Advertisement
The trio within the Virtue Hall Sun Room started to discuss regarding the matters happen between cities, exchanging as much information as they could.
Mu Qiao Feng could be said as one of the most knowledgeable people within the Clear Jade City, because of his position as the Sect Leader of the Wen Ren Sect. Although his cultivation is currently on Early Earth Practitioner Tier, his attitude is humble and polite towards everyone, as its earn him the title of the pure gentleman of the Clear Jade City.
He also is said to be the man with the biggest network of information due to his friendly nature, and information related to ten cities near Clear Jade City would never be able to be hidden from him.
One of the neighboring city, Xuan Wu Jade City is well known for possessing the Pill Hall that has the potential of being Ranked as Silver Hall.
As for Han Feng Xian, the Xuan Wu Sword Clan is actually one of the private clan that specialized in their martial prowess in handling two handed swords. The clan is yet to be ranked as a bronze rank, but they do possess a total of 10 Practitioner Tier cultivators within the clan.
He is one of the ranked figures within the clan until one unfortunate incident strikes him about one month ago. His group had been ambushed by a pack of cultivating beast in their journey into the deeper forest nearby Xuan Wu Jade City, and although they managed to win the fight, eight out of 20 members of the group are killed, while the remaining is heavily injured.
Especially Han Feng Xian, as he was put in the position to fight two Early Human Practitioner Tier beast, and it forced him to exhaust all available medicine and power-up pills to achieve a risky victory.
Although its end with a victorious feat, the injuries have done to his internal body is nowhere lighter than on his external. Mass utilizing pills and ointments without thoroughly purifying the impurities cause his body to take a huge toll, as he faces the difficulties of absorbing Essence Qi surrounding him, as well refining the essence smoothly.
If this issue remains for a longer time, this may cause internal injuries to the veins and dantian of a cultivator, and destroy their possibility of advancing in the future.
Luckily, Han Feng Xian and Mu Qiao Feng have a slight family relationship, so under the advice from Mu Qiao Feng, Feng Xian finally agree to came to look for Elder Tang Wen's assistance in removing the impurities and heal his injuries from the difficult battle.
"Senior Tang Wen, junior Feng Xian thanked senior for your kindness in helping to remove this illness of mine. I had tried looking for a few similar cultivation Pill Master, but none of their medicine works, and yet this illness is recovered slightly just by drinking a pot of specially brewed tea!" Han Feng Xian stands up and thanked Elder Tang Wen once again on his kindness.
"This is just natural, Brother Qiao Feng's nephew is natural family for me as well, due to our long history of friendship. Of course, I will help if I could." Elder Tang Wen humbly accept the words.
"Just stay within the Pill Hall for a short while, I have the confidence that your illness could be healed within one week, with the constant treatments." Elder Tang Wen continued.
The three of them continue with their less important conversations until finally, Long Feng came out from the room with a smile on his face.

"Disciple Long Feng greet master and two seniors." he politely came into the room and greets the senior within.
"Ah, Xiao Feng. How is your meditation today ?" Elder Tang Wen inquire about Long Feng's result within the room.
"Dear master, Xiao Feng managed to lit a total of three Spiritual Essence Candle in the room. But due to the time is getting late, so Xiao Feng doesn't dare to remain in the room any longer and disturb master's rest time." he answered.
"So, three candles... If in that case, return to your room, you can come over and complete the task tomorrow after you do your daily duties." Elder Tang Wen continued.
"Xiao Feng understands, master please take care. Seniors, please excuse this junior." Long Feng politely greets the elder as he left, and return to his room.
"Brother Tang Wen, is that Spiritual Essence Candle is what I am thinking?" Mu Qiao Feng asked.
"Yes, that's the same candle you are thinking about." Elder Tang Wen answered.
"Heavens... Only at Refinement Tier, and yet he lit three candles... Are you sure you are grooming this kid, and not playing with a monster?" Mu Qiao Feng question with a stronger tone this time.
"Believe me, he is the only seedling I have seen so far that have the best potential, and the most filial child amongst all."
"And also one thing, he has excellent compatibility with Sky Element." Elder Tang Wen continued without letting Mu Qiao Feng reply his previous sentence.
"WHAT! Sky Element with such talents? What kind of birth and blessing is for him to be blessed with this fate?" Mu Qiao Feng shocked as he hears more from Elder Tang Wen.
"Uncle, Senior, can Feng Xian ask for more understanding on this kid you both is talking about?" Han Feng Xian is literally lost as if he was a discussion between a duck and a chicken.
"This kid possesses the Constitution unknown to many people, and only those that really born on a certain date could possess it. We ourselves doesn't know too much about it either, but we know it's known as the Lingzi of Knowledge." Mu Qiao Feng explained slightly, but even himself doesn't know any more than Elder Tang Wen does.
=================================================================================================
Based on what the senior is saying, What is actually hidden within this Innate constitution, that only certain people knows and yet couldn't explain it in any deeper understanding?
Would the fact of being born on the fourteenth day of the month, the fourth month of the year, and on the year of a thousand four hundred and forty-four, and in the year of the rat, which is the first zodiac in the twelve sign?
14-4-1444 (day month year)/ 1-12 (1st of 12 zodiac sign)
=================================================================================================
Repeating the same usual habit, Long Feng finish it slightly early today, and went for a rest. As he wakes on the next morning, he quickly heads to the camp and started with the Thunder Spirit Pill refining.
Steadily, he refines the ingredient, as usual, paying more attention in his amount of Essence Qi released from each finger, both side and take his move step by step as graceful as he could.
Under the view from other disciples within the camp, Long Feng continued with his slow yet graceful movement, as he slowly cooks the ingredient, mix the concoction, portion it and place within the Pill Furnace, and refine them as he molds the pill into one same shape.
Some sky element Qi is released without Long Feng noticing, as it goes into the Thunder Spirit Pill, and as the pill ready, it started to release a very appetizing smell that attracts passerby to take a look. As the crowd is getting bigger and bigger, Long Feng who completed the pill refining finally place his mark on the pill, before he turned around to look for a container as the pill is still floating on the air under his essence control.

But shocked with the crowd behind him as he turned, Long Feng's essence control vanished in that moment, as the pill drop without any supports.
But in that moment, Liu Ming appeared at another side, quickly grab the few pills before letting them falls to the ground and cracked from the impact.
"I wonder how come I have that feeling that you will be shocked by this kind of situation."
"Luckily this is our Junior Long Feng we are talking about. Based on his innocence mindset, I roughly could guess his reaction as he saw what's happening." Liu Ming speaks.
Exactly as what Liu Ming says, Long Feng is in a state of shock, and as usual, he has gone into his trance mode and started to have his soul float to somewhere far away...
Until...
"IDIOT!" a female voice came into his ear, waking him up from that aimless wandering through his soul.
"Ah... Jing Jing... Why are you here?" Long Feng soul finally return to his body as he looking at Nan Jing Jing, but he seems to forget about the six High-Rank First Grade Thunder Spirit Pill he just successfully concocted.
"I saw you are totally absorbed into the moment you are concocting the pills, so I stay around looking at your steps. But who know you could actually wander away as you completed your pill refining!" Nan Jing Jing scolded Long Feng without any mercy.
From the sight of others, this two is exactly behaving like a couple!
The top three students and two of them are actually in a relationship!
As the other disciple started to have many different opinions, a savior finally appears.
"Guys, can you gave us some space?" Gou Yu appear out of nowhere and get close to the two of them.
"Gou Yu, it's great you are here! Knock some sense into this guy head, how can he actually wandered off in the end of pill refining?" Nan Jing Jing knows why Gou Yu appeared in front of them. But unfortunately, This dense headed Long Feng still thinking why the two of them and the others is gathering around him!
"Alright, let us walk and talk, others if you have time to stand here, why not help me finish my task? I'm feeling slightly lazy today." Gou Yu tried to look for somebody to do his part of daily duties, and immediately, everyone has gone missing from the spot, except Liu Ming, and the others from the camp.
"Junior Long Feng, take this 15 points and take a walk with your fellow friends, I will help you complete the other works." Liu Ming being understanding, quickly pass the gemstones to Long Feng so he could walk away with the others.
"I would really not dare to underestimate this junior. Concocting an Upper-Rank Thunder Spirit Pill in his second week, what a feat. I guess it's time we can negotiate with the Mission Hall elder to adjust the rewards a little bit." Liu Ming's mind started to felt the shock regarding Long Feng's potential.
"Brother Gou Yu, Jing Jing, what actually happen just now?" Long Feng finally know what question he should ask.
"You are deeply absorbed into the process when you are refining the pill, so without you noticing, the crowd gathered around you to see your unconscious performance of refining six Upper-Rank Pills." Gou Yu explained.
"And because the Thunder Spirit Pill you refine managed to carry a very appetizing smell, so it attracts me to come over as well to take a look." Nan Jing Jing continued.
"Well, me too... Then as you turn around, I'm not sure what is the reason, perhaps the shock of being under stare from the crowd cause your mind to wander away." Gou Yu take over from Jing Jing.
"Then you lost control of the medicine you just refine. Did you forget that the newly formed pill is easily destroyed and ruined if they fall and cracked its surface? Luckily Senior Liu Ming is there to grab it for you, else you really wasted all your efforts." he continued.
"Then because of you being in such air head, I came up to the stage to scold you and had you wake up from wandering around in your soul." Jing Jing finish answering the question.
"When did you advance? I remembered that you are just a Middle Human Refinement Tier two days ago," she asked.
"I advance that night after we split up and return to our respective room." Long Feng answered.
"So how is that piece of Jade Rock?" Nan Jing Jing questioned again.
"It's here, but nothing much had changed." Long Feng show the two of them the piece of Impure Azure Jade Rock.
They have a look on the piece of Jade Rock, but nothing special is spotted on it, so after a short moment, their attention turn towards something else again.
"We are at the Education Building now, want to go in for a check on any mission available?" Gou Yu came out with an idea.
"Why not? Let us go in and have a look." Nan Jing Jing agrees with that idea as well.
Long Feng keep quiet but followed the two of them along into the building.
The three of them walk directly into the room with the board of request and slowly goes through all the slips of a request.

"I think this few request is more suitable for us in terms of difficulties and level." Gou Yu says to the others.
"I will take this one." Nan Jing Jing grabbed the piece of slip containing the exchanging request.
"I will try to complete this task then." Long Feng grabbed the Internal Flame Pill request, while Gou Yu selects the Caretaker request.
The three of them soon exit the building and bid farewell to the others, and along with the slip on his hand, Long Feng heads to the Virtue Hall for his day lesson once again.
