Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 216: Chapter 215: Alarming the Lingyun Sect

The voice of Pill King Yuan Feng entered Ling Fei’s ears, shaking him inwardly.

Before Ling Fei could give it much thought, a light flickered before his eyes, and an elder in a cyan Daoist robe appeared in the Void above.

The elder had a long beard, white eyebrows, and the air of an immortal sage. He pointed a finger through the air, aimed directly at the projection of Ling Fei that had manifested within the world inside the furnace.

From the outside, a rainbow-like Light Pattern could be seen sinking into the space between Ling Fei’s eyebrows.

Then, he froze completely.

”This...” Nearby, Steward Fang was completely stunned.

As a Celestial Pill Realm Cultivator, he saw at a glance the rainbow-like Light Pattern emerging from the Alchemy Furnace and sinking into Ling Fei’s head.

This bizarre phenomenon left him reeling in shock.

”Wh-what... What’s happening?” The remaining guard at the mountain gate was also filled with astonishment.

A closer look revealed the hundred-foot-tall Alchemy Furnace ahead flickering with Light Patterns, unleashing a radiance that shot straight to the heavens.

The Light Patterns manifested as a gigantic furnace floating in the air.

Upon this furnace, cyan flames flickered, dazzlingly bright.

A vast ripple of energy swept out in all directions, and it could be clearly felt for hundreds of miles around Medicine Peak.

”What’s happening?” Instantly, the Cultivators of the Lingyun Sect were all filled with astonishment.

”An Alchemy Furnace?!” The Eighth Prince and his retinue, who had been flying away, also sensed the fluctuation.

On a mountain peak, Li Yufeng and the others were also drawn by the fluctuation.

”It seems to be coming from Medicine Peak!” said Wang Yuyang.

”What’s going on? Don’t tell me Medicine Peak’s Peak Master activated some Supreme Treasure just because Ling Fei came for a test?” Li Yufeng’s brows knitted tightly.

This sudden burst of energy made him uneasy.

...

「At Medicine Peak.」

’That’s the aura of the Pill King Cauldron!’

On the main peak, in a secluded chamber, an old man in an Alchemy Robe suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes.

’Who triggered the Pill King Furnace?’ A glint flashed in his eyes as his Divine Sense followed the fluctuations, arriving at the mountain gate of Medicine Peak.

’It’s a young boy. But... hasn’t Medicine Peak’s disciple recruitment ceremony already ended?’ The old man was filled with doubt.

Just then, in a great hall on a side peak, another elder also cast his gaze in this direction.

Inside the hall, a young man had just arrived to make a report.

This young man was none other than the guard from the mountain gate.

And this elder was the Vice Peak Master of Medicine Peak, Fang Youwei.

’Could this boy be Ling Fei?’ As his perception reached the scene, Fang Youwei’s face filled with astonishment. ’He actually triggered the Pill King Cauldron!’

’I never thought he possessed such talent!’

He then strode forward, transforming into a streak of rainbow light and flying toward the mountain gate below.

As he flew down, he spotted the old man in the Alchemy Robe.

”Master!” Fang Youwei hurriedly bowed to the old man in greeting.

This old man was none other than the Peak Master of Medicine Peak, known by the revered title of Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun.

”Come, let’s go see that boy!” Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun said, his kind face beaming with joy.

”Yes!” Fang Youwei nodded immediately and headed for the mountain gate with him.

Meanwhile, more and more people on Medicine Peak were startled by the commotion and began flying toward the source.

It wasn’t just Medicine Peak; even in the depths of the Lingyun Sect, some Elders who had been in seclusion for years were also disturbed.

As they opened their eyes and sensed the aura, stream after stream of Divine Sense began probing the area.

”Pill Qi transforming into a cauldron, cyan flames rocketing to the heavens... The Pill King Cauldron has been activated!”

”It’s been a thousand years since anyone in our Lingyun Sect activated the Pill King Cauldron!”

A nostalgic look appeared in the eyes of many of the secluded Elders.

”Come, let’s go see this junior!” Instantly, one Elder after another emerged from seclusion, striding out and appearing in the vicinity of Medicine Peak in the blink of an eye.

”That’s the Sect Leader! The Sect Leader actually came out!”

”And Supreme Elder Fang Zhijing!”

”Heavens! Even they were disturbed. What in the world is happening?”

The appearance of these Elders immediately sent the Lingyun Sect into an uproar.

These Elders rarely ever appeared together!

”The Peak Masters of the five veins—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—have also appeared!”

”And the Peak Masters of the Martial Vein and the Body Vein!”

In an instant, all seven Peak Masters of the Lingyun Sect were heading toward Medicine Peak.

”Come on, let’s go take a look too,” Li Qinghou said, exchanging a glance with Li Yufeng.

”Alright!” Li Yufeng nodded.

”We’ll go take a look as well.” The Eighth Prince, who had been about to return to his Cultivation Land, couldn’t help but turn back and fly toward Medicine Peak.

In that moment, countless streaks of rainbow light shot across the sky within the Lingyun Sect, all converging on Medicine Peak.

「At the entrance to Medicine Peak.」

Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun strode out, appearing in the Void above the mountain gate before gracefully floating to the ground.

Seeing this, Steward Fang, who was beside Ling Fei, hurried forward to pay his respects.

However, Yuan Chun the Pill Master waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for such formalities.

Then, he and Fang Youwei both fixed their gazes on Ling Fei.

At this moment, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit was still immersed within the Pill King Cauldron.

Within the cauldron, rainbow-like Light Patterns were sinking into his mind.

He looked for all the world as if he were receiving an inheritance.

’I must seal this area and not let anyone disturb him.’ With a flicker in his eyes, Yuan Chun the Pill Master took out a Supreme Treasure.

This Supreme Treasure was a cauldron. With a flash of Light Patterns, it levitated into the air, transforming into a colossal cauldron that completely enveloped the mountain gate area.

Light Patterns cascaded down from it, shrouding both Ling Fei and the massive cauldron, preventing anyone from disturbing him.

Thus, outsiders could no longer perceive what was happening within.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Figures flickered as several sect Elders flew to the location.

”Senior Brother!” Several old men landed, clasped their hands in a fist-and-palm salute toward Master Yuan Chun, and asked, ”How is it?”

”The boy is receiving the ancestor’s inheritance. As for the outcome, we will have to wait and see,” Master Yuan Chun said simply.

”I hope he can obtain the ancestor’s inheritance.”

”If he can obtain the ancestor’s complete inheritance, our Lingyun Sect might finally produce an Alchemy Grandmaster,” Fang Youwei murmured.

”If a Grandmaster emerges, our Lingyun Sect will surely restore its former glory.” A fiery light burned in Elder Sect Leader Yuan’s old eyes.

The Elders beside him were also filled with anticipation.

”The complete inheritance... that is too difficult. An ordinary person’s Divine Soul cannot possibly withstand such Mystical truths!” said Master Yuan Chun.

”And this boy is...?” everyone asked, turning their gaze.

”His name is Ling Fei. He’s from the Great Tang Empire!” Steward Fang said to the sect’s Elders.

He seemed a bit nervous at that moment.

In all his years, this was the first time he had ever spoken at such close quarters with so many of the sect’s powerhouses!

Every one of these individuals possessed vast Divine Techniques. They were the top-tier experts of the Lingyun Sect, with few rivals even in the Southern Wilderness.

”So he’s that genius from the Great Tang Empire, Ling Fei?” Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.

’I never expected him to have this kind of talent as well.’ The Peak Masters of the Five Elements Peak were all taken aback.

They had also heard about some of the recent events in the Great Tang Empire.

After all, it was exceedingly strange for someone who could contend with the Great Tang Emperor to appear in a place like that, so their curiosity was piqued.

Therefore, these Elders had naturally looked into Ling Fei’s background a little.

Originally, the Peak Master of Water Essence Peak had wanted Ling Fei to join their lineage and cultivate the Cold Dao Mystical.

The Peak Master of the Body Vein was also interested in accepting Ling Fei to cultivate their vein’s Physical Technique.

But now, it seemed it would be rather difficult for them to recruit this boy into their own lineages. After all, the Ling Fei of today clearly possessed a talent for Alchemy!
