Chapter 56 Leaving Luoyun City

  "The key to the Way of the Symbol lies in comprehension and practice. Since you've already entered the gate, I won't say anything more." Duke Wen waved his hand again, and dozens of jade bottles flew out, landing on the table. A golden card also fell onto the table.

  "These are materials prepared for your teacher, barely enough for you to use for a while. You can practice with these materials first, but later on, you need to learn how to prepare them yourself."

  "Also, this gold card has one million gold coins stored in it. You need to buy beast blood and other materials for your studies on potion-making, so take the money from here first, if not enough, come find me again."

  "Hmm." Lin Feng nodded.

  He also knew that being a master of symbols was an extremely costly profession at first, so he didn't go easy on him.

  Master Wen Hou is a master of symbols after all. Accumulating some wealth is still an easy thing to do. Even the poorest symbol master... is still a symbol master.

  "Also, Xiaozi, before you can independently complete a full set of equipment, the relationship between us two must be kept secret, no one can be told!" Wen Hou reminded, "The inheritance between masters is extremely secretive, do not lightly reveal your identity to others, lest you invite great disaster. Even a first-class ancient scroll will attract envy from others!"

  "Didn't even tell the sect leader?" Lin Feng asked.

  He joined the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry, and naturally became a member of the Lu Yun Sect. The Lu Yun Sect naturally became his sect.

  "After you've made a name for yourself, it's only natural to inform the sect." Duke Wen said, "In the future, Lingyun Sect will still have to rely on you to keep things under control. However, don't reveal this situation for now."

  "Yes, Master." Lin Feng nodded.

  "Haha!" Wen Hou let out a relieved smile, "Alright, take good care of these things! I'll leave first, and after you leave Luoyun City, be sure to practice hard and strive to become a true talisman master soon!"

  "I will." Lin Feng nodded again.

  Wen Hou smiled with satisfaction and also walked out of the door.

  "Never mind, let's go back!" Duke Wen waved his hand.

  ……

  Wen Hou's figure disappeared into the night, Lin Feng returned to his room and closed the door.

  Looking at the things on the table, Lin Feng's handsome face revealed a hint of joy.

  "Master Fu!"

  "I never thought I had the potential to become a Symbol Master!"

  "I've become a Sealer, and even if I didn't become a Warrior, I should have the qualifications to stand in front of Yezi now!"

  Lin Feng took a deep breath, waved his hand, and all the jade bottles on the table were put away. The gold card also entered the Jade Pendant space.

  In front of Wen Hou, Lin Feng did not dare to put the things into the jade pendant space, after all, the storage container was too precious. He didn't know that Wen Hou had already known his identity?

  At this time, on the desktop, there were only those scrolls left.

  "A single scroll, containing so much information! Those ancient masters of the mystic way must have been incredibly powerful!"

  "Let me take another look!"

  Lin Feng concentrated his gaze on a scroll, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his mind!

  "It seems... today is impossible to repeat, let's wait until tomorrow!" Lin Feng said to himself.

  He was a beginner in the way of symbols. Before that, he had concentrated his mind and drawn that one stroke, which had already exhausted his spiritual strength. He had to wait until his spiritual strength recovered before he could continue.

  And to recover spiritual power, sleep is undoubtedly the best way.

  "Yezi, I will definitely become a symbol master! I will definitely protect Luoyun Sect and protect you!"

  The scroll was also stored in the jade pendant space, and Lin Feng's face was full of smiles as he fell onto the large bed.

  He soon fell into a dreamland, with a smile still lingering at the corner of his mouth...

  ……

  On top of Luoyun Peak, there is a cliff.

  Against the cliff, there is a flat land of several mu. On it are planted wisteria and other things, looking quite elegant. Against the cliff, a delicate two-story small building, at this time the lights are all off, and the owner of the small building has obviously gone to sleep.

  This is the residence of Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry Fourth Regiment Leader, Ran Lan. The Fourth Regiment is not currently in Luoyun City, but due to this test, Ran Lan has returned here alone.

  "Finally free!" Duke Wen walked along the mountain path towards this side, and the lines on his face also softened a lot.

  "With this kid, restoring the prestige of our Cloud Summit Sect is no problem. Later when he becomes a Master Symbolist, I won't have to be so busy!"

  "I should live for myself once too!"

  He walked up to the small building, stood on the steps, and stretched out his hand towards the tightly closed door, but suddenly stopped.

  "Jiang Lan... must have fallen asleep already! Never mind, I'll come find her again tomorrow!" Wen Hou said softly, turning his body around.

  "Older brother Wen!" A slightly unexpected female voice sounded from behind him.

  Wen Hou turned around and found that the door had opened silently. A gentle and elegant woman stood there, with a look of surprise on her pretty face.

  "Wen Ge, how did you come?" Zhan Lan said in surprise, "So many years, you never came to my place!"

  "Cough! Cough!" Duke Wen's old face turned red, and he smiled wryly, saying, "Jianglan... tonight's moon is really round!"

  "Huh?"

  "Is there a moon tonight?" Jing Lan was taken aback, and then also smiled mockingly.

  Wen Hou raised his head to gaze at the sky, finding it full of stars, but where was the moon's shadow?

  "Heh heh!" Jinglan smiled lightly, "Speak up, Brother Wen, what brings you to find me?"

  Looking at the beautiful face of the woman in front of him, Wen Hou coughed and said softly: "Jianglan, all these years... I've put you through a lot!"

  "Wen Ge, what did you say?" Jinglan exclaimed, her slender body trembling suddenly, and she covered her mouth with her jade-like hand.

  "Jinglan, I understand your feelings. People are not made of wood or stone, who can be without emotions? These years I've been avoiding you, also have a bitter reason!" Wen Hou said with pity, looking at Jinglan.

  "Hehe!" Jinglan burst out laughing, but tears streamed down her face, wetting her delicate cheeks.

  "Jianglan, I've made up my mind!" Wen Hou stretched out his hand and gently grasped Jianglan's hand. "I've decided not to hide anymore. I owe you half a lifetime, don't want to owe you for the rest of my life!"

  "Big Brother Wen!" Jinglan burst into tears and leaned into Wen Hou's arms.

  ……

  Mental exhaustion was a fatigue unlike physical tiredness. This time, Lin Feng slept exceptionally soundly. When he woke up again, it was already noon on the second day.

  "Lin Ge, dinner's ready!" Su Yan took out the food he had obtained from the military camp.

  Due to Su Ying's request, the title for Lin Feng also changed from "Lin Feng Big Brother" to "Big Brother Lin!"

  As Su Ying said, Fang Qingxiang can be called that way, we are more familiar with Lin Ge, why can't we call him that?

  "Ah, okay!" Lin Feng nodded.

  He ate something casually and chatted with Su Yan's siblings for a few words, then Lin Feng returned to his own room and closed the door directly.

  "What is Big Brother Lin doing inside?"

  After a long time, Su Ying also wondered why she couldn't hear the sound of the fist wind anymore.

  "Everyone has their own business, Lin Feng doesn't want us to go, so let's not disturb him!" Su Yan said.

  "Oh!" Su Ying also nodded.

  Inside the room.

  Lin Feng sat in front of the desk, with a steel armor plate placed in front of him, and his hand was holding a symbol pen.

  His mind had long been immersed in the "Sea of Recognition". In that void space, there was an old man with a high crown and strange clothes holding a symbol pen and writing freely.

  Looking at this scene, Lin Feng's mouth slightly curved up. His understanding of Xuan Dao also gradually deepened...

  ……

  Three days later.

  The entrance of the barracks.

  A team of fully armed heavy cavalrymen in black armor stood outside the gate, behind them were more than a dozen huge horse-drawn carriages, each pulled by black horses.

  Only the horse-drawn carriage of a high-ranking official could have such grandeur!

  In these carriages are young men and women who have passed the test and gone to the Tianma Forest to choose their warhorses.

  Inside one of the carriages, Lin Feng and Su Yan sat facing each other. Across from them, a stunningly beautiful girl in green was Su Ying. Next to Su Ying, the blue-clothed girl with an air of elegance between her eyebrows was Fang Qing Shuang.

  "It's time to leave Luoyun City! This trip, although I successfully joined the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, but unexpectedly didn't get to see Yezi alone." Lin Feng thought, naturally feeling a bit disappointed.

  "We're going to Tianma Forest!" Su Ying exclaimed excitedly. "I wonder what kind of mount I'll get this time!"

  "Don't just get excited, when we arrive at the Tianma Forest, we still need to be careful." Su Yan said, "The Black Whinny Horse is after all a horse with a hint of exotic beast bloodline, I've heard that deep within the forest, there are truly divine horses! Those are truly exotic beasts, encountering them would be extremely dangerous."

  "Don't be afraid! What's there to be afraid of?" Su Ying hummed, "Isn't Lin Ge here? Lin Ge will protect us."

  Fang Qing smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

  "Xiao Feng! Xiao Feng!" A thunder-like voice rang out.

  "Uncle Fang." Lin Feng hastily jumped down from the horse carriage.

  "Hello Uncle Fang!" Su Ying also got out of the carriage and bowed politely to the burly man.

  "Haha! Good!" Fang Ba laughed and said, "Xiao Feng, you just arrived and now you're leaving again. Uncle is here to see you off."

  "Thank you, Uncle Fang!" Lin Feng said respectfully.

  "Haha!" Fang Ba smiled and looked at Su Ying, saying, "Little girl, from now on you're with Xiao Feng, take good care of him, got it?"

  "I will, Uncle Fang!" Su Ying replied sweetly.

  "The house on Wangfeng Road, I'll help you find it, don't worry. Go serve with peace of mind!" Fang Ba said again.

  "Hmm! I know." Lin Feng nodded.

  "Old Fang, shut up! You're as timid as a woman!" A captain-like figure among the heavy cavalry in front of the carriage jeered.

  "Old Master is willing! Is it any of your business?" Fang Ba hummed.

  "This old fellow!" The captain of the knights shrugged his shoulders.

  Fang Ba didn't bother with the team leader and just exchanged a few words before leaving.

  "Depart!" The knight captain commanded.

  The sound of horseshoes echoed, like thunder, sweeping across the streets and flying out of the city.

  Black Whinny Horse, Starlight Armor, Heavy Sword, and Heavenly Bow are all standard equipment for the Dark Knight. The last three items were issued, but only this Black Whinny Horse needs to be tamed by itself in the Tianma Forest.

  Only the black stallion that one has personally tamed will completely become one with its master.

  The carriage galloped along the main road, rushing towards the Tianma Forest. Lin Feng was also filled with anticipation for his own mount.

  ……
