Chapter 1137 - 1135: The Ultimate Cauldron!
"I don’t have anything specific in mind, I just want the three elders to pass on some of their experience to the children and students, and at the same time correct any issues they might have," Lin Feng said indifferently while looking at Xia Lalan. He had no idea what exactly the three old men would teach, but one thing was certain—they wouldn’t mess around and would definitely guide the students in the right direction. If the students could learn what the elders taught, they would benefit greatly.
"Oh, I see, that’s no problem then. I’m always here, so the three elders can come over to teach them whenever they want." As soon as she heard Lin Feng’s words, Xia Lalan understood what he meant. The children lacked experience, so guidance from the elders would surely be beneficial.
"That settles it then. I’ll talk to them about it; they’ve been eager to start already." Hearing Xia Lalan’s agreement, Lin Feng smiled and nodded. Then he took a careful look at Xia Lalan and noticed that her strength was growing rapidly. He casually commented, "Your strength has been increasing quite fast, much faster than normal cultivation would allow."
Lin Feng was also interested in Moyan’s Nine Phoenixes Chanting Heaven Technique and was surprised to see how amazingly fast Xia Lalan’s cultivation was advancing with her Phoenix Cry Physique. Just a few days ago, she had barely reached the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm. Looking at her now, it wouldn’t take long for her to reach the later stage. The speed of her cultivation was truly defying the heavens.
"Yes, I’ve felt it myself, the increase in strength is much faster than before, and I’m even having a bit of trouble adapting. I didn’t expect the Nine Phoenixes Chanting Heaven Technique to be so powerful." Xia Lalan replied happily, smiling back at Lin Feng. The Nine Phoenixes Chanting Heaven Technique was indeed exceptional—it had made up for the years of stagnation in a short time.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Xia Lalan remembered something and asked Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, do you think I should inform my family about my current situation?"
Now that her strength had surged, she regained her confidence and could proudly call herself the most outstanding genius of her family again. She wondered if she should update her family to prevent any potential gossip upon her return to the Xia Family.
"I think it’s better not to inform them for now," Lin Feng replied after a short thought, giving his serious opinion.
"Huh? Why is that? If I don’t tell my family, could there be any trouble later on?" Xia Lalan was surprised by Lin Feng’s response and looked at him, curious about his reasoning.
"What sort of trouble could there be? Your situation now is different from before. Before, everyone knew that your power had stagnated. But now, you’ve regained your power and it’s steadily growing, and your family doesn’t know. You can continue to live as you are now. If you want to give the competition a shot when it’s time, you can inform your family then. After all, your level of power is unquestionable, and you’ll definitely be qualified."
"If you’re not interested in competing for first place in the adult group, then it’s even less of an issue. It’s sufficient for you to know what’s going on. There’s no need to make it known to everyone. You understand the reasons behind this." After hearing Xia Lalan’s words, Lin Feng nodded and explained his thoughts simply. The past was the past, and the present is the present. Without a desire for fame and profit, there’s really no need to make a special point of informing the Xia Family.
"Okay, I understand now. Thank you for the reminder." After listening to Lin Feng, Xia Lalan nodded in thanks for his advice. She now fully understood his meaning; indeed, as Lin Feng said, she used to be very persistent. But now, she didn’t have that same competitive drive. She would be happiest just successfully guiding these children. Yet, if needed for the honour of the Xia Family during the competition, she would definitely not refuse.
So, her current life was good, watching the children train while training herself—she found this life very interesting and much happier than before.
"It’s nothing, I’ll leave this to you, I’m going to go cook." Seeing that Xia Lalan understood his point, Lin Feng nodded, said a quick goodbye and left...
The next morning, the school organized a calligraphy and painting exhibition, and Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei were invited as judges. Neither of them would refuse such an event, so they arrived at the school’s basketball court early to score the exhibition.
With many entries in the exhibition, all the students hoped their works would win awards. Thus, when Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, along with other judges, walked by, everyone introduced their pieces with great earnestness, highlighting how serious the students were about this event.
Zhu Tao stood not far away, vigilantly keeping an eye on the surroundings to prevent any accidents. Given Tianhai’s current turmoil, the protection for the two women had been stepped up...
But even Zhu Tao hadn’t expected that on the rooftop of a teaching building not far away, three people were discussing the events below.
"Boss, someone has been spreading rumors that the disappearance of the Spiritual Energy is related to Lin Feng of Yingbo University. Is this true or false? Why are we here on the rooftop instead of looking for Lin Feng?" Chen Hu, a man of shorter stature dressed in grey casual wear, asked Chen Long, a man of average build in yellow clothing. He couldn’t understand the boss’s intentions.
"Yeah, Boss, I don’t get it either. Why don’t we just find Lin Feng?" Another one, Chen Bao, who was in light blue clothing and well-proportioned, chimed in from the side, equally baffled by their leader’s reasons for bringing them there.
"You two know nothing. I’ve already scouted the area and can confirm one thing for sure: the earlier rumor was false. However, I’ve discovered that there are a few girls in this school with exceptionally fine bodies, perfect for cultivating into top-grade cauldrons. Now you understand why I brought you here, right?"
Chen Long reprimanded his two disappointing brothers. They had initially planned to leave Tianhai City, but a rumor surprisingly led him to discover several top-grade cauldrons, which delighted him immensely. Even without encountering the rumored thing out at sea, this harvest alone was enough.
"What, top-grade cauldrons!"
"Boss, where are they? Let’s go catch them, those are top-grade cauldrons!"
Upon hearing their eldest brother say this, Chen Hu and Chen Bao’s eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. Top-grade cauldrons were extremely rare, and possessing one would certainly result in a rapid surge in strength. It was more valuable than any relic or treasure. They had never expected to find such cauldrons in a university, and this surprise was incredibly welcome!
"Aren’t they right below us? You’ve seen them, right? Those two most beautiful ones. How about it, top-grade, right? Such high-quality cauldrons are rare even in the Hidden World." Chen Long looked down at Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei with eyes filled with greed. He rarely encountered such top-quality individuals, and was surprised to find them in the Secular World. The thought made him itch with desire.
"Why not just go down and abduct those two women? What are we waiting for?"
"Exactly, Boss, look how radiant those two women are. It must be exhilarating!"
Chen Hu and Chen Bao followed their elder brother’s pointing finger and looked down. They indeed saw two exceptionally beautiful women, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, which made their eyes shine with eagerness. They couldn’t wait to leap down from the floor above and take away the two beauties. Such stunning women were a rare find, and it would be nonsensical not to seize the opportunity when presented.
"It’s not as simple as that. Have you noticed that Transcendent Realm middle-stage master by the wall? With such a master protecting the two women, there must be something unusual about them. I’ve heard that they’re backed by the formidable Lin Feng. If we make a move here rashly and get entangled with them, our enemies will notice if they discover us, and you know what the outcome would be without me having to say it."
At this point, Chen Long looked at his brothers and explained to them the reasons for not taking action immediately. It wasn’t the right time to make a move, considering their notable identities and numerous enemies. Taking action in such a crowded place would draw unwanted attention, which would be foolish.
"So what do we do, Boss?"
"Yeah, it’s so tempting just watching!"
Chen Hu and Chen Bao nodded in agreement with their elder brother’s words, but they couldn’t help feeling an itch in their hearts at the sight of Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, yearning to take away the two attractive women immediately.
"No worries, just wait a bit. We’ll find the right moment to act. Besides, if we capture them, let’s not leave right away. We can try to extort something valuable, and only after we get our hands on the goodies will we take the two women and leave. We can’t just come to Tianhai for nothing; otherwise, we’d be at a huge loss."
Hearing the younger brothers’ eagerness to act, Chen Long immediately laid out his thoughts. This trip to Tianhai could not be in vain; it would be great to take something valuable with them when they left. As for the two women, he had no intention of letting them go—such high-quality cauldrons were not something he would willingly give up.
"Boss, you’re remarkable; what a brilliant idea!"
"Just don’t know if these Secular World people have anything good. Boss, your idea is awesome!"
Upon hearing their eldest brother’s words, the two brothers were excited and looked at Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei with even more blatantly covetous gazes, as if they were stripping the girls bare with their eyes...
Meanwhile, the other Loose Cultivators in Tianhai City who had heard the rumors mostly ignored them, considering them nothing more than untrustworthy hearsay. Nevertheless, some discontented individuals wanted to find out the truth but were stopped by their elder kin. The reasoning was simple: Yingbo University harbored entities incomparable even to their seniors!
In the end, these Loose Cultivators could only glance in the direction of Yingbo University and leave with regret. They too were human and did not wish to meet their end in confusion...
