Chapter 423: Bai Feng
The third round of the competition will take place tomorrow. Since Ye Tianfan and the others from Taihuo Peak have finished their matches, they left early.
After saying a word to his master and senior brothers, Ye Tianfan started wandering around Taichu Peak. After all, during his first visit, he hadn't had the chance to explore thoroughly, only parting in haste.
Ye Tianfan planned to check out the Seeking Path Ladder, as it was thanks to the complete ladder that he was able to join the Taichu Sect back then.
"Senior Brother, please wait a moment."
As Ye Tianfan was heading to the Seeking Path Ladder, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind.
However, Ye Tianfan didn't think this was directed at him. After all, he had only joined the Taichu Sect recently, so how could he be called senior brother?
Ye Tianfan didn't look back and continued toward the Seeking Path Ladder.
The person behind Ye Tianfan, seeing he wasn't responding, realized that he might not think the shout was directed at him, so he quickened his pace to catch up with Ye Tianfan.
"Senior Brother, I am indeed calling out to you."
Ye Tianfan heard the voice close to him, and his shoulder was tapped.
Ye Tianfan turned around to look at the person behind him.
"Greetings, Senior Brother. Is there something you need?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously, as he did not recognize this person.
"Senior Brother, I am from Taiqi Peak. My name is Bai Feng!" the person introduced himself.
"Hello, I am Ye Tianfan from Taihuo Peak. May I ask, Senior Brother, what you need?"
"No need to call me Senior Brother, just call me Bai Feng. I just wanted to see your Xuanhuang Tower!" Bai Feng said, somewhat embarrassed. "You see, I'm from Taiqi Peak and have no resistance to Dharma Artifacts and Magical Treasures. Today, when I witnessed the legendary Supreme Magical Treasure, the Xuanhuang Tower, I just wanted to see it up close. Please, Senior Brother Ye, grant my wish."
"Uh..." Ye Tianfan didn't expect this result. "You don't need to call me Senior Brother; I've only just joined. You can call me by my immortal name, Tianfan. How did you know this is the Xuanhuang Tower?"
Ye Tianfan was a bit curious. Are those in Artifact Refining really that impressive? They can recognize the name of my treasure at a glance.
"Tianfan, you might not know, but we have a Divine Book at Taiqi Peak that details all the famous Magical Treasures in the world, their structures, and powers. That's how I could instantly recognize that this is the legendary Xuanhuang Tower!
The Xuanhuang Tower has no physical form, crafted from unknown materials. When summoned, it emits a dazzling mystical light, can suppress ethereal fate, and can even teleport its user at critical moments, and more. This is what the book says about the Xuanhuang Tower."
Bai Feng said excitedly to Ye Tianfan.
Is the Xuanhuang Tower really that magical? Although Ye Tianfan had the Xuanhuang Tower for a long time, he still didn't know all its functions. He didn't expect there to be a book at Taiqi Peak that introduced the functions of the Xuanhuang Tower. It might not cover everything, but it mentions functions he wasn't aware of.
Just the ability to teleport the user at critical moments could save his life.
Bai Feng, seeing he had explained so much and Ye Tianfan still hadn't let him see it, anxiously explained again: "I'm not coveting your treasure; I just want to see what it looks like. I'm currently stuck in a bottleneck with my Artifact Refining. I want to see if observing a legendary treasure might inspire me, please."
After Bai Feng finished speaking, he deeply bowed to Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan, seeing this, had no choice but to let him have a look.
Ye Tianfan waved his right hand in the air, and a somewhat illusory, mystical yellow tower appeared floating in his hand.
"Hiss!" Bai Feng gasped upon seeing the mystical yellow tower.
The legendary treasure was indeed different—the sheen, the color, the aura, the outline. At that moment, Bai Feng was almost going crazy. He hungrily fixed his gaze on the Xuanhuang Tower as if wanting to imprint every detail of it deeply in his memory.
Bai Feng, as he watched, quickly took out a small notebook from his pocket and started jotting something down rapidly.
Ye Tianfan glanced over and immediately saw a series of numbers and some formulas, which made his head spin. What's with Artifact Refining? Isn't it about assembling materials and using fire? How are formulas involved? However, seeing Bai Feng earnestly jotting things down, Ye Tianfan decided not to disturb him and planned to ask after he finished.
However, as Ye Tianfan waited, Bai Feng wrote more and more and even began to draw.
It must be said, Bai Feng's drawing skills were excellent. Not only did the likeness resemble the original, but even the details were drawn with meticulous clarity.
If anyone came by at this time, they would witness a rather funny scene. One person was holding a tower like a statue, while another was scribbling and drawing in a notebook.
Ye Tianfan had several impulses to interrupt Bai Feng's actions, but seeing his serious and eager expression, he refrained, helplessly letting the Xuanhuang Tower float in the air while finding a shady spot to sit.
Who would've thought that after he stopped holding it, Bai Feng seemed even crazier? Initially just stretching to look, he was now circling around the Xuanhuang Tower, observing various angles.
Ye Tianfan, seeing Bai Feng's state, mischievously thought, if just the Xuanhuang Tower made him like this, what if I also took out the Xiaoyao Sword? Wouldn't he go mad? If I brought out the Xuanlong Seal as well, Bai Feng might be so ecstatic he could drop dead.
The sky gradually darkened, and Ye Tianfan wanted to go eat but couldn't leave. He couldn't just leave the treasure here and go for a meal, could he? When he returned, not only would the Xuanhuang Tower be gone, but he might not find even a trace. An Artifact Refiner surely knows how to erase someone else's mark. Although it might not be nice to suspect a fellow disciple, seeing Bai Feng's frantic state, he might indeed do something drastic.
Just as Ye Tianfan was about to forcibly retrieve his treasure, the Xuanhuang Tower suddenly emitted a dazzling mystical light, then that light directly blasted Bai Feng far away. The Xuanhuang Tower, spinning lazily, floated back to Ye Tianfan's side.
What happened? Why did the Xuanhuang Tower suddenly attack Bai Feng?
Perplexed, Ye Tianfan quickly went to help Bai Feng up.
"Bai Feng, what happened?" Ye Tianfan asked as he helped Bai Feng up.
"Ah~" Bai Feng chuckled awkwardly upon hearing Ye Tianfan's question. "Sorry, Tianfan. I got too excited and forgot this treasure has a master. I tried to peek inside the Xuanhuang Tower and got blasted away for it."
Bai Feng scratched his head after speaking.
Ye Tianfan looked at him with a bit of exasperation. If he didn't already know Bai Feng's character by now, he might have directly challenged him to a duel.
