Chapter 10: Casual Guidance
Stone City.
One of the Ten Great Ancient Cities of the East County Divine Land, the Alchemist General Union of the East County Divine Land is located in Stone City.
After entering Stone City, Shi Ningmeng finally felt relieved.
Ning Hanshuang, no matter how audacious, would definitely not dare to enter Stone City.
If she dares to come in, I have ways to make her die here.
Night falls.
Stone City is very bustling.
Lin Feng and Ning Hanshuang walked towards the Alchemist Guild together.
In the distance, there was a sea of people, countless onlookers.
Even prominent families from Stone City had arrived.
"I wonder what matter is happening here?" Lin Feng asked.
"The President of the East County Divine Land Spirit Array Master General Union went to the Northern Seventy-two States General Hall to report on their duty, now they are welcoming a new president."
The cultivator said.
"Family Head Liuu Wuming of the Liuu Family in Stone City has arrived."
"Family Head Zhang Chen of the Zhang Family in Stone City has arrived."
"Sect Master Sun Ba of the Tyrant Martial Sect in Stone City has arrived."
...
Voices announcing arrivals could be heard.
Luxurious beast carriages drove in from every direction.
These are all the great forces within Stone City.
Figures of leadership from these great forces stepped down from beast carriages, exchanging greetings with clasped fists.
"Our Stone City has a total of seven Ancient Forces, it's unexpected that the heads of these Ancient Noble Families and sects have all arrived, it's even more bustling than when my father was the president of the Alchemist Guild."
Shi Ningmeng whispered.
Lin Feng nodded.
This is natural.
Because the status of the Spirit Array Master is inherently higher than that of the Alchemist.
"Roar..."
At this moment, a high-spirited dragon's roar sounded from afar.
They saw a jiaolong pulling a beast carriage rushing forward.
Around them were hundreds of powerful cultivators riding exotic beasts as guards.
It showed great pomp.
"It's coming..."
The eyes of those family heads in Stone City suddenly brightened, quickly standing at attention.
The jiaolong pulled the carriage and landed in the square.
"Stone City welcomes the esteemed arrival."
The family heads of those prominent families said in unison.
Exuding respect.
Eyes turned towards the beast carriage.
The curtains of the carriage opened.
Then, a Spirit Array Master wearing a Sun Robe stepped out.
In the Spirit Array Master Guild, only two types of people are qualified to wear a Sun Robe.
The first type is the Great Elder of the Spirit Array Master Guild, a high-standing figure.
Such figures are essentially above Earth Stage High Stage Spirit Array Masters.
The second type are the presidents of the Spirit Array Master Guild for a region.
Though their grade may not reach that of the Great Elder.
But they oversee the Spirit Array Master Guild of a region.
Equating to a Sealing Territory Great Official.
Therefore, they are also bestowed with the Sun Robe.
"Zhan Junhua."
Seeing the cultivator stepping out from the beast carriage, Lin Feng was slightly surprised.
He hadn't expected Zhan Junhua to be transferred to the East County Divine Land to serve as President of the East County Divine Land Spirit Array Master General Union.
Indeed, with Zhan Junhua's qualifications and abilities, he truly has this right.
"It's a pleasure to meet everyone, since this is my first time here, in the future I ask for everyone's assistance and attention."
Zhan Junhua clasped his fists.
Under the spotlight of these prominent figures in Stone City.
Zhan Junhua headed towards the Spirit Array Master Guild.
…
"That person seems to be Zhan Junhua; it's said he served for many years in the Northern Seventy-two States Spirit Array Master General Hall, with profound background. No wonder he was transferred to serve as a president for a region's Spirit Array Master General Union, it seems connections were involved."
"I heard Zhan Junhua got the transfer through associating with a Great Elder."
"Really? Although the Great Elder holds a prestigious position, they don't have the authority to transfer personnel."
"It's said that Great Elder is quite extraordinary, even Murong Baichuan, the head of the Northern Seventy-two States Spirit Array Master Guild, relates as an equal."
"Murong Baichuan is a Heavenly Stage Spirit Array Master, could it be possible that Great Elder is also a Heavenly Stage Spirit Array Master? Or perhaps close to advancing to the Heavenly Stage Spirit Array Master? If so, relying on the Great Elder's connections, Zhan Junhua indeed can be transferred, but I wonder who that Great Elder is and what they're called?"
"That is not clear."
Many people were discussing among themselves.
Lin Feng and Shi Ningmeng arrived at the Alchemist Guild together.
"Miss, you've returned."
An old servant hurried over.
"Where is my father?" Shi Ningmeng asked.
"The President is in seclusion refining medicine, and it's been half a month now."
The old servant replied.
Shi Ningmeng couldn't help but sigh; her father was engrossed in refining medicine.
In Shi Ningmeng's view, her father's dedication to refining seemed to surpass his concern for her.
Her mood became a bit melancholic.
She said, "Arrange a room for Young Master Lin."
"Yes, Miss."
The old servant replied, then looked at Lin Feng and said respectfully, "Young Master Lin, please follow me."
Shi Ningmeng's dejection came and went quickly, perhaps because she had experienced it too many times over the years and was used to it.
"Get a good rest tonight."
She winked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded and followed the old servant away.
In front of the Alchemist General Union was a grand hall five stories high.
Beyond the hall were layers of exquisite courtyards.
Artificial hills and strange rocks, small bridges, and flowing water.
The scenery was unique and captivating.
In the courtyards, there were many individual small courtyards, each arranged with arrays.
The old servant said, "Young Master, this small courtyard is where you will rest."
"Thank you for guiding me."
Lin Feng cupped his fists.
"If you have any orders, Young Master, you can call for the old slave; if there's nothing else, the old slave will take his leave."
Lin Feng nodded.
The old servant bowed and then left.
Clearly, the Alchemist Guild had separate areas for males and females, and the other courtyard area should be where the women resided.
It was already late at night, and Lin Feng sat on the eaves, holding a wine jar, gazing at the bright moon, drinking fine wine.
Where is the other side of the starry sky?
Where is Mother?
Lin Feng murmured, squinting his eyes, looking into the distance, lost in thought.
Suddenly, at this time, a violent disturbance came from a courtyard a hundred meters away.
Bang.
A loud bang followed.
"Failed again, how could it fail again?"
An exasperated voice followed.
"Pill explosion?"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.
As expected of the Alchemist Guild, even in the middle of the night, there were still people refining medicine.
He sensed carefully and found that there were at least a dozen people in the surrounding courtyards still refining medicine.
Lin Feng, feeling somewhat bored, decided to go over and watch the commotion.
If fate allowed, he didn't mind giving some pointers on refining knowledge.
Lin Feng leaped up and jumped into that courtyard.
During the pill explosion, the door was blown apart, and an unkempt middle-aged man, his face blackened, sat dazedly on the ground.
Lin Feng sniffed the medicinal fragrance lingering in the air and said flatly, "You're refining an Earth Rank High Stage Soul Returning Pill. The Soul Returning Pill is made from a total of 375 kinds of spiritual medicines, with three main herbs: Soul Returning Grass, Nourishing God Flower, and Soul Firming Vine. You failed because the method of integrating the three main herbs was incorrect."
The middle-aged alchemist's eyes widened upon hearing this voice.
He turned his head and saw a young cultivator who had somehow arrived in the courtyard.
"How did you know I was refining a Soul Returning Pill?" the middle-aged alchemist asked in disbelief.
"Was it that hard to discern? I can easily judge by lightly sniffing the medicinal fragrance in the air. There are four different qualities of medicinal fragrance in the air, indicating that you have failed four times at refining the Soul Returning Pill."
Lin Feng said calmly.
The middle-aged man's expression was filled with shock.
In his mind, there was only one thought.
How could it be? How is this possible? The person before him was able to identify that he was refining a Soul Returning Pill just by smelling the medicinal fragrance, and even pointed out that he had already failed four times.
What he said was entirely correct; he had indeed failed four times.
To be able to identify the type of pill and the number of failures just by sniffing the air.
Could it be that this person is a Heavenly Stage Spiritual Array Master?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged cultivator's heart suddenly filled with astonishment.
A Heavenly Stage Alchemist, even on the Heavenly Martial Continent, was as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn.
And who was this distinguished gentleman before him?
In the Northern Seventy-two States, only one Heavenly Stage Alchemist presided over the General Hall.
Could it be that the distinguished gentleman before him was a Heavenly Stage Alchemist traveling the world from the Alchemist Holy Temple located in the Central Province?
