Free Web NovelChapter 360: Chapter 360: Purple Mist Seal
Little Ape had successfully woken up, so Lin Yun had been in a great mood for the past two days. Early one morning, just as he stepped into the courtyard, he was surprised to see Luo Feng sitting in the small pavilion.
Bowing to Luo Feng, Lin Yun said respectfully, "Palace Master."
Luo Feng nodded in response. He glanced at Lin Yun, then his gaze shifted to Little Ape on Lin Yun’s shoulder. A peculiar glint flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing.
"You kid, you’ve only been at the Flawless Palace for a few months. Tell me, how much trouble have you caused already?" Luo Feng said, feigning anger after sizing up the two of them.
Hearing this, Lin Yun, who still had no idea that his trip to the Demon Beast Ridge had been Luo Feng’s idea, felt a little guilty and said, "Palace Master, I’ve only ever acted in self-defense. I..."
"Alright, alright. You just can’t stay out of trouble. This time, you killed half the Tier Three Demon Beasts in the Demon Beast Ridge. If it weren’t for me, those old geezers would’ve dealt with you long ago," Luo Feng said.
"Thank you, Palace Master." Lin Yun bowed to Luo Feng again. Although he didn’t know why Luo Feng was here today, it was clear he hadn’t come just to talk about this. There had to be some other business.
Sure enough, after a pause, Luo Feng looked at Lin Yun and said, "I mainly came today to tell you something. In one month, you will go to the Jincheng Mo Family in my place. The Mo Family’s eldest young miss is celebrating her hundredth birthday. You’ll go congratulate her on my behalf."
Upon hearing this, the moment Lin Yun heard "the Mo Family’s eldest young miss," he immediately realized this was probably another one of Luo Feng’s old flames. What Lin Yun didn’t expect, however, was that this particular old flame, Mo Qingshui, hated Luo Feng to the bone.
"Consider this a chance to redeem yourself. If you handle this matter well, I’ll take you on as my disciple when you return and teach you the complete Flawless Flesh Body technique."
"I will not fail." Lin Yun had no idea this was a test for him from Luo Feng and the others; he just thought it was a simple errand.
After telling Lin Yun this, Luo Feng had one more thing to say. He stood up, walked slowly to the center of the small courtyard, and said lightly to Lin Yun.
"You aren’t a Core Disciple yet, so by rights, you should be learning Martial Skills at the Martial Arts Hall. However, you don’t have any Merit Points right now. Today, I’ll first teach you a signature Martial Skill of the Flawless Palace. While it’s not some profound technique, its power is terrifying once you’ve mastered it."
With that, Luo Feng led Lin Yun toward the backyard. In the back was a spacious Martial Arts Training Ground and a training chamber. This was Luo Feng’s private place for cultivation.
Bringing Lin Yun here, Luo Feng simply said, "Watch closely," and began to demonstrate for him.
Watching Luo Feng’s movements, Lin Yun recognized it. It was none other than the Flawless Palace’s Purple Mist Seal. It was a Martial Skill that almost everyone in the Flawless Palace knew—everyone except, of course, the Outer Disciples with low Cultivation.
When performed by Luo Feng, the Purple Mist Seal was countless times more terrifying than when used by the Direct Disciples. It was like two completely different Martial Skills.
To let Lin Yun see more clearly, Luo Feng deliberately slowed down. Finally, when Luo Feng struck out with his palm, a purple-gold seal dozens of meters wide formed in an instant.
He demonstrated it three times in a row, and afterward, Luo Feng told Lin Yun some key points to be aware of.
"From now on, you can come here to cultivate whenever you want. Remember, set off for Jincheng in one month. Don’t be late." With that said, Luo Feng gracefully drifted away.
After Luo Feng left, Lin Yun remained on the Martial Arts Training Ground and began to practice the Purple Mist Seal.
An Earth Level Martial Skill would probably be very difficult for others to learn. But Lin Yun had the Demon Emperor Technique. Holding his breath and focusing his mind, Lin Yun sank his consciousness, and the small, blood-red figure within his Qi Sea began demonstrating the Purple Mist Seal for him.
The small, blood-red figure was truly the best Martial Skill instructor. Every move and stance was even clearer than Luo Feng’s demonstration—it was textbook-perfect instruction.
Under the guidance of the blood-red figure’s demonstration, Lin Yun watched carefully dozens of times. Each time, the figure perfectly displayed the True Intent of the Purple Mist Seal.
He spent half the day observing the blood-red figure’s movements and details. It wasn’t until the afternoon that Lin Yun finally began to practice on his own.
The first time, Lin Yun mimicked the blood-red figure’s movements and struck a palm toward the sky. A purple-gold handprint dozens of meters wide took shape, its power greater than an ordinary Profound Level Upper Tier Martial Technique.
Looking at the results of his first attempt, Lin Yun wasn’t very satisfied. Forget comparing its power to Luo Feng’s; it was far weaker than even that of a Direct Disciple.
However, Lin Yun wasn’t discouraged. After all, this was only his first attempt. For anyone else, it would be difficult to achieve such a result even on their hundredth try, let alone their first.
Lin Yun was only able to do it because of the blood-red figure’s help. With its existence, Lin Yun’s speed at learning any Martial Skill was terrifyingly fast.
For the next several days, Lin Yun spent all his time on the Martial Arts Training Ground, except when he was sleeping. For seven straight days, his Purple Mist Seal became more and more proficient, and its power grew greater and greater.
Just like the previous few days, Lin Yun was practicing the Purple Mist Seal. He struck out with his palm, and now, his Purple Mist Seal was already several meters in size.
In the distance, Luo Feng saw the results of Lin Yun’s seven days of practice, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. ’Lin Yun has practiced the Purple Mist Seal to this degree in just seven days. It seems he’ll be able to grasp the True Intent of the Purple Mist Seal in another month or two at most.’
Grasping the True Intent of the Purple Mist Seal in just one or two months—such a thing had never happened in the history of the Flawless Palace. Even Luo Feng himself had taken a full year to grasp the True Intent back when he first learned it.
"This kid... so his talent for Martial Skills is also this heaven-defying. Truly remarkable. It seems I’ve still underestimated him. As long as he keeps growing, I’m afraid he’ll truly be able to contend with those Demon Fiends on the Green Hero Venerable List," Luo Feng laughed.
The stronger Lin Yun appeared, the happier Luo Feng was. In his heart, Luo Feng already considered Lin Yun his disciple. ’The more freakish and powerful Lin Yun becomes, won’t I, his master, gain more face?’
"Haha, you four old fossils! The next time we meet, I’ll have a Demon Fiend disciple too! Let’s see you mock me then, haha." Luo Feng laughed heartily, his mood excellent.
In the past, whenever the Six Great Forces gathered, the Sect Leaders of the other five—with the exception of the Spiritual Light Pavilion Master—would all mock Luo Feng. And how did they mock him? Naturally, by saying he didn’t know how to teach a disciple. Each of their disciples was a Demon Fiend, forming the so-called Five Great Demon Fiends of the Eastern Domain. Only Luo Feng had none.
In previous years, because of this, Luo Feng returned scowling every single time. There was nothing he could do; he simply didn’t have one, and that was a fact he couldn’t argue.
It was for this very reason that Luo Feng had never taken on a single disciple. He had sworn an oath that his disciple had to become the sixth great Demon Fiend of the Eastern Domain. Otherwise, he was better off not taking one at all.
