fell into the mountain, they would use a carpet search method to find the meteorite. It was completely impossible.

It was not only because of the terrain of the mountain, but also because the deep mountains and forests were often the territory of beasts. Ordinary beast cultivators were naturally not afraid, but they had special abilities. A stronger mutant beast was not easy to deal with.

If they encountered a Demonic Beast with the same level of intelligence, then this group of Third Grade Martial Origin cultivators would be like delivering food to them. They were simply adding food to the Demonic Beast, why would they need to look for meteorites?

Although Ye Bufan wasn't optimistic about the joint operation of these cultivators, he didn't stay idle the next day. Instead, he quietly followed behind these cultivators. After all, it wasn't impossible for them to succeed.

With his Fifth Grade of Martial Origin cultivation base, following behind these Third Grade Martial Origin warriors without being discovered was a piece of cake for him.

Early in the morning, the cultivators gathered at the town's main gate. The farmers who were out working looked at them curiously as they began searching the ground.

Ye Bufan was standing behind these warriors from afar, and he could tell what was going on with just a glance.

These cultivators weren't fools, the search alliance they formed didn't include the southwest direction.

Obviously, they knew that once the meteorite fell into the mountains, their alliance would be useless. They might as well not arrange manpower in that direction.

Ye Bufan nodded and followed behind the main group, silently watching them slowly advance.

This exploration lasted for five days, but they still did not find anything.

The temporary alliance formed by the cultivators couldn't continue, because everyone knew that the meteorite had definitely fallen into the mountains. The so-called carpet search was completely meaningless in the mountains.

Some cultivators hesitated, some chose to give up, but most of them still began to make preparations, obviously preparing to enter the mountains to continue searching.

Ye Bufan wouldn't give up this opportunity no matter what. He also began to make preparations. He bought a lot of food and water from the town, as well as some flower dew and herbs to defend against mosquito bites. He put all of them into the storage ring as consumables for entering the mountain.

He wasn't the only one who did this. All the cultivators who stayed behind did the same. All the merchants in the town immediately beamed with joy and began to calculate the purchase this time. After that, they would be able to earn a few more profits.0

On the night of the purchase, cultivators had already entered the mountains. After all, after the dissolution of the alliance, who would be able to find the meteorite first? Whoever would be the first to inform the headquarters would have a higher chance of taking the meteorite back.

Ye Bufan did not enter the mountain immediately. He still wanted to keep his identity as a travelling warlock. If someone found out that he was a fake traveling warlock, he would be a cultivator.

It was very likely that the cultivators he had offended in the Moon Lake Grand Ceremony would all come to find him. That would be a huge problem.

The cultivators were very decisive when entering the mountain. By the third day, not many people were left in town. Ye Bufan knew that it was finally time for him to leave.

On the third night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. He was wearing a night robe. He jumped out of the inn's window with his face covered and leaned against the window edge. He closed the window of the guest room first and then jumped onto the roof of a restaurant opposite the inn.

Following the roof of the restaurant, he walked towards the outside of the town. Very soon, he arrived at the entrance of the town. With a leap, he jumped out of the Spirit Qi wall and rushed towards the mountain.

Although the wall of spiritual energy was powerful, it was not always open. In fact, it was always activated. The consumption of the wall of spiritual energy was definitely not something that the formation could support. It required a lot of extra treasures, such as Moon Stone, pill, and so on.

Although the town had a Spirit Qi Wall, it did not have the ability to supply the consumption of these treasures. Therefore, the Spirit Qi Wall in the town had always been in a half-activated state. Only people directly attacked the town. Only then would the Spirit Wall be activated to protect the town's safety.

Ye Bufan's actions of only flipping over the wall and not causing any damage to the town would not allow the Spirit Qi Wall to be activated.

After crossing the Spirit Qi Wall and leaving the town, Ye Bufan headed towards the mountain in the southwest direction. Along the way, he did not conceal his speed at all. Every leap he made could cover dozens of meters. Soon, he disappeared into the dense forest of the mountain.

Once he entered the forest, Ye Bufan had no choice but to spread his perception and spread it to the greatest extent.

It was night time, and the forest was filled with towering trees. The top of his head was completely covered by lush branches and leaves, and not even a trace of starlight could be seen. Their surroundings had already become pitch black, and their field of vision was completely restricted. Being able to see his own hands clearly was all thanks to Ye Bufan's good eyesight.

For a Fourth Grade of Martial Origin warrior, this kind of environment could definitely be called a place where they couldn't see their own fingers. Without the help of their senses, they would be completely blind. Let alone discovering a meteorite, they could even walk two more steps. It was very likely that they would be tripped by the roots and rocks.

After he spread his senses, Ye Bufan did not rush to choose a direction to blindly walk down. He had to first find the direction where the meteorite might have fallen.

And this task was not so easy to complete.

When the meteorite had fallen, it was at night. Most of the residents of the town were dreaming. They were woken up by the sudden explosion. They saw the red clouds, but no one left the town to check it out. When the next day was peaceful, the villagers quickly forgot about it. It was only after the cultivators came out to ask around that they gradually recalled the situation.

There was only so much information from the villagers, how could they determine the location of the meteorite based on these things?

Ye Bufan sat on a large rock and thought hard about it.

"Ding Dong..."

A flash of lightning flashed across Ye Bufan's mind. He thought of a possibility.

According to the villagers, after the meteorite fell, it started burning intensely. Although this burning reaction was the intense reaction of the Spiritual Qi, it was different from ordinary burning. It would be extinguished very soon, but if the meteorite fell into the forest... The burning would definitely affect the forest.

"Ice fruit, that's it. As long as we find the traces of the forest being burned, we can find the meteorite" Ye Bufan thought of a way and jumped off the rock. He started to shake his nose.

Every time a cultivator advanced, not only would the quantity and quality of their true qi increase, but also the quality. It also had a clear effect on strengthening the body. Whether it is hearing, sense of smell, sight, or sense of touch, they will all have an obvious improvement. Although it couldn't be compared to some animals that were particularly outstanding in these aspects, it was already very shocking when compared to ordinary people.

Ye Bufan, who was already a Fifth Grade of Martial Origin, had a very strong sense of smell. Although it wasn't as good as a dog's nose, it wasn't far from it. The best thing was that his sense of smell could be switched between his strongest state and his normal state at any time. Compared to a dog's nose, it was much better to suffer because of the strange smell.
