Chapter 187 Silver Rankings
Liu Feng looked at Li Tian and frowned.
"You want me to go undercover?" he asked.
"No. The people who need to know will know. Interestingly, the Pill Tower at Cairin city is in the middle of a power struggle. They are now in control of another pill tower, so they have become the alchemy hub of the entire kingdom.
And now, they have decided to attract all the alchemy talent in the kingdom by introducing the Pill Competition. It is nothing too important for you. You will join as a representative of the Sky heavens sect. Going there to expand your horizons." Li Tian said.
"But why are you sending me to some alchemy meet? It is useless to me." Liu Feng asked.
"I need you to stay out of public view for a while. It is better if people don't think of you as a threat. And, master Mu has asked for you. He wants to meet you. I think that you have given him a good impression the first time that you met." Li Tian said.
"The first time that I met him? When did I meet him?" Liu Feng asked.
"In Kaishi. He said that he met you there, and you rejected his proposal to take you in as a disciple." Li Tian said.
"That man? Bai Zhiqui's master? He is master Mu? A branch leader?" Liu Feng was surprised. He did not think that Bai Zhiqui's master was so powerful.
"Yes. You should go there tomorrow. For now, I think it is better if you leave. Go to your place, and sleep." Li Tian said.
"I had enough rest. I want to go to one of the training grounds." Liu Feng shook his head.
This day might have been a little stressful a little, but before that, he was not exactly in a stressful situation. He was given the best resources and literally fed like a king to become strong and get through Yuan Mountain.
Now, all he wanted to do was try out the Thunder Valley. He had a feeling that his Blue Dragon spear art was being held back by his lack of understanding of the Lightning Dao.
So, he wanted to try and comprehend a little of the Lightning dao in his meantime.
"No. That will take too long. You have to stay here. You will leave for Cairin tomorrow. Just rest for today. Or, if you want, today is interestingly the day that the rankings of the Inner sect. You can go and try it out. Considering that you already defeated Hong Jimin, you should be number one." Li Tian said.
"Yes. I want to try that. And as the number one, will I get any benefits? Any pills, or weapons, or the sort?" Liu Feng asked.
"You will get the residence of number one. The cultivation room there is enough for people everywhere to get jealous. Are you interested? In fact, I think that it is best if you become number one. It is quite humiliating that my personal disciple is not even ranked among the Inner sect. All the elders have core disciples as their personal disciples, but I have an inner sect disciple." Li Tian shook his head sarcastically.
"Fine then. I will go and become number one. Where is the ranking happening? How does it take place?" Liu Feng asked.
"I will tell you. After you can break through this room. You should know how to break through this room. After all, you are in the Nascent Soul realm already. Now, you can do it, unlike last time." Li Tian said, and disappeared.
Liu Feng took a deep breath and looked up. This was where he needed to go. Up.
He took out his spear, the ethereal spear this time, and started storing his energy.
"Ethereal Spear art, Fifth Form! Gungnir* Pierce!"
[* Gugnir is the spear of Odin, and it can pierce through anything! It is a part of Norse Mythology.]
The spear shone, and shot forward, hitting the ceiling.
Just like last time, hundreds of runes appeared, shining. They were trying to absorb the attack completely. But this time, rune after rune, they started dimming down as well.
Crack!
Cracks appeared all along the ceiling, and finally, the spear broke through. It flew up, and Liu Feng followed, coming out of this room and reaching the outside world.
"Congratulations. You have broken through the room. You are now strong enough to protect yourself when the time comes. I did not expect that it would take you less than three months to get to this position. You are a bigger monster than your father was." Li Tian sighed and said.
Liu Feng looked around. He was on the peak of a mountain. This was the tallest peak of the entire sect, the sect master's residence.
He could see clearly the entire sect. The buildings, the people teeming, it felt like he was at the top of them all.
Back then, he was walking for almost ten minutes, and couldn't find the missions hall. Now, at this height, all of those buildings looked like they were right next to each other.
"You have to go to the trial now, shouldn't you? It is going to happen at the Dream Pavilion. I think that the pavilion spirit still remembers you. It remembers the good eggs, and was wondering when you would come." Li Tian pointed to a building.
It was at the edge of the sect, right at the entrance. After all, it was a part of the entrance trials.
"Fine then. You know where you have to go. Get going then." Li Tian grabbed Liu Feng and gave him a slight push.
All of a sudden, he felt the wind crash into his eyes. He still put them open, because he was apparently flying through the sect!
His master just kicked him all the way to his destination.
Crash!
"Goddamn it. I should never have agreed to become his disciple." Liu Feng cursed as he brushed off the dust on his clothes.
