Chapter 2806: Reunion in Ling City

"Little brother, I really don’t know how to thank you. Our village doesn’t have anything valuable, so please stay a few more days. We’ll cook plenty of food for you." The village chief warmly invited, and the villagers echoed his sentiments, completely at a loss on how to repay Lin Feng for his great kindness.

With a gentle smile, Lin Feng looked at everyone and said, "There’s really no need. I have important matters to attend to. If there’s a chance in the future, I will return to visit you all."

Hearing Lin Feng’s response, the village chief didn’t insist further, and then, he led the entire village to walk Lin Feng to the village entrance, where they waved goodbye to Lin Feng and his companions.

The two men and three beasts walked a distance forward, and Lin Feng turned around to speak to the Purple Feather Abyssal Phoenix, "I promised not to kill you, and I will uphold it. Now go on, don’t do any more bad deeds."

The Purple Feather Abyssal Phoenix looked at Lin Feng, silent for a while, then hesitantly said, "Can I follow you? I can be your steed."

It contemplated for long. Although unaware of Lin Feng’s origins, the fact that even the Dragon Clan could be this human’s demon pet meant this person’s power was beyond its imagination. Following him would undoubtedly bring great benefits.

Upon hearing this, Tangyuan, Xiao Jiu, and Si Hong were all stunned, especially Xiao Jiu; sparing this demon beast’s life only for it to want to be Boss’s mount was bold indeed. Tangyuan was even more dumbfounded, unable to fathom what this big bird was thinking, even volunteering to be a steed.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, not rushing to agree or refuse, but instead considering what the Purple Feather Abyssal Phoenix truly meant. Besides, he indeed needed a mount, which would save Xiao Jiu from constant trouble. With many places still ahead on his route of merit, having the Purple Feather Abyssal Phoenix would be convenient. He nodded in agreement.

Seeing Lin Feng’s consent, the Purple Feather Abyssal Phoenix immediately crouched down and said, "Master, please get on."

Si Hong, Xiao Jiu, and Tangyuan saw Lin Feng had agreed and said no more, following him to jump onto the Purple Feather Abyssal Phoenix’s back. Instantly, a purple light shot skyward, flying towards the distant horizon.

Standing on the Purple Feather Abyssal Phoenix’s back, overlooking the scenery below, Lin Feng felt serene. Suddenly, he realized that cultivation wasn’t about obtaining something but rather about learning along the way. His view of the distant horizon broadened his mind, bringing back the words spoken by the Wuxiang Diviner.

You will be the one to save the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm.

He still didn’t understand the meaning of these words. Although his strength had reached a certain realm, that didn’t mean anything. He already knew there were always greater heights beyond him. In the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, he was quite insignificant, so why did such a heavy responsibility fall upon him?

Earlier, encountering the twelve Divine Emperor skeletons at Wangchuan Cliff taught him what the Force of Merit meant, revealing his own insignificance. To achieve such strength might take a long time, but having chosen this path, he had no reason not to persist.

Seeing Lin Feng continually gazing afar, Si Hong stepped forward, taking Lin Feng’s hand, and asked, "Where are we going next?"

"Ling City." Lin Feng replied with a gentle smile towards Si Hong. Speaking of Ling City brought back memories; Ling City was the city where he stayed the longest in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. In Ling City, he met the Geomancer Qianjue, befriended Tao Tao, and importantly, recruited Gu Tianhai—all of which were his treasured experiences.

Recalling the destiny spoken by Geomancer Qianjue, perhaps his fate had long been arranged, and even every step he took now was destined. He simply needed to do what he had to do.

A few days later, the two men and three beasts finally arrived in Ling City. Standing underneath Ling City’s gates, Lin Feng was filled with emotion, feeling Ling City was perhaps the place he knew best. Then, he led the group directly towards the Holy Pill Pavilion in Ling City.

Upon reaching the Holy Pill Pavilion in Ling City, the staff had all changed. Scanning the surroundings, he realized he recognized none of them. But at this moment, Di Guang was searching for something on the shelves, and Lin Feng, thrilled to see him, approached and said, "Alchemist Di, long time no see."

It had been years since Lin Feng last parted from Ling City with Di Guang. Seeing the Holy Pill Pavilion’s business as prosperous as ever was attributed to Di Guang. During Gu Tianhai’s absence, thanks to Di Guang’s management, handling both the alchemy and reporting all accounts to Gu Tianhai, things were indeed busy.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s familiar voice, Di Guang immediately turned around, and seeing Lin Feng, he excitedly grasped Lin Feng’s hand and said, "Pavilion Master, you have returned."

He didn’t expect Lin Feng to appear in Ling City at this time. Without time for more questions, he immediately welcomed Lin Feng and his group into the backyard, found a quiet place, and asked his wife to prepare some good wine and food. He definitely wanted to have a good chat with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled faintly. Di Guang was still the same as ever. After sitting down with Di Guang, Lin Feng let Tangyuan and Xiao Jiu go off to play. To avoid disturbing Lin Feng and Di Guang’s conversation, Si Hong also wandered alone around the Holy Pill Pavilion.

"Sect Master, how come you have time to come back?" Di Guang asked excitedly, as he hadn’t seen Lin Feng for many years. Gu Tianhai had been in Lin City all this time and rarely returned to Ling City. He and Gu Tianhai were old acquaintances, so Gu Tianhai trusted him deeply and left the Holy Pill Pavilion in his care.

Looking at how Di Guang was still the same, Lin Feng smiled and said, "I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet, but Tianhai is now building the sect, and soon you’ll all be able to come over."

Seeing Di Guang’s expression, Lin Feng shared the good news. Initially, he had planned to only include Meng Jiao in the sect, but later on, he established cooperation with an auction house. This meant there was no need to station any alchemist in the Holy Pill Pavilion. However, as the sect would have more and more members and a growing demand for elixirs, he changed his mind and wanted to have Di Guang and Yao Nan also stationed at the sect.

"Really? That’s great!" Di Guang laughed heartily upon hearing the news. He had been refining elixirs at the Holy Pill Pavilion all these years and hadn’t been in contact with Gu Tianhai. He didn’t expect the Sect Master’s progress to be so rapid, establishing a sect for ascenders within just a few years. He was very pleased to hear this.

However, what concerned him most was the matter of alchemy. All these years, while refining elixirs for the Holy Pill Pavilion, he felt his skill level hadn’t improved much. What he desired most was a chance to discuss alchemy with Lin Feng. But unfortunately, Lin Feng was always so busy. Thinking of this, he asked, "Sect Master, I heard that you have traveled all over the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. Did you gain a lot?"

"Indeed, I gained a lot, but also encountered many dangers. Several times I nearly lost my life, but luckily my fortune was good." Lin Feng replied nonchalantly. He estimated that recounting his experiences could take days and nights.

Hearing this, Di Guang said, "So, what do you need me to do next, Sect Master?"

"For now, just stay at the Holy Pill Pavilion. I’ve agreed with Tianhai on a time of one and a half years. Once the sect is established, I’ll send Ma Biaohu over to get you," Lin Feng answered.

"Alright, I understand. I’ll make arrangements." Di Guang responded immediately. In truth, he had never left Ling City all these years and felt a bit reluctant to leave the Holy Pill Pavilion. Then he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Sect Master, your alchemy skills must have improved significantly now."

This was what he was most concerned about. He recalled the scene when he first met Lin Feng. Back then, he couldn’t have imagined that someone as young as Lin Feng could refine flawless grand quality elixirs. He had admired Lin Feng thoroughly at that time, and after so many years, Lin Feng’s alchemy skills must have advanced further.

Thinking of this, he felt deeply ashamed. Compared to Lin Feng’s talent, he felt he was far behind, and he hadn’t made any progress in his alchemy skills over the years, which was very troubling to him.

Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "I wouldn’t call it progress. I haven’t had much time for alchemy, but I did create a few new elixirs. I’ll write them down for you to try refining."

Previously, when he was in Ling City, everyone got ecstatic just seeing flawless grand quality elixirs. If Di Guang knew now that he could refine elixirs above cosmic grade, he would definitely seize him to seek guidance.

He knew Di Guang’s personality and that his passion for alchemy was unmatched. He certainly wanted Di Guang to make progress, and in the future, when the sect was established, there would be many opportunities. At that time, Di Guang, Yao Nan, and Meng Jiao could spar and learn from each other, given their unimaginable fascination for alchemy.

"Really? That’s great. I’ve been supplying elixirs for the Holy Pill Pavilion all these years and haven’t had time to study alchemy prescriptions. I’m really ashamed of that." Di Guang sighed deeply and said, admitting that, as an alchemist, he hadn’t done well in that regard.

"The Holy Pill Pavilion is certainly busy, and it’s been hard on you indeed." Lin Feng looked at Di Guang apologetically. Although he had provided Di Guang with enough Yuan Stones, and the better the business at the Holy Pill Pavilion, the more share Di Guang would receive, he knew that wasn’t what Di Guang truly wanted. Lin Feng had convinced Di Guang initially not because of the reward. He thought that if he had the chance, he must have a thorough discussion on alchemy with Di Guang to make him happy.

Hearing Lin Feng’s gratitude, Di Guang immediately changed his expression and said, "Sect Master, why are you being polite with me? Tell me about your findings, I want to know."

"On this journey, I found many Spiritual Medicines I had never seen before. Although I found many, I frequently got injured along the way, so all these treasures of nature and the universe were consumed, leaving almost nothing." Lin Feng laughed and then said, "However, I’ve collected a few more types of Heaven and Earth Strange Fire."

Lin Feng’s words truly stunned Di Guang, and he excitedly said, "Then I absolutely must witness the Eternal Divine Flame!"
