Holy Academy.
In the undulating mountains surrounded by spiritual force, singing birds and fragrant flowers, single independently standing courtyards were scattered everywhere.
A lean, elderly man came riding on a Double-Faced Griffin of the Academy and landed at the entrance of a small, exquisite courtyard.
He took a step forward, placed his hands on the door, and channelled his mental energy into it.
In the room of the small courtyard, Feng Chen, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating, slowly opening his eyes. His narrow, phoenix-eyes were filled with confusion—why did this person come to find him?
Feng Chen stood up, opened the courtyard door, and said: “This pupil greets Elder Gu.”
Elder Gu said with a gentle smile: “I’m looking for you for something today, is it convenient for you?”
“It’s convenient, please come in Elder Gu.” Feng Chen welcomed Elder Gu in.
After sitting down, Elder Gu looked around and asked with a smile: “You’re not using attendants?”
Most geniuses who came to the Holy Academy to cultivate weren’t good at dealing with the trivial matters of daily life, so they could bring no more than three servants to serve them, or they could apply to the Academy and the Academy would allocate them.
“Mm, I prefer being alone.” Feng Chen handed the brewed tea to Elder Gu.
“I heard that you also accepted the mission to explore Dong’e Ling Mansion?” Elder Gu took Feng Chen’s tea and took a sip, “When will you set off?”
“The agreed time is this afternoon.” Feng Chen thought for a moment, then asked: “Elder Gu has been on Shui Wu Island to judge the tests of the Five Academies, why did you think of coming to my place?”
Not many pupils knew about Elder Gu’s trip to Shui Wu Island, and Feng Chen only found out about it because he had been paying attention to Yu Qing Qian’s news.
“Haha, this old one has also been entrusted with something by someone.” Elder Gu took out a beautiful bracelet and handed it to Feng Chen, “There’s spiritual herbs that little girl Yu wants to give to you, keep it well.”
Feng Chen was startled. He obviously didn’t expect that Yu Qing Qian would ask Elder Gu to deliver something. He took the bracelet, and his cold eyes gradually became softer.
He stroked the bracelet, but didn’t open it in front of Elder Gu, “When will Elder Gu return to Shui Wu Island?”
“I’ll return tonight. There will be an independent competition between the old students and freshmen of the Five Academies. This old one just returned to report something this time.” Elder Gu said with a smile.
Feng Chen nodded faintly, then said politely: “I have also prepared some things for her, so I will have to trouble Elder Gu to bring them back please.”
“You two young ones sure have a really good relationship. This is not a problem.” Elder Gu stood up consciously: “I still have some things to do. Just come to me in my courtyard before you leave.”
He knew that Feng Chen wanted to check the contents of the bracelet, so it naturally wouldn’t be good for him to remain.
Feng Chen had a faint smile on his face, “Yes, thank you Elder Gu!”
After Elder Gu left, Feng Chen rubbed the bracelet, then called out softly, “Qian Qian.”
Then he opened the bracelet using the method only the two knew and removed its contents.
Then, there were many black transparent crystal cores and several wooden boxes carved from seven-coloured divine wood on the table.
As soon as that pile of crystal cores appeared, the Black Datura in Feng Chen’s spiritual plant space suddenly grew active, sending our bursts of desire.
He picked one up and held it in his hand, immediately feeling the mysterious devouring power in the crystal core, and his expression couldn’t help but change.
Right now, an old and deep voice, as if having experienced the vicissitudes of life, sounded in Feng Chen’s sea of consciousness, “That little girl really is nice to you. This is a rare devouring-type magical beast crystal core. After refining it, not only can your Black Datura advance, you will also be able to quickly enter the level of Spirit Emperor.”
