Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Crafty Yan Cangtian!

”Hmm?”

This time, it was Yan Cangtian’s turn to be shocked. Who was Yun Danqing?

Twenty years ago, Yun Danqing had already risen as a master of the Alchemy Dao. Even Yan Cangtian, who was rarely submissive and always proud, had to admit his admiration for Yun Danqing’s alchemical skills.

Such a person, whose mere stomp could cause a huge commotion in the world of alchemy, actually knew Ling Feng?

”Old Yun, you actually know that young fellow?” Yan Cangtian looked at Yun Danqing in disbelief, a vision of Ling Feng flashing through his mind.

How mysterious could this young man’s background be!

”I have only heard of him,” Yun Danqing took a deep breath with a flash of admiration in his eyes.

Truth be told, Yun Danqing had never met Ling Feng. It was when Yuan Qianshen brought out an ”Evil Origin Pill” refined by Ling Feng for Yun Danqing to appraise.

After that, Yun Danqing learned of Ling Feng’s name from Yuan Qianshen.

Later on, when Yun Danqing sought out Elder Wen Tingguang, he found out that Ling Feng had been sent away and would not return to Cangqiong Mountain until half a year later.

Yun Danqing asked around extensively, but Wen Tingguang kept his lips sealed, refusing to disclose any information about Ling Feng. This, in turn, only increased Yun Danqing’s interest in Ling Feng.

”Hehe.” Hearing that Yun Danqing had only heard of Ling Feng’s name whereas he had at least passed on to Ling Feng the ”Skyfire Avenue Technique”, making him half a teacher to the youth, Yan Cangtian smiled ear to ear, delighted.

”Elder Yan, from what you’re saying, you and this young friend Ling Feng are quite familiar?” Yun Danqing was a bit excited.

”Fairly familiar,” Yan Cangtian lifted an eyebrow, boasting proudly, ”I know what you want to ask, but you better not. The lad wouldn’t want you disturbing him.”

”Ah!” Yun Danqing sighed heavily, feeling a great regret that he had missed his chance with this mysterious ”young master.”

Shangguan Chu, who listened to the conversation between Yan Cangtian and Yun Danqing, was utterly confused.

A teenager in his teens?

A young master revered by both Yan Cangtian and Yun Danqing?

Who exactly was this Ling Feng?

Shangguan Chu silently noted down the name, thinking this might be a peerless individual capable of elevating the alchemy standards of the Sky White Empire to new heights.

”Well, then, well, then!” Yun Danqing sighed again and then said, ”Elder Yan, you mentioned that you have obtained the complete ’Azure Cloud Pattern Elixir’ recipe. Would you mind sharing it so we can study it together?”

”I came today precisely for this matter. Certainly, I wouldn’t be stingy with such a small thing as an elixir recipe.”

Yan Cangtian took out a handwritten elixir recipe from a Spirit Storage Ring gleaming with gold, saying indifferently, ”All the ingredients are basically available in my Spiritual Medicine Garden, except for the most important one—a Blazing Blood Dragon Eagle’s eyeball.”

As he spoke, Yan Cangtian couldn’t help but heave a sigh. The Azure Cloud Pattern Elixir was related to his alchemical career, so naturally, it was of utmost importance to him.

Yun Danqing and Shangguan Chu came closer to examine the elixir recipe. However, they had barely looked halfway when they noticed the latter part was obscured, causing them to frown.

”Elder Yan, you’re not being very sincere here!” Yun Danqing said with displeasure.

”Hehe, put one’s own interest before righteousness,” Yan Cangtian put away the elixir recipe and smirked, ”You heard just now, refining the Azure Cloud Pattern Elixir is missing the eyeball of a Blazing Blood Dragon Eagle. If you, the Alchemy Master Guild, can provide this Demon King’s eyeball, I’ll give you the recipe without a second word!”

”Demon King’s eyeball!” Both Yun Danqing and Shangguan Chu couldn’t help but gasp.

”Old Man Yan, you really have the nerve to say that!”

”What’s the problem? Does the elixir recipe for the Azure Cloud Pattern Elixir truly compare unfavorably to a single Demon King’s eyeball?” Yan Cangtian declared with utter indifference.

”In terms of value, naturally, the elixir recipe far exceeds a Demon King’s eyeball,” Yun Danqing said somberly, ”However, obtaining the corpse of a beast like the Blazing Blood Dragon Eagle will be extremely challenging...”

”That’s not my concern. If the Alchemy Master Guild can provide me with the eyeball of a Blazing Blood Dragon Eagle, I’ll hand over the elixir recipe,” Yan Cangtian abruptly rose to his feet and said indifferently, ”Later, I’m also going to inquire with the Sky Alliance Commerce and the Yingxiao Black Market to see who can provide a Demon King’s eyeball. Whoever does, I’ll give the elixir recipe to them.”

With that, Yan Cangtian sauntered towards the door. ”I refuse to believe they won’t be interested in the elixir recipe for the Azure Cloud Pattern Elixir!”

”Hold on a moment!” Shangguan Chu, acting as the proxy president of the Alchemy Master Guild, quickly intercepted Yan Cangtian, saying through clenched teeth, ”Master Yan, could you give our Alchemy Master Guild three months’ time? If after three months we can’t provide the Demon King’s eyeball, it wouldn’t be too late to involve the Sky Alliance Commerce and Yingxiao Black Market then.”

”Why should I?” Yan Cangtian didn’t even look back and continued to walk faster.

Shangguan Chu gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, ”Master Yan, if the transaction is successful, our Alchemy Master Guild will provide an additional five hundred thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones. Is that enough?”

”Heh heh...” A smile curved on Yan Cangtian’s lips as he leisurely turned around, nodding and laughing, ”Considering I was once a part of the Alchemy Master Guild, all right, it’s a deal!”

Shangguan Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that if the president were here, they likely would have been willing to agree to even higher terms.

Yun Danqing, who saw everything, couldn’t help but shake his head, ”The world says you, old timer, have gone insane, but from what I see, not only are you not crazy, you’ve become even more cunning!”

”Heh, it goes both ways!”

Yan Cangtian smirked and then strode out of the Alchemy Master Guild.

Next, the Alchemy Master Guild’s apprentices would likely mobilize alchemists throughout the nation to search for the eyeball of the Blazing Blood Dragon Eagle.

It must be said, the method was truly diabolical!

And the person who came up with this method wasn’t Yan Cangtian; it was the behind-the-scenes ”Think Tank,” Ling Feng.

...

Tianshu East Courtyard Martial Arts Arena.

After a relatively ”easy” training session had ended, the Devil Instructor finally called it a day. The students, exhausted and stumbling over each other, supported one another back to their living quarters.

After several days of training, most of them had begun to adapt to the weight-bearing exercises, and as their physical fitness improved, so did their reaction speed.

It goes without saying that the reason Heavenly Rank Academy stood among the Four Great Universities was its unique approach to teaching martial arts.

Even Ling Feng took mental notes, planning to implement this training method at Wenxian Sect after his return, to incorporate into the daily regime for the Asking Immortal Sect disciples.

While it might be a stretch to say it would greatly enhance Wenxian Sect’s standards overnight, it would undoubtedly raise the overall level uniformly.

Before long, Ling Feng and a few other students who were staying at Tianshu East Courtyard returned to the courtyard.

He had just sat down to rest when there came a knocking at the door, followed by a respectful voice, ”Excuse me, is Young Master Ling Feng here?”

Looking up, they saw a young man in a green long robe standing at the doorway, knocking gently.

When the students, especially Yang Jun, whose family background was the most distinguished among them, saw the ”Heavenly Vault” badge worn on the youth’s left shoulder, their eyelids twitched.

Because that badge signified that he was a Cangqiong Disciple!
