Chapter 1012 - 958: Enchanted?
Inside the Martial Arts Treasury!
Qin Feiyang headed straight for the second layer.
There was a tightly closed stone door on the second layer.
In the center of the stone door was a groove, shaped exactly like the Identity Token.
Qin Feiyang held the Identity Token and pressed it into the groove.
Buzz!
Immediately.
The Identity Token radiated a brilliant light.
The next moment, accompanied by a low rumbling sound, the stone door slowly opened.
Qin Feiyang put away the Identity Token and walked inside.
The second layer was just like the first, with shelves neatly lining all four walls, each holding countless stone boxes.
Beside him was a staircase.
This was the entrance to the Third Layer, also with a tightly closed stone door.
"Back so soon?"
As Qin Feiyang was about to take out the Jade Slip, a familiar voice reached his ears.
"Hm?"
Qin Feiyang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful figure standing in a corner, smiling at him.
"Chu Xuan?"
Qin Feiyang was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "I didn’t expect to meet you again, it seems we really are fated."
"Hehe."
Chu Xuan smiled faintly and asked, "How did you fare at White Tiger Mountain?"
"Not bad."
Qin Feiyang chuckled and said, "And you? Did you find the battle techniques you wanted?"
"No."
"Since returning from White Tiger Mountain, this is the third time I’ve been here, but the best technique I got was just a middle-grade auxiliary battle technique."
Chu Xuan looked disappointed.
"Don’t lose heart, you’ll find it eventually."
Qin Feiyang comforted, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, have you mentioned my presence at White Tiger Mountain to anyone?"
"No!"
"Why do you ask?"
Chu Xuan was puzzled.
"Just asking, no reason."
Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile and then walked to the center of the second layer, scanning the stone boxes on the shelves.
Chu Xuan also turned around, looking at several stone boxes on the shelf in front of her, hesitating, unsure which one to pick.
Suddenly.
She turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "Why don’t you help me choose?"
"Me?"
Qin Feiyang appeared surprised.
Chu Xuan sighed, "I really don’t have any confidence in myself. Don’t worry, even if you help me choose a lower-class technique, I won’t blame you."
Qin Feiyang stepped to Chu Xuan’s side, looking at those stone boxes, also hesitating to make a decision.
"It’s okay, just pick one."
Chu Xuan laughed.
Qin Feiyang glanced at her; although she seemed relaxed, he could tell she was quite nervous.
"How about this one!"
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Feiyang pointed to a stone box.
Chu Xuan looked at the stone box and asked, "Are you sure?"
"This is based on luck; there’s no need to hesitate."
Qin Feiyang laughed, then grabbed the stone box and handed it to Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan bit her lip, took the stone box, and immediately opened the lid.
As the lid opened, Chu Xuan vanished from Qin Feiyang’s sight.
Only Qin Feiyang remained on the second layer.
Qin Feiyang quickly took out the Jade Slip containing the Soul Refining Technique, then released it, allowing it to float in the air.
After about ten breaths of time passed.
The Jade Slip suddenly moved on its own, flying toward a shelf on the left.
"It really works?"
Qin Feiyang was taken aback and quickly followed.
Eventually.
The Jade Slip halted above a stone box.
Qin Feiyang glanced at the stone box, hesitated slightly, then reached out to grab the stone box and opened the lid.
Inside the stone box lay a Jade Slip, quietly.
"What’s going on?"
Qin Feiyang was astonished—not by the Jade Slip, but by the fact that opening the stone box didn’t get him expelled from the Martial Arts Treasury?
Could it be that Elder Wang gave him a special privilege?
Thinking carefully, that explanation seemed to be the only logical one.
He then set aside this question, took the Jade Slip, and immersed his mind into it.
A moment later.
A brilliant light flashed in his eyes.
The battle technique within this Jade Slip was indeed the second part of the Soul Refining Technique!
"It didn’t deceive me!"
Qin Feiyang beamed with joy, put away the Jade Slip, and walked toward the Third Layer.
...
Outside.
Elder Wang had already returned.
The disciples who had mocked Qin Feiyang earlier were still standing in the plaza.
Chu Xuan was there too.
At the moment, she was holding a Jade Slip, her beautiful face full of joy.
Elder Wang glanced at her in confusion for a moment, then smiled and said, "Looks like you finally got the battle technique you wanted."
Chu Xuan didn’t answer, instead stepping forward to hand the stone box to Elder Wang, while she kept the Jade Slip.
Elder Wang shook his head and smiled, not pressing further.
Whoosh!
Just then.
With a sound of something cutting through the air, a red-clothed woman appeared in front of Elder Wang.
The woman was beautifully attractive, her clothing somewhat transparent, her skin partly visible, making her appear seductive and alluring.
She had a pleasant fragrance about her.
"Who is she?"
"Such an unfamiliar face."
"Her aura is strong too, she must be a War Saint."
Chu Xuan and the other disciples looked at the red-clothed woman with surprise and curiosity.
The red-clothed woman glanced over at Chu Xuan and the others, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, her demeanor exceedingly arrogant.
She then turned to Elder Wang, bowing and saying, "Greetings, Elder Wang."
"What are you doing at the Martial Arts Treasury?"
Elder Wang was taken aback and asked, clearly recognizing this woman.
"Listen to you! Are disciples from the holy land not allowed to enter the Martial Arts Treasury?"
The woman said with a charming smile, her eyes naturally carrying a hint of allure.
"She’s actually a holy land disciple!"
Chu Xuan and the others trembled at the thought, a trace of reverence and envy appearing on their faces.
Elder Wang looked at the woman in red with a loving gaze, though not obvious, and smiled, "Of course you can, go on in!"
"Alright."
The woman in red nodded with a proud smile and headed toward the entrance of the tower.
Once the woman in red entered the Martial Arts Treasury, Elder Wang turned to Chu Xuan and the others, saying, "Don’t be envious; as long as you work hard, you’ll also enter the holy land one day."
The group immediately clenched their fists, determination flashing in their eyes.
...
As for Qin Feiyang.
At this moment, he had already reached the tenth floor.
In other words, the Soul Refinement Technique was only missing this final part.
He felt very excited.
Enhancing spiritual power is more important to an Alchemist than obtaining a Divine Art.
He opened the stone door of the tenth floor.
The contribution value in his Identity Token was finally depleted.
Compared to the previous nine floors, more than half of the stone boxes on this tenth floor were missing.
Only around a thousand or so remained.
The stone boxes were mostly covered with a layer of dust.
Apparently, very few people ventured to this tenth floor.
Qin Feiyang walked to the center and casually picked up a jade slip of the Soul Refinement Technique.
Since the ten jade slips he had taken apart were interconnected, there was no need to specifically take out the one from the first floor.
Time passed gradually.
This time, the sensing took a bit longer.
After about twenty breaths.
The jade slip flew toward a shelf in front, finally stopping above the third stone box on the second shelf.
Qin Feiyang hurried over, put away the jade slip, and was about to grab the stone box.
Bang!
Just then.
The stone door of the tenth floor opened again.
"Hmm?"
Qin Feiyang turned his head suspiciously and saw a woman in red swiftly entering.
"What a formidable presence!"
Qin Feiyang’s pupils contracted.
This woman’s aura was actually on par with Yan Wei!
You have to know.
Yan Wei was a Nine-Star War Saint, just a step away from becoming a War Emperor.
This meant this woman was also a Nine-Star War Saint!
The woman in red naturally saw Qin Feiyang too. She gave him a charming smile and then walked straight toward him.
"What’s going on?"
Qin Feiyang wondered.
Could it be that this woman was there to find him?
But that was not the case!
The woman in red walked up next to Qin Feiyang without saying a word, glanced at the shelf in front of her, and directly reached out with her slender jade hand to grab a stone box.
"Wait."
Qin Feiyang was stunned and hurriedly spoke.
Because the stone box the woman in red grabbed was the tenth part of the Soul Refinement Technique.
However, instead of letting go, the woman in red held onto the stone box and then turned to Qin Feiyang, smiling charmingly, "You must be Ancestor Mu, right?"
"I am."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
The woman in red raised her other hand, hooking Qin Feiyang’s chin, and smiled charmingly, "Your looks aren’t much, so why is your talent so outstanding?"
"Was I being flirted with?"
This was Qin Feiyang’s first reaction.
The woman’s behavior was frivolous, with eyes full of allure and sexy red lips, her body fragrance intoxicating—she was truly a rare beauty.
Even Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but feel a surge of wicked fire, assaulting his mind.
He shook his head forcefully and slapped at the woman’s wrist.
As his skin touched the woman’s, he couldn’t help but shiver.
Her skin was so smooth and so tender.
He even uncontrollably gripped the woman’s wrist, unwilling to let go, as if he were bewitched.
"Heh heh!"
"Little brother, have you already fallen for sister so quickly?"
The woman covered her mouth and laughed, her body trembling with an indescribable charm and allure.
Qin Feiyang was so enchanted that he couldn’t help but be in a daze.
The woman leaned forward, whispering in Qin Feiyang’s ear as she breathed a warm breath, "If you want the jade slip inside the stone box, come find me at the Dragon Phoenix Building tonight."
Saying that.
The woman gently broke free from Qin Feiyang’s large hand, then grabbed another stone box, opened it instantly, and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing Qin Feiyang again.
He stood there motionless, seemingly still immersed in the woman’s allure, his eyes filled with infatuation.
"How could this happen?"
After about ten breaths.
He suddenly shook himself and snapped back to reality, his face full of bewilderment.
The woman in red was indeed very beautiful.
But he had seen many beautiful women.
Especially the Mermaid Princess, with her unparalleled beauty and elegance, yet even when facing her, he had never been so captivated.
Yet now, with this woman in red just teasing him slightly, he couldn’t help but be tempted. How bizarre is this?
"Damn, the jade slip!"
Suddenly.
Qin Feiyang’s expression changed, grabbing a stone box from the shelf and immediately opening it.
The next moment.
He appeared in the square in front of the Martial Arts Treasury.
"Senior Brother Mu..."
The disciples who had laughed at Qin Feiyang earlier all swarmed over.
"Get lost!"
Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow and shouted.
Their necks shrunk, and they quickly retreated to the side.
Qin Feiyang didn’t have the mood to deal with them now. He glanced around the square, finding no trace of the woman in red, then hurriedly looked up toward the sky.
But in the sky, he also didn’t see the woman in red.
