Chapter 72: Cloud Peak Legend Seeking Fresh Flowers, Collecting

  "Had enough? Had enough then get out of here!" Yun Zhiya finally appeared, looking at Ma Lian'er with a annoyed face.

  "Oh!"

  Ma Lian'er stopped her sorrowful voice and looked at Yun Zhiya with a pitiful gaze before quickly leaving.

  Lin Feng looked at Mother Tiger's humble and obedient appearance, and also secretly smiled in his heart. If it was said that there was nothing between these two people, no one would believe it.

  Yun Zhiya frowned and glanced at Chen Gang and Liu Kun, coldly shouting: "You two, are really asking for it!"

  "Big brother, forget it, don't scold anymore!"

  Yuan Ce and **two others walked away with bitter smiles, one supporting another.

  "I've just returned from Qinglan City, and now I have to go again!" Yun Zhiya turned his head around, giving Lin Feng a cold glance. "I'm going to take Chen Gang and the others to Qinglan City, and let Xiao Yang Daren treat them for their injuries. How about you? Do you want to come along?"

  The strong ones of the Seventh Layer of Tiger Form Fist can use Yuan Qi to heal others. Chen Gang's injuries were quite severe, and Ma Lian'er obviously wouldn't heal them, so if they wanted to recover quickly, they had to go to Qinglan City to ask for help from Xiao Yang Bai Fu Zhang.

  "It's too late." Lin Feng smiled indifferently. The fight was already over, and now he shows up? Lin Feng wouldn't acknowledge his sentiment.

  Yun Zhiya stopped talking and turned to leave. Yuan Ce smiled at Lin Feng, and the two of them supported Chen Gang and Liu Kun as they quickly left as well.

  "Lin Ge, are you okay?" Su Ying asked anxiously, "Is it serious?"

  Fang Qingxiang also said: "Lin brother, really don't need to go for treatment?"

  "Don't worry, I'm fine." Lin Feng smiled and looked at Fang Qingxue, "Qingxue, you're really something else. With just a couple of sentences, you managed to get these two guys to take a beating. This skill of yours is far beyond mine!"

  "Brother Lin, is this a joke? Is little sister using a scheme?" Fang Qingxue smiled and said with pursed lips.

  "No, I'm saying it's true." Lin Feng said with a smile, "We and Chen Gang are mutually hostile, all means that can be used will be used, besides, most of what you said is true, at most it can only be considered a stratagem."

  "Hehe!" Fang Qingxiang smiled happily, "I was worried that Brother Lin would get angry!"

  Looking at Fang Qingfeng's happy appearance, Lin Feng couldn't help but secretly praise her. On that day, Liu Bai's arrow had left a long scar on Fang Qingfeng's face. Although the wound had healed, there was still a shallow and irreparable scar on Fang Qingfeng's face.

  The primordial energy of heaven and earth has repaired the scars, regardless of their original appearance. Even if a strong person intervenes, it is impossible to restore them to their original state, because her wounds have already become "perfect".

  At this age, girls are most concerned about their appearance. Fang Qingxiang seems to be completely indifferent to the scar, still as carefree and confident as ever. Lin Feng couldn't help but admire her inner strength in the face of such changes.

  "This little girl indeed has a strong and ambitious heart!"

  When Lin Feng returned to his own camp, his injuries had basically healed, and the broken bones had also grown together. This was the terrifying aspect of the Vermilion Bird's Omniscient Skill, which could manipulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth to directly repair wounds, an ability that was simply astonishing.

  After returning, Lin Feng immediately started practicing his Tiger Form Fist within the large courtyard of the barracks. The spacious grounds were perfect for training.

  "Haha! Kid, looks like you've recently offended the peach blossom (i.e. had a streak of bad luck with women)! In such a short time, you've hooked up with two little girls again! To be honest, these two little girls don't look too bad!" Just as Lin Feng was about to take action, a lewd voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

  "Zhuang Lao, you're awake?" Lin Feng exclaimed. It had been a long time since he'd heard that voice, not since leaving the mountain valley for Luoyun City.

  The divine spirit entered the jade pendant space and saw that Old Man Zhuang was sitting in the void with his eyes already open.

  "What woke you up? I wasn't even sleeping!" Zhuang Lao laughed, "In Luoyun City, I didn't even dare fart, afraid of being discovered. Dammit, almost suffocated me to death! Now that we're in this place, at least I can finally come out and take a breath!"

  "Can you old folks still fart?" Lin Feng chuckled.

  "You little stinker, what's wrong with you? Can't even tell which pot to open and which not to?" Old Zhuang scolded with a smile, then continued with a sly grin, "But honestly speaking, the two little girls you've hooked up with aren't bad at all! Their figures and looks are top-notch, each one tender enough to squeeze out water. Kid, why don't you just take them down and have some fun? You're already 14 years old, haven't even tasted a woman's charm... when I was your age, I'd had over 80 virgins!"

  Lin Feng said helplessly: "Zhuang Lao, I know you're actually a good person, can't you just not act so despicably?"

  "Good man? You say I'm a good man?" Zhuang Lao was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing.

  "Of course you're a good person!" Lin Feng said seriously, "Zhuang Lao, after Father left, the teachings you gave me, I have remembered them in my heart. How could you possibly be a bad person if you can say those words?"

  "Huh?"

  Zhuang Lao was stunned for a moment, then let out a bitter laugh and said: "You little scamp! After you put it that way, I won't be able to brag in the future! It's really not fun, truly not fun!"

  "Right, Old Zhuang," Lin Feng asked, "I'm also considered a Symbol Master now. Why can I become a Symbol Master? My soul isn't naturally strong! Isn't it only those with naturally strong souls who can become Symbol Masters?"

  "Haha! I was just about to tell you this. "Zhuang Lao chuckled and said, "You little brat, you were originally born with a strong soul! And the Vermilion Bird Omni Technique only makes your soul even stronger! The Vermilion Bird Omni Technique isn't something that anyone can practice, only those who are born with a strong soul can cultivate my Vermilion Bird Omni Technique! You stinky little boy, do you think it's a coincidence that I chose to attach myself to you?"

  "What did you just say?" Lin Feng exclaimed in shock.

  Zhuang Lao laughed and said, "The Zhuque Wanxiang Gong can only be practiced by those with a strong innate spiritual soul. I was ambushed and barely managed to preserve my soul, escaping for tens of thousands of miles until I arrived in this desolate land. Among the countless people I met along the way, it wasn't until I met you that I stopped. If not for your strong innate spiritual soul, I'm afraid I would still be on the run! I chose you because I wanted to find a successor for the Zhuque Wanxiang Gong."

  "Was I born with a strong soul? But why was my perception no different from others when I practiced the Tiger Shape Fist before?" Lin Feng wondered.

  People with strong souls have a perception ability that surpasses others at the same level. However, Lin Feng had not discovered anything special about his perception ability when he was ten years old and had practiced Tiger Form Fist to the fourth heavy layer.

  Zhuang Lao laughed and said, "The power of the soul is something that needs to be awakened. The stronger the soul, the later it awakens. Those who are born with souls that surpass ordinary people can at most become a low-level talisman master. Like you, who met me at the age of ten when your soul had just awakened, this is truly a manifestation of a strong soul!"

  "It was like that." Lin Feng nodded.

  Zhuang Lao Dao said, "Those who cultivate the Vermilion Bird's Ten Thousand Images Technique must be powerful symbol masters. Just like me, I am a fifth-level symbol master. In the Symbol Master Guild on the Xuanwu Continent, there are only a few who can compare to me. However, because you were unwilling to acknowledge me as your master previously, I did not guide you onto the path of symbols. Who would have thought that you actually met a young symbol master at Luoyun Sect and he became your master before I could? That little scoundrel really knows how to take advantage of opportunities!"

  "Haha!" Lin Feng also burst out laughing, "Master Wen Hou has been pretty good to me."

  "One million gold coins, a little material, is that all?!" Zhuang Lao disdainfully said, "You young man, you really haven't seen money before! If you were to worship me as your master, I guarantee the things I give you will absolutely exceed what that small symbol master gave you by one thousand times!"

  "I'll make you my master...... forget it!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

  He bowed to Wen Hou as his master because Wen Hou was the leader of Luoyun Sect and also a symbol master. As for Zhuang Lao, his identity was too mysterious, and Lin Feng couldn't figure out what kind of person he was, so naturally he wouldn't rashly acknowledge him as his master.

  His own strength was weak and small, he only thought of protecting Yezi, protecting the Luoyun Sect. As for other things, they were not even within his consideration range.

  "You little scamp! I knew you'd say that!" Old Zhuang sighed with a bitter smile, "Is that Ye Zi really that good?"

  "Ye Zi...... Ah!" At the thought of that lotus-like, otherworldly purple-clad girl, Lin Feng's heart felt a slight burning sensation, and his face also lit up with a radiant glow.

  "Fools in love all end up the same way, you just wait and see, kid! You'll be tearing your heart out!" Old Zhuang shook his head.

  "From what you said, were you heartbroken back then?" Lin Feng smiled and asked.

  "That year, Lao Fu... cough, what are you saying to me! You little scamp, you're actually teasing me!" Old Man Zhuang said with a glare.

  "Haha, that's it!" Lin Feng burst out laughing.

  "Never mind about me, let's talk about you!" Zhuang Lao hummed and said, "Youngster, this time you really got a great bargain! That little symbol master is actually a disciple of the Cloud Top Sect! The Cloud Top Sect, that's the most famous lineage in the symbol master world! Originally thought the Cloud Top Sect's lineage had been cut off, didn't expect the successor to be hiding in this barbaric region!"

  "Is Yun Ding Pai very powerful?" Lin Feng asked.

  "The ancestor of the Cloud Top Sect, the person on top of the cloud, is the only divine ancient symbol master in history who has records. With a casual stroke of his brush in mid-air, he can move mountains and fill seas, with limitless power. You say it's not impressive?"

  "With a single stroke, can one move mountains and fill seas?" Lin Feng's heart was shocked.

  Such skills are almost divine. No wonder he's known as a Divine Symbol Master.

  Zhuang Lao continued, "The mainland's Fu Shi realm has a rumor that the tomb of the person on Yun Ding is hiding the complete ancient Fu Dao inheritance. The old guys in the Fu Shi Guild have been searching for the tomb of the person on Yun Ding for generations, but they've never found it. Kid, if you leave here and venture into the central mainland one day, don't tell anyone that you're a descendant of Yun Ding Pai, got it?"

  "This is natural." Lin Feng nodded and asked doubtfully, "But Old Zhuang, how did you know I was definitely from the Cloud Peak Sect? Maybe it was just my master bragging."

  Lin Feng had always believed in Master Wen's words, but after hearing Old Man Zhuang's words, he was a bit skeptical. If the Cloud Peak Sect was so powerful, how could their successor be just a small first-level symbol master?

  Zhuang Lao hummed and said, "With that little symbol master's strength, if he wasn't the successor of the Cloud Top Sect, it would be impossible for him to know what the Cloud Top Sect is! Such an ancient symbol master sect, in the Symbol Master Guild, are top-secret intelligence, without sufficient status, it's impossible to know. Moreover, the scrolls he gave you, indeed have a few that are in the style of the Cloud Top Sect."

  "It's like that." Lin Feng blinked his eyes, "So to say, I'm really the successor of the Yun Ding Sect? Then shouldn't I be the one to inherit the treasure of the Yun Ding Sect?"

  "Kid, stop dreaming!" Old Zhuang snorted, "Don't even think about such things now, or you won't know how you'll die!"

  "Is it that serious?" Lin Feng said with a bitter smile.

  "With enough strength, one can qualify for such a treasure." Zhuang Lao said with a serious expression, "Your talent is not bad, take it easy and move forward step by step. Maybe you'll have the qualifications to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the true strongmen on the mainland. Only then will you be qualified to say such words. For now, just focus on increasing your own strength!"

  "I understand!" Lin Feng nodded.
