The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 314: Utterly Astonishing!

The night was cold and silent.

This was the first time Ling Feng had voluntarily gone to Yan Cangtian's medicinal herb garden.

After obtaining the team member's token for the East Court's sword team, Ling Feng gained access to the core area of Tianwei Academy.

"Elder Yan, are you here?"

Ling Feng, familiar with the place, entered Yan Cangtian's medicinal herb garden. In the alchemy hall, he saw an old man with disheveled hair, deeply pondering over a few dark donkey hairs on the table.

"..."

Ling Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. So Yan Cangtian was still studying the hairs from that despicable donkey!

"Elder Yan, I'm here!"

Ling Feng raised his voice, finally drawing Yan Cangtian's attention.

Yan Cangtian turned and looked at Ling Feng in surprise. "You're back?"

According to their agreement, they were supposed to meet last night. Since Ling Feng hadn't returned by then, Yan Cangtian assumed he was still undergoing the trial in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder and didn't pay much attention outside of that.

Fortunately, Yan Cangtian hadn't gone directly to find Tong Chengtai, or else Tong Chengtai would have suffered unjustly.

Even so, Tong Chengtai had been so frightened that he lost his appetite and sleep for two days and started questioning everything about his life.

A half-step emperor, especially a mad half-step emperor, wielded an incredibly terrifying level of intimidation.

"Mhmm, I just got back."

Seeing Yan Cangtian still focused on the black donkey hairs, Ling Feng realized that Yan Cangtian probably hadn't left the place all day and was likely unaware of his victory over the North Court's second team.

"Sigh..."

Yan Cangtian sighed, feeling frustrated. "To think that I, Yan Cangtian, a dignified sixth-tier peak alchemist, have spent days studying this and still cannot determine the origin of that black donkey."

"It's just a despicable donkey."

Ling Feng shook his head. However, the origins of this despicable donkey were indeed extraordinary.

After all, ordinary donkeys were born naturally, while this despicable donkey, according to the spiritual manifestation of the Tianbai Emperor, hatched from a divine beast egg.

This was indeed unusual, and since it was a so-called divine beast, it was no surprise that Yan Cangtian couldn't figure it out.

"Elder Yan, that despicable donkey might indeed be an enlightened black donkey," Ling Feng said with a smile. "Anyway, I brought you something good this time!"

"Hmm? What is it?"

Yan Cangtian's eyes twitched. "Don't tell me you found the eye of a Scarlet Blood Dragon Eagle in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder? Now that would be something valuable to me. Anything else..."

Yan Cangtian paused before continuing, "I wouldn't be too impressed by."

"I didn't get the eye of a Scarlet Blood Dragon Eagle, but I do have an Azure Cloud Striped Pill. Are you interested?" Ling Feng said with a smile.

"Tch, so no Scarlet Blood Dragon Eagle eye." Yan Cangtian rolled his eyes. Then, he suddenly looked sharply at Ling Feng and gulped. "What did you say? What pill?"

"An Azure Cloud Striped Pill."

"A-A-Azure..."

"Stop stuttering. It's an Azure Cloud Striped Pill. You heard correctly."

Ling Feng opened his spirit storage ring, took out a porcelain bottle, and handed it to Yan Cangtian. "Take a look."

Yan Cangtian reached out and took the porcelain bottle, gently opening the stopper. A rich medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air.

"Gasp!"

Yan Cangtian took a sharp breath. "Indeed, it's a sixth-tier top-grade medicinal pill. Ling Feng, where did you get this?"

"The Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder."

Ling Feng pursed his lips, recalling how he had almost died several times in the tower and still felt a bit shaken.

However, the greatest rewards came with the greatest risks. The benefits he received were far beyond what most people could obtain. This Azure Cloud Striped Pill was just one of them.

"Good lad!"

Yan Cangtian stared at Ling Feng, his eyes filled with gratitude. "The Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder grants one treasured item per level. A sixth-tier top-grade medicinal pill must be a reward from the eighth or even the ninth level, right?

"Kid..."

Yan Cangtian, somewhat emotional, placed his hand on Ling Feng's shoulder and said, deeply moved, "I don't even know what to say! Thank you!"

He was willing to give up other precious rewards to choose a life-saving pill for me.

Yan Cangtian was filled with immense gratitude.

"Uh..." Ling Feng felt a bit embarrassed seeing Yan Cangtian so moved to tears. He hesitated to tell him the truth.

In reality, he was able to take nine different medicinal pills, and this Azure Cloud Striped Pill was just one of them.

"Say no more, Ling Feng. From now on, I'll treat you like my own grandson! My good grandson!"

Yan Cangtian hugged Ling Feng tightly while nearly crying with excitement.

"Pfft..."

Ling Feng felt speechless. While it made sense for Yan Cangtian to be old enough to be his grandfather, hearing 'good grandson' felt a bit odd.

"Elder Yan, you've got it wrong!"

Ling Feng quickly pushed Yan Cangtian away, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Elder Yan, you should know about the hellish difficulty of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder, right?"

"Hellish difficulty?"

Yan Cangtian's pupils dilated in surprise as he looked at Ling Feng. "Brat, what did you say? Hellish difficulty?"

"Yes, the hellish difficulty." Ling Feng nodded and continued, "So, I could actually choose and take nine bottles of sixth-tier top-grade medicinal pills, not just one."

Yan Cangtian's mouth twitched. This is fucking awkward!

What a waste of my emotions!

This is emotional deceit!

An awkward silence followed.

Followed by more silence

It was a long, long silence.

Yan Cangtian gave Ling Feng an aggrieved look, thinking to himself: You should have said so earlier!

"You're talking about the hellish difficulty?"

After the awkwardness passed, Yan Cangtian was overwhelmed with shock.

What a freak!

What a monster!

Yan Cangtian stared at Ling Feng as if he were a freak. "Kid, are you saying you passed the ninth level of the hellish difficulty?"

"Mhmm." Ling Feng nodded.

This was something he couldn't tell others, but he could definitely tell Yan Cangtian.

After all, over the past two months, Ling Feng had come to trust that Yan Cangtian was an upright and honorable senior.

"Gulp."

Yan Cangtian swallowed hard, staring at Ling Feng. His heart was overwhelmed with unparalleled shock and was unable to calm down.

Even throughout the history of the Yijian Sect, only one disciple at Ling Feng’s level had successfully passed the ninth level of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder, and that disciple was known as the Thousand-Year Sword!

Ling Feng was likely the Second Thousand-Year Sword!

"Does that mean you've comprehended the legendary sword will of the ninth level of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder?"

Yan Cangtian gasped in astonishment.

Ling Feng touched his nose. Yan Cangtian, with his deep knowledge, was indeed worthy of his high status in the Tianwei Academy.

He nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I comprehended the sword will of the ninth level of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder. It is called the Reincarnated Sword Will!"
