Chapter 361: Chapter 360: Protection, Good Intentions?
By Celestial Pool Lake, inside the newly built Endless Hall.
Two graceful and beautiful young women sized up Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was also sizing them up. He hadn’t seen them in over a month, and the auras they exuded had grown much more powerful.
They had clearly had their own fortuitous encounters.
Both women carried a decisive, battle-hardened air, and Qin Feng guessed they must have recently gone through a life-or-death trial.
He sensed a light and ethereal aura from Baiyun. From this, Qin Feng could tell she had condensed at least twenty or more Wind Attribute Upper Grade Spirit Veins.
This Senior Sister Baiyun had always been profoundly skilled in the dao of the Wind Attribute, and now she had clearly reached a new level.
She must have just successfully cultivated an extremely profound Wind Attribute Divine Ability. Because it was newly mastered, her aura was leaking out, causing the air around her to vibrate uncontrollably.
Yun Mo wore a black dress. The cold, stunning girl possessed a captivating blend of innocence and charm. Yun Mo cultivated a rare Soul Attribute Secret Technique.
She was proficient in many Spiritual Techniques.
"Junior Brother, a great opportunity has arrived! Some of the experts in the Star Sect have predicted that an exceptionally rare Starlight Spiritual Tide will appear in the first layer of the Star River!"
The eyes of the girl in white shone brightly, filled with an irrepressible joy.
"Yes, a rare opportunity indeed. And as soon as *someone* heard the news, she ran straight to a certain pervert!" the black-robed girl huffed, pouting.
"Junior Sister!" A blush appeared on the white-robed girl’s pretty face. "Don’t talk nonsense!"
Yun Mo was dissatisfied. "Nonsense? You’re doing a good deed but trying to hide it. A certain someone might not even appreciate it. He’s having a grand old time with his cute maids and beautiful mermaids. I heard he met plenty of beauties during the Hidden Dragon Points Competition, too. He even captured a stunning beauty from the Dark Heavenly Lion Clan!"
"A beauty in each arm, living the high life!"
"..."
A flicker of awkwardness crossed Qin Feng’s face. He glanced at Senior Sister Baiyun, just as she was quietly looking his way. Her gaze met his dark, bright eyes, which were like stars.
A hint of pink appeared on the girl’s lovely skin. She shot her friend a glare before her eyes landed back on Qin Feng. She said,
"Junior Brother, don’t listen to Junior Sister Yun Mo’s nonsense. What are your plans for this Starlight Spiritual Tide?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng’s expression relaxed. Of course he understood Baiyun’s intentions, but matters of the heart were the most troublesome.
A tangled web, impossible to straighten out.
To be honest, Qin Feng didn’t actually have any improper feelings for Senior Sister Baiyun.
The unions between Martial Arts Strongmen were different from those of ordinary people.
When ordinary people’s relationships fell apart, they suffered for a century at most. But Martial Artists lived long lives. If things went wrong, you could be entangled for a thousand years, perhaps even ten thousand, until the end of time.
Unless the feelings were mutual, Qin Feng was unwilling to casually incur a romantic debt.
Seeing Baiyun proactively change the subject, Qin Feng quickly took the opening.
"This Starlight Spiritual Tide is an opportunity that comes once in a millennium. Legend has it that the Tide is a grand phenomenon formed by the gathering of immeasurable starlight within the Star River. During every Tide, countless Nebula Giant Beasts converge. If you’re lucky, you can even find rare Star Crystals and Star Essences within it. Those are Supreme Treasures for condensing Spiritual Power!"
He let out a soft sigh, not bothering to hide his awe at the prospect of the Starlight Spiritual Tide.
Baiyun said, "That’s right. Within the Starlight Spiritual Tide, Star Essence Qi pools into rivers. Countless Nebula Giant Beasts appear. Forget about killing a few of them; just the Star Essence Qi gathered in the Tide is enough to allow our Cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds!"
Yun Mo glanced at Baiyun and Qin Feng, snorted, and said, "That’s if you live long enough to absorb the Star Essence Qi in the Tide. They say there are terrifying Level Five Nebula Giant Beasts, Level Six Nebula Ancient Beasts, and even horrifying existences at Level Seven or higher!"
"If you even brush up against that kind of existence, a single sneeze from it could annihilate a Condensing Vein expert!"
"That’s not even the most dangerous part!" Baiyun’s delicate brows furrowed, a trace of worry in her beautiful eyes. "When the Starlight Spiritual Tide erupts, it won’t just be experts from our Star Sect. The Sun and Moon Sword Sect, the Celestial Beam Sect, and the Primordial Sect will likely all send their own people. It’ll be a chaotic mix of friend and foe..."
"Not to mention other smaller branch sects. In short, it’s probably going to be a huge mess!"
After a moment of thought, Qin Feng looked at Baiyun and said, "Senior Sister Baiyun, has the Star Sect calculated the specific time of the Starlight Spiritual Tide’s arrival?"
"In three days!"
"This is a pretty good opportunity, then!" A strange light flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes.
"What did you two have in mind?" Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon Baiyun and Yun Mo.
Clearly, Baiyun and Yun Mo hadn’t come here just to deliver this news to him.
Baiyun and Yun Mo exchanged a glance. After a moment, Baiyun spoke up, "Junior Brother, you already know that we are members of the Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion. This time, our Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion would like to invite you to hunt with us!"
"Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion?" Qin Feng’s brow furrowed.
A hint of pride appeared on her face, and the black-robed girl’s eyes flashed as she said, "You’re in luck this time, you damn pervert. You’ve actually caught the eye of our Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion’s Pavilion Master!"
"With the protection of our Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion, you’ll benefit endlessly from this Starlight Spiritual Tide!"
"Junior Sister!" Hearing Yun Mo’s tone, Baiyun knew this was going badly.
"I’m in luck?"
Qin Feng glanced at the proud girl in the black dress, a sneer playing on his lips.
Qin Feng’s gaze landed on the girl in white. "Senior Sister Baiyun, thank you for sharing such important news. I appreciate your Pavilion Master’s kind intentions, but I’m used to being on my own and don’t like being constrained. I’m afraid I have to apologize!"
The black-robed girl’s brows knitted together, and her beautiful eyes fixed on the black-clothed young man. "Qin Feng, don’t be so ungrateful! Don’t you know how dangerous the Starlight Spiritual Tide is? You’re only at the Condensing Vein Realm! Don’t think that just because you won first place in the Hidden Dragon Points Competition that you’re something special. Let me tell you, first place in that competition means nothing!"
"In the Starlight Spiritual Tide, without the protection of an expert, not only will you gain nothing, you’ll even lose your life!"
"It’s fine for a person to have pride, but if you don’t know your own limits, you’ll never get far!"
"Junior Sister, stop it!" Baiyun said anxiously. Why was Junior Sister Yun Mo so stubborn, always picking a fight with Junior Brother Qin Feng?
Yun Mo shook off Baiyun’s hand, a cold sneer on her face as she looked at the black-clothed young man. "Senior Sister, stay out of this. Someone here doesn’t know what’s good for him. Do you know who our Pavilion Master is? He’s a young giant at the Sea of Reincarnation Realm! To be appreciated by our Pavilion Master is an opportunity that countless geniuses at All Stars Academy can only dream of..."
"Junior Sister!" Baiyun’s expression turned stern. She looked at the young man in black, biting her lower lip, and was about to say something when Qin Feng stopped her.
