Yan Mingyue looked deeply at Lin Feng, suddenly using mana to send a sound transmission: "Fellow daoist's painstaking efforts, is it for this little friend Xiao Yan?"
In an instant, Lin Feng felt his heart stop for half a beat.
From the moment they met, Yan Mingyue had always been courteous, calm, and calm.
She was born in the holy land of the world, but she was friendly and didn't have the slightest sense of superiority.
Now that she was in trouble, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she was calm as if everything was under her control.
But Lin Feng keenly felt that this seemingly modest Yan Mingyue had a pride that went deep into her soul in her bones.
She looked friendly, but her soul was arrogant. It was easy for people to get the wrong impression the first time they met.
This was a person with an extremely strong heart, so strong that she didn't care about the little things and didn't care about what others thought.
Her pride wasn't contempt, arrogance, or arrogance. On the contrary, her pride was her friendliness, her politeness, and her patience.
Why? Because in her mind, you are not as good as me, so I am polite to you. I won't mind your rudeness and I will teach you patiently.
In her heart, she thinks that the other person is not as good as her. She won't get angry because of others' rudeness, nor will she look down on others because of it. She will only think that the other person's level is too low and can't understand her.
Just like how people don't care about the provocation of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Does anyone think this is pride? No. Everyone thinks this is natural, and Yan Mingyue has this mentality.
Before, when she was talking to Xiao Yan, who was only at the meditational level, or Lin Feng, who she couldn't see through, Yan Mingyue always behaved very calmly. She didn't look like someone who came from the holy land of the world and once dominated the world.
But now, she was showing off her abilities. One sentence pointed straight at Lin Feng's heart, straightforward and sharp.
As much as Lin Feng was shocked, he was also a little excited. The change in Yan Mingyue's style meant that she put away her pride and put Lin Feng on the same level as her.
"The more it's like this, the calmer I have to be." Lin Feng calmed himself down and used his mana to transmit his voice. He said lightly, "I'm just a Sanren from the mountains. Of course, I can't compare to Taixu Temple. I've been trying my best to find a few successors."
"Therefore, please let me pass, Fellow Daoist. I will be eternally grateful."
Since the other party had already made it clear, Lin Feng might as well admit it openly.
However, although he was praising the Taixu Temple, Lin Feng's tone was calm and natural. It was obvious that he had placed both sides on equal footing.
The more he acted like this, the more Yan Mingyue couldn't figure out his background. After pondering for a moment, Yan Mingyue finally decided to form a good relationship with him. She no longer used her transcendence energy to transmit her voice, and said: "In that case, thank you for the Soul Calming Grass."
Lin Feng smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan had also calmed down at this moment, his gaze towards Yan Mingyue was extremely complicated.
Yan Mingyue looked at the second ring on Xiao Yan's palm. She said softly: "The Heaven Cage Sigil I laid down before is already very weak. The remnant soul of the taotie could awaken at any time. This ring, Xiao Yan shouldn't keep it by his side."
As she spoke, her gaze turned towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng immediately understood that Yan Mingyue wanted him to take action and help deal with the remnant soul of the taotie in the ring. This way, Xiao Yan would be even more grateful. It would be even more logical for Lin Feng to take him as a disciple.
Looking at it from another angle, wasn't this another test that Yan Mingyue was targeting him with?
Lin Feng cursed in his heart. This woman really isn't easy to deal with. But he had to admit that if Lin Feng could really cleanly deal with the remnant soul of the taotie, he could display his strength in front of Xiao Yan and attract him to take him as a disciple.
Everything depends on whether Lin Feng has real ability. If he does, then this is a good thing with a hundred benefits and no harm at all. Yan Mingyue clearly helped him out greatly.
If he doesn't have ability, then it's showing his true colors. There's naturally nothing to say.
Yan Mingyue looked at Lin Feng with a smile that wasn't a smile, actually carrying a somewhat mischievous expression of a little girl, but it gave Lin Feng a great headache.
"Jackals from the same lair as that Long Ye. Neither of you are any good birds. Serves you right for both of you to suffer. Why don't you completely perish together and let the world have two less scourges!"
Lin Feng cursed in his heart, but on the surface he still had the appearance of an unfathomable expert, smiling as he said: "Small matter, just leave it to this seat to deal with."
Speaking, without any trace of politeness, Lin Feng took the ring from Xiao Yan's hand.
The more it's at a time like this, the more he can't show a guilty conscience and can't expose his actual situation.
Lin Feng took the ring and sent his mana into it. His consciousness instantly entered an independent space.
In the dark space, several dozen rays of light crisscrossed to form an enormous cage. Inside the cage, a vicious beast was currently roaring malevolently.
The vicious beast's appearance was that of a goat's body and a human's face. Its eyes were under its armpits, tiger teeth and human claws. Its voice was like an infant's, continuously striking the cage formed by the rays of light. It was precisely the appearance of one of the four great vicious beasts of the Immemorial Era, the taotie.
Right now the rays of light were already very thin. Compared to the taotie, it was simply like using a hemp rope as thick as a finger to tie up an elephant.
If it wasn't for the cage formed by the rays of light emitting an integrated radiance to resist each time the taotie struck, the rays of light would have been broken long ago.
Lin Feng's scalp went numb seeing this. Even though this isn't a true taotie and is only a remnant soul, its strength is at least at foundation establishment stage. It can also swallow all living things, it's far more terrifying than normal human foundation establishment stage cultivators.
Yan Mingyue's cultivation was only at foundation establishment stage when she was heavily injured. If it wasn't for Taixu Temple's secret Heaven Cage Sigil being incomparably profound, she basically wouldn't be able to trap this vicious beast.
Xiao Yan's original qi disciple level 12 great circle cultivation was forcibly sucked dry by this taotie into trash.
Lin Feng's current qi disciple level 7 cultivation is being forced to do something beyond his ability. The pressure to deal with this vicious beast is not an ordinary kind of pressure.
Ignoring the struggling and roaring taotie, Lin Feng focused all of his attention on the cage of light formed by the Heaven Cage Sigil. If he wants to take care of this vicious beast, the method probably still has to rely on the Heaven Cage Sigil.
Every time the taotie struck, the rays of light would become a bit thinner, representing that a portion of the Heaven Cage Sigil's mana was consumed.
Back when Yan Mingyue first laid down the Heaven Cage Sigil, the rays of light must have been very thick. Only after three years of consumption did it become like this.
Understanding this point, Lin Feng had an idea. He started to try to pour his own mana into the cage of light, "charging" the cage and helping it to continue working.
This is not an easy thing to do, the Heaven Cage Sigil is the signature spell of Taixu Temple. It looks like a simple cage of light on the outside, but the way the mana works inside is actually extremely complicated.
Countless incantations and seals are working together, like an incomparably precise machine.
As soon as Lin Feng poured his mana into it, it was like a cow charging into a flock of sheep. Not only did it not have the effect of replenishing, it instead almost affected the Heaven Cage Sigil's original normal operation.
Lin Feng didn't dare to continue taking risks. He only poured a bit of mana into it, patiently feeling out the way the sigil works first. This is actually equivalent to learning the Heaven Cage Sigil's magical ability.
But it's like a blind man touching an elephant, the learning efficiency is extremely low.
Right now Lin Feng has no other choice, he's already been forced into a corner, he must succeed.
Secretly competing with the Heaven Cage Sigil, Lin Feng had a calm and collected appearance on the surface, calmly looking at Xiao Yan: "You made a three year promise with your fiancée, what plans do you have now?"
Some things, only when lost do you know how precious they are. Regaining what was lost will make people cherish it even more.
Xiao Yan is like this. Knowing the reason for the huge change in his body, he has already regained his confidence. Leaving these two rings, his talent has definitely returned.
But hearing the word fiancée, thinking of what happened before, Xiao Yan's expression still changed.
He took a deep breath and said: "Of course I'm going to catch up, and take back what I lost before."
Lin Feng smiled slightly: "Your talent is very good, but that girl's talent isn't bad either. You're improving, she's also improving, but her starting point is much higher than yours."
"Even if you once again return to the genius you were back then, according to your original cultivation speed, are you sure you can catch up to her within three years?" Lin Feng's smile was unfathomable: "Not to mention, she has the support of the Celeritas Sword Sect, her dao techniques and pill resources far surpass yours."
Xiao Yan's heart moved, glancing at Lin Feng and then subconsciously looking at Yan Mingyue.
Yan Mingyue smiled slightly: "The grievances between you and Miss Murong, as an outsider, it's not my place to interfere too much. But the drastic change in your body is more or less related to me. I express my deep apologies here, I'll give you a Taixu Temple spell as compensation, please forgive me little friend."
Lin Feng heard this from the side, secretly saying in his heart: "Good!" Even though this girl is tricky, her character is still pretty good.
Xiao Yan is also very happy, the spell that Yan Mingyue wants to pass on to him definitely won't be shabby. But his mood very quickly dropped. Even with this spell, will he definitely be able to defeat Murong Yanran in three years and wash away today's humiliation?
He knows his own situation, back then he spent four years to reach the peak of Qi Disciple level 12. Even if he regained his talent now, wanting to recover his strength would at least take four years.
And the current Murong Yanran is already at Qi Disciple level 10. After three years, how high will her cultivation be?
Even if the two of them are at the same realm, the Xiao family dao technique that he cultivates is only third-rate. Murong Yanran is the Celeritas Sword Sect's direct disciple, cultivating the Celeritas Sword Sect's top dao technique, top divine abilities, eating a huge amount of pills without restraint, maybe she even has a powerful magic item passed down by the sect …
Letting out a dejected sigh, Xiao Yan secretly glanced at the smiling Lin Feng, his eyes slowly lighting up.
Lin Feng's eyes also lit up: "That's right, good disciple, quickly come to master's bowl!"
