Chapter 178: It’s Inconvenient to Be Away From Home

This manner had already made his attitude very clear.

These people truly did not care about Spirit Realm Experts!

Beads of cold sweat had already appeared on Yan Qing’s forehead.

He could not afford to offend this Young Master Shen. Otherwise, his father would definitely not forgive him upon his return. However, if the Spirit Realm Expert became angry because of this, he would not be able to bear it either.

However, Yan Qing still turned and left.

But he kept sending messages to his father.

The Yan family naturally had treasures similar to the “Thousand-Mile Token.” In fact, such things were not as valuable in the Holy Lake Region as they were in the Wu Region.

After all, there were still many people who could refine them.

And the reply Yan Qing received was only one sentence.

“Don’t let Ge Yefeng disturb Young Master Shen. I will return as soon as possible.”

That’s right, between a Spirit Realm Expert, and a Spirit Realm Expert from the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion, and Young Master Shen, his father had firmly chosen Young Master Shen.

This was just a notification!

Yan Qing returned to the reception hall nervously and said to Ge Yefeng with a forced smile, “Senior, Young Master Shen may have reached a critical point in his cultivation and cannot come out for the time being. Would Senior mind coming back later?”

Although he was the son of the Eastern King, he had no status in front of these Spirit Realm Experts.

At least in the Holy Lake Region, Spirit Realm Experts who could fly and escape the earth were already regarded as “immortals” in the eyes of many people. There was even a saying that “all are ants below the Spirit Realm.”

After all, the leap from the Third Realm to the Fourth Realm was indeed a fundamental one, even greater than the leap from Body Tempering to the Innate Realm!

However, just as Yan Qing was trembling with fear, worried that the Spirit Realm Expert in front of him would be angered, Ge Yefeng spoke:

“In that case, then this old man will wait here.”

“…” Yan Qing almost suspected that he had heard wrong.

A Spirit Realm Expert was actually willing to wait here for an Innate Realm martial artist to agree to his request for an audience!

Although he had long recognized the extraordinary nature of Young Master Shen, this scene still shocked Yan Qing quite a bit.

His own father was like this, and now this person was also like this.

The two Spirit Realm Experts combined even gave him a feeling that Young Master Shen’s status was above the Spirit Realm!

Even if his talent was amazing, he was still only at the Innate Realm!

Yan Qing left in a daze. He did not know that what Shen Xing had shown was not only talent but also strength, and even more so, the deterrence of the power behind him!

And when Shen Xing discovered that this Fourth Realm expert had actually stayed directly in the Yan Mansion, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

He had actually been prepared for the other party to make trouble and was even planning to reveal his warplane if necessary.

“Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion, huh.”

Shen Xing silently repeated the name, then focused on his cultivation.

The more this was the case, the more he needed to be calm.

Since he had already “boasted” of a force that could besiege and kill a Sixth Realm Demon Ancestor, he had to show that kind of confidence.

Even his previous politeness to Yan Dong was based on a sense of superiority.

Thus, he cultivated for an entire day, and Ge Yefeng actually waited for an entire day.

It wasn’t until Shen Xing’s usual appearance time that he seemed to have just received the news from his attendant and leisurely walked towards the reception room.

Ge Yefeng’s Divine Sense had already discovered him, but when he saw him in person, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath in his heart.

Even though he had already learned from his disciples that the other party had an “extraordinary aura,” at this moment, it was far beyond what “extraordinary aura” could describe!

As a Spirit Realm Expert, he could undoubtedly see more than Yan Siniang.

The strength and foundation of the person in front of him had reached an extremely astonishing level!

Especially the other party’s Yuan Power!

With his experience, he had never seen anyone who could possess such powerful Yuan Power at the Innate Realm!

Some Grandmasters were not even comparable!

“A mid-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique? No, it might even be a high-grade one!” Ge Yefeng thought in his heart. His hand movements were not slow either. He took the initiative to stand up, with a smile on his face and an immortal-like demeanor, “Seeing Young Master Shen today, this day has not been wasted.”

Yan Qing, who was accompanying him, was already completely numb to such a scene and just smiled.

As for Shen Xing, he was calm and composed. He did not show any different expression because of the goodwill shown by a Spirit Realm Expert. He just smiled faintly, “Cultivation comes first, please forgive me. I wonder why the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion is looking for me? If you have a request, considering that I have obtained several Earth-grade Dragon-Type Divine Intents from you, feel free to speak.”

He directly placed the other party in the position of “having a request.”

This also conformed to the behavior of a disciple of a large force facing a “backwater force.”

Even Ge Yefeng could see the strong confidence in the other party’s demeanor.

It was a complete look down on them, and even a look down on the entire Holy Lake Region.

Although he had long guessed that the other party definitely had an extraordinary background, it was now further verified.

“May I ask where Young Master Shen is from?” Ge Yefeng was even more polite.

“A place farther than ten thousand miles from here,” Shen Xing sat down directly. “As for the specifics, you can ask the Eastern King. I don’t want to repeat myself.”

◈◈◈

The Eastern King already knew the other party’s origin?

Ge Yefeng’s mind went there. He did not ask about his origin again, but said, “Young Master Shen learned a Divine Intent in one day. Such talent is truly shocking to us. The purpose of my visit today is, firstly, to witness such a prodigy, and secondly, to ask Young Master Shen if you need more Divine Intents? My Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion has always been generous to prodigies. This is something that everyone in the entire Holy Lake Region knows.”

It has to be said that Ge Yefeng’s manner really gave people the appearance of a kind senior.

And the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion’s emphasis on prodigies was indeed well-known throughout the Holy Lake Region.

Countless ordinary martial artists, and even young talents, longed to be valued by the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion or to obtain opportunities from the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion.

Just from the reputation in this aspect, the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion was indeed very special.

It was easy to make young people feel good about them.

Even Shen Xing was somewhat affected ━ who could refuse a force that provided Earth-grade Divine Intent Inheritances for free?

“As for me, only Dragon-Type Divine Intents are useful,” Shen Xing shook his head slowly, with a look of indifference. “As for the others, they would at most be used to slightly fill up my clan’s martial arts repository. Besides, in a small place like yours, it’s probably difficult to find even a mid-grade Earth-rank Divine Intent.”

“…” Ge Yefeng was silent again.

What did he mean by “difficult to find even a mid-grade Earth-rank”?

Not to mention mid-grade Earth-rank, those that reached Earth-rank were the most top-notch Divine Intents! If ordinary martial artists could learn one, they could dominate an area and rarely have an opponent in the same realm!

Where did this casual, even somewhat disdainful attitude come from!

Ge Yefeng took a deep breath slowly. Just as he was about to say something, Shen Xing spoke again, “Speaking of which, since you value Divine Intent Inheritances so much, how about I trade a few Earth-grade Divine Intents for some cultivation resources? Such as Third-Grade pills, or Dragon-Type cultivation resources. This young master is somewhat lacking in these things.”

He did not intend to hide his need for resources.

After all, this was actually his main purpose.

If he were to be secretive, it would only make things more troublesome.

And Ge Yefeng was slightly stunned.

Looking at Shen Xing, although his attitude was obviously a bit more serious, after thinking for a moment, just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Young Master Shen look up.

“Brother Yan is back,” he smiled.

“Hmm?” Ge Yefeng was taken aback and also looked up.

He didn’t sense anything.

But after a moment, his expression changed slightly.

Because he sensed it, and the direction the Eastern King was returning from was exactly the direction that Young Master Shen was looking at!

An Innate Realm martial artist actually discovered the Eastern King earlier than he did?

It has to be said that the shock of such details was sometimes more effective than the shock given directly.

Details often reveal more!

And at this moment, Yan Dong also discovered Ge Yefeng. He flew straight over. When he entered the reception hall, everyone saw a large box in his hand.

“Young Master Shen, I have brought back a lot of good things for you this time.” Yan Dong did not greet Ge Yefeng immediately, but walked straight to Shen Xing and opened the box with a smile.

In an instant, jade bottles appeared in front of everyone. Some of the jade bottles could not even suppress the surging Yuan Qi within.

“A total of sixty-five Ascending Spirit Pills, eleven Dragon Blood Pills, twenty-one Soul Condensing Pills, and some other pills, all of which are above Third-Grade.” When Yan Dong spoke, he even glanced at Ge Yefeng with a half-smile.

Ge Yefeng understood the meaning of this look.

But what shocked him even more were these things!

He naturally knew the quality of Ascending Spirit Pills, Dragon Blood Pills, and Soul Condensing Pills, so he also understood how huge a fortune was in this box!

Even some Grandmaster-level forces could not afford these pills even if they went bankrupt!

These were all Third-Grade!

“Not bad, thank you, Brother Yan,” Shen Xing also smiled. “It’s enough for me to cultivate for ten days or so.”

“Cough, cough.”

Ge Yefeng, who was beside him, was caught off guard and was so frightened by these words that he coughed twice.

Ten days or so?

These pills were enough for a Third-Grade Grandmaster to cultivate for more than ten years!

Even Yan Dong was startled.

Didn’t he say two Ascending Spirit Pills a day? How could it only be enough for ten days or so?

And he suddenly focused his gaze and noticed Shen Xing’s aura!

“Young Master Shen, your strength…” Yan Dong asked with some surprise and uncertainty.

“Oh, I obtained a few Divine Intents from the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion these past few days, and I’ve made some small gains,” Shen Xing said, then shook his head and sighed rarely. “It’s really inconvenient to be away from home. If I don’t have enough pills, I’m afraid I’ll be surpassed by the other members of my clan when I return.”

These words were somewhat sincere. If he couldn’t get enough pills, even if he had obtained first place now, he might still be surpassed by other prodigies.

He would not underestimate the cultivation speed of the Human Federation’s prodigies.

Everyone was still in a stage of rapid growth.
