Chapter 10: Yan Feng Pavilion

Luo Feng was immersed in comprehension, and when he finally stopped, he noticed that the sky had already turned dark. Morosa was sitting there, idly staring into space.

“Master, you’re awake?” Morosa said with a look of delight.

“Have you been sitting here the whole time while I was cultivating?” Luo Feng said. “Why don’t you go explore Huyang City? I’m just comprehending the laws, not turning into a fool! If anyone were to touch the formation of the cave mansion, I would immediately interrupt my comprehension.”

Morosa eagerly replied, “Eating, drinking, and having fun can happen anytime, but guarding you while you cultivate is the most important thing!”

“Haha, you know how to talk.” Luo Feng stood up. “Alright, let’s go out for a bit and sell that Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower.”

“Master, where are you planning to sell it?” Morosa also stood up.

“Of course, to Yan Feng Pavilion.” Luo Feng said. Immediately, the two of them set out.

Moments later, Luo Feng and Morosa were looking from afar at the imposing Yan Feng Pavilion. Among the numerous buildings in Huyang City, the main building of Yan Feng Pavilion was second only to the City Lord’s Mansion in height.

“The safest place in all of Huyang City is this Yan Feng Pavilion,” Luo Feng said. “Even if the entire Huyang City were destroyed, the Yan Feng Pavilion would remain intact.”

“Oh?” Morosa was surprised. His understanding of the Origin Continent all came from Luo Feng.

“Yan Feng Pavilion represents the Ancient Flame Kingdom,” Luo Feng said. “It’s a joint venture of some powerful forces within the Ancient Flame Kingdom, and their business spans a large part of the Origin Continent.”

“Even during wars between divine kingdoms, no one dares to touch Yan Feng Pavilion. Because attacking Yan Feng Pavilion is tantamount to slapping the face of the Ancient Flame Kingdom.” Luo Feng laughed. “The consequences would be severe.”

Morosa understood. “Quite a strong background.”

“No matter what treasure, they can buy and sell it!” Luo Feng said. “They are the safest trading partner!”

This Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower was enough to make some Eternal True Gods envious and crazy. To ensure a smooth transaction, Luo Feng chose to trade with Yan Feng Pavilion without hesitation.

Yan Feng Pavilion covered a vast area with numerous buildings, and the main building hosted guests from all directions.

Luo Feng and Morosa arrived at the entrance of the main building, and a waiter immediately came to greet them. “Divine Lord, please come in.” The waiter enthusiastically led Luo Feng and Morosa to a private hall.

“Divine Lord, this is pure brew wine from the Ancient Flame Kingdom, please enjoy.” The waiter poured the wine. A cup of this pure brew wine would be worth several chaos crystals in the Ancient Flame Kingdom, and it was impossible to buy in Huyang City.

“Pure brew wine?” Luo Feng took a sip, feeling a refreshing taste spreading through his soul.

“Let’s get to business. I’m here to sell a Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower.” Luo Feng flipped his hand, placing a wooden box on the long table in front of him.

“Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower?” The waiter was somewhat surprised. Even though he often served Eternal True Gods, he was still taken aback. He immediately opened the wooden box, revealing the seemingly ordinary Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower inside.

The formation in Yan Feng Pavilion activated, enveloping the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower, and completed the appraisal in an instant.

“This Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower is fully mature, harvested and preserved well, with top-grade quality. According to the current market, Yan Feng Pavilion is willing to buy it for 120,000 cosmos sand,” the waiter said. “What does the Divine Lord think?”

“Alright.” Luo Feng agreed straightforwardly.

He knew the rules of Yan Feng Pavilion well. For treasures below ten million cosmos sand, they generally did not haggle. Some heavenly treasures had fixed prices set by the headquarters of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, and the branches did not have the authority to adjust them.

“Then this Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower belongs to Yan Feng Pavilion.” The waiter carefully repackaged the flower and placed a cyan jade bottle on the table, handing it to Luo Feng. “Divine Lord, this contains 120,000 cosmos sand. Please check.”

Luo Feng sensed it briefly and confirmed it was correct.

“Transaction complete.” The waiter smiled. “Divine Lord, is there anything else I can help you with?”

“I also need to purchase some forging materials. Here is the list.” Luo Feng handed over a prepared list. “The total price of the materials is 100,000 cosmos sand.”

Most of the cosmos sand from selling the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower would be spent.

“100,000 cosmos sand for all these materials?” The waiter was extremely surprised. “Most of these materials are quite common. If according to the list, the quantity is very large. Some materials might require entire mountains to be moved. Are you sure you want to spend 100,000 cosmos sand on these?”

“Can Yan Feng Pavilion gather them?” Luo Feng asked.

The waiter smiled confidently. “Don’t worry, even a hundred or thousand times more, Yan Feng Pavilion can source them from elsewhere! As for what you need, there is plenty in the warehouse. It will be delivered in the time it takes to drink a cup of wine.”

“Good, then please arrange it quickly.” Luo Feng nodded. “Besides buying these materials, I also want to apply to join Yan Feng Pavilion’s ‘Dark Hall.’”

The waiter smiled. “Joining the Dark Hall of Yan Feng Pavilion allows you to post tasks, accept tasks, and purchase intelligence. As an Eternal True God, you can join without review or fees.”

As an organization spanning much of the Origin Continent, Yan Feng Pavilion also dealt in intelligence and bounty tasks under the name of ‘Dark Hall.’ The more clients, the better, so the threshold was low.

Those with enough strength or wealth could join the Dark Hall.

“You need a code name in the Dark Hall,” the waiter said.

Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, “Call me Blade.”

“Alright, application successful.” The waiter handed a communication token to Luo Feng. “This is the Dark Hall communication token. In large cities, you can use it to contact the Dark Hall. Whether purchasing intelligence, posting bounties, or accepting tasks, it can all be done through this token. If it’s damaged or lost, you can come to Yan Feng Pavilion for a replacement.”

Luo Feng took the communication token. It could only contact the Dark Hall.

“Basic intelligence on the countries of the Origin Continent.” Luo Feng first attempted to purchase intelligence.

“Since you just joined the Dark Hall, as an Eternal True God, you have a credit limit of 1,000 cosmos sand. It must be repaid within one epoch, or the penalty is ten times the debt.” The waiter reminded him.

“The intelligence I need costs 10 cosmos sand. Here it is.” Luo Feng paid the fee.

At the same time, he checked the intelligence just sent by the Dark Hall communication token. It was basic information on the countries of the Origin Continent, including maps, cities, and other basic details.

Luo Feng naturally focused on the intelligence about Shiguo.

“… Shiguo, with a total of five rulers…” This basic intelligence only mentioned ‘a total of five rulers’ about Shiguo’s rulers. There was no record of what means these Divine Kings possessed or what secret treasures they held.

Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly.

“Shiguo now has five rulers? When Master Zuo Shan Ke fled to the cosmic sea, Shiguo had only three rulers.” Luo Feng thought. “Yuguo hasn’t changed much, still having five Divine Kings.”

“Shiguo has grown stronger during the time Master has been away.” Luo Feng naturally accepted this fact.

Master Zuo Shan Ke had fled the Origin Continent and spent a full cycle of reincarnation in the Primitive Universe, even nurturing a genius like Luo Feng. Given Shiguo’s aggressive nature, it was natural that there would be changes over such a long time.

Three rulers? Five rulers?

To Luo Feng, who was still just an Eternal True God, it made little difference. Without reaching the level of Divine King, he couldn’t get involved!

“The Dark Hall has many bounty tasks. Divine Lord can take a look,” the waiter said.

Luo Feng nodded.

He easily found numerous bounty tasks, including protection tasks, hiring tasks, assassination tasks, and more.

“There is a bounty to kill the supreme commander of the Huyang Legion, ‘Magili Xiao’?” Luo Feng was surprised to see this bounty.

The supreme commander of Huyang’s top ten legions was one of the most powerful figures in all of Huyang City. Even the City Lord’s power might not match that of this supreme commander! Yet there was still a bounty in the Dark Hall of Yan Feng Pavilion.

“As long as a client dares to post a task, Yan Feng Pavilion dares to put up a bounty,” the waiter smiled. “Even for a Divine King, Yan Feng Pavilion would still offer a bounty.”

“Yan Feng Pavilion indeed has such power.” Luo Feng nodded.

Suddenly, a black jade bottle appeared out of thin air. The waiter handed it to Luo Feng. “Divine Lord, all the forging materials you need are here. Please check.”

Luo Feng checked and saw a mountain of materials. With a thought, he confirmed everything.

“More rather than less.” Luo Feng was very satisfied.

“For some common materials, we always provide extra.” The waiter said.

Luo Feng nodded, then instructed Morosa, “Let’s go.”

The waiter personally escorted Luo Feng out.

In a small

building within Yan Feng Pavilion, a figure formed of gray mist was leisurely reading through various pieces of intelligence. Suddenly, a burly man walked in.

“Pavilion Master.” The eyes of the gray mist figure, also holes of mist, looked at the burly figure. “As the Pavilion Master, you don’t manage Yan Feng Pavilion’s affairs at all, leaving everything to an old man like me.”

“Uncle, I’m sorry.” The burly man immediately smiled apologetically.

“My biggest regret now is agreeing to follow you to protect you after the old ancestor’s order. Who would have thought you would leave the Ancient Flame Kingdom and wander for thousands of epochs without returning!” The gray mist figure said. “When do you plan to return to the family? I miss home.”

The burly man said, “I plan to return after breaking through to the Chaos Realm!”

“You, being of the Emperor Chu lineage, with noble blood, did not cultivate the bloodline technique but instead comprehended the laws. I knew you had ambition.” The gray mist figure said. “You achieved true godhood with the ‘Infinite Divine Body’ without relying on your bloodline, so each step you take is difficult. Generally, our family elders first cultivate the bloodline technique and then turn to comprehend the laws when they hit a bottleneck!”

The burly man shook his head, a bit disdainful. “After walking the simple path for long epochs, suddenly turning to the difficult path, how many can succeed? They’re all mediocre!”

The gray mist figure nodded approvingly. “If you continue on the path of the laws and become a Chaos Overlord, the family will fully support you when you return.”

All the Divine Kings on the Origin Continent had broken through by comprehending the laws.

“Becoming a Chaos Overlord is very difficult.” The burly figure nodded. “The Chaos Laws are much harder.”

He was born on the Origin Continent, so he had a clear perception of various laws since childhood! He felt that the further he went, the more difficult it became.

Luo Feng was different.

In the Primitive Universe, he had only a vague perception of the laws. So when he arrived at the Origin Continent, he was pleasantly surprised! He felt that comprehending the Chaos Laws was progressing rapidly.

“Hmm?” The gray mist figure saw a new piece of intelligence and said to the burly figure beside him, “Pavilion Master, a new Eternal True God has arrived in Huyang City and become a client of our Dark Hall. His code name is ‘Blade.’”

“Oh, noted.” The burly figure nodded.

Neither of them paid much attention. As direct descendants of the Emperor Chu lineage from the Ancient Flame Kingdom, they had the right to ignore most of the Eternal True Gods in Huyang City.

Luo Feng and Morosa returned to the cave mansion.

“I will be in closed-door cultivation for some time. You are free to act as you wish,” Luo Feng instructed. “Remember, don’t cause trouble.”

“Rest assured, Master!” Morosa responded enthusiastically.

Only then did Luo Feng turn and enter the underground hall of the cave mansion. As soon as he entered, the layers of mechanisms in the underground hall closed, and the formation sealed off the area.

This underground hall was specifically for closed-door cultivation. However, Luo Feng still found it small. With a wave of his hand, he released the Star Tower.

Luo Feng entered the Star Tower. The Star Tower contained a vast space, allowing Luo Feng to cultivate freely without worrying about damaging anything.

“Let’s begin cultivating the Chaos Force Diagram.” Luo Feng sat cross-legged and began his first closed-door cultivation session on the Origin Continent.
