Chapter 6071: Something That Is Impossible
The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief looked awkward, but his smile remained unabated. Regardless, it was a good thing that this wasnât a wasted trip, so it didnât matter on whose account Ouyang Kongyu was helping Chu Feng.
âElder, you know my mother?â Chu Feng anxiously asked.
âWe have met.â Ouyang Kongyu smiled, but he didnât elaborate too much.
That smile surprised the crowd. Thus far, Ouyang Kongyu had maintained a cold face, even when interacting with the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief. It made them wonder whether his smile was out of appreciation of Chu Feng or his reminiscing of his ties with Jie Ranqing.
âDonât stand here. Come and rest in my monastery.â Ouyang Kongyu waved his hand.
âElder, your monastery is out in the open. Is it fine for us to enter just like that?â the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief asked hesitantly.
He was worried about Chu Fengâs identity.
Chu Fengâs grudge with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion was public knowledge. It could bring trouble to Ouyang Kongyu if others learned that he had associated himself with Chu Feng.
âDonât bother yourself with the unnecessary. I wouldnât have taken this request if I was afraid of Jie Tianran,â Ouyang Kongyu said.
By then, he had already vanished, returning to the monastery.
âWhat a temper.â Long Chengyu frowned.
Even though they had come with a request for the other party, he still felt displeased seeing someone treating his father with such disrespect. He would have long spoken up about it if not for his worries that he might get in Chu Fengâs way.
In contrast, the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief showed no unhappiness. âThis is how Elder Ouyang is. Letâs enter then.â
Thus, Chu Feng and the others entered the monastery.
Ouyang Kongyu felt Jia Lingyiâs pulse, with Chu Feng and Bai Yunqing waiting by the side. Meanwhile, Wang Qiang and the others rested in the hall.
The male teenager quickly stopped his training and served the crowd tea. He discreetly eyed the crowd before his gaze suddenly stopped on Chu Feng. His eyes lit up, and his cheeks reddened in excitement.
âW-w-whatâs wrong, little brother? Are you i-i-interested in my brother?â Wang Qiang teased.
âT-t-thatâs not it!â the teenager exclaimed.
âW-w-why are you copying me?â Wang Qiang glared at the teenager.
âI-I-I didnât!â The teenager anxiously waved his hand,
âY-y-you dare claim otherwise?â Wang Qiang pretended to be angry.
âHeâs the same as youâa born stutterer,â Ouyang Kongyu said. He turned to Chu Feng and said, âThat rascal is Tian Ming. He admires you a lot after hearing about your exploits.â
Chu Feng turned to Tian Ming and smiled.
Tian Mingâs look of nervousness transformed into a radiant smile. He was handsome despite being a stutterer, and it helped that he was young too. He had a comfortable face to look at.
âEy, itâs so n-n-nice to be young. I miss the old days. Others used to c-c-compliment me a lot back then.â Wang Qiang eyed Long Muxi, but the latter didnât respond.
Instead, it was Long Chengyu who asked out of curiosity, âBrother Wang Qiang, what do you compliment you for? Your martial cultivation?â
âThey compliment me for being young,â Wang Qiang replied.
âAh...â Long Chengyu was speechless.
Complimenting a young man for being young? That doesnât sound like much of a compliment. It feels more like they are struggling to find things to compliment you.
âHaa, time is merciless. In the blink of an eye, Iâm already at this age,â Wang Qiang remarked.
âIndeed,â Long Chengyu agreed.
âWhat are you two rascals saying? A bunch of kids talking like old men! Juniors like you are no different from infants in the world of cultivation!â the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief said.
Most cultivators they knew lived for tens of thousands of years. Even the less talented one should not face too much trouble living for thousands of years.
Just then, Ouyang Kongyu retracted his hand from Jia Lingyiâs wrist and frowned. âHer condition is worse than I thought.â
âElder, is it possible to restore her sanity?â Chu Feng asked.
âItâll take some time, and thereâs no guarantee itâll work. Do you want to go ahead? If so, Iâll have to make some preparations first,â Ouyang Kongyu said.
âYes, I want to go ahead,â Chu Feng said.
âAll right. Wait here for me.â
Ouyang Kongyu took his leave.
âFather, is Elder Ouyang trustworthy?â Long Chengyu asked the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief via voice transmission.
âRest assured. Elder Ouyang might be eccentric, but he is a trustworthy person,â the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief replied.
Chu Feng walked up to the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief and said, âElder, thank you for bringing me here.â
âYoung friend Chu Feng, thereâs no need to thank me.â The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief waved his hand.
âElder, the Totem Dragon Clan is in a critical phase right now. You donât have to stay here to accompany me,â Chu Feng revealed his thoughts.
He knew that the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief wanted to repay the debt, but consideration went both ways. If the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief had nothing on hand, he would be more than happy to have such a powerhouse accompanying him.
However, the Totem Dragon Clan was in a critical phase.
Regaining dominance over the Totem Galaxy was one thing, but more importantly, after what had happened to the Immortal Sea Fish Clan and the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect, the Totem Dragon Clan needed its clan chief to analyze the matter and figure out their next step.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, feel free to come to the Totem Dragon Clan after this matter is over. Our Totem Dragon Clan will side with you, even against the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion,â the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief said.
âAll right,â Chu Feng accepted the offer with a smile, but he had no intention of seeking refuge with the Totem Dragon Clan.
On the one hand, he didnât want to implicate the Totem Dragon Clan. On the other hand, the Totem Dragon Clan didnât have the means to protect him either.
Chu Feng wanted Bai Yunqing to return with the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief, but Bai Yunqing insisted on staying behind.
The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief waited for Ouyang Kongyu to return before taking his leave with Long Chengyu and Long Muxi. Wang Qiang and Bai Yunqing stayed behind to accompany Chu Feng.
Ouyang Kongyu took out a bunch of containers and laid them on the ground. Steam was rising from these containers, along with medicinal fragrances. They must have been concocted with special medicinal herbs, or else they wouldnât have maintained such a state.
âThe three of you are world spiritists, right?â Ouyang Kongyu asked while fiddling with the containers.
âYes,â the three of them replied in unison. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCome here and help, but donât use your spirit power,â Ouyang Kongyu said as he tossed identical containers, equipment, and three Cosmos Sacks to each of them.
âProcess the herbs using this method. The processing must be on point; you canât make any mistakes. I know that you are lauded as prodigies, but this wonât be easy. Give it a try. Itâll be good if you can pull it off, but tell me in advance if you canât do it lest you waste my herbs.â
With a wave of his sleeves, Ouyang Kongyu conjured an elaborate blueprint detailing how the equipment should be used to process the herbs.
One of the competencies of a world spiritist was their ability to treat ailments, so most of them were familiar with dealing with herbs too. The herbs Ouyang Kongyu had brought out looked ordinary, but they werenât as simple as they seemed. They needed to be specially processed before they could be used.
Chu Feng, Wang Qiang, and Bai Yunqing began processing and mixing the herbs with the equipment using Ouyang Kongyuâs method before placing them into the containers. While it looked simple on the surface, the difficulty level was high.
For instance, the herbs had to be processed with an extremely high level of precision, or else they would lose their medicinal energy, thus rendering everything futile.
The three of them were like apprentices, struggling in the earlier phase.
Chu Feng quickly grasped the method, followed by Bai Yunqing.
Only Wang Qiang kept groaning, âImpossible. I-I-I canât do this.â
âSteer clear if you canât do it,â Ouyang Kongyu impatiently replied.
Wang Qiang grinned. âSure thing, e-e-elder! Feel free to c-c-call me when you need me.â
He happily ran off to the side.
Ouyang Kongyu would glance at Chu Feng and Bai Yunqing now and then while processing the herbs himself.
âElder, Iâm done.â
Chu Feng walked over with the containers. He had processed not just his portion but Wang Qiangâs too.
âHave someone taught you before?â Ouyang Kongyu was baffled.
His method was different from normal world spiritist techniques and traditional medical skills. Even prodigies should have taken a long time to grasp it. Yet, Chu Fengâs processed herbs looked nothing like the handiwork of an amateur, not to mention that he completed the task fast.
âItâs my first time.â Chu Feng smiled.
âI see your talent isnât limited to just martial cultivation and world spiritist techniques.â Ouyang Kongyu nodded in approval. âSpeaking of which, Jie Tianran mentioned on the Nine Heavensâ Zenith that he plundered your motherâs bloodline. You shouldnât believe those words.â
Chu Feng sensed that there was something deeper to those words, so he quickly asked, âWhat makes you say that, elder?â
âNothing could happen to your mother,â Ouyang Kongyu replied.
