The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1282: Gifting a Pill

Each of the alchemists stared at Ling Feng with disbelief piled upon disbelief. He calmly put the pill away with a relaxed air, and his expression carried an effortless serenity, as if he had only performed the most ordinary task in the world.

Only Tuoba Yan managed to remain slightly composed. She had long grown used to this "monster" and his unreasonable talent no longer surprised her.

Master Wang felt a bitterness he could not swallow. He never imagined that this youth, someone so young, would be an alchemy master who far surpassed him!

In truth, he was not merely a master but a great grandmaster!

After the shock faded, the alchemists from Hailong Island could not hide the envy that rose in their eyes. A Ninefold Profound Heavenly Spirit Pill was before them. Even a Human Emperor level expert could potentially gain one or two layers of cultivation if fortune was on their side. The Nine Yang Soul Condensing Flower strengthened spiritual consciousness and refined the soul essence source. Ling Feng was only in the Spiritual Element Realm, and by conventional logic this pill was far too high tier for him to use.

Yet Ling Feng was a complete freak. Pills meant for breaking through the Spiritual Sea Realm had little effect on him. The Ninefold Profound Heavenly Spirit Pill was actually the perfect catalyst for his breakthrough.

His spiritual consciousness had already reached the Human Emperor long ago! Master Wang drew in a deep breath, hurriedly bowing toward Ling Feng. In the path of alchemy, true skill spoke louder than age. Though Ling Feng was far younger than him, only someone with such mastery deserved to be called "Master."

Ling Feng waved his hand lightly. "Master Wang flatters me."

"Mr. Ling, you're so young, yet your attainment in alchemy already reaches such a level. It truly puts us old men to shame."

Master Wang's face flushed. He had originally wanted to watch Ling Feng make a fool of himself, only to realize now that he had been the frog at the bottom of the well, while Ling Feng was the real master standing above all!

Ling Feng simply smiled and opened the jade box in his hand. Inside lay three round pills, exuding a tempting fragrance that made one feel refreshed with just a single breath.

Everyone's gaze locked onto the pills. Each one was perfectly formed, smooth and full, with clear pill inscriptions etched on the surface.

Pills of this level were unquestionably high-grade, the finest among the finest.

Ling Feng casually took one and handed it to the Island Master's wife. "A small token of thanks for the cauldron you gifted me."

"Uh... thank you, Mr. Ling! Thank you!"

The Island Master's wife accepted it with both hands, her palms trembling slightly.

This was likely the highest-tier pill she had ever seen in her life!

"There's no need for such courtesy. It's only a Ninefold Profound Heavenly Spirit Pill, nothing worth mentioning." Ling Feng smiled faintly.

He was someone who returned courtesy with even greater courtesy, treat him three parts with respect, and he would repay seven!

Offend him three parts... and he would return seven in kind!

The Island Master's wife nearly let out a silly smile. To a "future Sacred Emperor," a spirit pill like this meant nothing, but for Hailong Island, it was an absolute treasure!

The pill itself might not match the value of the Yin-Yang Mystic Fire Cauldron, but securing a connection with Ling Feng was worth far more than ten of those cauldrons!

"Mr. Ling truly is a dragon among men, and his generosity is magnificent whenever he acts!"

The Island Master's wife said happily. "You must be tired from your journey and from personally refining these pills. I will arrange everything immediately, stay here as long as you wish!"

Ling Feng nodded with a smile. "Then I must thank you."

The Island Master's wife was elated. If the future Sacred Emperor resided on Hailong Island, then when his fame shook the entire Dongling Region someday, they only needed to announce that Ling Feng had once stayed here. Hailong Island's name would shoot past Tianhuang City and become the foremost power of the Inner Sea.

Ling Feng had no idea what schemes she was brewing. Since there was a place to stay, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Soon, under her personal guidance, Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan settled into a refined courtyard. In order to curry favor with Ling Feng, she even poured his tea and water, constantly fussed over his comfort, and treated him like an ancestor.

Ling Feng was nearly driven mad. Only after finally shooing the mother and daughter away did he let out a long breath of relief.

"Young Master Ling, enjoying yourself quite well, aren't you?"

Tuoba Yan's teasing voice suddenly sounded beside him. She lightly clenched her teeth and shot him a sideways glare from her bright eyes.

"Enjoy what..." Ling Feng rubbed his forehead helplessly. "This title of being from the sacred land works a little too well. Even Lin Mu, who is actually from the sacred land, doesn't get this kind of treatment."

He had no idea that her attitude toward him wasn't because he was from the sacred land, but because of the title "future Sacred Emperor."

"Hmph! Those two women earlier practically wanted to glue themselves to you.

Tuoba Yan gave a light snort, her voice carrying a distinct note of jealousy.

"Uh... it wasn't that bad..."

Ling Feng scratched his nose awkwardly. The image of earlier flashed in his mind. Long Shanshan was still acceptable, but the Island Master's wife...

The thought alone sent a chill down his spine. He really couldn't stay here too long!

Otherwise... he felt he'd be betraying the Island Master he had never even met!

With a dry laugh, Ling Feng took out another Ninefold Profound Heavenly Spirit Pill and smiled. "Yan'er, this one is yours. Your cultivation has been progressing well. When the time comes, you can use it."

Tuoba Yan shot him a glare. "I can't use it now anyway. Leaving it with you is the same!"

"How is that the same? What if we're separated someday?" Scratching the back of his head, Ling Feng blurted out his reply.

"Hmph! I don't want to be separated... Hmph!"

Her cheeks flushed as she turned and hurried out. "Go cultivate. I'll stand guard for you!"

"Ah? Oh... then I'll trouble you."

Ling Feng looked at her retreating figure, then at the pill in his hand, shrugged, and stopped overthinking. He took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and prepared to breakthrough to king-tier.

Outside, Tuoba Yan closed the door, heart pounding wildly. She had actually blurted out her true thoughts just now!

"Ugh... that big idiot. Maybe he only sees me as a friend, no different from Xiaofan and the others..."

She bit her lip and shook her head, forcing the feelings back down. If that fool ever found out what she truly thought, they might not even be able to remain ordinary friends.

"This is fine... staying by his side and silently guarding him is enough."

Tuoba Yan shook her head and smiled. She had become the vessel for the Tiance Mirror, and Ling Feng was its master. Hadn't all of this been destined long ago...
