After Liu Wuxiang left, Qin Feng did not return to his room to cultivate; instead, he paced back and forth in the courtyard a few tis before sitting beneath the osmanthus tree, lost in thought.
He had not expected the news of his acceptance as a disciple to spread so widely, creating such a stir. If it had simply been a matter of talk, it would have been fine, but it attracted the attention of talented disciples from the other peaks of the Outer Sect, even stirring up thoughts of challenge among them—that was troubling.
Soone must be plotting behind the scenes!
Qin Feng thought that perhaps soone wanted to strike at him for their own benefit, or perhaps his apprenticeship had coincidentally beco a shield for so people to act in secret.
However, no matter the intent of those behind the scenes, they had undoubtedly caused him great distress.
Especially when the ti ca for the Outer Sect competition, he could already foresee the scenario where many would challenge him.
Of course, those truly top-level geniuses probably wouldn't do so.
Top talents have their pride; moreover, they had no need to gain fa by defeating him, as their reputations were already significant. For talents like them, the elders of each peak had surely arranged for their entry into the Inner Sect and they needn't worry about finding a master.
Only Qin Feng, who had risen to prominence abruptly and whose strength remained untested by others, might normally arouse the thought of challenge.
Beside him, the Swallowing Sky Toad was using all four limbs to slowly crawl, its small webbed feet clutching Qin Feng's pant leg as it climbed onto his thigh and comfortably settled down.
Qin Feng stroked its sleek skin with one hand, while his other hand absentmindedly tapped on the stone table. After pondering for a while, he burst out laughing.
"Is it just a challenge? What is there to worry about? Those who have been in the sect for so long without progressing to the Inner Sect now think to gain fa by challenging ; it's fascinating that such disciples dare to call themselves geniuses. Truly laughable."
In his view, those who wished to challenge him could at most be considered talents with decent aptitude, but they were far from being true geniuses; otherwise, why would they need to seek attention through challenging him?
If they were truly geniuses, they would have already been recognized and reported by the peak masters and elders, and the elders of the Inner Sect branches would have pre-arranged their ntorships.
Having resolved these issues, Qin Feng put aside all concerns, picked up the Swallowing Sky Toad, and strode out of the courtyard gate.
Along the way, he encountered many disciples whose expressions were complex, their hearts filled with either envy or jealousy. However, being disciples from the sa peak, those acquainted with him still approached and complinted him, congratulating Qin Feng on catching the eye of the Great Elder of the Spiritual Snake lineage.
Disciples of the Spiritual Snake Peak were generally much more composed compared to those from other peaks.
Even if so harbored jealousy, they dared not rashly challenge Qin Feng, as they were all disciples of the Spiritual Snake lineage and wouldn't want to recklessly offend the Great Elder's authority.
A gentle smile appeared on Qin Feng's face, looking no different than usual. After greeting the crowd, he rode the Spiritual Vulture towards the Mountain Gate.
He planned to go to the market to purchase so spiritual objects that would aid in refining his body, aiming to further enhance his strength before the grand competition.
As soon as he left, the nearby disciples imdiately began discussing.
Many wore expressions of both envy and emotion, especially those disciples of the sa batch who had joined the Spiritual Snake Peak; they regretted not having befriended Qin Feng better. Perhaps then, they could have gained familiarity in front of so elders and maybe even caught an elder's eye.
Of course, there was much lantation as well. They had entered the sect at the sa ti as Qin Feng, yet now Qin Feng had already reached Foundation Establishnt, while most of them were still mingling in the early to mid-stages of Qi Refinent, with only a few in the late stage, who mostly ca from Noble Heirs.
Because the Noble Heirs ca from families much more powerful than small clans like the Qin Family, they were used to others seeking to befriend them and disdained to take the initiative to befriend those who were inferior, so they were not familiar with Qin Feng either.
Qin Feng paid no mind to what those disciples were discussing behind his back. Riding the Spiritual Vulture, he flew straight to Qingyun Square.
This ti, he did not go to the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion.
While the expertise of the Beast Taming Sect was in taming Spiritual Beasts, in other areas, they were not as proficient as those sects that specialized in a single field.
For instance, Artifact Refining. In the Southern Domain, the most famous was the Divine Weapon Family, where each cultivator of the family was proficient in the thods of refining various magical treasures. Any family mber who couldn't independently refine a qualified magical treasure was not recognized as a formal mber of the clan.
Legend even had it that every generation's successor of the clan leader of the Divine Weapon Family had to refine an Immortal Artifact before they could take the position, otherwise they would rather leave it vacant until so successor t the requirents.
On the other hand, artifact refiners of the Beast Taming Sect preferred to refine various magic artifacts from various demon materials, and their skills diminished without these materials.
Similarly, in terms of Alchemy, the most famous in the Southern Domain was the Danxia Sect. Although other sects and even Loose Cultivators also had many Alchemy Masters, Danxia Sect was the most renowned.
However, the alchemists trained by the Beast Taming Sect specialized in refining Elixir Pills that enhanced the strength of Spiritual Beasts, not Spirit Pills intended for human consumption.
Qin Feng wished to purchase Miracle dicine that could accelerate his Foundation Establishnt, but had no desire to treat his Physical Body like a Spiritual Beast, as it could not bear such violent dicinal power.
So, this ti he directly went to the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion set up by the Danxia Sect in the market.
Although the prices offered by the Danxia Sect were more expensive for ordinary Cultivators, Qin Feng believed that the high cost was justified. Not only could the Danxia Sect guarantee the quality of their Elixir Pills, but their effects were also exceptional. They would never tarnish their own reputation by selling inferior quality Elixir Pills.
Moreover, doing business in front of other factions' forces made it even more crucial not to spoil their reputation.
"What would you like, young friend?"
He was greeted by a middle-aged Manager.
This Manager, also at the Foundation Establishnt Late Stage, had a faint fragrance of Elixir Pills on him, clearly soone who dealt with various Spirit Pills year-round; otherwise, his body would not have been imbued with so much fragrance from the Elixir Pills.
"Daoist Fellow is welco."
Qin Feng raised his hand in return, "I plan to buy so Elixir Pills for body tempering. May I know if you have any recomndations?"
"Oh?"
The middle-aged Manager looked at Qin Feng a few tis upon hearing this.
His gaze was not sharp but rather gentle, which did not give one the feeling of being scrutinized.
After sensing the aura emanating from Qin Feng, he said, "Judging from your aura, young friend, you have established your foundation not long ago. However, your aura is pure, clearly indicating a solid foundation and very refined True Yuan.
This is good, as it can save quite so ti in cultivation and spare many Spirit Pills needed for purifying True Yuan. According to your current situation, I recomnd the second-grade superior Body Tempering Pill, Blood Swapping Pill, and Heart Cleansing Pill. Furthermore, if you are not short of Spirit Stones, you can also pair these with our Danxia Sect's unique Body Tempering Spirit Liquid for cultivation.
This Body Tempering Spirit Liquid is concocted by our Danxia Sect from Nine Heavens Dew blended with ninety-nine types of Spiritual dicine. It has miraculous effects on Foundation Establishnt Cultivators in refining their Taoist Body. Combined with the other Elixir Pills, it could increase your body tempering speed by tenfold."
"Is it that powerful?"
Qin Feng was sowhat surprised.
"Hehe, rest assured, young friend. Our Danxia Sect has always been truthful about the effects of our Elixir Pills and never exaggerates their efficacy to deceive others in business."
The middle-aged Manager said, "Besides, we are currently on the land of the Beast Taming Sect, and you are a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. We certainly won't cause any trouble. This Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion has been operated in Qingyun Square for thousands of years without ever having swindled a single disciple from the Beast Taming Sect."
Qin Feng nodded, "The reputation of the Danxia Sect is well-regarded in the Southern Domain. I am not questioning it; I am just surprised that the Danxia Sect could refine such effective treasures."
"Hehe, our Danxia Sect uses Elixir Pills as a path to attain Dao. We always strive for perfection in our Elixir Pills, naturally aiming for the strongest effects possible. When it cos to Elixir Pills that refine the Taoist Body, only the Giant Spirit Sect's Qi Blood Pool and the War God Palace's Nine Revolutions Body Refining Golden Pill can compare with ours."
At this point, the middle-aged Manager appeared quite pleased with himself.
"Young friend, feel free to look around at which Spirit Pills you need. If you find these a bit pricey, I have so more reasonably priced Spirit Pills here as well."
"No need. I'll take the ones you ntioned earlier."
Qin Feng shook his head and directly said, "Also, add so of that Body Tempering Spirit Liquid."
"Young friend is straightforward."
Pleased with his response, the Manager asked, "How much would you like? The Body Tempering Pill is two hundred Spirit Stones per bottle, Blood Swapping Pill one hundred eighty per bottle, and the Heart Cleansing Pill is a bit more expensive at three hundred per pill. However, this Elixir Pill does not need to be taken frequently; once every ten days or half a month is sufficient.
As for the Body Tempering Spirit Liquid, since it is quite complicated to concoct and extrely potent, it costs even more at one thousand Spirit Stones per bottle."
"How many tis can one bottle of Body Tempering Spirit Liquid be used?"
"Ten tis."
Qin Feng grimaced, so each use would consu more than a hundred Spirit Stones.ufreqистely ?>>
