The night deepened...
The young men had one by one returned to their rooms to rest, and Ling Feng, as usual, completed his cultivation with the Human Dao Eye. Right on schedule, Yan Cangtian arrived.
Under the treatment of Ling Feng’s Regeneration Gold Needle, the fellow’s spirit was better with each passing day. Although his vision had not fully recovered, at the very least, he no longer confused even the most basic grass roots as before.
A breeze swept past, and Yan Cangtian appeared in Ling Feng’s room. Following the old routine, he grabbed Ling Feng’s shoulder and brought him to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
Soon, Ling Feng had prepared two sets of ingredients to refine the "Fire Marrow Elixir."
This "Fire Marrow Elixir" was also an Ancient Strange Pill recorded in the Medicine King’s Scripture. Ling Feng chose to refine this elixir, in fact, to take advantage of it to directly open the Seventh Meridian.
Moreover, the potency of the Fire Marrow Elixir could also enhance the searing quality of his Earth Fire True Qi, producing a more domineering effect.
"Kid, you seem to have been having quite a fulfilling time these days!" Before the alchemy, Yan Cangtian suddenly turned his head to look at Ling Feng, chuckling with a heh heh.
"Indeed it has been quite fulfilling."
Ling Feng touched his nose bridge, seeing Yan Cangtian staring at him with a mischievous smile, he couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly and asked, "Elder Yan, please speak frankly if there’s something you want to say."
"Tsk, you kid, of course I have good news to tell you!"
Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched, "Good news?"
"Yeah, didn’t I mention to you last time that your Slaughter Sword Intent might find it hard to break through from the Sword Embryo stage? However, I’ve heard that these past few days, the Heavenly Alliance Auction in West Imperial City seems to have obtained some Sword Enlightenment Stones from the Sky Sword Canyon. They could be just what you need to temper your Sword Embryo, and who knows, you might even be able to condense a complete Slaughter Sword Intent."
"Is that true?" Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched again, and he almost jumped on the spot.
The difference between Sword Intent Embryo and Sword Intent, though only half a step apart, was enormous in effect.
This fact became quite apparent to Ling Feng during his last battle with Lee Bufan.
Lee Bufan possessed a complete Sword Intent, so even when confronted with the Overlord of Sword Intents, Slaughter Sword Intent, he was unfazed and even managed to slightly suppress Ling Feng.
This was because his own Sword Intent was merely at the Sword Embryo stage, qualifying only as Half-step Sword Intent.
If he could successfully condense Slaughter Sword Intent, his own strength would climb another notch.
"Heh heh, would I lie to you?" Yan Cangtian raised his eyebrow, "I’m planning to take you to the auction after refining the elixir in a little while!"
"That’s great!" Ling Feng immediately cheered up, but then quickly furrowed his brow again.
Though Sword Enlightenment Stones were desirable, Ling Feng was ironically short on funds...
If only he had known, he would have excavated the Crystal Mine under the Mist Ghost Forest vigorously like that Despicable Donkey, so as not to find himself in a situation now where the lack of money is acutely felt!
Yan Cangtian, being an extremely astute person, could tell from Ling Feng’s expression that he was surely worrying about Crystal Coins.
After all, for a youngster in the Magnetic Condensation Realm to want to bid on "Sword Enlightenment Stones" that even the strong warriors of the Divine Origin Realm and the Divine Sea Realm coveted, was indeed asking too much of him.
Yan Cangtian chuckled with a "heh heh," "Kid, since I brought it up, naturally, there’s a way for you to procure the Sword Enlightenment Stones. Why the long face?"
"Elder Yan, are you perhaps planning to lend Crystal Coins to me?" Ling Feng’s eyes brightened as he looked up at Yan Cangtian.
"There’s no need for lending." Yan Cangtian’s hand flashed with a ghostly light, revealing a Jade Box, smiling mysteriously, "Kid, the ancient elixirs you’ve been refining lately, apart from those used for cultivation, I’ve stored the rest in this Jade Box. With so many ancient elixirs, if you exchange them at the auction for Crystal Coins, even if you buy ten or eight Sword Enlightenment Stones, it will be more than enough!"
Ling Feng then understood Yan Cangtian’s intentions, and promptly gave a formal bow to Yan Cangtian, "Thank you, Elder Yan!"
"No need for thanks. Lately, my condition has been improving, and it seems my cultivation might advance another level, all thanks to you, kid."
Yan Cangtian casually tossed the Jade Box to Ling Feng, then pulled out two cloaks from his Spirit Storage Ring, "Kid, put on the cloak. I don’t want to be recognized by anyone!"
Ling Feng took the Jade Box and cloak, stored the box away, and then put on the large black cloak.
This cloak nearly covered him from head to toe, and the black veil that covered his face was highly translucent, not obstructing his vision at all. In addition to that, it also had a certain ability to conceal his aura.
This cloak was probably also a rare treasure.
"Heh heh, now you don’t need to worry about your identity being exposed."
Yan Cangtian still wanted to continue his ruse of "feigning madness" within the Heavenly Position Academy, naturally not wishing to expose himself easily.
As he spoke, Yan Cangtian grabbed Ling Feng’s shoulder firmly, "Heh heh, it’s been a month since you arrived at Heavenly Position Academy, today I’ll take you to the Heavenly Alliance Auction for a bit of an eye-opener!"
Ling Feng touched his nose again. It was true, in this entire month, he really hadn’t stepped outside the Heavenly Position Academy, so going out for some fresh air wasn’t a bad idea.
Upon leaving the Heavenly Position Academy, Yan Cangtian brought Ling Feng to an incredibly luxurious building.
This was Sky Alliance Commerce.
