Chapter 97 - Leng Maner
Chapter 97: Leng Maner
At dawn, the usually calm Medicine Tower became noisy.
In the past, most people in the Medicine Tower would be studying and researching all kinds of medicinal ingredients.
But today, everyone had a tacit understanding and headed to the pill refinement room because Zhou Feng would refine pills for the second time.
If one successfully refined pills for the first time was due to luck, then successfully refining pills for the second time was not luck.
This meant that the Medicine Tower had a high chance of welcoming an official sect-raised Pill Master.
No matter what, it had to be close.
Therefore, many people were standing outside to watch early in the morning.
Coincidentally, Senior Brother Mo saw the surging crowd, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
When had this occurred again in the Medicine Tower?
‘HMPH! I want to see how you will succeed in refining pills today!’
He had already tampered with the furnace and the medicinal ingredients Zhou Feng would use.
The purpose was to make Zhou Feng fail in refining pills.
“Look! Who’s that?”
“That’s…”
“Could it be Eldest Senior Sister dressed in white?”
“…”
While Senior Brother Mo was still plotting in secret, the crowd at the scene once again stirred up a commotion.
The reason was very simple. A woman was flying in the sky from the horizon.
The woman flying in the sky had skin as white as snow, her eyes were watery, and her features were as beautiful as a painting. Her white clothes fluttered in the air like a blooming snow lotus.
When coupled with the rising sun, it could be said that the aura she exuded was overbearing. She was in high spirits and extremely charming.
For a moment, many people present were dumbstruck.
In the Tri-Gu Sect, only the Sect Leader’s daughter could have such grace. Her name was Leng Maner, and she was known as the Eldest Senior Sister.
This was a truly blessed daughter of the heavens. She had been held in the hands of the Sect Leader since she was young, and she could enter and leave the sect’s treasury as she pleased.
She was not even 20 years old this year, yet she had already forged a Grade-1 Soul Altar.
She had directly crushed all the people in the sect, possessed a spirit weapon on her body, and even a Grade-1 Soul Altar Snow Condor was her mount.
Now that the Sect Leader was heavily injured, who knew how many true disciples hoped to win Leng Maner’s heart.
This would not only help them compete for the Sect Leader’s position but also be able to kiss her.
Unfortunately, Leng Maner usually lived in seclusion, and basically, not many people had the opportunity to come into contact with her.
But why did she come to the Medicine Tower today? Could it be for Zhou Feng? If it was a new Pill Master, it was indeed worth Leng Maner’s time to come personally.
Roping in a Pill Master was of utter importance to the Sect Leader’s faction.
Leng Maner slowly landed on the roof and indifferently glanced at her surroundings.
Immediately, most of the people in the surroundings held their breaths. This slight glance was incomparably beautiful, giving people a feeling of not being able to look at her directly.
Thus, a bizarre phenomenon formed at the scene.
Most of the people stood stiffly like primary school students that a teacher was inspecting. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
Coincidentally, Zhou Feng walked over slowly with his head lowered from the side.
Leng Maner, who was on the roof, happened to notice Zhou Feng and immediately looked over.
Then, everyone followed her gaze and shifted their attention to Zhou Feng.
For a moment, Zhou Feng was the focus of everyone’s attention.
‘Danger!’
Zhou Feng’s Battle Instinct was triggered, so he immediately assumed there was danger.
Zhou Feng raised his head slightly and looked at Leng Maner.
Both parties met each other’s eyes at that moment.
‘So Beautiful? Grade-1 Soul Altar realm? So strong!’
The moment Zhou Feng looked at Leng Maner, a hint of surprise flashed past his eyes.
The white jade-like face revealed a coral-like color. Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were like a painting. She stood on the roof, like a white camellia swaying in the wind.
The most important thing was that cold and elegant temperament, which made Zhou Feng’s mind a little confused.
But soon, his attention was placed on Leng Maner’s cultivation.
She was actually a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator! Moreover, her aura was terrifying. Just standing there made him feel a sense of trepidation.
“F*ck! How dare he! He actually looked directly at Eldest Senior Sister?”
“Moreover, he was able to do it without changing his expression? Strong!”
“I only stole a glance and felt that my heart couldn’t take it anymore.”
“…”
After Zhou Feng and Leng Maner looked at each other for a few seconds, quite a number of people by the side began to gnash their teeth in anger.
How dare he look directly at their goddess like this!?
These people wished they could look directly at their goddess, but they were not confident to do so. It was a state of being both humble and jealous.
Leng Maner noted that Zhou Feng was able to look at her without changing his expression. Her eyes moved slightly, but she did not say anything.
She just stood there and watched quietly.
‘There shouldn’t be any malice! It’s better to refine the pill first!’
Zhou Feng frowned slightly and did not continue looking at her. Instead, he walked toward the pill refinement room.
Indeed! This woman was indeed very beautiful. She even made him feel a little moved.
This was a feeling that had never appeared when he was facing Liu Yan.
Still, he quickly gathered his thoughts and prepared to start refining the pill.
After last night’s sneak attack, he did not have the time to relax like before. There was no time to waste now.
Although Leng Maner, who was on the roof, did not speak, a trace of curiosity flashed past her eyes.
Compared to the others, Zhou Feng still looked a little pleasing to the eye. She just did not know if he could become a true Pill Master.
Apparently, Zhou Feng’s passive Amorous Prodigal Heart had played a little role.
Charm +1 was still useful. At least, Leng Maner had a good impression of Zhou Feng.
Seeing Zhou Feng walk into the pill refinement room, Senior Brother Mo, who was next to him, also came back to his senses. He pretended to cough twice.
Then, he followed him into the pill refinement room.
The people standing around with straight faces also relaxed a lot.
“Junior Brother! Today, we are refining the Bright Eyes Pill! This is a kind of pill that we use to feed spirit beasts. It makes a spirit beast’s eyes bright and clear hearts…”
Senior Brother Mo began to explain the new pill formula to Zhou Feng just like yesterday. Then, he let Zhou Feng familiarize himself with it first before he could start refining pills.
However, what was different from yesterday was that today, perhaps because Leng Maner was present, Senior Brother Mo’s tone was a little strange. He gave off a solemn appearance as if a Pill Master was guiding a disciple.
This slight change in tone was something that Zhou Feng could discern, but he didn’t care about it. As long as he could absorb the knowledge of pill refinement, nothing else was important.
After refining the pill, he had to hurry back to his daily cultivation. At night, Zhou Feng planned to hunt and collect souls.
“Done!”
Zhou Feng roughly understood how to refine this Bright Eyes Pill and immediately started refining it!
He didn’t think too much about it. He planned to practice and see what problems would appear, but he would slowly correct them when the time came.
