Chapter 1386: Which One of You Is Ling Feng, Step Forward

A single day passed in the blink of an eye.

Ling Feng slept straight through the night and did not wake until early the next morning.

After getting up, he enjoyed a hearty breakfast that Fang Wen had prepared with great care.

"Not bad at all, Junior Sister Fang. Your cooking has improved!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly. After being spoiled by Su Hongxiu's cooking for so long, his standards had grown rather picky, and ordinary food was often hard for him to swallow.

"I am glad you like it, Senior Brother. Also, since I am staying by your side to serve you as your maid, you do not have to be so formal and keep calling me Junior Sister Fang." Fang Wen said softly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"

Oh.

" Ling Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Then I will call you Xiao Wen."

"

Mm.

" Fang Wen nodded, accepting it.

"By the way, Xiao Wen, how did the matter I mentioned yesterday turn out?" Ling Feng asked casually.

"Do not worry, Senior Brother. Everything is ready. Master Ye even had a venue specially set up for you. He said he was going to mobilize all the disciples of the Dan Ding Grand Hall to help out." Fang Wen lifted her head and said with a bright smile.

"That Ye Xiong fellow is surprisingly reliable at times."

Ling Feng raised his brows with a grin. Despite his burly appearance, Ye Xiong was actually quite meticulous. It was no wonder he had some real skill when it came to pill formulas.

"Senior Brother Ling! Senior Brother Ling!"

Just as they were speaking, a knock came from outside. Lu Yu's hurried voice followed. "Senior Brother Ling, the temporary auction hall is ready! Master Ye asked me to invite you over to take a look!"

"Alright."

Ling Feng glanced at Fang Wen, who was tidying up the bowls and chopsticks. She pressed her lips together and said softly, "Senior Brother, go ahead. I... I still have to complete my daily tasks. I will try my best to come over at noon."

"

Mm

."

Ling Feng nodded. Only the top ten disciples of the outer sect were exempt from daily tasks. With Fang Wen's current strength, even making it into the top two hundred of the outer sect would still be a struggle.

If the missions were not too difficult in the future, he could take her along. They could earn more sect contribution points together. If she managed to enter the Earth Emperor Pool even once, it would be of great benefit to her.

"It is fine if you cannot make it."

Ling Feng smiled faintly and left with Lu Yu, heading straight for the Dan Ding Grand Hall.

By the time they arrived, a sizable platform had already been built on the vast square outside the Dan Ding Grand Hall. Ye Xiong had mobilized all the outer sect disciples of the Dan Ding Grand Hall, and after working through the night, they finally managed to complete it in time for the auction.

"Master Ling, what do you think? Not bad, right?"

Ye Xiong strode over with a hearty laugh. Ling Feng felt both amused and helpless and could only smile wryly. "Ye Xiong, you really did not have to go to this extent."

"That will not do. If Master Ling entrusts something to me, then if I do it, I must do it properly!"

Ye Xiong grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. "Even if you are unwilling to admit it, in my heart, Master Ling, you are my master in alchemy!"

"

Hehe

..."

Ling Feng's eyelid twitched. He really did not want such an old disciple!

"I have been busy lately and have not had much time to come by the Dan Ding Grand Hall. When things settle down, I will study alchemy together with everyone!"

Ling Feng smiled lightly. Saying that they would study together was just being polite. In truth, it would mostly be him teaching the others. The outer sect alchemists were still limited in skill and could hardly offer him any real inspiration.

"Thank you, Master Ling!"

Ye Xiong was so moved that his eyes turned red.

For a man who devoted his life to alchemy, his unrestrained reaction only made his sincerity all the more genuine.

Time passed quickly.

Before long, more and more disciples gathered outside the Dan Ding Grand Hall. Most inner sect elders sent their disciples to represent them, but some elders who placed great importance on the Yin-Yang Soul Jade came in person, hoping to secure it in one decisive move.

After reaching the Extreme Human Emperor realm, the strength of one's soul source became the greatest reliance for breaking through one's limits.

Treasures like the Yin-Yang Soul Jade, which could continuously temper the soul and stabilize the mind to prevent qi deviation, were more than enough to make those old monsters of the sect fight with reddened eyes.

In truth, even without its spirit core, the Yin-Yang Soul Jade was far from useless. Its value was lower than before, but it was still worthy of being put up for auction.

Ling Feng stood at the entrance of the Dan Ding Grand Hall and looked at the densely packed crowd in the venue. He could not help but click his tongue in amazement.

He had not expected the influence of a single Yin-Yang Soul Jade to be so great!

Of course, many of these people had come because of the name Ling Feng. In less than a month, he had risen to the peak of the outer sect and become the First Tianjian of the outer sect. Whether inner sect disciples, outer sect disciples, or even some inner sect elders, all of them wanted to see for themselves just what kind of person this young man called Ling Feng really was.

"Brother Ling!"

𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

From afar, Lin Mu's loud voice rang out as he rushed over like a gust of wind. He laughed loudly and said, "How about it, Brother Ling? I am loyal enough, right? The moment I heard about this, I came right away to support you. Do not worry, I will help you drive the price up like crazy so you can make a fortune."

"

Hehe

..." Ling Feng rolled his eyes and shook his head with a smile. "Just know when to stop."

Raising the price was not a problem in itself, but Lin Mu was far too unreliable. If the bidding became too outrageous in the end and the item actually went to Lin Mu, Ling Feng would not have the heart to take advantage of him.

One after another, Ning Guichen, Li Fei, Mo Sanqing, and the others also arrived. Feng Ling showed up as well, and the moment she came, she complained with a disgruntled look. "You really cannot sit still for a moment. I was planning to go into seclusion for a while, but when I heard that you were going to hold some auction, I had no choice but to come and give you some support."

What Ling Feng did not expect was that Xu Xinghe and Princess Qian Ling came together as well.

So many inner sect disciples appeared at the same time, and all of them seemed to be on familiar terms with Ling Feng. This made those who had originally looked down on him begin to reassess him.

After all, Xu Xinghe's presence alone was enough to be shocking. He was ranked thirty-fifth on the Creation Star Ranking and was practically standing at the peak of the inner sect. For someone like him to be on good terms with Ling Feng made people wonder what right a mere outer sect disciple had to command such connections!

"

Hehe,

which one of you is Ling Feng? Step forward!"

At that moment, an extremely discordant voice rang out. Everyone turned to look and saw a swordsman in green-robes descending from the sky, his face filled with a vicious aura as though he were brimming with resentment.

"That is Yuwen Changkong!"

Not far away, Fang Wen saw the green-robed swordsman and hurriedly leaned toward Ling Feng, whispering a reminder into his ear.

"So that's the generous fool!"

Ling Feng touched the bridge of his nose. Anyone who could throw out ten thousand contribution points to bribe Fang Wen clearly had his sights firmly set on the Yin-Yang Soul Jade.

Perfect! What the auction needed most was exactly this kind of fat sheep!
