Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Invitation from the General Mansion!

After numerous discussions between Ling Feng and Yan Cangtian, they ultimately decided to use the Ten Thousand Evil Poison Fruit to refine two types of elixirs, which would help Yan Cangtian advance to Human Emperor and also aid Ling Feng in opening more meridians.

The two elixirs were the Tianxin Nine Transformation Pill, necessary for advancing to Human Emperor, and the Vein-Breaking Golden Pill, which would help in opening meridians.

With the aid of these two elixirs during cultivation, Ling Feng and Yan Cangtian could naturally make further progress in the shortest time.

However, aside from the Ten Thousand Evil Poison Fruit, the refining of these two elixirs required quite a few precious alchemy materials. Yet, with Yan Cangtian’s financial resources, this was generally not a difficult task, requiring only some time.

After discussing the refinement of these two elixirs, Yan Cangtian left the Heavenly Position Academy in a great hurry to visit the Alchemy Master Guild, determined to retrieve the Demon Transformation Elixir recipe.

Ling Feng, on the other hand, took separate action. Seeing that it was getting dark, he did not rush to General Ying Yang’s Mansion but returned to Tianshu East Courtyard to rest for a day and planned to visit the General Mansion the next day.

According to the rules of Heavenly Position Academy, after completing a mission, students could rest for three days.

These three days should be sufficient to retrieve the Thousand-Year-Old Demon Mirage’s Crystal Core from General Ying Yang’s Mansion and, if things went smoothly, even succeed in refining the Demon Transformation Elixir.

With him and Yan Cangtian, two top Imperial alchemists, refining a mere Demon Transformation Elixir should not be a difficult task.

...

After leaving the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Ling Feng had just returned to the Yellow Character Disciple residential area when he saw a group of soldiers in armor waiting outside the Tianshu East Courtyard. The commanding officer stood at the entrance with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for something.

The appearance of this troop stirred a flurry of discussions among the nearby Yellow Character Disciples.

"This is what, the third time? My goodness, they come here every other day; such a spectacle, tsk tsk tsk!"

"I heard it’s General Deng from General Ying Yang’s Mansion who sent people to invite Chief Ling. Hehe, Xiao Fan, who went out with Chief Ling on a demon-slaying mission, has already come back, so these soldiers are specifically here waiting for Chief Ling to return."

"What in the world is this about?"

"I heard from Ouyang Jing at Tianshu East Courtyard that it seems General Deng has invited Chief Ling over as a guest. In my opinion, Old General Deng must have taken a liking to Chief Ling’s talent and qualifications, and their General Mansion’s young mistress is about the right age for marriage. Maybe they want to arrange a betrothal with Chief Ling?"

"A betrothal? My goodness! If they become in-laws with General Ying Yang’s Mansion, Chief Ling’s future will truly be meteoric!"

Hearing the discussions of the Yellow Character Disciples, Ling Feng couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile. A betrothal? The young miss from General Ying Yang’s Mansion probably wanted to butcher him more than marry him.

Seeing Ling Feng himself appear, the Yellow Character Disciples quickly stopped their discussions and bowed obsequiously, laughing heartily, "Yo, Chief Ling is back!"

"Chief Ling, in these days you weren’t here, everyone missed you!"

"Chief Ling, I heard you’re becoming the son-in-law of the General Mansion!"

...

Ling Feng heard and continued to chuckle wryly, pushing through the crowd to finally reach Tianshu East Courtyard, only to see the animals from Tianshu East Courtyard all swarming around.

"Brother! It’s only been a day, but it feels like three autumns, I’ve missed you so much!"

Ouyang Jing flung open his arms and lunged forward, only to be sidestepped by Ling Feng who frowned and said, "Come on, man, don’t be disgusting!"

"Hehe." Ouyang Jing scratched the back of his head, chuckling, "I mean, Brother, what exactly is your relation with General Ying Yang’s Mansion? This Commander Song has been coming to look for you every two days for the past half-month. Have you really gotten close to the young lady of the General’s Mansion? When did this happen?"

"Hey, hey, is it true, Brother Feng?" Feng Mo and the others also gathered around, eager not to miss out on the excitement.

Lines of frustration appeared on Ling Feng’s forehead, and he shot the group a cold glare, "If you don’t know, then don’t spread rumors!"

At that moment, the leading officer stepped forward, gave Ling Feng a military salute, and said seriously, "May I know if you are Young Master Ling Feng? I am Commander Song Yi, by order of General Deng, to escort Young Master Ling to the mansion for a meeting."

"General Deng is looking for me?" Ling Feng was momentarily stunned, he had been wondering how he could find a reason to visit Elder General Deng, but unexpectedly, Elder General Deng had taken the initiative to send someone after him for the better part of the last month.

What was this about?

Even with all his wit, Ling Feng couldn’t fathom the intentions of Elder General Deng.

"That’s correct," Commander Song nodded, "The General has instructed that Young Master should not feel any pressure, whenever you feel convenient and in good spirits to depart, then I can take you to the General’s Mansion."

"Oh?" Ling Feng touched his nose, hesitated very little, and nodded in agreement, "Elder General Deng is a senior, given that Elder General Deng has invited me, it would be improper not to visit. Please lead the way, Commander, I am ready to follow you now."

"Thank you, Young Master," Commander Song slightly bowed to Ling Feng and made a ’please’ gesture, respectfully saying, "Please come with me, Young Master. I have prepared a carriage; you need only rest inside for a moment, and soon, we’ll arrive at the mansion."

"Oh?" Ling Feng’s lips curved slightly upwards, thinking that Elder General Deng must indeed be quite concerned about something to invite him so considerately.

If that were the case, obtaining the Demon Mirage Crystal Core from the General’s Mansion should not be difficult.

...

The carriage of the General’s Mansion was naturally extremely luxurious; it was not drawn by ordinary horses, but by two Third-Rank Demon Beasts, Blue-Eyed White Tigers.

These beasts pulling the carriage made the journey faster, smoother, and more enduring. Using White Tigers as draft animals showcased the nobility and glory of the General’s Mansion.

Before long, the carriage stopped, and Commander Song opened the door curtain, extremely respectably guiding Ling Feng, "Young Master Ling, we have arrived at the General’s Mansion, please follow me to meet Elder General Deng."

"Mhm." Ling Feng alighted from the carriage, looked up at the majestic gates of the General’s Mansion, truly befitting one of the Empire’s four great generals. Two life-sized Stone Qilins sat at the entrance, imposing like divine beasts, guarding the Mansion’s Qi Fortune.

And right in front of the main gate hung a golden plaque with the words "Ying Yang" written in dynamic, powerful strokes, as if the calligrapher had the might to fend off the Four Seas and Eight Desolates with a single swing of his sword, undoubtedly this person must also be a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

"This is a golden plaque bestowed by the Imperial Emperor, in praise of General Deng’s repeated outstanding merits in defending the land and rivers," Commander Song’s eyes reflected immense respect as he murmured, "Since joining the military, General Deng has participated in countless battles, big and small, no less than a hundred times, always taking the lead against the Demon Clan or neighboring countries, fighting valiantly on the battlefield! General Deng is the person I respect the most!"

Ling Feng touched his nose, reminiscing about General Deng Xian’s disciplined demeanor, feeling a similar respect in his heart.

The red lacquered gates gradually opened, and Commander Song collected his thoughts, bowed to Ling Feng once again, and said softly, "Young Master Ling, please follow me."
