Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Inside the grand hall of the residence where the Lingyun Sect Cultivators were staying, the Elders of various Sects had gathered.

These Sects had all brought their talented disciples with them.

They had come this time to see how Ling Fei's Cultivation had progressed over the past six months.

The people from the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple and the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers were no different.

The disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers were all young, beautiful, and utterly captivating.

Upon entering the hall, many of the young women glanced toward Ling Fei. When they saw how young and handsome he was, they couldn't help but reveal expressions of pleasant surprise.

'I never expected Ling the Pill Master to be not only exceptionally talented but also so remarkably handsome!' some of the women thought, unable to resist sending flirtatious glances his way.

As for the geniuses from the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple, they were all young monks, but they too were handsome and possessed extraordinary auras.

"Amitabha. It has been half a year, and it seems Ling the Pill Master's strength has improved greatly!" Master Xuan Ji of the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple said with a laugh.

He had a kind face with gentle eyes and was slightly plump. A golden light bloomed behind him, making him look like a Bodhisattva seated on the ground.

As he spoke, he looked at Ling Fei like a benevolent elder.

But those who had been to the Falling Star Mountain Range knew that this monk was an absolute powerhouse. Few in the entire Southern Wilderness could contend with him.

"Haha, Ling Fei has indeed made some progress in the last six months. However, he has been cultivating for far too short a time. It's nothing worth mentioning," Sect Leader Yuan said with a smile.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Yuan, you're being too modest. I can see that Ling the Pill Master possesses a unique aura. I imagine he has already reached the Celestial Pill Great Success Realm. Hehe, to reach such a Realm after only a year in the sect, while also pursuing the Alchemy Dao... it's truly enviable!" Sect Leader Wan, who was beside him, said with a smile.

"But I wonder what Ling the Pill Master's attainments are in the way of Elixirs now?" As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Ling Fei.

Clearly, she was more concerned with his skill in alchemy.

As for Martial Arts, so what if Ling Fei became one of the Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses?

It wouldn't benefit them in the slightest!

"Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Martial, and reaching this Realm after only a year... truly a talent not seen in a thousand years," the Cultivators from the other Sects nodded in agreement.

'This Ling Fei's future is limitless,' Vice Sect Leader Jiang of the North Sea Sect mused internally. 'If he truly has the potential of a Pill King, then an alliance with the Lingyun Sect would be worth considering.' He had come to this gathering precisely to get a clear picture of Ling Fei's situation and have a better understanding for himself.

From the looks of it, Ling Fei's reputation was well-deserved.

"Hehe, Ling Fei's talent for the Alchemy Dao is no worse than his talent for Martial Arts. In a few days, during the alchemy competition, you will all see his attainments for yourselves." Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun stroked his beard and smiled. He had the utmost confidence in Ling Fei's Alchemy talent and was sure that this time, he would make the Elders from every sect look at him in a new light.

In this way, the Lingyun Sect's position in the Southern Wilderness would be gradually solidified.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Wan's gaze sharpened, a new light shining within it. "In that case, this one is now much more interested in the competition in a few days. Hehe, when the time comes, Ling the Pill Master, you must show us your full capabilities and let us feast our eyes!" She looked toward Ling Fei.

"Of course," Ling Fei said, clasping his hands. "This junior will never forget the help Sect Leader Wan and Master Xuan Ji provided in the past, and so I dare not slack off."

"Hehe, that's wonderful. We are very much looking forward to the day you become a Pill King!" Sect Leader Wan gave a dazzling smile, full of Charm.

The disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers were all skilled in Charm and the Youthful Appearance Technique.

Even this Sect Leader Wan only looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties.

Her graceful bearing was even more captivating than that of some young maidens.

"This junior will not disappoint you seniors!" Ling Fei clasped his hands and said, "This cup is a toast to all of you."

After speaking, he raised the fine wine from the table before him and drained the cup.

"Good. To our future Pill King. For that, this one must drink this cup." Sect Leader Wan smiled radiantly and raised her cup.

The more she looked at this junior, the more she liked him.

"Then, to the future Pill King, bottoms up!" In the hall, the Vice Sect Leader of the North Sea Sect raised his cup.

The other Elders immediately followed suit.

Master Xuan Ji recited a Buddhist chant before also raising his cup of clear wine and drinking heartily.

The disciples from the various Sects watched with faces full of envy.

Among the younger generation, only Ling Fei could drink on such equal terms with the Elders of the various Sects.

With the elders present, it was not appropriate for these juniors to interject.

"In the future, the juniors of our sects should interact more," several Elders said with a laugh.

"Of course," Sect Leader Yuan nodded.

At the same time, the young disciples from the various Sects couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Ling Fei.

Ling Fei had clearly become the focus of this gathering.

For example, several female disciples from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers were extremely interested in him.

The same was true for several young men from the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple.

They had heard that Ling Fei once killed over a hundred geniuses from the Beiming Sword Sect at the Sunset Abyss.

Because of this, they were all eager to fight him.

However, with the elders present, they dared not act presumptuously.

After a few more pleasantries, the people from the various Sects dispersed.

They had only gathered this time to see Ling Fei's progress and to strengthen their relationships.

After all, after the battle at the Falling Star Mountain Range, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple could be considered allies on the same front as the Lingyun Sect.

The people of the Lingyun Sect rose to see them off.

"Hehe, Ling the Pill Master, if you have time, you must remember to come discuss Alchemy methods with us. We at the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers are quite skilled in Alchemy as well," a tall and charming female disciple from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers said to Ling Fei with a dazzling smile as she was leaving.

"COUGH COUGH, of course!" Ling Fei gave a dry cough and smiled.

"My name is Su Qing. The 'Qing' from 'clear skies'!" The woman gave a seductive smile, enchanting enough to steal one's soul, like a vixen spirit.

Seeing this, several other women from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers covered their mouths and giggled, then said, "Ling the Pill Master, our Senior Sister Su doesn't have a lover yet, you know."

The women of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers were all bright and beautiful. A natural floral fragrance emanated from them, making people irresistibly want to get closer.

Surrounded by such women, the average person would find it difficult to remain calm.

"Hehe, your esteemed valley has a hundred flowers blooming in full splendor. I wouldn't dare pick one and neglect the others!" Ling Fei laughed.

"If Ling the Pill Master is willing, why not pick a few? Wouldn't that be wonderful?" a delicate-looking woman said with a beaming smile.

The way she looked at Ling Fei was simply soul-stealing.

This scene caused Fang Yuan, who was watching from behind, to twitch her brow.

'She hadn't even had a chance to flirt with Ling the Pill Master yet!'

'And these little vixens from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers had already made their move.'

Then, she glanced at Lian Shuang beside her and thought, 'But for a genius like Ling the Pill Master, only Senior Sister Lian Shuang is worthy of him.'

She mused to herself.

This was also why she had hesitated to make a move herself.

"Su Qing, Su Yue, stop fooling around!" an elder from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers chided from the side.

"Goodbye, Ling the Pill Master!" At that, the girls sheepishly retracted their necks and waved goodbye to Ling Fei.

"Goodbye!" Ling Fei waved back.

Then, the people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple, and the other Sects left the residence one by one.

When Ling Fei turned around, he saw Lian Shuang.

However, Lian Shuang's face was cold and stunning, showing no emotional fluctuation.

"Senior Sister Lian Shuang, Ling the Pill Master is very popular among the female disciples of the various sects, you know," Fang Yuan said with a mischievous grin.

"It's late. Time to go back and sleep," Lian Shuang said faintly, then turned and walked away.

After seeing the people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers out of the residence, Ling Fei shrugged and prepared to leave as well.

But suddenly, as he turned, he seemed to sense something, and his Divine Sense immediately spread out.

Outside the residence, a woman in white stood alone on the street.

"Shangguan Wan'Er!" A glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes, and his heart suddenly began to pound wildly.

Shangguan Wan'Er was right outside the residence.

She was looking toward the residence, her eyes filled with hesitation.

'Is she here to see me?' Ling Fei's gaze sharpened, and he started to walk toward her.

At that moment, the Elders of the Lingyun Sect also saw him.

"Ling Fei!" Master Yuan Lang called out, worried it wasn't safe for him to go out alone.

"I'm going to see a friend!" Ling Fei said.

"Go on!" Sect Leader Yuan said, his eyes flashing. "Be careful."

"Mm," Ling Fei nodded and walked over.

As for the Lingyun Sect Elders, they released their Heart Spirits to sense the surrounding area, just in case.

"Wan'Er!" Ling Fei walked out of the residence, and upon seeing the hesitating young woman, he couldn't help but call out to her.

"Ling Fei!" Under the moonlight, Shangguan Wan'Er was biting her lip, hesitating. When she heard Ling Fei's call, her heart leaped.

She followed the sound and looked up.

When she saw the young man she hadn't seen in half a year, the blood in her veins couldn't help but boil.

She stood there, staring blankly at the young man before her. Her heart was filled with excitement, but also sadness.

Their relationship had been a delicate one, surpassing even that of life-and-death companions, and they could sense each other's feelings.

They could have continued to develop their bond, but instead, they had become members of opposing sides.

"It's really you!" Ling Fei came to Shangguan Wan'Er's side, taking her jade-like hand, appearing very excited.

"Ling Fei!" Shangguan Wan'Er looked at Ling Fei, her emotions a complicated mess.

"Come into my residence!" Ling Fei said. The street was obviously not the place to talk.

"Okay!" Shangguan Wan'Er hesitated slightly, then followed Ling Fei.

She was now a member of the Beiming Sword Sect. Coming here alone was already a violation of the Sect's rules.

But if she left certain things unsaid, she would be filled with regret.

So today, she decided to throw caution to the wind.

Ling Fei led Shangguan Wan'Er into the residence, immediately drawing the attention of many Lingyun Sect disciples.

"That woman is so beautiful!"

"Who is she? To be so beautiful, and her aura is unparalleled, comparable even to Senior Sister Lian Shuang. What is her relationship to Ling the Pill Master?"

For a moment, the buzz of discussion was endless.

"That woman seems to be a disciple of the Beiming Sword Sect!" someone said. "Look at her collar, it's embroidered with the unique Sword Pattern of the Beiming Sword Sect."

"Someone from the Beiming Sword Sect?" This statement immediately caused an uproar.

"Everyone, go back and rest!" However, just as the crowd was murmuring, Elder He spoke up.

And so, the disciples had no choice but to timidly disperse.

As for Ling Fei, he led Shangguan Wan'Er to his own room.

Outside, Yuan Huaitian took special action, conjuring a Water Essence Spirit Seal that enveloped Ling Fei's room, clearly to prevent others from eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Wan'Er, have you been well recently?" Ling Fei sat down with Shangguan Wan'Er, asking with a trace of inexplicable excitement.

Although they had seen each other once half a year ago.

But that time, they hadn't spoken at all, which only increased their longing.

Seeing her like this, Ling Fei wished he could pull the beautiful woman before him into his arms and never let her go.

"I've been doing very well this past year. After joining the sect, I cultivated diligently and finally made a stunning debut. My master is now a Divine Wheel Ninth Layer powerhouse, and I have also stepped into the Celestial Pill Perfection Realm and become a Core Disciple. I believe that soon, I will become a great powerhouse of the Sword Dao," Shangguan Wan'Er said.

She was full of confidence for the future.
