Chapter 54: The Unlucky Saint [Please collect!]

  "I originally set up the seal to find talented young people, hoping to inherit and avenge me. So I controlled the boundary below Lingyun General, and also controlled the age below 30, opening once every ten years. After doing all this, I was afraid of being lonely, so I brought some low-level demon beasts to accompany me as pets, which can also be considered a test for those who enter!" Mu Feng Sheng Zhe said, recalling everything from back then.

  "That Dan of Calming the Mind is actually the last drop of my blood, condensed and refined. As a Saint, my blood is also essence. When Lingyun was about to break through to the Lingyun General realm, it had a calming effect on his mind, so it was called Dan of Calming the Mind. Hehe, this name wasn't given by me, but by you treasure seekers who came in."

  Duan Yifeng was shocked, he didn't expect that the life-saving elixir he had risked his life for was actually the blood of a saint. The effect of a saint's blood is really incredible, but this blood has been stored and processed for a long time, and some other things need to be added to it, it's not like drinking a mouthful will have an immediate effect.

  "But after setting up the ban, I was afraid that the Great Elder would not give up his evil intentions and send people to find my footprints everywhere. For safety reasons, I cut off a sword and created a deep abyss, and also set up a flying ban as an extra precaution. However, I forgot that the outside was set with a cultivation level below Lingyun General, and those below Lingyun General cannot fly. Moreover, what I set up was an absolute ban, so even the flying divine soldiers could not be used. So, the tragedy happened like this: in the first few hundred years, someone broke in here, but they were all smashed to death. I have died, and I can only watch them die." Mu Feng recalled those who had died, dying due to his own carelessness, and felt very painful.

  "Then can't you just lift the ban here later? Just watching them die one by one like this is so depressing." Duan Yifeng couldn't help but ask.

  "That was the absolute ban I set before my ascension, an absolute ban that cannot be lifted, and neither can I. Only on the day when the last wisp of my residual soul disperses will the ban lose its effect." Mu Feng Saint said with a bitter smile.

  I really don't know how this guy was so careless at first, it seems that he's getting old and muddled. Duan Yifeng also felt that the world is indeed full of strange things after hearing this, such a thing can actually happen.

  "It was just that my beloved pet, Feng Ling Jiu Yuan, had eaten my 'Bouncing Jumping Divine Pill' and jumped up, never to return. Afterwards, for some reason, no one ever came here again, and I was left with only my soul, unable to escape this Soul Fog."

  "Haha, I can tell you what happened next. It jumped up and blocked the entrance to this cave, and now it's a fifth-level demon beast. It's made the entrance its home. Its strength is equivalent to that of a low-ranking Lingyun General, and it's guarding the entrance. Who would dare come here?!" Duan Yifeng said, thinking to himself that if that Fengling Giant Ape hadn't eaten that Springing and Jumping Divine Pill and jumped up, who knows how many more people would have died?!

  "What? They've all become fifth-grade demonic beasts! I was wondering why no one had come for so long. It turns out it's been playing tricks on us. But this is also good, fewer people have died, and we can just forget about revenge." Mu Feng finally understood the reason and let go of his anger.

  "How did you get in then? Could it be..." Mu Feng said in surprise.

  "You guessed it, I killed him, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get in." Duan Yifeng didn't hide the truth.

  "Ah, the young one is indeed not simple, haha. This time I released 99 Soul-Stabilizing Pills but increased the quota for each key, just to make a last-ditch effort and cast a wide net, hoping someone would come. If it weren't for an outstanding individual like you coming in, I reckon no one would have made it here this time either, and there wouldn't be a next time. My residual soul can only hold on for another decade at most, haha. The Soul-Stabilizing Pills you picked up earlier were the last stockpile, prepared for next time. Since you've arrived and done so exceptionally well, I'll give them all to you." Mu Feng Saint smiled.

  "Then thank you, senior. I've decided to accept your offer and become your disciple," Duan Yifeng said suddenly.

  "Oh, didn't you refuse earlier? How come you're willing now?" Mu Feng's depressed expression suddenly turned into one of extreme joy, this was exactly the kind of disciple he had been longing for.

  "Because I heard your story, I think you're too pitiful, completely a miserable guy! I sympathize with you, being killed by your own people and waiting here for so long. If I didn't agree to help you, all those years of waiting would be in vain." Duan Yifeng thought that he couldn't just take something from someone without giving anything back, and besides, the other person only asked him to be his apprentice, not promising anything about revenge; anyway, he'd cross that bridge when he came to it.

  Besides, Duan Yi Feng couldn't bear to see the old man leave in such a dejected manner. If he had to wait for a thousand years himself, he would definitely go mad from boredom. Moreover, giving his useless things to his weird sect disciple was also an option.

  "Good disciple! I'll pass on my kung fu skills to you, if you don't want them, you can give them to someone else, and the same goes for martial techniques. If you don't want to learn, you can also pass them on to others, but they must be passed down. Finally, there's a big move that I've come to understand over the past thousand years, this move is extremely abnormal, you must thoroughly comprehend it." Mufeng Shengzhe said, not mentioning anything about revenge, indeed, Duan Yifeng was too weak now, he feared that if he mentioned it, Duan Yifeng would be even less inclined to learn.

  "Good," Duan Yi Feng said, releasing the seal on his mind. Suddenly a beam of light flashed by, and Duan Yi Feng's brain was filled with a lot more information, making him feel like his head was going to burst.

  "Master, disciple thanks you. As for the matter of revenge, even if I won't be able to do it myself in the future, I will tell your sect about it. Your sect leader definitely won't ignore this kind of thing. If possible, I will personally kill that elder to avenge you." Duan Yifeng had gained benefits and naturally didn't want to do nothing in return.

  "Alright, good, it's enough that you have this intention." Murong Feng said.

  "Take this ring, it has a lot of my stuff inside, you'll definitely need it in the future." Mu Feng gave his spatial ring to Duan Yi Feng, which contained the scrolls of the previously transmitted martial arts and techniques, as well as many healing pills and a large amount of spirit stones.

  Duan Yi Feng took one look and was shocked, if he had said there were so many good things from the start, he would have agreed without hesitation. There were over ten thousand spirit stones inside, including mid-grade and high-grade ones, and several top-grade spirit stones as well. Duan Yi Feng was so excited that he could hardly speak.

  "Master, are you really giving me all these good things? If you had told me that becoming your apprentice would bring so many benefits, I... wouldn't have hesitated for a moment."

  "Ah! I didn't think you'd be so ruthless! Hehe, I've only got this last bit of lingering soul left, what's the use of keeping it from you?" Mu Feng said with a bad tone, but he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He was very satisfied with Duan Yifeng.

  "Right, Master, how can I get up there?" Duan Yifeng suddenly remembered this key question. Was he going to have to wait another ten years for the residual soul to dissipate and the seal to be lifted before he could go up? Would Luo Xia Yu worry about him and jump down to find him? Thinking of this, he became a bit worried.

  "What about that hopping divine pill? Give me one, and I'll jump up too!" Duan Yifeng remembered the method of the Wind Spirit Giant Ape to get up.

  However, Mu Feng shook his head: "There's none left, only one was eaten by the Wind Spirit Giant Ape."

  "My goodness! I believe in your evilness!" Duan Yifeng sat on the ground with a thud, his excitement suddenly turning into disappointment.

  "Hehe, you don't have to rush back, why not cultivate here for ten years? Time flies when cultivating, and by the time you leave, you'll definitely be very powerful. Why not settle down and cultivate here? The environment isn't bad either!" Mu Feng said.

  "I'm so dead! You've killed me, my wife is still waiting for me upstairs, if she doesn't see me go up and comes down to find me, she'll probably kill herself!" Duan Yifeng sat on the ground, sighing sorrowfully, looking like he didn't want to live anymore.

  "So that's how it is, what a great love! You're really a person who values relationships and righteousness! It's so touching, Disciple, I must send you up as soon as possible." Mu Feng was moved, and with a sudden thought, he came up with a plan.

  "Master really has a way?" Duan Yifeng heard this and quickly jumped up to ask.

  "Haha, of course I do, how could I cheat you?" Mu Feng said with a smile.

  "What's going on?" Duan Yifeng asked anxiously.

  "I've already found a successor, this lingering soul is meaningless anyway. I might as well fulfill your wish, it can be considered my last gift to you." Mu Feng smiled slightly.

  Duan Yifeng hadn't even realized what was happening before he found himself unable to move. Mu Feng walked up to him, grasped his hand, and Duan Yifeng felt a surge of powerful energy flood into his body, causing his cultivation to rapidly increase. Originally already at the mid-stage of Lingyun Master, Duan Yifeng suddenly broke through to the high-stage of Lingyun Master, with the energy still pouring in continuously.

  Luoxia Yu and Muyi Mijian waited for half a day, but Duan Yifeng still hadn't come up. Luoxia Yu was worried in her heart, but she wasn't an impulsive person. She was relatively calm and actually sat down to meditate with her legs crossed. Muyi and Mijian didn't have any other choice either, but they believed in Duan Yifeng's strength, so they also sat down with their legs crossed.

  In the depths, the purity of the River of Condensed Spirit within Duan Yi Feng's body was increasing, and all seven rivers were growing larger and longer, like a substance. Duan Yi Feng endured the powerful energy infusion, constantly allocating and regulating the energy of the seven Rivers of Condensed Spirit, making each one reach the same level of purity, length, and width; if they weren't the same, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  Duan Yi Feng expended a tremendous amount of spiritual energy, his forehead covered in sweat, while the shadowy image of Mu Feng's residual soul grew increasingly faint, as if it might disappear at any moment.

  Finally, Mu Feng stopped, and Duan Yifeng's cultivation growth also came to a halt.
