Chapter 421: More Than Qualified to Be President!

Ling Feng, with all his power unleashed, finally returned to Tianshu East Court before the last rays of the setting sun faded.

In the courtyard, Ouyang Jing, Jiang Xiaofan, Feng Mo, and others were present, each looking half-dead. Seeing Ling Feng return, they perked up a bit.

Ling Feng soon learned that they had entered the second training phase led by the Devil Instructor, Leng Jianfeng, for gravity training.

Jiang Xiaofan was particularly impressive. He could now recover special weapons in areas with over fifty times gravity.

Although Jiang Xiaofan had participated in the demon slaying mission and also had a three-day rest period, being a training fanatic, he completely disregarded any notion of a holiday.

According to Ouyang Jing, when Jiang Xiaofan rushed shirtless into the fifty-times gravity zone, the Devil Instructor’s eyes nearly popped out.

Originally, the gravity training record for their batch of yellow-tier students was forty times, held by Li Bufan and Ling Feng. Jiang Xiaofan breaking this record was unexpected.

Ever since Jiang Xiaofan fused with the Xuanwu blood, he had become a veritable humanoid beast. In terms of physical strength, few at Tianwei Academy could rival him.

Previously, Jiang Xiaofan symbolized diligence. Now, he was a genius on par with Ling Feng and Li Bufan.

"Haha, Big Brother, let me tell you, Wang Yishan thought the gravity array was broken. He rushed into the thirty-times gravity zone and nearly shattered all his bones. That unlucky guy will probably be bedridden for half a month," Ouyang Jing laughed.

"That guy always does stupid things." Ling Feng shook his head with a smile, and then looked at Jiang Xiaofan. "Xiaofan, with your current physical strength, you can completely make up for the gaps in your meridian gate. I’ll recommend you to Captain Gu for our East Court’s sword team."

"I... can I?" Jiang Xiaofan blinked, looking incredulous.

"Of course. I believe the captain has already considered it."

Ling Feng patted Jiang Xiaofan’s shoulder. With his addition, the overall strength of the East Court sword team would undoubtedly increase.

"Xiaofan, I envy you!" Ouyang Jing, Yang Jun, Zhou Kai, and others looked at Jiang Xiaofan with admiration.

It was rare for yellow-tier students to become members of a sword team, even if it were just a second team.

But this year, with Ling Feng, Li Bufan, and Jiang Xiaofan, there were already three of them!

Monsters seemed to be less rare these days.

...

After bathing and changing clothes, Ling Feng found an excuse to leave Tianshu East Court and headed to Yan Cangtian’s medicinal herb garden alone.

Having successfully obtained the demonic shen's crystal core, Ling Feng hoped that if Yan Cangtian also had the formula for the Demon-Transforming Pill, they might successfully refine it tonight.

Soon, Ling Feng arrived at the medicinal herb garden. Yan Cangtian was indeed in the alchemy chamber. Seeing Ling Feng return, he hurriedly rushed over and asked, "Did you get the demonic shen's crystal core?"

"Mhmm," Ling Feng nodded heavily, taking out the crystal core from his chest and smiling. "Elder Yan, please take a look!"

"Haha, with the demonic shen's crystal core in hand, refining the Demon-Transforming Pill is now a certainty," Yan Cangtian said, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Oh?" Ling Feng looked at Yan Cangtian. "Have you already obtained the formula for the Demon-Transforming Pill?"

"Not yet," Yan Cangtian coughed and raised his eyebrows. "But it's practically a done deal."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Ling Feng asked suspiciously.

"I've already negotiated with the Alchemist Guild. As long as we recommend an honorary president to them, they'll hand over the formula immediately," Yan Cangtian chuckled, his eyes darting around Ling Feng. "Congratulations, kid. You've just become the honorary president of the Alchemist Guild at such a young age!"

"Pfft!" Ling Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood, his mouth twitching. "Elder Yan, when did I become the honorary president of the Alchemist Guild?"

"Well, the old fogeys at the Alchemist Guild said they could give me the formula, but they couldn't give it to an outsider. So, they insisted on making me an honorary president. However, I quit the Alchemist Guild when I was young due to some events and even swore I'd never return. So, it's impossible for me to go back."

Yan Cangtian paused and then laughed again. "But even if I can't be the honorary president, you, Kid, are more than qualified!"

Ling Feng was exasperated. "Elder Yan, you can't just trick me like this!"

"Hey, how is this tricking you? Think about it, an honorary president of the Alchemist Guild! Even though the imperial capital has many guilds, the Alchemist Guild, the Craftsmen Guild, and the Rune Masters Guild are the most prestigious. Among them, the Alchemist Guild is the most respected. Imagine how impressive it would be for you to hold that position!"

Ling Feng felt a headache coming on. "Did they agree?"

"Of course. With your alchemical skills, you're more than qualified to be the honorary president," Yan Cangtian said excitedly. "In a few days, I'll take you to the Alchemist Guild for the alchemy assessment. Once you pass, it will be a done deal."

"Elder Yan, I..." Ling Feng was speechless. Sometimes, life really had a way of forcing one's hand.

First, my master Duanmu Qingshan made me the sect leader of the Wenxian Sect. Now, my teacher Yan Cangtian wants to make me the honorary president of the Alchemist Guild.

Why is my life so hard?

"Alright, stop complaining. If you don't go, we won't get the formula for the Demon-Transforming Pill," Yan Cangtian said dismissively. "Besides, becoming the honorary president has many benefits. Most people would kill for such an opportunity, so don't complain."

Ling Feng sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Alright, I'll go for the Alchemist Guild assessment."

There was no choice. For the formula of the Demon-Transforming Pill, he had to do it.

"Mhmm." Yan Cangtian stroked his long beard and heavily patted Ling Feng's shoulder. "That's the spirit!"

Yan Cangtian was secretly delighted, already imagining the shocked expressions of Hong Haotian and the elders of the Alchemist Guild when Ling Feng showcased his skills during the assessment.

Thinking about this, Yan Cangtian couldn't wait to take Ling Feng to the Alchemist Guild.

"Alright, I haven't been idle these past few days. I've finally gathered enough materials to refine ten Meridian-Breaking Golden Pills. Tonight, let's refine them. As for the Divine-Will Nine-Transformations Pill, we're still missing some ingredients. I've already contacted an elder from Tianmeng, and we should have those soon."

"Mhmm." Ling Feng nodded. He hadn't expected Yan Cangtian to be so efficient. The materials needed for refining the Meridian-Breaking Golden Pills were very precious, yet Yan Cangtian had gathered enough for ten batches. It showed how much he cared about Ling Feng's affairs.

Having such a good teacher was indeed his good fortune.

Silently, Ling Feng noted this favor in his heart. He took out the Poison Fruit of Ten Thousand Evil and, together with Yan Cangtian, prepared to refine the Meridian-Breaking Golden Pills.
