Candlelight's seventh floor, top-floor meeting room:
As soon as Shifeng entered the meeting room, several gazes landed on him. The source of these gazes was none other than Feng Qianyu's group, who had been waiting in the room for quite some time now.
This time, aside from Blue Phoenix, Feng Qianyu had brought three cloaked men with him.
Meanwhile, the three cloaked men's levels, equipment, and in-game IDs had all been hidden. Although nothing could be seen, the fact that they had been chosen by Feng Qianyu proved that their combat standards were extraordinary. Otherwise, Feng Qianyu wouldn't have wasted a Legacy slot.
So, this is Feng Qianyu's hidden trump card. The Phoenix Pavilion's foundations sure are impressive. Shifeng could not help his surprise as he swept his gaze over the three cloaked men.
He was surprised because these three cloaked men's auras were too calm. They were like plants. Moreover, despite his observation and perception, he couldn't find any weaknesses in these three cloaked men.
Such a situation was very rare. Even Blue Phoenix, who stood beside him, had two or three weaknesses under his observation and perception.
There were only two possibilities for him to be unable to find a weakness in such a short period of time. The first was that the person's realm was higher than his, and the second was that the person had gone through countless battles and had already tempered their own weaknesses.
Regardless of which one it was, these cloaked men were extremely powerful experts.
What Shifeng didn't know was that, while Shifeng was observing these three cloaked men, these three cloaked men were also observing him. Moreover, after some observation, these three cloaked men were inwardly astonished.
"Is he the Ye Feng that Rain mentioned?"
"He is even more powerful than Rain described. I never thought that a newly established Guild would have such a young expert."
"Amazing. It's been a long time since I've encountered a little fellow who can make me feel threatened."
…
The three cloaked men began a quiet discussion among themselves as they looked at Shifeng.
While the three men conversed, Blue Phoenix, who stood beside them, smiled and said, "Big Sis Rain, Ye Feng seems to have frightened the Elders."
These three men were not members of the Phoenix Pavilion. Instead, they belonged to the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Council of Elders. Normally, they only listened to the Great Pavilion Master.
Aside from having made great contributions to the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, those who were able to join the Board of Patriarchs also needed to have sufficient strength. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to convince the people below them.
Although the Guild Elders only listened to the Great Pavilion Master, the Great Pavilion Master had no control over what the Elders did.
These three Doyens were the helpers they had invited to compete for the Sky Thunder Island.
Of course, one of the conditions was the Secret Spellcasting Manual.
Feng Qianyu suddenly smiled at this.
This time, she had brought the three Doyens over for two reasons. Firstly, it was for the secret technique. Secondly, she wanted to rope the three Doyens over to her side. After all, this wasn't the only time she was competing for Sky Thunder Island. There would be many more times in the future. However, the agreement was only for them to help this one time.
The overall strength of the Phoenix Pavilion and the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion was roughly equal. Both sides had a 50-50 chance of competing for the position of Great Pavilion Master.
Hence, the neutral Doyens were the best targets to rope in. Not only were these Doyens very strong, but they also had a lot of influence in the Guild. Every Doyens she recruited would be a massive help to her side.
Naturally, these Doyens knew that the future Great Pavilion Master would be one of the two Pavilion Masters. It was important to choose a side in advance. However, whether they chose a side would depend on their strength.
There were many ways a person's strength manifested. One of them was the strength of their collaborators. The stronger the collaborator, the more help they would provide.
Previously, many Doyens had criticized her. However, after the Ling YI Society's victory over Blackwater and the Asura Battle Team's victory over the Evil Dragon Battle Team, some Doyens had begun to change their opinions of her.
"Sorry for the wait. I had to prepare some things. Let's get started," Shifeng said as he walked up to the conference table. He then took out the Bronze Tablet, which contained the Secret Spellcasting Manual, from his bag.
The instant he took out the Bronze Tablet, the eyes of the three Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Doyens glowed. They could not help but yearn for the Bronze Tablet.
Although the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion had several Bronze Tablets, none of them contained a Secret Spellcasting Manual for magical classes. Although the Secret Spellcasting Manual was not completely useless, it was not nearly as useful as the Secret Spellcasting Manual.
"Team Leader Ye Feng, I'm sure you're aware of the Secret Spellcasting Manual. However, if you wish to obtain the best Legacy effects, it's best to prepare some tools that can increase a player's concentration. That way, you'll get twice the results with half the effort," Feng Qianyu suggested. "If you don't have any, I have some Magic Drinks here. Drink one bottle, and the effects will be roughly the same as in the Trial Tower. The effects will last for half an hour."
Saying so, Feng Qianyu took out several bottles of Magic Drinks.
These Magic Drinks were made from the Epic tools they had obtained from the Auction House.
"I hadn't expected Rain to care so much about them. However, the materials required to make the Magic Drinks are very rare. She hasn't produced many bottles yet. If she takes out the few bottles she has, she'll lose a lot of opportunities in the Secret Technique space."
"She has no choice. There are very few tools that can increase a player's concentration. At the end of the day, Ling Yi is only a newly established Guild. Their foundations are too weak. I've heard that the Ling YI Society will participate in the contest for Thunder Island as well. If Rain helps them now, it will more or less help them in the contest for Thunder Island."
"I've heard that Pantheon's people have approached Rain to discuss a partnership. If Rain had cooperated with Pantheon's people back then, she wouldn't have had to take out her own resources."
…
The three Doyens could not help but discuss Feng Qianyu's actions in hushed tones.
They had only agreed to help Feng Qianyu participate in the contest for Thunder Island because of the Secret Spellcasting Technique. Otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered with this matter.
Feng Qianyu and Nine Dragons Emperor were roughly equal in strength. However, the difference between their partners was obvious. It wasn't that they didn't think highly of the Ling YI Society. Rather, Nine Dragons Emperor's partner was the Super Guild King's Return. Moreover, the Miracle Society had promised Nine Dragons Emperor that they would not compete with each other in the contest for Thunder Island. The Miracle Society had a massive advantage over Feng Qianyu.
Just as Feng Qianyu took out one Magic Drink after another, Shifeng shook his head.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Phoenix Pavilion Master, but we have already made preparations," Shifeng rejected the offer.
"You already have?" Feng Qianyu could not help his surprise. He had never thought that the Ling YI Society would have such a foundation.
Before she had obtained the Epic tool to produce Magic Drinks, the Phoenix Pavilion had only had a few tools that could increase a player's concentration.
Meanwhile, Shiuse Qiangwei and the others didn't think much of Feng Qianyu's offer.
When it came to tools that could increase a player's concentration, the Hundred Berry Wine was most likely the best in the entire Starmoon Kingdom and its neighboring kingdoms and empires.
The Hundred Berry Wine's effects were simply indescribable. Unfortunately, it was extremely rare. If not for the sake of helping them learn the Secret Spellcasting Technique, Feng Qianyu wouldn't have allowed each of them to carry five bottles.
"Aqua, take these. One bottle per person. I don't have any more than that," Shifeng said as he took out a bottle of Soul Water from his bag.
The blood-red liquid inside the transparent glass bottle immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The instant Shifeng took out the bottle, everyone present had a heartfelt desire for the Soul Water.
Even a fool could tell how powerful the Soul Water was.
When Shiuse Qiangwei and the others held the Soul Water, they couldn't help but gulp. They couldn't help but wish they could drink it right now.
"How can there be such a frightening tool?"
The three Grand Elders stared at the Soul Water in shock. (To be continued.)
