"Kid, where did you hear about the Divine Desolate Treasure Box?"
Yan Cangtian squinted his eyes, asking with a stern face.
"The Divine Desolate Treasure Box, huh." Ling Feng curled his lips, took the Divine Desolate Treasure Box straight out of the Spirit Storage Ring, and tossed it in front of Yan Cangtian, "Elder Yan, take a look!"
Yan Cangtian was stunned for a moment, but he quickly caught on, his hands shaking violently.
"Div...Div...Div...Divine Desolate Treasure Box?" Yan Cangtian’s mouth convulsed dramatically, his face filled with disbelief.
The Divine Desolate Treasure Box!
That was the stuff of legends! The most recent historical record of it was also from ten thousand years ago!
"Mm-hmm." Ling Feng nodded heavily.
"Is...Is...Is...Is this real?" Yan Cangtian clung to the edge of a nearby desk, which shook violently as well.
Disbelief, disbelief, he still couldn’t believe everything he was seeing before his eyes.
"Mm-hmm!" Ling Feng stared into Yan Cangtian’s eyes, confirming once again with a nod.
"No...No...No...It can’t be!"
Yan Cangtian’s hands trembled fiercely, this legendary thing was actually laid out in front of him, something he wouldn’t dare to dream of!
"Elder Yan, I can very much understand how you’re feeling."
Ling Feng took a deep breath, at first, he had no idea what the Divine Desolate Treasure Box meant, so he wasn’t too surprised by the box itself.
But after he saw Shen Lang’s notes, he felt as if his entire worldview had been reshaped.
This tiny box held the fate leading to the Supreme Immortal Domain!
Yan Cangtian, looking like a rustic suddenly struck by a mountain of gold and a sea of silver, paced restlessly around the Quiet Room. It wasn’t until the sun had set that he finally spoke his first words.
With Yan Cangtian’s status, he didn’t even know how to describe his own feelings, except with the exclamation, "Holy shit!"
Ling Feng’s mouth twitched slightly, not expecting Elder Yan’s mental capacity to be so weak.
If Yan Cangtian knew what Ling Feng was thinking, he would probably be angry enough to fight to the death.
His mental fortitude was weak?
If someone with truly weak nerves had been in his place, they might have been excited to death at first. Afraid that such an important thing would be stolen, they would live in constant fear. And in the end, after exhausting all their life’s efforts, they would gain nothing and die with resentment.
This was the common state of most owners of the Divine Desolate Treasure Box.
Just take that Shen Lang, usually so calm and wise, but for the Divine Desolate Treasure Box, he even dared to dive into the underground magma, ultimately losing his life.
"Put it away, put it away!"
Yan Cangtian exerted all his strength to restrain his inner emotions and gritted his teeth, saying, "Kid, this thing must absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not be taken out again, not even in front of me!"
"Eh..." Ling Feng quickly put away the Divine Desolate Treasure Box, puzzled, he asked, "Why?"
Yan Cangtian, seeing the Divine Desolate Treasure Box being put away by Ling Feng, finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly said, "You little brat, do you know what a big test this is for me? If I didn’t know what the Divine Desolate Treasure Box meant, that would be one thing, but it happens that I once saw an ancient text about it, so I am very clear about the value of this treasure box."
"If I had even a hint of greed, do you realize, you would be lying dead on the spot right now!" Yan Cangtian wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying sternly.
"But I trust Elder Yan!" Ling Feng laughed off, grinning broadly.
"Trust or not, it doesn’t matter!" Yan Cangtian rolled his eyes, warning very seriously, "Kid, this message must not leak out at all, besides me, I hope no one else will know this secret. For every additional person who knows, you face greater danger!"
"Perhaps ordinary people don’t understand what the Divine Desolate Treasure Box is, but those powerhouses who have reached the Human Emperor, Great Emperor levels, in their search for higher opportunities, will, more or less, know from some ancient texts, discover the record of the number one treasure of Xuanling Continent, the Divine Desolate Treasure Box!"
"The number one treasure of Xuanling Continent?"
Ling Feng couldn’t help but gasp, his pupils suddenly shrinking.
"That’s right. Not just the Sky White Empire, but the entire continent! You probably also know, the Sky White Empire is just one country in the Eastern Spirit Domain, while the whole continent is divided into five great regions, the East, South, West, North, and Center, although there is little contact between the great regions, the Divine Desolate Treasure Box is recognized by the Five Great Regions, as the number one treasure!"
Yan Cangtian said with a stern face, "Because, the Immortal Fate within the Divine Desolate Treasure Box is unique to the entire continent!"
Ling Feng’s expression immediately became more solemn; it seemed that he really needed to strictly follow Yan Cangtian’s instructions and must never take the treasure box out in front of others again.
Yan Cangtian rushed frantically to a row of bookshelves next to him, rummaged for a long time, and finally pulled out a thin book, handing it to Ling Feng, he said slowly, "This is some information about the Divine Desolate Treasure Box that I have read before and some records that I found in the Royal Book Collection Pavilion, all compiled together, you can take a look, it should help you research the Divine Desolate Treasure Box."
Ling Feng took the thin booklet, nodded slightly, "Thank you, Elder Yan."
"Alright, go out now."
Yan Cangtian took a deep breath, saying solemnly, "Although unlocking the Divine Desolate Treasure Box is a slim chance, if it’s you, perhaps there really is a glimmer of hope, I will keep an eye out for clues about the Divine Desolate Treasure Box. But before that, I still need some quiet!"
Witnessing this legendary supreme treasure, Yan Cangtian, although he appeared calm on the surface, had long been experiencing a storm in his heart.
"Alright, then I won’t disturb Elder Yan’s cultivation."
Ling Feng nodded, then left Yan Cangtian’s Quiet Room with Tuoba Yan.
However, Ling Feng did not hurry to leave, but went straight to the Alchemy Room, taking out the Elixirs he had brought from the Heavenly Pill Pavilion that had turned into waste slag, preparing to test them.
These Elixirs, basically having no much medicinal power left and accumulating a lot of Elixir Poison, can be said to be harmful rather than beneficial, but Ling Feng hoped to reverse-engineer the Elixir Recipes from these Waste Elixirs.
After all, he had a Vermilion Ice Worm that could absorb all poisons, and there was no need to worry about any poison harming his body.
Thus, Ling Feng could reverse-engineer Pill Master’s recipes and use various Spirit Plants from the Spiritual Medicine Garden for experimentation, repeating the process and trials, the chances of obtaining complete Elixir Recipes were definitely not low.
"Miss Tuoba, I won’t be going back to the Sky Pavilion tonight; behind the yard are guest rooms, you can rest there for the night, I won’t be more than a hundred zhang away from you."
Ling Feng looked up and saw Tuoba Yan had been by his side, he said apologetically.
"That won’t be necessary," Tuoba Yan replied indifferently. "Although I’m not versed in the Alchemy Dao, I do recognize some medicinal herbs, just tell me what you need, and I’ll fetch them for you."
Although Tuoba Yan’s voice was still as cold as ice, this woman took the initiative for the first time to offer her help.
After what happened in the God Demon Battlefield, Tuoba Yan’s mentality seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
"Okay, then I won’t be polite," Ling Feng smiled with narrowed eyes, "Miss Tuoba, your heart isn’t as cold as it seems on the outside, huh."
"Hmph!" Tuoba Yan glared at Ling Feng with annoyance, "It’s just to pass the time. No more nonsense, or the devil may care for you!"
"Heh heh..." Ling Feng shook his head with a smile, "Alright, I won’t say anything more then."
