Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Xiao Hei’s Transformation, Cause and Effect"Brother Zhou, hurry, I want to become a disciple of the Alchemy Dao lineage. Why didn’t you tell me this good news earlier?" Xu Feng agreed without hesitation upon hearing the conditions.

    "It’s because I saw you had concerns before, and even with so many invitations, you didn’t accept any."

    A light screen appeared in front of Zhou Minghe. After randomly tapping on it a few times, he spoke up.

    "Xiao Hei, by the name of my master, I specially recruit Xu Feng as a core disciple into the Alchemy Dao lineage, establishing his own branch without joining any other peaks."

    "Granting him privileges, as a core Alchemy Dao disciple, he will rank one level higher on the leaderboard," Zhou Minghe formally declared.

    At this moment, a light screen also appeared in front of Xu Feng, and the voice of Xiao Hei sounded.

    "Core disciple Xu Feng, you are invited by Saint Master Meng of Taichu Sacred Land to join the Alchemy Dao lineage, with autonomy and the corresponding privileges."

    "May I ask if you accept?"

    Xiao Hei’s voice carried a bit more solemnity than before.

    "I accept!" Xu Feng nodded.

    A crisp sound rang out, and a unique communication treasure appeared in front of Xu Feng. This was a core exclusive communication device from Taichu Sacred Land.

    At the same time, a special energy merged into Xu Feng’s body.

    In Xu Feng’s perception, the Taichu Sacred Land became a few degrees clearer than before.

    Then Xiao Hei sent a long message. Xu Feng roughly scanned it—it was at least 100,000 characters detailing the benefits related to core disciples.

    After everything was completed, Xu Feng picked up the new communication treasure and saw that his status had already been updated to core Alchemy Dao disciple in Xiao Hei’s records.

    "Now that you have higher privileges here with Xiao Hei, it will be more convenient for you to do things in Taichu Sacred Land from now on," Zhou Minghe said.

    "So, the tasks issued by the Sacred Land in the future, I must accept them, right?"

    "Yes, while enjoying the benefits, you also have to bear the responsibilities. But don’t worry, the tasks assigned by the Sacred Land will just be refining a few batches of spirit pills for you," Zhou Minghe said as he took out a few spirit pills and placed them in front of Xu Feng.

    "Disciple Xu, regarding the research on substituting spirit pills for inner cores, I have made some new progress on my side. How about we discuss the Dao together?"

    "Brother Zhou is willing to share his achievements, I couldn’t ask for more."

    So Xu Feng picked up the spirit pills and began his exploration.

    Three days later, Xu Feng returned to the Xu Family Courtyard.

    "Brother Zhou is truly worthy of being the top of the Spirit Level ranking list. His Medicine Scripture may not be as good as mine, but his talent is terrifying."

    A spirit pill that could replace the inner core of a Thunder Cloud Flood Dragon appeared in Xu Feng’s hands.

    "Xiao Hei, how many Nirvana Pills for little phoenixes are needed in the treasure vault of the Sacred Land now?"

    Xu Feng had asked this question before, and had only received an answer of insufficient authority.

    "The Nirvana Pills for little phoenixes are the main stock of spirit pills. Currently, there is a shortage of 200,000 pills, and the treasure vault has prepared materials for over 40,000 batches," Xiao Hei’s voice sounded from the new communication device, as sweet as a well-behaved child.

    "Higher privileges really make a difference~"

    "Xiao Hei, who is the most talented and young Spirit Level Artifact Refiner in the Spirit Clan?" Xu Feng asked an old question again.

    "As the message network hasn’t penetrated the inner world of the Spirit Clan and is only present in Kun Xu Realm, the most talented and youngest Spirit Level Artifact Refiner identified is named Gu Yue, and the most famous Dao artifact refined by him is..."

    "What’s the best way to capture the most talented Spirit Level Artifact Refiner of the Spirit Clan?"

    Xu Feng, as if he had discovered a new mode of artificial intelligence, began asking questions he had always wanted to ask.

    "As an Alchemy Genius of Taichu Sacred Land, announce a message using your identity. There’s a 70% chance of getting a talented Artifact Refiner from the Spirit Clan in exchange for owing a favor."

    "Spending 1 million Immortal Crystals to put a bounty on any Spirit Level Artifact Refiner from the Spirit Clan will have an 80% chance of success."

    Another light screen appeared in front of Xu Feng, which listed nearly 100 Spirit Level Artifact Refiners from the Spirit Clan.

    Xu Feng felt especially exhilarated by Xiao Hei’s considerate service, like on a scorching summer day after sweating profusely, suddenly gulping down an ice-cold drink.

    "For now, let’s first figure out how to gather a million Immortal Crystals."

    In the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle was sprawled out on the plaza of the Evil Tiger Tribe, enjoying a massage and back brushing from several robust women.

    A few little girls beside them were peeling spirit fruits picked from the surrounding area. After peeling them, they served them directly in a basin to the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle.

    Ignoring the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle who was indulging in the moment, Xu Feng as usual flew towards Qingqiu Mountain.

    At that time, on Qingqiu Mountain, a woman with a dragon pattern on her brow, dressed in a green long dress, was happily chatting with a nine-tailed female. S~ea??h the N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Before Xu Feng got close to Qingqiu Mountain, his Divine Thought felt the might of a dragon.

    Then he saw the woman on Qingqiu Mountain with the dragon pattern on her brow.

    Just then, the woman looked up towards the sky in the direction of Xu Feng’s Divine Thought.

    Instantly, Xu Feng’s Divine Thought was locked by the dragon power, and an awe-inspiring dragon cry exploded in his Divine Thought.

    At this moment, Xu Feng almost couldn’t hold on, his Divine Thought was about to scatter and leave the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World,

    "If you act like this, Dragon Court Princess, you won’t be able to see such romance novels in the future."

    The voice of the nine-tailed female was like a refreshing spring, resolving the divine power in Xu Feng’s Divine Thought.

    "I was just curious to explore."

    "Master Xu, pardon me for not restraining my dragon might just now," a female voice with a dragon chant sounded.

    "Your Excellency must be the Fourth Princess of the Dragon Court, your presence today indeed is extraordinary," Xu Feng said, neither overbearing nor servile. He had seen plenty of such shows of dominance before in the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World.

    The first time he saw the Xuan Turtle, the first time he met the nine-tailed women, it was like this.

    "You gave Meng Bai those long serial novels, I’ve read one or two, they are very good."

    "It’s a pity that I’ve been grounded by my family lately, and don’t have much good stuff to offer you."

    "I heard you have a Spirit Turtle beast that can eat the shell of the Golden Crow eggs, I just happen to have a bunch here, I’ll give them to you." The woman waved her hand, and a pile of Golden Crow eggshells imbued with the aura of the Sun Essence Fire appeared.

    Upon seeing this, Xu Feng unceremoniously pulled his turtle son over.

    "Thank you, Fourth Princess."

    After receiving Xu Feng’s cue, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle quickly made its way to the pile of eggshells.

    This pile was larger than the one given by the nine-tailed women before.

    But in front of the turtle son’s big mouth, they were all eaten in no time.

    At this time, the Sun Essence Fire ignited on the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle’s body, and the phantom of a Golden Crow appeared above the flames.

    The golden light emanating from the Golden Crow grew stronger and eventually transformed into a blazing sun.

    In concert with the great sun in the sky.

    "After all these years, it’s good to have disposed of the eggshells, otherwise, giving them to other dragons would have involved karmic consequences," said the woman with a dragon pattern on her brow, smiling.

    "Master Xu, I’ve heard that the strength of the Human Clan in your Great World is no less than that of our Dragon Court."

    "If given the chance, and you were to grow stronger, how about we measure our respective worlds’ ways against each other?" The Fourth Princess of the Dragon Court grinned, showing a row of sharp dragon teeth.

    "That would be an honor I could only hope for," Xu Feng nodded.

    He hadn’t expected that his trip to Qingqiu Mountain would yield such significant benefits.

    "Alright, I won’t chat with you anymore."

    "Meng Bai, I’m leaving now, I’m taking all your jade scroll novels with me."

    "When I finish reading them, I’ll come back to get more from you."

    After saying this, the Fourth Princess disappeared amidst the reluctant send-off from the nine-tailed woman.

    "Meng Bai, the act of feeding little Jin the Golden Crow eggshells, is it because..."

    Now alone with the nine-tailed woman, Xu Feng quickly voiced the doubts in his heart.

    "When those few Golden Crow eggs were ingested, they actually had a True Spirit within them, we just consumed the most divine essence of the eggs."

    "Only the eggshells were left, if we had also eaten the shells, then we would have had an unending enmity with the Golden Crow clan."

    "??"

    Xu Feng expressed confusion, "You have only the eggshells left, isn’t that already unending enmity?"

    "Eating an entire egg would result in a mark from the Golden Crow clan. With this mark, the Golden Crow clan can sense the location of the mark at any time."

    "So you left the eggshells behind to avoid being marked."

    "But little Jin has eaten the eggshells, wouldn’t he bear this ’pot’ on your behalf in the future?"

    "What you refer to as a ’pot’ must be a karmic consequence, sure, some of it has to be carried, but the bulk of the karmic consequence still rests with us."

    "Besides, your little Jin often travels between worlds, so even if he consumes all this pile of eggshells, the karmic consequences he bears would absolutely baffle the Golden Crow clan tracing this karma," said the nine-tailed woman with a smile.

    "So little Jin is the perfect candidate to dispose of the evidence."

    "Exactly~"

    "Otherwise, the Golden Crow eggshells would have been eaten by my kin long ago," the nine-tailed woman nodded lightly.

    Although Xu Feng felt a bit used, it was because he had value to be taken advantage of.

    He didn’t feel much unfairness psychologically; he felt like he was the beneficiary in this exchange.

    "When will the confinement of the Fourth Princess and Meng Bai be lifted?" Xu Feng asked curiously.

    "Once that old Golden Crow gets over the grief of losing its children, only then can the confinement relax a bit."

    "But it won’t be long now, the fact that the Fourth Princess can occasionally come out to play from the Dragon Abyss indicates that the anger of the Fusang Divine Palace is subsiding."

    At this point, there was an excitement in the nine-tailed woman’s voice, but then it faded.

    "The Fourth Princess may have her imprisonment reduced, but not me; it was good enough that I could save my life at the time."

    "If I’m sneaky about my imprisonment, then the Fusang Divine Palace will probably have to make an example out of my clan," the nine-tailed woman heaved a sigh.

    "Once my strength improves a bit more, I’ll be able to directly record images and light on the jade scrolls, then I’ll record the interesting stories of my Immortal Realm for Meng Bai to see," Xu Feng said.

    This nine-tailed woman was the first creature in the Divine Beast World who didn’t exclude him and who could possibly offer help; the second was the Xuan Turtle.

    "Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel like it was a mistake not telling you about the Golden Crow eggshell thing in advance."

    The nine-tailed woman’s tone was somewhat apologetic, and her eyes conveyed a pitiable look towards Xu Feng’s Divine Thought.

    "Meng Bai, don’t look at me like that, your charm is too great; it might sweep me away," Xu Feng hurriedly said.

    "Hee hee, just teasing you. Little Jin must digest the Golden Crow eggshells for a while, so stay at Qingqiu Mountain during this time, I’ll keep an eye on him for you."

    "Thank you, Meng Bai."
