Chapter 618: Extreme Yin Body!
Chapter 618: Extreme Yin Body!
Standing outside the medicinal herb garden, Ling Feng called out, "Elder Yan, it's me!"
The massive aura that had been blocking the medicinal herb garden suddenly receded. A clear and powerful voice responded, "Kid, come on in!"
Just as I expected!
Ling Feng rubbed his nose. Elder Yan managed to break through to the realm of a human emperor, so he should be among the few peak experts of the Tianbai Empire now.
The difference between a half-step human emperor and human emperor was vast in both strength and status. Moreover, Yan Cangtian had accumulated power over time, so now, his strength likely surpassed that of many human emperor experts.
"Follow me inside," Ling Feng told Tuoba Yan, who was behind him. He then stepped into Yan Cangtian's meditation chamber.
Upon entering, Ling Feng saw Yan Cangtian standing with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face. His aura was vastly different from before.
"Congratulations, Elder Yan!" Ling Feng greeted him with a fist-and-palm salute, genuinely happy for Yan Cangtian.
"Haha, if it weren't for your Poison Fruit of Ten Thousand Evil and Earth-Fire True Essence, this old man would have needed another decade or more to reach the human emperor realm!" Yan Cangtian's mood was excellent, especially seeing that Ling Feng had returned safely and appeared to have made some breakthroughs of his own.
Suddenly, Yan Cangtian noticed the woman standing behind Ling Feng and couldn't help but feel curious. "Kid, you usually don't bring outsiders here. What's this? Is she your sweetheart?"
"Elder Yan, you've misunderstood." Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile and quickly explained, "This is Tuoba Yan, the new Sacred Master of the Tiance Clan. Due to some lingering gu poison in her body, she cannot be more than a hundred zhang away from me."
"Oh?" Yan Cangtian raised an eyebrow. "There's such a strange gu poison in this world?"
"Mhmm," Ling Feng nodded. "The poison is called the Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu. She accidentally became infected while exploring the imperial tomb. I came here not only to visit you, Elder Yan, but also to see if you might have a way to remove the gu poison from Miss Tuoba."
"Even with your medical skills, you're at a loss?"
Yan Cangtian's interest was piqued. He reached out, pulling Tuoba Yan closer with a gentle force. After examining her for a moment, his eyes widened in surprise. "Young lady, do you possess an Extreme Yin Body?"
Tuoba Yan bit her lip, frowning slightly, and replied through gritted teeth, "So what if I do?"
"Hehe. Just asking, nothing more."
Yan Cangtian smiled faintly, casting a knowing glance at Ling Feng. Inwardly, he thought: An Extreme Yin Body, rare even in a thousand years, and this kid managed to encounter one. Could it be fate?
Shaking his head with a smile, Yan Cangtian placed his hand on Tuoba Yan's shoulder. A thick stream of elemental force flowed into her body as he probed the gu poison.
After a while, Yan Cangtian's brows furrowed even more. Shaking his head, he said, "This gu poison is truly strange. It seems connected to the very source of her soul. If we try to forcibly remove it, it could severely harm this young lady. In my opinion, we can only wait for the residual poison to dissipate on its own."
"Even you have no solution, Elder Yan?" Ling Feng sighed softly and turned to Tuoba Yan. "Miss Tuoba, I'll keep searching for a way."
Tuoba Yan remained as cold as ever, merely replying indifferently, "No need to trouble yourself. Being a maid for a year or two is no big deal."
"Maid?" Yan Cangtian's eyes twitched before he burst into laughter. "The Sacred Master of the Tiance Clan, serving as your maid? How amusing! Truly amusing!"
"Elder Yan, please stop teasing us," Ling Feng said as he shook his head and took out a clean bottle. "Elder Yan, this contains some Tiance Spirit Spring water that I found in the imperial tomb. Since you've just broken through, it will help stabilize your cultivation."
"Tiance Spirit Spring?" Yan Cangtian took the bottle and opened the cap, and incredibly pure spiritual energy immediately wafted out, startling him.
"Uh... kid, you should keep this for yourself!" Yan Cangtian was almost at a loss for words. Despite the bottle's small size, it was actually a magical treasure with a small space inside. The amount of spirit spring water inside was comparable to what Ling Feng had given the despicable donkey.
"I have more," Ling Feng said as he raised an eyebrow with a smile. "Elder Yan, you're my strongest support. Naturally, the stronger you are, the better."
"You rascal!" Yan Cangtian squinted and smiled. Over the past half a year, it seemed like he had been helping Ling Feng, but in reality, if it weren't for Ling Feng, he wouldn't have reached the human emperor realm. He might still be mad and delirious.
"Since Elder Yan has no way to remove the gu poison from Miss Tuoba, I'll take my leave now and let you focus on your cultivation."
After leaving the bottle full of Tiance Spirit Spring water, Ling Feng bid farewell. Yan Cangtian had just broken through and still needed some time to stabilize his realm.
"Hmm, alright. I won't keep you. Once I'm fully recovered, I'll teach you a few more tricks!" Yan Cangtian stroked his long beard.
Over the past half year, he had taught almost everything he could. Finding martial skills suitable for Ling Feng's current level was becoming increasingly difficult. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Then I look forward to Elder Yan's return," Ling Feng responded as he smiled faintly and left the medicinal herb garden with Tuoba Yan.
"By the way," Ling Feng suddenly thought of something as they walked a few steps away. He turned to Tuoba Yan and said, "Miss Tuoba, to avoid suspicion, from now on, I will call you Yan'er, and you should address me as young master. How does that sound?"
Tuoba Yan nodded slightly and softly called out, "Young master."
"Mm-hmm, that will do. We'll adjust the details as we go," Ling Feng rubbed his nose and glanced at Tuoba Yan. No matter how he looked at her, she didn't fit the image of a maid. Her presence was too striking. But this was the best they could do.
Perhaps this was what people meant by "natural beauty was hard to conceal!"
After leaving the medicinal herb garden, Ling Feng didn't immediately return to his living quarters. Instead, he visited the East Court's sword team training ground. Unfortunately, except for a few substitute members, none of the other members had returned. It seemed they wouldn't be back until the end of the holiday.
"I didn't expect the captain and the others to train so rigorously. I wonder how strong they'll be when they return, especially Xiaofan and that guy Li Bufan. One obtained Xuanwu blood, and the other the teachings of the Wind and Thunder Transformation. Their strength will surely be astonishing."
Ling Feng rubbed his nose, a smile playing on his lips.
"No matter how strong they get, they won't be stronger than you, Master!" Zifeng's voice echoed in Ling Feng's mind. "Who else could be as monstrous as you, opening forty or fifty meridian gates in one go?"
Ling Feng shook his head with a smile, ignoring Zifeng as he silently left the training ground with Tuoba Yan.
...
Meanwhile, in the East Court's sky-tier student area, three figures—two men and one woman—caught the attention of many students around them.
The woman in the center was dressed in a white gown, her figure graceful, and her face beautiful and exuding an aura of nobility. On her shoulder was a lazy black cat.
If Ling Feng were here, he would immediately recognize this white-robed woman as the little beggar he had encountered in the Heavenly Forest, Mu Qianxue[1]!
