Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 761 - 771: Took the Wrong Medicine!
With Chu Feng’s current status, although he has yet to be promoted to True Disciple, the treatment he receives is in no way inferior to that of True Disciples.
Even many True Disciples are not as well-regarded as him.
Along the way, no one hindered him.
Even when entering the sect’s forbidden grounds, the four Inner Sect Guardians who were keeping watch merely conducted a symbolic inspection before letting him pass.
"Disciple Chu Feng pays respect to the Sect Master!" Chu Feng’s admiration for the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect came from the heart, and he no longer dared to underestimate this man.
When they first met, Chu Feng felt that Fang Xuanling was too slick.
Only later did he gradually understand the painstaking intentions of the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
Managing a sect this large, with over a million disciples, requires tremendous effort to unify and lead them as one. It’s an extremely difficult task.
Wherever there are people, there will be worldly society, and there will be strife.
To resolve all these different conflicts is no easy matter.
Even more admirable is that the cultivation of the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect has not fallen behind. To this date, he is said to be the only one in the entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect who has practiced the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill to the Ninth Level.
Of course, there is one exception.
That is Qiu Jizi.
Because Qiu Jizi rarely takes action and seldom shows his face, no one knows the extent of his skills.
Take the time he saved Chu Feng, for instance; even the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect was unaware that Qiu Jizi had actually reached the Four Tribulations Supreme Sword God Realm. It shows this sly old man has hidden himself very well.
Chu Feng suspects that Qiu Jizi may have practiced the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill to the Ninth Level long ago.
Or even higher.
Because when Qiu Jizi killed the Supreme Elder of the Liehuo Sect that day, it was truly like bullying a child.
With just a casual stroke of his sword, he could kill a respected figure.
If it were just two or three ranks higher in cultivation, it shouldn’t have been that easy.
"Ah, Chu Feng, you’ve just returned not long ago, you should rest and recuperate more!" The Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect was neither meditating nor practicing swordsmanship, but writing.
The ground was already scattered with Ink Treasures left by the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
The characters in these writings exude a noble spirit, each and every stroke like shining pearls, as if they had come to life.
"The Sect Master’s calligraphy has its own unique style; the handwriting is robust and powerful, with sharp angles that yet somehow exude smoothness—I fear even a great master of calligraphy could do no better!" Chu Feng couldn’t help but praise enthusiastically.
To see one’s writing is to see the person.
The characters written by Fang Xuanling are just like his behavior, edged where they should be edged.
But the overall impression is still smooth and polished like jade.
"Haha, you flatter our sect with such praise as soon as you step in. Do you have something to ask from me?" The Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect stopped writing and looked at Chu Feng.
"Disciple has come here specifically to express my gratitude! The sect mobilized many esteemed experts last time to rescue me, and I have been deeply grateful in my heart ever since. I don’t have many other skills, but my alchemy is passable. I have specifically refined a few batches of Elixirs to offer to the sect."
Chu Feng, mindful of his debt of gratitude, smiled as he took out the Elixirs he had personally crafted since his return.
"You are considerate indeed! If there’s nothing else, go back and focus on your cultivation. Lately, the Divine Martial Continent is fraught with upheavals, and there may be significant changes ahead! The Heavenly Mechanism Elder once prophesied that after eighty thousand years, the Divine Martial Continent will face a great catastrophe. All beings will suffer from this calamity!"
"You possess the Nine Yang Sword Veins and are the reincarnation of the Eternal Life Pill Master; your foundation is solid, your talent exceptional. When the time comes, the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. Merely having Sword Saint Cultivation will not be enough."
The expression of the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect was very serious.
He did not seem to be joking.
Chu Feng also listened with a shiver in his heart. In his previous life, he had far fewer attachments.
After his rebirth, his Senior brothers and sisters, numerous close female acquaintances, and his loyal followers. All these people would become Chu Feng’s ties.
"Sect Master, I’m not sure how did you comprehend the final level of the Transformation Sword Skill when you cultivated it?" Chu Feng hesitated for a moment, but still decided to humbly seek guidance.
His Heaven and Earth Sword Skill and Transformation Sword Skill were both stuck at the final level, unable to advance.
This also caused his cultivation to remain stagnant at the Sword Saint Realm.
"Haste does not bring success, without breaking, there’s no establishing! You can go deep into the Gui Xu Secret Realm, where there is a Mysterious Mirror, perhaps you can find the answer within it and break through!"
The Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect said with a smile.
Mysterious Mirror?
Chu Feng had cultivated in the Gui Xu Secret Realm countless times, unaware of the secret hidden deep within the realm.
After bidding farewell to the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Chu Feng headed straight for the Gui Xu Secret Realm.
The timing couldn’t be worse; it turned out that Si Huang, Han Sheng, Lu Kuixi, and others were all there. After not seeing each other for a while, Si Huang seemed to have improved her cultivation significantly. She looked even colder and more beautiful.
"Chu Feng, are you also here to cultivate in the Gui Xu Secret Realm?" Dongxue would always greet Chu Feng warmly with a smile each time she saw him.
Each time Lu Kuixi saw this, he would be so angry that he could spit blood.
"We really are fated, frequently bumping into each other!" Chu Feng also responded with a smile. "Dongxue, you look particularly beautiful today."
"Really? You just know how to sweet-talk and fool someone!" Dongxue subconsciously touched her face, then fiddled with the hair ornament on her head.
Her attire today was indeed quite fitting.
Already blessed with great beauty, carefully dressed, she was like the fairies mentioned in legends.
"Dongxue, girls should be reserved and mindful of their image. Don’t take it seriously when a man casually compliments you. Some men are just fickle and full of sweet nothings. Once they’re tired of you, they’ll kick you aside with a single foot," Si Huang said coldly.
Chu Feng couldn’t help but touch his nose, what’s gotten into this woman?
He had been busy cultivating and dealing with various things recently. He hadn’t offended Si Huang, that icy-cold woman.
A wise man does not fight with women, so Chu Feng held his tongue.
With his current strength, he no longer needed to fear Si Huang.
Even without using his Demon Body, Chu Feng still had the strength to fight.
"Toad, did you hear that? Telling you to scram, don’t always be eyeing this beauty and that. Dongxue is innocent, but if you want to deceive her, you’ll have to get past me first," Lu Kuixi, this Birdman, was getting fired up.
He actually stood in front of Chu Feng, staring him down coldly.
"A good dog doesn’t block the way, scram!"
Chu Feng’s face turned cold, and stepping forward, his overwhelming aura pressed directly towards Lu Kuixi.
Forget a Nine-star Sword God, even a Supreme Sword God Level powerhouse, Chu Feng had slaughtered one before. This mere Lu Kuixi daring to show off in front of him was simply seeking death.
"What did you say? Want to fight, is that it?"
"If you’ve got the guts, fight on the arena!"
Lu Kuixi, the third-ranked powerhouse on the Heavenly List, couldn’t stand being yelled at by Chu Feng like this.
In a rage, he immediately challenged Chu Feng to a duel.
Han Sheng was a bit smarter, knowing that Chu Feng was not easy to provoke and tried his best not to offend Chu Feng these days.
Nor did he dare to challenge Chu Feng rashly.
