Chapter 314: Utterly Astonishing!
The night was cold and silent.
This was the first time Ling Feng had voluntarily gone to Yan Cangtian's medicinal herb garden.
After obtaining the team member's token for the East Court's sword team, Ling Feng gained access to the core area of Tianwei Academy.
"Elder Yan, are you here?"
Ling Feng, familiar with the place, entered Yan Cangtian's medicinal herb garden. In the alchemy hall, he saw an old man with disheveled hair, deeply pondering over a few dark donkey hairs on the table.
"..."
Ling Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. So Yan Cangtian was still studying the hairs from that despicable donkey!
"Elder Yan, I'm here!"
Ling Feng raised his voice, finally drawing Yan Cangtian's attention.
Yan Cangtian turned and looked at Ling Feng in surprise. "You're back?"
According to their agreement, they were supposed to meet last night. Since Ling Feng hadn't returned by then, Yan Cangtian assumed he was still undergoing the trial in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder and didn't pay much attention outside of that.
Fortunately, Yan Cangtian hadn't gone directly to find Tong Chengtai, or else Tong Chengtai would have suffered unjustly.
Even so, Tong Chengtai had been so frightened that he lost his appetite and sleep for two days and started questioning everything about his life.
A half-step emperor, especially a mad half-step emperor, wielded an incredibly terrifying level of intimidation.
"Mhmm, I just got back."
Seeing Yan Cangtian still focused on the black donkey hairs, Ling Feng realized that Yan Cangtian probably hadn't left the place all day and was likely unaware of his victory over the North Court's second team.
"Sigh..."
Yan Cangtian sighed, feeling frustrated. "To think that I, Yan Cangtian, a dignified sixth-tier peak alchemist, have spent days studying this and still cannot determine the origin of that black donkey."
"It's just a despicable donkey."
Ling Feng shook his head. However, the origins of this despicable donkey were indeed extraordinary.
After all, ordinary donkeys were born naturally, while this despicable donkey, according to the spiritual manifestation of the Tianbai Emperor, hatched from a divine beast egg.
This was indeed unusual, and since it was a so-called divine beast, it was no surprise that Yan Cangtian couldn't figure it out.
"Elder Yan, that despicable donkey might indeed be an enlightened black donkey," Ling Feng said with a smile. "Anyway, I brought you something good this time!"
"Hmm? What is it?"
Yan Cangtian's eyes twitched. "Don't tell me you found the eye of a Scarlet Blood Dragon Eagle in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder? Now that would be something valuable to me. Anything else..."
Yan Cangtian paused before continuing, "I wouldn't be too impressed by."
"Hellish difficulty?"
Yan Cangtian's pupils dilated in surprise as he looked at Ling Feng. "Brat, what did you say? Hellish difficulty?"
"Yes, the hellish difficulty." Ling Feng nodded and continued, "So, I could actually choose and take nine bottles of sixth-tier top-grade medicinal pills, not just one."
Yan Cangtian's mouth twitched. This is fucking awkward!
What a waste of my emotions!
This is emotional deceit!
An awkward silence followed.
Followed by more silence
It was a long, long silence.
Yan Cangtian gave Ling Feng an aggrieved look, thinking to himself: You should have said so earlier!
"You're talking about the hellish difficulty?"
After the awkwardness passed, Yan Cangtian was overwhelmed with shock.
What a freak!
What a monster!
Yan Cangtian stared at Ling Feng as if he were a freak. "Kid, are you saying you passed the ninth level of the hellish difficulty?"
"Mhmm." Ling Feng nodded.
This was something he couldn't tell others, but he could definitely tell Yan Cangtian.
After all, over the past two months, Ling Feng had come to trust that Yan Cangtian was an upright and honorable senior.
"Gulp."
Yan Cangtian swallowed hard, staring at Ling Feng. His heart was overwhelmed with unparalleled shock and was unable to calm down.
Even throughout the history of the Yijian Sect, only one disciple at Ling Feng’s level had successfully passed the ninth level of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder, and that disciple was known as the Thousand-Year Sword!
Ling Feng was likely the Second Thousand-Year Sword!
"Does that mean you've comprehended the legendary sword will of the ninth level of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder?"
Yan Cangtian gasped in astonishment.
Ling Feng touched his nose. Yan Cangtian, with his deep knowledge, was indeed worthy of his high status in the Tianwei Academy.
He nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I comprehended the sword will of the ninth level of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder. It is called the Reincarnated Sword Will!"
