Gu Fei didn't refuse Zhongli Meng's invitation; instead, he left the store. Under the guidance of Zhongli Meng, Gu Fei and Li Lingfeng entered a palace in Dragon Emperor City.
Zhongli Clan played an important role in Dragon Emperor City. As one of the major forces in South Wilderness, it was not strange for them to have a complex of palaces in Dragon Emperor City.
Of course, when Gu Fei left the shop that sold beast crystals, he exchanged the beast crystal left behind by the ferocious beast that failed to attain rebirth and become a demon with a Dao Art Talisman.
Seeing Gu Fei exchanging a high-level talisman for a beast crystal, Li Lingfeng couldn't help but feel pained. As for the shop owner, he was extremely happy, because the value of the Dao talisman with Dao energy sealed within it was much higher than that beast crystal.
Ferocious Beast Crystal Nuclei were plentiful in the Southern Wasteland. As for Taoist Talismans, even in the world of cultivation, they were rare and priceless items.
The talisman that Gu Fei exchanged for the beast crystal was the one that he got from Wang Yuanzhi, a disciple of Great Void Peak. Wang Yuanzhi had never imagined that his life-saving talisman could be exchanged by Gu Fei for beast crystals.
The reason why Gu Fei suddenly wanted to buy beast crystals was because of the bizarre Xiaoqing Snake which had taken his magic equipment pouch as its nest.
The green snake could devour and refine the spiritual source in beast crystals. Gu Fei wanted to know what kind of existence this Xiaoqing Snake would become after refining numerous beast crystals.
Gu Fei knew that beasts that could devour and refine beast crystals definitely had endless potential.
Zhongli Meng led Gu Fei and the others into a palace. After that, they sat down respectively. A group of maids immediately served all kinds of desserts and placed them on the table in front of each of them.
"Brother Gu, I have a person who has been thinking about you day and night!" After sitting down, Zhongli Meng covered his face with his sleeve and said with a sweet smile.
"Oh?" Gu Fei became stunned. 'It seems that I didn't have any romantic affairs in the secular world! I want to see who that person is.
"Sister Ling, come out!" Zhong Li Meng shouted towards the back of the palace.
Then, a person walked out from the back of the palace. When Gu Fei saw that person, he couldn't help but frown. Not only did he know this person, he was also very familiar with him.
"Gu Fei, it's really you!" The person who walked out from the back hall was a handsome young master who was waving a folding fan in his hand. However, this young master's voice was very delicate.
When that person saw Gu Fei, she was immediately overjoyed. She wanted to pounce on Gu Fei and throw herself into his wide and sturdy embrace. However, her feet seemed to have taken root on the ground and she did not move at all.
"It's you?" The person who came out from the back hall had a special relationship with him. This was because the person who walked out was Ling Luoyan, who was disguised as a man.
Although the beautiful Ling Luoyan was dressed as a man, her peerless beauty was hard to conceal, and she wasn't inferior to Zhong Li Meng in the slightest.
Her skin was like white jade, and her eyes were like autumn waters. Her slender body and graceful figure were like the morning air that was filled with freshness. She was truly graceful and elegant. Ling Luoyan, who was dressed as a man, had a different kind of beauty to her.
Seeing how cold Gu Fei was towards her, as if they were strangers, Ling Luoyan's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stood there in a daze, as if she had lost a moment.
The exceptionally intelligent Zhong Li Meng immediately noticed something from their expressions. The relationship between the two of them didn't seem to be ordinary!
Gu Fei didn't expect to see Ling Luoyan here. A trace of astonishment appeared on his face, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Little Sister Ling, Little Sister Ling …" Zhong Li Meng called out a few times before Ling Luoyan's soul returned to her senses. Seeing Ling Luoyan like this, she couldn't help but shake her head.
At this time, even Li Lingfeng could tell that this woman who came out of the rear hall dressed as a man treated Gu Fei a little differently.
When did Junior Brother Gu get to know this woman? Li Lingfeng was a little puzzled. Gu Fei had always been cultivating in Taixuan Mountain, and he had never left the mountain!
Even if Li Lingfeng scratched her head, she would never have imagined that Gu Fei had met Ling Luoyan during the period when he went missing in Yunmeng Mountain, and that there had been some misunderstanding between the two of them.
"Little Sister Ling, come and sit here!" Zhong Li Meng patted the seat beside him and said to Ling Luoyan.
Ling Luoyan walked to Zhong Li Meng's side absentmindedly and sat down. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and sorrow as she looked at Gu Fei.
Anyone would be moved by such emotions. Gu Fei was a normal man. How could he not see Ling Luoyan's intentions when such a beautiful woman was interested in him?
However, the world of cultivation was filled with dangers, and Gu Fei wasn't strong enough. If his state of mind was disturbed by worldly love, it would be difficult for him to reach the pinnacle of cultivation.
"Brother Gu, my Little Sister Ling seems to be deeply in love with you. Do you want to express something?" Zhong Li Meng winked at Gu Fei and said slyly.
"Express what?" Gu Fei said expressionlessly.
"What an unromantic rock!" Zhong Li Meng couldn't help but say. As he looked around, it was as if a hundred flowers were blooming, causing everyone's eyes to light up.
When Ling Luoyan heard Gu Fei's reply, she couldn't help but reveal a trace of sadness in her eyes.
Zhong Li Meng wanted to say more, but at that moment, a blazing wave of heat suddenly came from outside the hall. It was a wave of fire-like energy.
"Zhong Li Meng, I'm here!" Then, a gentle voice with a hint of firmness could be heard from outside the hall. From the voice, it could be seen that it was a woman.
"Oh no, why is she here!" When she heard that voice, Zhong Li Meng's expression changed and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She seemed to be a little worried about the woman who had suddenly appeared outside the hall.
While the voice was still echoing in the hall, Gu Fei and the others saw a figure in a fiery red robe striding in from outside the door.
It was a woman, a young woman in her early twenties. She wore a fiery red, tight-fitting robe, and her hair was tied into a ponytail. She had a beautiful face, a slender figure, and a valiant and heroic bearing!
This woman looked like a valiant general charging through enemy lines, and she carried a fiery-red spear on her back. The tip of the spear was also fiery-red, as if it was burning with a divine flame.
"What a strong woman!" Gu Fei and the others felt a strong sense of oppression from this woman. The blazing wave of heat came from this woman's body.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, the temperature in the hall immediately shot up. Gu Fei, Li Lingfeng, and Zhong Li Meng didn't feel any discomfort, but Ling Luoyan, who didn't have a high cultivation base, felt unbearably hot, as if she was sitting next to a bonfire.
The red-clothed woman's gaze swept across the hall and finally landed on Gu Fei. The woman looked at Gu Fei and suddenly revealed a bright smile.
Why is she smiling at me? Gu Fei's heart skipped a beat. At the same time, a bad premonition surged in his heart, causing him to be wary of this woman.
At this moment, a swoosh! The red-clothed woman disappeared on the spot and turned into a ray of fiery light. She used her palm like a blade, and the fiery light burst forth as she slashed at Gu Fei three times.
The red-clothed woman wasn't completely fearless. She had restrained the vast fire elemental energy to an extremely small area in her palm, evidently not wanting to cause any damage to the things in the hall.
The heat wave was oppressive. Under the envelopment of the three fiery blade auras, Gu Fei felt as if he was in a sea of fire. He sat still and directly threw out three punches. His punches were colorless, but they miraculously blocked the three fiery blade auras.
"Crack!" The floor beneath the red-clothed woman's feet instantly cracked from her stomp, and she was forced to take a step back from the recoil. In an instant, it seemed as if the winner had been decided.
Seeing this scene, Li Lingfeng couldn't help but feel uneasy. He definitely didn't want anything to happen in these two or three days. However, it was obvious that the young experts of the Southern Wilderness weren't convinced and had begun to look for trouble.
As the saying goes, the tree wants peace, but the wind won't stop. He didn't want to look for trouble, but trouble came knocking on his door.
"Good, as expected of the Taoism expert who defeated Hu Zhan." The red-clothed woman looked at Gu Fei, and a terrifying power surged from her body. She didn't even bother to conceal her battle intent.
Everyone's expression changed. The Southern Wilderness was a land of great heroes and geniuses. It really couldn't be underestimated. The woman in front of them was definitely a leading figure of the young generation in the Southern Wilderness.
"The phoenix perches on the parasol tree, and the fire shines on the south. Princess Feng of the Vermilion Bird Tribe has graced my humble abode with your presence. It's truly an honor!" At this moment, Zhong Li Meng had already stood up and welcomed her with a smile.
"The Vermilion Bird Tribe?" Gu Fei stood up as well. A pulse of energy as tremendous as the ocean and as heavy as a mountain radiated from Gu Fei.
His eyes flickered with a gaze as sharp as a blade as he stared at the princess before him. His battle intent surged, as if he wanted to fight her.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise were the outstanding successors of the four sacred clans of the Southern Wilderness. Gu Fei had already met all of them. Every single one of them was an impressive young expert, possessing strength that allowed them to look down on their peers.
"Feng Xiwu of the Vermilion Bird clan!" The princess did not waste any time, directly stating her name. Afterwards, she extended her hand and drew the spear on her back.
With a shake of the spear, it was like a venomous dragon had emerged from the sea. The tip of the spear was directly pointed at Gu Fei.
The spear in her hand was engraved with simple, fiery patterns. It seemed to be forged from divine metal that still gave off flames, and it seemed to be enveloped in a layer of fire.
This was definitely a rare god armament. The presence of the god armament merged with Feng Xiwu's presence, giving off a feeling like she had become one with the spear.
