The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1278: Yin-Yang Mystic Fire Cauldron

The second senior brother, Han Zhao, twitched at the corner of his mouth. He looked at the longbow on Ling Feng's back and took a deep breath before saying slowly, "The Island Master has been occupied with matters lately and is not on the island. I am afraid your trip here may be wasted!"

"It is fine. Meeting your Madam is enough."

Ling Feng motioned with pursed lips and spoke in a calm tone.

"You..."

Han Zhao inhaled sharply. He knew Ling Feng was difficult to deal with, so he grit his teeth and said, "Fine, follow me!"

"Then I will trouble you, second brother." Ling Feng gave a fist-and-palm salute, thinking to himself, this sacred land status is really useful, I can get away with anything anywhere!

Besides, he intended to join the Dongling Immortal Pool sooner or later, so he did not consider it deception.

Han Zhao clenched his fists and let out a quiet snort. In his mind he cursed, You are the second one! Your entire family is the second one!

After a short while, under Han Zhao's lead, Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan passed through an area filled with artificial hills and strange trees. They finally arrived at an elegant and refined courtyard. This was where the Island Master's wife usually cultivated.

Before they saw the Island Master's wife, a black-clad girl walked toward them.

Ling Feng recognized her. The Azure Jade Scale Serpent had attached itself to this girl that day in order to escape, but Ling Feng exposed it.

In a way, he had saved her life.

"Junior sister!"

Han Zhao immediately brightened when he saw the black-clad girl. He hurried over with a flattering smile.

This girl was the only daughter of the island master of Hailong Island. She was the young mistress of the island and her name was Long Shanshan.

When Long Shanshan saw Han Zhao approach, her brows tightened slightly. Her voice was cold as she said, "Second senior brother, why are you here again?"

"Hehe..."

Han Zhao's face revealed a trace of embarrassment. He forced a smile. "This Mr. Ling Feng says he has business and wishes to meet Madam."

As he spoke, Han Zhao pointed at Ling Feng behind him. Ling Feng happened to be looking in their direction and gave Long Shanshan a small nod.

"Mhmm?"

Long Shanshan narrowed her eyes and examined Ling Feng. She felt that he looked vaguely familiar, but she could not remember him. She asked, "Have we met?"

"We have, in a way."

Ling Feng pursed his lips. Back then her consciousness had been controlled by the Azure Jade Scale Serpent. She had seen him, but she had not truly met him.

"What do you mean in a way?"

Long Shanshan frowned and was about to question him. At that moment, a lazy voice came from behind the curtain.

"Shan'er, bring this Mr. Ling and his companions inside."

The voice naturally belonged to the Island Master's wife.

Long Shanshan bit her lip, glared at Ling Feng, and said coldly, "Follow me!"

Ling Feng shrugged, thinking to himself, This woman certainly has a poor attitude toward her savior.

The second senior brother realized Madam had not summoned him, so he had no choice but to leave in disappointment. As he walked away, he muttered, "People from sacred lands think they are impressive. Damn it!"

...

After passing through several sheer curtains and lifting several bead curtains, they finally saw the graceful and noble Island Master's wife.

The Island Lord's wife immediately rose as soon as she saw Ling Feng, her expression becoming unnaturally warm. Offering him a graceful bow, she said with a smile, "Mr. Ling has come from afar. My failure to welcome you properly was quite discourteous."

"Em..."

Ling Feng was stunned by the Island Master's wife's attitude. He did not understand what she meant. This woman's change was far too sudden.

Even Long Shanshan was startled. Her mother had never spoken so humbly, not even in front of her father.

"Island Master's wife is joking. I merely passed by."

Ling Feng touched his nose. Her level of politeness left him unsure how to deliver the speech he had planned in advance.

It turned out that after the Island Master's wife left with her people that day, she sensed a mysterious expert trailing Ling Feng on a nearby island. She immediately assumed this formidable expert was an elder or figure of similar standing to Ling Feng. If someone of that level protected Ling Feng from the shadows, then Ling Feng's identity had to be extraordinary.

Consequently, she naturally assumed Ling Feng was a genius figure of extremely high status within the Dongling Immortal Pool. Under such a premise, she did not dare show any neglect.

(Author's note: Refer Chapter 1150)

Ling Feng had no idea that he had unknowingly borrowed the authority of that mysterious black-robed figure. Given the Island Master's wife's current attitude, the matter became easier.

"As a guest from afar, I will arrange a welcoming banquet for Mr. Ling."

The Island Master's wife smiled warmly. Nothing remained of the authority she usually carried as the mistress of Hailong Island.

"That is not necessary." Ling Feng quickly waved his hand. "Island Master's wife, to be honest, I came here mainly to borrow an alchemy furnace. It does not need to be too high in grade. Anything above fifth-grade will do."

"No problem!"

The Island Master's wife answered without hesitation. "There happens to be a seventh-grade alchemy furnace on the island. Since we have no real alchemists here, I might as well give that furnace to Mr. Ling."

"Mother!"

Long Shanshan was shocked. She stared at her mother with wide eyes. "The Yin-yang Mystic Fire Cauldron may be only an alchemy furnace, but it is comparable to a mid-grade sacred artifact!"

Hailong Island had influence within the Tianlan Sea Region, but they were not wealthy beyond measure. The Yin-yang Mystic Fire Cauldron was one of their most valuable items. Giving it away so casually was unbelievable!

"Shush!"

The Island Master's wife scolded her daughter. She turned back to Ling Feng with a smile. "My daughter is ignorant, I hope Mr. Ling does not mind."

"Uh..."

Ling Feng touched his nose again. A seventh-grade alchemy furnace with the name Yin-yang Mystic Fire Cauldron had to be extraordinary. A furnace capable of channeling yin-yang flames would not be inferior to the Flame Valley Xuanling Cauldron, it might even surpass it.

"Mr. Ling must accept it!"

The Island Master's wife spoke quickly. "Last time, you saved my daughter. I have yet to repay that debt. The cauldron is precious, but it is nothing compared to my only daughter. Mr. Ling, please accept it."

"Hehe, then I will accept it respectfully."

Ling Feng grinned. An alchemist needed a proper furnace, since the Island Master's wife was so generous, he would accept it. He could always refine some pills and gift them to her later as repayment.

"Please wait here for a moment. I will retrieve the cauldron immediately."

The Island Master's wife smiled. "Xiu'er, Zhu'er, serve tea to our guests."

Two graceful maids stepped forward. The Island Master's wife gave Ling Feng a small bow and left with Long Shanshan.

Ling Feng pursed his lips. He turned to look at Tuoba Yan and smiled. "It seems this residence is not the dangerous place we feared."

Tuoba Yan shot him an annoyed glance. "Yes. Yes. Our great Mr. Ling truly is amazing!"

Ling Feng only shook his head with a soft laugh. He lifted the teacup and tasted it slowly.
