C296 Meet the Old Man
One had to admit that the plan of the Second Master was very thorough. If nothing unexpected happened, almost no one would be able to notice that something was wrong with the Herb Medicine Pavilion.
"Does Senior Brother Xiao still remember the orders of those Martial Lord Level powerhouses?" Han Feng asked.
"Let me think about it." Xiao Mu's expression changed, then he said, "Yue Family and Nian family were the earliest to place the order. They also ordered the most weapons, and I was curious at that time. These two families normally don't lack spirit weapons and Ordinary Weapon, so why did they need to forge weapons in such a large amount? Furthermore, the value of these weapons is extremely high, even for Martial Lord Level powers. We'll have to bleed too."
"Senior disciple Xiao, do you have any use for weapons like the weapons of the Yue and Nian family?"
"No." Xiao Mu shook his head, "According to the rules of the trade, we are only responsible for forging weapons. As for the uses, we never ask about them."
Han Feng sighed helplessly. Xiao Mu's words did not deviate from the rules. He was not as interesting as Sun Tianwang, but it was reassuring to let him handle things.
"Apart from the Yue and Nian family, are there any other families?" Han Feng continued asking, "This isn't against the rules, is it?"
"That's fine, as long as you don't tell anyone." Xiao Mu thought for a moment and said, "The Martial Lord of Heavenly Wind Sect has been here before, as well as some other Tian Yuan families. There were also some Martial Lord orders that were relatively small, and they weren't much different from the previous ones. I didn't pay extra attention to them."
"That's enough." A faint smile emerged on Han Feng's face. Nian family and Yue Family... It was enough to verify his conjecture. Sure enough, the Second Master had colluded with these Martial Lord Level powers. Helping Yue Chengfeng and the others earlier was not an unintentional move. It was likely that they wanted to borrow Yue Chengfeng's hand to help the Yue Family. After all, the Herb Medicine Pavilion had only just developed at that time.
Currently, the Second Master clearly possessed a status comparable to a Martial Lord. The prosperity of the Herb Medicine Pavilion had caused the status of the Second Master to rise along with it. It was afraid that Yue Chengfeng and the others would no longer be able to enter his eyes.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao." Han Feng cupped his hands towards Xiao Mu. The latter's expression was indifferent as he said, "It's a small matter. If you have time, please give me some pointers."
Han Feng was stunned. Although Xiao Mu was cold, he wasn't arrogant. He didn't hate those who were stronger than him. Instead, he had a hint of respect for them. This kind of attitude was better than many god 's favoreds disciples from big families.
"Let's spar." Han Feng said with a smile, "I will take my leave now."
After saying that, Han Feng's figure flashed and left. In his heart, he was already thinking about how to solve the Second Master problem. Perhaps... He no longer needed to sneak into the Herb Medicine Pavilion to gather evidence, nor did he need to confront the Second Master. He only needed to tell the Third Pavilion Master about the situation in his hands. The Third Pavilion Master had been fighting with the Second Master for many years. He should be able to tell what the Second Master's intention was. If he were to report this matter to the headquarters of Herb Medicine Pavilion, the Second Master would definitely find it hard to absolve itself from the blame.
While Han Feng was thinking about this matter, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Han Feng's expression became serious when he saw Elder Fong Loong. Fong Loong waved his hand, and a gentle force enveloped Han Feng, "Follow me."
The two of them moved like the wind and arrived in front of a grand hall. Han Feng recognized this place. It was the hall where the Lord of Zhaotian was located, and he understood some of Fong Loong's intentions.
"Let's go in." Fong Loong revealed a respectful expression. Han Feng smiled bitterly and stepped into the hall.
After stepping into the hall, all the elders were present. Mo Hsingzhao and Elder Mo were present as well. There was a trace of embarrassment in his eyes. Clearly, he knew about Han Feng's identity and felt lucky about what he had done earlier.
"Greetings, young master." Upon seeing Han Feng enter the hall, the elders who were seated earlier bowed and greeted him. This caused Han Feng to feel a little surprised. These elders were being too polite.
"Seniors, please take a seat. How could Han Feng deserve such a great gift from these elders?" Han Feng cupped his fists at the elders. The Lord of Zhaotian showed a trace of satisfaction, "Take a seat."
"Thank you, Prefecture Master." Han Feng thanked him, then he walked to the seat beside him. The Lord of Zhaotian stopped him, "Wait."
Han Feng turned around with a puzzled expression. The Prefecture Lord smiled and pointed to a seat beside him, indicating for Han Feng to come forward.
"This..." Han Feng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and nodded, "It's impolite to refuse."
In his opinion, this was undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill from the Lord of Zhaotian. With his status, it would not be appropriate for him to sit below.
"Young master, this is the residence of all the elders in Zhaotian Sect. Including my junior brother, Fong Loong. There are fifteen Rank Three Divine Pattern Master here, seventeen Astral Martial Stage Martial Lord. " The Lord of Zhaotian spoke, causing Han Feng to reveal a surprised expression, "There are even more Martial Lord warriors here than Rank Three Divine Pattern Master warriors?"
"That's right." The Lord of Zhaotian nodded. "Sometimes, if their Divine Inscriptions cultivation base doesn't improve, they will temporarily put it aside. As for Divine Inscriptions and Martial Arts, there are many similarities between them. Their achievements in the Martial Path aren't low either, and they soon broke through to the Astral Martial Stage. Hence, the number of Martial Lord is greater than the number of Rank Three Divine Pattern Master. "
"However, in normal days, all the powerful warriors in the prefecture would not show up in public. What the outside world knows is the superficial strength of the Zhaotian Sect." The Lord of Zhaotian said with a smile. Han Feng nodded his head, although he was vaguely in the city. However, the Zhaotian Sect obviously needed to be kept a secret. Otherwise... If they showed off their abilities, they would easily become a thorn in the side of the Iron Sword Mountain.
"Most of the Astral Martial Stage Martial Lord in the Prefecture are at the Low Level of the Astral Martial Stage. Only my Martial Uncle, the elder of Soong Tianze's Prefecture, has reached the Astral Martial Stage Level Six. At the same time, his attainment in Divine Inscriptions is extraordinary, and he has already reached the peak of the Third Order many years ago. " The Lord of Zhaotian introduced the person on the other side of Han Feng. It was a skinny old man. He looked ordinary, but his cultivation was far beyond everyone's imagination.
"Greetings, Elder Soong." Han Feng stood up and bowed to Soong Tianze. A bright glint flashed across the old man's eyes. Immediately, a gentle force lifted Han Feng up. Elder Soong slowly spoke.
"There are many talents in the world. I am already an old man. Young master is extremely talented. His future achievements will be limitless."
"I still need the help of seniors." Han Feng said with a faint smile.
"Young man, you are neither arrogant nor rash. You are a genius." The Lord of Zhaotian praised him again, and then looked at Han Feng. “ The reason why the young master was here today was mainly to get to know the elders of the Prefecture. Also, let's discuss the matter of the King's Banquet. "
"King's Banquet?" Han Feng's eyes narrowed. It seemed like the King's Banquet was indeed very important. Not only the Martial Lord Level in Tianfeng City, but also the Martial Lord Level in Iron Sword City.
However, it seemed like Han Feng was facing a choice. Should he represent Zhaotian Sect and join King's Banquet, or replace Hongtian Academy?
"The time is getting closer and closer to King's Banquet. Although young master has great talent, if he relied solely on the Divine Crest to fight, perhaps, he won't be able to enter the top three so easily. " The Lord of Zhaotian said objectively. Han Feng nodded his head. That was indeed the case.
Although the speed at which he inscribed the Divine Crest was fast, it was still incomparable to the god 's favored with a powerful cultivation. The Divine Crest could be used as a means to protect one's life, but when faced with those peerless god 's favored, one would still be at a disadvantage.
"In this month, I will do my best to cultivate. I should be able to break through to the Earth Energy Stage." Han Feng's confident reply made all the elders nod their heads. However, Soong Tianze still had a worried expression on his face, "Within a year, can I break through to the Earth Energy Level Three?"
"Breaking through three realms within a year, this will be a little difficult." Elder Mo said, even if it was some powerful god 's favored. It was already considered very good to be able to break through one realm in a year. Furthermore, there were only about ten months left until the King's Banquet. On average, it would take them three months to advance one realm. One could imagine the difficulty of this.
Even though he had high hopes for Han Feng, there wasn't much hope for him to do so. If it was so easy to break through to the Earth Energy Stage, the Expert of Celestial Energy Stage in the Iron Sword City would surely run all over the streets.
Furthermore, in the King's Banquet, Han Feng would have to face all the god 's favored figures in the State of Zhao. Many young men would suppress their cultivation base to the Peak iof Earth Energy Stage. However, their martial will would most likely exceed their cultivation base. Reaching the Level Seven and Level Eight. With this, their combat strength would surpass some ordinary Expert of Celestial Energy Stage. It was extremely terrifying.
"It's not possible for them to be Earth Energy Level Three warriors, but Earth Energy Stage Level Two warriors shouldn't have any problems." Han Feng thought for a while and answered.
Even if he had the Devil Sword System, he couldn't guarantee it. After all, he needed to improve his martial will as well. If he spent all his time on cultivation, it would be slower for him to improve his martial will.
"No matter what, I'll try my best." Soong Tianze didn't blame him, "If it really doesn't work, I'll participate in the competition five years later. There won't be any problem."
Many of the elders nodded. Indeed, Han Feng was only sixteen years old. Even if another ten years passed, it wouldn't exceed the age limit of the King's Banquet. At that time, Han Feng should be able to reach the Peak iof Earth Energy Stage, even if he couldn't win the championship. It shouldn't be a problem for him to enter the top three.
"Five years is too long." Han Feng sighed. If it wasn't for saving his father, he wouldn't have participated in the King's Banquet. However, in order to prove himself, he had no choice but to show his true strength. He knew very well that although the elders were very polite to him, but if he was just a youth without potential and talent, these elders might not even give him a second glance.
Only by stepping into the top three seats of the King's Banquet could the Zhaotian Sect and the other old forces see his potential and serve him as their master.
"Go, finish what you have at hand as soon as possible, and then comprehend the Celestial Profound Flame." Soong Tianze said indifferently. After that, his figure flashed and he disappeared from where he stood.
"Junior will take his leave." Han Feng cupped his hands. Immediately, all the elders stood up and respectfully sent Han Feng away.
After leaving the main hall, Han Feng's figure flickered and left Zhaotian Sect. He wanted to send a message to some of the major powers in Iron Sword City, asking them to send some of the information back to Herb Medicine Pavilion.
However, not long after Han Feng left, a group of figures quietly followed behind him, their eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
