The Art of Chaotic Divinity - Chapter 279: The Flora Ring!
Chapter 279: The Flora Ring!
The night fell deeper.
The appointed three days had passed, and Yan Cangtian arrived as scheduled.
With a gentle breeze, Yan Cangtian silently and swiftly appeared in Ling Feng’s room.
“Hehe, Kid, you finally came back!”
Yan Cangtian grabbed Ling Feng’s shoulder, lifted him up, and flew out of the Tianshu East Court without a sound.
He arrived and departed without a trace.
In no time, the two landed outside the medicinal herb garden.
Yan Cangtian seemed to be in a good mood, so Ling Feng wondered what progress he had made since pulling out a few strands of donkey hair last time.
“Come on, I’m in high spirits tonight. Let’s continue refining the next medicinal pill!” Yan Cangtian grabbed Ling Feng’s arm and led him into the main hall.
“Wait a moment.”
Ling Feng followed him for a few steps before remembering something and hastily said, “Elder Yan, can I transplant a celestial fruit plant into your medicinal herb garden?”
“Oh?” Yan Cangtian glanced at Ling Feng with curiosity. “It seems like you’ve found something good in the Tianwei Mountain Range.”
“Yes, indeed.”
Ling Feng smiled faintly and said slowly, “Elder Yan, your medicinal herb garden has various climates and spiritual energy arrays. I wonder if there’s an environment that simulates a damp atmosphere with a temperature difference of around thirty degrees between day and night.”
“Such an environment is not common, but with a little adjustment, I can create it.”
Yan Cangtian stroked his long beard, looking at Ling Feng with interest. “Hurry up, let me see what treasure you’ve found.”
Ling Feng didn’t prolong the suspense. He opened his storage spirit ring, and a stout purple vine slowly emerged from the spatial confines of it.
Along with the soil and roots, everything was intact.
However, after staying in the storage spirit ring for a few days, the roots of the purple vine had begun to wither.
“Purple Creation Fruit!”
Yan Cangtian, being a grandmaster in pill formulas, naturally wouldn’t fail to recognize such a rare treasure of the world.
“Good kid, your luck is truly extraordinary!” Yan Cangtian carefully examined the purple vine, feeling a pang of heartache after looking at the somewhat withered appearance of the fruit at the top.
“You ignorant boy, how could you just throw such a good thing into the storage spirit ring?”
Yan Cangtian gently stroked the purple vine, and then quickly took out some spirit liquid for nurturing rare plants, dripping it onto the leaves. Only then did the somewhat withered purple vine emit a hint of vitality.
“Elder Yan, it’s not my fault. I really had nothing else to store this Purple Creation Fruit in.” Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Sigh. Fortunately, it hasn’t been too long. Otherwise, it would have been a real waste.”
Yan Cangtian reproached Ling Feng with a glance, and then carefully sprayed some spirit liquid on the purple vine. Afterward, he turned to Ling Feng, thought for a moment, and took out a ring, tossing it to Ling Feng. He then said lightly, “This is a Flora Ring which is also a spatial storage system, but more suitable for storing fresh plants and living creatures. It’s much more precious than the storage spirit ring.
“From now on, if you have any rare plants, don’t ever throw them into the storage spirit ring for me. That’s just too foolish!”
With that, Yan Cangtian took the purple vine and went to find suitable soil for the Purple Creation Fruit. He was busy and content.
This guy was obsessed with alchemy, so he naturally treasured rare treasures of the world like the Purple Creation Fruit.
Ling Feng held the Flora Ring in his hand and was unable to help shaking his head. A senior is indeed a senior, generous and extravagant in his actions!
After busying themselves for a while, Ling Feng and Yan Cangtian finally managed to transplant the Purple Creation Fruit into the medicinal herb garden. According to its growth, it wouldn’t take more than a year or two for the Purple Creation Fruit to fully mature.
When the time came, with two alchemy grandmasters like Ling Feng and Yan Cangtian here, they could definitely fully unleash the maximum medicinal effect of the Purple Creation Fruit.
Pat! Pat! Pat!
Yan Cangtian patted the soil off his body and then dug a small hole in front of the Purple Creation Vine, burying a jade bottle in it while chuckling. “This way, we can collect Purple Spirit Liquid from the vine in the future. Hahaha…”
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. This old monster had lived for decades and was well aware of all the characteristics of the Purple Creation Fruit.
“Oh, right…” Ling Feng took out ten bottles of Purple Spirit Liquid and handed them to Yan Cangtian, saying, “Elder Yan, this is the Purple Spirit Liquid I’ve collected. Take these.”
“No need for that.” Yan Cangtian stroked his beard. “For you, the Purple Spirit Liquid can enhance your true qi. As for me, it’s just fine wine. You keep it. Anyway, the Purple Creation Vine is here with me, so there’s no need to worry about lacking Purple Spirit Liquid in the future.”
“Okay.” Ling Feng nodded and put away the Purple Spirit Liquid.
With Yan Cangtian’s cultivation level, these small bottles of Purple Spirit Liquid were indeed insignificant.
“All right, let’s go refine some pills. Today, I’ve prepared a prescription for the Black and White Rhino Pill. Help me check if I’ve made any mistakes.” Yan Cangtian rubbed his hands, looking somewhat impatient.
“Sigh…” Ling Feng sighed softly, hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Yan Cangtian about the vice-director’s alteration of his grades.
Although exposing his relationship with the Cangqiong Sect could also solve the problem, it might also reveal the fact that the sect leader of the Cangqiong Sect was seriously ill.
After careful consideration, at this moment, Yan Cangtian seemed to be the more trustworthy option.
“You’ve been absent-minded all night. If you have something to say, just say it directly. It’s not like you to be so hesitant and evasive!”
Yan Cangtian was shrewd; seeing Ling Feng’s hesitant expression, he could easily guess that something was on his mind.
“Okay, Elder Yan, there is indeed something I need your help with,” Ling Feng said, gritting his teeth.
“Speak up, speak up! I’ve said it before, but you are under my protection, Ling Feng!”
Yan Cangtian waved his sleeves, exuding an aura of natural dominance.
With his strength and status, he could make the entire empire tremble with just a stomp of his foot.
Though he had been silent for twenty years, Yan Cangtian was still Yan Cangtian!
“This matter concerns my performance and final ranking in the Hunting Competition.” Ling Feng explained succinctly, laying out the situation. In no time, he recounted the whole story truthfully.
“Well done! What a vice-director, daring to play such tricks at Tianwei Academy!”
Yan Cangtian’s aura surged wildly, pressing down on Ling Feng so heavily that he could hardly catch his breath.
If the aura of the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python was like the vastness of the sea, then Yan Cangtian’s aura was like the heavens and earth or the countless stars— immeasurable!
With the power of a half-step emperor, he had reached an unfathomable realm.
“Hmph. Tong Chengtai, is it?” Yan Cangtian’s eyes flickered with coldness as he said icily, “Ling Feng, I can solve this matter for you in just half an hour. I’ll let that old rascal know that you, Ling Feng, are under my protection!”
“Wait here for half an hour. Tomorrow, you just have to wait for good news!”
With that, Yan Cangtian’s figure flashed and disappeared directly before Ling Feng’s eyes.
Ling Feng then realized that Yan Cangtian’s speed had reached an incredible level. It seemed that all along, he had been holding back most of his strength!
