Chapter 2713 - 2689: Entering the Holy City

Chapter 2713: Chapter 2689: Entering the Holy City

Ever since Lin Feng ascended, he had completely lost contact with him and had no idea how Lin Feng’s cultivation was progressing. Even though he knew Lin Feng’s strength and destiny, figuring out how to get in touch with Lin Feng was giving him a massive headache.

Hearing the white-robed old man’s words, Fang Yan seemed to suddenly be enlightened, then said, "From today on, all cultivation resources of the Holy Wind Sect are yours to allocate as you see fit, Master. I hope you can ascend to The Upper Realm as soon as possible and go find the Sect Master."

Now he pinned all his hopes on the white-robed old man. After all, among these cultivators, only the white-robed old man was the strongest. If he could ascend quickly and find the Sect Master to come help, maybe these people could still be saved. This was the only way to resolve the current situation, and the Holy Wind Sect was temporarily still safe.

Hearing Fang Yan’s suggestion, everyone turned their gazes to the white-robed old man and nodded. They understood the situation now—only Lin Feng could deal with the Demon Clan, so they had to find a way to locate Lin Feng.

The white-robed old man suddenly felt an immense pressure, but there was no other option now. He nodded, then stood up and left. The only thing he could do was seize every bit of time for cultivation...

Lin Feng and the girls spent a few happy days by the sea. Aurora also returned to her original appearance. The four of them then went back to the Holy Pill Pavilion. He planned to get everything arranged properly before setting off for the Frost Highland in the Northern Part.

Since returning, Lin Feng hadn’t seen Meng Jiao at all, so he headed toward the Alchemy Room.

At this moment Meng Jiao practically wished he could crawl into the Pill Furnace itself, holding a pill recipe in hand and studying it carefully. He didn’t even notice Lin Feng had already walked up behind him. His level of obsession with Alchemy even made Lin Feng feel impressed.

"Ahem!" Lin Feng gave a light cough so as not to startle the fully-absorbed Meng Jiao.

Hearing the sound, Meng Jiao finally came back to his senses. Seeing Lin Feng, he smiled in surprise and said, "Pavilion Master, you’re back."

After several years apart, Meng Jiao had grown a bit more mature, but Lin Feng was still as elegant and composed as ever. Lin Feng nodded and said to Meng Jiao, "These past few years, it’s all thanks to you. You’ve worked hard."

Waving his hand, Meng Jiao smiled and said, "Pavilion Master, what are you talking about? As long as you let me face the Pill Furnace every day, I’m perfectly satisfied. I wonder what instructions Pavilion Master has for me?"

Lin Feng took out the ice block condensed from the Tears of Cold Marrow from his spatial storage and handed it to Meng Jiao, saying, "This is something I obtained in the Southern Region seas. When you’re doing Alchemy, putting in this Tears of Cold Marrow can make the Elixirs more stable and their purity higher."

Taking the Tears of Cold Marrow, Meng Jiao almost jumped up in delight. You had to know he’d only ever heard of this thing in the pill scriptures; he’d never expected Lin Feng to actually find it. He then said to Lin Feng, "This is fantastic."

Seeing how excited Meng Jiao was, Lin Feng again took out the Cold Condensing Pill, which was condensed from the Source of Cold Marrow, and handed it to Meng Jiao, saying, "You know what this is, right?"

After carefully looking at it for quite a while, Meng Jiao’s eyes widened. "Could this be the Cold Condensing Pill?"

He couldn’t believe Lin Feng had actually found the Source of Cold Marrow and even refined it into an Elixir. This was simply too unbelievable. Just being able to find Tears of Cold Marrow was already extremely rare. For someone like him, obsessed with Alchemy, to suddenly see so many treasures that could enhance Elixirs, his feelings at this moment were basically beyond description.

Lin Feng nodded. Seeing Meng Jiao like this, he gave a faint smile and said, "Yes. Make good use of it—this wasn’t easy to obtain."

Meng Jiao nodded, then said to Lin Feng, "Pavilion Master, your harvest from this expedition was no small one."

"Yeah. But I’ll be leaving again in a few days. This time I have something I need to entrust to you. If over in Tianhai we establish new Holy Pill Pavilions in other cities, I’ll need you to put in some extra effort. The Holy Pill Pavilion in Lin City is already on track; as long as we keep the Elixir stock well prepared, there’s nothing to worry about. When the time comes, you’ll go sit in town at the new Holy Pill Pavilion." Lin Feng said to Meng Jiao. He had considered this from many angles before coming to discuss it with Meng Jiao. After all, Meng Jiao was younger, while Di Guang and Yao Nan were both getting on in years, and he didn’t really want them running around too much.

After hearing Lin Feng’s arrangements, Meng Jiao patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry, Pavilion Master, leave it to me."

"Aren’t you going to check on your Elixirs?" Lin Feng kindly reminded him.

"Oh man, I got carried away chatting. Look at me..." Meng Jiao slapped his own head, then turned and ran back to the Pill Furnace to resume observing.

Seeing Meng Jiao’s enthusiasm toward Alchemy, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, then left the Alchemy Room. Right now, he felt that the fact he could have reached this point was truly the work of destiny silently guiding things. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have met so many people who helped him and so many fortuitous opportunities. So he absolutely had to do even better and not let down everyone’s expectations.

Three days later, Lin Feng stood at the entrance of the Holy Pill Pavilion to say goodbye to everyone. Ma Biaohu had already brought Miss Peng Family over. He looked at Si Hong and Lingling, gently hugged the two of them, then patted Xinyue on the head, and left the Holy Pill Pavilion with Tao Tao, Tangyuan, Ma Biaohu, Peng Muxue, and Xiao Jiu.

After boarding the Aurora, they headed straight north. The Aurora was fast, but the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm was simply too vast. To fly to the Frost Highland in the Northern Part would take several months. Inside the Aurora, Peng Muxue was especially excited. She had never left Lin City before. As soon as this Eldest Miss Peng left home, she seemed to turn into a different person, no longer as reserved as a noble lady. All the way, she clung to Tao Tao, asking all sorts of curious questions.

Ma Biaohu was very fond of this kind of Peng Muxue. Seeing her excitement, he looked at her with a pampering smile.

"Sigh, I suddenly feel like such a third wheel." Tangyuan sat on Xiao Jiu’s head, looking at Ma Biaohu’s love-struck face and sighed. These days it had been getting along quite well with Xiao Jiu. Although this kid always grabbed it and treated it like a toy, it still felt Xiao Jiu was pretty cute.

Lin Feng also found Ma Biaohu’s appearance amusing, but seeing Ma Biaohu happy made him feel very pleased as well.

Time passed like this, bit by bit. Lin Feng only knew that if they kept heading north, they would eventually reach the Frost Highland, but he knew nothing about the situation there. He was planning to first gather some information in a city near the Frost Highland. Unknowingly, they arrived above the center of the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm—the Holy City.

Since they had reached the Holy City, he thought he should take everyone to have a look around. After being in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm for so long, it would be unreasonable not to visit the Holy City. Moreover, the Holy City was the largest city in the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm; perhaps they could gather some information about the Alien Race there. Lin Feng then put away the Aurora and led everyone toward the Holy City...

It had to be said, the scale of this Holy City was truly exaggerated. Back in Lin City, he had already thought Lin City was big enough, but just now, from atop the Aurora, Lin Feng had used his Divine Sense to probe and found that the Holy City was several times larger than Lin City, spanning tens of millions of li in radius. One could imagine just how vast this Holy City was.

Standing in front of the city wall, they could clearly see that the entire Holy City wall was built from some kind of unknown golden stone. The wall was nearly a thousand zhang high, as if it reached straight into the heavens, looking extremely majestic and magnificent. Above the city gate, which was several hundred zhang wide, hung a gigantic golden plaque thousands of zhang long, bearing a single gilded character: "Holy"!

"This plaque is really cool." Ma Biaohu looked at Lin Feng and said. He had heard of the Holy City’s reputation before, but seeing it with his own eyes now, he was still shocked by its scale. Then the group walked into the city together.

As soon as they stepped into the Holy City, everyone was utterly stunned. The streets in the city were hundreds of zhang wide, and the buildings on both sides were all seven or eight stories tall—high-end restaurants and inns. The exteriors were all carved from uniform stone, looking incomparably luxurious. All the buildings were of standardized size, making the cityscape appear neat and orderly. The people in the Holy City were all dressed very lavishly, as if everyone lived extremely prosperous lives.

"This is way too spectacular!" Seeing the scene before her, Peng Muxue was so shocked she could hardly speak. She was, after all, the eldest miss of a Prominent Family in Lin City, but even she couldn’t help being amazed by the Holy City’s scenery. There was simply no comparison to Lin City. Leaving home really was great; the outside world was wonderful.

"Yeah, I didn’t expect the Holy City to look like this." Tao Tao looked around curiously. She hadn’t been here before, though she had heard others talk about it. But she truly hadn’t expected the Holy City to be this luxurious.

Lin Feng was also somewhat surprised by the scene before him. He had imagined what the Holy City might look like, but seeing such prosperity with his own eyes still caught him off guard. He then said to everyone, "Let’s go take a look at the market first and see if we can find anything good."

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Tangyuan excitedly flew to the front. It had been a long time since it last went treasure-hunting in a market; it had almost forgotten this skill. It then said to everyone, "Hurry up, follow me!"

Ma Biaohu picked up Xiao Jiu and followed behind Tangyuan. Lin Feng, Tao Tao, and Peng Muxue closely chased after Tangyuan. It had to be said, the population of the Holy City was incredibly dense. Even with such broad streets, the traffic was like an endless stream of carriages and people, the crowds shoulder to shoulder, making one sigh at the city’s prosperity.

After walking for several hours and asking around many people, they finally arrived at the Holy City’s market. What they hadn’t expected was that even though it was almost dusk, the market was still a sea of people, and the cries of vendors rose and fell, clearly audible from far away.

Tangyuan suddenly disappeared from in front of Lin Feng and the others, plunging headfirst into the crowd. Lin Feng and the rest could only follow behind it. Ma Biaohu, while holding Xiao Jiu, also had to keep an eye on Tao Tao and Peng Muxue, in case anything dangerous happened to them. Only then did it become apparent how attentive Ma Biaohu really was.

Lin Feng lowered his head to look at the various Heaven-Reaching treasures laid out on the stalls. He found that the Holy City really was different—even the goods sold in the market were of much higher grade. As he walked, he bought any good Dharma Treasure or Spiritual Medicine he saw. Before he knew it, he had already purchased several items.

Peng Muxue and Tao Tao walked through the market hand in hand, looking around curiously. Suddenly, everyone started moving in the same direction. Lin Feng asked Tangyuan, "What’s going on ahead?"

Tangyuan said, "Up ahead is the auction house. There’s an auction today, and it seems there are lots of treasures."

Hearing the words "auction house," Lin Feng’s interest was immediately piqued. He said to Ma Biaohu, Tao Tao, and Peng Muxue, "Perfect timing. Let’s go check out the auction house."

He then led everyone along with the crowd toward the auction house...
