Chapter 2084: Chapter 2039: Terms of Exchange
Swiftly heading towards the entrance to leave.
By this time, two days had passed, and with the entrance closing soon, there was no longer any point in staying here.
"Chen Yang!"
After Chen Yang had run tens of kilometers, suddenly Feng Nihuang’s voice echoed from behind.
So he stopped.
"Saintess Feng, why have you come after me? Is there something you need?" Chen Yang smiled as he looked at Feng Nihuang.
Feng Nihuang approached Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, you should know why I came, right?"
Chen Yang certainly knew.
His greatest secret had been discovered by someone, naturally he was curious about how she knew.
"Well, I guess it must be because you want to ask me why I know about the flame inside of you, right?" Chen Yang laughed.
"You’re right." Feng Nihuang didn’t hide anything and directly asked, "How did you know? The flame inside me is only known by Aunt Qingwu, did she tell you?"
"How would the Phoenix Clan elder tell me that?" Chen Yang said.
"Then how did you know?" Feng Nihuang blinked, filled with curiosity.
She really couldn’t figure out how Chen Yang had seen it.
"I practice medicine and have honed the skills of observation and diagnosis. It wasn’t hard to see by observing carefully," Chen Yang said with a relaxed expression.
"Impossible!" Feng Nihuang couldn’t believe it at all!
Because, in the Mystic Realm, among countless powerful cultivators, none had noticed anything amiss.
Chen Yang claimed he saw it at a glance, how could that be?
"I’m telling the truth, there’s nothing impossible about it!" Chen Yang, seeing her disbelief, didn’t know how else to explain, so he could only say so.
Feng Nihuang didn’t speak, with her phoenix eyes tightly watching Chen Yang.
As if she wanted to see right through him.
"Fine, even if you can sense the flame inside of me, but I can’t control it, how did you know?" Feng Nihuang, still curious, continued to inquire.
Chen Yang still smiled, "Didn’t I just say? I practice medicine; I can see if a patient has an ailment at a glance, not to mention your symptoms are so obvious."
Obvious?
Feng Nihuang felt inexplicably tense.
That feeling of being seen through at a glance was very uncomfortable.
"You... what did you see then?" Feng Nihuang asked nervously.
"I just saw that you couldn’t control the flame inside you, and instead endure its burning pain on your body. What else could I see?" Chen Yang replied honestly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Nihuang felt inexplicably relieved again.
"Alright then!"
"Well, do you have anything else?" Chen Yang found this Saintess interesting, but did not intend to chat any further, he was in a hurry to get out, and to swiftly refine the three Dragon Qi elixirs in his body.
Only by refining the three elixirs, coupled with the Dragon Qi Green Lotus, could he confidently breach higher realms!
Breaking through the Spirit Gathering Realm would ensure his safety.
Given the Ghost Gate Hall was watching him closely, who knew what he might encounter upon leaving Divine Dragon Mountain.
Additionally, there were other entities surely interested in him.
Ambitious forces might negotiate and offer him an olive branch.
But some with ulterior motives might directly take action against him; it’s hard to say.
"Yes, yes, there’s something!" Feng Nihuang hastily spoke as Chen Yang was about to leave.
"What’s left to discuss?" Chen Yang looked at her.
"You can’t tell anyone about the flame inside me and my inability to control it, keep it a secret. As compensation, I’ll tell you important information that’s crucial for you!" Feng Nihuang said solemnly.
Chen Yang felt both curious and puzzled hearing this.
Curious why she was so concerned about the secret of the flame inside her being revealed?
Puzzled over the latter part of her statement.
Information crucial to him?
"What information are you speaking of? Tell me first." Chen Yang asked with interest.
Feng Nihuang said calmly, "You’re not interested in joining a sect to enter the Mystic Realm, right?"
"I can tell you a way to enter the Mystic Realm without joining a sect."
"Moreover, using this method won’t just let you enter the Mystic Realm, it will also greatly assist your cultivation."
Chen Yang was moved!
Very much so.
In fact, after hearing Feng Nihuang talk about the Mystic Realm yesterday, Chen Yang was longing for it.
After all, there are better conditions there to help him quickly advance his realm.
He hesitated because joining a force was necessary, so he temporarily put it aside.
Now with Feng Nihuang suggesting a way without joining forces to enter the Mystic Realm, he was naturally tempted.
"What method?" Chen Yang asked immediately.
"You can pass the recruitment test of Cangnan Academy, become a student there, and head to the Mystic Realm." Feng Nihuang said calmly.
"Cangnan Academy?"
Chen Yang knew nothing about the Mystic Realm but guessed from the name that it should be some kind of academic institution.
"Yes, Cangnan Academy is considered a force in the Mystic Realm, but its status is very special." Feng Nihuang explained.
"So isn’t this still like joining a force?"
"No, its nature is different." Feng Nihuang shook her head and continued to explain, "The status of Cangnan Academy is special because it’s not supposed to belong to any particular force."
"It was established when the Mystic Realm was formed as an institution to purely cultivate strong individuals."
"Generally, joining a sect involves causal ties, you need to bear responsibility for the sect, lifelong ties you can’t break free from."
"But joining Cangnan Academy is different, the freedom of students is entirely their own, the academy will never interfere..."
...
Feng Nihuang earnestly explained to Chen Yang.
She talked a lot.
Basically, it meant that Cangnan Academy is similar to a public school in modern society.
They only train students and have no other entanglements with them.
Still considered as an independent state.
"Additionally, Cangnan Academy’s resources, while not as good as some sects, are considered decent in the Mystic Realm. It is the best way for you to enter the Mystic Realm," Feng Nihuang said.
After hearing this, Chen Yang felt he had a rough understanding of Cangnan Academy.
And indeed had become interested.
This institution could definitely be joined.
Not only to enter the Mystic Realm but also as a stepping stone to understand the Mystic Realm and to improve his own cultivation.
"What do you mean by the test?" Chen Yang continued asking calmly.
"The test is a way of recruiting disciples externally for Cangnan Academy."
"Normally, they only recruit within the Mystic Realm, but this year is different, I’ve heard special groups are coming out of the Mystic Realm to recruit disciples." Feng Nihuang explained, then looked into Chen Yang’s eyes, "With your talent, I believe you have no problem entering Cangnan Academy."
Got it.
