Chapter 9 Guests
"What is this?"
The moment Ling Yifeng touched the scroll, he only felt a trace of coldness in his hand, and then it was as soft as jade, the weight was very light, and it was very smooth to the touch, but he could feel that there were vague lines on it, and he didn't know what kind of material it was made of.
"This is for you, you should take good care of it yourself in the future!"
Ling Yifeng was slightly stunned, didn't you just say that the things here belong to the family's property and can't be moved at will?
Ling Cheng saw Ling Yifeng's doubts, took a deep breath, and said, "This thing doesn't belong to the family, it belongs to you!"
Ling Yifeng was even more puzzled, he looked down at the scroll carefully, he couldn't think of how this could be his own, he had never seen it before!
"This thing has been kept here for thirteen years, and it was originally going to be handed over to you when you reach the Spirit Yuan Realm, but it's a pity...... So I'm going to hand it over to you today!" Ling Cheng seemed to have something unspeakable.
Thirteen years?Ling Yifeng's heart suddenly moved, didn't he just turn thirteen this year?Could this thing have anything to do with his background?
Ling Cheng was silent for a moment, then sighed, Ling Yifeng keenly pricked up his ears and held his breath to concentrate, he faintly felt that what Ling Cheng was going to say next was related to a huge secret.
"This is something your mother left you, let me wait until you reach the Spirit Yuan Realm and then hand it over to you!" Ling Cheng finally spoke slowly: "If you can't reach the Spirit Yuan Realm or your talent is not good, and you can't reach the Spirit Yuan Realm until you are twenty years old, then bury this scroll forever and let you live as an ordinary person!"
Ling Yifeng felt a "buzz" in his head, and it seemed that he couldn't hear any sound anymore, he looked at the scroll in his hand in a daze, thinking that the woman he called his mother held him in his arms, gently shaking him and making him laugh...... He could not recall his infant life, but he often dreamed and fantasized about his mother, but he could never see her blurry face or hear her gentle voice.
He hadn't seen his mother for as long as he could remember, and his father avoided mentioning her in front of him, and his impression of his mother was only a vague memory of his infancy. He didn't know why his mother left him, and he didn't know if his mother was still in this world, but he was very sensible since he was a child, and if his father didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy had a handsome face, and every time Ling Yifeng looked in the mirror, he found that he was not completely as handsome as Ling Cheng, and there was a kind of clean and beautiful face on his handsome face, like a girl's beauty. It is said that a woman is like a father and a son, Ling Yifeng looks at herself in the mirror and often thinks about what kind of woman does her mother have?
He didn't know why his mother left him, but when he saw the scroll today, he knew that his mother loved him.
"Dad, I... Can I see my mother again?" Ling Yifeng raised his head, his eyes were fixed on Ling Cheng's eyes, and his voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, he was afraid that Ling Cheng would give him an answer that he couldn't accept, so he never dared to ask.
After a long silence, Ling Cheng said slowly: "I have never mentioned your mother's affairs to you, you must be very resentful of me, right? But I have my own reasons for inconvenience to mention it, so let's make an agreement with you, if you have the opportunity to enter the 'Tianluo Spirit Academy' to practice, I will tell you about your mother!"
"Tianluo Spirit Academy?" Ling Yifeng raised his eyebrows, he knew about this Spirit Academy, and from the very beginning when he entered the Tiannan Spirit Academy, he regarded the Tianluo Spirit Academy as his goal, although entering the Tianluo Spirit Academy required extremely harsh conditions, but he believed that with his talent and hard work, he would definitely be able to enter it.
"Tianluo Spiritual Academy" is the largest spiritual courtyard in the Tianluo Empire and even in the southwest of the Piaoyu Continent, and there are no more than a handful of spiritual courtyards comparable to it in the entire Piaoyu Continent. It can be called a transcendent force on the Floating Feather Continent, but unlike ordinary families and sects, it is not condensed by blood, intimacy, or any other force. It is a place that nurtures the strong, but is not bound by it for life. For thousands of years, countless strong people have come out of it, and countless people have wanted to enter it. Because for those cultivators who have no background behind them and no power to support them, only here can they get the best cultivation resources, and it can be said that this is a "shortcut" that can make them become strong. However, all of those who are qualified to enter this place are gifted geniuses, and even a group of people known as "demons".
Ling Cheng didn't deliberately make things difficult for Ling Yifeng when he set such a goal, if Ling Yifeng could really get the protection of such a behemoth force, then it would be of great help to him in the future. If he couldn't enter the Tianluo Spirit Academy, firstly, it meant that his talent was not very outstanding, and secondly, if he could not be protected by such a huge force, it would be better for him not to let him know about his mother's affairs.
Back in his hut, Ling Yifeng took out the black scroll and studied it carefully, Ling Cheng had told him that he could only open it if his strength reached the Spirit Yuan Realm, and he could see what his mother had left him inside.
But he couldn't wait to open the scroll now, just because it was the only information he could get to his mother's clue at the moment.
He tried to input his spiritual power into the scroll, but was bounced back by an invisible obstacle, and he tried to increase his spiritual power again and again, until he used all his strength to open it. I don't know what material this scroll is made of, and Ling Yifeng couldn't destroy it even if he tried his best to input spiritual power.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Yifeng gave up trying, Ling Cheng had warned him that only his Ling Yifeng's spiritual power could open this scroll, if it was forcibly cracked by other spiritual powers, the scroll would be irreversibly damaged!
"Is this a problem that my mother left me? Why did Daddy give it to me now, can't he wait until I advance to the Spirit Yuan Realm to give it to me, is it to motivate me to cultivate?" Ling Yifeng carefully put it away, although he knew that this thing was very difficult to destroy, he was still cautious, for fear of stumbling.
Three days later.
"Knock knock!"
As soon as Ling Yifeng withdrew from his cultivation state, he heard a knock on the door. From the time Ling Yifeng got the scroll, he had worked harder and harder to cultivate in order to be able to reach the Spirit Yuan Realm as soon as possible.
When he opened the door, he saw Ling Cheng looking at him with a mysterious face: "There are important guests visiting tonight, you can prepare well and receive it with me in the evening, don't be rude!"
"Guest?" Ling Yifeng was confused, he usually stayed in his cabin and never cared about his father's business, and his father also knew that he liked to be quiet, and never arranged for him to receive any guests, but today his father made himself prepare to meet a strange guest, and he was so mysterious?
"You'll know when you go, don't embarrass me!" Ling Cheng suddenly pinched his nose: "You smell of sweat and wash it off quickly!" After speaking, he turned around and left.
Ling Yifeng didn't bother to think about it, anyway, his cultivation today was over, and the things in the evening wouldn't delay him much, so it didn't hurt to go.
Ling Yifeng took off his practice clothes covered with stinky sweat, and when he smelled it slightly, he couldn't help but wrinkle his nose, this was the impurity he brought out of his body when he was cultivating.
Jumping into the wooden bucket filled with hot water, Ling Yifeng took a comfortable bath, the right water temperature allowed him to relax the muscles of his whole body comfortably, and he was about to fall asleep comfortably. Since my father said that he was an important guest, at least I had to clean up and resolutely not embarrass my father!
It was getting dark, the Ling family rang the dinner bell, and Ling Yifeng wore a neat white robe, simple but elegant.
It was a small banquet, with only Ling Cheng and the three elders seated, as well as a few deacons of high status in the family.
The time was just right, and he was finally not late, and when Ling Yifeng had just taken his seat, everyone in the Ling family waited for the guests and then stepped into the hall.
Ling Yifeng was slightly stunned, the guests who came in were actually a trio led by a woman in a red dress, and behind her were two tall men, one old and one strong.
This is what Ling Cheng calls a distinguished guest?
The two men wore uniform attire, a navy blue robe with flowing clouds and flames tattooed on the cuffs and neckline, and on the chest, embellished with blue-yellow copper tripods and gold ripples, but the number was different. Ling Yifeng counted carefully, there were two copper tripods and two ripples on his chest in his prime, while the old man had three copper tripods and one ripple.
Ling Yifeng had a look of surprise on his face, he was also well-informed, and he recognized that this was the uniform costume of the Pill Medicine Master Guild. Only a Pill Pharmacist who has passed the certification of the Pill Pharmacist Guild is eligible to wear this costume, and how difficult it is to become a Pill Pharmacist. Anyone who wears this costume will have a sense of pride and pride, and they will be treated as guests wherever they go.
This prime-aged man's two tripods and two patterns represent that he is a second-grade intermediate pill pharmacist, and the old man's three tripods and one pattern represent that he is an elixir master who can refine a third-grade primary pill! This level of pill pharmacist can be regarded as second to none in Luoyu City and even the surrounding towns!
A rare creature like the Pill Medicine Master, it is extremely rare to meet one in normal times, but I didn't expect that two of them came at once today, and the woman in the red dress didn't know what it was, and she was still walking in front of them.
Sure enough, it is not too much to say that he is a distinguished guest. The other three major families in Luo Yu City probably dreamed of inviting one or two pill pharmacists to their house to sit down, and the news that two pill pharmacists had visited the Ling family at the same time was enough to make them envious.
When they entered, everyone stood up and saluted them, and Ling Cheng personally greeted them with a smile on his face.
