The Spirit Treasure Tower was one of the top hundred pagodas in the Wanxiang Pagoda.
The spirit energy here was three times denser than anywhere else. Cultivating in this place would result in twice the result with half the effort. Of course, if one cultivated in a secret training ground in the Wanxiang Pagoda, then the cultivation speed would be even more terrifying.
However, only heaven-defying geniuses on the Pagoda's Hundreds List who had made great contributions to the pagoda were qualified to train inside for a day or two.
"One water, two fire, three wood, four metal, and five earth. Earth plus water is six, earth plus fire is seven, earth plus wood is eight, earth plus metal is nine, earth plus earth is ten. In total, the number of heaven and earth is fifty, five …"
Feng Feiyun sat in a meditative pose in the depths of the bamboo forest. The gentle breeze blew the bamboo leaves down like pieces of jade floating in the sky, but they couldn't touch his body. When they were three feet away from him, they were blown away by an invisible energy.
"Earth does not give birth to earth, so there is only five and no five more. This way, the number of the Grand Change is fifty, so the number of heaven and earth should also be fifty …"
He held the Eight Arts Volume in his hand and practiced the Verdant Wood Art of the five elements.
After combining the five elements into one, it would be the Minor Change Art. If the Minor Change Art was further developed, it would be the Grand Change Art.
And the Grand Change Art was one of the true eight arts.
The so-called Dark Water Art, Crimson Fire Art, Verdant Wood Art … All of these were only the evolution of the Grand Change Art. There was still a long way to go in order to cultivate the complete and flawless Grand Change Art.
Feng Feiyun held the bamboo scroll with a calm expression and a burning heart. He slightly closed his eyes as if he had turned into one of the bamboo leaves in the forest.
"Whoosh!"
The wind blew by. His body seemed to be made of a balloon as he floated along with the wind while sitting in a meditative pose among the bamboo leaves.
This scene was indescribably strange. If it happened at night, then people would think that he was a ghost.
"Green Wood Order, every plant has a soul …" Feiyun chanted as a light appeared on both of his hands. They intertwined and turned into a green wave.
Murong Ta stood next to the bamboo forest and put on a white daoist robe with the pattern of a spirit stone on his chest. This was the uniform of the Wanxiang Pagoda, and the pattern of the spirit stone meant that he was a disciple of the pagoda.
With both hands behind his back, he stared at the cultivating Feng Feiyun with his bright black eyes and murmured: "After sitting in a meditative pose for seventeen days, he has already learned the wood element. Feng Feiyun's talent as a Treasure Seeking Master is not any weaker than a natural-born spiritualist like me."
More than half a month had passed since the spiritual sense test.
During this period of time, Feng Feiyun continued to teach him about formations and even gave him the Northern Profound Divine Art. It was as if he had completely regarded him as a good friend.
They cultivated together, laughed together, and sometimes even slept together. These days were very rare; they were like two carefree children.
Murong Ta's cooking skills were superb, so Feng Feiyun had a great feast.
During this period of time, Feng Feiyun's understanding of the Eight Arts Volume also increased by leaps and bounds. His Crimson Fire Art had reached grand completion, and he had trained the Verdant Wood Art for seventeen days in a row. Today, he finally had a breakthrough.
Murong Ta touched the bamboo bracelet on his neck. It was made of bamboo tubes strung together. This was a gift from Feng Feiyun on his fourteenth birthday.
"Hey, Murong Ta, this is for you." This was what Feng Feiyun said that day.
"Why are you giving me this?"
Murong Ta looked at the bamboo bracelet and was very angry. This bastard Feng Feiyun was too senseless.
"Isn't today your fourteenth birthday?" Feng Feiyun asked in surprise.
"Is it?" Murong Ta asked.
"I just met your brother, Murong Zhuo, and he told me." Feng Feiyun said with a smile and then stuffed the bamboo bracelet into Murong Ta's hands.
"Eh … I think it's today. I almost forgot my birthday!" Murong Ta said in sudden realization.
"The first person to realize that it's your birthday is often not you, but your best friend." Feng Feiyun said with a smile, "Let's take a look."
"No need!
It looks like a woman's necklace, and … it's so simple and crude. "Murong Ta would never wear something given by Feng Feiyun even if he was beaten to death.
"Hey, don't be like that. I've spent three days picking out the most beautiful spirit bamboos within a radius of fifty kilometers to string them together. Although it's not expensive, this brotherly love is real."
Under Feng Feiyun's repeated requests, although Murong Ta was very unwilling, he still put the bamboo bracelet on in the end.
"Boom!"
A majestic wave of energy came from Feng Feiyun's finger, causing all the bamboos nearby to sway as if they were being controlled by an invisible force.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Countless bamboo leaves flew towards Feng Feiyun's body and turned into a tornado that followed the direction of his finger. A terrifying destructive force flew out and shattered all the bamboos before turning them into dust.
Feng Feiyun suddenly withdrew his finger and gathered his spirit energy as he landed on the ground.
"Grand completion of the Verdant Wood Art. My spiritual sense has increased to 51 times that of an ordinary person."
He already knew that cultivating the Five Elements Secret Art would increase his spiritual sense, but he didn't expect it to increase by this much.
From 42 times to 51 times, he was one step closer to becoming a third rank Treasure Seeking Master.
Feng Feiyun closed his eyes and saw that a second divine intent had been born in his mind. It was bright like a little person glowing with light.
Reaching peak God Base was the cultivation of divine intents. One had to cultivate a total of ten divine intents before reaching grand achievement God Base. This was destined to be a long process and couldn't be achieved in a short period of time like spirit energy cultivation.
After spending half a month to cultivate a second divine intent, Feng Feiyun was quite satisfied with this speed.
Suddenly, a heat wave came from behind him with a monstrous aura that could burn the sky and boil the sea. It appeared out of nowhere like a scorching sun crashing down.
There was actually someone hiding nearby.
Feng Feiyun raised his brows and quickly channeled all the spirit energy in his body into his finger, then he pointed behind him.
This finger controlled countless bamboo leaves. Each leaf was covered in a layer of light and could easily cut through ordinary iron. There were more than 100,000 leaves in the sky, and they all attacked like a rain.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …"
"Boom!"
The flame that suddenly flew out was extremely hot and ignited all the bamboo leaves in the sky. The heat wave scorched the earth and stones as the flames fell down from the sky. It was as if the end of the world had arrived.
In the distance, Murong Ta was slightly startled. The power of Feng Feiyun's move earlier could not be described as weak. Even a great army would be defeated, but it couldn't stop the flames in the sky.
Who was it that came?
Feng Feiyun withdrew his hand and stood back in place. He stared at the crimson flame floating in the sky without any expression on his face.
"Congratulations, Brother Feng's cultivation has taken another step forward."
That ball of scarlet flame was like a huge beating heart, carrying with it a soul-stirring power.
The flames caused the air to distort, making it impossible to clearly see the figure wrapped in the flames.
"I knew it would be you!" Feng Feiyun said.
The person who came was the mysterious master. This person's cultivation was extremely high. Even though Feng Feiyun had reached peak God Base and cultivated two divine intents, his all-out attack earlier was still easily broken by this person.
The flames that enveloped his body were comparable to the Second Dark Hellish Fire.
"After the battle at the Martial Exhibition Tower, Brother Feng's name has spread across the entire pagoda and you are admired by countless young prodigies. Could it be that Brother Feng is willing to remain silent and do not want to compete with the other young prodigies of the pagoda?" The mysterious master's voice was hoarse like the mumbling of a ghost.
"My cultivation is low and I have only reached peak God Base. Why do you want me to be in the limelight?"
Feng Feiyun had guessed the intention of this mysterious master. He knew that this person must have arranged something for him, so he tactfully refused.
"Haha, Brother Feng is too humble. You are ranked 278th on the Pagoda's Hundreds List, and your name has already been carved on the stone platform.
With this cultivation, you can be considered an outstanding talent of the younger generation, so how could it be considered low? "The mysterious master smilingly said.
The 278th place on the list was originally Gu Qing, but after he died in the hands of Feng Feiyun, Feng Feiyun replaced him as the new expert on the list.
Feng Feiyun only smiled and didn't say anything!
The mysterious master entered the pagoda with a big scheme. There were at least ten experts who were stronger than Feng Feiyun, but he chose to find Feng Feiyun.
Of all the people, Feiyun had to be on guard since they came looking for him.
"I sincerely consider Brother Feng as a friend, so I don't want to use the Blood Seal Bracelet to threaten you. Could it be that Brother Feng doesn't even want to give me this little bit of face?" The mysterious master's voice became a bit cold.
Feng Feiyun slightly looked at the black bracelet on his wrist and slightly sighed. The mysterious master's meaning was that if he didn't understand the situation, then he would be ruthless.
Once he put on this bracelet, it would be the same as handing over his life.
He had to open the bracelet as soon as possible. If he continued to be controlled by him like this, the moment he was done using him, it would be his death. Feiyun thought to himself.
"What does Sir want me to do?" Feng Feiyun could only endure at this moment.
"Haha!"
The mysterious master laughed again with great joy. This feeling of having someone in the palm of one's hand was too great. He said: "This matter has many benefits for you and no harm at all. There is an Immeasurable Tower inside the Wanxiang Pagoda. Every disciple that enters the pagoda will definitely go there to challenge it, and all you need to do is to reach the eighth floor."
"Why must I go to the eighth floor?"
If it was so easy, then he wouldn't have come to find Feng Feiyun. This was clearly not an easy matter, or rather, a task as difficult as reaching the heavens.
