Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 689: Chapter 690: Born Arrogant! (3 more)

Before long, Ling Feng spotted another young man, tall and dressed in a pale golden robe, approaching alone.

This person, holding a golden long spear, exuded an aura like the pillar that holds up the sky, lofty and proud. From start to finish, his eyes did not stray; he strode into the Heavenly Pill Pavilion as if he had not seen Ling Feng and his companions at all.

”Another monster!” Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched slightly. The pressure this person gave him seemed to be even greater than that of Feeng Yan.

However, Feeng Yan normally kept his aura concealed, as if he had returned to a state of simplicity and truth, while this golden-robed man’s domineering presence was on full display, completely different extremes from Feeng Yan.

”It’s unbelievable; there are so many immensely talented individuals from the other empires, even more formidable than Yaan Jinghong.” Yue Yunlan also showed a look of disbelief. Even as the daughter of the Cangqiong Sect Master, the world she had not seen was still incredibly vast.

With his countenance slightly solemn, Ling Feng said, ”The man in the golden robe with the golden spear is probably Murong Wu from the Murong Family, whom Brother Feeng mentioned. Murong Wu’s talent is on par with Brother Feeng’s within the Heavenly Saint Empire. Fortunately, he doesn’t seem interested in us; otherwise...”

Ling Feng secretly broke into a sweat. His own strength was still too weak. Although he had the Shura’s Eye and Chaos Rebirth as trump cards, once activated, he could not control himself and would become a monster that knew only slaughter.

With many companions around, it was not appropriate to use such power.

Moreover, the ability of Chaos Rebirth had been sealed by that entity known as ”Kong” in the Ancient Cave of Time. Even if he wanted to use it, he was powerless.

”I must break through the Hundred Meridian Limit as soon as possible!”

Ling Feng clenched his fists, forcing down the impulse to directly advance to the Origin Transformation Realm.

Directly breaking through would indeed grant him more power immediately, but it would be a complete waste of his talent, destroying his own future just to compete against someone like Yaan Jinghong. Such a foolish act was not something Ling Feng would contemplate.

In his eyes, Yaan Jinghong was merely a stepping stone, continually threatening his life and constantly reminding him that he must keep getting stronger.

Roughly half an hour later, Lee Bufan finally opened his eyes and slowly stood up. Thanks to Ling Feng’s healing and his own breathing regulation, the injuries within his body had largely healed, and it no longer affected his strength much.

”I’m sorry for making you all wait,” said Lee Bufan, casting an apologetic look at everyone with a smile.

”Haha...” Jiang Xiaofan stepped forward with squinted eyes and laughed, ”Brother Lee, you can actually apologize, huh!”

A slight embarassment appeared on Lee Bufan’s face as he turned to Jiang Xiaofan and gratefully said, ”Xiao Fan, about before... Thank you!”

”It’s nothing. I’m tough-skinned after all,” Jiang Xiaofan grinned, showing a row of pearly white teeth.

”Nevertheless, thank you.” Lee Bufan bit his lip, then reverted to his usual icy demeanor.

This guy was truly born with a sense of aloof pride!

”Now that everything is alright, let’s go into the Heavenly Pill Pavilion and see if we can find any top-grade ancient elixirs.”

With a faint smile, Ling Feng, leading his five companions, entered the Heavenly Pill Pavilion together.

Once inside, the group chose one of the forked paths and proceeded together.

It wasn’t long before they found the first Alchemy Room, which seemed to have been left unsearched, with dust and cobwebs throughout. Even the Pill Furnace in the center was covered in cracks, clearly beyond repair.

”Wow, look at all those elixirs on that rack over there!”

Jiang Xiaofan had sharp eyes and immediately rushed in, using his True Qi to blast open the layers upon layers of cobwebs, directly grabbing a bottle of elixir from the Elixir Rack.

However, when he opened the porcelain bottle, a foul stench assaulted his nostrils, and Jiang Xiaofan quickly threw the bottle away, frowning, ”Good heavens, what kind of elixir is this? Is it even edible?”

”Jade Marrow Pill.”

Ling Feng stepped forward, pointed at the label on the Elixir Rack, and said indifferently, ”Originally, this was a Seventh Rank Spirit Pill, considered a top-grade elixir for Body Refining. Unfortunately, it’s been stored for too long and has long since decayed. That unpleasant smell just now was the medicinal properties of the elixir deteriorating into waste gas. However, there might still be a tiny bit of Body Refining effect left.”

Ling Feng touched his nose bridge and added indifferently, ”If you’re not afraid of the risk to your life after taking it, you could try tasting it.”

”Let’s not,” Jiang Xiaofan grinned foolishly, then immediately furrowed his brows, ”That’s wrong though, if all the elixirs here have gone through who knows how many tens of thousands of years, none would be edible, right? Wouldn’t we be wasting our time by coming here?”

”The decay of elixirs is a very real problem. Some elixirs decay in a very short time, even if they were just freshly refined. Thus, how to prevent the loss of the contained spiritual energy is a mandatory course for an Alchemist.”

Ling Feng shook his head, gently tapped on Jiang Xiaofan’s head, ”You guy, didn’t Master Su just teach this not so long ago? Have you forgotten?”

”Er...” Jiang Xiaofan scratched the back of his head, ”I’ve been thinking about the Five Academy Sword Team competition every day, only focused on Cultivation, so about the lessons... Heh heh.”

Ling Feng rolled his eyes at this silly big guy and said indifferently, ”Under normal circumstances, Jade Marrow Pills could be stored for thousands of years, so of course no Alchemist would set up a protective Array for it. However, some more precious elixirs should be protected by some Arrays. Take a good look around.”

”Mhmm.”

Jiang Xiaofan nodded quickly and immediately opened into the big task of clearing the cobwebs again.

Then, the others also started searching around this Elixir Room, looking for any elixirs that might be protected by Arrays.

”Star Essence Pill...”

”Blood Burning Pill...”

”Dragon Marrow Elixir...”

Ling Feng sighed to himself; these elixirs, if taken out for auction, would probably cause those at the King Rank and even the Human Emperor to fight over them. But what a pity, they had all turned to dregs now.

Yet, Ling Feng didn’t mind at all and actually tossed these elixirs into his Spirit Storage Ring.

”Young Master Ling...” Yue Yunlan looked at Ling Feng’s actions with some confusion, ”Why are you collecting these ineffective elixirs? Don’t they have no value anymore?”

”To ordinary Martial Artists, they indeed have no value left. However, I might be able to research the original materials from these decayed elixirs. If I can complete these ancient elixir recipes, that would be the real priceless treasure,” Ling Feng said with a faint smile.

”This...can you really complete them?” Yue Yunlan looked at Ling Feng incredulously. Although she had seen Ling Feng refine elixirs before and his skills were truly magical, even using complete elixirs to reverse-engineer elixir recipes was considered a miracle, let alone those that had lost their spiritual energy.

”Let’s give it a try,” Ling Feng smiled faintly, believing there was still some chance as long as one was willing to experiment on oneself.

Of course, Ling Feng wasn’t without preparation. That day, Wei Wuyan from the Holy Land had given him a Vermilion Ice Worm, which could absorb any toxin. Even if Ling Feng swallowed those Waste Elixirs, he wouldn’t fear the accumulation of Elixir Poison within his body.

Therefore, Ling Feng had the idea of experimenting on himself with the elixirs. Otherwise, without the Vermilion Ice Worm, even if Ling Feng’s Physique was nearly immune to all poisons, he wouldn’t dare to carelessly consume these ”Ancient Waste Elixirs”.

It is known that the higher the rank of Spiritual Medicine, the more terrifying the contained Elixir Poison. Yan Cangtian, who was mad and frenzied, was a living example of this.

At this moment, a surprised shout came from not too far away, followed by a sharp shriek echoing throughout the entire Elixir Room.

The voice turned out to be Black Cat Yee Yi’s cry!
