Chapter 1115: Jin Nanqing
"Elders! Look over there, he’s that young god-rank alchemist." Jiao Huanfeng and Jiao Suyin immediately turned their attention towards the direction Jiao Meili was pointing. Jiao Meili was pointing, and their gazes fell on Zhang Fei [5], who was chatting with Luo Yunxiao and the others in one of the rows of people.
As experienced alchemists, both Jiao Huanfeng and Jiao Suyin could smell a strong scent of herbs coming from Zhang Fei [5], even though they were quite far away. However, both people were shocked when they saw Luo Fenghan and his family members with him. "Did Luo Lianjin tell you anything about that kid yesterday?"
"That old bastard was unwilling to reveal that kid’s true identity." Both Jiao Huanfeng and Jiao Suyin watched them seriously, but they seemed curious about Luo Yunxiao’s familiarity with Luo Fenghan, and they felt that their faces were quite similar. "Have you ever heard that Luo Fenghan has a daughter? Why does that little girl’s face look similar to his face?"
"No." Jiao Huanfeng shook his head. "Back then, I attended the wedding of Luo Fenghan’s two sons, but I didn’t see that little girl there. To my knowledge, there has never been any news mentioning that he had a daughter prior to this."
Jiao Suyin nodded in understanding before turning to the people behind them. "Jiao Yunbai, I want you to keep an eye on the young woman by Luo Fenghan’s side, and I want you to find out as much detailed information about her as possible."
"Yes, Elder." The young man looked at them before licking his lips. ’Haha! That woman is truly beautiful and sexy!’
.
.
.
"Hmm?" Zhang Fei [5] raised an eyebrow and looked at the Jiao Clan’s group.
Luo Yunxiao noticed Zhang Fei [5]’s reaction. "What happened, husband? Do you know them?"
"They—"
Luo Fenghan spoke to them directly. "They are from the Jiao Clan, and they are quite skilled in alchemy, with ten god-rank alchemists in their clan. Did you meet them during the alchemy test yesterday?"
"Yes." Zhang Fei [5] nodded at him as he activated his natural awareness ability. "Jiao Moli and Jiao Meili also took the test here, and we met there, so they should already know my identity as a god-rank alchemist. Are Jiao Huanfeng and Jiao Suyin important elders in the Jiao Clan, fathers-in-law? I can sense something missing from them, and they are clearly targeting me, especially the old man."
Luo Fenghan nodded at him. "They were two of the ten important elders in the Jiao Clan, and Jiao Huanfeng was the leader of those elders. That old man was notorious for his bad behavior, particularly towards young and talented alchemists. Since they already know your identity as a god-rank alchemist, you shouldn’t be surprised if he targets you, especially since you’re the youngest alchemist to reach that rank."
"You’re wrong about that." Feng Yao joined in their conversation. "The youngest god-rank alchemist in this era is Jin Nanqing, and he is Luo Lianjin’s master. That little brat should be in this sect now, and I believe he will appear soon specifically to meet Zhang Fei."
’Empress Huo! You’re the only person who dares to call Jin Nanqing a little brat!’ Luo Fenghan inwardly muttered while wearing a bitter smile.
"Who is the top female alchemist in this realm?" Zhang Fei [5] curiously asked.
"Hehe." Feng Yao chuckled and teased him. "Are you thinking of courting her? Why don’t you take Lin Jingxia as your wife? Her talent in alchemy is not inferior to that woman, but unfortunately, she was born in the three mortal realms. If she were born in this realm, I’m sure she would have long surpassed her and Jin Nanqing, and she would have become the best alchemist in this realm."
"Haha." Zhang Fei [5] simply laughed at that.
Feng Yao immediately told him. "Huo Lanyin is the best female alchemist in this realm, but you have to know that this realm is different from the Three Mortal Realms, and the abilities of the alchemists here are not that different. Apart from her and Jin Nanqing, there are eight other alchemists whose abilities are almost equal to them."
"Hmm?" Zhang Fei [5] turned to her. "Did Huo Lanyin have a relationship with you in the past?"
"Yes." Feng Yao admitted it directly. "Huo Lanyin comes from my Huo Clan, but she is two generations below me, and she lives in my palace in the Blazing Nirvana Domain."
Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding. "How about you bring Lin Jingxia to your domain? If she trains in alchemy with you and Huo Lanyin, her abilities will be further honed, and she will be able to surpass them."
"I don’t have a problem with that, but you should discuss this matter with Lin Jingxia first. If she agrees, I will take her to my domain when I’m ready to go back there." Feng Yao then looked at a middle-aged man who had just appeared in the ranks of the elders of the Divine Samsara Sect. "That little brat is Jin Nanqing."
Zhang Fei [5] looked at Jin Nanqing, who was also looking at him. The middle-aged man sent him a voice transmission and invited him to meet, to which he immediately agreed.
Zhang Fei [5] asked him to meet inside the Forbidden Land, and Ji Nanqing agreed to that. "He will meet us there."
"That’s a good choice, so you won’t stand out too much in these people’s eyes." Feng Yao suddenly sensed someone’s hot gaze on her, and it was all too easy for her to find its owner. She faintly smiled and shot something at the owner, which immediately entered that person’s body. ’Heh! You’re lucky I’m in a good mood, or else I will kill you right here right now.’
Not long after, the sect master of the Divine Samsara Sect, Liang Huizhong, arrived at the location. He provided some information and pointers for the participants before asking the elders to lead the participants to begin their tests.
Yu Shan immediately approached Zhang Fei [5]’s group, especially since he was the one in charge of escorting them. He was a little surprised when he saw Feng Xueying and Feng Jinqiu among them, and he immediately recognized their identities as ice phoenixes because of the cold aura emanating from their bodies.
Yu Shan could sense Zhang Fei [5]’s Yang Qi within Feng Xueying and Feng Jinqiu’s bodies, especially since they had cultivated using it in the past two decades or so. ’This little kid is really lucky! Not only does he have Empress Huo as his wife, but he got two ice phoenixes as his wives too.’ "Let’s head to the test ground."
.
.
.
Sometime later, they arrived at an open field with a device in the middle, which was almost identical to Zhang Fei [5]’s training space. "Is the device what I think, Feng Yao?"
"Yes." Feng Yao nodded at him. "Just like the Xianjin Realm, the Sky Pillar Domain is filled with modern equipment, and the device in the middle is one of their creations. I’m sure you will enjoy that domain, particularly because it is quite similar to Earth."
Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding. "I’ll go to that domain later, especially since I need some modern equipment."
"I’ll start the test now, and you guys can take your turn doing it." Yu Shan immediately walked to the center and activated the device, summoning ten beast statues. "As previously explained, the first test is the silent step, and you only need to cross to the far side without waking more than three statues. However, the gravity in this place is two times heavier than the surrounding area, so your steps will be very heavy."
"Hehe." Luo Yunxiao giggled and got ready. "Husband, I’ll do it first."
"Yes." Zhang Fei [5] nodded at her.
Yu Shan immediately spoke to her. "If you’re ready, you—"
Swoosh
"Huh?" Yu Shan was shocked when Luo Yunxiao had crossed to the far side. ’What the hell? How can she move that fast? Does she really not feel the change in gravity?’
Luo Yunxiao stood at the far side and asked him, "Did I pass, Elder Yu?"
"You passed." Yu Shan looked at the others. "Next."
Zhang Fei [5] immediately asked. "Elder Yu, can we cross there at the same time?"
"Hmm?" Yu Shan frowned at that, but he could see that Zhang Fei [5] and the others were very confident, except for Luo Fenghan’s two sons and daughters-in-law. "Usually, I won’t allow that, but you guys can try it if you are confident about passing this first test."
Zhang Fei [5] turned to Yan Jinwu and the others. "Brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, we will be waiting for the four of you there."
Zhang Fei [5], Yan Jinwu, Sima Huiqing, Feng Xueying, and Feng Jinqiu moved at the same time. In just a few seconds, they had already arrived at Luo Yunxiao’s side, leaving Yu Shan shocked again.
Before Yu Shan recovered from his shock, Feng Yao had already led her parents through the area, and they also had no difficulty passing the first test.
Yu Shan massaged his forehead as he saw them standing relaxed at the end of the area. ’How exactly do they train their speed? Apart from Empress Huo, their speed was simply abnormal!’ "Fenghan, it’s your two sons’ and two daughters-in-law’s turn."
"I will be waiting for you at the end of the line." Luo Fenghan moved to the other side.
