Chapter 1017 - 1015: Has Everyone Gone Mad?
"Lanlan!"
The voice came from a distance, bringing Xia Lalan back to her senses. Following the direction of the sound, she looked over and immediately saw the Xia Family’s Demon Hunting Team not far away. The one who had just spoken to her was a middle-aged man with a face that looked to be in his fifties. It was Elder Xia Mingchun, who was in charge of hunting demons for the Xia Family.
"Elder Mingchun, you’re here," seeing Xia Mingchun, Xia Lalan immediately bowed in greeting before speaking to him.
"Lanlan, have you seen the children? Also, have you seen the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger?" Xia Mingchun looked at Xia Lalan and immediately asked anxiously. It was normal for Xia Lalan to be out looking for the children since she was their teacher. He had just heard some noise over here and rushed over with the Demon Hunting Team, wanting to know what had happened.
"Elder Mingchun, the children are fine. The Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger has been killed!" Upon hearing Xia Mingchun’s words, Xia Lalan blurted out what had happened. She was still thinking about Lin Feng, and her response was almost subconscious.
"What? The Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger has been killed... How is that possible? Who killed it?" Xia Mingchun was stunned by Xia Lalan’s words. He had never anticipated such an outcome, as only a master of the Infinitesimal Realm could have killed the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger, and he had not heard of any other masters in the family who were out and about except for him!
"When I got here, the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger was already dead, and its body had been taken away by Lin Feng and the children. As for exactly what happened, I didn’t see," said Xia Lalan, recounting what she had witnessed. Indeed, she hadn’t seen anything. When she arrived, she had only seen Lin Feng holding the fallen Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger. She had no idea how Lin Feng had killed it.
"Impossible!"
"How can this be?"
...
The members of the Demon Hunting Team were shocked upon hearing Xia Lalan’s words, each of them standing there dumbfounded, doubting their own ears. A mortal from the Secular World killing an Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger that had a beast age of two to three hundred years and the strength of the Transcendent Realm Peak was simply unbelievable. Even the number one master from the Secular World wouldn’t be enough to fill the gaps between the tiger’s teeth! They couldn’t believe that a mortal could face and kill the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger...
"I can’t believe it either, but it’s all true. Just look around and you’ll understand," Xia Lalan said, voicing her opinion as she saw the stunned faces around her. She also couldn’t believe it was true, but it was. Lin Feng had indeed killed the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger. Whether they believed it or not, it had already happened.
Having heard Xia Lalan’s words, Xia Mingchun and the others then took a closer look at their surroundings. Seeing the mess all around, they realized that there must have been a fierce battle here. Besides Lin Feng, there were only some children. If it wasn’t Lin Feng who killed the tiger, who else could it be!
However, they found it really hard to accept this outcome. Their Demon Hunting Team might not have been able to kill the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger in such a short time, yet Lin Feng, a mortal from the Secular World, had done just that, which was a hard pill to swallow for them...
"I remember now, thousands of miles away in the Lost Forest, the two Great Demon Kings have been fighting for some reason recently, affecting the areas below. Otherwise, such a powerful demon beast would not appear around the Xia Family. The Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger must have been injured before! Forget it, Lanlan, come back with us. It’s not safe here. Let’s return to the family first."
Seeing Xia Lalan, Elder Mingchun spoke his thoughts indifferently. If Lin Feng had indeed killed the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger, it could only mean that the tiger was injured. Otherwise, not even an Immortal like Lin Feng could have killed it. So it was unnecessary to fret over these matters. After speaking, he took Xia Lalan and the rest of the Demon Hunting Team back to the Xia Family.
Xia Lalan did not object and followed the Demon Hunting Team back to the Xia Family. However, in her heart, she felt that something was not quite right; she had this feeling that Lin Feng was not as simple as he seemed...
...
Lin Feng led the children back to the resting area for the younger group. The children were so tired they were almost collapsing. Only after Lin Feng’s command did they throw the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger’s body on the ground and began to gasp for air. The tiger weighed thousands of pounds, and it was hard for them to believe that just a few of them could carry it back.
"Wait here and rest for a while. I will concoct some medicine for you now, and then you will meditate and cultivate!" Lin Feng said, watching the children. Although he had roughly treated the children’s injuries in the forest, he had not eradicated the hidden dangers. To ensure the children’s future development, it was necessary to completely remove any hidden issues.
Having said that, Lin Feng turned around and began to concoct medicine for the children. There were plenty of medical herbs in the room, so it was easy for him. In no time at all, he finished preparing the medicine.
Then he discarded the previously ruined batch of medicine dregs and began crafting elixirs for the children. Time swiftly passed by.
In less than an hour, several elixirs had been crafted by Lin Feng, causing Xia Jianping and the other children to stare in astonishment. They had not expected Teacher Lin’s alchemy speed to be so incredible now. However, they had gradually become accustomed to Teacher Lin’s myriad of wonders and were only slightly surprised. They immediately took the elixirs that Lin Feng handed to them and swallowed them down.
After swallowing the elixirs, the children immediately sat on the ground, began to circulate their Cultivation Techniques, earnestly dissolving the medicinal power, and started their cultivation process...
At first, they didn’t feel anything, but as the medicinal power dissipated, they felt their injuries begin to heal at an indescribable pace. At the same time, the medicine seemed to imbue them with a powerful strength, causing their True Qi to boil!
It was incredible!
They had to seize this opportunity!
...
Now, the children from the Xia Family, including Xia Jianping, were utterly astonished by Lin Feng. They had not anticipated that the Elixirs Lin Feng concocted for them could be so miraculous, capable of healing injuries while also enhancing their strength. They were ecstatic and immediately focused on their cultivation, soon entering a meditative state.
Time flew by, and an hour later, the children had all undergone changes. In just that hour, they had made enormous progress. The areas they had not understood before had become crystal clear. Although their strength hadn’t broken through yet, their advancement was something they couldn’t have achieved in months of training!
"Teacher Lin, it’s incredible!"
"Teacher Lin, I’m about to break through!"
...
The children opened their eyes and looked at Lin Feng, so excited they didn’t know what to say. A single Elixir had not only healed their injuries but significantly improved their strength! It was truly unbelievable; they had never heard of such miraculous medicine!
"Good, each of you is lively now. First, exchange that Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger for herbs. After that, carry two stone weights and start running. I’ll come to check on you in half an hour," Lin Feng said, nodding at how energetic the children had become. He immediately gave them their next task. Now that they were better, of course, they had to continue training. He had to push their potential if they were to improve their strength faster.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the children lost their smiles, promptly responding and dashing out. Together, they lifted the Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Tiger from the courtyard and sprinted toward the pharmacy. Lin Feng had only given them half an hour, including the time to exchange for herbs. It was such a tight timeline, and they didn’t want to fall foul of Lin Feng’s strict rules. Just the thought of Lin Feng’s fingers made their scalps tingle!
"It looks like it was still a bit light. Next time, I should try a different method." Watching the children heft the Demon Beast and run off, Lin Feng shook his head with a faint smile and muttered to himself before turning back to continue creating Elixirs for them.
...
After Xia Lalan returned, she couldn’t help feeling uneasy watching Xia Jianwu and the other children train. Something didn’t seem right to her. Lin Feng was a persistent man and was likely to keep sending the children into the forest for trials.
This feeling made her quite conflicted. She couldn’t focus on watching Xia Jianping and the others train, pondering whether she should tell Lin Feng about the two Great Demons clashing. After all, it was a significant event. If Lin Feng sent the children to the forest again, the previous danger could easily recur, and she really didn’t want to see the children get into trouble again.
But as she hesitated, she saw Xia Jianping and the others appear on the training ground, each carrying two stone weights and running desperately. Their all-out effort seemed almost insane, a frightening sight to behold.
Were they all crazy?
Seeing this, Xia Lalan was stunned. The children had been so severely injured in the forest before, all internal injuries, yet now they suddenly seemed full of life. It was too unbelievable. Even if Lin Feng had healed their wounds, they should rest for a bit!
Thinking this, Xia Lalan felt she really needed to have a serious talk with Lin Feng. Such life-and-death training, especially since their injuries hadn’t fully healed, was not good for the children. After making up her mind, she instructed Xia Jianping and the others to focus on their cultivation and then hurried off to find Lin Feng. She couldn’t delay any longer; she didn’t want anything else happening to the children.
When Xia Lalan arrived at Lin Feng’s residence, he had just finished refining a batch of Elixirs. Seeing Xia Lalan come in, he too was surprised, wondering to himself, what was bringing her over again?
