Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

The Profound Eagles swallowed the pills and all quieted down.

After a full hour, one of the Profound Eagles opened its eyes.

It blinked, looking toward Ling Fei. At first, its eyes held a trace of confusion, but a mere instant later, they became much more alert. The violent aura it previously had was gone. It seemed the Spirit Awakening Pill had truly unlocked the Profound Eagle's Spiritual Wisdom, dispelling some of its ignorance.

Then, the Profound Eagle that had consumed the second pill also opened its eyes.

This Profound Eagle's gaze was also confused at first, but it soon blinked its eyes, hopped over, and arrived at Ling Fei's feet.

SCREE!

Its cry rang out.

It was actually showing goodwill toward Ling Fei. In this state, it was like a completely different eagle from before.

Ling Fei gently stroked the Profound Eagle's head. It was very well-behaved and docile, as if it knew that the young man before it was the one who had unlocked its Spiritual Wisdom.

Next, the third Profound Eagle opened its eyes and also gathered around Ling Fei.

The fourth followed suit, each one appearing more spiritually aware than the last.

The fourth one in particular even knew to nuzzle its head against Ling Fei's leg.

A scene like this would have been absolutely impossible before they took the Spirit Awakening Pills.

'It seems the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern really does have the effect of dispelling ignorance and unlocking Spiritual Wisdom.' Seeing this, a glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes as he mused to himself, 'This Spirit Awakening Pill should also be useful for Human Race Cultivators, right?' He pondered this. Back when he first merged with the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern, he had also felt his own Heart Spirit become much clearer.

Now, Ling Fei's cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds, and his comprehension ability surpassed that of ordinary people.

'I should have Xiaoman and Mu Xue try it.' The thought occurred to Ling Fei.

Next, he refined six more Spirit Awakening Pills, giving them to Huang Xiaoman and Mu Xue.

The remaining four were given to the four Medicine Attendants.

These Medicine Attendants' talent was slightly inferior to Huang Xiaoman's and Mu Xue's.

If they showed significant improvement after taking the pills, it would be enough to prove the pills' miraculous effects.

"What kind of pill is this?" Holding the pills, both Huang Xiaoman and Mu Xue were filled with anticipation.

The previous pills had already made them feel an improvement in their Swordsmanship. If they improved just one more step, they could condense a Sword Dao Mystical Seed.

"This is a type of Spirit Pill that can clarify one's Heart Spirit. Take it and see what the effects are," Ling Fei said simply.

"Okay!" Huang Xiaoman nodded. She trusted Ling Fei completely.

Mu Xue didn't hesitate either, entering a Cultivation Room with Huang Xiaoman to take the pill.

The other four Medicine Attendants also took and swallowed their pills without much hesitation.

Two hours later, everyone came out one after another.

"Well?" Ling Fei asked. "How do you feel?"

"I feel like my Heart Spirit is clear, and it seems even thinking has become easier," Huang Xiaoman said, a little excitedly.

At that moment, she felt as if a layer of fog had been lifted from her soul, making her see the world in a completely different way.

The feeling was incredibly profound.

"Young Master, I feel like I've gotten smarter. I've figured out many things I didn't understand before," one of the Medicine Attendants next to her said.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Just like that, for some inexplicable reason, they all felt they had become smarter.

"Only with a clear Heart Spirit can you see the profound mysteries within things. It's normal for you to improve," Ling Fei said. "Now, go comprehend some of the Martial Arts you couldn't grasp before and see if you can make progress." He, too, was eager to verify the full extent of the pill's effects.

"Yes!" the Medicine Attendant nodded.

"I feel like my understanding of the Sword Dao has become much clearer. This is a perfect time to test it out," Huang Xiaoman said, her face flush with excitement.

And so, the six of them immediately returned to their respective Cultivation Rooms and began to cultivate in seclusion.

In just seven days, Huang Xiaoman condensed her Sword Dao Mystical Seed.

In addition, Mu Xue also succeeded in condensing her Sword Dao Mystical Seed.

Even the four Medicine Attendants advanced by leaps and bounds in their Martial Arts, with one of them even stepping into the Small Primordial Pill Realm.

"I broke through!"

"My comprehension of Martial Arts has improved! For some reason, all kinds of Martial Arts seem to have gotten simpler!"

For a time, all six of them were incredibly excited, coming one by one to report the good news to Ling Fei.

'It seems the Spirit Awakening Pill has a huge effect on Cultivators as well.' Ling Fei nodded slightly.

Although it was related to their long-term accumulation, without the Spirit Awakening Pill, it was hard to say how long it would have taken them to break through.

"Ling Fei, what in the world is this Divine Pill?!" Huang Xiaoman and Mu Xue were both ecstatic.

Now that they had condensed their Sword Dao Mystical Seeds, they could continue comprehending the Sword Dao Mystical.

At that rate, forget the Profound Pill Realm—they even had a chance of reaching the Celestial Pill Realm.

"Heh, this type of pill is very precious. I went to a lot of trouble to get it from the Peak Master. Don't you dare tell anyone else," Ling Fei said mysteriously.

"Mm," Huang Xiaoman nodded.

Mu Xue's face was full of gratitude, but she didn't know what to say.

She would never be able to forget Ling Fei's kindness.

Without Ling Fei, she knew it would have been far too difficult for her to improve so quickly.

"As long as you cultivate diligently, you can definitely become powerful experts in the future," Ling Fei said encouragingly.

Everyone nodded, filled with hope for the future.

Even the four Medicine Attendants felt the same and went off to test their new gains.

Ling Fei, however, was still trying to continuously comprehend the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern, hoping to condense an even more complete Spirit Awakening Mystical Pattern to inscribe upon his pills.

Of course, Ling Fei didn't skimp on guiding them during this time either.

...

DONG!

On this day, the sound of a bell rang out, shaking the heavens and reaching every peak within the Lingyun Sect.

When the sound rang out, Cultivators throughout the Lingyun Sect pushed open their doors and stepped outside.

'This is the Sect's summoning bell.' Inside his Cultivation Room, a glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes as he opened them.

'Calculating the time, it has been three months since the last tournament. This bell must be to gather the Sect's geniuses to go to the North Spirit Ancient Land for the Southern Wilderness's inter-sect tournament.' At this thought, the blood in Ling Fei's veins began to boil. 'The Southern Wilderness's inter-sect tournament... the day has finally come!'

He shot to his feet.

As long as he distinguished himself in the tournament, he could enter the North Spirit Ruins to search for opportunities.

Inside, there were Alchemy Dao inheritances and numerous Pill Furnaces.

There were even Spiritual Soldiers, Spirit Medicines...

In short, the North Spirit Ruins represented a massive opportunity that absolutely could not be missed.

At once, Ling Fei pushed open his door and walked out.

After giving some instructions to his Medicine Attendants, Ling Fei departed on the back of his eagle.

As for Huang Xiaoman and Mu Xue, they were in seclusion.

Ever since taking Ling Fei's Spirit Awakening Pills, their cultivation speed had advanced by leaps and bounds, and they were now attempting to break through to the Profound Pill Realm.

"Junior Brother Ling!" As Ling Fei flew forward on his eagle, Yuan Chong approached, riding a crane.

Besides him, there were many other disciples from the Medicine Vein.

These were all alchemy geniuses who were going to participate in the tournament.

The Southern Wilderness's inter-sect tournament included not only Martial Arts, but also the Alchemy Dao.

"Senior Brother Yuan," Ling Fei said, cupping his hands toward Yuan Chong.

"Haha, Junior Brother Ling, how have you been? Have you managed to refine a Spirit Pill yet?" Yuan Chong asked.

Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun and Master Yuan Lang had kept Ling Fei's alchemy progress a secret, so even Yuan Chong knew nothing about it.

"A Spirit Pill?" Ling Fei paused, taken aback.

He had originally assumed that Master Yuan Lang would have already told Yuan Chong about his alchemy achievements.

After all, they were kinsmen.

"No success yet?" Seeing Ling Fei remain silent, Yuan Chong frowned. "It doesn't matter," he continued. "At your age, you're already top-tier among the alchemists of the Southern Wilderness. Besides, your Martial Arts strength is also quite good, so you should be able to get a chance to enter the North Spirit Ruins. Ai... unfortunately, it will be very difficult for me to get that chance."

He sighed.

Although he considered his own talent for alchemy to be good, Yuan Chong had ultimately only just managed to refine a Flawless Pill. He had only placed third in the Lingyun Sect's Medicine Vein assessment.

As for this inter-sect tournament, he really had no confidence he could place in the top ten.

And when it came to Martial Arts talent, he was even further behind others.

"Senior Brother Yuan, you don't need to worry. If our Lingyun Sect is strong, how could you lack opportunities to grow in the future?" Ling Fei said with a smile.

"That's true," Yuan Chong sighed. "It's just that the North Spirit Ruins are Ancient Ruins. If one can gain something inside, it's enough to change one's destiny."

"Unfortunately, there are only thirty spots for the North Spirit Ruins at each tournament. Twenty of those are for Martial Arts, and only ten are for the Alchemy Dao," Yuan Chong sighed.

In other words, he had to place in the top ten of the alchemy tournament to be qualified to enter.

There were many sects in the Southern Wilderness and no shortage of alchemists. Getting into the top ten would be incredibly difficult.

'Thirty spots.' Ling Fei's gaze sharpened.

Indeed, the Southern Wilderness had numerous sects and countless geniuses.

Yet for this tournament held once every three years, only thirty geniuses could enter.

While they were talking, Ling Fei arrived at Lingyun Peak before he knew it.

At this time, numerous geniuses had already gathered there.

These geniuses were all under the age of twenty, and most of them were people who had participated in the sect tournament three months ago.

In fact, only those who had placed in the top hundred of the last sect tournament were qualified to participate in the Southern Wilderness's inter-sect tournament.

The same was true for the Medicine Vein.

Of course, Ling Fei's talent was extraordinary, and he had long been a recognized genius, so he hadn't been notified to compete back then.

With so many geniuses gathered together, Ling Fei spotted Lian Shuang and Fang Yuan from a distance.

Besides them were He Tianming, Zhao Fan, Huang Feng, and the others.

With a flicker in his eyes, Ling Fei drifted down toward them, and his Golden Eagle followed.

Seeing Ling Fei arrive, Zhao Fan and the others on the high platform voluntarily cleared a space for him.

When he landed, he naturally ended up in the same row as Lian Shuang.

Obviously, the others had done this on purpose.

Seeing this, Ling Fei didn't stand on ceremony and landed beside Lian Shuang.

"Senior Sister Lian Shuang, Senior Brother He, Senior Brother Zhao..." Ling Fei cupped his hands in greeting to everyone.

"Haha, it's been a few months, and Ling the Pill Master's bearing is even more impressive than before!" Huang Feng said with a laugh, sizing up Ling Fei.

Sensing his aura, he could clearly tell that Ling Fei's presence had grown stronger.

"Haha, all of you Senior Brothers are also extraordinary!" Ling Fei smiled.

At the same time, he also extended his Heart Spirit Sensing.

Under his Heart Spirit Sensing, he could clearly detect that Zhao Fan's and He Tianming's auras had become stronger.

They must have reached the Celestial Pill Perfect Realm.

'Three months is enough time for these geniuses to make some progress.' Ling Fei mused inwardly, then focused his senses on Lian Shuang.

After their last spar, he had come to see Lian Shuang in a new light.

She was an absolute peerless genius.

'This...' As he extended his senses this time, Ling Fei was inwardly shaken.

Lian Shuang gave off a feeling of being completely unfathomable.

Not even the Third Prince, Li Xun, had possessed such a powerful presence back then.
