Chapter 86

A few days ago, Wei Lingxuan and her younger siblings had already performed a "shocking act" in front of Li Tianming.

Now, Wei Lingxuan's angry and depressed appearance was even more spectacular than a few days ago.

"Proven by the facts, your acting a few days ago was terrible. Today's foolishness is what's truly shocking. Have you learned yet?" Li Tianming said.

Wei Lingxuan was so angry that she was momentarily speechless.

The key was that there was a strange smell on her body, and her skirt seemed to be damp. This smell made her very uncomfortable.

"Li Tianming, you're absolutely finished!" Wei Qingyi was even angrier.

He felt a burning pain in his lower abdomen, and incontinence was a great humiliation for him.

This incident would likely make him unable to hold his head up for a year.

Such humiliation was almost as bad as being killed, and the fact that this humiliation came from Li Tianming, whom he looked down upon, made it even more unbearable.

"How could he defeat me even with Ling Princess's spirit attached? This can't be real!"

"I haven't summoned my companion beast yet; I haven't lost!"

Defeat was very embarrassing, so he could only console himself.

Otherwise, just thinking about the news of his defeat by Li Tianming spreading would make him blush.

Boom!

Wei Qingyi gritted his teeth, cursed in his heart, and then summoned his companion beast in the companion space.

In front of the Yanhuang Tower, a golden bird burst out from his body.

The golden bird was enormous, with a body covered in golden feathers.

Each feather was like a golden short sword, sharp and heavy.

The golden bird spread its golden wings, and it was clear that it had six wings.

Each wing was like a golden broadsword, dazzling in the sunlight.

"High-grade sixth-stage companion beast—Six-Winged Golden Peng Bird, a 'metallic avian' companion beast."

When Li Tianming saw the Six-Winged Golden Peng Bird, he was momentarily stunned.

It was too similar.

His former brother, Jin Yu, was also a Golden Peng Bird, but with only four wings, not as high-grade as Wei Qingyi's companion beast, which was a fifth-stage companion beast.

Jin Yu had accompanied him for sixteen years, like a brother, and he could never forget him in his life.

"Pity, this is Wei Qingyi's companion beast; it's not Jin Yu."

He understood better than anyone that Jin Yu would never return.

"Li Tianming, this is your own fault. If I don't kill you today, I, Wei Qingyi, will not be a man!"

Just as Li Tianming was lost in thought, Wei Qingyi, driven by shame and rage, rode the Six-Winged Golden Peng Bird and charged at him.

His companion beast didn't recognize Li Tianming; it was in sync with Wei Qingyi.

With Wei Qingyi's murderous intent, the bird naturally exuded a fierce aura.

"Wei Qingyi, what do you mean by 'not being a man'?"

Just as Wei Qingyi was raging, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

This was the voice of a powerful person, directly penetrating and shocking Wei Qingyi, making his murderous intent instantly dissipate, and his whole body tremble.

Li Tianming had already seen that when Wei Qingyi's murderous intent was at its peak, a woman walked out of the Yanhuang Tower.

This woman had short hair, wore a tight outfit that outlined her beautiful figure.

She looked decisive and efficient, with a mature charm and a heroic demeanor, a respected elder.

Li Tianming recognized her.

She was the Heavenly Master of Qing Princess and Wei Lingxuan, named Qin Shi.

"I, I, I... No, Heavenly Master, I was just joking."

Wei Qingyi quickly stopped, even though he had a deep grudge against Li Tianming and was the son of Wei Zikun, he still had to follow the rules in Tianfu.

The most fundamental rule in Tianfu was not to defy any Heavenly Master.

Just a moment ago, he was full of murderous intent, but now he could only lower his head in frustration, suppressing his anger and looking miserable.

He felt that this was the most agonizing day of his life.

"Shouting about killing in Tianfu, if your Heavenly Master sees you, you'll be punished." Qin Shi was known for her strictness, and her glare made Wei Qingyi's head lower even more.

"Yes."

The crowd, which had been buzzing with discussion, all lowered their heads in front of Qin Shi.

"Stop making a fuss, all of you go and practice." Qin Shi's cold command made the crowd, who had just been "slapped" by Li Tianming, scatter like birds and beasts, disappearing in a moment.

Most of them returned to the Yanhuang Tower to practice.

This was what Li Tianming liked about Tianfu—strict rules and equal treatment for all disciples.

Even a little princess like Wei Lingxuan was treated as an ordinary disciple by the Heavenly Masters.

At least in public, there was no special treatment.

"Lingxuan." After the crowd left, only Wei Lingxuan remained.

Qin Shi's gaze pressed down on her like a mountain.

"Heavenly Master." Wei Lingxuan suppressed her anger and forced a smile.

"I have high expectations for you. Breaking through to the seventh level of the Spirit Source Realm as soon as possible is your most important task. Don't waste your energy on trivial matters." Qin Shi said.

"Yes." Wei Lingxuan nodded quickly.

Among all the disciples in Tianfu, Wei Lingxuan, at eighteen, was at the sixth level of the Spirit Source Realm, which was considered above average.

However, if she could break through to the seventh level soon, she would be at the top level.

"You all come from the Wei family, and you need to know that everything you do must be worthy of the Wei family." Qin Shi said.

"Uh-huh." Wei Lingxuan pouted.

"Go and practice."

"Yes!"

Seeing them, who had been full of murderous intent just a moment ago, now being scolded like chicks by Qin Shi, Li Tianming felt very comfortable.

Wei Qingyi could only reluctantly send the Six-Winged Golden Peng Bird back to the companion space and then return to the Yanhuang Tower with Wei Lingxuan.

Outside, only Li Tianming remained.

"Ling, can he give you a full-level spirit attachment?" Qin Shi turned around, her face expressionless, looking at Li Tianming with doubt.

"Yes, Heavenly Master." Jiang Feilin answered obediently.

"Does Qingluan agree with your relationship with him?" Qin Shi asked.

"She agrees, we are all good friends." Jiang Feilin said.

"Good friends? The three of you?" Qin Shi was a bit puzzled, after all, she knew about Li Tianming's past from three years ago.

And now, Li Tianming was only temporarily a Tianfu disciple, and it wasn't certain that he would stay long.

No matter how you looked at it, he and the two high-status princesses didn't match at all.

In her view, even if Li Tianming entered Tianfu, he would still be a marginal figure.

Becoming the top disciple by age advantage and luck, she didn't really respect that.

"Is there a problem, Heavenly Master?" Jiang Feilin asked softly.

"No problem. Since you are friends, guide him more about Tianfu's rules and don't cause trouble." Qin Shi said and then turned to leave.

This little episode was finally over.

Next, Li Tianming still had to enter the Yanhuang Tower.

However, Wei Qingyi, Wei Lingxuan, and all the previous spectators were waiting for him inside.

"Combat is not allowed in the Yanhuang Tower, brother, you don't need to be afraid. I will protect you." Jiang Feilin raised her small fist proudly.

In the sunlight, her smile seemed to emit a crystalline glow.

"Ling, just leave him alone. Li Tianming is tough and won't die. You protect me; I'm the one who needs pity."

The little yellow chicken, standing on Li Tianming's shoulder, said shyly.

How shameless.

But, what was there to be afraid of in the Yanhuang Tower?

Not only would he enter, but he would also let Ling hold his arm and walk in confidently, ignoring the gazes of the crowd.

"Li Tianming has entered."

"This filthy person appearing before the 'Yanhuang Stone' is truly defiling this treasure."

People whispered, speaking harshly.

However, Li Tianming's eyes were already drawn to the 'Yanhuang Stone' mentioned in their words.

The first level of the Yanhuang Tower was actually very large and spacious, with a height of over thirty meters.

In such a vast space, at least one-third was occupied by a huge, irregularly shaped rock.

This rock was ancient and weathered, with yellow and red patterns.

These patterns were complex and ever-changing, filled with unfathomable mysteries.

As soon as Li Tianming entered, he felt a surge of elemental energy.

Even before he approached the Yanhuang Stone, he could already sense the awe-inspiring power of this divine object.

The legend of the Yanhuang Stone was known by almost everyone in the Zhuque Kingdom.

Li Tianming had once dreamed of coming to the Yanhuang Stone to practice.

Until today, the Yanhuang Stone was within reach, and he finally understood that the opportunity to practice in Tianfu was something many people longed for.

Whether it was the visual impact or the elemental energy he felt, it was easy to imagine the benefits the Yanhuang Stone brought to cultivation.

"Brother, are you familiar with the Yanhuang Stone?" Jiang Feilin asked.

"Do you want to introduce it to me?" Li Tianming smiled.

"Sure."

Jiang Feilin introduced:

"The Yanhuang Stone, it is said, was placed here by our ancestors when the Yanhuang Academy was founded."

"According to legend, the Yanhuang Stone is a black celestial pattern spirit ore, the most complete and highest-quality spirit ore in the Zhuque Kingdom."

"The entire Yanhuang Stone contains boundless elemental energy, and over a long history, it has developed a self-awareness."

"This self-awareness makes the Yanhuang Stone like a living being, capable of condensing boundless elemental energy and guiding the flow of elemental energy."

"The most amazing thing is that it can select cultivators who are compatible with it and drive away those it dislikes."

"Each Tianfu disciple has a compatibility level with the Yanhuang Stone. The higher the compatibility, the more effective the cultivation!"

"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, black, and white. Black celestial pattern spirit ore is the highest-grade ore, second only to the legendary ninth-grade spirit ore with white celestial patterns."

"Brother, do you see those black arrays? Those are the black celestial patterns."

Li Tianming followed her introduction and indeed saw a black array covering the entire Yanhuang Stone.

The array had countless black patterns, which were part of the celestial patterns.

The eighth-grade celestial patterns could form an array.

This black array contained the profound power of the elements and the will of the heavens, making the Yanhuang Stone mysterious.

This mystery was not comparable to the smaller celestial patterns like red, orange, and yellow.

One could say that the Yanhuang Stone was a treasure of Tianfu.

In the past, countless generations of Tianfu beast masters had cultivated beside the Yanhuang Stone and then benefited the land.
