He considered himself to be virtually unmatched among his peers, not to mention that the Seventh Elder was a peak eighth-level figure.
Feng Hua nodded, then took out three storage rings and handed them to Gu Yifeng, smiling, "This is your reward for winning. Keep it safe."
Upon seeing the three storage rings, Gu Yifeng's gaze sharpened, and his heart skipped a beat. These three storage rings represented the Seventh Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Fifteenth Elder, respectively. Each storage ring contained one hundred yuan coins, with a total value of one thousand yuan coins, which could be described as a generous reward.
Just then, a hearty laugh rang out. Old Ancestor Feng stepped forward, glanced at Gu Yifeng, and said, "You are my little disciple's friend?"
Gu Yifeng turned his gaze and saw that Old Ancestor Feng looked to be over sixty years old, with gray hair, a thin and short figure, and a rough and simple cloth robe that made him look rather shabby.
"Junior Gu Yifeng greets Senior Feng," Gu Yifeng said, bowing respectfully.
"Haha, you're too polite, child. I'm not an old monster, why do I need to be so courteous?" Old Ancestor Feng shook his head and said. He had become Old Ancestor Feng's disciple in his early years, so Old Ancestor Feng addressed him as a junior.
"Senior is too kind. It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to become your disciple," Gu Yifeng said with flattery.
"You certainly know how to talk." Ancestor Feng's face lit up with a bright smile, then his tone turned serious. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly said, "The main reason I summoned you here is to ask you to help me find a few people. I wonder if you have any leads?"
"How many people?" Gu Yifeng asked with a puzzled look, "Whom does Old Master Feng want us to find?"
"Take a look at this map before you decide." Old Ancestor Feng handed a yellowed parchment to Gu Yifeng. Gu Yifeng took it and opened it. He saw that there were many characters marked on the parchment, which looked like some kind of script. However, he was not familiar with it and could not understand it.
“If you study the text carefully, you should be able to understand some of it,” Elder Feng reminded him.
Gu Yifeng nodded. Although he was illiterate, the words on the parchment had a rhythmic quality, as if they contained some kind of power of rules, which made him unable to help but immerse himself in them and gradually forget about time.
…………
The central area of Holy Emperor City has two sections: one is the Martial Arts Arena, and the other is the Medicine King Tower.
The Martial Arts Arena is a place for disciples from various forces in the Heavenly Wasteland to exchange and spar with each other, while the Medicine King Tower is a place specifically designed for spirit array masters or those skilled in making pills. One of these areas is the martial arts area, and the other is the soul land, making them one of the most important places in the Heavenly Wasteland.
The Soul Land covers thousands of acres and is protected by an extremely powerful defensive barrier constructed by four powerful spirit array masters. It can withstand attacks from True Essence level experts and even attacks from Emperor level experts. Therefore, the Soul Land is known as the safest place in the Holy Emperor City. Unless an Emperor level figure comes in person, no one dares to act recklessly.
At this moment, in the Land of Souls, a figure sat cross-legged, surrounded by dazzling light that shone like stars, as if he were hidden in the starry sky. This caused the soul power in the Land of Souls to surge wildly, surging and roaring like a tide, which was extremely shocking.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A deep, resounding explosion echoed from the land of souls, where endless starlight burst forth, transforming into a terrifying storm of destruction, layer upon layer, utterly horrifying.
As time passed, this space became incredibly chaotic, as if sharp blades were tearing through the sky, seemingly trying to sever everything.
The youth in the central region was bathed in stars, surrounded by boundless stellar power, as if he had transformed into a stellar body. His figure was majestic, and his aura was incredibly powerful. He thrust his palms forward, and countless stars shot out, carrying a sharp sound of tearing through the air, piercing through the void with astonishing pressure.
Outside Fengyun Manor, countless figures gathered. These were people from nearby sects who had come to watch the weapon-refining competition that Fengyun Manor was about to hold.
They all knew that Fengyun Manor had a very high reputation in Beidou Prefecture, and the weapon-refining competition of Fengyun Manor was bound to attract a lot of attention, so they all wanted to come and witness it.
When these people arrived at Fengyun Manor, they witnessed an extremely spectacular scene.
Endless starlight descended from the void, and brilliant rays of light fell upon the figure in the center of the Soul Land. The starlight surrounding him grew brighter and brighter, and the aura he released became increasingly terrifying, faintly showing signs of a divine weapon being born.
"Could that be a newly recruited disciple of Fengyun Manor?" Everyone trembled with fear. Their minds were buzzing. It was too astonishing that Fengyun Manor had such an outstanding weapon refiner.
At this moment, someone noticed the figure's appearance, their pupils contracted sharply, and they exclaimed, "Gu Yifeng, it's him! Gu Yifeng has actually advanced to the sixth-grade weapon refiner, and has already completed the seventh-grade weapon refiner assessment, entering the seventh-grade ranks!"
"What? He's Gu Yifeng?"
Upon hearing this, everyone around was startled, and then they all looked up at the void, their gazes falling on the white-clad figure, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
This person is Gu Yifeng, who ranks ninety-third on the Fengyun List.
At this moment, Gu Yifeng's aura was completely contained, without emitting any strong fluctuations. However, even so, he still gave people a strong sense of crisis.
"How could he possess such a strong astral attribute?" The crowd trembled slightly, their gazes toward Gu Yifeng becoming exceptionally fervent.
Gu Yifeng is a genius at weapon crafting.
He had a brief encounter with Qin Xuan, during which Gu Yifeng suffered a crushing defeat, even having his prized flames suppressed.
His flames were not ordinary flames, but Heavenly Fiery Demon Flames. Born from the essence of fire, Heavenly Fiery Demon Flames were extraordinary in nature. Even in the Heavenly Burning Furnace, they were among the top-grade flames, comparable to the flames of the Heavenly Fiery Beast.
It was precisely because of the Heavenly Flame Demon that Gu Yifeng ranked high on the Wind and Cloud Ranking. All of this was thanks to the power of the Heavenly Flame Demon. He thought that this time he could avenge his previous defeat.
A soft knock suddenly sounded at the door, causing Gu Yifeng, who was in a meditative state, to frown and ask with displeasure, "What is it?"
A voice came from outside the door: "Reporting to the young master, we have just received news that a young man named Qin Xuan has arrived at the Feng family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yifeng abruptly stopped absorbing the power of the stars, opened his eyes, and a sharp look appeared on his face. He asked, "What is he doing here?"
Qin Xuan, that name sounds somewhat familiar.
