“This ——”
Above the main hall, the three people looked at the back of Lin Huai Gou who had suddenly left the scene, not knowing what to say.
It had to be said that this Lin Huai Gou really thought highly of himself, or perhaps his years of leaning on the old man had caused him to be somewhat unsure of his true position.
Although Feng Chaonan was at the Innate Realm, given his status, Lin Huai Gou had thrown his face at the wrong person.
”Old wretch, no good death.” Feng Chaonan’s face turned darker than the bottom of a pot, and in his heart, he had already pa*sed a death sentence on Lin Huai Gou.
Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly become stagnant, Ping Er also had the insight to say, “Your Highness, I have not recovered from the battle with Kuang Yuan earlier, and now I need to go and recuperate for a while, please forgive me!”
“Young warrior Ping does not need to be polite, since you are injured, you should go and recuperate quickly.” Feng Chaonan squeezed out a smile and said.
For Ping Er, a reckless man who knew how to be polite, Feng Chaonan still thought highly of him.
He had no background, had achieved divine origin before he was thirty, and did not think highly of himself like Lin Huai Gou, all of which were reasons for Feng Chaonan to value him.
For Ping Er, Feng Chaonan really wanted to use him as his beloved.
As for Lin Huai Gou, an old man who relies on his old age, he should be used as cannon fodder.
After these two had left, Si Haofeng saw that there were no outsiders, and thinking of his purpose, he asked, “Chaonan, do you know how His Majesty’s injuries are now?”
“Does Uncle want to ask if Father has woken up?”
“Hm? You know what I want to ask?” Si Haofeng looked at Feng Chaonan in amazement.
“Uncle, you and Ouyang Yan and the others have been investigating for days, so it would be difficult for me not to know.”
Said Feng Chaonan, a wisp of worry appeared on his face, “Father should have woken up. Four days ago, I went to the royal secret vault to look for some heavenly treasures to increase my power, but I found that most of the treasures such as the Inferno Sun Marrow, Blood Phoenix Gra*s, and the Free Flame Wutong were missing. I think that Father must have secretly taken them and used them to heal his wounds.”
“Is that so? It seems that His Majesty has really woken up. Then why has he not shown up so that he can stabilise the situation in the court which is now beginning to be unstable?” Si Hao Feng muttered.
“Wait, that’s not right ——”
Si Haofeng suddenly noticed that Feng Chaonan’s words about heavenly treasures were incorrect.
“The Blood Phoenix Gra*s is effective in healing injuries, but the Li Fire Wutong is not so effective for healing injuries, it’s more useful in focusing on growing merit. Not to mention that there is also Inferno Sun Marrow ——”
Hearing Si Haofeng’s words, Feng Chaonan was also thinking about the nature of the Inferno Sun Marrow at this time.
The Yan Sun Marrow is the most virile, and contains fire energy that is so domineering that even a True Dan realm martial artist who specializes in fire martial arts would be cautious about absorbing it.
At this time, Feng Tianming was seriously injured and was afraid of choking to death even if he ate a mouthful of rice.
“Your Majesty must have a plan, and this plan ——”
Very bad.
This was Si Haofeng’s only thought.
If it was just to heal his wounds, Feng Tianming would not need to act in such a secretive manner, as long as he needed to, he could have taken the heavenly treasures in the royal secret vault openly and honestly, instead of being so sneaky.
Anyone who acts in a secretive manner must have a reason for not being able to see the light of day.
As the emperor of the Northern Zhou, Feng Tianming had to be sneaky even to heal his wounds, so it must be that his way of healing was not allowed to see the light of day, to the point of death.
“No, I have to go to the academy and ask the dean, or Meng Shan Chang, they have seen a lot of things, surely, they can know what these things like the Inferno Sun Marrow can be used for?”
Si Haofeng could not sit still any longer, and directly rushed with his lightning skills, disappearing before Feng Chaonan’s eyes in an instant.
Looking at his already empty body, Feng Chaonan thought about the developments that would follow, and a smile of anticipation appeared on his lips.
————————
In the gloomy underground chamber, there was magnificent firelight reflecting into the eyes.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
During his last visit to Feng Chaonan, Qing Yu had received a long-coveted body refining liquid, the “Fire Phoenix Body Tempering Dew”, which was secretly pa*sed down from the Feng family.
Using the “Fire Phoenix Body Tempering Dew” and mixing it with the liquid of other spiritual medicines, it became the crimson pool that Qing Yu was staying in at the moment.
“Dang…”
In the pool of water, Qing Yu’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide, and a golden bell appeared outside his body, and in an instant, the sound of a great bell filled the entire underground chamber.
“DONG–”
The golden bell vibrated again, and an invisible recoil swept through the entire crimson pool, but this powerful force did not cause the pool to splash in all directions, but caused it to move rapidly around Qing Yu in a clockwise motion.
The vortex in the pool spun faster and faster, and gradually the crimson colour in it began to fade, returning the pool to its proper colour.
In the centre of the pool, however, Qing Yu’s body was red in colour, and the red colour spread throughout his body, so that even his hair began to turn into the colour of fire.
But in the midst of this fiery red colour, there was a trace of golden lines, tracing out arcane trajectories on the surface of Qing Yu’s body.
At last, the crimson in the pool water was completely absorbed by Qing Yu, causing him to become a fire man with a crimson body, but at the same time, the golden lines began to spread and his body glowed with golden light.
“Dong dong dong dong–”
The golden light on Qing Yu’s body began to converge, while the golden bell outside his body appeared more and more brilliant and glorious.
The golden bell was covered with Sanskrit inscriptions and swastikas, making Qing Yu look like a great virtuous monk, shining with the light of Buddha.
A short while later, the sound subsided and the golden bell slowly shrank and became invisible.
“The ninth level of the Golden Bell Shroud is complete.” Qing Yu slowly clenched his fist, emitting a powerful and shocking sound of bones rubbing together.
In his fist, a greyish-white bead lost its original colour and was crushed into powder by him.
That was the flesh relic obtained from Shi Jue.
This meat relic was responsible for Qing Yu’s ability to achieve the ninth level of the Golden Bell Shroud so quickly.
The “Fire Phoenix Body Tempering Dew” was certainly effective in refining the body, but without this flesh relic constantly replenishing his Qi and blood, Qing Yu would not have been able to cultivate the Golden Bell Hood so frantically.
Now, at the completion of the ninth level, this Flesh Relic, which had been absorbed by Shi Jue for the most part, had also completed its final mission and turned into a pile of powder.
“The ninth level of the Golden Bell Shroud, nine is the extreme of the number, and the top of the Divine Origin realm; if you want to advance any further, you will have to break through to the True Dan realm.”
“However, in the cultivation after that, without the help of the Flesh Relic, my Golden Bell Shroud’s progress will return to its original speed.” Qing Yu’s eyes were filled with helplessness as he thought of his Golden Bell Shroud cultivation at the True Dan realm afterwards.
What was the original speed of the Golden Bell Shroud?
Slow, extremely slow.
If there were no external objects to help him, it would have taken Qing Yu at least seven, eight, ten or so years to practice to the twelfth level. This was still an estimate at the most optimistic speed, and if he met a bottleneck, this time would have to be pushed back.
