Chapter 1384 - 1381: Doing My Best, Young Master Hufeng

"Haitang!"

Luo Feng quickly extended his hand to support Yue Haitang, noticing his unpleasant complexion and slightly frowned, "Are you okay?"

"I’m just exhausted from overusing my Yuan Qi, don’t worry." Yue Haitang shook his head with a weak smile.

"Sit down first."

Luo Feng helped Yue Haitang to a stone chair nearby to sit down.

Yue Haitang placed the qin on the stone table, took a Spirit Pill to restore Yuan Qi, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

"Is it because of last night’s performance?" Luo Feng asked.

Yue Haitang nodded, lightly plucking the strings of Qin Xuan, letting a crisp sound resonate in the air.

"Ordinary play doesn’t consume Yuan Qi. But to translate the music into an intent realm is extremely consuming. The so-called sound skill is using intent realm to fight an opponent."

"I see."

Luo Feng nodded, recalling seeing Su Rui use sound skill at the New Dragon List Tournament, which left a deep impression.

"Do you also use sound skill?" Luo Feng asked.

"Yes and no."

Yue Haitang shook his head, "I just project the intent realm of the music itself, not true sound skill. Qin Hou is the unmatched one in sound skill, her music can manifest invisible intent into form. With a tune, mountains crumble, stars reverse, her power is unparalleled, making even demons tremble in fear back then."

Qin Hou...

Luo Feng was moved, having heard of this name several times, wondering what sort of legendary figure, who single-handedly founded the current prosperity of Out Cloud Country, stands first among the ten Venerables of the sacred land. If he ever enters the sacred land, he must pay her a visit.

This thought flashed by, and Luo Feng gazed at Yue Haitang, suddenly recalling his unusual behavior last night and asked, "Haitang, do you have something on your mind?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Haitang’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise and unease, "Why ask suddenly?"

"You were not quite like your usual self last night."

Luo Feng shook his head, continuing, "If there’s anything you need my help with, feel free to speak. While riches are easy to come by, true friends are rare. You are a friend to me, Luo Feng. Remember that."

Yue Haitang lowered his head slightly, then suddenly looked up at Luo Feng, his eyes bright: "I..."

Luo Feng quietly watched Yue Haitang, waiting for his next words.

Yue Haitang hesitated, biting his lip, then nodded, "I will remember."

"Then rest well, I shall take my leave."

Luo Feng nodded, standing up to leave. He could tell Yue Haitang surely had something on his mind, but he had his reasons for not sharing.

"Luo Feng."

As Luo Feng reached the courtyard gate, Yue Haitang suddenly called out to him, seriously asking, "Will you refuse any request I make?"

Luo Feng pursed his lips, unsure of what Yue Haitang was getting at, and laughed, "Though I’m not sure if I can do it, I will do my best."

"Alright." Yue Haitang nodded gently.

After leaving Yue Haitang’s courtyard, Luo Feng stopped by to check on Jiang Fengfeng.

After taking the Thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma for two consecutive days, her complexion had improved noticeably, even joking about Luo Feng refusing an arranged marriage. However, her words were filled with admiration.

To this, Luo Feng could only smile bitterly. Jiang Fengfeng had high aspirations, appreciating those with greater integrity. Yet his refusal of Chi Wei’s arranged marriage had nothing to do with that.

Bidding farewell to Jiang Fengfeng, Luo Feng returned to the small courtyard where he lived and headed straight for the practice field.

Within the practice field, a two-meter-tall gigantic blood cocoon slowly whirled. As Luo Feng approached, it emitted cracking sounds. Countless cracks appeared on its surface before shattering entirely with a crash. From within, Xuelian emerged, with the heart of the Five-Colored Glazed Toad hovering in front of her, surrounded by a layer of colorful aura.

A gust of wind blew through, dispersing the aura around the heart.

Shh shh shh shh...

An astonishing scene unfolded. Where the colored aura passed, spirit plants around started to grow madly, three-inch-long grass rapidly grew beyond a foot.

"What is this?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.

"Master, this is the Five Elements energy contained within the heart of the Five-Colored Glazed Toad. These energies are extremely pure and a rare chance for these spirit plants, aiding their growth." Xuelian explained.

Luo Feng nodded. All things grow relying on the world’s Yuan Qi, which is why plants near Yuan Spirit Veins grow exceptionally lush. Judging by the previous situation, this Five Elements energy affects plants far more than a small Yuan Spirit Vein.

Feeling the vigorous vitality of the surrounding plants, Luo Feng took a deep breath, then turned to Xuelian, his pupils slightly contracting.

"Xuelian, what realm are you in now?"

Xuelian smiled and answered, "I’m just short of stepping into the True Yuan Realm seventh level."

"So fast?"

Luo Feng was a bit surprised. It hadn’t been long since she broke through the sixth level of the True Yuan Realm.

Xuelian nodded, grateful, "The Pure Yin Blood Energy from the heart of the Five-Colored Glazed Toad is stronger than I imagined. If I can refine it completely, I’m likely to step into the True Yuan Realm ninth level."

True Yuan Realm ninth level!

Luo Feng took a deep breath, somewhat thankful for giving the Five-Colored Glazed Toad to Xuelian, and also a bit envious.

Once the Blood Fiend clan gains spirit wisdom, their cultivation speed is incomparable to human Martial Artists. As long as they have enough essence blood, their potential is endless.

Back then, during the great war between the nine sacred lands and the Demon Sect, countless died and rivers flowed with blood, creating many powerful Blood Fiends. Besides Blood Fiends, there were Blood Demons and even entities surpassing Blood Demons, destroying many cities in the Hundred Nation Domain.

For this reason, the nine sacred lands are extremely fearful of Blood Fiends with spirit wisdom, eliminating them as soon as they are found.

However, this is undoubtedly beneficial for Luo Feng. The stronger Xuelian is, the more helpful she is to him.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng said, "Xuelian, accompany me on a trip."

"Yes."

Xuelian nodded without questioning, following Luo Feng out of the courtyard.

After last night’s banquet, people in the palace all recognized Luo Feng, allowing the two to exit the palace smoothly.

On the wide streets of Melt Fire City, groups of Martial Artists walked together, excitedly discussing, seemingly about significant matters.

"Did you hear about last night’s happenings at the palace banquet?"

"Wasn’t it just the nine sacred lands selecting disciples early, the Crown Prince arranging a marriage for Luo Feng, the first genius of the Canglang Dynasty, and Luo Feng defeating Prince Jia. These news have spread throughout Melt Fire City this morning, and you still pretend to keep a secret."

"Hehe, thought you didn’t know."

"I didn’t expect Prince Jia to be defeated by Luo Feng."

"Yuan Jun also lost in swordsmanship to Yue Haitang of the Top Ten New Dragons. Our Dali Dynasty was utterly defeated, embarrassed greatly." One person lamented.

"Prince Jia is a fifth-level True Yuan Realm Martial Artist, and Luo Feng managed to beat him, incredible. When did the young generation in the Canglang Dynasty have such a master?"

"Hmph, it’s just because Young Master Hufeng wasn’t there. If he were present, Luo Feng wouldn’t have been so ostentatious," someone retorted.

"True, no matter how powerful Luo Feng is, he can’t match the top young talent of our Dali Dynasty. During the dynasty competition, Prince Jia couldn’t withstand three moves from Young Master Hufeng. Luo Feng would be the same against him, probably defeated in just one move."
