Chapter 2108 - 2109: Kongming Divine Race!

"I guess so."

Ling Feng nodded. Martial artists venture far and wide seeking opportunities and encountering some strange happenings isn’t that unusual.

Another round of small talk...

Tao Hong felt a bit speechless inside. His words had already hinted to a certain extent, hoping that Ling Feng would voluntarily ask to become his apprentice.

Yet Ling Feng seemed completely oblivious.

This guy, can’t he take a hint?

Does he expect a grand Alchemy Master like me to ask him to be my disciple?

Do I have no dignity?

Ling Feng, naturally, wasn’t a fool and understood Tao Hong’s little thoughts.

However, despite Tao Hong being decent, Ling Feng didn’t really regard him highly.

Not even an Elixir Saint, and you want to be my Alchemy teacher?

You wish!

The subsequent topics were filled with Tao Hong’s endless hints, but Ling Feng didn’t pick up on them.

Intentionally or not, Ling Feng finally got a piece of information from Tao Hong that intrigued him greatly.

That was, the outsiders!

Apparently, in some of the stories Tao Hong narrated, he mentioned elixir recipes from outside.

In other words, among the circles of high-level martial artists on the Milo Continent, some people knew about things from the outside world.

Ling Feng had previously probed Lio Yunyan and others to understand whether there were any pathways connecting the Milo Continent and the outside world, but they seemed completely unaware of what Ling Feng meant.

They were like frogs at the bottom of a well, believing that the Milo Continent was the entire world.

But in the conversation with Tao Hong, Ling Feng finally got this exciting news.

He couldn’t stay in the Milo Continent forever. Eventually, he had to go back.

The higher-ups of the Pure Yang Palace clearly knew something about the outside world.

Whether it’s to lift the sealing within himself or to return to the outside world, he must make a trip to the Pure Yang Palace.

Ling Feng took a deep breath, striving to remain calm, with a serene face, he said, "Elder, you really are knowledgeable! I, too, have seen some vague descriptions about the outside world in an ancient book. I never realized that outside the Milo Continent, another world exists. It’s truly astonishing!"

"What’s so strange about that."

Tao Hong laughed lightly, "The Milo Continent is essentially a shattered space plane; generally speaking, it’s relatively isolated from the outside world, and we rarely have contact with outsiders."

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng raised his hand to touch his nose; relatively isolated means not completely isolated.

That means he could still find a way back!

Upon thinking this, Ling Feng’s eyes lit up, showing a hint of joy.

"You seem very interested in the outside world?" Tao Hong slightly curiously scrutinized Ling Feng.

"I’m just interested in external alchemy skills."

Ling Feng quickly made up an excuse, "As an alchemist, of course, I’d like to learn more alchemy skills and more elixir recipes, right?"

"Indeed."

Tao Hong nodded slightly, "Unfortunately, the method for communicating with the outside is mastered by a mysterious powerful group named the Kongming Divine Race. Those fellows think very highly of themselves. Trying to get through them to the outside world wouldn’t be easy."

"Kongming Divine Race?"

Ling Feng secretly noted this term in his heart. As expected, even within the Milo Continent, there are divine races.

If he were to return to the outside world, it seems inevitable to deal with the divine race.

"Alright, these matters are still too distant for you."

Tao Hong’s gaze fell back onto Ling Feng, slowly saying, "Actually, the Elixir King’s event is to some extent also our Pure Yang Palace’s way of selecting outstanding talents. Since you’ve won the Elixir King’s event, it means you’ve gained our Pure Yang Palace’s recognition. As long as you agree, you can become a disciple of the Pure Yang Palace from now on. So, are you willing to join the Pure Yang Palace?"

"This junior is willing!"

Ling Feng nodded; he must join the Pure Yang Palace.

Although, he can’t stay dedicated to being a Pure Yang Palace disciple forever, after all, he plans to escape later and doesn’t care what the Pure Yang Palace people think.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Tao Hong stroked his long beard, laughing heartily, "Good boy, you should keep this token well!"

Or perhaps Tao Hong took out a token with an ancient pill furnace on one side and a long sword on the other, saying faintly, "This is proof of the championship at the Elixir King’s event. With this token, you can directly redeem a ninth-level elixir recipe!"

"Great stuff!"

Ling Feng put it away carefully, bowing once more to Tao Hong.

Tao Hong nodded, smiling, "Our Pure Yang Palace is divided into the Elixir Sect and the Sword Sect, both the Alchemy Dao and the Sword Dao are extraordinary!"

Saying this, a hint of excitement flashed in Tao Hong’s eyes; he took a deep breath and said, "Your foundation in alchemy is very solid, even the old me can’t compare, and your talent in alchemy is exceptionally high. Have you ever considered going further on the path of alchemy, becoming a highly respected grandmaster?"

"Haha, I’ll leave future matters to the future."

Ling Feng laughed lightly, casually dismissing the question.

But this answer almost made the filled-with-expectations Tao Hong spit blood.

This guy, what on earth is he thinking? He lacks ambition!
