Actually, the two sisters would not care about how many Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles Xian Yuyin would be able to trigger in ordinary times. However, today was different, as Xian Yuyin was competing with Chu Feng to see who would be able to trigger more of the Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles.
For Xian Yuyin to actually make progress at such a time and trigger six Golden Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles was extremely bad for Chu Feng. As such, how could the two sisters possibly feel at ease?
However, the result had already been determined. Xian Yuyin had managed to trigger six Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles. This was an unchangeable fact.
“Splash~~~”
While the green lightning that filled the sky was still present in the sky, Xian Yuyin flew back out from the Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond. He had a complacent smile on his face.
“Yuyin, you have truly given us a pleasant surprise,” At that moment, not to mention the Protectors, even the Four Great Elders had personally stepped forward to receive Xian Yuyin. To trigger six Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles indirectly meant that Xian Yuyin’s talent was even stronger than they had antic.i.p.ated. As such, how could they not be in joy?
Showered with praise, the smile on Xian Yuyin’s face grew even wider. He took a glance at Chu Feng and said, “Chu Feng, it’s your turn. However, I’d advise you to not try to show off and end up dying in there. While your death would not matter, I fear that your corpse will dirty the water of our Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond.”
“I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”
Chu Feng smiled lightly. He did not become angry because of Xian Yuyin’s provocation.
However, seeing how calm and collected Chu Feng was, Xian Yuyin revealed an angry expression in his eyes.
The reason for that was because Chu Feng’s expression made him feel as if Chu Feng had never placed him in his eyes the entire time. This sort of feeling was extremely unpleasant for him.
At that moment, Chu Feng was not in a rush to enter the water. Instead, he waited until the lightning in the sky dissipated, and the Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles that were emitting the lightning returned to normal before leaping into the Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond.
Seeing that Chu Feng had entered the water, Xian Miaomiao and her sister Xian Lingyue both revealed worried expressions.
After Chu Feng entered the water, he moved extremely quickly. Like a water dragon, he rapidly dived into the depths of the Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond.
As Chu Feng dived deeper and deeper, the powerful pressure grew stronger and stronger. Fortunately, Chu Feng was yet to be affected by that pressure.
“That is?”
Suddenly, Chu Feng stopped diving and turned his gaze to the nearby area.
At that place… was a special sort of organism.
That organism was only as large as a firefly. However, it was completely transparent, colorless and odorless. In fact, it did not even emit any aura. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was using his Heaven’s Eyes, Chu Feng might not necessarily be able to catch sight of that organism either.
Chu Feng had met that organism before in the Cyanwood Domain’s Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond. They were a sort of cultivation resource.
“Pop~~~”
Out of curiosity, Chu Feng grabbed the organism and snapped it apart. Then, it turned into Natural Energy, entered through Chu Feng’s palm and traveled into his dantian.
Right after that, Chu Feng revealed a joyous expression. “This energy, it’s actually this dense?” Although this organism possessed the exact same appearance as the one in the Cyanwood Domain’s Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond, the Natural Energies which it contained were a world apart.
Upon closer inspection, Chu Feng discovered three more of the strange organisms nearby. After he captured them with his hand, they actually gave off the same sort of extremely dense Natural Energy.
“It would appear that my trip has truly not been made in vain,” At that moment, Chu Feng was overjoyed. Although a single one of such organisms might only possess a negligible amount of Natural Energy for Chu Feng, it appeared that this Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond possessed countless such organisms.
If he was able to capture all of them and refine them, he would definitely obtain quite a large harvest. It might even be possible for him to reach a breakthrough to Martial Emperor.
“Woosh~~~”
Thinking about it, Chu Feng stopped diving deeper, and instead began to swim all around. He swam around the nine Golden Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles as he gradually dove deeper, whilst searching for those astonis.h.i.+ng organisms.
Chu Feng was planning to capture all of the strange organisms in this Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond and refine them.
As if he were an inescapable net, Chu Feng began to carefully gather those astonis.h.i.+ng organisms in the depths of the Immortal Pond.
He was planning to capture all of them in one go and not let a single one escape. After all, even if he were to let them remain, the Ancient Era’s Elves would not be able to capture them. As such, rather than wasting them, it was better for him to use them.
However, Chu Feng’s actions were taking a lot of time. While Xian Yuyin had managed to trigger six Golden Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles in merely two hours, Chu Feng had been in the waters for a total of sixteen hours now. Yet, there was still no sound of activity from him.
At that moment, the sky had already darkened, and it was now deep into the night. Although it was night, not only did the multi-colored brilliance of the Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond not decrease, it had instead increased.
However, when that brilliance shone on Xian Miaomiao’s face, it revealed an expression filled with worry and unease.
“It’s been so long, could Chu Feng have died in there?”
“Didn’t I tell him to not try to show off? Yet he refused to listen. If he is to die there, he’ll end up dirtying the water of our Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond,” Xian Yuyin said mockingly from the side.
Although Xian Miaomiao was angered by those words, she was more worried about Chu Feng. Thinking about that, her body actually began to move; she was planning to jump into the Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond to search for Chu Feng.
“Miaomiao, what are you planning to do?” However, before Xian Miaomiao could approach the Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond, a figure arrived before her and stopped her. It was Xian Yuyin’s father.
“”Let me go. I cannot let anything happen to Chu Feng,” Xian Miaomiao said coldly.
“I’m afraid that I cannot do that. This compet.i.tion is something that Chu Feng personally agreed to. Even you cannot interfere with it.”
“Furthermore, weren’t you extremely confident in him? Why are you instead worried about him now? Rest a.s.sured, it remains that Chu Feng is someone who triggered an Ancient Era’s Immortal Needle before. Nothing will happen to him,” Xian Yuyin’s father said with a beaming smile. His appearance was extremely vile.
“Royal Father,” At that moment, Xian Miaomiao turned her gaze to her father, the Elf King.
“Miaomiao, it won’t hurt to wait a bit longer,” The Elf King said.
“But…” Although Xiao Miaomiao was unwilling to accept that, as her father had spoken, she ended up having no choice but to obey.
“Miaomiao, what’s wrong? Weren’t you extremely confident in that Chu Feng? Why did you start to lose confidence now?” Xian Yuyin arrived before Xian Miaomiao and spoke with a very mocking tone.
“Xian Yuyin, you have merely triggered six Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles. Do not act this complacently,” Xian Miaomiao said coldly.
“Six Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles is naturally very lacking when compared to you, Xian Miaomiao. However, compared to Chu Feng, I’m afraid that it’ll force Chu Feng to become worthless,” Xian Yuyin said complacently.
“What arrogance,” Xian Miaomiao cast a ruthless side glance at Xian Yuyin. Her gaze was filled with disgust.
“Haha, whether this is arrogance or confidence, Miaomiao, you yourself know best,” Xian Yuyin said with laughter.
This time around, Xian Miaomiao did not even bother to glance at him. She ignored him completely.
However, Xian Yuyin was not angered either. As he felt that he had grasped victory, he continued to provoke Xian Miaomiao, “Miaomiao, didn’t you think that Chu Feng would be able to defeat me even in triggering Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles?”
“Of course,” Xian Miaomiao said.
“Hahaha…” Xian Yuyin chuckled. Then, he said, “Since that’s the case, how about we make a bet?”
Xian Miaomiao did not bother to pay attention to Xian Yuyin. However, Xian Yuyin continued, “It was Chu Feng who agreed to compete in triggering the Ancient Era’s Immortal Needles. He possessed a certain of level confidence.”
“I know that you dislike me. How about this? Let’s gamble with all our bets on Chu Feng. If Chu Feng can defeat me, I will no longer bother you. From today onward, you’ll go your way and I’ll go mine.”
“However, if Chu Feng is to be defeated by me, you will definitely have me accompany you to the Blood Devouring Killing Formation. Do you dare to gamble?”
Xian Miaomiao cast a glance at Xian Yuyin. However, she merely cast him a ruthless side glance and did not answer him. At that moment, she was worried about Chu Feng’s safety, and possessed no mood to bother with this shameless fellow.
“Miaomiao, if you agree to gamble with me, we can set the limit for two hours. If Chu Feng still does not trigger an Ancient Era’s Immortal Needle in two hours’ time, even if he is to be defeated, I will personally enter the Immortal Pond and bring him out to prevent him dying in there,” Xian Yuyin seemed to know what Xian Miaomiao was thinking, and actually used Chu Feng’s safety as the wager.
“There’s no need for you to go, I’ll go,” Xian Miaomiao said.
“In that case, it means that you’ve accepted my gamble?” Xian Yuyin asked.
“Humph,” Although she was extremely unwilling, Xian Miaomiao ended up nodding in the end.
