Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement
Chapter 364 - 201: Marriage Alliance, Cultivation Marketplace
Jiang Feng had heard more than once that the old master of the Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall was the sworn brother of the Emperor of the Great Tang. All along, the hall had been hailed as the Great Tang’s First Martial Arts Hall, and Jiang Feng had initially thought it was due to the old master’s connection with the Emperor of the Great Tang.
Now, seeing two old cultivators entering the Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall with unfettered access, and the disciples they encountered respectfully stepping aside to greet them, he realized it wasn’t that simple.
The two old cultivators didn’t pay any attention to those disciples, as if it was a matter of course. Those disciples also didn’t dare approach and talk to them, and only resumed their actions after the two had left.
"Could it be that one of them is the old master?"
"If the old master of the Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall is a cultivator, then being the sworn brother of the Emperor of the Great Tang wouldn’t seem excessive."
Jiang Feng thought.
Originally planning to leave Dragon Capital to investigate cultivation secrets elsewhere, upon seeing cultivators in the Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall, he decided to stay and investigate further.
"How should I start?"
"Go find Wu Weiwei."
Jiang Feng’s eyes lit up. Wu Weiwei was the new master of the Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall, and he had done her a favor, so maybe he could learn about the situation in the cultivation realm from her.
"I should have thought of her sooner."
Jiang Feng felt a bit annoyed; the Little Cyan Snake was clearly a Demon Beast, so Wu Weiwei must know many things, given its presence in the hall.
Previously, due to the Second Prince, Jiang Feng was unwilling to interact with Wu Weiwei.
Now, his strength had increased, becoming a second-layer Qi Condensation cultivator. He even dared to sneak into the Imperial City Academy. Seeking some cultivation secrets from Wu Weiwei didn’t seem a risk to Jiang Feng.
"I can also ask her about the Three-legged Body Technique."
Jiang Feng thought again of the one-eyed elder.
He first returned to Shuitang Lane, and the next day, he changed his appearance, transforming into the senior expert in Wu Weiwei’s eyes.
Following Wu Weiwei’s directions, he arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall.
As soon as he got close, the gatekeeper disciple blocked his path and asked, "Are you here to sign up for martial arts training, or do you have other matters?"
"I’m here to see your Master Wu. She told me that if I came to Dragon Capital, I should definitely visit her at the hall."
Jiang Feng smiled.
"What is your relationship with our master?"
The gatekeeper disciple was stunned, his attitude noticeably more respectful.
"We’re friends, I’d say. We helped each other out in the south. Please inform her that the friend she sent a Jade Dew Pill has come to see her."
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said.
"Then please come inside and rest in the hall. Once the master returns, we will inform her immediately."
The gatekeeper disciple, upon hearing that Wu Weiwei had sent a Jade Dew Pill to Jiang Feng, concluded their relationship was not simple and dared not delay further.
"Uh... she’s not here. Do you know when Master Wu might return?"
Jiang Feng hadn’t expected to come in vain.
"The master has been outside the city lately, so we don’t know when she’ll return. But since you’re her friend, we’ll arrange for someone to notify her. Perhaps once she knows you’re here, she will return as soon as possible."
The gatekeeper disciple said.
"Thank you very much."
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and decided to wait at the Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall, thinking that those two elderly cultivators were also inside the hall; perhaps after learning he is Wu Weiwei’s friend, he could meet them.
"Please come inside."
The gatekeeper disciple handed Jiang Feng over to the hall’s steward. The steward, upon learning of Jiang Feng’s connection with Wu Weiwei, did not delay and led Jiang Feng to a guest room to wait, simultaneously sending someone to notify Wu Weiwei.
Staying in the guest room, Jiang Feng slowly extended his spiritual sense.
The hall had numerous disciples, each outstanding, most adult disciples possessing Middle Third Grade cultivation and even Upper Third Grade strength.
They were either practicing martial arts and sparring in the square or listening to lectures in the chapel. Due to the presence of cultivators, Jiang Feng dared not extend his spiritual sense too widely and quickly retracted it.
He roughly estimated there were two to three hundred disciples currently in the hall, which explained why merely claiming an acquaintance with Wu Weiwei earned him a welcome into the guest room.
The hall exuded an air of confidence. They weren’t afraid of troublemakers coming in. Nor did they think anyone would dare to pose as Wu Weiwei’s friend to enjoy the guest room’s hospitality.
The Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall treated him with courtesy, as Jiang Feng quietly stayed in the guest room, taking out his personal copy of the upper part of the Restriction Array book to read.
That restriction array book retrieved from the academy’s top floor had already been burnt by Jiang Feng, but before doing so, he transcribed its contents into three parts: upper, middle, and lower.
Turning one book into three books.
This way, even if someone saw it, they wouldn’t suspect the book’s content had been stolen from the Imperial City Academy.
Five hours later.
Nighthad fallen.
Jiang Feng had just finished dinner.
"Senior..."
Wu Weiwei’s voice appeared in the hall.
"Senior, I’m back."
A moment later, her figure appeared at the guest room door.
Jiang Feng rose to open the door, and the person outside was indeed Wu Weiwei. He said, "Master Wu, you’ve finally returned."
"Senior,... I’m sorry to keep you waiting."
Seeing Jiang Feng’s appearance reverting to the first time they met, Wu Weiwei wasn’t even sure if this was Jiang Feng’s true face.
"It’s alright; I just arrived in Dragon Capital and happened to need a place to rest. Your hall’s guest room is quite nice."
Jiang Feng smiled.
"This guest room is too small; I’ll arrange a bigger one for you. Make yourself at home; stay as long as you like."
Wu Weiwei was very hospitable.
"Hahaha, then I won’t hold back."
