Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Dragon Blood Holy Fruit! (1 more)

Three days later, Vice Principal Tong Chengtai, after extensive investigation, found that Lio Shengjie indeed provoked the incident first. However, because Lio Shengjie sustained serious injuries and lost face, no punishment was issued.

Ling Feng, having injured Lio Shengjie, compensated five million Crystal Coins and was additionally ordered to apologize verbally. Furthermore, within the academy, he was to be criticized in an internal announcement.

This form of punishment was essentially just a formality. In fact, since Lio Shengjie did not wish to appear in public anymore, even the verbal apology was waived, leaving Ling Feng with only the loss of five million Crystal Coins.

For Ling Feng at his current wealth, that was merely a trifle.

Regarding such a "verdict," Xuanyuanao certainly felt dissatisfied, but against the vice principal’s final say, he had nothing to argue.

In the end, he could only spew harsh words at Ling Feng and Goo Tengfeng, threatening to trample the East Courtyard Sword Team underfoot once more during the Great Sword Team Competition of the Five Academies.

There and then, Goo Tengfeng made a wager with Xuanyuanao. If during this year’s Great Competition the East Courtyard Sword Team were to lose to the West Courtyard Sword Team again, he would kneel and kowtow a hundred times before Xuanyuanao, and run naked around the Heavenly Position Academy for ten laps!

The same applied to Xuanyuanao.

Xuanyuanao, as usual, looked down upon the East Courtyard Sword Team and readily agreed to the wager. This bet caused quite a stir within the Heavenly Position Academy.

However, it was clear to everyone that Goo Tengfeng had indeed recruited quite a few promising newcomers this year. As to how they would perform during the Great Competition, everyone could only wait and see.

...

With the storm settled, Goo Tengfeng was determined not to be the one to streak around the Heavenly Position Academy.

Hence, the training intensity for the members of the East Courtyard Sword Team was increased once more!

Almost every day was filled with hell-style training. Compared to Goo Tengfeng, the "Devil Instructor" Leng Jianfeng wasn’t even worthy of the title "Devil".

In the blink of an eye, half a month quietly passed.

One day, a visitor unexpectedly arrived at the Tianshu East Courtyard.

Oh no, to be precise, there were two.

Yue Yunlan and her maid Qiaoqiao!

Naturally, the "beasts" of the Tianshu East Courtyard were flattered by the sudden visit from the most beautiful girl of the Central Courtyard.

Yet, they knew Yue Yunlan was not there to see them but their boss, Ling Feng.

"Miss Yue, what brings you to visit me personally today?"

Ling Feng saw Yue Yunlan and her maid standing prettily at the door and showed a faint smile.

"Hey hey hey, am I not here personally as well?" Qiaoqiao gave Ling Feng a white glance, a face of protest.

"Yes, yes, yes," Ling Feng shook his head and chuckled, "Then what brings Miss Qiaoqiao here so unexpectedly?"

"That’s more like it! I’ll tell you the truth, Miss and I are here to give you some good news!" Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes and giggled.

"What good news?"

Qiaoqiao lowered her voice, leaned to Ling Feng’s ear, and whispered, "In three days, Sky Alliance Commerce’s auction house is going to auction off a Dragon Blood Holy Fruit."

"Dragon Blood Holy Fruit?"

Ling Feng’s eyes lit up. He had previously read many medical books and was familiar with countless spirit flowers and herbs needed for treating illnesses. Later, in Yan Cangtian’s study, he had acquired knowledge of all kinds of exotic flowers and fruits in the world.

He naturally came across the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit in those books and had a general understanding of its effects.

The Dragon Blood Holy Fruit was a top-grade treasure for Martial Artists at the Origin Transformation Realm to enhance their cultivation. After consuming it, one could almost certainly ascend to the next realm, such as from the Fifth Level of Origin Transformation Realm directly to the Sixth Level. However, to use it directly for enhancing one’s cultivation would be somewhat of a waste, as it was considered a valuable item for prodigies at the Magnetic Condensation Realm to stimulate their potential.

Generally speaking, only the young members of major clans had the opportunity to consume such Heaven and Earth Exotic Fruits.

Yue Yunlan glanced at Ling Feng and said with a smile, "I believe you already understand what the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit signifies."

"A year ago, I had consumed a Dragon Blood Holy Fruit myself. It fully unleashed the potential in my body, allowing me to successfully break through from the Forty-nine Meridians to the Fifty Meridians. Moreover, within just a year, I have already opened more than sixty meridians. I think that even though you haven’t reached the bottleneck of the Forty-nine Meridians, with your foundation, you should still need a treasure like the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit."

Yue Yunlan paused, bit her lip, and then continued, "I just happened to pass by the area of the Yellow Character Disciples when I thought of you, so I came to inform you..."

"Just happened to pass by? You clearly went out of your way..."

Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but interject, only to receive a stern look from Yue Yunlan. She reluctantly pouted her lips and fell silent.

"Regardless, thank you for sharing this information, Miss Yue."

Ling Feng gave a respectful bow. The Dragon Blood Holy Fruit was indeed the very treasure he needed.

And if it weren’t for Yue Yunlan’s reminder, he might have missed this opportunity to bid for the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit.

Seeing Ling Feng’s genuine gaze, Yue Yunlan’s face flushed with a hint of red as she said with pursed lips, "This news was released half a month ago. The intention is obvious: it is to give those scions of the great families in the Imperial City enough time to gather Elemental Stones so that the fruit can be auctioned for a sky-high price. Thus, the competition at the auction will be fierce."

Her words held true. Now, within the entire Imperial City, not only were the prodigies from the Four Great Universities stirred, but some old monsters were also showing keen interest. After all, they might not need it themselves, but they could save it for their descendants.

Yue Yunlan’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head. Although he had a Supreme VIP Card that could be overdrawn, he feared this Dragon Blood Holy Fruit would fetch a far higher price than the last Sword Enlightenment Stone or even the finale of the twelve ancient elixirs.

Without three to five hundred thousand Upper Grade Elemental Stones, he might not even qualify to compete.

"It looks like I’ll need to find a way to gather some Elemental Stones."

Ling Feng touched his nose and suddenly frowned, an idea forming in his mind.

Of course, he wasn’t thinking of emulating Yan Cangtian’s last approach by selling elixirs cheaply. In fact, he had something much simpler and more readily available that he was certain he could sell for a good price!

Inside the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, even a random stone, a drop of water, or a leaf from inside the Five Elements Primordial Realm contained the most pure Five Elements Attribute Power.

Take, for instance, the rivers in the Water Origin Realm—these rivers were formed from the purest Water Spiritual Power and could be treated as Elemental Stones of the Water attribute.

What was most important was that they also contained a trace of Water Element Rules Power. If he were to take out and auction the river water from the Water Origin Realm, it would surely be coveted by Water attribute cultivators. Selling it for a sky-high price was not improbable.

No sooner said than done, Ling Feng immediately took out several porcelain bottles. With a thought, he filled a few bottles with river water from the Water Origin Realm, then turned to Yue Yunlan and said, "Miss Yue, how about we make a trip to the Sky Alliance Commerce together?"

Yue Yunlan saw that Ling Feng had filled several bottles with "Spiritual Liquid" full of Water attribute spiritual energy and was asking her to take him to the Sky Alliance Commerce—she knew exactly what Ling Feng was planning.

"Mm."

Yue Yunlan nodded. She was aware that Ling Feng’s Five Elements Heavenly Palace was filled with treasures, and raising Elemental Stones was merely a trivial matter for him.

And so, Ling Feng, accompanied by Yue Yunlan and her servant, left the Heavenly Position Academy and headed toward the Sky Alliance Commerce at a brisk pace.
