Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Accidentally Created a New Record_1
In a stone chamber.
Qin Feiyang was sitting cross-legged on a cushion.
Three ters ahead stood a stone pillar, upon which a palm-sized, transparent Crystal Stone was placed.
Feng Cheng and the old man in black stood beside the stone pillar.
Feng Cheng asked, "Jian Haotian, do you know what this Crystal Stone is?"
Qin Feiyang pondered for a mont and then asked, "Is it a ditation stone?"
"Correct."
Feng Cheng nodded. "Since you know what a ditation stone is, I won’t waste words. Calm your mind and slowly gather your spiritual power. Old Mo, let’s go outside and guard him. We must prevent those brats from coming in and causing trouble."
The two left the ditation room one after the other, closing the stone door behind them.
Qin Feiyang turned his gaze towards the ditation stone on the pillar, searching for mories deep within his soul.
Although I’ve never dabbled in alchemy before, I know the basics. Spiritual power cos in two forms. The first is formless, just like my current spiritual power—invisible and intangible. The second is tangible. Tangible spiritual power is a substance similar to airflow; it’s visible and can be touched. To transform formless spiritual power into tangible form, I need a ditation stone! The way to use the ditation stone is simply to look at it. However, first, it’s necessary to eliminate distractions, calm the mind, and enter the State of Self-Oblivion, rging with the stone. Any slight distraction will result in failure.
"Phew!"
Letting out a long breath, Qin Feiyang cald his spirit and mind, slowly dissipating the distracting thoughts.
「Outside the ditation room.」
Dozens of people had gathered. They were all disciples of the Elixir Palace.
"Elders, can you let us know what level of spiritual power Jian Haotian possesses?"
"Is it similar to Senior Brother Cheng Yi?"
"I reckon he might be even stronger than Senior Brother Cheng Yi. After all, when Senior Brother Cheng Yi was gathering his spiritual power, the two Elders didn’t personally stand guard for him."
"This kind of treatnt is truly unprecedented, and likely never to be seen again!"
"If that’s the case, does Jian Haotian possess level seven spiritual power?"
A group of youngsters surrounded Feng Cheng and Old Mo, chattering nonstop, their eyes filled with intense curiosity.
Ling Yan was also among them.
Feng Cheng chuckled and scolded, "You bunch of rascals, don’t try to be clever here. I absolutely will not reveal a single word to you."
Disappointnt imdiately clouded the disciples’ eyes.
Ling Yan furrowed his brows and, hiding in the crowd, began to stir things up, "Elder Feng, Jiang Haotian and the rest of us will be fellow disciples soon. Is there really a need to be so secretive?"
"Exactly!"
"Elder Feng, your favoritism is way too obvious!"
"I refuse to believe that Jian Haotian’s spiritual power can reach level eight!"
The crowd grumbled with discontent.
The old man in black frowned and shouted, "Don’t you all have anything better to do? Scram!"
The group of disciples quickly fell silent, and the scene instantly quieted down.
Feng Cheng patted the old man in black on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Alas, Old Mo, don’t be so serious. You’ll scare them."
The old man in black retorted angrily, "And you’re criticizing ? If it weren’t for you always indulging them, would they dare to be so impudent and fool around here?"
"I don’t agree with that. They’re still just children. We should give them plenty of care and make them feel at ho in the Elixir Palace. We shouldn’t be stern-faced and scold them all the ti..."
"Forget it. You’re just an old stick-in-the-mud; you wouldn’t understand even if I explained it."
Once Feng Cheng finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a table appeared from his Qiankun Bag. Then, he smirked at the group of disciples.
"Sa old rules: I’m the banker, you place your bets."
"We’ll bet on how many days it takes for Jian Haotian to gather his spiritual power."
"One day, odds are ten to one."
"Two days, odds are five to one."
"Three days, odds are two to one."
At this mont, he looked exactly like a gambler.
The group of disciples bead, and they started to gather around Feng Cheng.
"Feng Cheng, have you no sha!" Elder Mo roared, his face livid, veins bulging on his forehead.
The disciples froze, wanting to place bets but not daring to approach.
Feng Cheng turned to Elder Mo and said with a frown, "If you can’t stand to watch, then don’t. Nobody’s forcing you, understand?"
"You...!"
"You’re truly shaless for your age! If you keep this up, these disciples’ futures will be ruined by you!"
Elder Mo stord off to the other side, his body trembling with anger. As an Elder of the Elixir Palace, he behaved nothing like one. How utterly improper! It was a complete disgrace to the sect!
"Co, co, don’t mind him! Let’s continue!" Feng Cheng gestured to the disciples.
The disciples exchanged glances but, in the end, couldn’t resist the temptation. They all crowded around and began placing their bets.
Laughter and cheerful chatter filled one side.
On the other side, Elder Mo stood alone before a flower bed, sulking.
"Jian Haotian, you must gather your spiritual power within one day," he muttered to himself.
There was one more rule to this wager. If the person being bet on completed the task ahead of the shortest wagered ti, everyone who bet would lose. All the wagers would then go to the person who was the subject of the bet.
In other words, if Qin Feiyang could gather his spiritual power within one day, then everyone’s bets would land in his pocket. As for the banker, Feng Cheng, he wouldn’t get a single coin.
However, successfully gathering spiritual power within a single day was sothing that had never happened before in the Elixir Palace of Black Bear City.
「Ti passed.」
「An hour later.」
With a BOOM, the stone door slowly opened.
Qin Feiyang strode out, looking invigorated and in high spirits.
Feng Cheng turned around and asked in confusion, "Why have you co out?"
"Isn’t it because you all are too noisy?" Before Qin Feiyang could speak, Elder Mo snorted. He turned to Qin Feiyang and said with a smile, "I’ll make them leave right away. You continue gathering your spiritual power."
Qin Feiyang glanced suspiciously at the two Elders, then at Ling Yan and the others, and suddenly understood. He clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, Elder Mo, but it’s no longer necessary."
Elder Mo frowned. "Why is it no longer necessary? Have you given up?"
Qin Feiyang paused, a peculiar expression on his face.
What would happen if this man knew that the person he was currently concerned about was the sa audacious thief who had raided the herb field? He’d probably kill
on the spot! Therefore, my real identity must not be exposed right now.
Composing himself, Qin Feiyang clasped his hands and said, "Elder, I haven’t given up. It’s because I’ve already gathered my spiritual power."
"Oh, so that’s how it is."
Elder Mo nodded and turned as if to leave, but he suddenly spun back around, staring at Qin Feiyang. "What did you just say? Say it again, quickly!"
Like Elder Mo, Feng Cheng and the group with Ling Yan were initially unconcerned. But the next mont, they all stared fixedly at Qin Feiyang, their faces filled with utter astonishnt!
"Did I accidentally set a new record?" Qin Feiyang murmured. He didn’t realize how astonishing it was to gather spiritual power in just an hour!
"COUGH! COUGH!"
He cleared his throat a few tis, covering his mouth with his fist to suppress his slight excitent. Then, he extended his hand, ready to demonstrate.
