Chapter 417 - Advanced-stage Spiritual Emperor

Luo Yunzhu was so overwhelmed that she bent over the table. She did not want to talk to this sicko!

In the dim light of the night, the ocean’s surface was sparkling. As it was a spring night, the air was chilly. When the wind blew, it got even colder.

The north side was closest to the Forbidden Island. Because it was forbidden to go to the island, no one was guarding it. Besides the sounds of breeze and waves, it was utterly silent.

A white shadow faintly flashed by and landed in a dark corner. After that, a black figure showed up, facing sideways.

“Your Highness.”

By now, Feng Tianlan was used to these guards addressing her as ‘Your Highness.’ She simply let out a faint ‘uh-huh,’ then bluntly asked, “How did the investigation go?”

She was half a month away from the master honoring ceremony. Therefore, she was investigating while practicing. She was trying to find out who had joined the Flying Frost Pavilion a decade or so ago. After that, she would investigate them one by one to weed out the Shang Family’s traitor.

The forest to the north that faced the Forbidden Island was home top Stage 5 Demonic Beasts. However, for unknown reasons, the demonic beasts didn’t act rashly around her. Therefore, the forest quickly became the best spot for her to meet the secret guards.

“Please punish us, Your Highness. We haven’t dug up any information.”

Feng Tianlan frowned and said, “Keep investigating. We must find this person.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

The secret guards retreated. Feng Tianlan stared north toward the Forbidden Island, which was covered with mists and moonlight, thinking about the issue of the Shang Family’s traitor.

“Meow!”

As Feng Tianlan was pondering all this, she felt a weight on her shoulder. Then, a little fuzzy being that smelled of blood came close to her face.

“Little Furball.” Feng Tianlan raised her hand and covered her cheek. She looked down and saw the kitten, which was really as big as a cat. It was covered in white fur, and its soft pink paw was touching her neck gently. There seemed to be a stone-like object in its mouth.

“Meow!” Little Furball meowed at Feng Tianlan as it raised his round head, trying its best to give her the stone in its mouth. It opened its big, round eyes and gazed at her purely while meowing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Alright. I will refine a Beast Vitality Pill for you.” Feng Tianlan took the small stone. It was a beast pill that could only be obtained from a Stage 5 Demonic Beast or higher. It was the main ingredient for refining a Beast Vitality Pill.

Ever since Little Furball had started following her and she’d advanced to the rank of Spiritual Grandmaster, she’d been able to refine Beast Vitality Pills, which increased a demonic beast’s cultivation. However, the Beast Vitality Pill was hard to refine because the main ingredient was a beast pill. Not every demonic beast had one. Therefore, they were usually somewhat limited.

However, every time they came to this little forest, Little Furball would leave for a while and come back quickly, smelling of blood with a beast pill in its mouth. This happened so frequently that she’d ended up refining a Beast Vitality Pill for Little Furball every time they came to the forest.

Feng Tianlan summoned the Fire Cloud Furnace, started a fire, and controlled it with her Nature Element. She then put the herbs into the furnace according to the sequence and controlled the fire. After that, she used her Ice Element to form a cover around the Fire Cloud Furnace and balance its inner temperature. This ensured that the pill wouldn’t shatter from overheating.

This went on for an hour. The pill’s fragrance wafted out. Finally, the pill was ready. However, when Feng Tianlan extinguished the fire, she did not take out the pill instantly. Instead, she used her Nature Element to envelop the Fire Cloud Furnace for fifteen minutes. When this was finished, only then did she remove the lid.

The pill flew out. It was supposed to fall into a porcelain bottle, but it fluttered away instead. Feng Tianlan looked over coldly and asked, “Who’s there?”

An elderly man, who was around eighty years old with gray-white hair and the aura of an immortal, was leaning against a nearby tree. He held the pill that she’d just refined in his hand and sniffed it gently.

With just one look, Feng Tianlan recognized the old man’s ability. He was about to breakthrough Dark Supreme and become an Advanced-stage Spiritual Emperor!

This was the strongest spiritual master on all of the Guiyuan Continent!
