With Yu Feng’s eyesight, he could not determine the location of the array node. Bai Hongtu had informed him about it.
“Senior Sister, look, isn’t it beautiful?” Yu Feng went to Sister Wu Lian’s courtyard and presented her with a pair of heart lotus flowers.
“Such a beautiful lotus. Is it for me?” Sister Wu Lian’s face beamed at the sight of the lotus flower as her smile quickened Yu Feng’s heartbeat.
“For you, Senior Sister,” Yu Feng handed the lotus to Sister Wu Lian.
“Thank you.”
Jiang Li, witnessing this scene, daringly speculated that Yu Feng’s feelings for Sister Wu Lian went beyond mere admiration.
Sister Wu Lian, being his senior, felt awkward about accepting Yu Feng’s gift without giving anything in return.
“Is there anything you want? I can gift it to you.”
Yu Feng’s eyes lit up: “Do you have a Pill Furnace? I want to perform alchemy.”
Yu Feng had always relied on the hearth for alchemy. Although the effects were the same as using a Pill Furnace, he always felt like a cook rather than a Pill Master.
Jiang Li shook his head discreetly. Too much emphasis was placed on form. Monks should have the ability to look at the essence through the phenomenon, regardless if it’s a hearth or a Pill Furnace. As long as they can perform alchemy, it’s a good tool.
Like him, whether he’s using his fists or the Sky Desolate Halberd, he doesn’t care about formality as long as he can win.
“Shouldn’t I check on the Sky Desolate Halberd?” Jiang Li felt it had been a while since he saw his weapon.
“Wait a moment, let me look for it.” After rummaging through her Storage Ring, Wu Lian brought out a petite Pill Furnace.
“I bought it to make sugar beans, but found out my talent is not there. I haven’t used it for a while. Take it.” She handed the Pill Furnace to Yu Feng.
Yu Feng discreetly noted that his senior sister loves eating sugar, something he didn’t know before. Quite a takeaway.
“Fourth Senior Brother, are you practicing martial arts?”
The fourth senior brother was shirtless, practicing his boxing under the sun. He hadn’t made much progress in the path of talismanic arts. To survive in the Ancient World, he needed to have a decent skill.
The fourth senior brother chose martial arts.
He believed that the body is the foundation. Only when it is strong is there hope for survival.
However, Yu Feng knew the real reason why the fourth senior brother chose to practice martial arts.
The fourth senior brother was a meticulous person who didn’t trust anyone but himself.
His choice to practice martial arts was because it could enhance his perception and make him more responsive.
Jiang Li noted that even before Yu Feng came over, the fourth senior brother, using the vibrations on the ground and his hearing, sensed Yu Feng’s arrival and stopped to catch his breath.
It was precisely because he didn’t trust others, that he wanted to keep everything in his own hands.
The fourth senior brother really cared about Yu Feng. He indirectly got information from Daoist Same Dust that Yu Feng had cultivated a cultivation technique that could sense misfortune and fortune, which greatly intrigued him.
The fourth senior brother believed that if he mastered this technique, he could have the upper hand.
He must get it from Yu Feng.
“Senior Brother, do you know what a Ghost Face Flower is?” Yu Feng scratched his head and asked awkwardly.
“Ghost Face Flower?” The fourth senior brother repeated, he knew the fifth had it, but didn’t directly tell Yu Feng.
“Yes, I got a pill formula that could enhance the spirit platform. But I’m not familiar with the ghost face flower mentioned in it.”
Enhance the spirit platform?
The fourth senior brother was moved. Only those at the Nascent Soul Stage could begin cultivating their spirit platform. If it could be cultivated ahead of time, it would be a great opportunity.
“I haven’t told anyone about this, only you, Fourth Senior Brother. You absolutely must not disclose it”, said Yu Feng, nervously.
“Rest assured, my lips are sealed. Leave finding the Ghost Face Flower to me.” The Fourth Senior Brother assured, patting his chest. He meant it. He would never share such good things with others.
The best scenario would be if even Yu Feng remained unaware.
And there is only one way to keep Yu Feng in the dark… The Fourth Senior Brother could feel the killing intent rising but remembered he hadn’t got the cultivation technique from Yu Feng yet and suppressed the urge to kill.
The Fourth Senior Brother reflected that the matter of the pill was of great importance. Yu Feng didn’t tell his master, nor Sister Wu Lian, but told him who he only met once. He didn’t believe that Yu Feng was so magnanimous.
“It seems that junior brother’s cultivation technique is indeed capable of turning misfortune into good luck”
Originally, the fourth senior brother doubted the authenticity of the cultivation technique. He wondered how there could be such a miraculous cultivation technique. Now, he believed it to a great extent.
He could have killed but he didn’t, and the cultivation technique didn’t give warning. This was evidence.
“Should I prepare myself to defend against the fourth senior brother’s attack?” Yu Feng returned to the room, somewhat worried.
Jiang Li made up a pill formula, told the fourth senior brother, and used the fourth brother to destroy the spirit plant array of the fifth brother.
Based on his extensive experience with death, Yu Feng understood that such a method was dangerous as the fourth senior brother might kill for greed.
Jiang Li laughed: “There’s no need to worry. He won’t make a move on you before he gets your cultivation technique.”
“Cultivation technique?” At first, Yu Feng thought he was talking about the “Heart of Seven Apertures”, then he realized that he was referring to the fabricated cultivation technique that can predict the future and sense good and bad fortune.
“It’s not entirely fabricated. In fact, there really is such a cultivation technique in the world.”
Yu Feng’s eyes lit up; it really exists?
“There is a power in the Kyushu world called the Sky Mechanism Tower. Their cultivation technique can sense fortune and misfortune, and turn… perhaps turn misfortune… ”
Jiang Li was about to say that it could turn misfortune into good luck, but changed his words at the last moment. He remembered that the master of Sky Mechanism Tower, Heavenly Destiny, was brutally beaten by four men at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. He did indeed sense the advent of a great disaster but failed to avert it.
“I have the entire material of the cultivation technique on hand, but I don’t suggest you learn it.”
“Why?” Yu Feng was confused. Wasn’t this cultivation technique the most suitable for him?
“You were struck by a Celestial Meteorite. Would you survive without me? Sensing misfortune and fortune doesn’t mean one can avoid calamity.”
Upon reflection, Yu Feng realized he indeed wouldn’t be able to avoid calamity just by being able to sense it. He would not survive his unfortunate luck without dying a few times.
It’s only because he has Jiang Li now, whose Divine Sense covers a vast range and can calculate all danger in advance, allowing Yu Feng to survive.
Without Jiang Li, Yu Feng might have died countless times by now.
“Prepare to refine the Primordial Essence Pill.”
Yu Feng was eager to use the Pill Furnace, but as soon as he lit the fire, he realized he didn’t know how to use it to refine the pill.
To be precise, he had not learned how to use the Pill Furnace to refine pills in the Kyushu world.
Awkward.
“Bai Hong, help me contact the Red Crow Furnace… What are you doing?”
Jiang Li was calling for Bai Hongtu, only to find that he was using the Five Elements Escape Technique, moving under the ground, followed by Immortal ChangCun.
“I was inspired to lay out an unparalleled formation in the Kyushu using Spirit Plants, making the Peach Fairy Tree the array node. I spoke to the people of Red Dust about this, but they firmly rejected the idea. I wanted to enter, but they didn’t allow me. I don’t know why they let you in.”
“I thought it would be better to negotiate directly with the Peach Fairy Tree. But Red Dust has a Sect Protection Array, so I thought of using the Five Elements Escape Technique to bypass it.”
“Immortal…” Jiang Li stared at Immortal ChangCun in the back in silence. Is this the reliable Immortal?
Immortal ChangCun felt uncomfortable under Jiang Li’s gaze and quickly explained: “Aren’t I following Hongtu, in case he causes trouble?”
Jiang Li thought to himself: I don’t believe you. You must be thinking about the fairy of the Red Dust and wanted to sneak in and have a look.
“Hurry up and come out. The Red Dust’s Sect Protection Array is spherical in shape, with defenses underground as well. If you are caught, it’s the Dao Sect that will get embarrassed.”
“Oh.”
The two returned dejectedly.
