Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Ling Feng, I’ve Long Admired Your Reputation! (1 Update)

”Was it really wrong for him to admonish?”

The robed elder, his appearance gaunt and his expression utterly stern, commanded respect without showing anger.

When eei Rong’s teacher, He Taichong, saw the elder, he couldn’t help but shudder and quickly approached him, respectfully saying, ”Master Yun, what brings you here?”

Master Yun!

Everyone immediately widened their eyes; in the entire Empire, there was only one ”Master Yun”—none other than the Chief Alchemist of the Cangqiong Sect, Yun Danqing!

In addition to the title of Chief Alchemist of the Cangqiong Sect, Yun Danqing also held the position of Honorary Guild Master of the Alchemy Master Guild, Honorary Guild Master of the royal family, and even served as an honorary professor in the Four Great Imperial Colleges; his numerous titles were too many to count.

Such a paragon of the Alchemy Dao, whose mere footstep could cause an uproar in the Imperial City, was not someone He Taichong, a mere Fifth-rank Alchemist, could compare with.

It must have been General Deng’s considerable influence that could invite such a personage; otherwise, ordinary people could hardly expect to see him.

Clearly recognizing He Taichong, Yun Danqing swept a lukewarm glance over him, indifferently saying, ”Impetuous and restless—achieving Fifth-rank is likely your limit. You really should listen to what that young brother had said earlier.”

”Yes, yes, yes!” He Taichong hastily nodded, sweat faintly breaking out on his forehead.

The same words spoken by Ling Feng would be considered arrogant, but coming from Yun Danqing, they were faultless.

Being reprimanded by him was considered ”guidance,” a chance not everyone had the fortune to enjoy!

”Hahaha...” General Deng took a step forward, laughing heartily, ”Brother Yun, it’s not easy for me to have you come over; let’s not be so serious, haha! Master He, you too, hahaha...”

He Taichong, his forehead beaded with sweat, smiled wryly, ”In front of Master Yun, how dare I call myself a master? Please, General Deng, don’t put me on the spot.”

”Haha, I am a simple man, skilled in fighting and killing—I just can’t stand that pedantic sour air about you scholars.”

Deng Xian laughed heartily, turning to the Deng family disciples and calling out loudly, ”Come, come, come, pay your respects to Master Yun!”

”Master Yun!”

The Deng family disciples promptly bowed their heads in salute, and with General Deng’s interjection, the previously awkward atmosphere lightened considerably.

As the saying goes, ”with age comes cunning”—General Deng’s ability to climb to his position revealed him to be quite the ”sly fox.”

Master Yun nodded slightly; his gaze pierced through the crowd, staring straight at Ling Feng. In a flash, as though crossing through spacetime, he appeared right in front of Ling Feng. Where he’d previously stood, a lingering afterimage remained, refusing to disperse.

Aside from being an Alchemy Grandmaster, Yun Danqing’s cultivation had obviously reached a transcendent state.

He was probably not far from Yan Cangtian’s level.

”Young man, the words you spoke earlier were quite good,” Yun Danqing said, his face rarely showing a hint of a smile, ”The identity of an Alchemist should be a matter of honor, not a show-off! It seems, young man, that you are also an Alchemist.”

Yun Danqing examined Ling Feng, his eyes gradually revealing a hint of surprise, ”It appears that your Alchemy Dao accomplishments are indeed not weak.”

”You flatter me, Senior,” Ling Feng bowed to Yun Danqing, offering the same respectful treatment he received from others.

”May I ask for your name, young friend, and who your teacher is?” Yun Danqing asked warmly.

”I am Ling Feng, merely an unknown small fry.”

”Ling Feng!” A name flashed through Yun Danqing’s mind, followed by an expression of incredulity; he then circled around Ling Feng twice, looking astonished as he said, ”You are Ling Feng!”

At those words, all the younger members of the Deng family and their teachers were astounded.

How could it be that Master Yun seemed to recognize that young upstart?

Ling Feng himself was startled, it seemed that he had never had any dealings with this Master Yun before!

But what he did not know was that Master Yun had long ”admired” the great reputation of Ling Feng.

The first time was at the Cangqiong Sect when he refined the Evil Origin Pill for Yuan Qianshen, Yun Danqing had already heard the name of Ling Feng and had always wanted to find an opportunity to ”meet” this mysterious expert!

The second time was at the Alchemy Master Guild, when Yan Cangtian brought over the Elixir Recipe for the Azure Cloud Pattern Elixir, and he learned from Yan Cangtian that the recipe had come from Ling Feng.

It could be said that Yun Danqing had never been so eager to meet someone, and this person was, ironically, a junior!

”Elder, do we know each other?” Ling Feng looked at Master Yun, who was circling around him, full of suspicion.

Deng Xian also came over at this point, asking somewhat strangely, ”Brother Yun, you know this kid too?”

”You can’t really say we know each other, I’ve just heard of his name for a long time.” Yun Danqing took a deep breath and actually bowed to Ling Feng, ”Young Friend Ling Feng, I’ve long admired your great name, and today I’m finally fortunate enough to meet you!”

Long admired your great name!!!

This scene petrified everyone, and their eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets.

Heavens above, earth below!

What is going on with the world?

The legendary figure in the Alchemist World, Yun Danqing, was actually bowing to a young brat!

Ling Feng’s mouth twitched slightly, he was somewhat confused himself.

What had he done? Why was Master Yun so ’familiar’ with him?

It seemed like he had always kept a very low profile, very low profile indeed!

Deng Yongshi stared at Ling Feng, utterly dumbfounded. This stinky brat, no, Teacher Ling Feng, was he really that amazing?

As for that Lee Rong, her face was ashen, her expression bleak.

Great! She had tried her best to make Deng Yongshi lose face and feel ashamed, but what about now?

The surrounding Deng Family Disciples all looked at Deng Yongshi with envy. Their teacher was so incredibly cool!

And her own teacher, a Fifth-rank Alchemist, had now become a joke, lurking in a corner, unable to utter a single word!

Damn it!

Lee Rong clenched her fists tightly, why did all the good things belong to Deng Yongshi! Even a good teacher!

Among those present, only General Deng might have guessed some of the reasons behind this, as Ling Feng was Yan Cangtian’s ”student,” and Yan Cangtian’s mastery in the Alchemy Dao couldn’t be much less than that of Yun Danqing. Thus, it seemed Ling Feng must have received the true teachings of Yan Cangtian.

Little did he know that Ling Feng’s level in Alchemy was actually a notch above that of Yan Cangtian! It was only due to the limitations of his True Qi Cultivation that he couldn’t refine elixirs that were too high-level.

”Hehe...” Ling Feng pursed his lips and offered a sheepish smile, ”Elder, I’m a bit confused about the situation!”

”I’ll just mention two elixirs, and you should understand the reason behind all this,” Yun Danqing said with a faint smile. ”The Evil Origin Pill from the Cangqiong Sect and the Azure Cloud Pattern Elixir you gave to Yan Cangtian, how about it, do you understand now?”

”This...” Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched, ”Elder, how could you know about this?”

”Let’s just say it’s all a fortunate coincidence!” Yun Danqing laughed heartily, ”However, Yan Cangtian indeed has gained a good disciple! I’m quite envious indeed!”

Ling Feng pursed his lips, it seemed Master Yun believed that his alchemy skills were all taught by Yan Cangtian. However, there was no need for him to explain, and he simply offered a faint smile. Master Yun’s appearance was actually well-timed, otherwise, if he wanted to help Deng Yongshi regain some face, he would probably have to show his hand.
